Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 6/10 Pay-Go? Now The President Wants Govt To Be Responsible

Until the next election we need to let the legislators know we are out here and paying attention to what they are doing...maybe they will slow down....it's worth a try. When the next election approaches we need to identify "patriotic" candidates and ACTIVELY back them for election. Hopefully, there will be something to salvage by then....

The comments here are good...but we really need to have an effect on what's happening to our country. I just finished writing my two Senators, Murray and Cantwell, imploring them to put partisan politics aside and vote NO on any national healthcare plan until we can afford it (ie., a balanced budget). The bill has passed the House and Obuma wants it on his desk by August. It's time to get involved and write you Senators...

Instead of finding new taxes or increasing existing ones...the (*T%%&$^ politicians should be trimming expenses!! A good place to start would be THEIR health benefits, government retirements, and wages....

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE... PART 2 And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and...change. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me. Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. But, I do not think I am. About the author via Google... Pamela "Atlas" Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently took over operation of The New York Observer as Associate Publisher. She left The Observer after the birth of her fourth child, but remained involved in various projects including American Associates, Ben Gurion University and being Senior Vice-President Strategic Planning and Performance Evaluation at The Brandeis School. After 9/11, Atlas had the veil of oblivion violently lifted from her consciousness and immersed herself in the education and understanding of geopolitics, Islam, terror, foreign affairs and imminent threats the mainstream media and the government wouldn't cover or discuss.

AN INTERESTING EMAIL THAT IS CIRCULATING ON THE INTERNET.... PART 2 Wake up America !!! by Pam Geller I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 15 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two. We demanded and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we knew could never pay back? Why? We learned recently that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not. We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why? We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why? We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose? Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so. And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.) Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change...radical change. Why? I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again. And that is only the beginning. I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission.

I'm sorry....I'm just trying to figure out how the government is going to do a satisfactory job of administering this program in a cost effective manner. All I have to do is look at the Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security systems which government has already bankrupted.... Which means another source of budget deficit, more government borrowing, and more printing of money which is soon to become worthless.... Hmmmm....I suspect Obuma is purposely trying to bankrupt this country...NO ONE could be so stupid as to implement the fiscally irresponsible policies we're seeing coming out of Washington....

Why am I not surprised that Obama and his administration are trying to alienate one of our few remaining allies? It's simply another bad judgement call and/or policy in a long string of them. Matter of fact, is there anything Obama and his minions have done that truly have benefited this country?

There's no way Obama would be impeached....It takes a vote of Congress which is controlled by the Democraps. What might work is to have recall votes on idiots like Pilosi. Get enough of Obama's blind supporters removed from office and he becomes impotent....

I received this in an email..... HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?????? Especially read the last quote from 1802. When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe . Thomas Jefferson The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: 'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..' 'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.' -Mark Twain

Seems every movement has some symbol to rally around...usually a flag. The flag most predominantly displayed at the Tea Parties was the Gadsden Flag (Don't Tread on Me). For a history of this flag see the following link: http://www.foundingfathers.info/stories/gadsden.h... I'd like to be recognized as a 9-12er and I think others would as well. I'd also like to think we could impress upon our alleged "representatives" that we are in sufficient numbers to be reckoned with. A displayed symbol would also help recruit like-minded individuals. I'm going to fly a Gadsden from my house and my motorcycle.... I'm also going to look for bumperstickers and clothing. I ask that you do the same.

This incident is just another example of how gun control can lead to increased violence. Many, if not all, the ports reportedly do not let armed ships dock. Soooo....the ships plowing through this area of the Indian Ocean are easy prey for the pirates. I would imagine that had the Alabama had a few 50 cal. machine guns mounted on the portals the pirates would have bypassed this ship. ...and if they didn't ....rat-a-tat-tat-tat....no more pirates... Secondly, what good is the UN? Considering these pirates are attacking ships from around the world, it seems the UN would send boats and troops to clean them out. So where are they???
