Less than a month has passed since the mid-term elections and the early signs emanating from Washington don't bode well for the future of our freedom. The ruling class is still firmly entrenched and is seemingly oblivious to the message sent by the people on November 2. Corrupted by power, the two parties comprising the ruling class apparently still differ only in "the rates at which they are willing to usurp additional power."
Yesterday, fifteen Republican senators joined every Democrat in voting for passage of S. 510, the "FDA Food Safety Modernization Act", described on these pages as a "power grab" of a bill that "reaches too far and too wide and embraces too much with a one-size-fits-all worldview." Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) said the bill:
"will grow the government, increase food prices, and drive small producers out of business without making our food any safer. America has the safest food supply in the world - and it has been getting safer - because the free market and consumers have held bad actors accountable. This bill destroys that balance and replaces common sense with the heavy hand of government."
On another front, yesterday eight Republican senators "broke with their leadership" and voted against a GOP-proposed mandatory ban on earmarks. The proposal was defeated by a 56-39 vote. Seven Democrats voted to ban these lawmaker-directed funds. Supposedly, this issue is likely to be revisited by the Senate in the new session in 2011 and "might even arise again during this lame-duck session during debate over pending spending bills." I'm not holding my breath, at least with respect to a different outcome. The GOP's voluntary earmark ban, while admirable, hardly merits any mention here as just days after it was announced Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) added a $200 million earmark "for an Indian tribe in his state into a bill designed to settle legal complaints against the Department of Agriculture by black farmers."
House whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) spent the latter part of the day on Tuesday backing away from reports that he favored preserving certain provisions of ObamaCare. The gist of his clarified position is he currently favors full repeal of ObamaCare and replacing it with a GOP alternative, one American Spectator describes as being "not very ambitious" and "not a true free market alternative." Last night, Cantor reportedly told a college audience
"We too don't want to accept any insurance company's denial of someone and coverage for that person because he or she might have a pre-existing condition."
Call it whatever you want, but what Rep. Cantor describes is not insurance in any traditional use of the word.
Lastly, commenting on Congressional leaders' meeting yesterday with President Obama regarding the Bush-era tax rates set to expire in January, Mark Levin said it well on his radio program last evening:
"...[the meeting] was a mistake and I'll tell you why...Is there compromise or negotiations over the EPA's efforts to impose "cap and trade" on this nation? [No.] Is there compromise or negotiation over the ObamaCare legislation going on today? No. How about over the progressive income tax, which is [straight] out of the Communist Manifesto? No, no discussion on that. How about the elimination of a single federal agency or department? No. [Instead] we're negotiating on tax increases...but what's to negotiate?...We have already allowed the statists to set the priorities. Why are we negotiating with a defeated president and a defeated party, defeated in a massive landslide, a historic election? Why of we negotiating on their terms on our issues...rather than on our terms?..."
The newly elected Senators and Representatives can't be seated soon enough. But whether it will make any meaningful difference remains to be seen.

Wow, that is pretty much the way I see it too. Ever since I have been here at FR there have been people who saw this coming. They were the ones who were ridiculed with pictures of tin foil hats and such.
I have believed it ever since the elder Bush declared the NWO in a speech. He didn’t just say it for no reason at all. The truth is that this global tyranny has been planned far longer than the Bush speech. [. . . for AT LEAST 166 years BY these suicidal satanist traitors]:

People are waking up to it. As they do they digest it and still believe they can vote it out in 2012.
The next President will not have any real power. They can talk tough but the rollerball will continue on behind whoever that is. That is because one person cannot stop it.
We as a people are behind in the battle to stop this because we expect one person to fix it.
Many have awakened, but it is too late for conventional fixes to a worldwide scheme.
ABSOLUTELY, INDEED.
Thankfully, God will have them in derision and worse. He is not surprised.
HE HAS many surprises in store for the evil doers. The OP of this thread gives a hint, I believe, of HIS plans.
Well if we are in the end of the age, which surely seems so. People will not wake up. They will be more and more deceived.
sadly I'm one of the guys that kept askin 'is it time yet ???' years ago, and was relentlessly poo-pooed by the statist type rin-o-p worshippers...
just one more election, one more vote and we'll regain the momentum...
whistlin in the dark aint just for kiddos these days...
hard reset is inevitable...everyday the chances of success are dwindle...
ole 'bulldog' Churchill was dead on saying its better to stand when there is a chance of survival, rather than wait to fight when the 'hope' is nil...
in the meantime, we stay small and wait for the awakening and the numbers to not be martyred...
"Thy Will be done" is most likely what our culture is seeing today...
Then how do you explain
God hearing Sampson’s “selfish” prayer when he was placed between the two columns?
Thank you for that Quix.
You know, thinking about what is happening now makes me think back to a day in my childhood (I do that often). I keep going back to a beautiful June day. I remember laying in the green grass looking up at the blue sky with a few puffy clouds. The flowers were all colorful, bees buzzing, birds getting worms from the ground as I sucked dirt off of rocks(don’t know why I did that) and thinking how wonderful all of this was. You see, I noticed, I was aware.
If we can no longer smell the roses or wake up and actually smell the coffee, or marvel at the colors in the rainbow, it isn’t hard to figure how we are too blind to see.
We have been conditioned to become sheep to the slaughter. Too many are looking to the traitors for hope, but that isn’t what they are going to get.

INDEED.
THANKS.
Exactly, absolutely. It was so grand that only God could have created it.
alas, i think what we have here today is a runnup to that...
many selfish prayers are indeed answered for His Glory, such as mine was years ago outside the liquor store...profane, vulgar/disgusting and very selfish, but answered swiftly and completely nonetheless...
Blessings and Prayers up for you and US...
>>Ever since I have been here at FR there have been people who saw this coming. They were the ones who were ridiculed with pictures of tin foil hats and such.<<
I’m proud to be considered someone worth ridiculing or even just ignoring.
INDEED. THX.
TRUE. TRUE.
Though the hazmat suit gets a bit stifling at times.
LOL.
That’s a good point, hope.
Absolutely indeed.
Satan has been working towards this era with these globalist goals for millenia.
