Frauds like this guy, want to trash the Koch brothers, but don't want to address the Soros, the Bill Gates and the Jefferey Immelts who are the real fatcats, who are stealing our resources, our tax dollars, don't pay much if any tax and displace real working poor and middle class US citizens, black, brown and white. Union fraud, is a bought and paid for toady of the fatcats, irregardless of what he types here.

What's more, neither he or B-HO have a right to limit or deprive the US citizenry of that right. We're not going to lose our right, to humor the barbarians old Graham cracker is either on the take from, or intimidated by. If he doesn't like that, he can get stuffed.

The majority of Hollywood film releases these days are garbage. If they want to know why the box office takings are so low, I can tell them rather easily. No one wants to see condescending, anti-American propaganda, never ending remakes that are watered down versions of the originals. We don't want social science indoctrination, or to see everything reduced to gutter level sexualization. In short, we want quality, entertaining, interesting films. Secondly, ticket prices are high, and with the costs of going to a movie, the popcorn, soda, etc.. costing the way it does, it's not affordable any more, way out of proportion to the wages of Americans. Perhaps Hollywood's executives, it's many layers of middle management, it's overpaid directors, producers, writers, actors, actresses, PR people and assorted hangers on need to see their salaries gutted down to real world levels. No one is going to pay 30 dollars to see a movie 60 days after it's release, or even on the first day of it's release. One can only realize that if this is the kind of thinking coming out of Hweird, then it truly is on it's last legs and will soon be gone.

The founding fathers decided that our government would be a constitutional republic, with some principles of democracy, but not the false democracy of ancient Greece. The founders were inspired by the first participatory democracy in the world, that of the Iroquois nation. When will someone publicly shame this piece of crap playing at president?

His entire angle is calculated and too slick, I just don't buy his crap. I know actual 99ers, and each and every one have been and continue to be pounding the pavement looking for work each day. They are damned angry (and have a right to be) about how they are labeled as, "given up looking for work" when referred to by the media. That euphemism, promoted by the Clinton administration, was put forward deliberately to distract from his policies that displaced citizen workers and would continue to do so, long term. I know tech workers, including engineers, who cope with homelessness, while working at minimum wage jobs, I know one who works at a Lowes. I know one who has done everything he can, and currently runs a jack of all trades business out of his home. He does everything from auto repair, lawnmower repair, landscaping, odd jobs, like painting, window washing, computer repair, software design, anything. He's barely keeping a roof over his head, and he's not alone. Frankly, when you buy into the blame the victims of democrats corrupt policies in this way, you are encouraging them to be exploited by the left.. and that is what that fraud blogger is hoping to achieve.. it's been the left's desire that US citizen workers would be displaced, and when desperate enough would be willing dupes for their dream of revolution. Try giving the 99ers the benefit of the doubt, try questioning the left's propaganda on this issue as much as you would when they attack something you believe in. The 99ers are no longer collecting unemployment, their benefits ran out. As things stand, if their jobs weren't sent overseas, the democrats imported visa workers, facilitating the citizen workers being fired. That doesn't make them lazy, or deficient in any way, it rendered them abused, in much the same way we've all been, by the democrats, Exploited, ripped off, cheated. The 99ers aren't our enemies, and it doesn't help when some of us end up willingly being duped by the left into piling on the long term unemployed.. because that is what the leftist blogger on that site wants you to do.

Take a deep breath, and repeat after me, neo-conservatism is a Marxist, Trotskyite, to be specific, movement based on a desire to destroy the republican party and conservatism in the US from within. This isn't rocket science, peeps, it's the plain, unvarnished truth. The founders of neo-conservatism were Trotskyites, it's an established fact. Look at their agenda, look at how they ally so greasily with the left. I swear to God, Nixon wouldn't have got into the trouble he did, if he hadn't allowed neo-cons into his administration, and Reagan, God bless him, wouldn't have allowed that horrible amnesty, were it not for the neo-cons George HW Bush brought on board the administration. Neo-cons aren't our friends, look at what they are in aid of. They ally with the left on the imposition of sharia financing, and support insanity like the Ground Zero Mosque, they demand open borders ,and the displacement of US citizens from the work place, the erosion of our national sovereignty and independence.

Obama plans on looting more of our tax dollars to fund deepwater drilling in socialist Brazil, and in fact, Obama will continue to deny US oil and gas companies from drilling here, and ultimately either drive them out of business, or force them to be dependent on what crumbs they can get overseas, he'll then help his foreign contributing friends to loot the US of it's oil and natural gas. Obama seeks to starve and loot the US. He must be thwarted and removed from office here, as soon as possible. No more shilly shallying. We have Judicial Watch and others exposing the fraud and violations of law of the Obama administration, and the republicans in congress are acting meek and mild, instead of fulfilling their constitutional obligation. This will not stand. They must be forced to call for an independent prosecutor to investigate with an eye to impeachment and removal from office. The time is now, this can not continue.

I'm curious as to why Mr. Aalyami restricts his concern to Saudi Arabia, and neglects to mention the fact that were the Saudi royals to be removed from power, the fact is that the imams and others who would rule it, would impose even harsher undemocratic Islamic rule. His motives would be less suspect by me, had he written an article that takes on the fact that Islam is a religion and a totalitarian system of government, and in no way should be allowed to be established as law as it's not democratic, and that those who are attempting to impose it using the Trojan horse claim of "democracy" are liars and frauds. Can't help but wonder if this is just another attempt to propagandize the US citizenry into paying for and sacrificing for despotic Islamic who view us as useful idiots.

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:00:27 +0000 http://bigpeace.com/elcid/2011/03/17/canadian-mayor-wants-to-save-town-by-attracting-muslims-tax-breaks-offered/#IDComment135662422 http://biggovernment.com/bschaeffer/2011/03/13/polls-confirms-americas-entitlement-culture-even-among-tea-partiers/#IDComment134720716 The last time the US had a fully free market system was when Reagan was president. Unfortunately he allowed neo-cons into his administration, and the worst neo-con of them all, was George H.W. Bush. The US citizenry doesn't deserve to be dumped into the massive pain you'd impose on them without a thought. If you want to thrust us into what the Marxists want, you'd be doing their work for them. All the pain, poverty and suffering they're imposing now, is to create the desperate poverty that would over throw our country like a wildfire. We need to reinstate our free market economy and deal with entitlements in stages. That is the only sane and stable way to resolve the problems we face. First we need to reintroduce independence, and that requires manufacturing and farming in the US, as well as energy independence, through drilling and mining. We need to revoke the visas of the H1Bs, etc.. and round up and mass deport illegals, en masse and to do that, we need a president and congress who will declare an emergency and waive all requirements for immigration hearings for said illegals and visa workers. We need to cut the funding for ESL, and strip illegals and their anchor babies of all entitlement benefits, immediately. We need to cease the democrat practice (George HW Bush also followed this practice) of giving SBA grants of 1 million dollars each, to any foreign national who wants to "invest" in our nation. These grants amount to foreign nationals coming to the US and having the taxpayer pick up all their "investment" expense. They then brought all their workers in on visas, they require subsidies. Those costs have lead to skyrocketing federal, state and local taxes. We need to end foreign ownership of our utilities as well, they need to be purchased by citizens. We need to demand repayment of all TARP and stimulus funding that has gone to banks, whether domestic or foreign owned entities, and to ensure they are paid back, freeze their US assets until they do. Frankly, we have to save our economy at the same time as cuts, so we need to end the outsourcing and displacement immediately as well as starting cutting. NAFTA isn't legal, it never was, as it didn't pass the senate as the constitution requires treaties to. Bill Clinton pretended he could just cal it a law and sign it. Foolish republicans went along with foolish democrats and didn't charge Clinton with violating the law, the constitution and his oath of office, and libertarians certainly didn't either. We can walk away from NAFTA and neither Mexico or Canada could do anything about it. We can end the ridiculous concept of China being a "most favored nation" to trade with, and fight them tooth and nail on trade. It's insane to claim that we can't do anything about our trade imbalance and pretend that we no longer can manufacture in the US, when the fact is, China is allowed to dump it's imports here, yet deny US imports into it's country unless it gets more preferential treatment. We need to not only end incentives to outsourcers, but impose huge tariffs on imports, and massive tax breaks for domestic production, but only for US citizen owned companies, and only those who hire US citizens. We must enact a massive tariff on each foreign worker employed in the US, no exemptions. China can't do squat about this, as they restrict imports from the US into their country. No taxpayer funding to any foreign student or worker. Enact a temporary moratorium on immigration of any kind, until the depression/recession is over. Put citizens to work building a massive border fence, but first, send our army and national guard to the southern border and remove with force, all foreign national drug cartels in our parks along the border. Once secured, send a force of military police into each state and round up illegals and drug cartels, who will be immediately transported out of the US, the way Eisenhower did. As to cutting, the first places to start all deal with foreign expenditure, and other largesse. Cut all foreign aid, all of it, and that includes cutting corporate welfare and subsidies. Here's a clue for those thinking along the lines of.mommy's boys like Brad Schaeffer. No one wants to throw elderly and disabled US citizens out on the street, so you can wreak havoc, get it? We're aware that entitlements have gotten far out of hand, and reforms that would reverse that are necessary, but there is a way to resolve the problem that isn't cruel and heartless. We need to cut off all funding for the executive and legislative branch's travel and frivolous expenditures. Cut all pensions and other benefits. Obamacare needs to be completely defunded, end SCHIP. We need to pull US troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq and not enter into any foreign entanglements unless it's a real emergency, or our economy is stabilized.

Of course you'd like government to cater to your whims, just as the Marxists would. Funny thing about libertarians, irregardless of the fact that the founders wouldn't have identified with your political ideology that's based not on the rights and freedoms they wanted to ensure, but on the system the founders sought to protect us from, you try and infer that libertarianism is compatible with the constitution.. it's not. Liberties aren't one sided, they are reciprocal, but libertarianism isn't based on the reciprocity of rights and freedoms.. it's the reason why libertarians run amok so easily.. that's what happens when one is only interested in what they want, what they feel is right. A libertarian system never would have ended slavery, in fact it would have descended into the same failed type state that we are experiencing now. Only thing is, it never would have had the achievements that the US, as a republic/participatory democracy, we achieved. It would have been worse than Nero's Rome. Libertarians pretend that they support the liberties we as citizens are guaranteed by the constitution, but libertarians actually believe in liberties being only for those with the means to run roughshod over the rights of the rest. It's why libertarians are pro whatever they want. They're incapable and/or unwilling to consider the harm they would perpetuate upon the rest. Obama and those like him, are Marxists, but the same corrupt, diseased mindset that infects them, infects libertarianism, and it's for the same reason. Marxism and libertarianism are both slavery based systems where a corrupt elite wants to have it their own way. Look at looney Bill Maher, he's the way he is, not because he drinks the lefty bongwater, but because he represents the natural progression of libertarianism, and it's thick headed, pig ignorance. Occasionally he'll speak out against some inanity, but then again, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Libertarians love Walmart, and wank on and on about how it's a free market success story. They say the same thing about Microsoft, and they're wrong. Walmart (and Microsoft as well) aren't free market businesses, in fact if you pulled away the corporate welfare they drain away, they'd be on the skids. Walmart demands some cities and towns compensate them 42 cents on the dollar for moving to their towns. They demand subsidies for one thing after another. Microsoft does the same. Walmart and Microsoft, far from the free market support for competition, are terrified of competition. In fact, they use their power to destroy competition. The free market makes prices and wages competitive, and neither corporation like that. Walmart demands and gets, corporate welfare subsidies for their employees, in fact the vast majority of their workers not only take government funded healthcare, but welfare, food stamps and subsidized housing all on the taxpayer's dime, and that's how Walmart likes it. Microsoft doesn't want to higher US citizens, so it demands visas to import cheap foreign labor, based on the lie US citizens aren't adequately educated and skilled, but the visa workers Microsoft brings over, are far less educated and in no way skilled. Bill Gates demands and gets taxpayer funded free college education as well as GED training for those who aren't educated as much as a high school diploma would be, for most if not all of his visa workers. They also receive housing subsidies (section 8 and other low income housing vouchers), medicaid or SCHIP, food stamps and other benefits they aren't legally entitled to, to make Bill Gates happy. Gates also demands and gets taxpayer money to underwrite his investments and to expand his personal business overseas. It's all illegal, and democrats are rubber stamping this excess, but libertarians aren't criticizing it, in fact they think it's swell, when it bumps up their investments. Libertarians talk out of both sides of their face, and like Brad Schaeffer have an ego large enough to allow them to believe they are able to get a leg over.

Wed, 9 Mar 2011 01:46:46 +0000 http://bigpeace.com/stzu/2011/03/08/obamas-pentagon-too-many-whites-men-leading-military/#IDComment133488412 http://bigjournalism.com/dloesch/2011/03/07/alan-dershowitz-asks-and-answers-why-the-jews/#IDComment133163079 With all due respect to Alan Dershowitz, while in and of it's self, the answer might not seem simple, when you come right down to it, it is. The commitment to "never again", was undermined by elites selective attention to the fact that what had happened throughout history, and fulminating in the Holocaust in the middle of the 20th century, was wrong, because NO ONE should be subjected to persecution. Instead, the perception wasn't on upholding the human and civil rights of all people, but on some people being more equal than others. I've read enough of the experiences of people in the US and Canada, citizens, being slandered, harassed and persecuted for daring to stand up to those who would persecute, marginalize, demean and dehumanize them, and those very same innocent people, being attacked not only by the various far leftist groups, but Jewish organizations. I've read the writings of Canadian lawyer/journalist, and Jewish, Ezra Levant, of the harassment he was subjected to merely for exposing the gross violation of the rights of Canadian citizens, by left wing "justice" officials (not part of the court or legal system of Canada) targeting Christians, Jews, mothers, clergy, journalists, you name it, at the behest of leftist pet causes, imams, and various extremist activists. Levant him self was targeted and spent years and lots of money defending him self against an organized machine that had no legal standing, but was facilitated by leftist politicians. Levant exposed leftists within this state enterprise that had made virulent, anti-semitic remarks, violated laws, and every ethical standard imaginable. Each time he stood up for Canadian's free speech rights, Levant was told there was no free speech in Canada. I've read the writings of Stephen Steinlight, who has been marginalized' and slandered by Abe Foxman of the ADL and others like him, because Steinlight (who is himself, Jewish) spoke out against the Jewish leftists who had organized, Progress by Pesach which was intended to demand a wholesale amnesty for illegal aliens. Steinlight dared to speak out, stating that those who claim such activism is in the aid of human and civil rights, while ignoring and attacking poor and vulnerable US citizens, who have been harmed by their displacement by corrupt employers and illegal aliens, that those Jewish leftists are being dishonest about any concern for human and civil rights. Steinlight has been accused of everything under the sun, has been smeared as a racist and as a "right winger", and accused even of associating with anti-semites, all in the name of discrediting him, because those leftists, especially Foxman can't engage in honest debate. Abe Foxman has discredited the ADL, steering it from it's mission of "never again", to one that displays a willingness to support atrocities against those who don't conform to his extremist leftist ideology. When people who claim to stand for doing what's right, are sick and twisted with moral relativism, and they aren't challenged, the end result is, they are in actuality spreading, encouraging moral relativism. They give license to such things. The left allies with the Islamists because they feel the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and so they've embraced the anti-semitism of the Islamists. They weren't challenged on this, in fact leftist Jewish elites seemed to have gone along with it, because they've long embraced moral relativism. I'm sorry, but heartfelt speeches mean nothing without action. We need lawyers who hold corrupt leftists in government and various organizations to the law, to standards. We need to expose gross hypocrisy and fraud. For the most part, those who are being persecuted don't get high priced, fired up lawyers who will defend their rights. They aren't being protected, but Islamists, the left and their various pet causes have multimillionaire funded lobbying and activist groups to attack those who dare to protect their rights. What's needed is what we all should have learned from that poem written by Pastor Niemöller, that not caring because it might not be happening to you at a certain point in time, only assures that once they get around to you, there's no one left to stand with you.

I love Sean Connery. As an aside, while one of my long time favorites, David McCallum (born in 1933, and another similarity he shares with Connery, McCallum was born in Scotland, Glasgow)) isn't a big name celeb, he's certainly had longevity, and has been a favorite of mine since I was 5 years old and started watching The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and was won over by the always intriguing and wonderful character, Illya Kuryakin. I got a kick out of it when I recognized him as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on the hit series, NCIS some years back.

Advocating that Obama be allowed to empty the strategic oil reserves, as Rockefeller demands would leave us without protection in the even of a real crisis. We need real drilling permits for drilling oil (not just natural gas as in the case of the permit for Noble Energy in the Gulf (they aren't drilling for oil). Also, given that the price dropped when Saudi Arabia said they would boost production, the sudden rise due to Libyan conflict is premised on a desire to gouge, not real honest cause. There hasn't been a lessening of oil availability, it's a scam, intent on jacking the prices up even higher. Sat, 5 Mar 2011 16:11:07 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/rfutrell/2011/03/05/abc-finally-asks-the-oil-question/#IDComment132637750 http://biggovernment.com/driehl/2011/03/04/sherrod-brown-wrongly-claims-hitler-opposed-unions/#IDComment132417694 Back when we still had real educators teaching in schools, my junior high western history teacher, Mr. Joseph LaMarca, taught us all about the participation of labor unions in the rise to power of Vladamir Lenin, the imposition of communism in Russia, fascism in Italy, Hitler in Germany, and in the various communist/socialist uprisings and governments in Latin America. Mr, LaMarca didn't just assign reading from the text, he handed out printouts, showed us photographs from the period, and film footage available. Printouts included copies of the trade and labor union propaganda for Lenin, and the rules imposed by Stalin leading up to the purges. How Stalin changed 5 and 6 day work weeks to 7 day work weeks. Made it a criminal offense for a worker to leave his job, until he was allowed to by the state, how managers and workers were to be considered guilty of criminal acts and jailed for leaving work or allowing a worker to leave his job early. How workers were to be assigned to what jobs they could hold by the state, and so on. Stalin purged the state of labor unions, after they had served his purpose. Just as Hitler did. LaMarca showed us, how Hitler rose to power on the backs of the trade and labor unions. The National Socialist Worker's Party was the party of the trade and labor unions. It was leftist, communist/socialist. Not right wing, though the term "right wing" is a European construct, and Marxists include right wing. Trotsky is the father of the neo-conservative movement, though the fact is that Trotsky was considered left wing by Stalinist standards. Marxism gains power by pitting one group against another, and then later pits the survivors of it's purges against the other by dividing those that remain into ever dwindling factions. It's a corrupt, parasitic system, where the vast majority are exploited as slaves for a privileged elite. Hitler attained power through the efforts of labor and trade unions, student activists, academics, writers, actors, gay rights activists, just as Obama has. Hitler's base, were the very same types that Sherrod Brown is seeking to provide cover for. In closing, Mr. LaMarca can't be written off as some crusty old right winger. In fact, at the time I was in his classes would have assumed he was a democrat. I can't claim to know what if any political affiliation he had or didn't have. He was a historian, rather young, in his early 30s, and was considered very cool by his students, and he was appalled by the inhumanity and brutality of what had played out in the world in the 19th and 20th centuries, and he made sure he informed his students. He demanded we think, research and question our political leaders, to ensure that those atrocities were NEVER allowed to happen again. He impressed upon us that those who fail to learn from the mistakes of the past, were condemned to repeat them.

Nor is it accurate to infer that the voter rights crimes by the New Black Panther Party were "isolated incidents". There were also incidents involving the head of the NBPP in Boston, Texas (in Sheila Jackson Lee's district, inclusing incidents during last year's mid term elections) and elsewhere. They weren't widely reported, but some incidents were immediately reported, others trickled out after the Philly incident hit the fan. I followed the Philly incident since it was first reported, and read about the polling place witnesses who lived in the district, who were terrorized as they knew the local police wouldn't protect them given the city and state governent officials were all in the tank. Such abuses perpetuate in a vacuum, and they needed have a long history to be chilling and intimidate citizens from feeling their rights were protected. Once such abuses are seen to be allowed, the perpetrators feel emboldened to grow worse. Eric Holder has violated the law, the constitution and the civil rights of ALL US citizens, and that includes black Americans. It's not much of a step, from violating white Americans' civil rights, to expanding such violations of rights to black Americans. Once precedent is allowed, those at the top who aren't challenged, spread the rot further. Holder is playing the race card, because he's a coward, and is counting on racist blacks, and activist elites to provide cover for him. He can't address the subject with candor, because he knows his lies will fall flat, and expose him to investigation and prosecution. Before too long, it's happening to them, and there's no one left to stand up in their defense. That is standard operating procedure for Marxists, whether in the Soviet Union, during the Nazi's reign of terror in Germany, the fascists in Italy, Maoist China other Communist countries in Asia, Latin America, the Marxist ideologues who are in power in parts of India, Africa. In each of those countries, the useful idiots were made use of, when each no longer were necessary to gain or maintain power, they each were thrown under the bus. If Obama continues to steal and amass more power, he will throw his illegal alien dupes, his black base, the gay rights crowd, the women's movement, et al.. under the bus. History reveals that to happen in each and every instance of fascists like Obama gaining power.
