They think you're stupid!

For decades the party of "Jack" Kennedy has been bamboozeled by professional politicians pretending to have somthing in common with JFK but alas,they have morphed into something so grotesque and dangerous that left unchecked, they will continue this power grab and surely enslave everyone of us who is not considered to be within their power circle;the political ruling class. Slavery was wrong then is still now and evershall be,no matter WHO is the slave. When the government comes to your town or your block and decides to tell you who can earn how much,who can buy what and who can live where. When they tell you you can't speak freely if you disagree with them and tell you you can't defend your life ,liberty and property without their permission which will never come,you my friend are not free.If you are not free you are a slave. A slave to power. A slave to control. A slave to government, acting only in accordance with what your keepers tell you to be,say and do. And BTW Republicans,you're not off the hook either. You allowed this to happen by being too weak and "me too" to go along and get along. People like Spectre and Snow et,al are just as guilty as the Franks and Dodds of this world. Follow through and see and hear them speak for themselves in side by side video clips. Don't listen to me, just listen to them.You can't make this stuff up! Get a good look now while they still allow this on the internet,as soon I think they will begin to remove all traces of dissent and people like me will have our voices silenced and you will have your eyes and ears blinded and silenced as well. It can only be this way because to let people like me talk to people like you will only hurt their chances to continue to fool you long enough to sieze complete and total control and jamb their collective boot into your neck.

You will take careful note that when Obama says there are no earmarks, or pork barrell spending,what he really means is that there are no actual marks made by rubbing actual ears on the pages of the bill and that there is no actual legislation intended to purchase barrels of pork. Sounds an awful lot like "-It depends on what the definition of is is...". ( ala,Bill Clinton)That is how these politicians get away with saying the things they do and then be able to sleep at night since they can say that they didn't actually lie to anyone as long as the translation was in their head when they said the lie. Keep a clear eye on these people and read between the lines. How do you tell if a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.

So your shaking your head by now in disbelief or you are sething with rage directed at me. Well, if you want to stop this BS you gotta stop voting for these professional political hitmen and start voting for people who support the Constitution and the rights of all people to live free regardless of wether or not you think the wealth that they built for themselves is disproprtionatly "distrbuted" among the people. ITS NOT YOUR DAMN MONEY GO MAKE YOUR OWN WEALTH YOU LAZY BASTARD! That is the wisdom of our great grand parents speaking there!
You see, no matter how many levels of "law" you insulate yourself with you are still commiting theft when you intentionally back and vote for politicians and policies that confiscate the property of others without their permission. It's called stealing.Look it up. Words mean things and you can never take property from some one who rightfully owns it and use it for your own gain or give it to another without the permission of the person whom is being relieved of it and not have it be theft. Any reasonable and sane individual who speaks honestly would have to agree that if you took something from a wealthy neighbor and gave it to a local homeless person without the neighbors permission, you would be a thief,no matter how lofty and noble your intentions were.If it was a car,you would be looking at hard time. If you then vote for politicians who draft "laws" to do the same thing how is it not still theft? it is,you just use the color of law to assuage your gilt. You would feel just as violated as the wealthy neighbor and rightfully so if the shoe were on the other foot. Just remember,when they are done harrassing and victimizing the people you give them support to ,they will be looking for more victims and will eventually come for you. But then it will be too late and my voice will have long been silenced and we will all be dead or miserable equally together. That is the only equality garrantee that this type of tyranny ever ends in,there is no utopia out there so just give it up now. The original American constitution and our free market system are as close as anyone has ever gotten so why all the hurry to do away with the freest and most equitable and fair system ever designed. Fair ? (You ask .)
Yes, as fair as it gets. You work hard,live a good life of virtue,learn skills and employ them to the best of your ability and make your way in life. The rewards you reap are in direct proportion to your effort to achieve. If you fail and then quit,or worse,never attemp greatness or even a decent livlyhood,then that is your own fault and you should suffer the consequences. I have no time for people who will look at this and think me to be cold and cruel harted,you don't know anything about me and are incapable of understanding even the most basic fundamental laws of nature. I seek only to have a conversation with those who see potential and common sense in what I say here. The rest of you I really don't care what you think. How do ya like me now!

Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America .

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America , all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has come to America .

Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them.

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University 's Kennedy School of Government.

I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.

Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United States , the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.

So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton , Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good.

There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.
