Any man who has the guts to question the president of the United States is a hero in my book......
Jon Voight reads a special message to America about Barack Obama on FOX News's Huckabee show.
Below is the letter he reads to the nation.
"In one year-
The American people are witnessing the greatest lie, that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all, or the very poor needy who need to be taken care of. President Obama feeds these people poison giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed. Now the lie goes very deep, and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky Method. And it would be very important that every American knows what that method is. It is a Socialistic Marxist teaching and with it little by little he rapes this nation taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremist. The world who looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power.
The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women from all walks of life. Shivering to think this once great nation will be a third world country.
This will be the first president to ever weaken the united states of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies.
Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the tea parties in their states.
The opposition will continue their tactics they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators.
Let us all stay in gods light.
Let no man put us under.
We can and we will prevail.
God bless us all."
Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism:
Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:
"By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramsci's master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity's transcendent God."
Jonathan Vincent "Jon" Voight Biography:
With his boyish features and baby-blue eyes, Jon Voight could easily have taken the James Dean route to eternal stardom. Two major roles, in Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance - and then bang, gone, but remembered forever as both a pin-up and a consummate, risk-taking artiste, personifying his generation. He could also have done a De Niro - sought out roles that suited him and replayed himself over and over, his very intensity keeping audiences interested. Instead, he took the hardest route of all. He decided, after his first phenomenal success, that he should only take work of depth and meaning. Sounds crazy, doesn't it, considering Hollywood's perennial dearth of both. Yet, for better or worse, Voight battled to maintain this high moral standard for nearly a quarter of a century and, even now that he's mellowed, he remains one of the most fascinating and powerful actors we have. Furthermore, he's one of the very few convincing role models Hollywood might offer to the youth of today. As far as charisma and anti-establishment attitude go, he knocks his supposedly rebellious daughter, Angelina Jolie into a cocked hat.
He was born Jonathan Voight in Yonkers, New York, on the 29th of December, 1938, a matter of months before the outbreak of World War 2. His father, Elmer, was a Czech-American and a golf pro. Though a back injury in his youth ensured he would not enter competitions beyond the age of 20, he nevertheless became an excellent golf teacher. His wife, Barbara, became a homemaker, and was later described by Jon as "a benign general". She was very active, very responsible, and a terrible cook, for which she was mercilessly teased by her three boys, each of whom would become world-renowned in their chosen field. Barry would become a feted expert on volcanoes, working out of Penn State University, while James Wesley - under the name Chip Taylor - would become a legendary songwriter, penning such classics as Wild Thing and Angel Of The Morning.
And then there was Jon. Jon was a born performer, wanting to act from the age of three. Attending the local Archbishop Stepinac High School (exclusively for Catholic boys), he involved himself in school productions in any way he could, both acting and - due to a genuine ability in drawing, painting etc - even designing sets for plays.
Jon was a happy, adaptable and, above all, decent student. Taking to heart his religion's call for us to be good to one another, he found it hard to accept that his Protestant friends were to inevitably burn for Eternity. "I was always trying to be a liaison between the attitudes I was being taught by the Church and my buddies," he later recalled .
To restore and uphold the sovereignty and rights of the individual States as guaranteed by the tenth amendment of the United States Constitution, which states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Jefferson's Declaration for Taking Arms in defence of the freedom that is our birthright...
All god fearing, law abiding, freedom loving citizens must read this piece...
in response from Congress' threat to "deem" the Health Care Choices Act of 2009 as "The law of the land"
In Congress, 6 July 1775
Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms
A declaration by the representatives of the united colonies of North America, now met in Congress at Philadelphia, setting forth the causes and necessity of their taking up arms.
If it was possible for men, who exercise their reason to believe, that the divine Author of our existence intended a part of the human race to hold an absolute property in...
and an unbounded power over others, marked out by his infinite goodness and wisdom, as the objects of a legal domination never rightfully resistible, however severe and oppressive, the inhabitants of these colonies might at least require from the parliament of Great-Britain some evidence, thatthis dreadful authority over them, has been granted to that body. But a reverance for our Creator, principles of humanity, and the dictates of common sense, must convince all those who reflect upon the subject, that government was instituted to promote the welfare of mankind, and ought to be administered for the attainment of that end.
The legislature of Great-Britain, however, stimulated by an inordinate passion for a power not only unjustifiable, but which they know to be peculiarly reprobated by the very constitution of that kingdom, and desparate of success in any mode of contest, where regard should be had to truth, law, or right, have at length, deserting those, attempted to effect their cruel and impolitic purpose of enslaving these colonies by violence, and have thereby rendered it necessary for us to close with their last appeal from reason to arms.
Yet, however blinded that assembly may be, by their intemperate rage for unlimited domination, so to sight justice and the opinion of mankind, we esteem ourselves bound by obligations of respect to the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our cause. Our forefathers, inhabitants of the island of Great-Britain, left their native land, to seek on these shores a residence for civil and religious freedom. At the expense of their blood, at the hazard of their fortunes, without the least charge to the country from which they removed, by unceasing labour, and an unconquerable spirit, they effected settlements in the distant and unhospitable wilds of America, then filled with numerous and warlike barbarians. -- Societies or governments, vested with perfect legislatures, were formed under charters from the crown, and an harmonious intercourse was established between the colonies and the kingdom from which they derived their origin. The mutual benefits of this union became in a short time so extraordinary, as to excite astonishment. It is universally confessed, that the amazing increase of the wealth, strength, and navigation of the realm, arose from this source; and the minister, who so wisely and successfully directed the measures of Great-Britain in the late war, publicly declared, that these colonies enabled her to triumph over her enemies. --Towards the conclusion of that war, it pleased our sovereign to make a change in his counsels. -- From that fatal movement, the affairs of the British empire began to fall into confusion, and gradually sliding from the summit of glorious prosperity, to which they had been advanced by the virtues and abilities of one man, are at length distracted by the convulsions, that now shake it to its deepest foundations. -- The new ministry finding the brave foes of Britain, though frequently defeated, yet still contending, took up the unfortunate idea of granting them a hasty peace, and then subduing her faithful friends.
These colonies were judged to be in such a state, as to present victories without bloodshed, and all the easy emoluments of statuteable plunder. -- The uninterrupted tenor of their peaceable and respectful behaviour from the beginning of colonization, their dutiful, zealous, and useful services during the war, though so recently and amply acknowledged in the most honourable manner by his majesty, by the late king, and by parliament, could not save them from the meditated innovations. -- Parliament was influenced to adopt the pernicious project, and assuming a new power over them, have in the course of eleven years, given such decisive specimens of the spirit and consequences attending this power, as to leave no doubt concerning the effects of acquiescence under it. They have undertaken to give and grant our money without our consent, though we have ever exercised an exclusive right to dispose of our own property; statutes have been passed for extending the jurisdiction of courts of admiralty and vice-admiralty beyond their ancient limits; for depriving us of the accustomed and inestimable privilege of trial by jury, in cases affecting both life and property; for suspending the legislature of one of the colonies; for interdicting all commerce to the capital of another; and for altering fundamentally the form of government established by charter, and secured by acts of its own legislature solemnly confirmed by the crown; for exempting the "murderers" of colonists from legal trial, and in effect, from punishment; for erecting in a neighbouring province, acquired by the joint arms of Great-Britain and America, a despotism dangerous to our very existence; and for quartering soldiers upon the colonists in time of profound peace. It has also been resolved in parliament, that colonists charged with committing certain offences, shall be transported to England to be tried. But why should we enumerate our injuries in detail? By one statute it is declared, that parliament can "of right make laws to bind us in all cases whatsoever." What is to defend us against so enormous, so unlimited a power? Not a single man of those who assume it, is chosen by us; or is subject to our control or influence; but, on the contrary, they are all of them exempt from the operation of such laws, and an American revenue, if not diverted from the ostensible purposes for which it is raised, would actually lighten their own burdens in proportion, as they increase ours. We saw the misery to which such despotism would reduce us. We for ten years incessantly and ineffectually besieged the throne as supplicants; we reasoned, we remonstrated with parliament, in the most mild and decent language.
Administration sensible that we should regard these oppressive measures as freemen ought to do, sent over fleets and armies to enforce them. The indignation of the Americans was roused, it is true; but it was the indignation of a virtuous, loyal, and affectionate people. A Congress of delegates from the United Colonies was assembled at Philadelphia, on the fifth day of last September. We resolved again to offer an humble and dutiful petition to the King, and also addressed our fellow-subjects of Great-Britain. We have pursued every temperate, every respectful measure; we have even proceeded to break off our commercial intercourse with our fellow-subjects, as the last peaceable admonition, that our attachment to no nation upon earth should supplant our attachment to liberty. -- This, we flattered ourselves, was the ultimate step of the controversy: but subsequent events have shewn, how vain was this hope of finding moderation in our enemies.
Several threatening expressions against the colonies were inserted in his majesty's speech; our petition, tho' we were told it was a decent one, and that his majesty had been pleased to receive it graciously, and to promise laying it before his parliament, was huddled into both houses among a bundle of American papers, and there neglected. The lords and commons in their address, in the month of February, said, that "a rebellion at that time actually existed within the province of Massachusetts-Bay; and that those concerned with it, had been countenanced and encouraged by unlawful combinations and engagements, entered into by his majesty's subjects in several of the other colonies; and therefore they besought his majesty, that he would take the most effectual measures to inforce due obediance to the laws and authority of the supreme legislature." -- Soon after, the commercial intercourse of whole colonies, with foreign countries, and with each other, was cut off by an act of parliament; by another several of them were intirely prohibited from the fisheries in the seas near their coasts, on which they always depended for their sustenance; and large reinforcements of ships and troops were immediately sent over to general Gage.
Fruitless were all the entreaties, arguments, and eloquence of an illustrious band of the most distinguished peers, and commoners, who nobly and strenuously asserted the justice of our cause, to stay, or even to mitigate the heedless fury with which these accumulated and unexampled outrages were hurried on. -- equally fruitless was the interference of the city of London, of Bristol, and many other respectable towns in our favor. Parliament adopted an insidious manoeuvre calculated to divide us, to establish a perpetual auction of taxations where colony should bid against colony, all of them uninformed what ransom would redeem their lives; and thus to extort from us, at the point of the bayonet, the unknown sums that should be sufficient to gratify, if possible to gratify, ministerial rapacity, with the miserable indulgence left to us of raising, in our own mode, the prescribed tribute. What terms more rigid and humiliating could have been dictated by remorseless victors to conquered enemies? in our circumstances to accept them, would be to deserve them.
Soon after the intelligence of these proceedings arrived on this continent, general Gage, who in the course of the last year had taken possession of the town of Boston, in the province of Massachusetts-Bay, and still occupied it a garrison, on the 19th day of April, sent out from that place a large detachment of his army, who made an unprovoked assault on the inhabitants of the said province, at the town of Lexington, as appears by the affidavits of a great number of persons, some of whom were officers and soldiers of that detachment, murdered eight of the inhabitants, and wounded many others. From thence the troops proceeded in warlike array to the town of Concord, where they set upon another party of the inhabitants of the same province, killing several and wounding more, until compelled to retreat by the country people suddenly assembled to repel this cruel aggression. Hostilities, thus commenced by the British troops, have been since prosecuted by them without regard to faith or reputation. -- The inhabitants of Boston being confined within that town by the general their governor, and having, in order to procure their dismission, entered into a treaty with him, it was stipulated that the said inhabitants having deposited their arms with their own magistrate, should have liberty to depart, taking with them their other effects. They accordingly delivered up their arms, but in open violation of honour, in defiance of the obligation of treaties, which even savage nations esteemed sacred, the governor ordered the arms deposited as aforesaid, that they might be preserved for their owners, to be seized by a body of soldiers; detained the greatest part of the inhabitants in the town, and compelled the few who were permitted to retire, to leave their most valuable effects behind.
By this perfidy wives are separated from their husbands, children from their parents, the aged and the sick from their relations and friends, who wish to attend and comfort them; and those who have been used to live in plenty and even elegance, are reduced to deplorable distress.
The general, further emulating his ministerial masters, by a proclamation bearing date on the 12th day of June, after venting the grossest falsehoods and calumnies against the good people of these colonies, proceeds to "declare them all, either by name or description, to be rebels and traitors, to supercede the course of the common law, and instead thereof to publish and order the use and exercise of the law martial." -- His troops have butchered our countrymen, have wantonly burnt Charlestown,besides a considerable number of houses in other places; our ships and vessels are seized; the necessary supplies of provisions are intercepted, and he is exerting his utmost power to spread destruction and devastation around him.
We have rceived certain intelligence, that general Carleton, the governor of Canada, is instigating the people of that province and the Indians to fall upon us; and we have but too much reason to apprehend, that schemes have been formed to excite domestic enemies against us. In brief, a part of these colonies now feel, and all of them are sure of feeling, as far as the vengeance of administration can inflict them, the complicated calamities of fire, sword and famine. We are reduced to the alternative of chusing an unconditional submission to the tyranny of irritated ministers, or resistance by force. -- The latter is our choice. -- We have counted the cost of this contest, and find nothing so dreadful as voluntary slavery. -- Honour, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them.
Our cause is just. Our union is perfect. Our internal resources are great, and, if necessary, foreign assistance is undoubtedly attainable. -- We gratefully acknowledge, as signal instances of the Divine favour towards us, that his Providence would not permit us to be called into this severe controversy, until we were grown up to our present strength, had been previously exercised in warlike operation, and possessed of the means of defending ourselves. With hearts fortified with these animating reflections, we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare, that, exerting the utmost energy of those powers, which our beneficent Creator hath graciously bestowed upon us, the arms we have been compelled by our enemies to assume, we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverence, employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather thanto live slaves.
Lest this declaration should disquiet the minds of our friends and fellow-subjects in any part of the empire, we assure them that we mean not to dissolve that union which has so long and so happily subsisted between us, and which we sincerely wish to see restored. -- Necessity has not yet driven us into that desperate measure, or induced us to excite any other nation to war against them. -- We have not raised armies with ambitious designs of separating from Great-Britain, and establishing independent states. We fight not for glory or for conquest. We exhibit to mankind the remarkable spectacle of a people attacked by unprovoked enemies, without any imputation or even suspicion of offence. They boast of their privileges and civilization, and yet proffer no milder conditions than servitude or death.
In our own native land, in defence of the freedom that is our birthright, and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it -- for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms. We shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before.
With an humble confidence in the mercies of the supreme and impartial Judge and Ruler of the Universe, we most devoutly implore his divine goodness to protect us happily through this great conflict, to dispose our adversaries to reconciliation on reasonable terms, and thereby to relieve the empire from the calamities of civil war.
Whenever a people is faced with certain demise and tyranny from their elected officials, it is necessary to turn to god and excercise common sense....

According To Congress The Constitution Requires Racism
“Establishing a so-called Office of Minority and Women Inclusion within each agency is the idea of Democratic Rep. [Marxine] Waters, a Congressional Black Caucus leader and conferee. According to her amendment to the bill [which passed], ‘Each agency shall take affirmative steps to seek diversity in the workplace of the agency, at all levels of the agency,’ including recruiting,” blah blah blah, historically black colleges, women, minority universities, da da da da da. Here’s the worst part. “Each agency, in turn, is required to report to Congress detailed information describing the actions it took to diversify its staff and contract with minority-owned firms.”
This by definition is not – what is that word? What is that term used in the Constitution? Direct taxation, equally apportioned? This is not equally apportioned. The benefits of the tax certainly aren’t equally apportioned. They’re skewed. It says right in there you shall, meaning the Congress shall, enforce this. How? They will compel financial institutions to make decisions, not based on credit-worthiness, not based on employment, based on race solely. Again, the people that have been masquerading around as the defenders, oh, we’ve got to make everything fair, oh, we just want an equal shot, oh, we ought to make all the races equal. You don’t want to make it – you want to do anything but make it equal. It is a playing field that is tilted to one side. And I suppose, if you are fortunate enough, if that’s how you view fortune, as people giving you things, as having money confiscated from those that earn it stolen from them at the point of the IRS’s gun, and then redistributed to someone else because they happen to have been born in the proper racial category, I suppose that’s fortune. Is it?
Are there millions of people, tens of millions that will accept this? Absolutely. With impunity. And they’ll tell you about it that they’re accepting it. Oh, yeah, I’m taking it. You owe me. I do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This country owes me. The world owes me. Why? Because once upon a time there were people that looked like me that were locked up, and they were called slaves, and you owe me. So this is the payback here. You know what I would rather? I would just rather the Spike Lee types and all the little foot soldiers that follow him and Marxine Waters and all the rest of them, why don’t you just tell me – I want to spare my children from this ignominious fate. Why don’t you just give me a bill? Give me an amount. What do you want from me? Even though my ancestors weren’t here when that happened, just give me an amount. How much is enough? What do you want? What do you want from me and my family? Give me a bill. I’ll pay it right now. If it’ll shut you up and make you stop pining away to do this to my kids, I’ll give it to you right now. What’s the amount? C’mon, be honest with me, you cowards. You want 50 grand? You need 50 large? Is that what you need? Will that shut you up? Will that make you happy for the rest of your life? Will that make it equal? Will that make it fair?
I mean, this, folks, this is a criminal enterprise here. This is legitimizing racism, consecrating it in law, and in financial law. It’s not eliminating it. It is making it legal to be racist. It is making it legal. It is making it compulsory to make decisions based on race. This is the exact opposite. This is what Martin Luther King, Jr., was talking about? Really? This is what people rode buses and got up from the back seat and went to the front for? Really? Someone pushed people aside at water fountains and those purported, what do you call them, iconic lunch counters, really, for this? Boy, that equality thing is something. Where’s the indignity, is what I want to know? Where’s the indignity from those that this is purportedly designed or made to help? Hmm? “Chris, what do you mean by ‘indignity’?” Why aren’t they saying, get out of my way, sucker, I can do that myself? Where’s the pull up by the bootstraps, frontier rugged individualism mentality? What, that only happens if you happen to be born in the right race? Really? You really want to take that to your grave? You really want to pass that along to your children? Do you really? Seriously?
This is pathetic. And the fact that the Dodd crime family and Frank crime family are participating in this, and they’re being cheered on by a willing sycophantic media and by a White House that’s only too happy to embrace this, is chilling. Oh, but we’re going to give police powers, meaning someone, somewhere, is going to have a gun. And to enforce this, they’re going to use the police state. And let’s see, what am I talking about?
“Still, as insurance, the bill also calls for an audit of Fed” – that’s the Federal Reserve – “‘governance’ to examine, among other things – this is from the bill, ‘the extent to which the current system of appointing Federal Reserve bank directors effectively represents the public without discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, or national origin.’ More, the bill sets up a data collection system to monitor small business loans for discrimination. Lenders will now be required to report if small business applicants are minority owned.” What if they’re majority owned? Well, get to the back of the line, then, I guess. “And we haven’t even gotten to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” – that’s what Jon Belmont was droning on about – “the huge new bureaucracy whose mission, among other things, will be to ensure that ‘traditionally underserved consumers and communities have access to lending investment and financial services.’”
Where are these communities? Can you show me one? If I go into the most putrid, ghetto-like, Third World-looking neighborhood in the United States, I will still see people driving around in brand new cars. They will have brand new plasma televisions in their not-so-attractive homes. They’ll be walking around, chatting it up on the latest version of the iPhone or the Crackberry or whatever the hell. Where is the disparity?
“The bureau will wield a big stick in the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, whose role will be enforcing ‘nondiscriminatory access to credit.’ It will have the power to subpoena witnesses and documents, as well as issue temporary orders requiring banks to cease and desist any practice. They will add to and work with HUD’s and Justice’s own diversity cops. The bureau adds a massive new layer of bureaucracy to the four federal agencies already enforcing fair lending compliance under the onerous [Community Resource Act, that’s the] CRA. Banks will now be under enormous political pressure to bend underwriting rules for protected classes with iffy credit.” So if you thought the first subprime mortgage meltdown, bubble, was bad, oh, just wait’ll you get a load of this one. Good grief, folks.
“The bureau, which is the White House’s baby, will invite ‘experts in fair lending [and] civil rights,’ as well as ‘representatives of communities’ – where have I heard that word, oh, community organizers, right, right, got it – ‘representatives of communities that have been significantly impacted by higher priced mortgage loans’ to sit on a Consumer Advisory Board and consult on policy. A research unit, meanwhile, will solicit data and ‘experiences’ from urban housing activists about consumers in ‘underserved communities.’”
You mean like Detroit? Yeah, let’s look at where all the subprime, Section 8, free money lending got home prices in Detroit, Michigan? What is the average sales price now of a home in Detroit, Michigan? Would you like to take a guess? Oh, this has been tried. We already know where this has been tried. It’s been implemented. I can show you where it’s been tried. Detroit, Michigan, average home sale price $7,000. $7,000. What were those same homes worth around 2000? 135,000? 145? That’s a great job, Obama. That’s a great job, Barney. That’s a great job, Chrissy. Wow.
Your gonna sit there and tell us that this is all being done for the betterment of mankind?
I BEG TO DIFFER, THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANYOTHER SCAM.....
This is just simple minded folks that think they know more than you do, folks that think they can do whatever the hell they please...and it looks to me that they may be right.
So, the question remains the same it has been since 1776, what are we prepared to do about it?
Jeffe Crouere: Judge Feldman has to carry armed escort after he crosses White House thugs
While many Americans undoubtedly agree with the decision of U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman to overturn the Obama administration’s moratorium on deep water drilling, not everyone is happy. In fact, the Judge is now receiving death threats in the aftermath of his bold ruling.
In issuing his ruling, Feldman said that the moratorium was faulty because there was no “rational connection between the facts found and the choice made.” While there is often debate about the merits of judicial decisions, seldom does the criticism focus on the integrity of the judge. Right after he issued the ruling, Feldman came under attack as a tool of the oil industry. Media outlets reporters noted that the Judge held stock in oil and gas companies and implied that his decision was based on his own personal financial considerations. Such a personal attack is unfair and completely unwarranted, especially for Feldman, a distinguished judge known for his commitment to the law and a jurist who has earned the praise of people throughout the legal community.

Judge Feldman will NOT cave into MaObama's demands that he "stay" his ruling
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans rejected the Obama administration's request to stay his decision that allowed deepwater drilling to resume. The Interior Department suspended drilling after the ruptured BP Plc (BP.L) (BP.N) well began gushing oil into the Gulf more than two months ago.

Pelosi wants docs' fee boost, jobs money combined
Pelosi wants docs' fee boost, jobs money combined
AP - Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:33:58 -0400 (EDT)

The top House Democrat says her chamber won't vote on Senate legislation to reverse a cut in Medicare payments to doctors.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the bill -- it would reverse a 21 percent cut on Medicare doctor fees that was imposed on Friday -- has to include elements of the Democrats' jobs agenda.
The move by the California Democrat appears aimed at pressuring the Senate to break a logjam on long-sought legislation to extend unemployment benefits and give money to states to help them avoid additional layoffs and furloughs. That bill is stuck on the Senate floor because of a GOP filibuster.
The Senate passed the doctor fee fix as a stand-alone measure on Friday after a GOP filibuster killed the bigger jobs-related measure the night before. The measure would only forestall the cuts -- they are required under a 1990s budget-cutting law that Congress has routinely waived -- for six months.
The House passed legislation to prevent the cuts from going into effect through the end of next year.
"The bill Senate Republicans allowed to pass is not only inadequate with respect to physician fees, but it ignores urgent sections of the House bill to provide jobs," Pelosi said in a statement. "I see no reason to pass this inadequate bill until we see jobs legislation coming out of the Senate."
The Senate bill would also increase payments to providers by 2.2 percent. The legislation, which costs about $6.5 billion, is paid for with a series of health care and pension changes that Democrats and Republicans agreed to.
The larger package stalled in the Senate includes jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed, $24 billion in aid to cash-strapped states and the extension of dozens of popular tax breaks for businesses and individuals that expired at the end of last year.
Republicans said it's wrong to hold up the physician fee fix to win passage of additional spending items like a summer jobs initiative.
"Seniors' access to health care is being held hostage to the Democrats' deficit-spending addiction," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga.

Its about time that everyday citizens fight back against the hollywood liberal elite!
new mexico vs val kilmer payback-time:
When actor Val Kilmer recently applied for permits to turn his 6,000-acre ranch outside Santa Fe into an upscale bed-and-breakfast, several of his neighbors protested.
They were incensed about comments attributed to Mr. Kilmer in magazine articles dating to 2003 and 2005. And they didn't want him to get his way on the ranch unless he apologized.
"That's all he has to do, come and apologize," said Jose Garcia, who runs horses on a 50-acre ranch next to Mr. Kilmer's. "We're not intimidated by him."
new-mexico-v-val-kilmer-payback-time: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance
All these hollywood elitists are alike, they make their money off of the working man and then they talk crap about america and its citizens........if they dont like us or this country then they can just go to europe and make their millions...

DISCLOSE ACT - WE MUST DEFEAT THIS BILL
Dear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,
We have received information from Capitol Hill regarding the "Disclose Act" and we must work to defeat this bill. The vote is expected to take place tonight or tomorrow.
On April 29, 2010, Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) introduced H.R. 5175, the Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act. The bill is a direct response to Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (McCain- Feingold) - a First Amendment victory in which the Supreme Court overturned the prohibition on corporations and unions using treasury funds for independent expenditures supporting or opposing political candidates at any time of the year. Simply put, the DISCLOSE Act will limit the political speech that was protected and encouraged by Citizens United.
Speaker Pelosi and the House Majority Leadership are making it a priority to pass this bill. This bill is designed to take away the influence of Tea Party and other conservative groups in the upcoming November election. We feel like this bill will be successfully challenged in the courts, but the ruling will not come before the November election.
An exemption has been carved out for the Labor Unions and other leftist advocacy groups. The NRA was also exempted so they would not oppose it.
Roll Call Magazine reports today that they have carved out even deeper exemptions in order to assure passage and we believe it clearly shows the intent of the bill is to diminish the effectiveness of Tea Party groups and other newer conservative advocacy groups.
"Facing wide-ranging blowback from an exemption tailored for the National Rifle Association, House Democratic leaders have decided to expand the carve-out from disclosure requirements in a campaign finance measure they are trying to pass this week.
The new standard lowers the membership requirement for outside groups from 1 million members to 500,000. Those groups would still need to have members in 50 states, have existed for 10 years and can accept no more than 15 percent of their funding from corporate or union sources. The broader bill, called the DISCLOSE Act, comes in response to the controversial Supreme Court decision in January that struck down limits on corporate and union spending in elections. The bill would force groups participating in elections to name their top donors, among other changes."
We need you to make phone calls, send emails and faxes and urge the Congressmen listed below to vote no on this bill. If you are a NRA member, we urge that you email the NRA and ask them to oppose this bill.
Together, we can make a difference!

Obama Is Doing All He Can - To Hinder Saving The Gulf
We were silently hoping that the feds had run out of ways to be able to screw up operations for cleaning this oil up (this come directly from folks who live in southeastern Louisiana). But NO. not only does Obama STILL not put a temporary wavier on the JONES ACT, but now the coast guard are literally grabbing the only vessles doing anything and threatening to jail the crews for not being properly license.
the last two weeks Anderson Cooper has been landing some very nice guests. Today his opening remarks made me lose it. According to Anderson Cooper, John Young and Billy Nungesser, the Coast Guard suspended the activites of several vessels who were SUCCESSFULLY cleaning up the oil. The reason? because the vessels were not properly registered.
WHAT?! Registration?! yes, registration, the biggest threat to our environmental clean-up efforts and trying to save the livelihoods of those in the Gulf, because Obama forbid that somebody actual work on saving the gulf if they are not registered properly.
So after letting out that steam, lets objectively look at this, it could be that this registration is needed so that the coast guard knows whats available to them, so its good to keep them off the water until they are registered... that will only take 2 to3 weeks to register the boats. Yep, 2 to 3 WEEKS. And this is only the latest act of interfearence from our wonderful government who insist that they are "going to be relentless" in their efforts down here
Don't forget that the JONES Act , which is over 65 years old, requires that no vessel can operate in conjunction with the federal government UNLESS they are staffed by UNION Members. - You can't make this up.

Look folks theres no other way to say this, obama doesnt give a crap about louisiana, florida, texas or any other state for that matter, he just cares about his dream for total power and domination and he will do anything OR NOT DO ANYTHING in his power to acheive his goal.
I`m sorry people but its time you people wake up and see this man for what he is, he`s a puppet for the socialist radicals, he`s just a talking piece....no executive experience, no common sense, just a south side chicago thug and crook!
Let me give you an example of how he is a thug and a lying crook...........
In his "we have to destroy oil production in this country" speech is said we’re running out of places to drill for oil, we’re running out of places to drill because the federal government has confiscated the land and has cordoned it off. We’re not running out of places to drill in shallow water. That’s just an abject lie. Here, let me go to this now. Hang on. Where are you? Good lord, I’m all the way down to the bottom of the page, and I still haven’t found it. Oh, here it is. Let me take you back to August 18, 2009: “Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling.” You read that headline correctly, according to The Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is financing oil exploration off the coast – drum roll, please, drum roll – of Brazil. Brazil?
“The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Advisor James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan.”
How does the federal government get the authority to loan money to the Brazilian government so that they can explore for oil in shallow water? Here, let’s go through this exercise again. How does the federal government attain the authority, where does it divine said authority, to loan money to another foreign government for any purpose, for that matter? Can you answer that question? I can tell you this, it’s nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution. But that doesn’t matter. So the Brazilians don’t have to move to a green economy. So I’m just trying to illustrate here, this is not about saving the damn planet. And this is not about climate change. This is about Obama’s buddies standing there at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange needing him to force, ramrod, shove down our throats this cap-and-destroy, cap-and-tax plan sitting dead as a doornail in the United States Senate.
There’s a follow-up story here from CNNMoney.com, “The one oil stock that may be worth buying” these days. “Brazil is one of the favorites to win the World Cup. It may also be an investor favorite in the hard-hit oil sector. While shares of BP continue to get crushed as the spill in the Gulf of Mexico gets worse by the day, Brazil’s Petrobras has stabilized in the past month. The oil giant, which is controlled by the Brazilian government, is even considering selling a big chunk of stock in order to raise money to finance more drilling off the Brazilian coast.”
Now, bear in mind that I just read you that a large chunk of what Brazil already has was obtained by what? A loan from the Obama administration. So you Brazilians, have at it. Don’t worry. It’s completely safe. Nothing to see here. The beaches of Rio de Janeiro are secure. But the rest of you buffoons over here in the United States get ready for the clean energy economy that, whether you like it or not, you’re going to live under. Back to the digital media files. I just – the juxtaposition here is just, [mimicking President Obama] “We’re going to make the Gulf better than it was before. But if you worked in an oil patch, life sucks for you.”
[Clip] President Obama: For decades we have known the days of cheap and easily accessible oil were numbered.
I ask: We did?
[Clip] President Obama: For decades we’ve talked and talked about the need to end America’s century-long addiction to fossil fuels. And for decades we have failed to act with the sense of urgency that this challenge requires. Time and again the path forward has been blocked, not only by oil industry lobbyists, but also by a lack of political courage and candor. The consequences of our inaction are...
[Clip] President Obama: ...now in plain sight. Countries like China are investing in clean energy jobs and industries that should be right here in America.
I say: Are you kidding me? Countries like China are building coal-fired generating plants. [Mimicking Chinese accent] “As a matter of fact, China has a pledge to build one coal-fired generating plant every week for next 10 year, President Obama.” What are the Chinese doing that has to do with green energy off the Straits of Florida? Hmm? Anyone else remember this? There is oil in shallow water right off the coast of the United States; and it’s easy to get to, too. You know where it is? Yes, in addition to it being off the coast of Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi, it’s off the coast of Florida. You ever heard of the Florida Keys? You have? Well. That little body of water that is to the south of the Keys as they stretch out into the Gulf there, it is the Gulf of Mexico, but it is known as the Straits of Florida. What is it that is between Key West and Key Largo or Key Biscayne or Islamorada or any of those Keys, or what is on the other side of the Florida Straits south of those islands I just mentioned? You know what it is? Cuba. What are the Chinese doing down there right now, Mr. President, while they’re out there pursuing their alleged green energy future? I don’t believe this guy even looks into a camera and tells these lies. The Chinese are angle drilling, what is known as angle drilling, into what amounts to the territorial waters of the United States. What are they drilling for? Oil. With the Cubans. The Chinese are exploring for oil in partnerships with the Russkies. Where? Right off the coast of Alaska in the Arctic Ocean. The Chinese are exploring for oil off the coast of South America with who? The Venezuelans. Green energy, China is becoming a green economy, my ass. Unless it’s by attrition here because they have fewer citizens every week than they had the week before.
[Clip] President Obama: We send nearly $1 billion of our wealth to foreign countries for their oil.
I say: So?
[Clip] President Obama: Today, as we look to the Gulf, we see an entire way of life being threatened by a menacing cloud of black crude.
[Clip] President Obama: We cannot consign our children to this future.
I cant help but laugh at the extent of this mans lines of bullshit and that no one will question him on it.....
[Clip] President Obama: The tragedy unfolding on our coast is the most painful...
My response: Wait, wait, stop [laughing]. We cannot consign our children to the future that, if they want to go to one of Obama’s vaunted schools because education is key, what are you supposed to do? Take the solar transit to get there? We cannot consign our children to this future. This is again, ladies and gentlemen, just more disturbing evidence that everything that has happened before the reign of Barack Hussein has been an aberration. Everything that has happened before the reign of fire of Barack Hussein has been wrong and needs to be rewritten and needs to be done away with.

Paying Taxes Now Voluntary????
A leading member of the Senate argues in this video:
that the U.S. Tax System is completely voluntary. Yes, you read that correctly. In the most Orwellian bit of doublespeak ever offered, including anything printed in the classic 1984 itself, this leading Senator says with a straight face that our tax system is completely voluntary. You may have to go to jail or pay penalties, but he says, “it is a voluntary tax system."
I challenge any person in America to watch the video and tell me the Senator makes sense. The scariest part is he somehow believes what he is saying. Representative Hank Johnson of GA, who worried the island of Guam might tip over:
if we deployed 10,000 soldiers and their families, might not be the dumbest Congressman after all.
How can our Republic survive if we have politicians like these running our country? Senator Ensign of NV is now speaking optimistically about re-election despite lobbying violations with his mistress’s husband. Representative Stouder resigned his seat after an affair with a staff member, with whom he had been actively promoting abstinence. A candidate to replace Senator Dodd of CT, who is widely assumed to be resigning because of his sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial or his corrupt relationship with Fannie and Freddie, or both, is in hot water for lying about his service in Vietnam, again. He seems to have forgotten that he never actually served overseas, thanks to five consecutive deferments. Why do we support political parties and characters like these?
Now I’m going to make a few of you mad with these next comments, but this must be said. These people are ruining our country. Many of them are idiots and liars, and more than 90% of them get re-elected every two years because WE continue to support this corrupt system. How much longer are we going allow this broken system to persist? For those who are questioning the re-election rate, note in 53 districts in CA on Tuesday, not a single incumbent was defeated. The system is rigged. It is time to fix it.
Two-thirds of those surveyed in a recent USA Today poll:
.
describe themselves as "angry" about the way things are going in the USA, the highest percentage in the decade the question has been asked. By nearly 2-1, they would rather vote for a candidate who has never served in Congress over one with experience. The number of people claiming to be Independent is approaching 40%, with less than a third claiming they are Democrats (32%) or Republicans (28%). Yet 90% of incumbents will win their re-election bid in the House this November.
Are you ready to do things differently? We have the solution, but it does not look like we will get the numbers we need to effect the needed change in 2010. That is more than disappointing, but watching the incumbents win in primary after primary across America I am more convinced than ever that our plan is the only solution. Trying to take the politicians on in individual races is not working and never will. We must convince our family and friends to join us.
Albert Einstein once said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” I am as committed to this effort as ever. Our leaders are committed. We are shifting our focus to 2012 and will adjust our strategy since it is obvious the national media is going to ignore us; we hope you will stick with us. We will continue reaching out to every group in America with the understanding that as soon as enough of us rally around this non-partisan approach we can retake control of our government. With two more years, we will have time to reach our membership goal and take the incumbents out in the primaries. If those who feared splitting the vote will get on board, we can elect true citizen representatives in a landslide.
I just hope 2012 isn’t too late!

listen up libs/dems because this info is for you!
We have a Constitution, not to assert and to define and to provide warring factions over who has the right to do this or what right you have to speak this or bear that or any of these other things. We have a Constitution to define the limits under which a federal government may unite 50 states together in certain endeavors.
Under this thing called a Constitution – this is Constitution for Dummies here. Little yellow books that you buy? You know. Gardening for Dummies, Homework for Dummies, whatever. Constitution for Dummies here. I’m trying to give you ammo so that you can explain it to people that you know are stupid. I mean, so stupid their heads hurt; okay? So that’s why we have a Constitution. It’s not for rights, not for any – it is to define a system of government under which 50 states can act together in some matters as a more perfect union. That’s what it’s there for. So the Constitution is a limitation on what that government may do to the people residing in the states. To carry forth the goal of the Constitution it was the determination of the men that wrote it that we would break the power structure up into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial.
Legislature, if you read Article I, Section 1 – all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representin’. That’s how you define the legislature. Senate and House of Representin’. Executive is defined as a President. President gets to make appointments with the advise and consent of the Senate. He may appoint cabinet members to discharge the duties that he is charged with, which are enforcing the laws. The executive enforces the laws. The judiciary determines in certain instances whether or not Congress may have overstepped its boundaries. If it has, then the judiciary’s job is to strike that statute down. Strike it down. Congress’s statutes, not the states, Congress’s. The Supreme Court was never intended to have a damn thing to say about issues of the states, only issues between the states and foreign lands.
So that is the structure: legislative, executive, judicial. Legislative is Congress and the Senate. Executive is the presidency. And the judicial is the Supreme Court and, as the Constitution calls them, inferior tribunals which may be constituted under law written by Congress. We know them as federal judges.
So this is the way this is set up. Now, to further define what Congress may or may not do, the men that wrote the Constitution said, well, how are we going to limit its powers? This is dangerous to create this central authority. It is frighteningly dangerous to create this central authority. Didn’t we just escape a central authority from the King and from Parliament? Yeah, we sure did, guys. Well, how are we going to limit this thing?
Well, in our document here we’re going to have this thing called Article I,
Section 8. And in this Article here we’re going to define what this Congress may do to carry out its legislative authority or to carry out its legislative duties. Again, the goal not being to establish rights, to provide anything, for certain individuals to favor one state or another, one individual over another, to give you the right to bear this or speak that or not to be cruelly or unusually punished, none of that stuff. Those enumerations in Article I, Section 8 define what the Congress may do. That’s it. It is a very explicit list. I believe there are 18 enumerations in there. And when those are carried out, then those are supreme acts of the law of the land.
So let me explain the Supremacy Clause for Dummies. The only time a federal law is supreme is if it is enumerated. In other words, if Congress has the authority to coin money, and it does, and it coins the money, which it used to, then the congress’s coined money is the supreme law of the land. It supersedes the ability of the states to not honor that currency. States can still coin money, should they choose. But they may not not honor that currency. It is the supreme currency of the land, just to give you an example. Okay. So we have enumerated powers. If it’s not an enumerated power, then Congress may not do it. Are we all clear on that?
Where oh where would you find the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency under the guidelines that I just set up for how the Constitution created and brought to life the federal government? Where?
No where, ITS NOT IN THERE!!
Well, it’s not – not only is it not in the Constitution, the Environmental Protection Agency was created by an act of the President in 1972. That would have been Richard Nixon. Nixon, under pressure from a bunch of tree-hugging wackos who were scared to death that the Earth was coming to an end because of this thing called “Silent Spring,” this incident in upstate New York, decided, wait, we’ve got to transfer some more liberty. We’ve got take some more liberty away from the people and transfer it to the central authority here in Washington. We’ll create this thing called the EPA. And we’ll give them dominion over all the air and all the water.
Now, there is a clause in the Constitution that Congress may pass acts regulating the use of navigable waters. Let me ask you a question. Is the ditch in front of your house a navigable water? Well, I suppose if you’ve got a little fishing boat, one of those little model boats? Know what I’m talking about, remote control-powered boats that you put in the bathtub? I suppose that it’s a navigable waterway there. I’m being facetious to make a point, that ever since the beginning of the implementation of this thing called the Constitution, there have been assaults against everything that was reserved to the states. I’m trying – let me make the final thing as clear as I possibly can, the final statement on this. The reason there were enumerated powers, ladies and gentlemen – pay very rapt, close attention to this. The reason there were enumerated powers, powers granted to the new federal government, which didn’t exist prior to 1789, that it may execute and that it may make law on and that it was to reign supreme on, the reason that those powers were enumerated is because it was understood by the ratifying states, the eight states that ratified in 1788 or so, that everything that was not enumerated in that document was reserved to the states. Everything. No matter what it was.
And the only way you could get around that enumeration was how?
Amendment, that’s right.
Has there been an amendment to the Constitution to allow the regulation of exhaling carbon dioxide? No?
Has there been anything that has ever been said, written, or implied about the Constitution and about the enumerated powers that would lead you to believe that that power was ever transferred to Congress? I’m speaking of Congress here. I’m not even talking about the EPA. Well, then how is it, here in 2010, that an agency that was unconstitutionally created to execute what in my opinion are unconstitutional laws, which is not to say that environmental regulation can’t be carried out by the states because it should be, and it is their purview, is now standing on the precipice of being able to micromanage and regulate every facet of our lives. And in direct defiance, the 53 people that voted to not assert their authority over EPA yesterday, in my humble opinion, they’re not treasonous, and they’re not traitorous, they are seditious, and they are in violation of their oath of office. They refused to carry out the oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution.
So go ahead mr president, congress of the united states, and all you federal judges....keep destroying my country and my constitution, and my countries great history...constitutional scholar(obama)my ass!

That’s how you define the legislature. Senate and House of Representin’. Executive is defined as a President. President gets to make appointments with the advise and consent of the Senate. He may appoint cabinet members to discharge the duties that he is charged with, which are enforcing the laws. The executive enforces the laws. The judiciary determines in certain instances whether or not Congress may have overstepped its boundaries. If it has, then the judiciary’s job is to strike that statute down. Strike it down. Congress’s statutes, not the states, Congress’s. The Supreme Court was never intended to have a damn thing to say about issues of the states, only issues between the states and foreign lands.
So that is the structure: legislative, executive, judicial. Legislative is Congress and the Senate. Executive is the presidency. And the judicial is the Supreme Court and, as the Constitution calls them, inferior tribunals which may be constituted under law written by Congress. We know them as federal judges.
So this is the way this is set up. Now, to further define what Congress may or may not do, the men that wrote the Constitution said, well, how are we going to limit its powers? This is dangerous to create this central authority. It is frighteningly dangerous to create this central authority. Didn’t we just escape a central authority from the King and from Parliament? Yeah, we sure did, guys. Well, how are we going to limit this thing?
Well, in our document here we’re going to have this thing called Article I,
Section 8. And in this Article here we’re going to define what this Congress may do to carry out its legislative authority or to carry out its legislative duties. Again, the goal not being to establish rights, to provide anything, for certain individuals to favor one state or another, one individual over another, to give you the right to bear this or speak that or not to be cruelly or unusually punished, none of that stuff. Those enumerations in Article I, Section 8 define what the Congress may do. That’s it. It is a very explicit list. I believe there are 18 enumerations in there. And when those are carried out, then those are supreme acts of the law of the land.
So let me explain the Supremacy Clause for Dummies. The only time a federal law is supreme is if it is enumerated. In other words, if Congress has the authority to coin money, and it does, and it coins the money, which it used to, then the congress’s coined money is the supreme law of the land. It supersedes the ability of the states to not honor that currency. States can still coin money, should they choose. But they may not not honor that currency. It is the supreme currency of the land, just to give you an example. Okay. So we have enumerated powers. If it’s not an enumerated power, then Congress may not do it. Are we all clear on that?
Where oh where would you find the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency under the guidelines that I just set up for how the Constitution created and brought to life the federal government? Where?
No where, ITS NOT IN THERE!!
Well, it’s not – not only is it not in the Constitution, the Environmental Protection Agency was created by an act of the President in 1972. That would have been Richard Nixon. Nixon, under pressure from a bunch of tree-hugging wackos who were scared to death that the Earth was coming to an end because of this thing called “Silent Spring,” this incident in upstate New York, decided, wait, we’ve got to transfer some more liberty. We’ve got take some more liberty away from the people and transfer it to the central authority here in Washington. We’ll create this thing called the EPA. And we’ll give them dominion over all the air and all the water.
Now, there is a clause in the Constitution that Congress may pass acts regulating the use of navigable waters. Let me ask you a question. Is the ditch in front of your house a navigable water? Well, I suppose if you’ve got a little fishing boat, one of those little model boats? Know what I’m talking about, remote control-powered boats that you put in the bathtub? I suppose that it’s a navigable waterway there. I’m being facetious to make a point, that ever since the beginning of the implementation of this thing called the Constitution, there have been assaults against everything that was reserved to the states. I’m trying – let me make the final thing as clear as I possibly can, the final statement on this. The reason there were enumerated powers, ladies and gentlemen – pay very rapt, close attention to this. The reason there were enumerated powers, powers granted to the new federal government, which didn’t exist prior to 1789, that it may execute and that it may make law on and that it was to reign supreme on, the reason that those powers were enumerated is because it was understood by the ratifying states, the eight states that ratified in 1788 or so, that everything that was not enumerated in that document was reserved to the states. Everything. No matter what it was.
And the only way you could get around that enumeration was how?
Amendment, that’s right.
Has there been an amendment to the Constitution to allow the regulation of exhaling carbon dioxide? No?
Has there been anything that has ever been said, written, or implied about the Constitution and about the enumerated powers that would lead you to believe that that power was ever transferred to Congress? I’m speaking of Congress here. I’m not even talking about the EPA. Well, then how is it, here in 2010, that an agency that was unconstitutionally created to execute what in my opinion are unconstitutional laws, which is not to say that environmental regulation can’t be carried out by the states because it should be, and it is their purview, is now standing on the precipice of being able to micromanage and regulate every facet of our lives. And in direct defiance, the 53 people that voted to not assert their authority over EPA yesterday, in my humble opinion, they’re not treasonous, and they’re not traitorous, they are seditious, and they are in violation of their oath of office. They refused to carry out the oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution.
So go ahead mr president, congress of the united states, and all you federal judges....keep destroying my country and my constitution, and my countries great history...constitutional scholar(obama)my ass!
When Legislators Don't Legislate
Now, here we are at the end of this week. And I was talking to a friend yesterday, and I said, you know what, I think that if Obama wanted to dissolve the Congress and dissolve the Senate because they just weren’t getting the job done, and he needed more power to deal with BP, then he would just sign an executive order and send them all home, declare some kind of a rebellion or martial law or whatever, you people would take it. We’d take it.
That’s basically what happened yesterday. The Senate voted itself out of a job, decided that it does not have the plenary authority, the legislative authority to pass the laws that tell the EPA what it is supposed to do, and instead that EPA, which is not elected, does not have to answer to voters in any of the 50 states, doesn’t have anyone that has a nameplate, you can’t look them up on the Internet and start a complaint line or anything, that the Environmental Protection Agency is its own super legislature. You don’t think that if they can get away with this, that they couldn’t get away with just dissolving the Senate and the House and just going home and appointing Obama king? What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it?
I have the answer to that question. You’re not going to do anything about it. None of us are going to do anything about it. We’re going to sit out here, we’re going to play Scrabble with our friends, we’re going to cook hotdogs and hamburgers and go about our merry way and not worry about it any longer because, “Chris, Chris there’s nothing really we can do about it. We’re powerless.” I mean, this is really what it’s coming down to here.
Now, I know that there are elections in November, and a lot of people are pinning their hopes, thinking, “Oh, we’re going to get them back. We’re going to fix this thing. We’re going to – you wait and see, Mr. Church. Stop with your negativity.” Why don’t you call me up and give me something to be positive over, as it applies to our federal Leviathan out there. Because if it exists, I do not see it. Maybe my eyes are closed. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t good things happening outside of government because there always are. We are, after all, Americans. Well, we were when we woke up this morning. I don’t know how much longer that will hold true. But we shall press on.
Now, I have this story here. There’s 53 Senators that voted yesterday to allow the Environmental Protection Agency to – did you here Schumer? Well did you? Blah blah blah blah blah. Yes, 53 members of the United States Senate basically decided yesterday that they don’t care to actually cast votes on things that their constituents have sent them there to cast votes on, that it is not a worthy endeavor anymore. Well, we can just hand this off to an agency. Now, this has been one of the – how do I want to say this? – one of the causes célèbres that we have talked about here on this show for the last three years solid, which is the separation of powers and the enumeration of powers. Nowhere in the federal compact can you divine a power that would give any agency, no matter who created it or when it was created, the authority to regulate the air you exhale. Yet that is exactly what the EPA is going to do.
You have Democrats that are elected in states that produce coal, Robert Byrd from West Virginia being one, Bob Casey from Pennsylvania being another. What do you people in Pennsylvania produce? Do you have coal mines? Or did I read that wrong in the encyclopedia when I was a little boy? You remember how when you’re a little kid, you look at the encyclopedia of the states, and it would show you little icon symbols like the nondescript androgynous Olympic symbols for running, track, field, swimming and what have you? Well, they’d have the coal mine symbol in the western part of Pennsylvania; right? Don’t I have that right? There’s coal in Pennsylvania; right? Your senator, Bob Casey, threw you under the bus yesterday, backed it up, beep beep beep, and then put it in forward and ran you over again. How does this happen? What is produced when Pennsylvania coal is burned? What gas is produced? Carbon dioxide. What is produced when West Virginia coal is burned? Carbon dioxide. Does it matter? Nope.
So the Senate votes yesterday against the Murkowski resolution. What was the Murkowski resolution? That was from a senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, who said that we have to stop the EPA from enforcing this endangerment finding that a Supreme Court said the EPA must enforce. You may recall in 2008 there was a lawsuit that was filed. It made its way all the way to the Supreme Court. In a five-to-four act of tyranny, five justices who will never face a reelection campaign decided that the Environmental Protection Agency must unilaterally act to protect Americans, using the Clean Air Act, from the horrors of carbon dioxide. In other words, from the horrors of what the person sitting next to you is exhaling right now. In other words, from the horrors – if you go outside, look at your lawn, look at a tree in your front yard – from the horrors of what your tree is eating, from the horrors of what the bushes are eating, from the horrors of what the pepper plants in my backyard are digesting. It’s called carbon dioxide.
And so the EPA has been rattling its saber, saying, yeah, we kind of like that Supreme Court ruling, even though it’s totally unconstitutional, even though we have no authority to write laws whatsoever. We’re just going to go ahead and do it anyways. And so now they have moved to do this. And the United States Senate could have reasserted its authority to pass these laws. It is the Congress’s job, if such a determination is to be made, that there should be regulation of carbon dioxide, and that you are a threat to the planet by your simple existence. Hell, think of it like this. Mammals, if you go through the fossil record, what, you have the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. And then after the dinosaurs get cleared out, what happens? It’s the rise of the mammals. Right? Mammals exhale carbon dioxide. I’m not breaking any news here. Maybe to the Senate I am. Maybe to Obama I am, who is ordering his EPA director, that little midget, that little tyrannical tinhorn dictator midget, Lisa Jackson, to start implementing these rules.
And so yesterday the Senate had a chance to vote to stop this, and they did not do so. This is why I bring this up with sadness. This is an absolute horrible day. I can scream and holler from now till the end of time. I don’t think it’ll matter. Most people are going to cook out this weekend, not going to worry about it. Most of your friends and neighbors don’t even know that it happened. And life will proceed. It’ll become more difficult for life to proceed. But as a great Virginian once wrote, once acts of tyranny and slavery are passed, and you kind of get used to them, you pass them on to the next generation, and the next generation doesn’t know that they’re slaves. And so they’re pretty happy with them. They don’t mind. That’s what’s happening in this republic today. So I ask you again, what are you going to do about it?
Answer: Not a G-damn thing.
But “Chris, we’re going to vote this November.” That’s just not good enough anymore. Like I say all the time, you’re not radical enough, and this country is not polorized enough for me!
That’s basically what happened yesterday. The Senate voted itself out of a job, decided that it does not have the plenary authority, the legislative authority to pass the laws that tell the EPA what it is supposed to do, and instead that EPA, which is not elected, does not have to answer to voters in any of the 50 states, doesn’t have anyone that has a nameplate, you can’t look them up on the Internet and start a complaint line or anything, that the Environmental Protection Agency is its own super legislature.

More Left-wing Violence at Peaceful Tea Party Protests
The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress. Tea Party activists in Tampa and St. Louis were beaten by left wing activists earlier this year. Add Greensboro to that list. This week, a group of local citizens in North Carolina protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment were accosted and then physically attacked by a left-wing activist who blamed George Bush for America’s ills.
Dont think for one minute that this type of violence is not what obama has planned, this is exactly what he wants, and has openly called for!

Insight from a man who actually lives in Louisiana and who doesnt kiss up to Dear Leader...
Mike: So I was not around on Friday when our supreme allied oil commander-in-chief made his vaunted appearance, the messianic appearance down on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. You know, even the local TV stations, or at least one of them, picked up on this, that if you saw the photo op setup for Obama’s appearance on the beach at Grand Isle, Louisiana, if you saw it with a wide-angle lens, you saw all the White House’s miniature versions of Annie Lebowitz there. No no no no. No, there’s a seashell in the way. Oh, no, he needs to move to the right. No, there’s a rig out there in the background. It doesn’t look right. What an absolute scam. But Obama was on the job
You know what’s the amazing thing about this, and for the first four days that I was out I tried to stay away from the news. So I’ll just confess to you that, other than my friends calling me and demanding that I turn the TV on Friday, and demanding that I go on the air on Saturday and denounce the President’s appearance here as nothing more than a press conference photo op that did nothing to stop the flow of oil – as a matter of fact it seems – now, this is an amazing thing, absolutely amazing. The worst television network out there is OMSNBC. Now, the only reason that they’re the worst is because the Clinton News Network, CNN, actually spends more money on talent. They actually spend more money trying to fake that they’re not the worst. And this is how this is being perceived down here in Southeast Louisiana at oil spill central.
And I keep hearing this from friends; I see it on television; I hear it on the radio around here. And they say, why, look at what CNN’s done. Where’s Fox News? Why aren’t they down? Why aren’t they here covering this? People are upset that Fox News has not sent its entire news team to the beaches of Grand Isle so that they can demagogue this thing and give it coverage. And so the Clinton News Network has revived its fortunes a little bit. Now, the worst thing that can happen for CNN right now is for this latest operation of BP to stop the spill, is for it to actually work. If that were to happen, well, that would be absolutely damaging to CNN. There’s no one that is cheerleading this more than the Clinton News Network right now. Believe me, folks, in the newsrooms at CNN they are sitting there waiting with bated breath, I mean, their future relies, their future lies on the failure, or is reliant on the failure of BP to cap the leak.
So how amazing is this? Today is Wednesday, June the 2nd. I haven’t been here for five days, six days. And in the six days that I was gone, little has changed. And I’m going to reiterate something to you again that we talked about all last week. And it seems like I’m the only little voice of reason out here crying in the wilderness. “Mike, what are you going to reiterate?” Well, it’s very simple. Government has demonstrated, especially the federal government, has demonstrated the outright utter absurdity that it can effectively manage anything beyond a few specific enumerated powers that it ought to be carrying out. Certainly not oil spill control. Now, they’re good at damage control. They’re in damage control mode. But they are not good at oil spill control. I mean, it is absolute folly to rely on them. It just – when does the rest of the republic, when do the rest of the people come around to the realization that there are very few things that any governing body actually does correctly?
Here’s what they do right. They can run a money printing press correctly. We know they can do that. They can start wars, and they can kill people all around the globe, 365 days out of the year. They can do that. They can build one hell of a nuclear device which can destroy people that the previous wars did not get to, should they be used. They can do that. They can run a decent court system and lock people away for making individual choices in their lives. They can do that. They can run a prison system. They can do that. Let’s see. They can’t do the border. Can’t write rules for naturalization and immigration. They fail to do that. Can’t enforce the rules that they have already written. And now we believe that Attorney General Eric Holder showing up here on the beaches of Grand Isle with a couple satchels full of subpoenas and legal papers, if we just stuff that into the mouth of the Deep Horizon oil spill, that will clean – that will stop the leak. How ridiculous is this?
[Mimicking President Obama] “Now, let me assure the American people that we will bring to justice those that are responsible for this.” Here, let’s bring some of the people that are responsible for this. How about the government bureaucrats that helped craft the rules that allowed this thing to take place in the first place? How about this? How about finding out which airhead bureaucrat or which airhead senator or congressman’s idea it was to stop issuing – it might have been a bureau chief – to stop issuing permits to drill in shallow water, forcing companies like British Petroleum to get off the land and to invent new and more better ways to go and drill out in the middle of the damn Gulf of Mexico in one mile of water? How about that? Why don’t we find out who that person was? Seems to me that much of this anger is directed in the wrong direction, or is being put out there in the wrong direction. What I mean by that is the idea that government works, and this is why people are upset. Welcome to our nightmare, ladies and gentlemen. Just wait till they get a hold of your healthcare.
How many, I wonder how many lawsuits it – this is like the old joke, how many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb? How many lawyers does it take to fill the Deep Horizon oil spill up, to plug it up? [Mimicking President Obama] “Plug the damn hole. Get in there and plug up the damn hole.” Oh, we have lots of other news. Oh, this is a great one. Now, 10 days ago I reported to you right here on this program that actor Kevin Costner had an idea, as a matter of fact he patented the damn thing. It’s a ship that goes out into bodies of water like, oh, I don’t know, the Gulf of Mexico maybe, and this ship looks for these things called, oh, I think they’re called oil spills. And when the ship that Kevin Costner runs and invested his money into finds said oil spill, it – here comes a – now give me a drum roll. It sucks the oil in the water out of the Gulf at the same time onto the ship.
Now, bear with me here. This is really complicated stuff. I don’t expect any bureaucrats to get this. I certainly don’t expect any members of Congress to get it. And I know the President isn’t going to get it. Otherwise we’d have 50 supertankers out there doing this right now. They pump the oil and water mixture onto the ship. And this oil and water separator gizmo device separates the oil from the water, takes the oil portion of it, and pumps it into what’s called a storage tank. I mean, this is, folks, this is high tech, never before done on American or international waters stuff before. And then it takes the water that it has separated from the oil; and it, why, it pumps it back out into the Gulf. What a fantastic idea. Hey, does anyone know where there may be a giant oil spill where we can try this out?
Silence from the Obama administration. Silence from the Minerals and Management Service. Silence from the Environmental Protection Agency. Silence – hey, maybe Eric Holder knows. Boy, this Eric Holder guy has been busy while I’ve been on vacation, too. He’s overseas – let’s see here. He’s suing Arizona. He’s suing BP. He’s going to clean up the Gulf. He’s going to clean up the border of Arizona. And then he’s overseas, and now he’ll have to sue someone in Israel for the flotilla incident yesterday.
All I can say is that Mike Church is right on the money, and says what needs to be said.....he tells it like it is and doesnt give a damn what chairman Mau has to say!
Bring it on Mike, bring it on...
You know what’s the amazing thing about this, and for the first four days that I was out I tried to stay away from the news. So I’ll just confess to you that, other than my friends calling me and demanding that I turn the TV on Friday, and demanding that I go on the air on Saturday and denounce the President’s appearance here as nothing more than a press conference photo op that did nothing to stop the flow of oil – as a matter of fact it seems – now, this is an amazing thing, absolutely amazing.

How about the government bureaucrats that helped craft the rules that allowed this thing to take place in the first place? How about this? How about finding out which airhead bureaucrat or which airhead senator or congressman’s idea it was to stop issuing – it might have been a bureau chief – to stop issuing permits to drill in shallow water, forcing companies like British Petroleum to get off the land and to invent new and more better ways to go and drill out in the middle of the damn Gulf of Mexico in one mile of water? How about that? Why don’t we find out who that person was? Seems to me that much of this anger is directed in the wrong direction, or is being put out there in the wrong direction. What I mean by that is the idea that government works, and this is why people are upset. Welcome to our nightmare, ladies and gentlemen. Just wait till they get a hold of your healthcare.
How many, I wonder how many lawsuits it – this is like the old joke, how many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb? How many lawyers does it take to fill the Deep Horizon oil spill up, to plug it up? [Mimicking President Obama] “Plug the damn hole. Get in there and plug up the damn hole.” Oh, we have lots of other news. Oh, this is a great one. Now, 10 days ago I reported to you right here on this program that actor Kevin Costner had an idea, as a matter of fact he patented the damn thing. It’s a ship that goes out into bodies of water like, oh, I don’t know, the Gulf of Mexico maybe, and this ship looks for these things called, oh, I think they’re called oil spills. And when the ship that Kevin Costner runs and invested his money into finds said oil spill, it – here comes a – now give me a drum roll. It sucks the oil in the water out of the Gulf at the same time onto the ship.
Now, bear with me here. This is really complicated stuff. I don’t expect any bureaucrats to get this. I certainly don’t expect any members of Congress to get it. And I know the President isn’t going to get it. Otherwise we’d have 50 supertankers out there doing this right now. They pump the oil and water mixture onto the ship. And this oil and water separator gizmo device separates the oil from the water, takes the oil portion of it, and pumps it into what’s called a storage tank. I mean, this is, folks, this is high tech, never before done on American or international waters stuff before. And then it takes the water that it has separated from the oil; and it, why, it pumps it back out into the Gulf. What a fantastic idea. Hey, does anyone know where there may be a giant oil spill where we can try this out?
Silence from the Obama administration. Silence from the Minerals and Management Service. Silence from the Environmental Protection Agency. Silence – hey, maybe Eric Holder knows. Boy, this Eric Holder guy has been busy while I’ve been on vacation, too. He’s overseas – let’s see here. He’s suing Arizona. He’s suing BP. He’s going to clean up the Gulf. He’s going to clean up the border of Arizona. And then he’s overseas, and now he’ll have to sue someone in Israel for the flotilla incident yesterday.
All I can say is that Mike Church is right on the money, and says what needs to be said.....he tells it like it is and doesnt give a damn what chairman Mau has to say!
Bring it on Mike, bring it on...
