President Obama and the Tea Party

President Barack Obama promised the people “hope” and “change”.

It all is in the process of being exposed as a hoax.

His campaign slogan next year should be: No We Cannot.

When he was a Presidential candidate in 2007-2008, he was advancing his own brand of snake oil. A majority of voters purchased the new brand, not recognizing the product as nothing but a medicinal quick fix.

Today, it clearly is a hoax, yet many of “the people” who have that snake oil on their shelves are just getting to the point of realizing it. Unfortunately, it will take a while for “the people” to admit they made a mistake. It is concerning that we ponder more than a year ahead of the election whether “the people” not only will admit their mistake but put their vote where their hearts and minds are or should be.

Emerging simultaneously with the Obama Hoax is the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party is going to win; there is no question about that. The people in the Tea Party will be in the forefront of exposing the hoax. But they still have a big task ahead. Their opponents will be employing tactics the left has been famous for, what Author Ann Coulter calls “outright thuggery”. The Tea Party must expand forces nationally to turn back the left, and answer the liberals, Obama et al, as a response to any mob thuggery.

Liberals cannot stand the Tea Party movement. Until FOX News came along, liberals had free rein on news bias. Only one side of the news was published or broadcast. Of course, that’s still a highly manipulated situation among most of the “mainstream media”.

Liberals are especially bothered because little by little, a few members of the media are coming around. Not the liberal media. But a minority of true journalists in the media. This is a critical issue for the Tea Party: developing a fair and balanced media.

You hear various people decrying the fact that there is such a “divide” in this country. What is emerging is the fact that the Tea Party is getting in the face of liberals. Liberals (and most Democrats) go bonkers nowadays when they hear “Tea Party”. Get used to it. The battle is just starting.

The members of the Tea Party are not evil; they are not crazy; they are not racists. They are good people who see President Obama as a hoax.

The hoax really has not been exposed yet. Maybe this blog will help you.

Part of the story is the FACT that Obama knows exactly what he is doing, just like the snake oil salesman. “The people” are having some difficulty with this. Some liberals, in defending the President, insist that he is brilliant, a genius and so on.

Aside from his alleged brilliance, the cold fact is that he is a conniver. And clever as such.

Did you skip over that sentence above: “…….Obama knows exactly what he is doing.” Ignore it at your peril.

It is necessary to prove that here. The Tea Party cannot survive and succeed unless and until it proves that Obama is a clever conniver. Much of his “plan” already is in motion; you just don’t hear about it from “the mainstream media”.

He has not pulled the wool over the eyes of the Tea Party people. But he has done an effective job with his friends, the liberals, and the radicals, and many independents. That many independents must take a new look at Obama is a sober given, however difficult that may be for them.

Before we get to the facts about Barack Obama, let us bring up the big phony issue, the elephant in the room: racism. This always has been a major crutch of liberals, the big haymaker that never has failed to score, or so liberals think. If there is a black person involved in a controversy, it obviously is agreed: cry racism. That’ll scare the hell out of them! Those Tea Party people are all racists, for example.

The Tea Party, of course, does not accept this critical canard. However, it must fight back and demonstrate that racism is NOT Obama’s defender, but rather a canard. Just to clarify: what is a canard? Merriam-Webster defines it as a false or unfounded report or story; especially : a fabricated report and “a groundless rumor or belief”.

That is what most racism of today is.

Of course, a small minority of whites are racist. But this means a great, great majority are not. And members of the Tea Party are not racists.

If we want to start a fight here, all we need do is point out that many of the black people who voted for Obama in 2008 are racists. They voted for him because he is black. In their eyes, he can do no wrong. They will stick with him through all of his foibles. They will eat from his hand, no matter what. Many blacks never read or hear anything negative about Obama. He is their Community Organizer (a noble term for all-day agitator).

It is black racism.

They are blind to his all-day, full-court ego. Most blacks have no idea of the Obama hoax, which is described in detail below. (It is unfortunate, for example, that a black conservative can hardly get his/her foot in the door, due to national villification by liberals, liberal blacks and the liberal media.) Black conservatives (there, in fact, are some!) are brilliant and unique in their perspectives, so much so that liberal blacks go out of their way to discredit them.

Blacks have been promised since the days of LBJ (“The Great Society” it wasn’t, for most blacks) that government will see to it that their lives and livelihoods will be improved. Of course, there are millions of both whites and blacks on welfare, some of them undeserving, but the sober fact remains: you likely will not become middle class on welfare. The War on Poverty was a scam.

But we must get to the crux of all of this: the Obama Hoax.

You, my reader, are sitting on the sidelines watching Obama mostly covertly demonstrate that he is the top student in the world …… of Saul Alinsky.

The media should have told you about Saul Alinsky in the 2008 campaign. But the media almost totally kept most Obama negatives out of print and off the air/cable.

This is the critical issue. This is why we should state, every day, that we as a nation have been standing idly by as Obama tries to tear this nation apart. And we certainly cannot be standing idly by. Obama is doing this while reading and re-reading Saul Alinsky.

From his grave, Saul Alinsky has exacerbated a disturbingly increasing national debt. The current debt is a staggering amount, one that is over the heads of most Americans, unfortunately. They have no idea what a trillion dollars is.

We ought to have every school student each day write the following dollar amount: $14,748,803,094,463. That was the National Debt on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 21, 2011, more than 13 months in advance of the November, 2012, election. (Of course, that won’t happen. For one thing, many school teachers, especially college professors, are liberal, and some arrogantly advance their own liberal agendas in the classrooms.)

So maybe students can learn to write the day’s ever-increasing national debt amount. Maybe they can eventually realize what a trillion dollars is. Or 14 trillion.

Before discussing Obama and Alinsky, which is at the core of this nation’s daily problem/dilemma, you need to take a break from reading this happy blog. Go to http://www.usdebtclock.org and see all of that money increasing and increasing and increasing and increasing.

Look at all of those red and green figures changing and changing and increasing and increasing. It is a sobering experience to do this. So just don’t sit there; do it ! http://www.usdebtclock.org

(FOR THE RECORD, THE TOTAL DEBT PASSED $15,000,000,000,000.00 in mid-November, 2011.)

Not long after the earthquake in Haiti, Rush Limbaugh commended actor George Clooney for leading the multi-network fund-raising telethon. Do you remember it? It was on all the major networks for two hours, a Friday night, not long after the quake. George and everybody else taking part raised $66,000,000. Certainly, a million dollars is alot of money. Too, $66,000,000 is alot more money.

I will update Rush’s illustration to the $14,748,803,094,463 figure listed above. Rush asked his national radio audience if they had any idea how long it would take George Clooney et al to raise the total of the national debt (now $14,748,803,094,463 for our illustration) if they raised $66,000,000 daily. Every day including Thanksgiving and Christmas each year. How long would it take to do that?

‘Twould take 612 years!

It would take a staggering 223,466 George Clooney telethons! So, the ultimate question for you: do you have any idea how much a trillion dollars is? Or $14,000,000,000,000?

That’s 612 years to … every day … raise $66,000,000 (did I mention you have to do this every day??) to reach the total amount of the national debt. That $66,000,000 is a distant share of a mere 1% of the national debt, something like 0.0000044749394 of the national debt. Scary. No. Very scary. Remember, we concluded $66,000,000 is alot of money! Give Obama identification for nearly one-third of all of the $14,000,000,000,000+.! And he did his part in 32 months!

Want another sobering statistic? First, the figure: $4,200,000,000. That’s $4.2 billion. That’s 4,200 MILLION DOLLARS. The government of the United States, on a DAILY BASIS, spends $4,200,000,000 more than it takes in. That’s every day, podnuh. This is exactly what President Obama wants. He wants us to spend ourselves into oblivion……. into socialism. He must be stopped.

On that usdebtclock.org website, you will get the latest figures for debt per citizen (more than $47,000), number of taxpayers (112,000), “official” unemployed (14,000,000), “actual” unemployed (25,000,000), federal employees (4,300,000), and so on and so on and so on, concluding with bankruptcies (1,589,000 so far this year) and foreclosures (982,678), and so on and so on. Some suggest the number of bankruptcies should be increased by one: the United States of America!

By the way, if you are keeping score, the national debt on the day President Obama was inaugurated was $10,626,877,048,913.08. (Yep, even eight cents.) Since Obama became President, the national debt has been increasing at a rate of more than 15 per cent each year. President George Bush has been blamed as somewhat of a big spender, and he was in the White House when the rate was 8% per year.

Many Bush defenders say he was a big spender because of what Congress sent his way. But Obama has come along to DOUBLE the sins of the Bush years.

So, OK, what about the hoax. The hoax that is Obama.

President Barack Hussein Obama is hellbent on tearing down the structures of the United States of America. He purports to do this feigning innocence and good intentions while continually reading his speeches off the teleprompter. He is the nation’s Community Organizer, but he is being found out, one day at a time.

Saul Alinksy (1909-1972) of Chicago has been called the “first” Community Organizer. His claim to fame was his “Rules for Radicals” (available on the Internet; search for “The Twelve Rules for Radicals”). Obama is a “disciple” of Saul Alinsky; he even taught workshops on Alinsky’s tactics.

Alinsky said the community organizer must first rub raw the resentments of the people and fan the hostilities to the point of overt expression.

The key to power for radicals, said Alinsky, is to teach hatred for the majority. But, said Alinsky, you cannot hate millions of people. To do that effectively, he contended, you need a one-person scapegoat to focus your hatred on. “Pick the target,” he said, some say quoting Lenin, “freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” That is the politics of personal destruction.

Mob thuggery is doing this on a daily basis.

Obama, a follower of Alinsky, came along to say: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” That is the Chicago-style language of gang war. Alinsky called ordinary Americans “the enemy”. Normal people do not declare war on all of society. But that is what Obama is doing.

And there is no question, absolutely no question, that Obama is following Alinsky.

Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Power is derived from two main sources: money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. That was Rule #1.

Number 2 says: Never go outside the expertise of your people. It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

You owe it to yourself and your education to read all of them, all 12 Alinsky rules.

Another says “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon”.

The American people must understand these rules before November, 2012. The liberal media did not find it comfortable to expose them before the 2008 election. In fact, the media did its best to “cover” for Obama’s arrogance and radicalism, and his love of Alinsky and his rules.

Remember Joe the Plumber?

On Sunday, October 12, 2008, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher was playing catch with a football at his home near Toledo, Ohio. Presidential candidate Barack Obama campaigned on his street, prompting Joe the Plumber to ask Obama about his tax proposals affecting small businesses. Obama replied in part: “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they’ve got a chance at success, too.” Then, he added his infamous line that the liberal media, and everybody else, for that matter, cringed on: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Spread the wealth around. Income redistribution.

There was widespread media coverage about Joe the Plumber but because they (the media) are overwhelmingly in the tank for Obama, they threw curve balls all over the place. They made Joe the Plumber the issue to the point that three state officials in Ohio, without authority, “investigated” Joe, using the taxpayer-supported government to attack him.

Income redistribution was the key peg of the campaign but more than 50 per cent of the people didn’t let that bother them. They voted for that hope and change. They need to read a certain document (see below).

And the fact remains, however, that this is a key example for charges that Obama is a socialist. He wants to spread the wealth around.

And he wants to run your life without caring what the U-S Constitution says. Some liberals call the Constitution “a living, breathing document”, which is why some members of the U. S. Supreme Court think they have been given an appointment to amend the document. Only the people may and can amend.

Want an example of the Saul Alinsky techniques?

The longest-serving (nine terms) U. S. Senator in history (Democrat Robert Byrd) did not get much publicity but he, on more than one occasion, blasted the President for his appointments of Presidential Czars. Do you know what and who they are? There are 41 of them, or at least that was the last known count.

The czars answer only to the President, despite what some of them allege; they have been given enormous (unilateral) power to regulate and control the American economy and government without any sort of oversight.

According to the late Senator Byrd, the czars manage crucial areas of national policy in violation of the constitutional system of checks and balances and its separation of powers. Senator Byrd called Obama’s “czar strategy” an unprecedented power grab centralizing authority for this nation solely in the White House.

Obama has appointed czars to oversee everything from healthcare to energy, science, terrorism, education, diversity, AIDS, Medicare, technology and cyberspace, among others, 41 in all.

What do those in the “mainstream media” report about the czars? Little.

Hope and change? What hope has President Obama given us? What change has he given the nation’s poor? (Recent news reports have disclosed that we have more poor people in the U. S. since Obama took office. Where is the hope/change emerging?)

The poverty rate here in Philadelphia JUMPED (says the Philadelphia Inquirer) nearly two percentage points from 2009 to 2010, according to a federal report.

What change has President Obama given us? Certainly the answer is not $14,748,803,094,463.

The hope he has given us is vaporized mystique, spun right out of his teleprompter. The change he has given us is adding each of us to the bankruptcy tabulations, even though they are not counted on usdebtclock.org.

Obama’s bankruptcy plan, in the wake of Saul Alinsky, is designed to cripple the people, and introduce a kind of socialistic euphoria. Such has been tried over the years; it never worked. It won’t work. Success stories do not exist.

Several months ago, I started attending meetings of the Northeast Philadelphia Tea Party. It is a small group. Many of those on the “e-mail list” do not attend the meetings, at least not this year. Attendance likely will increase in 2012 when Obama is raising his campaign millions (he says he needs a billion, as in $1,000,000,000!!!!).

That’s alot of money, but to keep things in perspective vs. the national debt, what he seeks for his campaign is a “mere” 0.00006780211205 of the national debt.

These various figures are intended to demonstrate the enormous magnitude of the national debt.

Each Northeast Philadelphia Tea Party meeting starts with recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, a radical expression of patriotism. Eh????? (as they say in Canada). However, the Northeast Philadelphia group and all the other Tea Parties are not the least bit radical; they are not “far right” (the favorite appellation of the liberal left); they are not evil.

The Director of the Northeast Philadelphia group is Edith V. (Eydie) Rodebaugh. She retired three years ago from her long-time job as School Teacher. She taught history (American History, especially) and economics and political science. Today, as part of her busy schedule, she teaches piano. She is assisted in Tea Party work by her husband, William F. (Bill) Rodebaugh, Jr.

The Tea Party Patriots organized because it saw the dangers of excessive government spending and taxation. In their Mission Statement, the Tea Party Patriots state that they aim to attract, educate, organize and mobilize citizens to secure public policy consistent with three core values: fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government and free markets.

The Tea Parties, for one thing, represent the answer to the need for good journalism. Liberals are going ballistic because Fox News has some commentators who are hitting them between the eyes. For decades, liberals never heard or read anything that opposed their views. Biased reporting was easy for the liberal left. Not anymore. The Tea Parties’ goal must include nationwide efforts to expose the liberal media. Stick to the facts; it is an easy task.

In Philadelphia, the Tea Party has a difficult task amidst a sea of east coast liberalism. Both Philadelphia newspapers, the Inquirer and the Daily News, are overwhelmingly biased in their political coverages. The liberalism is blaring and glaring. The editorial cartoonists for both papers are liberals sometimes bordering on radicalism. Nearly all of their employed columnists are liberal. A majority of the readership of the papers is registered Democrat. Democrats outnumber Republicans 6-1 inside the city. The City Council has been overwhelmingly Democrat for the past 60 years. Fourteen of the (it is too many!) 17 Council members are Democrat.

The Tea Party on a national basis must expose the liberals for what they are.

Critically, unlike the liberals, the Tea Parties have a rock foundation: the U-S Constitution. At the September meeting, Eydie Rodebaugh distributed copies of the Constitution to all in attendance. As a demonstration of Tea Party dedication, we recited the introductory sentence of the Constitution:

“WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence (sic), promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

At this writing, President Obama is urging passage of his latest brilliance: the Jobs Bill. He went before Congress earlier this month, ala the State of the Union, and proposed a new bill to spend $450,000,000,000 to create jobs. (By the way, the reader should think about changing the way we gloss over these dollar amounts. Years ago, newspapers found it convenient to write a figure like that as $450 billion. You don’t have nearly as much understanding of $450 billion as when you write it as $450,000,000,000.)

I never thought I would write something “favorable” quoting President Bill Clinton, but he obviously does not dig Obama’s socialist spending. Newsmax.com asked him this week about the Obama economic proposals. He replied a rather funny: “This whole thing is a little confusing.”

Imagine Bill Clinton being confused! He told Newsmax.com new taxes and spending should be delayed until the economy gets out of the doldrums.

He said the nation first must start with resolving the home-mortgage crisis (see “foreclosures”, above).

The former President called for a bipartisan approach to dealing with the nation’s economic woes: “I don’t think you can tax or cut taxes, I don’t think you can spend or not spend enough to get America back to a full employment economy until we flush that debt.”

By the way, as is typical of the liberal media, that criticism of Obama appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer in a short item on Page 6A.

I will close with comments received in an e-mail this week from Ann Coulter.

Ann drives liberals crazy. Liberals cannot handle blows to their noses. She is a conservative who does not cloud her words.

“Did your blood boil as you watched the violent spectacles in Wisconsin staged by Democrat-led public-sector unions?”

“If so,” she wrote, “brace yourself for what’s ahead. As the 2012 election draws nearer, I fear sickening scenes like this will become as frequent as Nancy Pelosi’s Botox appointments. Heck, some blunt-speaking Democrats already admit they’re going to get rough.”

She quoted Democratic pollster Paul Maslin as saying: “It’s not going to be 2008 ‘Yes We Can’ anymore. I think it’s going to be slash-and-burn.”

“You see,” said Ann, “in 2008 (AKA “the Year of the Second Coming” to liberals), Barack Obama had no record to run on. He was free to campaign with vague promises of ‘hope and change’ while counting on foolish independents and naive young people to project their own wishes upon him like a blank screen.”

But Ann says in 2012, Obama will have no such luxury. We know who he is now. He can’t hide behind hope. Or change.

Which is why, says Ann Coulter, Democrats will use the same vile “Wisconsin Strategy” to frighten conservatives and independents and make them fearful of daring to unelect the first African-American president of the United States.

The Tea Parties are ready to respond with unified national emphasis: Hope and Change ….. a Hoax.
