President Obama told us that ISIS was contained, just a day before the terrorist attacks on Paris (Friday, November 13,...

As an additional feature here on Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape, this blog will be including videos that have been posted on the johnny2k's America Facebook page! Videos can sometimes say more than what can be expressed in text. Be sure to visit the archive with hundreds of videos to peruse.
You wouldn't know that we're in a war by the way Obama is doing things. He still acts as if ISIS is the JV team, even after the unfolding of events in Paris, France. He even thinks that containing ISIS is all that is needed. Oh, sure, now that we know that ISIS is in many countries in the Middle East, it hardly sounds like containment! You can't make this stuff up:
And the commander in chief of all our U.S. military forces really believes the following about ISIS: “I don’t think they’re gaining ground. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain, and we have contained them …”?
And so, in the mean time, even after a horrific attack on civilians, it seems that Obama thinks that what happens in Europe stays in Europe. Well, it won't, not if he allows thousands of refugees into the country. That's just a Trojan horse strategy of our enemies waiting to happen. It wouldn't happen if we had a President that had a backbone, and admits that we ARE in a World War against radical Islam. Just sayin'...
If you weren't convinced before, now you know what a disorganized World War III looks like from the six simultaneous Paris terror attacks by ISIS that killed at least 129 precious souls and injured more than 300 more. And to think just a year ago, President Obama called ISIS "a jayvee team." In fact, on Friday…
President Obama didn't use all of his options in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat. Chuck Norris discusses his idea of a better option in this column. As you will read here, Chuck's suggestion is Reaganesque.
No option with Iran but war or funding terror?
(Editor's note: This is the third part of a series on the Iran nuclear deal. Read Part 1 here. Read Part 2 here.) In the last two columns, I've highlighted five of eight exaggerations Obama makes about the Iran nuclear deal. To recap the first five, they were: 1) President Obama said, "I've had to make…
Really, what could possibly go wrong? Energy costs necessarily getting much higher? Food costs going through the roof? How about the cost of living getting out of reach for those of us that are underemployed, or have to work three part time jobs, and the nanny state wanting to take over the responsibility of educating our children, while indoctrinating them that families don't matter, and the government is there to take care of all your needs?
For those that vote for another four years for the President to accomplish all that he promised but couldn't do in just four years (thank God for the Tea Party), you will get what you deserve if Obama somehow wins.
In Obama's own words, "You now have a choice."
It is up to you to decide what to do with the information that I share with you here. But I can assure you that there will be problems, as Chuck and Gena Norris explained to us, and you may just find out what could possibly go wrong with another four years for Obama.

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!
What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Does a fundamental change mean bypassing our Constitutional rights to have a Democratic Republic where we are represented? It's a choice between two futures.
The order also “establishes a new national goal of 40 gigawatts of new combined heat and power capacity by 2020, a 50% increase from today,” according to a statement from the White House.
“Meeting this goal would save energy users $10 billion per year, result in $40 to $80 billion in new capital investment in manufacturing and other facilities that would create American jobs, and would reduce emissions equivalent to 25 million cars,” the statement adds.
Sure, it sounds nice and (like most things in this administration) it promises a great return on investment, but are there any possible downsides to this executive order?
“This is a fiat from on high for these utilities to change the way they process energy — an enormous capital expense and many of them are going to close down,” Levin argued. “And they only have eight years to do it as part of this ‘cap-and-trade,‘ ’green’ energy, ‘climate change’ bull crap.”
Phil Kerpen has it right: "... So we are beginning to look at a wonderfully complex world which has the potential for shutting down or slowing down virtually all industry and all economic activity and growth."
Obama’s astonishing takeover of the automobile industry, unlike his health care takeover, occurred without even a vote of Congress. Yesterday, to much fanfare, the administration announced its astonishing ratcheting up of vehicle fuel economy standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. These regulations — I call them “ObamaCar” — were accomplished not through open debate in Congress, but through corrupt backroom deals in which our elected officials had no voice.
ObamaCar will, according to the administration’s own estimates, add over $2,900 to the price of a new car. This low-ball estimate was created by using a brand-new cost-estimating methodology that uses arbitrary factors to produce a cost estimate for a vehicle considerably lower than the total cost of its individual parts.
An analysis by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), which followed the government’s usual methodology, found the cost impact would be $4,800 per vehicle. But NADA also found that even the usual methodology has historically underestimated the actual cost impact by an enormous factor. NADA suggests a worst-case scenario of a $12,349-per-vehicle price jump.
First, a side note that must be mentioned: A long, long time ago, I shared a column by Robert Stacy McCain, called "How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year," and to this day, it haunts me that I haven't been able to break out of the box. I thought that I had it figured out, but I still found it difficult to succeed in blogging to the point where the numbers of viewers of my blogs are in the millions.
Well, shame on me, for not coming up with Rule #6 of blogging success a little sooner: Quantity and quality of posts on a blog count a whole bunch! I need to work on executing that strategy better.
But, excuse me, because there's another Rule of blogging success that needs to be mentioned. In studying Stacy McCain's Rule #5, I found that there is a critical modification that could be appended: Mention Chuck Norris or Glenn Beck, or both, in one blog post if possible, and it will bring on the viewers.
This is one of my blog posts, now known as the WIFLI Chronicles, that will test that "strategery." While I make sure that you know about the video made by Chuck and Gena Norris, a very recent event, I also needed to go back in history to support the Norris' announcement with a segment from Glenn Beck's Fox News days, way back in 2009. A coincidence? Absolutely not!
What you will see Glenn Beck discussing in a video below, from a long, long time ago -2009 - is what I've known about and tried to tell you in this blog for all these years. And because this blog - Time 2 Escape - didn't get those millions of views I was hoping for, at least now, there is some hope. I now know that I'm not alone. No longer do I have to worry about having enemies because of what I've told you, especially in last month's posts. I've learned that I have Chuck and Gena Norris on my side! There's no reason for me to be afraid! I'm just sayin'...

You definitely need to see the public service announcement video that Chuck and Gena Norris filmed. Unfortunately, I am not currently able to include the video here, as it is being unveiled exclusively by World Net Daily. However, you can see it by clicking on the link to the story below.
Chuck Norris Fact No. 39: “Chuck Norris stared evil in the eye and it went into hiding.”
America’s favorite action star is doing just that this election – calling on evangelical Christians across the nation to join him in crushing the creep of socialism under President Obama.
CHUCK AND GENA NORRIS
Norris and his wife, Gena, have filmed a public service announcement, unveiled exclusively at WND, wherein the two urge Christians to help save the country in November.
“We are here to talk about a growing concern we all share,” Chuck Norris explains. “If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We’re at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don’t change the course in which our country is headed.”
In America, to have any political power, it is important to find as many like-minded people that you can in order to bring about any change. However, if it was only Chuck Norris that is in agreement, well, I'd say that's good enough for me! It gives new meaning to, "Don't be afraid! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!"
From crumbling down American sovereignty by giving sway to U.N rule and European socialism to clamping down on Second Amendment gun rights and passing the Freedom of Choice Act – the sweeping bill that would abolish all pro-life regulations across the nation, from parental notification laws to bans on federal funding of abortion, our republic is in deep, deep trouble with Obama at the helm for four more years, because he will complete his fundamental transformation of the United States into a completely progressive European-socialist state.
Fellow citizens, America is out of time, out of money, indebted up to her ears and our economy and unemployment rates are in the tank. We can’t afford a single day more of President Obama – especially knowing every day his administration adds $4,179,115,306 extra (on top of the existing spending and debt) every day he is in office.
Okay, it is time to pay tribute to one of my heroes: Glenn Beck. He had the right idea nearly three years ago, back on November 1, 2009. There is no doubt in my mind that Beck backs up the recent dire warning presented by Chuck and Gena Norris.
** IN THEIR OWN WORDS ** Obama's Nest Of Marxists IN THE EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATURE, & JUDICIAL
WAKE UP AMERICA!! Marxist communists have infiltrated Washington DC! Listen yourself AS THEY SHAMELESSLY CONFESS THEIR HATRED OF AMERICA IN THEIR OWN WORDS!!
Only Fox News, now singled out by Obama's henchmen as "the enemy of the state", REPORT the news that all the co-conspirator propaganda media refuse to air! Glenn Beck boldly shows up these TRAITORS and their FOUL WORDS AND DEEDS against America and the U.S. Constitution... ~~~ READ MORE ~~~
Today's post of my new WIFLI (An acronym for "When I Feel Like It" and pronounced like "Why-Fly") series is aimed toward some certain people: 1) People that don't like the truth to be told (Yes, you, Cass Sunstein!) and claim that the government must control speech; 2) People that think that it is wrong for Timmy Tebow to express his Christian beliefs; 3) People that are so enamored with Barack Obama that they see him as a world leader; AKA Messiah 4) People that fit in the ALL OF THE ABOVE category.
You see, I'm not going to allow the far left of the progressive Democrats to deny that their main goal is to silence people that want to tell you that the love of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior will do us much more good than depending on the government, much less, a global dictatorship. I'm not going to stay silent.
Could you imagine a world where people with an opinion are not allowed to say what they believe? Is that not what Cass Sunstein desires? And what about the uproar about the success of an NFL quarterback, a new star, that gives all the glory to Jesus Christ? Out loud, with a large TV audience watching? Those currently in power really do not want that to be happening. But it is. They can't seem to stop it, other than their usual discrediting effort.
I invite you to tell me how I'm wrong, but I'm confident that you won't be able to. Obama's crowd has the motivation, and now they are cluelessly thinking that you and I shouldn't be allowed to talk about it and thus, actually think about it. It's not time for Big Brother, is it? Just fly like an eagle, and keep FREEDOM as your top priority. I'm just sayin'....
Just prior to his appointment as President Obama’s so-called regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wrote a lengthy academic paper suggesting the government should “infiltrate” social network websites, chat rooms and message boards.
Cass Sunstein
Such “cognitive infiltration,” Sunstein argued, should be used to enforce a U.S. government ban on “conspiracy theorizing.”
Among the beliefs Sunstein classified as a “conspiracy theory” is advocating that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.
The find comes after a report (See: Time 2 Escape WIFLI for Thursday, Jan 12, 2012) of a government document indicating that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s command center routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks and news sites such as the Huffington Post and Drudge Report.

I’ve never told any of this story publicly in the four years since it happened, but since I’m doing it, I may as well include something else. The previous spring we had been visiting our friends Chuck and Gena Norris, when Tim was asked in an interview to name someone he really admired. Tim’s answer was, “Chuck Norris.” Chuck really got a kick out of this. They’d never met or talked, but knowing we were going to this game, Chuck called me right then to see how it went. I said, “Well, I’m sitting here with Timmy right now.” Then I looked at Tebow and said, “Want to talk to Chuck Norris?”
The expression on his face was priceless. After seeing so many people in the previous hour blown away to meet Tim Tebow, it was fun to see Tim Tebow blown away to talk with Chuck Norris. “Mr. Norris, is this really you? Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Glad to speak with you too, sir.” (BTW, Timmy called me sir, too, and he would call the janitor sir, and the respect would be just as genuine.) READ MORE
You’re doomed. You spend a lot of time doomed. If you’re somewhere between 30 and 40, movies like “The Day After” had you convinced you were going to be an ash silhouette before you graduated high school. Those of you in different demographics had other threats looming over you. In popular culture, these swords of Damocles all have in common the assertion that electing leftists and voting for left-wing policies can save you. This is what our televisions tell us, anyway.
The world remains a very bad place. Reuters reported earlier this week that the “symbolic Doomsday Clock calculated by a group of scientists was moved a minute closer to midnight on Tuesday, with the group citing inadequate progress on nuclear weapons reduction and climate change.” This announcement raises questions because leftists still control much of the free world, including the most important of Western political positions. That position is president of the United States.
Remember when Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (before he had a chance actually to do anything to earn it)? This act has much in common with the proclamations of those moving the hands of the Doomsday Clock. Both the prize and the clock are political symbols. Their only import is in their function as barometers of leftist opinion. READ MORE
Whenever you complain about something negative in your world, you reinforce your connection with that negativity. Your complaint can actually focus your energy toward perpetuating and empowering whatever you’re complaining about.
A much better strategy is to come up with a positive alternative, and then to act on it. Instead of merely reinforcing what is wrong, you have an opportunity to change the situation for the better.
I hope that your expectations weren't overly magnified by using the word "Daily" in the title of these latest posts. The truth is, in the case of this blog, "Daily" is not equivalent to "every day." I'm going to do my best to keep this blog active by posting as often as possible, but I guarantee that I'll be taking Sundays off, and maybe another day during the week.
Guaranteeing that I would take Sundays off was a mistake. I should have said, "I'll usually take Sundays off, but there will be occasions when there are some great new stories or columns that I really want to share with you."
Clearly, as you will see, this is one of those days, especially considering that today is the first day of a new year, and is a significant holiday that leans toward dealing with our desire to enjoy a better year than the previous one. And you will find out that this Special Edition of the Time 2 Escape "Daily" will help to point you in the right direction.
Of course, there was another reason that I wanted to do this special edition today. It has always been my feeling that when a previous year ends on a good note, it is likely that the new year will start out on the same good note. What I saw happen yesterday was a great way to end a year and give us hope for a bright future in the new year. It was all about perseverance. It is looking like the new year, 2012, will be a time to keep persisting through all challenges or obstacles.
And, I wanted to gloat a little about the great victory the Hawkeye men's basketball team had yesterday against the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison....
Well, anyway, the three stories/columns along with the video blog that I have included here need to be read. You will find that they are all pieces of the bigger puzzle that all seem to fit together.
MADISON, Wis. -- Freshman Aaron White scored 18 points and senior Bryce Cartwright finished with 17 points to lead the University of Iowa men's basketball team to a statement, 72-65, road victory at No. 11 Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon in the Kohl Center.
Iowa's win snapped Wisconsin's 23 game home winning streak against non-ranked opponents. It was the Badgers' second loss in in 61 games (59-2) during the Bo Ryan era against non-ranked conference teams, and it was Iowa's first road win since 2006, a 70-67 victory at No. 21 Indiana.
"Anytime you beat the 11th-ranked team on the road, it's a statement victory for where your kids are mentally," said UI head coach Fran McCaffery. "You're seeing this team grow up, and you saw a team play with maturity. Six weeks ago they weren't playing with that level of maturity."
Happy new year, Chuck! Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Any you'd recommend to others? – "Seeking Self-Improvement" in Seattle
CHUCK NORRIS
With the induction of the new year, many of us are resolving to better our lives in 2012. That's fantastic! I encourage resolutions, whether you make them now or at any other time of the year.
My New Year's challenge, however, is that you think in terms of not only success but also significance.
Ken Blanchard, leadership guru and co-author of "The One Minute Manager," said: "Many people measure their success by wealth, recognition, power and status. There's nothing wrong with those, but if that's all you're focused on, you're missing the boat. ... Using your time and talent to serve others – that's when truly meaningful success can come your way."
Press on for what God has for you. That is what Paul was doing: "With hands outstretched to whatever lies ahead I go straight for the goal. ..." The original language of this verse includes the word agonizo, from which we get our English word "agony." This reminds us that our lives are a walk of faith. There are challenges, difficulties and obstacles that we will face. As the expression goes, "No pain, no gain." Paul was straining to move forward.
By the way, these words were not given to a spiritually elite group of Christians. They were not given to pastors or only to those who are called in the ministry. They are given to every follower of Jesus Christ. Every believer is called to press on.
A decision was finally made after months of thoughtful consideration. Of the various options available to me, I believe that I will be making the changes needed to accomplish the main goal of providing a resource of value to you, the reader.
You will no longer see the individual columns that I was commenting on. Because my time has been more limited these days, it was getting overwhelming to get very many blogs posted. As you can see, my monthly productivity began to plummet in this month of December 2012. Hopefully, my new plan will be a way to again produce more posts that will help to keep you informed.
You will see three sections in each new post, and each will contain the links to stories and commentaries that I know you will be interested in.
Since today is the first time I've made this effort, it may mean that additional adjustments to this new endeavor will be made down the road. But the biggest adjustment will be to my attitude about "change." Admittedly, there are times when I tend to shun much variation to the way things are done.
Gone will be my ability to see the reaction to various columns that I have posted about. It was the realization, though, that made me think that wasn't information that affects what you will gain from the new format. The historical information I have at my fingertips, however, will help me to determine which stories and columns to include that will keep you coming back for more.
Change can be good. We'll find out soon if this is the change you really wanted to see. It might just be better than the "change" you've seen in the last three years under Obama.
Americans scrambling to Bible to see previously untold parallels with today
What do sycamore and cedar trees have to do with biblical prophecy, the tragic events of 9/11 and the imminent future of the United States?
Everything, according to a new book which says an obscure text from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah is an urgent wake-up call for all Americans in light of what happened on that fateful day in 2001.
"The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn, a messianic rabbi from the Jerusalem Center-Beth Israel Congregation in Wayne, N.J., deciphers stunning connections between what some may think is a cryptic biblical prophecy to the news events happening right now, in our current time.
Is lawman's probe of president creating panic at White House?
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona's Maricopa County has been under fire for his immigration law-enforcement policies from protesters who simply object to what he's doing, in a lawsuit alleging his department profiles on race, and from the federal government which has canceled agreements with his department to check for violators who arrive at his jail.
What is the spiritual significance of this year that so many ancient cultures dreaded?
Maybe now is the right moment to examine all the theories and some of the shocking facts.
With all the hype about the ancient Mayan calendar suggesting the demise of human civilization taking place in 2012, one American author wants everyone to know that other calendars predict the same outcome, and he claims a demonic plot bringing about the end date could be hiding in plain sight inside the U.S. Capitol and your wallet right now.
Hacking group that helped protests warns of 'bloody mess'
The hackers known as "Anonymous," who helped organize and support the Occupy movement's protests, have released an online survivor guide for citizens "in case of a violent revolution in your country."
The guide warns protests can be a "bloody mess." It trains rioters on how to avoid tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition.
The 15-page PDF document claims police will not help protesters and may actually be enemies of the revolution while warning that protest groups may be infiltrated by "fake civilians."
Former “Saturday Nigh Live” actress Victoria Jackson is facing some criticism over recent comments she made on “Politichicks,” a web talk show she co-hosts. During a recent episode, Jackson contended that the Muslim Brotherhood — the same Islamist group that has been winning Middle Eastern elections — has infiltrated the American government at its highest levels.
As anyone who follows the Drudge Report, Hotair (or “Hot Gas” if you’re Gov. Rick Perry), or The Blaze knows, President Obama’s Hawaiian vacation will cost the American taxpayer quite a chunk of change.
Understandably, some Americans are bothered by the his decision to take such a costly vacation during these economically unstable times.
Perhaps because this irritation is so sharply felt, people are finding new and different ways to vent their frustration. One such outlet is a website called Wasted in Hawaii: President Obama’s Hawaiian Binge. The website includes information on the cost of president‘s trip as well as an interactive tool that allows users to send messages to the president’s @BarackObama Twitter handle.
Now, you tell me, which type of leadership is going to win us back the White House: one that rallies the country or divides the house?
With totally certainty, I can say that Chuck Norris undoubtedly hits the nail on the head in this column, and it is the most important column I've read so far in this election cycle.
While you need to read this column in full, beginning to end, I need to give you one more quote that is of vital importance, one that is of total relevance to defeating Barack Hussein Obama in 2012:
Every conservative I know agrees that any GOP candidate will be better than the leadership we currently have in the White House. I firmly believe their positive attributes definitely outweigh any of their negatives.
With about three weeks to the Iowa Caucus, it's high time that we quit allowing the left and even our own preferences and prejudice to polarize us any further. It's time we lay down our egos and our innate bent to tear down and fight to unify for our republic's sake. If we are going to win the war for the White House, it's going to be solely in our ability to rally together and keep our scopes on the current occupant of the White House, not by aiming at one other.
Before I read Chuck's column, I read what Herman Cain had to say in his column on the same day. Here is part of my commentary about what Herman was saying, and it is perfectly relevant to the wisdom of Chuck Norris that you will read today:
As to this coming election in 2012, the major effort still needs to be focused on defeating Obama. That could possibly mean nominating a squishy RINO Republican candidate. Whatever it takes, right? If that is the outcome, what Herman Cain has suggested in this column will become even more significant, as you will read. We the People need to be able to put the pressure on whoever wins the White House and Congress!
Now, it is time for me to make a request of you, the reader. I know you are one that cares about our future and our freedom, so I'm assuming that you will understand this request is not just so I can promote this column or my blog. What would really help would be if you were to disseminate this column, this blog post, to as many of the GOP Presidential candidates, Conservative columnists, bloggers and talk radio show hosts as possible. WE the People need to spread the word, far and wide!
This election should be up to you, and not the media outlets - Conservative or Progressive. It is time for WE the People that want to avert the loss of our liberties as given to us in the Constitution of the United States. We need to have a little faith right now in what WE the People can do when we unite. The Tea Party Movement is STILL a movement that allows us keep us unified, if we allow it to. Along with this great column by Chuck Norris, we have been schooled on the abilitiy for us to keep spreading the hope for freedom that will still be here for our children and grandchildren!
You've heard of "Peace through Strength" before, right? Well, this is "Strength through Peace" amongst our candidates and the pundits. Let's quit giving the enemy the ability to divide us, alright? I'm just sayin'...
Charles Dillon "Casey" Stengel, the early 20th century baseball legend who played on five teams and managed four, said, "It's easy to get good players. Getting them to play together, that's the hard part."
What's true in sports is definitely true in politics, but even more so.
Many say, 'tis the season for GOP rivalry, but when does inference turn to infighting? When does public debate dismantle our conservative solidarity? When do campaign commercials compromise our unity to fight together? And when does friendly bantering turn into friendly fire that is fuel for our foes?
I know we are in a GOP presidential race. I understand the tactics to win a regular election, but this is no typical run for the presidency. There is a progressive insurrection underway, and at the heart of their political warfare is the disunity of conservative consensus.
In this unique presidential race, I would propose at this particular point that our infighting is, indeed, not only the recipe for the president's petroleum but also a major strategy in the progressives' plan to keep their incumbent in the Oval Office.
Former House Speaker and GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told an audience in Iowa last week, "President Obama is legitimately and authentically a Saul Alinsky radical." I completely agree, as well as the majority who truly understand Obama's origins and political philosophies. Even the New York Times back in August 2009 wrote, "Saul Alinsky, the Chicago activist and writer whose street-smart tactics influenced generations of community organizers, most famously the current president …"
Alinsky's bible for community organizers is "Rules for Radicals," the principles of which can be viewed in almost every action of the left, including the present White House. For example, in the chapter on "power tactics," the fourth tactic is: "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules." While conservatives regard congruity as commendable, Alinsky considers it an opportunity for raising disdain among the public and infighting among enemies, because no one can perfectly live up to his or her own message.
This is where Alinsky's fifth rule follows and applies: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." And the best missile in that arsenal is the friendly fire (ridicule) caused within the enemies' own camps.
Ronald Reagan, our 40th president, stated it this way, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
To begin the column, Chuck Norris reviews his previous two in this series, and tells you a little about what his theme is in this column. Now, allow me to explain why it is so important for you to read all three of Chuck's columns in this series ("Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupy and MSM").
Chuck Norris discusses the connections between Soros, Obama, Occupy and the Mainstream Media, and just what their objectives are. This may be information that you may not have been aware of, unless you often listen to Glenn Beck. Keep in mind, there will be a lot of things that you may never know about because the MSM is part of the progressive network that Chuck discusses.
And then, after you read what Chuck Norris says in this series, I want you to think about where the attacks on Herman Cain originated from. Today, Herman suspended his campaign. And I'll give you a clue: the nonsense of the allegations against him didn't come from the Rick Perry campaign. I allege that the things that happened to Cain over the last month could have come from just one source. You will understand my conclusion (just my opinion) once you read Chuck's three column series. I'm just sayin'...
RELATED COLUMNS:
In Part 1, I discussed how the mainstream media, or MSM, billionaire progressives like George Soros, the White House and even the Occupy movement are in cahoots with one another.
In Part 2, I discussed the MSM's maneuvering to coronate their choice for GOP nomination, George Soros' covert investments in the 2012 presidential election and Agenda 21's relation to progressivism and the Occupy movement.
Today, in Part 3, I will not only address exactly what is the end goal and meaning of progressives' "total transformation of the United States of America" but also what I and America's founders believe we can do to stop that onslaught from overturning of our republic.
What is critical to keep in mind is the end goal of progressives like Soros, the MSM and even the present White House administration. It isn't merely to sustain a Democrat administration and majority, or to control the different strata of society, including Main Street and Wall Street. It is about the total transformation of the United States of America.
Fellow culture warrior and New York Times bestseller Robert Ringer stated it well: "Whether it's the Occupy Wall Street protesters, rioters in Greece, public workers defacing the State Capitol building in Madison, Wis., or thugs tearing down the city of Oakland, Calif., brick by brick, they are all focused on the same objective: equal distribution of wealth and a classless society. They may not use the word communism, but communism is precisely what they yearn for."
Do you want to know what I learned today? I'm not alone. No, make that, WE'RE NOT ALONE!
Earlier today, I posted some profound commentaries by the likes of Pat Boone, Greg Laurie, and Chuck Norris on one of my other blogs. Believe me, if Pat, Greg and Chuck weren't on top of things and great writers to boot, they wouldn't be writing for WorldNetDaily.com. They are patriots, just like people such as Phil Elmore, Erik Rush, and Henry Lamb. We can learn from these folks that have such great talent to be able to tell us the story about what WE the people stand for.
Quite frankly, there are people out there that want to destroy America so that we have to lose our sovereignty... and that will lead to the loss of our freedom. It leads me to want to do what ever I can do to try to teach those that will actually listen to little-known people like me, or the great patriot whose video I am going to share with you.
I have to tell you, there's not a whole lot of difference between the guy that does the video I am sharing with you here, and our heroes like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. The message is the same, and it should mean as much to you as any of the best Beck or Limbaugh speeches. Just sayin'...
Do you know what I think I learned from Chuck's column today? Chuck is as angry about Obama's lack of action for stopping illegal immigration as I am! And isn't just stopping the flow of Mexicans coming illegally into the United States that is worrying us so much. It is also the fact that there also could be terrorists from countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen that could make their way in to the country.
But that is still just the tip of the iceberg, for there is another insidious situation that Chuck focuses on here. It is the global elitist vision of a "country" with no borders that Chuck is most worried about:
What hope do we have that the feds will finally secure our national borders when their primary leader is a globalist who espouses "In the 21st century we are not defined by our borders but by our bond"?
So, without protecting our borders, we have the hoards of people coming into this country that use our schools and hospitals and do not give anything in return, the contraband such as drugs and weapons, terrorists, and who knows, maybe even something like the swine flu. And our president doesn't want to do anything about it? That just doesn't make sense, does it? It just doesn't sound right. Just sayin'...
May 20, 2010 — Michelle Malkin on Fox and Friends: Immigration and more
Will you believe and follow the philosophical precedent of globalists like President Obama, who said, "In the 21st century we are not defined by our borders, but by our bond."
Or will you join me and millions of other American citizens who believe and follow the definition offered by other leaders like President Ronald Reagan, who said, "A nation without borders is not a nation."
(Editor's note: This is Part 3 of a three-part series on solutions to America's illegal immigration problem.)
There is one gigantic obstacle that stands before America and our immigration crisis. And, quite frankly, it is in my estimation an insurmountable roadblock that will inhibit any resolution that enforces current immigration law, especially as it pertains to illegal immigrants. That barrier is not a people, policy or protocol. It is our president.
I seriously doubt that our current commander in chief can lead our nation out of this immigration mess because of a single fundamental and philosophical difference he has with most Americans, previous administrations and even our founders. President Obama declared it in the Rose Garden two weeks ago in the presence of Mexico's President Felipe Calderon and an international television audience. And it seemed to escape the attention of most. It was one of the most un-American, unconstitutional and radical statements to date from Obama's presidency. He said, "In the 21st century we are not defined by our borders, but by our bond."
His statement reminded me of what I wrote in my new expanded paperback edition of "Black Belt Patriotism": "For better or worse, we have new leadership and a new direction for America. It's a kinder and gentler Washington, to whom the global war on terror has turned into an 'Overseas Contingency Operation.' It's a softer and relational Washington, with whom international bonds are more important than national borders and boundaries." Now we have more proof from the horse's mouth.
Obama's statement in the Rose Garden is not merely a stand against Arizona's or any other states' immigration enforcement laws. It is a stand against his presidential oath, our Constitution, our national identity, security and sovereignty. For the commander in chief to go limp on border rigidity, especially when the feds themselves have been reporting for years about escalating border troubles and recently warned of foreign "terrorists" breach of U.S. southern borders (including those coming from Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen), is for the White House itself to jeopardize our national security.
Just a week ago at West Point, the president declared, "We have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation." Our relatively young commander in chief gave new marching orders to a new generation and graduating class at the military academy, saying, "The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times ... combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing its wounds." His language seems eerily reminiscent to the U.S. Navy's new contested recruiting slogan, "A global force for good." Is Obama leading our country or a global government? Unfortunately, he is proving himself to be far more than a socialist – rather he is a globalist, and that is even more dangerous to our national security and sovereignty.
The White House website confessed that Obama's new National Security Strategy released last Thursday is "a blueprint for pursuing the world that we seek by outlining a strategy to rebuild our foundations, promote a just and sustainable international order … and universal values." It plays down the threat of terror, trumps up (24 times) the threat of "climate change," calls for more "global leadership," "international cooperation" and "partnerships," and regards "American innovation as a foundation of American power" rather than military might. Does that sound like a national security strategy or the beginnings of an international global-governance manifesto?
Does anyone doubt that our president, as a Nobel peace laureate who believes he can negotiate with terrorists and dictators, has a global desire for international coalescence? Or should it not concern us that at the G20 conference this past year he also pushed world leaders even to reshape the global economy?
Still, Obama knows he is in the political border pickle of his life. And that coddling the Mexican president, doing nothing about border violence and remaining passive in the midst of escalating national debate on illegal immigration is a recipe for political disaster and Democrat re-election demise. So, last Tuesday, the White House unexpectedly announced that Obama will deploy up to 1,200 National Guard troops to America's southwest boundary. What timing, after he has resisted repeated calls for weeks from border state lawmakers to deploy 6,000 military personnel.
The fact is the deployment of up to 1,200 National Guard troops is a political appeasement, carefully crafted as a temporary noncombatant assignment restricted to providing only intelligence and training. You can also bet it's not a coincidence that the White House suddenly announced a $500 million supplement for border enhancement at the very same time that Senate Republicans began introducing several border security amendments to a $60 billion war spending bill. That Oval Office has amazing timing, doesn't it?!
