If I could give my fellow Americans one bit of advice--and have it stick--it would be this:
WAKE UP !!!
Our way of life is under serious assault, right now! Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to keep and bear arms, even the simple freedom to choose your own health care with your doctor is endangered.
Let's look at the 1st Amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Congress hasn't established a state religion, but they have helped to prohibit the "free exercise thereof" in a thousand different ways in the last 50 years. In the ridiculously named, trillion dollar "Stimulus Bill" there is a provision prohibiting the use of funds to rebuild any structure on a university campus that is used for religious worship. Nancy Pelosi inserted that particular gem!
The ACLU has been the spearhead of this attack on the free exercise of Christianity, and to a lesser extent Judaism. As a matter fact, the ACLU has led a relentless assault on everything we hold dear as Americans!

--or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Freedom of speech has been under constant assault by the left for at least twenty years now. The very concept of "hate speech" should be hateful to those who value FREE SPEECH. I've wracked my brain to come up with a meaningful definition of the term "hate speech", and I've failed. So let's try this definition:
Hate Speech--those common sense opinions which run contrary to the leftist worldview.
Democrats are engaged in a full-court press to reenact the absurdly named "Fairness Doctrine." This is an effort the shut down conservative talk radio, and it HAS worked in the past. Here's how it works...
Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity state an opinion on a political topic for 10 minutes. Then one of George Soros' toady groups, like Media Matters, calls up the local station director and DEMANDS 10 minutes of airtime to "refute" Rush's opinions. The station will be required by law to grant that 10 minutes of airtime, and people by the millions turn their radios off! If liberal opinions were interesting in the least, or even cogent, Air America would have been a SMASHING success instead of an economic train wreck. When listeners change the radio dials in those numbers, advertisers stop paying for airtime, and the show eventually fails! That's how it worked in the past, and that's EXACTLY what the leftists/Democrats intend to do now. They may change the euphmism to "Localism" or something even more absurd, but know this:
The Democrats intend to kill Conservative talk radio and the Pusch is on right now! If they truly wanted "fairness" the Fairness Doctrine would apply to TV, newspapers, and magazines too. All of these information mediums are overwhelmingly liberal and serve the big government, freedom-killing agenda of the left. (Z: Great point again, Morgan... imagine Pelosi allowing this to apply to newpapers when they're SO in HER bag!?!?)
The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution states:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The Supreme Court has correctly found that the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED upon! Barack Obama and the radical left won't be able to change this until and unless he gets to change the composition of the courts.
Enter our new Attorney General, Eric Holder. We know that Eric has a soft spot for terrorists, since he was instrumental in the pardoning of numerous terrorists at the end of Clinton's reign. We also know that Mr. Holder was heavily involved in the raid on the home of Elian Gonzalez to return him to communist Cuba, at GUN POINT! Eric Holder has a long history of opposing gun ownership for private citizens, but he doesn't hesitate using heavily armed government agents to raid the home of an American citizen protecting a small boy from communist slavery.
People like Eric Holder EPITOMIZE the radical left's opposition to citizens keeping and bearing arms! After all, armed citizens are far more difficult to dictate to, or even enslave.
Attorney General Eric Holder is there for ONE purpose, to go after Americans, and our 2nd Amendment! Barack Obama already made it clear to the Jihadis that "we are not your enemy" when he spoke to Al-Aribiya radio two weeks ago. Obama wants space, he wants "breathing room" from the War On Terror so that he can use his new AG Holder to go after his American political opposition, and gun owners are right at the top of that list!
For now, Holder will have to nibble at the edges of the 2nd Amendment by issuing/enforcing extended waiting periods for gun purchases, restrictions on ammo purchases, listing everything bigger that a .22 caliber as an assault weapon, and engaging in other forms of subterfuge. But make no mistake, gun owners are in Holder's cross-hairs.
Buried in the trillion-page, TRILLION dollar beast of a "Stimulus Bill" on page 905 is a provision that sets up a healthcare treatment "commissar" who will consult with your doctor to give the ultimate yea or nay to your treatments. Surely something this intrusive should have been debated on the floor of both houses of Congress. Right? For further reading on this subject, here's something from the CNS news service...
Ladies and gentlemen, whether it's freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to keep and bear arms, or the simple freedom to consult privately with your doctor about your own healthcare, the left is out to DESTROY your freedom.
In 1985 ex-Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov sat down for a lengthy interview to explain how the war against America is being fought. It can be found here.
and Yuri explains the systematic "demoralization" process here.
Jonah Goldberg wrote, "what we call Liberalism, is in fact a descendant and manifestation of fascism. It is a totalitarian political religion." Mr. Goldberg is absolutely right!
Now what will we do about this full frontal assault on American freedom? Will we "go quietly into the good night" and accept the monstrous government yoke being forced on us by the newly inaugurated Obama Administration? Will we be passive in the face of the hideous assault on our freedoms?
Or will we be worthy of the sacrifices made by our forefathers who protected freedom? I'm getting my marching shoes ready. Will you join me?
Z: thanks, Morgan....there are many things we need to wake up and realize...and be vigilant about.
...because this is very, very scary. Mr. Obama's threatening "monetary penalties" on people who question his eligibility for the presidency. Isn't that a bit..............drastic? Where's the media? And, is it really so surprising?
Talk about hypocrisy!Look at this – they talk about transparency, which was not available before the votes in the slaughter house (sorry, I can’t call it “congress”)….. and now: still nothing. Nobody knows what exactly is in this piece of socialist “Dreck”, and what is even more astonishing, even those who voted for it don’t know!! Didn't Arlen and Barack discuss anything at the Super Bowl party at the White House?
This is almost criminal behavior – these people have been elected to make conscientious decisions. How can you make a decision on behalf of the people if you don’t know the content of what you are voting for? This has nothing to do with democracy – that is dictatorship communist style. I am sorry, but this is disgusting: As a German who loves America and chose this country to live in, I can’t even begin to tell you how I feel about this.
This must be the only country, other than may be a couple of African dictatorships, where it is possible to conceive a law behind closed doors with no possibility for the opposition to participate or influence what is in that law, create a 1100 page document (which in itself is an extraordinary stupidity, that’s what you get when too many lawyers are involved), make it available at midnight, and have the vote the very next day. It's calculated to take about 12 1/2 hours to read the thing, to say nothing of digesting and considering it or coming up with beneficial, constructive changes! I certainly have not heard of such behavior from other civilized countries, certainly not from
The normal procedure is that somebody writes a proposed piece of legislation (and other than in the U.S., such proposal may also come from the opposition), it is then distributed, discussed, commented on and amended through committee hearings, then it goes to a full discussion in the appropriate chamber before it is finally voted on. And every step of the way, there is enough time for people to read, consider, discuss. With breathtaking and, ultimately, dangerous SPEED, prompted by "CATASTROPHE" and "IF WE DON'T ACT NOW" as if ANY action is better than the best action? Read the link.... Educate yourselves....you'll be ahead of your political 'representatives'...and a lot angrier, probably...
Mr. Z
I guess I SHOULD have posted this this morning, huh? Well, I hope you guys get the hint!
