So Many Topics, So Little Time.

The bane of my existence these days is not what to write about, it is keeping up with it all. Thanks to some very devoted friends, I am getting lots of help these days.

My key problem is now, "Where shall I start?" Is it with the President as CEO of the now Government Motors? Naw, that's old news. How about I start with what else happened while he was busy putting on the news blitz smokescreen that made you and I purveyors of warranty safety on each and every GM vehicle?

The toss up says I will focus on Mr. Harold Koh. If you know who Harold Koh is, please raise your hand. [Lengthy Pause] No takers today? Okay, I'll share.

Harold Koh is Obama's new appointment for Legal Advisor to the Department of State.

Harold Koh is former dean of the Yale Law School.

Harold Koh has written several books, among them "The National Security Constitution: Sharing Power after the Iran-Contra Affair (Yale University Press,1990); Transnational Legal Problems (with Harry Steiner and Detlev Vagts, Foundation Press, 1994); and Deliberative Democracy and Human Rights (with Ronald C. Slye, Yale University Press, 1999). He has also written many book chapters, law review articles, and other published works.

Harold Koh has some pretty "out there" ideas, the most unenjoyable by far is the fact that Harold Koh testified before the 2005 Senate Judiciary Committee that the appointment of Alberto Gonzales was undesirable as attorney general of the United States, because of Gonzales' alleged role in attempting to provide legal guidance to the U.S. military stating:

"The War on Terror "renders obsolete" and "renders quaint" aspects of the Geneva Conventions."

In another award winning unenjoyable statement, as it was reported by Meghan Clyne of the New York Post, Koh addressed the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, saying that in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why...

"Sharia Law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States."

Just in case you don't know about the type of things Sharia Law covers, punishment runs the gamut for any number of offenses, for instance: not saying your prayers facing East 5 times a day could result in a public flogging, disobeying your husband could result in beheading, theft can result in the loss of hands, feet or both, and imprisonment and public flogging for a single woman or widow to even speak to a single unrelated man alone.

Here is a video of Britian citizens gathering in a meeting to combat the recent law, that is not a law on the books, but is being practiced in the courts, to allow Sharia Law in their country.



Here is another video giving you just the idea of what types of things you can expect under Sharia Law in our country. I encourage you to click on the video and go see some of the related videos in this set.



Yeah. That's just what we need in America.....

More topics you should take a look at today and that I will probably go into later in greater detail:

1. Clinton offered an olive branch to Taliban in Pakistan right after they killed dozens who stood against them. (Free Republic) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2218771/posts

2. On another note, Russia calls a return to the Gold Standard. As a friend and fellow freedom fighter said to me… “interesting that prior to the G20 conference, we appear to be being flanked by a calculating axis of "former" communists, who are actually exercising Austrian economic school doctrine in trying to stabilize their currency as opposed to the "kinkos" nature of the fed/treasury axis of evil. The dollar is in for a tumble, with pressure from all sides, most of all... ours.” I couldn’t agree. We are being conditioned right now to accept a new reserve currency and it will mean, more than anything, the end of America as we know it. (Free Republic) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2218824/posts

3. The President also signed the massive Omnibus LAND MANAGEMENT BILL yesterday, placing many simple things under “federal imprisonment” should we innocently do them, such as collecting rocks or fossils, and which is filled with pork out the wazoo. A total of 170 bills are in this baby and Reid did a little sleight of hand to get it through. Take a gander at http://spectator.org/archives/2009/03/31/toxic-omnibus-anti-energy-anti/

4. Oh, and we can’t forget Kerry’s renewed interest in banning weapons due to the border war manufactured truths…. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6350856.html

5. Watch out for HR 1444, the adjunct bill to HR 1388 in committee now. This one seeks to make service mandatory again, something the HR 1388 took out.

6. From Yid with a Lid Blogger, George Soros and John Podesta are trying to "quiet" non-liberal commentators through convincing advertisers to pull their advertising. Check out his blog, it is always good.

7. In another brilliant move, this from DC Examiner "the House Financial Services Committee, led by chairman Barney Frank, approved a measure that would, in some key ways, go beyond the most draconian features of the original AIG bill. The new legislation, the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009," would impose government controls on the pay of all employees -- not just top executives -- of companies that have received a capital investment from the U.S. government. It would, like the tax measure, be retroactive, changing the terms of compensation agreements already in place. And it would give Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner extraordinary power to determine the pay of thousands of employees of American companies."

Perhaps now you can see I don't know which topic to cover first, last or in the middle. More to come on these last 7 and more.

Until then, have a great day and fight the good fight! And always remember....Don't get mad, get even.

Oh the Language!

Am I the only one who notices or is the Language being bandied about these days by our fearless leaders pretty frightening....?

For instance, I was reading the Washington Post today when I came across Geithner's new comment as he is asking Congress for more power.

"Geithner: New Regulatory Power Over Financials Should
Rest With FDIC

10:54 A.M.: Geithner said the governments sweeping new powers to seize non-bank financial institutions, if passed by Congress, would be based on the FDIC's model.

Asked by Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) where such sweeping powers would rest, Geithner said "we would rely on the FDIC to run the regime." [italics mine] http://voices.washingtonpost.com/economy-watch/2009/03/geithner_new_rules_of_the_game.html?hpid=topnews"

The use of words like "regime", "czars", "domestic security forces" and so many other similar words coming out of the mouths of Obama and Geithner lately, well...are kind of, sort of really freaking me out. Language like this sounds to me like Obama's middle name may start with an "H", but I'm thinkin' it might really end with the letters "itler" rather than "ussain".

I'm just saying....

Reid's Threatening the Use of Reconciliation HUH?

The lovely and gracious Senator Reid is on the bandwagon once again! How fun! I have to ask myself, "Whatever would we do without the entertainment?"

Today he says he is going to use the oft unused Reconciliation Rule to lock Republicans out of a say on the healthcare bill. This means it only takes 51 votes instead of 60 to lock out a filibuster. And he has the bumbling VP Biden to cast his vote should he need him. (Hopefully he won't use the "f" word on the live mic while he's voting!)

God love Harry Reid (because no one else does).

Oh how our joyous "Spirit of Bipartisanship" (as touted so loudly by Obama) is once again out the window. It is now replaced with the resounding taunts of bullies everywhere - "Nanny-nanny, boo-boo! We aren't going to let you have a say in our Healthcare policy, you dirty dog Republicans, you! We are going to make it next to impossible for you to filibuster and you can't make us! Nanny-nanny boo-boo, Suckers!"

Well, good. This fed up musing mind of mine says, "Have at it, Mr. Reid. Just Keep It Up! I hope you understand that this means that you WILL lose your seat next election Mr. Reid. If I (and other's like me) have to sell everything we own to give it all to the Conservative contender, work our little feet to bloody stumps stumping for the other guy, call all our friends in the lovely State of Nevada and generally do everything we possibly can in a legal sense to make your life a living hell every day of your campaign. We promise sir, we will do just that. In fact, many of us simply can't wait for the celebration as we stand on election night to see you ushered directly into the netherworld of 'We just aren't that into you.'"

I'm just saying.

Awakening the Sleeping Giant

Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was portrayed in the film “Tora! Tora! Tora!” (circa 1970) as saying, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." after his attack on Pearl Harbor.

It is a matter of lore’s and legends. It is, from another Yamamoto saying, a matter of “kicking the sleeping rabid dog”.

I do not know if the first legend is true or partly true, the only thing I know is that it was an accurate description of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

It could also well be descriptive of the America we see today.

March 2008, we were a pretty happy crew here in America. We believed in our country. We did our jobs and [mostly] trusted our elected officials and bank officials to do theirs.

We saw the election gearing up but weren’t yet in the frame of mind to pay much attention. We were busy working and planning our summer vacations. We were enjoying the fact that we were seeing our nest eggs grow to along with the DOW to the 14,000 mark. More importantly, we felt safe again, safe to fly, safe from terrorism and safe in our homes.

We didn’t know a thing about CDO’s or CDS’s or the coming market crash. We didn’t understand Mark to Market accounting rules. We had a real life to live. We didn’t understand the army of volunteers that were being commissioned through ACORN.

We didn’t much like our gas prices or our housing starts slow-downs or our declining values in the housing markets, but we didn’t see what all that meant. No one was sounding alarm bells. We weren’t being told much.

We slept well at night.

Today, one short year later we have gone through some estimate a total of 20 Trillion Dollars in bailouts and promised bailouts. As a whole, this nation has lost $18 Trillion with a "T" worth of PERSONAL wealth.

We are facing the largest budget ever sent to Congress by the new President Obama – some say more than all past President’s combined! This weekend Obama placed 1,000,000 feet on the street to get signatures for petitions on that very same monstrosity he calls a budget, in the continuing campaign saga that has become Obama’s legacy. The Obama Forum has morphed into Obama 2.0. 2.0 is now being funded through our tax dollars, which are going through groups like ACORN to help him continue to beat his drum. He is raising money and he is making it work for him.



We are seeing bills that chip away at our Constitution being passed at an alarming rate. We are being threatened with being conscripted into a National Service Organization. Our Census has been taken AWAY from the Dept. of Commerce and put into the hands of the White House and one Rahm Emmanuel Chief of Staff. Our 401k’s are now better defined as 201k’s. The government doesn’t seem to care what we have to say on any matter as they rush through bill after bill without reading a single line.

Meanwhile, our tax bills are set to rise exponentially with a purported $168,000 additional debt to our government for each person in the USA. Per person is not to be confused with per WORKING person, it is every man, woman and child.

We felt lost. We felt alone. We marveled at the rock star status of this new President. We dealt with a “Get in their face” mentality from the left and an onslaught of media flagellation such as has never been seen before - during and after the campaign - it never ends.

Conservatives realized what Obama’s true message was really saying back about July or August. The left never got it, or if they did, they really wanted it, which is even more stunning.

Suddenly the group that houses mainly conservative pacifists find ourselves swiftly changing gears to become activist. A groundswell of various groups are popping up all over, Tea Parties, We Surround Them groups, even old school groups like CATO and The Heritage Foundation are gaining huge new momentum.

The media won’t cover us, but we are becoming our own media, learning to navigate the once spooky waters of the internet and to collaborate with other groups like Grassfire.org’s www.resistnet.com.

We are aiming for 2,000,000,000 feet on the street through Tea Party Demonstrations, word of mouth, Facebook and other group sites like Meetup and the Ning’s social networks. We are organizing seminars, training, education, and book clubs. We have Congressional Watch groups, are sending millions of emails, calling a thousand times, writing letters and faxes. We are learning to blog and twitter, and we are peppering the online publication articles through their comment sections with our opinions and good old common sense.

We are learning a bravery and courage we didn’t know we possessed on the ashes of the political graveyard of our great country.

From my little corner of the world, it appears that Obama has awakened that sleeping giant. He has kicked that proverbial sleeping rabid dog.

It is up to each one of us to make sure that this administration, this legislature and even this judicial system begins to understand that we truly are serious. We are mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore. BTW, did you know that 1 phone is counted as 13,000 calls when you call your representatives. Your one little phone call suddenly became quite powerful!

It would be interesting to find out how many opinions or votes are changed by that one letter or fax....

To that end, my new blog ‘The Point’ is to remind us we do count. Some might be long blogs, some might be pithy, some even funny. I hope you will however read them and contribute to them. I want nothing more than to offer a place for us all to enjoy, to commiserate, to unite, and to destroy what this current government is doing to our country. I want to never give up and to never let up on them – equaling our ferocity to their ferocity of not letting up on us, not giving us a breather. This is musings from a fed up mind, pure and unadulterated. I hope you join me!

And by the way....This crisis Mr.’s Obama and Emmanuel is NOT your opportunity to destroy this country! Do to me what you may, Mr. Socialist Man, but I will NOT shut up. You kicked this rapid dog, now deal with it.

"Lady Mi" Wants a Garden....

The point is that the Obama family gets fresh organic food while the rest of us get forced to eat the poison that Rosa DeLauro's HR 875 bill is destined to treat our food with. What do you want to bet the White House won't be using the pesticides our organic growers are going to be forced to use? Woo hoo, aren't your cockles warmed now?
