That smell in Mo wasn't the output from the biodiesel plant that Obama visited today. No it was the foul stench of rhetoric by an administration that has proved themselves to be full of wind power.

After the Health Care control Bill, Obama has begun his journey of converting this nation into socialism. Next on his agenda?

Well, the regulation of the financial sector that caused the housing bubble. Never mind the fact that it was the regulations that forced banks to allow those who could not afford to purchase a home to get a home mortgage.

Other issues on his agenda, Immigration Reform. Now, I dont agree with Arizona's decision to become a "Show me you Papers" state, but I dont live there, and I most certainly do not have to go visit there any time soon. However, it is their right as a state to do as they will and up to the legal citizens of that state to deal with their legislators.

There will be no immigration reform. They will call it whatever they want, but we know it will be nothing more than AMNESTY. Hey, why not give amnesty to all lawbreakers who are just trying to make better lives for themselves?

Obama's other agenda's, too many to go over them all, but Cap & Trade, also known as Cap & Tax, Cap & Slave or energy regulations.

Genius idea, put the whole nation on a smart grid that has no viable protection against hackers. Some schoolboy in Asia or Russia will be able to shut the nation down while playing online games.

Now, if Obama wanted to do something besides smile and let out a lot of hot meaningless air, perhaps, he could get congress to lift the ban on growing hemp. Hemp is not a drug, but it is related to marijuana. It does produce far more biodiesel per pound than any other plant and it burns much cleaner and it grows in the most harshest of conditions.

The American people are tired of having a leader who is number one in wind power, they want a leader who will protect and defend the Constitution, they want a leader who will protect their liberties, they want a leader who can do more than smile pretty for the camera/

We will have to wait until 2012 for that issue to be resolved, unless of course someone comes up with the real obama birth certificate, in the meantime, we have the 2010 election that have the likes of many Socialist democrats already checking out the help wanted sections of their newspapers.

Let's face it, both Democrats and Republicans have done a great deal of damage to our liberties and freedoms. It is the reason why the Republicans lost control of the house and senate and it will be the reason the Democrats loose their seats come November.

Americans are not angry, they are at a boiling point. They are tired of corporate interests manipulating our legislators and our legislators refusing to represent the average person.

Health Care Reform = Heath Control
Financial reform will = Financial Control
Patriot Act = Unpatriotic
Real ID = National ID
Immigration Reform = Amnesty
Cap & Trade = Energy Control & more taxes

Republicans know the American people will just go to the ballots in a rash of furry over the HCR and possibly amnesty, but, before they do, they may stop and think that it was the republicans who brought about some of this legislation and the republicans pushed fro Amnesty two years ago.

In the mean time, Democrats are on the offensive, training their campaign workers who will go door to door touting all the great things about HCR. They will forget to mention things, like reduced health care for all, increased taxes, fines and jail for those who refuse to accept health insurance, National ID health Card, National Health Record database, unfettered access to bank accounts in case they need to squeeze more money from you for your health care and the list goes on.

The Democrats know they will loose out come November, they have Obama who has some of his lowest approval ratings out touting their great work for voting against the will of the American people.

Of course, now they (Democrats & Republicans) want the Federal Reserve to have more power to screw up our financial system and the Democrats want more power and control over the very energy we use in our homes. Many are still so very ignorant of Climategate or simply ignoring a truth that is to inconvenient for their socialist agenda.

While I am not Libertarian, I do suggest that people look at independent candidates, lets stop this right left paradigm and start looking at reality. The fact is, that both parties have done us wrong and we need some strong independent constructionally minded individuals running our nation.

http://huff.to/bT2tHU

Quote of the Day: "Nothing is official, until it has first been denied." -- Jerry Hughes, radio talk show host, and a friend of Downsize DC

You probably have a fundamental disagreement with the politicians who represent you . . .

* They think your money is their money, and they determine what your "allowance" will be
* You probably think that you are not a slave, and that you work to fulfill your own dreams, not theirs

Consider -- If you had a choice, would you rather give your money to . . .

* The Department of Housing and Urban Development, or Habitat for Humanity?
* The Department of the Interior, or groups like the Nature Conservancy and Ducks Unlimited?
* The Department of Education, or a local private school?
* The National Institute of Health (NIH), or St. Joseph's Hospital and the Shriner's Hospitals?

If you're like me, the NIH is the only bureaucracy that might spark a glimmer of interest. But I must wonder, if state-directed medical research is really such a great thing, why must it be funded at gun point?

Other State efforts provoke similar questions. And I can summarize my answers as follows . . .

There's nothing the federal government does that I value anywhere near as much as it costs. I would gladly choose a private, voluntary alternative for nearly every so-called "service" The State provides. I even think it screws up national defense, creating more enemies for me than it actually kills or constrains.

If I could fire my so-called government, I would. But I can't -- it's a monopoly protected by violence and intimidation, with the result that . . .

There doesn't seem to be any limit to how much of my money the know-it-all, busy-body politicians want to spend. They have no brakes. However . . .

Since the bond market does place a severe limit on how much money The State can borrow, there is more and more talk of raising taxes. In particular there's now a great deal of talk about a federal VAT.

VAT stands for Value Added Tax. A VAT is like a sales taxes except that the state and local sales taxes you're used to paying are only imposed at the final point of sale. By contrast . . .

A federal VAT is a sales tax imposed at EVERY STEP from production through distribution to final sale. In other words, the tax would be imposed at every point at which value is added to a product. That's why they call it a "value-added" tax.

We expect President Obama's current commission on the federal deficit to recommend a VAT. Now, the Obama administration has been quick to deny that it wants to impose a VAT, but we don't believe it. When politicians' move their lips, there's a considerable chance they're lying, and any denial is usually a prelude to confirmation. So you need to decide . . .

* Do you want to pay more taxes, or do you want the politicians to cut spending?
* Are you going to tell them what you want, or will you sanction what happens by remaining silent?

Resistance is simple.I just sent a letter to Congress, using DowsizeDC.org's "cut spending" campaign.

You can copy or borrow from what I said in my letter . . .

You are spending too much, and borrowing too much. This must end. You must balance your books. And you must do it by cutting spending -- NOT by increasing taxes. Please pay special attention to the following -- NO Value Added Tax!

END LETTER

Remember, Congress cannot hear what you do NOT say.

You can send your own letter to Congress using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System.

Please forward this Dispatch to others, and ask them to also send letters to Congress opposing a Value Added Tax.

When you sit down and read about the long hard battles our founding fathers endured in order to allow us to live free, you cannot help but wonder was it all in vain.

The choices we make each and every day will lead us either down the road of destruction to a nation of socialism, then Communism and tyranny or it will be a road of sacrifice and struggle to return our nation back to the way it was intended to be and that is simply that all are able to live free.

Liberals will have you to think that because you celebrate patriots day that you are doing so because of what happened in Oklahoma City when in fact Patriots' Day is celebrated to honor those who fought in Battles of Lexington and Concord. This is where the phrase "The shot heard around the world," comes from.

Americans were tired of tyranny. They did all they could do in order to stop King George's oppression though discourse. Ultimately they had to make the heart wrenching choice to sacrifice themselves and all they had so that all who lived in the colonies could live free.

Today is Patriot's Day. Have you taken the opportunity to sacrifice some of your time and money? Perhaps a few months to speak to freinds, neighbors, family members about the issues and what is happening to our country? Were you able to help out a liberty minded candidate?

Today, we do not have to go to the extent of our forefathers to regain our liberties. We do need to have the same passion and zeal as they had and use it to find ways to defeat those who are in power and are abusing it. Both Democrats and Republicans should be scrutinized and voted out according to their performance.

We don't need to resort to violence to win our country back, what we do need is votes and candidates who will uphold their oath to office.
