An unforeseen mistake?   A miscalculation of support?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is all part of George Sorros' and his partner Obama, to create chaos in America.   What do you think the occupy movement is all about?   Chaos!   How does any of this make sense?   Obama's running for re-election so why would he alienate a whole group of people.   Does he think they'll forget?   Does he think others won't pay attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By creating chaos among the people and riots in the street (remember, it was Sorros that just made that comment) they will create a demand for the government to do something about the chaos and riots.   The government under Obama's reign will necessarily step in and take control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, last December when your Congress passed the National Defense Act?   In that act it specifically says that the government can arrest and detain without trial, ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN, who they BELIEVE may be harmful or disruptive to the government.   Not just a terrorist but ANYONE!&lt;br /&gt;Remember the Homeland Security letter from Sec. Napolitono that said we should watch for trouble from people who are devout Christians, or those who own firearms, or former military and so on.   So now, in the time of riots, if you fit one of those categories then you are subject to scrutiny and possible arrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In 1936 Germany, the people said it couldn't happen and all would be fine.   They came for the guns and the people said all would be fine.   They came for the Jews and gypsies  and the people said just as long as it's not us.   Then Hitler was made the omnipotent Chancellor to quell the unrest.   Hitler then disbanded the Reichstag (Parliament) when he has no further use for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;History repeats itself!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Look no further than today for the repetition.   DO NOT sit back and think to yourself, "It can't happen here".   Obama is going after the Catholics to create unrest.   It has nothing to do with abortion or contraception or even the church.   It is to create the  chaos that is required so that the government can step in and "save the country".   So you say "But there's an election coming and everything will be changed then."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Not at all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In November, or just before the elections, after food prices have risen dramatically.   And after gas has gone to $5 a gallon or more.   And after the dollar has become nearly worthless.   With the occupy groups in all the cities demanding whatever or who knows, Obama will step in and declare a national emergency and take complete control.   Obama makes a national broadcast to the people declaring that  due to the emergencies and state of the country he is required to suspend all  elections until order is restored.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;How can he do this you say?   Remember I told you above how Congress gave him the power to arrest ANY American citizen?   And remember all those Czars that Obama put into office without any approval from Congress and each Czar has their staff of hundreds.   So where do you think Obama is going to turn for support?   At last count, it was reported that Obama has added 178,000 new government employees.   Do you think that might be a good number to start with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And then what about all the people that are going to say "As long as it's not me" when their neighbor gets arrested for some obscure reason.   You're going to be short of food and other necessities so what can you do?   You need the government's help too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And Congress.   They have never stood up to Obama.   They are just like the other puppets.   Too worried about their own power and jobs in Washington.   They'll do nothing.   Some will speak out but will soon be arrested under the very law the approved last December.   As a danger to our government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Not at all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;If you do something now.   First, make a plan for survival without the government.   Stock up on dried foods.   Convert today's dollars into silver (or gold).   You will always be able to buy what you need with silver after the dollar is gone.   Make sure you are prepared to defend yourself and family.   There will be those who will come for your goods because they never prepared.   "How can this ever happen" you say.   It is happening RIGHT NOW in Greece!   Formerly good people are killing, robbing and looting.   Riots are in the street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now you are going to say this is a fantasy and I'm a fanatic.   I hope so.   I hope none of this happens.   But who would have ever thought a Supreme Court Justice would go to Egypt and tell them NOT to use the US Constitution as a model for their country.   That happened this week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Who would have ever thought an American would be subject to arrest and detention without trial because someone just believed he might be a threat.   Why, who would have thought an American President would bow down to kings of other nations.   Obama did, numerous times.   And who would have thought the President would declare that America is NOT a Christian nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Remember his promise when he was running for President?   That he was going to transform America.   You're looking at it.   You're living in it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You must prepare yourself, your family and friends.   Do not let this chance slip by.   If by some wondrous work of God this doesn't happen than you are no worse off.   Some may call you radical or a pessimist or worse.   But you will be fine.   But, if you do nothing and this does come to pass, what do you do then?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7959481776995692426?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7959481776995692426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2012/02/not-at-all.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7959481776995692426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7959481776995692426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2012/02/not-at-all.html' title='Not at all!'/><author><name>David M.

I know, this is not correct and usually I  can keep my cool, but this is a total disgrace to our country and to  every American.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mayor Bloomberg has demanded that a Clergy Free zone be created around  the World Trade center for next weeks 10th anniversary commemoration.      Members of the clergy must remain outside of the specified areas next to  the memorial.   Bloomberg doesn't want anyone to be offended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Well, I am offended!     The clergy was there to work with firefighters  and police and family members after 911, but now they're not welcome.      This angers me so much I could spit nails.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And now we have the Chicago union thugs calling for the unions to "take  the Sons of Bitches out".     And for the unions to work with Obama to  accomplish this.     We all know what a union boss means when he says to  take someone out who disagrees with them.     And now publicly proclaiming  this a part of the Obama campaign.     With Obama present, and speaking  after that remark you might think there would be some moderation, but  no.     Just more encouragement for the anointed one, Obama,  in another  of his campaign speeches promoting his union friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is not a person worthy of the position of President of the USA.      He is hand in hand with the union thugs and Chicago mobsters.     He wants  to dominate this country with more of these strong hand tactics and  will use the unions to do it.     He has been held back by Congress, even  his own Democrats do not support many of his plans so he is now making  his own regulations to accomplish the dictatorial goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span id="46c18a5d-6607-40c0-bdd8-aa03293e8a13"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You can turn your back, look the other way or hide your head in the  sand, but the loss of your country is at stake here.      Would you have  ever thought someone would create a "clergy free zone" in the USA?       Would you have ever though a President of the US would support a speech  that promoted the "taking out" of American citizens who had opposing  viewpoints?   Well, it's happening right under your very nose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="46c18a5d-6607-40c0-bdd8-aa03293e8a13"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You better act now.     Stand up and speak out.     Find leaders who will  support the return to American values and our founding principals.     And  work to get them elected to office next year.   This is just not a  national problem, it is a local problem, from school committee members  to mayors to governors and congressional members.     We need to clean  house of those who want our country turned into a socialist  dictatorship.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, that is what your children and grand children  will be faced with.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what do you tell them when they ask what it  was like to live in a free country where you could make your own  decisions and determine what kind of life you wanted to have?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7202634104393716316?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7202634104393716316/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2011/09/clergy-free-zone-take-out-sobs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7202634104393716316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7202634104393716316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2011/09/clergy-free-zone-take-out-sobs.html' title='Clergy Free Zone; Take out the SOBs!'/><author><name>David M.

From Obama's Jan. 2008 talk.   In his own words: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity &lt;strong&gt;rates &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;would necessarily skyrocket&lt;/strong&gt;.  Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad.  Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know,  natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the  industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That  will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;That’s macaca, ‘and we’re going to Ohio! YEAAAAAAAH’, for it before I  was against it, wide stance, tickle party, Joementum, stand up chuck —  all rolled into one and multiplied by a million. Here we are in 2011 and  President Obama is getting exactly what he wanted – skyrocketing energy  prices. He hasn’t passed Cap &amp;amp; Trade but his policies aren’t  exactly energy price friendly: restricting drilling in the Gulf of  Mexico, encouraging more uprisings/chaos in the middle east, devastating  ‘green’ regulations such as unreasonable fuel efficiency standards, to  name a few. And there’s crickets. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The hypocrisy is stunning. Gas prices were the Democrats #1 issue in  2008 until the market collapsed. It was the lead story in countless  newscasts. Nancy Pelosi even demanded an investigation &lt;em&gt;“the FTC has failed to exercise its power to protect consumers from &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;skyrocketing energy costs&lt;/span&gt;” &lt;/em&gt;she declared. Well, Nancy, you’ve failed to protect consumers from a President who is in favor of higher energy costs.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The mere fact that he admitted, clearly, that he wants prices to  ‘skyrocket’ in the middle of the ‘worst economic crisis since the great  depression’ should be enough to shut this guy down. Sadly, it’s not even  a blip on the radar.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I guess, for President Obama – it’s Mission Accomplished.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;Remember, there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO GAS SHORTAGE&lt;/span&gt;!      This is NOT like the 70's!   It  is all part of Obama's plan.   He want's you to get used to paying over  $4 for gas so his next move won't seem all that bad.     You won't hear  about this from the major news media outlets, they're in his pocket.      But it'll be your pocket that'll take the hit.....financially.   And now  he's even promoting a tax increase for top wage earners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;During the Obama administration, he has done everything he can to  make Congress irrelevant and they have let him.     He does more by  executive order today than any other president.   Issues that required  Congressional approval (especially for Republicans) have now been taken  over by Obama.   Just look at the Libya conflict.   Do you think for a  minute that the media or Congress would have let Bush get away with  that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;You must keep on top of your Representatives in the House and Senate  and let them know how you feel and that they need to stop Obama now.

And we (our President) continue to allow China to take over as the dominant world power.      It is now thought by the richest and most powerful people in this country that the most important thing to teach your children and grand children is Mandarin Chinese.      This is on track to becoming the language of the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Our younger generation must start thinking "out of the box" now.      We did this for years but the coddling left has encouraged this country into a passive mentality and we've allowed it to happen.     Let the government take care of you is their motto.     While the Chinese have been promoting independent thinking (albeit with government controls).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Our debt is out of control yet the President continues to encourage more spending.     He continues to expand his cabinet and supporters at the expense of the American taxpayer.     This President has expanded the Federal government employee levels to the highest ever in history, even exceeding wartime levels.     Our increasing debts are sold to China.     Even someone with a grade school education knows you cannot continue spending and expect the debt to go down.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;The Congress has not only allowed this but in many cases abdicated (given up) their power of the country's financial management.     It used to be that only Congress could set the budget and expenditures but they have recently passed legislation that gives the President sole power to spend money in many areas as he (the President) sees fit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;We can no longer fail in this country because the government will step in to help and take over.     Even in the US education system the idea of failure is being eradicated.   The idea of being the best in school must now be shared among all the students.     Remember the multiple valedictorians in the news a year or so ago.   Progressive educators don't want any child's feelings to be hurt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;This has been going on for many years and it may already be too late to turn it around.     The  current President may well be the one to put the "final nail in the coffin" and bring the US to being a secondary world power.     This is certainly the goal of the Progressives and always has been since the time of Woodrow Wilson.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;We can still do our part and spread the word.     Maybe with encouragement and enlightenment we can open the eyes of enough US citizens to return this country to the greatness it once was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;*CHINA AT $1.79T IS ON TRACK TO BECOMING THE LARGEST MANUFACTURING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, A POSITION HELD BY THE UNITED STATES AT ONLY $1.83T.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;*CHINA HAS NOW TOPPED THE US AS THE BIGGEST EXPORT MARKET FOR:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;-BRAZIL (ACCOUNTING FOR 12.5% OF BRAZILIAN EXPORTS IN 2009)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;-SOUTH AFRICA (10.3%)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;-JAPAN (18.9%)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;-AUSTRALIA (21.8%)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;*THE CHINESE HOLD MORE THAN A QUARTER OF ALL US TREASURY SECURITIES. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;CHINA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; CURRENTLY HOLDS APPX $868.4 BIL IN US TREASURYS (AS OF AUG. 2010)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;**CHINA IS ON COURSE TO OVERTAKE THE U.S. AS THE WORLD’S LARGEST ECONOMY AROUND 2020, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS SAID IN A JANUARY REPORT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;-----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;CHINA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; IS THE EU’S SECOND-LARGEST TRADING PARTNER BEHIND THE UNITED STATES.&lt;br /&gt;BUT COULD THAT CHANGE SOON.&lt;br /&gt;TWO-WAY TRADE BETWEEN CHINA AND THE EU FOR THE FIRST 11 MONTHS THIS YEAR REACHED $433.9 BILLION, AN INCREASE OF 33 PERCENT FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;------------------------------&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAUDI ARABIA – THE WORLD’S SECOND-LARGEST CRUDE OIL PRODUCER – USED TO RELY ON THE US AS ITS SINGLE-LARGEST CUSTOMER FOR PETROLEUM LIQUIDS IN 2009, THIS FIGURE FELL TO 989,000 WHILE SAUDI OIL EXPORTS TO CHINA SURGED TO ABOVE 1 MILLION BARRELS A DAY.

This is the most important election of your lifetime.   If conservatives don't retake the congress, it will give encouragement to Obama and his liberal progressives to continue their dismantling of the United States and the Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Never have I experienced a President put so much campaign time into the re-election of his Democrats.   This is what he does.   He is not a leader but simply a campaigner.   And I never recall Laura Bush going out on the stump for candidates the way Michelle Obama is.   What a degrading position for the First Lady of the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pollsters are now saying that the Democrats are becoming mobilized and may indeed keep their seats in the House and Senate.

Now, according to numerous news reports, it's gloom and doom for the Republican Party.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Not so fast!   Don't be taken in by these liberal media reports.   Remember how the liberal media has presented the news over the past 2-3 years.   Has it been open and honest?   Not hardly.   Have you really found out what was going on?   Not at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So why now should you take faith in the reports purporting that the Tea Party will be the downfall of the GOP?   In some reports, it's wishful thinking (that the GOP will go down).   In others it's to mislead voters with the hope they will not take any Tea Party candidate seriously.   I can tell you that this liberal strategy will not work.   Conservative voters know the truth and conservative voters will make a knowledgeable decision in November and make major changes in Congress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Long term GOP members have been uprooted.   Many of these conservative candidates are women.   Voters see them as the best replacement for the GOP establishment and to make change.   Women certainly know the hardship facing the American voter.   And they will work hard in Congress to undo the damage done by the progressives.   We hope these new members will not fall prey to the dogs in DC and will not succumb to the temptations.   Generally women can see through all this and know how to resist temptation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So keep the faith.

Now it is to Lyndon B. Johnson's unhappy presidency that Democratic strategist Robert Shrum compares the stewardship of Mr. Obama. Johnson, wrote Mr. Shrum in the Week magazine last month, never "sustained an emotional link with the American people" and chose to escalate a war that "forced his abdication as president." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A broken link with the public, and a war in Afghanistan he neither embraces and sells to his party nor abandons—this is a time of puzzlement for President Obama. His fall from political grace has been as swift as his rise a handful of years ago. He had been hot political property in 2006 and, of course, in 2008. But now he will campaign for his party's 2010 candidates from afar, holding fund raisers but not hitting the campaign trail in most of the contested races. Those mass rallies of Obama frenzy are surely of the past. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;" class="insetContent insetCol3wide embedType-video"&gt;&lt;div class="insetTree" id="articlevideo_1"&gt;    &lt;!-- lib_json_commons.ftl --&gt; &lt;p class="targetCaption"&gt;Senior Economics Writer Steve Moore asks whether the President is finished as an agent of change.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The vaunted Obama economic stimulus, at $862 billion, has failed. The "progressives" want to double down, and were they to have their way, would have pushed for a bigger stimulus still. But the American people are in open rebellion against an economic strategy of public debt, higher taxes and unending deficits. We're not all Keynesians, it turns out. The panic that propelled Mr. Obama to the presidency has waned. There is deep concern, to be sure. But the Obama strategy has lost the consent of the governed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mr. Obama could protest that his swift and sudden fall from grace is no fault of his. He had been a blank slate, and the devotees had projected onto him their hopes and dreams. His victory had not been the triumph of policies he had enunciated in great detail. He had never run anything in his entire life. He had a scant public record, but oddly this worked to his advantage. If he was going to begin the world anew, it was better that he knew little about the machinery of government.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;He pronounced on the American condition with stark, unalloyed confidence. He had little if any regard for precedents. He could be forgiven the thought that America's faith in economic freedom had given way and that he had the popular writ to move the nation toward a super-regulated command economy. An "economic emergency" was upon us, and this would be the New New Deal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There was no hesitation in the monumental changes Mr. Obama had in mind. The logic was Jacobin, the authority deriving from a perceived mandate to recast time-honored practices. It was veritably rule by emergency decrees. If public opinion displayed no enthusiasm for the overhaul of the nation's health-care system, the administration would push on. The public would adjust in due time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The nation may be ill at ease with an immigration reform bill that would provide some 12 million illegal immigrants a path toward citizenship, but the administration would still insist on the primacy of its own judgment. It would take Arizona to court, even though the public let it be known that it understood Arizona's immigration law as an expression of that state's frustration with the federal government's abdication of its responsibility over border security. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It was clear as daylight that there was a built-in contradiction between opening the citizenship rolls to a vast flood of new petitioners and a political economy of redistribution favored by the Obama administration. The choice was stark: You could either "spread the wealth around" or open the gates for legalizing millions of immigrants of lower skills. You could not do both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It was canonical to this administration and its functionaries that they were handed a broken nation, that it was theirs to repair, that it was theirs to tax and reshape to their preferences. Yet there was, in 1980, after another landmark election, a leader who had stepped forth in a time of "malaise" at home and weakness abroad: Ronald Reagan. His program was different from Mr. Obama's. His faith in the country was boundless. What he sought was to restore the nation's faith in itself, in its political and economic vitality. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Big as Reagan's mandate was, in two elections, the man was never bigger than his country. There was never narcissism or a bloated sense of personal destiny in him. He gloried in the country, and drew sustenance from its heroic deeds and its capacity for recovery. No political class rode with him to power anxious to lay its hands on the nation's treasure, eager to supplant the forces of the market with its own economic preferences. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;To be sure, Reagan faltered midway through his second term—the arms-for-hostages trade, the Iran-Contra affair, nearly wrecked his presidency. But he recovered, the nation rallied around him and carried him across the finish line, his bond with the electorate deep and true. He had two years left of his stewardship, and his political recovery was so miraculous that he, and his first mate, Secretary of State George P. Shultz, would seal the nation's victory in the Cold War.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There is little evidence that the Obama presidency could yet find new vindication, another lease on life. Mr. Obama will mark time, but henceforth he will not define the national agenda. He will not be the repository of its hopes and sentiments. The ambition that his would be a "transformational" presidency—he rightly described Reagan's stewardship in these terms—is for naught. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" name="U301133307393EJE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There remains the fact of his biography, a man's journey. Personality is doubtless an obstacle to his recovery. The detachment of Mr. Obama need not be dwelled upon at great length, so obvious it is now even to the pundits who had a "tingling sensation" when they beheld him during his astonishing run for office. Nor does Mr. Obama have the suppleness of Bill Clinton, who rose out of the debris of his first two years in the presidency, dusted himself off, walked away from his spouse's radical attempt to remake the country's health-delivery system, and moved to the political center. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It is in the nature of charisma that it rises out of thin air, out of need and distress, and then dissipates when the magic fails. The country has had its fill with a scapegoating that knows no end from a president who had vowed to break with recriminations and partisanship. The magic of 2008 can't be recreated, and good riddance to it. Slowly, the nation has recovered its poise. There is a widespread sense of unstated embarrassment that a political majority, if only for a moment, fell for the promise of an untested redeemer—a belief alien to the temperament of this so practical and sober a nation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;    &lt;em&gt;Mr. Ajami is a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.&lt;/em&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-4236563914275373686?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/4236563914275373686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/08/obsolescence-of-obama.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4236563914275373686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4236563914275373686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/08/obsolescence-of-obama.html' title='Obsolescence of Obama'/><author><name>David M.

While doing some research I found that the complete video programs are available.   These programs are so important that I wanted to put them up here for others to find.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I know, the liberals and progressives are going to say that I'm brainwashed by Glenn Beck or that Beck is stealing Martin Luther Kings legacy.     But the facts really speak for themselves.   Watch the videos of Obama's supporters and hear their own words proclaiming the downfall of our country and the need for socialism.     Read the documents and books written in these Obama supporters own words.     These are not made up or mis-interpreted words, these are facts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There really is no need to make anything up as the historical documents speak for themselves.   The other important part about these videos of Founders Fridays is the historical aspect so we don't repeat the same mistakes again.     Learn this now and pass the word to others to prevent the social justice devastation that is sure to follow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The three program videos I recommend here were done May 28th and June 25th.     These are about the black Americans part in our history.     Stuff that is no longer taught in our schools and universities.     It was the goal of the progressives and liberals to keep the black people sub-serviant to the Democratic party and thereby a voting member of the party.     In this they have succeeded.     But you can learn the truth by watching these videos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You will be able to answer who the first American was that was killed in the Revolutionary war.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You will learn when the segregation of our military occurred in the 20th century (and not before).  &lt;br /&gt;You will learn that the KKK was formed during reconstruction to get rid of Republicans and they deemed all blacks to be Republican.  &lt;br /&gt;You will learn why the first elected blacks in the South were not of the Democratic party (not by a longshot).  &lt;br /&gt;And much more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I know the videos are of hour long programs (but no commercials) so they will take some of your time, but they are must watch videos.     Become informed and speak out.   It is only you that can make a difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The first program is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://watchglennbeck.com/video/2010/May/Glenn-Beck-Show-May-28-2010-Black-American-Founding-Fathers/"&gt;The Daily Beck- Watch The Glenn Beck Show- May 28, 2010- Founders' Friday- America's Black Founding Fathers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There are four segments to these videos.   Just mouse over the video to select the next part.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Just under that video is another video of the day where you can watch conservative Black Americans speak with Glenn Beck about this missing history.     You will learn some more very important history that should not be missed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The second program is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://watchglennbeck.com/video/2010/June/Glenn-Beck-Show-June-25-2010-Founders-Friday-Black-Founding-Fathers-Part2/"&gt;The Daily Beck- Watch The Glenn Beck Show- June 25, 2010: Founders' Friday- Black Founding Fathers (Part 2).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Please take the time and watch these.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-5966163900063110147?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/5966163900063110147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/07/founders-fridays.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5966163900063110147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5966163900063110147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/07/founders-fridays.html' title='Founders Fridays'/><author><name>David M.

After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren would live under freedom, he arrogantly declared in substance: 'You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We won't have to fight you; we'll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.'

Here's a few that stand out:&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 3: Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 15: Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 17: Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 18: Gain control of all student newspapers&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 19: Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 20: Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 21: Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 27: Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 28: Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 29: Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 30: Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man"&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 36: Infiltrate and gain control of more unions&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 37: Infiltrate and gain control of big business&lt;/p&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;No. 40: Discredit the family as an institution.

paunchy and his hair was falling fast, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;In his exploits with his buddies, they were heroes everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And though sometimes to his neighbors, his tales became a joke, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;All his legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;But we'll hear his tales no longer, for old John has passed away, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;He'll not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;For he lived an ordinary and uneventful life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Newspapers tell their stories, from the time that they were young, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;But, the passing of a simple soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;A person who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Or the ordinary fellow, who in times of war and strife, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Goes off to serve his Country and offers his own life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;It’s so easy to forget them, for it was so long ago, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;That the "old Johns" of our country went to battle, but we know, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;It was not the politicians, with their promises and ploys, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;But, his presence should remind us, we may need his like again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Is to clean up the troubles, that others often start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;If we cannot give him honor, while he's here to hear the praise, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Then at least, let's pay him homage at the ending of his days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Perhaps a simple notice, in the paper that would say,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span

The current illegal immigration law passed by Arizona is right on target.   The liberal's objections has gone too far (as usual).   Not only does Arizona have every right to pass a law in support of (and a near copy of) Federal immigration law but the state has an obligation to protect the citizens of Arizona and the United States from illegal and unlawful activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yes, it is ILLEGAL and UNLAWFUL to enter the United States from another country (this includes Mexico) without proper papers and authorization.   Can you imagine what would happen to you if you went to Mexico and demanded to be allowed to stay there without papers!   Can you say 'JAIL'?   Can you say 'DEPORTATION'?   And then to have the President of a foreign country come to the US and speak in the US Congress AGAINST the Arizona law, AND to be applauded and cheered by the liberal Democrats.    I am nearly beside myself, watching this country being thrown away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And none of these critics have bothered to read the ten or so pages of the Arizona law.   A law which strictly prohibits racial profiling and prohibits stopping ANYONE for just a suspicion of being here illegally.   There MUST BE another violation for the stop or detainment.   I am not racist but this current, over the top disregard, in your face opposition to US law has brought me to the point of wanting to tell all Mexicans to go home.   I don't mean actual American Mexican legal citizens but those here on visas, travel, vacation, business AND illegally- GO HOME.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And my advice to American citizens who might be thinking of going to anywhere in Mexico, don't go!   Do not give your financial support to a country that is undermining your own.   Do not go to a country where you risk the loss of your property or even death from the hands of Mexicans who don't give a damn about you.   All they want to do is take, take, take!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My hat is off to Arizona and I will boycott any state or city that boycotts Arizona.   If Los Angeles really meant their boycott, they would refuse to use any more electricity that they get from Arizona (25%).   And I intend to promote the State of Arizona as a good business partner and a great travel destination.   And to all Arizonians reading this-good for you!   Stick to you convictions.   I only wish and hope that other states will follow your leadership in this fight against illegal immigration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Arizona is #1 in my book right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-4464645638495695348?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/4464645638495695348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/05/arizona-is-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4464645638495695348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4464645638495695348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/05/arizona-is-1.html' title='Arizona is #1'/><author><name>David M.

A lot was revealed last week but even more is to come.   Learn what the Liberals and Progressives want others to think of you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It was openly revealed when Bill Clinton spoke out and compared supporters of the Tea Party to the likes of Timothy McVeigh.   This is just the start of and overly aggressive campaign to paint you as one of the angry militia types, even though you don't support or believe in that movement.   The liberals and progressives MUST discredit you and your ideals if they are to succeed.   They must silence you so others will fall in step with their Socialist movement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Even the likes of FOX hosts such as Neil Cavuto and Bill O'Reilly play into this charade.   When a guest comes on the show and accuses any opponent, particularly the Tea Party members, as being angry, the host never questions that assertion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I for one am not angry.   I am disappointed.   I am disheartened.   I am afraid (for our country).   But I am not surprised.   I knew what Obama was before he was elected.   And I am not angry.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What I am is determined.   I am determined to speak out.   I am determined to stand up.   I am determined to vote for those who will support our Constitution and preserve out country.   I am determined to remove those from office who would fundamentally change our country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So the next time someone asks if you're angry, just answer them by saying you're determined.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Watch the only two sided network, FOX News and see the build up towards making you and me into some sort of whacked out nut bent on destroying the government.   They've already accused Glenn Beck of the crime of sedition because he speaks out.   There will be more liberal and progressive attacks on public figures that you follow or listen to.   All in an effort to silence you and make you believe that you are really the evil person, not the socialist cause which we are fighting against.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7885626781782390610?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7885626781782390610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/04/effort-to-silence-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7885626781782390610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7885626781782390610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/04/effort-to-silence-you.html' title='An Effort to Silence YOU'/><author><name>David M.

This is just one of many efforts by Obama to take control of your entire life. Read this and then think of all the other plans he has. Do you see the pattern? Do you feel that you are losing control of your life's decision making process?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" &gt;If you consider it the governments job to take care of and make decisions for you, then Obama's your man. However, if you want to make those choices yourself, then you better wake up and take a stand now, or lose the choice forever. Once a freedom is lost, it cannot be regained. It will be up to later generations to find ways to get their freedom back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" &gt;And for those who didn't read the health care bill or had to wait until it was passed to see what was in it.........here is some of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="byline"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;By &lt;a href="http://www.investors.com/Search/SearchResults.aspx?source=filterSearch&amp;amp;Ntt=David+Hogberg&amp;amp;Nr=AND%28Author%3aDavid+Hogberg%29"&gt;David Hogberg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span&gt;Posted 03/25/2010 05:37 PM ET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;                                                                      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="ctl00_ctl00_secondaryContent_leftContent_mpnlQuickTools" class="quickTools" style="display: none; text-align: justify;"&gt;                                                                          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;                     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;If some reports are to be &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703775504575135440191025592.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories"&gt;believed&lt;/a&gt;, the Democrats will pass the Senate health care bill with some reconciliation changes later today. Thus, it is worthwhile to take a comprehensive look at the freedoms we will lose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Of course, the bill is supposed to provide us with security. But it will result in skyrocketing insurance costs and physicians leaving the field in droves, making it harder to afford and find medical care. We may be about to live Benjamin Franklin's adage, "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The sections described below are taken from HR 3590 as agreed to by the Senate and from the reconciliation bill as displayed by the &lt;a href="http://rules.house.gov/"&gt;Rules Committee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. You are young and don't want health insurance? You are starting up a small business and need to minimize expenses, and one way to do that is to forego health insurance? Tough. You have to pay $750 annually for the "privilege." (Section 1501)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. You are young and healthy and want to pay for insurance that reflects that status? Tough. You'll have to pay for premiums that cover not only you, but also the guy who smokes three packs a day, drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off the floor. That's because insurance companies will no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a person's health status. (Section 2701).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3. You would like to pay less in premiums by buying insurance with lifetime or annual limits on coverage? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer such policies, even if that is what customers prefer. (Section 2711).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;4. Think you'd like a policy that is cheaper because it doesn't cover preventive care or requires cost-sharing for such care? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer policies that do not cover preventive services or offer them with cost-sharing, even if that's what the customer wants. (Section 2712).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;5. You are an employer and you would like to offer coverage that doesn't allow your employees' slacker children to stay on the policy until age 26? Tough. (Section 2714).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;6. You must buy a policy that covers ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services; chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.&lt;br /&gt;You're a single guy without children? Tough, your policy must cover pediatric services. You're a woman who can't have children? Tough, your policy must cover maternity services. You're a teetotaler? Tough, your policy must cover substance abuse treatment. (Add your own violation of personal freedom here.) (Section 1302).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;7. Do you want a plan with lots of cost-sharing and low premiums? Well, the best you can do is a "Bronze plan," which has benefits that provide benefits that are actuarially equivalent to 60% of the full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan. Anything lower than that, tough. (Section 1302 (d)(1)(A))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;8. You are an employer in the small-group insurance market and you'd like to offer policies with deductibles higher than $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for families? Tough. (Section 1302 (c) (2) (A).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;9. If you are a large employer (defined as at least 50 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes). Think you know how to better spend that money? Tough. (Section 1513).&lt;br /&gt;10. You are an employer who offers health flexible spending arrangements and your employees want to deduct more than $2,500 from their salaries for it? Sorry, can't do that. (Section 9005 (i)).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;11. If you are a physician and you don't want the government looking over your shoulder? Tough. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to use your claims data to issue you reports that measure the resources you use, provide information on the quality of care you provide, and compare the resources you use to those used by other physicians. Of course, this will all be just for informational purposes. It's not like the government will ever use it to intervene in your practice and patients' care. Of course not. (Section 3003 (i))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;12. If you are a physician and you want to own your own hospital, you must be an owner and have a "Medicare provider agreement" by Feb. 1, 2010. (Dec. 31, 2010 in the reconciliation changes.) If you didn't have those by then, you are out of luck. (Section 6001 (i) (1) (A)).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;13. If you are a physician owner and you want to expand your hospital? Well, you can't (Section 6001 (i) (1) (B). Unless, it is located in a county where, over the last five years, population growth has been 150% of what it has been in the state (Section 6601 (i) (3) ( E)). And then you cannot increase your capacity by more than 200% (Section 6001 (i) (3) (C)).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;14. You are a health insurer and you want to raise premiums to meet costs? Well, if that increase is deemed "unreasonable" by the Secretary of Health and Human Services it will be subject to review and can be denied. (Section 1003)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;15. The government will extract a fee of $2.3 billion annually from the pharmaceutical industry. If you are a pharmaceutical company what you will pay depends on the ratio of the number of brand-name drugs you sell to the total number of brand-name drugs sold in the U.S. So, if you sell 10% of the brand-name drugs in the U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2.3 billion, or $230,000,000. (Under reconciliation, it starts at $2.55 billion, jumps to $3 billion in 2012, then to $3.5 billion in 2017 and $4.2 billion in 2018, before settling at $2.8 billion in 2019 (Section 1404)). Think you, as a pharmaceutical executive, know how to better use that money, say for research and development? Tough. (Section 9008 (b)).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. The government will extract a fee of $2 billion annually from medical device makers. If you are a medical device maker what you will pay depends on your share of medical device sales in the U.S. So, if you sell 10% of the medical devices in the U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2 billion, or $200,000,000. Think you, as a medical device maker, know how to better use that money, say for R&amp;amp;D? Tough. (Section 9009 (b)).&lt;br /&gt;The reconciliation package turns that into a 2.9% excise tax for medical device makers. Think you, as a medical device maker, know how to better use that money, say for research and development? Tough. (Section 1405).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;17. The government will extract a fee of $6.7 billion annually from insurance companies. If you are an insurer, what you will pay depends on your share of net premiums plus 200% of your administrative costs. So, if your net premiums and administrative costs are equal to 10% of the total, you will pay 10% of $6.7 billion, or $670,000,000. In the reconciliation bill, the fee will start at $8 billion in 2014, $11.3 billion in 2015, $1.9 billion in 2017, and $14.3 billion in 2018 (Section 1406).Think you, as an insurance executive, know how to better spend that money? Tough.(Section 9010 (b) (1) (A and B).)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;18. If an insurance company board or its stockholders think the CEO is worth more than $500,000 in deferred compensation? Tough.(Section 9014).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;19. You will have to pay an additional 0.5% payroll tax on any dollar you make over $250,000 if you file a joint return and $200,000 if you file an individual return. What? You think you know how to spend the money you earned better than the government? Tough. (Section 9015).&lt;br /&gt;That amount will rise to a 3.8% tax if reconciliation passes. It will also apply to investment income, estates, and trusts. You think you know how to spend the money you earned better than the government? Like you need to ask. (Section 1402).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;20. If you go for cosmetic surgery, you will pay an additional 5% tax on the cost of the procedure. Think you know how to spend that money you earned better than the government? Tough. (Section 9017).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Your part now is to get out the vote and make some major changes in Congress.    As we in Massachusetts know, every vote can count.   This has to be spread throughout the country and get every voter registered and to the polls in November.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-3613348299891145841?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/3613348299891145841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/04/freedom-lost-to-obamacare.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/3613348299891145841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/3613348299891145841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/04/freedom-lost-to-obamacare.html' title='Freedom Lost to Obamacare'/><author><name>David M.

All of the videos I have here are actual footage to the best of my knowledge.   Again, it was Glenn Beck who brought this into the public spotlight on his program yesterday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Listen and watch these and form your opinion.   If it's like mine, you'll be disgusted that this man perpetrated his fraud upon 63% of Americans to gain his position.   What's even worse is that 63% were gullible enough to fall for his crap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;First, from September 20, 2009, a TV interview with George Stephanopoulus: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyMOHE8E7Ik"&gt;Acorn Question&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Then this from one of his first campaign speeches in December of 2007: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmn4ptXu21Y"&gt;Acorn Meeting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And then this interview while he was a US Senator: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFSY2dnTSZQ"&gt;Acorn Interview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And finally this interview by CNN as the presidential candidate: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jPJwu3wUcU"&gt;Acorn Candidate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;He actually laughs at the last question and says his relationship with Acorn was 13 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;OH, really?&lt;br /&gt;So now, Acorn is changing it's name.   They got caught and their name association is bad for the President.   But it will be the same leaders and members involved.   And they will still have the President to support them.   And they will still be providing input into the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you really say you believe or trust this liar now?   We must do everything we can to prevent the Obama agenda from destroying our country.   Only a change in the Congress can stop him and we can do this at the voting booth in 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stand up, speak out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;02-23-10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-5333682015919255672?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/5333682015919255672/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/another-obama-fraud.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5333682015919255672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5333682015919255672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/another-obama-fraud.html' title='Another Obama Fraud'/><author><name>David M.

And I am impressed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Conservative Political Action Conference was yesterday and they had Glenn Beck as their keynote speaker.   C-SPAN covered the conference and speech and it is presented here without comment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Just superb.   It was an hour long eye opening speech.   It was a speech that every true American should hear.   Probably one of the memorable points that Glenn Beck made was "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;we need less Marx and more Madison&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;".   This of course referring to the writer of our Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You must find the time to listen to this.   It is an hour long and plays in six segments.   Or you can copy the audio and play it in your car.   Just  take the time now because our future depends on your knowledge of the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;We learn from our mistakes and our leaders are ignoring the past mistakes and taking us down the wrong path.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.therightscoop.com/"&gt;Glenn Beck at CPAC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc9933; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #996633; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2-21-10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-8106940569847339245?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/8106940569847339245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/glenn-beck-at-cpac.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/8106940569847339245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/8106940569847339245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/glenn-beck-at-cpac.html' title='Glenn Beck at CPAC'/><author><name>David M.

As I have said before, stand up, speak out.   This document is not professing the need for a new party or a radical change.   But instead a return to our roots and the principals of our founders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The people who signed this want it to be the compelling force, along with the participants in the Tea Party movement, that moves the Republican party back to the conservative values it was founded upon.   This is not a radical movement, except in the eyes of those progressive liberals who wish to control every facet of our lives and those who wish to rid the United States of the limits imposed by the Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Our founders were smart enough to realize that the power of government could become too over bearing and controlling.   That is why there are limits placed on the Federal government in the Constitution and why it retains those rights for the people or the States.   Read the Constitution and Bill of Rights.   Know what your rights are and the limits of government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2-18-10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7890415283125252081?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7890415283125252081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/mount-vernon-statement.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7890415283125252081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7890415283125252081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/mount-vernon-statement.html' title='Mount Vernon Statement'/><author><name>David M.

It's been a lie all along and one of the chief scientific  perpetrators has admitted that there is no evidence of substantial global warming over the last 15 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I believe this has been known by most all of the lead proponents of this hoax such as AlGore and his ilk.   Why do you think they have changed the buzz words to "climate change"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And the said "scientists" have provided documentation that the warming period 600 years ago was greater than now.   How can this be?   There were no factories to cause it.   There were no automobiles.   There were less people.   Could it be just a naturally occurring event?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Most certainly!   Climate change has occurred since the earth was formed.   We know of the different ice ages and glaciers periods of eons past.   This was all natural, a part of the universe's ever changing events.   It was in the 1970's that scientists predicted the coming ice age.   That never happened.   Then in the 1990's the global warming threat.   Which also never occurred.   This hype is all just a bandwagon for fear mongers to jump on in order to attempt to control more of our life and try to make us live in a way that "they" dictate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My hope is that more people will come to realize that there are some who want to control everything in our lives.   And that the people will finally throw off their blinders and open their eyes to the truth.   Do not let yourself be led down the path of submission to these controllers.   It is you who will decide your destiny.   It is you who will have to fight for your freedom and your right to live your life the way you want to live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2-18-10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-5804695547958661608?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/5804695547958661608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/truth-on-global-warming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5804695547958661608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5804695547958661608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/truth-on-global-warming.html' title='Truth on Global Warming'/><author><name>David M.

The group has received limited attention from the news media with the exception of FOX.   Yesterday they held a meeting in Nashville for the purpose of bringing together some national leaders and to add impetus to the movement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Although the Tea Party wasn’t the primary organization responsible for the recent victory in Massachusetts, its purpose was surely demonstrated.   As the “Shot heard ‘round the world” in April of 1775 at the old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts was the beginning of a new nation; the “Scott heard ‘round the world” in the election in January of 2010 signals the return of the government to the people, by the people and for the people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;From the convention yesterday, there was one video that was covered by C-SPAN without any commentary.   The speech by Sarah Palin offered some provocative thoughts and true insight into today’s government takeover and out of control spending.   Gov.

I always knew Haiti was an impoverished country with a dictator in charge.   But now that we, the US, has offered a helping hand, not just the money we’ve poured into the country in years past, it would seem that there should be some gratitude.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Our volunteers are being treated as second class help.   The citizens of Haiti have been indoctrinated by the UN and French workers to dislike and even hate Americans.   The letter below clearly illustrates this.   This is not just an aid worker, but a retired police officer, who was trained in the law and in helping others.   His experience should open all of our eyes, as it did mine.   I concur with the writer that we should think twice before giving our hard earned cash to a corrupt government.   And we should also take notice how our military and volunteers were treated by the Haitian government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Please read the following letter as it shows what is truly going on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Part of correspondence from two retired San Diego police officers who volunteered in Haiti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;To All,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;   Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact. Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble.  There are easily 200,000 dead, the city smells like a charnel house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti American. Most are French or french speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1,800 rescuers were ready willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID ( another organization full of little OBamites and communists that openly speak against America) These two organizations exemplared their parochialism by:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;  Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;  Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn't release a drop of it to the rescuers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;  No latrine facilities, less digging a hole if you set up a crapper everyone was trying to use it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I watched a 25 year old Obamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird (0-6) Colonel in the Air Force, because he countermanded her orders, whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern.  " You don't know what your president wants! The military isn't in charge here..... we are!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don't waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans. Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn't need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc. That's not just my opinion , that is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. "The French run the UN......treat us the same as when we were a colony....., at least Papa Doc ran the country."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US Airways home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a $590 baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn't give us a discount or she would lose her job. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This letter should open your eyes to the waste we expend each year in the UN (a worthless organization) and in unappreciated aid we give across the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stand up, speak out, and don’t let them drive this country into a 3rd rate nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-6-10&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-6148284561656497614?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/6148284561656497614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/haiti-unappreciated-aid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6148284561656497614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6148284561656497614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/haiti-unappreciated-aid.html' title='Haiti Unappreciated Aid'/><author><name>David M.

This is just plain obscene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;WE now owe the same amount as we make as a country.   This is just not sustainable.   China now has its hooks into us and we must act now to get away from a foreign takeover.   What, you don’t think there would be any takeover?   You don’t think that Communist China would like to control every day of your life.   You bet they want to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The government labor force has now grown to the largest it’s ever been.   And the largest group of labor union members is in the US Government.   That means we will, be forever burdened by a labor union force of government employees.   Have you ever tried to get rid of a union employee?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And as we turn to China for more money to cover our debt, we will become a 2nd level nation.   We will no longer be the #1 country.   Our ability to provide food and assistance around the world will be gone.   Again, we need to look at history.   History does repeat itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Before WWI, Great Britain was the world power.   She had the biggest Navy and the sun never set on the British Empire.   Then came WWI and the British asked for our help.   President Wilson, the great progressive, sent money.   He wasn’t going to be involved in “their” problems.   Britain asked again and Wilson sent more money, all as a loan.   Britain became indebted up to it’s hilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This continued for 3 years until Wilson was barely able to get re-elected.   One month later we declared war on Germany.   We sent soldiers to die in Flanders Fields and when it was all over, England was broke.   She lost her world status and the empire was slowly let go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The United States has never wanted to become a world wide property owner, but we have used our number one status to help others.   We are on the very brink of losing all that and seeing our Constitution decimated.   In the months to come I will bring you more information on these attacks from within.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Can you not see the similarity.   We are in a financial mess, low employment, debt equaling our income, involved in overseas war and assistance programs worldwide.   China has always taken advantage of a situation involving the under dog and our debt to China will only encourage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Did you even know that the government has stopped it's surveillance of China operatives (spies) here in the US?   China was not willing to continue loaning us money if we continued this surveillance.   And our government needs their money so it gave in to the demand.   They will not stop here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Remember, it is only you that can save our country and the Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-4-10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-5951279523731701768?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/5951279523731701768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/debt-labor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5951279523731701768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/5951279523731701768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/debt-labor.html' title='Debt &amp; Labor &amp; Takeover'/><author><name>David M.

Not all of Hollywood is blinded by the self proclaimed king.&lt;br /&gt;Please read this and pass it along.   We will not let our country fall to this self proclaimed messiah.   And you will never see this editorial in any of the regular news outlets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The president without a country &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Pat Boone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;"We're no longer a Christian nation." - President Barack Obama, June 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;" America has been arrogant." - President Barack Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;"After 9/11, America didn't always live up to her ideals."- President Barack Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;"You might say that America is a Muslim nation."- President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president. I keep wondering what country he believes he's president of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale's "The Man without a Country," a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, "Damn the United States!  I wish I might never hear of the United States again!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: "You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again.. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country's naval vessels - under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan's dying hours in his small stateroom - now turned into a shrine to the country he fore swore - never fail to bring me to tears.  And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America , refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president - a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white - I want to ask him, "Just what country do you think you're president of?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;You surely can't be referring to the United States of America , can you? America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception! Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It's because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;You studied law at Harvard, didn't you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago ? Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark "Federalist Papers": "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers - and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation - to select and prefer Christians for their rulers"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: "Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900's that echoed and reinforced these views and intentions? Did you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a "wall of separation between church and state" was used to deny some specific religious expression - contrary to Jefferson ' s intent with that statement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Or, wait a minute . Were your ideas about America 's Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Is that where you got the idea that " America is no longer a Christian nation"? Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that " America has been arrogant"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Even if that's the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of "not always living up to her ideals," how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be "considered a Muslim nation"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Is it because there are some 2 million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians? Does that make us, by any rational definition, a "Muslim nation"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Why are we not, then, a "Chinese nation"? A "Korean nation"? Even a "Vietnamese nation"? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you're trying to make is a religious one, why is America not "a Jewish nation"? There's actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution - and the success of our Revolution and founding - owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Have you stopped to think what an actual Muslim America would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran ? Even in Egypt ? You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Shariah law. Can't you?

If you consider yourself the president of a people who are "no longer Christian," who have "failed to live up to our ideals," who "have been arrogant," and might even be "considered Muslim" - you are president of a country most Americans don't recognize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Could it be you are a president without a country?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is correctly attributed to Pat Boone by Snopes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-3-10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7616915895049974914?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7616915895049974914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/following-is-editorial-written-by.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7616915895049974914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7616915895049974914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/following-is-editorial-written-by.html' title='A True Christian'/><author><name>David M.

He blames the Republicans for not bending and meeting his demands.   However he ignores the wishes of the people in the voting booth.   He blames the Republicans for not taking his message to the people and getting them to agree to the Obama agenda.   He doesn't even acknowledge that it was the Democrats who shut the Republicans out of their talks and meetings about the final health care bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Obama just doesn’t understand, or at least ignores the fact,  that in our democracy it is the people that tell the government what to do, not the other way around.   Many people, citizens of the USA, will denounce what I write and present below.   But it is you that must use your own mind and analyze the facts as they are presented.   The facts are clearly shown in Obama’s own words on numerous videos and in his books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Remember, Hitler came into the government and gained popularityin the early 1930’s, long before he started WWII.   He was adored by the people during a time of great financial hardship.   This is not to say that Obama will undertake the murderous role of Hitler, but the other traits of Socialism are clearly present.   And look at the followers and Czars Obama has hired for his government and programs.      Do you remember the close support staff that Hitler had?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hitler was a narcissist as is Obama.   Self adoration with complete disregard of the people’s views is clearly present in both individuals.   You should be very afraid of where Obama is taking this country.   Do you think the German people would have so blindly followed Hitler if they knew where he was headed?   Just remember, history repeats itself.   And they who forget history, are doomed to repeat it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The following video also illustrates many of these similar traits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHa21UCtNYg"&gt;Parallels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-31-10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-8076170681178465849?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/8076170681178465849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/parallels.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/8076170681178465849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/8076170681178465849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/parallels.html' title='Parallels'/><author><name>David M.

Including false info about his record.&lt;br /&gt;She pledges to follow in the footsteps of Kennedy and protect his legacy.   She fully intends to vote for the enormous health care bill and additional federal taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She took a couple days this week to go to Washington, DC to promote her campaign and get the Democratic money machine behind her in Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;Obama team members have also put their efforts into the Massachusetts race to promote Coakley.&lt;br /&gt;It is now said that if Scott Brown wins the election, the Democrats in the state legislature may not certify him until after the health care vote is completed in DC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Scott Brown has remained in the state to continue his campaign and get out to the voters.   Scott Brown will represent the majority of citizens in Massachusetts and will not support the ongoing expansion of the federal government by Obama.   He will be the only Senator able to put a halt to this exorbitant health care fiasco.   We cannot afford to have the cuts in Medicare that is in the bill.   Our children will not be able to pay for all the costs in the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what you do in the next week, get out and vote for Scott Brown!   Do not let this opportunity disappear.    For the first time in over 20 years, Massachusetts citizens can have a balanced representation in the US Senate.&lt;br /&gt;We have already voted for Scott Brown by absentee ballot.   You can do this too.   Go down to your town or city hall clerk's office and vote now.   It's a very easy process and you won't have to wait in a line at the polls or worry about it snowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-13-10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-9116485623075811469?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/9116485623075811469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/scott-brown-voters.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/9116485623075811469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/9116485623075811469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/scott-brown-voters.html' title='Scott Brown Voters'/><author><name>David M.

All this week, on the Glenn Beck show 5PM EST he will present his final case of the radical Obama government and Obama’s plans for YOUR future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;If you want to be really informed about this government with its hidden agendas, then watch and learn this week.   Obama conned the American people when he said he wanted a transparent government.   He has done exactly the opposite of that.   Numerous meetings behind closed doors at the White House and Capitol with only key Democrats allowed in.   Even this week, the House under Pelosi is conducting closed door (secret) meetings to figure out how to force the health care plan onto the American people, and NO news media allowed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This health care bill is the most radical change in US government ever undertaken.   It WILL affect EVERY American and burden your children and grandchildren with heavy costs.   Obama IS “ fundamentally transforming” (his words) not only the government, but our nation.   When he is done, you will not recognize this country anymore.   We will no longer be a world power and we will be subject to the government’s control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And for those of you in Massachusetts, you have a unique opportunity in January to make a difference in your representation in the US Senate and in the country.   You can get out and vote for the Republican, Scott Brown, to replace Kennedy’s seat and give Massachusetts citizens a balanced vote at the Capitol.   You must take action and VOTE for this to work.   Tell everyone you know to vote and make their voices heard at the ballot box.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And remember to watch Glenn Beck this week and be informed.   Stand up, speak out and VOTE!   It’s your life, your children’s lives and your grandchildren that we are trying to save this country for.   FOX news 5PM EST, where the facts are presented and have never been disproved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-5-10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-449411307215770592?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/449411307215770592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/foxs-glenn-beck.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/449411307215770592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/449411307215770592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/foxs-glenn-beck.html' title='FOX&apos;s Glenn Beck'/><author><name>David M.

It is actually the Cap &amp;amp; Trade bill that will devastate our businesses.   It is this bill that the Obama’s administration is using the EPA to force passage, or else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And it appears that  the e-mail I sent yesterday about congress being exempt from health care is false when it was written in August.    However, Congress is still allowed to keep their taxpayer funded exclusive insurance plan for the rest of their life.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And keep in mind that this so called health care bill is not completed.   Much of the negotiations are currently taking place behind closed doors without any Republicans being allowed in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is not a health care plan for the people.   It is a government planned takeover of our lives.   It should be so obvious with the removal of $500 million from the Medicare program alone that this is a disaster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And what do you think is going to happen when small businesses decide that their employees can get a government run plan.   They will drop insurance coverage for their employees and let them go on the federal plan.   And then when the government decides the costs are too great and some benefits have to be cut, the employee is put into a rationing system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Don't want to believe that?   Name me one program that the government has run that was successful.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Post Office?   Nope, their in debt up to their neck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;AMTRACK?  Nope, they're losing money every week they stay in operation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Medicare?   Millions of dollars in fraud there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do you realize that the federal government is still subsidizing the electrification of rural areas which was started in 1935 to help the people of the Tennesse valley area.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Once the government gets it's hook into you, they will never let go and you will no longer have control of your life.

This is hard to define, compared to the likes of Al Gore and Jimmy Carter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But when you listen to Obama’s acceptance speech, you will find why this definition is easy.   During the speech, Obama used the word “America” to describe our country a total of 15 times.   Only twice did he mention the United States of America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Why do you suppose he did this?   Unconsciously? Not hardly.   He is proclaimed to be one of the best speech makers that ever held office.   Why didn’t he mention the United States more often?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Simple.   The United States is linked to a world important document; the constitution.   Obama would like nothing better than to skirt many of the restrictions in the Constitution.   By using the America reference, it puts us back into an era before the constitution.   If he repeats it enough times, in enough speeches, the people will soon believe it.   He wants the people, not only of the United States, but of the world to rid themselves of the notion that the constitution is a controlling document of the country currently known as the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Obama wants to be a creator of the new world government.   The United States is a detriment to this.   The old “America” however can be molded to fit into his concept.   What do you think the government takeover of health care is all about.   Obama’s apologies to all the countries of the world, for alleged past transgressions of the Untied States, also fit into this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;All of his actions towards this end will be forced upon the citizens of the United States, whether they like it or not.    Do you need proof?   Look at the development this week of the Cap &amp;amp; Trade program legislation that is in congress for a vote.   Obama’s administration has told congress that if they don’t pass this legislation than the EPA will take action, based on their newly created regulations, to regulate businesses.   Does this sound like Chicago politics to you?   Damn right it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And this is just the start.   Look at all the Czars Obama has surrounded himself with.   They preach about creating a new world order (their words) and that the “force of government” will make the changes required.   Remember “Hope and Change”?   This is part of his change.   It was Obama’s own words that he wants to “fundamentally change” the United States of America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In summation, here is a person who has done nothing to earn the peace prize, except to apologize for anything  and everything he can think of.   And to work towards the government takeover of all aspects of life.   And who continues to do nothing but travel the world over making appearances and speeches.   It took him over three months to decide what support to give the troops.   He will be remembered as the one president who worked to make the United States a third world country.   The peace prize has become a joke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12-10-09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-4609793469677816838?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/4609793469677816838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/undeserving-nobel-prize.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4609793469677816838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/4609793469677816838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/undeserving-nobel-prize.html' title='Undeserving Nobel Prize'/><author><name>David M.

And our President is also not a Christian.  What is to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;be expected when those in office are not believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;The Word, The Bible states Laodicea is naked, wretched, blind and cannot see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;The Blind (Spiritually blind) will lead the blind and both will fall in the ditch.   Scripture is being fulfilled and only those who are in tune with what is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;being revealed in the Bible will see what is happening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Many American's have left God out of their lives, and one day we will be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;infiltrated by the Russians in a physical war, and the Anti-Christ will cause&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;a great spiritual war also.  People cannot see that idol worship is one of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;the main things God hates the most.  Loving anything more than HIM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;That could be your wife, husband, child, car, sport, food, anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;The Bible states that it a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry GOD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;The true Christians will be persecuted like in the time the Pope put all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;the true believers, the protestants to death.  It will happen again in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;a much greater scale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;I wish many people around the Nations of the world could see the real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;cause of Nature rebelling, of the plagues, or the famine and death, is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;because they have LEFT GOD!   Politics and Religion have always been a main fight, including Scientific research .   Man is his own worst enemy, he fights himself.   Have you ever seen gorillas fight?  They pound their own chests to prove superiority.   I bet I can beat you, it's fierce to look at!  That is the way dictators look to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;God still has a people in the land who will not bow down to heathen worship,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;the people are not the problem, it is the system.  You give a man too much&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;power, a nation too much power and they take your rights away as a free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;moral agent in any form.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;How long will America be a FREE nation?  The signs, all of them show that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Jesus will come soon.  Just be ready at all times while you live, watch and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;pray and be vigilant against our real adversary, which of course is Satan, he&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;rules the nations, only the spiritual at heart know this is a fight that happened&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;in heaven and will end in total chaos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;The Bible states the World will burn and a new world come.   Many believe that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;it is for another time, another generation.  I believe it is for our time.   Only those&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;who study the Scriptures will believe what I write today, others will think me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;fanatical.   God has said many times, "Who will stand with me?"   It takes FAITH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;to believe in a God one cannot see, when so many believe in "seeing is believing."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in divers places, immorality on the rampage.   As it was in the time of Noah, so will it be at the end time.   I thank God daily that I have a pastor that preached the Truth no matter if it takes the skin off our backs.   Sin is sin, you're either for Christ or Satan, there is not a black or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;white neutral stand with God.   ALL or nothing, and He will take anything you give Him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;He says, He stands at the door (your heart) and knocks.   It's so simple to let Him rule.   Without His Holy Spirit (Ghost)  you are lost.   Keep the faith friends, look up, you redemption draws nigh, I believe the rapture is at hand.  I know a few of you are believers, I also know Jesus is giving us a wake up call.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And my answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;How very true!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Much has been written about Obama and his "christianity" however what isn't really well known is his devotion to the Muslim faith.   He has written in his own words, that if he has to ever make a decision involving the Muslim faith and some other faction, he will take the side of the Muslim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;How profound his own words are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It won't be the Russians who are the downfall of the USA.   And although China will contribute to the destruction of our country, the actual collapse will come from within.   Allowing Muslims access to the criminal justice system for acts of war and disregarding the Constitution in the name of "health care" and "climate changes" will be major factors in the loss of our freedoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Our nation was founded on Christian principals but Obama goes overseas and preaches to the multitude that "we" are not a Christian nation.   He can speak for himself, but he does not speak for me or the multitude of Christian Americans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Why is it that Obama has surrounded himself with his appointed Czars who are followers of Mao, Marx and the socialist way of life.   Since taking office, the Obama administration has ADDED 47,000 additional federal jobs to the US payroll.   He is building his camp and working towards a well staffed socialist government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do you remember the last person who did this not so long ago?   His name was Hitler and he conscripted and murdered millions of innocent people.   The one possible saving factor in all this is that millions of Americans are well armed and will not surrender their arms like the devoted Germans did.   And we will fight in the name of Christ to keep our country free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Thank you for sending me your message and giving me the opportunity to respond.   Hold onto the Christian faith and we will be strong and persevere over this unholy leader we have been burdened with.   I had always believed the anti-christ would come from the middle East, but he may very well be amongst us here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GGG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11-30-09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-7041286920909167130?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/7041286920909167130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-christian-nation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7041286920909167130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/7041286920909167130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-christian-nation.html' title='Our Christian Nation'/><author><name>David M.

Aren’t you troubled by the $300 million of our taxes promised to the senator from Louisiana if she voted for the bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What about the rationing of health care.    Their little secret got leaked this week when the government board responsible for health care issues reported that mammograms are not needed until age 50 now.   What!   The head of HHS said that board’s opinion won’t change anything.   Guess what, that board’s authority is written right into the health care bill and their decision WILL be the determining factor on health care issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And now another dirty little lie unveiled; global warming.   Yes we knew it was made up science but until today we didn’t have the proof.   Hidden documents and e-mails have been revealed stating just that.   Yes, the scientists (plural) who sounded the death knell for the world because of global warning, have been caught by their own lies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It was all made up, doctored figures, false assumptions.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;All NOT TRUE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So how else does this affect us?    This is exactly what the TARP bill was based on.   These falsehoods were the basis of the TARP bill’s passage.   The burdens placed on businesses and people by the TARP bill will be devastating and contribute towards the downfall of the USA.   Let alone the cost to taxpayers (you and me) to fund the provisions of TARP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do not sit still any longer.   Stand up, speak out.   Massachusetts citizens who vote will have a chance in January to replace the democrats stronghold.   It was the Governor of Massachusetts who appointed a democrat last month and it was this one vote that passed the health care bill onto the senate floor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When this country collapses, AND the NY Times even wrote today that we may be on the verge of collapse, I know I will be able to depend on three things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;God, Gold and Guns.   So when you read something in the future with GGG in it, it just might be from me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;"We shall all consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay them ourselves.

Yes, the US Government, via Obama's czars, will be telling you everything you need or don't need for the remainder of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you are following all of this.   Don't look for the three stooges networks to tell you anything about it.   Fox is the only network covering this "fundamental change to our country".   Anita Dunn, Obama's communication czar and the Mao Tse Tung follower, made it very clear.   Fox news is not up to their level like the other 3 networks.   She even went so far to publicly say that the Obama campaign made sure the news media only covered what the Obama team wanted them to report, nothing else, no questioning why or who or what, just report on what Obama says.   And they were successful, he was elected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, they are continuing that policy.   They already have the three other networks reporting ONLY what they want them to report.   Obama is afraid that FOX may lead them astray so he has his czars out there to put FOX down.   This weekend on two different talk shows, Axelrod on one and Emanuel on the other said almost word for word, the same thing. "Fox is NOT a news network.   They only push one point of view.   And we and the president will treat them like that."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has just announced that he is open to discussing a bailout for the newspapers in this country.   So then he will have the networks beholding to him, then the newspapers.   Conservative talk radio is under the gun and will be a subject of Obama's Fairness Doctrine (ha ha) in the near future.  And on this Thursday, Obama's cabinet will be deciding what to do about the Internet.   Yup, you guessed it.   Too many people on the Internet do not follow along with Obama's messages.   These people are actually making decisions and statements of their own and asking questions, and then publishing their remarks on the Internet for all to read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you ready?   If not, you better speak out, stand up and question everything.   Put it out on the Internet for all to read.   Do not let this Obama regime stifle your life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and by the way, Obama has instructed his NIH (National Institute of Health) to include Private ownership of guns in their health questionnaires.   A policy that was discontinued 10 years ago.   It isn't really that Obama thinks there is any connection between your health and your guns, but if the NIH can show some remote connection, your new government health policy premium costs will be based on how many guns you own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get ready Bubba, they's a'comin'.   You think prohibition was bad, just wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10/19/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-6559652771827862916?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/6559652771827862916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/are-you-ready.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6559652771827862916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6559652771827862916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/are-you-ready.html' title='Are You Ready'/><author><name>David M.

And three more American soldiers died while Obama twiddles his thumbs over whether to send more troops.   Obama flies while a soldier dies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama decision making process:   "Should I fly to Copenhagen with Oprah and Michelle or send them on ahead so I don't have to listen to them?"

(at our expense)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a time when he should be working on a decision for troop strength in Afghanistan, he's off again on another speech making mission to promote his home state city.   What does this have to do with the good of the whole country?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the time since Gen. McCrystal has been in charge in Afghanistan, Obama has only spoken to HIS general ONCE!  Yep, that's one time, 1, uno, etc.    With all his speech making, you'd think he could find time to talk to HIS general more than ONCE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or doesn't he think the issue is important enough.   Or better yet, is Obama not able to make the distinction and decisions required to lead this country.   Yup, you got it, door number 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And while we're on it, what do you think Obama's stand will be when it comes to Iran?&lt;br /&gt; Obama has already slammed Israel, even in his own words at the corrupt UN meetings, he said Israel should stop occupying lands.   Note, he did NOT say occupying NEW land, he said occupying period.   For a man who is a great speaker and who chooses his words carefully, watch his moves in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My prediction is that despite all his talk, Obama will not make a decision against Iran.   Remember, Obama wrote in his book, in his own words, that if he had to make a decision between Muslims and any others, he would always take the side of the Muslims.   These are his written words, not mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama will sit back, and when Israel has to take action and make a military strike against Iran to save Israel, Obama will privately wipe the sweat from his brow and say to himself, "Glad I didn't have to make that decision".   Of course he wouldn't have gone against Iran anyways.   And then Obama will publicly decry the brutal tactics of Israel and claim they should have talked some more or asked others for help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is from within that this country, our country, will be destroyed.   And the most liberal president in US history is doing it right now.&lt;br /&gt;Do not sit back and wait for someone to stop this.   You have to speak out, stand up and vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/28/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-2876424407203163260?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/2876424407203163260/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/wasted-expense-ignoring-general.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/2876424407203163260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/2876424407203163260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/wasted-expense-ignoring-general.html' title='Wasted Expense &amp; Ignoring the General'/><author><name>David M.

That's right folks, you won't recognize the USA in four years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/21/09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-3065361075817173641?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/3065361075817173641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/biased-hidden-agenda-lies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/3065361075817173641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/3065361075817173641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/biased-hidden-agenda-lies.html' title='Biased Hidden Agenda Lies'/><author><name>David M.

The destruction of our country and it's Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;And why are these other countries coming to power?   Because the US has given much of its production and creative ideas to the other countries.   We have been hoodwinked into believing we are a bad people and must give up our First Place ranking to these other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I am not burying my head in the sand but I fear much of our other countrymen are.   &lt;br /&gt;Why do I say that?   Just look at the people Obama has put in charge or he is setting up as his advisors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A self avowed communist who he has put in charge of the "green" movement  and who is an avid opponent  of capitalism. Van Jones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another man to oversee the "fairness doctrine" of the FCC who envisions the future of US airwaves to be like Venezuela and what Hugo Chavez has set up ( a government takeover). Mark Lloyd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former founder of the weather underground (along with Ayers) who is now in charge of distributing monies from the stimulus program.  Jeff Jones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on, but these are just some of the reasons I won't "bury my head in the sand" or stand by while our country is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many liberal ideals I could live with but the overthrow of the US Constitution is not one of them.   You will not see any of this information on CNN or the liberal stations.   They are still mesmerized by the messiah in his white castle.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to look and listen.   And when you do you find the people surrounding and advising Obama are what he is truly made of and what he believes.   That really scares me.&lt;br /&gt;"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." 7/2/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama’s advisor on health care,  said the big problem with medicine is the Hippocratic Oath, that doctors are too focused on doing everything for the patient. Doctors have to be more focused on the good of society and make decisions as to, "Hey, it's not worth treating this patient. We got three 70 year olds and the resources might be better spent on a 16-year-old who's sick, who's got a longer life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8/27/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7039830811580739078-6899585408038439446?l=conservativeleaning.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/feeds/6899585408038439446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/burying-my-head.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6899585408038439446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7039830811580739078/posts/default/6899585408038439446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conservativeleaning.blogspot.com/2010/02/burying-my-head.html' title='Burying My Head'/><author><name>David M.
