WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system

Barach Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. 

Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.

-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

 OBAMA FINDS LEGAL WAY AROUND THE 2ND AMENDMENT AND USES IT

While you were glued to your TV set watching the oil spill, the New York failed terrorist bombing, and other/non critical crises on Fox news, Hillary Clinton was off on official gov business and secretly signed the small arms treaty with the UN.


IF THIS PASSES, THERE COULD BE WAR


On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States


On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms. The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened.


Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth?


What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress.
First:We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public.


2nd: We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership.


3rd: we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment. This has happened in other countries, past and present!


THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A FALSE WARNING.


As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will be gun control. Read the Article U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto. The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

Democrats,  Republicans, EVERYONE ! !

To President  Obama and all 535 voting  members of the Legislature,

It is now  official you are ALL corrupt morons:  

    *   The U.S.  Post Service was established in 1775. You have  had 234
years to get it right and it is  broke. 
    *   Social  Security was established in 1935.  You have had 74 years to
get it right and it is  broke. 
    *   Fannie Mae  was established in 1938. You have had 71 years  to get
it right and it is broke. 
    *   War on  Poverty started in 1964. You  have had 45 years to get it
right; $1 trillion  of our money is confiscated each year  and transferred to
"the poor" and they only want  more. 
    *   Medicare  and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have  had 44
years to get it right and they are  broke. 
    *   Freddie  Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39  years to get
it right and it is broke. 
    *   The  Department of Energy was created in 1977 to  lessen our
dependence on foreign oil. It has  ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of 
$24 billion a year and we import more oil than  ever before. You had 32
years to get it right  and it is an abysmal failure.

You have  FAILED in every "government service" you have  shoved down our
throats while overspending our  tax dollars

AND YOU  WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED  WITH A
GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE  SYSTEM??

GINGRICH: Obama 'most radical president ever'...

LIMBAUGH: Obama 'inflicting untold damage on this great country'...

MARK LEVIN: Obama 'Closest Thing to Dictator We've Ever Had'...

PALIN: Obama's 'vast nuclear experience he acquired 'community organizer'...

LIZ CHENEY: Obama Putting America on 'Path to Decline'...

HANNITY: Obama 'Is a Socialist'...

SAVAGE: 'Obama The Destroyer'...

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008  11:48:04 EST,  Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Fla g.

 

General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".

 

NOW GET THIS !! - - - - -

 

'Senator' Obama replied:
 

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.

 

(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???) 
 

Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'.  If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it.  In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.   If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps astate or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ."  (Recall that he does not wear an American flag pin in his lapel.  He wears a pin using a scattered design of the red, white and blue colors, a redesigned flag in effect.)

 

When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".  (Recall that he is said to be a Muslim posing as a Christian for political reasons.)

 

"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path.. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family.  Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "

The 13 Main Alinsky Tactics

1. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the experience of your people.
3. Whenever possible go outside the experience of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics, and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Fence Post Turtle

 

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old southerner, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our President.

The  old southerner said, "Well, ya’ll know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."

Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, “What's a "Post Turtle?"

The old southerner said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old southerner saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. “You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place…”

ten of the changes needed to make ObamaCare acceptable.

What’s the purpose of the health summit — bringing the president and Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders together? The Republicans hoped it meant we would start over. Toss out the highly defective legislation that has been working its way through the House and Senate and begin anew with a clean slate.
The White House is rejecting that idea. Apparently, all they want is to ascertain the minimum changes they have to accept in order to get a bill passed.
Okay. Here are ten of the changes needed to make ObamaCare acceptable.

1. Establish Equality Under the Law. That means everyone should be treated equally. Specifically: Treat every Medicare enrollee the same. There should be no special subsidy for Medicare Advantage members in Florida, while millions of seniors are losing their coverage in other states.
   Treat every Medicaid enrollee the same. There should be no federal bailout of Nebraska’s Medicaid expansion, while other states are forced to pay their own way.
   Treat every taxpayer the same. There should be no tax on some workers, while exempting others because they happen to be longshoremen or members of other unions.
   
   
2. Drop Individual and Employer Mandates. Remember Barack Obama’s admonition to Hillary Clinton: We should not require people to buy something they cannot afford and then fine them when they don’t buy it. Further, we should not have one set of rules for carpenters, plumbers and bricklayers, while a more generous set of rules applies to employees of every other small business. Accordingly, we should: Replace the mandates with a fair and efficient system of economic incentives. We should provide generous financial support through the federal tax system to make health insurance affordable for every American.
   Give all insurance the same subsidy — regardless of where it is purchased. We should treat all insurance the same — whether it is provided through an employer, purchased in the marketplace or acquired in a health insurance exchange.
   Give every individual the same subsidy — regardless of how insurance is obtained. We should treat all individuals at the same income level the same — regardless of where they obtain their insurance. (See details in my commentary, “Level the Playing Field for U.S. Health Insurance.”)
   
   
3. Encourage Comprehensive Coverage for Seniors. We should encourage rather than discourage Medicare Advantage plans, which give seniors access to the type of broad comprehensive coverage most nonseniors have. We should encourage, rather than tax, employers’ supplemental Medicare benefits.
4. Allow Health Insurance to be Sold Across State Lines. We should encourage a national market for health insurance, allowing the citizens of each state access to the types of products routinely sold in the other 49 states. (See details in the NCPA Brief Analysis, “How to Create a Competitive Insurance Market.”)
5. Encourage Personal and Portable Insurance. We should end the current practice of barring employers from purchasing the type of insurance employees most want and need: insurance they own and can take with them as they go from job to job and in and out of the labor market. (See details in the NCPA Brief Analysis, “Personal and Portable Health Insurance.”)
6. Allow Private Insurance Alternatives to Medicaid and S-CHIP. Instead of trapping more children and more families in public health plans that all too often ration care by waiting, we should make those dollars available to subsidize private coverage which gives patients access to the full range of medical providers and facilities. (See details in the NCPA Policy Report, “Opportunities for State Medicaid Reform.”)
7. Allow Special Health Savings Accounts for the Chronically Ill. One of the most successful Medicaid pilot programs is Cash and Counseling, under which the homebound and disabled manage their own budget and are free to hire and fire those who provide them with services. We should use this experience as a model to liberate the chronically ill and empower them in a newly-competitive medical marketplace. (See details in a previous Health Alert on chronic illness and Health Savings Accounts.)
8. Allow Health Insurance Plans to Specialize in Solving the Problems of the Chronically Ill. Instead of requiring health plans to treat all enrollees as though they were the same, we should encourage special needs plans that specialize in treating the health problems of the chronically ill. (See details in a previous Health Alert on chronic illness and Health Savings Accounts.)
9. Allow Employers and Their Employees to Prefund Post-Retirement Health Care. Although one-third of baby boomer workers have an employer promise of post-retirement health care, almost none of these promises have been funded. We should allow employers to help their retirees obtain personally-owned, portable insurance for their retirees and to build up funds in order to keep their promises. (See details in a previous Health Alert, “What to Do About Early Retirees.”)
10. Enact Sensible Malpractice Reform. Encourage a health care system in which victims of unexpected adverse events are promptly compensated by episode-specific insurance and in which providers and facilities have economic incentives to reduce medical errors — without the need of lawyers, judges, jurors and courthouses. (See details in the chapter, “Five Steps to Liability by Contract,” from the NCPA’s Handbook on State Health Care Reform.)

Who Really Doesn’t Understand ObamaCare?

by John Goodman

From the very moment public opinion started going south on the president’s health plan, the White House and Democrat leaders in Congress began sounding a familiar refrain: The public does not understand the bill; they’ve been lied to, deceived and misled by the opponents; and once they learn how it really works, familiarity will breed…well, something other than contempt.
I have four problems with this point of view:

1. If it is sincere, you would think the Obama Administration would have made a major effort to educate the public about how the bill really works; in fact, they have made no effort whatsoever.
2. Since ObamaCare is modeled after the Massachusetts health plan, voters in that state should be better informed than even Obama himself about how it “really works”; yet Massachusetts voters resoundingly rejected the president’s plan in Tuesday’s U.S. Senate election.
3. There was a lot of misleading information flying in all directions at last summer’s town hall meetings; but on balance, the average protestor appeared to be better informed than the average member of Congress.
4. Among the chattering class — who are paid to express informed opinion — the proponents of ObamaCare are far less knowledgeable than the opponents. 
5. Cognoscenti are in the Dark. Let’s take the last point first. How many editorials have you seen where the writer rattles off a laundry list of health care problems and then concludes with “that’s why we need health reform”? Each of these editorials makes the same two mistakes: (1) They assume that ObamaCare will solve the problems they are writing about and (2) they assume it’s either ObamaCare or nothing. This second mistake is called the fallacy of the excluded middle. As we have pointed out many times, ObamaCare is not going to solve our most serious problems. It will make costs higher, not lower. It will lower, rather than raise, the quality of care. It will “solve” the problems of pre-existing conditions by substituting problems that are even worse. And it may not even increase access to care.
   Then there are the writers who bypass the details altogether and jump straight to wild claims. Here are two:
   
   [ObamaCare] will give Americans what citizens in every other advanced nation already have — guaranteed access to essential care.
   

   	Paul Krugman
   	in The New York Times

   For the first time, we will enshrine the principle that all Americans deserve access to medical care, regardless of their ability to pay.
   

   	Eugene Robinson
   	in The Washington Post

   Now you would think that anyone who hasn’t been living in a cave in some remote spot would know that access to the care they need is exactly what many Canadians and Britains do not have. And if they do not have the money to buy that care in the private sector or in another country, they are forced to go without because of lack of “ability to pay.”
   Bay State Folks Know What’s Happening in Their State. We don’t have to go all the way to Britain or Canada to see where Krugman, Robinson and others have missed the boat, however. Massachusetts will do just fine. Bay Staters are not clamoring to repeal what they have. But they are acutely aware of the problems that haven’t been solved. And one of them is lack of access to care for people who lack the ability to pay market prices. As previously noted, the wait to see a new doctor in Boston is more than twice as long as in any other U.S. city. Further, the number of people going to emergency rooms for nonemergency care in Massachusetts is as great today as it was before health reform was enacted.
   The White House is Doing Nothing to Educate the Public. It’s not just the general public that is being kept in the dark. Obama is the same way with his base. Since June, the president has been sending a weekly e-mail to an estimated 19 million faithful about health care. Strangely, these letters are never truly educational. Instead they are cheerleading messages — the sort of thing you would expect at a pep rally. (By contrast, the NCPA’s weekly messages to 1.3 million petition signers tend to be very informative.)
   Voters on the Whole are Very Informed. There has probably never been a major piece of legislation before Congress about which voters were better informed. I continue to believe that the average “activist” who opposes the bill knows more about it than his/her congressional representative. Rasmussen found that after an initial poll question, people were just as negative — if not more so — when pollsters described ObamaCare in some detail.
   As Lanny Davis said the other day, “It’s the substance, stupid.”
    

Makes You Wonder Doesn't It?

Makes You Wonder Doesn't It?

Have you wondered why Barack Hussein Obama has insisted that the U.S. Attorney General hold the trials for the 911 Murdering Muslims Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common Criminals instead of as Terrorists who attacked the United States of America?

Think about this:

If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in Military Tribunals, convicted, and sentenced to DEATH by the Military Tribunal, BY LAW of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, as President of the United States, would be required to SIGN their Death Warrants before they could be EXECUTED.. He would not be required to sign the death warrants if sentenced to death by a Civilian Court .

Think about the Muslim Jihadist, Major Hassan who slaughtered his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas.  Major Hassan did not want to go to Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of fellow Muslims.

He stated that Muslims could not and should not KILL FELLOW MUSLIMS.

Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama's decision to make sure he doesn't have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States, not want to sign the death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and MURDERED over 3,000 innocent United States Citizens on 911?  Could it be that he is FORBIDDEN BY HIS RELIGION to have anything to do with the execution of Muslims?

Here comes the judge

Federal Judge Carter sets Trial Date for Obama's Eligibility!

The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26,2010! 

Many concerned veterans and citizens attended the hearing in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief.  About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people.

Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama's request for dismissal. He indicated there was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you can believe that.  Obama would prefer a "kangaroo court" instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama's motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner (if he has one).              

The judge, WHO IS A FORMER U.S. MARINE, repeated several times that this is A VERY SERIOUS CASE which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this time of war. He basically said OBAMA MUST PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY to the court! He said Americans deserve to know the truth about their President!  

The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times. Obama's attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.       

Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution!  The truth about Barack Obama's eligibility will be known fairly soon - Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!  

Video from the press conference after the hearing coming soon. Congratulations to plaintiffs attorney Dr. Orly Taitz! She did a great job and won some huge victories.  She was fearless!

New CAFE Standards

President Obama’s New CAFE Standards May Cause More Harm Than Good

NCPA Expert Explains New Standards Will Reduce Consumer Choice, Increase Auto Price and Increase Fatalities

Dallas (May 19, 2009) - The Obama Administration's announcement today of new mileage and pollution standards is a disgraceful attempt to court environmental votes by reducing consumer choice, according to H. Sterling Burnett, Senior Fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis. Because the government now has so much control over two of the major companies it can extort the industry into not objecting.

President Obama's tightening of national program for higher Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards is part of his plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change and ease U.S. dependence on oil. These new standards include an increase in fuel efficiency targets to 35.5 miles per gallon for new passenger vehicles and light trucks by 2016, four years earlier than required under the 2007 energy bill.

"People have the choice to purchase fuel efficient cars if they want them," Burnett said.
