Combined ping to 2 ping lists

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on August 24, 2009. on my page. Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

RE :”But I think the key was not so much the spending excess or new entitlements. The point instead was the consequence of the resulting deficits, which will require radically new taxation for generations. If on April 15 the federal and state governments, local entities, the Social Security system, and the new health-care programs can claim 70 percent of the income of the top 5 percent of taxpayers, then that is considered a public good — every bit as valuable as funding new programs, and one worth risking insolvency”
I believe it. Of course it is our job to talk about Unemployment and debt over and over and make Obama own them.
Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history, bar none. Kim Philby couldn’t tie his shoes.
There’s so much irony in all of this. The obvious, indeed stated agenda equals Reparations. It’s Reparations by any other name. One must never forget that a majority of U.S. voters elected this president. The key to that of course is that over 50% of the population receives more in benefits from this gov’t than they pay in. Thus we have a majority voting pool of parasites. Thus we have a Parasitic Gov’t. And one of the ironies of this is that brave patriots die in service to their country in Afghanistan and Iraq; serving the cause of freedom for a country now largely of parasites feasting through their parasitic gov’t.
“...it is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.”
“inflation of the currency and greater national debt to lessen the power of accumulated capital”
DING!!!!! We have a winner!
The same Obama that didn't unerstand that capital gains tax reductions have historically resulted in more tax revenues for the government, doesn't grasp this fact, nor do most liberals.
The waitress will be lucky to have a job when the top 5% stop dining at restaurants. Of course this will never apply to the obama’s and emmanuel’s, who shelter their wealth from taxation or live off the donated largess of those they despise.
“Given the September 2008 financial meltdown”
So - the same tactic that put Roosevelt’s beginnings of Socialism in place were used again. Just as the Fed created the depression to let FDR Socialize the government, so the NWO bankers simply created a financial crisis (never waste a good crisis) and engineered the Obama election with massive amounts of money for TV commercials, the cooperation of the media in saturating the news with his face, and ACORN voter fraud and - - - Voila! A Marxist government in the USA.
What Obama has always been about, what he was trained for by Frank Marshall Davis and Rev. Wright and Billie Ayers — a giant “smash and grab” looting of the nation. “Redistributive justice” indeed.

OUTSTANDING article by VDH! Thanks for posting.
The lightweight-socialist, propagandists-created, con-man fooled many. The bulk of his anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life statist allies were in place long before he arrived. We should’ve drummed his legislative support system out of office one-by-one long ago. He is their poster child. The neo-statist. Hope and change becomes rope and chains.
Mike Church, on Sirius Patriot, is about to read this piece in its entirety on the air.
Bump for a later read, thanks.
When America's Founders and Framers of their Constitution wanted to convince ordinary farmers and citizens of the merits of a written "People's" Constitution to limit the powers of those to whom they entrust the powers of government, they published and circulated 85 essays, known as THE FEDERALIST.
It's time for citizens, once again, to examine those strong and clear words of Madison Hamilton, and Jay. They are just as clear for today's audience as they were then.
Circulate the following excerpts to your friends. Even the least politically savvy will "get" Madison's meaning, especially in light of the power grab now going on in Washington. After all, THE FEDERALIST was the Framers' authoritative explanation of their Constitution, and directed by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in 1825 to be used as the text for its law school in its studies of "the general principles of liberty and the rights of man," and said by Jefferson to "constitute 'the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the U.S., on questions as to its genuine meaning.'":
"The house of representatives... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788
"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788
"Such will be the relation between the House of Representatives and their constituents. Duty gratitude, interest, ambition itself, are the cords by which they will be bound to fidelity and sympathy with the great mass of the people." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788
"If it be asked what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer, the genius of the whole system, the nature of just and constitutional laws, and above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788
"This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788
"The propensity of all single and numerous assemblies (is) to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few not for the many." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
Note particularly the following words of wisdom from Federalist No. 63, and take heart, dear citizens, you are doing what you were meant to do:
"As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?" - Federalist Papers, No. 63, 1788
VDH hits another one out of the park
What Odumbo wants and what Odumbo will get are 2 different beasts. Approval rating today is 51%. He’s sinking like a lead balloon.
What Glenn Beck talked about yesterday. Tune in today to hear Rush Limbaugh and Beck talk about FRee Speech.
Nailed It!
