Obama said in his speech in Germany,

“I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.”

But I also know how much I love America.”

Who’s he trying to kid? He doesn’t love America. He’s a Liberal–a euphemism for Socialist Progressive; a Fascist. He would prefer to see the America you and I know in ashes.

If Liberals really loved America, they wouldn’t be working so hard to:

–deny us the right to use our own resources.

–remove all religious expression from the public square.

–establish complete control over every aspect of our lives.

–limit our freedom of expression.

–deny us the right to keep and bear arms.

–deny us the right to defend ourselves by any means necessary.

–extend the rights of Americans to her enemies.

–obstruct any movement to protect our borders.

–elect a President who has ties to domestic terrorists, con artists, and Christian Marxists.

–dismantle the America that once inspired greatness, and replace it with an America that caters to the basest proclivities of Man.

In essence, Liberals don’t love America, they love only what they think America should be, according to their vision.

They cry foul when anyone questions their patriotism. Hogwash. They aren’t patriotic. Go research the word patriotic, and you’ll understand.

They are dissenters, but they are not loyal. They preach sedition, and then want the protections reserved for the truly loyal.

It’s about time we stopped playing their word games and called a duck, a duck.

I’ve been thinking over the weekend.

I’m proposing that we keep July 2nd as Resolution Day. It was on July 2nd that the Continental Congress passed the resolution to become independent from Great Britain. John Adams thought that July 2nd should forever be celebrated with fireworks and parades. Instead, we adopted the 4th, the day the Declaration was actually signed, as the day we celebrate.

But July 2nd should have a different meaning for us. It should give us cause to reflect on why we signed that declaration. What did declare our Independence from?

If you will recall, at the time of the signing, Great Britain was in control of the colonies. She ruled us under the Monarchy of King George. One of the reasons mentioned as the cause of our troubles was that the King had become mentally ill. And certainly his edicts demonstrate that his ability to reason may have been compromised. One example is his paranoid response to the “Olive Branch” petition sent by Congress. He believed the Congress was being led by a group of conspirators. At the time, nothing could have been further from the truth.

But keep in mind, also, that Britain not only ruled us politically, but economically. She controlled our imports, our exports, our weights and measures, and our shipping and trade. The Boston Tea Party was a protest against being forced to buy English tea, which purchase was then subject to taxation. It was a way to indirectly force the colonies to pay the tax, and the colonists hated it.

In fine, the English controlled what we could buy and sell and to whom. It was, from the viewpoint of the colonies, a state-controlled economy. The state controlled the means of production and distribution within the colonies.

Whether they knew it at the time or not, our Founding Fathers were rebelling against a form of limited, focused socialism. It was something they were not used to, and they rightly saw it as a threat to their economic well-being.

The Declaration of Independence enumerates several specific grievances against the king, all of which culminate in a final charge of tyranny.

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

As you read each of those grievances, compare them to the complaints that come out of socialist governments. I think you will find they are very similar. We fought a war to rid ourselves of this kind of illegitimate government. Why, then, do we now accept it as the “natural evolution” of our system of government?

Our Founding Fathers were not so unwise as to be blind to the possibilities which their vision might one day create. The government that the liberals and Barak Obama would foist upon unsuspecting Americans will bring the same results that we petitioned against in 1776. It is not the government our Founders created.

To bring this to a point, I propose a day of reflection to occur every July 2. It will be called Resolution Day, a day to renew our resolve to never allow ourselves or any person live under any form of tyranny forever. It will be a day to relearn and celebrate our heritage and our history, and a day to expose and reject those forms of government that are calculated to bring people under the yoke of bondage. It will become a precursor to Independence Day, when we celebrate the realization of our struggle for Liberty.

My Resolution begins now. Patrick Henry once said, “Give me Liberty, or give me Death!” To his words I add the following: “Be forewarned, for Liberty is as Life to me, and I will defend both with blood, be it mine or my enemy’s.”

Here’s a fine example of why Barak Obama must be defeated in November. With morons like this guy supporting his positions, we’ll all soon be enjoying the fruits of American Liberalism–we’ll all be dirt poor, our standard of living will fall through the floor, we will see the rise of a new European lifestyle in the big cities of America, and abject poverty and death in the small towns, the jobless rate will skyrocket, and crime rates will follow, and a depression far deeper and more vast will begin here in America as corporations move overseas, and will engulf the entire global economy that will last for at least 4 years.

This is why the Electoral College is so vitally important–more so now than ever. If it were up to the educated idiots who live in places like New York and Los Angeles, the rest of the country would have become a trash heap long ago. These people think nothing exists beyond what they can see from the tallest skyscraper. To their understanding, there are no wide stretches of open land in America. There is only a 200-mile stretch once you leave New York before you get to L.A. The only reason they don’t travel there via ground transportation is because the subways don’t connect.

Sean Hannity repeated a quote by someone, I forget who, who could not understand how a Republican could win in an election, when nobody they knew voted for them. It’s the same principle on a larger scale. They don’t believe anything exists outside their own little sphere.

And the sphere includes not just space, but time as well. They are completely ignorant of the lessons of experience and history. You can’t point out to them how the policies of Barak Obama are not much more than Jimmy Carter’s policies revisited, and therefore will have a similar effect. The difference is that because of this lame-brained tendency to refuse to learn the correct lessons, they think these policies will work this time if only they try harder, or work at making government even larger and more powerful, or take more of our money. They think it will be different because the people involved are different.

Barak Obama is a full-blown Marxist. If he gets elected, America will have fulfilled Nikita Khrushchev’s prediction of one day becoming a Communist nation by our own stupidity:

You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.

Given the behavior of the current Democratic leadership, and the goals of Barak Obama and his liberal friends, is there any wonder about whom Khrushchev was speaking when he said “we.” there is only one explanation for the complete opposition by the Democrats to forestall the slide of our economy into chaos and wreckage by allowing us to drill for oil in our own country, only one explanation for their policies of the past 40 years. They have become the enemy. Traitors to their own people, they have sold themselves out for the chance to wield power over mankind. They are Stalin’s useful idiots. They are not our countrymen; they do not belong among us.

(Updated) I have long held, and often said, that Leftists are abusive, violent people underneath their compassionate veneers. Their history betrays them. Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, all leftists, and all murderers.

In our society, we don’t see them murdering others. Instead we see a different kind of violence–a psychological rather than physical violence. Thomas Sowell has written a column today that explains what I mean.

Dr. Sowell exposes abuse of the same character as found in Jonah Goldberg’s recent book, Liberal Facism. In it, Mr. Goldberg delivers well-documented evidence of the Left’s heritage of coercion. The American flavor of Fascism comes with smiles and institutional programs and rehabilitation. The insidious nature of the American Left’s abuse is the assurance that it’s for your own good.

Dr. Sowell highlights another aspect of Leftism in America–those programs designed to “help” people who are incapable of helping themselves. The American Left sees itself as superior to everyone else on the planet. Their arrogance and self-adulation are the source of their belief in their own moral superiority. But in order to feel vindicated, they need some outward evidence of that superiority. As Dr. Sowell points out, that’s where they latch onto others, preferably people of color, or other types of minorities (i.e. the poor, women, the disabled, etc). These people become trophies. They are used as evidence of the Left’s goodness.

The abuse is not limited to the American Left, either. A news report from MSN shows that child sexual abuse by UN peacekeeping forces and humanitarian experts is widespread and little or nothing is done to curb the problem. These are not right-wingers arranging sex-for-food deals with 14-year-old girls. What is the Left’s response? Demands that we reinstate funding for abortions overseas.

Glenn Beck’s column gives us another view of the results of the “help” the left offers. It is unfortunate that some republicans have parroted the line about immigrants filling jobs Americans won’t do. In their attempts at being compassionate, those who favor illegal immigration by doing nothing to stop it have created what Glenn calls “Corporate slavery.”

The living conditions described in some of Glenn’s examples are appalling. Perhaps the line should be reworked to say “living the life Americans won’t live.” The Left has a contemptible knack for looking the other way when their ideas produce misery. This isn’t compassion. It is the natural result of believing you are superior to everyone else. The Left traffics in Condescension, and there is enough for everyone.

The Left does nothing out of true charity or altruism. Everything is calculated to produce some kind of gain whether it be political, financial, or otherwise. In countries where civility has not firmly taken root, murder may be one of the methods used to produce such gain.

The Left always seeks power over others. Invariably the stated goal is the good of the people. It is alarming how many must die as part of the achievement of that goal. Some argue the world would be better off if the Left did not exist. One thing is certain–there would be a lot more people.

We have been force-fed socialism for so long, that we are now ready to believe it is a good thing. I heard some liberal idiot on the radio yesterday going on about how we should be seizing oil company profits because they make too much money.

Does he even begin to get an idea of how idiotic this is?! What is the matter with these people. Of course everything is rosy if it’s a favorite company, or a “green” corporation. Why is the oil industry the only one targeted for confiscation?

Let’s take Utah as an example. In Utah, we love green jell-o. We love it to the point that there is more green jell-o sold here than in any other state in the country. The Jell-o company is raking in huge profits in Utah. But you don’t hear Utah legislators calling for the seizure of Jell-o’s profits. You know why? Because Jell-o doesn’t threaten the liberal agenda to grab absolute power. Oil does.

How? It’s really very simple. People who can travel are free. And the farther away from home we can travel, the freer we feel. And the freer we feel, the more likely we are to get involved in government. The current slow-down in oil production is a blessing to the liberals. It means that food production will slow, the price of everything will rise, and the less discretionary money you have to spend, the less free you will feel, and the easier you are to control.

Socialism is the nationalization of the means of production. In the US we are not socialist yet, but the liberal Democrats have devised a way to control most of the economy by refusing to do one thing–agree to allow the next refinery to be built. That’s really what’s slowing oil production in America. And one person is behind the stonewalling, Nancy Pelosi.
