Some of the players have been relegated to the roles of “extras” and the chosen actors given stardom roles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is easy to see that if you accept the obvious, and please check it out if you will, it is easy to add up and discover just exactly what is going on and why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bank of England never liked our gold standard any better than they liked our Declaration of Independence or our Constitution as it imposed great difficulties in controlling our wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over time the foreign banks and other moneyed concerns slowly infiltrated our system and penetrated both parties to incrementally and insidiously seed our government officials with notions that have at last crippled our economy and our freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They now own the banks, the media, our entertainment industries, the printing companies that fill our schools with tripe and most of our elected officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, it makes little difference to these shysters whether or not a republican or a democrat sits in office as long as the elected candidate is a member of their club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So on goes the show; it is filled with wonderful entertainment as Newt and Mitt slug it out for the position to run against Barrack and we can place our bets as the repubs duke it our with the dems and sling mud from hell to breakfast and back again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main thing is that the obedient media works hard to keep your eye on the balls that they want you to watch and it is their duty to make sure that you see very little of what is reality or who may have the real answer to our woes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you may have surmised by now; if the international bankers and corporations have that much control over the media, Hollywood, the public schools, Congress and most departments of government, how could we possibly know what is going on and how can we overcome it? The American system of choosing a leader has been rendered useless and America is no longer a nation of free men unless Americans wake up and very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our last bloodless bid for retaining our freedom is about to vanish, with this election, and we are still watching “Dancing with the Stars” staring Mitt and Newt, or is that Mutt and Jeff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the past 70 or so years they have carefully laid the seine nets and they are now drawing the pursing strings closed. Are we fast enough to escape the net?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul is possibly the only candidate that has not been corrupted by the afore mentioned rascals better known as the “Washington Mafia”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8881774509868552051?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8881774509868552051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-american-system-of-selecting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8881774509868552051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8881774509868552051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-american-system-of-selecting.html' title='Why the American system of selecting a presidential candidate is useless'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8870722889093499461</id><published>2012-01-16T12:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T12:29:47.744-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It pays very well to own the media</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;It pays very well to own the media &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: Kirk MacKenzie [mailto:Kirk@SilentNoMorePublications.com] &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 6:52 PM &lt;br /&gt;To: Citizens Newswire &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Mitt Romney / Clear Channel / Bain Capital / Conservative Talk Radio Hosts &lt;br /&gt; This is the link to the original source. &lt;br /&gt; ------------------------------------------------------  &lt;br /&gt;Begin forwarded message: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: January 14, 2012 &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Fw: Good info on the leading candidate. &lt;br /&gt;Friday, January 13, 2012 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bain Capital Owns Clear Channel (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Etc.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Snyder, Contributing Writer, Activist Post &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wouldn't it be great if a Republican presidential candidate could just buy the support of just about every major conservative talk show host in America?  Well, it may not be as far-fetched as you may think. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clear Channel owns more radio stations (850) than anyone else in the United States.  They also own Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates the radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, among others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, Clear Channel basically owns conservative talk radio in the United States.  So who owns Clear Channel? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it turns out that Bain Capital is one of the primary owners of Clear Channel.  Yes, you read that correctly.  The company that Mitt Romney ran for so long is one of the "big bosses" over virtually all conservative talk radio in America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course Mitt Romney is not running Bain Capital anymore.  He is a "retired partner", but he still has a huge financial stake in Bain Capital.  We're talking about millions upon millions of dollars.  If you doubt this, just check out page 34 of this public financial disclosure report.  So if you have been wondering why so many conservative talk show hosts are being so incredibly kind to Mitt Romney, this just might be the answer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the media world, there is a clear understanding that you simply do not bite the hand that feeds you.  Some of the most prominent conservative talk radio hosts are earning tens of millions of dollars a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were making tens of millions of dollars a year, wouldn't you be very careful to avoid offending your boss? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deal in which Bain Capital became one of the owners of Clear Channel was initiated just a short time before Mitt Romney's first run for president.  The following comes from Wikipedia.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel announced plans to go private, being bought out by two private-equity firms, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital Partners for $18.7 billion, which is just under a 10 percent premium above its closing price of $35.36 a share on November 16 (the deal values Clear Channel at $37.60 per share). &lt;br /&gt;The deal was finalized in 2008.  Today, Bain Capital is still one of the primary owners of Clear Channel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the subsidiaries of Clear Channel is Premiere Radio Networks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Premiere Radio Networks distributes a whole host of conservative talk radio shows.  Everyone in the conservative world knows names such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.  Clear Channel also controls some other conservative talk radio hosts (such as Michael Savage and Mark Levin) that are not part of the Premiere Radio family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The power that Premiere Radio Networks has is absolutely staggering.  The following is directly from the official Clear Channel website.... &lt;br /&gt;Premiere Radio Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, syndicates 90 radio programs and services to more than 5,000 radio affiliations and reaches over 190 million listeners weekly.  Premiere Radio is the number one radio network in the country and features the following personalities:  Rush Limbaugh, Jim Rome, Casey Kasem, Ryan Seacrest, Glenn Beck, Bob (Kevoian) &amp; Tom (Griswold), Delilah, Steve Harvey, Blair Garner, George Noory, John Boy and Billy, Big Tigger, Dr. Dean Edell, Bob Costas, Sean Hannity and others. Premiere is based in Sherman Oaks, California, with 13 offices nationwide. &lt;br /&gt;So do you think that any of those hosts is going to risk viciously attacking Mitt Romney and Bain Capital during this election season? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not likely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the controversies that has plagued Premiere Radio Networks in recent years has been the uproar over their use of paid actors to call in to their radio shows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following comes from Wikipedia.... &lt;br /&gt;Clear Channel, through its subsidiary, Premiere Radio Networks, auditions and hires actors to call in to talk radio shows and pose as listeners in order to provide shows, carried by Clear Channel and other broadcasters, with planned content in the form of stories and opinions. The custom caller service provided by Premiere Radio ensures its clients they won't hear the same actor's voice for at least two months in order to appear authentic to listeners who might otherwise catch on. &lt;br /&gt;So perhaps that explains where some of the "Romney callers" come from. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing illegal about what Romney and Bain Capital have done, but it sure does not pass the "smell test". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservative talk radio has the potential to sway millions of conservative voters in one direction or another, and it is just not proper for Bain Capital and Romney to have such an overpowering financial interest in conservative talk radio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, yes, Mitt Romney is still bringing in lots of money from Bain Capital.  The following comes from a Wikipedia article about Mitt Romney.... &lt;br /&gt;At the time of his departure, Romney negotiated an agreement with Bain Capital that allowed him to receive a passive profit share as a retired partner in some Bain Capital entities, including buyout and investment funds.[62][57] With the private equity business continuing to thrive, this deal would bring him millions of dollars in income each year.[57] As a result of his business career, by 2007 Romney and his wife had a net worth of between $190 and $250 million, most of it held in blind trusts.[62] An additional blind trust existed in the name of the Romneys' children and grandchildren that was valued at between $70 and $100 million as of 2007.[63] The couple's net worth remained in the same range as of 2011, and was still held in blind trusts. &lt;br /&gt;In addition, Bain Capital and Bain &amp; Company continue to pour huge amounts of money into Romney's campaign coffers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just check out the following list of the biggest donors to the Romney campaign.  These numbers come from opensecrets.org.... &lt;br /&gt;Goldman Sachs $367,200Credit Suisse Group $203,750 &lt;br /&gt;Morgan Stanley $199,800HIG Capital $186,500 &lt;br /&gt;Barclays $157,750Kirkland &amp; Ellis $132,100 &lt;br /&gt;Bank of America $126,500PriceWaterhouseCoopers $118,250 &lt;br /&gt;EMC Corp $117,300JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co $112,250 &lt;br /&gt;The Villages $97,500Vivint Inc $80,750 &lt;br /&gt;Marriott International $79,837Sullivan &amp; Cromwell $79,250 &lt;br /&gt;Bain Capital $74,500UBS AG $73,750 &lt;br /&gt;Wells Fargo $61,500Blackstone Group $59,800 &lt;br /&gt;Citigroup Inc $57,050Bain &amp; Co $52,500 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with anything, whenever you want to get to the real truth you just need to follow the money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this week, Sean Hannity told Rick Perry that his attacks on Mitt Romney's time at Bain Capital sounded like something that "Occupy Wall Street" would say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just the other day, Rush Limbaugh compared Rick Perry to Fidel Castro and rabidly defended Mitt Romney on his radio program.... &lt;br /&gt;'There’s no way you can try to dress that up,' Limbaugh fumed. 'I don’t understand it. Well, politically I understand it, but that’s just absurd. It’s sad. “Cause I really, really, really like Rick Perry! I really do. I had such hopes! I did. I’ll tell you, I did, but all of this talk about “corporate raiders,” and as I listen to politicians start talking about capitalism, lights are going off in my head. Maybe they don’t really know what it is. Maybe they’re under some misconception about what capitalism is, because this characterization of it” A distinction with venture capitalism and vulture capitalism” This bite from Perry doesn’t compute.' &lt;br /&gt;So why are these conservative talk show hosts defending Mitt Romney so furiously? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think now we know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all about the money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have enough money, you can get conservative talk show hosts to promote an extremely liberal candidate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, of course Bain Capital does not "control" what these talk show hosts say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, of course some of the talk show hosts toss some light criticism at Romney from time to time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they simply do not go after Romney like they should. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that Mitt Romney is really a Democrat that is masquerading as a Republican.  When you closely examine his record, he is very similar to Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no way in the world that any self-respecting conservative should ever cast a single vote for him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But right now Mitt Romney is running away with the race for the Republican nomination. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Republicans can be fooled this badly, is there any hope for the future of the Republican Party?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;br /&gt; This message was sent by Scott Shock (ssshock@comcast.net) from King County Ron Paul 2012. &lt;br /&gt;To learn more about Scott Shock, visit his/her member profile &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meetup, PO Box 4668 #37895 New York, New York 10163-4668 |support@meetup.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps someday the big boys will offer me big bucks to paint a rosy light on the chosen candidate to be, on my blog, Naww. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lyle&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8870722889093499461?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8870722889093499461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/it-pays-very-well-to-own-media.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8870722889093499461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8870722889093499461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/it-pays-very-well-to-own-media.html' title='It pays very well to own the media'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8049645336916755597</id><published>2012-01-15T16:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T16:09:51.511-08:00</updated><title type='text'>U.S. Senate Bill # S.968 internet takeover bill Inbox</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;U.S. Senate Bill # S.968 internet takeover bill Inbox&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final U. S. Senate vote on the internet takeover bill is set for January 24th.  As of right now, that bill, which gives U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder the power of an "Internet Czar," WILL PASS.&lt;br /&gt;Please send faxes to every Member of the U.S. Senate, and demand that they filibuster S. 968, the Senate version of the internet takeover bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the American people are not paying attention to this catastrophe that is unfolding in the U. S. Senate.  We only have a few days to stop this unconstitutional power grab.  We must bombard the Senate with faxes, RIGHT NOW!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill will give corrupt U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder the power to blacklist or shut down any website or forum that is merely accused of being linked to "online piracy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will even have the authority to "sanitize" the results of internet searches on Google or Yahoo, so that only government-approved websites and information can be found online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this bill passes, Barack Hussein Obama will have to the ability to ban the campaign websites of his opponents, shut down the online activities of anti-Obama groups like USJF, and harass tea party forums and any other websites that don't support him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please fax the U. S. Senate now.  This bill WILL PASS unless the American people overwhelm the Senate with faxes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, while you are at it, please forward this email to everyone you know, The FINAL U. S. Senate vote is scheduled for January 24th.  We don't have much time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this bill passes, the Obama Administration won't need a court order.  There will be no hearings or trials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., will seize incredible control over the internet, and we will be nearly powerless to stop him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although supporters of the bill say that it is designed to prevent online piracy, this is an internet takeover bill, pure and simple. Just one "complaint" from a liberal activist, or a government agent, that you are indirectly violating an obscure copyright rule, and your&lt;br /&gt;website could be fined huge sums, and it could be blacklisted from the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine if Google was prohibited from displaying websites that were critical of Barack Obama, that discussed the controversy over where he was born, or that mentioned the damage that his policies are doing to the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that is exactly what will ultimately happen if S.968 passes, and it is signed into law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of this bill's provisions are modeled on Communist China's censorship law, called the "Great Firewall of China." Even the socialists in the European Parliament oppose this new American law. That is how extreme S.968 is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S.968 already has 40 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate.   Eleven more votes and it passes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please fax every U. S. Senator NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extreme liberals like Chuck Schumer and Al Franken have teamed up with Republicans like John McCain and Lindsey Graham to ram this bill into law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are being helped by millions of dollars in campaign contributions from left-wing mainstream media companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They want the government to shut down all the blogs and political forums, and all of the independent news sites, so that they, once again, will have a monopoly on the news that you and I are allowed to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This threat against free speech is so grave and so imminent that websites like Google and Yahoo are seriously considering staging a last-ditch online protest to try to stop Mr. Obama and his Congressional allies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, fax every Member of the U. S. Senate NOW, and please forward this email to all of your friends, urging them to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill WILL PASS unless you take action TODAY.

Governor Christie has stated that Obama is as good  a politician as they come and that we should not underestimate him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am afraid that America has already underestimated Obama and that America was dozing off when Obama told us exactly what his plans were. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is touted as an inept idiot that is way over his head and as someone that has failed to keep his campaign promises. The reality of it is, Obama has kept his promises and has been extremely successful in his endeavors. The problem is that most Americans heard what they wanted to hear and failed to heed his many promises to change America as we know it, and he has but unfortunately to our mortification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America needs to go back and listen again to all of what he has said that he plans to do and take him seriously and then take a look at what he has done already and to what he is still planning to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should anyone manage to remember all of his promises and check to see how many he has succeeded at, analyze what they really are or were intended for, take a good look at what he is trying to do at the present and what he has promised to do in the future, you would have to come to only one conclusion and that is Obama is very good at what he does and what he is doing is curtains for the USA, freedom and our way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t be fooled at the titles of the bills that he has rammed through Congress or the titles of the many “Executive Orders” that he has feloniously signed into law as all laws, no matter how insidious or self serving they may be, are painted with false colors and touted as necessary for the well being of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has been very busy and has a lot of help and it is virtually impossible to even try and list all of the horrendous atrocities that he has imposed so far. I have seen a partial list that was simply strung together with only comas separating them and it still took a full sheet of paper to list. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sums up only one way, Obama is in the very middle of pulling off the impossible, an American coup. When I can find time, I will try to highlight Obama’s obvious steps.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1933802720534074601?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1933802720534074601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/another-step-towards-accepting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1933802720534074601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1933802720534074601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/another-step-towards-accepting.html' title='Another step towards accepting a dictatorship.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-6284300255333250306</id><published>2012-01-12T12:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T12:09:59.542-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Fax business; a growing business concept.</title><content type='html'>The Fax business; a growing business concept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entrepreneurship is alive and well in America and the current political crisis is just too good of a thing to not capitalize on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days with all three legs of government, the White House, the justice department and Congress going haywire with corruption and the frenetic floury of atrocities committed by all three, it is a perfect opportunity for making a lot of cash by capitalizing on the citizens concerns for their liberty and safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a blogger and a concerned citizen who tries to write articles and letters of concern for the purpose of educating and wakening those that are not yet aware of the extreme dangers that are now befalling us and about to destroy our way of life and our freedoms, I can very well see that one needs to somehow get funded in order to succeed with these worthwhile efforts and also in order to feed his family while working for the good of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is hard to fathom is the sheer number of atrocities that are being committed by the government and those wanting to destroy American freedom and it is also hard to fathom how much money it would cost an individual to contribute $25.00 or more for each and every one of these atrocities at that rate. It would amount to a lot of money in short order and no one would be able to send in his or her personal fax for all of the misdeeds that they were concerned with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t mind a patriot receiving some monetary support for his or her efforts to support our welfare, but I do mind some of these opportunist attempts to get wealthy off of the crisis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never solicited for monetary support even though the time that I have spent has eroded my efforts to make a living as I believe it is tacky, but I have donated to what I have considered a worthwhile cause that needs funds in order to carry out their stated mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I simply think that it is tacky for someone that does basically the same thing as I do, to charge the same amount of fees as one would expect to donate to a real organization such as the Tea Party or to the Ron Paul Campaign for each and every fax they send out to a group of Congressmen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes it could be a worthwhile effort to fax these devious rascals, providing that we could do it with enough volume, but who can afford it at the going rate?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-6284300255333250306?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/6284300255333250306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/fax-business-growing-business-concept.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6284300255333250306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6284300255333250306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/fax-business-growing-business-concept.html' title='The Fax business; a growing business concept.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8964931233386280124</id><published>2012-01-06T16:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T16:49:54.035-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama has just broken the law again</title><content type='html'>Obama has just broken the law again in his long stream of thumbing his nose at American law and at Americans in general. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By appointing more members without Congressional approval, he has blatantly informed all Americans that he has declared himself as supreme ruler of the land and that the Constitution and Congress are of no significant matter to him or his newly seized dictatorship policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any and all members of Congress that are not actively seeking the impeachment and resignations of Barrack Obama and Erick Holder should be placed on notice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First everyone that is not actively seeking to remove these two frauds should be voted out of office and second each and everyone of these office holders should be indicted and tried for misrepresenting the nation and its people whether they are voted out of office or not. Treason is not to be taken lightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time that the nation’s laws are followed by those in power and time to quickly administer stern punishment to those that ignore it or blatantly flaunt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is becoming more and more embolden by the day and yet Congress ignores his transgressions as if nothing has happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that Obama has forced his new domestic anti terrorist program on us, he probably feels a bit more comfortable that the populace will not be able to swarm the White House and kick his butt back to Africa because he now has the military to protect him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer that the public allows these atrocities to go on, the harder it will be to stop it and regain our country back from the hands of those set on destroying America and the principles that it stands for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am encouraged however by the fact that Americans are buying guns and ammunition at an unusually high rate this past few years that Obama has been office. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can also hope that our military leaders are not inclined to support such a dictatorship and will refuse to turn arms upon the very citizens that it is set up to protect, once the citizens determine that taking up arms is the last resort. And let us also hope that taking up arms is not the last resort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So get out there and vote for your freedom this time, not some damn Rino that tells you he has the best answer to create jobs, it will be your very last time to try and save your freedom.

This reminds me a great deal of Pavlov’s conditioning but actually it is a bit more sophisticated than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years we have become so conditioned to listening to misleading rhetoric and outright lies from our candidates and leaders that we actually process the tripe as being the reality even though we know that it is common knowledge that candidates for office are expected to lie and are even forgiven for breaking their sworn campaign promises. Again it is the conditioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Hollywood is infected with the virus along with our public school systems and has been infiltrated with programming with the intension of deceiving us into thinking that our capitalistic and free society is the root of the very problems that are actually created by the very same folks that are trying to deceive us. Being naïve is not so bliss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is probably the saddest and strangest part is the fact that we all should know better because what is happening at this very moment is right out of a pages of history and we are mostly too ignorant or preoccupied to see or acknowledge it as it happens. Heil Hitler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What far too many folks do not realize is the fact that the media is owned, totally, lock, stock and barrel by the same diabolical scoundrels that own the same FED that has taken us to the cleaners over the years ever since we allowed them to take charge of our money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Americans now are aware that our country is badly broken and things are not going well, but many of these folks are still tuned into the “MSMedia” and are not seeing the true side of reality and therefore are blaming the wrong people and circumstances for the demise of both our freedoms and our economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our freedom and our economy was purposefully eroded over a period of time by the same nefarious scoundrels that own our media and now control by means of infiltration both our schools systems and Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may have taken a period of time for us to get to this sad state of affairs but we do not have the same luxury of time to avoid the complete demise of our freedoms, what damn little that there is left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may be a saving grace or silver lining and perhaps the solution is simpler than one would think and would only require that good folks take up the effort and fight to educate those that are lost in the propaganda and rhetoric of the establishment and support the very few office holders with integrity out of the many corrupt members of Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MSMedia has made good and sure over the years that folks like Ron Paul would only get coverage if they could show it in a bad light and that he would not get coverage of any of his many attempts to curtail the size of government, out of control spending and the steady demise of our freedoms. His words have been criminally twisted at every turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps when we finally understand that the allure of money is more intoxicating than the glory of doing what is right and that we need to change how Congress works and remove lobbyists and the greed for money, we can get back to sanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can be very difficult to understand why the richest people on earth would go to such great lengths to gain full control over a nation’s monetary system, purchase the controlling interest of the main stream media, install their own managing editors, get control of the majority of the members of Congress and then set about and manipulate the financial demise of the very same system that they own and control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the answer is more breath taking than fiction and intrinsically demonic. The poor are still poor and the middle class are disappearing and that makes you wonder where all of the wealth has gone. Even when the dollar has run its course and has the same non value as the African Zimbabwe's counterpart, the “bansters” will have converted their American dollars into something a lot more stable like gold or Swiss franks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another good lesson to ponder is how George Soros made his last killing a billion English pounds when he broke the bank of England and how he is positioning himself in America. Will he do it again, perhaps this time he will make a trillion bucks for his efforts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps what we should all be asking ourselves is how did we go from a patriotic nation of self sufficient hardy people whose battle cry was “Give me liberty or give me death” to a nation of whiney government dependent people whose cry is “Gimie, gimie, gimie, please tax the rich and give it to me”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never have the words “The truth will set you free” been more appropriate than it would be now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is beyond me that folks are still tuning in to the evening news and not setting fires to the so called new agencies around the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is completely beyond me that folks are not angry and rioting in the streets and demanding the heads of public office holders and the resignations of public employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps someday the people will gain their senses and the truth shall shine through all of the smoke and media mirrors and the people will again appreciate freedom. Let us hope that it is not too late.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1172194703230787322?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1172194703230787322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/truth-in-politics-or-not.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1172194703230787322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1172194703230787322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/truth-in-politics-or-not.html' title='Truth in Politics or Not'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4995491843957026434</id><published>2012-01-01T16:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T16:50:04.275-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's our Freedom Stupid</title><content type='html'>The New Year will bring some surprises, hopefully we will see more good ones than bad ones, but be prepared for the worst and pray and work for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time it is difficult to tell if we will wind up with the same freedom hating Muslim in the White House, a Rino that will do the biding of the same puppet as the Muslim in chief or if we will actually get a real Constitutionally oriented and sane president who will at least try to stop our march into the abyss.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very best that we could hope for would be a stalemate if Obama should somehow steal his way back into the White House for a second term. However expect him to increase the use of his executive privileges to overcome or bypass Congress whenever he can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This country has already gone well past the point of no return thanks to Congress and its passing of Obama care unless it is repealed and fast before it becomes active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that in itself is not nearly enough, we also need to also repeal a host of other insane laws that are equally as bad such as the so called "Patriot Act" along with a myriad of other freedom robbing laws passed in the name of protecting us from a phantom evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we mostly also need a new and constitutionally driven president to start the reversal of socialism and to repeal the many rules, regulations and laws that are killing our economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one thing that will regain our economic status and that is the very same thing that gave us that status in the first place, freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring back our freedom and the economy will come roaring back to life again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes it is as simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the new buzz words be "It's our Freedom Stupid".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4995491843957026434?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4995491843957026434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-our-freedom-stupid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4995491843957026434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4995491843957026434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-our-freedom-stupid.html' title='It&apos;s our Freedom Stupid'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-954962591498425371</id><published>2011-12-26T14:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T14:56:35.379-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Energy Insanity</title><content type='html'>The Energy Insanity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The insanity of government doesn’t stop just at how we are blowing the way we treat the energy crisis of America, however energy is at the root of most of government’s stupidity and corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand it would seem that big government is pitted against the behemoth oil companies and the news is rife with how big oil versus environmentalists and how big oil is killing the planet. We also got a distorted view of how Obama stopped deep water drilling yet we are still being told that the world is running out of oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reality of it all is far different than what the media portrays. The world is actually awash in oil and more is being discovered with regularity as newer technology progresses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;North Dakota and Montana is becoming the next boom and Canada is trying to get a pipeline to Texas where the refineries are anxiously waiting for more crude to turn into gasoline and diesel. Yet the media remains dutifully mute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is also host to many decades or maybe millenniums worth of natural gas waiting to be developed into fuel for trucks and to run badly needed generation plants. No media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this energy sitting there while we pay high prices at the pump for fuel and our economy is tanking. Yet the oil companies are netting billions of tax free dollars in increased revenue while the public is paying higher taxes to float even more exploration for the oil companies. Do the refineries really pay $100.00 a barrel for crude when it is so abundantly available?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is for sure, our government might have their clutches on every aspect of the people lives now with the ever growing tech/privacy invasion and the insane amount of laws, rules and regulations, but they do not have any control over the big oil corporations or any other corporations for that matter including the “banksters”. In deed it is just the reverse, the corporations have pretty much written all of the laws and are pretty much in charge of everything in America, including the government, big as it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama would have us believe that he is all for going green in order to save us from the carbon caused, climate warming or maybe now it is global cooling that has been feloniously portrayed as the world’s most wicked problem, created by all of those belching cows, etc. etc. needing heavy taxation in order to gain environmental control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if Obama is so bent on going green, why then does the government block so many avenues for the entrepreneurs and engineers to get us there? Is it that he only promotes those green ideas that have more to do with cronyism and kickbacks than for any that might actually work?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One such system is the hydrogen tank that will safely store 400 miles worth of fuel that can be filled with your backyard solar hydrogen generator? &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX2RxlXCZKA&amp;feature=player_embedded#!"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX2RxlXCZKA&amp;feature=player_embedded#!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This system uses lithium-6 deuteride, to store the hydrogen in your tank and is the hydride material used in thermonuclear weapons that was devised as a means to store hydrogen more efficiently and safely, the law forbids purchasing it, at any cost although the law does not forbid making it &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However the FDA, the food and drug administration levies massive fees for usage of a particle accelerator, the device needed to produce lithium-6 deuteride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact remains, government regulations based in ignorance and cronyism have crippled many scientific solutions to our current energy disaster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also a fact that the government has allowed the corporations to create a myriad of self serving laws that have crippled America’s ability to produce jobs or in fact to even survive unless you are a mega corporation that can grease the halls of Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So once you take the time and try to analyze the problems that America is having and why we are struggling with finding jobs and why we are all losing freedom at an alarming rate, you come to the realization that America has come as far as it can go in the direction that we are heading without losing it all and becoming exactly what we have fought so hard to not become, just another country lead by another despot, tyrannical czar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America really has but only one problem and one problem only. America is under the thumbs of the worlds most despicable manipulators whose only role in the world is to play their power games until they have pillaged and destroyed every country and free thought in the universe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These players own the world’s banks, own the FED, own the media, own our Congress and now they want to own America, lock stock and barrel including your freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution is very simple but is going to be tough to implement unless we find a way to ignite a firestorm of interest in saving our freedoms and fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All we have to do is to elect the right people to both Congress and the White House and start the road back to freedom and the economy will come roaring back to life again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So again I say; it’s all about the Freedom Stupid. Take care of that and everything else will take care of itself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-954962591498425371?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/954962591498425371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/energy-insanity.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/954962591498425371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/954962591498425371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/energy-insanity.html' title='The Energy Insanity'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-7412488689303431343</id><published>2011-12-26T12:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T12:05:10.069-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Establishment is Real, Active, and Suicidal</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Yes, Virginia, There is a Republican Establishment (And it’s Suicidal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Unfortunately, the establishment is real, active, and suicidal, willing to throw the next presidential election in order to maintain control of “its” party."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the full article; &lt;a href="http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/yes-virginia-there-is-a-republican-establishment-and-its-suicidal/"&gt;http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/yes-virginia-there-is-a-republican-establishment-and-its-suicidal/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be more correct to say that they are will willing to throw the next election in order to maintain control of the Washington Mafia that has control over both political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the biggest reasons that the Republicans have such a hard time in fending off attacks by the Democrats is because their bath water is just as dirty as the democrats and how can you call the cops in when you are just as complicit as the perpetrator. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul and Michele Backmann would be the main top contenders today if the media were not owned lock, stock and barrel by the same pack of rascals that own the FED and control the Washington insiders better known as the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is sad that many folks actually still listen to the propaganda spewed by the media and actually believe that Ron Paul or Michele Backmann have no chance of winning.

Obama is more likely to be a pawn dancing to their tune rather than some goof ball Marxist politician gumming up the works and making it difficult for the mega giants to profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact the behemoth oil companies are doing quite well in spite of America’s plight or the destruction of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the surface it would appear that Obama has sunk the oil companies’ profits by removing them from the Gulf of Mexico that has made much news headlines for some time. What is not mentioned very much by the media is the activity going on in North Dakota and Montana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing is that America has exported three times the refined gasoline this year than last year but the American gas prices at the pump still reflect Opec pricing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one stops to try and rationalize what has really happened over the years, you have to come to the realization that the combined efforts of the banking corporations to control the news media and all of the corporations involvements in writing or influencing their own laws are self serving. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also the sad and nefarious habits of Congress of combining or cramming separate and different issues into one bill in order to pass something that would not stand up to the light of day is nothing short of criminal but is considered as standard practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people are being hoodwinked everyday on all issues to the point that nothing that is said or written in the news is remotely true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have come to accept the high price of medicine as natural and inevitable and yet it is the direct result of years of government meddling or involvement. Not too many years ago, doctors actually accepted farm products or other forms of bargaining as payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When medicine became unionized under the guise of protecting the public by the AMA which was actually created to raise prices of doctoring, the people could no longer afford to pay their doctor for services and the next solution was to create insurance to cover for the event of a catastrophic health issue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have really gotten out of hand and the people now can’t afford to pay their insurance premiums either and worse even yet, the government after all of its meddling now wants to take over health care totally and that is totally insane. If you think doctoring is costly now, wait until the government has total control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the only real way to fix America is to totally eradicate all of the unconstitutional laws and all of the laws driven by the corporations for their own greedy concerns.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4128693896815816400?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4128693896815816400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/points-of-interest-on-american-oil-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4128693896815816400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4128693896815816400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/points-of-interest-on-american-oil-and.html' title='Points of interest on American oil and other corporate issues.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4360437887863584579</id><published>2011-12-11T13:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-11T17:01:03.468-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Worse than our worst fears</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Worse than our worst fears&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us have had conversations about how devious different government departments have become and yet some we deem as appropriate for the tasks involved such as underworld dealings of cloak and dagger work to keep America safe from the bad guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today however it is becoming increasingly difficult to sort out the bad guys from the good guys and our worst fears are starting to be proven out with the “Gun Runner” scandal that we now have generally accepted as an attempt, by certain political factions, to paint gun sales to the general public, as a danger and risk to our nation’s welfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the investigation underway by Congressman Issa and other Congressmen other significant and nefarious improprieties have surfaced involving money laundering and arms and drugs sales by department members under the guise of protecting the citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can see why the government heads would think that we would simply believe that this is all on the up and up because of all of the spy novels and action movies depicting the heroes dealing with sleazy characters, but it is beginning to look much more like simply a good cover to do political mischief and line the pockets of the well connected than it is to protect us poor citizens from the world of criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any one trying to keep up with today’s politics and/or current events are well aware that the world is changing fast and not for the better, not by a long shot. The current Obama administration is clueless, inept and oblivious to its surroundings, or it is the worst orchestrated and sinister nightmare that this country has ever experienced. In either case, it needs to be dealt with swiftly and with grave concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day brings more bad news that certain factions of government/politicians are deviously working away to force new freedom robbing sinister rules, regulation or laws upon the citizens that will curtail a myriad of things such as gun ownership, curtailing job creation, curtailing our ability to grow our own food or to store any provisions for emergency preparations and on and on. The list is seemingly endless and unbelievable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we observe these atrocities on a daily basis, these same sinister forces are also at work stacking the deck in order to make sure that business goes on in Washington as usual and these sinister usurpers are using every rotten trick in the book and more. From Acorn and other criminal factions perpetrating voter fraud, to the “Bankster” owned media telling the voters who to vote for in the primaries in order to ensure that it will make little or no difference in who might win the election. Gangsters or “Banksters” don’t go away easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Our nation is perilously close to collapsing and our freedoms that we all take for granted are nearly gone and if we don’t act both fast and fearlessly, we will be too late and we will all become nothing more than slaves. However that is least of our worries because the usurpers will have to deal with all of the nations perceived militants or those that would have liked to retain their freedom. Hello FEMA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know if there is a direct correlation between the International Bankers (Banksters) and the White House, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they have massive control over politicians including the White House. Whether or not Obama is a part of the club that I refer to as the “Washington Mafia” or simply a pawn makes for little difference, the net result will be the same if we don’t stop him and his agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But simply stopping Obama is not going to change things or save our country from the looming nefarious and certain demise unless we are smart enough to refrain from electing yet another pilfering faction that will continue the nation’s deadly spiral into the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us know that in order to stop our nation’s destruction, we need to clean house and rid ourselves of the criminals who have taken over our political offices. We need to elect some very brave and decent folks with integrity and honor that will stay the course until our nation is once again running within the Constitution as planned from the beginning by our well educated and esteemed forefathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is of the essence and the primaries are upon us and if we, as a nation, choose to confront this assault on our liberty and our sovereignty in a peaceful manner, we will have to find a way to stop the “Bankster Media” from deluding our voters and start giving the right people the chance to run for office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is sad that the general public still knows very little about folks like Ron Paul, Michele Backmann and other possibly worthy candidates but have been systematically beaten over the head with the ranting of the politico Rinos that the Washington Mafia has offered up for us to choose from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also sad that the real issues of the day are not out in the public’s spotlight for everyone to see and instead we are deluged daily by issues that are of little insignificance in comparison to the dark and sinister matters at work chipping away at our nation’s structure and freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is really only one man (serious candidate) thus far that is brave enough to skirt or hint at these issues and yet he knows well enough that to publicly speak about the real dark and sinister issues would be political suicide as the media would ridicule him out of the race. It is also noteworthy to mention that he is the one and only candidate that consistently supports and works within the confines of the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the media were to ever do its job (not likely at all), Ron Paul would be the nations top runner for the presidential election with so much support that Obama would run and hide in the hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “Washington Mafia” and the “Bankster Media” have worked diligently and tirelessly to paint Ron Paul as some kind of banner waving nut who would build a fence and retreat from the world and let the world build bombs to throw at us and it has worked to sadly a great extent but we need to see past this propaganda and start seeing the sinister reality of the dire situation that we are in. It is going to take a real patriot to save our bacon, not some slick Rino with a glib tongue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/10130-congress-probes-dea-drug-money-laundering-scheme"&gt;http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/10130-congress-probes-dea-drug-money-laundering-scheme&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4360437887863584579?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4360437887863584579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/worse-than-our-worst-fears.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4360437887863584579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4360437887863584579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/worse-than-our-worst-fears.html' title='Worse than our worst fears'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-6060064763205668042</id><published>2011-12-10T13:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-10T13:21:02.067-08:00</updated><title type='text'>No Western Government Has Ever Claimed The Power To Do This, Not even Hitler.</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;No Western Government Has Ever Claimed The Power To Do This, Not even Hitler. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5V4oqr5iP-g?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5V4oqr5iP-g?version=3&amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-6060064763205668042?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/6060064763205668042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-western-government-has-ever-claimed.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6060064763205668042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6060064763205668042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-western-government-has-ever-claimed.html' title='No Western Government Has Ever Claimed The Power To Do This, Not even Hitler.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8829295039248173246</id><published>2011-11-25T12:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T12:57:39.894-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Newt's red flags</title><content type='html'>Tuesday night’s national security debate in Washington by CNN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt Gingrich may have swept the polls but ran up several red flags during the debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the course of the evening Newt said that instead of reining in the Homeland Security he would actually increase their authority. Now Newt may be just concerned about the nations safety but that scares hell out of me and tells me that Newt is not so inclined to downsize the government as he suggests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt also endorsed or rather used the words (Private/Government Partnership), which was also uttered previously by Barrack Obama during one of his speeches. This term rings the same warning tone as (Crony Capitalism) and is one of the primary reasons that America is in the pickle that it is in today. Congress in bed with corporations and their lobbyists equal corruption to the highest degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one more issue that Newt brought up that I did not like but I have not been able to recall it yet and apparently no one else noticed it at all as I have not read anything yet that triggers my memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one great unanswered answer that not one of the candidates could have given to the question of how we could improve the economy and reduce the debt should have been; “Cut taxes and eliminate the myriad of bad laws and obnoxious government departments that are killing our businesses such as the IRS, EPA, Dept. of Education and many others”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This would have multiple and simultaneous positive effects to the nation as it would increase our freedoms, increase revenue while reducing government expenditures, it would reduce our need for revenue, inspire more entrepreneurs to create business, reassure businesses that the government would no longer penalize success, reduce unemployment and the need for welfare and entitlements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of entitlements, Social Security in not one of them, as many would have you believe, Social Security was thrust upon the public and part of the deal or contract to clinch it, or sell it, was that it was a contract with the working class to provide an insurance/retirement program for those that worked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The money paid into the program was to be kept separate from the general fund and given back to the people when they needed it later. The problem lies in two separate issues; one the government could not keep their grubby hands off of the cash and two if they had, the criminally engineered inflation by the Federal Reserve, to steal our wealth, would have wiped it out anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt might have been the CNN pick but to me the winners were again Ron Paul and Michele Backmann with Cain struggling to keep his ground. I also have a renewed interest in both Rick Santorum and John Huntsman as they are sounding a little bit like constitutionalists. And of course we have the two Rhinos Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8829295039248173246?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8829295039248173246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/newts-red-flags.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8829295039248173246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8829295039248173246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/newts-red-flags.html' title='Newt&apos;s red flags'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4955755036642767048</id><published>2011-11-24T10:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T10:31:23.797-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What if the Constitution No Longer Applied?</title><content type='html'>What if the Constitution No Longer Applied?&lt;br /&gt;By Judge Andrew Napolitano&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the whole purpose of the Constitution was to limit the government? What if Congress' enumerated powers in the Constitution no longer limited Congress, but were actually used as justification to extend Congress' authority over every realm of human life? What if the president, meant to be an equal to Congress, has become a democratically elected, term-limited monarch? What if the president assumed everything he did was legal, just because he's the president? What if he could interrupt your regularly scheduled radio and TV programming for a special message from him? What if he could declare war on his own? What if he could read your emails and texts without a search warrant? What if he could kill you without warning?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the rights and principles guaranteed in the Constitution have been so distorted in the past 200 years as to be unrecognizable by the Founders? What if the states were mere provinces of a totally nationalized and fully centralized government? What if the Constitution was amended stealthily, not by constitutional amendments duly passed by the states, but by the constant and persistent expansion of the federal government's role in our lives? What if the federal government decided whether its own powers were proper and constitutional?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if you needed a license from the government to speak, to assemble or to protest the government? What if the right to keep and bear arms only applied to the government? What if posse comitatus -- the law that prohibits our military from our streets -- were no longer in effect? What if the government considered the military an adequate dispenser of domestic law enforcement? What if cops looked and acted like troops and you couldn't distinguish the military from the police? What if federal agents could write their own search warrants in defiance of the Constitution? What if the government could decide when you weren't entitled to a jury trial?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the government could take your property whenever it wanted it? What if the government could continue prosecuting you until it got the verdict it wanted? What if the government could force you to testify against yourself simply by labeling you a domestic terrorist? What if the government could torture you until you said what the government wanted to hear? What if people running for president actually supported torture? What if the government tortured your children to get to you? What if the government could send you to your death and your innocence meant nothing so long as the government's procedures were followed? What if America's prison population, the largest in the world, was the result of a cruel and unusual way for a country to be free? What if half the prison population never harmed anyone but themselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the people had no rights except those the government chose to let them have? What if the states had no rights except to do as the federal government commanded? What if our elected officials didn't really live among us, but all instead had their hearts and their homes in Washington, D.C.? What if the government could strip you of your rights because of where your mother was when you were born? What if the income tax was unconstitutional? What if the states were convinced to give up their representation in Congress? What if the government tried to ban you from using a substance older than the government itself? What if voting didn't mean anything anymore because both political parties stand for Big Government?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the government could write any law, regulate any behavior and tax any event, the Constitution be damned? What if the government was the reason we don't have a Constitution anymore? What if you could love your country but hate what the government has done to it?

Acorn is a very well funded and well organized group of people hell bent on supporting Obama and his agendas including that of voter fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He who owns the gold has ensured the economic demise of America and the rest of the word’s nations as well. Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac and a host of other skewed programs are a good example of how sinister concerns can bring a country down in short order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He who owns the gold has made it crystal clear that they intend to make a one world banking system and a one world government. We have already been informed that the demise of the dollar has gone too far and we may have to resort to allowing the monetary system to be taken over by the One World Bank in order to survive. In order to survive what, more of the same old pillaging but on a grander scale?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He who owns the gold are foreign international bankers who own the Federal Reserve and most of the other worlds central banking systems. How on earth did we ever buy into this one, our government prints the cash and then we borrow it back from the privately and foreign owned Federal Reserve?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He who owns the gold could care less about your freedom, because when you own the gold you have all of the freedom that you need or could possibly ever want in spite of any nation’s laws. They are above any nation’s laws and are most assuredly responsible for most, if in fact, not all of America’s assassinated presidents, assassinated presidential candidates and attempted assassination of our leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the inception of our great country these power hungry dirt bags have been working to undermine our freedoms and taking over our economy for their own greed and are exactly why we are now under the thumb of the Federal Reserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have run the Federal Reserve game and our countries economy into the ground and for them to continue on pillaging the world; they need to take the game to a new level and finish the creation of the New World Order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The international bankers are not the only enemies hard at work to destroy us but foreign bankers do work hand in hand with those that would like to see the US turn into a communist regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part of their game plan is Agenda 21 or “Sustainable Development” and the disarmament of the United States by various nefarious and un-constitutional moves by both our government and the so called “UN small arms treaty” that Hillary Clinton is so busy working on. The newest installment of this game plan is Obama’s last sponsored illegal action to stop American citizens from carrying firearms on all federal and all public lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you really want a good scare just take a good look at the Agenda 21 plan and the map that highlights all areas that the New World Government would restrict any trespass and where they intend for the surviving population (slaves) to reside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These smart bastards have been insidiously working for decades stripping away America’s wealth while undermining our freedoms and we have watched as our so called elected servants allowed them to do it while lining their own pockets as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can bet your bottom dollar, providing that you still have one, that these crooks will go to any length to stop the demise of our country and will try to assassinate any candidate, should they somehow manage to make it through the media gauntlet that has been set up to thwart any candidate from running unless they are a part of the Game plan, i.e. “The Washington Mafia” or better known as the international bankers or the wizard behind the curtain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should we be so foolish to listen to the (bought and paid for media) and believe that Ron Paul or some other non “Washington Mafia’ candidate can’t win, we will in fact fall right into the hands and the propaganda of our enemies and we will sink for certain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media has done a dynamite job of smearing all candidates and making them look weak or foolish that would other wise buck the establishment, and they should be good giving the amount of money that George Soros and other foreign moguls have poured into the effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul deserves a far better chance of demonstrating his convictions and his abilities to turn this nation around than the idiotic and out of context dribble that the media has wickedly portrayed him as. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you actually get a chance to observe Ron Paul in the genuine light of day, he comes of far different and far more coherent and as a true patriot than what media has worked so hard to make him look like. The fact is the enemy is terrified of Ron Paul and the fact that Ron could reignite patriotism and the desire for freedom again and stop the carefully orchestrated efforts to destroy our country and freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No other candidate can say that they have always worked within the principles of the constitution and stood behind it like Paul has. Congressman Ron Paul has for all of his years in office fought to protect and uphold the constitution and has always abided by it as well. All of the elected officials swear on the bible to do so but only Ron Paul has.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the country so close to crumbling under the feet of Obama and his communist cronies all the while being backed by the international banksters, we can not afford to elect someone simply on the grounds that the bought off media tells us that he has the best chance of beating Obama. We would be just as well off to reelect Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we should be duped into electing the wrong candidate and later discover that they are just another typical and corrupt politician,(Rhino) it will be too late to save America except for taking up arms in revolt and taking the country back by force. If that happens who knows what might surface as our leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a good example of how they stacked the deck against Ron Paul check out the video &lt;a href="http://patriotupdate.com/videos/ron-paul-reality-check"&gt;http://patriotupdate.com/videos/ron-paul-reality-check&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it seems that we are at the tipping point. If we continue further, we will tip over and we will become just another chapter in American history past period. So it would seem highly imperative to do something now, immediately to start informing those that are still not aware that the end is not only near but in fact is here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primary season is upon us and folks are still nodding off when ever they hear about who the front runners are and how they may have, although not a shred of evidence in sight, made a pass at some woman who was trying to woo a job out of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are like I am, concerned for your safety and freedom, please pass this info on to everyone you know and any other information that you may find helpful to the cause and do it quickly as time is now of the essence and is wasting away fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not believe that there is any thing to be concerned about, go back to the NFL.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

work to reestablish America's freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those that run this country, the banksters or rather the Washington Mafia, do not care if Obama is still in office or if it is one of their GOP puppets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we make the sad mistake of electing a rhino, the country will slide slowly into a totalitarian regime and the constitution will be replaced with a different one, if Obama should somehow get reelected, it will slide much faster to the same demise but may waken the citizens out of their stupor and ignite a revolution of sorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International bankers have no love for American freedom and have worked for its demise since its inception and with them controlling our money supply you can see now why we are in the pickle that we are in and you can also see why the media, owned lock stock and barrel, by the same banksters are working hard to discredit any politician that may work to regain America's freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What needs to be done is for the citizen to discredit the media and elect a candidate that will restore our freedom.

No it was the fact that he was traveling across the entire width of the country in Air Force One but that was not the half of what got my notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What really shook me was the fact that the game was being played on an aircraft carrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nero would have been so proud and would have proclaimed Obama his equal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in honor of the great Chief, I propose to take up a collection from my fellow countrymen in order that we can procure a fine violin of exquisite tone, perhaps a Stradivarius would be appropriate for the chief, and have it engraved, “In honor of the Great Barrack Hussein Obama, America’s First Emperor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that this would be most appropriate because once America discovers that it is on fire, the lights will go out at some point, all communications will cease and all that Obama will be able to see from the balcony of the White House will be the orange and red flames on the horizon of America burning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point Obama will definitely be in need of his fiddle so as to carry on the final time honored traditions of Nero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please open up your pocket books and get your contributions in soon because I can smell the smoke already. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will also note that on November 11, 2011, history will, hopefully one day, note that what went completely unreported and ignored by all of the media, was the most significant events of American history since the liberty bell rang until it cracked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What went completely unnoticed and ignored by the media was &lt;a href="http://www.veterandefenders.org/DECLARATION-RESTORE-THE-CONSTITUTIONAL-REPUBLIC.pdf"&gt;The Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic&lt;/a&gt; by the veterans at the Washington Monument in DC and the &lt;a href="http://conservativebyte.com/2011/11/banner-over-san-diego-calls-for-impeachment/"&gt;Flying Banner to Impeach Obama&lt;/a&gt; in San Diego, CA during Obama’s visit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2466800215859300319?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2466800215859300319/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/americas-first-emperor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2466800215859300319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2466800215859300319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/americas-first-emperor.html' title='America’s First Emperor'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-6355201912045936873</id><published>2011-11-10T11:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T11:31:55.675-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The hypocrisy of Sexual Harassment</title><content type='html'>Last night the question of sexual harassment was met with a resounding booing from the presidential debate audience making it clear that America was far more interested in solving America’s problems than speculating on yet another apparently made up sensational sexual scandal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether or not the sexual allegations emanated from the left or from the right, you can bet that it was approved or maybe even sponsored by the Washington Mafia. One thing is for sure; America is getting suspicious of such allegations and rightfully so as it takes the spotlight from the real issues that need to be dealt with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2011/11/09/david_axelrods_pattern_of_sexual_misbehavior/page/full/"&gt;http://townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2011/11/09/david_axelrods_pattern_of_sexual_misbehavior/page/full/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is kind of sad that America is saddled with mountains of ridiculous laws, rules, regulations and red tape to the level that it has killed the American dream, killed American freedom and killed the American economy but there is no apparent law against smearing good men with sensational material either made up or exaggerated for political gains. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently t here is no law against government corruption as well, leastways not when you can appoint your own chief lawman to run interference for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also find it somewhat amusing that Americans allow and even expect politicians to become corrupt and steal America blind but at the same time demand that they remain nearly as celibate as a roman priest, and we know how hard it is for even a priest sometimes to remain faithful to their chosen path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we are witnessing hypocrisy at its max.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-6355201912045936873?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/6355201912045936873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/hypocrisy-of-sexual-harassment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6355201912045936873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6355201912045936873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/hypocrisy-of-sexual-harassment.html' title='The hypocrisy of Sexual Harassment'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-2529076199242405686</id><published>2011-11-05T18:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-05T18:03:02.507-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Liberalism used to be a good term before the enemy hijacked it.</title><content type='html'>Liberalism used to be a good term before the enemy hijacked it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have two separate groups that basically believe in the same thing but yet at the same time are deeply and bitterly divided over the same very same issues to the point of destroying the one thing that both sides cherish. Their freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To illustrate my point and perhaps shed some light on the problem; I can still remember my youth and the hypocrisy of the far right extremist that drove the 60s movement of the masses to throw off the shackles of the fanatical religious crowd that kept America and most of the world stumbling around in the dark ages well into the 20th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growing up in a staunch and over bearing religious environment left a bad taste in my mouth at a very early age and gave me more than just pause to wonder about the dogmatic practice in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However being a tolerant American, as most Americans are, I fully accepted everyone’s right to pray or not to pray as they wished and in the manner that they wished, just as long as they left me alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way that I see the conservative right is the belief that folks want to be free, want to be self sufficient or self reliant and want government to stay out of their hair. I like this part of conservatism and it made America what it was until lately, however a faction of this group also wants everyone to be a Christian and wants to have their dogmatism taught in the public schools and inserted into law. In fact many of our overbearing laws were written by these fanatics over the years and led to the liberal revolt and justly so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also thought myself as a liberal way before I ever heard the term and was also an environmentalist way before the Sierra Club was ever formed as well. However I soon became repulsed at the fanatical environmental movement as the progressives took over and for as much as I know, they may have started it to destroy America’s economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I subscribed to the notion that the church had its nose way too far into the lives and bedrooms of the American citizens and I considered the church as far more of a problem than the fanatic solutions that they perpetrated on the “mores and values of human sexuality” and other stated sinful past times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we are, one faction believes in freedom and self reliance but insists that everyone should believe in god and the other faction believes in freedom but wants the fanatical religious nuts to go about their dogmatic practices quietly and leave them alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere in this conflict however, the enemy has spotted our division and our weaknesses and has infiltrated the ranks to cheer on the fight to keep us divided in order that they can quietly steel our freedoms and wealth away. They have also convinced many of the liberals that the government, or better yet the successful rich, owes them a living somehow and that working for a living is somehow wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth of the matter is that while the left and the right was pointing fingers at each other and fighting over the somewhat trivial issues of morality, the people in general dropped the ball and allowed the government to be wined and dined by the corporations to the point that the government is nearly totally corrupted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the government could not just simply allow the corporations to be too blatant because it would have been way too obvious, so to make things look better they passed laws to prevent the very things that they permitted, in the first place, but with loop holes of course to keep the lobbyist and campaign money flowing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a period of time, this merry-go-round stacks up a mountain of red tape to the degree that even the corporations that were originally complicit, can no longer compete in a free world and this is where we are at today, over regulated to our economic demise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this nation is going to survive, the people, both the left and the right, will have to come to grips with these differences and come to the realization that the most important thing that we have is our freedom and without it, nothing else will matter. Divided we surely will both perish and the scourges of the earth will come into control and life as we know it will be over for good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the answer is to first reclaim our freedom and empty the trash in Congress and the White House. Second we need to clean out the myriad of laws that a complicit Congress and the corporations have passed that is killing our economy as well as our freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the way, we will wind up closing down whole government departments that are not directly essential to the welfare of the country and scale back programs that are not proven to be of good use to the nation’s well being as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the way, the people will have to decide whether or not entitlements are worth destroying a country and the freedom of the people over. To do so, we will have to stop listening to the enemy and turn to ourselves for the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps one of the first tasks for the renewed nation would be to break up the foreign owned monopoly of our news sources so that Americans can once again get the news from an unbiased and ethical source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said before, liberalism used to be a good term because it was a revolt by the people, once they begun to discover that there were other views, other than that of the fanatical bible thumpers and for that I am forever grateful for their contributions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, our enemies have looked for a way to tear our freedom apart since the beginning of our independence and they have successfully hijacked the liberal movement to serve their own agendas by pushing the pendulum too far to the left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that the “Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic” will succeed and will bring the pendulum back to center where it belongs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2529076199242405686?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2529076199242405686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/liberalism-used-to-be-good-term-before.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2529076199242405686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2529076199242405686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/liberalism-used-to-be-good-term-before.html' title='Liberalism used to be a good term before the enemy hijacked it.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4330798505185499658</id><published>2011-11-05T12:59:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-05T12:59:29.740-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The hypocrisy of Politics</title><content type='html'>The hypocrisy of Politics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it wasn’t so sad and so debilitating to our freedoms and well being, I would find much amusement in the hypocrisy of the fact that everyone knows and even expects our politicians to be bald-faced liars and thieves hell bent on exchanging the peoples freedoms and wealth for monetary greed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The really funny part of it stems from the fact that you can be a Pelosi or Harry Reid, etc., etc. with no qualms at all about spinning lies and silly bullshit to cheat the citizens out of their freedom and wealth but should any one get caught with their pants down some where that you probably shouldn’t have your pants down or make a remark that could be construed as racist, sexist or harassing in some way, will get you be instantly buried in media doodoo or maybe even some jail time, not to mention your career will be toast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real hypocrisy of it all is the fact that the media itself is shamelessly complicit with the very same forces that are tearing down the nation’s freedom and economy to satisfy the greed of the International Banksters and other criminal cronies because they are actually owned and governed by the same bunch of snakes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the thinking class of America knows that what the media is trying to do the Herman Cain is pure bullshit simply by the way they are going about it and not bothering to get to the bottom of the story to see if in fact that there is a real story. Why bother to when all you have to do is make insidious innuendos, backed up by fact or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one thing however that is heartening about the whole thing and that is the fact that it suggests that the sinister forces behind it, are worried about Herman Cain and the possibility of his election. Also should Herman Cain manage to show that these charges are superficial or felonious, it would backfire for his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that Herman Cain probably pointed his finger at the wrong man for tipping off the media but it would have made him look silly if he stated as I do that it was the Washington Mafia that brought it up. After all you can’t suggest that our government is corrupt can you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that the American public will soon catch on to the real story and to the realization that they can not trust government or the media to bring them the truth or even some semblance of it. Let us hope that America will soon realize that the status-quo politician is the enemy and that we need to clean house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that you can probably take to the bank is that next Friday November 11, the media will be busy covering some celebrity or the ongoing OWL unless they are lucky enough to have some grisly shooting to cover somewhere, because the last place that they would be caught at is covering the Veterans march on Washington, demanding the resignation of Obama, his entire cabinet and a good many corrupt politicians of Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please support the Declaration to Restore The Constitutional Republic.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4330798505185499658?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4330798505185499658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/hypocrisy-of-politics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4330798505185499658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4330798505185499658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/11/hypocrisy-of-politics.html' title='The hypocrisy of Politics'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-2681794920366916502</id><published>2011-10-31T13:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T13:12:32.047-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic</title><content type='html'>The Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a very concerned citizen and small businessman (I make hand made knives) who has spent the past several years trying to understand why America has fallen to the tragic and perilous situation that we are in, I personally ask and even beg each and everyone that I send this important notice to, to please take the time to read the material and to act upon it, as I profoundly believe that our very freedom, welfare and our survival is at stake and time is running out fast. However there is hope and knowledge is a very powerful tool to own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All across the nation, there are a myriad of highly concerned groups, ranging from the folks trying to save our Second Amendment Rights to folks working to stop the insane and debilitating government intervention in general, that is killing our economy and our freedoms, to the now famous Tea Party movement trying to place a non corrupted candidate on the ticket to run against Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all these groups collectively add up to a sizable portion of the general public although the media tries its best to either ignore them or tries to ridicule them as extremists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although these groups do add up to a substantial amount of voters, it may not be enough to counteract those that are still under the influence of the brainwashing inflicted upon them by the public school system, the filtered and spun media and Hollywood propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact government has become so corrupted as to pose a serious threat to our ability to use the standard means of the ballot box to vote out the corrupted ones and replace with honest citizens who would follow, protect and abide by the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who is following the GOP candidates who are vying for the position to run against Obama can see that the sinister forces are hard at work to either trivialize, or demonize the very candidates that would in fact work to restore our freedoms and our economy along with some common, or should I say not so common, sense to the nation’s government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government has been usurped by those that do not care about your freedoms or your economic welfare and this coming year will define America either as a fallen nation under a dictatorship or it will see the rebirth of the greatest nation on earth. In either event this coming year will be the most important and celebrated year of the nation or it will be the worst tragic travesty in our national history and the end of freedom in the free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our forefathers envisioned this day and were wise enough to give us the very tools to overcome the evil forces that are at work today and getting very near to the successful ends of their ominous and devious tasks. The question is; do we have the courage and the will to defend ourselves against those that would take it away and make us all slaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two groups teaming up to put this tool to work and it is headed up by Colonel James Harding, the leader of Veteran Defenders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is the plan and the links to the organizations that are working to keep your freedom and they do need your help and they need it right now, to day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your help could be all or some of many different parts ranging from simply sending out this notice to everyone on your list and telling every one of your friends or family and coworkers to actually going to Washington and participating in the most important event that probably will ever happen in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not procrastinate or dismiss this event as your very freedom, personal welfare and survival may very well depend on it. Yes I fear that it is just that serious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lyle Brunckhorst&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States Patriots Union (USPU) and Veteran Defenders of America (VDA) are requesting that you stand up and defend American values in a patriotic march on Washington D.C. on 11-11-11. If you support the 2nd Amendment, small businesses, and the other USPU values listed below, then the time has come to stand with your fellow Americans in support of what made this nation the greatest in the history of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal Freedom - Individual Liberty - State Sovereignty and Rights - An unalienable Right to Life - Free-Market Economics - The Bill of Rights - The US Constitution as written and ratified - National Sovereignty and Security - Color Blind Justice and the Rule of Law - Our Declaration of Independence - A right to work, earn and own - A morally and ethically sound society and government&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goals of these groups and the march can be found in A Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like what you see, please disseminate this information to everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to see you there, and thank you for your time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States Patriots Union&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonderful media sources that deserve our support for coverage of the 11.11.11 Veteran's Day event...&lt;br /&gt;http://www.veterandefenders.org/PressPage-for-11-11.htm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congressmen are also on board.

type='text'>Don’t be all that surprised if Obama wins in 2012</title><content type='html'>Don’t be all that surprised if Obama wins in 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As bad as the economy is, as treasonous as Obama appears to be, the fact that Obama may not even be a citizen and that many Americans think that he is either inept or deliberately trying to destroy America, he may still wind up being reelected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off is the fact the no matter what Obama does, he still has a following that will go to any means to end capitalism and convert America to socialism or maybe even full blown communism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second many Americans have no idea of the perils that are hanging over their heads and believe that nothing bad will ever happen in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third many of the folks that are unhappy with things in America blame the wrong folks that are responsible for the sad situation that we are in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth the few, but steadily growing number of folks that do understand the problem can’t stop quibbling over details that are not paramount to the situation or are letting the media sway them into thinking that they will have to pick someone who is more mainstream and more likely to be elected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifth is the fact that the media is owned by the same folks that don’t really care if someone like Romney beats Obama or not because either will allow business as usual. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However they do care whether or not Obama gets beat out by someone like Ron Paul who would try to stop the “business as usual” and put America back on the road to freedom or Herman Cain who would actually make the rich pay their fair share of taxes by eliminating the tax codes that they installed for their own benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixth Obama is the organizer and he has already told us how he plans to upset the election by using Acorn, now under different names, to run the ballot boxes and of course don’t forget the free amnesty for a vote trade off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No time is running short and we are still tuning into the latest “Romney versus Perry” soap box as if either of these two bozos are going to make any kind of difference on anything. If either of these two clowns gets the nod, we may just as well reelect Obozo himself; at least we know what to expect form him now that he is constantly stabbing us in the neck and that Congress is tied up over him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it is time to get the clowns off of the stage and start letting the real men of honor duke it out for the chance to bust Omama’s chops. Why don’t we try for freedom and real economic growth instead of business as usual?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>The freedom to Create Our Own Damn Jobs.</title><content type='html'>The freedom to Create Our Own Damn Jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Stuart Rothenberg got on Fox News and proclaimed that the only GOP candidate that had a chance to get nominated was Mitt Romney, I got the impression that he was just another Mafia owned media pundit plugging for anyone in the good old boys club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I see this kind of shenanigan or deceptive rhetoric, I am both angered by their idiotic clinging to an ideology that will spell the death of freedom and also heartened by the fact that the sinister forces at work are terrified of a candidate with some real substance and integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously Stuart has some intelligence to have gotten to where he is but you have to wonder whether or not he actually believes in his own dribble and thinks he is doing America a service, or is he simply bought and paid for by the same bunch who owns the mainstream media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good many Americans now are awake and know that this nation is in very serious trouble and about to enter some very perilous times and you would think that someone who makes a living by writing about politics would be aware of that also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a good portion of Americans keep listening to the Stuart Rothenberg types and accept his dribble as fact that the best, for the nation, candidates can not win or that only a “Washington insider” can get elected, this nation will continue to stagnate and we will slip into another great depression. Not that we aren’t feeling it now but far worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us are aware that what is killing the economy is the very same and identical thing that is killing our freedom; far too many unnecessary laws, government rules, government departments gone rogue, regulations and Marxist type policies that have placed our businesses and our economy in chains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be insane that we would support a candidate that says he would repeal Obamacare but yet he still supports its sister Romnycare. It just doesn’t add up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also insane that we would support a candidate that has stated that he will create “E verify” (read that as another name for Federal ID Card). Sorry but no thanks slick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this a man who would be repealing the very red tape that is grinding our economy to a stand still or will he simply go on supporting more and more debilitating red tape?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please tell all of the Stuart Rothenberg types to start supporting those that will restore what this nation needs; the freedom to create our own damn jobs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-7030197995043958291?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/7030197995043958291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/freedom-to-create-our-own-damn-jobs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7030197995043958291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7030197995043958291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/freedom-to-create-our-own-damn-jobs.html' title='The freedom to Create Our Own Damn Jobs.'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-3031462546402431981</id><published>2011-10-20T12:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-20T12:50:29.753-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Reviving The Economy</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The economy will come roaring back to life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE need to revisit an overlooked but all important concept of reviving the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians have a bad habit of saying anything that sounds good to make it look as though they have your interests at heart. They will use key words and phrases that they know are on the voter’s minds and strike stately like poses to show off how presidential they look in their three piece suit and perfect hair cuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere between “build a border fence” “I will pass the E verify” (another name for national ID card) and “I have a track record of building jobs” the whole point gets lost in a tangled mess of political hysteria, bullshit and lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have stated before the two leading buffoons, Mittiaso and Rickiaso, bring nothing to the table but well polished bullshit and the same old tired rhetoric that voters have been listening to for generations. Blah, blat, puke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those that have been paying attention will note that it is the astronomical amount of laws, rules, red tape and plain stupid governmental meddling that has killed the economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it then that the only candidates that know this truth and have been trying to tell us this all along are the only ones that are ignored and even worse scorned as losers that have no chance of beating Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America has much more than just an economic problem, it has a problem with a government that has turned against its own citizens and has become the very tyranny that our forefathers were wise enough to warn us about. Too damn bad we didn’t listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our country has a serious problem, however, the solution is an easy one to grasp and understand, regain our freedoms again and the economy will come roaring back to life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should the American people fail to grasp the dire situation in time however, terrible things will befall its citizens and the unthinkable will come to pass in America as it has in Russia, China, Poland, Cambodia, Philippines and a number of other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very things that we shudder about, when we do hear of them but quickly dismiss as impossible in America, will become the norm and the very worst of the atrocities that cost millions of citizens their lives could become a stark and horrific reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon after the new powers of government seized all firearms in these communist countries, the cleansing of some 65 million dissenters, writers, scholars, members of the media and all other factions that are considered as unnecessary or detrimental to the regime began. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice is ours if we have what it takes to take back our freedom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will be harder to endure, fighting to regain our freedom or huddling in fear every time you hear the Homeland Security trucks coming down the road? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you see your self having fun at Camp FEMA?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-3031462546402431981?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/3031462546402431981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/reviving-economy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/3031462546402431981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/3031462546402431981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/reviving-economy.html' title='Reviving The Economy'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8330430121310084779</id><published>2011-10-19T12:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T12:12:49.316-07:00</updated><title type='text'>CNN Presidential Debate</title><content type='html'>CNN Debate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anderson Cooper was right in step with business as usual during the presidential debate and after an hour of watching the embarrassing display of childish bickering between Romney and Perry, he claimed them as still being the top runners with Cain following close behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In actuality these two clowns were the only two that did not bother to answer the questions asked but also they did not offer any new or useful or even remotely relevant thing to the information that voters need to make a sound decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost everyone attacked Herman Cain’s 9, 9, 9 plan and Herman lost some ground when he insisted that folks go to his web site and add up the figures for themselves. I think he should have been a little better prepared to explain his plan in more detail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most folks have the same fear as I do about giving Congress that many taxes to increase in the future and the idea of making all businesses deal with tax collection makes me shudder at the prospect of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michele Backmann was very aggressive and demanded more attention by challenging the two clowns as well as others but fell short on giving a clear account of how she would go about accomplishing her claims to create jobs. She needs a clearer message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt Gingrich came off as the most intelligent candidate in the debate and even backed up Herman’s 9,9,9 plan but was given very little chance to show off his intellect and grasp of things. However, with that said, I have no idea of what Newt’s plan would be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual Ron Paul had the best and simplest message of all and his plan is rather clear but his talking style does not give him the proper stately confident leadership quality that people like to see in a candidate and that is too bad. And as usual he is given the least amount of opportunities to make his points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Santorum seems to me to be a far better candidate than that of the two before mentioned bickering clowns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is utterly and woefully sad that these two candidates have the most money at their disposal and they are the two that should be given the boot so that we could get down to discovering which of the other candidates, that we really want in the Oval Office, are.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8330430121310084779?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8330430121310084779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/cnn-presidential-debate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8330430121310084779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8330430121310084779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/cnn-presidential-debate.html' title='CNN Presidential Debate'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4450821332256233174</id><published>2011-10-17T14:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T14:52:24.413-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Our Suspicions Confirmed?</title><content type='html'>Our Suspicions Confirmed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZsiC7dRVpnw?version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZsiC7dRVpnw?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While watching the last news cast about the foiled attempt to bomb the Saudi ambassador on US soil, I wondered if it were actually real or just made up to take the heat off of Eric Holder.

Lets not let that happen to us here in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All you have to do is take a good hard look at what is happening right now in America and you will have to admit that we are in great peril.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The freedom in America has over the past 70 years or more been steadily declining and we are now heading at high speed for the final assault on our beloved freedom. The saddest part is that we have allowed our government and our schools along with the faction in Hollywood to literally brainwash our children and convincing them that freedom is not good for the common good of the nation and that we need even more government to care for our needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a great fear and dread that we will not be able to wake up enough of the misguided folks to save our selves from the tyranny and atrocities that are about to befall us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching the "Occupy Wall Street" thing proves to me that various sinister factions are at work and are well funded and determined to bring America to its knees. Yes some of these demonstrators have valid points but their anger and energy is channeled in the wrong direction. What really is an insult is that someone has compared this organized and largely paid for event to the real and concerned American patriots, by calling it the tea party of the left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nagr.org/PresSurveyDonateB.aspx?pid=1b"&gt;http://nagr.org/PresSurveyDonateB.aspx?pid=1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4070459841707447582?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4070459841707447582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/guns-freedom-and-presidential.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4070459841707447582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4070459841707447582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/guns-freedom-and-presidential.html' title='Guns, Freedom and Presidential Candidates'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-2931153114878970634</id><published>2011-10-16T15:47:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-16T15:47:47.484-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A message to the “Occupy Wall Street Protesters”</title><content type='html'>A message to the “Occupy Wall Street Protesters”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I or the government or anyone else could somehow hand these protesters life on a silver platter, should we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is a resounding hell no. If we could, which we can not, but we did anyway, it would be meaningless and the recipients would still be stuck in their misery and demanding yet more handouts and entitlements. Appreciation comes from earning things through hard work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Confucius, or Moses or Jesus or someone, or maybe even all of the above, once said, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“To give a man a fish is to feed him for a day. To teach a man to fish is to feed him for a life time”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can replace “fish” with many other words and get to the same meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the concerns heard from these protesters are valid issues and it is wrong for Fox News to simply ridicule them all as a group of idiots, which some apparently are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem lies in the fact that reporters that are trying to interview some of these protesters are screamed at by folks who apparently have no clue why they are there or have no ability to articulate their concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others that do voice concerns that are real and valid issues, direct their tyrannical rage at the wrong source and blame the very folks that could and can be their only salvation, namely the corporations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always advocated that the corporations are not the only villains in the works and that it takes two or more to make a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama was the first to coin, or at least phrase the term first in public, “Private/Government Partnership” or “Corporate/Government Partnership”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These misguided fools that are camped out on Wall Street and other places, are placing their hopes on the very same problem that created their plight in the first place, the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is true that corporations can wreak terror if left alone to their own devious methods without at least some small constraint. However when the government allows or even condones the corporations to make laws that impinge on our freedoms and pocket books, that is another matter of grave concern and thereby lies the true problems at hand.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2931153114878970634?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2931153114878970634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/message-to-occupy-wall-street.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2931153114878970634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2931153114878970634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/10/message-to-occupy-wall-street.html' title='A message to the “Occupy Wall Street Protesters”'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-7458088111566460928</id><published>2011-10-15T12:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-15T12:09:56.432-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ron Paul a Real American and True Statesman</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Ron Paul a Real American and True Statesman&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ka1ym7S3F3w?version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ka1ym7S3F3w?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka1ym7S3F3w"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka1ym7S3F3w &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day we are beset with volumes of misleading and rancor rhetoric about who can or can not win the 2012 presidential election and with most, if not all of it, coming from the “bankster” owned media, it is of no surprise then that they are trying to sell us on the hand picked rhinos from the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is difficult enough for even those of us that do take the time to try and dig to the bottom of the rhetorical garbage, to sift out the facts from hype and seek out the real candidates from those that would serve their Mafia masters, the “International Banksters”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem certainly lies mainly with the media and it is a mighty force to reckon with because most Americans still glue themselves to the filtered and spun propaganda that comes to us from the men behind the curtains that control the so called news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem has become so blatant, from the Mafia type media that we can almost rely totally on what they propose and say and take that as an exact barometer of which is the exact opposite of reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, the media is generally known by the average citizen to be heavily left slanted, yet they are telling us what GOP candidate is better suited to defeat Obama or other Democratic candidates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is no accident that they ignore such candidates as Ron Paul, Michele Backmann and even Herman Cain is dismissed as a flash in the pan although he is steadily and quickly gaining more and more support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Herman Cain because he tells it like he sees it and he can stand his ground. However I do not like the idea of having both an income tax and a national sales tax as this will lead to disaster as soon as the left should regain control again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Michele Backmann because she is not only smart but is actually advocating freedom and following the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the Washington Mafia supports the likes of Mitt Romney, Rich Perry and even Chris Christy through their controlled media, they fear Ron Paul, Michele Backmann and Herman Cain because these folks are out of their control and could very well upset their felonious ring of operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more that one digs into who Ron Paul is and what he is about, the more that you realize why he is feared so much by the crooked crowd in Washington and why he is probably the best candidate that America has going for 2012.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Come on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't think that they are all that concerned with beating Obama as much as they are keeping one of their own bankster picked mafia members in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes you wonder, who is more afraid of the real candidates that would actually adhere to the Constitution and the principles of freedom, the Democrats or the GOP Rhinos? Well maybe they are from the same cloth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s see now, Rick Perry will not assure us that he is pro 2nd amendment and likes to rule by executive order, although he does likes to shoot, Romney still clings to his socialistic Medicare program and Christie is anti 2nd amendment and pro carbon tax.

What Obama chose to do however was  just the opposite,  instead he intensified racism for his own gains and  divided the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact the country has not been this divided since the civil war and Obama is largely responsible for that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8106124509281495104?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8106124509281495104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/09/morgan-freeman-claims-racism-in-us.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8106124509281495104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8106124509281495104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/09/morgan-freeman-claims-racism-in-us.html' title='Morgan Freeman claims racism in the U.S'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-2488961278370074083</id><published>2011-09-09T16:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-09T16:29:08.298-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rule by Force</title><content type='html'>Rule by Force&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America has grown accustomed to violence and it is by no surprise as the world is well known throughout history for atrocities against citizens by despot rulers and for untold blood soaked battles across many changing borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America itself has had its own violent times as well but over the years the lawman has gained the upper hand and for many years and up until now we have felt comfortable to travel about our communities without fear, for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although we can contribute this taming of the West, so to speak, to concerned citizens urging the passage of certain laws and a willingness to fund a police force to enforce these laws, things have long since gone beyond what is prudent in many cases a false pretense of public safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps some of these excessive laws were made with good and honest intentions but not well thought out, but there are many laws that are not made with good intentions at all although they are falsely touted as necessary for the public good or safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem arises when you know that and you know that the government knows that and the demand for more and more laws never ceases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is at this time that the government stops looking out for the citizens that created the government to look out for them. Instead the government now has its own interests in mind and the citizens are now a mixture of subjects to provide the government with revenue and live bodies for the infantry but are also a hindrance and threat to its existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the citizens become subjects and a threat to the government, the government feels a need to implement yet more laws to keep the subjects in line and creates yet more frustrations from the citizens and the spirals continues to the very death of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It becomes more and more difficult for a government to enforce the ever growing pile of laws heaped onto the populace and so the government creates more and more government departments to contend with a rising unrest among the subjects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we are seeing more and more government agencies that raid various enterprises in numbers while wearing armor and Ninja masks with drawn guns at the ready as if they were performing another raid on Entebbe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, are they afraid that some little old lady is going to beat them with her cane when they arrive at the grocery to inspect the milk to ensure that it is not wholesome?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about the raid on Gibson Guitar with drawn guns? How on earth can we justify allowing that to happen? Who is next?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to wonder at it all. Is this necessary? Is this the kind of America that we want to live in? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fail to file your taxes properly and the IRS dressed in Ninja suites brandishing assault rifles breaks down your door shoots your dog, tackles and cuffs your wife, jerks the cables out of your computer and carries it of to the lab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time I see the black uniform with masks and the “lawmen doing the hut, hut, hut” I get this feeling of both dread and queasiness and I also wonder how long it will be before they arrive at my or my neighbor’s door looking for the latest outlawed commodity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can still remember the ATF doing a high five over the fresh body of a young man who was having some mental issues and out of desperation commandeered a school bus but later walk away from it and was sitting a park bench when shot by a sniper.&amp;nbsp; Really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how long will the American public allow the government to keep growing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long will we put up with the government training of special troops to curtail riots spurred by food shortages that are fostered by foolish government programs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long will we keep on electing the same old tired politicians that go to Washington with the intentions of getting their fair share of the raiding and raping of America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long will we keep swallowing the same old swill perpetrated on us by the bought and paid for media?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will we stop listening to the party factions and their pundits and start looking for people to elect to office that will reinstate the constitution and our freedoms?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m beginning to think that it will not happen in time and that the majority of voters will repeat the same mistake again, unless there is a very sudden rise in awareness and very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I, and I think that most everyone else, would rather stop the demise of our country by the ballot box and not by the blood of many good patriots and fools protecting the tyrants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your powder dry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2488961278370074083?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2488961278370074083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/09/rule-by-force.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2488961278370074083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2488961278370074083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/09/rule-by-force.html' title='Rule by Force'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-3020680820811201502</id><published>2011-09-05T17:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T17:29:13.977-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Time is running out</title><content type='html'>Rick Perry is a mixed bag of ideas and there are things that seem to be on track with what America is all about and yet there are other things that bother me about him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like his way of looking like a leader and his fearless way of shooting appropriate spit balls at the FED etc. I think that he may be a get it done kind of guy and would be a leader that would demand respect from both home and abroad, unlike the present suit in the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However there are some disturbing things about Perry that demands looking into and needs to be answered before we hoist him onto the throne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number one is the fact that he is a professional politician and that alone demands a certain amount of scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 is his trip to the Bilderberger conference that he attended prior to jumping into the presidential race. Really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 is his reluctance to answer the 2nd amendment survey to declare his position on the citizens right to own and bear arms, although he is an avid shooter himself. Bilderberger payback?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 is his failure like so many other politicians to declare their position on the constitution, our freedom and address the fact that most politicians are ignoring their sworn duties to uphold, abide by and protect the most important laws of the land namely the Constitution of the United States of America. Again, Bilderberger payback?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is just a very few videos about his issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90jfQrb4wAE&amp;amp;NR=1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.dailypaul.com/123187/rick-perrys-north-american-highway&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://stuffedsuits.com/news/stating-the-obvious/42-stating-the-obvious/800-rick-perry-equals-lindsey-graham&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the things on the following site I actually think are good points for Perry. You pick.&lt;br /&gt;http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/06/10/241830/top-10-thing-texas-gov-rick-perry/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, I or we all could only wish that Ron Paul had the same amount of charisma as Perry because Ron Paul does not have to prove himself for the simple reason that he has a very long track record of being always on the side of the Constitution and personal freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However most folks are not aware of this because the media not only tries to hide that fact from you but the media has spent much or their time doing a real good job of painting Ron Paul as an "isolationist" for wanting the same thing that the lib's claim to want, "out of the insane wars that we are always in for no good reason".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media also would have you believe that the FED has things under control and that Ron Paul is crazy for wanting the people to go back on the ancient practice of "using gold as money". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They claim that we couldn't possibly mine enough gold to keep pace with how much money is required in our system and they are quit right in that respect if you consider how the FED operates and how much money the FEDS need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They miss the point completely because gold will not and can not inflate like paper dollars that are printed into existence like the FED and the government likes to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So time is running out fast for who will be picked to run against the Obama regime and we need to not only got our acts together and find someone who can beat Obama, but we also need to consider the consequences of choosing another Mafia Puppet, operated by the same puppeteer that controls Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is this so important? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason is very simple, America has been under subtle attack for many years going back to before FDR and although the takeover of America has been very slow up to this point, the things necessary for a complete coup are now nearly in place and they want to get the job done before too many of us catch on and rise up to stop them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am saying is this and I want to be very blunt; you are on the very verge of losing your freedom and your country to a bunch of snobby, selfish and sinister skunks that are insanely rich but are no longer satisfied with just being rich, they want it all. They will not stop until they own the world and everyone and everything in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who would keep on saying that there is nothing that can be done anyway, please go climb back under your bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who like freedom and would like it to stay that way, you know what to do. Educate the naive, waken the oblivious, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as the American people continue to listen to the media's bullshit that Ron Paul, Cain, Bachmann, Palin, Trump or anyone else that touts our freedom can't win, they will be correct simply because the people fell for the swill given them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have said before, the media is owned lock, stock and barrel by the same folks that are backing the puppets.

Failing to heed this precaution will only result in your failure to gain any ground in educating the naïve and actually strengthen their resolve, to remain uninformed, as now they really may think you are crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One also must refrain from suggesting the more obvious solutions to the problems of government for fear of being branded a terrorist and a raving lunatic extremist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from the article; “Dear Federal government: Go to hell!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.personalliberty.com/conservative-politics/government/dear-federal-government-go-to-hell/?eiid=&amp;amp;rmid=2011_09_01_PLA_[P11435429]&amp;amp;rrid=306987966&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Start talking 10th Amendment, state sovereignty or — heaven forbid — nullification, and you will immediately find yourself branded as an extremist, a nut job, a radical and out of the mainstream. There’s even a supposedly nasty term for those of us who would dare advance such nutty principles: “Tenther.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, apparently, the American majority is just plain nutty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Rasmussen poll released last Friday tells us that “54 percent of Likely U.S. Voters believe that states should have the right to opt out of federal programs they don’t agree with.” In other words, more than half of Americans now embrace the Constitutional concept of State sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More telling than this small majority in support of such crazy ideas is the much smaller minority of people opposed to them. Only 31 percent of those polled disagreed and said States should not enjoy the ability to opt out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about that for a moment, because it is significant. Less than one-third of the country opposes our base principle that each State can and should have a unique approach to handling various political issues.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you know it, someone from this group of crazy insane, freedom loving extremists will be advocating that we follow the suggestions laid out for us by our forefathers to nullify the federal government and start a new one in its place should it become tyrannical in nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh such crazy talk.

In fact he refuses to even pick the registered survey mail up from the Post Office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I’m not hearing from Rick Perry is deafeningly loud and crystal clear, he is just another dime a damn dozen politician that will probably get the nod from the Washington Mafia and also the votes from voters who are all too easily influenced by the lame stream media, who would have you believe that the candidates that are real choices for your freedom, have no chance at toppling the Obama fascist regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are still being flimflammed and it is time for Americans to start realizing that this is the time to wake up and stand up. It is now or never. The coup is on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s fate may already be sealed but simply getting rid of Obama will not bring back our freedom. In fact if we fail to pay heed and very soon and allow the election of another establishment picked candidate, we may as well just resign ourselves over to serfdom and get used to being nothing more than subjects of the King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact if we are so stupid to let it happen, get used to the idea of bending over and grabbing your ankles whenever you hear the command. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can clearly see the vivid image of two lanes of moonlight traffic over the Mexican border, the Mexicans that are heading North to get free offered food stamps and other goodies from the great Obamason provider in chief and the Americans sneaking South to escape the wrath of the “great distribution equalizer” before he rips the very shirts off their backs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more about Rick Perry and his refusal to uphold the second amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/hostedemail/email.htm?h=dc3efdb8aee0d83340a69122c28bd3df&amp;CID=9685593250&amp;ch=7D286325EFE3E2438FF391C6A8214EE6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-7015833283809934069?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/7015833283809934069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/another-missing-in-action-candidate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7015833283809934069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7015833283809934069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/another-missing-in-action-candidate.html' title='Another Missing in Action Candidate?'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-5721058820693319330</id><published>2011-08-20T17:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-20T18:05:55.588-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Case for Freedom</title><content type='html'>The Case for Freedom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our generation has witnesses some great and exciting discoveries over the past several decades and some have been a boon for business and mankind and yet some have been abused by government to rob the people of their freedoms. Technology was also used very expertly to elect to the White House a man who had no qualifications or skills and apparently no American past nor any love for America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2009 the nation succumbed to the siren song of “Hope and Change” and the “hope” was nothing more than a fleeting false glimmer that was quickly dowsed by the tyranny of “change”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technology has given us the one remaining path to educate the masses of the very things that the media would withhold from you, the internet. Let us hope that it does not get taken over by the same folks that control our media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have witnessed the nation’s first downgrading of the S &amp; P rating and the nation will reel to its consequences for some time to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The citizens have lost billions if not trillions of dollars of their personal wealth, their homes and have lost most of their retirement savings. For some, the needed resurrection of American freedom and prosperity can not possibly come soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have witnessed the greatest assault on our freedoms since our rebellious split from the British Empire but this time it is from within and with the help of outside money and influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the assault on our constitutional rights to the assault on our economy we are under siege and we are fighting battles on many fronts and the enemy is often aided by our very own government and we are often victim to the same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time we are fighting multiple wars on different fronts and not really winning any of them and in fact we are losing ground, especially the war on drugs that one could easily suspect that it is being kept very much alive by those who would profit from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our own government agencies are perpetrating acts of lawlessness in hopes of using the media’s spin from it to bolster falsely implied ideas that guns are falling into the hands of drug cartels because of the loose gun laws of our nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that we are to believe that these billion dollar drug cartels couldn’t possibly get their felonious hands on guns if it weren’t for the “shady” gun dealers near the Mexican border is such states as Texas or Arizona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is the gun dealers have actually balked at selling the guns to these gun runners because of their concerns for the law and how they may be used, but were harassed anyway into complying and were reassured by the BATFE that the guns would not be used to commit crimes. How plausible is that? And why is Holder still stonewalling and claiming that no one in the administration, Congress, the Justice Department or any one else in government was aware of this ridiculous and idiotic perpetration of fraud on the people? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know that the people are finally paying attention to the follies of failed government programs because of the rise of the Tea Party and its many satellite groups of concerned citizens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself why the media and the Administration are trying so hard to paint the Tea Party as evil, ignorant and unwashed terrorist menaces to society. Are they really that scared of these ordinary but hard working and concerned citizens? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes they are because the Tea Party could and hopefully will bring the corrupt part of Congress and establishment crashing down and out into the limelight for everyone to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are about to either reelect a president who is out of touch with both reality and the nation’s people or someone who is again going to promise you hope and change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of Obama’s opponents will be trying to convince you that he or she is the only one who can get jobs back, the nation rolling again and bring you the right hope and change..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these candidates are even placing verbal attacks on the FED because we the people are finally catching on that the FED is a major part of the problem and has been over the past decades since its enactment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one of these candidates has a track record of actually working over several decades to audit the FED and bring out the dirty truth, the rest are simply trying to jump on the band wagon and steal his thunder for their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that we would all agree that getting the governments spending under control and creating jobs is among the nation’s top priorities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following close behind is what to do about things such as the multiple wars that we are fighting and can not afford, the immigration problem, saving Social Security with out bankrupting the nation, eliminating the IRS and enacting a fair and sensible tax among other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, no one will be able to create private sector jobs without somehow coming up with a plan that will reassure businesses that the economy will recover enough to provide them customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, we need to be aware of what it is that curtails consumer confidence and destroys businesses and the economy as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, it would seem the most reasonable route to prosperity is to remove that which does destroy or harm our consumer confidence once that we know what the culprits are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America was born a republic with the successful bid for freedom following the Declaration of Independence and enacting indisputably the worlds best ever written document, The United States Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the birth of our nation was a very strong and prolonged stretch of prosperity for the nation and the nation’s people. Never has a nation become so strong and prosperous in so short of time nor has a civilized nation’s people been so free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nation has had some tumultuous times due to the very nature of the seedier side of some folks who would use any ruse to grab both wealth and power and sadly we failed to listen to the warnings of our forefathers about those who would try and destroy freedom for the sake of greed and power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have allowed our government to become corrupt to the point that it no longer sees fit to follow the rule of law, namely the laws set forth in our Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without these laws, the nation will and has succumbed to tyranny as suggested by the founders and it is due primarily to our inability to pay attention to the nefarious shenanigans of Congress and the lobbying interests of special interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is these shenanigans committed by members of Congress with the help of the lobbyists that are now prohibiting our businesses to thrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is these shenanigans committed by members of Congress that are destroying your personal freedoms as well as our ability to make a living. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is these shenanigans committed by members of Congress that have to be stopped and reversed in order to get our consumer and business confidence back so that we can get our nation back on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever wondered why no one, especially the media, has expounded very much on these and other issues or have never mentioned in public the demise of the American freedom, it is mainly the fact, look it up for yourself, that the controlling interest of the media is owned, lock stock and barrel, by the same set of nefarious rascals that own the FED and also own many members of Congress as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Ronald Reagan was famously quoted and correct in saying, Government is not the solution to our problems, Government is the problem. Our forefathers were smart enough to know it as well and history has also proven that fact many times over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution is really simple; restore the Republic and force government to once again abide by the Constitution and we will not only regain our freedom back but the economy will once again find its own way of not only surviving but it will find its own way to rebound and thrive again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How and where do we even start to get back on track and regain our freedom and our beloved country back?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You start by educating yourself before voting so that you don’t wind up electing a wolf in sheep’s clothing who proclaims to have the answers to getting jobs or solving the debt problem but is wishy washy on how he is going to restore your freedom again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History has proven that the best way to conquer a nation is to first divide that nation and use one faction against another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This accomplishes two things, first you have one faction trying to destroy the other and second, while both factions are taking their eye off of the ball and missing the real issues at hand, this gives the enemy an unobstructed opportunity to slip in and grab full control over both or all factions that are fighting each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example is while you are bickering over someone’s views on abortion that the media is all a frenzy over, Congress silently, with no media interference, slips in a bill that is choke full of crap that no one, in his right mind, would agree to and passes it during the dark of night, like the health care bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all the while you are obsessed with side issues like abortion, gay marriage, saving the latest snail and the many other things that the media dangles in front of you to keep you entertained, the real issues are ignored and hidden from view until one day it is far too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t let the corrupt rascals and the international banksters distract you from the important issues and don’t let them lead you to supporting one of their shills for a candidate, whether it is for the White House, for Congress or for a political position closer to home. Question everything and never take what the media says for fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some advocate that capitalism is evil and that only the rich can profit or flourish at the expense of the down trodden poor and that we need government to step in and take the excess from these rich folks and hand it over to the poor so that they can enjoy the good life as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well all that I can say about that is that every one should get their wish in this respect and these folks could pack up their bags and travel to Europe where socialism reigns and see how that works out for them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact however in Europe only the established rich do, in fact, have much of a chance to profit and flourish. And also if I’m correct, parts of Europe are now burning because the rich aren’t providing enough for the down trodden who are in turn rioting in the streets. Well maybe even Europe isn’t socialistic enough yet for Utopia to exist. There must be someplace on this planet where things are cozy and safe for our liberal friends and where the elves and bunnies play all day long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our freedom is and should be the number one priority because if we do not regain it and very soon, it will be too late to do it peaceably at the ballot box and believe me, we do not want another civil war, least ways not the shooting bullets kind of war that some radicals from mainly the violent left extreme would love to see. And maybe even a few from the right who have had it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our freedom should be priority number one because it is the best and only way to get the economy rolling again and maintain any sense of longevity in the market place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our freedom should be number one priority simply because we are Americans and there is simply no other way to live in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are going to be those that will say that we can’t go back because it will be too complicated and too difficult to unravel all of the laws that have been enacted over the years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who would be swayed by that foolish argument, I suggest this; it is a real mess of tangled and unintelligible crap that needs to be flushed but it will be simple because we could easily keep it simple and simply repeal any and all laws that can not pass the Constitutional smell test. Is this simple enough for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further we need to pass some few freedom insurance laws starting with the one thing or bill at a time law and not allow any new bills to be considered by Congress that can not be read and understood by the average American high school student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That any bill would only include but one subject with no riders attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That all bills would be written in its entirety in plain and understandable English and not be referenced or have the inclusion of or to any other piece of legislation except to the Constitution and only as a way to its clarification for its constitutionality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That all bills be read out loud and thoroughly understood by all members of Congress before any vote can be taken on the bill and that any member of Congress can ask another member of Congress to explain the bill to ensure that he does indeed understand what he is voting on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That no bill shall be considered by Congress that is born by or proposed by any lobbyist or special interest group and punishable by law by expelling from Congress to those who would take monetary gains or favors to the consideration of any bills put before Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what you should demand and expect from your candidates who would ask for your vote and who would represent you in Congress. To ask for less is irresponsible and in fact would be asking for more of the same kind of Congress and tyrannical government in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no short cut to prosperity and please don’t fall for some slick politician who says that he has the magic bullet. Make any candidate explain his plan in detail if he should portend to have a simple answer and does not include the fundamentals of the necessity for both freedom in the market place and for personal freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably will not get a chance to ask your candidates these basic but important questions, but their omission speaks much louder than words ever can. Watch and listen carefully for the omission, especially of the freedom word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no substitute for freedom, government handouts lasts only as long as government is able to take the profits from the working folks or borrow funds from others. Sooner or later they always run out of other people’s money and places to borrow from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-5721058820693319330?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/5721058820693319330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/case-for-freedom.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5721058820693319330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5721058820693319330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/case-for-freedom.html' title='The Case for Freedom'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-5752506708587091816</id><published>2011-08-18T15:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-18T15:24:46.133-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Ron Paul Record</title><content type='html'>The Ron Paul Record&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the awakening of America, the establishment is getting worried and is cranking up the bankster owned media to a new frenzy to discredit anyone seen as a threat to their corrupt Washington Mafia club house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it really comes down to it, there are numerous reasons to elect Ron Paul, in fact far more reasons than could be listed here and there are about as many reasons to not elect some of those who are running against him and for the very same reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is this endless list of reasons that are good for America and good for Americans that have the establishment hucksters quaking in their boots. It is also why that these same corrupt hucksters will use the one and only thing that they can find in Ron’s sterling record of 35 years, as a rare but an honest member of Congress, against him, that is his desire to get us out of the war business. And war is very big business indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul has been criticized as an isolationist because of his belief that America needs to quite having war after war after war and he is right, it is bankrupting America while at the same time making some fat cats ridiculously rich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To give an example, the number of foreign military basis has increased from 737 in 2002 to around 900 at present, according to information taken from sources such as http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;aid=5564 and Judge Napolitano of Freedom Watch. We may need some strategic troops around the world but given the number of basis, there surely is room for some savings here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the chance, Ron Paul will surely clarify his position on foreign affairs and reassure the nervous Nellie’s that he won’t turn his back on our allies or let some towel head blow up the Washington monument or the White House privy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the wasteful business of war, the main things that are killing the US economy is the ridiculous size of government and its expenditures, fraud and waste, but mostly of all, it is the business killing red tape of a run away government. A bloated and interfering government prevents those that would like to conduct business and operate in such a way that would allow them to flourish and go on to create jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Perry, the self acclaimed job creator, appears to be trying hard to steal some of Ron Paul’s thunder with his attack on the FED but when comparing track records, it is a far different story. Perry’s past is filled with folly and misdirection making him just another opportunist of the moment, whereas Ron Paul has an unwavering record of fighting for freedom and restoring the constitution to limit government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also very interesting that the Wall Street Journal would side with Perry’s remarks about Bernanke but remains ominously silent about Ron Paul’s ongoing campaign to audit and repeal the FED. Rick Perry makes for a handsome swash buckling image but in reality is one who wears the uniform with flourish and flair but has refrained from even sharpening his parade sword. Again Ron Paul is the real deal and Perry is but a poor imitation bearing little but a great smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another wall flower, with a great smile, who almost stands out from the crowd is Mitt (missing in action) Romney who is another favorite shill of the establishment. I get the impression that for Mitt to use the F word (F stands for freedom) is akin to eating steamed broccoli. However like Rick, Mitt might garner votes just because of his hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching the debate, I took notice that although all candidates did manage to squeeze in the F word during the final remarks, most of them never even got close to the sticky subject during the course of the evening. Ron Paul however is, by his very nature, always about freedom and is not afraid to talk about it and his every action reflects that as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it you ask, that I do emphasize on the candidate’s ability to deal with freedom? The answer is simple Government has proven that none of the economic theories put forth by socialistic ideals will work; especially in a free market, but they still stick to the Keynesian school of government knows best theory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government intrusion is the greatest drag on our economy and every year it heaps more and more rules and regulations on small and micro businesses that either drive them out of business or makes it nearly impossible to flourish. What it takes to create jobs is an environment that allows business to make profits and flourish. It is as simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when you have someone running around proclaiming to be the great job creator but you know deep down that he is supported by the establishment, you know that he is a fraud. These self proclaimed job creators will say or do anything to get elected but the Mafia head is his boss and jobs are tossed aside because giving the people back their freedoms would mean to relinquish their hold on power and that is not going to happen if they have any say in the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a way, America is already a dictatorship and we bend to the wishes of the same folks who created and own the Federal Reserve, who bought out total control and run the main stream media, control most of Hollywood and in part controls a good share of the free, or not so free, free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morgan, Chase, Rockefeller are the American counterparts to the international banking scheme and are the American part of the Washington Mafia rascals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voter fraud is becoming an ever increasing part of the American scheme and it will take a land slide type of election to gain control over Washington again. Especially if someone like Ron Paul who is a direct threat to the system gets the nomination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our mission is clear, educate yourself so that we don’t fall for just another establishment shill and then get out and campaign for the one who can save your butt and then get out and vote in mass numbers and show the establishment what a voter tsunami looks like.&lt;br

Corrupt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that some unknown character somehow managed to get elected president of the most powerful country in the world which has for a greater part of its life been a country of free men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now imagine this same country now being told, by this largely still unknown and growingly disliked character, that a handpicked dozen of the most corrupt bunch of folks in the country are going to be placed in position to determine the monetary fate of their nation and probably the fate of many other things as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually this is one nightmare that I, and probably most of us, would not choose to witness or partake in, if we had a choice in the matter, but unfortunately it is what it is, another part of the ongoing coup attempt or one of the many parts of the worst and most unusual cases of idiotic coincidences in history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also while the country is writhing in the crippling grip of uncertainty, this same character, who would be likened as king, does not even act like he has a clue and refuses to call Congress back into action to try and come to grips with our plight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows that we need to take some kind of immediate and positive action to stop the deadly spiral of our country to its doom, but he, the imposter in chief, languishes on vacation satisfied with his latest victory. He is also extremely cozy with the idea that he can just coast along and watch his work come to fruit as he strings us along for the next year and more before he can be kicked to the gutter. By that time the damage will be enormous and very difficult to recover from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some will disagree with me on the basis that Obama will want to be reelected and that kind of action would spoil his chances and yet others say that Obama is not evil minded but only in over his head. Either way, he certainly has to go and soon, and either way we need to find a way to circumvent his actions, whether they are by evil design or by super incompetence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m going to send this same message to my WA members of Congress, I will refrain from calling them my representatives because apparently they have yet to demonstrate that they know what it means to represent the community that elected them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2104943573056617193?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2104943573056617193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/super-committee.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2104943573056617193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2104943573056617193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/super-committee.html' title='Super Committee'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-128921540479373501</id><published>2011-08-13T11:31:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-13T11:50:03.329-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Going All the Way Home To Freedom, It’s Now or Never</title><content type='html'>Going All the Way Home To Freedom, It’s Now or Never&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In talking to folks about the difficulties that we and the nation are facing today I realize that there are many folks who are still asleep and those that would prefer to remain asleep. They won’t be sleeping long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also see something else as well, there are many folks who think that if we merely fix the economy that we will be back in the chips again and we will continue on down the happy trail once again. Sorry, it isn’t going to happen but there is hope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that it is going to take much more than just somehow creating jobs. Creating jobs will not be possible without first creating an atmosphere of confidence in both the business world and with the American consumer as well. They are going to need some good reasons to expect improvement and to become, once again, confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uncertainty is the number one job and business killer at present and it comes mainly from how government has botched its ability to spend within its limits and also how government has interfered largely with business with useless and crushing regulations and laws. Most of these laws are written or sponsored by corporations for their own greed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These bad laws not only destroy business but it also destroys personal freedom as well and that is probably the most unreported, covered up and overlooked problem in our nation. There are many other bad laws that need to be purged as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one wants to use the F word in politics and that is probably out of downright embarrassment and fear, and they should very well be embarrassed and they should be fearful because once the masses finally get mad enough for the loss of their freedom, all hell will break loose. What might be the spark that sets the people off is anyone’s guess but should the masses run out of food or some other item of need that will be spark enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tea Party may be the one thing that has actually kept the cork in the bottle as it gives the masses some directed relief of their pent up anger and a feeling that something of good is happening, at least hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And hopefully the Tea Party will take advantage of the fact that people are now finally concerned and will keep on pushing for reform, but I certainly hope that it does not fall short and only try to accomplish economic reform because that will be folly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time is right for the Tea Party to take a firm stand and to not only take on the economic problems of the nation but to charge on and to not only rid the nation of the corruption and the corrupt but to also reintroduce Constitutional law and freedom by simply challenging every law on the books and give each one the constitutional smell test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for anyone who still thinks that politicians have the answers or are the only ones who can get things done, I offer this, there is absolutely no reason for any compromise in the above unless you are willing to deal with the corrupt and to therefore compromise your freedom. Compromise be damned. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-128921540479373501?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/128921540479373501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/going-all-way-home-to-freedom-its-now.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/128921540479373501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/128921540479373501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/going-all-way-home-to-freedom-its-now.html' title='Going All the Way Home To Freedom, It’s Now or Never'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-6260969139707426814</id><published>2011-08-13T10:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-13T10:35:16.116-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Incorrect usage of government</title><content type='html'>An example of incorrect usage of government and is just one small reason, out of many, why America is going to hell in a hand basket.basket. &lt;a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2011/08/03/cruel_laws"&gt;http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2011/08/03/cruel_laws&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has heralded the corporate/government partnership as good business for America. This unholy alliance is in fact the bane and scourge of both freedom and sound economics in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a good look at our tax laws and ask your self why in the world would any government seeking to better the economy would support such a complicated mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our tax laws were originally made to cover for the FED and later engineered to prevent taxing the extreme wealthy while extracting the wealth from those who actually work for a living. Only large corporations can afford to hire an army of tax experts in order to gain full benefits and pay only the lower intended taxes set up by and to benefit the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I as a small business can not afford to reap the same benefits and wind up packing the load, that is providing that we are lucky enough to overcome the government obstacles and become successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strangling business with cruel and unusual laws has only one outcome, less business for all of us, as most businesses can not flourish without other businesses being successful. Its just the way it is and government meddling can not change the natural order of things any more that you can change the way gravity pins you to the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think that by now that both government and large corporations would realize that once you strangle the golden goose, there will be no more golden eggs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I've said before, if more laws were the answer, we would all be living in utopia or in a perfect world, instead we are beginning to see what it will be like living in a perfect government made hell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-6260969139707426814?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/6260969139707426814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/incorrect-usage-of-government.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6260969139707426814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6260969139707426814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/incorrect-usage-of-government.html' title='Incorrect usage of government'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-1767854088386350616</id><published>2011-08-12T12:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-12T12:03:34.618-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yesterday’s Presidential Debate</title><content type='html'>Yesterday’s Presidential Debate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If nothing else it was highly entertaining but fairly informative as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain hardly got a mention by the pundits but in my opinion he was the clear winner for the simple reason that he was crystal clear. It reminded me a little of Ross Perot in the fact that no one could even think about questioning Herman’s clear, precise and unarguable message of what needs to be done in order to survive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that the medial and the media pundits would rather gush about some politician’s stature and fund raising abilities than someone who can talk sense for a change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some pundits claimed that Mitt Romney was the overall winner but I did not see it that way at all. Yes he does manage to keep a stately posture that could be construed, by some, as “Presidential Looking”, but he was really best, in my opinion, at dodging the questions and issues like a really good politician that he is. If that is being presidential, then let us please elect some red neck this time around who has some appreciation for the constitution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitt did offer up some kind of a seven point plan than seemed to me as political rhetoric and at least one of the points must have distracted me because all I got out of it was “ that awful compromise word again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt Gingrich was quick to answer the question about his staff quitting him and his lack of campaign funds and he is a very good speaker and a very intelligent man. Newt knows his way around the barnyard and has a gift of bringing different factions together. My main concern with Newt is that he is too much of a professional politician or “establishment Republican” and very well could be controlled by the Washington Mafia Banksters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michele Bachmann came off as one who does not waver on her principles and does not believe in “COMPROMISING”, yea for her; please give her an A+ for that. She, like most of us, realizes that to compromise it to compromise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She took on Tim Pawlenty and pointed out his shortcomings and his similarities to Obama, ouch. She was also good at fending off the rebuttals fired back at her. Pawlenty mainly attacked her track record of not getting things done. The truth is Bachman fought all the right battles but was not supported by the “mostly corrupt Congress”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul was feisty and as unwavering as usual about auditing the fed and everyone there agreed with him on that issue, what were they going to say after all? Ron like many other folks is my hero as he has consistently fought Congress for our freedom and for economic sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul also has my vote on foreign affairs in that he would prefer to get the hell out of other folk’s business and stick to our own knitting here at home. Others there pointed out to him that we had to do something about Iran’s desire to acquire nuclear arms, but Ron stuck to his guns and pointed out to them that we were the ones that meddled with Iran in the first place when we installed the Shaw as their new dictator. The military complex will not be supporting Ron Paul. Too bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pawlenty’s past remarks about how big government was here to stay caught up with him as well as some other socialistic programs that he supported. Michel Bachman had him mostly defending himself all evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon Huntsman must be really proud of himself as that was about all that he could manage to say all evening. However I never seen him give me any reason for me or anyone else, for that matter, to be proud of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Santorum appeared to be intelligent and well read on the issues but totally lost me when he said that compromising was the only way to get things done in Washington. Again, “To Compromise is to Compromise” and we have very nearly compromised away our entire freedom already and personally I don’t want anybody compromising away what damn little I have left. Damn the politicians who can’t get that fact straight in there greedy and stupid little heads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This poll was from The Blaze&lt;br /&gt;http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2011/08/11/who-won-tonights-debate/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Paul &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 30.77%&lt;br /&gt;Newt Gingrich &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 20.92%&lt;br /&gt;Michele Bachmann &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 17.15 %&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 11.6%&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 8.4%&lt;br /&gt;Rick Santorum &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5.47%&lt;br /&gt;Not sure &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 4.54%&lt;br /&gt;Tim Pawlenty&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0.73%&lt;br /&gt;Jon Huntsman &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0.39%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1767854088386350616?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1767854088386350616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/yesterdays-presidential-debate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1767854088386350616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1767854088386350616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/yesterdays-presidential-debate.html' title='Yesterday’s Presidential Debate'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-3467222478034459041</id><published>2011-08-08T13:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-08T13:47:13.428-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Charity stops here</title><content type='html'>Charity stops here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are a very charitable nation and there are a number of charitable organizations that have been around for many years helping out those that really are in need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charities range from the many local churches to highly organized institutions that work on a global scale such as the Red Cross. My first pair of eye glasses came from the Lion’s Club and I was glad to reciprocate and became a member of the Lion’s latter on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Grover Cleveland was asked to appropriate money for the great Texas drought, known as the Texas seed bill, but refused, citing the limited mission of the general government and arguing that private charity and already-existing government programs should furnish the necessary aid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result of this was that private charity actually came up with far more amount of money than originally requested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When government becomes a charity organization a number of undesirable things precipitate as a result;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is no longer charity, it is a tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks have less money to give to charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks stop giving to charity because the government has taken over the responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less of the money from folks actually gets to the intended recipient because government mishandles the funds, looses it to waste, fraud and graft, turns the process into a nightmare for the intended recipients and gives much of the remaining funds to folks that have learned how to milk the system and often don’t even need it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to pay for all of the new government employees, (parasites if you will) and new government departments, it taxes the working class to the point that it drags down the economy thereby further reducing the money that may have been given to charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government taking over where charity once reigned is a part of the government growth process and the demise of the American dream and where government has control over how and where charities operate it is akin to putting the fox in the hen house and handing out swastikas and riding crops to public servants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are great, their government, once it started ignoring the constitution, sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solution; un-elect and/or imprison every member of Congress who does not follow the laws and spirit of the constitution and let charity, (capitalism, not corporatism), and common sense work its magic again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>American Complacency  and Freedom</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Complacency is not a virtue&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Americans are totally convinced that there is nothing on earth that they can do that would stop government or the clowns in Washington from doing exactly what it is that they want to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Americans are convinced that their singular vote has no significant meaning at the ballot booth and that voting is a futile effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Americans just want to be left alone and do not want to be bothered with the problems of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Americans expect the government to protect and care for them and also expect Congress to make the right choices for them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Americans like to complain about the government but never let their government representatives know how they feel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Americans would admit however that politicians never keep any of their promises and will lie or say anything to get what they want but yet they do absolutely nothing to protest it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be tempted to say, that for these American that are that way, they have gotten exactly what they deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with saying that is that those folks who do care and love their freedom and those folks that are too young to know what they are being cheated out of and other folks who have been brainwashed and duped, do not deserve to see their freedoms trashed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not fair to the folks that have fought for and even given their lives to protect our freedom to have a spoiled entitlement seeking generation trash the rest of our freedoms simply because they now expect big government to rob the rich and give onto them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fair or not, we who do appreciate our freedoms will have to do double duty and fight for what is ours and also fight for those that will despise us for our efforts to save their freedom as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is still incomprehensible and astonishing to me that America has allowed a faction of our society to so efficiently brainwash generations of people into believing that freedom and self reliance is somehow evil and that only big government can provide for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the silver lining in the clouds will be that those who do not take the time to become aware enough to vote intelligently will also be the ones who are too complacent to vote at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please educate yourself and then vote, we can make a difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like to believe that a good many of my readers are as informed and concerned as I am and do forward my efforts in hopes that it will reach a few more folks and help them to become a better informed citizen and to those who do, I thank you wholeheartedly for taking the time and for being a

type='text'>Washington state primary ballot fraud</title><content type='html'>Well I just opened my Washington state primary ballot and of the eight people running for three positions, I have never heard of any one of them before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try to keep up with current affairs, mostly national, but I do not know who these people are, nor do I know anything about them or have any information that would help me to make anything other than just a (dart in the board) kind of choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two things that are in the ballot that I find both a concern but not by any mean a surprise however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First is the, still built in fraud by changing your vote, instruction clause where you, or any one else with access to your ballot, can easily change the ballot with two short strokes of a pen or pencil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay Inslee tells me that we will simply have to trust all of the folks that can gain access to your ballot. Well after seeing what happened to Heidi Munson during the last election, I especially don’t relish what might, or rather probably will, happen in future elections. It is going to take a lot more folks than just me ragging on the rascals to fix this problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, why is there always another emergency service tax that keeps cropping up? Is everything an emergency with these guys? I always just say no as if there was such an emergency, we would all know about it. Governments have way too much funds now and if they were hard up for money, maybe they would have to leave us alone, maybe even downsize a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a national note, how do you feel about John Boehner handing over to Obama the next election and allowing him to stay on his purposeful course of bankrupting America by handing him another blank check? Stupid huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that was ingenious of the Washington Mafia in that they handily orchestrated both the demise of America and the reelection of the alien puppet who is perpetrating it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t you think that it is time to do a little orchestrating ourselves and simply show the world, that is your neighbor, by the way, who is too busy to listen and learn about the house that is crumbling around him, for what our corrupt politicians are doing and what that is going to really mean to them? Freedom lost is tough to regain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Education is the key here to saving ourselves and no one else is going to do it for you, especially the government. It is up to you and only you to inform those around you that they are in deep trouble and very soon if they don’t listen up and take some action and that can be as simple as hitting the forward button and passing the information along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer that it takes to educate the masses and get them on the ready, the worse the situation will become and the harder it will be to overcome it. But overcome it we must, and for those who are still in denial, I am most astonished and totally bewildered.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-5812546091691107623?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/5812546091691107623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/washington-state-primary-ballot-fraud.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5812546091691107623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5812546091691107623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/washington-state-primary-ballot-fraud.html' title='Washington state primary ballot fraud'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-5388071382282726927</id><published>2011-08-04T12:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-04T12:00:14.178-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Failure of Leadership</title><content type='html'>Failure of Leadership&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless the American public rises to the occasion and fires nearly every member of Congress and replaces the present administration this next election and beyond, we will be left with basically only one avenue to regain our freedom, and should we come down to that, it will be dark and dangerous times indeed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just when you think that you have seen it all and witnessed just how low Congress could stoop with the so called “Health Care Plan” fiasco, here it comes again, the “Debt Crises” bill. One would think that the public, after seeing the first movie, would know what the sequel would look like. It is interesting to note that after Obama got his ceiling raised, the stock market is on the skids, wasn’t this supposed to stop this from happening?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We though that the passing of the Obamacare fiasco was about as bad as it could get and we would be busy just trying to undo that monstrosity before it could undo us. And bam it happens again with the passing of the so called “debt ceiling limit” bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks we have been bamboozled again except this time they did not sneak it in the middle of the night disguised as something else, no this time they just simply ignored the entire nation and passed it anyway under the pretense that we got a good deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The did it by claiming that it would protect, or save, us from getting a bad credit rating as a nation and that would have cost us all oodles of higher interest rates and all kinds of other boogie man stuff. And the really sad thing is that once again, we don’t actually know what is included in the bill yet and it has been signed into law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy what saps we are, we elect a racist foreign alien with a deep hatred for America as our president, allow him to destroy our economy, strip us of our freedoms and then fall for his latest plan to raise the debt ceiling in order that he might fix the problem that he helped create in the first place. Just how dumb are we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is, Obama, Bush and Clinton has already wreaked havoc and destroyed our credit rating and the dead line was just a guise to quickly get the dastardly deed done before the public really got a good look at what fraud looks like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Boehner comes off as a hard working Congressman who tried hard to come up with a good compromise but it is purely bull droppings as he has done us in for this round and set back real progress in getting our country back on fiscal track again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad thing about compromising is that it always leaves you compromised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Boehner had to do was to listen to the people and come up with&amp;nbsp; simple but prudent plan to cut spending reduce the debt limit and ensure no tax increases and then just sit on his hands and let Obama’s bluff play out and show him up for fraud that he really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This horrific bill will ensure that Obama will have the funds he needs to fund Obamacare, keep up the ongoing assault of our 1st and 2nd amendment rights as he works to disarm the citizens and destroy our ability to communicate freely with the internet, to purchase even more votes using our money and tamper with the upcoming election process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The horrific bill also allows Obama to continue his objective of spending America into oblivion and trashing our economy even more and that is one of his main objectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boehner has just handed over the very weapons needed by the enemy to conquer us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also please take good notice of the candidate that as quite as a church mouse all during this fracas and who the Republican Party is backing, namely one Mitt Romney. Romney apparently does not want to taint his chances by getting close to any side of this radioactive bomb nor get any Obama mud smeared on him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always considered Mitt Romney as the political professional politician and this has confirmed my suspicions even more as he is obviously a part of the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the upcoming elections we will need to focus on not only ousting folks like Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi and a host of other radicals who call the Tea Party terrorist and racists, but we will have to also keenly scrutinize folks like John Boehner Mitt Romney, McCain and others who have sold us out or will probably sell us out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our task is going to be momentous, to say the least, and we are going to have to pay special attention as to how we pick our candidates and soon as the primaries are going to shaping up. As you can see we not only have to defeat the Obama crew and a host of Congressional Rhinos that we know are selling us out, we are going to have to ensure that we don’t fall for some slick talking Rhino who sounds good at the pulpit but is a member of the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason that the task will be staggering is that the Washington Mafia controls most of Congress, controls most of the media and I’m thinking even Fox News as well, owns the puppets in the White House, owns our central banking system and has no scruples and no love for individual freedom. They have only two loves; Money and Power. The world is not enough to paraphrase the title of a James Bond movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the exception of a very few members of Congress, we will have to rely on our gut feeling for the next leaders to come forward and save our ass. We have a number of groups of citizens who are not only concerned with our future and safety but are becoming the angry mob. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These various groups are what the entrenched politicians fear most and it is called the Tea Party. Yes there is a Tea Party in name group but there are also many other groups of folks who are more specific in nature such as the various clubs and groups who are fighting to retain our 2nd amendment rights and all of these groups are in support of the Tea Party. No wonder the left are calling the Tea Party every name in the book, they are terrified of losing their socialistic control and maybe even facing some jail time as well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-5388071382282726927?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/5388071382282726927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/failure-of-leadership.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5388071382282726927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5388071382282726927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/08/failure-of-leadership.html' title='Failure of Leadership'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-1899367192332476960</id><published>2011-07-31T18:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-31T18:20:28.161-07:00</updated><title type='text'>You can tell by the signs</title><content type='html'>You can tell by the signs that the Tea Party is winning or at least is gaining support and scarring the hell out of many members of Congress, the Justice Department and especially the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance; Robby Mook, DCCC Executive Director would like you to believe that the “Radical Tea Party Republicans are pushing our economy to the brink of disaster”. His words, not mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Democrat member of Congress; quoted as saying “The Tea Party is not fit to lead” and any of them are?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEIU and others; “The Tea Party is nothing more than a pack of white, gun packing, slack jawed hillbillies and&amp;nbsp; KKK hooded racist”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The far left has tried every trick and spewed every lie in the book to discredit both the Tea Party and any Tea Party member vying for political office or who has a vocal platform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The GOP has tried to align itself with the Tea Party in hopes of gaining support from conservatives but have received cool receptions because of their political Washington Mafia stance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day the Tea Party gains more and more support as the once complacent public awakens to the political nightmares that have been bestowed upon them by their elected officials out of political greed for power and money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that we have ample time to prod the sleeping giant into a tsunami tidal 2012 election and scour out the Washington house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that we have little time to pick a real genuine and honest, non Mafia inflicted candidate that will go up against the biggest funded bunch of Mafioso’s to ever infest DC and who will stop at nothing to hold on to power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have in our midst; a couple of candidates now vying for presidential position that very well could be the dreaded wolf in sheep’s clothing (The Washington Mafia). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we should be so unfortunate as to select one of these, it will appear at first, to be a victory but will soon find us back to the same sad position that we are in today and could even swing the pendulum to the left again. It is all a sad game of who is worse of the two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us all hope that the Tea Party is successful in vetting the right candidate for the job and let us get the Mafia out of the government. You can actually see by how the media reacts as to what candidate is a real Tea Party patriot and who is the wolf in disguise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The harder the “Lame Stream” media tries to trash a potential candidate, the better they look to me and for good reason; they are all terrified that their Mafia may crumble.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1899367192332476960?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1899367192332476960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-can-tell-by-signs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1899367192332476960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1899367192332476960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-can-tell-by-signs.html' title='You can tell by the signs'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-1976558336698093086</id><published>2011-07-31T12:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-31T12:26:25.411-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Government Banking has gone too far</title><content type='html'>Government Banking has gone too far&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government has gone too far, the other day I was kind enough to exchange some pocket change for a five dollar bill from a Canadian visitor and then, later on, found it impossible to spend it. I took it to my local bank and asked if I could exchange it for American money and was informed that I could not simply exchange it. Are we at war with the Canadians again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I had to do was have them do the exchange rate, and I’m certainly glad that they were kind enough to not charge me shop rates for the time it took to do the paper work. I actually came out 4 cents ahead but they then informed me that I could not have the money in cash as they would have to deposit it in my bank account. I guess it must be considered as income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What bothers the hell out of me about this is practically everything. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For starts, I was unaware of this new banking regulation and I wonder how it got passed with nary a mention anywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second what is the premise for this intrusive regulation?

Obama acts more     like someone who's sole purpose is to spend the nation into ruin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No it is not the federal governments obligation to provide for     anything beyond the defense of our country and to ensure that our     various states can keep commerce rolling, not to regulate it to     death as government does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The federal government has one more obligation in that it is charged     with abiding by, upholding and protecting the Constitution of the     United States of America. The federal government and the Congress     has sorely neglected this obligation and has fairly well done just     the opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The states have the obligations of providing for the laws and do     provide for some few services for the people but the federal     government has far overstepped its boundaries and jurisdiction in     the matters of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The federal government was set up by the people to ensure the     freedoms of the people, not to try and provide services for the     people and thereby trounce their personal freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and the other members of Congress really need to reassess your     positions as elected officials and re-remember just what you were     elected to do in office. Obey the Constitution and refrain from     voting in ever increasing salaries and golden pensions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people are not all as dumb as you would like to believe, many     however were too complacent for their own good. We know that many     members of Congress have abused their positions of power to further     their own greed in total and obvious disregard for their     constituents. And now it has come to down to the people standing up     for their freedoms and they will do what ever it takes to regain     what they have lost due to Congress's inability to police its own.     The Tea Party will police and clean out the House and Senate and may     even seek the arrests of those complicit with what some would call     treason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For way too many years you and other members of Congress have     ignored and even scoffed at your constituents and flaunted your     disdain for the people and that is exactly why that there is now a     growing and highly concerned Tea Party that is about to change     things in Washington. You are very close to enraging them and that     would be something the wise would try to avoid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure that even if you change your position today that the     Tea Party will forgive your past transgressions but it is at least     worth a try, don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time to start repairing the damage and putting the     nation's needs first?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time to stop the madness that grips Washington and stop     the insane spending spree?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time to start thinking about your grand children's future     and the future of generations to come?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time to think about what freedoms that we have lost     because of political greed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time for all of us to think about how to salvage our     nearly lost freedoms and this nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lyle Brunckhorst&lt;br /&gt;Citizen in tears&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 7/27/2011 3:32 PM, &lt;a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Maria_Cantwell@cantwell.senate.gov"&gt;Maria_Cantwell@cantwell.senate.gov&lt;/a&gt; wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mr. Brunckhorst,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts on federal spending.     I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government has a responsibility to spend taxpayers' dollars wisely,     but it also has a responsibility to provide certain services and     guarantees to the American people. I take both of these very     seriously. To ensure that we have the ability to maintain our     infrastructure, defend our borders, educate our children, and more,     it is imperative that we keep our financial house in order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is critical that we carefully evaluate all spending proposals     that come before the U.S. Congress; we have to focus on investing     taxpayer dollars wisely.&amp;nbsp; In this time of economic crisis, I believe     it is especially important that Congress prioritize those measures     that will foster long-term economic growth. We must reinvest in our     education system, in our workers, in our nation's infrastructure and     in the development of clean energy technologies that will reduce our     dependence on foreign oil. By making these important investments     today and helping revitalize our economy, we can leave our children     with prosperity not debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee I will continue to     work with President Obama and with my colleagues to draft     legislation that strikes the right balance in how we collect and     spend federal tax dollars so we can leave more than debt to the next     generation.

Shall we just say unconstitutional and downright non-American?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many government departments were never needed and others have run their course and need to be repealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One prime example is the BATFE. This rogue department should have been repealed along with the repeal of the ban on alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other rogue departments are too numerous to mention them all but starts with the FDA, the DEA, the AMA, the USDA, Homeland Security and hundreds more departments and projects that are bleeding the people dry and inhibiting both personal freedom and entrepreneurship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop the dog and pony show over debt and just stop spending money. We the people know that after the smoke and mirrors show is over, we will be stuck with just more of the same and the cycle will continue as usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What worries me most about these political antics however is that after the dust settles, we find that we are stuck with yet another obnoxious and freedom destroying law that has gained us nothing but yet even more misery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you know where to chop some real serious money drain, stop asking for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you really think that the government needs more, consider

They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION” was removed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Social Security &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;He promised:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary; No longer voluntary &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their Annual Incomes into the Program; Now 7.65% on the first $90,000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year, No longer tax deductible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That the money the participants put into the independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and Spent &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Clinton &amp;amp; Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- And then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to "put away" -- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You may be interested in the following: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Trust Fund" and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democrat controlled House and Senate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: The Democrat Party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: The Democrat Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;AND MY FAVORITE: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments that the Democrat Party so generously gave to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turned around and told you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the worst part about it is that uninformed citizens believe it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's certainly worth a try. &lt;b&gt;How many people can YOU send this to?&lt;/b&gt; Actions speak louder than bumper stickers &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Õ¿Õ- &lt;br /&gt;No private person has a right to complain by suit in court on the ground of &lt;br /&gt;a breach of the United States constitution; for, though the constitution is a contract, he is not a party to it &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who win the wars write the books of history.

The material is being generated faster than a team of writers can hardly keep up with and actually has more intrigue and clandestine drama than the best of the mystery writers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless we lose our first amendment rights before we can change out the current clan of Washington mobsters, we will have loads of entertainment from the books and movies for a good long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To list all of the clandestine and sinister plots going on at the present would take me weeks to ferret out and list, but here is a new twist on the gun runner scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have said before, the purpose of the government selling guns to the drug cartels and helping them get them over the border was to give the administration some ammo in order to tighten up on gun control or even abolish them in time. Not to try and arrest members of the drug cartel for purchasing and using these guns. How stupid is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However when you sit back and take another look and try to understand why practically all members of government including the FBI, Drug enforcement, ATF and most members of Congress, the administration and the justice department are mostly all stonewalling the investigation of this, it becomes more and more clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money and power; the world’s drug trade measures in the billions if not maybe even trillions of dollars. Ever wonder why we have had this war on drugs for so long and it only seems to get worse over time? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is simply the fact that those who profit from drugs do not want the drug supply to dry up and those who profit from drugs are not just only the cartels, growers and street dealers. No the war on drugs are making many rich and just who are these guys who are in the position of receiving out right bribes or those who receive money and favors from lobbyist’s?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the justice department is not actively doing anything about the problem, then you might rightly guess that the folks who are complicit with this goes very high up the command chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m convinced that if the US and Mexico were really wanting to team up and stop the supply of drugs, the job would have been finished long ago or at least much more successful than it has been so far. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the amount of corruption that we are aware of these two countries, it is easy to see that the war on drugs is just a ruse that we the people are supposed to swallow. After all if we had this big of a drug problem and there was no apparent action on the part of government, we would all be very suspicious, wouldn’t we?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4940861048000394965?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4940861048000394965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/drugs-guns-cartels-and-government.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4940861048000394965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4940861048000394965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/drugs-guns-cartels-and-government.html' title='Drugs, guns, cartels and government corruption'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-7857552309810787822</id><published>2011-07-19T19:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T19:19:22.919-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Constitutional Law</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;CONSTITUTIONAL LAW&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a citizen of the United Stated of America, I hereby agree to abide by any and all State or Federal laws that are Constitutional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I further agree and affirm that I have the right and obligation as a citizen, to challenge any law that is deemed;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unconstitutional,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made specifically to accommodate special interest,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would be deemed unreasonable or outdated by the common and prudent citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

In this unbelievable blockbuster, pundits and elected officials try to convince Americans that raising the debt ceiling, (i.e. spending more money), will somehow free America from crushing debt. But the biggest fiction in the story is the amount of debt being reported. But the most outrageous fiction in the story is the sum of the debt. The politicians and media continue to report that America is $14 Trillion in debt. That my friends is an outright LIE. The U.S. Government is actually a total of $127 Trillion in debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for the DC scriptwriters, the days of "fool the voter" are OVER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here are the FACTS: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America and her finances are in desperate trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Current Federal Deficit &amp;amp;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $354 million per day - The amount every single day the Federal government is now over-spending, (not including &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Social Security &amp;amp;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $1 Million every 46 seconds - The rate at which the National Debt, (interest + additional deficit spending, but not including unfunded mandates is growing as of April 2011)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $4.6 Trillion - Total value of all small business assets - barely enough to cover all 2011 spending&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $13.8 Trillion - Total value of all U.S. corporate assets - not enough to pay off the National Debt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Taxing Everyone won't Fix It...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

That would mean that 2 out of every 3 people that you personally know is outraged by the verdict of not guilty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I happen to live in an area where I am surrounded by liberals, not necessarily the arm band progressive types,&amp;nbsp; and all of them, that I know, are just simply sick and tired of this story, as much as I am, and would like to go on to more important things in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that the media is the progressive’s promoter of socialism and the “New World Order” and we also know that no crises will go to waste by them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also know that tragedies are often followed by knee jerk reaction and the following passage of yet another law. And we know that the people will always be moved by emotion and the “if it will just save one child it will be worth it mindset” and the (it) being yet another twist in the hangman’s knot of freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was this a sad event? Yes it was a tragedy and 12 jurors labored over days worth of testimony and they followed the law to the conclusion that they felt that they had to come up with, and that is how justice should be dealt with in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media ownership&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should we get caught up in the media spin and let them wield their verdict?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would be the worst tragedy of all and it directly undermines not only our constitutional rights but it also speaks volumes about how the media has changed its very important role in our society from being an investigating organization and the impartial bearer of news, good or bad, to a runaway organization owned lock stock and barrel by the Council on Foreign relations which is the international banking community, since the 1917 media buyout. The media’s sole new purpose now is primarily to filter the news and spin it in favor of the progressive movement and to cover their nefarious deeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill O’Reilly writes and expounds on his show that this was a terrible tragedy, and yes it was for certain, and he further laments that we should pass new laws that might prevent this from ever happening again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill O’Reilly is an idiot if he thinks that you can prevent tragedies by passing laws. If that were the case, America would be now the safest and most prosperous country in the universe because we have more laws than anyone in the entire world. In fact we have so many laws, “Protecting us from every imaginable tragedy and ourselves” that we are now living in a total paradise where everyone gets free food, free drugs, free medical care and free everything else and working for a living is now just a relic of the past because after all big government now provides for everything. Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well maybe, for some, until however they run out of other people’s money. You know those lousy stinking rich folks who aren’t sharing enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boiling a frog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm certainly hoping that folks are smarter than to allow state or federal lawmakers to knee jerk this tragedy into our daily lives. Imagine the sheer number of 911 phone calls per day if this becomes law and you are required by law to pick up the phone and dial should you have not seen your child for the past 15 minutes or what ever time factor they deem appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have come to the realization that all of these ridiculous laws that get passed by our lawmakers to our constant amazement are primarily geared to slowly adjust us into getting used to the notion of having more outrageous laws and regulations. After all it is necessary for our own well being ain't it? It is the slow but relentless indoctrination of a once free nation into socialism and oligarchy by the slow and insidious method of boiling a frog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once they have nearly every aspect of your life regulated, and they nearly have now, they will simply take the constitution down from its display, one day and ceremoniously burn it. Probably on the same day that we get to watch the coronation ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Light at the end of the tunnel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that a lot of Americans are starting to wake up, although very few know what to do. I guess for now, the best thing to do, is to pass along any information that may act to enlighten others so that we can all pull together and put an abrupt stop to this nonsense.

We do not want more taxes. We do not want more government. We do not want more laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact what the average American, and I'm not talking about those who are on the government dole and welfare, wants is less taxes, less government, less government spending and debt, fewer laws and for government to get the hell out of our hair so that we can get back to making a living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government is the biggest obstacle to America becoming prosperous again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half of America has now figured it out that the international bankers are working to destroy our economy, and the country along with it, in order to create a "One World Bank" and create the "New World Order" (One World Government).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you should fail to heed the wishes of the American people and fail to try and help stop this insanity, where will you hide when the other half finally catches on? And they will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These may seem to you to be strong words, but these are the words of a very concerned and angry citizen and I do not stand alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are very trying and dangerous times and we need to know, that our duly elected officials who have and are sworn to obey, uphold and protect the constitution are indeed doing just that. Where do you stand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And looking at things from this side, it is quite obvious that most elected politicians have repeatedly broken their sworn oaths of office and have little or no regard for our nation’s laws, namely our constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I plead for you to not be one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also plead for you to get into action and stop the assault from these foreign bankers and restore common sense to American government and to restore our constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please spare me from yet another pre-canned form letter on how you have fought so hard to find employment for the vets or insured that the toddlers have enough milk at school.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-9171507726713305843?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/9171507726713305843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/letter-to-our-leaders.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/9171507726713305843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/9171507726713305843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/letter-to-our-leaders.html' title='Letter to our leaders'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-6020207253151705653</id><published>2011-07-10T17:46:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-10T18:35:40.278-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Last Sitting President</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dvdPAOqG7x4?version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dvdPAOqG7x4?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Manning has the same fear that I have expressed a number of times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem as though folks are waking up in mass, and I truly hope that they are, and are discovering just how bad things are and are planning to go to the election polls to create a tsunami tidal wave this next election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I fear greatly that the international bankers and the Washington Mafia will pull out all the stops and will resort to anything to keep Obama in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can thank our lucky stars that Obama has not quite yet stolen our guns and that he has not yet raised his army of brown shirts, that he has told us that he intends to raise, but you better believe that his cronies are working on it full time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has already raised massive amounts of cash for his reelection and is expected to exceed a billion dollars. How much more money and influence the international banking community and his other cronies will raise beside that massive amount of campaign cash is unimaginable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing for sure, you can expect voter fraud to run rampant this next election and you can better well believe that the old, or should I say new old, Black Panther Movement will be there at the polls just hanging out for Barry's best interests again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acorn will be there as well however they will be disguised with a myriad of shiny new names for their illicit organizations for the purpose of stream lining the voting process as Obama has promised us already in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one here in Washington state has come forward yet and explained just how they are going to prevent the Washington state ballets from being fraudulently changed by someone who has a pencil in their hand and access to them. This ballet was either intentionally designed for the intentions of perpetrating voter fraud or it was designed by the biggest idiot to ever grace our legislature and I also strongly feel that it has handily been used for that purpose already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you really think that you can take another fifty years of Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would amount to the same thing as convicting every US citizen, except the elite bankers and politicians, and sentencing them all to life imprisonment.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether we like it or not, we are going to witness the biggest and most important event of our American history in the next year and it is going to be plenty interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdPAOqG7x4&amp;feature=related&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep that powder dry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-6020207253151705653?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/6020207253151705653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/last-sitting-president.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6020207253151705653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/6020207253151705653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/last-sitting-president.html' title='The Last Sitting President'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4628798063364213918</id><published>2011-07-09T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T15:25:13.969-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Educating the general voting public</title><content type='html'>Educating the general voting public&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gayle and I get together with some friends on a regular basis; have had a good number of conversations about how bad things are in Washington and yes they now know that Obama is a very bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, after all of the discussions that we have had with them, they just made an incorrect statement that shows me that educating the folks, that unfortunately have had too much of the progressive koolaid thrown at them, can be a daunting job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is totally understandable as most of us do not like getting involved with politics and have since the inception of our freedom, trusted the elected officials to look out for our welfare as they were elected and sworn to do. Also most of us are way too busy with making a living to keep ourselves properly informed and the politicians have gone out of their way to keep all government transactions mind numbingly difficult to follow by using legalese jargon to write the bills. How many folks really understand the contracts that they have signed? And why is legalese even necessary in any of our activities?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our friends statement was something like this; “I know that Obama is not good for our country but I don’t trust the republicans because they are going to cut my Social Security and Medicare benefits. I think that I will vote for a democrat”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course we know that the ridicules idea of cutting SS and Medicare is just democrat fear mongering and an outright vicious and cunning lie, but most folks don’t know it because the media supports the democrats/republican progressive movement which is nothing more than the international banker sanctioned Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very good example of why it is imperative to keep up the efforts of educating the larger voting public. The progressives have spent years at indoctrinating all of us and our children and it can’t be undone overnight. But undone it must. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the citizens of this country are not yet aware that the media is totally owned and controlled by the international banking community and that their agenda is to divide and conquer the voting public by any dubious and devious means at hand. This is why they keep bringing up the completely unsolvable debate over abortion, smoke and mirrors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most citizens are not aware that nearly all media is used by these nefarious rascals to entertain and deceive the American public into convincing them that things are not what they seem and to convince them to distrust those that would favor and support freedom..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media brings us filtered news that has been spun by those in control to prevent the public from learning the truth that they are actively manipulating Congress to legislate away our freedoms, destroy our Constitution and to bring about the “New World Order” and the “The One World International Banking System” by purposely destroying our economy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4628798063364213918?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4628798063364213918/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/educating-general-voting-public.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4628798063364213918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4628798063364213918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/educating-general-voting-public.html' title='Educating the general voting public'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-1025487138692628706</id><published>2011-07-07T15:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T15:52:56.079-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ATF firearms used in Border Patrolman murder</title><content type='html'>What possible good can come by the resignation of ATF department head Kenneth Melson over the fast and furious gun runner fiasco? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as Obama is in office, replacing department heads will simply be a dog and pony event and government tyranny will continue to thrive. This has also been the case with other past presidents as well because throwing department heads under the bus usually take the heat off of the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be plain by now, however, that the ATF has no legitimate or good reason for its existence, “after all prohibition was repealed years ago”, but is a very useful tool to keep around in case some despot needs another police agency to carry out some dirty work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be pointed out that the ATF is being used today primarily, as a tool by the Obama administration, for the treasonous task of usurping the 2nd amendment. I have long since lost count as to how many reasons that there are to either impeach Obama or better yet arrest him for treason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to those patriotic officers in the ATF who still believe in the USA and the Constitution that they saw fit to blow the whistle on the treasonous shenanigans perpetrated by the white house and the department of justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Obama and Holder were trying to do was to have the media somehow discover that firearms that had been purchased in Texas by some bad boys found their way into the hands of Mexican drug cartels and criminally used against the US border patrol and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newspaper headlines were supposed to have read something like this;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;b&gt;Texas Guns used by Mexican Drug Cartel&lt;/b&gt;” Followed by;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thousands of firearms sold by Texas gun dealers are falling into the hands of Mexican drug cartel and being used against border patrols and to kill innocent people”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead the newspapers should now read;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;b&gt;ATF firearms used in Border Patrolman murder&lt;/b&gt;” Followed by;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Firearms supplied by the ATF, used by Mexican drug cartel in the murder of border patrol officer”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the whole story by &lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/gunrunnerprobe-doj-charlesgrassley-darrylissa/2011/07/06/id/402689?s=al&amp;amp;promo_code=C914-1"&gt;Martin Gould and Abigail Walls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/gunrunnerprobe-doj-charlesgrassley-darrylissa/2011/07/06/id/402689?s=al&amp;amp;promo_code=C914-1&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1025487138692628706?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1025487138692628706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/atf-firearms-used-in-border-patrolman.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1025487138692628706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1025487138692628706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/07/atf-firearms-used-in-border-patrolman.html' title='ATF firearms used in Border Patrolman murder'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-2970204087926570994</id><published>2011-07-07T15:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T15:50:23.155-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Forged Documents</title><content type='html'>The Washington Mafia has a very broad influence as we all know and apparently it also has control over the publishing industry as well as is demonstrated by the the recalling of Jerome Corsi's book "Where's the Birth Certificate?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's arrogance and his sloppy attempt to forge his US birth certificate should be his downfall and lead to his impeachment or his arrest but apparently the Washington Mafia has a lot of influence over much of Congress as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest question of the day still remains;

Click here to donate&lt;br /&gt;In what is becoming a trend, another big government establishment Republican has signaled that we can expect Congressional Republican leadership to blow over like a house of cards when it comes to the debt ceiling now standing at 14.3 trillion dollars. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was first to signal the impending fold and now Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that Republican Senators would accept a "mini" deal on the debt ceiling. It should come as no surprise when establishment Republicans once again stab the Tea Party Movement in the back.  We did not give them power so they continue the culture of corruption by voting to raise the debt ceiling in return for insignificant cuts. These self serving imposters will not address the underlying spending problem because they don't really believe in limited government.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The important question is what do we do about it? We must keep the pressure on by continuing to use phone calls, faxes, letters, and emails, but politicians controlled by lobbying interests are signaling that they will ignore continue to ignore our voice.  They have even ignored the ads we have run in their home states. In their arrogance, they believe that real Americans are just too stupid to understand the complexity of the situation. Only through this arrogance can they rationalize the institutionalized corruption that THEY have created.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By using a tactic of fear, they try to scare us into believing that failing to increase the debt ceiling will immediately bring about the end of the world (almost literally). In the Obama playbook, Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky exposes that the threat of the tactic (fear mongering) is always scarier than the tactic itself. We are sick and tired of corrupt fear tactics! The American people are strong, resilient, and innovative. In the face of adversity the United States of America, by the will of the people, will rise to the challenge once again!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If this President and Congress will not address the insanity of current government spending, WE WILL!!&lt;br /&gt;Our message is simple: DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This will be the defining moment in many establishment careers. We will not negotiate with any big government sellouts, whether it’s a Republican like Mitch McConnell or a Democrat like Ben Nelson when they come up for reelection we will defeat them!  Let us ame this clear we will defeat ANY Republican who sells out on the debt ceiling in their next Primary election!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the grassroots support we receive from great Patriots like you, we are not beholden to the big money donors behind weak establishment politicians. Our promise to all the great Americans who support and contribute to this organization is this: We will always err on the side of principle!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Please make a down payment on the future defeat of these corrupt sellouts by making a generous contribution&lt;br /&gt;---HERE---&lt;br /&gt;

Of course Kenneth Melson is the fall guy but he will be replaced by one who is even more inclined to oppose citizen owned firearms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it would seem that only the lowly citizen who toils daily to pay for our government system is the only one who has to worry about the consequences of “obstruction of justice”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the law “obstruction of justice” applied evenly to all citizens including those in Congress, the Justice Department, the White House and the media, most everyone from the POTUS himself down to the janitor in the news room would be in jail for this crime alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the shit finally hits the fan, will Obama, Pelosi, Reid, holder and a host of other notorious scallywags get their just due or will they be the ones to jump onto the immunity bus to escape prosecution?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-3600844138051620323?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/3600844138051620323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/obstruction-of-justice.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/3600844138051620323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/3600844138051620323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/obstruction-of-justice.html' title='Obstruction Of Justice'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8569265922945064016</id><published>2011-06-24T15:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-24T15:39:08.989-07:00</updated><title type='text'>We're going to need a bigger cage</title><content type='html'>The POTUS thought that his shiny and newly minted birth certificate would be an end to the problem. They even managed to buy off Fox News and Bill O'Rielly, however they should have done a much better job at &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=314601"&gt;printing up a fake&lt;/a&gt;. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=314601&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fact is though that the president has committed many crimes that would or should have put him in prison and get him impeached many times over but the fake birth certificate should make it a slam dunk, providing that someone will admit that they know that it is fake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What really is bothersome and tragic is that so many know these things but are afraid to speak out because the first one always gets the bullet, so to speak and no one wants to be first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fact number two is that the president couldn't have pulled this off by himself and needed plenty of help. These folks will be discovered, sooner or later if not already and when the shit hits the fan we will need to build a bigger prison to fit them all in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting with the White House and Congress, working our way through Obama's cabinet and scouring the main stream complicit media will be a momentous undertaking and as you can see it will take some doing to get it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that most everyone knows that the president is a fraud and needs to be removed from office before he destroys the country, but given how involved that the media and Congress is and are up to their ears in the farce, makes it problematic because you need Congress as the instrument to investigate both the White House and Congress. Then to top it all off, you also need the media to cover how the media was completely complicate in the farce from the very beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would seem that the remaining question is; who is going to take on the Herculean job of cleaning up this mess?&lt;br /&gt;Will we have to give Congress an amnesty to get them to clean up the white house and the justice department?&lt;br /&gt;When the top law officers in the nation all become criminal, who gets to arrest them?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-8569265922945064016?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/8569265922945064016/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/were-going-to-need-bigger-cage.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8569265922945064016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/8569265922945064016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/were-going-to-need-bigger-cage.html' title='We&apos;re going to need a bigger cage'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-7098934648052092318</id><published>2011-06-11T11:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-11T11:23:05.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>At What Point will you say No More?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h74bimK9d5s/TfOya6608HI/AAAAAAAAABg/AryxUIaPlQg/s1600/C4LbillboardBelAircrop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

And if you lie about anything at all, you are labeled as one who will lie about anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps if we didn’t have such an archaic view of sex in this country, we wouldn’t have to worry about our politicians being compromised from their sexual antics. However this is something that would probably take hundreds of generations for any society to overcome and no matter how bad liberals or any other factions would like to see that happen, it will be some time yet before it does happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s too damn bad that the folks in this country, who do get indignant, can’t get worked up to the same fever pitch however, when someone either trashes or dodges our constitution, as they do when someone steps out of their matrimonial traces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the media spent the same amount of time following or hammering the BATFE gunrunner scandal as they have of entertaining us with the Anthony Weiner scandal or the murder trial of Casey Anthony for killing her daughter Caylee, there would no longer be a BATFE around to intimidate and abuse the general public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However when you really stop to think about it, it may not be the public’s fault as much as it is the media’s purposeful and devious intention of  drawing attention away from the reprehensible and out of control federal department that should have been disbanded the very day that prohibition was repealed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The BATFE is a rogue department that is anti gun, anti freedom and anti American and it is high time for it to go as it serves no useful purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Department needs to be disbanded before it does another high five over a bullet ridden body that it just gunned down in a hail of bullets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something is seriously wrong when a police department is allowed to do its duties wearing ninja masks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your powder dry and keep a lookout for ninjas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Finally  someone actually spoke the word freedom</title><content type='html'>Yesterday I made the comment about the lack of the F word, the seven letter one not the four letter one, in all or most of the presidential hopeful’s speeches as if the word freedom was some kind of a dirty word these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I was watching the news as yet another new hat was being thrown in the ring and as I ate my breakfast I expected nothing new and was braced for just another round of Rah, Rah we need jobs, Rah, Rah we need a balanced budget etc, etc, drivel, drivel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when Senator Santorum started his speech he did by saying that yes it was the economy, that yes it was the price of gas, that yes it was about jobs, etc but he led it up to the crescendo and then he actually said the F word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Santorum made his opening speech on his entrance into the presidential bid and he actually centered it on the F word “Freedom”. At this point I froze in my tracks and shouted YES! Well I did wake the cat up; I’m not sure about the neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us pray however that he is for real and that he is the real deal. Let us also pray that if he turns out for real, that the nation will come to know it and furthermore demand it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This nation deserves a real freedom loving president again and it deserves a Congress full of Freedom loving Representatives and Senators. Vote the phonies out of office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This nation deserved the freedom that it once had because Americans fought for it and paid the price in blood but we are now paying for our apathy. Soon freedom will be but a distant memory for some of us and others will never know it unless we take quick action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, if we act soon, today’s present crop of citizens will manage to gain another chance at trying to keep its freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were warned by our forefathers that if we grew lax in guarding our freedom that it would be taken from us, and I hope that by now we have learned our lesson well, and well before it is too late to recover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes let us hope that Rick Santorum is the real deal and can regain our freedom in a peaceful manner. Only time will tell, if he is, and we have so little of it to spare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us all hope that we will never have to pick up the musket in order to remain free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Keep your powder dry and don’t vote for someone unless they do use the F word with genuine passion and conviction.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-2351831360321544675?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/2351831360321544675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/finnaly-someone-actually-spoke-word.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2351831360321544675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/2351831360321544675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/06/finnaly-someone-actually-spoke-word.html' title='Finally  someone actually spoke the word freedom'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-1407500388118930562</id><published>2011-05-29T13:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T13:33:16.997-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The End of the Romerican Empire</title><content type='html'>The End of the Romerican Empire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Roman Empire lasted for over 1,000 years or more; The American Empire will be lucky to last a fraction of that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The war on drugs drains $40 billion a year from the U.S. treasury. It has destroyed financial privacy, eroded civil liberties, swelled prison populations, made law-abiding Americans into criminals, failed to reduce drug use, and ruined more lives than drugs themselves. The war on drugs should be shut down”. Laurence M. Vance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything in Washington is based on money and “The War on Drugs” reigns king and given the high propensity for public officials to succumb to greed, the corruption surrounding drugs grows widespread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been estimated that the banking system has profited well over 80 billion dollars and is well on its way to making the 100 billion mark, in the very near future, by laundering drug money. Is it no damned wonder that we are still fighting this ridiculous war that is destroying our nation and Mexico as well? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“According to economist Robert Higgs, true U.S. defense spending is over $1 trillion dollars a year. The United States spends more on defense than the rest of the world combined. We subsidize the defense of Europe, Japan, and South Korea. We have over 1,000 foreign military bases and station troops in over 150 countries. Much of what passes for defense spending has no recognizable connection to U.S. security. Since maintaining a strong national defense has nothing to do with maintaining a strong offense in every corner of the globe, the U.S. Empire should be shut down”. Laurence M. Vance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently the gigantic profiteering on the drug wars is not enough and we are scattered to every corner of the earth trying to turn non democratic countries into democratic countries while at the same time we are destroying our very own republic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with either of these wars, that are so profitable to the entrenched leaders and the puppeteers behind the curtain, is that it cost the citizens so dearly. So it would seem that the war on drugs and the rest of the other wars on the planet are really a war on the American citizen as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have finally gotten Bin Laden after nearly 10 years and now it is time to bring home the troops and to start rebuilding our own republic back into the empire that it once was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we continue down the road laid out by our administration and we don not get a handle on the corruption in government, we will surely slip away into past and forgotten history as the greatest empire of free people that ever existed who, out of apathy, chose to toss it all away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your powder dry and stock that larder, hell is marching our way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1407500388118930562?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1407500388118930562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/end-of-romerican-empire.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1407500388118930562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1407500388118930562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/end-of-romerican-empire.html' title='The End of the Romerican Empire'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-7691662216423538592</id><published>2011-05-28T15:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-28T15:24:22.459-07:00</updated><title type='text'>how our government really works</title><content type='html'>I think that I have a much simpler way of explaining how our government really works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most pundits like to get into the details and the complexities of the inner workings of Congress and politics and it can get very daunting to try and keep up with. It is these very same complexities and specialized terminologies that cover up that which most of us would otherwise classify as criminal behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although our members of Congress are still chosen by way of the election process, a good majority of them have been inducted by some means or another into a not quite secret club house very much like the famed Chicago Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems incredulous to see such words in print and many will be shocked or even repulsed by the notion that a Senator or Representative could stoop to such a low, however it makes complete sense and to try and explain the workings of our political process any other way is an impossible task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress pretty much has only one goal and that is to ensure reelection and they have the nation’s resources at their disposal to accomplish this single task. In fact Congress has pretty much used their lawmaking processes to their very own advantage to retain their seats in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The results of years of self interests in Congress has culminated in Gerrymandering districts,  purchasing votes with tax dollars, making campaign promises that they have no intention of keeping and a myriad of other nefarious activities including but not limited to receiving campaign funds or should we say being bought off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us have the misguided, sugar and plumbs, vision of Congress making various laws that are necessary to keep us safe and our country somehow running. However when it comes right down to it, Congress does not make laws, special interests and corporations usually do for their own vested interest and they then send in the, ugh shudder puke, lobbyists to sell the package to the members of Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the members of Congress may have no interest in these special interest or corporate backed or written laws, but they do have other interests and they do have a need for money in the form of campaign funds and special favors. This is where it gets complex and so hard to follow the money trail but the concept is still simple, Congress is for hire to the highest bidder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can not have a Congress that is for hire and still retain any form of freedom in a country because sooner or later it will trash the very concept of freedom in return for monetary or political gains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this very moment Congress is being shoved by the White House and special interests into blatantly trashing the Constitution for their own personal gains and they have the audacity to tell us that it is for our own good because after all, freedom was never ours in the first place and the wealthy got it on the backs of the poor and downtrodden.&lt;br /&gt;This is assuming, of course, that greed or lust for political power is the only factor in the equation. What if we suddenly find ourselves with someone in the White House who thinks that America is not such a great nation and needs to be changed in order to better conform itself to fit in with the rest of the world, especially the Middle East?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the man in the White House thinks that the Constitution is simply a bad piece of paper that restricts all of the good deeds that a sitting president would want to impose on the population, for their own good of course?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the man in the White House decides to hurry along his envisioned inevitable demise of the dollar so that we can implement a new world banking system to replace the old and broken Federal Reserve?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would happen if we somehow got duped into electing a president that held America in disdain and wanted to punish all America by destroying both its economy and the people’s freedoms?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if outside banking interests have seen and are using a golden opportunity to gain both vast fortunes and complete control over a country, if not a good share of the world, by setting up a president more than willing to be a puppet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if these bankers have already bought and have complete control over the main stream media?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if these same international bankers are the head of the biggest mafia ever envisioned in the world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, getting a handle on the problem is not that difficult. However finding a solution to the problem is yet another thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They already have a good share of the money in the world and that makes them very difficult to fight as they can certainly buy off politicians faster than you can vet them and they can sway what ever powers needed. Having that much money and being international citizens makes these guys virtually untouchable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If America is to survive as a free nation, the 2012 election had better look like a magnitude 10 earthquake in Washington and the freedom loving citizens, of this country, had better be prepared to follow in the footsteps of their forefathers at Valley Forge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is up to us to preserve freedom; neither the government nor Congress will act in our behalf because they are already acting in behalf of the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have proven this many times over, by their shenanigans, and the fact that they approved of extending the so called “Patriot Act” is in itself alone proof that we are of no consequence to them. Keep your powder dry and store up some grub. It’s a coming.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-7691662216423538592?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/7691662216423538592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-our-government-really-works.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7691662216423538592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/7691662216423538592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-our-government-really-works.html' title='how our government really works'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4371486056807664571</id><published>2011-05-28T15:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-28T15:20:31.347-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Washington Mafia means business</title><content type='html'>Ten Million Dollars: That's how much establishment candidate Mitt Romney raised in one day a couple of weeks ago from well-heeled party bigwigs for his 2012 White House bid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a time where our very freedom is at stake and is about to expire from the shenanigans of our very own government, we need some good and courageous men to stand up and face the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that the problem at hand is the Washington Mafia and that the only solution is to wrest back the control of our country from this criminal organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our only non violent hope, of recovery and preservation of freedom, is to elect enough honest and courageous men to Congress and to the White House to overcome the criminal clutches of the powers at hand and to clean house and stop the downhill spiral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that you can count on for sure is that the Washington Mafia will try every deviant thing in the book and more to try to ensure that a member of the club will be running against Obama. We must not allow this to happen as it will only perpetuate the inevitable albeit somewhat a little slower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This coming election has several possible candidates that show promise of trying to turn things around and bring our country back to some sense. I do hope that we do wind up electing one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have written earlier, Newt Gingrich is a politician first and always and I can’t help but view him as one of the members of the Washington club and now that Newt has stumbled, the club has offered up Mitt Romney and funded him handsomely. And just to make certain that the playing field is loaded up with options we also have New York Mayer Giuliani in the running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see the Washington Mafia means business and I fear that both side of the aisle will work to trash the right people. I hope that the American public can see through and beyond this ruse and elect one of the courageous hopefuls who are not yet inducted into the Washington Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is never easy to tell who the right person for a job is because there is no penalty for lying as a candidate and you can not hold anyone’s feet to the fire and that is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously hope that we will have a chance to vote for someone like Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman, Herman Cain or some other non politico candidate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that you can count on, these candidates will be fielding fire from both sides and the shit will be flying high, fast and furious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your powder dry and stock up your larders.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4371486056807664571?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4371486056807664571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/washington-mafia-means-business.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4371486056807664571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4371486056807664571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/05/washington-mafia-means-business.html' title='Washington Mafia means business'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4502713669594816465</id><published>2011-05-01T15:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-01T15:49:56.757-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Laura Ingraham Show - Black Chamber of Commerce CEO blasts "Marxist," "brownshirt" Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

Should we wait until we hear our neighbors take up the battle cry or should we become activated and try to spread the word to our neighbors and/or try to correct it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The eight percent or so of the people, in this nation, who would vote for any one that would purposely destroy the constitution and the freedoms of the American people, need to not bother answer these questions.

We need to do this because those that are not aware of the dangers can not defend themselves or our country from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand when we try to inform other of the dangers, we are viewed as the enemy to the liberals and to their way of life because the misinformation appears to come from a trusted and authoritative source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the direct result of a long time plan of action, by our real enemy, to divide our country and conquer it from within. They have used racism, religion, abortion, and a host of other issues or should we say issues not pertaining to the real issues to cloud the thinking of those that would or could see things more clearly if not for all the smoke and mirrors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one time, I considered myself as a liberal and I still do to a large degree. I believe that I have many things in common with real liberals and one of those things is liberty that I cherish so much and which my dad and so many of my/our forefathers gave their lives to protect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not agree with any of the current wars that we are involved in and I think that the last war in which we fought that was necessary to protect our way of life, was WW2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that the so called “war on drugs” is also ridicules and it only serves to make the overly rich even richer and more powerful, it makes bureaucracies larger and largely blurs the lines between “justice” and organized crime on all levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that liberals would mostly agree with most or at least much of that and many more things that I believe in like; keeping church and state separate, keep the church or state out of our bedrooms and our lives in general, practice the golden rule, protect the environment from greedy corporations, have sound principles that allow harmony with your neighbors and others and a general desire to live ones life in freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a liberal at heart, I find it real difficult to understand how many of those that considers themselves liberals are so inline with factions that seeks to destroy their very liberties. Is that not an oxymoron? Is it merrily the fear of losing the things promised by the government that they perceive will evaporate if the right should win out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been said that only 8% of the population are extreme progressives desiring to overthrow our country.

The President does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 555 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but PRIVATE, central bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority.   They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those 555 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault.   They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.....   The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want.  If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 555 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 555 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 555 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Army &amp;amp; Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan …&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no insoluble government problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not let these 555 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those 555 people, and they  alone, are responsible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They, and they alone, have the power..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-5902095426799780374?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/5902095426799780374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/555-people-by-charlie-reese.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5902095426799780374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/5902095426799780374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/555-people-by-charlie-reese.html' title='555 PEOPLE--By Charlie Reese'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-4395129103573877492</id><published>2011-04-21T11:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-21T11:35:36.281-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two ways to fight tyranny</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Two ways to fight tyranny&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two ways to fight tyranny, bullets and votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voter fraud is spreading and becoming more obvious by the day. Although I have mentioned the built in opportunities for voter fraud in Washington state's ballot, on numerous occasions, no one has shown much concern about it yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has been hard at work to get Acorn, now known by many different aliases since the scandals, behind his plan to use his various organizations to control the national voting process. His words not mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news media has long been under the control of the international banking community and we see on a daily basis just how the news mafia is using it to deceive and outright lie to the population at large. I find it hard to believe that anyone would even read or turn today’s news on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following extracted paragraphs from Independents Women’s Voice and one from the Blaze is only two examples of the tens of thousands of unreported yet important bits of information that the people need to stay informed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In the midst of the Obama Administration's stunning lack of leadership in the uprisings in Egypt and Libya, the news that yet another federal judge ruled ObamaCare un-Constitutional seems to have gone largely unnoticed by the mainstream media over the last month.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Obama is considering issuing a new executive order which would mandate that all companies bidding on government contracts release details of campaign donations made by the company, its executives and board members. Is this government transparency or a way to decide how to reward or punish companies, based on which political party they support?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why I think it imperative to use the internet to the fullest and use &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chain Reaction Education&lt;/span&gt; to try and overwhelm the voting polls and the coming voter fraud this next election and why I spend so much of my valuable time working on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice is ours:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Freedom or no freedom.&lt;br /&gt;   Obama or Nobama?&lt;br /&gt;   A working Congress or the present Mafia Congress?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4395129103573877492?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4395129103573877492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/two-ways-to-fight-tyranny.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4395129103573877492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4395129103573877492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/two-ways-to-fight-tyranny.html' title='Two ways to fight tyranny'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-8961399075081415592</id><published>2011-04-18T11:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-18T11:27:36.039-07:00</updated><title type='text'>GOP's Trump Card</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="height: 390px;

Zombies will be hard to convert so we must first focus on the naïve and the apathetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably the best place to start the education process would be to go to a movie that is now showing in theaters near you, Atlas Shrugged by the late Ayn Rand. It is the first part of a three part series that, although a novel that was written over 50 years ago, portraits very accurately exactly what is happening to our country today. A must see movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The education would logically show how the bankers have taken over the news media, destroyed our monetary system by the creation of the privately and foreign owned Federal Reserve System and how the preplanned shenanigans by the FED was covered by the creation of the IRS. Why the FED was and still is the biggest Ponzi scheme ever perpetrated on a largely and unsuspecting and trusting population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further education should include how government has allowed corporations to use Congress for personal gains at the expense of the people’s property, money and freedoms by the use of corporate and military lobbyist and Congressional shenanigans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the system has used special interest groups such as the Sierra Club and a host of other well meaning organizations to be pawns in their quest for a “One World Order”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list goes on and on and includes why we are at war in the Middle East and why we shouldn’t be. Why we should be very wary of allowing Muslims to get a foothold in our country and why being politically correct is so un-American and so dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Chain reaction education&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the nucleus of an unstable atom such as plutonium is struck by a proton, it breaks up and sends off more protons. If the plutonium is dense enough that the newly formed protons can strike other atoms, a chain reaction occurs and all hell breaks loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly a message sent out to several other recipients who in turn send the message out to several more recipients can have the same effect and the chain reaction goes viral, so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of us who have complained about the “one man one vote thing virtually stands for practically nothing” rational, he/she should rethink about the power he/she holds by unleashing the chain reaction process. Your action alone can amount to countless further actions in your direct down line. The message must be imperative and concise and I hope that I have accomplished this and inspired you to such needed action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have seen it in action lately in the Middle East where one man in Egypt started the call for the end of tyranny by setting himself on fire. Now we have seen many other neighboring oppressed nations fighting for their freedoms or at least change from tyranny as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress is far too corrupt to straighten out Congress and international bankers have far too much money behind the nefarious agendas that they perpetrate on the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our voting process has been all but usurped and is largely controlled by various shenanigans such as gerrymandering districts and out right voter fraud. Such is the case in Washington State where the voting instructions on the ballet is set up to make voter fraud as easy as marking two lines on someone’s ballet in order to change the voter’s vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our last line of defense comes down to educating the ignorant, awakening the oblivious, resurrecting the lethargic and the apathetic by overwhelming them with the unadulterated and unvarnished truth. Yes there are those who will never succumb to the truth but if they are shown the dangers, they may be then compelled to reason when their feet, or the feet of their friends, are at last sinking into the quicksand or they find themselves shivering in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forces are hard at work and the end game is near at hand and they (the foreign bankers) will stop at nothing to gain what they deem is theirs or they so greedily want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those that would stoop to any low including destroying a country for profit are our enemies for sure and they care not for your safety, freedom or life and they have gained far too much ground already to attain their end game of “one world government/bank”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they have failed to take so far but are hard at work and close to taking, is our right to own firearms, our best methods of communication such as the internet, our privacy, a press free from out side control and our right to assembly. Perhaps we should put these rights and tools to good use before it is too late to act and while we still can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Trumping Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most difficult tasks for our countrymen is to select and elect good representatives and leaders that will uphold and abide by the laws of the land, namely our constitution and maintain the (our) American way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the main problems is our two party system and the fact that both parties are equally guilty of criminal corruption and treasonous actions. Both of these parties pander to the corrupt side of things and neither is willing to allow anyone to muck up the highly profitable shams that they have going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only candidates that are seriously considered for office by the parties are the true (Politicos) who are a part of the entrenched establishment and the reasons are quite obvious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ross Perott was the last third leg candidate who could have thrown the proverbial monkey wrench into the machinery of the Washington mafia and came close to winning the election. So close in fact the established parties made quick changes to the system to ensure that it would never happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question now comes down to; who do you trust enough to take the reins of the country and pull us out of the quagmire that we are in and would he/she have what it takes to beet Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most, if not all, of the possible candidates that have been around long enough to swing the votes to get elected have also been around long enough to have become corrupted by the system and I further suggest that if they have not, they will not be endorsed by the GOP for the reasons given above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given all of what we know so far, what and who would be the best course of action to take in order to get the nation into good hands again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Ron Paul as he is relentless in his pursuit to Audit the fed and for government to abide by the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Michelle Bachman because she is a lot like Ron Paul and seems to have the energy and drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pawlenty seems to be conservative but I don’t know much about him yet and I don’t know how much of a politico he really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huckaby, well, he is a nice guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donald Trump; I really like the way he says what is on his mind and doesn’t take shit from anybody. He has a handle on foreign affairs, on government corruption and business. He has a great track record of success and is not afraid to fire anyone who is not doing his job. His one draw back would be in getting the GOP stamp but if he could, he would be Obama’s worst nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can already hear the dissing now;&lt;br /&gt;    Trump went bankrupt several times. (Can you show me a successful businessman who hasn't?)&lt;br /&gt;    Trump is adulteress. (So let's stay the course with Obummer and go down in virtuous and glorious flames).&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;We have already heard these and more before from the folks in the White House and is a very good indicator that they are very nervous about Trump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I don't want to hear is all of the perceived goofy reasons of why we can't get Trump, Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman or who ever rises to the top elected. I would rather have a non politico elected to the office if I had my way but we will need to back whomever providing he/she is not as sinister as the present administration. We can not survive another 4 years of progressive Chicago style thuggery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us stop the bickering about abortion, who is going to rob the elderly of their care, take the candy from babies or what ever trivial dribble that the moronic left can dream up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to focus on just one thing now and that is getting the Washington/Chicago Mafia out of the White House so that we can later focus on re-establishing the Constitution to its original prominence and its rightful place in our society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Let's Trump Obamason&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-1302124564745670113?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/1302124564745670113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/education-is-key-to-freedom.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1302124564745670113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/1302124564745670113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/education-is-key-to-freedom.html' title='Education is the key to freedom'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974254630341407779.post-5934337559141237504</id><published>2011-04-08T12:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T12:30:25.477-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Have a happy shut down day</title><content type='html'>According to Harry Reid the Tea Party and the GOP will:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Force women to forgo cancer checkups.&lt;br /&gt;Women will have to have sex without the support of government help.&lt;br /&gt;Veterans will be kicked out to the street.&lt;br /&gt;The army will have to fight without bullets.&lt;br /&gt;Old people will starve and go without SS checks.&lt;br /&gt;And children will have to go without government lollipops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Harry Reid, all these things and much more will be on the heads of the Tea Party and the GOP because they are cold, callused and cunning racist greed mongers who hate all the nice things that government can provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to quote another speech-maker from the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What good fortune for governments that the people do not think.”&lt;br /&gt;- Adolf Hitler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is really hard to believe and accept that we are on the very brink of the largest world calamity that the world has seen since WW2 and Congress is acting as if money grew on trees. Oh wait it really does, it is called the FED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, the best thing that John Boehner could do is to stand firmly behind the line that he has drawn in the sand and let the government shut down. And when, and only when, Congress can finally come to some kind of agreement of a realistic budget that will regain our financial stability, then let it fire back up again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, unless at least one of the viable GOP candidates can get up the political courage to back up the wishes of the people, i.e. the Tea Party, the proposals of folks like Paul Ryan and Rand Paul, we the people are doomed to endure yet another term of Barrack H. Obama and our cherished country will probably not survive that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that Congress can get a handle on things before the powers at hand can implement a “Reichstag moment” of some making and place our country under martial law so that they can finally remove and trash the Constitution once and for all from our crushed and bruised country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ever growing number of people are becoming aware of the eminent dangers that our country faces, but yet far too many folks are still complacent and/or oblivious to the facts at hand let alone the facts that are not so obvious to some, but are so urgently alarming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that we can awaken the lethargic before the iron chains of the likes of Richard Cloward, Frances Fox Piven and Carl Marks descends upon us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that the likes of George Soros, Rockefeller, Rothschild and Bilderberger fail to claim the entire world, us included, as their own personal private property.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Just going through the motions</title><content type='html'>Just going through the motions while cruising on the Titanic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I watch Congress do business as usual, I keep getting this sinking feeling that I’m on the Titanic and I’m just going through the motions of my daily routine and trying to make a living. I know that Congress will still be doing business as usual as the lower decks flood with sea water and the stern raises high into the air just prior to breaking in half and making the final icy plunge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One hundred and eighty six republican’s voted to extend the dead line to shut down the runaway government and that tells us that there are 186 cowardly representatives in office. Well maybe they are not just cowards after all; maybe they also have a vested interest in keeping a bloated and corrupt government operating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Yes we are all just going through the motions, none of us has a clue as to what tomorrow may bring and none of us have a clue if we will be employed or in business tomorrow and like the Titanic, few of us will have a life boat to get into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Captain has given orders to sail full speed into the dark of night and head long into iceberg laden waters and has hung a do not disturb sign on his door. As long as our country is without leadership, there will be uncertainty and we will just remain, going through the motions, until we slip under the waves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When are we going to finally declare that our captain is not fit for service and remove him from his responsibilities before we all go down with the Titanic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back over the past several years should wake up even the most lethargic citizen and show us that something is terribly wrong in Washington. However those that have been sufficiently or thoroughly indoctrinated by our government based schools system and progressive riddled entertainment world, will cling to the credence that they are entitled and that the wealthy owes them a plush living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of us that are not so lethargic or completely indoctrinated, we need to let our representatives know that we are more than willing to let Congress shut down the federal government. In fact we insist that they do shut it down so that the populace can see for themselves that yes you can survive without government and that yes in fact life is actually much better that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that are dependent on social security, do not fear Social Security is a contract with the people and can not stop even if the government should shut down.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7974254630341407779-4305254394358683941?l=thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/feeds/4305254394358683941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-going-through-motions.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4305254394358683941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7974254630341407779/posts/default/4305254394358683941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thegreat4thofjulypitchforkparade.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-going-through-motions.html' title='Just going through the motions'/><author><name>Lyle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09941387293337775027</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYwoXV86AUk/SoSz9_9IC_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/ei-ExnhvEgE/S220/sam1224081418.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
