Turning Point

     The Democratic Republic in which we reside may be at a turning point right now.We are going through a sea change at such a rapid pace, thanks to this Administration's policies and muted accomplishments, that it has given rise to a phenomenon in American politics not seen since the formation of this great nation-the Tea Party Movement. And this movement seems to have gotten the attention of Washington D.C., no small feat. The 'anti-incumbent' mood of the Tea Partiers appears to worry both Partys, but the Democrats more so, to hear the vitriol when they speak of the Tea Party Movement, or any of it's prominent players, such as Sarah Palin. And we all know how brutal the Dems and their lap dogs, the dinosaur media, have been to Sarah.

     To hear the Dems discus the Tea Party, one might get the impression that we are all racist, violent homophobes, frothing at the mouth, possibly rabid and carrying AK47's with an extra clip in our pockets, 'just in case'. 
We have been called everything that one can use as bad, and I sometimes wish I did have an AK-47,but only for self-protection if things go bad someday. And an extra clip for anything is just smart. But I am not racist, and neither are any of the other Tea Partiers, nor are we violent, or homophobic. However, we do mostly believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I have many gay friends, some of whom have gotten married, and I don't get all bent out of shape about it. It doesn't really affect me, and the Libertarian in me says that it's their own business. As long as it doesn't deprive me of life, liberty, or property, it, again, doesn't affect me. But then my values say that it does affect me, as it contributes to the breakdown of society that is going on now. And I worry and pray for the society and the Country because it is slowly disappearing right before our eyes. However, I don't think the Democratic Party, or SEIU, or the AFL-CIO, or even the Administration can point to a single racist, or violent occurrence by a legitimate Tea Party member, and that wasn't the work of an implant, probably from the SEIU, or ACORN. Just look at the professionally produced signs that they carry, then look around...virtually all of the signs of Tea Party members are homemade.

     Earlier this year, after the Tea Party Rally in D.C. when the first real accusations of racism began to circulate, Brett Brietbart offered a $ 100,000 dollar reward for pictures of racist signs, or actions, and the reward went unclaimed. It seems likely, with all of the TV cameras and photographers that were there, that SOMEONE would have produced some real evidence. They can't, because it doesn't exist. Tea Party members are tired of the lies and virtual theft coming out of Washington year after year. We are waking up to the realization that if we revere the Constitution, we have to act. Our Representatives and Senators and especially the president, have forgotten that they swore to uphold the Constitution, which lays forth the powers enumerated to each branch. Obama has done so many things that are NOT given to the president or his CZARS, that I have trouble remembering them. And the whole Czar thing in the first place is ridiculous! I know that Bush started it, but he is a Progressive, too, just a Republican one, and by nature went much slower in appointing people and calling them 'czars'.I remember only one, although there might turn out to be more. I'm just saying that part of the drive of the Tea Parties, is the seeming irreverence of those that we have sent to Washington when it comes to the Constitution. There is nothing in there that gives a President the power to take over a car company, or decimate business and banking in the ways that he has. Another reason that the Tea Party is spreading and growing is because we all know that our great Country's debt is unsustainable, and the Obama Administration even admitted that. We are right now barely able to make the interest payments, and that will actually happen in a very few years. I believe they said that would happen in 2013 if we don't get it under control fast. And we pay enough in taxes now, and do not believe the President when he says that we middle class folks will not see our taxes raised.Programs like Medicaid are getting cuts already, and doctors in Texas are even considering not treating Medicaid patients because of the cuts in pay. Great...thousands are about to be dumped onto the Medicaid rolls, and doctors are thinking about not accepting them as patients. Funny thing is, what good does having insurance do you if you can't find a doctor to treat you? Medicare patients might have a hard time, too, since there is already a shortage of physicians to treat the elderly in many states, and now that the 'Boomers' are getting to the age to start collecting Medicare, and needing doctors more often, this is not good. Not good at all.

     Besides pushing the ridiculous Obamacare bill through, about the only other policy that Obama has made good on is the one where he said that he would make a "Fundamental Change in America", which he said many times during the run-up to the nomination, and even in his Inaugural Address. And after taking over the banking industry, the largest car-maker in America, and piling regulations on everything from clean air to Wall Street, I'd say he's come pretty close to that fundamental change; we're almost France now, as most of Europe tries to become more like us. It would be funny if it wasn't so scary. Maybe Obama isn't a clear Socialist, but his policies sure are.

     No, Tea Party Movement members are not racist, or why would our Black members stick around? We are not violent, or why would Grandparents bring their Grandchildren with them? But we are also no longer silent, no longer asleep at the wheel, and we are spreading the word, and growing in numbers exponentially. By the time it is time to vote, our numbers will be huge--mark my words. We will not remain silent while the Obama Administration turns our beloved Country into another Greece.We will no longer remain silent while our system of Capitalism is decimated. And we will no longer stay at home while Washington D.C. destroys the America that we love. Not racist, not violent, No Longer Silent. Remember those words.











       

Who knew?

    A few weeks ago, I was thrilled when Joe Sestak beat Arlan Spector  in the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania, because Spector was one of the Senators who really needed to go. He had been in Congress too long. Of course, as a Democrat, I don't want him to win, and recent stories have come to light, that might make his attempt to become a Senator unsuccessful. 
   In a story in WorldNetDaily.com, on the 4th of July, we found out that Sestak is backed by MoveOn.org. I wonder if they are going to use the same people to falsify voter registration forms that they used in the '08 election to help get Obama elected...oh, I think most of them are still in jail, or on probation. Guess they will have to train others.Sestak's campaign also expected heavy voter support and financial backing from the Jewish community until a recent controversy came to light about Sestak's affiliation with C.A.I.R.,the Council on American-Islamic relations.
   This week's edition of the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent has a large ad reminding voters that Sestak was the keynote speaker at a fundraising dinner for CAIR in 2007. 'Jewish American's for Sarah Palin', a group headed by Buddy Korn, a veteran activist for the Philadelphia Jewish community, and a former Editor-In-Chief for the Jewish Exponent, is running the ad. The ad states that Sestak was the keynote speaker at the fundraiser, despite substantial evidence that Cair has "ties to terrorism" according to Senator Charles Shumer, D-NY, in 2003. More than a dozen Cair officials have been either indicted or convicted on terror charges, including one who was active in 'Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group who carried out the attack last year on the Chabad Center in Mumbai, India. A rabbi and his wife were tortured and killed during the attack.
   CAIR has been confirmed as a terrorist co-conspirator by the Justice Dept. Still, they are trying to keep alive a lawsuit against two investigators behind the expose' "Muslim Mafia: InsideThe Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America", which documents the D.C.-based group's founding and current activity as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas, the terrorist group of the Palestinians. 
   At a meeting in 2007, members of the local Jewish community pleaded with Sestak to withdraw as Keynote Speaker at the CAIR event, but he refused.
   The ad also points out that Sestak refused to sign a Pro-Israeli letter that had been signed by 329 members of Congress last year, urging Obama to work closely with Israel , so as to advance peace. Sestak again refused an opportunity to sign another pro-Israel congressional letter this past March affirming that the U.S. and Israel are "close allies".
   However, Sestak did sign a January letter, blasting Israel for using "collective punishment" against the Palestinians in Gaza, which sought to pressure Israel to to ease blockades against Hamas, which is still bombing Israel almost daily. "This is not a case of one isolated incident, or remark," according to Korn. "Joe Sestak has a record of embracing Muslim extremists and giving Israel the back of his hand. He would be the anti-Israel Senator that Washington has ever seen."Complicating matters more for Sestak, his Republican opponent, Pat Toomey, a fiscal Conservative,is a strong proponant for Israel.
   Korn stated that Pennsylvania voters have a clear choice between someone who is an advocate for Israel and one who seems to embrace Muslim extremists. Recent polls have Toomey ahead of Sestak by 7 points,but political observers expect a close race. 
   This race doesn't affect me in any way at all, except to find it interesting. I want the Republican to win, of course, only because I want anyone but a Democrat to win this year. The very integrity of our way of life is at stake, and embracing Israel as we always have is only one of several reasons.
