Black Sunday
This weekend should be noted on all calendars as Black Friday, because we all had front row media seats and an equal opportunity to witness the power of a single party system, the Obama oligarchy now coupled to political history. Oligarchy is a form of government by the self appointed elite for the elite (my crass definition).
Our nation’s founders, immigrants one and all, set up our radical legal system underpinned with familiar Judeo-Christian principles of the day, written in the common language used by our founders-the Kings English. Beginning with our Declaration of Independence and followed by the world changing Constitution of the United States they crafted our legal system carefully.
This weekend, I watched in horror as progressive democrats fecklessly and contemptuously dismantled our constitutional rights in full view of the American citizenry with openly displayed disregard to the will of the majority; Nancy Pelosi and her cronies gaily prancing through the capitol in a chorus line, mocking the assembled protestors. Was Pelosi singing a ditty, “. . . let masses eat cake” by any chance?
Americans voted for change and have gotten what they desired; anyone but Bush. They chose to elect a man whose background and qualifications were superficially vetted by a complacent progressive news media, complicit in promoting the not so hidden agenda of Obama.
This man Obama is a bigoted liar, bereft of ethics, amoral in every sense of the word and a treacherous politician. He is a cowardly and clever in his political dealings, never leaving his fingerprints attached to his handiwork when he can lay his accountability at the feet of his lackey’s, which group now encompasses the entire progressive democratic party of America headed by Pelosi and Reid.
Obama campaigned for office, using carefully scripted telepromted speeches, railing (among other issues) about our world image and the supposedly shameful interrogation techniques used against our enemies captured on the field of battle. Techniques that involved water boarding, dogs, isolation, sleep deprivation, never ending interrogations, badgering, psychological pressure, threats and humiliation to name a few. Except perhaps for the water boarding and growling dogs( excluding Pelosi, Reid and a few others), these techniques are the very same political abuses perpetrated at the hand(s) of that very same Obama oligarchy against members of our elected representatives in full view of the American public. Where is the outrage?
I am not shocked and nor should anyone else be surprised by our presidents gall; Obama was very clear in his language and actions concerning the outcome of his Presidency. He would be our socialist messiah and mold America into his version of a socialist paradise. Chavez, Castro, Putin, Bin Laden, Kim Jong Il and other despots are likely penning congratulatory tomes to honor his efforts to conquer and destroy America.
Are we to stand by in silence?
Yes, if you like the IRS operating like the German Gestapo or the Russian KGB in support of the government running every aspect of your life, protecting you from any of life’s boo boo’s . That is in fact, another insidious form of slavery, whose roots were finally pulled out by civil war in 1864 at the cost of nearly 700,000 lives.
No, if you want to run your own life and business without nanny state supervision, free to fail or succeed and reap the bounty of either, while making your own decisions in pursuit of things meaningful to you as our founding father intended.
Join the revolution, ink up your fingers. . . and vote the Obama Oligarchy out of office.

Another American Revolution
Viva la revolution America ~ ink up your voting fingers and loose the power of your vote!
Without apology or explanation, politically I am firmly ensconced as a constitutional conservative. I am neither a republican, democrat, progressive, liberal, conservative, nor rabid in my belief system, although I must confess to a strong affinity with the Tea Party and its ideals. That does not imply that I am blind to the needs of others, nor would I think for a single moment that those who voted for Obama acted foolishly. However, it does sadden me that he’s left many of you somewhat disillusioned, having duped you with his pontificating political posturing and his incredible teleprompted speaking ability.
“Our rights are God given, our privileges are granted for a fee.” The economy functions best in a free market arena, not in a nanny governed collective. Government should only determine whether or not our constitutional and governing laws are being obeyed by everyone, including business entities. They should not be, nor were ever intended to run our public or privately owned businesses; their job is to observe and regulate the way laws are interpreted and enforced so that it is equitable. But that isn’t so anymore, ask Obama; for example, he believes that the constitution is a living document and should be interpreted in a flexible manner to meet ever changing needs as determined by a select group of politicians. He’s wrong.
Did you know that the stricter laws enacted by like thinking politicians using punitive judgments against the giants of industry have darn near sounded the death knell of small to medium businesses because those punitive actions were applied across the board to every business; high taxes, unreasonably high workman compensation costs and liability insurance rates along with bond costs have crippled many small to medium sized businesses.
There aren’t any tort limits or compensation for frivolous lawsuits or fraudulent workman comp claims against small businesses. It is nearly a national pass time to sue any and everybody that the public thinks is affluent by any standards. Small businesses often eat false claims simply because they can’t afford the legal costs to fight back.
Has Obama ever run a successful small or medium business plagued with those kinds of problems? No. But he has been part of the political system funded by tax payers, where he makes costly back room deals and plays poker with those same taxpayer funds; should their ideas flop, he walked away without sharing in the fruits of that failure.
Has Obama ever attended college without the benefit of grants or scholarships while supporting a family and running a small business? Has he ever had to worry about keeping a business alive so that he can provide a service, earn a profit to keep employees working or his business and personal bills paid? Has he ever had to give up possessions to keep his business dream afloat, has he ever put everything on the line for his family, business and employees only to lose? I doubt it, in one form or another he’s always taken sustenance from a public teat or trough.
Get the governmental nose out of private and public business, and stick to the jobs they were elected to perform.
Obama isn’t our messiah, neither are politicians; they are meant to be servants of , “We the People.”
My faith is not in government and politicians; my faith lay with average Americans that form the backbone of this country. It is my belief that they will speak out with their votes. No matter the outcome, where I distrust politics, politicians and lawyers with their hands in everyone else’s financial pockets; the average American will have their say to the peril of those that treat them with disdain. My fellow citizens, “. . . ink up your voting fingers and loose the power of your vote!”
Viva la voter revolution!

My Fellow Overtaxed Citizens
“offer the 31 million uninsured 1 to 5 million cash in lieu of Obama care-it’ll save us money”
Every time I listen to debates about the health care bill, the sad plight of 31 million faceless uninsured pop up to the surface and because I am a caring individual, I suggest offering the lot of them an either or choice; one to five million tax free dollars immediately and absolve the government of any future responsibility or wait for 4 years for the 6 years of Obama care to benefit them. I bet that they’ll opt for the cash.
Secondly, offer the 150 million plus illegal’s here in this country one to three million tax free dollars in cash to immediately leave the US or wait 4 years for the 6 years of Obama care to benefit them. For that kind of cash, I’ll bet they’ll take the money and repatriate to their homelands.
We would save money not policing them, educating, housing and nanny setting them with our welfare programs; plus it relieves the pressure with the gangs on the border, who will have a rich new market to chase after in their own playgrounds. And further, it provides their governments with an expanded upper class group of individuals to over tax and abuse. The chaos would keep them out of our hair long enough to finish the border fence and install mine fields along that same border at a depth sufficient to discourage tunneling under the border (that is a tongue in cheek solution – a future urban myth in need of initiating).
Combining the maximum payouts, it appears to me that it’d save US taxpayer a bucket load of cash while negating the need for huge tax increases, and here’s the kicker; it’d leave money for the government to use to start buying back its IOU’s to Social Security.
Why it won’t happen; common sense solutions don’t grow the size of government.
Your fellow citizen,
Larry “ . . . of the Alaskan conservative bunch”

Lesson From Michigan
Earlier this week, an email that had been forwarded until it finally reached my in-box in Alaska, merited posting; the message, well, it speaks for itself and follows.
Emergency Weather Bulletin
This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan after a severe snow storm …
The Mining Journal,Marquette, MI
WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern part of Michigan we just recovered from a Historic event — may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical Proportions” — with a historic blizzard of up to 44″ inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10′s of thousands.
FYI:
Obama did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV.
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor’s did not blame Obama or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Obama or anyone else either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit – or even report on this category 5 snow storm.
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody – I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything either.
No Larry King, No Bill O’Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Brad Pitts, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV’s to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn’t ask for a penny.
Local restaurants made food, and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families..
Families took in the stranded people – total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is “Work or Die”.
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for ‘sittin at home’ checks.
Even though a Category 5 blizzard of this scale is not usual, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe . . . some people will get the message, the world does NOT owe you a living.
This spoke to my heart and independent spirit, and addresses one of my first life lessons; the world doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe it everything. tlcorbin©all rights reserved 2010
