In New York City it was Brownsville , in Chicago it was Cabrini Green, and in Houston where I spent much of my childhood it was the San Filipe courts. These public housing projects, no matter where they were built, had much in common, mostly crime and hopelessness.

The San Filipe courts were a notorious public housing project that was built in 1942 by the Federal government to provide housing for the poor. As with much of what’s done to aid the needy, the results did not live up to the expectations. The place had a reputation of being a miserable squalid blight on the city. No one wanted to admit that they lived there. It was a place that rookie cops were told to avoid while it provided steady work for the city’s homicide detectives. It was pretty much considered by the local population to be one step up from Huntsville Prison, but with less oversight.

The misery of those who were trapped in the courts might have gone on to this day but for a change in policy. In the 1990’s the federal government decided that the monstrosities they had built in the 40’s and 50’s were just too much of an embarrassment and switched its efforts on behalf of the urban poor to the creation of the Section Eight housing program. The results are more or less the same just spread out over a larger area.

There is much to be learned from the failure of government housing. First, good intentions are not a replacement for sound judgment. Secondly if the tragic results that these government ghettos produced could go on for decades without remedy its fair to say that that they were more testaments to the ego of the builders than help for the needy.

Unfortunately the lessons were never learned by the invincibly ignorant in Washington D.C.

In that same spirit there is now a movement, under the banner of “sustainable development” to establish a means for government control over land use in the United States so encompassing that it will determine where we live, where we will be allowed to work, and where we can travel. The problem with so-called sustainable development is the same one that doomed the residents of the old housing projects, central planning motivated by the idea that there are some people who know better how the live the lives of others.

The latest round in the battle to scientifically husband the population of this country is a bill in the Senate sponsored by Connecticut ’s liberal Democratic senator Chris Dodd. S 1619 or the “Livable communities Act” would set in place the groundwork for a government stranglehold over land and water use that would be controlled by the federal government who in turn would give an account for its stewardship to the United Nations under an agreement called Agenda 21.

The agenda essentially herds the population of the United States into planned urban areas while denying human entry into huge expanses of the country. There would be places between humanity and the sacred wilderness where some human activity would be grudgingly allowed.

It should be said that no comfort can be taken from the departure of Senator Dodd. Those who are behind this power grab will find another cheap politician to front for them.

No president since Ronald Reagan has stood against this unconstitutional and unnatural power grab, and precious few in the Washington establishment understand its perils and are willing to stand against it.

If there is any hope to put an end to this monumental power grab it lies with an informed public who will demand that this affront to the constitution and the natural rights of a free people be stopped cold in its tracks. Maybe it would also be a good idea to remove anyone promoting this madness from government employment just as a precaution against future bad decisions.

I do not believe in ghosts in the sense of lost human souls trapped between this world and the next, but I believe I can hear the ghosts of the San Filipe courts. They are whispering, “Don’t do to your country what you did to us”

Scott Brown – young, vibrant, a “new” Republican.

New Republican same as the old Republican. McLame. Grahamnesty, Snow, Collins.

Why are we celebrating this “victory”? Another moderate elected to office that wants to work WITH the Democrats. I thought the American people wanted true conservatives that really believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.

If you are happy with the status quo then read no further. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get exactly what you want. No change. No freedom.

But if you want to reclaim our country then act now. The Charter of the Republican Party expands on the original Charter of 1856. It lays out the tenets with which those that wish to carry the (R) behind their name should agree with and uphold. It reinforces their oath to the Constitution and makes it clear what is expected of them. If you want real change get this Charter into the hands of every candidate and elected official that carries that (R). Let them know in black and white just exactly what is expected of them in exchange for your vote and your support.

Put it in their hands, their mail box, their email. Demand a response. Let’s see just how many are willing to truly represent the will of the people. See just how many will agree with the Charter.

Will your elected officials in Washington agree with it and walk the talk? Mine did and does.

It is simple. Just send them the link and tell them you want to know their position. It can’t be any easier.

The Charter of the Republican Party.

Obama is an abysmal failure. Most of us knew he was a fraud, a phony, a liar, and incapable of holding the office of POTUS long before the election. His calm a façade and his anger always just below the surface. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to see it in his eyes and his mannerisms. It was only a matter of time before it bubbled to the surface. Having been handed health care reform failure and his derriere on a platter his anger cannot be hidden.

The Dems have watched Obama throw one supporter after another under the bus for the past year and they know he is the death knell for their careers and their political party. They are abandoning him at a rabid pace in an effort to save their own butts. Too little, too late. They sided with Marxism and abandoned the principles of our Republic.

Now, that Obama is starting to realize he is a man-child standing alone, we will see the tyrannical tantrums of a failure who was deluded and delusional in thinking he was “The One”. He made the grievous error of trusting those that he thought were his minions. He made the mistake of one too many lies on everything he stated, everything he intended to do. He made the mistake of thinking the American people were stupid and too complacent to revolt against him. He was deluded by those behind the curtain into thinking he was greater than he was. He is the useful idiot. Now spent and all but used up.

The future will behold a great display when common thieves turn on one another. As the old adage states, “There is no honor among thieves”. And there is no honor to be retrieved by those in the Democrat party. For one must have it to begin with before one can retrieve it. The left will, in time, bash Obama harder than they ever bashed Bush. They will do this in a desperate attempt to not only remain in office, but to keep out of prison.

There was a time in the no so long ago past that they could have pulled it off, too. A time when the American people were complacent and disconnected with politics. But that time is gone. We are awake and have our eyes wide open. We are paying attention and responding. And we are intent on removing the would-be destroyers of our great Nation and serving them their much deserved justice.

Removal from office will not be enough to compensate for the crimes they have committed. They are not above the law and must face the consequences of their actions. Something the left seem to think doesn’t apply to them. They are oh so wrong. We must make examples of each and every one of them to prevent what has occurred to ever occur again. At least for many generations to come. For if we do not we will have failed our children and grandchildren. It is not enough to just kick them in the butt. We must send a strong message to those that wish to destroy all that our founding fathers fought for and all that we believe in. Those guilty individuals both in and out of public office must be tried for High Crimes and Treason. They must be made examples of. We will not allow the destruction of our country, our Constitution, our morality, our freedom by any individual, party, organization, or nation. We are Americans and we will defend all that we hold dear.

I am a “Native American”. The dictionary describes “native” as ‘indigenous, born in and of the region’ and “American” as ‘from America’. I am a Native American and I love my country. While I am proud of my Black Foot and Celtic ancestry, I love America. I love everything about America, with the exception of the Marxists, Watermelon Communists (Green on the outside, red on the inside) and Islamofascists who are conspiring to destroy my home and the country I love.

America is unique among all of the countries in the world. America’s government does not grant rights to its citizens. Our rights are divine rights, God given and our government cannot infringe upon those rights. When issued, the Declaration of Independence contained the phrase, “united States of America” rather than United States of America. Why? Because “united States of America” is a direct reflection of the states sovereignty, as the “States” “united” to declare their independence. This is a prime example of why I love America, the federal government receives its power from the people and the “united States” of America; The states do not receive their power or rights from the federal government. I love America.

America is the only country in the world where free speech is a God given right. The First Amendment of the Constitution does not grant me free speech, for God gave that right to me. The First Amendment prohibits the government from infringing upon that right. Irving Berlin wrote God Bless America, to describe his sentiment about America. Woody Guthrie wrote This Land Is Your Land as a protest song, an answer to God Bless America, in 1940. Guthrie felt that Berlin’s song was complacent and he didn’t want to have America blessed by God. Free speech gave him the ability to express himself. B. Hussein Obama had his friend in Marxism, The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, use the acoustic version of This Land Is Your Land, to close his fund raising concerts for Obama. This protest song, silently denouncing God and proclaiming, “This land is your land, this land is my land ” should have been a clue for all Americans, regarding Obama’s disdain for America and his Marxist philosophy of all things being equal.

I love America, Obama does not. Just like Orwell’s Animal Farm, Obama is of the mind that ‘all animals are created equal, some are just more equal than others’. I love America and I want it back.

The leftist/Marxist regime that is ‘fundamentally changing’ America, does not love America, does not love the Constitution, and has tremendous disdain for those that do. Their goal is to ingrain into American culture a paradigm shift from the united States of America to the United Socialist Workers Peoples Amerika. But, the ‘fundamental change’ will not stop there. The year 2050 looms large on the horizon. Why is that year significant? Because that is the year that the Muslim Brotherhood, the global Islamic terrorist group, has defined as the final year for the completion of conquering the west and fundamentally changing the west into a Sharia state. I love America and the ‘fundamental change’ needs to stop and be reversed.

When the Muslim Brotherhood held their highly touted meeting in Philadelphia, it was later found, through documents found during searches of participants homes, that they have a plan to implement Sharia in America.

The plan involves:

* Placing Islamic Jihadi’s in positions of power within the American military: Done and ongoing.

* Placing Islamic Jihadi’s in positions of power within the Pentagon and Congress: Done and ongoing.

* Teaching the tolerant, PC version of Islam in American schools. Done and ongoing.

* Convert America to a Socialist government, so that the people become accustomed to a statist government. Being done before our eyes.

* Get multiple Muslims elected to Congress: Done and ongoing.

* Place multiple Muslims in positions of power and influence on key Congressional committees, such as the Intelligence, Defense, Finance, and Foreign Relations. Done and ongoing.

* Elect a Muslim President: Done and ongoing.

* Conversion from one statist government (socialism) to another statist government (Sharia Law). In process.

The documents and transcripts of the secret Muslim Brotherhood meeting in Philadelphia have been fully disclosed by our government and by patriots loyal to America. However, the state run media, including the Communist News Network (CNN) and FOX have been seriously compromised by the infusion of Muslim Brotherhood money via the Saudi’s. The people that are trying to kill our troops, take over our country and enslave those who will not convert to Islam now own large blocks of the American news media. The Muslim Brotherhood, via the Saudi’s, now own 40% of FOX News, which explains their changes over past year, taking a softer stand on Islam, calling homicide bombers suicide bombers, and turning O’Reilly into an Islamic apologist. I love America and this must stop.

Do you love America? Do you love the Constitutional Republic I do, or do you love the Marxist/Islamic regime being created right before our eyes? If you love our Constitutional Republic and cherish the rich, hard fought history of our great nation, the lone beacon of freedom and hope in the world, what are you prepared to do to save your country? Silence is consent. Failure to act is tantamount to treason. Find your voice. Reach down inside and find your will. The silent majority can remain silent no more. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me and say it in all you do: I love America! I will not let Marxism and the statists take my rights and my income. I will not let Islam use the Constitution, our Constitution, to create a Caliphate, an Islamic state, governed by Sharia, in America. Stand with me. Stand tall. Do not flinch from criticism and do not let those who use political correctness to silence Americans get away with it. Your rights cannot be trumped by theirs. In America, all are equal. In Obama’s America, some are more equal than others and that must stop. I love America.

Whether this is all actually and factually true…the Principles they espouse ARE TRUE.
Enjoy.

JFK’S
Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when
DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaule said he wanted all US
military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?”

DeGuale
did not respond.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the
Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of
‘empire building’ by George Bush.

He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of
its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom
beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for
in return is enough to bury those that did not
return..”

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers
were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you
heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he
intend to do, bomb them?”

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are
nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to
shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to
feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand
gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a
dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and
from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?”

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S.., English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large
group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that
we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t
have to speak German.”

AND
THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

“You
have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked
sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France
previously.

“Then
you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”

“Impossible.
Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !”

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he
quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in
1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen
to show a passport to.”
