The Second American Revolution......
~ John Adams
As I ponder the coming Obama administrations intent to enlist America's youth into the "Civilian National Security Force" the intent is clear to me. Following 12 years of indoctrination of our youth in government run schools and 4 years of leftist brainwashing in our radical, anti-christian universities. The nail in the coffin of our nation as we know it will be nailed with the application of these ideals in the Obama youth group.
What did our Dear Leader mean when he said that the "Civilian Forces" should be as powerful, well trained and equally funded as our nations military? Why is Dear Leader convinced that "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we have set". I would like to hear Dear Leader outline what those national security objectives are. have they changed? What role would the civilian force play? Perhaps given the limits placed on federal troops to operate domestically, this force would defend against foreign invasion. The only problem with that, is that we already have a force in place for that. Its called the citizen soldier..also known as the NATIONAL GUARD!!!! Perhaps Dear Leader envisions a new enemy of the state. One that will blend right in with the population. An enemy that will be difficult to identify. Perhaps we will need eyes everywhere to flush them out and crush the threat to the security of the state. Perhaps this enemy will be oh....I don't know....oh yeah, YOUR NEIGHBOR!!! The one that is a hate mongering, intolerant, bigoted, homophobe racists with a mind so infantile that they would even consider the possibility that we have not evolved from a pool of prehistoric sludge. Yeah the hateful Holocaust denying Flat-Earthers who refuse to bow at the alter of "Climate Change". Maybe even...I don't know....YOU!!
So where does a Revolution begin? Well it starts in the home, in your home and mine. It starts in the minds of our youth. Hitler knew this, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Marx, they all knew this. I have been an advocate of the elimination of the Department of Education all together. To privatize our schools completely. Send the $15,000 or so it takes a year in taxpayer dollars to educate a child to the parents. Then allow us to choose the school we send our kids to. This will, most importantly render what may be the most damaging labor union in our nation, the NEA, impotent. There is no question that the union mentality leads to at best, mediocrity. The compensation of union members nothing to do with performance. We are spending $62.6 Billion this year in the Department of Education with discretionary and mandatory spending combined. That is a staggering number, or at least it used to be. Dollar figures in the hundreds of billions are tossed around in such a casual way now that it is difficult to comprehend the scope of the amount. With the amount of money we are spending on "education" how is it possible that on the whole we have one the most under-performing school systems in the world. This is inexplicable. Unless you consider who is running it. At the end of the day, as long as the government is in control of our children's education, they are in control of our children's understanding of our nation and the world. As a parent I am fortunate to have my children in a charter school which leans a bit conservative or is at least neutral on many issues, and has ZERO union presence. Private schools can be cost prohibitive for many Americans. The Home School movement is gaining momentum, and cooperative efforts have emerged to provide support for parents taking this bold step. Not all of us are in a position to have a parent stay home and educate their children. So is there another approach? I think yes.
I would suggest that like minded parents marshal resources and provide for the education of their own children. Why not cooperative education? Parents can share the cost of education for the children participating in the program. This would work thru a combination of volunteers and fees for expenses. The fees would only reflect the actual cost of operation. The current indoctrination of our children will be mainstream in the next generation. We need to "counter-indoctrinate" our children now. This is how we prepare the next generation for the next American Revolution. We can teach our children the principals our nation were founded on. Liberty, opportunity, Responsibility, faith, excellence, competition and all of the values that have been systematically removed from our government schools. Then we will have prepared our children for conscription into the Obama administration's "Civilian Defense Force". They will have a frame of reference founded on American ideals, principals, and constitutional law. Our Dear Leader wants to see the civilian defense force as well funded, trained, and equipped as our military. We can have a generation of children positioned to utilize this "Civilian Defense Force" training, funding and equipment to take our country back from a government which is systematically hijacking our nation.
One of the qualities the enemies of freedom have is patience. They have a generational vision. Americans tend to want immediate results. We are going to have to come to terms with the fact that we are now going to be considered revolutionaries. An enemy of the state. Sacrifice is going to be required, there will be pain. If we adopt a generational vision for our nation, the pain we suffer will lay the groundwork for our children and grandchildren to realize a successful defense of their Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.
"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."
-Ronald Wilson Reagan

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas? - Joseph Stalin
"Ve have vays of shutting you up"
This is beyond all belief. I never thought I would live to read a headline like this;“The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.” They call them "Truth Squads" What!? I could not believe this..."Truth Squads"? To make it even scarier, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer and St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch. All public law enforcement officials, who snapped too when they got their marching orders from the Fur...I mean the Obama Campaign.
Then we have the less publicized case of Sheila Conlee of Pueblo, Colorado. Owner of Amore Antiques & More. She was forced to close her store for an entire Saturday so that the Chosen One could have a campaign event. In protest Ms. Conlee exercised her First Amendment right to make a statement. So she placed a sign in her window. Well, the "Obama Brigades" were not
about to take that sitting down. So the organizers arraigned two Porta -Potties strategically so that they could conceal the sign with a large white tarp secured to them. It would seem that the "Truth Squads" are not only out there to correct "lies and Misleading Ads" ,they would not want the truth to get out either.
Then of course there is "Joe the Plumber" A man minding his own business in his front yard and guess who walks, or hovers an inch off the ground, up to him. The Chosen One, the Messiah, the bringer of all that is good and all that we need. In any case in an unguarded response to a fair question, the Divine One slipped up. Joe finds himself on the hit list of every Ohio government agency. His reputation is questioned, his personal life laid open for all to see.
- Then theres the reporters from the Washington Times, the New York Post and Dallas Morning news who were thrown of the Obama campaign plane after their news papers endorsed McCain.
- Orlando Fox News anchor Barbara West was banished by the Obama campaign after she asked tome pointed question of Joe Biden.
- Larry Sinclair, host of the Blog Talk Radio (BTR) "No Compromise", while interviewing a Philadelphia attorney who has filed suit challenging Obama's citizenship status had his program archives and show deleted while he was in the middle of his show!! Shannon Dingee-Kramer, BTR’s assistant Director of Customer Relations was responsible for this and within a couple of hours received an email from her saying he violated BTR terms of use stating,“racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, unreasonably violent, threatening, intimidating or harassing; and that it contained falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage BlogTalkRadio or any other person.” amazing!
- Kevin Miller, a conservative talk show host on Pittsburgh’s KDKA-AM, was given an on-air CBS Corporate Reprimand, read by his executive producer and prompted by listener complaints after Miller dared to interview guests critical of Obama and express his own negative opinions about the candidate.
- It is reported that YOUTUBE has been censoring video that is critical of Obama.
- All of this and I have not even mentioned The Fairness Doctrine.
There are several other examples but I will not belabor the point. Then there is the gun issue. here is a list of his voting record at least in part;
- Ok for states & cities to determine local gun laws. (Apr 2008)
- FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban. (Apr 2008)
- Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok. (Feb 2008)
- Provide some common-sense enforcement on gun licensing. (Jan 2008)
- 2000: cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month. (Oct 2007)
- Concealed carry OK for retired police officers. (Aug 2007)
- Stop unscrupulous gun dealers dumping guns in cities. (Jul 2007)
- Keep guns out of inner cities--but also problem of morality. (Oct 2006)
- Bush erred in failing to renew assault weapons ban. (Oct 2004)
- Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions. (Jul 1998)
- Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers. (Jul 2005)
I cannot help but draw the comparisons to Stalin's positions on the same issues. Ideas and guns, a people equipped with these tools are a threat to the powers that be. I suspect that in an Obama Nation, such transgressions will be unthinkable, and intolerable.

From Reagan to .....Franken?
Well The Great Ronald Reagan begot... Sonny Bono. Also a Republican, and a conservative. It is unfortunate that his inability to dodge a stationary object while skiing caused is premature exit from politics and the world. Sonny begot Clint Eastwood and his mayoral run in Carmel. Another Republican and more libertarian than conservative, which is not really that far removed on fiscal issues anyhow. Then there is the "Gov" Jesse Ventura. A lot of talk about personal responsibility, but he never really made an impact. I think he got to reading his own press a bit to much. I must admit though, I did like his anti-establishment attitude. Well it was all downhill from there. Arnold. A true R.I.N.O. if there ever was one. He said in an interview over the weekend that those in favor of same sex marriage should not worry because the courts may overturn the will of the people of California....AGAIN!!! Then what else would you expect from California. As the trend of Hollywood types moving to Washington continues there is Hillary Clinton. Although not from Hollywood, she came to Washington as a result of her celebrity rather than merit. She ran for President on the merits of her "experience". I thought that was a joke. Then we get Al Franken!!??
Is it possible that any reasonable person, with the cognitive skills equal to Sponge Bob would consider this charlatan for anything other that dog catcher? Seriously..Al Franken?!! the Church Lady!!?? Who could be behind such lunacy? Could it be mmmmm....SATAN?!! What a total putz. But I suppose I cannot fault anyone who wants to run for office. I mean if the electorate is stupid enough to vote for a guy who has never really had any responsibility, made any decisions of significance and has not demonstrated a single quality of leadership in his whole life well then who can blame the candidate? Besides, really, there would never be enough people who would vote such a candidate in ....right? WRONG!!!! As it turns out, half of the U.S. Electorate are more like Patrick that Sponge Bob. Completely devoid of any rational or independent thought whatsoever!!
So this is why I am compelled to speak out about this travesty. I never thought I would be embarrassed to be an American. But then we elect a Marxist President, and a failed comedian and talk show host has a chance to steal an election for a Senate seat. The Democrats are finding votes all over the place. In fact they found 35 or so "uncounted" votes in a poll workers car! They are going to steal this election if it is the last thing they do. This reminds me of of a quote;
"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." Joseph Stalin.
The beginning of the end?....
The mission of this blog is to promote conservative principals by communicating them in a common sense, concise and strait forward manner so that even those who are handicapped by a liberal indoctrination are able to understand, and perhaps even come back from the dark side. I can assure you that you will not find political correctness here. I will call a spade a spade and not be concerned with the feelings of those who are opposed to me. Reason, Logic and Common Sense will reign here while Barack Obama reigns in The White House.
A bit about me for those who might be interested:
I am not a Republican loyalist, but an independent conservative thinker. Like many of you I feel that the Republican Party abandoned the core values and principals that swept them into power 14 years ago. I am a conservative in the model of the great Ronald Reagan.
I am not here to simply bash the Democrats. There is more than enough of that going on. I will however tend to have more issues with their side for obvious, principled reasons.
My positions on several of the issues facing our nation are ;
- Belief in the individual to solve problems
- Government is the problem, not the solution
- Must have a pro-business policy
- Reduce the influence of labor unions in national policy
- Eliminate the IRS. Support the FAIR TAX....HR 25
- The elimination of the Department of Education and the privatization of our nations school system.
- Secure the borders now!
- Then address immigration policy
- Drill and mine every last drop of oil, natural gas, shale oil and coal we have.
- Support the conversion of all vehicles to compressed natural gas.
- Build Nuclear Power plants everywhere.
- Then..allow the free market to develop alternative sources of energy.
- Overwhelming national defense capabilities
- Support Life
This lists a few positions, I will outline several others in the coming days. I look forward to a lively debate and doing my part to save our nation from ourselves.
