Financing the Enemy

It is my understanding that the National Center for Public Research and Freedomworks are teaming up to make We the People (WtP) aware of large companies that lobby for legislation that threatens to harm consumers. This would be legislation that most all conservatives detest, such as Obama Care and Cap & Trade. They have announced that General Electric and Johnson & Johnson head the list; but, I am sure Progressive Insurance and Google will be among the top tier of firms.

With the overwhelming success of the November 2 elections, it is clear that the silent majority is no longer oblivious to the very real threats aimed at our society by progressives in congress and the Obama administration. First there was ignorance, then denial, which progressed to recognition, followed by anger. The Tax Day Protests, 9-12 Marches on DC and Glenn Beck’s 8-28 Project were massive displays by WtP that changes were going to be made or else. We were ignored by most of our elected officials; so we chose the path of or else.

We made ourselves heard on November 2, 2010. Now we must monitor those we helped put into office. Make sure they know we are going to hold them accountable. Just as importantly, they need to know that we have their backs when they need our assistance in combating the dual cancers of corruption and arrogance so prevalent inside the beltway. However, that isn’t enough. WtP need to take direct action. We must stop financing the enemy.

This will sometimes be inconvenient. Take a look at my email address. I commit to dropping gmail (Goggle) by year’s end. Those of you with Progressive Insurance need to stop funneling money through them to the Obama Administration. Look up what products Johnson & Johnson sells. I am sure you have some of them in your house. After January 1, 2011, stop supporting these people. Now let’s not get crazy here. If your doctor wants to use Johnson & Johnson’s Cell Search to identify circular tumors, go for it. But come on. We can all find a substitute for Listerine.

I am going to name what I consider the dirty baker’s dozen progressives/Obama supporters in Hollywood. They are beyond condescending to us; they openly insult conservatives. Actors who are no longer relevant, such as Ed Asner, Martin Sheen, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Barbra Streisand, are not on the list. Rob Reiner has been instrumental in the bankruptcy of California and as such transcends this list proceeding directly to the Progressive Hall of Fame. Janeana Garofalo and Michael Moore are not on the list. Anybody still financially supporting these two individuals after all they have publically said and done to denounce America and conservatism, would not be reading anything I write.

1. Leonardo DiCaprio
2. Sean Penn
3. Steven Spielberg
4. Matt Damon
5. Tom Hanks
6. Julia Roberts
7. George Clooney
8. Olivia Wilde
9. Woody Harrelson
10. Alec Baldwin
11. Ben Affleck
12. Oliver Stone
13. Ben Stiller

These people are ruling class elitist who equate the American public to sheep. They consider us incapable of rational thought. Most of these people are Socialist or Communist. Some are just ignorant.

Olivia Wilde has a new movie coming out called Tron-Legacy. Sci-Fi lovers are going to want to see it. Keep in mind, she did a get-out-the-vote add funded by George Soros which was incredibly demeaning towards Sarah Palin and conservatism. She is an outspoken advocate for the progressive movement, as are all the people on my list. The Jason Bourne movies are among my favorites; but I will not spend one more dollar enriching Matt Damon enabling him and his buddy Affleck to throw another $1,000 a plate fund raiser for Obama.

The Prime Minister of Russia and former KGB officer, Vladimir Putin, was laying praise last week on actor Leonardo DiCapro, calling him, “A Real Man.” Of course, DiCaprio’s dire version of the earth’s future in the documentary The 11th Hour, plays right into the global warming hoax. This harms the American economy which would naturally benefit Russia. DiCaprio created, produced and narrated this propaganda piece and admits the purpose is to indoctrinate children. In his words, his goal was to “recruit young eco-activists to the cause. We need to get kids young.”

According to a 2009 article by Daryl Deino, Julia Roberts once threatened to fire anyone on her staff that said anything negative about Barrack Obama. Unlike Julia, I would defend the right of anyone, including the people on my list, to express and advocate for their beliefs. However, we have every right to express our opposition by not funding them. In fact, it is beyond our right. It is our obligation to stop financing the progressive movement by spending untold millions of dollars on Hollywood’s Hate American First bunch.

Congressman McClintock, An Open Letter

I did not address the issue of Barrack Obama being eligible for the Presidency in any of my previous blog posts or my book American Revolution 2010. The reason being is I thought that if Obama was not a legitimate candidate for the office of President, the Clinton Machine would have been all over it. They had resources beyond anything I could even imagine. Yet, they did not address the issue. To me that could only mean that it was not a problem for Mr. Obama. As for why Obama would not show proof of his place of birth when pressed to do so by critics, that fit perfectly with his game plan of deliberately agitating We the People. It was just another of many diversions while he worked to force through Obama Care. Now I believe I was mistaken.

Definitions change over time. I don't mean like Clinton's famous "it depends on what the definition of is is." Rather, something like how the meaning of being gay in 1890 changed to what it meant to be gay in 1990. We need to know the definition of “natural born Citizen” when the Constitution was written. It is not relevant what Barrack Obama or Glen Amos uses as a definition today. We can't trust Goggle, Wikipedia or Snopes when it comes to political/progressive issues (check out their political donations and connections). Consider the following:

Emmerich de Vattel’s The Law of Nations, published in 1759 was THE primary reference book used by our Founders of the U. S. Constitution. According to constitutional scholars over the past 200 plus years, it is not possible to overstate the influence of de Vattel’s The Law of Nations as the primary reference book in the drafting of our Constitution. In it, de Vattel wrote, “The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.” Please make special note of the “s” on parents. http://www.lonang.com/exlibris/vattel/vatt-119.htm

In Article 2, Section 1 of our Constitution, it reads, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

Barrack Obama’s father was NOT a U. S. Citizen. He was a Citizen of the U. K. and/or Kenya. Therefore, Barrack Obama cannot possibly be a natural born Citizen of the United States and is not legally qualified to serve as President of the United States.

Congressman McClintock, you displayed the integrity and fortitude to reprove the President of Mexico when he demeaned the Citizens of Arizona while speaking in our House. If you have proof that my logic is invalid, please explain precisely how this is so, as I seek only the truth. If not, I am asking you to do the difficult thing and fulfill your oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States by calling upon the Secret Service to remove Mr. Obama from the office of President as rapidly as possible.

TSA, A Slight of Hand

Over the past 3 weeks, I have flown from Seoul, to Bangkok, to Kuala Lumpur, to Singapore, to Adelaide, to Sydney, to Honolulu, to Sacramento. I never went through a body scanner nor was I patted down. Not once. I did not even have to take off my shoes. I am over 60, white and a native Hoosier. I am not a frequent flier and had never before flown on Korean Airlines, Lufthansa, or Singapore Airlines.

What is going on here in the U. S. is just another way the Obama regime is deliberately agitating We the People. They want us frustrated and our attention diverted. It serves their purposes. As always the media is an enabler. If it isn't this issue they are talking about it is Dancing With the Stars. Anything to keep us stirred up and prevents Dorothy and us from seeing the man behind the curtain (Soros).

Ugly Americans

In Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore, I seldom turned on the TV. When I did try to catch up on a little news, the choices were BBC or CNN. More appropriate letters would be CRAP.

It is no wonder many in the world have such a low opinion of Americans. If all a person knew about us was what was aired on these channels, they would certainly have negative opinions of us. One BBC reporter about went apoplectic over the election results of November 2nd. He was screaming, “Who do these people (Tea Party movement) think they are trying to subvert the policies of President Obama!”

When Obama goes on TV in the US and says the election results were the fault of the people failing to understand the accomplishments of his administration (“Making an argument that people can understand”), we know he is delusional, lying or both. Many outside the United States don’t get to hear the truth. It would be like us having to rely on MSNBC. They hear the President of the United States basically calling us stupid. In Asia, the BBC and CNN give news biased a whole new dimension.

Let me ask you a question. Who are the most feral sports fans? Perhaps the home town crowd at a Philadelphia Phillies game or maybe the Oakland Raiders fans? No, these fanatics would not even get an honorable mention compared to the fans of many sports overseas. In today’s paper, I read about a rugby match where the highly touted Kiwis team was defeated by the Kangaroos 34-20. The Kiwis fans disgraced themselves right from the start by booing at the playing of the Australian national anthem. This was a mere warm up to an ugly display of poor sportsmanship. In addition to the 5 fights that broke out in the stands, the crowd of 44,000 “rained bottles onto the field.” Many of these were full beer bottles and some hit the players. No decent Raider or Phillies fan would throw a beer bottle without having drained it first.

In reality, the American people are the most generous people on earth. We have the greatest military force the world has ever known. Yet, we do not wish to conquer other nations. We tend to be kind, respectful and good natured. The rest of the world seldom gets a glimpse of these traits. The news media will continue to propagate the illusion of the ugly American. President Obama will continue to consider us “enemies”. He will tour the world apologizing for us. He will do so with our money, traveling in a style befitting 19th century royalty. He will do this while 9.6% of our citizens are out of work.

I am damn proud to be an American and look forward to the day we have a President who feels the same.

Party Leadership

The former silent majority did not work our behinds off for the past 20 months just to see Progressive Democrats replaced by establishment, elitist RINOs. We spent our resources (money, time and energy) to get politicians elected who would be fiscally responsible and believe in the Constitution and small government. We DO NOT want the same good old boys running our House.

We elected people who support the Tea Party movement. The RNC establishment fought us almost as much as the Democrats fought us. Specifically, the RNC fought our choices in Alaska, Nevada, Utah, Kentucky and Connecticut along with many others. If the RNC had their way, flip-flop Charlie Crist would be the new Senator from Florida instead of a man of principal, Marco Rubio. Had the Republican leadership truly gotten behind our Tea Party supported candidates, the tsunami on November 2 would have been even larger.

Please, everyone who worked so hard to help save our Republic, do not leave it to these elitist to hand pick themselves as the leadership of the next Congress. We won! Don’t let these guys surrender our cause. A few weeks ago, John Boehner jumped at the first opportunity to claim they could work with President Obama to improve the Health Care Bill if the Republican Party took control of the House. This remark came under immediate and intense criticism by We the People. So, Boehner walked it back. That change of rhetoric does NOT indicate a change of heart. He is a “say whatever” to placate the masses and then do what is best for his own power. Don’t allow these elitist to anoint Boehner. Tell your elected officials who you want to lead the Party you put in the majority.

For what it is worth, here are my choices:

Speaker of the House: Michele Bachmann
House Majority Leader: Paul Ryan
Majority Whip: Jeff Miller
House Rep. Conference: Chairman=Eric Cantor, Vice-Chair=Tom McClintock, Sect.=Jason Chaffetz

Republican Policy Committee Chair: Allen West

Don’t let our victory be watered down. Let’s work to put in place leaders who will represent us and withstand the immense pressures to “compromise” the beliefs they espoused that got them elected.

Diversity in Kuala Lumpur

I spent the day in the company of a 40 year old Muslim woman. She has her own successful tour coordinator business. She is an intelligent business person and speaks at least 3 languages. She was my guide and took me to such places as the Batu Caves, a Hindu holy temple, the King’s palace and a Buddhist temple. She even gave a rubber tree tapping demonstration (kind of like molasses extraction). We ended our day with a visit to the largest Muslim mosque in Malaysia. As I am not a travel writer, it would be fair to ask, “So what?” My point is to convey that I do not have negativity toward Muslims.

This morning before she arrived to pick me up, I was enjoying a leisurely breakfast in the large hotel restaurant. Looking around the room, I saw people that were probably Korean, Japanese, Australian, Thai, Malaysian and a host of other nationalities. I knew there were numerous religions represented in this common space. Having lived for over 20 years in the San Francisco Bay area, I am very comfortable in such a setting. There were business types in suites, tourist in shorts and sandals, men in flowing robes. One young woman was wearing very short shorts and a tank top, not that I noticed.

I was cognizant and appreciative of the sense of trust shared by such a diverse group. We could ignore one another because we had no negative concerns with each other.

At this point a young couple came in and was seated not far from my table. They had a cute little boy barely old enough to sit up in a high chair. The young father was fit and handsome. The mother was wearing a black Burka. Nothing was visible except a partial glimpse of her eyes through the Burka’s slit. In that instant, my emotion went from harmonious to white hot. One word instantaneously overpowered my every thought. That word was ENEMY. This man, not the woman, was my ENEMY. If you do not understand this, I beg you to spend as little as one hour reading about Sharia law.

My tour guide, under Sharia law, could be stoned to death by her husband, father and brothers for being seen in my company. Under Sharia law, a woman who is raped has dishonored her father, brothers or husband and may be put to death. This week, Osama Bin Laden threatened France because of its ban on Burkas.

This intense negativity was fleeting, lasting for less than 5 seconds. However, I thought to myself, thank goodness I do not work for NPR.

Geithner and Zen

I am half way around the world in Bangkok and who do I see yesterday while having breakfast? Tax cheat, little Timmy Geithner. He is in Asia doing dirty work for world governance at the G20 Conference. Okay, for those of you who insist on absolute accuracy in every detail, I did not meet Timmy face-to-face. His picture took up 1/3rd of one page of my morning newspaper. Still it was enough of an encounter to ruin 4 minutes of my vacation.

Thank goodness the next page had a feature on an elderly Zen monk. He is quoted saying that as a 16 year old novice he was required to learn 60 verses by heart, all 4-lines. The first verse follows:

Waking up this morning, I smile.
I know that there are 24 brand new hours for me to live.
I vow to live every moment of the day deeply.
And try to look at everyone with eyes of compassion.

Well, this certainly sounds like a harmonious way of going through life. I thought about it some more and then turned back to the page featuring Mr. Geithner. I still saw a dishonest, conniving, elitist weasel. I guess it takes a few years of practice before the compassion kicks in. I’ll work on it.
