It’s time to act. The time for talking is over.

As Vladimir I. Lenin put it "Who whom", meaning "who is master of whom". Obama and his ilk clearly want to break the American middle class.

What about a capital sit-down strike. Traders go to the pits at the Exchanges and refuse to conduct business. The economy will come screeching to a halt, and governments would be left high and dry. The traders could make demands, in the fashion of the 60's radicals. Santini and his supporters deserve an apology from the While House. An additional possibility is that Obama must resign his office, renounce any claim to US citizenship, and leave the country and all of its terrorties permanently. The same goes for his immediate family. In exchange, he will be paid as if he were a proper ex-President. A further payment will be made in lieu of the US government providing Secret Service protection. He will engage his own protection.

Obama's Presidential library will not be permitted to exist in the USA, though any papers, emails, etc. left behind will be examined by the authorities.

A new government will have to be empowered, but the specifics will be sticky. Let's leave that for now.

If there are better ideas, please speak up! It seems like a dream, but as the saying goes "if you will it, it is no dream".

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

“Wonder if all the Obamatons thought this is what they were voting for?”

Make sure you ask EVERY SINGLE OBAMA VOTER the following question:

“IS FASCISM THE CHANGE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE VOTING FOR???”

Hope this hasn't been posted yet:

"We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen."
Barack Obama

Watch for the triple tax on food next.
What's amazing is that he told us exactly what he was going to do, yet there are still those who are shocked by his actions.

At some point Canada and New Zealand become attractive also. New Zealand went through its socialist follies in the 1980's and collapsed, as we will also.

One can also shut down one's business for now, ride the collapse and ensuing chaos and join the tea party. My point is that increasingly all options start being put on the table.

Unless the Republicans really get their act together, (which is doubtful), a solution is going to have to come from the people. If no solution is forth coming, the people who make the country work might start to look at other options.

Taxing Earth, Water, Wind or Fire is a significant step toward the complete disintegration of a nation.

Being denied the basics to life is simply not acceptable.

Government will have to learn this the hard way.

“for relief to families to offset higher utility bills and related expenses”

Which will shortly become “Targeted relief for our inner-cities”, just like the Mortgage bailout has become.

You and I BOTH know what “Targeted relief” is the code word for.

“Zero will wait a few days then announce he has no plans to impose a greenhouse tax on us”

Or SNow and Sector will announce that they have powered the new gas tax from $2.00 to “Just” $1.75 through cooperative “Bipartisanship”.

If even half the tax payers refused to pay, the government would go broke long before it could prosecute enough people to collect their taxes.

If only 20% of hard-working, good-credit, mortgage holders stopped paying their mortgages, the banks would collapse long before they could prosecute enough people to collect the mortgages.

“tell their congresscritters that if they pass this energy bill or anything like it, their Congressional careers will end”

Millions and millions of Americans called/begged/demanded that thier elected reps in Washington NOT vote for the Porkulus bill.
THEY WERE IGNORED...

We have lost control of our own government, and it no longer listens to it’s people.

THE TIME FOR “CHANGE” is rapidly coming upon us...

The good news is, if the backlash against this B.S. is strong enough, Barbara Boxer will be defeated in 2010.
