Obama’s Civilian Army ?

SEIU Recruits Security Officers

Posted by Dave Blount at June 1, 2011 6:35 AM

This is ominous. The communist thugs of the SEIU are targeting security officers for unionization:

Remember Barack Hussein Obama’s pre-election fantasy of creating his own Gestapo-style domestic army, as large as the US military? ObamaCare pushed the envelope of Hope & Change as far as it will go without open revolt. Until after the election, the Manchurian Moonbat will be pursuing his objectives mainly by stealth — with the help of his friends.

What Does the Government Use to Develop the Baseline for Malcontents?

The Department of Homeland Security has developed a mobile system to detect “malcontents” as shown in the following video:

Ever Wonder Why the General Assembly Isn’t Passing Serious Legislation?


The General Assembly has failed to passed the legislation that the Republican Party promised the voters last year in the first 100 days. Voter ID, 2nd amendment, 10th amendment and immigration reform will have to wait. Crossover is about to expire and Thom Tillis has steadfastly refused to extend this date so it looks like we will have to wait for 2013.

Here is just one of the bills (HB 721) that will be addressed in committee this week:

AN ACT REQUIRING LANDLORDS AND TENANTS TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS TO EXTERMINATE BEDBUGS IN DWELLING UNITS

Two Blasts from the Recent Past

Based on the reports of gang violence over the Memorial Day weekend, maybe the military’s preparedness training will be necessary this summer:

Barack Obama: can anybody beat him?

Conservatives now have two favorite past times:

1. Arguing among themselves which Republican candidate will be able to beat Obama.
2. Assuring themselves that Obama will be a one-term president.

This election will be about money. Obama will raise at least $1 billion for his reelection campaign. Just like the 2008 election, this money will come from various sources including illegal contributions from Middle Eastern countries. Mitt Romney’s ability to raise $1 billion dollars in the next election was widely reported in the media. Any candidate who cannot raise this amount will automatically lose and should drop out.

Since when was an election in the United States based on money instead of the quality of the candidates? When we accepted the rationalization that we can vote for the lesser of two evils. Political affiliation overrides qualifications, civic duty and our own morality based on the founding principles of this country.

What are our neighbors across the pond reporting about the 2012 elections? The first article is from the United Kingdom?

Not Coincidence, Just Events Adjacent in Time and Space

At dinner with some friends tonight, we discussed prospective travel plans. During the conversation I mentioned I had placed voluntary restrictions upon my domestic travel. I will not travel:

• On transportation where the TSA violates the 4th Amendment

• Into states where the 2nd Amendment is infringed worse than NC

• In locations where the 1st Amendment is not respected.

My friends regarded this as a very stringent travel restriction, noting that there are few places where one could avoid these encroachments. Little did I know I would experience one within minutes of the conversation.

On our way home I encountered a traffic stop by the NC State Highway Patrol. Four Patrol vehicles and four LEO’s blocked a secondary road crossing Falls Lake.

As a LEO approached my car I lowered my window, presented my drivers’ license and announced politely that I was armed. We had a civil but disturbing exchange.

Freedom Reigns

We sang “Freedom Reigns” in church today and the following line shows why Socialism must by necessity destroy religion in order to flourish wherever any semblance of freedom previously existed:

Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom

Does this mean that freedom cannot exist without God? I believe so and the next logical question becomes: Does this mean that freedom cannot exist without the God of the Judeo-Christian religion upon which our country was founded?

I would hardly expect anyone to effectively argue that the Muslim religion and Allah promote freedom. Ask any Muslim woman how many ways she must submit. No one can argue that Socialist/Communist countries promote freedom. Historical evidence from Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Communist Russia and Maoist China show that freedom is soon supplanted by mass genocide. Obama’s Christmas ornament of Chairman Mao on our nation’s Christmas tree foreshadows his plans for American “freedom”.

Real HOPE for 2012

Ahem …

Perhaps the idea will become contageous and we’ll see spontaneous self-burial by people who hate individualism and liberty.

Offended by this idea ?  Great … talk to the hand, then grab a shovel.

… but before you pull the dirt back into the hole over yourself, watch:

The Fatal Idea of Legal Plunder

But on the other hand, imagine that this fatal principle has been introduced: Under the pretense of organization, regulation, protection, or encouragement, the law takes property from one person and gives it to another; the law takes the wealth of all and gives it to a few — whether farmers, manufacturers, shipowners, artists, or comedians. Under these circumstances, then certainly every class will aspire to grasp the law, and logically so.

The excluded classes will furiously demand their right to vote — and will overthrow society rather than not to obtain it. Even beggars and vagabonds will then prove to you that they also have an incontestable title to vote. They will say to you:

“We cannot buy wine, tobacco, or salt without paying the tax. And a part of the tax that we pay is given by law — in privileges and subsidies — to men who are richer than we are. Others use the law to raise the prices of bread, meat, iron, or cloth. Thus, since everyone else uses the law for his own profit, we also would like to use the law for our own profit. We demand from the law the right to relief, which is the poor man’s plunder. To obtain this right, we also should be voters and legislators in order that we may organize Beggary on a grand scale for our own class, as you have organized Protection on a grand scale for your class. Now don’t tell us beggars that you will act for us, and then toss us, as Mr. Mimerel proposes, 600,000 francs to keep us quiet, like throwing us a bone to gnaw. We have other claims. And anyway, we wish to bargain for ourselves as other classes have bargained for themselves!”

And what can you say to answer that argument!

From “The Law“, Frederic Bastiat, 1850

What indeed can we say? 

Perhaps this simple description explains the US Debt issue known as the

US UNFUNDED LIABILITIES  ==>  $114 TRILLION

What We Better Be Thinking About….

Your next vote may be your last.

And no, the RINOs and TPINOs (Tea Party in Name Only) will not get it done.  They went to Washington claiming opposition to the Patriot Act, then not only reauthorized it but added to it.  The other side has removed your right to NOT buy a thing (health insurance.)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEkCQIFKCmM

Think this is simply “vote Republican” or “vote Democrat”?

Oook.  How’s that “hope and change” working out for you?  Economically?  Jobs?  Did health insurance costs go up or down after Obamacare was passed?  What were you promised, and what was delivered?

Not just for those on the left – but those on the right.

Think folks.

Think carefully.

The Dead Cat Has Bounced

The US dollar recently strengthened after a prolonged decline but was this a dead cat bounce as previously reported? The US dollar lost 1.09% yesterday. Although this is good news for our government since it reduced our national debt, this loss is achieved at the expense of your savings also being devalued. In another article, I outlined that the increase in the value of the dollar was due to the collapse of the Euro and people’s expectations across the world that our dollar is a safe haven. At that time, I recommended placing your money in the Swiss franc as the more prudent alternative.

The following report explains the dollar’s drop on the probability of our economic recovery faltering (the stimulus money ran out) and the strengthening of the Swiss franc.

Where’s Our Strategy?

The following strategy update from the Obama reelection campaign foreshadows our worst case,but probable scenario: four more years of our country’s dismantling by forces devoted to our nation’s collapse. As I wrote previously in 3% vs 47%, it is a question of numbers: there are more people who will vote as useful idiots without any regard for the unintended consequences that will be forced upon them. Fair warning: the 3% will not surrender freedom quietly.

Accept No Substitutes

Representatives from Freedomworks and The North Carolina Budget and Tax Center offered opposing viewpoints concerning HB 188 – The Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights at the Judiciary Subcommittee A hearing on May 25, 2011.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgTi_WjzrLI

As outlined in an earlier article, North Carolina is not Colorado and the comparisons made by both Mr. McLenaghan and Ms. Albeidinger to Colorado’s economic decline are disingenuous. Although Mr. McLenaghan does represent “The North Carolina Budget and Tax Center”, he declined to point out that this is just another tentacle of the North Carolina Justice Center.

The Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights Hurts Children

Chris Farr from Americans for Prosperity explains why the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (HB 188) should be passed in the beginning of this video. Mandy Ableidinger from Action for Children then speaks out against this legislation and states:

“The Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights hurts children”

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eneN7Wo315c

As outlined in my previous article, North Carolina is not Colorado. I understand Ms. Albeidinger is passionate about children’s welfare. In fact, another video below gives a perspective of her views as they pertain to Latino children. Her assertion that 90% of Latino children in North Carolina are legal citizens is not based on facts. Our educational records show the influx of Latino students for the portion of the year when planting season starts. Since these children do not speak English and are in our schools for a portion of the school year, their test schools negatively impact our schools’ test scores. Maybe she can explain the incredible cost for North Carolina’s “English as a Second Language” in our schools.
