My information came from the Glenn Beck Show on FOX Cable News.

I verified the information and you can read the entire news report here.
The usurper Obama is against off shore drilling for America that would benefit Americans.

Obama signed an executive order to loan $2 Billion of our taxpayer’s dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company.

This oil company is the eighth largest company in the world. This oil company is to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil!

The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China.

The Chinese government is already under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is in the hundreds of millions of barrels of oil.

The USA has absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever!

The largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company who will benefit most from this is American Billionaire George Soros.

 He was and is the one who continues to be the Socialist Muslim Obama most generous financial supporter. Not one word of this anti-American transaction was on any of the other news media liberal networks.

What will the current lap-puppets of this Congress do to stop the fraud sitting in the Oval Office?

This Congress will do absolutely nothing. None of the 535 in Congress has shown the American courage and strength of moral character to go after this Socialist and Muslim whose agenda is to destroy America has we know it.

What can you do about it today? Write, fax, and call all of your Senators and Representatives and tell them you know about the traitorous actions of the usurper Obama.

Tell them to make a choice today, tell them to remove him from the White House for the sake of our Republic.

Tell them that Obama and all his co-conspirators fate is to face in a Court of Law criminal and civil charge for crimes against the USA and the American people.

Of course, if you are speaking to one of his co-conspirators, just for the record, tell them you are aware of their complicity in the Obama treason against America.

Attention America!

We need to wake Up the Potus is selling us out!

You need to read the following and then write to your Representatives in Congress, phone them, fax them and demand that they act now to impeach the Potus.

Here is the latest along with a link to the facts.

Offshore Drilling in Brazil

Today on a segment of the “Glen Beck Show” on FOX (Fox Cable News) was
the following:

“Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars (YOUR MONEY), to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil!

The OIL that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA!

Now here’s the real clincher…the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is “hundreds of millions of barrels of oil”.

We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever!

Wait, it gets more interesting.

Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this?

It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was one of President Obama’s most generous financial supporters during his campaign.

If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am.

Not a word of this transaction was broadcast on any of the other news networks!

Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is going. Also, let all of your Government representatives know how you feel about this.

Below is the Wall street Journal article to confirm this:

“Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction.  We didn’t pass it to our children through our blood stream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.”  

(President Ronald Reagan)

May God bless and keep all of our Armed Forces personnel in his care.  May he preserve and protect those who are committed through their bravery, and courage to defend this nation, its values, principles, freedom, liberty and its people.

Amid buzz that President Obama may be seeking to parole or “defer action” on millions of illegal aliens in the U.S., eight Republican senators are warning the president not to advance any such plan.

“There’s a lot we can agree on when it comes to dealing with the immigration problems in the United States, but this appears to be amnesty in disguise, and is simply an attempt to circumvent Congress,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement.

Grassley and Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., signed a letter to the president dated June 21.

“We understand that there’s a push for your administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States,” they wrote in their letter.

“We understand that the administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come.”

“Deferred action” is granted by the Department of Homeland Security. It’s a short-term suspension of deportation hearings for illegal aliens.

With “deferred action,” illegals are often allowed to apply for employment authorization cards.

The lawmakers noted that “deferred action” and parole are discretionary actions reserved for “individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances.”

“Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a ‘case-by-case’ basis,” they wrote.

Eight senators write letter to President Obama, urging him to abandon any plans for “deferred action.”

The senators agreed that the nation’s immigration laws “need to be fixed,” but they added, “While deferred action and parole are executive branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.”

Urging Obama for assurance that he has no plans to use either authority, the senators requested that he clarify the administration’s intentions immediately.

“The administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for the illegal population,” they wrote.

“Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books.”

As WND reported, former Obama adviser and SEIU executive vice president Eliseo Medina explained that granting citizenship to millions of illegal aliens would expand the “progressive” electorate and help ensure a “progressive” governing coalition for the long term.

“We reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters,” Medina said during his speech at a June 2009 Washington conference for the liberal America’s Future Now!

Medina said that during the presidential election in November 2008, Latinos and immigrants “voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up.”

“Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three? Can you imagine 8 million new voters who care about our issues and will be voting?

We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.”

In a recent column, Pat Buchanan argued the wave of illegal aliens has been changing the nation’s political climate.

“The correlation seems absolute,” he wrote. “The more immigrants who come in and become citizens, the more Democratic the country becomes.”

According to a Center for Immigration Studies report, “Immigration, Political Realignment and the Demise of Republican Political Prospects,” of recent immigrants who became citizens by 2008, by a margin of 55-31 they identified as Democrats. Among immigrants who had not yet become citizens, 70 percent identified as Democrats and 15 percent as Republicans.

Buchanan wrote, “The sooner Democrats get them naturalized, registered and voting, the sooner the bell tolls for the Grand Old Party.”

WND also reported when talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh suggested the existence of U.S. elections is now threatened by a move he expects Obama to pursue: mass amnesty for illegal aliens.

“The next big push will be amnesty for … millions of illegal immigrants who are here,” he predicted on a March radio program.

“Obama’s going to need their votes in 2012,” he said. “The Democrats are going to need their votes in every election from now on – if we have elections, and I’m not joking.”

Limbaugh explained what he believes Obama’s next major move will be: padding voter rolls.

“The next thing that’s going to happen is a major push for comprehensive immigration reform. It will be called amnesty,” said Limbaugh. “None of this should have been a mystery to anybody.

“He will divide this country even further. We can’t stop it. We deal with a president who doesn’t care how many votes he loses in November.”

So, the liberal world is crumbling and Obamaville is falling apart. We now have a Gulf of Mexico which seems to have cracked open and is spewing oil at a rate which is incomprehensible. Is this opening the door for a total Congressional take over?

Here is my fear.

In November, the Tea Party and conservatives across the land vote large numbers of criminals and crooks out of office.

 Wonderful!

However, what will these new amateurs to Capitol Hill really be able to accomplish before the presidential elections?

Do you really think they will stop the oil gusher, reverse the crashing economy, and bring jobs back to America and squash Iran while ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?

It isn’t going to happen. Obama and the remnant of the Marxist left will prevent these new representatives and senators from accomplishing anything.

If the new members call for investigations of Barney “butt buddy” Franks or Chucky Chucky Schumer, they will be blasted for being right wing fanatics who are only out to destroy members of Congress who are fighting for the little guy.

If you think the new elected officials will be able to charge Obama for treason, you are living in a dream world.

Pressing for Obama to be investigated and charged will lead to riots in the streets and the Balkanization of America.

So, what are we to do?

2Ch 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

By Paul Vallely MG,

Each day as I watch the worldwide news reports on recent happenings, I begin to wonder who our friends in the world are. Yes, who are the friends of the United States?

I certainly know who the enemies are! It appears that this administration continues to cast aside any friends and our enemies seem to be growing. How many of you see this happening and are as concerned about this as I am?

Any special relationships garnered since World War II appear to have disappeared or are certainly in decline.

Maybe many of our old allies have lost confidence in us as a leader in the world. The international chessboard is changing and not changing for the good of America.

We cannot permit the current leaders in the White House and Halls of Congress to continue in their efforts to lead us down the road of Progressive Socialism and the destruction of America.

We cannot continue to allow our national prestige and honor to be decimated at home or abroad.

The chessboard must be reset, and reset now, before chaos and any irreparable damage takes place.

The more damage incurred by this nation only means that more pain will occur to the country and its people in order to resurrect the United States. Please do not take my word for it.

Just look around and commit yourself to being a big and major part of resetting the chessboard.

The current battle that Constitutionalists and Americans face is the incompetence, deceit, fraud, corruption, dishonesty and violation of the US Constitution and oaths of office of certain and well identified elected and appointed officials.

To our friends (whomever they may be now), this relates to our national character, alliances, security, economies, and true and viable friendships.

The Obama administration has been peculiarly inept at handling allies and enemies, to the point that it has jeopardized some of our most important relationships. Can anyone tell me when our last diplomatic victory occurred?

No less dismaying is Mr. Obama’s attitude to friends of the USA. A current example of this is to think that leaving the Israelis open to recent diplomatic attacks regarding the Flotilla blockades into Gaza will buy good will in a Middle East that gets its opinions from Al Jazeera and a venomous media that routinely prints outrageous lies and hate literature that echoes Nazi Germany.

The still greater folly is to think that distancing ourselves from the Israelis will buy us leverage with them.

When did the Israelis withdraw from Gaza? When they had a president in the White House upon whom they knew they could count.

If, as is the case now, Israel is alone and desperate, is it more or less likely to conclude it has no choice but to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities?

Turkey, an old ally, has recently changed the current chessboard by turning away from its secular past and is cozying up with Iran and was responsible for encouraging and supporting the flotilla against the Israeli naval blockade.

The outrageous statements of the Turkish government denouncing Israel for “inhumane state terrorism” toward the Gaza flotilla reflect a broader pattern, going back a number of years.

Turkey’s government has evolved backward into one that is very different from that of 20 or 30 years ago.

A combination of Islamist rule, resentment at exclusion from Europe, and a neo-Ottoman ideology that envisions Turkey as a great power in the Middle East have made Turkey a state that is often plainly hostile not only to Israel but to the role of America in the middle east and the world as a whole.

China’s rejection last week of an American request for a visit by Secretary Robert Gates as he travels to a conference in Singapore, is part of a larger picture.

The studied unwillingness of the Chinese even to acknowledge that the North Koreans launched an unprovoked attack on a South Korean naval vessel tells us that they do not think they have to take American anger about anything seriously.

Russia is not our friend and never has been. Russia does what it wants to do and if it can gain any edge over America, it will.

As for North Korea and Iran, the National Security Strategy threatens them with rhetoric…sanctions…isolation.

North Korea is not already isolated? And Iran is isolated when it has the governments of Turkey and Brazil cozying up to it?

What precisely have we gained from reaching out to the Syrian government, whose leaders pocketed our restoration of ambassadorial relations, and in return strengthened their support to Hezbollah by providing new SCUD missiles to them in Southern Lebanon so that any Israeli city can be hit?

The administration cannot even bring itself to characterize accurately the enemies that it must admit we have.

The National Security Strategy declares that we are at war with “Al Qaeda and its affiliates.”

Islamist extremists? Jihadist? Senior officials have repeatedly insisted that they know that radical Islamism runs counter to the authoritative teachings of an altogether peace-loving religion – when the truth is that all religions, including Islam, have within them entirely authentic, deeply rooted, and often sophisticated fanatical streams.

This refusal to acknowledge the creed of our enemies is further evidence of a lack of strategic seriousness.

Demand Resignation of derelict and incompetent officials by the people of this country is now required.

The Declaration of Independence states:

“To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.”

The oath of office is simple and reads:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

Sadly, we have seen them violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest bidder.

The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the Blessings of Liberty.

The balance of authority and individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for check and balances.

Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address:

“Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.”

Being a representative republic, not a democracy, “rising up” means something other than revolution by means of arms.

The people must “rise up” from the grass roots across this great country as we think of the greater good of this and future generations.

We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power…resignation, natural death, elections, and impeachment.

“We the People” have had enough. The Obama Administration and identifiable Members of Congress are now on a death march and are bankrupting and weakening the country.

We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office.

“We, the People” cannot wait for and solely rely on the next round of elections in November of this year. It is now and each day that these public servants must put the citizen’s interests above self-interest by resigning immediately.

Therefore the “people” must decide. A civil uprising is brewing. We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetero (AKA President Barack Hussein Obama)…based on Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty, and Violation of the US Oath of Office and the Constitution.

Today is Election Day in 11 states, including my beleaguered liberal-infested state of California. 

One thing I’ve noticed in the run-up to the primaries is the tired notion of electoral pragmatism, especially in the California Governor and Senate races. 

While many people will likely vote their conscience, other Republicans believe they can game the system, voting for the “one who can beat Jerry Brown” or “the one who can beat Barbara Boxer.”   

These pragmatic primary voters willfully set aside their conservative principles to vote for the moderate McCainzian candidate…in the primary!!  While I can hold my nose with the best of them come Election Day in November, I do not understand why Republicans effectively eat their young every two years by selecting the “Liberal Light Rino” to run against a “Hard Core Liberal.”  Didn’t 2008 prove that strategery wrong?

These pragmatists are worse than the Undecided’s in my book because, unlike fence-sitting Undecided’s, they actually have principles which they chose to ignore.  The mantra is “we got to win at all costs.” 

The problem with that philosophy is that we keep losing while leaving our core conservative candidates on the bench. 

These McCainzians are afraid to use the silver bullet of the ballot to terminate the RINO disease. 

Look where it’s gotten us in California:  a once-mighty state run into the ground by the Democrat party.  Pretty soon the Golden State will be deemed too big to fail and will become the Obama Administration’s latest bail-out.

Time for Conservatives to man up.  The Primary is no time for gutless pragmatism.  Liberals know that and consistently nominate the most left leaning candidate for November. 

Conservatives should take a page from the liberals’ electioneering handbook.  

True conservative candidates like John Eastman and Chuck DeVore in California are firebrands who can win in November if only

We the People will put them there. 

And if we do that, eventually a conservative worthy of Reagan’s memory will run for Governor….some day.

With the Healthcare Revival Summit just hours away, I have a queasy feeling that the Republican strategy might echo felon Rodney King’s ironic quip:  “Can’t we all just get along?” 

Indeed, five recently paved the way for the Jobs Bill, including Massachusetts’ darling Scott Brown, and Republican leaders are meeting with President Obama in an obviously-stacked summit on healthcare. 

Patton once said, “America loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser.”  Right now, Republicans, not Democrats, are positioned to be the winners on healthcare, jobs bills, cap-and-trade and who knows what tomorrow’s jam session with Emmanuel might bring.  But, it will take a team effort. 

Gridlock is liberty’s friend with a far leftwing ideologue in the White House.  Instead of “can’t we all just get along?” the Republican motto should be “Nuts!” – adopting General McAuliffe’s reply to the Nazi demand for American surrender at the Battle of the Bulge.  

If the Republicans had any moxy, they should send in a summit team of one, namely Congressman Joe Wilson to reiterate his famous words “You lie!” or maybe truck up a large Sarah Palin papier Mache hand with the words “Talk to this” scrawled across it.

The worse irony is that, for the past year, an undersized, outgunned, written-off-as-dead GOP minority has shown uncharacteristic pluckiness and nerve, fought tenaciously, and have thwarted the Democrat supermajority, with the result being a sweeping Democrat crash-and-burn, and with the Anointed One, Obama himself, suffering devastating drops in approval ratings.

Is the healthcare summit the GOP’s effort to grasp defeat from the jaws of a spectacularly achieved victory?  I hope not.

I cringe as GOP leaders begin their march to the photo op at the White House to once again try to persuade the MSM that Republicans aren’t the obstructionist Party-of-No.  No filibustering.  No attempts to put in bill-killing language. 

Nope.  Have these brave defenders of liberty decided that Obamacare is a fait accompli (French socialist-speak for “done deal”)? 

I wonder if Republicans hope to look kinder and gentler to America come November 2010.  Instead they risk looking weak and disorganized.

Republicans once claimed to stand for certain principles, among them individual rights, small restricted government, and sanctity of life.  Now it too often it appears they stand for “getting along” with Democrats when the media heat is turned on. 

Message to Michael Steele: Dump the Wolfgang Puck catering, roll up your sleeves and stop being intimidated and outmuscle.

At least when voters elect a liberal to office, they can be sure of what they’re getting.  I rarely feel the same thing about Republicans anymore.  I hope this summit proves me wrong.

Yes, it’s ‘that’ time again! Every ten years, our privacy is invaded by demanding that we participate in the U.S. Census. Although the forms are invasive and ridiculous, per the constitution, the ONLY required question is “How many persons reside in your home?” (the rest is optional, whether to provide a response…or not.)

As we’re in a financial crisis that rivals that during the Second World War, unemployment off the charts and the only industry truly growing being the Government (which WE pay for) I’d like to know who authorized $132 million in spending for an insane census media campaign that translates to 28 languages?

Why are they spending $2.5 million for a single ad that will play once during Superbowl Sunday? have they lost their minds?

And how much was Ed Begley Jr paid for participating in the ad? how much of the budget did his ’salary’ eat up?

Although only 67 % participated in the 2000 Survey, and Americans can be fined up to $5,000 for ignoring the request, no one has been held accountable, thus far, for avoiding the forms/questions.

It seems that if we’re required to comply with the Census of 2010, perhaps first they should require our ‘President’ to provide his own papers first?

As our ‘Commander-in-Chief,’ leadership by example is important and as such, I’d like to see the Obama’s answer a few questions.

President Obama, who was probably excited about doing the State of the Union Address right up to the point that Scott Brown won the election in MA.

Even though it would appear the possibility of Healthcare bill passing is small. He still managed to mention Healthcare in one form or another 10 times. He clearly does not understand the message the people sent loud and very clear in the NJ, VA, and MA elections that the majority of the Obama’s plans are not what the people want.

While we all agree the Healthcare system is in need of fixes, we also know it is the best in the world. In addition, most people do not want the Government to be involved in running the Healthcare industry.

Even the Climate bill (Cap and Trade) which brought a laugh from the members of Congress after Obama mentioned the information debunking it. VP Biden who seemed very pleased about the false and manipulated data that Cap and Trade is based on kept a huge smile on his face for a longer than a normal amount of time.

Obama stressed fiscal restraint in the form of a partial freezing on discretional spending, (whatever that means) which is downright hypocritical. Since last week, the Democrats raised the debt ceiling by another $1.9 trillion dollar.

Obama has also spent more money than any other President in the history of the US has in one year.

Obama stressed that the Republicans should work together with the Democrats and that by not getting involved it is not Leadership on the part of the Republicans.

He fails to recognize that the Republicans have been literally locked out of the room on Healthcare negotiations and since the Democrats had a super majority in the Senate, they took advantage it by not involving the Republicans in on the process.

If you would like to see what the Republicans have proposed that the Democrats has been ignored in Congress go to www.solutions.gop.gov.

Regarding the Supreme Court Ruling for businesses donating to Campaigns he made another misdirected statement of the truth saying that foreign money can be donated to US campaigns.

This is not true. Foreign corporations cannot, however, create independent ads to assist a campaign, donate money, give goods or anything else to a candidate’s campaign.

He showed a complete lack of knowledge and disrespected the Supreme Court Justices sitting in the audience.

Apparently, Obama did get a small bit of the message that NJ, VA and MA sent since he did speak of the unemployment issue but there was no real substance to what he said that in the near term future would solve this problem. He wants an employment bill on his desk asap.

It has now become the Crisis de jour. It is hard to get behind these programs without details and committing $1.5 billion dollars to fix the problem. The first Stimulus Bill failed in part because there were no details, checks or oversight in it, and it appears that Obama wants to do it again.

He needed to talk about helping entrepreneurs to create new businesses that will hire employees that will spend money, pay taxes and spur the economy. He also failed to talk about tax breaks to help business stay in business and keep people employed.

There was no mention of a fix to the housing market and the large amounts of people that have lost their homes or are in the process of losing their homes. Jobs, assisting small businesses to stay in business and home retention are the top three issues of the day.

Since Healthcare and Cap and Trade have been the focus of this administration instead of the real world US issues, many people were not satisfied with Obama’s empty promises.

He announces that gays in the Military were OK went over like a ton of brick with the military personnel that were in attendance. They did not clap, showed no emotion, except for a slight show of disgust.

In addition, Obama did not talk about Gitmo, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are extremely important issues today.

The State of the Union was lacking in facts, substance and failed to address most of the very important issues to the Citizens of the US care about. The Democrat’s are missing the point that the Citizens of the US have stressed repeatedly.

We want less government and lower taxes along with a better education system that will teach our kids, so they can get good jobs and make the US competitive in the world market.

We also want our Country protected from foreign enemies along with funding or the repair or replacement of our deteriorating infrastructure of roads and bridges. In addition, we want the US Constitution and the Rule of law followed.

No more of this make it up as we go along. In addition we do not want the UN anywhere near the US and giving INTERPOL more power than our FBI and CIA is a huge mistake that is yet to be explained.

As a fan of Pop Culture, I find the ever increasing number of snarky one-liners to be a fascinating commentary on our ever increasing esoteric cultural structure. It seems we can sum up entire social constructs with a few words carefully strung together.

“How’s that working out for you…” is not so much a question as an intent to point out an abject failure. “I’m not going to lie to you…” is not a brag of one’s moral strength, but an underscore of the incredulity of the next revelation.

Topping my list, although over used, is the quip “Drinking the Kool-aid” – which obviously does not refer to a refreshing kid’s beverage, but to one, or a group of folks, who accept an idea which proves to ultimately be foolish and hold devastating results.

For those of you who have lived on other than the Third planet from the Sun for the past 41 years, that phrase originates from the mass suicide of the members of the cult known as “The People’s Temple” lead by the late leader Jim Jones. In November, 1978, Jones convinced more than 900 of his followers to move with him to Guyana and then drink cyanide laced Kool-aid.

For the record, Kool-aid drinkers are not confined to any one political strata. On the Right, there are the conspiracy theorists who believe President Obama is not actually an American Citizen and find anything for which they disagree to be patently “Un-American.” Standing not too far from them are the Skin Heads, KKK, and hard core “Militia” types preparing for the Apocalypse.

On the Left are the “Bush lied about the war” folks and the ever present “The greatest enemy of America is the Christians” goofs ready to believe that “OMG” should be banned from texting abbreviations for the underlining and offensive notion that “God” was actually said in a sentence.

What is of concern to me at this time is not the wild-eyed extremes which have always pocked our public discussion. What I am beginning to really worry about is so many, whom I would have sworn were clear thinking individuals, are beginning to swerve into the notion that “government” can actually be counted on to “provide for the needs of the people.”

Ronald Reagan once said, “We are a country with a government, not the other way around.” It seems safe to assume the Obama Administration has read more Mao, than the Gipper.

As the proposed health care reform bills sliding through congress seem more like a snowball gaining size with every revolution than an attempt to answer specific problems of health care costs, it is clear the desire to control one sixth of our entire nation’s economy is the greater goal here.

Add that to the idea Obama may actually want to conduct a massive Stimulus Part Deaux, and the fact that nothing – no really, NOTHING has been done even remotely attempt to address the issue of jobs (currently at nearly 11% nationwide) one wonders just when the nuttiness becomes full-blown national insanity?

Yet, according to a recent Pew Research poll, 85% of democrats are in support of the Obama Administration’s direction. That’s a lot of Kool-aid! To be fair, ‘twas the vast majority of Democrats who elected this man to the Highest office.

But that same poll indicated those who were the most responsible for Obama’s victory, the elusive “Independents,” have begun to fall away from Obama support in droves. Clearly, reality is the greatest antidote to the poison of “Blind-hope and Change.”

Reagan said something else that bears repeating here: “I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.” As the Pelosi-Reid Health Care Titans march on Washington, they have tried to convince us that we don’t really know what is good for us and if we would all just shut up and sit down, they would “fix” us all! Because, you see, Americans don’t really know what is good for them. But they do. We don’t, they do.

So, I’m not going to lie to you, I think the direction the Obama Administration is taking to simply drinking the Kool-aid of “government is better than Americans.”

For those who are refuse to truly think through the conclusions of their own actions, how’s that “hope and change” thing working out for you?

By the way, faith in a government ultimately providing all that the people need is just a deadly as Cherry-flavored Cyonide.
