sprinter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There have been some interesting stories appearing lately. Things are not looking good unless you're a left wing communist. Old Henry Kissinger made the news: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=85442 "The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously," Kissinger responded. "You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can't really say there is one problem, that it's the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It's a great opportunity, it isn't just a crisis." Kissinger was the guy that said during the Bilderberger Conference, in 1991 "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." And "NAFTA is a major stepping stone to the New World Order." And of course no socialists/communists agenda can procede when people can own guns. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=85507 A perfect storm is developing for Second Amendment opponents that could allow President-elect Barack Obama's choice for attorney general – Eric Holder – to "ban guns at will" despite the 2008 affirmation from the U.S. Supreme Court that U.S. citizens have a right to bear arms. The situation was described with alarm by Alan Korwin, author of Gun Laws of America, in a recent commentary. He cited Holder's known support for gun bans – the former Clinton administration official endorsed the District of Columbia's complete ban on functional guns in residents' homes before it was overturned by the Supreme Court. And Korwin pointed to overwhelming Democratic majorities in Congress as well as Obama's known support for gun restrictions and his presence in the Oval Office. And then the new Chief of Staff, Emanuel puts in his two cents worth. Sounds like a conspiracy is building against the American Citizens and our Republic. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=85438 Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, told business leaders assembled by the Wall Street Journal in November that the economic crisis facing the country is "an opportunity to do things you could not do before." That has to be one of the most chilling statements I have ever heard uttered by an American political official in my lifetime. It ranks right up there with the transparent arrogance of Clinton administration hotshot Paul Begala's July 1998 explanation of the use of executive orders by the president to go over the heads of Congress: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." But there was even more to this quote from Emanuel. He followed up that scary and yet candid statement with this: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." Every so often, an insider among the power brokers in our establishment elite let's slip an extremely telling remark. I suspect Emanuel meant exactly what he said – though he probably wishes he could take it back. Better get the vasoline ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark B. Morrow Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Give it a rest. Bush has treated this country like a rental car smashed into the wall at the return counter just in time to hand the keys over to Obama. Bush had complete control over the U.S. government for 6 of the last 8 years and he has left us with massive debt and two wars. He and his band of crooks and incompetants have trashed the Constitution and trampled our liberties. He will go down in history as the worst President of all time.

Ralph Greene Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I don't buy all that brain wahed nonsense. Being retired, I have the time to actually listen to what Obama says, not what some of you say he says. There is a big diffeence. You guys must be quoting some communist newspapers. or Fox owned newspapers. I'm an old republican, and I am very optimistic about this coming administration. So far, they are taking suprisingly centrist positions. In all my years of being part of the political process, I have never seen a new administration try as hard to "reach across the isle" and embrace some republican ideas as this new Obama administration. Give him a break. He's not even in office yet, and you are already critizing him. It's true, he is generally more liberal than I am. But so what, it's their turn to run the country. You think he can do worse, or hurt our standing around the world any worse? And....I'm all for taking those fake assult rifles out of your hands. Too many of them wind up being converted back to automatic, and hunters sure don't need them. And....Do you really think an armed bunch of citizens can protect the US from a foreign assult? About all our citizen guns do is shoot a few armed home invaders, shoot a few convenience store robbers, and kill a whole bunch of careless citizens who don't know how to use a firearm properly. I think guy laws should be tougher, with proof of knowledge you know how to use them. And sure I know the argument about criminals can get them easy. I also know in my neighborhood, you just can't allow some nervous neighbor to fire his 357 down the street at some imagined intruder....with the bullet going thru about 3 houses. BTW....I own a shotgun, and know how to use it. Edited January 9, 2009 by Ralph Greene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think laws of ownership were based on "need". Actually.....The constitution is not all that clear. To the NRA it is clear, but to most constititional scholars, it is not that clear. Does the idea of keeping a well armed militia in colonial times, mean anyone can own a gun in an urban environment in 2009? Common sense tells me it's not that clear that gun ownership is a right in 2009. I'm not interested in repealing gun laws, it's too much embedded in our culture. But I'm not so sure the constitution covers current situation. I can see how , very generally, people in rural areas might have a different view of this issue. I can see how a rancher in Wyoming or Montana might have a very different view of this issue, VS an urban city dweller like me. I believe the Supreme court, so as not to err, will come in on the side of gun owners....rightfully so I think. But over time, the courts will not support all the NRA positions. I think common sense is where the Obama team will stand. Edited January 9, 2009 by Ralph Greene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think common sense is where the Obama team will stand. Let me be clear that I am not an NRA member, however I think there is much to be considered here. Let's make a reasonable assumption: In a urban setting, criminals are more numerous and proximate. Agreed? Given that, why would you prevent a law-abiding urban citizen from having a primary tool of defense (along with door locks and a telephone) against an invader? Until there is a cop posted on every doorstep or the 911 response time is down to zero, I'd rather the citizenry have their rights (guaranteed) to keep a gun. What form that gun takes, is the choice (and responsibility) of the gun owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem12 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 From: The Patriot THE FOUNDATION "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." --John Adams PATRIOT PERSPECTIVE 2008 in review: Top questions Barack Obama did not answer By Mark Alexander Perhaps you've noticed an abundance of "Top Ten" lists in recent weeks. As usual, the mainstream media has churned out a variety of year-in-review pieces of late. Two events vied for top billing on all those lists -- the financial meltdown and the presidential election. At present, it isn't clear which of those debacles presents the greater threat to our nation. The factors leading up to the economic collapse in the last two quarters are clear (see Economics 101 at http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1338 ). What is not clear, however, is whether we can limit the damage to a mere recession. On the other hand, we have learned that Barack Hussein Obama (as he prefers to be named for his oath of office) is a charismatic master of deception and deflection. What we haven't learned, therefore, are the answers to a plethora of questions about his citizenship, his mentors, his faith, his worldview, and his tragic childhood -- a childhood which gave rise to the pathological narcissism that launched his political career and guides him to this day. Not that many of those questions weren't asked. Plenty of them were posed in our profiles of Obama ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1327 ) but were met with obfuscation, prevarication and equivocation. So, who is this guy? In one sense he answered that question in his political autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope": "I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views." That explains who he is in the glassy eyes of his messianic following, but who is he really? Who is Barack Hussein Obama, the president-elect of the United States of America? In pursuit of an answer, I have compiled a list of some important questions directed at BHO that he did not answer in 2008. Where to start ... how about the beginning: Are you a natural-born citizen, as constitutionally prescribed in Article II, Section 1 and Amendment XX, Section 3, for the office of president? When the question of citizenship came up a year ago, I presumed that this issue was a "straw man" -- that your strategy was to send some adversaries on a rabbit trail to nowhere, only to release your official birth certificate just prior to the election. But you didn't do that. I believe that you were born in Honolulu, but I have been to the hospital where you were, ostensibly, born, and they could not produce any birth records or tell me who the attending OB might have been. Of course, 1961 is many years past. Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle has sealed your on-file birth records, making them unavailable for verification. You refuse to request that the documents in question be made available for examination by dispassionate analysts. To obtain a driver's license, one has to provide some proof of citizenship -- so why did you not comply as a presidential candidate? Surely you can influence the state of Hawaii to release your original birth certificate for public inspection, so this lingering question can be put to rest before your inauguration. We know that you hold constitutional rule of law in contempt, but in the unlikely event that it is revealed sometime after your inauguration that you are not a natural-born citizen, we would be faced with a serious constitutional crisis. When do you plan to release your original birth certificate? Moving on, given your strange childhood and broken family ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1335 ) (similar to that of Bill Clinton, the last unmitigated narcissist to occupy the White House), you indicated that your primary childhood mentor was a communist, Frank Marshall Davis. How did his mentorship shape your understanding of the role of government and economics ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1336 )? You claim that you never heard any of the anti-American and black-supremacist rants of your mentoring pastor, Jeremiah Wright ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1337 ). However, you spent 20 years in Wright's church, he officiated at your marriage and the baptism of your children, and you identified him as a "father" figure. Is it possible that you have been so steeped in his racist rhetoric and hatred for America that you failed to recognize it for what it was?

mikem12 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You claim that terrorist William Ayers ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1328 ) was "just a guy in my neighborhood," and that you were "just eight years old when he was a terrorist." However, you were 34 when Ayers used his radical celebrity to launch your political career from his living room. You were 40 when this unrepentant terrorist was featured in a New York Times article (on the morning of September 11, 2001) and quoted in the opening paragraph proclaiming, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Ayers added, "America makes me want to puke." You were working on your second major "philanthropic" project with Ayers at that time, and when interviewed for your first Senate run, you claimed that your primary qualification for public office was your role with the ultra-Leftist Annenberg Foundation -- an appointment that you received from Ayers. So, what is the real nature of your relationship with Ayers? Regarding your ties to the Socialist New Party, the ACORN crowd, Rod Blagojevich, Tony Rezko, Saul Alinsky, Father Michael Pfleger, Khalid al-Mansour, Kwame Kilpatrick, Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi, Raila Odinga and other haters, hard Leftists and convicted felons, are we to assume these were just "guys in your neighborhood"? If you were a Civil Service Employee, could you pass a background check to receive a basic "Secret" clearance? If not, why should the American people trust you as the steward of their security? (OK, I know the answer. "No.") When you turned 18 years of age, did you register with the Selective Service System as required by law? Regarding your "realtor" friend Rezko, how do the unusual circumstances surrounding the purchase of your Chicago mansion differ from the purchase made by former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) of his California house -- a purchase that ended with his arrest and conviction? George Bernard Shaw once wrote, "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." All committed Socialists understand this principle. In 100 words or less, can you compare and contrast Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations with Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto? In 50 words or less, can you describe any significant difference between International Communism and National Socialism? Whom do you hold accountable for the economic fiasco, and what is your plan to ensure it doesn't recur? What is your plan to halt the imminent inflation resulting from the Fed's printing of money to fund TARP and all the additional handouts? Why do you think government can provide better and more efficient health care than the private sector? Keep in mind, yours is the same party that was regulating the housing market when it became the first economic domino to fall. Can you explain how excessively taxing large corporations (which, in turn, pass these "fees" on to the consumer) provides economic "stimulus," or how this makes lower- and middle-income Americans wealthier? The motto of your campaign was "change," but you have never specified what that change means -- change from what to what? Based on the goals you have spoken about, it appears that you (and your handlers) would like to change our country from a democratic republic to a socialist/Marxist one. Would you please disabuse me of this notion? You campaigned about needing "new blood" in Washington. Given this, how do you explain your selection of so many people from the Clinton and Carter administrations? Our national debt stands at $10 trillion, and rises at a rate of roughly $75 million per hour each day. Do you see any problem with such large numbers, and if so, do you have a plan to fix it? What is your plan to rein in congressional spending? Define "rich." As in "taxing the rich." The amount appears to have varied depending upon which speech you and Joe Biden made during the campaign. $250,000? $200,000? $150,000? None of these pre-income tax amounts would qualify anyone as being rich, and yet, you voted to increase taxes on the "rich" at the $40,000 level. During Bill Clinton's administration, he raised taxes and government revenue collections decreased. George W. Bush reduced taxes and revenue collections increased. Why? What yardstick will you use to determine when our troops should return home from OIF and/or OEF? How will you measure success? Given that the surge strategy in Iraq has, without question, worked, why is it that you cannot simply admit you were wrong? What is it about leaders of states who sponsor terrorism and harbor terrorists that makes you believe peace is negotiable with them? What makes you think that Iran, Syria and terrorist entities such as Hamas, Fatah and Hezbollah will adhere to anything they might "agree" to in a signed document? What is your position on amnesty for illegal immigrants? What is your vision for immigration reform, generally? Vice president-elect Joe Biden said, "Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. ... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he's gonna need help. ... He's gonna need you ... to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." What in heaven's name was he ranting about? In regard to your so-called "National Service Plan" you stated, "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as the military]." That sounds like a force of like-minded socialists, young pioneers, brown shirts, Obama youth, ready to trade brooms for guns. What were you talking about? On the subject of guns, you said of the Second Amendment (the palladium of all other rights), "I believe in the Second Amendment. Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven't indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word." However, your nominee for attorney general, Eric Holder, reaffirmed in the recent Heller case his long-held position that the Second Amendment confers no rights of individual gun possession by private citizens. Can we still take you at your word? What is your position on the Enumerated Powers Act (H.R. 1359), which would require all legislation introduced in Congress to "contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority" empowering Congress to enact it? And on the subject of constitutional authority, on 20 January, you will be taking this constitutionally prescribed oath: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Exactly what Constitution are you swearing to "preserve, protect and defend" -- that which was written by our forefathers and defended by the blood of Patriots for generations since, or its vestigial remains, the so-called "Living Constitution" ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1325 ) as amended by Leftist judicial diktat? After all, you said you would nominate Supreme Court Justices who met your ideological test rather than those who were impartial jurists. If the latter, should anyone take your role as commander in chief seriously? And a final question: At a Florida rally four days before the presidential election, you asserted: "[W]e want to do this, change our tax code (a.k.a. 'redistribute the wealth'). ... John McCain [calls] this socialistic. You know I, I, I don't know when, when, uh, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness." For the record, when you were an adolescent (by your own account, smoking dope and snorting coke) John McCain was a POW in Hanoi. Despite being a Naval Academy graduate and the son of a high-ranking admiral, McCain had requested combat duty and was assigned to the USS Forrestal. He was on the flight deck of the Forrestal during the inferno that killed 134 of his fellow sailors. He was flying his 23rd mission as part of Operation Rolling Thunder over Vietnam when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile over Hanoi. He was subjected to more than five years of horrific torture by the Communist NVA, including two years of solitary confinement. You claim that John McCain has made "a virtue out of selfishness." When will you issue a public apology for that odious remark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding your "realtor" friend Rezko, how do the unusual circumstances surrounding the purchase of your Chicago mansion differ from the purchase made by former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) of his California house -- a purchase that ended with his arrest and conviction? George Bernard Shaw once wrote, "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." All committed Socialists understand this principle. In 100 words or less, can you compare and contrast Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations with Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto? In 50 words or less, can you describe any significant difference between International Communism and National Socialism? Whom do you hold accountable for the economic fiasco, and what is your plan to ensure it doesn't recur? What is your plan to halt the imminent inflation resulting from the Fed's printing of money to fund TARP and all the additional handouts? Why do you think government can provide better and more efficient health care than the private sector? Keep in mind, yours is the same party that was regulating the housing market when it became the first economic domino to fall. Can you explain how excessively taxing large corporations (which, in turn, pass these "fees" on to the consumer) provides economic "stimulus," or how this makes lower- and middle-income Americans wealthier? The motto of your campaign was "change," but you have never specified what that change means -- change from what to what? Based on the goals you have spoken about, it appears that you (and your handlers) would like to change our country from a democratic republic to a socialist/Marxist one. Would you please disabuse me of this notion? You campaigned about needing "new blood" in Washington. Given this, how do you explain your selection of so many people from the Clinton and Carter administrations? Our national debt stands at $10 trillion, and rises at a rate of roughly $75 million per hour each day. Do you see any problem with such large numbers, and if so, do you have a plan to fix it? What is your plan to rein in congressional spending? Define "rich." As in "taxing the rich." The amount appears to have varied depending upon which speech you and Joe Biden made during the campaign. $250,000? $200,000? $150,000? None of these pre-income tax amounts would qualify anyone as being rich, and yet, you voted to increase taxes on the "rich" at the $40,000 level. During Bill Clinton's administration, he raised taxes and government revenue collections decreased. George W. Bush reduced taxes and revenue collections increased. Why? What yardstick will you use to determine when our troops should return home from OIF and/or OEF? How will you measure success? Given that the surge strategy in Iraq has, without question, worked, why is it that you cannot simply admit you were wrong? What is it about leaders of states who sponsor terrorism and harbor terrorists that makes you believe peace is negotiable with them? What makes you think that Iran, Syria and terrorist entities such as Hamas, Fatah and Hezbollah will adhere to anything they might "agree" to in a signed document? What is your position on amnesty for illegal immigrants? What is your vision for immigration reform, generally? Vice president-elect Joe Biden said, "Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. ... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he's gonna need help. ... He's gonna need you ... to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." What in heaven's name was he ranting about? In regard to your so-called "National Service Plan" you stated, "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as the military]." That sounds like a force of like-minded socialists, young pioneers, brown shirts, Obama youth, ready to trade brooms for guns. What were you talking about? On the subject of guns, you said of the Second Amendment (the palladium of all other rights), "I believe in the Second Amendment. Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven't indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word." However, your nominee for attorney general, Eric Holder, reaffirmed in the recent Heller case his long-held position that the Second Amendment confers no rights of individual gun possession by private citizens. Can we still take you at your word? What is your position on the Enumerated Powers Act (H.R. 1359), which would require all legislation introduced in Congress to "contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority" empowering Congress to enact it? And on the subject of constitutional authority, on 20 January, you will be taking this constitutionally prescribed oath: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Exactly what Constitution are you swearing to "preserve, protect and defend" -- that which was written by our forefathers and defended by the blood of Patriots for generations since, or its vestigial remains, the so-called "Living Constitution" ( http://link.patriotpost.us?136-262-262-136567-1325 ) as amended by Leftist judicial diktat? After all, you said you would nominate Supreme Court Justices who met your ideological test rather than those who were impartial jurists. If the latter, should anyone take your role as commander in chief seriously? And a final question: At a Florida rally four days before the presidential election, you asserted: "[W]e want to do this, change our tax code (a.k.a. 'redistribute the wealth'). ... John McCain [calls] this socialistic. You know I, I, I don't know when, when, uh, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness." For the record, when you were an adolescent (by your own account, smoking dope and snorting coke) John McCain was a POW in Hanoi. Despite being a Naval Academy graduate and the son of a high-ranking admiral, McCain had requested combat duty and was assigned to the USS Forrestal. He was on the flight deck of the Forrestal during the inferno that killed 134 of his fellow sailors. He was flying his 23rd mission as part of Operation Rolling Thunder over Vietnam when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile over Hanoi. He was subjected to more than five years of horrific torture by the Communist NVA, including two years of solitary confinement. You claim that John McCain has made "a virtue out of selfishness." When will you issue a public apology for that odious remark? Thank you. These questions are the ones that needed asking during the campaign while the socialist media was giving him a pass.

napfirst Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I believe only in enough laws to make society work I'm confused, earlier you seem to be ok with obama's stand on gun control.... [b]FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. Obama responded, "No, my writing wasn't on that particular questionnaire. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns."[/b] and in fiscal responsibility So how do you align this with obama's trillion dollar stimulus package...? I also have no use for the extreme religious right, a bunch about as dangerous to us as foreign terroists Name me 1 extreme religious right person that has killed >3000 Americans...and don't tell me about Mcveigh, he was not from the religious right.... start listening to what he is currently saying, and stop rehashing old stuff from the election. So tell me did you like what he said during the election or what he is saying now....why is it different and will it change again once he moves into the White House?
