Our economy has been brought to its knees because of the disastrous fiscal policies of politicians from both major parties as well as their creation of government created private entities  like ‘Fannie Mae’ and ‘Freddie Mac’ that interfered with our country’s economic system. For decades, Republican and Democratic members of congress have insisted on spending more than they can tax or borrow and the Federal Reserve (a group of private bankers) has conspired with them by printing Trillions of dollars in new “Fiat Money,” which is backed up by absolutely nothing, to make up the difference. 

 

The President and Congressional leaders are calling the current proposed stimulus package “an investment in America's infrastructure” but that is simply not the truth. According to the Congressional Budget Office, only 3 percent, or just $30 billion of this entire package, is dedicated to road and highway spending. The stimulus package will, however, provide additional funding for 150 different federal programs, will create 32 new federal programs, will expand government employment and federal agency budgets, but it's still not clear if it will create any measurable number of new private sector jobs.

While the people of America cut back on their spending and struggle to make ends meet, congress’ new stimulus package will insure that government agencies and selected special interest groups will get more money to spend. This proposed legislation provides enough spending to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700, or over $6,000 to every individual taxpayer. What did the American taxpayer get for the $ Trillion dollar plus bailout of Wall Street Firms and the Banks?  Absolutely Nothing! Unless you consider that the goal was to help some banks and Wall Street firms buy out other banks and Wall Street firms. To make matters worse, it was just reported that Wall Street execs gave themselves over $18 Billion in bonuses in 2008 as a reward for their failure, all with the taxpayers’ bailout money.

Robert Reich, one of President Obama’s chief economic advisors, spoke before the House Democrat Steering Committee recently and discussed the administration’s proposed new $850 billion plus stimulus package that would include the creation of new construction jobs to upgrade the nation’s roads and bridges. During the course of making his presentation, Mr. Reich said the following, and I quote: “I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers. … I have nothing against white male construction workers.” (I’m sure that some of Mr. Reich’s best friends are white male construction workers too!). He continued: “Criteria can be set so that the money does go to others, the long term unemployed minorities, women, people who are not necessarily construction workers or high-skilled professionals.”

Reich was basically telling the House democrats to create some sort of “criteria” in the new economic stimulus legislation that would insure that “white male construction workers” are somehow excluded or severely limited from receiving any of these funds. It is also interesting to note that not one of the members of this congressional committee objected to such obvious proposed racial and gender discrimination. Just imagine what would happen if a new Republican administration economic advisor told members of a congressional committee that they should develop “criteria” to exclude black male construction workers from receiving federal stimulus funds. It would be on the front page of every major newspaper in the country. Have you read about Reich’s racist remarks in any major newspapers or on your evening TV news?

Ever since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1965, the white male has become the unofficial target of the federal government. Over the last 40 plus years, congressional legislation and the federal courts have mandated affirmative action programs, hiring quotas and set-aside business quotas that give women and minorities preference over white males. Over the last 40 plus years, congress and the federal courts have manipulated the laws so much that by 2009 just about every person in America has now become a minority except the heterosexual white male.

Mr. Reich also stated that the new economic stimulus package should have “a high social return.” What the heck does that mean? It means that Reich and his accomplices in the new federal Politburo want to establish an official federal government discrimination policy against white males. They now intend to use official federal government “Racial and Gender Criteria” as a form of social engineering to determine which groups will be lucky enough to receive government money in order to achieve some sort of imaginary “high social return.”

Americans from all racial, gender and ethnic groups are being taxed to pay for this economic stimulus package, (yes: including white males). Therefore, every American should have equal access to the jobs created by this plan and none should be excluded because of their race or gender.

Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired a nation when he voiced his dream for a color-blind nation, a nation in which people would be judged by the content of their characters, "not the color of their skin." The answer to Robert Reich's proposed example of legalized government racism is the concept of Liberty with a limited, constitutional government that is devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than the claims of different racial, ethnic and other special interest groups.

Where Freedom and Liberty are present, individual achievement and competence should be rewarded, not the color of a person's skin, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

At a time when our federal government is reporting record numbers of job losses in all sectors of the economy throughout the United States, I believe it is time for the American government to protect the American citizen workers by slowing the massive importation of foreign workers into the United States.

According to recent government statistics, in November of 2008 alone, 533,000 non-farm jobs were lost in this country, while at the same time, the Department of Homeland Security issued 138,000 new work permits and green cards (not including replacement or renewal documents) to foreign workers.

As millions of American citizens are losing their jobs, their own government keeps importing 138,000 foreign workers a month into the country to compete for jobs with it own citizens. How does this make any sense? If you think the 138,000 monthly figures for foreign workers sounds too high, a recently published Department of Homeland Security report showed that in 2007 alone, the United States government granted 744,531 permanent green cards to working-age adults ages 20-64, and another 912,735 new employment authorization documents to temporary foreign workers. That adds up to an annual rate of 1,657,266 new foreign workers (not counting the millions of illegal workers) added to our economy each year.

Incoming President Obama has proposed a stimulus package that is expected to initially cost anywhere from $700 billion to well over a $1 trillion with a goal of creating 3 million jobs in the next two years. Whether or not you support his plan, if it works, the creation of 3 million new jobs will be a welcome relief to those American citizen families who are now unemployed due to the economy. Unfortunately, there is a major flaw in the overall plan. During the implementation of this two year plan to create three million jobs, our current immigration system is poised to bring in more than 3 million additional foreign workers in the same two year period. This means that the hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars spent on new jobs for Americans won’t even create enough jobs to keep pace with the number of foreign workers we will still be importing into our weakened economy. A large portion of the American taxpayers’ money might even be used to keep these foreign workers employed in the USA at the expense of American workers.

Our current immigration system is predicated on the false assumption that there are millions of jobs Americans won’t do at almost every level of the skill ladder. This is not a logical assumption in even the best of economic times. When American citizen workers are already suffering from an economy that is losing jobs at a phenomenal rate, it doesn’t make any sense for our own government to continue a policy of importing large numbers of foreign workers into the country to compete with its own citizens for jobs that are becoming scarcer.

In these tough economic times, when more and more American citizen workers are suffering and losing their jobs, our government needs to take two important steps to protect its own citizens. The first step is to put more emphasis on removing illegal alien workers from our country by actually enforcing our current immigration laws and the second step is to temporarily suspend the importation of millions of foreign workers into the country until the economy can support them.

Definition of a Coup: "noun: a sudden and decisive change of government illegally or by force."

The Supreme Court has been asked again and AGAIN to force Barack Obama to show THE PEOPLE of America his REAL birth certificate which is under lock and key in Hawaii and which will - or will NOT - show THE PEOPLE that he, Barack Obama, is legally and constitutionally qualified, by being a "natural born" citizen, to be President of the United States.

The Supreme Court CONTINOUSLY refuses to force Obama to reveal his real birth certificate. The Governor of Hawaii SAYS that she has seen Barack Obama's birth certificate BUT she refuses to show it to THE PEOPLE of America. Barack Obama has been asked numerous times by THE PEOPLE to show us his true birth certificate and yet, he refuses to do so.

If Barack Obama is a NATURAL BORN citizen of this country then WHAT is he hiding? The only thing that he could be hiding is the fact that he is NOT a "natural born" citizen of this country and as such is NOT ALLOWED to be President.

THUS, what you have is the Supreme Court, the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, the Electoral College, the Federal AND State Judiciaries and others in this country PURPOSELY ignoring the fact that this person, who is going to be sworn in to become the 44th President of these United States MAY NOT BE Constitutionally allowed or Constitutionally qualified to hold this nation's highest office.

What do you call a situation like this? What do you call a situation like this where individuals in government who SHOULD be DEMANDING that this man PROVE his Constitutional qualifications for this nation's highest office remain silent?

The answer is simple, yet no one wants to call it what it is. It's called: A POLITICAL COUP.

When you have different individuals in various branches of government working together to Un-Constitutionally and ILLEGALLY place a person into political office ( the office of The President of The United States ) and all of those individuals and organizations of government KEEP QUIET about what they know to be true then what you have is a Political Coup for all of those who know - or seriously suspect - that Obama is not native born, but who have remained silent, have thus worked together to commit a crime against U.S. Constitution and The People of These United States.

What you are now witnessing in America is THE TAKING OF THE PRESIDENCY, via a Political Coup by a man, Barack Obama, who more than likely is not Constitutionally or Legally allowed to hold that office.

And those who know what is going on but who continue to remain silent?What are they?

TRAITORS TO THIS COUNTRY AND TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!

This writer wonders just how much more of these traitorous actions the American People are going to swallow quietly and without protest like whipped dogs?

This article was submitted by an anonoymous writer.

 

Most Americans are aware of the fraud case involving Bernard Madoff, a Wall Stret financial advisor who is accused of swindling investors out of an estimated $50 billion in what is commonly called a “Ponzi Scheme.” Named after one of America’s greatest swindlers, Charles Ponzi, a “Ponzi Scheme” is a financial ruse that, for a time, appears to generate great returns from an investment when in fact it produces nothing. As the scheme continues to grow and attract new investors, it can appear to be very financially successful and those investors who get in and out early, oftentimes make a lot of money. Eventually, however, when no new victim investors can be found to put new money into the program, the scheme crashes and everyone who is still in it loses everything, as did most of Bernard Madoff’s investors.

Since the scheme made the news, American political leaders have pointed to the Madoff case as an example of what’s wrong with our country’s financial regulatory and oversight system. The politicians, the press and the investors want Madoff prosecuted and sent to jail for his crimes. Members of congress, both Republicans and Democrats, are outraged and are calling for more oversight of the financial industry. They want to know “who dropped the ball?” and how could such a massive fraud occur under the watchful eyes of federal government regulators?

Unfortunately, for decades many of these same political leaders and members of congress have been ignoring the two biggest “Ponzi Schemes” of all time. Schemes that make the Madoff scheme look like child’s play. The two “Ponzi Schemes” that pose the most danger to Americans are the government’s Social Security and Medicare programs. Congress has been routinely using the excess social security tax money that is collected to fund other programs to a point where the Social Security Trust Fund now consists of nothing more than a box of IOU’s and the unfunded Medicare costs continue to grow dramatically every year.

When the mandatory Social Security system was set up in 1935, there were 45-50 workers paying into the system for each retiree. Now there are only 3.4 workers for each retiree and the ratio continues to shrink. If nothing is done and congress fails to take remedial action, the rapidly expanding and underfunded Social Security and Medicare systems will collapse for lack of money just like the “Ponzi Scheme” of Bernard Madoff. Will members of congress demand that those responsible for the collapse of the Social Security and Medicare system be prosecuted and sent to jail? Will they want to know “who dropped the ball?” Of course not, because they will be the ones responsible.

Barack Hussein Obama has prevailed in the 2008 presidential election. Obama not only carried all the "blue" states that John Kerry won in 2004, he also flipped several "red" states, such as Colorado, Nevada, Florida and Virginia, delivering a crushing electoral defeat to John McCain. And the blame falls squarely on the GOP for allowing this Marxist to become president of the United States.

It has been interesting and amusing to read the numerous "post mortems" from conservative and liberal pundits alike. Yet not one of the post mortems has identified the real reason McCain got clobbered. It was not because of Sarah Palin, as many liberals claimed. Palin was the only thing that kept McCain in the game. It was not because middle America suddenly decided they like leftist solutions as opposed to conservative solutions. McCain offered few such solutions himself.

The reason Obama prevailed was because the GOP allowed a false narrative about Obama to stand — a narrative painting BHO as a moderate, reasonable, and competent legislator.

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

John McCain, for all his problems — deep distrust amongst conservatives, an unpopular Bush occupying the White House, an ill timed "fundamentals of the economy are strong" gaffe, and a less than stellar campaign team — could have put himself in a strong position to win with a single, courageous act: opposing the socialist "bailout." What would have been proof of a genuine free market Maverick, willing to stand and fight big spending socialism, instead turned into a Monty Python skit. McCain first ran with his instincts and stated he did not like the idea of a taxpayer bailout, then swiftly reversed himself — deciding it was his golden opportunity to "lead." He declared a phony "suspension" of his campaign and flew back to Washington to loudly promote this boondoggle. By doing so, not only did he look contrived and silly, McCain ended up on the exact same side of the issue as Nancy Pelosi, George Bush, Harry Reid, the GOP leadership and Barack Obama. And by being on the same side as Obama, his subsequent claims of prudent fiscal stewardship versus Obama's "tax and spend" liberalism rang exceedingly hollow.

This episode cost McCain dearly. After chipping away at Obama's lead all summer, after the negative publicity surrounding Obama and Jeremiah Wright, and then introducing Sarah Palin to America during the Republican National Convention, the wind was at McCain's back. Palin hit a home run in her speech, and McCain appeared quite clever for selecting her. The conservative base was starting to mobilize.

Then President Bush and Treasury Secretary Paulson announced a financial "crisis" to the world; and McCain (and the GOP leaders) crumpled like a cheap suit. Granted, there were other footprints on his John Thomas, such as the Spanish language ads touting his amnesty plan, his foolish call for the feds to usurp individual mortgages, and his cringe producing knocks against "big oil"; all which helped erode conservative enthusiasm. But the "bailout" debacle was the big one. McCain not only missed the opportunity to side with the people (70% strongly opposed), but he tied himself closer to Bush at a time when Bush's approval rating slumped from bad to worse. Within 10 days, the polls dramatically shifted from McCain up from 2 to 8 points, to an Obama lead, which was never relinquished.

That was John McCain's main contribution to his loss (other than being John McCain), but the entire GOP, including the RNC, McCain's advisors, the NRCC, the NRSC, and other various Republican organs failed as well. They not only failed to win, but more importantly, they failed to prevent a dyed in the wool, radical Marxist from ascending to the presidency. How? By not telling America that Barack Hussein Obama IS a dyed in the wool, radical Marxist!!! It is a nearly unforgivable crime to have failed to "put country first" and do everything in their power to keep this slippery and dangerous subversive from winning.

Had they exposed Barack Obama for who he really is, instead of bowing to the winds of political correctness and decorum, Obama and his democrat allies would have been beaten like ugly, red-headed stepchildren. Instead, they allowed Obama to dictate the narrative of his own life, knowing full well that the MSM was going to support him 100%. The ads that the GOP did run mentioning Bill Ayers were sporadic, and mostly ineffectual, because they never followed up on why it mattered. They never explained to the public that Bill Ayers is STILL a radical Marxist in every sense of the word, and was such when Obama "palled" around with him. They never explained that Obama and Ayers pushed anti-American, radical education "reform" together. They never wove it into the larger story line of Obama's entire life — a life full of radical associations, and his own Marxist activities. And they failed to clearly demonstrate how that radicalism is setting Obama's agenda this very day. It was an EPIC FAILURE on the part of the GOP!

THE REAL STORY:

Talk Radio has a massive audience, but it is a self selecting audience. Apolitical and swing voters generally do not tune in, and most liberals don't either. The only way for Obama's real narrative to have reached the masses who don't hang onto Rush's every word, and who don't spend their time reading Red State and Free Republic, was for the GOP hierarchy (including McCain) to raise hell about it. It was the only way the MSM was going to mention it. Instead we witnessed the spectacle of the RNC and McCain campaign scolding those in the Republican Party who tried to run such ads. And when a very brave congressman, Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), appeared on Chris Matthews' program and declared her suspicion that Obama may hold anti-American views, the NRCC pulled her funding and she was treated like a pariah in the party. Not one GOP leader rushed to her defense. It was a prime opportunity for Republicans to tell the world WHY Obama's views should be considered un-American. Instead, they cut and ran, just like they did from every Obama controversy.

No matter how many uppercuts talkers such as Mark Levin, Rush, Hugh Hewitt, and Savage delivered to Obama's chin, and no matter how much dirt the rightwing blogosphere uncovered, the powers that be in the Republican Party refused to join the fray, leaving the MSM to counter and gloss over anything negative about Obama that seeped into the national dialogue.

The Republicans have lost their nerve. Worse, they have lost their revulsion to socialism and Marxism and have devolved into politically correct, overfed capons. No other explanation suffices to illustrate their frightened, AWOL status on the following subjects:

Obama's mentor for roughly 10 years in Hawaii before he moved off to college was a man named Frank Marshall Davis. Obama reveals "Frank" as his respected mentor and adviser in Dreams of My Father, and recalls him fondly — nights of reading poetry together, drinking booze, and learning about the plight of blacks in America. Frank Marshall Davis was a radical Marxist and racist — and a pedophile. (Read all about Frank on Wikipedia here and in more detail from American Thinker here.)

Obama, in his first book Dreams, bluntly stated that once in college he actively sought out radicals as his friends. Quote: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists." How many of these radical and Marxist friends did the MSM seek out for interviews? Absolutely ZERO. (Read "Obama's Socialist Roots Run Deep" here.)

Obama was a member of the New Party in the early to mid 1990s. The New Party was a group of radical leftists founded in order to unite the Communists, the Socialist Workers Party, Community Organizers, and other various fringe groups into a more effective political party. There are photographs of Obama proudly standing with its leaders and articles in their publications celebrating his state Senate victory, and his membership in the NP. (More at Newsbusters here and Human Events here.)

Obama's African father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was a card carrying Marxist. Though as a child Barack did not know his father, once older he began serious correspondence with him. And he subsequently dedicated his first book to this man in 1995. Obama Sr., amongst other things, advocated the "communal ownership of land and the forced confiscation of privately controlled land," nationalizing foreign owned properties in his native Kenya, and "no limit to taxation if the benefits derived from public services by society measure up to the cost in taxation which they have to pay." Pure Marxism, and a heavy influence on Obama Jr. (PrestoPundit has a good primer on Sr.'s marxism here.)

Obama's very own mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was also a dedicated leftist her entire life. Obama credits her with having the most influence on his young life, saying "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics." She has been described by her friends as a "fellow traveler" — code word for communist. (Townhall.com has more here.)

Obama married Michelle Robinson. While Michelle can certainly be charming, she had to learn on the campaign trail to not portray America as a greatly flawed and depressing country — which of course only her husband could fix. Twice she stated she was "for the first time proud of my country" before such nonsense reached the media and she was forced to backpedal and whitewash. Her admonition for women to reject careers in "corporate America" in favor of "community service" reeks of class warfare. Her Princeton college thesis is pathetic race victim pablum sprinkled with hackneyed socialism. (Slate dissects it brutally here.)

For twenty plus years Obama (later joined by wife and kids) sat in the pews of Trinity United Christian Church, home of his "great friend and mentor," Pastor Jeremiah Wright. Everyone is familiar with Wright's racist and anti-American rants that received some media coverage back in June. However, the larger story is that Rev. Wright and his "church" are devoted adherents to Black Liberation Theology. Black Liberation Theology is a particularly noxious and ardently Marxist worldview. And Barack chose this institution willfully and continues to heap praise on it, despite being forced to finally toss the good Reverend under the bus during his campaign. (Much more on BLT here and here.)

Barack Obama traveled to Kenya in 2006 as a sitting U.S. Senator and campaigned (illegally so) for socialist presidential candidate, Raila Odinga. Odinga was defeated, but due to his post election agitation, riots ensued and more than 1500 Kenyan citizens were murdered. Kofi Annan brokered a power sharing agreement to stop the violence and Odinga was appointed Prime Minister. This is a man who was so enamored with Fidel Castro that he named his first born son Fidel in his honor. (Newsweek's sanitized essay on Odinga here, and the real Obama/Odinga story here from the Washington Times.)

Obama, as we have found out from the unrepentant terrorist himself since the election, was much more than just "neighbors" with Bill Ayers. According to Bill, they are "family friends." That Obama was blatantly lying about the extent of their relationship is inarguable. But even the relationship that was "on record," as political allies in Chicago politics, and allies in getting their education "agenda" realized through the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, was highly exploitable. For starters, Ayers may have quit advocating bombings, but he never once stopped advocating Marxist dogma, especially as it applied to education in America. And Obama was in lockstep, going so far to give a glowing review of Ayers' 1997 book, A Kind and Just Parent, praising the Marxist gibberish as "a searing and timely account of the juvenile court system." It has also been shown that there is a very real possibility that Ayers either edited or co-wrote Obama's Dreams book. (NR's Stanley Kurtz has more on the Obama/Ayers working relationship.)

Obama has an ongoing relationship with Code Pink, the Marxist, anti-war outfit most famous for protesting outside of Walter Reed military hospital and at military recruitment offices. Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans was a principle Obama "bundler" during the campaign, raising tens of thousands of dollars, and arranging events for Obama. Even after Evans stormed the stage at a Palin speech and was arrested, the MSM refused to report on the links and friendship with Barack Hussein Obama. (FreeRepublic covered this topic best, here, here, and here.)

The above close associations are only a partial list, for brevity's sake. But there are many others, including radical islamist and former black panther Khalid al-Mansour, a man identified by civil rights leader (and Obama supporter) Percy Sutton as "sponsoring" Obama during his Harvard days. Obama denies knowing him, yet al-Mansour and Sutton told the media the opposite. Also, "close friend" Rashid al Khalidi, Black Liberation soulmate and anti-semite Louis Farrakhan, his self described "spiritual advisers" such as the Marxist priest Father Pfleger and Reverend James "house niggers" Meeks, official campaign artist and Marxist propagandist Shepard Fairey, and Communist Party USA board member Tim Wheeler, who was honored by Obama with his own blog on the official Obama/Biden campaign website; all remained virtual unknowns. It goes on and on.

So what prevented the GOP and the McCain campaign from exploiting the history of Barack Obama and telling the true story about his politics and worldview? Shouldn't the urge to prevent such a radical from gaining the presidency of this blessed nation have outweighed any fear of being labeled racists and fear mongers by Obama's cheering section in the MSM? Only a fool or a leftist could have been comforted by Obama's attempts to sound notes of moderation during the general election.

There was a reason that Obama received endorsements from North Korea's official news outlet, Cuba's Fidel Castro, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, the Communist Party in the U.S. (CPUSA), France's Socialist Party, The New Black Panther Party, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the radical Palestinian party Hamas, British communist MP George Galloway, Libyan dictator Momar Kadafi, Calyspo Louie's Nation of Islam, Nicaraguan communist Daniel Ortega, and virtually every radical, leftist, socialist, and Marxist organization in existence.

Yet the GOP leaders watched in silence as conservatives in the blogosphere and talk radio documented these endorsements and associations and tied them to his voting record and his current policies. Policies that include radical gun control, giving out welfare and calling it tax cuts, pushing for surrender to the islamists in Iraq, lifting all restrictions on abortion, pushing an education policy right out of Bill Ayers' handbook, using Marxist Saul Alinsky's tactics for polluting the election process, threatening U.S. sovereignty with global UN tax proposals and unfettered illegal immigration, his call for a powerful "Civilian National Defense Force," his promises to gut missile defenses and many other high tech military systems, a radical energy agenda aimed at curbing fictitious "global warming," and his proposal for nationalizing health care.

Fellow conservatives, next time you find yourself enraged about a far reaching, socialist Obama policy which erodes and undermines our military capabilities, our free market economy, our sovereignty, or our Christian heritage, be sure to thank the leaders in the Republican Party. When it was time to stand and fight with us and expose the Marxist candidate to the American people, they chose the poisonous "safety" of political correctness instead; to their eternal shame and to our nation's catastrophic detriment.
