There are many and assundry factors that have come together to cause the economic recession we are experiencing today. Deficit spending, excessive dependence on credit, governmental irresponsibility, and excessive taxation are typical examples. But there is one underlying, overpowering cause of the collapse of our economy and that is the ever increasing cost and decreasing supply of energy. Energy is essential to every aspect of life in America and is the one dominating factor in the endeavor to raise the standard of living for undeveloped regions of the world. The rise in standard of life and decrease in mortality rate of all humankind is directly proportional to the consumption of energy.

I am not joking and I did not mean that metaphorically. If any military combat officer would just look at the result of what Obama and Pelosi have done already, it becomes obvious.

His strategy is to make gas and diesel hard to find and expensive. Lower the cash available to the common citizen. Make it impossible to buy fuel and ammo even if you could find it. Lower American’s personal wealth and give it to those living in grass huts overseas. Equality per Obama.

Pelosi has virtually destroyed domestic oil production requiring us to import 70% of our fuel. There is probably less than five days supply of fuel in the country right now

Cash will be in even shorter supply when the cap and trade bill takes effect as soon as April. Add to that massive tax increases to pay for the $80,000 for your share of the spending bills, the loss of savings and investments and you are near broke all the time. Your bill for the spending will increase by 100% by year’s end.

Ammunition is almost non-existant and will sky rocket in cost very soon. An Ammunition Accountability Act will, supposedly, be ready in early April that will add a surcharge from $2.00 to $5.00 PER ROUND, depending on caliber. .22 cal will be $2.00 per round for a total of approx. $120.00 for a box of fifty. 30 caliber and above (303, 30-06, .38, .44, .45) will be $5.00 surcharge per round for a total of approx. $280.00 for a box of fifty.

Obama is stripping the people of their ability to pursue happiness or him.

The physicist who was science advisor to both Bushes and Clinton spoke at the Global Convention on Climate Change last week and said, "Every $10 million spent by governments on climate change, bio-fuel production, and wind or solar programs programs means one human dies from starvation. Since the end of DDT sales near 30 years ago between 30 and 35 million people, mostly children, have died from malaria.

If only one half of all climate change bills presently before all the world governments were to be approved, the standard of living for the average earthling would decline by over 50%. These liberal environmentalists, climate change alarmists, radical socialist tyrants, and the UN will have all the wealth and the power."

The entire population of the world, including the US, would be almost equal in wealth.

It is ALL coming to a tent city near you soon !! Courtesy of liberals around the world and our own Barack Ovomit.

Obama learned early in his life that dedication is dependant on and, in fact, semi-synonomous with the idea of dependability. If dedication is total and sincere, dependability will become a self imposed, defining character trait. Devotion and dedication demand a dependable approach. That is not to say the approach is set in stone or written in law, but it does define a policy of, once defined, being effectively predictable of future decisions and procedures. Dedication is the result of setting a goal that is inspired and chosen due to an inherent desire and self confident attitude. Dependability is a tactic chosen due to dedication to the goal and the realization that any sacrifice is worth the result.

We conservatives will do ourselves a big service to believe my claims regarding Obama’s character. To do so enables a truer, more easily accepted knowledge of everything we know and will ever learn about him. In fact, this insight into his motivational resources enables his critics with an almost supernatural ability to predict, with near perfection, his future choices and decisions, and his public speaking topics.

You might say, "Glenn, you still sound like an Obama convert". And I would say that I would choose first to die. You might be confused because we have all come to know Obama as a talented liar, a consistant policy jumper, and being undeserving, if not incapable, of being credited with traits of dependability or dedication, these usually being thought of as signs of an ethical and selfless character.

But, consider the possibility that his goals and motivations to those ends are not what he professes. Let’s assume, for the purpose of this essay, that his goal is not the office of president, but rather the attainment of worldwide authority and power, if not supreme emperor of the universe (not at all silly when you consider his ego). The motivations for that goal self evident. When we rethink our vision of Obama in that vein, we are able to perceive the dedication he has to that goal. And if we are able to convince ourselves that he is dedicated to an unspoken agenda of influnce on a global scale via a socialist system, we can then have faith and be confident in his dependability to act in the ways that have been successful and to persist in his methods and practices.

Obama has, from the beginning of his career in politics, adopted a very well defined, deeply engrained system and set of rules that he has dutifully studied and faithfully set to memory to the point of becoming second nature. He has chosen the radical road to socialism as created and taught by Saul Alinsky, the father of community organization as a profession. He has followed, with a religious devotion, the insistance by Alinsky that success is no less than the power over all who will believe your lies, and that that power is the only worthwhile pursuit for the elitist who believes himself to be a messiah.

Obama is dedicated and dependable, and now that we know that, he is also more vulnerable. Let’s decide to exploit, in every possible way, that chink in his majesty’s armor. After all, we are conservatives and are, therefore, always right. Well, almost always.

His eloquent orations and polished mannerisms seemed to throw a fog over his suspected character flaws passed over as non-existant by the majority of voters and the news media. His ability to falsely assure those spoiled masses that he had their particular interests at heart shielded them from his admitted inward disgust for an America seen as having fallen short of its potential. With phraseology such as "economic justice" and "social equality" his choice of confrontation and deceptive activism was believed to be a patriotic and honest hard look at what America had become and as a path to be followed to the full realization of his vision for improvement.

For his ability to persuade and beguile the weak in thought, for his persistence in applying the lessons learned from Marx and Alinsky to the modern election campaign, for his inherent honoring of self and demands of respect and fair play by his opponent, and for his diplomatic prowess in enlisting the formidable persuasiveness of the broadcasting industry to a belief in his cause, we find it our responsibility to offer Mr. Obama a hearty slap on the back and a whispered, under the breath utterance of a sincere and profane expression of our feeling for him.

Yes, he’s the one. The one who saw, the who knew, and the one who acted in a fashion designed to seize the growing tide of dissention and then rub it raw.

Let’s be perfectly candid when defining and quantifying his life, his career, and the campaign that has brought us to this point in history.

With what could legally be considered a radically subversive life totally committed to the peaceful overthrow of the US government, Obama has lied about the truth and prideful confessions of his own autobiography to the apparent satisfaction of Americans who once thought of themselves as patriotic and freedom loving Americans. With proven ties and alliances to such radicals and criminals as Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Louis Farakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and various political machine thugs of Chicago, Obama sailed by any serious scrutiny from all but his most dedicated opponents, and those were as dust in the wind. With a confession of having used hard drugs regularly in college and seeking out the most controversial organizations on campus to insure that he was not seen as a sell out, the adoring masses gathered at his feet and swooned. There was no possibility of wrong doing in their dazed perception of "The One We Have Been Waiting For".

Barack Obama was uniquely qualified to lead the spineless of America from their comfortable life of pursuing happiness into the tyranny and cruelty of an imposed socialist oligarchy, all the while being praised and adored by those he would lead to ruin. Yes indeed, Mr. Obama has to be given his just rewards for his intellect, for his ability to deceive, for his cunning allure, for his stealthy lethality. He has, in less than 24 months, accomplished what the Soviet Union, in all its might and splendor, failed to acieve in fifty years of devious effort. He has, by himself, brainwashed the mentally vulnerable in American society and the leaders of a major political party to allow him to fundamentally rebuild the American government, economy, and mindset from one of Constitutional rule by law and the ideal of individual liberty, to the tried and failed, oppressive criminalities of narcissistic sociopathy espoused by some of the most brutal and murderous maniacs in human history.

Following in the boot prints of the National Socialist Party of Germany (NAZIS) and the original creator of modern fascism, (Mussolini) Obama is set to impose, with the help of like minded Democratic congressmaen, a destructive and demoralizing set of policies that are fully capable of rendering the sole super power on Earth as weak and vulnerable as any third world anarchy. And this to the delight and cheers of those who were once considered to be among the most blessed and envied people on the planet.

Congratulations are not appropriate. Any claim of admiration or respect is not to be found here. What is offered here to Mr. Obama is the promise of no quarter for him and his cronies from those of us who, with the full blessing and admonition of the supreme law of the land, will dog his life incessantly as long as he pursues his evil vision for our nation. We offer him only our most zealous opposition, violently if required, to his twisted and selfish plans. We have nothing but disdain and contempt for his actions and their vomitous inspirations.

To those Americans who have proven weak of spirit and mind in their lemming like sleep walk to Obama’s beckon call, we offer our most heartfelt sympathy at being fooled by the most foolish of all in that you chose such as they promised above the God inspired and humanly expensive paradise of liberty and opportunity of America. We understand such as you but deny any likeness in ourselves, having escaped and thrown off all dealings with such as you centuries past. We wash our hands of your weak ways and offer no consideration of forgivness for any future change of heart. You have what you begged him to give you, and we can no longer tolerate such a luke warm allegiance.

The battlefield has been cleared of non-combatant waste, and it is our opportunity, no, our purpose to plan and execute a withering counter strike of dedication and confidence in the faith and loyalty of the majority of Americans in their inheritance of the promise of the Constitution We, the Conservative Patriots of America, stand together in the righteous pursuit of American values, and the annihilation of all enemies and traitors from the soil and remembrance of America. So help us God.

Barack Obama’s conversation with Joe the plumber earlier this week has stirred the minds of many Americans, and not in a way helpful to Obama. There have been signs at subsequent McCain rallies saying, "Lucy the Inspector – Joe the Bricklayer" or "Why Joe’s money and not Obama’s". But it didn’t have to go that way. No, if Obama was truly an economic wizard, or, say, just had a working knowledge of a W-2 form, he could have answered Joe the plumber in a completely different and more accurate way that would not have made Obama appears as the socialist he is.

Joe stated that he wanted to buy a company doing about $250,000 to $280,000 a year, and he believed that, under Obama’s policy he would have his taxes raised because he was over $250,000. Obama answered that yes, he would be subject to higher taxes but only as high as under Clinton. He also told Joe that as a small business he would get a credit for half of the cost of healthcare for his employees. But he then stated to Joe that his tax increase was not a penalty for success, and suggested that Joe think about what could have been if Obama was president ten years ago. He then, in a moment of perceived brilliance, told Joe that he would get a tax break if Joe grew his business from $250,000 a year to $500,000 a year because Obama was going to abolish the capital gains tax and, therefore, he wouldn’t have to pay tax on the growth.

Where to begin pointing out Obama’s ignorance on the economy and present tax code? .

First, a company doing $250,000 of business a year does not have that much profit. Businesses naturally get to exclude the money they pay in wages, insurance of all types, vehicle purchases and their upkeep, their rent or mortgage on their property, building maintenance, loss of value for buildings and other capital properties, legal fees, uniforms, and all other business costs. These exemptions would most definitely lower the taxable net income, or profit, and take Joe’s company right out of the increase bracket. That would have been an answer Joe would have liked, it would have made Obama appear knowledgeable, and Americans everywhere might have sighed a bit in relief. At least those whose net income is lower than the Obama baseline of $250,000.

Second, Obama ended up by telling Joe about the capital gains tax being eliminated and Joe wouldn’t be taxed if he grew his company over the $250,000 limit. Again, Obama didn’t know, or had forgotten the fact that the growth he was talking about was, again, total worth of all business, or gross income. Growing from $250,000 to $500,000 is not a capital gain but a growth in total proceeds and, if there were enough exemptions paid out to drop that amount to less than $250,000 there would be no tax increase. But, if there were insufficient exemptions and Joe’s company’s net income was above the baseline, then the excess would be taxable. He recommended to Joe that he think about the past and what could have been, if only.....

It is conceivable that with such a growth in business Joe would have needed a bigger building, more vehicles, a larger post-process-inhibitor (?) or other expensive long term equipment. These costs for the more expensive, longlife items that hold their value over decades are capital expenditures. The purchase of these and the growth in businees they allow are all part of growth, bur only the capital assets owned by the company are subject to capital gains tax and only that amount would made non-taxable by Obama.

Obama showed his true self in that little talk with Joe. He said that Joe would have to pay a little more so that some other Joe the unemployed could have the chance Joe had. As if to say that Joe had an undue advantage by being a hard working, visionary plumber who knew how to save and manage a budget. You could almost smell the angst of Joe when Obama told him to just think of it as if he was doing a special favor for the little guy and to be happy it is finally happening, and blame the republicans and greedy whomevers that it didn’t happen ten years ago.

Folks, Obama is wrong in almost everything he says needs changing. We do need to change America’s political workings, but that change would be AWAY from leftist socialistic policies of Obama and those already in place and TOWARD the re-implementation of Constitutional restraint on governmental power, responsibility, and funding. The change we need is AWAY from the failed economic policies of the past two decades, implemented largely by Democrats in congress and in the Whitehouse, and back TOWARD the successful economic policy of a minimally regulated, open market and the cause/effect of bad business equals failure and good business equals success. No other form of economy has ever produced the fantastic and incalculable wealth of every kind in history such as the world feeding, space exploring, atom splitting, superior military, and overall giant of production that the USA has been and still is. DeToqueville stated that it is trite to say a man or person "made" this amount of money per day, or "made" a wage less than he deserved, because, for the most part, those people actually produced nothing of tangible value. He said, though, that the term "making money" was the ideal phrase to describe the economy and results of the hard working people of America because from America flowed an abundance of all things needed for mankind to live a leisurely but productive life whwerever in the world he lived. Admiral Yamamoto, the commander of theJapanese Pearl Harbor attack force and a graduate of Harvard (I think it was Harvard) also saw the reality of the American people and the economic system they worked in and stated, in regard to the effect of their attack on Dec. 7, "I am convinced we have done what we planned. But I am also fearful that what we have really accomplished is the waking of a sleeping giant".

Obama wants to, narcissistically impose his own idea of greatness. He believes we could do much more for the world if we were forced to do so. I believe that his plan will have the opposite effect he desires on America and the world, and thereby, render the USA incapable of the glorious feats that have made it the greatest and most generous nation in history, bar none.

NOBAMA !!

• No valid birth certificate has been provided by Obama.
• Obama traveled abroad at age twenty with an Indonesian passport which requires Indonesian citizenship. Dual citizenship is not legal in the US.
• A federal law suit citing over 20 allegations is pending seeking his disqualification from becoming president.

Obama claims he is a Christian and has never been a Muslim.

• In Audacity of Hope Obama states that he doesn’t really hold any profound religious belief but that he joined the church for street creds.
• Obama’s environment from birth to his move to Hawaii at age ten WAS Muslim. His instruction, family life, allegiance, and pride was in and of being Muslim. He once stated that the Islamic evening call to prayer was the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard and if necessary he would side with the Muslims.
• Obama has never been baptized as a Christian. To do so would brand him as an apostate in the world of Islam.
• Obama does not believe in the Christian doctrine of Jesus as the only means for salvation, as taught in the Bible. He has professed the belief that there are many avenues for achieving spiritual atonement. Even his church of two decades does not teach biblical Christanity.

Obama claims to love America and to be proud of being an American

• Obama has studied and believes in the teachings and beliefs of F. M. Davis, Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farakhan, and Vladimir Lenin.
• Obama refuses to pay tribute to the American flag or the National Anthem. He calls a flag lapel pin "that pin".
• Obama’s typical public address is a few minutes of thanks and greetings followed by a laundry list of what is wrong with America, how it treats its people badly, and how he, alone, can bring about the change needed and establish economic justice for all. This is classic Alinkyism "rubbing raw their feeling of dissent".
• Obama has toured the world apologizing for the evil America has wrought on the world and promising to make America a global citizen. More Alinskyisms.
• Obama has changed his politics as needed to maintain his poll ratings. This is in strict adherence to the Alinsky tactic of obtaining power in any way possible, regardless of the means. The end justifies whatever is necessary because without power you can do nothing to bring about socialism, Alinsky’s ultimate goal.
• His own campaign boldly states that de-regulation of industry and a capitalistic market are failed, antiquated policies. Obama believes that major, sweeping reform of American society, including the elimination of the middle class through redistribution of wealth (economic justice) is what America needs, and that is the change he believes in and is working for.

To understand who and what Obama is and what his vision for America entails one need only list his known associates, his self proclaimed influences, his reversals of policies during the campaign, his public anti-American behavior, his wife’s public statements and her reversals of demeanor, his use of euphamisms straight from Alinsky’s writings, and his promises made and then broken to not run for president and be the best senator he can for Illinois.

Barack Obama is a dangerous, anti-American socialist who means to dismantle American society as we know it and reform it into a Marxist dictatorship. He will do anything, say anything, and change colors like a chameleon to get the power necessary to do so. To him, the end justifies the means. If you add all this up, Obama’s words and actions become logical and revealing. He wants to bring America down. That is the change we should ALL believe he believes in.

Tonight at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle "my belle" Obama proved to the world she is capable and, actually, very talented at reading script and doing so with such convincing effect. A convincing and talented performer at least and a potential Oscar nominee, if not an outright winner.

In all reality, is there anyone who believes that she was sincere in all of what she said? Oh, she was sincere about her children and husband. But it was three fourths of the way into her speech before she finally mentioned America. She said she loved America, but lost no time making it clear that America was not living up to its potential, and that Barack was determined to change America and make it what it should be. If it is, as she claims to believe, the greatest nation on Earth, and offers, as she has said, the greatest opportunities for achieveing your dreams, why oh why does she believe that it is in such dire need for change? She feels that America needs to be what it has never succeeded in being. Never has America been what it could have been? America has never lived up to its promise? Is there anyone who believes America is as big a failure as Michelle does?

There is no guessing needed, no doubt about how the Obamas believe America should be changed. Universal healthcare whether you want it or not, equal prosperity for all whether they earn it or not, freedom from want and need, and a world class education for all. Is there anyone who believes those benefits are the responsibility of the government or the taxpayers?

Increasing the capital gains tax, not for revenue, but for fairness. Increasing taxation of the evil, rich capitalists who oppress the working class and cheat them out of a fair wage to line their own pockets. Is there anyone who does not know who signs their paycheck?

Obama considered it a lack of experience, a sign of not being fit to be president when McCain said he had no plan for solving the current mortgage scandal. Barack laughed and thought it a severe gaffe on McCain’s part. Is there anyone who feels McCain, or any president, should plan on fixing the mortgage fiasco?

The view of America is exactly opposite when seen from Obama’s view as it is when seen through the simplicity and perfection of the Constitution and the eyes of We, the People, the majority of Americans. Is there anyone who believes we need to change America into what Obama wants?

I thought not.

I have just completed reading ObamaNation by Jerome R. Corsi. The book very effectively ties together statements made by Barack Obama both in person via interviews and speeches, and in his autobiography Dreams From My Father, and statements by former political associates, reporters, relatives, supporters, campaign workers, and opponents. Mr. Corsi takes great care to inform readers that all possible methods were used to validate the accuracy of all statements but that some, such as made by relatives or other non-journalist sources, can not be validated by any means but that the statements included in the book were quoted exactly word for word and the proper context given. I can say that throughout the book the difference between statements verifiable for accuracy and statements made "off the record" was always made clear and opinions and suppositions were presented as just that. I saw no instance of exageration, misrepresentation, or wanting attack on Obama’s character but, to the contrary, every effort was made to take Obama at his word, to give him the benefit of reasonable doubt, and to assume his actions and statements had the most honorable of motives.

After reading this book I no longer see Barack Obama as an empty suit who is so inexperienced in politics he lacks any real position on critical issues or the ability to express them. What I do see in Obama is a coldly calculating, far left Karl Marx socialist devoted to changing the USA into a socialist nation where individuals have no importance other than their inclusion in the all powerful state, which he plans to be a part of. The reasons to conclude such about Obama are many and the disturbing facts that have come out about his associations and his own statements are just the tip of the iceberg where his socialist ideology is concerned. Many have reasoned that Barack has associated with the likes of William Ayres, Tony Rezko, Jerry Kessler, Jeremiah Wright, and Saul Alinsky, not, as he says, by accident or coincedence, but because Obama believed in their politics. Many have also deduced that Obama is a socialist by what Barack himself has said in his campaign speeches and has espoused as his platform. This book, ObamaNation, affirms this assessment of Obama’s political agenda in a very well thought out gathering and presenting of known facts and statements by his associates and interviewers.

The single most important aspect of Obama’s political beliefs is the influence of Saul Alinsky, a self-proclaimed Marxist and 60s anti-establishment radical. His claim to fame is as the father of community organizing, a method of attaining considerable power in the form of supportive voter groups. The support of these voters was not to be gained by, as Alinsky put it, "with assistance to the poor or even by organizing the poor to demand assistance," but by "obtaining power at all costs including sacrificing your own morals to lie, cheat, and steal, knowing that with power comes the ability to change what is real, but a deficiency of power can achieve nothing". Alinsky urged his followers to attend public meetings and rallies and listen to what was being proposed, not for the intent of ever working for the changes the people believed necessary, but for the collection of issues solely for the purpose of using these issues as talking points in organizing campaigns to unite the people behind a common cause, a cause which could be forgotten as soon as the targeted candidate had been elected. Eventually, Alinsky’s radical, dishonest approach to political organizing found a welcoming, well organized group willing to accept his teachings in the Democratic Party. For near 40 years the Republican and conservative agenda have been hammered by the left through the successful use of Alinsky’s tactics. Barack Obama is only the most recent Democrat to put them to use, but he is, by far, the most un-American, socialist individual to be a candidate for the presidency.

Obama’s use of the word "change" is right out of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, and was defined by Alinsky as redistribution of wealth and the demotion of individuals to a component of the state. Alinsky believed, "The single most formiddable obstruction to individual rights is the individual." Barack Obama took Alinsky’s teachings to heart in his organizing work, and put them to effective use in his campaigns for state and federal offices. He is still utilizing these immoral, un-American tactics in his present campaign for president. His method of addressing negative aspects of his background which are made public have become infamous. First he denies any knowledge of the situation, then, when it is shown he did have knowledge, he claims that it came as a surprise and he disavows any belief in the offending matter. When his support of and adherance to the principals in question is shown, he rebukes the offending parties as being extreme and un-American, and tosses their support and long term association aside as if surprised by the nature of their offense. He has, during his campaign, denounced and disaccoiated himself from almost every person who has supported his political career to this point, all for political expediency.

It has become very clear, after reading the logic of Jerome Corsi, that Barack Obama is someone whom the people have always feared would rise up in American politics, the one who would bring disaster and ruin upon America, her people, and the way of life enjoyed by a free, law abiding nation. Read the book ObamaNation and decide for yourself if Obama loves America or if he wants to tear it down and build a nation of zombies instead. There can be no question when all the evidence is intelligently considered.
