Obama: Transforming America ~ By Henry Lamb

The War Powers Act says:

The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities … are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces"

As a candidate in 2007, Obama knew better. He told the Boston Globe:

The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

As president, he doesn't seem to care what the Constitution or the War Powers Act say. He considers the Constitution to be a "flawed" document he alone has the wisdom to correct.

Obama's foreign policy is transforming America.

Here is the thing: Politicians always promise things that they know the voters want, and they rarely deliver. But here's the other thing: Obama told America what he wanted to do to transform America during the 2008 campaign, and he still managed to be elected. And shockingly, he has delivered on way too much of the agenda he promised. And then, there are the promises that John Stossel says Obama did not deliver on:

It took me an extra day to get this great column by Henry Lamb posted. I wanted to make sure that I would be able to add further value to what he had to say. Well, as it turned out, there wasn't much more I could write that would fill in any blanks. Henry had it covered. But, at least I found the above video that illustrates much of what is covered in Henry's first paragraph.

And here is one last thing... When those of us on the Right have something to point out about Obama and the Left, it isn't "nasty, smarmy things." No, we're just letting people know what it was that Obama promised, and it is in his own words. It isn't just about which parts of the Obama agenda that have succeeded or failed that really matters. It is the fact that he made his agenda known: Transform America. And I think the results of that transformation will not be pretty. The very scary part is that it really seems to be intentional. Very scary, especially for the fact that Obama has announced that he is running in 2012. I'm just sayin'....

Editor's note: Listen to this column online.

He said he was going to do it. He explained why he was going to do it. He even said how he was going to do it. He has been doing it since the day he took office.

To be fair, he did take office at a time when the economy was on the brink of disaster. Of course, he and others of his philosophical ilk caused both the housing bubble and its collapse – no matter how hard they deny it. Organizations such as ACORN, where Obama cut his teeth as a community organizer, demanded that banks fund mortgages for people who had no hope of repaying them. Democrats in Congress made it easy for banks by guaranteeing the loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Two months before the 2008 election, the U.S. government had to bail out the two failed financial institutions to the tune of $15 billion.

During eight years under the Bush administration, the national debt increased by $4 trillion ($500 billion per year.) These years included the attack on the World Trade Centers, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Hurricane Katrina, as well as the explosion of the housing bubble. Obama added $4 trillion to the national debt in 421 days. And his "spreading the wealth around" has created a debt that will burden future generations for years to come.

Obama's economic policy is transforming America.

Despite the absence of constitutional authority, or a single Republican vote, Obama's health-care plan not only deepens the public debt, but also forces previously free citizens to purchase a product designated by the government. Never before has the federal government presumed to dictate what its citizens must buy. Moreover, Obama and his Democratic majority in Congress used bizarre procedures to force "Obamacare" into law. By so doing, Obama has demonstrated that he believes his ideas on governance to be superior to the founders', and that achieving his goals is far more important than any rules or procedural restraints.

Obama chooses not to enforce federal drug laws relating to marijuana, or to allow his Department of Justice to prosecute Black Panthers who stood – with billy club in hand – in front of polling places to intimidate white voters. But he quickly sues a school district for not allowing a Muslim teacher to take three weeks off to go to Mecca.

Obama's social policy is transforming America.

Gas price too high? Here's whom to thank ~ By Henry Lamb

On top of all this, consider that China and India are increasing their use of carbon-based fuels to expand their economies dramatically. They are using cheap carbon energy to manufacture solar panels and wind turbines for use in America to generate energy that is outrageously expensive. What sense does this make? It certainly "spreads the wealth around" at the expense of Americans.

The only way to stop this nonsense is to continue the revolution started in November, 2010 and intensify efforts to put a majority in the Senate who understand and respect the U.S. Constitution and value a free-market economy. If the current administration can be replaced with a president who believes government has no business spreading around other people's wealth, and that the U.S. must become self-sufficient in energy production, while defending our borders at home and our interests abroad, then we can open ANWR, drill offshore and use the resources within our own nation.

Those who object to this goal should be re-tested.

Henry reveals the real reasons for our high gas prices. You probably won't be surprised to find out that much of it may have to do with "spreading the wealth around."

Henry Lamb actually discloses something that has been no secret for a long time, and yet, those that are executing such an idiotic plan are not phased by the fact that their policies are destroying America. Oh, wait, let me be clear. The progressive elites are really not that stupid, I suppose, being that many had graduated from Ivy League schools. So, that could mean only one other possibility: Their destruction of America is INTENTIONAL! And, if you still don't believe that, Henry's column will be another piece of the puzzle that will result, eventually, in giving you the ability to see the whole picture.

Editor's note: Listen to this column online.

In December 1996, Bill Clinton vetoed legislation that would have added more than a million barrels of domestic oil per day to help reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. His reasoning at the time was that ANWR could not produce oil for 10 years, a laughable excuse.

For years, responsible congressmen fought to open ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge).

The real reason ANWR remains closed to needed domestic oil production is the relentless propaganda campaign waged by green organizations that preach the now-discredited gospel of global warming. These organizations contribute heavily to Democratic candidates and, during the Clinton administration, occupied the White House and management positions of federal agencies. (See this report and especially endnote No. 30.)

The Bush administration tried again to expand domestic oil production. Congressional Democrats would not allow it. They filibustered Sen. Ted Stevens' bill to open ANWR in 2005, and in 2008 killed a bill to expand off-shore drilling. Had the greens, the Dems and Clinton not conspired to prevent the expansion of domestic oil production nearly two decades ago, America could be nearly self-sufficient in energy production today.

Obama may be worse than all of the above. Van Jones, his first green-jobs czar, is a self-proclaimed communist. His "Green Collar Economy" cannot exist unless carbon-based energy is either outlawed or taxed to a price point beyond the price of his proposed alternative energy. Carol Browner, his choice for global-warming czar, is a socialist. She served as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency during the Clinton administration and hates the use of carbon-based energy in America.

There is no reason to force an already stressed economy into a "green" economy where, for example, a Chevy Volt costs $41,000 (before the $7,500 tax credit) for a mid-size hatchback that's rated 40 mpg highway. Dozens of mid-size cars are available for half the price with mpg ratings in the mid or high 30s. A "green" economy requires massive subsidies from government and/or increased taxes on carbon-based energy to equalize the playing field. This kind of manipulation is not a free-market economy. It is a major factor in rising gas prices and other energy costs.

What's happening in the Obama administration may be much worse than the price of gasoline. His admission to Joe the Plumber that he wants to "spread the wealth around" is a goal that is not limited to the United States. Even in defiance of a court order, Obama refuses to allow off-shore drilling for domestic energy. He has no reluctance, however, to provide $2 billion in funding for drilling off the Brazilian coastline. He is trying to spread the wealth to Brazil, while preventing wealth creation in U.S. oil fields.

Obama's desire to spread the wealth around includes spreading American-generated wealth to foreign countries. It was Obama who pushed his "Global Poverty Act" (S. 2433) to increase foreign aid to the level dictated by the U.N.

Obama is a centrist! Yippee! ~ By Victoria Jackson

I was so impressed with Joe Wilson's moment of gut-felt honesty spurting out that I painted his name on my arm. Judge Alito mouthed the words, "That's not true." He's my hero, too.

The following video is of the Sept. 12, 2009, Westwood tea party in California:

Video provided by PasadenaTeaParty ~ September 14, 2009

What if, just what if, Obama is the enemy, one of the Van Jones/William Ayers/Jeremiah Wright/Jarrett/Soros America-haters who are secretly intent on destroying America from the ground up and the top down? If that is the truth, Obama is succeeding.

You know that little lie detector part of your brain that knew my photograph at the top of this article was not taken in 2011, but in 1980? Use that when you listen to Obama.

Video provided by TheFischers ~ January 21, 2011

Actions speak louder than words.

Victoria Jackson continues on from where Robert Ringer left off in his column (Moving to the middle?) on the same day. As Mr. Ringer stated, we have to "totally ignore everything he says and watch closely everything he does." Victoria expands on that by letting us know that we need to be keeping in mind all of Obamessiah's lies. If anyone really believes that Obama will now move to the middle, they haven't been keeping their "truth detector" turned on.

And by the way, I think that Victoria may have been sending an apology to Glenn Beck by including the first video above in this column. She was a little rough on Glenn in her previous two columns. I'm just sayin'...

Jan. 26, 2011: Me at home in Miami

Wow! Obama's not a communist anymore! He's a centrist! Yippee!

Because I am now a Women Impacting the Nation mother, or WIN, I force myself to watch the boring State of the Union speech when I get home from Teenager's piano solo at a school event. I have a splitting headache because I am trying to fast and pray this week. I made it to three days.

Don't I look thinner and younger in my picture above?

O is reading his teleprompter. He is trying so hard to look like a conservative capitalist. The 2010 elections showed him that some of us are on to him. I've got his number. I've studied him. I don't want to. I'd rather study French or cooking or art. But, we mothers have to save America for our children.

(Has anyone noticed that whenever O does any small thing that is not communist, the stock market goes up? Our economy is desperate for a capitalist leader.)

In his stupid speech, the new Obama uses capitalist words like "competition" and "invent!" He says he will "consider" changes to Obamacare and tort reform! Centrist, centrist, centrist! O doesn't accidentally say "spread the wealth" or 57 states or "my Muslim faith!" (Well, he is reading from the friggin' teleprompter.)

Then, he criticizes oil companies. I guess that's to please the left. His "innovate" means government programs. His "invest" means spend money we don't have. He says "freeze on spending" and then he says spend on railways (no one uses). How do you spend and not spend? It's doublespeak. George Orwell's "1984." He thinks he's pleasing "both sides of the aisle." He mentions "amnesty for illegals." Ben Stein said, "Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens." O then says, "Tax the rich (the job-creators)." That's code for "spread the wealth," the anthem of "The Communist Manifesto." He's got to keep his commies happy. They put him there, they and the centrists.

Then he says, "Win the future!" quoting Newt Gingrich's book! Obama is one of us!

Not.

The communist has begun his 2012 campaign for the dumb people. Rumor has it that Obama high-fived Michelle backstage after his speech at the Arizona victims' memorial.

The tea party prevented Obama's takeover. People like me are on top of him, watching his every snakey lie. That thing called taqiyya allows Muslims to lie for Allah. (To me, it looked like O choked on the word "God" when he said "God bless America" at the end of his speech.)

Whew. Well, I did my duty. I watch the pundits and the response. Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann give very truthful, fact-filled speeches. Ryan and Bachmann have the transparency, wisdom and integrity that will save our country.

King Obama ~ By Joseph Farah

In his column today, Joseph made a point that stuck in my mind: "It's about being set apart, not about being like the rest of the world." That is absolutely correct, and a very good point. It is what has made The United States of America something very special, by NOT being like the rest of the countries. There is no reason why we should try to be like Europe, but the President seems bent on doing just that. The proposed VAT tax comes to mind...

You can organize. You can protest. You can sign petitions. You can rally. You can vote – all good things to do.

But ultimately, there is one real solution found in 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

"The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history."

Friedrich Hegel didn't get much right in his life. But he was right about that.

It's a story as old as the prophet Samuel, before David slew Goliath and before Solomon was a twinkle in Bathsheba's eye.

The people wanted change.

They wanted to be like all the other nations – presided over by a king.

They rejected self-government with accountability directly to God.

The Israelites pleaded with Samuel: "Make us a king to judge us like all the nations" (1 Samuel 8).

Samuel was greatly distressed by this popular uprising. So he asked God about it.

Here's what God advised Samuel: "Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them."

God recognized that His special, beloved, disobedient, chosen people didn't appreciate what they had – probably the freest, safest society on the face of the Earth. They were envious of other nations that were ruled by a king.

So He was inclined to grant them their wish. But, before doing so, He issued a warning to the people about what life would be like under the rulership of an earthly king:

• he would take their sons for his own purposes – making war, working for his government;

• he would take their daughters to do his bidding;

• he would take their property and redistribute it as he saw fit;

But the people didn't listen.

"Nay; but we will have a king over us; That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles," they said instead of heeding the warning.

Do you get the picture?

American Dream Or The Redistribution of Wealth? ~ By Julie Fredrickson

From Julie Fredrickson's NOTES on Facebook

By Julie Fredrickson

February 12, 2010

Blog #3 American Dream or The Redistribution Of Wealth

Fasten your seat belts if you’re reading this blog you could be in for a bumpy ride. I plan to jump so hard on my soapbox that I may crush it. Just thinking about the philosophy of redistribution of wealth makes my blood boil.

A reporter with a camera crew in tow during the Presidential campaign in the fall of 2008 picked up a conversation in which a seemingly average Joe (later dubbed Joe the Plumber) had mentioned to Candidate Obama that he was a small business owner struggling to maintain a living. Senator Obama replied that he had nothing against a business succeeding; however he felt that when it did succeed we had an obligation to spread the wealth around. I literally screamed at the TV. When I heard his response, “Are you kidding me”? “Did he really just say that”? “Is he a socialist or what”?

We should have seen the warning signs that clearly pointed to Senator Obama's views. He had been influenced by ties to groups like Acorn who he had represented as legal counsel before becoming a Senator and his long time association to several unions and their leaders. His opponent, Senator McCain pointed to ties from Senator Obama to radical friends in Chicago that had catapulted Obama to his seat in the Senate. Upon closer inspection; we would have discovered ties to a corrupt political machine in Chicago where positions in the business world and the political arena were up for grabs to the highest bidder. A closer look at his long time mentor and spiritual leader, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, would have revealed a sometimes vicious radical who spewed hatred, prejudice and anger from behind the pulpit. Ties were also traced from Valerie Jarret, who is a senior advisor and assistant to the president for the office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, to a close family friend, William (Bill) Ayers a known felon, was a self proclaimed founding member of a violent group called the Weather Underground, who’s goal it was during the Viet Nam war to overthrow the government of the United States culminating in the bombing of both the Capital building and the Pentagon.

'My cousin in Kenya' ~ By Joseph Farah

By Joseph Farah Posted: July 18, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Barack Obama had some interesting things to say in Italy to a group of African leaders. We don't have a transcript of the exact words. What we have instead is an account from Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Michael Froman. "He shared a personal story," explained Froman. "Everybody knows that his father was from Kenya, that he still has relatives living in poverty, and that while he's president of the United States, he feels poverty in a very personal way because of his family situation." Now understand the context of this statement. Obama was talking about a plan he and other G-8 leaders have been working on to transfer more of your wealth to Africa. Obama has managed to accumulate quite a bit of wealth himself very quickly through his community organizing and book-writing. Apparently, he doesn't feel any sense of personal responsibility toward his own family members in Kenya, many of whom he actually knows through his visits there. Instead, he feels only a "collective" sense of responsibility in which all Americans should be coerced into making life better for his relatives. Do you get the picture here? Froman continued to paraphrase Obama: "His cousin in Kenya can't find a job without paying a bribe, and that's not the fault of the G-8. And when companies can't operate without paying, in some parts of Africa, without paying the 25 percent fee off the top in bribes, that's not colonialism." Let the world know you stand with the Constitution and transparency. Display the "Where's the Birth Certificate?" magnetic bumper sticker. What Obama appears to be saying here is that it doesn't matter who is taking a cut of the action – it's still destructive to the economy. But isn't that exactly what Obama proposes to do here in the U.S. to pay for all his programs – be it "cap and trade" or nationalized health care? Doesn't he want the federal government to take its cut of the action? And isn't that action far bigger than the 25 percent shakedown fee being collected by the thugs in Kenya? I also just can't help but wonder what, if anything, Obama has done personally to help his destitute relatives in Kenya. I'm glad that he feels a sense of compassion for them. But he has the material wealth to aid them. Has he done so? Can he show us through that example how transferring wealth results in long-term success? If it doesn't work on a personal basis – family member to family member – why does he expect it to work through the coercive power of government? I think you know where I'm going: He doesn't expect it to raise the standard of living in those foreign countries. That's not even the point. The point of these programs is to lower the standard of living right here in the U.S. That's his goal. One other amazing comment by Obama in this meeting was translated for the public through Froman's statements to the press. He said the president shared that when his father, Barack Obama Sr., came to the United States from Kenya, that African nation's GDP was higher than Korea's. [CONTINUE READING]
