ATTENTION BARACK OBAMA AND MSM

Europe doesn't decide who our President is and if the polls are showing Barack with a slight lead over McCain, then Barack is in real trouble because polls traditionally under represent Republicans... You cannot propagandize Americans to vote for Barack. There are still too many intelligent people who actually realize that "Change" is a slogan, not a position.

"Big Oil" is NOT the enemy

Democrats are always going on and on about how "Big Oil" is making too much profit and they want to tax their "windfall profits". What they don't tell you is that almost all of that profit goes to 401k plans, or pension plans NOT to corporate big wigs, and whenever the government taxes a business, it is actually taxing you. All businesses pass on their taxes in one form or another. Either they raise their prices or they don't hire as many people, or they lay people off....

Educate yourself and find out the truth about "Big Oil" before the Democrats find another way to tax you.

Ignorance is the Democrats' best friend. Don't be ignorant.

Educating Barack Obama

Barack Obama says that Republicans will try to scare voters by telling them "he is black". First of all, I don't think that Republicans have to tell anyone that Barack is black, unless they are blind, but let me educate you Mr. Obama on the Republican party.

It was the Republican party that formed in order to end slavery. While the Democrats pushed to have slavery expanded to more states, Republicans fought to stop them. It was the Republican party that passed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments giving blacks their freedom and the right to vote. Only 19 of the 82 Democrats in Congress voted for the 13th Amendment, all of the Republicans voted for it. And while 94% of the Republicans voted in support of the 14th Amendment, not one single Democrat voted for it or for the 15th Amendment. - It is public record, look it up.

It was a Democrat court that ruled that Dred Scott was property rather than a person (while adopting a 'Constitution is a living document' view). It was Democrats who started Jim Crow laws and literacy tests to prevent blacks from voting. It was also the Democrats who formed the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate Republicans, especially Blacks who chose to be Republicans. Blacks were threatened with death if they voted Republican but the KKK didn't just attack blacks. Any Republican was a target.

You look at any public records and you will find that the majority of Republicans throughout history supported civil rights while the majority of Democrats didn't. Look at the party platforms from the civil war on and you will see one party standing up for blacks, and that was the Republican party. The Democrat party has always and still does look down on blacks.

Democrats push affirmative action because they do not think that blacks are capable of the same intelligence as whites. They push for welfare because it destroys the black family and keeps them in poverty. Blacks have voted with the Democrats since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act wouldn't have been passed without the Republicans because southern Democrats were not supporting it, but the Democrats were given the credit for the passage and since then 80% plus of blacks have voted Democrat and how has poverty been fixed? How has their education been improved? How are blacks better off then they were back then? They aren't.

Democrats still see people as property, thus their militant stance on abortion, including partial-birth abortion and born-alive babies. Especially considering that 90% of Planned Parenthood operations are in impoverished black communities. If they can't keep you from procreating, then they will offer you the chance to destroy your own children after conception.

They still see blacks as incapable of taking care of themselves without the help of white people (thus they try to get them addicted to welfare benefits). You want to see racism, look at your own party. While you ridicule and mock blacks who have joined the Republican party as "Uncle Tom's", it is you and others like you who have attacked the abolitionists in favor of the slave holder. No, Mr. Obama, Republicans aren't going to try to scare people because you are black, but it should scare people that you are so ignorant.

Time To Clean House in Congress

If you were born in the late 1960's or later, then you better start paying attention. Congress is taking our hardworking money to placate the older generation, because our generations don't vote enough. They are spending our money and our future with no thought to where it will leave us when they are gone.

John Stossel takes on this spending spree in his article The Entitlement Mess.

Investor Business Daily Takes on Dems and Nationalization of Oil Companies Idea

Anytime the Democrats talk about Nationalizing anything, they are talking about forcibly taking over someone else's business. That means less freedom for you and me and more control for the government...Investor's Business Daily takes on one of these nationalization ideas --- The nationalization of oil

Nationalize This!
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Energy Independence: "We can't drill our way out of the problem," goes the Democratic mantra on oil. So what would Democrats do? Some in the party have the worst possible answer: "Nationalize the oil industry.

In the kind of "oops!" moments politicians have when they say something they wish they hadn't, two House Democrats have recently suggested nationalizing the U.S. oil industry.

TROUBLING TRENDS COMING TO AMERICA

I have noticed a plethora of stories from Canada and Northern Ireland and other western societies where the mere criticism of the homosexual lifestyle is prosecuted in a court of law. What troubles me most is that there is a push for a hates crime law that would punish the exact same criticisms in the United States. No longer would you be able to voice your opinions, no matter how politically incorrect, without fear of imprisonment. This is happening all over the world in western societies overtaken by liberals who think their way of thinking is the only legitimate way to think.

I don’t agree with many of the liberal viewpoints. I don’t agree that abortion should be a woman’s right. Having carried two children, I know without a doubt in my mind that my children were separate human beings with a different blood type than my own, different colored eyes, different personalities and they were children as soon as they began to form, even when I saw them only as a little beating heart on the ultrasound at six weeks gestational age. Will I be punished some day for voicing an opposing opinion to the liberal mantra that abortion is a woman’s God-given right?

I don’t agree that global warming or climate change is a major threat to human civilization. Rather I believe that its hard-core followers are a very serious threat to human freedom. These people believe that humans are a menace to the Earth. While many of the global warming alarmists warn of catastrophic damage to the Earth, they fly around the world in their private jets, and stay in their huge mansions, drive their caravans of SUV’s all while demanding that we give up more of our freedoms to save the planet. Have you any doubt that they would keep their own freedoms while dictating that you must limit yours? Will I one day become a criminal for being a natural skeptic?

I don’t agree with Nazi skinheads who dream of an Aryan super-race like their hero Adolph Hitler, but I would much rather allow them to voice their opinions in a peaceful manner, knowing that all opinions are protected by law, even those that are abhorrent to most people, than worry that one day my own opinions may be banned and/or punishable as crimes.

What I want to know is how many of our freedoms do we have to lose before Americans put a stop to it? Will we wake up one day and find that we are no longer allowed to have our own opinions? That our choice of food, our choice of car, our choice of energy to heat/cool our home, our choice of home, our choice of doctor is no longer ours to make, but rather dictated to us by a government that has decided that we cannot make our own decisions in the best interest of the planet and/or country? It isn’t too far away. Too many Americans sit back and let our government siphon off our freedoms one at a time without realizing that at some point we will have no more freedom.

Do you think that Venezuelans ever thought that they would lose their freedoms? That one day their government would confiscate the private oil businesses for the government? That Hugo Chavez would take over the radio/television stations when they didn’t spout his socialist mantra?

Nobody ever thinks that they will lose their freedom until it is too late. We have got to start paying attention in this country because we are headed down a slippery slope that our forefathers would roll over in their graves to know we have allowed. We have less freedom today than they had when they decided to separate from England. They rebelled when the British government collected taxes worth two weeks of their pay, and today we let our government confiscate four and a half months pay without blinking an eye. We are still the freest nation on Earth, but tell me, if Americans allow their government to take their freedoms, where do we go to find them again?

DO YOU LOVE YOUR FREEDOM?

I have a question for you. Do you love your freedom? How much do you love it? Are you a non-smoker? Did you support the ban on smoking in public places and private businesses? Then you don’t love freedom enough. Do you like junk food/fast food? What if the government decided to make the decision that you couldn’t eat junk food anymore because it causes obesity and raises insurance rates? Would you support that?
You see the problem with supporting taking away someone else’s freedom is that eventually they come for your freedoms. The freedoms that you enjoy having could be assaulted by some do-gooder who thinks they know better than you what is good for you. This isn’t fantasy, this is reality. Already there have been politicians pushing to ban or raise taxes on junk food and fast food in the name of stopping obesity. They have passed a law telling you what kind of light bulb you have to use starting in 2012. Thought that was something you got to decide for your family? Not anymore.
Want to be able to afford gasoline? Then you are going to have to buy a hybrid car because Congress refuses to pursue our own sources of energy until we find a viable source of alternative energy. In the 1990’s a large coal field was located in Utah and so Clinton made it a National Park to prevent mining. Anwar in Alaska has billions of barrels of oil, but Congress refuses to let us drill for it because it could harm the Caribou, even though supporters of drilling only want to use 12,000 acres of the 19.2 million acres. The Alaskan people support drilling there, but Congress refuses to allow it.
Congress treats us like we are little children who need their guidance, when our Constitution tells us that they work for us rather than rule over us. The burning question here is who is better able to determine what is better for you and your family? Is it a big bureaucratic Congress in Washington or you? If you believe it is you, then you better start paying attention to what is going on in America, because the power to choose for yourself and your family is being eroded by an overly aggressive Congress and liberal judicial activists who are pushing socialist policies regardless of Constitutional restraints and legal precedents against it.
If a politician is promising you national healthcare, then you have to start asking “How do they plan on paying for that?” The government doesn’t have any of its own money, the only money they have is our tax dollars and when they promise new programs, they are promising to raise your taxes in order to pay for them. Do some research into how socialized medicine has worked in Canada and Britain. Do you really want to have to pull your own teeth because you can’t get into a dentist for 18 months? Do you really want the government having access to your most personal health information and having the power to determine whether you get that lifesaving medicine or operation? I sure don’t.
When your politician promises to bring money home for your state, do you realize that they are stealing that money from your fellow Americans? You earn your money and they want to take it and give it to someone who didn’t earn it.
Ethanol is not a viable substitute to oil. Without government subsidies, it would cost even more than gasoline, and they have taken fields that had been used for growing food, and have turned them into fields for ethanol production. This has reduced the food supply, which has driven food prices up. Environmental policies are causing starvation in third world countries who cannot afford the skyrocketing food prices.
How about security? You want your family to be safe, here in America, right? Well the Supreme Court just ruled that terrorists caught fighting our soldiers or planning terrorist attacks are afforded Constitutional rights as if they were American citizens. In other words, they are allowed to come to our mainland and take the government to court for their detainment. This is something that has never been afforded enemy soldiers in the entire history of our country. Your politicians determine who gets on the court and they are actively trying to pack the court with liberals who have no regard for our laws or our Constitution. These judges are the same judges that ruled that a state could steal your property and sell it to a development company if it meant more revenue for the state.
This is such an important issue to the future of this country. If Barack Obama becomes President, he has promised to legalize abortion even in the third term when the baby is viable. He has promised to pull our troops out of Iraq before we have secured Iraq, which will risk Iraq’s government being overthrown by radical Muslims. If that were to happen, Iraq could end up becoming another enemy to America. He has promised to appoint more judges like the ones who ruled on the side of terrorists.
Obama has promised to disarm America, even though that would make us more vulnerable to attacks and less able to defend against them. He wants to get rid of our missile defense systems, even though it is the threat of those very systems that ended the Cold War. He has promised to sit down with dictators and sworn enemies of America. We have seen this sort of naiveté before in the form of Jimmy Carter, who still embarrasses our country with his coddling of terrorists.
Barack is not only like Jimmy Carter in his position on terrorists, but also in his energy policies, economic policies and social policies. If you don’t remember the 70’s, there was an oil embargo, gasoline rations, a misery index, the overthrow of a friendly regime in Iran by a radical Muslim and all because of Carter. There was the Iranian hostage crisis, and multiple high jackings. Carter got on television and told the American people that America’s best days were behind her. He asked American’s to drive slower to conserve gas and turn their heaters down. He wasn’t smart enough to realize that his liberal policies, approved by a willing Democrat Congress caused the economic malaise in the first place.
Barack has associated himself with an anti-America, anti-white pastor for the past twenty years. He has allowed a former terrorist who tried to bomb Congress to hold a fundraiser for him. He has associated with anti-American, anti-white, anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan and the New Black Panther party.
I am not a big fan of John McCain. I don’t think that he is much smarter than Barack when it comes to the economy or energy, but I do believe that he loves this country and will not intentionally do something to undermine its security (aside from the amnesty plan, which we can continue to stop if we keep calling Congress to let them know they put their jobs at risk if they support it).
I am hopeful that Americans will start wielding their power and call their representatives to stop them whenever they try to steal our freedoms. If they ignore us, then we need to vote them out of office.
Tell Congress to stop attacking oil companies when they know that Congress has investigated them multiple times for price gouging and found them innocent. Do you think it is a good idea for Congress to confiscate the oil company profits to spend as they please? What if that was your business? What if you have stocks in oil companies in your 401k and by stealing the profits, they are stealing your retirement money. What if you worked for an oil company and by taking the profits, they put you out of a job. These actions have consequences and they are not given the right to steal a business’s profits in the Constitution of the United States. If you don’t like the price of gas, call your Senator/Congressman and tell them to start drilling for our own resources.
Don’t fall for their schemes of demonizing the rich or “Big Oil” or “Big Business”. They want to pit Americans against other Americans and make you angry at a group for having more than you so you will allow them to push socialist policies without the voters realizing it.
If you want to be rich then work hard, save your money instead of spending it on things you don’t need and pay off your debt. Don’t waste your time hating people who have more than you. In America you are not rich or poor based on your heritage, but based on what you do with the opportunities given you here. Don’t buy the tax cuts for the rich mantra. In liberal terms, anyone who works for a living is rich. Why should you get to keep your own hard-earned money when Congress could spend it to payback political cronies?
What would you do if you got a 40% increase in pay? Well that is about how much of your money is taken from you in taxes. Are you getting your money’s worth? I’m not and I am sick of Congress telling Americans that they don’t pay enough in taxes. They force their liberal policies on the rest of us and cause us to suffer financially and then they vote themselves another raise. They say they will put money in a trust fund, but they will do exactly what they have done with Social Security. They will spend money that should be in a bank drawing interest and then bankrupt the trust fund for future generations. If you are my age or younger, you are likely never going to see your social security contributions. If you do, then you are probably going to leave your own children with a huge national debt. We owe our children more than that.
If you care about their future, you have to start taking a stand for freedom. Start defending the Constitution from politicians who ignore its restrictions and the laws of this land to pursue a political agenda totally in contradiction to the freedoms this country was founded on. It is your duty to defend those freedoms at home, while our soldiers defend them abroad. We owe it to our children to leave them more freedoms than we had, not fewer.
