Glenn Beck 04/13/10 – The Plan (Pt. 2)
He’s Gonna Kill Me
Well, maybe. Hey…he wouldn’t let me buy the 4 wheeler from the Pastor, and while this little gadget is no where near as much fun, it might have some serious uses. Besides, I have been whining about getting a little flip video do-hicky for a while now, cuz the cats keep doing strange things that should be saved for posterity, y’know. Ok, maybe not. But it was a WHOLE LOT CHEAPER than that 4-wheeler. And I mean a WHOLE lot. 
Yes, I know, I haven’t gotten the hang of this sucker yet, but hey, give a girl a break! It was my very first attempt! 
Unfortunately, now, I’m either going to have to go buy some more batteries, or not be prepared on Tax Day! All though AA batteries we have at home, and what do I need? Why…AA of course. I thought this sucker had a rechargeable whatsit. Well, it does, as soon as I BUY one. sigh…
Oh, and if you’re wondering, I’m in Nashville. See? If he had come with me, I could never have stopped at Wally World and gotten this sucker, right? So, I can blame it on him. Or not! Heh.
Americans Against Socialist Leeches
But I repeat myself.
Foes of Tea Party movement to infiltrate rallies
Opponents of the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic, and moronic.
Well, they’ve been trying to do that since the first rallies on 27 Feb 2009. It hasn’t quite worked out that way. As a matter of fact, the numbers have been growing…..of Tea Partiers!
Jason Levin, creator of CrashTheTeaParty.org, says the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate Tea Party events for April 15 — tax filing day.
Have you looked at that site, which I am not linking (copy and paste if you? Some of the commenters should be charged with inciting to riot. But we don’t fall for their bs, so not to worry. You see, not only are we NOT racist, homophobic, OR moronic, we are actually a quite diverse group, reflective of the population as a whole. We actually have READ the U.S. Constitution, and are quite well informed of the goings on in D.C…..unlike this buffoon. And WE have read “the bill”.
He says they want to exaggerate the group’s least appealing qualities, further distance the Tea Party from mainstream America, and damage the public’s opinion of them.
I would have to say, the most he is accomplishing is proving just how feckless the lefties really are in their attempts to discredit TRUE patriots. Clue for ya Jason, the 1st Amendment applies to EVERYONE, not just libtards! Odds are, this clown has never read the Constitution, has never paid a bit of attention to what has been happening in D.C., and has never taken the time to learn about our true foundings. He looks to be of the age where indoctrination replaced education. Shame. And shameful!
Message To The GOP: Grow A Pair!
No more profiles in caution
Effort to slow-boil the freedom frogs has failed
By Tony Blankley
The Republican Party must break with its long-established, cautious instincts and make a bold stand for first principles of freedom and constitutional limitations on government – from full repeal of Obamacare to rolling back multitrillion dollar deficits. This is not so much reproach of past Republican conduct as it is recognition of new opportunities.
I have to say, a large chunk of the established GOP haven’t had much of a spine. They have been just as guilty of putting re-election first, and the will of the people second, as the Dhimmicrats. Well, until recently, when WE, THE PEOPLE came to their offices, attended the town halls, and generally made their lives a living hell. 
The post-World War II conservative movement was born in the shadows of towering liberalism. As a result, when conservatism intermittently gained political power via the Republican Party, there were practical limits to how much liberalism they could plausibly try to dismantle. I know – I was there with the Goldwater campaign and with the Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich governing efforts.
Unfortunately, when the Republicans had the chance to REALLY make a stand for America, they blew it! BIG TIME!
A dozen years later, when Speaker Gingrich (for whom I was press secretary) again proposed killing the Department of Education, the opposition (even among Republicans) was so powerful across the country that further effort became futile.
There has been a strong national presumption of legitimacy for most of the statist programs policies and rulings introduced by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson and the Supreme Court. To challenge them drew sneering ridicule, not just from the usual liberal suspects, but from most mainstream Republican voters.
One of the first things that should find it’s way into the history books, after CONSERVATIVES retake the power, is how WE got rid of that damn Dept. of Education! If they hadn’t been allowed to become so strong, perhaps our children would actually be LEARNING to read, write, add, subtract, and they would KNOW our nation’s TRUE history. Instead, since the Republicans had shriveled up peanuts for balls, the union has taken over the education system, and we are left with high school graduating classes full of kids, ignorant of why they are free, barely able to string 2 words together to create a coherent sentence, and are so unprepared for life in general, we find ourselves having to explain to the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell how to make change!
Thus, Republican congressmen, senators and governors – even staunch, principled conservatives – developed the instinct to propose only modestly less statist policies than Democrats did (as, for example, George W. Bush’s Medicare Part D subsidies for drugs.) And we did so for the very practical reason that to do more assured overwhelming opposition by the broad center of the country, which took for granted that the structures and programs of government that had existed since they were born were normal, not unconstitutionally statist.
Let’s face it, Bush was NEVER a conservative, and was maybe, just maybe, a moderate, trying so hard to please the Democrats, he forgot that he was originally elected to reverse the course of the creeping statism. Instead, he only added to it.
All the following acts have suddenly awakened Americans to their Constitution: (1) The nationalization of car companies and banks; (2) the subordination of the car companies’ legal bondholders to union bosses; (3) the creation of trillion-dollar slush funds (the stimulus package) used for, among other purposes, the corrupt purchase of congressional votes; (4) the mandating of individual health insurance purchase against the will of Americans; (5) the attempt to have Obamacare “deemed” to have been enacted, rather than actually publicly voted on by Congress.
Well, better late than never, I suppose. It’s a shame we weren’t paying attention as our freedoms were eroded by the corrupt in D.C. Well, some were, but no where near enough! Even I’m guilty of being complacent through a large chunk of my adult life. Thankfully, I started waking up around 2003. It was a slow process that took quite a bit of coffee, but I do believe BOTH eyes have been open for a few years now.
Amazingly, spontaneously, Americans are educating themselves about the details of our Constitution. Last week, I participated in a town hall meeting organized by Sirius Radio network with a large live audience and call-ins from state legislators across the country to discuss the merits of invoking an Article V constitutional convention (much more on that in a later column.) Many members of the audience – regular people from all over the country – held up their pocket Constitutions, which they keep with them.
Yep. I’m one of those folks that carries around a copy of the Constitution, and Declaration of Independence. You can get ‘em from the Heritage Foundation. It’s a good read. Quite a bit in there that a large number of elected officials aren’t even aware of! Go figure. And by the way, we don’t need another Constitutional Convention. The Constitution we have pretty much covers everything, so why would anyone want to change it? I’m thinking before anyone can even think about running for elected office, they should be REQUIRED to take a course on the Constitution. I know a guy who would be HAPPY to teach the course! 
Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion – every action has a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction – also applies to the political physics of the body politic. The suddenness and radical magnitude of Washington actions these past 18 months has induced an equal and equally radical reaction.
Oh yeah, they got a reaction alright! Us ol’ astroturfers. You know, all us RICH, WHITE, RACISTS!
Everything is on the table to be considered for rollback. It didn’t start with President Obama, but it may begin to end with him.
He has awakened the American people to our heritage of freedom and the people are getting ready to grab back our freedom by the handful.
I suppose we can be grateful to D’Bama for ONE thing. He has awaken the ‘sleeping giant’, and prayerfully, we will NOT return to our slumber. The fight to regain and retain our freedoms has just begun. Will the Republican Party stand with us? Or will they go the way of the Whigs?
Here’s a tip to Republican senators: Be bold and explicit. The president’s nominee for the Supreme Court should be defeated by filibuster exclusively because he (or she) will inevitably vote to uphold as constitutional the unconstitutional health care insurance purchase mandate.
In other words…..GROW A PAIR! The future of America depends on it!
But Will He Go Away?
Official: SEIU President Stern to Resign
The leader of one of the country’s biggest labor unions and a top ally of President Obama is stepping down.
Andy Stern, whose 2.2-million member Service Employees International Union spent about $60 million to help Obama win the presidency, is planning to resign as union president, according to a senior union official.
While this might sounds like good news, I’m quite leery. What government post will his good buddy, D’Bama, put him in….what will his czar title be…..at the taxpayer’s expense, of course?
Glenn Beck 04/12/2010 – The Plan
Will He Never Stop Embarrassing Us??
D’Bama bowing to the Communist Chinese.
Does he have any decency, what so ever??? Americans do NOT bow to ANYONE! And there he is, doing what he does….SUCKING UP! Just one more prime example of why he has NO business sitting in the Oval Office. Clue to D’Bama: World leaders do NOT bow to each other! Why hasn’t any of his staff told him this?
Tax Day Tea Party – Nashville
Obama Regime Weakens America!
Obama is No Reagan on Nuclear Strategy
The Foundry
Leaders from 46 nations, the most gathered together since the United Nations was formed in San Francisco in 1945, will meet over the next two days in Washington, DC. The stated goal of this Obama administration-hosted summit is laudable: keeping nuclear weapons out of terrorist hands. Who could argue with that? And this Nuclear Security Summit comes less than a week after President Barack Obama released a Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and just days after he signed a New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. As many of the White House’s allies pointed out last week, President Ronald Reagan wanted a world without nuclear weapons, and he also signed an arms treaty with the Soviet Union. President Obama’s policy goals are just like President Reagan’s. So why is anyone criticizing the White House’s nuclear strategy? Because how we get to a nuke-free world matters.
Just WHO Does D’Bama Represent?
Absence of key U.S. allies at summit amplifies doubts about Obama’s foreign policy
President Obama is holding one of the biggest global summits ever on U.S. soil starting Monday, but for all the hoopla, the event will be missing America’s strongest allies.
As remarkable as it is, the fact that neither British Prime Minister Gordon Brown nor Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are attending President Obama’s nuclear security summit in Washington Monday and Tuesday is not altogether surprising.
Relations with both countries — Israel in particular — have grown strained under Obama. Combined with Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s recent defiance of the administration, questions are growing about the president’s ability to maintain important relationships.
Gee, if D’Bama hadn’t told us himself that he is doing all this for our own good, I would have to believe he is not representing the best interest of the country. You don’t shaft allies in favor of enemies, and potential enemies. But then, he’s the expert, right? And we all just the uneducated masses. Yes, the community organizer in chief is now and expert on EVERYTHING, and we should all fall in line behind Dear Leader.
Yom HaShoah
Yom HaShoah (Yom HaShoa, Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura) officially translates to “Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism”, but is often known as “Holocaust Remembrance Day” in English.
We should remember everyday, not just today, the devastation brought about by evil. On this particular day, set aside as a day of remembrance, we should remind ourselves, evil still exists, and must not be allowed to thrive.
Letter For The American People
(sticky)
I have to admit, when I watched Mr Voight read his letter, my reaction was shock. Shock, not at what he said, but the fact that someone of some note, actually had the courage to say it publicly. Got Bless that man! FINALLY! Someone, from Hollyweid no less, with the cajones to step up, and say what a large number of us, on the interweb, have been saying for a long time, just not as eloquently! Take heed socialists! We ARE strong! We are NOT racist! We are NOT homophobes! And we are NOT going to let you destroy the dream men and women have died to create, with God’s Grace! WE are America! WE are Americans! And your 15 minutes are up!
Leaving this on top for a while. It must be heard, shared, etc. Post it, pass it around via email. Just get the message out! We are NOT going away! And we are NOT intimidated by your smears!

Evening Critters
I was outside making sure the moochers (porch cats) were fed and watered, when I looked up and saw a pair of eyes looking back at me from on top of the squirrel proof bird feeder. It took me a few seconds to realize it was a young raccoon. Are squirrel proof bird feeders raccoon proof? After we sized each other up, and decided neither of us was going to cause trouble for the other, he went back to trying to get into the feeder. I don’t think he was having a lot of luck. Glancing down, I noticed another pair of eyes peeking from around the side of the tree. Evidently, I didn’t seem all that threatening, and probably wouldn’t be making a meal out of him either. I’m too big for him to eat, so that wasn’t an issue. These guys looked to be fairly young….teenagers so to speak.
I did my best to get a picture of them, but since I don’t have one of those fancy schmancy cameras, like Serr8d has, they turned out like crap. Oh well. I don’t think the Mr is going to go out and buy one of them new fangled picher shooters, do you?
They sure do have some seriously reflective eyes! Kind of creepy.
