Make Mine Freedom

From the cold war era, 1948…eerie….

 

From the Resistance

Thanks Bill, we shall pass this on!

From the Patriotic Resistance:

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and
Republicans, called upon  America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT
Uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, legitimately questioned, and
I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray
for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a
one-term President!

Why am I doing this?

It is because I do not share Obama’s vision for  America ;

I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

I do not share his radical Marxist’s concept of re-distributing wealth;

I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make
$150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of
marriage;

I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made
public);

I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in
America ;

I do not share his Strategic views of the  Middle East , and certainly do
not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as  Iran .

Bottom line, my  America is vastly different from Obama’s, and I have a
higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for
their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and
his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their
personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated
except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have
mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding
and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ
from our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms,
and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked
one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

Unite behind Obama?  Never!

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard,
but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe
are the embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not
sure how history will judge him. 

Majority rules in  America , and I will honor the concept; however, I
will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama
and “his goals for  America .”

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked,
will destroy our Country!!  Any more compromise is more defeat!

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat
on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to
slowly change so much of what has been good in  America !

“Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat
it.”

Obama Revelling in Power unseen in Decades

From Reuters:

By Steve Holland

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Barack Obama is revelling in presidential power and influence unseen in Washington for decades.

Barely 100 days in office, the U.S. president and his Democratic Party have firm control over the White House and Congress and the ability to push through ambitious plans.

Now, with the coming retirement of a Supreme Court justice clearing the way for him to appoint a successor, Obama already is assured a legacy at the top of all three branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial.

On the corporate front, the federal government’s pumping of billions of dollars in bailout money into banks and auto companies has given Obama the power to force an overhaul in those industries, a remarkable intervention in capitalist industries by the state.

Americans are giving him leeway as well. His job approval ratings are well over 60 percent, giving him political capital to undertake big challenges.

His political opponents, the Republicans, are in disarray, reduced in numbers and engaged in an internal struggle over how to recover from devastating election losses in 2006 and last year.

Experts speak of Obama in the same league as such transformational presidents as Democrat Franklin Roosevelt, who led the United States through the Great Depression and World War Two, and Republican Ronald Reagan, who led the country to victory in the Cold War.

“I cannot in my memory remember a time when a president of the United States has had more influence,” said Democratic strategist Doug Schoen, who worked in the Clinton White House.

“Not only is it his moment, it is a level of influence and power for a president that is literally unprecedented from any time since the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt. If he handles it right, it could be his century.”

STROKE OF LUCK

Obama is seeing evidence that with power comes the occasional stroke of luck.

A gift came in the party switch this week by Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter from the Republicans to the Democrats.

It could give the Democrats unfettered authority. If and when Minnesota Democrat Al Franken overcomes a recount battle and takes his Senate seat, Democrats will have a 60-vote supermajority in the 100-member Senate.

The announced retirement of Supreme Court Justice David Souter has given Obama the opportunity to put his imprint on the highest U.S. court and replace one of the court’s liberals with another liberal voice.

Although he will not be able to change the court’s balance of power from a conservative majority any time soon, he will be able to select a justice likely to remain on the bench long after Obama has left the White House.

How long will his luck last?

With the U.S. economy reeling and millions of Americans without jobs, Obama has his work cut out for him. He has a long list of challenges, and spoke of them at a news conference this week.

“If you could tell me right now that, when I walked into this office that the banks were humming, that autos were selling, and that all you had to worry about was Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, getting healthcare passed, figuring out how to deal with energy independence, deal with Iran, and a pandemic flu, I would take that deal,” Obama said.

Pollster John Zogby said that after his first 100 days, Obama now embarks on another weighty period in which Americans will want to see evidence that his $787 billion economic stimulus approved in February is working.

“I think by late June, they are going to have to start seeing some of these economic indicators stabilizing or at least some orange cones and hard hats out on the roads — something that indicates either a stemming of the tide or some kind of progress,” Zogby said.

Those who keenly watch the poll numbers also point out that while Obama is personally popular, some of the items on his agenda are less so.

“I think he will always stay personally popular,” said Republican strategist Charlie Black, who was a senior adviser on Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign last year. “But when you test the individual policies, a majority will tell you we’re spending too much money.”

“On the policy proposals the jury is out as to how popular they will be,” he said.

The Nanny State exists in Tennessee

Just wanted you to know that socialism and nanny state are alive in Tennessee.

From the Nashville Tennesseean – www.tennesseean.com

NASHVILLE (AP) — State employees are facing a $600 surcharge that goes into effect next year for everyone in the employee health system who smokes or has a smoker for a spouse.

The Tennessean reports state officials hope the surcharge will provide an incentive for employee smokers to quit and save Tennessee an estimated $3,400 a year in lost productivity and smoking-related health claims per worker.

To help smokers quit before the Jan. 1, 2010, deadline, the state will offer discounts on prescriptions and over-the-counter products like nicotine gum and patches starting May 1.

Employees will be also allowed to take part in six-week smoking cessation seminars on state time. The state held its first stop-smoking seminar Monday.

Brian Haile, deputy director for the state’s Division of Benefits Administration, which oversees coverage for some 270,000 adults and children covered by state employee health insurance said “having money on the line can give smokers the push they need to quit.”

“It’s been known to triple the effective quit rate if there’s an economic incentive for doing so,” Haile said.

It’s not yet known how much it will cost the state to help its workers and retirees kick the habit, but Haile estimated it could cost several hundred thousand dollars. The costs will be offset by the smoking surcharge, once the insurance change goes into effect.

Starting in the fall, everyone on the health care plan will be asked to fill out a form, identifying themselves as a smoker or a nonsmoker. Anyone caught lying would face civil and legal penalties for perjury and would have to pay up to $300 in damages to the state.

Jim Tucker, executive director of the Tennessee State Employ-ees Association, said the smoking surcharge has not sat well among some of the workers his group represents. He added, however, most workers agree something has to be done to reduce health-care costs before the state has to impose another double-digit insurance premium hike, as it did a decade ago.

“The health plan (cost) has almost doubled in the last five years,” said Tucker. “It’s been very controversial, just targeting the smokers, when obesity is a much larger health problem for so many people.”

 

 

Let’s Roll – Got Tea?

With the coming formation of more and more symbolic tea parties, and the ire of citizens coming to the forefront, watch for more and more attacks on free speech.  I see Mike’s posts about the Americorps, I see more attacks on conservative radio hosts, and I see more and more blatant violations of the Constitution.  When I feel down about it, I get these letters and I get fired up all over again.  Read this and tell me it won’t start a fire in you!  Thank you Larry!

” I noted today that Senator McCain and numerous other elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind President-Elect Obama.  Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!  I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith, BUT that is it.  I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President!

Jefferson – A Warning

Bill Foster sends me this one…it’s a shame we haven’t paid attention to the founders!

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson


I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Very Interesting Quote

In light of the present financial crisis, it’s  interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

The Times, they are a’changin!

I just got this from my friend Carl…who always sends me articles that ring true with a lot of what I tried and tried to tell folks on the show.  This guy didn’t hear my show, but he was obviously on the same page.  Read this, and then pray for strong Christian, patriots to stand against the storm that’s coming!

I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten – fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learn just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the 700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “we the people,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is medicare and our entire government, our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about)­the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x ten. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more imporant.)

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: change.

Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

And I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully them into submission. And then, he was duly elected to office, a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military- industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media­ – did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and . . . change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

(Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.)

Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.

Don’t forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years­, a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency, ­it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe ­and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.

Breaking News: Largest Military Recall Since 1941 Progress Right Now

I have also heard about this on a couple of alternative radio stations in the last couple of weeks……If it’s true and it may be………what is up?  What does the government know that it isn’t telling us yet?

Largest Military Recall Since 1941 Possibly In Progress Right Now

Right Soup is hearing that a General Mobilization of ALL former military officers is underway. We caution that the talk we are hearing is conflicting, and that no concrete evidence has been uncovered yet. Still, reports from some who would be affected say that letters began going out on November 17th to all Non Commissioned Officers to recall them to service. Letters to Warrant Officers and Sergeants will go out this coming week. Reportedly some retired military have already gotten their letters. Right Soup is actively searching for scans of said letters, and for confirmation of this news.

A General Mobilization is VERY serious, about as serious as it gets. The Posse Comitatus of 1878 , which limits the use of the military for law enforcement is possibly being cast aside, if the rumored mobilization is for domestic enforcement. The Act can be set aside Executive Order of the President. Bottom line is, something big has to be imminent for this to be happening.

All sectors of society would be affected by this recall; there are doctors, lawyers, policemen, accountants, mechanics etc…it would be a huge disruption of society. For this to be happening would mean the “threat” is something which would occur within the next 3 months. A mobilization of this magnitude would be impossible to hide, so there would be a public pretext issued soon.

American Electric Power, one of the nation’s largest electricity providers, has reportedly moved 45-50 housing trailers to it’s Gavin power plant in Ohio. These trailers are equipped with beds and MREs, and reportedly many power facilities are doing the same thing AEP is doing. There is also chatter about some of our ships mobilizing to the Persian Gulf. Could something be happening with Iran? Or could our military be preparing for a domestic problem?

Right Soup is investigating this information right now. We will be reporting back with more on this possibly blockbuster happening, and are actively seeking concrete evidence. We are actively seeking photocopies/scans of recall letters.

We are seeking actual scans/photocopies of the alleged letters being mailed to ex-military involuntarily recalling them to service, and evidence of a General Mobilization of the military. The information we find will be posted here. Here are some things we’ve found from military forums and other threads:

Republic Broadcast Network: 3 days with shows dealing with mobilization: click on the appropriate hour’s MP3 to listen. The 11/17 2nd hour broadcast at around 4:05 states “calling up ALL commissioned and non-commissioned military, not just some but ALL.” Due to a large amount of interest in this matter, and a large number of websites linking to the show, the Pentagon were notified of the broadcast and asked for a complete transcript of the show. The Pentagon then reassured the broadcaster that there was no reason to worry, and that the recall was solely for “hunting down terrorists” or repairing ravaged properties: Nov 19 broadcast (listen to beginning of show and then from 23:30) Partial transcript of first broadcast.

Will He or Won’t He Tell?

Alan Keyes has now joined the list of those who question Obama’s birthplace.  If he indeed is a citizen, why won’t he produce the certificate?  The following article appeared on NBC today:

Former Obama opponent now suing to prove President-elect’s citizenship

NBC Augusta has obtained a copy of that birth certificate.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama’s has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama’s citizenship.

According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.

Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.

The Obama campaign countered similar accusations early in 2008 by posting Obama’s birth certificate online, and saying: “Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.”
