Yesterday, Green Jobs Czar Van Jones resigned. Still refusing to face his past, he wrote in his resignation letter that his detractors were using lies and distortions to smear him. This self-avowed communist has failed to face his past head on. Youtube is full of his videos where he is giving talks and speeches and clearly aligning himself as a socialist at best, communist at worst. This country and its fundamental principals spent years in the Cold War fighting the repressiveness of communism. Barack Obama used the absolute worst judgement possible for the President of the United States in allowing this communist to gain such a highly paid, unaccountable position in the administration. The Constitution, Articles of Confederation and Declaration of Independence never once mentions the position of czar, special advisor or anything else like this. To date, I have been unable to find a law in the federal code that allows this as well. Cass Sunstein, you better get yourself right. You are under the microscope next.

Last week, Fox News Reporter Glenn Beck, star of The Glenn Beck Show, produced and aired a 5 day series on questioning the government. This is a basic right in this country. In fact, most hold this a duty in a Democratic Republic. We elect Senators and Congressmen to represent us at the federal level. We should be fully aware of what we are getting. After all, most Americans are out of touch after the elections and not likely to get involved again until the next electoral process.

This is appalling. This lackadaisical attitude fuels the controversial actions of the President and Representatives. Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act, the Patriot Act and other bills that many see as eroding civil rights. Now Obama wants to use this same apathy to railroad in Health Care Reform, the way he did the Economic Stimulus Package, the CIA investigations and the creation of more czars than ever before in a democracy. He wants to counter the unexpected rise in opposition, grassroots opposition, and parlay fears of H1N1 as a tool to get the Health Care Reform passed. He outwardly says the Democrats should not use the death of Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy as a means to pass the bill, yet Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services did just that - even go so far as to refer to the bill as the Kennedy Health Care Bill. Ted Kennedy, or any other Democrat in office, wrote this bill. The Apollo Alliance and ACORN are the authors. Few, if any of the Sponsors and Co-Sponsors have actually read the bill.

In order to control content, the Senate introduced the Cyber Security Act of 2009. This bill would give the President unprecedented powers over the internet and its content. The new Diversity Csar has also cited the internet as something that needs to be controlled for its political dialogue. Ironically, as pointed out by Glenn Beck, the Diversity Board that this new Csar heads is manned by representatives of the Apollo Group, ACORN and other radical left wing liberal individuals and organizations. Not one center or right-of-center group or individual sits on this advisory panel.

I will take your advice Mr Beck. I will continue to ask questions, I will challenge the status quo whether it be Democrat or Republican in office.

It is important to note that Glenn Beck is non-partisan. He is equally critical of the right as he is the left. It is also important to note, Van Jones, an admitted radical communist that now is a presidential advisor, started his campaign against Glenn Beck only after Beck first brought to light the communist associations of Mr Jones. It is just as important to note, Mr Van Jones was jailed for his participation in the LA riots in the early 1990's. By his own admission, he became a "radical socialist and communist" while serving time.

After a previous failed attempt to give the POTUS unprecedented powers over communications, the Senate has rewritten the bill. However, the clear language of giving the President sole discretion of what defines a cyber-security event has been replaced with more vague language, giving the President sole discretion of what defines a cyber-security event.

A bill of this magnitude would have been blasted by the very authors and advocates of the POTUS were held by a Republican. This is nothing less than governmental intrusion in our daily lives. The Dems know how much people depend on the internet for shopping, political debate and communications in general, if they seize control of all political debate, organizing and even campaigns.

A recent CNN report on conservative organizing on twitter and political blogs like this one may have kept the issue alive in the Senate. Obama got props for utilizing internet technology in organizing and running his political campaign for President. Many Republicans and conservatives have also utilized the internet and technology for the same thing and now the Dems see the threat. 

I went to the Center for American Progress web site(you have to know your enemy to defeat your enemy) and I found an article on their site actually heaping praise on Barney Frank's response to questions concerning health care reform. Of course, this article also stated that Frank was, "..one of the brightest and most erudite members of Congres..."

The best part came when a woman stood up with a photo of President Barack Obama, doctored with a toothbrush moustache to resemble one popularized by Adolph Hitler, to ask why Frank was supporting a Nazi-like health care proposal.

“On what planet do you spend most of your time?” Frank asked her.

I’ve wondered the same thing as I’ve watched these know-nothings attend town hall meetings in Democratic districts, seeking to dominate the setting with behavior that wouldn’t be tolerated in a kindergarten class. - Sam Fullwood in an article on Center for American Progress

I recall the Reagan/Carter debates and election cycle. The 52 American hostages had been held for over a year. Ayatollah Khomeini was teasing Carter with the hostages and after a failed rescue attempt, separated them to make it harder for the USA to rescue. I recall the election night returns. I remember Ronald Reagan carrying 49 of 50 states. I remember, when Reagan ran for re-election, his debate with former Vice President Walter Mondale, the debate Reagan and Mondale had. I remember the first campaign before he chose George H.W. Bush as his running mate, the debate they had for the Republican ticket.

Within hours of Reagan's Inauguration, the announcement came that the hostages had been released and were being sent to Frankfort Germany to a US Military hospital for checkup and care.

I remember the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. I remember his remark to Nancy that he had forgot to duck. He had also joked with the surgical staff hoping they were not Democrats. I remember his triumphant return to the Oval Office after recovering from the attack and surgeries.

I remember something about Reagan early on. I remember him being criticized by the media for not meeting with the Soviet leaders. I remember him remarking that he would but they keep dying. Then, I recall, he met with Gorbachev. He told Gorbachev he did not trust him and said he would be glad to explain it to him why he didn't trust him.

I recall the SDI or "Star Wars" program. Many in the United States made fun of Reagan for it. But there was one person not making fun, Gorbachev. He was afraid of it. Reagan was astute enough to know that when a Soviet leader is anxious to negotiate something out of existence, that he must be afraid of it. Reagan kept SDI on the table. Even more so, he offered the Soviets the blueprints so they could build there own. This did nothing to put Gorbachev's mind at ease. Why? Because Gorbachev knew the Soviet economy could not support the construction and deployment of this system. Reagan kept it on the table.

I remember the stain on the Reagan Administration, the Iran-Contra Affair.

I recall the Savings and Loans Failures and the trouble with the Keeting Five.

Reagan inherited a stagnate economy, some would say the recession was already underway. He inherited excessive overuse of regulation. He was not afraid to tackle a hostile joint session of Congress. He was not afraid to tell Gorbachev how he felt, how the US would deal with things and above all, he was not afraid to tackle Communism as a whole. He literally wore the communists in the Soviet Union out. He wore them down. So much so that two years after he left office, the communist Soviet system collapsed. Even George H.W. Bush was unprepared for the fall.

I recall Reagan. I respect Reagan. I miss Reagan and I, without a shadow of a doubt, miss the Reagan Revolution.

 

There are, as you may know, a great deal of public anger over the health care reform bill. People are showing up at town hall meetings putting their legislatures on notice. Many have publicly stated they have not read the bill. Some even admitted to needing a team of lawyers to explain to them what they have read if they indeed took the time to do so.

As if this isn't bad enough, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the like demean the protesters as Nazi's, racists and anti-Obama regardless of the fact that as many Democrat voters are showing up in protest as Republican voters.

This is a 1017 page health care debacle. It is a neo-socialist takeover of the health care system. This same socialism developed the Cash for Clunkers program. Sean Hannity has had several car dealers on his program claiming many have had claims out for over three weeks, in some cases totally around $2,000,000, and all the government does is extend the deadline for paperwork filings. This is the same government that wants to administer your health care.

As if all this isn't bad enough, I read the bill again. I noticed something very odd. The bill identified its primary sponsor, many co-sponsers, all of whom are Democrats - liberal lefties. But something else caught my eye, or at least didn't catch my eye. The original author. This 1017 page novel of a health care bill does not identify the author(s). I am sure that a lot of thought, careful planning and many, many hours of typing went into this bill. So why does the original author, the person(s) that type this bill up, fail to identify themselves? Many have publicly stated it is suspicious that a bill this large could have been written in such a short time frame.

I would implore you to read this bill. Look for the authors identity. Ask the questions. If you live in an area where a town hall meeting is to be held about this bill, please ask the politburo who wrote it. I have a nasty feeling that America will be shaken to the core when it is revealed who wrote it.

I live in the great state of Oklahoma. James Inhofe and Tom Coburn are my Senators and Frank Lucas is my Representative. All three are Republicans. All three are against the Health Care Reform Bill. Inhofe and Coburn were against the Socialist economic recovery package. I am not sure of Frank Lucas' position.

Why am I blogging this to you? Because I can't go to a town hall meeting and have my 5 minute outburst and end up being on Fox News Channels Hannity or The O'Reilly Factor. At best, I can go to a town hall meeting and thank them for their common sense stands and encourage them to keep up the fight against the neo-socialist agenda.

For those of you that live in districts represented by liberal or socialists politiburo, I would encourage you to burn up the phone lines, join in at the town halls if they are still hosting one, get on the letter writing campaign both postal and at congress.org. These really are attention-getters. They may not be persuaded but at the very least, they will not be surprised when they lose their next re-election bid.
