“All Eyes Are On America, On November 2nd!”

On November 2nd, 2010, all across the world, eyes will be focused on what happens in America.  About 10% of the world want to see America continue as the single most exceptional country on the planet, as they either believe in our values, or they profit from our wealth.
However, the other 90% of the countries of the world would love to see America fall, or become a third-world country like they are.  Envy and jealousy are the emotions that rise in the breasts of billions of the human inhabitants that occupy those countries who have not known, or found freedom and suffer under the iron hand of a dictatorship.
Europeans, including the hapless subjects of Great Britain, have succumbed to the inevitability of socialism.  France and Greece have descended into the savagery of riots, chaos and political instability because the government found out it can’t pay for all that it promises under the socialist model and are forced to make adjustments that the people don’t like.   The rest of Europe will soon follow as they are deadlocked in that same model.  The Germans might escape the collapse, but their connection to the European Union will eventually pull even them down.
Russia is still struggling to find itself after the violent instability of the 20th Century.  From the Czars, to revolution, to mass starvation and executions, to state control of everything, to the point that it now finds itself somewhere in between, still trying to determine which way it wants to go.  Many Russians envy America (we’ve met some) and would like Russia to be like us, but the state maintains an iron grip on politics, finances, resources, commerce and the economy.  Individual freedom is still a pipe dream for the masses.  Cronyism, corruption and elitism are the rule in Russia, rather than the exception.
China on the other hand is toying with a combination of the two “C’s”, capitalism and communism.  It loves the money of capitalism, but abhors the people having any kind of freedom.  An internal conflict, or massive uprising, will surely result from their attempts to merge the two.
Central and South America it seems, will be forever dealing with round after round of dictators and despots.  Some countries in that hemisphere have toyed with a freedom model, but in the end the un-educated peasants would rather be fed and secure, than hungry and free, but in a state of fear.  Mexico is drowning in its own blood from drug cartels that deliver the mind-and-life-altering drugs to drug-crazed Americans, who can’t seem to get enough.  The trouble on our southern border comes from not only the demand for drugs in America, but from the in-ability of the American government to secure that border.
And it would appear that the African continent will be in a state of tribal insanity for many centuries to come, with perhaps the exception of South Africa.
The blazing sun-burnt brains of the Middle East are forever locked in the grip of tribal savagery and radical religious idolatry.  A culture that once gave us the discovery of mathematics, geometry and astronomy, has descended into the dead pool of religious fanaticism.  The only hope they have is if a more powerful country enslaves them and then slowly, over generations, grants them their freedom, after the insanity has been stripped from the culture and their minds.  With more than 1.4 billion of these folks residing on the planet, and at least 10% of them radicalized by a fanatical jihad (death to everyone who isn’t Muslim), given to them in a book by a man who dictated that men could only have four wives while he had ten and a man who decided to propagate his fanatical religion by conquest with the sword and spear instead of peacefully by the strength of his belief, there is little hope for restored sanity, at least for now.  The planet will be dealing with this issue for many more generations to come and could eventually end up in world war over it.
Unfortunately, the other quasi-free countries of the western world, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, have bought into the European model and have beat America to socialism.   However, there appears to be hope for Canada and Australia (and maybe New Zealand), as the drumbeat of freedom and liberty, emanating from America’s Tea Party movement, is beginning to get a foothold in those countries as well.  We can only hope.
But all eyes will be on America come November 2nd.  The harmony of the constitutional song being sung by millions of freedom-loving Americans, is countering the force of the liberals and progressives who would take America to the brink of national bankruptcy by trying to emulate the failed European model.  Some on the planet shudder at the thought of a re-surgence of patriotism, freedom, liberty and national sovereignty in America.  Others secretly cry out for joy that the shining light on the hill will not be extinguished.
What happens in America on November 2nd will signal the direction America is choosing to go.  It will either be a referendum on whether Americans want to be fed and kept safe and secure in bondage by a nanny government, or whether they will choose the path that was set out for them 234 years ago by a few brave men who challenged the prevailing wisdom of top-down control of the masses and instead set out a blue print for free men and women with common purpose and resolve to live out their lives and govern their individual and collective affairs by adhering to that blue print.” The guidance of that blue print, through 160 years of significant change, allowed a free society to pioneer, grow and prosper into the strongest nation in all of recorded human history. What remains to be seen is whether this nation, or any nation, so conceived in liberty, can long endure.  There are doubts on many fronts.
Millions of Americans have abdicated their individual rights, the gift from their creator, and handed them over to a government that is growing in power by the day because of it.  It remains to be seen whether those that still cherish individual freedom, free choice, free markets and capitalism can overcome those that have given their power to the government, in exchange for security and a few pieces of silver.  This election on November 2nd is not about Democrat or Republican.  It is about the very survival, or the final destruction of our Constitutional Republic.  November 2nd will indicate that the mood for a change to freedom is in the air, or that too many Americans have just given in to the all-powerful government, in exchange for comfort and free gifts, that will only turn them into slaves instead of free men.

For those Americans who still believe in their country (and even those that don’t), we encourage you to view the interview between a conservative member of the European Parliament (Daniel Hannan) and an American journalist (Peter Robinson) HERE, (http://www.humanevents.com/UncommonKnowledge.php) for a perspective on America that you will not see anywhere in America.  We take our freedom for granted, instead of being grateful for what we have, that no other citizen, in any country on Earth, has.  When we take our freedom for granted, we de-value its vital importance to our lives and our liberty.  Mr. Hannan points this out to us so succinctly.

What happens in America on November 2nd could ripple like a giant tsunami all around the planet, or end up being a sign that America has succumbed to weakness, corruption and tyranny within its own soul, like so many other countries that could not hold onto freedom.  If that is the path that America chooses to take in 2010, the Liberty Bell might just be silenced forever.
We say:
If you believe our message is true, feel free to forward it, along with our images, to your list.

Even Washington Post Turns on Obama!

By John W. Lillpop

An editorial in the October 30 Washington Post (see reference 1) says it all about the political implosion of former Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama.

Yes, the Washington Post has finally seen the light and admits that the glow is not from the effervescent halo around Obama’s bloated head!

All patriotic Americans, parents, and others who care about America should read this editorial in total before voting on Tuesday:

From the Washington Post:

President Obama’s post-partisan America has disappeared, replaced by the politics of polarization, resentment and division.

In a Univision interview on Monday, the president, who campaigned in 2008 by referring not to a “Red America” or a “Blue America” but a United States of America, urged Hispanic listeners to vote in this spirit: “We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”

Recently, Obama suggested that if Republicans gain control of the House and/or Senate as forecast, he expects not reconciliation and unity but “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill.

What a change two years can bring.

We can think of only one other recent president who would display such indifference to the majesty of his office: Richard Nixon.
We write in sadness as traditional liberal Democrats who believe in inclusion. Like many Americans, we had hoped that Obama would maintain the spirit in which he campaigned.

Instead, since taking office, he has pitted group against group for short-term political gain that is exacerbating the divisions in our country and weakening our national identity. The culture of attack politics and demonization risks compromising our ability to address our most important issues – and the stature of our nation’s highest office.

Indeed, Obama is conducting himself in a way alarmingly reminiscent of Nixon’s role in the disastrous 1970 midterm campaign. No president has been so persistently personal in his attacks as Obama throughout the fall. He has regularly attacked his predecessor, the House minority leader and – directly from the stump – candidates running for offices below his own. He has criticized the American people suggesting that they are “reacting just to fear” and faulted his own base for “sitting on their hands complaining.”

Obama is walking a knife’s edge. He has said that the 3.5 million “shovel-ready jobs” he had referred to as justification for the passage of the stimulus bill didn’t exist – throwing all the Democratic incumbents who had defended the stimulus in their campaigns under the proverbial bus.

Although he said, as part of his effort to enact health-care reform, that the health-care mandates were not taxes, now his administration acknowledges in court papers that they are, in fact, taxes.

As Election Day approaches, the president and others in the Democratic leadership have focused on campaign finance by moneyed interests – an ancillary issue serving neither party nor country. They have intensified attacks on business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and individual political operatives such as Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie – insisting that organizations are fronting for foreign campaign money and large secret donations and campaign expenditures. Even the New York Times has noted that “a closer examination shows that there is little evidence” that these organizations have engaged in activities that are “improper or even unusual.”

It astounds us to hear such charges from the president given that his presidential campaign in 2008 refused to disclose the names of all of its donors, and in past election cycles many liberal groups, such as the Sierra Club and the Center for American Progress, refused to disclose their contributors.

To be clear, we favor disclosure of every dollar spent and closing the disclosure loophole that exists as a result of the Citizens United ruling. But it is disingenuous for a president – particularly one whose campaign effectively dynamited the lone beachhead of public financing in American politics – to scream about money pouring in against his political interests.

We are also disturbed that the office of the president is mounting attacks on private individuals, such as the founders of the group Americans for Prosperity. Having been forged politically during Watergate – one of us was the youngest member of Nixon’s enemies list – we are chilled by the prospect of any U.S. president willing to marshal the power of his office against a private citizen.

The president is the leader of our society. That office is supposed to be a unifying force. When a president opts for polarization, it is not only bad politics, but it also diminishes the prestige of his office and damages our social consensus.
Moreover, the divisive rhetoric that Obama has pursued can embolden his supporters and critics to take more extreme actions, worsening the spiral.

Whatever the caliber of Obama’s tactics, they might achieve some short-term success. The Republican Party has offered no narrative or broad solution, and it has campaigned exclusively to take advantage of the negative environment. It contributes merely a promise of a more hostile environment after Tuesday.

With the country beset by economic and other problems, it is incendiary that the president is not offering a higher vision for the nation but has instead chosen a strategy of rank division. This is an attempt to distract from the perceived failures of his administration. On issue after issue this administration has acted in ways that are weakening the office of the president.”

To which I say, amen and amen.

Although Obama is not on the ballot this year, his failed policies and the stooges who voted for them are.

Send Washington a message even the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid can grasp: Get your bloodied Marxist paws off America and get the hell out of town!

Why Sarah Palin is Ten Times the Leader Barack Could Ever Hope to Be

By Kelly O’Connell Full Story

“Obama against Palin—Are you nuts? Barack would wipe the floor with Sarah in every category without even trying!” Well, that’s what many Americans said when comparing the two in 2008. But oh, my—how the worm has turned! With Barack spending his whole presidency falling in the polls (now at 37%), even his own party can only hope to be elected by pretending they don’t know him.

Solving America’s Problems
By Jim O’Neill Full Story

I recently spent some time pondering how to solve some of the problems besetting America, and I thought that perhaps others might be interested in the solutions I came up with.  So here they are:
Goodbye Global Warming, Hello Biodiversity
By Alan Caruba Full Story

After three decades of trying to push the global warming scam to a point where billions could be made selling and trading bogus “carbon credits”, the global schemers have abandoned it in the wake of 2009 revelations that a handful of rogue climate scientists were literally inventing the data to support it.
Obama Justice Dept. Denies Military Vote, Blames GOP
By Warner Todd Huston Full Story

The head of the Obama Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, admitted this week that he has no real intention of trying to assure that members of our military are afforded their right to vote, and will not attempt in a timely fashion to enforce the MOVE Act (Military and Overseas Voter Empower Act) intended to make sure that our soldiers get their ballots with time enough to return them so that they can be counted on election day.
Well, I Swear! But to Who?
By Mike Foil Full Story

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”

On 9/11, of 2010, I wrote an article with the title, “Domestic Enemies of the Constitution”, which was published on Canada Free Press.  This article discussed the various oaths that our elected officials and military personnel swear upon entering their new positions.

They’re baaaaaaack.

Before the Philly New Black Panther Party radicals showed up at a voting booth in 2008 with billy clubs and racial epithets at the ready, my old nemesis Malik Shabazz — the NBPP thug-in-chief — put out a nationwide warning. Remember?

“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people.”

Come Tuesday, We WILL Remember, and It Will Be Our Turn to “Kick A**!”

 

By John W. Lillpop

Before voting for any Democrat on November 2, voters who really care about the future of America need to reflect on the old adage which holds that, “Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.”

That truth has never been more in evidence than over the past two years, during which time America has been in the hands of an ultra-liberal Democrat in the White House and equally far left Democrats presiding over majorities in both chambers of Congress.

The results of the Obama, Reid, and Pelosi deadly stranglehold on our precious nation are ugly, indeed, and include the following particularly grievous atrocities:

REFUSAL TO PROVIDE EQUAL PROTECTION FOR ALL

This outrage is so unbelievable that it continues to stun and amaze.

On November 4, 2008, voters in Philadelphia were intimidated by members of the New Black Panther Party while attempting to cast ballots.

Before President Bush left office in January of 2009, his Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit under the Voting Rights Act against the New Black Panthers Party.

However, once Obama appointees to the DOJ took over, charges against the New Black Panther members were dropped.

On September 24, 2010, former Justice Department prosecutor Christopher Coates, in testimony at a U.S. Civil Rights Commission Hearing, shocked the nation when he revealed that the voter intimidation case was dropped because the suspects were black and their alleged victims were white.

“They have not pursued the goal of equal protection of the law for all people,” Coates reportedly said.

Repeat: According to a former Justice Department prosecutor, our federal government refused to prosecute claims when the plaintiffs were white.

People of color: Take no solace in this injustice. In this case, the victims of government bias are white people.

But what about next time? Will it be YOUR race or nationality or cause that the Obama administration arbitrarily refuses to protect?

FORSAKING AMERICAN CITIZENS IN FAVOR OF FOREIGN INVADERS

The Democrat party has been the “illegal alien” party for a number of years. This is so because liberals can no longer rely on reasonable Americans for votes and power.

Thus, the need for advocating on behalf of millions of uneducated, poor illegal invaders who are easily persuaded provided the free benefits (health care, education, welfare, etc.) are doled out in sufficient quantities.

True to their sinister disregards for the rule of law, American sovereignty, and preservation of American culture and language, Democrats consider invading criminals to be “Newly Arrived Refugees,” and, more importantly, future Democrats.

This betrayal of America and American citizens reached a new low in 2010 as President Obama ordered his administration to file suit against Arizona because of SB 1070, the state’s attempt to protect citizens from the ravages of foreign invaders.

Unbelievable! The United States government suing an American state for resisting invasions from foreign criminals!

Even more outrageous was the betrayal of America by Congressional Democrats on May 19, 2010, when all Democrats in the House and Senate gave Mexican President Felipe Calderon a standing ovation for his condemnation of Arizona and law SB 1070!

Remember: On May 19, all Democrats in the U.S. Congress stood to cheer a foreign leader who had just condemned Arizona law makers for protecting American citizens.

How can any reasonably-patriotic American vote for any Democrat after such vile and treasonous behavior?

PLAYING POLITICS WITH AMERICAN LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN

In his book titled, “Obama’s Wars” journalist Bob Woodward exposes the fact that winning the war in Afghanistan has never been much of a priority to Obama or the Democrats.

Which is why Obama insisted on a time table for withdrawal, a carefully crafted commitment that would bring the troops home in time for the 2012 presidential election.

How can any thinking American vote for any Democrat when the Democrat Commander-in-chief uses American troops as pawns in a deadly game of political chess?

USE OF BRIBERY AND SLEIGHT-OF-HAND TO PASS MARXIST OBAMACARE

The notion that the United States Congress provides “Honest, Open Government” to legislate and govern was blown all to hell by the political chicanery, cheating, and behind the scenes bribery used by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, with considerable help from Obama, to pass a Marxist form of health care called ObamaCare.

ObamaCare was, and is, opposed by most Americans, and for good reasons.

To begin with, ObamaCare mandates that American citizens purchase health care or face the travails of dealing with the IRS for non-compliance.

In addition, the assumptions and projections behind ObamaCare have already proven to be faulty at best, criminal at worst.

How can any thinking American vote for any Democrat knowing that this party has taken away freedom of choice from Americans when it comes to health care, and has used bribery and sleight-of-hand to pass legislation that America does not need or want?

All of the calamities identified could have been averted, or their impact at least minimized, had the U.S. Congress fulfilled it constitutional obligation to provide oversight of the Executive Branch.

Under the partisan leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, oversight was a forgotten (ignored!) virtue.

As a result, Executive incompetence, overreaching, and blatantly anti-American misbehavior were never challenged, except when Pelosi or Reid sought even greater liberal excesses.

Again, “Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.”

Although the list of atrocities committed by the unholy trifecta of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi is nearly endless, there are a few that are particularly outrageous and should serve as a wake-up call to anyone considering a vote for any Democrat.

These four outrages are the most irritating and anger-provoking to me. There are hundreds more.

The bottom line is that the Democrat Party no longer operates with the best interests of the American people in mind. A lust for power and an obsession with socialism makes Democrats completely out of mainstream America.

Please carefully consider these outrages before voting for any Democrat!

Sarah Palin: Lisa, are you going to shut down my Facebook page for writing this?

Lisa, are you going to shut down my Facebook page for writing this?

by Sarah Palin on Friday, October 29, 2010 at 11:20pm

Yesterday, Lisa Murkowski’s hired guns threatened radio host Dan Fagan, and more importantly, the station that airs Fagan’s show, with legal action for allegedly illegal “electioneering.” The station, unlike Murkowski, who is flush with millions of dollars from vested corporate interests, does not have a budget for a legal defense. So it did what any small market station would do when threatened by Beltway lawyers charging $500 to $1000 an hour – they pulled Dan Fagan off the air.

 

Does all this sound heavy handed? It is. It is an interference with Dan Fagan’s constitutional right to free speech. It is also a shocking indictment against Lisa Murkowski. How low will she go to hold onto power? First, she gets the Division of Elections to change its write-in process – a process that Judge Pfiffner correctly determined had been in place without change for 50 years. She is accepting financial support from federal contractors, an act that is highly questionable and now pending before the FEC. And today, she played her last card. She made it clear that if you disagree with her and encourage others to exercise their civic rights, she’ll take you off the air.

 

The concept of “electioneering” involves several issues, but typically refers to campaigning at the polls, which is appropriately banned. Under federal law, it can also mean paying for advertising on broadcast media during a federal election cycle, and it requires disclosures if done by groups and corporations. Fagan used satire to mock Murkowski’s write-in efforts and encouraged Alaskans to run as write-in candidates. That is not illegal. That is free speech.

 

Individuals like Dan Fagan have a fundamental right to speak their minds without threats from the incumbent Senator from Alaska. It is hard to find a constitutional right Americans cherish more than the right to free speech. This was a right Joe Miller, as a decorated combat veteran – a tank commander tested in battle, was willing to die to defend. Dan Fagan has not always agreed with me, but I will gladly defend his right to speak freely on his radio show, which he has often used to criticize me. In fact, Fagan has actually used his radio show to attack and insult me, my husband, my children, and my family in just about every way possible. He was especially insulting to my son, who left for a war zone to defend Fagan’s right to attack our family. But when I was his governor, I never would have dreamed of threatening his right to free speech. I support him in this fight because this D.C. Beltway thuggery, as exemplified by Lisa Murkowski’s latest threat, is ruining our country. The powers that be want ordinary Americans to sit down and shut up and let the ruling class ride us right off the debt cliff we’re heading towards with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid steering the nation’s car. We can’t let them. Now is the time to put aside our past differences and stand up to the establishment powers.

 

This whole episode confirms again why we need to elect Joe Miller. Lisa, you can sue me if you want (you won’t be the first). But I will not be intimidated from speaking my mind. Your intimidation just empowered us liberty-loving Alaskans. Are you really that out of touch?

Nov. 2 – Expect Huge Turns to the Right Unless ACORNs and Labor Unions Play Their Dirty Tricks

Nov. 2 – Expect Huge Turns to the Right Unless ACORNs and Labor Unions Play Their Dirty Tricks
By Jerry McConnell Full Story

imageMy advice to all election polling places, and I mean ALL, is to keep your eyes and ears open for unorthodox behavior not just during hours of voting, but before and after when sneaky hands can deface or change voting results.

And don’t think that these sleazy, unprincipled, conscienceless predators from ACORN, or whatever names they now sport to cover their past sins for which they have yet to be punished, are not benefactors for the liberals.

Could It Be Obama’s October Surprise?
By Ron Ewart Full Story

imageWe’ve been waiting for it and expecting it, knowing that it would happen.  Obama’s October surprise has landed (pun intended), or so it would seem.

How convenient!  Five days before the November 2nd election, Obama comes up with a so-called “credible” security alert and takes the opportunity to “brief” Americans (on TV of course, with the ubiquitous teleprompter) on how competent he is and how in-control the government is of this terrorist threat from Yemen.  F-15’s were reported to be shadowing an airplane that was coming in from Yemen, over Canadian airspace, before it landed at JFK.  As we all know, Yemen is the hotbed of Al Queda-sponsored terrorist activity, at the hands of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, who turned traitor, or so we are told.  Does anyone trust what government tells us these days?
A Storm is Coming
By Daniel Greenfield Full Story

imageIf you’ve ever seen a movie in which a boat is caught in a storm. At first the waves are distant and the crew ignores them. Then suddenly the storm has swept in and everyone is running for cover, doing anything they can to prepare for a storm that’s already here.

And that’s the left wing of the Democratic party right now, too slow to recognize the storm because of its media cocoon and now rushing to throw anything they can at it, from voter fraud to scandals and smears.
