Why was President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
...
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. (Pig in a poke means: an offering or deal that is foolishly accepted without being examined first. A poke means sack.)
They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.
They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.
They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, and not a fan of this country.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way helped all Americans.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never can be -- "a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society." Either the costs go up, or the free society goes away...an historical truth.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in healthcare. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud, if believed to be caused by man. She has also signed on to a Small Firearms Treaty at the U.N.
This is a back door gun control move. If this is approved by the Senate and a 2nd Amendment majority doesn't exist in the Senate now, It will supersede all U.S. Law and the 2nd Amendment. All citizen possession will be eliminated through confiscation. Just Like Great Britain and Australia.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America ...
Ben Stein is a writer, economist, and lawyer. He writes "Ben Stein's Diary," for every issue of The American Spectator.
Note: You must, as an American, FORWARD this, or you will wake up one morning and your freedoms will be GONE...No longer there!

OPEN LETTER TO MITT ROMNEY
Written on Saturday, July 28, 2012 by Chris Gadsden
Dear Future President-Elect Romney,
<http://patriotupdate.com/wp-
writing to voice the concerns of many good Americans today. You have some
monumentally important choices coming up. The first of which is the decision
on your Vice President, followed by further campaign direction, debate
preparation and strategy. Please listen to the American people for time is
running out. I am hoping you learned something from John McCain's abortion
of a presidential run and will instead be a bold candidate who will actually
make a stand. Our country is currently under attack by an anti-American
Chicago thug who slithered into office under the premise of hope and change.
Though he swore to uphold our laws and Constitution, the last three years of
obamanation have been horrific for most of us as our Constitution has been
trampled or ignored. Czars, tax-cheats, union goons, and other extreme
leftists have been appointed to positions of power. Free enterprise and
capitalism have been denigrated and maligned, causing astronomical misery
for the working and unemployed alike. obama has bailed out unions and
supporters while real workers suffer. We now have fewer individuals entering
the workforce than those beginning to suckle on the teat of government
welfare and disability programs. Our religion is under pressure from the
White House and far-left cronies that spit on the Christian foundations
established by the Founders. Our national sovereignty is eroded by our
supposed Commander-in-Chief as he has reduced our weapon stockpiles
drastically, all the while bowing (literally and figuratively) to leaders of
foreign lands. This man whom you hope to replace (and better if the American
dream is to survive) may as well have put a bullet in Border Patrol Brian
Terry himself as he now covers up his administration's crimes. Related to
this, our nation's boarders are nothing but lines on a map as border guard
numbers are reduced and illegal aliens are allowed to invade our cities.
These illegals even include multiple relatives of obama himself. Your
opponent was raised by Communists and has no understanding of the American
Dream, our nation's exceptional history or even basic economics.
Indoctrinated into the teachings of Saul Alinski, he feels we have grown too
big and must be cut down to size. At every step, he undercuts our
foundations in order to destroy our country and rebuild as a socialist
utopia. Obamacare was just the beginning. Our great land has an
exponentially growing debt, ballooning more under this President than under
the rest combined and it is an intentional effort to overburden the system
based on the radical plans of the 1960s (read about the intentions of the
founders of ACORN). While this man pushes progressivism, socialized
medicine, abortions, and spreads our wealth, we cry out for leadership; not
a smile and a handshake. You must be bold, Mr. Romney.
<http://patriotupdate.com/wp-
unable to run on his own record (at least publically....assuredly he brags
about his accomplishments behind closed doors), simply assails you and other
wealthy Americans. Mr. Romney, you must STAND UP and be proud of your
accomplishments. Though you would not believe it by listening to the
left-leaning media, most Americans aspire to be successful and wealthy. The
top earners pay the most taxes and hire the rest of us. We do not hate those
of your ilk. We despise the jealous Occupy zombies while they whine, collect
their 99 weeks of unemployment and pray for the downfall of our way of life.
You must champion us, capitalism, business and all that our country has done
to lead the world from darkness to bounty and light in the last 200+ years.
We, as free Americans with the Conservative direction of our Founding
Fathers, drove that. Liberal methods of governing have failed in every
single burgh, city, town, state and country in which they have been
attempted. State this fact. Champion us but do not coddle us or favor one
over another. Individuals fail. Businesses fail. None are too big. You must
be our standard bearer, for another four years of indoctrination in
government dependency may be too much to overcome. We all want to be
successful and wealthy. Most of us work to achieve success while the
perverse underbelly of society simply wishes to sponge and mooch and live in
jealously. Make this stop, Mr. Romney.
<http://patriotupdate.com/wp-
also push back against the unions perverting our economy. While their groups
held some worth many years ago, they are now nothing more than blackmail
organizations that provide a slush fund for Democrat causes. You must crush
them and return control of industry to the people that DID, Mr. President,
BUILD THEIR BUSINESS THEMSELVES. The Left complains about corporations
donating money to elections while their unions rape workers by forcing them
to pay dues that are then funneled to left-leaning causes. Follow the path
mapped by Governor Scott Walker and stop these villains, Mr. Romney.
You are a business man and must act as, in addition to Commander-in-Chief,
CFO of America. You must not squander the opportunity, as Bush did, to
promote positive change in Washington. Eliminate the Departments of Energy
and Education. They are useless examples of a bloated bureaucracy and every
second they steal our tax dollars to have talentless employees shuffle
papers. They have failed in their mission and must be eliminated. Also, you
must streamline the tax code and make it far simpler to actually conduct
business. Reduce the corporate tax rate to 10% or less and all of those jobs
that American companies moved overseas will return, along with billions in
foreign investment. If you make these bold but business-friendly changes,
industry will flock to our shores as the socialists running other lands
squeeze them out. As Reagan always understood, government inhibits success
so eliminate as much as possible and we can avert this coming disaster!
You must also secure our borders and make those from foreign lands
assimilate, not have the government kowtow to every whim and custom these
people bring with them. They must come here legally, speak English, pay
taxes, participate in American society or go home. All good Americans know
this and are crying out for a leader with the testicular fortitude to say
it. We do NOT want to "Press 1" for English any longer. Do not allow people
to come here, demand (Sharia) laws of their old lands, and segregate
themselves into little groups. Mr. Romney, as the immigrants from our first
150 years knew, they must become Americans, not simply come and live in
America.
On a more pressing issue, your Vice Presidential pick is coming up and is
vastly important. This is not the time to partner with a boring Pawlenty or
Portman and certainly a Bush-era Condi Rice (pro-abortion and not that great
in the international realm frankly) pick would be terrible. Excite the base
and all Americans with a choice the ilk of Rubio, Ryan, Jindal or DeMint. If
you are playing the "pick a VP from a must-win state", at least make it
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia. Once the VP pick and convention are
behind you, you could restoke the fires by announcing your cabinet choices.
This would be another brilliant move to rouse the base. The names positively
mentioned above, if not Vice President, could fill other roles.
Additionally, Gingrich, Santorum and Perry could clean up other festering
areas of government. John Bolton could either be Secretary of State or
return to the U.N. for our inherent American liberties are under constant
attack by those pushing for international government. The most staggering,
brilliant, ironic, fantastic move could then be announcing Ron Paul as head
of the Federal Reserve. You would immediately get the support of many
Libertarians and independents while striking fear into the heart of the
corrupt Fed system. Please make a stand and do not play politics. Americans
are tired of corrupt cabinet officials, czars (you MUST eliminate all of
those on Day One) and perversions of government. Please hear the call of the
people.
<http://patriotupdate.com/wp-
campaign and debates unfold, I must once again implore you to be BOLD, Mr.
Romney. Handling President obama with kid-gloves as you have thus far is not
the way. Do not muckrake but TELL THE TRUTH. He was raised by radicals and
Communists, schooled overseas, found religion in a racist church and has
recently been proven to have joined the Communist Party in Chicago in
earlier days. He refuses to disclose any information about his formative
years and those details in his books have proven to be lies. He taught
socialism as a lecturer, worked for and was a staunch supporter of the
radical ACORN organization, and even fought to have babies that survived
abortions be treated as trash and die. For his limited time in public
service, he was independently determined to be the most liberal during his
(brief) time in the U.S. Senate. Have the nerve to say these truths. Did you
not learn from the gutless political methodology of Senator John McCain four
years ago? While I will always respect his service to our country, it
appears McCain lost his spine in the war. Politicians like him, Lindsey
Graham and others that bend over backwards to not offend and get along are
useless when the stakes are this high. A vast number of Americans, gaining
news from Facebook or shows on Comedy Central, are not engaged in the
political process and have been brainwashed into believing obama is a nice
guy, doing a good job, supporting American principles, wants the country to
succeed and has a transparent presidency. Only those of us that pay
attention know the truth. You, Mr. Romney, have to spread the word. You have
to be our voice. You have to come to the Right. Our Country, the vision of
the Founders, the very well-being of the entire world, rests on your
shoulders. If you fail, you fail us all. This is one of the most important
U.S. elections in our history and will decide if we are still the shining
city on a hill or a socialist dung pile like most of Europe.
Until now, too many of us have been content to stay on the sideline but it
has become obvious that we will not survive as a great nation under the
crushing heel of this vile individual another four years. In the hope for
another Ronald Reagan, many of us have been slow in supporting you due to
imagined and legitimate concerns. Your liberal roots sometimes show but let
this serve as a warning. You may as well join us on the Right as a
revolution is afoot. If you cling to some of your leftist views of the past
and do not come willingly, we will drag you to our side. It is the only
thing that will save the Union. Questions surrounding your religion have to
be put behind us all for the good of our country and I, for one, have moved
on. When faced with the choice between a Mormon with many of our similarly
held principles and a man that sat in a vile, racist "church" for over 20
years listening to black separatist dogma and who feels the Muslim call to
prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds on Earth, the decision is easy.
Regardless of our personal religious beliefs, there is no contest and we
must stand with you. If you will be the bold leader we need, we pledge to
you our support and trust. We are electing a man to lead us on the path of
economic recovery, reestablish our safe borders and promote American
exceptionalism. You are now our standard-bearer and the last hope of a
battered populace. Stand, Mr. Romney. Be bold.
Sincerely,
Chris Gadsden and Good Americans Everywhere

BLAME IT ON BUSH
The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was
actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of
Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th
Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the
first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy
that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and
the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House
Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate
Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part
of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping
5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in
2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush..
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and
the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat
Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &
2009 as well as 2010 &2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused
them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough
on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush
entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running
until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a
massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that
very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he
signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the
last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After
that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted
for starting Jan. 2, 2007 and then I voted to expand that deficit
four-fold since January 22, 2009.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

WALL STREET JOURNAL SIZES UP OBAMA

A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America.

very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before
the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he
was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If,
indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his
mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist
with a small 'c'" was the real author.

His political skills consisted of rarely voting
on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a
legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state
because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable
political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid
for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence
or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he
first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he
selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that
nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him
before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He
took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state
with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where
agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he
had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real
substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having
the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the
presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy.

And then he had the great good fortune of having
the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the
presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy.
He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very
distant state of Alaska. It was a ticket that was reminiscent of
1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to
defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with
him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris
Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed
against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, 3 full years into his presidency, all of
those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him
unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a
talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly
became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of
statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to
"wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the
Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any
student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It
knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain.
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on
his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the
slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with
really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political
experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat
Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never
about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned
at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme
leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment
about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard
professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to
conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu
Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since
compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated
extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part
of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our
detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were
known to have returned to the battlefield against America. He could
even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11
a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an
obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having
anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack
on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following
day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any
problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away
the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack
Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people
who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce
a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny
access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in
our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a
make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what
do you do when the dummy is President of the United States.
We the people are coming!.
