Words matter!

Don't look now but our government is systematically destroying our language. In a two pronged attack not only is our currency being debased through massive debt monitization but now our language, already compromised by political correctness madness, is being further debased at an alarming rate by this administration. What's particularly unnerving is that much of the recent language modification has come from "Homeland Security" and being forced on the Pentagon. The Pentagon can no longer refer to the " Global War on Terror" or "Long War" but the language police issued the the appropriate term of "Overseas Contingency Operation". We can no longer refer to a terrorist attack but rather it's a "man-caused disaster". Let's apply this standard to a headline we may have seen on December 8th, 1941 the day after Pearl Harbor: "Enemy sneak attack at Pearl Harbor ignites World War II!" Now translate that into 2009 speech: "Man-Caused Disaster at Pearl Harbor ignites Overseas Contingency Operation II" God help us! "Enemy combatant" has been stricken from the language (no PC substitute yet issued). It is no longer government "spending" it is government "investing". Money given by the government to people who pay NO TAXES s called a "Tax Cut". In a recent interview in a German newspaper given by HS Secretary Napolitano, she said the following when asked about the word games being played: "perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear". Nuance indeed. There will be little nuance in a man-caused disaster of the release of a dirty bomb in the United States. A terrorist attack IS a terrorist attack Secretary Nepolitano and you and all the other sniveling liberals will never strip knowledge from objective thinking Americans. I'm waiting for the next language gymnastic event related to the Gitmo boys. There is talk that some of the detainees will be released into our communities and in fact be provided with "assistance". Of course they will not be referred to as "suspected terrorists" or even "Guantanamo Detainees" but rather " Liberated Foreigners" of course.
Pray for our Republic, my friends.

Where are our leaders?

Just imagine as you view the video below, substituting United States for Great Britain and President Obama for Prime Minster Brown. The member of Parliament, Daniel Hannon, delivering the speech on the floor of Parliament is standing face to face with the Prime Minister. Would that the United States could find a person of such courage!

GIVE

On March 18th, under cover of all the AIG and economic turmoil, the House of Representatives passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act by a House vote of 321-105. It now goes to the Senate. (By the way, don't you just love the acronym game that is played?) To view the whole Bill (click here). The Act purports to build on the AmeriCorps concept which had its roots in the John Kennedy "Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) corps. These organizations were originally intended to promote volunteerism in the U.S. to help depressed areas such as Appalachia and others. Now, with more money available through both the stimulus Act and GIVE the concept of volunteerism is augmented with pay and other benefits including tuition benefits. GIVE will initially expand the AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 "volunteers"! And that's surely just the beginning.The areas of "service" are expanded in GIVE to include: Clean Energy, Education, Health and Veterans Service. Areas such as energy conservation and household energy efficiencies are also included. (see the excerpt below that pertains to Energy)

Sounds like a good idea, right? Let's get citizens involved in helping each other out. Well, not so fast...let's take a look at what President Obama had to say last year as candidate Obama..........



Let's put some facts together, now. The stimulus bill provides billions to community organizer groups. The Bill also reduces the charitable donations deduction for upper wage scale taxpayers with the likelihood of reduced donations. The result will provide for government to fill the void through GIVE. "Volunteers" are paid. There is a short step from voluntary service to mandatory service to help implement Obama's vision as articulated in the above video. Does any of this ring a bell to the 1930s in Europe?

Helping each other is an inherent attribute among Americans. We do it without being asked or paid. Putting GIVE in place, managed by politicians, has to generate some skepticism if not outright alarm given the direction we see this administration taking our country.

A must view video!

As the Congress obsesses with executive bonuses, ignoring their own failings and Obama plays kissy face with Iran, Islamofascists are not taking a holiday .......

Real Climate Change

There's a definite chill this morning throughout the country. This phenomenon, however, is not meteorological. It is tyrannical! We are witnessing an astonishing unleashing of government power against citizens. The Congress , reacting to a populist lynch mob mentality flamed by the president , the media, and hypocritical members of the legislature have come up with the ultimate solution...the full force of government against businessmen. We'll show them who's boss they cry. Now, there is room for debate about the merits of some of the bonuses paid at AIG strictly on a performance basis. But when a fascist takeover of an enterprise by ham handed government takes place there is no room for objective analysis. Government, frustrated by their own impotence to manage anything efficiently lashes out to cover up their own culpability. Imagine Charlie Rangel, with the stench of tax cheating on his slick hair, bellowing at AIG and delighting in the fact that after the Fed takes 90% the States will take the rest. Now that's justice! Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi (give me some more of that inside stock in windmills gal) and land deal whorehouse Harry Reid all jumping on board the pitch fork brigade! Sadly, much of the public , fueled by union and "community organizer" demonstrations delight in seeing those greedy bastards at AIG get theirs!
But where does a blood lust government stop? Who's next on the list? Which weapon of wholesale destruction will be used next, IRS, EPA, DOE, Commerce, Congress, Executive Order?

We are witnessing an all out attack on capitalism at every level of government. Using the tax code to punish citizens is frightening enough. But that is just the beginning. More and more of our freedoms will come under fire in the coming months and years under this power crazed administration. The reckless spending is accumulating a massive debt which will smother economic activity for decades. If allowed, National health care will become a curse on all of us. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TRUST YOUR HEALTH CARE TO THESE FOOLS you are witnessing at their "very best" in the AIG so called crisis?
Will you let them continue to lie about man made global warming to pass the largest money grab scheme we have ever seen with a Cap and Trade statute? The C&P monster will hit everyone smack in the wallet through huge increases in utility and energy costs. Businesses will again come under attack for "destroying" the planet thus giving an excuse for more confiscatory action against them and ultimately a takeover. Technology, once the engine of progress and a sense of pride in the USA will be used against the citizenry. The early steps in that direction were contained in the so called stimulus bill with the electronic medical records "plan". Sounds innocent enough, right? Makes medical delivery more efficient, etc. If it were in the hands of the providers and patients I would agree. But massive medical information on all of us in the hands of government is a prescription for disaster. Decisions on delivery systems can now be made in Washington based on "numbers".
You are hearing more talk on the energy side about the "smart grid". Sounds great! Efficient management of energy, right? Wrong! The ultimate goal is to extend the intelligent system down to the consumer level where control of every aspect of your energy consumption will be in the hands of government. The result will be to create financial penalties for "over use" of energy or out and out rationing for the greater good of the planet.

So go ahead, revel in the new direction. Hope and change! Appearances on Jay Leno! Teleprompter speeches right out of Orwell's 1984 . Oh, sigh, isn't he wonderful ...so articulate.

Who is John Galt?
