If you are an American, I don't care which party you are a member of (well, except maybe the Communist party). For just this week only, and I don't care if you like him or not, you need to watch Glenn Beck on Fox News. I only ask this week (the end of August). For both fans and non-fans, your duty is to have a notepad and take notes. This is to verify or disprove what he asks and says this week.
This is important. He has uncovered quite an interesting and disturbing thing happening to our nation. He is having Democrats on his show who are just as concerned about what is happening as are the conservatives on his show. This isn't some sort of Republican rant. In fact, he is just as angry with them as he is those that are selling out our country with a nefarious goal in mind. He holds everyone (that is) responsible in this case.
Frankly, he's rattling his sword and the government is trying everything to discredit and silence him. Which is a very good sign he's on to something that is true.
Glenn asks you to prove him right or prove him wrong. It's so important you know the truth he challenges you to do it out of duty as a citizen of the USA. He doesn't claim perfection, nor does he ask you take his word for it on everything. He tells you he came to know this and backs up his claims with the truth. No belittling, no slander, no so-called "hate speech", no racism, just the facts and some very hard hitting questions.
So far, he has exposed the fact that our President has appointed self-admitted Marxists to be his "Czars" and such, and that the "Apollo Group" wrote the "Stimulus" package. Yeah, a group of people with Marxist values wrote our economic stimulus for our capitalist economy. What doesn't add up here? Since when have Communists known anything about capitalist economies? Glenn's research shows that they want high unemployment, and large debt, so it overwhelms the government with welfare and debt to cause it to collapse. All the "stimulus" has done so far is to increase unemployment and fund organizations like Apollo. So, the "stimulus" was written to stimulate Apollo with taxpayer funds.
Set you DVRs for this show at least for this week. Inside Passage, I know this will be hard for you, but hear him out. Pay less attention to his personality and more attention to what he is asking and saying.
To give you a hint at how important this is. Yesterday I heard something I would not have believed would happen ever, no matter even if Jimmy Carter were President. Rush Limbaugh, ultra-conservative, finally came out with what we all knew, and he was not happy saying it. Rush Limbaugh called our government, as Obama has finalized it, not a socialist government, but a fascist government.
This is not about race, so get over it. It's about what is being done to our Republic.

Those that missed it: go to Blenn Beck's web site and watch the videos you missed this week to catch up. Prove him wrong, I challenge you.
Go here for the questions to ask and find out if he's full of crap.
Here is a rule everyone with common sense would recognize as being sensible. When someone uses all of their powers of hatred, propaganda, vitriol, smears, and lies against someone or a claim is false, you can count on the fact that what they (the person they are trying to destroy) are saying is true. The difference between righteous indignation and full on hateful anger is as simple as right and wrong.
When a group of people or government do not want the truth to shine, they will use every means within their power to belittle, slander, libel, threaten, and lie about those spreading the truth about their lies. Those simply angry with those telling lies will simply point their lies out and tell the truth. The liars, will be wailing and gnashing their teeth with great fervor. It always happens, and has been happening for centuries.
For example, this out right lie called ObamaCare, has its supporters and its opposers. The opposers are attending so-called "town halls" and merely asking why certain things that are in the bill are being forced upon us. The reaction is typical of someone attempting to hide a lie. They either:
- Deflect the question by simply saying "that's a lie" even though they know it's true.
- Deflect the question by making an unfounded accusation against the one asking the question (you work for an insurance company).
- Avoid the question by staging fake "town halls" and only have prepared questions asked by those usually designed to bring sympathy rather than truth (children).
- Deflect the questioner by directly threatening them with physical force (SEIU or Acorn thugs).
- Broadcast on TV propaganda known to be quite full of lies, and easily provable as such.
- Intimidate those in opposition by collecting names of those in opposition and instilling fear with threats of home, family, and property (more thugs).
- Lie and say everyone is in support (the so-called scientific "consensus" of "Global Warming" is a convenient excuse from debate for example).
- Get your media friends to bully those in opposition echoing your claims (MSNBC, CNN, etc.)
- Make the opposition's life a living hell by threats, false accusations, numerous frivolous lawsuits to bankrupt them etc. Kind of like what they are doing the Sarah Palin.
These tactics usually work ... until people stop backing down and have had enough of their crap. The so-called "new" views of "progressives" and "liberalism" are not new at all. In fact, they are the oldest ideas passed down throughout the centuries, except just packaged in a new name and a new pretty wrapping. What they preach has brought down great nations. Has halted innovation and science, even though they claim allegiance to science. Their message of only smart people (intellectuals) know better how to govern than the peasant people. Their message of so-called "free" programs such as welfare, health care, etc. have always been the means of enslaving a populace. They think the people are too stupid to govern themselves, so they devise ways to sneak in methods of control under the guise of "fairness" or "equality" or the "environment" or a "crisis" or even "charity" to accomplish their designs.
History has overwhelmingly proven that an oligarchy of snobs brings misery to every populace, Such practices never bring the best out of people, nor does it breed harmony. Liberty, is the biggest enemy to those who desire full control. Never has an oligarchy achieved control by telling the truth. Yet, what happens is they summon support by those they have convinced are "victims" of society, or those sympathetic to that message to achieve their designs. It is done quickly, so as to prevent the individual from analyzing it; as it would fail a common sense and logic test quite easily when scrutinized.
Socialism doesn't improve lives. It never has. In fact, throughout its history it has brought only equal poverty and equal misery. Those that support socialism and Marxism don't understand it. Those that do understand Marxism, are those that fervently oppose it, because they understand it doesn't work and only brings out the worst in people and governments. Karl Marx wasn't a genius, he was a naive moron.
Things like the television, personal computers, personal cell phones, video games, choice in the grocery store, the automobile, organ transplants, miracle medicines, and so on didn't come from Marxist or socialist societies and nations. They came from individuals with the liberty and incentive to develop such wonders. The world was dirt roads, horses, and wagons for THOUSANDS of years. What changed the world in a little over 200 years? It was LIBERTY. Liberty means you choose how you live and there's only enough law to prevent someone else from eliminating your liberty, the rule of law, a Republic. The new idea (notice "new") that if people were allowed to be free to live their lives and conduct commerce as they pleased with those in power on there to protect them from others and enforce common sense laws, then greatness would come. In that short period of time, the world changed.
Technology, medicine, hygiene, life expectancy, travel, science, everything that would be considered magical or wondrous just 200 years ago we have now because of Liberty, not socialism, not an oligarchy of know-it-all snobs, but of individuals living their lives as they see fit to live it without government interference.
Rome had wondrous technology and innovations when they were a Republic and the people were free. When the public demanded more handouts and freebies (because corrupt senators knew it was an easy way to keep their job and get money), a crisis ensued and a usurper gained power and called himself Emperor. It took a while for Rome to fall, but they did. They tossed away their liberty for so-called "safety" and handouts. It happened with the Greeks, the Anglo-Saxons, Mexico, and many more great civilizations of the past.
Those that lie and usurp power always do it with a great orator that claims they will take care of them, they will make "change", they will punish the "rich" etc. Unfortunately, the rich are the ones that give the jobs.
Notice how Obama's "change" is creating more and more unemployment and misery? Notice how Obama and his supporters have put this nation into so much debt that it will be almost impossible to pay it, almost as if they are trying to topple the economy to replace it with something else? If you don't see this, then you must be either stupid or blind.
Does the left think that once a powerful government has its claws set, that things like protesting and environmental issues will make a difference with it? No, they were just a means to an end, that end being control. Does the homosexual lobby think that social medicine is going to treat people that have a lifestyle that is known to be susceptible to HIV and disease, and does not reproduce? They are blind if they think so. When you eliminate the individual in favor of the collective, you eliminate any causes you may support if it doesn't support the "collective good".
When you support the government going into people's houses and telling them how to live, you also support that happening to you too, and believe me, it will happen. When a government encourages its populace to report "suspicious activity" you become suspicious too, and it can used as a weapon against you should you become someone's enemy.
You see, when you help the government tear down others in opposition to bad policy, you invite them to do it to you some day. Oligarchies have no friends, ask the friends of Lenin (oops, he killed them), or Castro, or Chavez, or Caesar, none were friends, all feared them, even those who used to support and helped them to where they were or are now are either dead, exiled, or in prison. When you know an oligarchy's weaknesses, you become expendable.
Those that support socialism have no understanding of people or of how economies work. Hence, it is why they always always always fail. They have the arrogance to think they know better than individual. Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, are all just synonyms for slavery. In fact, Abraham Lincoln once said, "Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." Change his word "slavery" to social medicine or socialism, and the meaning is the same. Notice how the President and Congress have conveniently left themselves out of the social health care? They know it's bad and they think themselves above the (stupid or ignorant) people.
Abraham Lincoln also said, "Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." If only those in support of socialism and ObamaCare understood these common sense principles, our world wouldn't be in the state it is in now.
Those with valid arguments and truth use facts to back them up as proof. Those with lies use threats, hatred, vitriol, slander, distraction, libel, physical threats, and verbal threats to hide their lies. If Obama and his congress weren't lying to us, they'd simply use the bill itself to prove those, speaking against it, wrong. They aren't, as they know the opposition is exposing their lie.
So I say this, knowing I am right. President Obama, his advisors, his friends, and the Congress are LYING TO YOU about government health care and everything else (in the past year) so far. The reasons for stimulus? A lie! The reasons for taking over banks and other private businesses? A lie! All are lies, and the people are raising their voice against it, the easier it is to see the government's lies. Their attempts at shutting people up, just prove it more. Their cries of racism? All lies, both white, black, Asian, Arab, Indian, Native American, Latino, Polynesian, all see their lies. People aren't angry at Obama's race. They are angry with his lies, and what he has already done to this nation to destroy it and turn it into something nobody intended. You can't hide the truth forever.
So my friends, when the wicked wail and gnash their teeth at you, throw hatred, lies, and vitriol at you; when the very powers of hell conspire against you, know then you are telling the truth and the truth will always prevail.
To those that try to stop the truth from being told, a wise old President once said, "This
country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can
exercise
their Constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it.", yes, Abraham Lincoln
Be revolutionary, vote these liars out of office. Make Obama impotent. Vote people in that will hold him to the Constitution. Which, by the way, is his duty, and the only thing that gives the President his authority. Anything else is illegal.
And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as “The One”. He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, “I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed.”
And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what “The One” would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed “Yes We Can”.
And “The One” said “We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!”
And the people said, “Hallelujah!! Change is good!”
Then He said, “We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,”—- And the people said “Sock it to them!” “—- and “Redistribute their wealth.”
And then He said, “Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody”
And the people said, “Show us the money!”
And Joe the plumber asked, “Are you kidding me? You’re going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??”
And “The One” ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe’s personal records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.
One lone reporter asked, “That shouldn’t be, isn’t that Marxist policy?”
And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, “With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?”
And “The One” said, “Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!”
And the people said, “Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!”
Then “The One” said, “I shall give 95% of you lower taxes.”
And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don’t pay ANY taxes.”
So “The One” said, “Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!”
And the people said, “Hallelujah!! Show us the money!”
Then “The One” said, “I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!”
And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.
And He said, “I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited health-care and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics.”
And the people said, “Give me some of that!”
Then he said, “I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas.”
And the people said, “Where’s my rebate check?”
Then “The One” said, “I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit!”
And the people said, “Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don’t care for that part about higher electric rates.”
So “The One” said, “Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn’t enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!” “Only the fat cats will have to pay.”
Then He said, “Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let’s grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing…”
And the people said, “Hallelujah!!” And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products. Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.
So “The One” again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries. “The One” said, “I am the “The One” - The Messiah - and I’m here to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!” “Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy.” And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.
And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto “The One”, “Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more.. for everything.. as your dollar becomes worth less.”
And the people said, “Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!”
And the world said, “Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you shall play by our rules!”
And “The One” said “Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!” “We will listen.”
And the people cried out, “Alas, alas!! What have we done?”
But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon “The One” and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that “The One” had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, “Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!”
But it was too late, and the once-glorious “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” was no more..

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it’s not. It’s happening RIGHT NOW, Already—- everything down to the last couple of lines….
Andrew McCarthy, a man with genuine BALLS. A well respected former Federal Prosecutor by both parties, who served under two Presidential administrations (Clinton & Bush), received the Attorney General's Special Service award (by Janet Reno), author of "Willfull Blindness" (a book about his prosecution of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman the leader of the first World Trade Center attack), poignantly turns down an in invitation by Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration to participate on the "roundtable" Presidential Task Force on Detention Policy for enemy combatants.
Mr. McCarthy says it plainly, cites law, and gives logical and intelligent reasons for his refusal.
Now if only we had Congressmen this willing to stand up for their country. If anyone questions the Tea Party movement, we'd honestly say that this man should be leading it. His sentiments and reasoning are exactly why there is a Tea Party movement. We are sick and tired of a government running afoul of the highest law of the land, the U.S. Constitution. It is the very document that gives them their authority, and yet they disregard it, thinking their newer laws trump it. No, they are governed by it. The pigs have broken into the garden and are gorging themselves. They need to be put back in the pens where the Federal government belongs.
The Federal government answers to the US Constitution and the States. It is clearly written down and is clearly the LAW. A law the Congress and Administration clearly ignore. That is incompetence and blatantly tyrannical.
The US Constitution is this country's Highest Law, not the Congress, not the President, and most certainly not any foreign law. It is what made this country great. It is not a "living" or "breathing" document. It's just as valuable now as when it was conceived, and conceived by much more intelligent men than are in our society now. It is what brought the world out of the dark ages. It is what made our modern world possible. It was the liberty that document guarantees.
Andrew McCarthy knows this better than many people, as the law is his specialty, and representing the people was his duty. Duty to the people, a concept the current Federal government has no grasp or concept of.
Here is Mr. McCarthy's reply to that invitation:
Andrew McCarthy's Letter to Attorney General Holder
May 1, 2009
By email (to the Counterterrorism Division) and by regular mail:
The Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Attorney General of the United States
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
Dear Attorney General Holder:
This letter is respectfully submitted to inform you that I must decline the invitation to participate in the May 4 roundtable meeting the President’s Task Force on Detention Policy is convening with current and former prosecutors involved in international terrorism cases. An invitation was extended to me by trial lawyers from the Counterterrorism Section, who are members of the Task Force, which you are leading.
The invitation email (of April 14) indicates that the meeting is part of an ongoing effort to identify lawful policies on the detention and disposition of alien enemy combatants -- or what the Department now calls “individuals captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations.” I admire the lawyers of the Counterterrorism Division, and I do not question their good faith. Nevertheless, it is quite clear -- most recently, from your provocative remarks on Wednesday in Germany -- that the Obama administration has already settled on a policy of releasing trained jihadists (including releasing some of them into the United States). Whatever the good intentions of the organizers, the meeting will obviously be used by the administration to claim that its policy was arrived at in consultation with current and former government officials experienced in terrorism cases and national security issues. I deeply disagree with this policy, which I believe is a violation of federal law and a betrayal of the president’s first obligation to protect the American people. Under the circumstances, I think the better course is to register my dissent, rather than be used as a prop.
Moreover, in light of public statements by both you and the President, it is dismayingly clear that, under your leadership, the Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct. Given that stance, any prudent lawyer would have to hesitate before offering advice to the government.
Beyond that, as elucidated in my writing (including my proposal for a new national security court, which I understand the Task Force has perused), I believe alien enemy combatants should be detained at Guantanamo Bay (or a facility like it) until the conclusion of hostilities. This national defense measure is deeply rooted in the venerable laws of war and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in the 2004 Hamdi case. Yet, as recently as Wednesday, you asserted that, in your considered judgment, such notions violate America’s “commitment to the rule of law.” Indeed, you elaborated, “Nothing symbolizes our [administration’s] new course more than our decision to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay…. President Obama believes, and I strongly agree, that Guantanamo has come to represent a time and an approach that we want to put behind us: a disregard for our centuries-long respect for the rule of law[.]” (Emphasis added.)
Given your policy of conducting ruinous criminal and ethics investigations of lawyers over the advice they offer the government, and your specific position that the wartime detention I would endorse is tantamount to a violation of law, it makes little sense for me to attend the Task Force meeting. After all, my choice would be to remain silent or risk jeopardizing myself.
For what it may be worth, I will say this much. For eight years, we have had a robust debate in the United States about how to handle alien terrorists captured during a defensive war authorized by Congress after nearly 3000 of our fellow Americans were annihilated. Essentially, there have been two camps. One calls for prosecution in the civilian criminal justice system, the strategy used throughout the 1990s. The other calls for a military justice approach of combatant detention and war-crimes prosecutions by military commission. Because each theory has its downsides, many commentators, myself included, have proposed a third way: a hybrid system, designed for the realities of modern international terrorism—a new system that would address the needs to protect our classified defense secrets and to assure Americans, as well as our allies, that we are detaining the right people.
There are differences in these various proposals. But their proponents, and adherents to both the military and civilian justice approaches, have all agreed on at least one thing: Foreign terrorists trained to execute mass-murder attacks cannot simply be released while the war ensues and Americans are still being targeted. We have already released too many jihadists who, as night follows day, have resumed plotting to kill Americans. Indeed, according to recent reports, a released Guantanamo detainee is now leading Taliban combat operations in Afghanistan, where President Obama has just sent additional American forces.
The Obama campaign smeared Guantanamo Bay as a human rights blight. Consistent with that hyperbolic rhetoric, the President began his administration by promising to close the detention camp within a year. The President did this even though he and you (a) agree Gitmo is a top-flight prison facility, (b) acknowledge that our nation is still at war, and (c) concede that many Gitmo detainees are extremely dangerous terrorists who cannot be tried under civilian court rules. Patently, the commitment to close Guantanamo Bay within a year was made without a plan for what to do with these detainees who cannot be tried. Consequently, the Detention Policy Task Force is not an effort to arrive at the best policy. It is an effort to justify a bad policy that has already been adopted: to wit, the Obama administration policy to release trained terrorists outright if that’s what it takes to close Gitmo by January.
Obviously, I am powerless to stop the administration from releasing top al Qaeda operatives who planned mass-murder attacks against American cities—like Binyam Mohammed (the accomplice of “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla) whom the administration recently transferred to Britain, where he is now at liberty and living on public assistance. I am similarly powerless to stop the administration from admitting into the United States such alien jihadists as the 17 remaining Uighur detainees. According to National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, the Uighurs will apparently live freely, on American taxpayer assistance, despite the facts that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization and have received terrorist paramilitary training. Under federal immigration law (the 2005 REAL ID Act), those facts render them excludable from theUnited States. The Uighurs’ impending release is thus a remarkable development given the Obama administration’s propensity to deride its predecessor’s purported insensitivity to the rule of law.
I am, in addition, powerless to stop the President, as he takes these reckless steps, from touting his Detention Policy Task Force as a demonstration of his national security seriousness. But I can decline to participate in the charade.
Finally, let me repeat that I respect and admire the dedication of Justice Department lawyers, whom I have tirelessly defended since I retired in 2003 as a chief assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. It was a unique honor to serve for nearly twenty years as a federal prosecutor, under administrations of both parties. It was as proud a day as I have ever had when the trial team I led was awarded the Attorney General’s Exceptional Service Award in 1996, after we secured the convictions of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and his underlings for waging a terrorist war against the United States. I particularly appreciated receiving the award from Attorney General Reno—as I recounted in Willful Blindness, my book about the case, without her steadfastness against opposition from short-sighted government officials who wanted to release him, the “blind sheikh” would never have been indicted, much less convicted and so deservedly sentenced to life-imprisonment. In any event, I’ve always believed defending our nation is a duty of citizenship, not ideology. Thus, my conservative political views aside, I’ve made myself available to liberal and conservative groups, to Democrats and Republicans, who’ve thought tapping my experience would be beneficial. It pains me to decline your invitation, but the attendant circumstances leave no other option.
Very truly yours,
/S/

Way to go Andy! You are a true American, not a Republican, not a Democrat, just a loyal American with honor and integrity.
Recently, the jackass the slight majority of voters in the United States of America voted into the office of President (you know, the one that didn't have any executive experience, that said he was going to "repair our image in the world" etc.) did what no other President in our history has done to date. He successfully and without regret or sorrow insulted and offended our greatest and strongest ally in the world, the United Kingdom.
What did he do? Well, considering our mainstream media molly-coddles this President and tries everything to protect him, you wouldn't have heard the story here in the United States. However, we have other means and a lone honest media called FoxNews which reported it plainly. Our new President didn't make one "simple" mistake, oh no, he layered insult on top of insult.
First, he snubbed Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister, not once, but twice; by refusing a joint press conference which is traditional and a sign of friendship and solidarity, and by refusing the customary respect and honor by throwing a state sponsored dinner or banquet.
To add insult to injury, he asks (tells) that the UK take back the gift of a bust of Winston Churchill given to the USA as a symbol of solidarity after the attacks of 9/11. This was the equivalent of telling France to take back the Statue of Liberty!
Finally, Prime Minister Brown offers the United States of America (not just our President) a gift full of historical meaning, a hand crafted pen made out of the wood from the USS Resolute to match the desk in the Oval Office. This desk and that ship have grand historical meaning. The USS Resolute was a symbol of two nations turning from enemies or fighting sisters, into two friends with grand respect for each other. The time the USA and the UK became allies and were reconciled. What did our President do? He offered him a box of DVDs some guy got at the local video store at the last minute. These DVDs don't even play on equipment in the UK. What an insult!
Prime Minister Brown had to have been shocked. He thought Obama to be a kindred liberal spirit like himself. What he didn't understand about Obama, is that he is so liberal and so indoctrinated with Marxist teachings that Prime Minister Brown represented a country Obama has been taught to hate from those he had associated with, like Bill Ayers etc. Obama would rather talk to and give gifts to the Taliban, Iran, Cuba, etc. They represent the types of society Obama believes reflects his Marxist ideals. Anyone that does not support his socialist/communist agenda are just in the way.
Obama is loved in Europe. Simply because of their liberal media. They only get one side of a story. It always seems that Europe falls in love with the worst types of leader, especially Germany. The UK has always been a Europian anomoly with their support of the USA and its Presidents. Unfortunately, instead of seeing through the B.S. like they were usually good at doing, they got suckered into the image of "saviour" that Obama's PR team has been so successful at projecting, even to where Obama himself believes it. This time the UK learned a lesson the hard way. Fortunately, they learned early enough and can finally see what the right in the USA has been trying to show people that Obama is not what he claims to be, and is a wolf in saviour's clothing. He's not just trying to force socialism on our nation, but the whole world.
With all of that said, I know that there are at least 54 million citizens of the USA that want the UK to know, we appreciate them and their heart felt gifts of friendship and solidarity.
To:
Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
His Excellency, Prime Minister Gordon Brown
The Great and Wonderful People of The United KingdomWe the People of the United States of America offer our deepest and sincerest apology for the rude and inconsiderate behavior of our President, who's duty it is to represent us, the people and not his own personal agenda. He has clearly fooled everyone, which is our fault and responsibility. However, we want you to know how your gifts of solidarity and friendship have meant a great deal to us, despite his rude and inconsiderate behavior. We also ask that instead of keeping your gift of the bust of that magnificent man, Winston Churchill, that you please preserve it until we have earned it once more and can appreciate it properly. We first must clean our own house of the scum and rabble we have allowed into it, in all three of our major houses of our Federal government.
We ask for your understanding and patience, and we make only one simple request. That is, to help expose those that would want to bring down both of our forms of freedom and liberty. We have never needed an ally more than now. Previously we have come to your rescue on more than one occasion, and have stood together, resolute in our friendship many times after. We now ask for your help to keep us free from tyranny this time. We have allowed the wolves into the barn, and now they are gorging themselves on power and making changes and policy we're afraid may not only damage our nation, but the world.
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,
The People of The United States of America (at least 54 million of them)
Congratulations on your coup. You have successfully convinced a bunch of idiots about how you are going to rescue them in their irresponsibility and stupidity, give them money they did not earn from those that worked hard for their money, and made promises you immediately broke in your first week of office. It's amazing how charisma, charm, and articulate speech, which makes some liberal newscasters get tingling in their legs, got you, a Chicago sleaze-bag politician nobody, into the most powerful position in the world.
We all know you don't care that your cabinet selections all should be in jail for tax evasion, because of your example, they know they are better than the rest of us. They have succeeded even where Al Capone failed. Good work!
Now that you got the rest of your comrades with enough power to do whatever you tell them to do, you can now begin to form this country into something you, and your teachers (Bill Ayers, Saul Alinski, Reverend Wright, etc) taught you to do. You've been following Saul's formula to the letter, and so far it has been successful. Your plans of ruining the capitalist economy to force a global currency is well on its way. The technique's that Saul taught you to convince people to allow you to turn over private ownership to the government looks to be succeeding as well. We all know that in order for this to succeed, you have to get it done before everyone realizes what you are really doing; and that's socializing America. After all, you know better than some primitive idiots back in the 1700's about how people should live and be allowed to live. Everyone know that intellectuals that sit in Univerisities all their lives know more about the world than those that actually have to work in the system.
Now of course there's the constant preaching of comrades to force the rich to pay more taxes and allow that money to be given to those that didn't earn that money. It was a good idea to make them look like the bad guys, even though it's the rich that give jobs to others. It's almost funny how they preach about this and yet don't pay taxes themselves. Al Capone would be impressed!
You have succeeded in having been the first President to have more sleaze-bags and crooks in his administration than any previous, including the Clinton and Nixon administrations combined! Well done!
However, what impresses me the most, is how you are paying off those that funded your campaign and carreer, by calling it a "Stimulus Package". How masterful! You have been able to put together a veritable Christmas bags worth of useless liberal gifts to organizations and other things that have absolutely nothing to do with stimulating the economy. You have successfully put together a full pork package, without anything useful to hide that pork other than a name! You have, with sweet talking, and emotion, been able to tell the citizens of the United States of America to go to Hell, and yet are making them look forward to the trip! Genius!!
If the country is still around after your first term, I'm anxious to see what other methods you'll use to sieze power from the people. Heck, Joseph Stalin did it, and the people cheered for him. Adolf Hitler did it, and the people would cry at his speeches even get tingling up their legs when he spoke. If you can keep this up, then surely you can sieze even more power and property to finally make this a socialized Utopia, and since the UN and world population depends so much on America, they'll fall right in, and then you'll finally be able to prove that socialism works, even after it has always failed previously. The key here being there will not be a competing system to destroy it. How clever!
I am also impressed at how you have, with your comrades, distracted the populace from religion by supplanting it with a false religion. The religion of Global Warming and environmentalism. A very clever way to gain control of private enterprise while distracting the populace with fear and lies. I mean seriously, you've got them convinced that small cars and wind power will solve all problems. I was impressed with your statements claiming people had to get rid of their gas guzzlers, turn the heating down to 68 degrees, use florescent bulbs, and use tire gages to combat the climate demons. I love how you put yourself above everyone else by driving a brand new GM limo with super heavy metal plating and the largest gasoline engine GM makes that barely will get 6 miles to the gallon, then you crank up the heat in the oval office to 85 degrees because you're from Hawaii and as we all know, all Illinois politicians from Hawaii deserve special treatment and don't have to live the standards they preach. I mean, you're the President and they are just the people clinging to their religion and guns. They couldn't possibly think for themselves. They need someone to tell them how to live and what to do. It was Vladimire Lenin that said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth", and you have the news media in your pockets. Well played!
I love how your minions are blind to the obvious truth and have chosen to unconditionally follow you to the ends of the Earth. They have a knack for excusing criminal behavior in their fellow comrades and call it forgivable mistakes, yet when one opposes them on the radio, for example, they will try every means they can to shut them up and censor them. We both know the truth must never be exposed. After, one of your contemporaries of the past, Adolf Hitler, said, "The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one. ... What luck for rulers that men do not think!" Your friends in Hollywood have been quite successful at distracting the populace from thinking.
I may want to point out something though. Americans have a reputation for not accepting authority forced upon them for a long period of time. You see, unlike Europe, whos population, until recently, was used to a dictator or socialist oligarchy running their country for centuries. They lost the will to fight it. Americans, on the other hand, are famous for not putting up with such crap, at least not for long. I predict to you, Mr. President, that if a peaceful and civil means is lost to the American people to fix this mess (that's being able to vote the change), that the revolutionary war of 1776 will be nothing compared to a second revolution to restore the Constitutional government as it was originally. This, by no means is a personal threat, but is a result of historical observation and my opinion. History tends to repeat itself. The USA as it is today, has turned into the country those earlier revolutionists originally fought against. It stands to reason that unless major changes are made to restore the country as it was originally, that a revolution will happen again.
John F. Kennedy, a predecessor of yours, did say that when a government removes the means for the people to change it peacefully, then an unpeaceful method is all that is left to emerge. Let's hope your actions don't cause this to happen.
Sincerely,
SuperSparky

Well, here we go again. Senator Barack Hussein Obama, the president of hypocrasy, socialist poster-boy, and "the One", the liberal messiah, is whining again when the truth about him is spoken. Poor Obama, FOX News is picking on the omnipotent one. It's just not fair. If FOX had not been doing their jobs, asking the questions the rest of the media should be asking, checking the claims both candidates make and calling them on it when shown to be lies, and questioning the personal friends and associations of each candidates; then Obama would be 4% higher in the polls. Well, duh! Oddly enough, that is true, but not for the whiney reasons he'd want us to believe; that is, FOX is needlessly picking on him. As with all liars and narcissicsts, when the light of truth shines upon them and exposes their various lies, they tend to lash out, even to the gnashing of teeth. How dare they tell the truth! How dare they expose your anti-American friends! How dare they expose your shady dealings in Chicago politics and Acorn! How dare they point out his inexperience! Only he is allowed to do this himself (ala the probes into Sarah Palin and "Joe the Plumber") The plan and ruse was going so well!
It's like watching an episode of Scooby Do, where the kids catch the bad guy and those famous words, "If it hadn't been for you meddling kids, my plan would have worked!"
The news media is so excited about this election, they want it to happen and happen for Obama in the worst way. They ignore Obama's association with Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Senator James Meeks, the crooked Antoin "Tony" Rezko, Acorn, Sam Graham-Felson (a communist/marxist), all in favor of the story of the century. Liberals are so excited, they are like a dog that latches on to your leg and "goes to town" because he's so excited your there. Liberals don't care about who he is, his lack of experience, his associations, nothing. They are just hoping a true Marxist makes it into the Oval Office so they can tell him what to do.
Obama is a Pinnochio. Without his teleprompter, he's useless. His managers try their best to keep him isolated (alluding to the first paragraph). When he strays, his true Marxist nature comes out. Yes, Obama said he wants to "spread the wealth". Get rid of companies, business owners, corporations, the rich, etc. you are left with only one thing, the poor. The Soviet Union is an excellent example of what socialism and communism is. The party members becomes the rich, not those with talent and incentive, and the poor are the rest of the populace. Without incentive and the ability to invest and take risks, the economy stagnates and eventually the whole system falls apart.
Before you start up about the economy and current situation, may I remind you it was government enforced social rules on banks that ruined the system. Forcing them to give home loans to those that, frankly, should still be renting, not owning. Any time the government exercizes socialist controls on a capitalistic system it causes that system to collapse, as our economy has demonstrated. Oh, incidentally, one of those that was directly involved in this problem, besides Barney Frank, was Barack Hussein Obama. However, the press will never bring that up.
If Barack's plans were ever to come into effect, I guarantee you that the Jimmy Carter era will look like nothing compared to the mass failures in the market expected by Obama's plans. Mass Socialist programs galore. When you take money away from businesses and those that give people jobs, all you do is remove the incentive for them to make money and hence HIRE PEOPLE. Less people with jobs, the less people buying goods, the more people dependant on government. Eventually no more money is being generated or collected, and the incentive to make it is gone, especially if the government is going the STEAL your hard earned money and give it to some bum not willing to work hard. Giving someone a hand up is one thing, but giving a hand out is theft.
Why should I work 60 hours a weel in a small business to earn me $200,000 a year, when Obama wants to take a large portion of it and give it free and clear to some so-called "poor" person who didn't earn it, just to "spread the wealth"? Why not instead educate that poor person on a skill or how to run their own business instead?
"Poor" in this country is not static, like Carl Marx wanted people to believe. This country has always been the land of opportunity, a place where the poor can become rich and successful if they work hard at it. This means the majority of the poor are no longer "the poor" a decade later. They are replaced by other "poor", some who used to be "rich". It's a fluid situation. In fact the only areas where you can demonstrate "permanent poverty" are where social "hand out" programs are in effect. After all, why go and get a job, when you get a check from the government every week (New Orleans, anyone)?
Senator Biden has been dropping gaffe-bombs, left and right, many going way beyond stupid and mis-statements. The guy is an idiot, and has been in the Senate for decades! Yet, the wolves of Obama's campaign and the media ship a bunch of lawyers off to Alaska to investigate a GOVERNOR to see if she is qualified to be a Vice President. Such obvious partisanship is responded to with "whaaat? Oh no, we are just checking on her statements." We hear things like "Governor Palin has no experience to be Vice President" WHAT?!! How about Barack Hussein Obama's complete lack of experience to be President?!! His been an active senator for 120 days and before that he handed out flyers!!
What better person to meet with foreign dignitaries than someone who is friendly, down to earth, tough, and very endearing to others. Why have a stuffy politician when you can have a genuine American as a Vice President? Joe Biden? He's an idiot, and every time he opens his mouth he proves it. Sarah Palin? She proves her competence every time she opens her mouth and she proves she doesn't take crap from anybody in that same process. I am confident the liberals fear the lack of control and lack of coersion Sarah Palin demonstrates fuels their vitriol. This includes those in Congress, Hollywood, and the main stream media. They fear Sarah Palin because she is not buyable.
Barack Hussein Obama is mad, steaming mad and hopes if he can just avoid the truth just until election day, he'll have the election in the bag. This is why he's angry.
This leaves with the following story, I have no idea if it is true, so let's just assume it is humorous fiction. Nevertheless explains it all:
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle'".
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a "Post Turtle" was. The old rancher said, "When your driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'Post Turtle'".
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb-ass put him up there to begin with."
