			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In many ways, Obama represents the sum product of the generation primarily responsible for electing him.  He is ignorant yet arrogant, narcissistic, selfish, idiotic, delusional, and has an unreasonable sense of entitlement.  In other words, he is highly representative of the youngest voting generation. </p>
<p>From a CNN exit poll: “Voters in the 18 to 24 age group broke 68 percent for Obama to 30 percent for John McCain, according to the exit polling. Those in the 25 to 29 age bracket went 69 percent to 29 percent in Obama&#8217;s favor&#8230;”  That would be Generation ME. </p>
<p>Generation ME consists of those older boys and girls of ages between 18 and 40, the group forming the majority of Obama voters.  It would be faulty refer to them as young men and women, since those nouns imply some kind of maturity or adulthood.  Rather, the majority of them are overgrown children that behave and think like adolescents.  </p>
<p>They are surprisingly arrogant considering their ignorance, and they are also selfish, idiotic, delusional, and brainwashed.  They have an unbelievable sense of entitlement. Everything should be given to them just as they want it, regardless of where it comes from or how much other people toiled for it. </p>
<p>(To be fair, not all of them are overgrown children. I certainly know many that are fine young men and women, responsible adults, and good Americans.  But these are in the minority, and many are embarrassed of their own generation.)</p>
<p>There are certainly other names we could issue to this generation, but “ME” seems to be the simplest  word that sums up so many of their characteristics.  Look at all the products that are oriented towards this generation:  Imac, Ipod, Ipad, Iphone, Youtube, Myspace.  The list goes on. Everything is about ME. </p>
<p>Who is responsible for Generation ME? How did we get here? It’s a long story but you have to look at the big picture.  Here’s the short version:   </p>
<p>It all started with the Lost Generation that elected President Franklin Roosevelt. FDR was the father of modern socialism in the US. He brought about Social Security and other entitlement programs, and raised top rate taxes to levels unheard of.  </p>
<p>Perhaps his greatest legacy was ridding the US of hundreds of thousands of patriots from the Greatest Generation by sending them off to die overseas, in order to save nations of apathetic socialist idiots that didn’t want to even make an effort to save themselves from socialist dictator Hitler (look it up, NAZI = National Socialist Party; Hitler was a man of the left.)</p>
<p>With a large volume of patriots dead and gone, FDR was free to usher in a new era of socialism.  In fact, he used their loss as the very excuse for Social Security.  There simply weren’t enough young adults around to care for the old anymore, so it was determined the government would care for them.  </p>
<p>It did make some sense as a short term solution, considering the government was responsible for sending children of the elderly off to die. However, the program would never go away, and permanent socialistic government care for the elderly replaced the traditional family care that existed in all previous generations.  The dead of the Greatest Generation were rolling over in their graves already. </p>
<p>With higher taxes, most of the working class couldn’t afford to take care of extra family members anyway, so the next generation made no efforts to diminish Social Security or taxes. Instead, Baby Boomers stood idly by watching the Socialist Security program expand and taxes go up. </p>
<p>In the meantime, the public schools were being stocked with leftists of all sorts: liberals, communists, socialists, and atheists. These were the people that harbored deep resentment for a capitalist society, either because they couldn’t function in it, didn’t like its morals, or otherwise didn’t want any part of it. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that many of these were counterculture leftists that spent most of the 60s and 70s doing drugs and thus had no practical skills in a capitalist society. Many of them went into journalism as well, building a highly effective leftist propaganda machine on that end. They did, after all, know how to talk. </p>
<p>Either way, much of this collection of misfit leftists landed in public schools and universities. Those who couldn’t do, taught. And what they taught, besides reading, writing and arithmetic, was their leftist principles, including revisionist history.  </p>
<p>Those who reported spent most of their time bashing Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Their hero was President Carter, the worst ever US president until Obama*.  (* Personally I do not consider Obama to be a valid president, having been fraudulently elected and unable to prove his citizenship, but I’m trying to keep on point here.)</p>
<p>While most responsible Baby Boomer parents were working all day and making money to save for college tuition, their children were in school getting brainwashed by these irresponsible but principled leftists. Thanks to their parents’ hard work, they could receive further brainwashing in college.  Thus was born Generation X.  </p>
<p>X is a surprisingly accurate title, since it is a heavily divided generation.  Think of the X in terms of its two halves. </p>
<p>The first slash in the X represents many of them that grew up to become responsible adults, and shrugged off their communist teachings once they realized how the real world operates.  That is, one must contribute to society by participating in some form of business, whether as an employee, manager, owner, or night shift worker, in order to achieve some kind of wages. </p>
<p>The backslash in the X represents those that never shook their leftist brainwashing, and adhere to it to this day. They refuse to think for themselves, and instead believe only what their school teachers and communist media tell them.  They were taught that Ronald Reagan was an evil tyrant that tried to destroy the US by bringing down the Soviet Union and lowering taxes, and they believed it.  </p>
<p>While the right split of Gen X worked their butts off to make a paycheck, many had little time to pay attention to the brainwashing their kids were receiving, much less get involved politically. They left it to the public schools and the TV to raise their kids while they toiled all day to give their kids everything they wanted, including things they never dreamed of having when they were young.  </p>
<p>All this conspired to give Generation ME a deep sense of entitlement.  At school they learned that everyone should have according to his need, taking from those according to their means.  Then they came home and their parents gave them everything they needed and more, for nothing.  It was the ultimate reassurance that what they were being taught by the schools and the TV was correct. </p>
<p>In the meantime, the left split of Gen X was busy teaching, reporting, doing drugs, collecting welfare, and irresponsibly raising families of complete leftist losers, whose primary desire is to bring down the capitalist system and implement their Marxist utopia. </p>
<p>Thus Generation ME is comprised of children of the left split X communists and many socialists from the right split X parents that let the schools and media raise their children.  Collectively, this is the most left leaning generation in the history of the US, even though many came from conservative families. </p>
<p>If you tell them how communism killed millions of people under Stalin, Lenin, and the various Asian leaders, they will tell you unequivocally that it wasn’t really communism, and was corrupted by the bad men in charge. With the right people in charge (Obama) it will work. Redistribute wealth and everyone will be happy. Let government run everything and everything will run great.</p>
<p>This is what they believe. This is the scariest generation that you can imagine living on US soil. They faithfully believe in socialism and communism as they were taught, and they fully intend to implement it during their time.  </p>
<p>They are not adults, and they are not Americans. They are spoiled brats that believe that America is an evil country that has been run by rich greedy capitalists at the expense of the poor. They do not appreciate the concept that business owners are the people creating jobs in the US. They would rather have the government provide jobs. </p>
<p>Gen ME was raised to believe there is no God; that Government is the only higher power. Government should provide everything to everyone from cradle to grave: jobs, income, welfare, medical care, transportation, utilities, and whatever else you can think of.  They don’t care where it comes from. </p>
<p>All wealth should first be given to the Almighty Government, which can then decide how and when to redistribute or squander it.  Government should run people’s lives. </p>
<p>This is what they really believe.  To paint a scarier picture, consider that many of them have still not achieved voting age.  This problem will not go away anytime soon. </p>
<p>If you think going to the voting booth to push R buttons in November will solve the problem, consider that 2 more years of Generation Me will be in there pressing D buttons in hopes they won’t need a job.  </p>
<p>They still believe that Obama will provide everything they need, because he’s the right guy in charge. Stalin was the wrong guy.  Hitler was the wrong guy. Obama is the right guy. Communism will work under him, because he’s a good guy. </p>
<p>They are delusional enough to think Obama cares about them as well.  But caring isn’t part of the communist plan. The plan is for the ruling class to take wealth from the backs of the working class, and distribute it as they see fit, after keeping most of it.  It’s that simple.  </p>
<p>Generation ME:  selfish, ignorant, arrogant, irrational, delusional, and narcissistic. </p>
<p>Obama is their ideal messiah.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency .It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.&#8221; &#8211; author unknown</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_120" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 90px"><a href="http://realdealpolitics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/soros.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-120" title="George Soros" src="http://realdealpolitics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/soros.jpg" alt="today's antichrist" width="80" height="60" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">today</p></div>
<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard, and most haven&#8217;t because the media doesn&#8217;t bother to report news that they don&#8217;t want us to hear.  Obama has directed billions of taxpayer dollars to Brazil for an oil exploration that is also financed by George Soros, who stands to reap a huge profit in the deal.</p>
<p>Obama must feel sorry for George, his principal campaign financier, because poor George doesn&#8217;t have enough money.  This is another middle finger to the American people given by the Soros/Obama/Reid oligarchy.</p>
<p>If they&#8217;re for oil drilling, why won&#8217;t they let US companies drill for oil on our soil? Because that would be good for our country. It would create jobs and boost the economy, and give us oil independence from the terrorist-sponsoring foreign countries that we get oil from now.</p>
<p>You see, people like Obama and Soros are never happy.  They are miserable creatures that thrive on bringing as much misery as possible to the masses.</p>
<p>Soros is a sick freak that thinks billions of dollars will bring him happiness, if he can only make sure that few other people around him can even make ends meet. He is an evil, diabolical, disgusting excuse for a human being.  You can tell him I said that. The only reason I can bear seeing of saying his name is because I know he&#8217;ll spend eternity in hell, and he&#8217;s not exactly a young man, if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>How long will you let Soros destroy our country?  Will you stand up against him and his puppets in the White House, Congress, and the media?  Will you fight against the demise against the country that you know and used to love?  If so, stay tuned. The revolution is beginning.</p>

<p><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GOP Takes Ted Kennedy’s Senate Seat</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Republican Scott Brown has just defeated Massachusetts state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the race for the vacant US Senate seat left by Ted Kennedy.<span> </span>In an upset of monumental proportions, Brown is the first Republican to win a Senate seat in the heavily Democratic state in 30 years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1 in the state &#8212; 37 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans and 51 percent are unaffiliated. Obama won the state by 26 percentage points in the 2008 presidential election, which gives you a clue how the “unaffiliated” usually vote.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just one month ago, Brown trailed in the polls by 30 points, which he cut in half to 15 points two weeks ago, indicating that he had “a steep hill to climb.”<span> </span>Then, several days before the election, he suddenly had a slim lead in the polls.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, in what is being called “the Scott heard around the world,” Brown has won the Senate seat with 53% of the vote to his opponent’s 46%.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Five years ago the late Ted Kennedy successfully lobbied for a bill that enabled the state to call for a special election if a US Senate seat in Massachusetts was abandoned, in case fellow senator John Kerry won the presidential election.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the time, Republican Mitt Romney was the governor of Mass., and would have certainly appointed a senator from the GOP, as was his right to do so as a special appointment. <span> </span>Needless to say, Kerry did not win and the law was unnecessary.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ironically, the law came back to haunt Kennedy in his last days.<span> </span>Realizing his terminal cancer, he pled last year for the state to revert the law to call for a governor’s appointment, since the governor is now of the Democrat party.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Had old Ted left it alone to begin with, the special election would have never happened, and his seat would almost certainly have been given to a Democrat of his approval.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Democrats are now scrambling to point fingers and trivialize the election, but this is a state that has voted solid blue for decades in all national elections, for president and congress.<span> </span>All of the state’s other congressional representatives are Democrats, as they have been for decades.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First of all, Coakley ran a poor campaign.<span> </span>She had an air of arrogance, refusing to stand outside Fenway stadium and shake hands because it was &#8220;too cold,&#8221; misspelling her state’s name in a campaign ad, and assuming she would win just because she’s a Democrat in perhaps the most Democratic state. <span> </span>She also made fun of Scott Brown’s truck, and called Curt Schilling a Yankees fan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since their coup in 2008, the Democrats have lost major elections for governor positions in Virginia and New Jersey, both of which have gone blue in recent elections.<span> </span>Their only victory since then was a House position in New York’s heavily Democratic and liberal 23<sup>rd</sup> district.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In that race, liberal Republican candidate Scozzafava, who agreed to support the Democratic agenda in Congress, failed to gain GOP support for obvious reasons.<span> </span>Doug Hoffman entered the race as a third party conservative, losing by only 2% of the vote to Democrat Bill Owens.<span> </span>Had the RINO candidate withdrawn as she should have, instead of taking 5% of the vote, Hoffman would have won.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But Democrat Nanny State Pelosi recognized that as a huge victory, while ignoring the reality that the Democrats were losing much larger elections in other states. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If a Republican can win a US Senate seat in Massachusetts, he can win anywhere. <span> </span>If the Democrats don’t change their tune soon, they will continue to lose major elections.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Democrats may lose as many seats as they lost in 1994, when the arrogance of the Clinton administration and his congress caused over 50 congressional seats to change parties. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you will recall, Newt Gingrich took the nation back and put us on the right track. It was after that Republican revolution that congress introduced welfare reform, huge spending cuts, and balanced the federal budget.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keep in mind that the Clinton administration and his congress were not nearly as arrogant, condescending, and defiant as the current administration, although Hillary did also want to pass universal health care.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The arrogance today is off the charts, along with the blatant lies.<span> </span>The “transparent government” hasn’t happened, spending hasn’t decreased, but rather increased by $1 trillion in Obama’s first year, and universal health care promises only a larger federal budget.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The promise of tax cuts for all wasn’t kept either, but a tax hike in the form of letting Bush tax cuts expire, is definitely on the board.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They promised more jobs, but despite major increases in spending and pork in the form of the Stimulus Bill, we only have increased unemployment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Democrats and media have ignored repeated calls directly by the people in the form of Tea Parties and other peaceful rallies, and polls showing that they are in disagreement with the people. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If 58% of the people are against the health care plan, and only 37% are in favor of it, then why do they continue to try to push it through?<span> </span>Arrogance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obama’s approval numbers continue to go down, now below 50%, and Congress can’t even muster half of that. Yet they continue, defiantly on their socialist course, spitting in the face of the American people.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Democrats have only themselves to blame.<span> </span>You reap what you sow.<span> </span>The Americans are now rebelling against the government. We don’t want more socialized health care, more taxes, and more spending.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The people are speaking.<span> </span>If the government still doesn’t hear us now, they surely will in November.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Updated: December 8, 2009</p>
<p>In light of new uninhibited and reckless federal spending by the Obama administration and his pet commies in Congress, I figured it was time to update this page.</p>
<p>The actual budget for this year is $3,997,800,000,000, but for the sake of this discussion we will round up to an even $4 trillion.  I feel confident that those in the White House and Congress will find a way to spend another $2 billion even if it is not officially designated yet.</p>
<p>First, what does the government spend per average working days and hours of government employees, assuming they actually work their full hours, which they don&#8217;t.  Here are the statistics: </p>
<pre>
Total this year	$4,000,000,000,000	4 TRILLION!!
Per month	$333,333,333,333	$300 Billion!
Per work day	$20,000,000,000		20 Billion!
Per work hour	$2,500,000,000		2.5 Billion!
Per work minute	$41,666,667		41 Million
Per work second	$694,444		2/3 of a Million!
</pre>
<p>It has been proven, by the way, that light can not travel faster than $100,000 per second&#8230;</p>
<p>Just to be fair, let&#8217;s see what it looks like for a 365/7/24</p>
<pre>
Per actual day		$10,958,904,110	$11 billion!
Per actual hour		$456,621,005	450 million
Per actual minute	$7,610,350	7 million
Per actual second	$126,839	more than avg salary
</pre>
<p>As an added bonus, what is the federal government spending per person?</p>
<pre>
Per person	$13,072	Population 306 million
Per taxpayer	$74,074	Approx 54 million liable
</pre>
<p>Now, before you get on my case about these figures, there were about 90 million individual tax filers last year, and it is estimated that 40% of them have zero tax liability. So per <em>actual </em> taxpayer, they are spending $74,000 per year.</p>
<p>This raises another question entirely. You then realize that those actually paying taxes are averaging $74k in their donations to the US government, while the rest pay nothing.</p>
<p>Perhaps if everyone paid taxes, i.e. fair tax or flat sales tax, this scenario would be a little more fair for everyone.</p>
<p>Another question might be: WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GETTING FOR THE $13,000 THEY&#8217;RE SPENDING ON EACH PERSON?  Personally I&#8217;m not getting anything back&#8230;</p>
<p>Prior version: February 5, 2008</p>
<p>Now someone sent me the following today, and I checked out the math, it works. However, given that the federal government does not work 365/7/24 (trust me I’ve worked in govt for a while), let’s calculate how much only during working days/hours. The spending rate is astronomical. This doesn’t even count state/local govt&#8230;</p>
<p>Per Year            $3,100,000,000,000<br />
Per Working Day    $15,500,000,000<br />
Per Work Hour    $1,937,500,000<br />
Per Work Minute    $32,291,667<br />
Per Work Second    $538,194</p>
<p>Half a million per second? I’m not sure but I don’t think light can move that fast. Hillary, Obama, and Mccain think our taxes aren’t high enough. OK well.  Agree to  disagree.</p>
<p>Original email:</p>
<p>Know what the federal Government spends:</p>
<p>per second?    A:           $ 98,300<br />
per minute?     A:      $ 5,898,021<br />
per hour?        A:   $ 353,881,279<br />
per day?         A: $ 8,493,150,685</p>
<p>per year . . .  $ 3,100,000,000,000   (George Bush&#8217;s 3.1 Trillion!!)<br />
(Anyone complete their Federal Form 1040 return yet?)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The stock market is up this year? You’ve got to be kidding me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Early last year, I saw the writing on the wall. The economy was starting to dive, which is never good for the incumbent party in the White House. Many voters would soon turn to democrats to solve the economic problems, which is never a good plan. <a href="../2008/11/06/the-democrat-coup-how-did-this-happen/" target="_blank">These were the same democrats that caused most of the economic problems</a>, by the way. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I knew intuitively that Hillary or Obama would be the next president, and it didn’t much matter. With control of both the White House and Congress, it wouldn’t take them long to tax and spend as much as possible, both of which do nothing but harm to the economy.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In January 2008, I pulled 75% of my retirement account out of the mutual fund market and placed it into a fixed income fund. In March, the unwinnable candidate Mccain had locked up the GOP nomination. By June, I had it all in fixed income, while most others continued to hold out some irrational hope that the stock market would suddenly get better.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The result: I protected about 90% of my retirement account, while others were only able to maintain only 50-70% of their funds.<span> </span>I was right about it last year, and I’m right about it now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s hard to believe that history is already repeating a year later. The stock market is now being driven by false hope and empty promises, and has actually rebounded to where it was at the beginning of the year. But this market can not possibly sustain growth for an entire year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Look at the major economic indicators:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unemployment rate:<span> </span>up to 9.6% from 6% a year ago. Hundreds of thousands of jobs lost every month</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GDP:<span> </span>dove -4% last quarter and has been in negative territory all year, after years of positive growth</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wealth: Personal family wealth decreased by $16 trillion from June 2007 to March 2009</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Housing:<span> </span>Foreclosure rates have doubled over the past year, despite the bailout plans</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Credit cards:<span> </span>Defaults have also doubled over the past year</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alright, so more people are losing their jobs, losing their homes, losing their businesses, defaulting on loans, and in general losing their money. How is the stock market increasing?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Look around your hometown. Have you ever seen more houses for sale as there are now? How many small businesses have closed their doors? I’ve been traveling, and I see them in every town, door after door of long time mom-and-pop shops, closed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps the people that still have some money are putting it into stocks hoping some kind of get-rich-quick scheme will get them out of their current debt. The ultra-rich and criminal fund managers are happily taking people’s money and pocketing lots of it while allocating investments in stocks that will certainly take a nose-dive any day now. They’re not getting my money, that’s for sure.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another idea is the counterintuitive: Warren Buffett and other uber-rich investors have made their money off buying when everyone else is selling. Perhaps this small percentage of investors that have a large percentage of the wealth are driving the bubble right now. Fine, let them win or lose their own money. They don’t need yours.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The United States economy is in dire straits right now. Keep in mind that the Obama administration has increased the deficit by over a trillion dollars during his first 6 months in office. They are also on record to “<a href="../2008/11/10/obamas-95-tax-cut-and-election-explained/" target="_blank">let the Bush tax cuts expire</a>.” This means that in 2010, they will raise taxes on people that pay them. 2010 is not far off.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If all the major economic indicators are pointing in the same direction except for one, which do you believe?<span> </span>Clearly, the stock market is not following the rest of the economy right now. Therefore, it must be an aberration.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The important aspect to remember about the stock market is that it is heavily dependent on the economy as a whole. Growth of business, jobs, wages, and housing is what causes real growth of the stock market. If the other growth factors are not present, then the stock market can not sustain growth.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In fact, what we have now is the opposite: destruction of businesses, jobs, wages, and housing. Therefore the stock market can not possibly continue on an upward trend for very long. It may take the official announcement of increased income taxes next year for the bubble to pop, or it may be before then.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you were one of those hopeful investors that kept your money in the market, figuring you couldn’t sell low, and you were getting a good bargain, get it out now while you have recovered what you had at the beginning of the year. It’s all downhill from here.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The economy will continue to tank until the communists running the government are out of office. It could be during next year’s election that we eradicate most of these big-government fascists in Congress, which will help. In mid 2011, real economic growth may be possible again, but more likely it won’t be until late 2012 when the chief executive communist is voted out of the White House.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Communists have one major purpose: to destroy the wealth of the working and business classes, and keep that wealth for themselves. They are doing a damn good job of it. But <a href="../2008/11/14/obamas-agenda-will-we-survive/" target="_blank">we will survive Obama’s communist agenda</a>, if we manage our money wisely.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bottom line: this stock market is doomed for the near term. But the good news is that you got some of your money back if you kept it in the markets last year. If you did, take your money and run, and hide it somewhere that the commies can’t get at it. Plan on reinvesting once capitalists run the country again.</p>

It’s right there in the US Constitution, Article I, Section 11. The whole thing is covered, you just have to look it up. It’s that easy. Amazingly, I also found [...]]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal">After hearing much ado about the “public option” on the news and so forth, I was confused, so I looked it up, and found it! <span> </span>It’s right there in the US Constitution, Article I, Section 11.<span> </span>The whole thing is covered, you just have to look it up. It’s that easy. Amazingly, I also found the section on abortion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Section 11: <span> </span>The Public Option</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every person residing in the United States shall be entitled to health insurance. Although such indemnity does not exist yet, we know that it will in the future. At that point, the government shall see to it that every person living in any of the states shall have health insurance, regardless of their status as a citizen of that state or of the nation. <span> </span>This is known heretofore as the Public Option.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently we are each responsible for maintaining our own health, but we realize that this notion is simplistic and naive. In the future we will need a major bureaucratic socialist government program to manage individual health plans for all people in the United States.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The federal government shall not deny Universal Health Care to any person for any purpose, including but not limited to: <span> </span>race, religion, sex, citizenship status, slavery status, intelligence, career choices, drug addictions, mental illness, sexual preference, or favorite music and television programs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exceptions:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>1.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->End of Life Council: The government shall maintain an End of Life Council (commonly known as the Death Panel) to determine which people in old age or with terminable diseases should live or die. People deemed expendable shall be euthanized on authorization of the Death Panel.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>2.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Unborn children shall have no rights whatsoever, not the right to live, nor the right to a fair trial to determine if they should live or die based on whether they have followed the law. Their fate shall be solely determined by their respective mothers.<span> </span>See Section 12.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>3.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Christians can take care of themselves; in fact they can go screw themselves while they’re at it. We know that this nation was founded by Christians and that we are all Christians writing this document, but we also realize that we are selfish, domineering, and overbearing interventionists that have no business running this or any country. We should all die.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>4.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->People that eat fried food, or other foods deemed unhealthy by the Food Panel, shall pay a higher tax for their government health insurance than other people that live healthier lives.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span><span>5.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Any conservative that is not able to work and pay taxes anymore shall be put to death. We have no further use for these know-it-all, overassertive, authoritarian bastards (like us).</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0in;"><em> </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Section 12:<span> </span>Abortion<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, abortion is a Constitutional Right. We have it written right here in Article I.<span> </span>We wouldn’t have included it unless we wanted to make it perfectly clear that any woman has the right to abortion without cause or delay.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has been hereby resolved that the unborn have no rights whatsoever, not the right to live, nor the right to a fair trial to determine if they should live or die based on whether they have followed the law. Their fate shall be solely determined by their respective mothers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A woman may abort a child for any reason, at any time, including but not limited to: <span> </span>inconvenience, financial issues, dislike of children, retardation, barbarism, suicidal tendencies, drug problems, or simply a desire to get revenge on the person that impregnated them. We know that any time a woman has sex it is technically rape anyway.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exceptions: Do not attempt to abort the child after it has fully emerged from the womb. At that point, it suddenly becomes a human entity and is thus entitled to Universal Health Insurance and other rights afforded to every person except for Christians, conservatives, and old or diseased people. Make sure to abort the child while at least part of it is still inside the womb, for now.<span> </span>We are still working on a way to delete children that have been born, but having a difficult time with the justification thereof. We hope in the future some brilliant minds in the government can figure this out.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s just great. They won the election, but started violence anyway. Now, imagine what they had done if they had lost the election? Not just cute little Annie, but many of us would have been in danger of assault.</p>
<p>Riots by the Black Liberation movement were promised before the election, about what would happen if Obama lost.  Fortunately for our temporary safety from the racists within our country, he did not lose.</p>
<p>Of course, in the long run, we have sacrificed our safety, electing an inexperienced radical as president, who believes we can appease our enemies to achieve national security. Hundreds of years of history have shown that this doesn&#8217;t work, but who needs real history?</p>
<p>What the public schools and universities have taught us is that America is evil whenever it defends its borders and people.</p>
<p>Hardly anyone in this country had a racial problem with Obama. We&#8217;re past that. What we have a problem with is his radical socialist agenda and appeasement philosophy. In other words, a threat to capitalism and a threat to our national security.</p>
<p>The reason I point this out, is that you may not hear about it from anywhere else. Imagine if a black student got attacked by white people for supporting Obama.  We&#8217;re talking headlines, every major national news organization, for weeks.  The attackers would be lucky to make it to court before being hanged by a public lynch mob.</p>
<p>This occurrence of racism will be overlooked by the &#8220;mainstream&#8221; media, because they want you to believe that only white people are evil and racist. But the facts indicate otherwise.</p>
<p>Congratulations to racism for turning the tide in the election. Hatred and divisiveness have prevailed over common sense and common ground.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just glad that young Annie&#8217;s life was spared in the vicious attack. It takes more bravery than you might think, to wear a Palin or Mccain button at one of today&#8217;s universities, which teach hatred, racism, and communism, among other skills that are not helpful in life or society.</p>
<p>For those that wish to continue in courage, don&#8217;t despair. I encourage you to bring up the debate in the public square, in the dorm, in the schools. If you feel your life is threatened, feel free to use the right to bear arms to defend yourself. For now, we still have that right, until the Obama administration takes it away.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Obama, Reid, and Pelosi: Weathering the Storm</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst the presidential election results are parsed and explained elsewhere in this site, we still need to interpret their meaning.<span>  </span>Allow me to shed some light on the issue.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The election of Obama may seem to indicate a mandate of change, but what change is that? As explained in other articles on this site, the Obama administration has a radical far-left socialist agenda that includes the following:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Higher      taxes for businesses, businesspeople, and most people that pay taxes</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Increased      handouts to those who don’t pay the income tax and don’t work</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">FOCA:      Freedom of choice act to allow abortions without question in all      situations</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">An act      to overturn DOMA: the defense of marriage act requiring 1 man, 1 woman</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Overturning      the 2<sup>nd</sup> amendment right to bear arms for individuals</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Appointing      only radical unconstitutional judges with litmus test of pro-abortion</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Preventing      new oil drilling and nuclear plants to ensure foreign energy dependence</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Leaving      <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iraq</st1:place></st1:country-region> a      quagmire by taking our troops out before it is resolved</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Expand      government provided social welfare to new heights</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Create      a massive income redistribution program run by the bureaucrats in DC</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Increase      federal government spending for all social programs</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Decrease      defense spending</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Appease      enemies by having friendly talks and letting them do whatever</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Get      rid of all our nuclear weapons</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s a very frightening agenda by most standards. Next, we have to look at what the people actually voted for on specific issues:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Lower      taxes (many believe in the 95% tax cut impossibility)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">AGAINST      homosexual marriage acts in all states, including CA who elected Obama</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">To      protect our borders against illegal foreign invaders</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other than the vote for Obama, it doesn’t look to me like people voted for a radical communist, leftist, or socialist agenda. It looks like people voted for lower taxes, less corporate welfare, and an end to the <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iraq</st1:place></st1:country-region> war, and they thought Obama could provide that. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the question remains, will President Obama attempt to implement his radical far left agenda, or will he govern from the center as the people have voted? <span> </span>So far all signs are in favor of the radical agenda. Obama may have run as a populist, but he is so far to the left that he must be classified as a communist.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Senator Reid and Rep Nancy Pelosi are far left individuals too. Note how all the leaders of the Democrat Party are. This is why they failed to win the Presidency in 2000, despite a strong economy and incumbent VP, and in 2004 despite an unpopular incumbent President whose position on the global war on terror baffled most people who have forgotten 9/11 already and were brainwashed by the media.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They thought they had won out with Bill Clinton, telling him to run as a moderate and then unleash the far left socialist agenda.<span>  </span>However President Clinton, always putting his own popularity first, didn’t want to push any unpopular measures and continued to govern as a populist, enraging the leftists, including his wife, but keeping him in good standing with moderates, Democrats, and even many Republicans.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alas, the Democrats have their radical president. They dressed him up, gave him some talking points and told him to run as a populist who will protect the little guy. He even stole the tax cut issue from the GOP! <span> </span>The only thing stopping him from enacting the left’s communist agenda will be his own ego. There will be a backlash against raising taxes on anyone making under $250k, most of which are middle class.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If Obama is to enact the radical socialism, he will have to deal with a middle class revolt and increasing unpopularity, just like Jimmy Carter faced. If he continues with his appeasement policy towards our enemies and they begin attacking our people on our soil, people will become disgruntled and eager to show him the door, similar to President Carter. If our economy continues to tank like it did under Carter, the Misery Index will encourage people to fire him at the earliest possible time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">President Obama now faces the most serious decision of his life, and has two choices:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Stand up for the communist principles he has been taught and espoused his entire life, and enact a radical socialist agenda, raising taxes on businesses and working people, and increasing social welfare via wealth distribution; appeasing our enemies and show weakness in foreign policy.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Work towards his own popularity, govern from the center, and try to find common grounds between the left and right, and work to bring them together and try to make the ends meet. Continue the strong measures on foreign policy and the national security that we have had since the fateful terrorist attacks on 9/11.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Choice 1 would results in the most failed and unpopular presidency since Carter, which will result in a single term administration that will go down in history as a political and economic disaster of Carter proportions, that will take years to recover from. Remember, it took the economy four years just to recover from President Carter, and more to start improving again.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Choice 2 would result in a steady increase in Obama’s popularity, and ensure at least some success of his administration. It might even get him re-elected once he has the faith from people on both sides, that the radical agenda is not being pursued. This would also increase the respect that other counties have for our country and its President.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What will it be, President Obama? Fame or Infamy.</p>
