Obama’s Socialist Agenda Places Freedom Of Speech In Jeopardy

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The first amendment of the Constitution of the United States ratified on December 15, 1791. One of the ten bill of rights. Noticeably, the very first one. Deemed as absolutely one of the most important aspects of a free society and maintaining it. Without freedom of speech we are all slaves to our government. If we do not have the right to speak out or assemble freely, then freedom is lost.

Every dictator that has ever tried or succeeded in taking control of its people and their assets did so by first taking away freedom of speech and controlling the news media. Hitler’s Third Reich excelled in state-run media and propaganda. Stalin used the media to further his brutal regime. Throughout history, there is a multitude of instances where people were enslaved, by first making it illegal to speak out against the ruling party. It is a tried and proven formula.

Our founding father’s were very well aware of the power of free speech and chose to place this idea as first on the list of freedoms guaranteed by our constitution. These freedoms were fought for and sacrificed with blood, by the first patriots that helped to form this country that we now know as the United States of America. Freedom of speech is the most cherished of our basic rights. In this country we have had the privilege to speak out in public about our own government. Even those that denounce us have that same right, much to our own chagrin. Even so, it is what makes this country so exceptional in the world arena.

Our countrymen have fought for and died to preserve this right for you and I. It is not to be taken lightly. Freedom is a fleeting thing. It can be taken away from you right in front of your very nose. Hugo Chavez is right at this very moment using this tactic to turn Venezuela into a Marxist society. He has closed down much of the public media and imprisoned some of the owners for their anti-government press. He has authorized his puppet government to take control of public business’s and taken over their assets. He is aligning his government with other communist country’s like Cuba, China and the former Soviet Union, which looks as if it is headed back to its old communist regime.

This is happening at a time in history when we have the internet with all of its mass media and information available at the push of a button instantaneously. One would think it inconceivable that this sort of Marxist takeover could even occur with the knowledge available to the people of the world, but it happens even so. A figure in history; Jim Jones of the infamous Jonestown massacre, had a sign placed prominently over his pulpit that read; “Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” This is the absolute truth.

The liberal news media in this country has been attempting to sway the public opinion of the Obama administration from day one and is singularly responsible for the outcome of the last election and since the passage of the health care reform bill, they have started a constant stream of propaganda aimed squarely at the opposition to this administration and the current Congress that pushed this bill through without the support of the majority.

Legislation is currently being proposed by Congress that would reinstate a federal communications policy known as the “fairness doctrine.” This legislation is a rehash of a bill first proposed in 1949 and is called; the “Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1993. At first glance, it’s purpose is to equalize topics of discussion, to give a balanced presentation of conflicting news stories on radio and news broadcasts. It appears to have a sinister side as well. If enacted, it gives the FCC bureaucrats unprecedented power to control what can be said on the air waves. This is a dangerous step towards censorship and controlling the press by the federal government.

The Tea Party movement has now been targeted by the left, as a radical group and the left has been quoted as saying that they may be encouraging extremists. The recent coordinated crack down by the FBI on the Christian Militia group in Michigan, who are accused of plotting to undermine the federal government, has been blown all out of proportion by the mainstream news media in an apparent attempt to associate anyone speaking out against the Obama administration’s agenda with a small group of people who are extremists, thus trying to minimize the role of the Tea Party movement in the upcoming midterm elections. Even from day one, the right has been associated with violence and “Brown Shirts.” This from Speaker Pelosi herself.

Obama recently said that the protesters were mostly “birthers” and people who think he is a socialist. The state-run news media plays right along with his ideology. Now we are deemed as; racist-haters. The power of the press is very obvious and if you can control it, you are in a position to control what people think and substitute your own doctrine.

Recently, Obama said publicly that the radio talk shows like Rush Limbaugh and Shaun Hannity need to tone down the rancor about his policies. Is this now the agenda of this administration, to curtail freedom of speech? These are indeed scary times for the very last bastion of freedom on this planet.

Clearly the majority of American people have come to their senses and realized what is going on. The very fabric of liberty has been torn. The Constitution of the United States has been assaulted by this administration and we as a people need to stand up against this attack on our freedom before it is too late.

The Game Is Afoot. Can We Survive Obama’s Agenda?

To quote an old Sherlock Holmes movie line; “The game is afoot!” Having had time to look at the passage of some extraordinary legislation in the guise of health care reform, with all of the overt bribes, backroom dirty deals and bending or much worse, violating our sacred document of liberty; the United States Constitution. The mystery behind the bill and its subsequent passage, just gets deeper. Like an old Sherlock Holmes movie, it may take someone of his capabilities as a super-sleuth to unravel it all.

Many questions about why it was passed and the contents of it will be examined for sometime to come, hopefully exposing the unconstitutionally of it and ultimately leading to a repeal. This single piece of legislation may very well be the catalyst that causes the fall of the Obama Presidency, but not before the very fabric of democracy in this country is destroyed. The process of passage wrought with more corruption than any past session of Congress on record, begs to be fought in the courts for some time to come.

What stands out like a sore thumb is the urgency of its passage. Deadlines, time frames, trip after trip to the heartland to try to sell this hostile takeover of our medical system to the American people and now that is passed, yet another attempt by the President to make it all seem okay to the public. But it is not. We didn’t want it then and we don’t want it now. That is all too clear to even the most stubborn liberal Democrat out there. Why then was it so urgent to pass it so quickly? Like the stimulus bill and TARP, it had to be passed right away, we could not afford to wait. There seems to be a pattern here.

The health care reform bill is unique in that it will require us to start paying into this thing, that no one is exactly sure what it is about or how it will be implemented. Like Speaker Pelosi said; “ We have to pass it to find out what is in it.” Doesn’t it bother anyone to pay into something before it even becomes available? Whatever it is? Like making the payments on a car for four years before you can even drive it. As it will not arrive in whatever form it is until 2014. In essence we will be paying for something that is literally not there. Sound familiar? Remember a guy named Bernie Madoff? Who not long ago was convicted of fleecing people out of billions of dollars of their money, by selling them investments that were not really there. It is a called a “Ponzi Scam”. He is in prison now.

The amount of money that we are talking about is not chump change. No one knows for sure how much we will be taxed and make no mistake this is a tax. The question remains, what will become of this money that we will pay to the Federal Government? Is it going to sit around for four years and no one touch it until the time comes for the bill to kick in? I doubt very seriously that will occur. Not with our money hungry Congress. They have tapped into every fund ever established by themselves for one reason or another. There is no magical lock box.

So what is “afoot” here? Like a magician who uses smoke and mirrors to pull off the illusion of magic, we are being subjected to the very same thing. Apparently our Government leaders think that we are all fools and that we will not notice what they are really up to. There has to be a hidden agenda behind his all to apparent agenda. Socialism. We are in debt and maybe this is a ruse to pay off creditors. Hopefully the truth will come out.

Now that the bill has passed and the public has risen up against this thing, with great zeal, the liberal left has started a campaign to take the pressure off of them and place it on the Republicans and their fringe. The media has now clearly painted a picture of all those that oppose this bill as racist-haters. The description is running through the media like wildfire and it is a blatant lie. This is an attempt at a diversion to take the heat off of them so that they can get on with the next item on their agenda.

What is amazing is their total disregard for the unemployed and the attention needed to turn the job market around. What they are in all actuality doing, is killing jobs. These tax increases are going to make an already volatile job market even shakier. It will drive business out of this country, to places where the tax burden is not as severe on industry. All of this makes the mystery become even deeper. Is this administration deliberately trying to destroy our economy? Are they deliberately destroying jobs? They are certainly driving a wedge between the middle class and industry.

They have also started the process to gut our strategic defense, which the former Soviet Union is ready to make a deal with and with much gusto, to reduce the number of nuclear weapons that we have in our inventory. They have also treated our allies in the other parts of the world with utter contempt, as shown with the recent meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and are trying to appease dictators and tyrants in their stead. Everything that this administration is doing makes no sense to a rational person and yet there appears to be a pattern. They are selling us out. The game is indeed “afoot” and the spoils go to the victor in this most serious of all games ever played with our country’s freedom at stake.

When November elections arrive, we must decide how best to rid our country of these tyrants once and for all, and ensure that their legacy is ended. Our incoming Congress needs to be made aware that this behavior exhibited by the current members will no longer be tolerated by the American people.

You won’t like it when you get there.

First in a series of stories of; where we have already been and where we may be heading.

Vladimir Illich Ulyanov (later known as Lenin) was born in Simbirsk, Russia, on April 10, 1870. He and several other men forever changed the political and social direction that Russia was headed into.

Lenin was a radical who studied politics at various universities in Russia and became influenced by the teachings of Karl Marx. He wanted change in the country which was then an autocracy.

The first great war broke out in 1914 setting the stage for revolution at the hands of the Social Democratic Labor Party, the Bolsheviks and other socialist groups of the day. In 1917 the country was reeling economically from the war and the time was right for revolution. During this time of social unrest, labor strikes and governmental breakdown, the framework for what would become the new Soviet Union was formed.

Lenin in a speech in 1917 urged the peasants of Russia, to take the land from their rich landlords and for the industrial workers to seize the factories.

Ideas such as these shocked Russia’s revolutionaries. Most had supported ideas by Karl Marx that a communist revolution could only take place in an advanced capitalist country with a politically charged working class. It was also believed at the time that a revolution led by a small elite would result in a military dictatorship.

Lenin at various times was instrumental in forming the new government and at the same time was on the run for various charges including being a spy. He was on the rise to power when he was shot and left paralyzed on one side of his body. He needed to have some one that he trusted be his spokesman and elected a follower of his, named Joseph Stalin, who soon took over as Secretary General and went on to be the Supreme Dictator of the Soviet Union.

The country went through a series of bloody internal conflicts and Lenin finally died in 1924.

Stalin set himself up as the head of the country and realized that the only way to remain in power was to eliminate the opposition. Most were sent into exile and the rest were rounded up on false charges and executed. He formed the secret police and used them to protect him and inflict terror on the population to gain control. Lenin’s vision of a working class controlling the government was shattered by a power hungry butcher who now ruled the working class with an iron fist. No one dared oppose him under threat of death.

Karl Marx’s idealized world of communism and Lenin’s vision of a united workers union were no where in sight and in the end, Stalin’s government had none of these elements at all. Millions of innocent people were slaughtered at the hands of this man, the exact amount may never be known. He was ruthless and feared by many and maintained a tight grip on the people for many years.

All of this despair brought about by someone wanting change. No society is perfect, but by far the best system of government that was a boon to prosperity and the development of a group of people from a small beginning to the leader of the free world, is the United States of America. Our system of government has been successful for over two hundred years. People have a voice in government and through a system of checks and balances set up by a few very smart and wise men, this government has weathered many challenges successfully.

Now we face a great threat to our way of life as we know it. The system of checks and balances is broken. Our government, that was set up to serve us is now in a position to control us. Our leadership has abused it’s powers and is tightening it’s control over us at an alarming rate and we as the citizens of this great nation will have to stand up to this or watch our freedom disappear. The time is now.

Change to some, is the end of all as the rest of us know it. Do you want to go down the same dark path as Russia did? Do we have a new Lenin among us? Do we need the kind of change that we are seeing unfold with our very eyes. This is the greatest nation on the face of the earth! A beacon for all of the oppressed! Rise to the occasion Patriots! Stand down the threat that faces us!
