Side Street Riot

Glenn Beck closed out the three-day conservative conference on Saturday with a stirring speech. Watch the complete speech.

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is running for congress in 2010  to defeat democrat incumbent Clarence William “Bill” Nelson. Support Allen West,  His principles are our principles!  Florida needs to send the same message to congress that Massachusetts sent.

“This week marked one year since Barack Obama became President. It was the same week that liberals lost a Senate seat in Massachusetts” Read More

1.  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2.  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
3.  You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
4.  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
5.  You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence.
6.  You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
7.  You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
8.  You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
9.  You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
10  You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.

The Ten Cannots were published in 1942 by William J. H. Boetcker a Politcal Conservative. Boetcker was quoted by President Ronald Reagan at the 1992 Republican convention in Houston.

Scott Brown at the Massachusetts Senate debate. “With all due respect, it’s not the Kennedy’s seat, it’s not the Democrats’ seat, it’s the people’s seat.”

State Senator Scott Brown has led the fight in Massachusetts against wasteful government spending and higher taxes. He is a free-market advocate who believes our strength as a nation flows from its people. He believes in a culture of family, patriotism and freedom. At his September 12 announcement of candidacy for the U.S. Senate, Senator Brown articulated a core set of beliefs that guide his thinking. More

1.  Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual.  He is not to be underestimated.  He is a cool customer who doesn’t show his emotions.  It’s very hard to know what’s behind the mask.  The taking down of the Clinton machine was an amazing accomplishment.  The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.  Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2.  Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton.  He has a way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite.  Pay no attention to what he SAYS but rather, watch what he does!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power.  He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism.  He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.
4. Obama has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society.  He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada
5. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government.  He doesn’t care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus.  The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth.  Paying for FREE college education is his goal.  Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof.  The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . 
6. Obama has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types.  No one around him has ever even run a candy store.  But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries.  This obviously can’t work in the long run.  Obama is not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left.  Again, watch what he does, not what he says.
7.  Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world.  Obama sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas.  Obama sees moral equivalency in all cultures.  Obama’s apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors.  This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
8.  Obama is now handing out goodies.  He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012.  He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future.  Obama has a huge ego, hObama is a narcissist.
9. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong.  Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him.  Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl are the future of the party.  Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage.  Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to seriously bone up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.  We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state’s rights.
10. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous.  We are spending trillions that we don’t have.  This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse.  No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity.  The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda.  But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package.  These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
11. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome.  The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally.  Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
12. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power.  If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it’s between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight.  It will all be about the economy.  I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s happening in Washington and Congress.  There is a left-wing revolution going on, keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. 

 The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.

 WAY TO GO OKLAHOMA 
 
 An update from Oklahoma :
 Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, an amendment  to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol.   The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake.  Hey  this is a conservative state, based on Christian values…!  HB 1330  Guess what………. Oklahoma did it anyway.
 Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal  immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to  get a green card and become an American citizen.  They all scattered. HB  1804.  Hope we didn’t send any of them to your state.   This was against  the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said   it would  be a mistake.  Guess what………. Oklahoma did it anyway.

 Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals  to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional.   SB 1102  Guess what…….. Oklahoma   did it anyway.

 Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign  state, not under the Federal Government directives.  Joining   Texas ,  Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.  More states are likely to  follow:   Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina’s, Tennessee,  Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida.  Save  your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once  again.  HJR 1003  The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have  the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles.  I’m sure
 that was a set back for the criminals (and Obamaites).  Liberals didn’t  like it –  But … Guess what……….. Oklahoma did it anyway.

 Just this month, my state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver’s  license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other  language.  We have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that  ALL of our road signs are in English only.  If you want to drive in  Oklahoma , you must read and write English.  Really simple.  By the way, Obama does not like any of this. Guess what….who cares…  Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

 A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. ‘Very few people were true Nazis,’ he said, ‘but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.’

 We are told again and again by ‘experts’ and ‘talking heads’ that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

 The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

 The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the ’silent majority,’ is cowed and extraneous.

 Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China ’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

 The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

 And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?

 History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence..

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts–the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

 Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just ignores it is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send a link to this page to everyone you know. Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on – before it’s too late.

 This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent 
 
 ”As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
 
 I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic
 and income levels
 
 Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
 
 Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and roll — but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.
 
 I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
 
 I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
 funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..
 
 I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students, here in the country less then 3 months, who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them “Putas” (whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.
 
 Free medical, free education, free food, day care
 etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
 
 To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
 
 Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes..
 
 Americans, We need to wake up.
 
 It does, however, have everything to do with culture: It involves an American third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about “political  correctness” that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.
 
 If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.
 
 CHEAP LABOR? Isn’t that what the whole immigration issue is about?
 
 Business doesn’t want to pay a decent wage.
 
 Consumers don’t want expensive produce.
 
 Government will tell you Americans don’t want the jobs.
 
 But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase “cheap labor” is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as “cheap labor.”
 
 Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for
 $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an “earned income credit” of up to $3,200 free.
 
 He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
 
 He qualifies for food stamps.
 
 He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
 
 His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
 
 He requires bilingual teachers and books.
 
 He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
 
 If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. If qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare . All of this is at (our) taxpayer’s expense.
 
 He doesn’t worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
 
 Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
 
 He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
 
 Working Americans
 are lucky to have $5.00 or $6..00/hour left after paying their bills and his.
 
 
 Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!

Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul’s name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America .

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy.. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival – all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack  Obama as a politician.
I would have to deny the nature of the “change” that  Obama asserts has come to America .

Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century.  I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life.  I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend.  I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared “progressive” whites who voted for him because he doesn’t look like them..

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration – political intellectuals like my former colleagues at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

I would have to believe that “fairness” is the equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to “go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice” is speaking in my interest… I  would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from  the “bottom up,” and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.

 Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene  of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago IRRATIONALLY  chanting “Yes We Can!” Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead – and no one, including, and, especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United States , the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over – and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.

So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America . Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected, not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to – Do Something!  You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.  But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and  mine – what little there is left – for the chance to feel good.

There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.

There is too much going on. Yes. I don’t even know what to focus on to write about. I am not a writer or a blogger by any definition. I just get passionately angry about something then post it. Well there is so much to get passionately angry about. Each day brings more and more craziness from the Obama administration and the kooks in congress, it is to the point I am starting to think we are blitzed with this never ending bullshit supply on purpose. Keeps it hard to focus on anything for too long.
