They Don’t Listen ‘Cause They Don’t Care
8/19/10
Why doesn’t the government that we elected listen to us? A common call from many Americans.
They Don’t Listen ‘Cause They Don’t Care or, more appropriately “We Don’t Listen ‘Cause We Don’t Care” should be the mantra of the Obama Administration and Congress – if they were to actually be transparent.
Why should they listen –they’re the ruling class and they know what’s best for the unwashed masses. In their eyes, the American public is just too dumb to know what’s good for us, modern day Neanderthals that they are forced to put up with.
Why should they listen? The Democratic Liberals and Progressives consider themselves the intellectual elite who look down upon the people as ignorant peons – nothing more.
We want things like affordable and accessible health care – oh no, that’s only reserved for members of Congress and the socialistic insurance czar, Donald Berwick, who will receive the “Cadillac” insurance plans (along with their crony Union bosses).
Let’s look at the ever growing list:
The withering economy and rising unemployment – During the Obama campaign, the biggest promise was to turn the economy around and decrease unemployment below 8%. Although it’s the number one concern for most Americans, it seems like this has “taken a back seat” to just about every new issue that arises.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Health Care – Well over 65% of the American public did want Health Care reform, but not government controlled – and mandated – health care coverage. We also didn’t want the government to take over the insurance industry, which is essentially what they’ve done. Still, over 60% of the people want the government health care law repealed because we’re now seeing premiums increasing significantly and know the quality of care will decrease significantly.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Takeover of Banks, Auto Industry, Student Loans and implementation of Financial Reform Law - Americans didn't want it, but it too was simply forced upon us.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Stimulus Plan – Most Americans were against this poor use of money, and we were right – the government shelled out almost a trillion dollars and hardly created any private sector jobs (oh yeah, they created plenty of needless, highly paid government jobs, but that’s not going to help our ailing economy).
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Out of control spending – A large and growing number of Americans know that this rampant borrowing and money printing is getting completely away from us. We’re at over 13 ½ trillion and increasing literally by the second. What does the government do – they continue to borrow, print more money and spend, spend, spend.
The "euphemism" for what Bernanke / the Fed is now doing is known Quantitative Easing. This is where the government buys government securities from the market which in turn increases the money supply by flooding banks and other financial institutions with capital in order to try to promote increased lending / liquidity. The problem with this, is that it only serves to devalue the dollar - which could cause a currency collapse, and, once the money is "unleashed" into the economy, will inevitably result in rampant inflation! Too many dollars chasing too few goods and services = INFLATION.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Taxes – Non-extension of the Bush tax cuts, which will ultimately result in the biggest tax increase in our history. This will affect everyone – not just those making over $250,000 per year – everyone. Then there’s the 1% transaction tax that they’re pushing – doesn’t sound like a lot, but once this tax is instituted, they’ll have the ability (and motivation) to increase it rapidly. Value added tax / VAT – a tax on consumption – on everything you buy (it’s not here yet, but you can “bet your bottom dollar” it will be). The Estate tax / death tax – your survivors will have to give the government between 40 – 60% of your estate. America cannot afford these kind of taxes, especially with impending inflation – and the government knows it.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Immigration – Have you ever heard of the Federal government suing one of our states for trying to do a job that the Feds should be doing, but will not do. Over 70% of the American public sides with Governor Brewer in Arizona. Despite numerous protests from the people, the government forges on with their absurd law suit.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Offshore Drilling – One mistake, albeit tragic, out of tens of thousands of offshore oil well drilling over the past decades and the federal government wants to institute a six month blanket moratorium on offshore oil drilling. And don’t think for a second, if they have their way, this moratorium won't last much longer than just six months. The public has protested loudly – the main stream liberally slanted media, of course, completely ignored these protests. This moratorium will kill over 6% of our GDP, cost over 20,000 jobs and 30% of the income in the gulf, while at the same time, making the US more dependent on America hating foreign oil producers. This would hurt our already hurting economy big time. We won the first attempt at the moratorium, but the Federal government is now trying a different angle.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Cap & Trade – This proposed law (scam of Biblical proportions) will serve to vastly increase energy costs for the American public – consumers and private sector businesses alike, while making a handful of corrupt backers of this law very wealthy and more powerful, hence more capable of retaining power and control. We have begged them to drop this – the Senate shot it down earlier this year – but Prince Harry Reid vows to continue to try to get it passed next year.
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
Building a mosque by ground zero – The biggest attack on US soil in history, costing thousands of American and foreign lives is being used by the “moderate” Muslims (quotes are used around moderate because these are simply radical extremists in “sheep’s clothing”) to build a tribute / shrine to their perceived victory over the United States. This is spitting in the eye of all Americans and especially those who lost loved ones in that infamous attack on our country. The supporters of this travesty say it is to create unity and healing – it’s simply emotionally crushing the family and friends of the victims and insulting to their memory. Former Mayor Giuliani says a proposed project for an Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero is creating more division, anger and hatred. He continues to say that if the center’s leader Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf was really committed to healing and bonding, he would build this center and mosques elsewhere.
If he does go through with this, he is not a healer, he’s a warrior. This is a major “dividing point” in America and the biggest issue in the media today – over 70% of all Americans (not just New Yorkers) do NOT want this mosque built two blocks away from Ground Zero, but the federal government supports it. In fact, Nancy Pelosi is threatening to investigate the funding of those that oppose the building of this mosque – how do you think that makes the surviving family, friend, first responders, etc. feel? On the other hand, they don’t want to investigate who is funding this $100 million dollar insult of a project, but are spending $16,000 of our taxpayer dollars for this radical Iman Rauf to gather support (and raise more funding dollars, despite what he says) in the Muslim world – preposterous!
Why aren’t they listening to us – ‘cause they don’t care.
At this point, one might wonder: Then what do they care about? That’s, unfortunately, a very easy answer. What this administration cares about is:
-Staying in power
-Dividing the people of America, thus making them easier to “conquer” – Divide and Conquer
-Ruling, not governing, the American people
-Creating a police state where they “make up the rules as they go” with no constraints whatsoever
-Making Congress irrelevant (that’s already essentially been accomplished)
-Penalizing honest productivity, which, by the way, is what created this once great country and economy
-Encouraging dependence on the rapidly growing federal government
-Controlling every aspect of the human experience – social, financial and liberty
-Transforming our country into a Socialist / Communist society
This administration is trying to condition / train the public to be capable to “think the unthinkable” – that’s the ruse. Make this outrageous, radical agenda become so commonplace that the public just throws up their hands and decides: That’s just the way it is.
We, as Americans, cannot let this happen – get out on November 2nd and let this Socialist ruling class government know that they will not get away with this – we are not stupid, and thanks only to conservative radio and TV, we are no longer uninformed.
We will not fall divided, because United We Stand!

Just Say NO
Just Say NO
8/4/10
Just Say NO to the police state that the Obama administration wants to impose on the American people – against our collective will.
The “Show Me” state (Missouri) showed us how it’s done. Over 70% of the citizens of the state of Missouri voted against the federal mandate to purchase federal health care insurance. Missouri voters' overwhelming opposition to requiring nearly all Americans to buy health insurance puts one of the least popular parts of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law back in the political crosshairs and will serve to increase motivation for others all over the country that oppose it to get out to the polls on November 2nd. This will inevitably lead to another law suit against the Federal government and their health care law.
There are now 21 states (and counting) getting involved in fighting the federal health care law. Yesterday, Judge Henry Hudson, who had written a 32-page opinion saying that the law “radically changes the landscape of health insurance coverage in America.” has decided Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli can sue the federal government over health care reform. According to Judge Hudson, the law suit “raises a host of complex constitutional issues”; the notion that the government’s authority could include “the regulation of a person’s decision not to purchase a product” was new to the federal courts, the judge concluded, and so the state’s protest could not be dismissed outright as desired by the federal government. The Virginia case not only wants to repeal the health care law, but to modify the Commerce Clause altogether as to avoid future abuse of this clause.
Also, we have Van Irion, a Tennessee Constitutional attorney, who has initiated a Class Action Suit over the constitutionality of the federally controlled health care law. When Mr. Irion tried to hand deliver the petition, signed by of over 25,000 concerned American citizens, Nancy Pelosi laughed at him, Harry Reid was outright rude to him and the White House would not let him bring the petition inside.
I’m no kid – I’ve been around a few years – but I never remember so many lawsuits against our own Federal government.
Take the Arizona sheriff who said: “Arizona isn’t only fighting the illegal aliens and drug cartels from Mexico, but we’re also fighting the United States government.” You know, the United States government - the ones that are supposed to protect the states from, in this particular case, the “invasion” of illegal’s from Mexico, which include many drug, human and weapons smugglers, thugs and murderers.
Back to the health issue, the federal government is absolutely trying to quietly / insidiously turn us into a police state – or worse yet – a Sharia state. Also, on a somewhat separate note (speaking of Sharia law), the building of the mosque near ground zero in NYC should be a “Yes / No” question put on the ballot in New York so the people could decide whether it should be built in that area. This way, it gives an “out” to spineless politicians such as Andrew Cuomo and Michael Bloomberg. At a recent press conference White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs stated that the mosque issue was a local issue (meaning New York City) and that the White House had no comment. A local issue, huh, tell that to the families of the 3,000 people from all over the country and world that perished on September 11th by the hand of radical Islamists. I somehow don’t think they would understand or agree with Mr. Gibbs about it being a local issue. Also another vote is being demanded from the Historical Society / committee of New York (aka Mike’s tool box) due to the fact that the building that they want to tear down is over 150 years old and was hit by a piece of one of the planes that crashed into one of the twin towers. It appears that this committee had made up it’s mind before actually reviewing all the facts – another surprise.
Back to Just Say NO to a police state. A police state is a state / country in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive {branch}. Notice that since the Obama administration has now made our Congress irrelevant, the executive branch of government now decides which laws it wants passed without a constitutional vote or thorough review of the proposed bills by Congress. Have you ever heard of a Dictator needing to consult with a Congressional body?
So we have three forms of control in a police state: Social Control, Economic Control, and Political Control.
Let’s take them one at a time:
BMI (Body Mass Index). The government wants to impose a penalty (although they term it a tax) on parents whose children don’t live up to the pre-established government standards of the “proper / ideal” weight for the child’s height. Also, not allowing people in San Francisco to purchase a Pepsi Cola from a vending machine located on federal property. Then there’s the elimination of pet stores in San Francisco. The list goes on and on and is growing daily. That is social control.
Financial Reform Law. It passed without the people getting to review it and no one in Congress read it either. It imposes very strict limits on the financial industry, of course, favoring the biggest players / political contributors to the Democratic party and hurts / penalizes the smaller players in the financial industry.
Also look at the usurping of the insurance industry, most of the automobile industry and student loans.
That is economic control.
Elimination of Bush tax cut extension. Not extending the Bush tax cuts for people making over $250,000 per year. First off, by not extending these tax cuts, everyone will end up paying more income tax – not just those making more than $250,000 per year. It will also increase the capital gains and dividends tax causing uncertainty in the markets and further damaging an already hurting economy. Think about it, this is the one and only campaign promise that Obama is keeping – do you think it’s a coincidence that it is the one that will hurt small business and the American economy the most – of course not – it’s quite purposeful. Look at the health care reform law and the attempted Cap and Trade bill (discussed in earlier postings).
These are attempts at political control.
The main stream press won’t tell you – they’re the administration’s puppets (just as the Obama administration are the puppets of George Soros). Again, they (liberally slanted main stream media) never mention the major protests against the building of the mosque near ground zero as well as never mentioning the major protests in the gulf over the absolutely unnecessary six month blanket moratorium on offshore drilling – not a word. The moratorium will only destroy approximately 30% of the local economy of the gulf and put over 20,000 people out of work, possibly permanently. But again, the main stream media has no comment.
If it wasn’t for conservative radio and TV, the American public would have no idea what this manipulative, scheming and deceptive federal government was trying to pull over on us. They call what they’re doing transformation, when in reality, it is the attempted elimination of capitalism and implementation of Socialism / public dependence on a big and growing federal government.
The federal government (mainly the Progressive “arm”) truly believes that the American people are stupid and cannot take care of ourselves, therefore we need guidance – no, not guidance – orders / mandates from the federal government what to do, how to do it and when they want it done. Once again, we must Just Say NO to the police state which is silently, but surely, being imposed upon the citizens of the United States of America.
If this health care plan is so good for us, why does the Congress get their own separate (and far superior) health care plan? Also why does newly appointed health care czar, Donald Berwick, get his own “luxury” health care plan while he preaches of the “great advantages” of socialized medicine?
Do you really think this health care law is for the good of the American public – of course not. It’s the ultimate power grab by the federal government (if they control your health, they control your and your loved one’s lives).
It’s not by accident – they want to control our Lives, Liberties and our Pursuit of Happiness. They currently have our lives – unless this awful health care reform law is repealed, are taking hold of our pursuit of happiness utilizing the uneven / deliberately slanted Financial Reform law, and now, they’re shooting for our Liberties. They are now pursuing telling us what to eat, again, under the guise of their “genuine concern” for the American public - that is unheard of in a free society – which we used to be.
Think about it, it’s the perfect ruse, feign concern for the American public, while insidiously taking away our Liberties with the aid of their silent ally, the main stream media!
We, as the American people, must Just Say NO to these Progressive Socialists / Communists at the polls on November 2nd.
We really have no choice at this point if we want to keep the American that we’ve grown to know and love.
We will not fall divided, because United We Stand.
