    Obamaization

    The core cause of the current financial situation was government pushing for minorities home ownership and backing bad loans with taxpayer money that government doesn't even have. Nowhere in this so-called bailout is there anything that stops this idiotic practice of socialism.

    Just this year we've had big government hand out cash - suppose to stimulate the economy - an absolute failure, because people had to spend their money on higher costs generated by this Liberal Democrat Congress, from government control of the oil industry to forced utilization of food grains as an alternative fuel - biofuel - to save the planet.

    We've had individual bail outs of certain banks and financial institutions - again, government's interference didn't help and if anything - caused situations to become worse.

    Want to know what Conservatives on both sides of the isle stripped from an early version of the Liberal Congress's bailout plan?
    • Provision to provide Pro-Obama unions and other Pro-Obama activist groups with proxy access for corporate boards
    • Provision to mandate shareholder votes on compensation issues (a Pro-Obama union priority)
    • Diversion of funds into a housing fund to support left-wing activist groups like ACORN (a Pro-Obama leftist sinkhole that takes in 40% of its revenues from American taxpayers - Barack Obama was an activist for ACORN!)
    • A provision to allow Pro-Obama trial judges to arbitrarily adjust mortgages, creating bonanza for trial lawyers
    • A provision to require the government to sell to state and local governments at a discount homes the government acquires as a result of foreclosure (and give them to "the needy")
    America is undergoing pains because the Liberal forces - the Pro-Obama forces - are fighting to set the stage for Barack Obama's Change We Need - which is nothing more than bigger government, socialism, and a union-dominated workforce.

    America is having cramps like anyone would have if they ingested something poisonous - all of these Obamaization forces are contrary to the very fabric of our Constitution.

    Of Crisis Management And Chicken Scum

    There have been occasions when a fire fighter has intentionally started a fire so they could become a hero figure upon putting it out. Do you think a person that started a crisis should be recognized as the solution to a crisis? Obviously not.

    How about a company that makes poor management decisions then drives their company into a financial crisis - on the edge of bankruptcy - should the company that caused the crisis be recognized as the solution to the crisis? Obviously not.

    How about a political ideology within a country (like the USA) or throughout the world (global) that creates the appearance of a crisis - even though there really is no crisis. Should this same political ideology of large government control be trusted with controlling what they either caused or fabricated? Would you surrender your freedom for the sake of such fabrications? I would hope not.

    My near future posts will deal with the growing American socialist movement within our growing government and how they use "crisis" to manipulate, with the media help, the population of our country and of the world. From Y2K crisis, global warming crisis, credit crisis, hunger crisis, education crisis, mortgage crisis, financial crisis, labor crisis, energy crisis, poverty crisis, etc. infinitum - all fabricated - all a fraud - all for control through fear.



    I've got to post on this article yesterday on a pro-Obama union website. The title is Ohio poultry workers: Poster-child for Employee Free Choice Act. It focuses on a guy named Ken Brown, a worker at the Case Farms poultry plant and why his situation (by his own choice) is reason to force all workers to lose their freedom of a private vote.

    This guy is a typical pro-Obama union supporter and fits the profile of a Progressive to a tee. This guy is 55 and has worked at this slaughter house for 20 years. For those of you math-challenged that means since he was 35 Mr. Brown elected to make a career of plucking chickens or something and now has a wage of $8.10 an hour.

    My intelligent readers would immediately just shake their heads and probably wonder why this pro-Obama supporter never went back to school, never made the choice to improve his skills, and just made the choice to to the least amount possible in life - waiting for someone like Barack Obama to come along and give him "what he deserves".

    Another brain wizard pro-Obama union dude is Guy Torch - 59 - and his highly marketable skills are making waxed containers for chicken meat. He whines and cries (yet never improved his skills so he could leave) about the plant - no ventilation, no water fountain, temps up to 120 (sweaty workers), etc. (Remember that next time you eat that chicken!)

    Then you have some Puerto Rican whining in Spanish that the chicken meat moves too fast for her and her fingers freeze and her arms have been injured. BTW, "The great majority of the workers, Mullins said, are immigrants from Guatemala and Romania." Just count the number of times "Spanish" appears in the article.

    So this is the type of losers that make up the Barack Obama pro Union-NOW group. People that want more for doing unskilled work a robot can do, that demand all other workers lose their right to a private vote as Barack Obama wants, and are probably pumping out children they can't afford - yet you and I will pick up their bill.

    I'd suggest to that plant to either close their doors and let these losers be free of their horror or revamp their operations using mechanical devices - again - freeing these whiners from their agony.

    Investment In Barack Obama's JIVE

    A person is not born with JIVE - it is a characteristic, a life-style, that is learned and practiced. As with anything the more one learns and practices the better one gets.

    Senator Obama has several things in his favor - he's handsome, he's youthful when placed next to older politicians, he's black enough to be trendy, he's good with words, he has a nice smile - and he's all superficial - a deception.

    I've asked some people I know that think he should be president to tell me what policies of Obama make them decide he should be president. The usual answer is something like "Oh, he just seems sincere and nice and I think it's time we had a black president". Like I said - totally superficial.

    I mention the above to weed out the superficial voter because what follows is based on fact - boring non-superficial fact.

    Very impressionable pre-teen Obama:

    From Senator Obama's own book Dreams From My Father we are told his childhood mentor up to age 18 was the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities". Davis plied his impressionable guest with liberal doses of whiskey and advice, including: Never trust the white establishment. Senator Obama's ambition is to turn his father's dream into reality.

    Post-college Obama:

    Barack Obama embrased Marxist professors and took in socialist conferences "for inspiration". Obama followed in Davis' footsteps, becoming a "community organizer" in Chicago (JIVE for social activist). His boss there was Gerald Kellman, a disciple of the late Saul "The Red" Alinsky, a hard-boiled Chicago socialist who wrote the "Rules for Radicals" and agitated for social revolution in America. CLICK AND READ RULES FOR RADICALS - it's Obama's play book!

    Kellman was able to hire young Obama with $25,000 provided by Chicago-based Woods Fund. Obama would later serve on the Woods Fund Board of Directors along with Bill Ayers. You might remember Bill Ayers as an early terrorist with the Weather Underground - and one of Barack Obama's early political supporters. He knew Barack had a gift of swooning people while advancing the radical socialist principles the both had in common.

    For 3 years Obama was unable to achieve much success so he decided that the best way to achieve real change was to use America's own laws, so he entered Harvard Law School. During his schooling he took a trip to Los Angeles to attend a week national training course by the Industrial Areas Foundation - a socialist resource that has global chapters and trains radicals. A couple of books by IAF are Roots for Radicals: Organizing for Power, Action, and Justice and Rules for Radicals.

    During all of this Obama reunites with his late father's communist tribe in Kenya - the Luo - during trips to Africa. Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Harvard-educated economist and Nairobi bureaucrat, had challenged the ruling pro-Western government for not being socialist enough. In an eight-page scholarly paper published in 1965, Problems Facing Our Socialism (pdf link), he argued for eliminating private farming and nationalizing businesses "owned by Asians and Europeans." He also proposed massive taxes on the rich to "redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all."

    Obama Sr. wrote:
    Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed. I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and siphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development.
    Investment for future development - a phrase that Obama Jr. still uses to justify his big government programs and socialist agenda.

    You already are familiar with the 20 years Obama invested in the Rev. Jeremiah Wright - preacher of a Marxist version of Christianity called "black liberation theology" and supporter of the communists in Cuba, Nicaragua and elsewhere. Obama joined Wright's militant church, pledging allegiance to a system of "black values" that demonizes white "middle classness" and other mainstream pursuits.

    Far too much for this post - far too many facts - far too much obvious training, practice, grooming, and association with the global socialist agenda and radical anti-American efforts - so if you with the full facts from which the past three posts were based on you can do so here.

    Your choice - the superficial or the reality.

    Understanding Barack Obama's JIVE - Deux

    Don't be fooled - there are millions in America that already know how to translate Barack Obama's JIVE. These are the people that include, to a large extent, both extremes of the economic scale:

    Lower income: No real marketable skills this segment simply wants other people's money and resources. They choose the path of least resistance and choose to do nothing to improve their situation and take responsibility for their own person and families.

    Highest income: These people have already made it and are financially secure so their objectives are to advance an ideology they believe in - socialism. In any socialist society there are the elite that control (of which this sector identifies with) then there are the worker bees - that's all the rest of you.

    The rest - the majority of Americans - have their heads in the clouds or up their ass and don't even know what is going on, let alone, what is really being pushed by Barack Obama. That's why I'm here to help you in part two of JIVE-to-English class.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "patriot employers" this is JIVE for employers that have succumb to union control. As a matter of record Barack Obama has told the NAACP he will push for government contracts to be awarded ONLY to unionize companies. Yes class - Obama's " patriot employers " is a euphemism for socialism.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "universal healthcare" this is JIVE for government controlling every aspect of your health - even choosing whether you should have an operation or not - depending on your age for example. He plans for government to micro-manage your employer beyond health care, so be prepared for more companies to exit America. Yes class - Obama's " universal healthcare" is a euphemism for socialism.

    Understanding what drives Barack Obama's JIVE will come tomorrow.

    Yes class - Obama's "promises" are all euphemisms for socialism. It be all JIVE. You and your children will pay for it - ALL.


    Congratulations to Texas and the US Supreme Court for ignoring International Court demands and executing an illegal alien last night for raping and murdering two girls - both under 18. The only sad part was that justice took too long. Gives a glimmer of hope that America will stand on American law, not International Law and international demands.

    Had Obama been President he would have probably given this scumbag an executive pardon.

    Understanding Barack Obama's JIVE

    First you need to understand what JIVE means. If you check the dictionary there are various meanings. The JIVE associated with Senator Obama is number 8 at Dictionary.com:
    8.Slang. insincere, pretentious, or deceptive.
    The focus is the word "deceptive". I've tried to explain this to readers in the past but last week I found an article at Investors.com that put my thoughts into something easier to understand. On that I will structure the Obama JIVE -> English explanation.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "economic justice" this is JIVE for his promise to punish the successful and redistribute their wealth by government force. Yes class - Obama's "economic justice" is a euphemism for socialism.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "restoring fairness to the economy" this is JIVE for his promise to soak the "rich" - a segment of society he fails to understand that includes mom-and-pop businesses filing individual tax returns. Yes class - Obama's "restoring fairness to the economy" is a euphemism for socialism.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "investments" - "to make America more competitive" this is JIVE for "wealth transfers". Some examples of his, by his own JIVE, investments:
    • "Universal," "guaranteed" health care
    • "Free" college tuition
    • "Universal national service" (a la Havana)
    • "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families")
    • "Free" job training (even for criminals)
    • "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels)
    • "Free" child care and "universal" preschool
    • More subsidized public housing
    • A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor"
    • And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.
    Yes class - Obama's "investments" are a euphemism for socialism. It be all JIVE. You and your children will pay for it - ALL.

    Hynix Closure - Smart Business Move

    Oregon Democrat politicians were stunned when Hynix announced they are shutting their plant in Eugene, Oregon. Obviously they don't read my blog because if they did they would have known this closure was inevitable.

    On the eve of yet another rise in the Federal minimum wage the Hynix closure means the end of employment for 1,113 workers. Let's drop the emotion and just check some facts -

    Semiconductors are in huge demand yet this business sector is extremely competitive and every tiny profit percent can mean life or death. Hynix could have upgraded their only US facility but serious considerations had to be made:

    Oregon's Democrat government forces their company to pay a minimum wage higher than the national average, and with a Democrat-controlled Congress this government intervention mandating what unskilled employees must be paid causes businesses to suffer and their profit margins to shrink

    Oregon is not a business-friendly state nor is the city of Eugene. Continued forced mandates and a growing big government (even at the local level) intrudes into the business activities that should not be controlled and manipulated by business-ignorant Democrat politicians

    Oregon Democrats are money hungry careless fools that have no end to their tax-and-spend frenzy. Hynix was paying $4.47 million in taxes each year - and that was just to the city of Eugene - even more to the State of Oregon. In the local liberal paper Eugene's Liberal Democrat Mayer Kitty Piercy said that they plan to raise taxes on Eugene property owners to make up the tax loss from Hynix. Just like a Democrat - don't change your spending habits - just raise taxes on everyone. Even if you rent your landlord will pass this cost on to you!

    I predicted various times in my posts that companies would leave the USA because of growing government interference and Hynix isn't the first and it won't be the last. Those that are American companies will eventually sell to foreign companies that will shift operations out of the USA. As Democrats continue to strip the freedom from companies just listen to that sucking sound grow - jobs and wealth sucked out of America.
    In a free society, employers should have the right to hire and fire workers and to pay them wages that are mutually agreed upon, and workers should have the right to freely compete for jobs and, thus, to accept employment at mutually beneficial wage rates.

    A worker's minimum acceptable hourly wage, of course, will depend on his or her next best alternative employment opportunity and, hence, on the value of his or her productivity in the marketplace.
    Behold - the great Democrat Change for America - enjoy it - YOU voted them in!

    Those Starbucks Oregon Closures

    You can see the full list of all 600 Starbucks store closures here (PDF). Three of these are in Portland, one in Beaverton, one in Hillsboro, and one in Tillamook.

    One of the Portland stores closing (the Division Street store) was fought by loving Progressives during its development and construction, and these same loving caring Progressives firebombed and busted out three of their windows the evening after it opened in 2004.

    In 2007, at that same store, a loving - caring - tolerant Progressive threw their mocha Venti (the largest candy bar drink) into the manager's face. My guess is if I were to visit that area I'd find homeless scum in the streets and parks; and an economically and socially depressed area of the city. I know that because it is inevitably the results of the Progressive government - either now or will be.

    If Starbucks had to close stores I hope their choice of closures were in communities where such loving Progressives were against free enterprise. I'd like to hope the Progressives are responsible in part for the over 10,000 Starbuck employees affected nationwide. Maybe it was the forced high minimum wage to all those highly skilled employees that press a button and hand you a coffee drink - forced by a growing government.

    Progressives - in their hatred of free enterprise and actually anything short of big government - are destroying jobs, wages, personal security, and even - most recently - freedom of speech. Yet, these are the same leaches that cry "civil rights" and "tolerance" and "equality". The words that come from their lips in no way match what they practice.

    Continue to enjoy the Progressiveness of the Democrat Controlled Congress and the Nancy Pelosi budget.

    Who Can Save Humanity?

    If you've read my posts it's pretty obvious I'm a person that believes in human ingenuity and the human drive and freedom to accomplish the impossible. It's pretty obvious I hold no faith or hope in governments - no matter the country.

    Government, as an entity, has never advanced the human race, nor has any government ever advanced the human species. As government grows larger and increasingly socialistic it only perpetuates our decline.

    Perhaps those dreams of decades ago of all the great technology that we'd be enjoying now (flying cars, cars running of something other than oil, vacations to Mars, etc.) would have come to pass if governments stayed smaller and allowed private enterprise and the free spirit to flourish - but governments grew and are more oppressive than ever.

    Growing government has forced the focus FROM dreaming outwards where a better future for all resides, TO a focus inward - on self - reducing the vision that would evolved our species. A better destiny has been stumped in favor of, what amounts to, simply maintaining global misery.

    Sometimes an encouraging ray of hope appears - such as the Google Lunar X Prize:
    The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Teams must be at least 90% privately funded and must be registered to compete by December 31, 2010.

    Nothing great is accomplished alone. Find out who is offering assistance to the teams, from launch services to communications providers.
    If you click on the Preferred Partners link you will see no government entity is listed. Google knows the harmful effect of government.

    One bold ambition of the project: using lunar materials to make solar power collectors that can generate carbon-free energy, which is then transmitted to the Earth.

    Private enterprise challenging private enterprise advances technology. Goals that grow private enterprise result in more employment while goals to grow the union base and socialistic goals result in less employment and greater misery.

    What makes more sense - budgeting $35.3 Billion for the International Affairs Budget (bribes to leaders of other countries - as Congress has in their FY08 budget) or directing that sum (or tax breaks) to private enterprise in a challenge to create combustion free energy sources, creative health solutions, etc. - all of which translates into jobs, advancement of the human race, etc.

    The computer you use now was NOT brought to you by big government, but by creative and innovated private enterprise.

    The internet we all rely on was not part of some government budget to create an internet (as Al Gore claims), but the result of private research and development.

    No politician or group of politicians, no union, or any global socialist movement has, are, or ever will, advance the human race into a better age.

    Vote for Ron Paul - to restore America to the land of the free.
