Barak Obama’s Brand of Change; what does he really propose? (Part 2)

In my last posting I put forth the real inferences in Barak Obama’s Mantra for “Change”; I put forth the analysis of Barak’s speech in Oregon on the Saturday before the Oregon Primary on Tuesday of this week. In this installment of the Minuteman Post I want to discuss Barak Obama’s proposal for our National Security.  When I reviewed his Homeland Security Fact Sheet for his Campaign Platform I was stunned. In all the blather and veiled generalities, I saw no specific real plan to “Keep America Safe.”

In reading and analyzing his first proposal “Bolster Emergency Preparedness”, there is no real or viable solution to this issue, yes there are references to utilizing the Homeland Security Budget properly, and insuring the budget is utilized where the need is. But a true monetary analysis and critique that would situate a real solution was not there, there was in fact no substance to what was being put forth as an issue. As a matter of fact all there was; was a critique that assumed there was some kind of problem; but no identification of any real solution. The so called solution Obama was touting sounded more like another excuse to tax the American People, and burden them even further with big Government. Although there was some sort of justification to such an agenda, with further veiled references to the 9/11 commission, and Katrina, in reference to some need for greater preparedness to future disasters. There was no real factual proof that there had not already been some sort of remedy in place to deal with future disaster preparedness; just the assumption that there was no remedy and that Obama was again in his grandiose self the savior of the American People, that we some how need him to right the many so called wrongs in America.  

I find this sort of thing to be dishonest and troubling as the Obama Campaign uses the veiled references to Katrina, and the 9/11 Commission to stir up old feelings of anger and fear towards the Republican Leadership with regards to 9/11 and the truly grotesque handling of the Katrina disaster by the Blanco Administration in the State of Louisiana democrats all; and Mayor Nagin of New Orleans also a Democrat. I will concede that the Department of Homeland Security was also inept but lets be truthful with regards to this whole matter, it was the Governor of Louisiana Kathleen Blanco who will go down in History as one of the Country’s most corrupt and inept Governor’s of all time especially with regards to how her administration handled Katrina.

As I read further I was struck by how there are references to some legislation that was passed by Obama to facilitate better disaster preparedness, but no where does he identify how or what that legislation has to do with real disaster preparedness other that to state that some how his passing of legislation makes him qualified to lead in this issue. I think not, no where does he actually quantify or qualify a real time plan that will actually facilitate disaster and anti-terrorism response plans, no where does he critique in detail the current system to prove it needs improvement. I am sure that it does need improvement, but Obama does not detail why, how, where, or what. Again just a bunch of Blah, Blah, Blah, to some how convince the ignorant Kool-Aid Drinkers that he is right for the job, but no substance.

As one continues to read more of the Obama Plan for Homeland Security, one comes away with the impression that Obama either thinks the American People are too stupid to really see through the lack of substance in his Homeland Security Plan, or that he can BS his way through his Campaign or both; either way this is very disturbing. As I read on, I noted that he discusses the need to protect critical infrastructure in our country. After making some snide remark about our Nations National Asset Database, Obama’s plan makes some veiled general reference to a meaningful infrastructure protection plan. As I read further Obama’s plan made reference to some legislation he worked on to secure our nations Chemical Plants, but never does he discuss with regards to the here and now, how he will actually facilitate securing our Nations Chemical Plants. It sounds to me that he is big on burdensome legislation but short on practical planning and executive execution of those plans.

Further in the Homeland Security Plan I read on how Obama again introduced legislation, with regards to our Nations nuclear waste from our Nuclear Facilities, more legislation but no significant plan to protect those same facilities. With out a significant plan to uphold any legislation that is passed, that same legislation is worthless. It seems Obama’s answer to everything is legislation, I do not see any legitimate executive qualifications, no real time planning, fiscal analysis, no management analysis, again nothing of substance just worthless jaw-jacking about his past accomplishments in the legislative arena. My question to the good Senator is “What have you done lately?” And as to your plan "Where is the beef?”

This journey through Obama’s Homeland Security Plan is tedious in the extreme. It is like trudging through a swamp of nonsense, and rhetoric, with no end in sight but to become mired in a beauracratic morass of Socialism and Maoist oppression for the American People. Though he does bring to attention some issues that do indeed need to be addressed; he still is lacking on any real substantive planning, fiscal accountability or execution of planning that will really work in a practical manner with regards to budget, manpower, resources, and executability. There seems to be no real plan that will be accountable to the American People as a whole. There seems to be no fiscal planning or budget to bring before WE THE PEOPLE, and to discuss how his so called Homeland Security Plan is to be paid for, and executed in a proper accountable manner.

It all has the smell of stagnancy and a demand for a blank check from us the American People, to Obama, his agenda, and his future administration, and those he deems as fit to lead. He is asking us to trust him with our hard earned tax dollars, our freedoms, and our future, with out having a substantive real time plan or method of execution that will be accountable to each and every one of you the American People. Obama, like every Liberal is long on rhetoric, short on real vision, and leadership. All one does see if they are a real thinking person with even one iota of commonsense, is Rhetoric and veiled references to issues and problems that are obvious; but no where is there anything but lack of accountability, lack of planning, lack of true responsibility to you the American People.

I submit to you that it is exactly this kind of thinking that has whittled away at our civil liberties that has allowed for Big Government to get bigger, and has created some of the real crisis issues we as a people face today. Issues such as the artificially high price of oil and fuel, continued taxation with out true and accountable representation, an artificially high cost of living, lack of real education in our schools, corruption and shame in the country’s highest places of public service, as well as in big business, indoctrination instead of education in our places of higher learning, serious problems with our border security, the ongoing threat of terrorism both here in the homeland and abroad. Most of today’s serious problems and issues have been due to the so called leadership or lack thereof from our members of Congress, and an administration that refuses to hold them truly accountable for what WE THE PEOPLE really need and want in this, Our Country. The previous political gamesmanship from past administrations, and members of Congress have also brought us to the place where we are as a country today.

There is however one place of truly frightening planning that betrays Obama’s true intentions. That is his very last tenant in his Homeland Security Plan. This is what Obama’s true intentions are and what he truly stands for.

“Restore Habeas Corpus: The right of habeas corpus allows prisoners to ask a court to determine whether they are being lawfully imprisoned. Recently, this right has been denied to those deemed enemy combatants.”

Obama wants to let the unlawful combatants the “Terrorists” in GuantanamoBay go. He wants to give them the same rights as a citizen of the United States of America has. He wants to mock and insult you the American People; by giving the same rights that you have, by giving those rights to those who have murdered your Sons and Daughters, who served to protect those your rights as afforded by the Constitution. These “Terrorist”, and make no mistake that is what they are; are not citizens of this country, they hate us they hate our freedoms; they hate everything we stand for. Yet some Bozo Liberal who does not really Love and appreciate this Great Nation or you the American People, wants to give them the same rights that you have so that if by the wheeling and dealing of some ACLU Attorney that same “Terrorist” can come back and kill you, your son, your daughters, and family.

America do you really want this man for President? Is this the “Change” you want?

 Barak Obama’s Brand of Change; what does he really propose?  ( Part1 )

Barak Obama says he is ready! The question is what is he ready for? I hear the Obama camp plug for change; I hear the chant from the Obama camp “Yes we can!” So then what is this change that Barak Obama and his surrogates are proposing? When the chants of yes we can rise up, what are they referring to? Let’s answer those questions, and let’s answer them with all candor, shall we?

In a campaign speech on Saturday, while in Oregon pandering to the far left environmentalist crowd, Barak Obama said the following:   "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

This Statement has deep inferences of severe Maoist undertones, the nightmare of wealth redistribution and social punishment for WE THE PEOPLE, seems to be the agenda here. It seems to be the inferred statement from Barak Obama, that the American People must be taught a lesson, after all it is very unfair that the American People can drive a SUV while most of those in the Third World, have no vehicle at all. According to Barak Obama, there must be a balance brought forth to the population of the American People, we must show our collective compassion and identify with the rest of the poor oppressed masses and lead from the front, we must go with out. Barak says just to balance things out, to be truly compassionate, we have to give up our air-conditioning as well, we are after all the leaders of the world economy, we should show some leadership and identify with the poor bushman out in the wilds of Africa, or the poor folks in the corrupt poor Third World countries. Obama’s inference is that as the worlds leader it is unconscionable that the American People should be able to eat as much as we want; we should go with out to identify with the starving masses and form our solidarity with the rest of the unfortunate Third World, in doing so we would truly show our Nation is a compassionate World Leader. Barak even becomes emphatic, and states that under his leadership, we will not drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times.

This is very troubling indeed; it seems that Barak Obama has learned well from his mentor and pastor Jeremiah Wright. He has indeed learned his lessons in Maoist Collectivism through decades of affiliations that espouse these insidious ideals. What is even more troubling is that he tries to cover up his espoused Maoist philosophies with double talk and the skilled rhetoric and subtlety that only a Harvard Lawyer could muster. As if that is not enough Barak Obama, the “good Senator” attempts to cover up his real agenda by blowing smoke in the ears of his Kool-Aid drinking supporters by touting the mantra of “Change”. Little do they know that the “Change” they are so enthralled with would be their true enslavement to the Liberal Elite Left.

The Liberal Elite Left will not give up their SUV’s, or their Lear Jets, or their armored limozines. They would tell each and every one of the American People that they have to make the sacrifice needed for real progress. All the while they would still live in their mansions that use enough energy to power a small town, their Air-conditioning would always be at a comfortable 72 degrees fahrenheit; in fact the similarities between Barak Obama and his hard left cronies taking power in America would be reminiscent Robert Mugabe and his rule in Zimbabwe. All of this of course would be dressed in the supreme deceptions of Global Warming, Americas so called addiction to oil, Sustainable Development, and other far left policies that are nothing more than monumental scams to rip-off the American People of their hard earned dollars and their basic Constitutional Rights of no taxation with out representation.

If you really want to have a scary read, take a look at Barak Obama’s Energy Policy; it reads better that a Stephen King horror novel. The Monster in this story is Barak Obama the dreaded Maoist Monster and his cronies, the vampires of freedom, truth, and The American Way; who bow down to the same far left Maoist Philosophy he worships and serves. The victims are you the American People if you do not wake up in time to prevent those same deceptive monsters from sucking the financial life right out of you. The hero’s are you the American People if you awaken before the Obama Abomination gets you. The way to wake up in time is to remember the Pain At The Pump, and at the grocery store, then Vote. Remember the 875 billion dollar International Poverty Tax written and signed by none other than Barak Obama, then Vote. Remember the dubious affiliations of Barak Obama, then Vote. Read the Story for your self, then Vote.

My Fellow Americans,

Greetings and thank you for your forbearance in this my continued series on Oil, Gasoline, And The Cost of Living. In my last blog regarding this issue I put forth the continued theme of personal political responsibility on a grassroots level. I also put forth some ideas of grassroots organizing. In this blog I will begin to address some of the real time issues around which We The People should organize. I will also discuss some of the structure of organization that will be required to make our voice heard.

As the price of oil, and fuel rise beyond our ability here in grassroots America to sustain our personal economic situations, I am reminded of the glib arrogant responses from our Liberal Democrat Senators and Congressional Representatives, as they insult us with letters and ridiculous e-mails regarding their work in Congress, and the so called solutions that they are working on. Unfortunately these so called solutions are nothing more than the same old stuff different day. They are nothing more than Liberal platitudes, to their special interest pimps, and their so called social conscience.

If these same Representatives of the People, really had a social conscience they would approach the problems that we face with an attitude of total accountability to We The People, instead of to their special interest overseer’s to whom they really owe their stay in office. We the people deserve better, and if you the American People will hear my call to you to demand better we will get it. Each and every one of you the American People must write your Senators and Congressional Representatives, as well as circulate a petition for a Constitutional Amendment that would establish a defined change in our energy policies and would demand the following:

·        A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress to open up ANWR The Pacific Coast and the GulfCoast for immediate development and drilling it is imperative that we exploit the oil and gas resources that are there to begin to bring up those supplies of oil and gas in our markets. These oil resources that we find and exploit must be for our Nation and only our Nation. Do not be polite about the matter either; with out this oil we will continue to see much more economic distress with regards to fuel, energy, and the cost of living in relation to the same.

·        A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress to build 15 new Super-refineries, in the following areas.

1.    2 Super-refineries in El Segundo CA to service Southern CA, Nevada, Arizona.

2.    2 Super-refineries in Newport NewsVA to service the South Eastern United States.

3.    4 Super-refineries in HoustonTexas to service the GulfCoast of the United States, and the whole of the South Central United States.

4.    2 Super-refineries in New Jersey to service the North Eastern United States.

5.    2 Super-refineries in Alaska at Pacific end of the Alaskan Pipeline, to service the Pacific Northwest, and the Northwestern United States.

6.    3 Super-refineries in Indiana, to service the whole of the North Central United States.

7.    Mandate that these refineries are built to meet environmentally sound standards, and that they produce oil products in an environmentally sound manner.

• A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress to renovate our Oil and Fuel Storage Facilities and Distribution Systems Nationwide.

• A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress to survey, develop and recover our nations Oil Shale deposits, and undeveloped Coal Reserves. To mandate environmentally sound methods of exploiting these resources, and use them. As well as mandate that these resources are reserved for the American People and only the American People.

• A Congressional Mandate to facilitate a 300% increase of purchased oil from Canada and to formulate the trade agreements needed to insure that we are able to purchase and bring that Oil to the United States. To assist Mexico in the development of their Oil infrastructure and to purchase oil and gas from them in the amount equal to our purchase from Canada and the Middle East combined, as well as formulating the needed trade agreements to facilitate the same. To purchase from Guyana, Brazil, and other Countries here in the Western Hemisphere, as well as assisting them in building and maintain their oil and gas infrastructure. A diplomatic mandate is also needed to overcome the cultural challenges and corruption that would be a hindrance to our energy needs.

• A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress to develop alternative forms of energy such as Building Water Desalinization Plants on both the West Coast and East Coast as well as on the GulfCoast of the United States. These plants would not only provide clean drinking water, but distilled water that can be used to provide an almost endless form of energy in the form Hydrogen, and Oxygen being burned to power steam turbines to make electricity. That our Solar, Nuclear, and Hydro-electric Power plants need to be updated and used more efficiently, as well as new Solar and Hydro-electric plants being built on an ongoing basis. We should slowly phase out Nuclear Power, as it is very dangerous, (Remember, 3 mile Island, and Chernobyl) as well as the fact that the spent fuel rods prove to be difficult to store.

• A Congressional mandate from both houses of Congress that will facilitate new research and development toward new energy sources and ways of utilizing them in responsible environmentally sound ways, that will work and that are reasonable.

• A Congressional Mandate from both houses of Congress that will strengthen the value of the U.S. currency, and increase our purchasing power domestically and overseas. Mandate the immediate overturn all taxes on oil and fuel products; give the Oil and Energy Corporations tax incentives to work at creating new affordable energy sources. Give the Oil and Energy companies government monies to work hand in hand with the Federal Government to come up with new sources of Oil and Gas as well as Coal, for our immediate use. Give these same companies the much needed money immediately to do the R&D necessary to come up with new types of energy resources for the future. Mandate that these projects have firm Congressional Oversight, and Senatorial Oversight.  

This plan and these mandates are very much needed now, as is the implementation and oversight of this plan. With out this complete and comprehensive plan We The People will continue to be oppressed by high fuel prices, and a high cost of living due to the same. There are some other matters that can be done as well in the area of tax reform that will help too. But it is obvious that this comprehensive energy plan is what is needed now. How then can We The People get our message across? We can call upon real men and women who love this country to assist in organizing us to do something that will have an impact, like push through this plan on a grassroots level and then recall every Congressman and Senator that waffles or does not support what we the people want. WE DESERVE THE GOVERNMENT WE ALLOW. What will you the American People allow in this critical time of our Nations History?

With Loving Respect to You

The American People

My Fellow Americans,

In Part One of this series the issue of political personal responsibility was addressed with regards to the current crisis of high oil and gasoline prices. In my previous blog on this matter, the call to the American People was made to rise up as One Man to make our voice heard through out this great Nation.

That Challenge is again put forth here for We The People, to rise up and put an end to the corruption in our halls of politics. There are those who are bitter and cynical who would say “What is the point; it will just be business as usual no matter what we say. What can we say or do that will make the difference?” My response is; that this is the very attitude and mentality that created the environment for We The People to get reamed in the first place.

The real solution to upending the monumental scam of sky high oil and gasoline prices lays with us the American People. It is up to us to say enough is enough, and to put an end to political circus that has oppressed the American People for far too long. It is time for us to act, and to act now! So then, what do we do? This is the question that we must answer immediately; the answer must be in the form of decisive action that sends a resounding message to our politicians and to the rest of the world.

Organize, Organize, Organize, this is the first step. Those of you who feel as I do that we will not be relegated to economic oppression by faithless political hacks that purport to represent our interests; but in fact represent their own interests and those that they have sold us out too; must take the lead. If you feel that your so called representatives in the Federal, State and Local governments have in fact misrepresented your interests. If you feel that these same representatives have instead have sold out to special interests and foreign interests; and in the doing have robbed you of your right to representation with integrity, representation with accountability, and representation with respect to your dignity, it is your responsibility to take the lead and organize.

It is you who have to sound the clarion call of “We The People, demand immediate accountability, and demand that our leaders quit representing the special interests and foreign interests over our interests.” Every one of you who have a conscience, who can speak, who can write, who can network, must take the time and the effort to turn around the liberal socialistic oppression of the far left agenda; and the foreign interests that seek to enslave you and your families to their deceit and corruption.

If you value liberty, truth and the American Way, you must speak out. You the American People must create the forum that will get your message across. Have not the far left done the same? Have they not organized, and lobbied and engaged in demagoguery to force their oppressive corrupt agenda, and their filth upon you the American People. Why is it that you suffer under the hand of the heavy burden of taxation with out real representation, artificially high prices in the market place? Why are more and more of your freedoms being taken from you right out from under your nose? Why do you have to tolerate unclean cultural morals being force fed to your children with out your consent?

The first part of the solution is that you must decide what you are willing to live with. You the American People must decide whether or not it is OK to live with artificially high oil and gas prices. You must decide if it alright to be so oppressed financially that you can not afford to send your children to college, or go to see your loved ones on vacation, or buy your spouse a special gift for their birthday. You must decide if it is OK to not be able to afford to go to your place of worship on Sunday because gas prices are too prohibitive. For some of you; you will have to be making a decision, whether or not you can feed your children decent food this next week. Because the cost of food is just too high, due to of the high price of fuel, and the high cost of food, stemming those same high fuel prices. What are you willing to live with?

Secondly you must decide how much you value your country, how much do you value your freedoms? If you truly value your country you will rise up and do something each and every day to secure this nation from the tyranny of the left, and those special interests and foreign interest they are in bed with. You the American People must purpose to be the Force of truth, and right, in your Nation. You must stand and guard this Nation as the watchmen on the walls of Liberty. You must guard this Nation from the packs of wild dogs on the liberal left that seek to devour your freedoms one at a time. Make no mistake after they have enslaved you, they will sell you out fully and completely to the foreign interests that they prostitute themselves out to daily. These same foreign interest have no better agenda than the complete and total demise of this great Nation and you the American People. They seek to destroy your sovereignty as a people, to redistribute the wealth that was given to you by God Almighty, as a responsibility to be a blessing all. These foreign interests seek to destroy you America. As you consider what is being said here keep in mind Myanmar, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, The Palestinian Territories, China, the list goes on, these repressive regimes are what they are because the people allowed it to be so. WILL YOU?

In summary, there are two things that must first be done, have a deep one on one with ourselves, and our conscience. We must ask ourselves what do really believe about this great Nation? What do we really value where this Nation is concerned? Do we only want the benefits with out the responsibilities? Or, do we believe in the tenants and philosophies of the founding fathers? Do we really believe in what our Founding Fathers believed in? Do we really value the blessing from God to all of mankind, and the nations of the earth, that has been, and is America The Beautiful?  What do We The People Really Believe about ourselves and this wonderful blessed Nation we call our own?

Secondly, when we have made up our minds that this country is worth fighting for, that it is worth the sacrifice of diligence and watchfulness, along with lawful radical action that says to all concerned “ Don’t Tread On Me, do so at your own risk!” I say to you the American People, Organize! Organize from the small towns and bergs of this Nation to the great cities we love. Organize every man woman and child that will stand with you to say to the status quo, enough is enough. Make your voice heard through the voice of many. Do not settle for what is on the ballot; make the ballot your forum. Make the media your megaphone; make the city council meetings and the county supervisors meetings your stump. Push through Constitutional Amendments from the grass roots level, from the heart and home of every red blooded American, those Amendments that will make right those things that are wrong in the halls of American Politics. As you Organize, take the time to educate yourselves and each other, stay aware then discuss the issues in an honest and forthright manner, do what is right for all of us, not just the elite few.

This America is your mandate, your place of responsibility, your sacred duty!
