To Conservatives, the American Dream is defined by the Declaration of Independence-- that we are inherently free, endowed by our Creator with this freedom, and that our rights come from our God, not the government. Even to non-conservatives, pop culture has defined this dream as the classic story of an individual when given opportunity and freedom, uses his own creativity, spirit, vision and labor and becomes a success. His labor provides a secure and stable life for his family.
America throughout the world has always meant a place where the oppressed would find opportunity and hope. That very message is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty and has greeted millions of immigrants “yearning to be free” for over a century. It is the foundation that Lady Liberty actually stands on and our country stands for.
Therefore, when most people hear that a candidate or a President talk about the “American Dream” we assume he is talking about this same dream.
That is no longer true.
The vision the Obama administration has for America is not at all the same “American Dream” we the people share. His version of the dream has nothing to do with individual spirit, resourcefulness, faith, opportunity, or freedom. His dream is spelled out in the pages of the manifestos of his socialist mentors and ACORN recruitment pamphlets.
The Obama version of the American Dream is a powerful central government controlled by a small band of elitists, controlling throngs of subservient masses with “gifts” of housing, sustenance, and welfare. His dream for America is a socialist “utopia,” funded entirely by that dwindling per cent of the population that still work, pay taxes, and produce, and cling to their antiquated definition of the country that now suffocates them. He doesn't deny this is his dream-- he just uses spin and empty rhetoric to make it sound good to the goverment dependents that vote but do not fund his dream. What results from his twisted dream is the irony where representation without taxation is completely funded by taxation without representation.
(To you idiotic CNN reporters: THAT’S what TEA parties have to do with taxes.)
We are seeing the foundation of the “great” Obama vision being built today, one playing card at a time. True to his word about at least one thing, his Socialism has become so “transparent” that even the Russians warn it is too excessive. Does it not give anyone pause that Pravda marked the demise of capitalism, and Newsweek celebrated the dawn of socialism ? Our enemies couldn’t be happier. Obamais supposed to defend our country from those that wish to destroy our American Dream. Yet, he stands in the National Archive, with his back to the Declaration of Independence and Constitution and destroys America without a fight.
In times like these, I find myself haunted by the words of the late, great Charlton Heston.
No, not those words. Not the ones about the guns and the cold dead hands.
Rather, the words that Mr. Heston said in character as Astronaut George Taylor, upon finding the washed-on-shore remnants of the Statue of Liberty.
“We finally did it ! YOU MANIACS !!! You blew it up!”
Rest in peace, Lady Liberty.

Twist, Nancy, Twist
Twist, Nancy, Twist
Pelosi is being hung out to dry for her flagrant dishonesty about the CIA briefings, and it is amazing to watch the Obama administration allow her to twist in the wind. In fact, they even seem to be building a fire under her dangling feet.
Conservatives are all awash with glee at the political disintegration of the most vicious partisan obstructionist figure in Congress. We all want to believe this is happening because she “deserves it.” Lord knows it is about time someone call her on her hypocrisy. However, the fact that it is being allowed to happen and perhaps even orchestrated by the Obama regime should give us all pause.
We want to tell ourselves that the White House is giving Madame Pelosi the cyanide capsule because they are making good on their promise for zero tolerance on corruption and petty partisanship. It gives us hope to think that finally, finally, finally someone is holding the Dragon Lady accountable for her arrogance and hypocrisy. Finally, finally, finally.
Could this be the first step to establishing the Obama’s tag line: the “new era of cooperation” we have all be craving?
Don’t cancel your tea party yet.
If the administration is piling the firewood under her feet, it simply means she has become a liability to them. No matter that she has been a liability to the country her entire career.
This event is not even as surprising as it may seem. In fact, it was predicted-- by me, the Fairness Doc. The day after the election, I was commiserating with fellow Conservatives. I told them to take heart because this will mean the end to Pelosi. My colleagues laughed at me-- one nearly choking on his Diet Coke.
They thought I was joking. No, I explained, Obama will need to find a reason to get rid of her, and he won’t be able to put her on a plane and ship her out of the country (into a war zone) like Hillary. He has to get rid of Pelosi-- not because her popularity numbers look like a winter thermometer at International Falls, Minnesota. Not because her evil partisanship prevents Congress from accomplishing the will of the people. Not because her unbridled arrogance allows her to make preposterous statements like “There’s 500 million people out of work” (2.5 times more than the population of the country), and we have to get this bill through because “people are hungry” -- as she flies off to Rome for a “vacay” at taxpayer’s expense. Not, not even because she has allowed Frank (pun intended) Congressional incompetence, hypocrisy, and outright corruption, exemplified by Congressmen and new cabinet members who put their own well-being and security before the nation’s and hold themselves above the rules, laws, and taxes they force on the rest of us.
I told my sputtering colleagues in November, 2008, that Obama will put Pelosi on the chopping block faster than King Henry the VII and Anne Boleyn. I was off by about 15 days. She is being served up as the blue plate special not because she is elitist, arrogant, and partisan, but because she is not elitist, arrogant, and partisan enough. If Obama wanted to, he could protect her-- one snap of his fingers and his media lapdogs would ask her no tougher questions than they ask Michelle. She is twisting in the wind right now for one reason only: she would not subdue her desire for power enough to yield it to the administration.
Pelosi wants power for herself, and a megalomaniac like Obama will not stand for anything less than total subservience to HIM. If he swoops in an saves her now, she will be on bended knee for the rest of his term. If she doesn't yield to him, it's off with her head.
You can almost hear him say: “Hey Panetta-- get the rope and firewood. And don’t forget the marshmallows.”

The Declaration of Dependency
Say it ain’t so, Mr. O !
The jobless rate actually went up since you were elected ! How could that be? You had “THE PLAN”. You were going to put us all to work building bridges, schools, government buildings, and the Pyramids of Giza. What went wrong?
According to you, nothing at all. You arrogantly said that the increase is somehow “proof” that THE PLAN is working. Yet, when you and the Princess of Darkness (Dem - California) rammed the “Stimulus” bill down our throats, you told us time was so critical Congress could not even take the time to read the bill. There was no time for debate. No time for discussion. No time to hear our representatives voice the opinions of the taxpayers-- remember us? We’re the ones that pay for all your delusions of grandeur and Marxist ideals. You warned us that if we didn’t allow right this minute all the monstrous spending, the extra dollars to Liberal causes, the augmentation of the Welfare State, and the billions of dollars to your corrupt ACORN buddies, dire consequences would occur. Without this turkey, you warned, the jobless rate would hit 8% !!
So here we are, right where you said we wouldn’t be , yet you say we aren’t. If we didn’t pass the bill, according to you, we would have been at 8%. Yet, you’re proud to tell us we’re at 8.9%.
Will someone teach this man some math before our country is completely destroyed ! (Too late).
Since you apparently cannot see the problem, and none of your Czars and yes-men don’t really want to tell you, let me enlighten you. The problem is you may have increased the number of people receiving welfare and unemployment benefits, but your plan does not encourage, stimulate, nurture or ignite in any way private enterprise. ( Ooh! I said those scary words. Must be like garlic, a crucifix, and holy water to you. Is that the Treasury Secretary I see reaching for the nitroglycerine? Relax, Tim. You’ll be rid of that pesky Capitalism in no time. )
Your plan(s) do nothing but victimize and demonize the private sector-- taking more and more of our already dwindling incomes to fund corruption, malfeasance, and non-production. Your stimulus bill is the Declaration of Dependency. It makes the State the employer and parent to the hapless throngs that cannot figure out that America is about opportunity, responsibility, and liberty, not corruption, irresponsibility, and oppression.
Those of us that are entrepreneurs and individualists are still the number one employer in the country-- despite your best efforts to stop us. There is no relief or stimulus for us anywhere in those star-filled eyes of yours. You promise it all the time, saying: “I will do whatever it takes to help small business.” What it takes is less taxes, less regulation, more freedom. What it takes is a government that doesn't waste our hard-earned dollars on Congressional pleasure junkets and cute fly-overs of the Statue of Liberty. (Take the Grey Line, next time !) You campaign that we are the enemy, and that we need more oversight and more taxes. We know the campaign won’t be over till you get that annoying term limit thing off the books. We are already sending over half of what we sweat for to the federal, state, and local governments. Yet, that is not enough. We are being handcuffed and suffocated, the oven door is open and the gas is on, and your plan throws in the match.
Every entrepreneur / employer out there knows what you are up to, and while you are in office we will not be expanding our businesses and creating more jobs. We have to pay for every government job you create, and we pay for it by decreasing our own workforce. We will be taking on more hours ourselves, without hiring more. Employees become more and more of a liabiliy as you make us give them benefits we cannot even afford to give ourselves and you make us take on more of the social burdens you create. We are trying to weather the storm and hoping that sooner or later you will stop punishing achievement and awarding corruption. The jobless rates will continue to rise. Then, as one by one we (the nation’s number one employer) figure out that the destruction of small business is not an accident but your actual PLAN-- you will see the numbers jump even higher.
That’s not really your concern, though , is it? Even as you see the rate go into the double digits (as it already has in many areas), you will still go on national TV and beam that the increase is “proof” your dream is working. That is true, of course -- but no one in the media will dare to ask you exactly which dream you mean. You’ll still get reelected, as long as there are enough taxpayer-funded ACORN buses to take your non-taxpaying voters to the polls. Meanwhile, you and Michelle (in her $540 ugly Keds-look-alikes) will be Riverdancing all over the graves of small businesses everywhere.

Obama's Moral Compass
Mr. Obama, our Dear Leader, recently declared that “waterboarding is torture” and we have “lost our moral compass.”
Excuse me, Mr. O: You had better send your moral compass back to the shop for repairs. It has been broken for a long, long time.
For example, wasn’t it that great moral compass of yours that allowed you to gleefully stand next to your Kenyan cousin Odinga? He promoted "ethnic cleansing" and butchered thousands. Why did your moral compass not warn you genocide is immoral? Was it just set on vibrate then?
Why didn’t that fine-tuned moral instrument of yours advise you about the immorality of allowing a child born alive to suffocate to death in a hospital trash bin? You supported and enabled this abomination. You even feebly justified it by saying the mother had the right not to be “punished with a baby.”
Are you sure that gold-plated Rolex-made Moral Compass, The Liberal Edition, is even plugged in? You sat right next to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn through meeting after meeting, cocktail party after cocktail party, and it didn’t even warn you that unrepentant murder of a police officer is immoral. You even dismissed the seriousness of their crime by saying you were “only 8 years old when it happened.” Do they not teach at Harvard Law that murder has no statute of limitations? NEITHER DOES PRINCIPLE.
Somehow that shiny Moral Compass of yours tells you that the murder of political opponents, newborn babies, and police officers is just, and the temporary discomfort of a professed mass-murdering terrorist is wrong. Read the owner’s manual, please !! These criminals killed 4,000 innocents on 9/11. They celebrated it. They would do it again tomorrow . Their only regret is that the number of killed was not ten or a hundred times more.
Yet, you, guided once again by your distorted Moral Compass, feel that harsh interrogation to uncover more evil is worse than murder -- is “torture.” Let me tell you what torture is, Mr. Obama. Torture is watching your loved ones die on national television-- knowing the burning building they are trapped in has just collapsed. Torture is knowing your children died in Iraq or Afghanistan to fight this evil and capture these terrorists, only to have them released by a morally misguided “Commander in Chief.”
Where did you get that defective device of yours anyway ? Ebay? Perhaps it was a gift from your numerous radical mentors and handlers. Or could it actually be one of the defective thermometers NISS used to fudge the global warming data? I suspect it was given to you by your pal Senator Kennedy when he gave you “Bo.” He may have even worn it himself. That would explain why it is not working: the gears got rusty with the waters of the Chappaquiddick.
Wherever it came from, fix it or send it back. Your number one moral duty as President is to keep this country safe. Your malfunctioning compass that allows you to justify the murder of innocents and release terrorists to kill again cannot secure a single citizen you have sworn to protect. You can schmooze with dictators and hire released Gitmo detainees to be your poolboy if you want, on your own time. Right now, you are being paid by the people to make the right decisions to protect our country and Constitution. You had better borrow a little of the bailout trillions and quickly send away to Sharper Image for the deluxe ultra-sleek executive I-Compass, as your current device is useless.

"THE PARTY IS OVER"
When I first began this blog, Obama had just been elected. We have now marked the first 100 days of his reign. We have seen his agenda and undending hypocrisy come to light so distinctly that even the diehard Obama-smooching media minions can no longer deny he is a socialist. We have seen the office of Homeland Security label anyone that dares to be against abortion or in favor of states' rights a "domestic terrorist". Apparently, the Governor of Texas is now a terroist. Thomas Jefferson is now a greater threat to our culture than the terrorists at Gitmo that are soon to be moving into a neighborhood near you, compliments of the American taxpayer. (Apparently, part of Mr. Obama's energy policy is to move them closer to the White House so they will expend less gas when they attack the next time.)
Conservatives and those idiots (like myself) that are stupid enough to believe in the ridiculous words of the Declaration of Independence, that our rights come from our Creator, not from the Governement, are demonized as enemies of the State. We simply believe in the Constitution. We believe that people are supposed to control the government-- and the government does not control the people. We believe in truth, not spin. That makes us the only threat left to the mass fraud that this administration has based its power on.
It is Berlin in the late 1930's. We are the only ones sounding the alarm.
If you have a single brain cell that hasn't been destroyed by the current culture of lies, arrogance, elitism, and fascism, read the words of Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams, and Franklin. Teach them to your children before it is forbidden to do so. They are NOT outdated. They are NOT politically incorrect. They defy the tyranny that is being imposed on us even today.
It is decision time. Do we believe in the Declaration of Independence or not? Do we believe in the ideals that our founders set forth, or is, as Obama told us: "The party over."?
