The debt crisis circus

Published July 31st, 2011 in Economic Independence and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The rhetoric regarding the debt crisis has been entertaining and enlightening. Enlightening in that it exposes the poor logic and emotion-driven policy that the liberals have been driven by. Senator Lisa Murkowski blames the tea party for the debt crisis. Being that they did not create the debt, it is hard to blame them for that. Those in the tea party are holding the line. Spending a BILLION or even TRILLION (which is 1,000 BILLION) is not a little matter. Questions should be raised at spending that kind of money. The tea party has exposed the”Let’s spend other people’s money” mindset of many on Capitol hill.

The debt crisis rhetoric also provides some wonderful Bible lessons in how evil is called good and good evil. Nancy Pelosi, who crammed the health care bill through on her watch is making accusations about how Boehner has gone to the dark side, and equating him with evil. I wonder is he evil due to him wanting to reduce spending or because he is willing to work with the democrats on anything?

Those questioning the debt have been likened to suicide bombers and the Taliban, when the reality is just the opposite. The ruling regime has shown lax tolerance in their handling of the Ft. Hood attack, they support and finance Hamas and other suicide bombing organizations, they support al-Quidah groups in Libya, they support the radical Muslim Brotherhood (which is nothing more than an institutionalized HATE group) and other pro-violence and Christian hating regimes. The rhetoric is a classic case of creating a smoke screen to hide what is really going on. They use speeches to attack the tea partiers for intolerance, yet the regime will use the money to support groups that are violent, oppressive and barbaric.

The double standard shows instability in their thinking and policy. The recklessness the democrats show in their profligate spending and oppressive, liberty restricting policies show their true colors. I also realize that they could not have enacted many of those policies such as the light bulbs, messing with the food supply, messing with health care, supporting oppressive regimes, etc. without republicans allowing them to do it. Many terrible polices and laws came into being under the Bush regimes as well. Instead of oppression from the right or the left, we need liberty. We need a return to traditional values, we need a return to common sense and common law. We need representatives who believe in fiscal responsibility rather than fiscal profligacy.

Liberty for Texas!

A culture of compliance

Published July 29th, 2011 in Culture and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

Talk about mind numbed robots! The University of Texas at Arlington recently instituted a tobacco-free policy that will be enforced at their campus. In promoting the idea, Jeff Jones, the manager of learning and development for the human resources department said “What we are trying to build is a culture of compliance,”. His statement struck me as ‘Wow!” In previous generations, parents sent students to school to give them and education and train them how to think. Now at University of Texas Arlington, someone has come out and spoke the truth, the modern college experience is about indoctrination or to use their words “Compliance”.

It is more than ironic since this very school used to be known as the rebels. Now the catchword is “Compliance”. What a change. To think that Southerners fought for freedom, just so that in future generations, children would be taught-COMPLIANCE. This is a sad state of affairs. Sadly, this is happening at campuses across the South, where compliance is stressed over education, thinking or even mastery of material. It sets the stage for students receiving their degree not based on what they learned, but how compliant they were. Is it any surprise that this campus also hosted the head of the SPLC, Morris Dees? (Just look at the court records and see for yourself) Apparently this campus has no problem with hosting sexual deviates, unless they smoke, in which case, it is not allowed. It is fine to pander to child abusing, womanizing, narcissistic types, but all Hell will break loose if you dare to use tobacco or are not COMPLIANT.

We need some Southrons with backbones who believe in education rather than compliance.

Reviewing the news and what the hired hands are up to

Published July 29th, 2011 in Culture and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

I was reminded in reviewing the news and daily indoctrination by the MSM, that there are still many questions about Oklahoma City. It seems that our friends at the SPLC were closely entwined with the FBI in that operation. I remind you that the SPLC has had its fingers in more violent acts than can be imagined. Although Congress Critter Sheila Jackson-Lee wants to investigate conservatives, she had best start with an investigation of the investigators such as the SPLC.
————————–
There were also several stories on the possibility of the tyrant in chief invoking the 14th amendment. The public forgets that that thing was passed illegally and that one of the reasons was that some people did not view the debt of the United States as legitimate due to them borrowing money in order to oppress a portion of their own people and now those people they oppressed had to pay the debt for oppressing them. The action was seen as morally wrong. In order to avoid dealing with the morality of their actions, the Congress used force to ram the measure through. Although Congress Critter Clyburn is vocal about using the 14th amendment or even an executive order to deal with the matter citing previous civil rights acts by none other than the tyrant Lincoln. (BTW-He makes mention of the Emancipation Proclamation, which shocked the world due to its imperial decree status. Bear in mind, THE EMANCIPATION DID NOT FREE ANY SLAVES IN THE UNION, it only freed the slaves in the Confederate States of America. The document was an instrument of war. It was intentionally designed to instigate England not to support the CSA.)

Think for a moment what the Congressman is saying. He wants Obama to over-ride the law. He wants Obama to rule by imperial decrees. Clyburn is wanting us all to be serfs, but, in his mind it is OK, since it is done in the name of civil rights.

These items bring to mind that the public often does not think through things, whether it be imperial decrees (or executive orders) or the linkage between the calls for investigation and those doing the investigating. We need people who think through and consider what is going on and what these Congress Critters are actually advocating.

We need a free South, with free minds that think. With the economic freedom to do with their money what they please, with freedom to associate or not associate. We need a south that is free from federal interference, whether in the form of investigations, occupational troops, judicial mandates, or other meddling. We also need a government that abides by the law rather than rule by imperial dictates.

The phantom threat versus the real threats of Mohammedism and socialism

Published July 28th, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

It is entertaining watching Congress critters like Sheila Jackson-Lee when she is up to her shenanigans. In the latest, she is wanting to have investigations into right-wing groups. She wants the focus on what she terms ‘domestic hate groups’. At the hearings on Radical Islam (Mohammedism), she introduced a 39-page report on domestic ‘hate groups’. I suspect that she did not do the research and write the report, in all likelihood, she is submitting something that some other group wrote.

She also stated that she “I would add to that, that I would like to have a hearing on right-wing extremists, ideologues who advocate violence and advocate, in essence, the terrorizing of certain groups,”. bear in mind, that the Congress Critter violated election laws and intimidated certain groups (poll watchers) herself in the last election. To make it worse, it was she who sponsored the Voter Intimidation Act of 2009. If that is not a case of the pot calling the kettle, I don’t know what is.

Congress Critter Jackson-Lee is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (e.g. the socialists party in america) . (If you are an inquiring mind, other members include Bernie Sanders, Eddi Bernice Johnson, John Conyers, Barnie Frank, Henry Waxman, and Maxine Sanders. Nancy Pelosi was a member, but later resigned). It makes logical sense that a leftist socialist wants investigations of the conservatives. The socialists want the conservatives to be on the defensive.

She is following the pattern of attacking the traditional conservative values when her side is under scrutiny. Never mind that the Mohammedeans were the ones that attacked Fort Hood, threatened attacks in Arlington (with explosives), or that a second attack on Ft. Hood by a suspect (a Mohammedean) was being planned and explosive found.. Instead of looking at the facts of who is attacking who, Ms. Jackson-Lee chases phantom threats based on reports of other left-wing hate groups.

Sheila Jackson Lee sees threats where there are no threats and ignores the real threats in her own State.

This is Yankee politics at their finest. Yes, I said Yankee. Ms. Jackson-Lee is Yankee born and educated. She claims to represent Texas, yet her values and strategies are socialist.

It is time that people looked at the facts of who are the real threats, and what are the real values of those in office.

We need liberty and we need truth, rather than socialist mantras and the party line of the Marxists puppets.

Our ancestors fought the socialists on the battlefields of this nation, and the battle did not end in 1865. The socialists are still around and are now occupying many of the seats in Congress.

A page from Goebbels

Published July 21st, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

Joseph Goebbels was propaganda minister for Adolf Hitler’s regime. He stated, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Goebbels understood propaganda. He was a master at deceiving the people of Germany. I was reminded of that quote in response to recent statements out of the empire’s regime.

Take a look at what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, “Well, two things remain incontestably true. The economy is vastly improved from what it was when Barack Obama was sworn into office as president. We were in economic free-fall. There were predictions that we were headed to the second Great Depression. We were losing up to, over 700,000 jobs a month, we were contracting at greater than 6 percent — our economy was. So, the economy has improved. It has not improved enough”.

In terms of propaganda, there is enough truth in his statement to deceive many in the public, but it is still a lie that the economy has vastly improved since the regime took over. Look at the price of gas, gold, food. Look at the unemployment numbers. It has done the opposite of improve.

Another page of propaganda is the regime’s response to the Chrysler bailout. The Treasury Department stated that even though the government lost $1.3 BILLION on bailing out the company the Treasury called it a “major accomplishment.” They managed to sell it to Fiat for a $1.3 BILLION dollar loss.

If the regime follows the pattern of the national socialists, there will be more big lies being repeated over and over until the people begin to believe them.

I don’t know about you, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, …It’s a duck, even though the government calls it something else.

The precarious statement on social security

Published July 15th, 2011 in Economic Independence and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

When the head of the regime stated “I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3 if we haven’t resolved this issue, because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,” he may have stumbled in the direction of truth. The statement was made in order to scare seniors and military personnel into pressuring Congress to raise the debt ceiling.

If the Usurper is telling the truth, then there is no Social Security Trust Fund. He is stating that the supposed 2.6 Trillion dollars in that fund are really not there. Everyone in the Imperial City knows that the fund was gone long ago. The ‘trust’ fund is a convenient myth of the empire to pacify the people, a bedtime story if you will. If he is telling the truth, then the politicians have broken the trust between the generations.

If he lied, then he is misinformed about the operations of government. If it was a lie, to make such a statement he would either have to be clueless or surrounded by people who mislead him on the economy and such related issues. We already know that he quit having daily briefings on the state of the economy long ago. Without the daily briefings on the state of affairs, can he really know what is going on?

He already has a history of lying. He has lied about his birth certificate, raising taxes, giving the people time to view legislation before it is passed, having an open administration in terms of secrets, etc., etc.,. So if past action is any indication of future action, the likelihood is high. If he did lie, it says a great deal about the use of fear and intimidation being used in negotiating. Many Congress Critters, do not have back-up plan in the event that the debt ceiling is not raised. Does that mean that they assume it will be raised? Does that mean that they see no threat? or Does that mean they really do not care about the little people? What do the Congress Critters know that we do not? Will they not be receiving their checks?

The Usurper may have spilled the beans on the so called ‘trust fund’. Bear in mind that the trust fund has been investing (purchasing) federal treasury bonds. So, they have been using the back door to fund the government’s operations anyways.

The old expression was ‘follow the money’. In the case of Social Security, the politicoes make tracking it a challenge.

I do find it ironic that the regime has no problem spending money, but they have a hard time cutting programs. It is also ironic that 4 August, which is the date after when the empire runs out of money will coincide with the Usurpers birthday, where a big party is planned.

Instead of federal government bureaucracy, we need liberty! Had the people been allowed to keep their own monies, instead of paying for social security, things would be different, very different.

All roads lead to the (League of the) South

Published July 12th, 2011 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

I have noticed that whenever there is a politician that shakes up the establishment, that hack pieces are soon published. Having hack pieces is not the surprising part, what is surprising is how often they try to make connections between those they do not like and the League of the South. In the latest, dealing with Michelle Bachmann, attempts are made to paint her with the League of the South brush. In some ways it is a compliment that any associations with God, the Bible and standing for traditional values and culture are associated with the League of the South. It says a lot that the organization is tarred and feathered for standing for principles.

Is the League of the South that influential or is it that the liberals hate the League of the South more than other groups? Could it be that the same people who are taking stands on Biblical issues, and political issues from a paleo-con perspective may know each other, given that they are fighting for the same values?

It is also interesting to note how the SPLC is very often involved in any smear campaigns, including this latest attack on Bachmann. It seems that anytime there is a smear to be done that they are brought in. Either that or journalists are becoming too lazy to do their own research and use the SPLC as a source in order to avoid having to do serious journalism.

Well, we are in the news again, used as a lightning rod to attract attacks from the left and scare people.

We need people who are willing to take stands for liberty,

PS-Dang, a day later and what comes out. An article on Rick Perry citing his membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans AND the attempt of the press to connect him with the League of the South. Ed Sebesta seems to be behind this attempted smear (and attempt to promote his book). The connection comes from the League endorsing Perry in an election back in 1998. Funny thing, just because we endorse someone does not mean that they are a member of our group or have any association with us. I can assure the PTB that Mr. Perry is NOT a member of the League of the South in Texas. I have supported his views when they have been good ones and criticized them when they have been wrong. I even have a picture of me and Kinky Friedman together, but that does not mean that Kinky has any association with the League of the South just because a picture exists. Politicians like to take pictures. Politically oriented groups often endorse or gripe about candidates. That is as simple as it gets.

Taxes change behavior

Published July 11th, 2011 in Economic Independence and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

News reports about the budget and the debt ceiling are filling the headlines. The Obama regime now wants even more taxes, to the tune of a trillion dollars. Bear in mind, that many of the tax hikes they have already arranged for have not even hit yet. One of the unforseen factors in all this tax talk is that people change their behaviors when the taxes get too high. Those who write the tax codes know this. Tax codes are actually a way to modify behavior. Apparently there are some in the Obama regime that forget this. Financial assumptions are being made that the public will continue behaving like they are once the taxes hit. WRONG! As their behavior changes, the expected tax revenues will change as well.

Take a look at the S-CHIPs program which depends on smokers for funding. They actually need more smokers to keep the funds coming in. This same type of conundrum is ahead for the regime, and they probably have not told the Chinese lenders that the sources of their revenues to pay back the loans can not be counted on. It is a shame that the empire is having to borrow money. Scripture makes it clear that the borrower is servant to the lender, and that it is a form of a curse.

The bottom lines is that once the taxes kick in, behaviors will change. The present model for government tax revenue is based on people continuing their behavior patterns. The model is flawed and will NEVER generate the revenues that are projected.

Remember tax codes are more about behavior modification than they are about revenue. By the Obama regime wanting more taxes, they want more control over the people and want to change their behavior even more.

When the Founding Fathers set up the union, it was funded by tariffs for many years. There are lessons to be learned there.

The Spectre of the 14th Amendment

Published July 10th, 2011 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

More abuse of power has occurred through the 14th amendment than any other. Now, in the midst of the budget debate, many democrats are running to the 14th amendment and its power regarding the public debt. This is the same amendment that was used to give the constitutional right to privacy for abortions, anchor babies, and other abuses of power. Most people do not know that the amendment was not passed in a legitimate manner. Although the amendment is of dubious legality, few lawyers or judges are going to touch its legitimacy with a ten foot pole. Although the Southern States were not allowed back into the Union until they approved the amendment. Although a principle of law is that any act performed under duress is illegitimate, it is ignored regarding the passage of the 14th amendment. Although the Southern States were not allowed to exist as legitimate legal entities during that time, they were considered legit enough to pass the 14th amendment.

It would be nice if the government respected the rule of law and recognized that the 14th amendment is not a legitimate law. Although it is often recognized, it was not passed in a constitutional manner. I find it ironic that this one amendment which from its origin had the legitimacy of a bastard child and designed to punish the South is still being used to punish the whole of the States. It is also ironic that these same democrats change the meaning of the second amendment and tenth amendments to suit their purpose, but now they want to enforce the Constitution to the letter of the law on this one. You can not have it both ways. Does the Constitution mean what it says or does it not? If the 14th is to be considered valid, you must also consider the 10th, 4th, and 2nd amendments equally as valid.

We need a legitimate government. We need legitimate laws. We need a Constitutional government, not one operating Sine Dei, which ours has been since 1861.

Texas accused of breaking international law

Published July 10th, 2011 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

When I saw the CNN report on how the United Nations is complaining about Texas’ rehabilitation of a killer, it gave me hope. It tells me that Texas not operating under the authority of international courts and tribunals. Texas needs to have its own voice. We are not a subject colony of the UN. The United Nations does not have authority over Texas. Texas has its own laws and regulations. We can’t help it if the penalty for murder in Mexico is a few years in jail. Mexico has no life imprisonment or capitol punishment. There are some, like the UN, that want Texas to abide by such lunacy as well.

Texas never submitted to international law. It has only been a few twisted cases such as Lawrence v. Texas, where the Supreme Court perverted justice to consider international law. There is a big difference between the Supreme Court subverting justice and when a whole nation submits to the authority of international law.

The Obama regime has not wanted to assist Texas when we ask for border protection, but tried to meddle like crazy when we make our own power, pump our own oil, try to operate our own prisons, use our land as we please, or other exercises of liberty. We need a government that increases rather than decreases liberties. We need less federal meddling. We need Texans who are willing to stand up to the UN, the empire and other forces.
