Stop Elena Kagan's Nomination to the Supreme Court.

July 19, 2010

Stop Elena Kagan's Nomination to the Supreme Court.

Back during the election I stated that one of worst aspects of an Obama Presidency would be his appointments to the Supreme Court. It's a lifetime appointment. A Judge that Obama selects is like having Obama on the Supreme Court for 30 or 40 years - most of us can't wait until he's gone and don't want anyone HE selects having that kind of power for that many years.

Kagan is exactly what the United States does NOT need on the Supreme Court. I do not like her lack of experience as a Judge. I do not like the fact that she used her position at Harvard to enforce HER beliefs on the military by blocking military recruiters from campus. I do not like her track record on abortion. I just plain don't like her lack of qualifications or her actions in the positions she's held.

Elena Kagan's nomination is still in the Judicial Committee. They will vote on her nomination soon, possibly tomorrow July 20th. If the Judiciary Committee vote passes, then the vote on her nomination will then move to the entire Senate.

Help stop her in the Committee.

Below is a table listing all the members of the Judiciary Committee. Email, call, or fax them with your objections.

If you're not in their state or district, its standard practice for Legislators to respond to your email, phone call, or fax with a message of "we only listen to and respond to our constitutes". This really chaffs my biscuit! If you email or fax, you should include something like this in your correspondence (but don't use my exact words): "I am not in your state. However, you are on the Judiciary Committee, so for business of the Judiciary Committee, the entire country is your constituency. You should listen to, and read, all the email, faxes, and phones call you receive, and not try to block out those from outside your state."

Take action now:

The Senate Judiciary Committee

Until Next Time,
Fred Black

P.S.
Kagan passes the Senate Judiciary Committee with a party-line vote with the EXCEPTION of Republican Lindsey Graham who voted FOR her. Lindsey Graham said during comments prior to the vote that the Constitution says "elections have consequences" and that he believes presidents are entitled to have their judicial picks confirmed whether he likes them or not.

Lindsey - you're an idiot.

Now we must start relentlessly pounding the Senate members to vote NO.

Leadership Starts at the Top - So Does Corruption.

July 17, 2010

Leadership Starts at the Top - So Does Corruption.

President Obama is blaming the GOP for the Economic Woes of the Country (while he goes on yet another vacation)? Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Barney Frank, and Frank Dodd done everything possible to DESTROY the Economy (and the country) and he blames the GOP? If he wasn't doing EXACTLY what he set out to do, what he SAID he would do, it would be a JOKE, but the jokes on us.

Despicable does not even come close to describing the evil this administration is doing. Manufactured crises and racial division... if you think these things are accidents or coincidences then you need to wake up and realize that you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

How does an administration shut down the fossil fuel industry? Yes, I know we've proven global warming is a hoax, but its purpose was the same - shut down the fossil fuel industry. They create crises in the coal and oil industries and issue stifling regulations and bans.

How does an increasingly unpopular President, who happens to be black, ensure that he gets as much of the black vote as possible in the next election? Divide the county on race and hope that anger will make black voters vote for him. It saddens me to see this happening. Sure there are still race issues, there always will be because there will always be a small number of people filled with hate. If black people are concerned about the claims of the Tea Party being racist then I encourage them to attend Tea Party functions and see for themselves. I also would like to know how the NAACP can vote on and pass a statement condemning the Tea Party for being racists when they do nothing about the Black Panther raging lunatics telling people to kill white cracker babies and standing outside polling places with Billy sticks.

I hope that Americans who happen to be black will stand up and say enough is enough. We don't need a black President, we don't need a white President, we don't need a red, green, or blue President. We need a GOOD President, one who will follow the Constitution and LOVE this Country instead of DESTROY it.

Leadership starts at the top - so does corruption. It's obvious that the Democrats and a few Republican members of Congress are not listening to their constituents. We MUST vote them out in November. We MUST get people involved. We MUST make sure people understand the issues and vote these Traitors and Criminals out of office.

Until Next Time,
Fred

I Can Prove Socialism Sucks for Just 25 Cents...

July 12, 2010

I can prove socialism sucks for just 25 cents...

Anyone who still doubts that Obama and the Democratic party is leading us down the path to socialism is like the Pinball Wizard in that old song by The Who - "Deaf, Dumb, and Blind"!

I guess in a perfect world socialism would work. Everyone would produce to the best of their abilities whatever it is that they're best at doing and share with everyone else. But, this is FAR from a perfect world. Besides, perfect utopia is NOT what Obama and the Democratic Party is interested in, they're interested in staying in power. And to maintain that grip on power, they want as many people as possible dependent on the Government, and the bigger the Government the better. Socialism is the way to achieve that dependent voting base.

Conservatives want the opposite: they want smaller and smaller Government and fewer and fewer people dependent on Government handouts and programs. They know that here in the real world, if you teach a man to fish he can feed himself and his family... however... if you just give him a fish, he'll eat that fish and want another one... and another one... and another one... and another one... until he's lost the desire, ability, and reasoning to catch a fish if he had to.

Proof of this is all around us if we open our eyes.

Socialism is like the way most grocery stores and big box home stores handle their shopping carts. You buy something and wheel it out to the parking lot in a shopping cart, or buggy, as we call them here in God's country, the south. In a perfect "socialist" world, we'd all return our shopping carts back to the line of waiting carts in the store or at the entrance to the store. But do we? Heck no, we just leave them everywhere. So most stores have blocked-off areas in their parking lots designated to hold shopping carts... making it easier for customers to "centralize" returning their carts vs. just leaving them everywhere. Does it work? No. It works better than nothing, but a lot of people still do not return the cart unless they're parked close to one of the little return areas - they still leave them everywhere.

One store in our area has solved this problem. They don't have collection areas in their parking lot at all. Everyone returns their cart to the entrance of the store. Why? Because to get a cart, you have to insert a quarter into a small device on the handle of the cart and then you can remove the cart from the cart holder. You only get your quarter back if you return the cart to the cart holder: once it's in place you can remove your quarter. Simple and effective!

Here we have a perfect example of why socialism will never work and why capitalism always will. Socialism will never achieve the level of economic success and quality of life that capitalism can, and does. All proven by a simple shopping cart... and 25 cents! Returning a shopping cart is a simple, easy task to perform. It only takes a few minutes and minimal energy. What about a lifetime of work? If people can't even manage to do the "right thing for the better good" with a shopping cart, a lifetime of work in a socialist system will surely be subpar.

In socialism, everything becomes a race to the bottom vs. a race to the top. Socialism ignores the fact that man (as an animal) is at his best when there's some competition involved. Socialism ignores man's inherent sinfulness and laziness. Some of the most vocal socialist are also some of the same people trying to remove the competitiveness from youth sports. They're trying to make it all even and fair. Life's not even and fair. Competitive sport is a great way to grow, mold, and develop a young person towards a life time of achievement. The lessons learned in practice and on the field are invaluable in life. Transforming youth sport into an exercise of not keeping score and making everyone a winner will in reality make everyone a loser. It's the same with Socialism: after sufficient time everyone loses.

Until Next time,

Fred

P.S. Unions have the same effect.

Rocket Man Hussein: The Borg President Has Taken Over...

July 6, 2010

Rocket Man Barack Hussein Obama: The Borg President Has Taken Over...

...You WILL Be Assimilated!

Obama's Foremost Priority for NASA Chief: Better Relations with Muslim World. Well, his name IS Barack Hussein Obama, so are you surprised? I'm not. I am so sick and tired of this President and his anti-American mindset. I think the number one priority for the Chief of NASA would be to do as much as possible with the little funding Obama left him with... in SPACE... not worrying about building better relationships with a religious group. Just plain stupid. After 911, how many Muslims do we want piloting a space rocket? If you think a jet airplane could do some damage, just imagine what a huge rocket could do.

Stupid People or Just Ignorant?

How can Barack Hussein Obama and his cohorts dismantle this country as they're doing? Because for years the liberal led public education system has valued political correctness over true education. They value their liberal socialist agenda over accurately teaching history. We have a nation of people who don't care because they don't know better. They're not stupid, they're ignorant - there's a vast difference. They don't know what the Constitution actually says and they don't know a thing about how this country was founded. In fact, according to a new poll, a good percentage of people, 26%, don't know which country we fought for independence (it was Great Britain if you don't know)... even worse, 6% didn't know we fought any war of independence. Sad, very sad.

With a population this dumbed down, why would we expect people to get upset when the President treats the Constitution like a cheap hooker and doles out favors for his union buddies and his radical cronies?

With a population this dumbed down, why would we expect people to get upset when Obama runs on a platform of change and of transforming this country? We have the best system ever created. A Republic that works. Sure it has problems that need to be fixed, but not drastically changed or transformed. Change and transformation to Obama is a socialist or communist country instead of the United States that we know and love. Don't believe me? Look around. Read the ObamaCare package that was passed. Read the Banking Reform Act - it's worse. Did you ever think that the Government could just take over an industry? Multiple industries? What about the President just shutting down industries he doesn't like (example: no more drilling)? It's happening and will continue to happen until we stop him.

Blacks Really Ought Not Like Democrats...

Why do so many minorities, including blacks, like the Democratic Party? Because they're not taught ACCURATE history. Uh... folks, the Democrats STARTED the KKK to stop blacks from registering as Republicans... again... just like Amnesty for all the illegal immigrants in this country, it was a vote grab maneuver to keep themselves in office and in power.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President, a Democrat, brought us the Federal Reserve (another huge problem), and drastically expanded segregation of blacks.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican for good reason.

Slavery was brutal and awful. 200 years ago, if you happened to be a slave, you knew it... you were chained, restrained, beaten, and scared to try to escape. Today, it's not so obvious. Today's slaves are the masses of people who are dependent on Government Entitlements and vote to keep politicians in office who promise not to cut those entitlements (Democrats). These people scream things like: you owe us... where's the Government... we just want a better life... it's not fair... don't you care about us... you better take care of us. The list can and does go on and on. Generations of this dependence has been slowly building a larger and larger base of this slave class of people (voters to keep Government big and Democrats in power). Until now... this administration cranked up the entitlements and slammed the brakes on the economy: finally creating a Permanent Underclass. A slave class with no chains... and they BEG and PLEAD to stay slaves.

Modern Day Slavery - Pulling a Rabbit Out of a Hat...

If you or I tried to enslave a group of people, like was done 200 years ago, most members of that group would fight to the death to defend themselves (as they should). However, purposely mis-educating them, or by a lack of education, this same group willing agrees to be servants... they've been enslaved just the same. It's almost like magic...

Self-Serving Champions

This underclass has self-serving champions who help keep them in chains to line their own pockets and maintain their powerful status... Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and elected officials like John R. Lewis, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson-Lee. These people serve themselves, not the people they claim to champion or those who elected them.

The Misguided Shackled Mindset: Obama High School

It happens on local levels too. Here in my hometown, Burlington, NC, a local woman has requested that the school board rename one of the local high schools and one of the local middle schools to Obama High School and Obama Middle School (I kid you not!): Obama High School Obama Middle School . Why in God's Name would anyone want to honor this President? He's the worst President in history and the most UN-American. That's one surefire way to get a couple of schools burned down or mass student transfer requests to other schools. Here again you have a person who refuses to see the damage this man is doing to our country and the millions of people his policies are enslaving so that his party and his unions and his radicals can stay in power.

Freedom Looks Scary to the Oppressed

The funny thing is most of the people who support Obama would be much better off under a Conservative or Libertarian President. Obama's objective is to do exactly what he's doing: get as many people depending on Government handouts as possible so that during the next election cycle Democrats can say that a vote for a Republican is a vote to end entitlements with the hope that most of these people will vote to keep their handouts coming. The Democrats have been doing this for generations with Social Security.

Turning the Economy Around is Simple

However if we had a Conservative or Libertarian President who would drastically cut taxes, cut Government spending, and Government programs, the economy would take off like a rocket, like the Space Shuttle... we'd have jobs again, and people would have money in their pockets again, people would generously give to the poor again, and The United States would be a world leader again, and our space program would have something to do with space instead of Muslim Relations, and the underclass would be able to take care of themselves.

Amnesty: Looking for More Slaves

President Obama is considering using an Executive Order to grant amnesty to all the illegal immigrants in the country. The Democrats are afraid that they don't have enough support to maintain control in the upcoming November elections. So they're looking to expand their voting base. Obama has admitted that he is not securing the border because he wants immigration reform (translation: amnesty) and that if he secured the border he would lose his bargaining power. To me that sounds like Treason. The fact that Obama has his administration fighting Arizona is ludicrous - and reinforces every point I've made here... including Treason.

It's Up to You...

All the points I've made here are tied together. All ships rise with the tide or go down with the tide. I need everyone to spread the word. Tell others about this blog. Tell others to write, call, and email their Congressmen and Senators, to let their elected officials at all levels know how they feel and what they expect of them. Here's where to go to Contact Your Elected Officials.

What's the Most Damaging Thing Obama Can Do?

What's the most damaging thing Obama can do? Put Supreme Court Judges on the Bench that thinks like he does - it's a lifetime appointment. Let your Senators know that you expect them to vote NO on Kagan. If they're Republican and vote for her appointment, tell them that you will remember their vote when you're in the voting booth in November. Kagan is bad news, hand picked by Obama to carry his agenda to the Supreme Court, and would make Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers puke in their graves. Don't count on others doing this: YOU HAVE TO CONTACT YOUR SENATORS.

I'd Rather Loose a Friend than My Country...

If you're worried on loosing a few friends by speaking out... don't be, I used to be, but not anymore... I'd rather loose a friend or two than my country. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence had a lot more than a few friends to loose... they risked their lives, their family's lives, and their fortunes. Now we're watching the destruction of the very freedom they laid their lives on the line to create.

Until Next time... draw a line in the sand.

Repeal ObamaCare Bill Sponsor List

June 29, 2010

Repeal ObamaCare: H.R. 4972, introduced by Congressman Steve King, says the following...

This is what needs to happen - make ObamaCare go away. Poof! So why have only 90 of the 179 representatives that claim to be Conservative signed on as Co-Sponsors? Unfortunately we can't trust many of our Representatives to represent us. Americans overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare. Signing on to this bill as a Co-Sponsor should be a no-brainer in this election cycle. Makes you wonder why they aren't. Many of them want to water this bill down or include other "reforms". Any actual reform can only start with repealing this monstrous bill.

Below is a list of all the US Representatives, with those co-sponsoring at the beginning. Look up your elected official and if they're not at the top in the group of sponsors, remember this list come election time.

Thank you to Van Irion who is running for Congress in Tennessee's 3rd District: www.van4congress.org for this list.

Wall Street Reform Bill: A forced march to economic Armageddon courtesy of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

June 25, 2010

Email, Call, Write, or Visit your Senators and Congressmen and tell them to vote NO on this pathetic bill.

Once again it's 2000 pages of what? We don't know, and they're rushing it through and saying we have to pass it to see what's in it. DIDN'T WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM OBAMACARE. Enough is enough. I want to see Barney Frank and Chris Dodd OUT OF OFFICE - they're the cause of the economic meltdown (What Caused the Current Financial Crisis) and now they have a bill to fix it?

Obama Bows... He won't be happy until the country is prostrate and destitute (except for his Union buddies)

Barney Frank - Caused the Economic Meltdown and is STILL making policy - he SHOULD be in jail!

Chris Dodd: Putting Sand In The Gas Tank Of Capitalism

Psycho-Babble Queen of Self-Interest Economic Destruction

Above are the four members of the United States Wrecking Team. If we don't stop them, who will???

Why are the idiots in charge? Because we have an American Idol President and America Got It WRONG!

It's everyone's responsibility to stay engaged enough to know what's going on and to vote. But just voting is not enough. You have to contact your elected officials and let them know how you feel about what they're doing, about various bills, and when you're mad as xxxx. It's time... We need a full-court press to stop this disaster.

Click here to contact your elected officials

Until next time,
Fred
