Anita Dunn: Communist Witch Leading the Witch Hunt?

Clear

Anita Dunn and the White House have pledged to push back and stop news stories that are either inaccurate or unflattering. She has said that, “Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it is not ideological.” Furthermore, she said, “let's not pretend they're a news organization like CNN is."

Obviously, her stance ruffled some feathers. It is one thing to fight inaccuracies in the news, it is something altogether different to fight unflattering references. (The WASHINGTON POST ran a very flattering fluff piece on Ms. Dunn today, by the way, in the Style Section.)

She was also exposed by Glenn Beck today for a speech she made to high school students in which she praised her “two favorite political philosophers,” Mao Zedong (Tse-tung) and Mother Teresa. This statement raises serious questions!

Cloudy

First of all, why is she calling Mother Teresa a “political philosopher,” and why would she, a liberal, favor her? Mother Teresa was a humble servant of God who spoke against abortion, even for the poverty-stricken women to whom she dedicated her life in Calcutta.

Mao, on the other hand, was a political philosopher of the vilest nature. He founded the People’s Republic of China, but his process for doing so included genocide and starvation, the result of which was at least 48 million dead at his hand or because of his “philosophies.”

So, again, we have to ask, “Why?” Why does Obama constantly surround himself with people who admire the very people who would be our enemies? Why does he surround himself with Communist-loving and Marxist-thinking advisors that bring a radical Socialist agenda to the table for America?

Hopefully, with these revelations, we will soon sing, “Ding dong, the Witch is Dead!"

Volunteers "Forced" into Service?

Cloudy

Most of the major networks are planning a barrage of advertising and show content during the third full week in October to push for one of President Obama’s community organizing schemes, public service. I know there is nothing inherently wrong with public service and volunteerism. However, I know the protests over this will be about the same, if not worse, than Obama’s plan to speak to the nation’s school children. You will either hear about or be a part of yet another national outcry. Why would there be any objection to volunteer work to help others? Why would anyone object to television commercials that encourage that?

Clear

There is a myriad of “reasons,” most of which liberals will just scream are “excuses,” and most of them have nothing to do with public service.

First, it’s the idea of control. This White House is getting too intrusive into the daily lives of Americans. The Czars and advisors, especially those environmentalists who seem to hate the fact that the earth is populated with humans, want to force us into electric cars (that need burning coal to recharge), give up farmland in favor of bait fish (farmland that could support wind or solar farms instead of people and vegetables), and even take away our plush toilet paper and force more expensive, more energy-consumptive, rough and non-absorptive paper to chap our buns to save the old growth trees (in a country with more trees than we had 100 years ago).

Second, there is the idea of indoctrination. On the heels of hearing school children singing the praises of Barrack Hussein Obama instead of America (a trend that surfaces in almost every speech that the President himself gives, particularly before foreign audiences), people will be further enraged. On the heels of watching Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore “pledge allegiance” to Obama and the tatted thug-looking Chili Pepper kiss himself in praise of Obama, people will resist. The “school house stand” of conservatives was not about a speech, it was about the message that their children would be asked to praise the MAN in the same way that the National Endowments of the Arts, using tax money, has been recruiting artists to glorify the MAN. Not the office. Not the country. The MAN.

Third, there is the idea of unholy betrayal. There was the disappointment that the President did not honor the National Day of Prayer, but did honor the Red Chinese anniversary and hosted Muslim prayer in our nation’s capital. There was the dismay that the President painted a house on 9-11, a day when the names of the dead were being called out and honored in prayer, while he has embraced the sworn enemies that were supportive of that very holocaust. There is the criticism that he sat for years to listen to a minister preach, “God Damn America,” and then appointed a pedophilic School Safety Czar who said, “F—K God!”

Fourth, there is the idea that our administration does not honor the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The White House acts to stomp out the First Amendment. They tried to stop e-mailers and bloggers with their “snitch” and “flag” mail. They tried to commandeer the computers of people logging onto “clunker” sites. They are collecting data on everyone who taps into any social network connected to the White House, including those that exercise their right to write to the President of the United States. They have threatened to eliminate conservative talk radio and are now beginning a witch hunt to quiet and denigrate Fox News because that station calls them out on almost every issue that has been listed on this page.

And last, there is the idea that Obama’s “fundamental change for America” equates to producing a socialist nation that will adopt a declaration of “dependence.” We know now that he ran for office with the intent and purpose of destroying our liberties to provide us with the security of a “nanny nation” that can “better” make decisions for us. We know now of how corrupt several of the community organizing groups with which he worked were, which is why very few trusted that the Olympics in Chicago wouldn’t become but another slush fund for the elite. We know now that they want to redistribute the wealth by letting the powerful make every decision over what resources we will have any access to as they control all of the purse strings. We know now how all too many of the people around our President, put there at his request, are Communists, Marxists, Socialists and radicals with beliefs that border on zoophilia, eugenics, euthanasia, and social engineering.

Yes, there will be an outcry over network programming next week. There will be a boycott. But, it won’t be about volunteer service. These people are already involved in Boys and Girl Scouts. They are already teaching Sunday School classes and helping with Vacation Bible School. They are already pitching in at senior centers, driving for Meals on Wheels or serving mission meals , contributing to charities, and lending a hand to neighbors. They are already building habitats for humanity, planting and maintaining inner-city gardens and green spaces, and guiding tours in museums, parks and public landmarks. They are already collecting in their neighborhoods for The March of Dimes, opening their homes to people and animals in need of care, cleaning their adopted mile of highway or waterway and contributing their time and talents to enrich the lives of others. These are the people who don’t need to be, or want to be, indoctrinated into doing or believing anything other than goodness and mercy, freedom and liberty. And they will unite when they think their beliefs are in jeopardy.

If you don’t see this next week, you’ll see it next November.

Move Off Uncle Sam's Plantation: Star Parker

Cloudy

I have been extremely impressed with the work and words of Star Parker, yet I reviewed a video of the “ladies” on The View grilling her as though she was the lowest form of life. They questioned her, without allowing adequate time for her responses, on homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion, birth control, and even evolution! Their disdain for her was vile. How could anyone with any sense not see how amazing Ms. Parker is? (Perhaps I just answered that question.)

Clear

Star Parker is a shining example of an American who fully understands the difference between liberty and security. She was a “secure” single mother on the welfare rolls of Los Angeles for years; working the system so that she didn’t have to work, feeding on liberal propaganda and food stamps, and letting a progressive “nanny” state provide for her family’s needs.

After accepting Christ, she not only found dignity for herself as she left what she called “Uncle Sam’s Plantation,” but she’s helped others do the same through CURE, the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education, a 501c3 non-profit think tank she founded. CURE provides a national voice of reason on issues of race and poverty in the media, inner city neighborhoods, and public policy.

Star Parker's personal transformation from welfare fraud to conservative crusader has been chronicled by every major newspaper and news network, and she has written three books, "Pimps, Whores, and Welfare Brats" (1996), "Uncle Sam's Plantation" (2003), and "White Ghetto" (2006).

In reference to “Uncle Sam’s Plantation,” Parker said:
There are two Americas — a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.

I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps: a vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation’s poor out of poverty.

A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from “How do I take care of myself?” to “What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?”

Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems — the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.

The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.

Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.

Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, “Thank you, Suh.”

Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash. Our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.

There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

She is not only critical of Obama’s strategy for America’s long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education, but is amazed that he treats his own views as new. The idea that massive growth in government can take place “with unprecedented transparency and accountability” was offered by Presidents Johnson, Carter and Clinton as the education system was hijacked and a “war on poverty” was launched. Yet, trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. However, black families are not, as the number of single-parent homes and illegitimate births has tripled.

It’s not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama’s invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom. This is not the freedom to be happy. It is the freedom to pursue happiness. This is not the freedom to realize the “great American dream.” It is the freedom to succeed, or perhaps fail, in attempts to realize it. It is the freedom to control our own destinies, to be an integral part of a democratic republic, to have a viable voice in government, and to demand that our elected officials work in accordance with our wishes as public servants. Our government is financially and morally bankrupt as a result of decades of Washington’s belief that they are our masters.

Take back your government. Become one of “We the People.” Let's end this plantation system.

The Bloom is Off the Rose

Cloudy

I know I am not alone in my bitter disappointment and disgust over our president's weakness. I heard him referred to today as an "eternal adolescent" and I had to nod in agreement. Did we make him that way? Did the millions of dollars spent to glorify him during the campaign and the fringe media's idol worship make him believe that he could do no wrong?

Clear

Well, the bloom is off the rose. The petals have all hit the ground. Only the thorns remain.

But the thorns are dangerous. They can hurt us. Our defenses are weakened as our president and his radical appointees seek to take the CIA down. After being snubbed and denigrated publicly, our allies will think twice before coming to our aid. And the true evil-doers of the world praised his holy name in the same manner as our little indoctrinated school children. (Now, America, do you understand the hoopla over the first day of school speech?) Our own military, with their boots on the ground and their lives in peril every day, cannot rely on support. Their Commander-in-Chief has no experience in military affairs, and turns a deaf ear to those heroes who do.

I lived through the "Gates-gate" when he played the race card. I've put up with trying to find a channel on tv without his speech being aired. I've been angered, but just keep trying to rid our capitol of his shadow government that seeks to circumvent the Constitution. But, I will not sit still while he puts our nation and our armed services in jeopardy as he seeks to sell us out in favor of a socialist New World Order.

This must all stop!

The New World Order

Cloudy

In his speech to the United Nations, President Obama advanced the Global Warming/Climate Change myth/lie as the New York Times ran an article by Andrew Revkin stating that “global temperatures have been stable for a decade and may even drop in the next few years.” In addition, there are many scientists, meteorologists and weather experts who have completely discredited the notion of man’s influence on global climate change. Why would our leaders lie to us about this?

Clear

The answer is: to strip away our country’s sovereignty.

In speeches to the UN about Climate Change in 2000, the rhetoric was about “global governance”, “world organization”, and “a new world order;” all terms that we hear too often from President Obama. Al Gore and President GH Bush also tossed these terms around. Under the tutelage and financial support of George Soros, many noted national and international leaders have been advocates for a strong central international government that would correct the excesses of self-interest. We’ve just seen the proposal for international currency. This Tri-Lateral Commission has had the issue of global governance, perhaps lead by a reformation of the United Nations, on its agenda for 40 years.

In keeping with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s rule to “never let a good crisis go to waste,” proponents of the new world order need an global crisis. And, what could fill the bill better than “global warming,” recently spun to “climate change?” This is the vehicle of choice to create the world wide emergency of specie decline, deforestation, pandemic disease, famine and economic failure. The devastation picture being painted by leaders is meant to alarm us, make us believers, and make us turn to them to be our saviors. However, the actual plan is for the elite “super rich” to have a way to prevent chaos, take all sovereignty away, and, finally, establish a worldwide socialistic governance that will establish a two class system, with the upper elite class having the power of the purse to controlling the masses.

These were once academic discussions that would take place in the coffee shops of the Ivy League campuses or in the basements of tenements. The intellectuals and the revolutionaries have been playing together since the time of FDR to nudge us towards their goals. The ‘nudge’ idea came from the Socialist Party during the years of FDR. The party once actively ran presidential candidates against him until they realized that he and his desired ‘Second Bill of Rights’ were already socialistic! Norman Thomas, the socialist leader and presidential candidate said:

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

It was FDR who introduced the idea that we should have a Constitutional ‘right’ to things such as good health care, a good education, a home, and a decent job, all provided by the government. In effect, he wanted the government to control every aspect of American life, and many American’s have been in line for entitlements so long that they, to, believe they have a constitutional right to such.

Now the Ivy League radicals are in the White House and the revolutionary thugs are in red and purple shirts, ready to do the bidding of our president and his shadow government that has begun to “shove” and “steamroll” us instead of merely nudging us towards a global takeover in the name of preserving our planet. There are even a growing number of experts who believe that these social engineers purposefully created the world’s economic crisis as another step towards this end. We hear the talk about “redistribution” of wealth, when the goal is to “control” the wealth. We, the ordinary citizens of the world, would exist only to provide the elite with their desires. But they would provide us with all the promises of FDR’s “second” bill of rights. This includes a job, enough money for adequate food, clothing and recreation, decent farms and businesses with all competition and prices controlled, a decent home, adequate medical care, good health, protection from economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemployment, and a government education.

And we will be happy.
But, not really.

The elite didn’t count on the masses having intelligence, strength, power and a passion for liberty. We can read and understand that there is no conclusive science the backs the need for our own Cap and Trade bill, or any global cooperation for environmental protection. We can read the radical books and ideas of the Holdren’s, Sunstein’s and Van Jones’ of the world. We can unite and stop the steamroller. We can speak as one grassroots and nutroots movement. And we’re doing so because we firmly believe that the “second” bill of rights is the responsibility of the states, that the federal government has become disgracefully over-sized, that the total lack of fiscal responsibility is a sin, that corruption in government abounds, and the Constitution has been shelved.

In 1831, Alexis De Tocqueville visited the United States and was so impressed by the free enterprise and burgeoning democratic order that balanced liberty and equality. He was convinced that the only way America would fall would be by it’s own hand. We, according to Benjamin Franklin, have been given a Republic. It is our duty to keep it.

Social Engineering: An Obamination

Cloudy

It looks like the “social engineers” are at it again. (Or should we just come out and say, the “socialist engineers”?)

Westchester County, an up-scale suburb of New York City, has been pressured to settle a lawsuit brought by liberal activists over "affordable" housing, a plan that the Obama administration feels should be a "template" for the rest of the nation.

The lawsuit alleged that Westchester had accepted federal housing funds but failed to reduce segregation in some of its wealthier communities, such as Scarsdale and Chappaqua, home to Bill and Hillary Clinton. In February a U.S. District Court judge ruled that Westchester's integration efforts were insufficient, and, after striking a deal with HUD, the county will construct or acquire 750 homes or apartments, 630 of which must be located in areas that are less than 3% black and 7% Hispanic.

This isn’t new. “Block-busting” has been tried in some form or another since the 1940s. It peaked in the 1960s and 1970s at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The blocks in a neighborhood were “busted” by convincing one white owner to sell to an African American family. Property values would fall, “white flight” would follow, and more minorities would move in.

Integrated neighborhoods were supposedly the intended goal. These neighborhoods should have included integrated schools and churches and should have spelled the end of bias, bigotry and discrimination. The actual results were usually the opposite; divided communities, racial tension, the deterioration of property, and a loss in the economic viability of the area. The “reality” of the Bunkers and the Jeffersons rarely occurred, as “block-busting” was seen primarily as a means to increase Democratic votes in an area.

Clear

The problems were never in the idea. The problems were always in the methods. Community organizers, social engineers, courts, and other governmental entities forced integration. It didn’t come about because of choice. (Even Wallace's famed stand in the "school house door" at the University of Alabama was carefully orchestrated by Bobby Kennedy.)

Most people believe in integrated neighborhoods provided they're a consequence of genuine choice. History shows that racial and ethnic minorities have incurred far less resistance when they move into neighborhoods where they can all afford to live. Natural integration by people with similar incomes, mores, ethics and values is the best way to build community solidarity and forge friendships. When forced, integration takes from some to give to others, just like every policy the Obama administration favors. It is called socialism.

My neighborhood is upper middle class and integrated. Everyone here shares the same values. We all worked hard, saved money, made wise decisions about our money, and did our best to put our families in a safe neighborhood with good schools. When our children were young and “running” the neighborhood, we often visited in each other’s homes, served on committees at church or school together, and worked on projects at school or in scouts together. Every yard is cut and clutter free. Every garage has a nice car. Every house has great “curb” appeal, as everyone has pride in their homes, their families and their neighborhood.

Socialists with hidden agendas to “engineer our choices” need to recognize that most people will do the right thing IF ALLOWED TO CHOOSE IT.

People are good. Leave us alone to find each other.

When Push Comes to Shove

Cloudy

I spent 30 years at the same job. When I took that job, right out of college, it was at the fastest growing and largest 3 year high school in the state, a school that had just opened the year before. To staff this new school, about half of the faculty was veteran teachers from within the system, and the other half was young, idealistic, fresh-out-of-college fledglings. Needless to say, we were also a bit rebellious, being children of the 60s! But we weren't bad. We were just 21 year olds! We just wanted to wear blue jeans. (Many of us didn't own much else!)

After two wonderful years of finding my wings, enjoying my students, knowing that I had found the perfect job for me, I was called into the principal's office and told to resign.

I was flabbergasted! I was speechless! And, of course I was too young and naive to know what my rights were. He rattled off a list as long as my arm of things I had done wrong; a list that included having a man over for dinner, not going to Sunday School, and taking a trip to San Antonio with a man. I only spoke once during this whole time. It was in response to the San Antonio trip when I meekly whined, "But, my mother said that I could!" When he was finished, he told me to turn in a letter of resignation the next day. I very quietly said, "I don't know if I will because I don't think I have done anything wrong."

If that had been it, I would have gone home and written that tear-stained letter. But his reaction shocked me! After my response, he shoved his chair back, stood and leaned over his desk, and pounded on it with each syllable of putrid, fiery anger that spewed from his mouth, "If you don't, young lady, I will ride you until you wish you had! I will ride you until I put you in the hospital with a nervous breakdown! And don't think I can't! I've done it before!!"

Clear

It clicked. It hit. I got it.

He was wrong. What he was doing was wrong and I would never have questioned it if I hadn't been pushed by that outburst.

To make a long story short, I worked there for 28 more years, and he was gone at the end of that one.

As I wrote in an earlier blog, socialists came to believe years and years ago that Americans could be "nudged" into becoming governmental "sheep."

The ‘nudge’ idea came from the Socialist Party during the years of FDR. The party once ran candidates against FDR until they realized that he and his desired ‘Second Bill of Rights’ were already socialistic! Norman Thomas, the socialist leader and presidential candidate said: The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

And it could easily have happened this year. The main stream media and young people had canonized Obama. We needed some action, and he was willing to make some bold decisions to get us out of this economic debaucle. I thought he was going in the wrong direction, but we were at a point where no one else had ever been in our history! I would have sat quietly and let him take more and more and more if...IF... he and Pelosi hadn't begun to push.

They wanted to push this health care down our throats so hard before the August break, that it made us all sit up and take notice. Then we found out the ACORN criminal thugs and the SEIU goons had turned push into shove.

I'm glad.

Without the push and the shove, the nudge would have worked.

We were right on the brink of socialism. Those in power and these socialist "community organizers" had been setting the stage for years and years.

We've got a long way to go to keep it from happening, but at least we know that the threat is real and we must stay the course and fight it with our voices, our signatures, our emails, our letters, our faxes and our phone calls.

Spread the word, America! Democracy is our only option!

Proud to be an American

Clear

I know what my constitutional rights are, and I know that the federal government is taking far more power and control over me right now than I want them to take. It’s nothing new. That’s why we have different political parties. Democrats favor an intrusive government that will regulate as much of our lives as possible to produce a ‘nanny nation’ that is dependent on them; and Republicans favor the individual’s pursuit of life, liberty and happiness through free, capitalistic endeavors to produce new products and a greater possible standard of living. Such a great standard of living is not a constitutional right. It is something for which we are free to strive and achieve.

The debate is not new. It’s been going on as long as the USA has been dreamed about. However, our founding fathers managed to find the perfect formula for a free nation that could grow and prosper, and lead the world. It’s called the Constitution. All of our congressional members and presidents swear to uphold it. They swear to keep us strong. They should be working to keep us as a world leader, a superpower, and an example for all other nations to follow.

Now greed has overtaken the oath to uphold the Constitution. Power begets greed. Greed begets corruption. Corruption negates our importance as individuals. The only way we have to take back our constitutional rights is to speak up! Speak with a fax. Speak with a phone call. Speak with an email. Speak with a blog. Speak with a tweet. Speak with a vote. Speak as you choose, but choose to be heard. Do not let our elected official become our masters instead of our servants!

Almost from the onset, discerning minds saw that the only flaw in this new government was complacency. In 1813, Alexis DeTocqueville said that the only threat to democracy in the USA was from within. The Communists during Eisenhower’s term said that we would lie down and take little doses of socialism, until we woke to find ourselves in the USSA (United Socialist States of America) instead of the USA.

Cloudy

So why are we here? Why are we allowing this administration to turn us into a socialist government? Is it because the generation that was seduced by Obama’s charisma is also the generation that failed to learn, or failed to be taught, just what our Constitutional rights are? I never really taught my children, because I never dreamed of a time when our government would try to go so far awry of democracy. I never dreamed that our government would bankrupt the next few generations of Americans. I never dreamed that a president would apologize for the grandeur and the power that the USA had accumulated through hard work, ingenuity, freedom and capitalism.

Are we here because the majority of Americans think we should be a welfare state? It looks that way.

Are we here because the majority of Americans think the government owes them a good job? There is NO Constitutional right to a good job, but you have the right to educate yourself and apply yourself to find one.

Are we here because the majority of Americans think the government owes them a good medical plan and good health? If you read the Constitution, you will find that is NOT the case! You have the freedom, however, to make decisions about how you will spend your money, how you will eat, how you will exercise, how you will educate yourselves to make good decisions about your overall health.

Are we here because the majority of Americans think the government owes them a good home? You have to right to protect your home, but you must EARN a home. You must contract for a home. You must work to pay for a home.

The federal government does not OWE us a home, food, clothing, education or recreation. It only owes us the right to achieve and gain these things through our own efforts. It’s what makes us Americans. It’s what makes our country rise above the rest. It’s what has made us a world leader, before our elected officials forgot what they had been elected to do. It’s what made us great before our President decided to apologize for our greatness.

Are you not proud to be an American?
