Many thanks for keeping me on your ping list. I enjoy posting his columns (when I have the time) on my alumni blog, if only because it pi$$es off the libs.

This morning, all it took was one remark I made about government surveillance of today's Tea Parties, and the response I received was predictable:

"Bush trashed the Constitution", etc., with the obligatory reference to Bush Administration = the Gestapo.

There was a reference made to "DHS" not helping out New Orleans after Katrina. I immediately thought of the image of the "WTF Cat", and it was hard to believe that a well educated college graduate could draw such an incorrect comparison.

They're really having a hard time supporting their president, Barry Soetero.

What ... if anything ... is to be done to fix the mess we are in now? We are being plowed under as we go to bed every night, and get up every morning.

What can we really do? Since Obama was elected on change ...? he is ignoring the 49% of the American people that did not vote for hi; and is saying he has been 'mandated to make these changes'; and get out of the way because this is what the people want.

The 49% can go to ...!!!! or wherever they want ... just get out of the way; and it is full speed ahead to subvert our government, and bring our nation down. The next election is in question, since we know they lie, cheat, and steal elections ... and have unqualified voters. Plus faulty voting machines, etc., ACORN speaks again. Now they have received millions from the stimulus bill.

WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE IN AMERICA. We must consider that our system may not survive the "changes of Obama's on going mandate", from the voters that put him in power, and of course the medias.

I have had several people say to me ... 'OH! well we have heard all this hoopla before, and we'll hear it again. Things will continue much the same as always. Don't get in a tizzy over it. I respectfully disagree.

There are those that believe things will just keep being successful for America ... based on the past. I do not concur. IF ... we do manage to elect a few Republican (conservatives) to the Senate and the House of Rep. there is still a strong chance that all 'the moderate leaning ones' will go over to Obama. Betting on the chance he will secure their individual power for them.

Let us Pray to God that He will show mercy on His people; and turn our nation back to His ways and He turns the hearts of the people to Him once again, in the name of Jesus Christ our LorD AND SAVIOR. Thank You, Father that You hear our cry, forgive us our sins, and lead us in the way of understanding Your Word. Amen.

Holder called us a “Nation of Cowardss,” but I submit to you that it is the liberal Leftist who are the real cowards.

When have any of them actually fought their own battles, rather than crying “Mommy” all the time?

When have any of them lauded our military instead of laughing at them?

Who is the first one to retreat? They are.

Who is the first one to surrender? They are.

Who is the last one to know what fighting for freedom means?

They are. And, that’w why they’ll be defeated.

I pray it is so.

History has proved again and again that nations fall to the worst kind of governments. Castro, Stalin, Hitler, Zimbabwe’s leader, etc., Mussolini Who would have believed it ahead of time ... how bad it would be ...?

America, like Israel, is unlike any other country in history. The American Revolution is unlike any other Revolution in history. Obama is NOT an American and has no clue what it means to be an American. Being born here makes one, technically, an American, but to be American means to live by its precepts and principles and values, even when it seems like most of us have lost them.

It is well to rmemeber that the vast majority of the people in 1776 were NOT revolutionaries. They liked being a colony of England, far away from England's interference. They didn't know anything else -- or, at least, that was their excuse.

Too many people today use the same excuse, but excuses can go just so far, and this experiment in Socialism will blow up in their faces, mark my words.

No question that the ONLY thing that animates Obama is his vision of remaking 'America' in his own image.

. . .it is what 'small m' suffering messiahs do - a narcissistic suffering that is, from their 'savior complex'. . .and so; in this inverse pathology; he needs all of America suffering as well - only he gets to be the 'big-daddy/ messiah'. (A twist here of the 'abused child' syndrome. Oh that's right; Obama was abused. . .)

And guaranteed; he will make America suffer; and he will proudly put his 'big O' name on it.

(the highest 'messiah' level; if that which George Soros live on. . .but of course, this MO reflects the abberation of all committed 'Lefties')
