Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

I always believed that it's the special little things in life that help you forget the enormous disastrous ones. I WAS WRONG!! I was sending online Valentines Cards to my grandchildren, none of whom live in Colorado. 3 girls and 1 little guy live in Indiana, (the democratic obama loving section of the state) and 1 to my granddaughter in Virginia (her parents are Navy, no big obama lovers there). So while I'm doing this I start seriously thinking about the impact this idiot is going to have on my grandchildren. I'm forgetting this started out as a happy activity and I'm getting angrier by the minute!! The movie "The Time Machine" came to mind, where those blond haired, androgynous children are being led to the temple by the sound of a siren. Little do they know that they are blindly, obediently, marching to their death. OH!! Then Nazi Germany comes to mind. Hitler and the Third Reich's extermination of millions of Jews, in the name of Ethnic Cleansing. The call to the youth of Germany to give service to their country, (Anybody see BHO's community service announcement on TV yesterday?) is no different than this lunatic telling our young people that community service is the way to go. They will probably be housed, clothed and fed. Insidiously their every physiological need will be met, followed by their need to belong. (See Maslow's hierarchy of needs) We will have a group Obamamaniacs the likes of which we've never seen. This need for belonging can often overcome the physiological and security needs, depending on the strength of the peer pressure.
I have really gone in a direction with this I never planned, but this scenario is REAL people! Don't let the government take over the literal elements of human survival, because I fear what will come next!!
By the way,
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...

O'Bama's Hidden Agenda "SOCIALISM"

I came across a vary curious website when I saw a picture in the September issue of "Townhall Magazine". The picture was of pro-illegal groups in front of San Francisco City Hall protesting against the "Minutemen". One such group was holding up a huge banner stating "No Human Being is Illegal", and the organization was the ISO "the International Socialist Organization". I went to their website and the following is copied right from their site without editing.

THE CASE FOR SOCIALISM

by ALAN MAASS, editor, Socialist Worker

Human need, not corporate greed
"Socialism is based on the idea that we should use the vast resources of society to meet people’s needs.
It seems so obvious--if people are hungry, they should be fed; if people are homeless, we should build homes for them; if people are sick, the best medical care should be available to them. A socialist society would take the immense wealth of the rich and use it to meet the basic needs of all society. The money wasted on weapons could be used to end poverty, homelessness, and all other forms of scarcity. (Sound familiar?)
There’s no blueprint for what a socialist society will look like. That will be determined by the generations to come who are living in one. But it seems obvious that such a society would guarantee every person enough to eat and a sturdy roof over their heads. The education system would be made free--and reorganized so that every child’s ability is encouraged. Health care would be made free and accessible to all, as would all utilities like gas and electricity. Public transportation would also be made free--and more practical and efficient. All of these basic needs would become top priorities.
A socialist society would not only take away the existing wealth of the ruling class, but also its economic control over the world. Under the current system, important economic decisions are left to the chaos of the free market and to the blind competition of capitalists scrambling for profits. Under socialism, the majority of people would plan democratically what to do and how do it."

Social democrats propose selective nationalization of key national industries in mixed economies combined with tax-funded welfare programs..Wikipedia

I can't believe that I am the only person out there
who sees the distinct comparison between the campaign speak of Obama,
and the tenets of socialism!! Joe Biden the other day said that richer
people needed to pay more, that it was PATRIOTIC to do so??? Ok does it
sound like this: "From each according to their ability, to each
according to their need." That is a direct quote from Karl Marx!!



What appalls me is that NO MSM dare to touch this with a 10 foot pole!! All the scrutiny they have put on Sarah Palin, who has no where near the checkered past of Barack Obama, just shows the bias they have exhibited throughout this entire campaign. Even when Obama puts it right our there to be seen, they turn the other way. In his book, "Dreams From My Father" he spoke of "Frank" who was his mentor in his early teenage years. It has become common knowledge that he is referring to "Frank Marshall Davis". Gerald Horne, a Communist Party historian and contributing editor of Political Affairs, claims that "Frank" was Davis, and further claimed he was a "decisive influence" on Obama, stating "Look, there's one of US influencing the possible next president of the United States", 'US' meaning a Communist. Obama also remembered Frank later in life when he took a job in South Chicago as a community organizer working for a Saul Alinsky based organization when he took some time one day and visited the areas where Frank had lived and wrote in his book "I imagined Frank in a baggy suit and wide lapels, standing in front of the old Regal Theatre, waiting to see Duke or Ella emerge from a gig."

I have just given you 2 names; Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky. Do the research for yourself, don't take my word for it. Both of these men had strong ties to the Communist Party of the United States of America-CPUSA, and espoused their beliefs. Both of these men had a profound influence over Barack Obama. Here was a young man caught between 2 worlds. His white grandparents were giving him the best private education they could afford. But he was a black man, and was having an identity crisis. He turned to a radical black man who told him "Don't ever trust the white establishment", who told him "You may be a white, well paid nigger, but you're still a nigger just the same"!! Now I don't know about you, but my world view has been strongly influenced by the associations and beliefs I formed in my young adult years. I can't believe that Obama is any different.

The Mom and the One

We know now that the Palin phenomenon is for real. We can tell because our lefty friends have come up with a new pejorative: "Caribou Barbie." It joins "neoconservative," invented in the 1960s to describe New York Jewish intellectuals who had been mugged by reality, and "neo-con," invented in the 2000s to account for the sons of the neoconservatives of the 1960s, men who believed in reality even before they were mugged. And who can forget Dorothy Parker on Calvin Coolidge: "weaned on a pickle," or Clark Clifford's "amiable dunce" who won the Cold War.

There is no escaping the truth. No real conservative can hope to succeed in national politics without first earning a sneering pejorative from the Progressive Order of Angry Lefties. Gov. Palin must be the real thing.

Many conservatives were angry, in the last week, as our liberal friends descended upon Gov. Sarah Palin with a ferocity that was startling even to William Kristol. But this was not bad. This was good.

Rush Limbaugh is always saying that liberals cannot admit to the American people who they really are. They have to dissemble in order to get elected. That's why Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is going around talking about his "faith," trying to talk evangelical lingo to the God and guns set.

But last week, after the Palin breakout and the ensuing disorder in the front lines of the culture war, many liberal formations were running around leaderless, and they didn't have their talking points from brigade HQ at The New York Times and National Public Radio yet.

Without the proper talking points they told us rather more about themselves than they should have. They let us see who they really are.

And they showed Americans how liberals really are different from conservative and heartland Americans.

The difference has nothing to do with bad-tempered pejoratives. Oh no. We conservatives understand that. We understand that the difference is deeply philosophical.

Here's what Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor says in The Sources of the Self. The "me" of the authentic modern self, he writes, is not a feeling or an instinct, it is:

what reason produces, and what reason demands is that one live by principles.

Reason and rational principles must be the guiding lights of life. But ever since this notion was advanced by chaps like Kant at the end of the eighteenth century, conservatives have said: Whoa, dobbin.

Conservative have insisted on aspiring to a balance of principle, of conscious rational principles balanced by the unconscious wisdom of tradition.

But in the progressive understanding, developed by Hegel and Marx, the "aspiration is ultimately to a total liberation." Here there is no balance but a drive for complete liberation from the superstitions and the obligations of the past.

In politics and economics total liberation gets you from capitalism to the liberation in socialism. In personal liberation it gets you to French existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre and his partner Simone de Beauvoir. For them the liberation of the individual creative self in creative expression is everything From them comes the idea of women's liberation in The Second Sex, where woman is the "victim of the species" unless she is liberated from unending drudgery by a career of creative expression.

You can see why abortion slithers into place as the central sacrament in this faith. You cannot attempt a life of creative expression if you cannot experiment with all aspects of human experience, including sex. But then you cannot live out your life of individual creative exploration if you have also to live out the sexual consequences of your expressive life. Nobody would want a young person to be "punished with a baby," or disqualified from creative self-expression by a minor youthful indiscretion. You soon get, in fact, to the modern extended adolescence where nobody expects a teenaged liberal, or college liberal, or twenty-something liberal to suffer the consequences of their expressive behavior.

The life of Gov. Palin and her family are an intolerable witness against this liberation world-view, inconvenient facts that cannot be allowed to falsify its liberating truth, and that is why our liberal friends are beside themselves.

And so the culture wars are rejoined, and the American people are called to make their choice: The Mom or The One.

"Bloom where you are planted." That's what Rebecca Hagelin's mother told her. And that is what Gov. Sarah Palin did.

What makes her absolutely appealing to ordinary citizens across the country - both young and old - is that she didn't go looking for greatness somewhere "out there"

She found it right where she was planted.

Want to influence your child's education? Get involved at the local school. Fed up with the "good old boys" at city hall? Run for election. Get pregnant when you are 17? Well, I guess you are growing up faster than you thought.

Does that make sense to you? Then you must be a conservative. You must believe in responsible liberty rather than self-expressive liberation.

Still, a conservative can chuckle at the thought of "Caribou Barbie." Do you think that Mattel could get a limited edition with rifle, specs, and chignon out by November 4?

Talk About Fips Flops

Well, as the Democrats go into their last day of the convention they are anticipating their saviors acceptance speech. But let me try to understand how Joe Biden and Hilary Clinton can do a 180 degree about face on Obama's readiness to lead their party, and the country in one of the most uncertain times in our recent history.
"I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. It's awful hard, with only a little bit of experience to have a clear sense of what you would do on the most critical issues facing us today." _ August 2007 Biden interview with Newsweek.
"Barack is ready. This is his time. This is our time. This is America's time." Quote from Joe Biden's VEEP acceptance speech @ the Pepsi Center, Denver Colorado. August 2008.
Hilary Clinton has made similar claims with her 3 A.M. phone call ad, among others.
So, can someone please explain to me how the candidate with no experience 1 year ago suddenly gained such experience in such a short time? Could it have been when he went to Iraq, and only posed for a photo-op with the soldiers but never took the time to talk to any of them personally about the state of affairs on the streets?
Oh, how about the trip to Germany where he told his German audience on July 24, 2008: “I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before, although tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world. People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time,” he said. Sure sounds like a stump speech to me. Since when do German citizens vote in our elections?
Maybe tomorrow night as Barack takes the stage at the Greek Temple built in his honor (formerly Invesco Field @ Mile High) the sky will part and we will all be enlightened....NOT!!

Do We Really BelieveThis?

Gee, only a month or two ago "America was a VERY mean country", and she had never been proud of her country until now. Soooo what has changed her mind??

A Soldier's Letter from Afghanistan

Hello everyone. As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here in Bagram.

As the soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the "Clam Shell" pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights, so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to soldiers to thank them for their service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the Americans back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the senators who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-in-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country. If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

In service, CPT Jeffrey S. Porter Battle Captain TF Wasatch , American Soldier

I received this letter from a soldier in Afghanistan during the recent trip of Barack Obama. Please, come to your senses America!! No one knows the REAL BARACK OBAMA, or what he'll do if he becomes the next President. I fear for our country!!
