And don't think for a minute that the Obama administration didn't influence the city to cancel the Tea Party, possibly with the withholding of Federal funds or some other threat. More of the Obadman administration's censorship, silencing those who disagree with King Hussein. What do you think would have happened If the founders of our country had listened to or even bothered to hear anything the King of England might have had to say about the original tea party? Well they would not be our founding fathers and we would still be speaking the King's English and paying his taxes. So why should listen to King Barack Hussein Obama? Do all those anti-war/anti-soldier protesters, the anti-life (they are not pro-choice) protesters, and those cop-killer lovers protesting in Oakland all had insurance? Come on! So now you can only protest when you have the proper insurance? Which the government can reject for any group they don't agree with? Sounds like Communism to me! Of course a lot that is happening in this country lately sounds like Communism to me. And if it sounds like a skunk and looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk...

Is he going to witness the Resurrection of Christ? That's how many witnesses Christ had at one time to His Resurrection. No, besides the fact that Christ has already been resurrected, Obama considers himself the messiah, so He wouldn't be going to The Messiah's resurrection party. Apparently Barack also thinks he is the King of Kings. Well, his reception before the G12 won't go as badly as did Christ's trip to Jerusalem, which included mocking, beating and crucifixion, before the resurrection. But it will certainly be a trip Obama won't forget, though he'll probably wish he could!

Surprise, surprise!

No touching in Connecticut schools (this in a state with connect in its name), no dark-colored cars in California, no dust coming off of farms (is that even possible?), no assault (broadly defined) guns, no control of how we run our businesses or use our lands, no calling acts of terrorism, the war on terrorism, or enemy combatants what they are, no no no ad nauseum. Democrats have the colossal gall to call Republicans the party of no? For people who call themselves liberals, whatever their party affiliation, these people are sure narrow-minded. If these politicians keep squeezing we the people, maybe we'll finally burst out and take back our government by the people and for the people. I hope. Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:49:49 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/27/connecticut-school-bans-physical-contact/#IDComment17760598 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/26/the-worst-financial-crisis-in-history/#IDComment17706216 This is laughable. The government that caused the free agency fiasco that has virtually ruined professional sports and left the opening for so many college players to leave college and go to the pros without degrees, now wants to take over college sports too. if they wouldn't have created the free agency disaster in the first place, our economy would be a lot better off, as would sports. The government seems to ruin everything that it gets involved in instead of being involved in what they should be involved in, as the Obama administration is wasting no time in demonstrating. Ronald Reagan's words now more than ever are so fitting: "Government is not the solution, government is the problem." The Obama machine continues at every turn to grow government bigger and bigger. Control over all financial institutions, then other businesses, maybe yours and mine. Our tax money, next how we can or can't use all our money. Requiring youth to "learn to do service," then requiring them to do such service, as was the original intention of the bill concerned. Takeovers of newspapers, including telling them what they can and can't say; next are talk radio (in the works already) and TV including the news. Telling us what we should call things like the war on terror oops sorry overseas contingency operation, then telling us what we can and can't say. What kind of guns we can have then no guns. What color of car we can have, then what make and model. Where we can set our thermostats, then how many blankets we can have. What's next how many times a day I can flush my toilet? Will I have to call the White House to have the Secretary of Green Energy come and flush it for me? Can you spell socialist takeover?

I force myself to listen to Obama even though he's boring, can hardly talk with a teleprompter, and says mostly either "comprehensive," "contingency," "Bush's failed policies," or "the failed policies of the past". I force myself because I know I need to be informed, and try to be "fair and balanced." How you can say that with Obama "there is nothing about me." That's all he's about. His policies, his agenda, his constant TV appearances, town hall meetings, radio shows, etc etc ad nauseum. The man is a narcissist. Which means he clearly does not have the best interests of our country at heart. Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:14:58 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/26/the-worst-financial-crisis-in-history/#IDComment17705198 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/23/werent-we-promised-more-transparency/#IDComment17460896 Obama is trying to build a socialist dictatorship with you know who as dictator. He is trying to surround himself only with yes men, including the press. He chooses weak people and damaged goods like Timothy Geithner, and leaves the Treasury Department and key cabinet positions empty. This makes the government top heavy, Barack being the top. This also sets up an Obama controlled Treasury. Barack is clearly trying to ruin the economy as we know it by setting up a socialist economy in which he and his chosen elite will have control over all the money. This is why the drive for 1 world currency, taking control of financial institutions, trying to make contracts subject to his will. Don't think he isn't really in favor of the bill to tax AIG and other financial companies 90% tax on bonuses, and now there is talk of capping the salaries of big execs. Just leave it to Obama and his cronies to decide who that is. Taxes and programs galore all designed to make us more dependent on big government, mostly meaning Obama himself. Obama is building a government run welfare state, in which the money will stay with the wealthy who support him, and taken from everyone else. Weakening our military by telling the world (ie terrorists) exactly when he will be pulling our troops out of Iraq, taking away health care benefits for veterans while giving them to illegal immigrants, playing soft with our enemies and emboldening them, talking to hostile and terroristic countries without preconditions, and trying to redefine for us enemy combatants, acts of terrorism, and terrorists. Can you spell socialist dictatorship?

Sure you would, comradeobama. Of course it doesn't surprise me that with a handle like yours you would say that. Obama's followers seem to have a knack for saying things they don't back up. Wow I wonder where they get that from? Back up your words. Call or mail and tell the authorities they can put 100 of the Git-no-mo prisoners right in your back yard. Then post the documentation and the names of these terrorists here. Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:24:51 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/19/meet-the-new-neighbors-theyre-from-guantanamo-bay/#IDComment17456339 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/12/is-freedom-of-religion-under-attack/#IDComment17308821 This is something I said would happen in an Obama Presidency, before he even won the Democratic nomination. Christians should be prepared for much worse than this. Well, I plan to cling to my gun and to my religion. The gun, they can have when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. My religion, they can have if they can pry it out of my believing, determined heart. But they can't. We must stand up for each others inalienable human rights. While we still have them. Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:19:45 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/12/is-freedom-of-religion-under-attack/#IDComment17308821 http://www.the912project.com/2009/03/18/obama-secretly-ends-program-that-let-pilots-carry-guns/#IDComment17306052 Okay let's see. Obama is trying to disarm our pilots, disarm we the people with more gun control, and disarm our military by cutting defense spending when virtually every other area of spending, most of it wasteful, is being increased. Obama so far has done nothing about Russia buzzing our ships with its jets, trying to put missile bases in Cuba and Venezuela, and still threatening Georgia, irregardless of pulling out. The Chinese threatening our ships? No action taken yet. North Korea continuing to build nuclear arms, and kidnapping two journalists? Ditto. Syria promoting, training and practicing terrorism? How about some nice talks? Iran continuing to support terrorism and arm itself with nuclear warheads? Obama sends a video asking them to play nice; and what will he do about their in-your-face retort and list of demands on America? My guess is nothing. Maybe talks with no preconditions. In other words, nothing. Obama closes Git-no-mo, sending its terrorists we probably know where to do we definitely know what. He tells us we can't use dirty words like terrorists, enemy combatants and acts of terrorism anymore, because we might offend the people who are trying to kill us. Does anyone else see a pattern here? I hope so, because if not, and if we the people don't do something about it, we will be in far more trouble than we are already. Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:47:41 +0000 http://www.the912project.com/2009/03/18/obama-secretly-ends-program-that-let-pilots-carry-guns/#IDComment17306052 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/20/russian-planes-fly-over-us-navy-ships-again/#IDComment17303148 This should come as no surprise. And don't forget, Russia has done nothing to back out of Georgia, and Obama is doing zero about it. Next they'll have jets buzzing Washington--or crashing into the Pentagon! On top of this, Barack sent Iran a "play nice" video which got a harsh response and demands from Iran. What will he do about that? Request a talk with no preconditions? Don't forget China threatening our ships and doing nothing about human rights, and N Korea continuing to build nuclear arms (as is Iran) and kidnapping 2 of our journalists. Again Obama is doing nothing. Barack Obama is either impotent and unable to exercise his power to do something about all these crises, or he is unwilling to because he doesn't care or wants our nation to fall. In either case, for every instance, Obama should act swiftly and mightily, or he should be impeached. He has no right to play with this country and our safety, while he makes the Presidency his playtoy on The Tonight Show, in the bowling alley where he insults the disabled (of whom I happen to be one), and filling out brackets when he should be bracketing pork barrel projects and eliminating them. Barack, how about less time in town meetings and constant TV appearances promoting your agenda and running fo reelection, and more time doing your best for we the people, at whose will you govern? Or is that too much to ask of the holder of the Presidency of the United States of America? Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:15:37 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/20/russian-planes-fly-over-us-navy-ships-again/#IDComment17303148 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/19/california-congressman-calls-maryland-home-to-gain-tax-credit/#IDComment17301923 Politicians like this one, which sadly seem to be in the majority, and Republican as well as Democratic, scream for reform and downsizing of our big government bureaucratic machine. Yes, history has proven that term limits are a must. One four year term for Senators, Representatives, and Presidents. That way they would not spend their term running for reelection, since there wouldn't be any. Also this would hinder wasteful spending and deceitful tactics like those of this California Congressman. Especially since the politicians would be going back to the private sector: no government jobs of any kind allowed. In fact, early Congressmen did not even work full-time in Federal government, they continued to hold their jobs as farmers, postmasters, tailors, etc. Even the President should at least hold a part-time job in the private sector. Our politicians are pathetically and even deliberately out of touch with the real day to day world and with those who live in it, we the people. Private sector work will keep politicians in touch with the people, and help them be the people, as well as hold their feet to the fires of accountability to properly represent we the people. Who would want to spend 4 years looking out only for their own interests, if they are still working among them part-time, and will then have to go back and work among them full-time? Salaries should be lower and Congress should not be able to vote raises for itself. There should be a cap on benefits and there should be great accountability, from the outside, to see benefits are spent only on what they are intended for. It is ridiculous for these politicians to be policing themselves. No more Air Force jets at your beck and call, Nancy Pill-o-si! Politicians should be able to easily make more in the private sector, at jobs they already have or new ones, than they make as politicians, and that includes all benefits & perks. To further insure that our government representatives truly represent us, the best interests of we the people, we should also find a way to make it easier to impeach members of Congress and the President. And, for that matter, Supreme Court Justices, to which I think all of this should apply. To have lifelong terms for 9 such powerful people is not only stupid it is unsafe, as recent history especially has demonstrated. Impeachments should not be in the hands of politicians and political parties; again, no self-policing. We vote elected officials in, why not vote them out, even if their term is not up yet but they are say trying to wreck the country in four years. Finally, yet back to start, campaign reform. Every candidate in every party gets the same amount of money to campaign and it comes out of taxes; it can easily come out of the money now being spent on porkulus (thanks Laura Ingrahm) packages, with plenty to spare. This would include equal amounts of prime time air coverage for each candidate, and some kind of fair and equal coverage in various news media, as much as that could be worked out. Absolute zero money from private donors whether individuals or corporations or any special interest groups. As a nice side effect, this would virtually put lobbyists out of business, at least those who expect money, which I think most of them do. Then they too can work productive jobs and strengthen the economy. Drastic times call for drastic measures, and we should insist on them. Government is after all meant to be by the people and for the people. So let's take our government back! Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:29:19 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/19/california-congressman-calls-maryland-home-to-gain-tax-credit/#IDComment17301923 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/03/19/meet-the-new-neighbors-theyre-from-guantanamo-bay/#IDComment17298942 The prisoners that will be released when Gone-mo is gone are mostly Islamic terrorists, or some kind of terrorists for sure. Thus, the closing of Git-no-mo implies at least the strong possibility of something I have believed to be true since before Barack Hussein Obama started his run for the Presidency: he is a closet Muslim with at least terrorist sympathies. Closing Gitmo is one of his first steps out of the closet. There is plenty that points to this strong possibility, not the least of which is Barack Hussein Obama's very Muslim name. It would not be surprising for him to have been born with that name, since according to his grandmother he was born in Kenya, where there is a strong Islamic influence. (By the way, if he was born in Kenya, is he a born American citizen, and should Barack even be the holder of the Presidency, especially given questions about his birth certificate?) If he was not born with the Islamic name but took it later, this indicates the making of some commitment to Isalm, since people are not known to take Islamic names just to take them. But there is more beyond the name. Strong ties to terrorists like Bill Ayers. The desire to meet with terrorist regimes like Syria, which trains, supports, promotes and practices terrorism in many of its worst manifestations. Telling us that we can't call acts of terrorism, terrorists, and enemy combatants what they really are. Doing thus far nothing about different terrorist regimes, Muslim led or with at least a number of Muslim followers. No response to the Georgia crisis as Russia becomes more overtly bold against us. The same with China and it's terroristic human rights violations. As for Obama's recent video speech to Iran, that is not acting to fight terrorism; it is, as usual with Barack Obama, just talk. Iran, already emboldened since Obama won the Presidency, made a strong statement and list of demands to Barack and the nation. It will be interesting to see how he responds. Perhaps with a call for talks with no preconditions? I know some will say I'm being too extreme, going too far. Just take an objective look and ask yourself if it could be true. Because I think we will only see more of the same for the remainder of Obama's Presidency. We should be prepared for it.

For now, in order not to write a book in this post, I'm going to simply list these, and then list some basic ideas I have for dealing with and overcoming the problems brought on by those things. Expansion, examples, discussion and hopefully some helpful ideas will come in further posts. Seven Things Barack Obama has started doing: 1) Increasing the size of our big government bureaucratic machine. 2 Deteriorating our inalienable human rights and the moral fabric that holds this country together. 3) Turning our economy into a socialistic one. 4) Weakening our Military. 5) Carrying out a concerted effort to foster favor toward and befriend Islamic extremists and terrorists. 6) Beginning a campaign against The Church and Christians. 7) Making the Presidency his personal toy and the nation his playground. Some General Things We The People Can Do About Those Things: 1) Know who your congressional representatives are and know the bills they are voting on as far before they vote as possible. Make calls, write letters and emails, and let them, and Obama himself, know when you see in a bill an instance of any of the above, that you do not want them to vote for it. 2) Organizing or joining a tea party or other form of protest is not a bad idea, either. It was good enough for our Founding Fathers, after all! 3) We can also start groups or have rallies or "anti-protests" praising, for example our military men & women. 4) If you are a writer, try writing and distributing pamphlets, articles and books showing the errors of one or more of the above ways this administration is turning us from our roots and our rights. 5) Even posting in these forums or in Facebook could have a significant impact, especially if enough of us do it. You know that the Obama administration has people keeping a close eye on such internet media. 6) Live with our inalienable human rights and historic national values in mind and heart, and help others do the same. 7) Obviously, organizing or joining a 912Project group in your area is a great idea! More specific ways in which Obama is doing the 7 things listed above, and more specific things we can do about each one, are coming soon.
