    • A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."  Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman statesman 42 B.C

    "Judge a person on the content of the character" .   Where do they stand, what are the beliefs, values, morals and ethics, how do they look at our Constitution or America?  What direction do they want this country to go?  Always remember, judge not lest thou be judged

     

    If America Fail’s the entire WORLD will fail

    IF (this is some not all)
    If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

    If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

    If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

     

    If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

    If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

     

    If George W. Bush’s associates or inner cabinet involve any communist, Marxist or known domestic terrorist, would you have stood there without a comment?

    If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

    If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

    If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

    If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

     

    If George W. Bush let Newt Gingrich, slam down our throats any Bill proposed without proper vetting and votes, would you have accepted it?

     

    If George W. Bush had raised the Philippine flag upside down, would you have dismissed it?

     

    If George W. Bush did not have the American Flag behind him in any speech would you have called him a traitor?

    If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

    If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

    If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless.

    If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

    If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

    If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

    If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

    If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

    If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

    If George W. Bush had created the position of 65 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

    If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

    So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 18 months -- so you'll have a bit longer to come up with an answer.

    LET'S SEE HOW MANY OF YOU FORWARD THIS...

     

     

    Chuck Devore essay: End of the World as We Know It

    I’m normally not given to pessimism about America—we are a strong people in a rich land—but our political class has set the foundation for disaster.

    The Federal debt stands at $13.4 trillion with another $110 trillion in unfunded Medicare and Social Security liabilities.

     

    The People’s Republic of China now holds about $850 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, most of it quietly moved over the past few months into notes maturing in less than a year.

    The ability of a nation to borrow and to finance its debt and other obligations, such a maintaining its defenses or fighting a war, is as much based on trust—the expectation that one will be paid back—as it is based on economic prowess.

     

    What might the end of history’s greatest democratic republic look like?

    At some point in the near future, a rapidly rising China may decide to challenge American supremacy in the Pacific.  The flashpoint may be over Taiwan, or it may be over the reputedly vast oil and gas riches in the disputed South China Sea area—what matters is not the trigger, but the result.

    Within minutes of a Sino-American confrontation, world markets believe that China will begin selling their almost one-trillion dollars in U.S. treasury bonds.  This starts a global sell-off that ripples through the entire American bond market as fears about inflation feed on investors.

    Within days, concerned Americas begin to withdraw their bank deposits, money market funds and other liquid assets, such as life insurance policies, using the money to buy precious metals, durable goods and even real estate.

    Within a week, the Federal Reserve would be forced to create trillions of dollars of fiat money to cover its obligations.  This, in itself, would be highly inflationary, but, with confidence in the financial markets already shaken by the events of 2008-09, mass panic may lead to hyperinflation, a phenomenon of a different kind.

    Within a month of the start of hyperinflation, the U.S. government’s credibility is shot, the dollar is worthless, and, most importantly for national security purposes, the U.S. cannot even secure fuel for its military—essentially shutting down what was the world’s most powerful military without a shot being fired.

     

    Beginning to pay down our massive Federal debt will take both political discipline and a patient public.  This will be difficult, but not impossible.  The alternative is almost unthinkable.

    What has become blatantly obvious is that the President of these United States does not know our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence or our Bill of Rights (link here:  USA Constitution and Bill of Rights ).  Either that or he just doesn't care.  It seems most U.S. citizens, politicians, judges and his administration are not familiar with the Constitution, but that doesn't mean we have to stay stupid either.   Majority of us here today, had forefathers that fought and died to give us the rights we have today.  They were created out of the need to get away from big government and to not be overrun by a government body so big that the people could not make their way.  It was created and fought over to give US a right to choose.


    Will you allow the EXISTING Establishment to define you?  It doesn't matter what side you are on.  No one should be able to define who you are, categorize you into a "position", or define what you believe in. It is time to charge forward and define this country for ourselves!
    DON'T Back down and accept their definition of reality, DON'T throw in the towel to their calculations and assumptions before our hearts have ever taken the stage! B.S!
    We will define reality, All of US, together. The media has you believe there is a WAR within both parties, that each party is confused at or with the recent outcomes in the primary. GOOD, let them be confused, let them wallow in the in-fighting. WE THE PEOPLE, will tell the establishment what we want from now on!

    VOTE SMART, GET THE FACTS, then everyone that is legally able to vote, NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR COLLECTIVE DUFFS AND VOTE. VOTE SMART for candidates that will best represent us. VOTE SMART on Local and State issues. VOTE SMART for what is good for your State.


     Look at the blatant opposites in this environment today:

    NAACP, ACLU, Unions, NZ Patriot, CPUA, Socialist of America, TeaParty Patriots, Republican, Democrat, SEIU, Democratic Socialist of America, Code Pink, Color for Change, IAC, "New" Black Panther Org, Communist Party USA, Freedom Works, Int'l  Socialst Org, yaya network, Peace and Freedom Party, Arian Nation,  Planned Parenthood, Americans for Prosperity on and on.

     

    FOR THE INEXPERIENCED OR WEARY "LOOKERS" IN POLITICS. I believe we should think of Politics as a product being sold to you.
    As any good salesman would do, they want to convince you their product is the best and you should buy it.  WOULD YOU just because they said so?  Most people would research on blogs, yelp, or sites that have pros and cons, and based on all your research, you’d make the best decision for you about that product.  DO THE SAME with politics, for any legislations or representative that wants or needs your vote and voice, think of it as you are the consumer, they are the salesmen.  Do the research before you buy or “you’ll be sorry”

    Obama's politics were known AHEAD of time but the Media refused to vet him.   Instead, they carried his water and protected him. With vicious vengeance they attacked and opposing statements and people.  Now look at the mess we're in!  These very same people who voted for this guy "because" of his skin color--not in spite of-- or even because he represented their ideals or values--has spent his whole term so far  SHOUTING to anyone, who is not thrilled with his Hugo Chavez TAKE OVER, that he/she is a racist.    If you have to defend and convince your stance this much you have to be wrong.

     

    If it was an HONEST campaign, they would have RUN it based on their agenda to SOCIALIZE America. They didn't... If people want socialized medicine, because it is such a success in Canada & the UK... then, PASS a constitutional amendment and do it RIGHT!  Most of us are sick of the back room, back door approach. It is time for transparency in politics.  Senators need to STOP going to Washington for themselves to make a fortune and start REPRESENTING the STATE government. Repeal the 17th Amendment and put the checks & balances back into the government."

    HOW LONG DOES A DEMOCRACY LAST?

    The answer is, around 200 hundred years according to the world's history.

     

    The most interesting thing about Democracies is it's broken down in to documented segments that every free nation has been through since the beginning of time.

     

    According to scholars, "a democracy is temporary in nature and cannot exist as a permanent form of government."  A democracy will continue to exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

     From that moment, the voters always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.  


    The vast majority of votes for the Democrat party came from areas of government subsidized homes with large amounts of welfare / social service hand-outs, while the Republican votes came from mostly areas where hard working citizens owned their own homes and the lands on which they were built. According to the scholars, our country has already reached the governmental dependency stage and, if amnesty is granted to the over 20 million illegal aliens now living in this country, this democracy will fall within the next five years.

    The 200 average years of democracies normally takes the following route to its own self destruction.

     

    Finally, we go from dependence back into bondage.

     

    Our founders were keenly aware of the shortcomings of a democracy and that is why they chose a Republic for us instead.  Our founders disliked democracy as a form of government and did everything they could to prevent us from falling into such a condition.   Sadly, most people think we live in a democracy by design and that democracy as a governmental form is good and noble.

    However, in a pure democracy the majority always out rule the minority by a simple 51/49 vote. This is far from what our founders crafted but we the people have not learned we live under a Representative Republic.

     

    Okay, here is where we are today; We are just past the inflection point off-ramp, we missed it and were going over the apex of the Bell curve. We need to do is get off on the first off-ramp go over the bridge and take two lane road back to intersect with that inflection point. This means going down temporarily, then up and then backwards for a bit to get this machine firing on all cylinders again.

     

    Once we pick up that nearly vertical line, off we go again. Then we can turn this chaos and controversy, and the sound and fury that it embodies, and get the show back on the road. It's not that difficult.

    We can continue for another 200-500 years if we pay attention right now at this cross road coming up.

     

    Here are some old sayings that go,

     "You made your bed, now sleep in it!"   Well, we certainly made our bed in this election...but I don't think we'll be getting much sleep!

     

    "I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." (Winston Churchill)

    "Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without an address on it?" Mark Twain

    "Some cause happiness wherever they go....and other, whenever they go." Oscar Wilde

    "If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed. If you do, you are misinformed." Mark Twain

    "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress......but then I repeat myself." (Mark Twain)

    "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."
    (George Bernard Shaw)

    "A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with YOUR money."  (G. Gordon Liddy)

    "Foreign Aid could be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in a rich country to rich people in a poor country." (unknown)

    "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

    (P. J. O'Rourke)

    "GOVERNMENT is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."  (Frederic Bastiat, French Economist)

    "I don't make jokes, I just watch the government and report the facts."  Will Rogers

    "Talk is Cheap, except when Congress is in session."  (unknown)

    "No man's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session."  Mark Twain

    "In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other."  (Voltaire in 1764)

    "Government's view of the economy?  If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it and if it stops moving, subsidize it."  (Ronald Reagan)

    "The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other."  (Ronald Reagan)

    "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."  (Sir Winston Churchill)

    "The only difference between the tax man and a taxidermist is the taxidermist leaves the skin."

    (Mark Twain)

    "What this country needs, is more unemployed politicians."  (Edward Langley)

    "The difference between our two parties is, the Republicans believe every day is the 4th of July while the Democrats believe every day is April 15th." (Ronald Reagan)

     

    Two favorites:
    "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."  (Thomas Jefferson)

    "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!"

    (P. J. O'Rourke)
