   Barack Obama [is] at the epicenter of an incestuous stew of American radical leftism. Not only are his connections significant, they practically define who he is. Taken together, they constitute a who’s who of the American radical left, and guiding all is the Cloward-Piven strategy. Obama’s associates are all radicals, firmly bedded in the anti-American, communist, socialist, radical leftist mesh. Obama is associated with black separatist liberation ideologues, domestic terrorists, Palestinian radicals, Kenyan mass murderers of Christians, and both Moist and Marxist communist radicals. Although Obama now tries to distance himself from them, now that he is running for president, they were all his mentors, allies, friends, contributors, associates and supporters. They befriended him… and he befriended and socialized with them back.

   The public knows next to nothing about them, and this is quite alarming considering that the Media is not doing the necessary work to expose them. To examine these relationships is not smearing, it speaks to his true intentions and ideological perspectives. Barack Obama, the Cloward-Piven candidate, no matter how he describes himself, has been a radical activist for most of his political career. That activism has been in support of organizations and initiatives that at their heart seek to tear the pillars of this nation asunder in order to replace them with their demented socialist vision. Their influence has spread so far and so wide that despite their blatant culpability in the current financial crisis, Capital Hill politicians now claim to be able to fix the problem with HOPE AND CHANGE.

   WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama plans to expand the membership of the National Security Council and increase its authority to set strategy on a wide range of domestic and international issues, The Washington Post reported on Saturday, quoting his national security adviser.

   The council, which was established after World War Two to advise U.S. presidents on military and diplomatic matters, would become “dramatically different” after the overhaul, national security adviser James Jones told the paper in an interview.

   “The world that we live in has changed so dramatically in this decade that organizations that were created to meet a certain set of criteria no longer are terribly useful,” Jones, a retired Marine general, was quoted as saying.

   He said sections of the government not traditionally part of the council would be brought in on a case-by-case basis—he named the Energy Department, Commerce Department and Treasury, and all the law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration.

   “New NSC directorates will deal with such department-spanning 21st-century issues as cyber security, energy, climate change, nation-building and infrastructure,” the Post said.

   Jones said the new structure would be outlined in a presidential directive, probably in the coming week.

   Perhaps Obama’s promised non-military ‘National Defense Force’, funded as well as DoD, aka Saddam Barack Hussein’s Dreaded Republican Guard, would answer directly to him via his National Security Council.

   Senate tried that. Amendment was shot down as Democrats listed the “wonderful” things ACORN does and told Republicans not to impute such a wonderful org. I saw it live.

   Drug use, teen pregnancy , and gang violence is either up, or unchanged since the 1990’s in urban areas, when Obama was empowering the people to deal with these issues by community organizing.

   The truth is they get money- and he gets power, the problems are never fixed but his power grows.

   The original reason given for forming ACORN has little resemblance to what they represent now!
   Acorn are the core players of his and the DNC political enforcement branch now, and funneling of any public money to them should be criminal!

   I heard today that Obama is backing off of that. Apparently, he now says they will share the office of census with the new Secratary of Commerce. Someone must have told him he was being too obvious about his attempt at a coup. I still think that they will get ACORN workers to conduct the census…and we know how accurate those folks are.

    If anyone expects Obama and the left to follow the Constitution you are nuts. They will do whatever they think they can get away with. They have no internal motivation to follow the Constitution. They are externally motivated by getting or not getting “caught”.

    The mindset that says the President will do his/her best to keep the Constitution and may miss the mark just a tad and if that happens it is an unintentional oversight, something that may happen rarely, that mind set is unrealistic with President Obama.

    If we want the Constitution followed we will need be assertive and aggressive.

    Hear, hear!!!

    The COLB “proof” that Obama provided…

    1) …Is not the same thing as the original birth certificate, and does not show the name of the hospital where he was born. Obama has never provided proof of the hospital and attending physician at his birth. Obama and his sister have given different hospital names as his location of birth. No hospital in Hawaii has any record of Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, being a patient in their hospital around the time of Obama’s birth.

    2) …First appeared on Daily Kos along with “Haye I.B Ahphorgerie” (”Hey! I Be A Forgery!”)

    3) …Was rightfully suspected of being a forgery.

    4) …The “hardcopy” was produced at the Obama Campaign headquarters, not by the State of Hawaii, and was only shown to a small, controlled, friendly audience.

    5) Neither the Daily KOS image nor the hardcopy were ever “verified” by the State of Hawaii.

    6) No Hawaiian official ever went on record saying that Obama was born in Hawaii.

    7) Both the Associated Press and Annenberg Political Fact Check published LIES that were then distributed far and wide and were believed by many people, including our beloved hostess Michelle and my Republican Senator.

    It baffles the mind how Obama was able to pull off this fraud in plain sight. Congress inspected one certificate from Hawaii (the certificate of the Electoral Vote), but never inspected the other certificate from Hawaii (the certificate of live birth for Obama). Pay no attention to Obama’s grandmother who says she was present at his birth…in Kenya! Pay no attention to Obama’s admitted British citizenship at birth (because his father was a British subject, not a U.S. citizen). Pay no attention to Obama’s Indonesian citizenship or his 1981 travel to Pakistan on a non-U.S. passport.

    We now have a Marxist usurper as Saboteur-in-Chief.

    Huckabee was the one who was PROUD to be spending taxpayer money on illegals.

    Romney had to remind him in the debate, “It’s not your money to spend!”

    Huckabee is Statist.

    Here are some facts about Huckabee:

    Excerpt from THIS article from The Club For Growth.

    Immediately upon taking office, Governor Huckabee signed a sales tax hike in 1996 to fund the Games and Fishing Commission and the Department of Parks and Tourism (Cato Policy Analysis No. 315, 09/03/98).

    He supported an internet sales tax in 2001 (Americans for Tax Reform 01/07/07).

    He publicly opposed the repeal of a sales tax on groceries and medicine in 2002 (Arkansas News Bureau 08/30/02).

    He signed bills raising taxes on gasoline (1999), cigarettes (2003) (Americans for Tax Reform 01/07/07), and a $5.25 per day bed-tax on private nursing home patients in 2001 (Arkansas New Bureau 03/01/01).

    He proposed another sales take hike in 2002 to fund education improvements (Arkansas News Bureau 12/05/02).

    He opposed a congressional measure to ban internet taxes in 2003 (Arkansas News Bureau 11/21/03).

    In 2004, he allowed a 17% sales tax increase to become law (The Gurdon Times 03/02/04).

    By the end of his ten-year tenure, Governor Huckabee was responsible for a 37% higher sales tax in Arkansas, 16% higher motor fuel taxes, and 103% higher cigarette taxes according to Americans for Tax Reform (01/07/07), garnering a lifetime grade of D from the free-market Cato Institute. While he is on record supporting making the Bush tax cuts permanent, he joined Democrats in criticizing the Republican Party for tilting its tax policies “toward the people at the top end of the economic scale” (Washington Examiner 09/13/06), even though objective evidence demonstrates that the Bush tax cuts have actually shifted the tax burden to higher income taxpayers.”

    Huckabee the next Ronald Reagan? Give me a break.

    so I will make one and only one reply to your comment.

    Mike Huckabee is a fiscal conservative who cut taxes almost 100 times in the state of Arkansas and returned almost $400 million to Arkansas taxpayers, including the first broad-based tax cut in the history of the state.

    A fair appraisal of Governor Huckabee’s record reveals that he is an authentic, consistent conservative whose goal is to reduce both taxes and spending

    The Fair Tax is the right way to go for many, many reasons.

    One of the things the Fair Tax does is turn the tables on illegal alien tax cheats. Instead of them not paying taxes (or worse yet getting $12,000 EICTC checks from the government), all illegals would be paying tax like everyone else, and illegals would not be sent “prebate” checks becuase they aren’t legally in this country.

    Which of the 2008 Presidential candidates supported the Fair Tax?

    Switching from looking back to looking forward, “We the People” should keep up the push to switch to the Fair Tax. It would give a very real “Stimulus” to our economy.

    We’re moving precipitously close to what I would call a savior-based economy,” Sanford also said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.

    The South Carolina Republican said such an economy is “what you see in Russia or Venezuela or Zimbabwe or places like that where it matters not how good your product is to the consumer but what your political connection is to those in power.”

    Thanks, Governor. Of course, my Savior didn’t preach stimulus bills in Jerusalem, while his disciples paid off politicians with “pork” spending. I wonder what will happen when the stimulus money runs out and these companies still don’t have buyers for their products? Run back to Obama, Reid and Pelosi, and get “nationalized”.

    And speaking of the RINO scumbag Arlen Specter…Bill Bennett said this morning on his radio show that sometimes he likes and Arlen Specter and sometimes he doesn’t!

    This made me insane…but not about Specter…about Bennett. Bennett has a pleasant style, a great sidekick in Seth, and an intelligent show. But Bennett is somewhat of a RINO and a fraud himself. He is much less of a conservative than his audience but manages to dance the line. ANYBODY who EVER thinks Specter has days that he likes is no political friend of mine. And Bennett was soft on immigration and always a fan of McCain. But Bennett cuts and trims and dodges and acts folksy. But he is a freakin’ RINO.

    I should clarify that Bennett’s remark that sometimes Specter is okay and sometimes not was in DEFENSE of Specter to a caller who was hot at him, as most of us are. (In fairness, it was a brief blowoff of the caller going into a break. But it is SPECTER who needs blowing off, not callers who attack him.)

    Huckter was very pro-illegal as Arkansas governor, and even spoke at LULAC/La raza events.

    He changed his position from pro illegals to anti-illegals when he entered the primary even faster than pro-life Al Gore in 1988 decided he was 100% pro-abortion when he entered the Democrat primaries.

    Side note- Al Gore, not George Bush, ran the first “Willie Horton” ads against Michael Dukakis.

    I’m letting the national party know today no more money from me if treason to the nation and party don’t draw extreme consequences.

    The Honorable Chariman Michael Steele
    Republican National Committee
    (202) 863-8820

    Sir:

    If the Republican party can not sustain a filibuster against the seriously flawed House Resolution 1, I will not support the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee or the National GOP in any way unless the Republican senators who voted for cloture or indicated a willingness to vote for cloture to prevent a filibuster are not publically excluded from receiving funds. I will not send my hard earned money to support candidates like Senator Specter in 2010 who do not share my conservative principles.

    I have contributed in the past to President Bush, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator McCain during the general election, the RNC and ‘SarahPAC’, as well as LTC Bill Russell’s campaign against John Murtha. I plan to do my best to help fiscal and social conservatives win back power in 2010 and 2012, but I will not support a Republican who is not conservative.

    I would prefer a meeting of the caucus, of the type the Democrats had concerning Senator Lieberman’s patriotic support for Senator McCain last year, to vote whether any senators who regularly vote with Senator Reid should be allowed to remain in the caucus. Clearly, if they won’t support the filibuster in this case, they will never support any filibuster, and it won’t matter if their expulsion results in more than 60 Democratic senators. At a minimum, a public declaration now of non-support from the National Party for those not with the rest of the Republican caucus before tomorrow’s vote should be made.

    Sincerely,

    Edward M. Mahmoud

    Do the math…

    Over the weekend someone sent me the following information. If you started with the “Stimulus” bill before Congress and you started on the day Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World and went about spending $4,000,000 a day you would still have several tens of billions of dollars left to spend.

    Of course, this ignores the extra day in leap years, but here is the math:

    2009 – 1492 x 365 x 4,000,000 = >$754 Billion!

    INCREDIBLE!!!

    Now, I just heard that there is a tax credit of $15,000 for home buyers. What about those of us that qualified for our mortgages and have paid on time, every time and paid out taxes as well.

    Also, I keep hearing how all of this is George Bush’ and the republicans fault. When are the pubbies going to start telling whose fault it actually is – Barney Frank and the dems! Time for these a$$e$ to grow a pair and go on the attack just lilke the non tax paying dems would do!
