Today's List of Articles for the Politically Conscious

Below are a list of websites with articles I would like to draw your attention to, today.  RATHER than post separately, I've just posted this once.

Obama Adm. Hit With $43 Trillion Lawsuit 
Bad news for Obama -  MarketWatch has reported that the Spire Law Group’s homeowners’ lawsuit, pending in the federal court in Brooklyn, New York,  known as the largest money laundering and rackateering lawsuit in U.S. history,  have identified the $43 trillion of laundered money by the “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners and joint ventures. ~~ Are You Going To Bring This Up So That It Is IN The Congressional Record?  http://www.franklincountyvapatriots.com/2012/11/08/obama-adm-hit-with-43-trillion-lawsuit/

Watchdogs Question Obama Donor Influence in ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Meetings
Supporters of President Obama who maxed out personal contributions to his campaign or the Democratic National Committee, or helped bundle hundreds of thousands of dollars more, have been seated at the table in every publicly-announced post-election White House meeting with “business leaders,” according to lists released by the administration. ~~~ Sounds like collusion to me and I am fairly sure that it's unlawful.

The Fiscal Cliff: Another Crisis the Dems Won’t Let Go to Waste 
...despite the fact that our problems arise from too much spending, and despite the graphic warnings daily issuing from Europe where the wages of unrestrained spending and extravagant entitlements are obvious, Obama and the Democrats have nothing to offer but class warfare magical thinking about making the rich “pay their fair share,” and vague promises of future spending cuts that history shows us never materialize. The “fair share” meme, of course, is a dodge. By any objective standards, the “rich” already pay more than their fair share.

UNION LEADERS, OCCUPIERS WANT MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE IN FISCAL CLIFF DEAL
According to NYU Local, "labor advocates and some economists insist that a permanent fix must include higher wages," and because labor unions were instrumental in helping Obama win reelection, they may pressure the president to increase the minimum wage.

TAKE NOTE OF THIS 
FISCAL CLIFF IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOP TO UNDO TARP MISTAKE 
TARP, or the Troubled Asset Relief Program, was more a symbolic gesture to calm the markets rather than a real and immediate solution. Half of the money was not even spent until President Barack Obama took office nearly three months after the bill’s passage in October 2008. Much of it was mis-spent to reward Wall Street cronies; the head of the FDIC, Sheila Bair, now says that TARP was not necessary in the first place.

The solution to Fiscal Problems:  Reduce the size and scope of Government and you could easily cut spending and reduce waste and duplication.  It will be 'painful' but all surgery is.

Dr Charles Krauthammer Esquire

Dr. Charles Krauthammer

He is an M.D and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down.. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st.. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults.. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.


Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Obama Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism.. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal.. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada .

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but governs from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights..

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance.. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late

Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

10 Facts Every American Should Know

10 Facts Every American Should Know About Speaker Pelosi's 1,990-Page Gov't Takeover of Health Care, By Representative and GOP House Leader John Boehner



Washington, Oct 29, 2009



Members of Congress and the American people are just beginning to look at Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) 1,990-page government takeover of health care, but it’s already becoming clear just how costly and unsustainable this proposal is. From higher taxes on middle-class families to job-killing mandates on small businesses to cuts in Medicare benefits for seniors, here are 10 facts every American should know about Speaker Pelosi’s 1,990-page government takeover of health care:



1. RAISES TAXES ON MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill imposes a range of tax increases on families with income below $250,000, breaking a promise made by President Obama. Tax increases on middle class families include: an individual mandate tax of up to 2.5 percent of income for taxpayers earning as little as $9,350; repeal of a tax break on medicine purchased with funds from an HSA (health savings account); limits to tax relief through FSAs (flexible spending accounts); taxes on medical devices that will inevitably be passed on to consumers; and a new tax on all insurance policies.



2. MASSIVE CUTS TO MEDICARE BENEFITS FOR SENIORS. Despite grave warnings from CBO, FactCheck.org, and the independent Lewin Group that cuts to Medicare of the magnitude included in Speaker Pelosi’s bill would have a negative impact on seniors’ benefits and choices, Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill stays the course and cuts Medicare by hundreds of billions of dollars.



3. NO PROTECTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill claims to exempt small businesses from the steep eight percent ‘pay or play’ employer mandate. The facts tell a different story. Using Census data compiled by the Small Business Administration, this so-called ‘exemption’ hammers small employers with only, on average, 17 or more employees to new taxes and mandates. The outfits affected employ 70 percent of all small business employees, or 42.3 million workers. Adding to the assault on small businesses, the bill does not index the small business “exemption” amounts, meaning more and more small businesses will be ensnared by this job-killing employer mandate each year.



4. INCREASES THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE. Imposing a new $2 billion tax on insurance policies will be passed on to patients in the form of higher premiums. Changes to the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit will, according to estimates by CBO, will raise Medicare Part B premiums by $25 billion and Part D premiums by 20 percent. And imposing an unfunded mandate on the states to pay for the bill’s Medicaid expansion will shift the burden of this expansion on state taxpayers who may experience tax increases to cover the cost.



5. USES GIMMICKS TO HIDE BUDGET-BUSTING COST, PILES UP DEBT ON FUTURE GENERATIONS. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill claims to be deficit neutral, but uses budget gimmickry to hide its massive total cost. Working families across America know they cannot simply decide that a bill they get in the mail doesn’t exist, but that’s exactly what congressional Democrats are doing. In order to meet the President’s ‘target’ spending total of $900 billion, Democrats have simply swept costly provisions under the rug, including the $245 billion ‘doc fix.’



6. IMPOSES JOB-KILLING EMPLOYER MANDATES. Additional taxes on employers and new government mandates that dictate acceptable insurance will place new and crushing burdens on employers. These are burdens that will ultimately fall squarely on the backs of workers in the form of reduced wages, fewer hours or lost employment. CBO agrees that "[e]mployees largely bear the cost of... play-or-pay fees in the form of lower wages." According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s largest small business association, an employer mandate of this magnitude will disproportionately impact small businesses, triggering up to 1.6 million lost jobs. Two-thirds of those jobs would be shed by small businesses.



7. TILTS THE PLAYING FIELD IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT-RUN INSURANCE COMPANY. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill promises not to give the government-run plan advantages over private insurers in the market, but the opposite is true. The bill provides billions in start-up funding for the government-run plan, and while it requires the plan to repay the money over time it does not require the plan to pay interest on this “loan.” This interest-free, taxpayer-subsidized loan is potentially worth millions of dollars and tilts the playing field in favor of the government-run plan.



8. THREATENS CASH-STRAPPED STATES WITH UNFUNDED MANDATES. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill swells the number of Americans on the government rolls by expanding Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is financed through a federal-state partnership, but the bill dumps nearly ten percent of the mandated expansion included in the bill onto the states. States, already struggling with fiscal constraints, would be left on the hook for billions of dollars due to this unfunded mandate.



9. CREATES A NEW MONSTROSITY IN THE TAX CODE. Starting in 2011, Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill imposes a 5.4 percent tax on adjusted gross income above $500,000 for individuals and $1 million for married couples. Yet, the dollar amounts for which the tax kicks in are not indexed for inflation. We’ve seen this horror film before: the Alternative Minimum Tax, another Frankenstein’s monster of the tax code, also wasn’t indexed for inflation and now affects millions of middle class families with incomes below the Democrat’s surtax.



10. MISSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO CURTAIL JUNK LAWSUITS. Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill misses a critical opportunity to rein in junk lawsuits and costly defensive medicine. The bill includes only a voluntary grant program to deal with the medical liability crisis instead of including real reform, which would produce tens of billions of dollars in savings, improve efficiency in our health care system and reduce costs for patients and providers.



BONUS: Republicans have offered better solutions to lower health care costs and expand access to quality, affordable coverage at a price our nation can afford. Learn more by visiting healthcare.gop.gov.

Indicators that John McCain has never been a Conservative

A LIST OF REASONS WHY CONSERVATIVES SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO JOHN S McCAIN and why the Media loves him so much.

The Real McCain Record

Obstacles in the way of conservative support.



By Mark R. Levin




The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider:



McCain-Feingold ‐ the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.



McCain-Kennedy ‐ the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.



McCain-Lieberman ‐ the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry ‐ through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases ‐ in American history.



McCain-Kennedy-Edwards ‐ the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.



McCain-Reimportantion of Drugs ‐ a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).



And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric ‐ tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.



As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.



McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees.



And then there’s the McCain defense record.



His supporters point to essentially one policy strength, McCain’s early support for a surge and counterinsurgency. It has now evolved into McCain taking credit for forcing the president to adopt General David Petreaus’s strategy. Where’s the evidence to support such a claim?



Moreover, Iraq is an important battle in our war against the Islamo-fascist threat. But the war is a global war, and it most certainly includes the continental United States, which, after all, was struck on 9/11. How does McCain fare in that regard?



McCain-ACLU ‐ the unprecedented granting of due-process rights to unlawful enemy combatants (terrorists).



McCain has repeatedly called for the immediate closing of Guantanamo Bay and the introduction of al-Qaeda terrorists into our own prisons ‐ despite the legal rights they would immediately gain and the burdens of managing such a dangerous population.



While McCain proudly and repeatedly points to his battles with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had to rebuild the U.S. military and fight a complex war, where was McCain in the lead-up to the war ‐ when the military was being dangerously downsized by the Clinton administration and McCain’s friend, former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen? Where was McCain when the CIA was in desperate need of attention? Also, McCain was apparently in the dark about al-Qaeda like most of Washington, despite a decade of warnings.



My fingers are crossed that at the next debate, either Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will find a way to address McCain’s record. (Mike Huckabee won’t, as he is apparently in the tank for him.)



‐ Mark R. Levin served as chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese in the Reagan administration, and he is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host.

If We Do Not Sow The Seeds

From The Five Thousand Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen, 30th Anniversary Edition, with Forward by Glenn Beck, American Documents Publishing, LLC, Franklin, TN. Part 1; The Founders Monumental Tasks, page 19.



Franklin noted that "there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government." He said it gives people the illusion that somehow a king will establish "equality among citizens; and that they like." Franklin's great fear was that the states would succumb to this gravitational pull toward a strong central government symbolized by a royal establishment. He said: "I am apprehensive, therefore -- perhaps too apprehensive -- that the Government of these States may in future times end in a monarchy. But this catastrophe, I think, may be long delayed, if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction, and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit." (Albert Henry Smyth, ed., The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, 10 vols., The Macmillan Company, New York, 1705-1907, 9:593; modern spelling.)



Take note of the last part of that sentence: If in our proposed system we DO NOT SOW the seeds of contention, faction, and tumult, BY MAKING OUR POSTS OF HONOR PLACES OF PROFIT. Emphasis mine.

Conclusions

I have come to the conclusion that Republicans in general are afraid of confrontation and conflict. They're wussies. They afraid of being attacked personally for the skeletons in their closets.

Democrats on the other hand wear their indiscretions as badges, thinking that it's an honor to be a thief, a whore monger or pro-killing-unborn-babies. They bait those who do not agree with their philosophies and then try to chew them up and spit them out in degraded heaps of human-dung.

Why are Republicans like this? Simple if you spend a few days contemplating all the potential and possible reasons, actually. Republicans are awash in an agendaless sea. The Republican leadership thinks that they can gain more members by becoming all encompassing and "centrist" or luke-warm on issues. Republican leaders think that by becoming "Democrat light" they will win over some of the more conservative Blue Dog Democrats. They know they'll never win over the Yellow Dog Democrats.

The Democrats look at the Republicans and snicker. Democrats have become the party of Socialism by appropriating social activism and when comparing it to capitalism; describing it as the opposite as if there can be no capitalism in social activism and no social activism in capitalism.

And both Parties are destroying the moral fiber of the USofA. To make the Republican Party stronger, the Legislators and their staffs must immerse themselves in the writings of The Founding Fathers. To get the correct mind set, they must study what was happening in American and World History at the time the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Federalist Papers were written. They must be able to argue forceably using direct quotes from The Founding Fathers. And they must be alert to the Democrats' ploy of twisting conversations around to become attacks on the person who is speaking rather than on what the person is saying. The Democrats will have no argument to counter anyone who is speaking the truth and using direct quotes from The Founding Fathers. The Republicans must reprimand any Democrat who publicly or privately attacks the personality or character of any Republican. Or of any conservative. This behavior must not be tolerated.

And Republicans MUST NOT ATTACK EACH OTHER in public. A quiet meeting behind closed doors where those who disagree discuss their disagreements and their similarities and resolve their differences is more in keeping with the Founding Fathers' example.

I recently read that there is no one in the USofA who teaches Constitutional Law and that those who teach or have taught classes in Constitutional Law always have had a personal agenda, usually a liberal agenda. Mostly they tried to make The Constitution a "living document." Well, just like the Ten Commandments, The Constitution is set in stone. It's not 'dead' by any means, but it is not something that can be bent and twisted by those with an anti-Constitution agenda. There are no "10 suggestions" and there is no pick and choose Articles and Sections.

What is WRONG in Congress right now . . . and has been for over 100 years, is that Congress has not confronted UnConstitutional legislation and branded it as such. To save our Republic, Congress MUST insist that every piece of legislation pass the "Constitution smell test." And if it doesn't walk like the Constitution, talk like the Constitution and smell like the Constitution, the bill must be scuttled before it reaches the Floor of the House or the Senate.

And I'm passing this along to Chairman Steele, Sen. McConnell and Rep. Boehner and copying it to my other "pages" online.

Rise Up For America, Senator McCain

It's The Democrat's Fault We're In This Financial Mess!

New RNC Chair and Other Information

Letter sent to Sens McConnell and Kyle and Reps Boehner and Cantor as Republican Leadership in Senate and House.

A new day is dawning in the Republican Party. The RNC has elected its first Roman Catholic, Pro-Life, Chair. And he happens to be black. Unlike the Democrats, he was elected because of who he is and what he stands for and not because of the color of his skin. It's a proud day for Republicans.

What this means for Republicans is that we can now stand firm on a Traditionally Conservative Agenda. The new RNC leadership will lead the way. It is up to Republicans in Congress to close ranks with the RNC and stand strong, shoulder to shoulder, supporting what is good and right and just about the USofA.

Please get the Senate Republicans to stand together and vote against the current administrations attempts to 'bail out' or 'stimulate' the Economy. Please get Republicans to stand together against the current administration placing in positions of power (Cabinet, et al) Democrats who have checkered backgrounds (at best) and have broken the laws of the land with impunity and are allowed a "mea culpa" out of legal action.

Please counter the current administration with the facts about the cost of the various Bills and who eventually gets the money. Try to get this information into the Congressional Record. Please bring to the forefront all the facts about candidates the current administration brings to Congress for positions of power. Try to get this into the Congressional Record. (Cabinet now, Judicial later.)

It is a new day and a good day for Republicans. If Republicans in Congress will stand together against the current administration's Bills, any failure of those Bills will rest solely on the shoulders of the Democrats and the current administration. If a failure cannot be blamed on "bi-partisanship" and from there on the Republicans, the voters will have to face the fact that "it's Obama's fault."

It is the right time for Republicans to vote against Democrat initiated Bills. It is the right time for Republicans to say "no" to requests for adding a Republican name to a Democrat Bill to make it "bi-partisan." Please remind those Republicans who are infamous for "bi-partisanship" that NOW is not the time to play with the Democrats. There will be time later, but for right now, for at least the first 100 days of the current administration, the Republicans would do well to allow all the Bills in Congress to be passed (if they are) solely by Democrats with no Republican votes.

Thank you,

Retired

PS: http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=87622 I would ask Republicans in Congress to "recuse" themselves (if at all possible) in an effort to have any legal action taken against Congress for not vetting the Democrat President fall entirely at the feet of the Democrat Party, the DNC and Democrats in Congress. This Lawsuit should be allowed to be brought before the Court and the Democrats, DNC, and Democrats in Congress should have to answer the charges.

Quotes from Pres. James Madison (1809-1817)

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." --James Madison

Additional Quotes from James Madison

All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

In Republics, the great danger is, that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the minority.

It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.

Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.

The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy.

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived.

The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.

The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.

The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.
