   We are dealing with a rookie and naive president, along with a “congress gone wild”. Things are going to get a heck of a lot worse, before the American public says “enough”, loudly to be heard by our corrupt government.

   When we all are hungry, we will sign up. The sword of nationalization will not stop hacking until the communists have all aspects of our lives in their pockets. When the grocery stores get nationalized is when we are done. Hungry people will do anything

   Exactly! I would argue though that Obama is not so much a communist as he is a facist.

   Does anyone else out there see the irony in CitiGroup downgrading Wal-mart stock trading @48/share after their own stock has dropped from @25/share to $1.67 in the last 5 months?

   Has Wal-mart issued any advisories changing their recommendation on CitiGroup stock from “hang yourself” to “throw yourself out the window?”

   Obama is not a rookie. He has been preparing his entire life to “bring an Empire to its knees”. And it appears from his short time in office that he is a professional.

   The Democratic Socialist Communists have a program called
   

   The Road to Socialism USA

   and they are driving us down that road with a lead foot.
   Here is the summary of where they want to take us:

   The problems of exploitation, oppression, and survival facing humankind can only be solved, ultimately, by the elimination of the exploitative system of capitalism. Our survival depends on a transformation to socialism. The U.S. working class, with a long revolutionary history and many powerful mass movements and organizations, has the potential to make this transition happen. That means building unity for peace, for protecting and expanding democracy, for living-wage jobs, for universal health care, for real equality for all those who are nationally or racially oppressed and women, for an end to the political control of the ultra-right over our political institutions, and for an end to the economic rule of the transnational corporations. Building and strengthening organizations of and alliances between the working class and its allies, winning real unity in the course of struggle, is the path from our current struggles towards socialism.

   A Communist Party is essential for Marxists to test revolutionary theory through practice. We are not a debating society wrangling over obscure texts. We are a political movement, and we welcome all who accept our program. As Marx said, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” The Communist Party USA is about changing the world.

   CHANGE. It’s what Obama is all about. Fundamentally changing this country from a Capitalist nation to a Communist one. But name a single Communist country that worked and actually brougt HOPE to its people.

   Every time in history when a region of the world was split into one part Communist and one part Capitalist, the Capitalist country always provides a better outcome for it’s people. Look at West Germany vs. East Germany. Look at South Korea vs. North Korea.

   Socialism and Communism are quite literally Satan’s form of economics – based on jealousy, and leading to pain and suffering for the people. It’s no surprise that Communist countries frequently try to ban the Bible and the Gospel message. Their goal is to keep people in bondage, not to set them free.

   Things are going to get a heck of a lot worse, before the American public says “enough”, loudly to be heard by our corrupt government.

   Loud words aren’t going to stop them. They will not stop voluntarily.

    Well, working from a PDA without the benefits of spellcheck software, or format buttons (you know, [strong], [link], [quote], [preview], etc…) means I sometimes err when writing. Add to that that the editbox is 1line high and 21 characters long — necessitating my scrolling back and forth between sections of my comment, I think I do fairly well.

    Of course, if I didn’t credit 80% of the visitors here with intellect enough to compensate for my shortfalls in expressing my thoughts, I might write it all out on paper 1st, instead of extemporizing.[grin]

    Hi Joy!

    Thank you so very much for asking!

    Physically & mentally he’s doing pretty well. He’s been busy winding up his affairs, because we’ve decided he’ll go with my group (ie my wife, minor children and I) to AK after my final-out is completed.

    He loves to hunt & fish, (and even after 60yrs, there’s still a lot he can teach me[grin])!

    Also, the current direction of our Country has disheartened him. He’s suddenly starting to feel his years, so emotionally he’s kindof worn out. I guess its to be expected — his love for The Founding Fathers & the Constitution is exceeding deep. To see it, even in its current watered-down form, dismantled over a few months (or even the strong start currently) largely without outcry by the people it was written to protect has hit him hard.

    Related News
    StepMom was going to re-up, but after the new directives were unveiled, she’s decided that at the end of this year she’s taking early retirement. I’ve posted some of them on MMs site earlier… things such as Active Duty having a co-pay *even* at a Base MTF, and counting medical care Active Duty & dependnts receive toward a “lifetime cap”, etc. She sees where things are heading and wants no part of it.

    She’s going join us later and plans to hang her shingle whereever in AK she & Dad wind-up. She’s said she doesn’t care if her patients pay her in elk-meat. AND she’s not putting her people’s records on the net, either!

    I know that remembers his friends here very fondly, he’s just on a rough patch right now.

    Every store in this country is out of popular ammo from 32act/9mm/45/270 win/30-06 and beyond. It was Obama’s first Stimulus.

    If you’re a hunter or gun owner, you already know how hard it’s become to find guns or even basic accessories like ammunition or parts. Todd Borders is the Vice President of Borders Sporting Goods in Summit, Kentucky. He says finding guns these days isn’t easy, even for shops like his. “Most all the other dealers I know are having a difficult time,” Borders said. “The distributors even the manufactures are running full staff and they just can’t keep up with the demand right now.” Borders says sales have been strong for quite a while now. Since a certain day last November, to be exact. “It started the day after the election,” Borders said. “I think people are concerned what they might take away.” Sportsmen like David Stalvey are struggling to find the parts and ammunition they need. Their fear is that lawmakers in Washington might try to change guns laws…

    Michell: Please bear with me I’ve got to vent somewhere.

    I mentioned in a note here yesterday that it might be worthwhile to watch a DOJ move on one Sheriff Joe Arpio of Maricopa County AZ.

    It blows my mind, here we are in the middle of one of the greatest financial catastrophes in our history. Being led by a total novice, and 4 Democrats from, Mich, N.Y,Calif, and VA have the time and chutzpah to “dabble” in the internal affairs of a state that, at least for three of them, is on the other side of the country.

    A side show to take the audience eyes off the Freak?

    ACORN, the ACLU and the National Day Laborer Organizer Network (what chapter of Alinsky covers this group?)are participants in a lawsuit charging Civil Rights violations by the Sheriff’s Department against illegal aliens.

    I guess I have a problem understanding “illegal alien civil rights”

    Sorry, I’ve been doing my final out-processing and it has been really rough, especially today.

    There’s a joke in the military about GS (Gov.Service) workers:
    Its a hard job: start at bright & early at the crack of 10:00, union break at 10:30… Eagerly back at it at 11:45, a well-earned lunch at 13! 2 measly hrs for lunch — hardly any time at all — then back workin’ hard until the union break at 1545! Work like a dog until 1630 and drag yourself home to a well-deserved rest!

    And all at only 22% more than a serviceman in the same job!
    (…can you tell the major source my frustration?)

    I’m sorry I misread the tone you used. Going back & re-reading it I see the tone meant now.

    Take care! As for me, I’m taking the wife to dinner…

    That comes from the mindset “Citizen of the World”, “World Without Borders”-Racist, Imperialist, Capitalist America must be destroyed on the alter of the UN. John McCain was not too far from there–Obama made his point rather clear at the Socialist Workers Rally in Berlin.

    In the case of the illegal aliens in Arizona and in this case Maricopa County the groups representing the law suit are Reconquesta–they want the western United States to be reunited with Mexico.

    These groups not only do not want the immigration laws enforced:
    Drunk Driving-bad but part of the macho culture
    Spousal Abuse- to be settled by family, part of the macho culture and none of the Man’s business
    Coyotes- Criminals to the U.S. but heroes to the Reconquesta and anarchist. They can be real monsters to their victims.
    Gang Activity and associated crime–macho culture again.

    And the list goes on. In southern Arizona we have Rep. Raul Grijalva openly working for the Reconquesta. Treason and nothing but treason. No worse than McCain I would suppose.

    Card Check-open immigration-medical files online- it is all part and parcel of our subjugation–they wish the SOBs.

    I was at my local union meeting this evening. First came a call to action to contact our congressmen and senators to support the Employee Free Choice Act, whose opponents are
    - raising “‘gasp’$100 million to fight” ,
    - and spreading the ‘myth of union coercion’….

    Next came
    - pressure to donate through payroll deduction to the union’s PAC,
    - and a survey of ‘What I want my union to do / not do’ which we were told to leave in a branch officer’s work space if we wanted anonymity.

    Lesson 1 : Millions for advocacy from big business, bad.
    Many more millions for big labor advocacy, good.

    Lesson 2: Public response to your local union survey is too intimidating. Publicly deciding to seek or not seek union representation is not at all intimidating.

    Too funny.

    the company would have to concede higher wages formore seasoned employees, increase employee benefits significantly, and would experience diminished workforce flexibility, the analyst said.

    And what that little statement leaves out, but will be devastating nation wide is that the prices of all their items and food, which is low and allows lower income families the ability to stay afloat, especially those able to but groceries for half what it would cost at any normal supermarket, to rise drastically, placing undue hardship on people who will, in no way, benefit from the unionization of the WalMart employees.

    See, that is the Democrat plan for you. They love to say how they are helping and list off any number of special interest groups, but ultimately their plans will destroy far more people in this country than they could ever help.
