How did we get here?

The story about Alex Rodriguez being one of the 103 players caught using steroids in the 2003 "confidential" testing by MLB is a microcosm of the greater illness that is plaguing our country. The generations before the baby boomers valued a persons word, they valued integrity, they valued an honest days work. With the advent of the "me" generation it's all about getting there first, what's in it for me, the end justifies the means. Our descent into Machiavellian ideals has propagated an environment whereby cheating is OK, as long as one doesn't get caught, and even then, with a good apology and the shortened attention span of those watching, all is soon forgotten.
The Internet has opened a Pandora's box of scamming and cheating. One needs to look no further than malicious spamming and phishing that is constantly bombarding Internet users. College entrance exams have either gotten really easy, or kids are getting smarter than the test (SAT, ACT). The fact is that examples of test questions are all over the Internet, and plagiarism, well that's all whole other can of worms, just ask Biden. Nobody wants to start at the bottom and work their way up through the ranks with hard work, we want to start at or near the top! Who wants to own one house that you can afford, pay it off, then maybe leverage that paid off house into some investment properties? You could instead, two years ago anyway, get a loan on five houses at once and have other people pay for your equity as values rise, and get really rich doing little or nothing. Then came the monkey wrench. Values stopped rising, then fell, and interest rates ticked up, making all those ARMs a large boulder strapped to the collective neck of over-zealous investors and those living way above their means.
Ft. Myers was ground zero for the frothing Real Estate market. Empty lots were being bought and flipped for profit. Three years ago real estate values were 40-60% higher than today. So Barack Obama and his Merry band of Hucksters paid a visit to the shell shocked Gulf coast of Florida, led by the traitorous Charlie Crist, into the land of the depressed and needy. He was greeted like a saint, a messiah by the breathless needy masses there.

Good Gosh! Don't they know that it was Barack Hussein Obama, the Usurper, the Non Natural Born US President, who had a major part in the catastrophe? He and his band of traitorous power hungry Socialists (Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Kennedy) purposefully brought the US Economy to it's knees (helped by an equally ideologically inept President Bush) in order to further the power grab of the government over the people. So in the once booming Gulf Coast, where people took advantage of a corrupt system, and got greedy, the perpetrator was greeted as their master. For them the decent into Socialism is complete, they have already psychologically ceded control over their lives to the government. People there asked questions about why they couldn't get a better job than McDonald's, and why they could not get their full previous salary in unemployment. These are the people that descended upon the Harborside Event Center in Ft. Myers, looking for a handout, something to believe in, because they have no belief in themselves. They should know that if someone says" I'm from the government and I'm here to help", RUN!
So that brings me back to AROD, the once great and all powerful baseball player, viewed as perhaps the best of all time. He was going to be the savior of the HR record, the legitimate, non PED aided King of the sport, gifted as a hitter as Obama is as a politician. The adoration of a man who can merely play a sport is the sure sign of sickness in our society. Why should so much be given to someone who can hit a baseball, while so little is given to a teacher or a policeman, or an engineer or a doctor? Disparity of income stratas has caused a fraying of our moral fiber. Kids want to be Rappers or Ballplayers, not Engineers or Doctors, and they will use any means that justify that end. They want that Million Dollar contract! Obama has capitalized on the vast differences in income, and instead of working to fix our societal ills, has used them to his own ends, demonizing Capitalism as a failed system that preys on the little people. He has capitalized on the Income Gap like Hugo Chavez, knowing that the have nots are a much Larger group than the haves.
AROD and Obama both cheated along the way, they could not rely on their gift and their hard work. They wanted it all, Now. The lack of belief in themselves (alas even the powerful suffer from this human malady) and a craving of idolatry from their fans, has brought AROD down to earth, and will soon bring down Obama.

A Way To Achieve Standing to Challenge Obama

Greetings Patriots!
I sent this proposal to Leo Donofrio and JbJd recently about a back door gambit to sue the Democratic Committe Chair of Hawaii for their actions in the Nomination of Barack Obama for President on the Hawaiian Ballot. There are some states that place the burden of "vetting" a POTUS candidate on that particular state's Democratic or Republican Committee. Basically, they are, by putting a POTUS candidate on the Ballot in that state, validating that the Candidate is "Constitutionally Qualified" to hold the office. So they are committing a fraud upon the Hawaiian Election Commission if the candidate is not qualified Constitutionally.

under US code Title 18 Section 371.
CITE
18 USC Sec. 371 01/02/2006
EXPCITE

Military Template for Lawsuit agianst Obama

Jbjd@wordpress.com is a very knowledgeable site. He was the first to bring up and formulate a Lawsuit challenging Obama's Natural Born Citizen qualification using the military as a vehicle to clear the "standing" hurdle (Blockade) set up by the courts. Here is a link to a template for his propsed lawsuit.

Stimulating?

Barack Obama, addressing fellow House Democrats at the start of their weekend retreat in Williamsburg, Va., tonight, insisted that Americans aren't interested in hearing "the same tired arguments and old ideas that helped create this problem...."I welcome this debate, but, come on, we are not going to get relief by turning back to the same policies that, for the last eight years, doubled our national debt, and threw our economy into a tail spin '' Obama said, with a passion unseen in public since the campaign trail. "We can't embrace the same old formula that says only tax cuts will address the problems we face.''Opponents say the plan is not a stimulus bill, it's a spending bill, he said. "What do you think stimulus is?'' Obama said, with visible frustration. "That's the point.''

Now, watching this shameful pack of lies that is passed off by the media as prescient, forward thinking problem solving, I am struck by "The Big O's" smugness in front of an obviously friendly audience of fellow Marxists. I guess he is a proponent of the idea that if you repeat a lie often enough than it must be true.Tight monetary policy has staved off the specter of inflation for the better part of 20 years, yet here he is, promoting an increase in the supply of money that is sure to lead to massive inflation and a devaluation of the dollar.

Of course John McCain, "The Maverick", awoke from his slumber long enough to propose a bill that consisted of more tax cuts and half the total bill. If he would have opposed the first TARP bill, he may have won the election, but alas, the two parties now mainly function as one. He is NO HERO in my eyes, especially since he could have prevented the USURPER from taking office, but instead made a deal with the BIG O in Resolution 511 not discuss each other's Natural Born Citizen problem. Obama responded with this speech pointing the finger at the Republicans for the blah blah policies blah blah of the last 8 years blah blah, reviving his campaign stump and ignoring his party's complicity in the real estate melt down.

Yet very little about the 647 page $900 Billion BOONDOGGLE has anything to do with stimulation. The big winners are the unions to which Obama is beholden. Obama’s background as a union organizer is fostering unhealthy ties to these special interest groups. Unions who organized and contributed to his campaign are raking it back in many times over. Education gets a whopping $66 billion public-employee unions, such as mass transit workers, stand to profit by $6 billion, but these poorly run systems have nothing to do with helping the economy. Also snuck into the bill is $7 billion to modernize federal buildings and facilities and $600 million for the federal government to buy new cars.
And how is giving $150 million to the Smithsonian going to create jobs? There is $1 billion for Amtrak, $50 million goes to the National Endowment for the Arts, $400 million for global warming — and don’t forget the necessity of digital TV conversion. They have included $650 million for more coupons to make sure everyone can see their TV. Watching TV is one of our rights, isn’t it?
A huge portion of the bill — $252 billion — goes to income-transfer payments, such as Medicaid, more unemployment benefits, food stamps and the earned income credit for people who do not pay any income taxes. This money does not fit the definition of a job producer and does not belong in this piece of legislation. It belongs in a welfare bill. Here is a list of items in the bill:

• $2 billion to re-start a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient. • $1 billion for the 2010 Census, which has a projected cost overrun of $3 billion. • $1.4 billion for rural waste disposal programs. • $6 billion to turn federal buildings into "green" buildings. • $1.2 billion for "youth activities," including youth summer job programs. • A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film. • $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program. • $88 million for the Coast Guard to design a new polar icebreaker (arctic ship). • $448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters. • $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters. • $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees. • $400 million for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to screen and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. • $412 million for CDC buildings and property. • $125 million for the Washington sewer system. • $150 million for Smithsonian museum facilities. • $75 million for "smoking cessation activities." • $200 million for public computer centers at community colleges. • $75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI. • $25 million for tribal alcohol and substance abuse reduction. • $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River. • $10 million to inspect canals in urban areas. • $500 million for state and local fire stations. • $650 million for wildland fire management on forest service lands. • $88 million for renovating the headquarters of the Public Health Service. • $500 million for building and repairing National Institutes of Health facilities in Bethesda, Maryland. • $160 million for "paid volunteers" at the Corporation for National and Community Service. • $5.5 million for "energy efficiency initiatives" at the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. • $850 million for Amtrak. • $100 million for reducing the hazard of lead-based paint. • $75 million to construct a "security training" facility for State Department Security officers when they can be trained at existing facilities of other agencies. • $110 million to the Farm Service Agency to upgrade computer systems. • $200 million in funding for the lease of alternative energy vehicles for use on military installations.

So the USURPER, THE BIG O, is now using fear of loss like a used car salesman, trying to close the deal on the sale of this albatross of a Leftist wish list. In a radio address Saturday, Obama warned Congress that delay could bring perilous consequences: "If we don't act swiftly and boldly, we could see a much deeper economic downturn that could lead to double-digit unemployment." So here is the "Change". Don't you love the Emperors New Clothes?
