With regard to the battle royal going on with Social Security payroll tax reductions, this is playing with fire, it has become a battle that means all of us will become losers as a result. Forgotten is the fact that Social Security is only funded by this tax on payroll, and so we are now seeing Republicans and Democrats alike using the Social Security funding mechanism as a battle ground, and both parties are dead wrong to be playing with Social Security rather than finding a long term fix for funding Social Security. One can make a good argument that in fact becomes a win for Barack Obama because this buys into the leftists redirecting of Federal Dollars to the harmful spending on social dependency without paying for it, a Progressive concept. Entitlements should be paid for, and Obama gets his way of spending without paying for it. Once this becomes a bipartisan agreement, it will likely never be corrected.

The haves and have not’s are lining up on opposite sides, and yet this is the President that said he wanted to bring the country together. It is like a circus now in Washington, we need a different climate, the climate in Washington is ugly while our nation is in decline. Is this what Americans want?

Our economic growth has just been certified as in a downward trend, the anticipated 2% growth has been revised downward to 1.8% and weakening. This does not seem to be recognized by the media as the bad news that needs to be recognized, instead the media is writing glowing reports about the lowering of the unemployment last month. Predictably the Democrats and leftists have the main portion of the media in their pocket. This is a war on how the administration plays with polls and suggested voter support, when the actual figures are moving badly for Barak Obama. He is loosing his base on many fronts. By how much he looses his base is the deciding factor in whether he gets a second term. In my opinion a second term for Barack Obama would be devastating to the United States of America.

The reason I am senting this out is because there are real reasons to worry where this nation is headed politically and security wise. There are concerns that many in the Republican ranks are fractured and could result in the next election to go for Obama again which I believe would be tragic for America. We are sleep walking toward calamity I believe and we need to be shaken up now. This conference sponsored by FrontPagemag.com was addressing these fears. When you have William Kristol on Fox News evenings five days per week and Kristol as head of The Weekly Standard organization supposedly a conservative organization bashing Glenn Beck and David Horowitz as irresponsible, we have a real problem. This is the absolute Conservative Split that will put Barack Obama back in the Whitehouse for an additional term of office. I believe if Obama gets a second term, our nation will forever be changed and be like the socialists nations in Europe and we will see a dramatic default in our future. I am heartened that the Tea Party Movement in most cases seems to be awaking to this threat as well. You will note if you watch the news that the Obama Administration is doing everything possible to defeat progress of the Tea Party Movement and this is likely to become very pronounced from this point forward as the Obama campaign with help from the unions, The Center for American Progress, George Soros, and Occupy revolunaries continues as part of Obama’s campaign operatives.

Local politicians are not thinking ahead, they just take this money, it has the effect that when the Federal money stops when Obama and his spending machine is ousted and when a sensible President finally gets elected, a compete shambles will exist. The money must be spent by time lines fully in the fiscal year in which received, and this creates extreme last minute waste of our taxpayer money. A sensible President of course will have to start a process of getting Federal Government out of the local financing of all local governments, and by the way stopping the funding of local services such as police, teachers, social workers etc. Bailing out of pension funds by the way is simply repairing damage created by continued economic damage brought on by the Obama Administration in the first place, with investments in pension portfolio’s tragically lowered by all the bad news on Wall Street. It may break the back of local community’s tax wise to pick up the pieces again and return local governance to local taxation, and of course the Progressives will blame Republican for all of this. If that does not happen with true leadership of a new reasonable President, America will be like Greece or EU that is now struggling to survive. We will stager and sweat with hard choices at the local level, if ever they can climb out of the deep whole that states and local governments find themselves thanks to Barack Obama and his spending machine.

It would be mind boggling that families do not understand and see that the spending by the Federal Government under Barack Obama is the source of continued and massive problems that are creating more uncertainty and more pain, increasing long term debt, with his policies. Families know or should know that you spend within the means of the income, and if you ignore that there will be continued building of debt, which eventually consumes your entire family. In short that is what is happening to the USA. That is what happened to Greece. Why do you think a re-visit to the lowering of our credit ratings are again being spoken of this week.

Currently the US House of Representatives must hold the line against Barack Obama and his spending machine, the US Senate under Sen. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are still supporting Obama and his outrageous spending regulation attack upon US business and our economy. Obama and his team attack daily the Republicans and many Democrats who see the light and are worried about where this President is sending our future, and that my friends is right down the drain. Obama attacks Republican efforts to contain the spending contain the growth of onerous EPA and other regulatory impingements against corporations, business large and small, that are the real reason jobs are not being created. Obama’s jobs bill will not work, the last stimulus did not work, why allow him to skirt around Congress which is his current threat, and this must not be allowed. This threat has been surfacing more and more, we should take his threats seriously, he has done this with his failed Cap and Trade legislation to a major degree with the onerous EPA regulations he continues to spend around Congress on under the radar programs and projects. We may face a time when we will realize Obama’s true intentions which are that of ignoring the checks and balances built into our US Constitution, and thus we may see a Constitutional Crisis facing us very soon.

Barack Obama may be hankering for a Constitutional Crisis, as a means to then submit his saving our nation from his created crisis by suggesting a new Constitutional document that will shake off the constraints he is now experiencing with the oversight of Congress that he so hates. Remember he claims he is a Constitutional Lawyer trained at Harvard to look for ways to remove the imposition of the checks and balance that Presidents must endure, enforced by Congress power over our Federal Government. He does not like the check and balance that the Constitution provides. If he would be successful in this use of a Constitutional Crisis and establish a new Constitution with changes to allow his command and control, we would in effect become a different kind of nation led by a stronger President over which Congress would have little power. I do not believe this would be what the American People desire or should accept.

History over the past 20 years will show that during the Clinton years, with the removal of the Glass-Steagall Act that was a means to ease out of the great depression in the 30’s, Wall Street was very happy with this relaxation of regulation that now allowed banks to get into or merge into the securities and underwriting and insurance business. It can be argued that this repeal of the barriers between banks and securities and so forth set up the scenario that led to the wall street demise of the real estate debacle known as the real estate bubble. Then Congress was also pushing the use of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 as revised many times by Congress that led to the pressure by Congress, mostly Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Chris Dodd, and Sen. Chuck Schumer and many other House and Senate members to put people in homes they could not afford, which most likely would never have happened if Glass-Steagall Act was fully in force through the 90’s and beyond. So the use of the Community Reinvestment Act as revised along with new power of Banks were the greased machinery that caused the Real Estate Bubble, not George W. Bush who had nothing to do with the causation of the real estate bubble. Yet that is who Barack Obama and the Progressive Democrats continue to pursue as the culprit and the one onto to which to hang the blame for our current stymied economy.

Somehow the only message of Barack Obama is that the jobs have not been produced after his efforts of three years because of the Republicans not passing the Jobs Bill, and that is a donnybrook, a BIG FAT LIE, the jobs bill would continue the massive spending that Barack Obama and the Progressives seem to love, without regard to what happens when the taxpayers money runs out and there is no more money. Of course they then call up the Federal Reserve and print more money, which then leverages downward the value of the US Dollar, and does more damage to America and taxpayers. We are seeing how Socialism, Communism or Progressive policy what ever Obama wants to call his politics these days….we are seeing exactly how his politics are working, we are seeing first hand what will bring us down eventually. The next election is the most important Presidential election ever.

I believe we are about to experience terrible repression utilizing national emergency concepts as the excuse by our Federal Government that will violate all citizens of the United States of America particularly in property rights of the individual and making decisions as to how towns and services in local communities will be allowed to operate. We have seen tragic take over’s of individual property in the urban areas of the US, but this is not a new phenomena, it has been going on for virtually all of the 1900′s. This is repression, and we have seen much written about the Agenda 21 Sustainable Development which in reality is the United Nations intrusion into all of our communities in the United States of America. You don’t see the United Nations intrusion because they have become stealth in their actions, many local jurisdictions want to jump onto the green movement and are blinded by the fact that local planning commissions have over time regenerated in the greening of American as their primary mission or at least one of their primary missions. The current day crop of certified planners have all been schooled in the need to save the planet, to set aside massive amounts of watershed and ego space for specie protection. We are learning that they have planners who have been schooled in how to proceed toward these green missions by using the mechanisms of the United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development standards as their bible for progressive programs to pursue because it is in place and available for cheap and quick off the shelf programs to install at the local level. These planning commissions have extreme power to make decisions about space utilization and they become the proxies for the United Nations, and unbelievably our Washington legislators and yes even both political parties have with total abandon stopped fighting for individual rights and are in favor of allowing the Agenda 21 policies of the United Nations to move forward aggressively in our local communities from coast to coast. Buried deep in the language of treaties that Democratic and Republican Presidents have signed right up to and including George W. Bush and now Barack Obama, the United States of American has agreed to all of this without the approval or knowledge of most of the citizens of the United States of America. Interesting that to date no questions of the candidates for President of the USA have been ask relative to Agenda 21. Why?

Having been to Washington DC in theSpring season of this year, and with groups who question all of this, we learned that our US House of Representative and US Senate politicians are aware of Agenda 21, and they just have no opinion about how good or bad all of this is, they just say, well these people just want to promote green policies and that cannot be all that bad. The environmentalists, global warming crowd control globally the United Nations. This is where the Soviets leaders of old and those socialist leaders across the globe have found a new home and it is one world government coming at us at rapid speed. Our own political leaders don’t want to face this new reality because they are afraid of the environmentalists, afraid of being negative about something so innocent as cleaner water and air, they don’t have the guts to stand up for we the people and our individual rights. It is easier for them to collect the great pay, huge pensions, the free healthcare they receive than to face reality, they know, they just want to take the easy road and do nothing about the massive global take over happening daily in our communities. They figure they will be alright, they have their money and pensions. You would think they would think of their children and grandchildren and the legacy they leave?

Soros rails on about the USA being the only Superpower, that he cannot stand this to continue, he wants that ended. The Progressives love George Soros, they celebrate him and his idiot ideas, because they don’t like the capitalist idea, that people the normal people can become part of the upper class in a true capitalist system. Progressives want to maintain the upper class from the masses. Soros believes in a class against class system. This then takes on a study of a man from Hungary that was able to work with the Third Reich and was able to survive only because he worked on turning in his fellow man to the authorities and gained freedom in that manner. He continues to this day building his empire upon the backs of societies failures. This is the guilt and the sum of this man, who spent a lifetime explaining his acts, while continuing to short change others to gain his. A brilliant trader of currencies, it appears he only gains wealth when other loose.
Soros has way too much influence over the current Obama administration, to a point of allowing significant damage to our national future. We need be aware of this particularly at these perilous times. He is a creature allowed huge influence by the Progressives, the far left political movements now in power with the exception of the US House of Representatives, and they need to keep pressure on the Progressives and their allowances for the Soros influence.

So they will re-script the stimulus I suppose into some other more acceptable terms like investment in schools, investment in infrastructure, new retro-fitting of buildings nationwide (All Union Contracts by the way), new approaches in job security like expanded unemployment extensions, and expanding training programs for the unemployed (a treasure trove of nonsense) and higher taxes will most likely be on his agenda as well which will also kill jobs. Apparently Representative Pelosi feels that the Republicans and Tea Party people have ruined the word stimulus. Because Obama is only able to think through use of stimulus they have to rename and disguise it as something else. We are talking at kindergarten level here, that is what this boils down to. Do the same failed things but call it something else just to get the Obama Team hands on the money….that is what they are all about. Then they shovel the money out to their favorite co-conspirators in creating debt and seeing the money reward their voting for Barack Obama. The money goes to local groups and governments across the nation and it becomes impossible to audit exactly what impact and where it all goes. It is all about Barack Obama, every single cent, and this allows Obama Team members to fund what ever they want, to work around Congress in most instances. This is the way he funds his Executive Orders as well, which is also by-passing Congress and the will of the American people. We now have new unionization rules that will ruin many small to large businesses and kill jobs, we have new immigration programs that will exclude European and Far Eastern immigrants in favor of illegal’s receiving special treatment to become Citizens and voters for Obama.

A by-product mentioned on CNBC Squawk Box this morning, in anticipation of Barack Obama’s speech, the global finance Ministers are scrambling wondering how to protect their currencies, their investment apparatus (Banks and their Stock Markets) in that there are less attractive places to preserve national capital, and investors are also finding it difficult to manage safe harbors for large investors these days. Just keeping cash in safe accounts is becoming very risk intensive these days. If a global downturn shapes up, which seems to be developing, cash is not always safe anymore than equity in ownership of stocks and bonds. The mood is ugly worldwide. Senator Hatch, Utah this morning stated bureaucrats in Washington are now second guessing bankers on which loans to approve, and how to run their lending business and how to invest their capital. He believes the Obama Team is actually attempting to run the banking industry in the United States, that our Secretary of the Treasury has grabbed so much power and the Fed Chairman equally has grabbed enourmous power, that Obama controls the pulse beat of our economic and banking systems completely. Hatch believes and said so this morning that Obama is attempting to crash our economic system. It is significant that a US Senator goes on national television and makes that statement and it does not seem to sink in the minds of the mainstream press that many US Senators and US Representatives are saying this exact same thing. Do we hear this resounding anywhere? Nope. Even Fox News Network seems to have recently gone mainstream and is ignoring these numerous and expanding comments these days. Is Rupert Murdock, NewsCorp owner under pressure due to the UK damage done to his investments there, and much of that comes from the George Soros pressure there, is that now causing problems for NewCorp that owns Fox News in this country? Just wondering.

This from a President that has done everything possible to deny American citizens transparency on practically everything he and his Whitehouse has done since being elected to office. This is a horrible joke to say the least when he foisted Obamacare upon American without out their knowledge….remember Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House at that time (Obama’s Henchperson) boasted that “we must pass the Obamacare Bill so we will learn what was in it”. This was a massive 700 plus page bill completely unread by Congress but then passed without pubic input, or knowledge when Obama had both Houses of our Legislature in his Democratic control. We have learned what was in it and wow, the American people are angry and stunned with the details that are still being realized as a massive socialistic approach to not only medical care, but the way our nation will be operated in a very “central command form” of government under Barack Obama. If we wanted to live under Castro’s Cuba or a North Korea type of government we would have moved there.

This President that has been installing socialistic policy to redistribute America’s wealth, your wealth, to those who better deserve it in Obama’s opinion and to other countries, to somehow make these decisions without your knowledge or desire, having protested during his campaign when Joe the Plumber called him out on this idea of wealth redistribution. Joe the Plumber was absolutely correct, we all now know it. Barack was angry not that he said he intended to redistribute our wealth, but that Joe the Plumber allowed the media to tape his comments to Joe the Plumber while standing on Joe’s driveway….remember that? Is that the kind of political shill we deserve as our President? I think not.

The facts here are that the one man who so hates the US Constitution because it defines limits upon what US Government is allowed to do….This outrageous President uses the Constitution in present form to justify his horrible actions taken since becoming President. He even utilizes a painting of the signing of the Constitution in his ploy. Only a very sick person could do this with a straight face, and this man has no problem doing this to our US Constitution and to us the Citizens of the United States of America. Do We Citizens even grasp this fact?

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/white-house-unveils-we-the-people-online-petition-tool/ This is the real story, but I have augmented it a bit with the link of the Whitehouse notification of the WE THE PEOPLE WHITEHOUSE the Self Generated way to seek self directed support to Barack Obama’s Agendas. You can bet this is a political stunt… a trick to suggest the American people love their Dear Leader, as in many other countries where self generated praise is utilized to condition citizens to believe that their leader is loved and supported when in fact often the opposite is the case. I wonder who will be reading the comments generated and throwing away all the negative ones? I would bet much of the input will be self generated by paid ACORN types of Obama supporters gleaning what ever they can generate or solicit. I have used the term “We the People” often….now even this is confiscated by Obama’s minions as a term that is no longer valid. What a shame.

Now without out the American exceptionalism carrying the load, the Western world will fall apart one nation at a time, you know it and I know it. The world needs a leader, a parent leading the way, or the pack leader as in the animal world, one that is not out to own or dominate, that is the marvel of the past 60 years, in fact the last 235 years, one cannot deny it. We have fought wars for others, without claiming ground, without dictating the future of other nations and other peoples, although we have been accused of that, without a shred of evidence.

So now, our own Washington political powers are beginning to tear at the core of our success, the central dominant theme that has pulled everyone through the tough times. If the current leadership in Washington continues in the course it has forged, where our business is taxed at a substantial rate compared with Canada or many other nations, our leadership will be lessened, if not destroyed and then what? The current administration makes false claims about its tax rate comparisons. The current President is now making imperial decrees as in the Executive Order to impose the new immigration policy (The Dream Act) without Congress, without the American people’s endorsement. He has also imposed the Obamacare package against the will of the governed. This is the beginning of our decline of the rule of order. This is the beginning of the Transformation that our President spoke of as he assumed office. The decline of the Western World has begun and will completely fail in due course. Then the next wave of humanity begins, and what will that look like….a China or Russian wave, or even a Muslim wave? We need to wake up now, right now and decide what as Americans we want…for our children, our next generations.

A new global governance will not be kind, it will be dominant I fear, and it will extract blameful pain contrived or made up, but we will suffer great decline in family, comfort, resources and above all destiny. We will loose it totally and absolutely. That my friends is why I am so incited to write my funny email memos and my blog, my efforts to educate or entice many to take action to stop the destruction of our way or love of life. Many I love have not adopted my stance, and I am sorry about that, but if I can able others to take up the fight against the next wave, to stop the demise of our 235 year record of achievement in the American experiment, then I am worthy. Otherwise I will be just another soul and that perished without taking a stand.

Sen. Kyle and Sen. Durbin this morning on The Fox News Morning Program kind of sounds like movement toward possible agreement could be possible if only the Republican House can muster up agreement to what the Senators seem to be saying. That is a tall order, gained is removal of tax increases with Senators Kyle and Durbin, and they both say Obama would now, in light of the terrible economic news seen at the end of the past week on revisions of the first quarter growth lowering projections, allow the revenue issue to kind of be forgotten. Not forgotten however is the sticking point that Republicans, particularly the Tea Party wing of Republicans to accept, the loss of the 6 to 12 month review built into the allowing for the debt ceiling increase, and this will be the major issue for voting today, at 1:00 pm. Add into this equation, in Europe, the announced return of significant downturns in economic futures that are now being made known and this has a dramatic impact upon the United States economic order as well. We hear that the US credit ratings are at steak, that if they fall from Triple AAA, we will suffer huge losses. The big question then is….are we returning to a new recession, this time uniform as global recession? Many are saying yes this is now coming into focus as our own national situation is raging. This new alarm bell on possible new recessionary pressure is a separate issue not really connected to the Debt Ceiling question, but a factor to be considered along with it.

So today we see the battle lines in Washington continue, the deadline or line in the sand drawn by Barack Obama himself, are upon us, real or manufactured, and the decision point is here. What happens now is going to affect our lives, our businesses, and our futures greatly, it appears the Congress, both houses and the President has painted themselves into a corner, with a way out, The Democrats say, if only the “Radical Tea Party Republicans” will wake up and smell the coffee.

If the Democrats branded “Radical Republicans” fail to obtain a temporary approval subject to a 6 month or 12 month review to release the full increase of increase of the debt limit, with review of cuts equal to the increase in debt and a plan agreed upon by the President, then that gives Barack Obama a free ticket, as described as a “life line” possibly to a second term in office, something the vast majority of Republicans are really worried about. So are there politics involved, you bet, and is that wrong?…… In my opinion, all things in Washington DC involve politics, so the Republicans have a right to question why we would put Barack Obama back into the Whitehouse for a second term with the damage inflicted by his policies and lack of leadership as he has been shown to display. We look at where this country is right now, it is in shambles, and everyone is scared about the future, about how to exist comfortably in this economic storm. The constant spending by our Federal Government under Barack Obama is the problem. This must lie at the feet of Barack Obama, and it should and it does. The common belief is that his spending will continue, that is all he knows and all he does.
