I missed Ohaha's speech.

I watched a Kevin Spacey movie instead(1).

(1) The guy is s nut and prolly gay, but he sure plays weirdos very good.
Then again, for those parts he doesn't have to 'act'. :-)

RE :”Ohaha’s speech reeked of Rahm and Axelrod’s political calculations.

Every morning a fellow from the Politico does a segment on MSNBC The Morning Joe. He has been predicting that Obama will push for some sort of green energy bill in the Senate this summer, but probably not Cap and Trade since he can’t get that passed in the Senate. Then after the election in the lame duck session he will talk the democrats in the house into passing the Senate Energy bill just like they did with Obama-care. The final bill will have hidden taxes in regulations and even more deficit spending.

That gives Obama three passed reforms to use in 2012 re-election campaign , Obama-care, Banking reform (they assume that will pass) and Energy.

Obama-care is unpopular now but the democrat theory is that Republicans will not be unified in how to attack or repeal it in 2012 when more of the benefits kick in.

What benefits? Obamacare is far more than unpopular. It is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act! This is the fundamental point people need to understand when dealing with these flaming socialists/marxists!

” In fact, the speech was so well-rehearsed, even down to the orchestrated voice inflections-——that Ohaha must have channelled Lee Strassberg.”

Ah! The Lee Strassberg Institute for Phony Political Speeches. That was in NYC, wasn’t it??

LOL

RE :”What benefits?

You do know it's a redistribution bill, right?

RE :”Obamacare is far more than unpopular. It is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act! This is the fundamental point people need to understand when dealing with these flaming socialists/marxists!

I am skeptical of the courts overturning even the mandates in the Obama-care bill. (And the mandates they passed were very lame, will put insurance companies out of business when they are ignored because of the other mandates on companies.) Both the 1960s civil rights act and medicaid were passed with a bogus interpretation of US constitution interstate commerce clause that would apply to this too, and now the country is dependent on those precidents. Look how Rand Paul got crusified for even answering a direct question on Civil Rights Act.

For political reasons the mandate is called a fine, not a middle class tax increase. For legal reasons it is called a tax, because congress has the power to tax you as they give you a tax credit for buying a car.

I don't see how we get out of this.

All three designed to

1) Destroy the American economy, and with it, the middle class. You can’t take over a country with a strong middle class.

2) Put all of industry under the thumb of the federal government.

Well, we shouldn’t be surprised. Unadulterated democrats ALWAYS become either monarchists (the best case) or tyrants because their natural impulse is to majoritarianism. The minorities can simply pound sand so far as democrats are concerned, and the current president is a dyed-in-the-wool democrat, at least in that sense.

I don’t think Obama is going to be around much longer. I suspect his leftist masters are about ready to cut their losses.

I bet you a buck that that will NOT be his 2012 campaign theme: "Destroy the American economy and the middle class." I bet the theme will go more like “Look at the big problems I fixed”

That is my crystal ball talking :)

Did you notice the economic recovery stimulus bill is on the list??

My nausea meds are not strong enough for an 8:00p.m. dose of the liar-in-chief so I went to bed and continued reading “The Real George Washington”. I will call my Congressmen again today about crap and trade.

I don't see how we get out of this.

Our founding fathers foresaw how we could rid ourselves of a tyrannical, runaway government. To quote a passage from the Declaration of Independence:

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

They understood the people are the government, not SCOTUS, not Congress and not the White House. The three branches operate only at the consent of the governed. The people will have the final say as to how they are governed.

Chris Matthews is doing a special on that theme tonight 7pm EST called “Tea Parties : Rise of the new Right “where he will tell his small audience that we (those not liberal) want to overthrow the Obama government which we consider illegitimate . I presume this is to work up the liberal base to vote in November.

Newsflash: Do folks know that you cannot get to the northcom.mil site now? Let me know what the martial law provisions and exercises they plan are when and if you get there. They’re the ones who perform these actions.

“OIL SPILL - UN trucks preparations for martial law in Florida?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwbtJHK4cd8

“Alert! Epidemic Hazard declared - Corexits Reign of Terror”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2535590/posts


Let’s review, shall we?

1) Theft of the US treasury, to hand it over to the IMF, WTO, G20, etc
2) Takeover of auto industry, to hand it over to Chinese crap BYD car makers, segway pod cars, etc
3) Takeover of health care, to kill off the elderly, dissenters, undesirables, etc, and to know instantly who has any bullet wounds
4) Giving away of NASA technologies to moslem countries and leave space to the Russians
5) Crushing US small businesses to give them away to moslem and S Asian entities
6) Drying up California and seizing land for federal ‘monuments’ to give away American agriculture to Latin America and Asian companies
7) Somehow having a ‘convenient’ oil/energy-related accident that then shuts down exploration and drilling, along with shipping oil rig and other, KEY technologies to Soros & cabal in Brazil. Or is is Saudi Arabia? So, America will have its $10/gallon gas and the ‘rates will skyrocket’
8) Pulling Soros plants and high-placed moslem plants in the US government and DoD organizations, so that our enemies always know our next steps...or those of our allies

Now, we wait for:

1) our KEY technology dismantling efforts,
2) the seizing of communications under the ‘SMART-grid’ for ‘our and our children’s safety’ and
3) the attempt to seize weaponry of US citizens.
4) how to ‘deal’ with Israel once a few things like healthcare are ‘taken care of.’

The present administration is a Clear and Present Danger to the sovereignty and survival of the United States of America.

The ‘British’ are already here.

Just saw a young black woman who was on a Frank Luntz panel say that Obambi inherited the oil spill!!!!

How in the name of common sense could he "inherit" an oil spill that just happened.

Abused women. That's what Barack's followers are like. Abused women (people) that take the beating 'cause they still love their man and believe anything he says.
