What fight? Constitutional conservatives must join the fight now to unseat President Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. or his Democrat replacement.

I was hoping against hope Obama would win

During the last presidential election I was hoping against hope Obama would win. Yes, I was a constitutional-conservative Republican then, as I am now, and have been since soon after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As soon as it dawned on me that Lyndon Johnson would assume the presidency, I knew I could no longer be a Democrat.

The first and last time I voted for a Democrat

That election, which saw John F. Kennedy become our nation’s president, was the first election I was old enough to vote in and the last in which I voted for a Democrat. I was unable to vote in the last election; the one in which an unknown nobody, Barack Hussein Obama, become our president. The reason I was unable to vote is that I was living in the Philippines at the time and, even though I was properly registered in Orange County California as a Republican and had requested an absentee ballot in a timely manner, I did not receive a ballot for that election. And, no, it was not for lack of a good mailing address.

I used to think Georgia and some of the other states in the South—I was born and raised the South—were the best at working bureaucratic miracles. Not so. But that is a story for another time. Putting the best of all faces on the reason I did not receive an absentee ballot to vote in the last presidential election would be to say it was a California-style, bureaucratic miracle.

They took my right to vote away

In a way, I am glad someone in the Orange County election commission office saw fit not to send me a ballot for that election, because I fear I would have vote for McCain, even though I was sure that if he were elected, that would be the end of the Republican and, hence, conservative chances for national or state public office for many years to come, if not forever.

Looking back to that election and beyond, I am not so sure anymore that I want to see another Republican elected to public office.

Bill “I didn’t have sex with the girl” Clinton was the most conservative since Ronald Reagan

As disturbing and distasteful as the thought is, I believe Bill “I didn’t have sex with the girl” Clinton was the most conservative president we have had since Ronald Reagan, the all-time greatest constitutional-conservative Republican, and second greatest president ever, was in office. To simply call the other two Republicans, George “Read my lips” H. W. Bush and George “Dubya” W. Bush, economic liberals is to stretch the credulity to the breaking point. Ole “Read my lips” was an economic liberal, his son, “Dubya,” was an economic ultraliberal, and I don’t recall either of them vetoing many of the spending bills that came to their desks. Neither man cared much for constitutional niceties either, plus they were both entitlement enthusiasts. Put together, they gave us 12-years of economic liberal hell.

McCain would have been worse than the Bushes

No, the Bushes, as likeable, patriotic, and just in many of their decisions, as they were, they were not by any stretch constitutional conservatives. Sorry to say, I voted for both of them, because I saw them as the lesser of two evils.

Could John McCain be any worse than either of the Bushes? The answer is: yes. John McCain suffers from some of the same diseases that afflicts liberals. While he appears to be a cultural conservative, he appears insipid and a namby-pamby in the face of hard political and economic decisions and, like the Bushes, he is an F.D.R. New Deal-style spendthrift. And, to my knowledge, he, like Obama, has never run even the smallest business or had a job in the private sector.

Still Namby-Pamby McCain was and is a patriot

In his favor I will say John McCain service to his country as a naval aviator during the Vietnam War does recommend him and he certainly deserves our everlasting gratitude. His military service and heroism shows that at one time the man had a fire burning in his belly, but time has all but smothered that fire. Still, military service, of however much heroism, does not a president make, much less a constitutional-conservative president.

All of his experiences brought John McCain to a point in life that, had he been elected president, he might well have destroyed the Republican Party as the party of political conservatism.

We must stand up for what is right; we must join the fight now!

So where does that put us today? As I see it, unless the old guard Republicans in the House and Senate bow to the reality of the truths it has been shown by the modern-day Tea Party, the Republican Party will not win the coming presidential election. To counter that possibility, constitutional conservatives in the House and Senate must join with the Tea Party in supporting a common presidential candidate. Otherwise Obama will get his chance to finish bringing about the revolution his mentors: his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.; Saul Alinsky, the community organizer, author of Rules for Radicals; and Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s United Church of Christ pastor for 12-years; and his other Marxist-socialists associates like Van Jones, the avowed communist; and Bill Ayers, the radical of the Weather Underground Organization faction of the Students for a Democratic Society, and professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education, have been working to bring to fruition for many years.

The time is now to join the fight for freedom and the American way

It is time. Let us join the fight now: today. We must elect a true constitutional-conservative, God-fearing president this time around, as this may be our last chance to save our God-given inalienable rights, our freedom, and the American way.

Agree or disagree?

It takes you through the major points along that timeline of failed leadership by President Obama in the British Petroleum oil spill in the gulf. In this video you will see why the BP oil spill is such a game changer for the political scene in America.

Note: I do not suggest you give money to RightChange.com until they make it clear who is behind their website

God allowed the BP oil spill to teach us a lesson

I believe God has allowed the BP oil spill to happen to America because nothing short of such a calamity would finally show the remainder of the American electorate who still believe in President Obama and his liberal agenda is not the best way to a free lunch. Liberalism (a.k.a. socialism, communism, Marxism) is wrong: dead wrong. The only people it helps is the ruling class. Not a single poor person has ever been given a leg up economically by liberalism. Many have been re-enslaved by liberalism, but none have ever seen their lot improved by liberalism.

A president badly needs business experience before he becomes president

How could anyone expect a man and a party composed of people, 90+% of whom, including the president, have never been the CEO of so much as a Kool-Aid stand, to be able to know how to manage an entity as large as America.

Add to that the man, the president in this case, had three strikes against his abilities to understand and be capable of being the CEO of U.S. government.

I confess I am wrong to say he had three strikes against him. He had a lot more strikes against him.

Here is a short list, though not an exhaustive list, of the strikes against him:

• He is an academic.
• He is an egomaniac.
• He grew up loving Marxism and Marxist leadership.
• He hates America.
• He hates white people, even though his mother was white.
• He attended a church where hate for America, white people, and the Constitution of the United States that was composed and voted on by white people, was loudly proclaimed by his pastor every Sunday and every chance he got outside of church.
• He is a product of Chicago gangster-style government.
• He is believes government is more munificent and intelligent, and, ipso facto, better knows than does the electorate, how to care for you and your needs from cradle to grave; and, as a bonus, it better knows when you should finally repose in your grave than you, your family, and your physician.

Instead of liberals like those, we would do well to listen to God and to those who would conserve His ways. The only way for us to bring back the American exceptionalism that we have lost is to follow the constitutional conservative way. The best hope for us to get started along that way is to elect Republicans—constitutional conservative Republicans—when and where possible. That means no more big spender Republicans like we have been electing for the last twenty plus years.

No more big spenders

We don’t need big spender Republicans in office who will triple the size of the federal government, as did George W. Bush. We need real conservatives.  Do you realize that Bill Clinton was the most conservative president we have had since Ronald Reagan

I think it good that Obama became our president

I must say that I was pleased that we elected Obama as president rather than the Republican John McCain. Had we elected John McCain he would have tried his best to ruined America, just as Obama has tried to do. And he would probably have forever ruined any chance that we would ever believe in the promises of Republicans again. Therefore, I was very pleased when Obama was elected president. He has given us a political enema like no one else could have given us.

God knows, we don’t

God knows when we need to suffer. He knows the right choice of the moment that is most beneficial for the soul. We don’t. We can pray that the coke machine will cough up a coke when we put our money in the slot and it usually will. But God isn’t a coke machine. When you pray to God for a coke, you may get one in answer to your prayer if God thinks it will be good for your soul. God answers our every prayer, He just does always give us the answer we want.

We must remember the lessons that God has taught America through the idiocy of President Obama. That remembrance will be the right change for us.

President Obama has mismanaged the oil spill on purpose

I can’t add this to the strikes list I gave above, but I am convinced that President Obama’s clumsy handling of the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is not the result of his lack of managerial skills but is purposeful. I won’t take the time to go into why he would do such a thing here. But you can probably figure that out yourself. If many of you say you don’t understand why he might do such a thing, I will try to address that subject.  You might have noticed I am not doing much on this blog right now. That is because I am busy trying to make enough money to survive in this economy.

1. The Great Mockery: Climate-change

I had intended to write a longer article to go with this list but chose not to, as I feared such an article would take away from the full impact of this list itself. I will just say that the votes for or against this bill where votes for or against socialism. I say that because nationalized healthcare has always been the last nail in the coffin of freedom.

It is imperative that in order to avoid this free fall into the abyss of slavery to want that we elect leaders and legislators at all levels of government who are strong Constitutional Conservatives and who will bring us back to the path of freedom our founders intended us to follow when first they gave us a Democratic Federal Republican form of government unlike any other the world has ever known.

I firmly believe, as did Ronald Reagan that the goal can be attained only by revitalizing the carcass of the Republican Party. Yes, I said carcass and that is what I meant, for our Republican leadership over the years since Reagan have consistently lead us down the road of socialism that was being charted by the modern day liberal Democrat Party.

If we do not turn our country around in the 2010 elections, we stand to completely lose the freedom our founders. That is to say, the 2010 elections are our last chance, short of armed rebellion, to take back our country and put it on the path of freedom as outlined in our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.

If you do not have a copy of these documents, you will find good copies of them here. Read them. Other than the Holy Bible, they are the most important documents for our guidance as a nation. The world needs us to win this battle, else where will they be able to look for leadership. We must restore our status as the shinning city on the hill.

As further reading in the interests of maintaining our freedoms, I recommend Sean Hannity’s Conservative Victory and David Barton’s Original Intent. Both of these are very informative, relatively short, easy reads. The former is about Obama and defeating his radical agenda, and the second is about the intent of our founders, regarding the courts, the constitution, and religion. I believe that at the cost of very little time and money these two books will inform you without wearing you out.

Educate yourselves. Your elected political leaders and legislators and, with one lone exception, the entrenched national media will not properly educate you. That lone exception is Fox News.

Fox News, like Americans in general and much like our founding fathers before us, is right-leaning, and conservative to out-right libertarian. It is because Fox is a conservative network that prides itself on covering all the more popular sides of the issues in depth that it is the lone national network we can trust to give us most of what we need to know or gives us an idea where to find what is lacking, so we can better preserve the patrimony given us by our founders.

It must be said that we, the people, have not always done a good job of preserving our patrimony, but then we have not always had a network that tells-it-like-it-is as does Fox News.

Inform yourself, then vote your conscience in 2010. A vote for a Constitutional Conservative is a vote for freedom.

Remember in November how your legislators voted.

Failure is not an option. The time is the 2010 election. The 2012 election is too late.

The one recent event that grabbed everyone’s attention was the stunning upset victory by Republican Scott Brown in the race for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts long held by Ted Kennedy. That victory is being hailed across this land as a national victory for political conservatives. It appears some of the first fallout from that Republican victory is the refocusing of President Obama’s view on what America says is job one: the U.S. economy.

It took a cataclysmic event to do it, but if you choose to believe him this time, President Obama is signaling a change in his economic policy.

Here is what the president said in his announcement of his economic policy change.

I’m proposing a simple and common-sense reform, which we’re calling the “Volcker Rule”–after this tall guy behind me. Banks will no longer be allowed to own, invest, or sponsor hedge funds, private equity funds, or proprietary trading operations for their own profit, unrelated to serving their customers. If financial firms want to trade for profit, that’s something they’re free to do. Indeed, doing so–responsibly–is a good thing for the markets and the economy. But these firms should not be allowed to run these hedge funds and private equities funds while running a bank backed by the American people.”

Sounds good, doesn’t it. Now let’s look at who this Paul Volcker fellow is. He is a brilliant economist. I remember Paul Volcker from when he was the Fed Chairman in the Jimmy Carter administration. Making him the Fed Chairman is just about the only good thing I can remember Jimmy Carter doing during his presidency. I remember how Mr. Volcker showed his willingness to do the difficult things that had to be done to change the economic direction the country was headed in when he came into office. He swiftly moved to put a stop to the raging inflation that was threatening at the time. You may recall if you are old enough that Mr. Volcker was successful in stopping that inflationary trend. It took a recession to do it, but he stuck to his guns and got the job done.

So, at first blink, it would appear from that scenario we should expect tough times ahead—as if we haven’t had enough tough economic times already. Assuming Mr. Volker can walk on the economic hot waters we find ourselves in presently, I don’t expect he’ll see much need for making things get much worse before they get better, although that may well be in the offing rather we like it or not.

What I do foresee is that, since this man knows his job, we can expect he will see to it that what needs to be done is done, if, that is, the president gives him the power to do the job by appointing him his Fed Chairman. There are rumblings around Democratville that the present Fed Chairman, Mr. Bernanke, may be on the way out but that does not assure that Mr. Volker will get the job in his stead. So that is the big question, will the president give Paul Volcker the power to do the job or is he just kidding us again.

I say we can hope the president will keep his word this one time, but I won’t count on it. The man is an ideologue and the latest wind out of his mouth indicates he is not going to step back from what he sees as the best socialistic policies yet devised to turn America into just another failed European-style socialist country.

Gosh, I hope I am wrong about that. I hope he got a call from President Clinton telling him it is time to change course if he wants to be a two term president and that he took that advice to heart. I hope but not that much that he got the call and that he listened and understood, and took to heart that sage advice from the savviest political mind to live in the Whitehouse since President Ronald Reagan.

Still, I will be one happy fellow and a strong supporter of the president on this one issue, if he does keep his promise this one time to strengthen our republic by being tougher on banks and other financials, but only if he does it for all the right reasons.

We need a true believer in the Whitehouse; a true believer in the republican way the founding fathers of our republic gave us in the Constitution of these United States. When he is not spewing hate, Mr. Obama appears to be a nice American gentleman. We need to see more of that nice American gentleman and less of the hatemonger we have so often seen in the past.

If I could speak with the president, I would tell him to join in with us in our victory celebration. I would say that he has said more than once that what is good for America is good for him. I would tell him now is the time to show the truth of that statement before his time has run its course.

The president should appoint Paul Volcker Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank.

With a lot of journalists, plus delegates and advocates heading for the big meet up there, Copenhagen is being billed as the Earth’s last chance to curb the carbon footprint we humans are accused of exacerbating everyday by using of common everyday conveniences and conveyances like cheap coal-generated electricity and gasoline- and diesel-fueled cars and trucks.

The organizers of this extravagant outing to Copenhagen hope to produce binding caps on emissions, global taxation to redistribute trillions of dollars, and micromanage everyone’s choices of almost everything; and what they forget to micromanage this time, they will surely not overlook at next opportunity.

Just to give you a hint of how the players are lining up to help, here is what the top two players on the world stage have in mind. China will give a tiny bit by promising to reduce its carbon footprint, which means in effect its emissions will continue to rise; while, on the other hand, our lord-high, ultraliberal ruler, B. Hussein Obama, understanding well the histrionics required in climate-change debates, promises that U.S. emissions in 2050 will be 83 percent below 2005 levels. If that happens, it will mean 2050 emissions will be equal to those of 1910, when there were about 92 million Americans. But there will be closer to 420 million American in 2050, which means that for Obama’s promise to be fulfilled per capita emissions then will have to be about what they were in 1875. Folks. That. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. So why will B. Hussein promise that? Well, that’s just the measure of man; that’s why

Newly discovered emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) in Britain—a collaborator with the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—reveals some scientists’ willingness to deliberately exclude or knead data and manipulate the peer-review process and publication of scholarly work. The CRU materials reveal how their paranoid scientists believe that in trying to engineer a consensus about global warming, they are a brave and persecuted minority. This is without a doubt the first time in peacetime history that the government-media-academic complex has been in such an enduring propaganda-mongering lockstep about any subject.

An odd lesson is to be found in the CRU materials: Climate scientists should not let themselves be goaded by the irresponsibility of deniers into overstating the certainties of complex science or, worse, censoring discussion of them.” Do you think these scientists overstated and censored because they were “goaded” by skepticism?

If their science as undisputable as they insist it is, and if the consensus among scientists is as broad as they say it is, and if they were brave as they claim to be, they would not be “goaded” into such intellectual depravity. Nor would they gaudily bandy the word “deniers” to decry skepticism that shocks communicants in the faith-based global warming community.

Skeptics about the shrill certitudes concerning catastrophic man-made warming are skeptical because climate change is constant: From time immemorial down to the Medieval Warm Period (800 to 1300), through the Little Ice Age (1500 to 1850), and ever since, climate change has always been a certainty. Skeptics doubt that scientists’ models, which cannot explain the present, can infallibly map the distant future.

In a peculiar response to the CRU materials, The Financial Times wrote: The scientific case for alarm about global warming “is growing more rather than less compelling.” Meanwhile the CRU wrote in an email that: “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment”—this “moment” is in its second decade—”and it is a travesty that we can’t.”

The travesty is the intellectual arrogance of the authors of climate-change models that are partially based on the problematic practice of reconstructing long-term prior climate changes. It is on such models they want us to wager trillions of dollars—and a substantially diminished freedom.

Some climate scientists compound their delusions of intellectual adequacy with messiah complexes; supposing themselves a small intelligentsia entrusted with the most urgent truth ever discovered. That being the case, some of them consider it virtuous to embellish facts, exaggerate certainties, suppress inconvenient data, and manipulate the peer-review process to suppress scholarly dissent and, above all, to declare that the debate is over.

Consider the sociology of science, the push and pull of interests, incentives, appetites and passions. Governments’ attempts to manipulate Earth’s temperature now comprise one of the world’s largest industries. Tens of billions of dollars are being dispensed by the U.S. Energy Department, which has suddenly become, in effect, a huge venture capital operation, speculating in green technologies. Political, commercial, academic, and journalistic prestige and advancement can be contingent on not disrupting the (claimed) consensus that is driving the gigantic and fabulously lucrative industry of repelling global warming.

Copenhagen is the culmination of all the prior maneuvering by people determined to fix the world’s climate by breaking the world’s—and especially America’s—resistance to the ever-more-minute supervision by governments. It is not as if Copenhagen will be the last chance of the climate-change crowd; Copenhagen is meant to be a prologue for the 2010 climate change summit in Mexico City, which will be planet Earth’s last chance, until the next one.

Folk, do you suspect a one-world collectivist government is the real endgame being played out by the liberals in this government-media-academic complex, which hopes to deliver binding caps on emissions, global taxation to redistribute trillions of dollars, and micromanage everyone’s choices of almost everything? All of a sudden there appears to be an international consensus gaining momentum that believes this is the endgame of all this climate-change hysteria that has been espoused by such liberals as, former V.P. Albert Gore.

Think about it; it is true that almost to a man, everyone involved in this government-media-academic complex has a liberal bias, and it is true that liberals—like Obama, Albert Gore, and, don’t forget, Jimmie Carter and Bill Clinton—always think that government is the answer to all our ills, and they are sure we can not survive, much less flourish, without their help and guidance.

It would appear that “Climate-change” or “Global Warming,” as it is frequently known has now been shown for “The Great Mockery” it is and quite possibly the greatest mockery the world has ever known.

I have an idea that this farce is far from over. Let us hope though that its defeat is in the offing.
