The Enemy Within the Gates is in Washington DC

Anyone who would vote for Barack Obama (and his Progressocrats) this November understands nothing about economics, national interests, American sovereignty, World History, or American ideals.

Either that, or they simply don't care about America.

Bill Whittle exposes the corruption and insidious agenda of the Obama Regime:

Former East German describes where America is headed

When I was a young, clueless, anti-establishment type in the early 70s, I had a flirtatious infatuation with marxist theory; it sounded like a "fair" and viable socio-political economic system for a large agrarian-based population.

Then, I learned that in any "real world" situation involving human nature, there is often a big difference between something sounding good in "theory" and how it works in "practice."  Free-market capitalism isn't "perfect"---because it involves "imperfect" people.  But it works a helluva a lot better than any other political economic system: to create the greatest amount of prosperity for the greatest number of people, with the greatest amount of freedom.

Would someone please inform our President that history has proven that government-delivered socialism and the nationalization of industries and resources DOESN'T WORK!

Voter ID Laws Prevent Fraud: So why are Obamacrats against them?

» Brown: Voter ID Laws Protect Electoral Process » Commentary -- GOPUSA:


"...It did not matter to the DOJ that an estimated 160,000 to 333,000 non-citizens were illegally registered to vote in Texas in 2008. But then again, this is the DOJ of Attorney General Holder — who was all about repressing the white vote when he dismissed the Black Panther Party case -- because he thought it demeaned "my people." With that in mind, no one should be surprised by Holder's state-by-state whack-a-mole game to exterminate voter ID laws..."

David Cameron Sees the NHS Handwriting on the Wall

The UK's nationalized healthcare system chickens have come home to roost:


(excerpted from)
Why the UK Is Ditching Socialized Medicine
Posted by Bio ↓ on Feb 20th, 2012
"There is more than a little irony attached to the Obama administration’s determination to pursue socialist, EU-style “solutions” to America’s problems, even as the European Union is coming to grips with the bitter realities such socialism produces. And while Greece and its financial problems receive some media coverage in the United States, there is a much bigger story flying under the mainstream media radar: in Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron has introduced a bill seeking to partially privatize the National Health Service (NHS). Why? Because the British government is “hoping to avoid a Greek-style financial meltdown.
[...]
Cameron
refuses to back down, insisting there’s too much bureaucracy in the system, and that it interferes with patient care. “If we were as good at treating cancer as the average European country, we would save 5,000 lives a year,” he contended. He further noted that reform will create “a fair system that stops the private sector from picking off contracts and the public sector from providing an inflexible monopoly.” Yet he insisted that “health care for all, free at the point of use, unrelated to the ability to pay” will remain the animating features of the system..."

Excerpts from The Handbook of Liberal Logic



"The fabric of American society is actually made stronger by "progressive" public policies that encourage retention of ethnic-identity---and provide for public accommodation of diverse subcultures---than by traditional "melting pot" policies that encourage enculturation and assimilation."

"If someone's idea of "legal marriage" is confined to the union of one man to one woman---and they oppose any legal re-definition---then that person is either a homophobe or a religious bigot. Everyone has a human right to marry whomever they choose."

"It is far better to permit hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to move freely about in AZ than to allow the possibility that even one hispanic citizen or legal immigrant might erroneously be asked to show ID."

"AZ SB-1070 is merely an attempt by white Republicans to legalize racism in Arizona. The same tactic was attempted in California in 1994 with Prop 187."

"The right to be openly gay while serving in the military overides any consideration for unit cohesion and effectiveness."

"If America ends its alliance with Israel---and we stop fighting Islamic terrorist groups abroad---then jihadists will no longer have any reason to attack us."

"The passage of any new law that restricts everyone's liberty is "worthwhile"---and "justifiable"---if the new law could possibly save just one person's life."

"Only white people can be racist, because only "white people" have the power to be racist."

"There is an entire spectrum of human gender between male and female. Transgenderists simply want to exercise their basic human right to imagine a sexual "self-identity" that's different than their actual biological gender, and to be able to act it out in public."

"Morality is simply a tool of right-wing oppression. There is no such thing as right or wrong."

"If someone opposes government-controlled, universal health care, then they must be a racist."

"Wealthier people should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than everyone else because they can more easily afford to pay taxes, and because they benefit more from public spending than anyone else. Besides, in order for "the rich" to have accumulated their wealth, somebody---"somewhere"---had to have been "exploited" (at some time).

"If we outlaw handgun ownership, there will be a lot less crime, and people will stop killing one other."

"National borders are simply artificial lines on a map: They were created by the global capitalist-elites---who control all governments---in order to suppress solidarity and unionization of the working masses of the world."

"Socialism simply means that "the Government" acts on its duty to take care of everyone---and to make us all more equal. It's the cornerstone of bringing about social justice in America."

Exercising the 10th Amendment could stop ObamaCare


State's Rights could trump ObamaCare
Posted by Michael Laprarie
Published: March 13, 2010 - 9:58 AM

Earlier this week, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed House Joint Resolution 1054, by Reps. Mike Ritze and Mike Reynolds, tentatively titled the "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act."
[...]
Sadly we live in an era where proponents of an increasingly powerful Federal government have largely succeeded in turning the phrase "state's rights" into a euphemism for "racism." Because big government liberals portray themselves as the champions of progress and justice, they always view any attempt to oppose bigger government as a de facto defense of greed, injustice, and white power.

Of course any mandate by the Federal government that would force citizens to buy anything under penalty of law is simply outrageous, and deserves to be challenged on the merits of individual freedom alone. However, we should expect proponents of a Federal health care mandate to once again characterize exemption amendments by individual states as "racism," most probably by resorting to their standard "women, minorities hardest hit" argument.

Is the USA becoming another European Union?: What Obamacare has in common with the Lisbon Treaty

"The political classes do not think that they are there to do as the people want; the aim is to get the people to do as the politicians want."

Sound familiar?: Think Obamacare and the Democrat regime.

"Poll after poll tells us that the British people do not want to be signed up to the Lisbon treaty, that if there was that referendum we were promised then the result would be a resounding no. Polls with a slightly different question, should we leave the EU altogether, also show a majority in favour of leaving the integrationists to their own devices. We’ll be quite happy trading with everyone, co-operating where necessary and desirable, but we don’t want to be part of this political union: the only form of Europe that is currently on offer. The majority are eurosceptics but unfortunately most politicians disagree with their own voters."

The EU is ignoring the will of the people

Poll after poll tells us that the British people do not want to be signed up to the Lisbon treaty, but our political masters carry on regardless, says Nigel Farage.

"We believe, and polls back us up in this belief, that the majority of people in this country wish to work with the EU on many issues – they just don’t want to be part of a political union. That is the essential position that must be debated, not dismissed by being linked to thuggish extremists."



David Cameron must still hold a EU referendum, Tories say
(excerpts below from Nov 2009 article)

David Cameron must still hold a referendum on Britain’s wider relationship with the European Union even after abandoning a promise of a vote on the Lisbon Treaty, Tory eurosceptics have said.

By James Kirkup, Political Correspondent
Published: 5:31PM GMT 03 Nov 2009


"Instead of a referendum on Lisbon, Mr Cameron will promise to renegotiate some parts of the EU rulebook, arguing that control over some social and employment rules must be returned to the UK."

"European lawyers say that repatriating powers from the EU is extremely difficult, because it would require the unanimous agreement of all 26 other member-states."

Once the "member-states" hand political and legal power over to "the Federation", it is exceedingly difficult for any individual member-state to get their power back (without formally seceding from "the union"). Sound familiar?

Meet the New OBAMACORN---Same as the OLD OBAMACORN



September 2009

STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN?

OBAMA: You know, if -- frankly, it's not really something I've followed closely. I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Both the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.

OBAMA: You know, what I know is, is that what I saw on that video was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're not committing to -- to cut off the federal funding?

OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to.



But just how extensive are---and were---President Obama's personal ties to ACORN?

read the entire well-researched and documented answer here.

And, just how bad is the (inter)national organization known as ACORN?

"A report from the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform states that ACORN "has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate."

Since 1994, ACORN has received more than $53 million in federal funds, according to the report.

"Under the Obama administration, ACORN stands to receive a whopping $8.5 billion in available stimulus funds. Operationally, ACORN is a shell game played in 120 cities, 43 states and the District of Columbia through a complex structure designed to conceal illegal activities, to use taxpayer and tax-exempt dollars for partisan political purposes, and to distract investigators. Structurally, ACORN is a chess game in which senior management is shielded from accountability by multiple layers of volunteers and compensated employees who serve as pawns to take the fall for every bad act," the report said.

The report continued, "Lobbying is a substantial part of what ACORN does. It has endorsed Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Representative Albert Wynn (D-MD), and Representative Donna Edwards (D-MD). ACORN keeps donor records from the Clinton, Kerry and Obama campaigns with the intent to engage in prohibited communications. ACORN receives federal funding yet engages in improper lobbying. ACORN and its nonprofit affiliates do not have separate accounts. Neither ACORN nor any of its affiliates have properly reported their political activities to the IRS. These harms fly under the legal radar because the IRS rarely checks for compliance. The 'no substantial part' test is rarely enforced and the accounts of ACORN and its affiliates are illegally commingled." "

So, now that ACORN is breaking apart it's national organization into different regional organizations---with new names---what has changed about the fundamental way they conduct themselves?

"The national organization is still led by Chief Executive Bertha Lewis, who previously headed the New York City chapter. She's working to institute recommendations from a December report that came out of a two-month internal investigation by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger.

“We'll continue to speak out on the issues we have worked on for years, although we're doing it with diminished capacity,” the spokesman said."

Something tells me that not a whole lot will change---as long as the Obamacrats are still in power.

White House promises left: Illegals will be eligible for ObamaCare after we give them amnesty

During his famous ObamaCare address to both Houses of Congress, Obama wasn't "technically" lying about "illegal aliens" not being covered under his proposed plan, because he knew he was planning on granting legal status to them in 2010. There's more than one way to skin the American taxpayer.

excerpt from:

White House promises left: Illegals will be eligible for ObamaCare after we give them amnesty by Allahpundit at HOTAIR.com

[...]

Like Joe Wilson, I was worried for awhile that he might try to extend federal benefits to illegals, but now that I know he’s planning to wave his hand and magically legalize them first, I feel better.


Lawmakers who want to extend health coverage to illegal immigrants will not block the passage of the final health care reform bill so long as the White House offers a substantive promise to start pushing comprehensive immigration legislation this year…


A source familiar with the negotiations between Congress and the White House told TPMDC the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will demand an agreement from Obama that health care coverage for illegals who earn a path to citizenship will be addressed in an immigration bill…


Those familiar with the talks say any immigration legislation will include various amnesty provisions to allow for health care coverage.
