America too far gone to save? ~ By Anthony Martin

"Yes, I will continue to fight, " he continued, "But frankly I don't see a lot of improvement. Not only do I have to fight politicians who are throwing our freedoms into the garbage can, trampling on the Constitution in the process, but I must constantly fight to attempt to educate my fellow citizens in what it means to live in a free society with a Constitution that is supposed to protect our freedoms with the full force of the law. The number of people in America today who understand that the Constitution exists to protect our freedoms from government encroachments is very small."

I do not know who the patriot is that Anthony is writing about. Hopefully, Anthony was able to offer the person some encouragement. I can certainly relate to Anthony's person of interest, however, it would be sad if they are right. Is America too far gone to save?

Many of us still hope and pray that good people that believe in our freedom will come along and get voted into office. But are there enough of those people to start getting into office and helping us get our freedom back? And maybe the bigger question is, can we eventually educate enough people so they will understand the need to vote those people into office? Well, then, we can't just give up working and fighting to get the right people on the ballots, and we can never give up trying to get enough voters for them to get into office. We must. There is only one alternative, as Anthony wrote:

Many if not most citizens have no intention of allowing themselves to become slaves to a government that has become drunk on its own power. Thus, the only alternative is war.

So, for those of us that are trying and doing our best despite our weariness and disillusionment, we have to keep on keeping on. We must remember what Winston Churchill said on October 29, 1941:

"[N]ever give in, never give in, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

Winston Churchill is the one person that always had the right to say, "Just sayin'..."

From Examiner.com

"The country is too far gone to save," he stated with melancholic certainty. "Too many citizens are just like those in Europe who believe that the welfare state that provides cradle to the grave social giveaway programs is to be preserved and expanded at all costs, even if it pushes the nation over the financial cliff into bankruptcy."

The one who provided this sobering analysis is a long time patriot, a defender of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and a fierce opponent of the ever expanding scope and power of an authoritative, centralized government complex. But he shared something that he will tell no one else, something that eats away at his very soul day in and day out. "In spite of the fact that I will continue to fight," he said, "I have grown weary, tired beyond imagination, and disillusioned with not only the politicians who get sent back to Washington over and over but with my fellow citizens who don't have a clue about the nature of the battle we're in."

Satire: Slap in the face or flattery? ~ By Victoria Jackson

Satire is a more subtle way to present one's ideology than the Joy Behar method: "(Sharron Angle is) going to hell! She's going to hell, this b---h!"

I wish we could attack the issues and not the people, but somehow it gets all tangled up. Joy Behar just called Chris Christie "fat" when "The View" brought up the issue of cutting public education funding to balance the budget. Oh, for the day when we can all be kind to each other and politely discuss the issues instead of each other's physical foibles, because it's in everyone's best interest to do so.

I know Jenn Dodd will be famous soon. I hope that she doesn't fall into the trap of selling her soul to the progressives in exchange for fame. She doesn't have to be a liberal to be creative, successful and funny. Maybe she will be a trendsetter and think for herself.

If I could give Victoria some words of encouragement, it would be what Mike Huckabee said is an expression from down South: "Be grateful when you're getting kicked in the rear, because it means that you're out in front." That should answer her question right off the bat, right along with the quote she attributes to Charles Caleb Colton at the beginning of her column. And I was just getting ready to tell myself that was enough to go on, to satisfy my own need for answers and awareness, when I suddenly discovered that there was a much deeper meaning of the column that I had missed.

First, Victoria pointed out how funny Ms. Jenn Dodd was, and as you'll see in the video below, the girl's got talent! Yes, satire in the form of imitation can be flattery, especially when it is clever and funny. Later in the column, though, Victoria alludes to the mean side of satire, and particularly political discussion. As she writes, "Satire is a more subtle way to present one's ideology than the Joy Behar method..." Absolutely! Sure, we've seen the Joy Bohar method, the politics of personal destruction, kind of like how Sarah Palin was treated during the election in 2008!

What Victoria was able to do in her commentary is actually an exposition of the difference between the way Conservatives and Liberals make their arguments. Liberals have become a collective of "Borg-like" drones, dedicated to the Saul Alinsky principles of attacking and demeaning their opponents, rather than making their own case on the actual facts of the issues. (Kind of like Casey Anthony's defense team is doing, isn't it?)

I am hoping that you will take my points into consideration as you read Victoria's latest article. She's right! Wouldn't it be much better if people could have a civil discussion rather than the way the progressives have this desire to throw in personal foibles, running people into the ground, rather than explaining why the Right is wrong? Doesn't that cast some doubt on the rational that they base their reasoning on?  (Of course, that explains why the Liberals/Progressives CAN'T!)   I'm just sayin'...

Satire: 1) a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn, 2) a trenchant wit, irony or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

"Imitation is the sincerest of flattery." Charles Caleb Colton (1780 - 1832)

I wasn't allowed in the piano exam room at the University of Miami, so I was standing in the hallway listening to my teenager's Rachmaninoff rumble through the wall. I started thinking about the news that Weiner's wife, Hillary's assistant, Huma, is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. Man. What a web of evil the capital has become. I started goofing around with my new cell phone. I cannot operate it. I put it in my pocket and it calls people. I kept swiping the screen trying to get Janine Turner's number because I was booked to be on her new radio show in exactly 10 minutes. Swipe, swipe, swipe. It kept flying past J and landing on P. Then, YouTube popped up and I stumbled upon this video of a young lady named Jenn Dodd doing an impression of me!

Video provided by jenndoddisfunny on Mar 24, 2011

My first thought was, Ouch, she's making fun of me. My second thought was, Wow, she's making fun of me. My third thought was, She's really talented and funny. My fourth thought was, Tell "Saturday Night Live." (So I did.) My fifth thought was, I hope that while she's researching me, she learns something about the danger our country is in.

When I was 20, the last thing on my mind was "my country." But, things were different then. Our president wasn't a communist. People can laugh, but it doesn't change the facts. I looked up O's church of 20 years' mission statement. It is frighteningly racist (white hating) and Marxist. If brilliant comediennes want to make fun of me for exposing that, fine. I love to laugh. But, if Obama is elected for a second term, no one's going to be laughing.

Next time Jenn satirizes a conservative, I hope she listens to the message. "Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy" (Winston Churchill). It rewards lethargy and apathy. Capitalism rewards motivation, ingenuity and action. Right now, half of the adults in America are receiving some kind of government benefit and not paying taxes. This system is unsustainable. How can I explain this to a 20-year-old?

I'll let Allen West explain it.

We're all communists now ~ By Ellis Washington

The official Soviet party newspaper was called "Pravda" (truth), but printed only lies and communist propaganda. The Soviets mastered absolute control of all media so that the people remained ignorant, fearful and suspicious of the U.S. America's media has long championed socialist propaganda. Thank God for WND!

Since about 1937 when FDR's "New Deal" programs were ruled constitutional, America has gradually devolved into a socialist nation which if Obama gets re-elected in 2012 will push our nation totally into communism. Lenin boasted, Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. America's only hope is to ally with independent-minded people like the tea party, deconstruct every brick of the communist welfare state via the electoral process while purging the GOP of RINOs, take back the courts and reestablish a political discourse rooted firmly on the foundations of God, natural law, fair capitalism and the original intent of the framers of the Constitution.

See "What is Communism?" at 1:04 mark:

In a very important column written by Ellis Washington, he explains how "socialism" is just a euphemism for "communism." To make it more clear what he meant, I looked up euphemism to find out that it means "the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt."

I salute Ellis for making this point. I know, it is really difficult to accept that the word "socialism" could ever be considered to be "mild." Yet, millions of Americans apparently think that there is no problem with socialism. It is a word that no longer seems to be offensive. And how could that possibly happen? You'll find out when you read this column, from beginning to end. Watch the video presented above, from beginning to end.

Now, one more thought I had after reading this column. I got down to the part where Ellis began with, "America's only hope...", and there were a lot of things that would need to get done. How, Ellis?

Ellis, are you really saying that obscure individuals like me can make a difference, and accomplish the tasks that you spelled out in that paragraph?

Let's be honest. "Fighting City Hall" is not an easy task. Even if you find a way to touch a lot of people, you can find your venue quickly erased. Ask Glenn Beck. Or just ask me, someone who was formerly on youtube that had 4.3 million total views of my 1300+ videos, only to be simply and swiftly terminated. ... Never mind.

While I'm happy to tell you that I absolutely agree with what Ellis tells us that needs to be done, there should be no doubt that some of us will end up paying a price. I'm not even sure how big of a price will need to be paid. There are some like Michael Murphy that were willing to pay the ultimate price. And then there are some like Victoria Jackson, and many more like her, that would give up potentially lucrative Hollywood careers to tell it like it is.

So, to stop the disease of socialism - soon to devolve into communism - that is infecting America, what price are you willing to pay? Are you willing to speak up after calculating the possible consequences? Would you be willing to share what you learn? I know many people that do, and they are my heroes. But, are there enough of us without your help? I'm just sayin'....

We're all communists now

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

– Sir Winston Churchill

Communism in America was exposed in a 1958 book by conservative writer Cleon Skousen, "Naked Communist." State-controlled capitalism, Federal Reserve, federal taxes, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unionism, welfare statism (subsidies) and pension plans, are examples of the thousands of treasonous Ponzi schemes and slush funds politicians have used since the 1850s to dumb down society, buy votes and broker power.

Examine this simple syllogism below from the own mouths of the forefathers of communism:

• Marx: Democracy is the road to socialism;

• Lenin: Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism;

• Marx: The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

The logic is both diabolical and totalizing. Socialism is merely a euphemism for communism. Ergo, we're all communists now.

Skousen's book cited 45 communist strategies used to systematically deconstruct American institutions – Christianity, economics, education, capitalism, science, politics, the courts, natural law, etc., by purposely collapsing the system via the Cloward-Piven Strategy – top down, bottom up, inside out, and from the ashes erect a glorious new society based on Marxist atheism and the god of the state. Let's examine whether Skousen's predictions have come to fruition:

Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Disarming the U.S. didn't start during the anti-war protests of the hippies, anarchists and socialists of the 1960s. Homegrown traitors of America have disarmed America by giving military secrets to our enemies. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and physicist's Robert Oppenheimer and Klaus Fuchs are just the most conspicuous. We have disarmed our military by promoting appeasement generals, putting women in combat positions and allowing homosexuals to serve openly.

Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

Wilson's League of Nations (1919) became the United Nations under FDR at the San Francisco Conference in April, 1945, just 13 days after he died in office after serving four terms tirelessly deconstructing American society brick by brick and turning it into a servile welfare state. NATO is the U.N.'s de facto military presently fighting in Libya under the George Soros responsibility to protect doctrine. Many more U.N. wars will follow.

Free stuff ~ By Victoria Jackson

After I got kicked out of Olive Garden, my mom said, "We are so tired of hearing about Obama, the Muslim, the communist, the birth … we have heard it for five years now and we are sick of it."

Me: (Five years?) "Um, yeah, me too."

I started thinking. If you are in a burning building, when do you quit screaming "FIRE!"? When everyone is safe.

That's why I must keep bothering my friends and neighbors with horrible facts. Sorry.

Victoria says it all in her conclusion: "Liberals say they care, but they keep them there. We say we care, and we want them outta there! I'd rather be a conservative and help the poor get rich!"

In this column, Victoria explores the art of persuasion, as in trying to explain to somebody why liberalism, progressivism, socialism, and communism don't work.  For an example of her "lack" of having the "gift of the art of persuasion" that she gives us, she was talking to a young woman - an obvious idiot - who voted for Obama and planned to again in 2012, and Victoria "tried to give her a crash course on capitalism / socialism / communism to no avail." But, I have to tell Victoria that it seems that she DOES have the "gift," and I believe that you will agree after you read this very persuasive column, "Free Stuff." Victoria firmly believes that we need a Republican candidate who does have the gift, "someone like Reagan, because there are a lot of dumb people out there who need a calm, coherent, persuasive, good communicator who doesn't get frustrated by idiots."

Oh, by the way, speaking of the Gipper... HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY, RONALD REAGAN! I know that Ronald would be proud of Victoria Jackson.

Walking the streets of San Juan for my first time, I try to think up adjectives for my postcard. It looks "beat up," poor, tired and dirty … bruised. Orwellian. What America will look like if Obama wins in 2012. I went to the Starbuck's Internet Cafe and couldn't get a connection. The barista told me, "Unfortunately, a man died today and fell into the Internet and broke it, so no one can get service. It's in the newspaper. I'm sorry." I looked at my friend Larry. After a long moment of confusion, we burst out laughing. I still don't understand that sentence.

I'm scared and saddened that there are still Americans who don't understand who is running our government and what their goals are.

I try to educate my friends and family, but my enthusiasm sometimes gets in the way. I do not have the gift of "the art of persuasion."

I got kicked out of Olive Garden this week.

I was at my friend's 80th birthday party, and I innocently invited her grand-niece to my next W.I.N. meeting. Niece said she couldn't come to my house to pray for our country because she voted for Obama and is voting for Obama in 2012. Oh. OK. I was dying of curiosity and asked her why she voted for him. Her reasons:

1)  "Change"
2)  He's ending the war, someday
3)  He loves his daughters
4)  He's a "strong" leader
5)  He gives me "free stuff"

I tried to give her a crash course on capitalism / socialism / communism to no avail. She gets "free stuff!" She doesn't care where it comes from or what the big picture is.

She said, "What's wrong with communism? Everyone should be equal." My heart rate quickened. My blood pressure shot up. Everyone is created equal, but everyone doesn't end up equal because of the choices they make. Some good, some bad. Why should I be punished for her bad choices? When she said that "Republicans only care about themselves," I almost exploded. When she said I wouldn't understand because I'm a "movie star" I almost stabbed my eyes out with my fork. I couldn't find it in myself to scream out, "My mind-numbingly boring waitress-typist-file-clerk-gym-coach jobs also supported you! Not just my TV jobs! You idiot! You should be thanking me!"

What made someone ask me to leave was when I was trying to explain abortion to this Obama-lover. I told her that Obama voted not only for "partial-birth abortion," which is cracking the skull of a baby and sucking it's brain out, but that he promoted a law that says if a baby accidentally survives an abortion it should be killed. She said, "Where did you hear that?"

Me: "It's public record. The Internet."

Her: (condescending) "Oh, come on now – you believe the Internet?! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

I then pointed to a stranger at the next table and said, "Freedom? I should have the freedom to kill her?" I was trying to explain that a baby has the same rights as the stranger sitting next to me … but I guess it all went wrong.

I do not have the gift of "the art of persuasion." Let's hope we can find a Republican candidate who does, someone like Reagan, because there are a lot of dumb people out there who need a calm, coherent, persuasive, good communicator who doesn't get frustrated by idiots.
