Storm Troopers?
I just learned that Obama has proposed a "National Security Force" to combat terrorism. A domestic para military force, if you will, a national police force. Equally equipped and equally funded to the military. Isn't that what Hitler's SS was? Here, in America? Could be if this Marxist is elected. What a great way to crush dissent. Naaaaaaaaaaaw, it couldn't happen here! Neither could the election of a Marxist to the White House.

New Leaders
A couple of comments have been to the effect that the American People will not let America fail. That new leadership will step in and save her. Sounds nice, Governors Palin and Jindal are certainly bright lights on the horizon. Problem is, with a Marxist in the White House and his party controlling both houses of Congress with super majorities, and the ability to load the courts with Marxists, there is no way the American people would be able to regain control of their government. The Marxists will not allow it. They would be able to crush all dissent with the fairness doctrine, control of the internet, and threats of license revocation for any broadcast company that dared to question their motives. Laws could be passed that brand any disagreement with the powers that be as divisive or hate speech. With control of the courts, they will be able to get away with it. The bottom line is the Bill or Rights will be null and void. Potential leaders like Palin and Jindal will be destroyed by whatever means required.
Democrats like John Dean are already talking about a position of permanent majority for the Democrat Party. Translation: One party rule from now on. And where there is one party rule, there is no way any opposition can be mounted. New leaders can not rise to the top.
In short, if the American People vote next Tuesday to surrender their authority over the government, and that is just exactly what the election of Obama will mean, they will never be able to regain that authority.

New Masters
The wise, divinely inspired men that framed our Constitution gave us a new concept of government. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people. A government where the people have the supreme power and are the masters of their government. A government that rules at the consent of the people. One week from today, it appears that the American people will give their consent to change to a government that is the master of the people. A government that will control the masses, not be controlled by the masses. America has been headed this direction for some time now. This coming election may very well be the final nail in the coffin. Mark November 4, 2008 as the day America committed suicide. My view is that if the people of this nation are so cavalier about their liberty as to vote it away for a master/subject type of country, they do not deserve the liberty they surrender.

Come on now!
I am sure some who read these blogs of mine say, "Oh, come on now! You are over reacting. It can't be as bad as you think. You are too pessimistic!"
I certainly hope so. I would like nothing better than to be proven wrong. However, I am an observer of history. For most of my life I have wondered and marveled that the people of Germany, Italy, Russia, Cuba, and other countries could be so misguided as to allow the kind of despots such as Hitler take control of their nations, and literally destroy them.
So I have read and studied everything I could get my hands on trying to see where the people of those countries failed to recognize where these smooth talking snake oil salesmen were taking them. I am sorry to say, I see the same signs and blindness to the obvious here in America at this time in our history. Most people do not see this, mostly because like the people of Europe in the 1930s, they did not want to see what was happening. The mentality then as now was bury your head in the sand and pretend it is all going to be OK.

Character Assaination
It is startling how the radical left in this country will stoop to anything to discredit and destroy anyone that might be opposed to what the left stands for. Contrary to the left's claim to be the bastion of compasion and caring, anyone that disagrees with their agenda is marked for destruction, even members of their own party. Look at the hatchet job they did on Joe Lieberman, their 2000 Vice President nominee. Just because the Senator dared to stand for something the radical left opposess, they destroyed him in his state's Democrat Primary election in 2006. Lieberman had to run as an independent. Never mind that his voting record is about 98% left wing, he would not accept American surrender in Iraq, so he had to be destroyed. Although I do not support Lieberman on much of anything, I am glad he was able to win re-election in spite of his party's efforts.
Now we are witnessing the all out attempt to destroy Sarah Palin and a fellow referred to as "Joe The Plumber". It is amazing the lengths the left goes to to in their effort to destroy both of them. It is amazing how the left throws everything they can think of against the wall, hoping something sticks. One could write a book on just the attacks on Palin. They park TV trucks and reporters on the street in front of Joe's house. But not one reporter or truck is in front of William Ayer's house. This should be enough for any real American to say enough is enough!
Has anyone even thought about what the radical left will do with Obama in the White House? Up to now it has been mostly from the media, which in truth is an appendage to the Obama campaign. And they have been brutal!! With the full force of the government behind them, anyone with the least opposition to the left's agenda will be marked for destruction beyond anything we have seen to this point. Get ready, America. Freedom of expression will soon be what Obama and company decide is acceptable.

Republicans and Democrats
I first registered as a Democrat at the time of JFK. Somewhere during the LBJ administration, however, I noticed something. I discovered that I did not share the same view of liberty that party did. I noticed the Democrats stood for big powerful government, high taxes, and worse of all, gun control. That is the red flag that alienated me. It was not so much about guns as it was about the sanctity of the Constitution itself. Where in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, or the Federalist Papers was anything said about one part of the above documents being more or less important than others? Second Amendment detractors would say things like "The Constitution is a living , breathing, evolving document that is subject to change with the times, and the times dictate doing away with private ownership of firearms." Excuse me? Where does it say that in the Constitution?
It does not say any such thing. Furthermore, if that were indeed the case, why was a stringent method of amending the Constitution spelled out if it were supposed to evolve? Amendments have to originate in Congress, or by Constitutional Convention (Which is how the Constitution and Bill of Rights originated) and then must be ratified by the legislatures of two thirds of the individual states.
For the most part these anti gun proposals were and are sponsored by Democrats. And some Republicans. Mostly Democrats, however. I use this issue as a litmus test of the true mindset of any politician concerning his or her dedication to the Constitution they all take an oath to uphold. Obviously, far too many, mostly Democrats, take that oath with the fingers of their left hand crossed behind their back.
The Democratic Party used to be the party of the average citizen. However, somewhere along the line over a period of time the radical left took control of the Democrat party, especially at the national level. It is now the party of big government socialism. During this same time period, the radical left also took control of most of the media and nearly all of academia. The government grew bigger and more uncontrolable. More and more regulations and taxes that stiffle free enterprise and individual liberty. Has anyone stopped to think why the left wants this omnipotent government we now have?
It is really pretty simple. The bigger government it, the less power the people have as individuals. The less power they have, the more dependent on government the people become. The more dependent the people become, the more power and job security the politicians have. Same with taxes. The more money the politicians take from you, the less power you have and the more dependent on government you become. Also, there is more money for politicians to buy votes with various government programs. It is a vicious circle, one that has passed the point of no return.
Now for the Republicans. For most of my life time the Democrats have controlled Congress with an occassional exception here and their where the GOP had a slim majority in either the Senate or the House. Not until 1994, however, did the GOP gain workable majorities in both houses of Congress. Wonderful, I thought. Now maybe we can get this country headed back toward the limits the Constitution is supposed to have over the central government. Sadly, the Republicans turned out to be a bunch of incompetent, spineless boobs. Government has continued to grow and become even more unwieldy. Starting with the 1996 elections the GOP started to loose its majority until 2006 when they lost it all together. Now the radical left has majority rule in both houses. With Obama at the helm, they will waste no time in consolidating their power so that they never again loose it. We will in effect have a one party political system because the radical left will make sure no dissenting political entity will ever threaten their power in any future elections.
One other thing of hypocritical note here. The past few years the Democrats have been incensed over deficit spending. All of a sudden!. I remember from the time I was old enough to notice that Democrat controlled Congresses voted each year to raise the national debt limit. Year after year. For some reason, they were not concerned about deficit spending until recently. Wonder why that is? Because it is something they can blame the opposition for. Plane and simple!!

A Nation of Fools
"Birds of a feather flock together". We have all heard that old saying. Our parents or others told most of us that we are who we associate with.
Yet, we are supposed to take Barac Obama's word for it when he tells us that he spent 20 years in a church pastored by a radical hate monger and did not know of this pastor's radical views. We are supposed to take his word for it when he says Bill Ayers is "Just a guy in the neighborhood that he barely knows. If that is true, why was Obama's campaign for the Illinois Senate kicked off in the Ayers' home? Why did Obama write an endorsement for Ayer's book?
Let's take a closer look at Mr. Ayers and his radical left wing wife, Doran. They were both leaders of the Weather Underground, a 1960s communist hate group with the serious intent to overthrow the US Government. They set off several bombs that killed some innocent people. By all that is right, Mr. Aryers and his wife should be in prison. They got off on some sort of technicality. Ayers has admitted publicly, in recent years, that he is an Anarchist and a Marxist
During this time a FBI informant was able to infiltrate this organization. What he tells about the Weather Underground is very chilling. According to this man, this domestic terrorist group intended for the violent overthrow of the US Government. After being successful in that, their next focus was to be crushing any counter revolution. Gun control, anyone? The next step was to put all Americans that were not in on the overthrow in "Re-education Camps" located in the Southwestern states. Another two words for such camps are "Gulag" and "Concentration Camps. Anyone that could not be re-educated was to be eliminated, as in killed. The leaders of this group, like Ayers, estimated that could be as many as 25 million Americans. This is the kind of people Obama hangs with.
Before Ayers, Obama's mentor in college was a member of the American Communist Party. In his book, Obama names this man as a mentor. A Mentor always influences the way someone looks at the world.
Now a nation of fools is primed to put this Marxist in the White House. When he is installed there, all three branches of the Federal Government will be in the control of the radical left, of Marxists. The Congress already is, at least the leadership is. The Federal Courts will soon follow suit by Obama appointments. Academia is already far left. For the most part, the national media is radical left, and those elements that are not will soon be eliminated by the "Fairness Doctrine" or outright intimidation by various federal agencies under Obama control.
Let's look at that for just a moment. As President, Obama will be able to put handpicked Marxists of his ilk in key positions in the bureaucracy. In short, Ladies and Gentlemen, the US Government will be completely in the hands of the radical left, never to be retrieved.
Many will say, "Well if that were really true, it can be fixed with the next election". No, it can't. For two very obvious reasons. Right now the Congress is lower in the polls than even George Bush. But at least 90% of the current members of Congress will be re-elected in less than two weeks. The second reason is that with total control over the information available to the American People, only the news and views of our masters in government will be allowed.
Many will also say I am fear mongering, that it could never happen in America. If you believe that, I have some beachfront property in North Dakota for sale, complete with a thatched hut. Nobody that lives in any country taken over by the far left or any other form of totalitarian government believed it could happen to their country. But it did. Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Sadam Hussein all sounded so wonderful, so full of hope for the masses, so caring. And millions died as a result.
It can, and will happen here because it is obvious, from the national polls, that at least half of the American People are fool enough to elect a smooth talking Marxist to the most important position in the world. With that kind of mentality in place in this country, there is little hope for the future of America.

The end of America
It is with a great deal of anguish that I watch America destroy itself from within. According to the polls, America is about to place a radical left wing extremist in the White House. Since the radical left already controls, and will add to that control, the Congress, it is a given conclusion that the third branch of the Federal Government will also soon be controlled by the radical left. The Supreme Court! Additionally, the radical left already controls most of the sources of information in this country, and academia. With this scenario, it does not take much of a stretch to see that it will not be long before this Marxist mentality will consolidate its power further by censuring any source of information they do not want their subjects to see and hear. That is what Marxists do. The so called "Fairness Doctrine" will be used to silence conservative talk radio. Obama and company will have the ability to use the full intimidation of various federal agencies to intimidate other sources of information they do not want heard. Who is to stop them? Not Congress, that is already controlled by the extreme left. Not the Supreme Court. All Obama has to do is place one of his radical left wingers on the bench. His Senate will ram such a nominee right through with some phony show of a debate. Who will stop them? Not the Republicans. The new regime will consolidate power very quickly and render any opposing political party impotent.
What is really sad is that the American people as so ignorant of their heritage and what is actually at stake they are willing to vote this abomination into power. They are oblivious to the radical left associations of Obama, don't want to hear about them, and think this flim flam man will solve all their problems from financial melt down, for the most part caused by the very political party they expect to fix it. They expect him to end an unpopular war in Iraq. A war made unpopular by the radical left in a divide and conquer move started just a few short months after 9-11. The American People are too naive to understand that if we do not fight these Islamic barbarians over there, we will fight them here on our streets.
For a short time after 9-11 we were an united people. Then a funny thing happened. The Democrats. (read radical left) realized that Bush was serious about going after these barbarians. That would never do. If Bush was successful, it would make him and his party look good. That could not be tolerated as that would delay return to power of the Democrat Party. (Notice I do not refer to it as the Democratic Party. There is nothing democratic about this party.) The rightful party of power. Contrary to what they say, they are not one bit concerned about our sons and daughters in harms way. NOTHING trumps political power for these people. That is the first and foremost concern of these miscreants.
Ben Franklin once said that the American People will get the kind of government they deserve. That is exactly what is about to happen. And sadly, it will mean the end of America as a beacon of liberty in an increasingly hostile power mad world.
