Who is More Dangerous and Out of Control – Obama or the Courts? | Godfather Politics

2012-01-09T12:29:00.000-06:00

Americans have been watching President Obama assume more absolute power than any president in history. He has openly violated more sections of the US Constitution and federal laws than any group of presidents in history. He has all the earmarks of turning America into a Marxist dictatorship, but is he really the most dangerous and out of control political entity in the United States.

When the Founding Fathers established the three branches of government, they did so with the idea that there would be checks and balances on each to make sure that no one branch assumes too much power. In fact, their original intent was that the judicial branch was to be the least powerful of the three branches. But as we have seen in the past few decades, the judicial branch has assumed the role of having the ultimate and final authority in the land, even over the other two branches of government and over the will of the American people.

Cases in point:

'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

2011-10-29T19:08:00.001-05:00

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.

In the midst of his story he looked at th e professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.

The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in The last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time.

One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch!

Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to slam the gate on America .

Ten Years Later: Confessions of a 9/11 Conservative (aka Former Liberal) – Patriot Update

All my friends know me as a very strong (and somewhat opinionated) Conservative. They know of my work on campaigns, have read my political articles and have seen my videos on Patriot Update.

But the inconvenient truth is that, like Dennis Miller, I’m what’s known as a “9/11 Conservative” and unfortunately it took a major tragedy to get me where I am today.

Wal-Mart vs. The Morons

2011-08-31T20:22:00.001-05:00

By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature. It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:
A. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

C. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

D. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

E. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

F. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

G. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars, and you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

Pentagon Orders Marines to Stop Farting » Right Pundits

2011-08-27T07:14:00.000-05:00

This is one of those crazy stories that is so bizarre it must be true! The Pentagon apparently has ordered Marines to stop farting in Afghanistan! Yes, you read-heard it right. According to the Marine Corps Times, which was picked up by theblog, Battle Rattle, it would seem that Afghan soldiers working in close proximity with our beloved Marines do not appreciate our troops farting near them. So, the Pentagon is banning any and all audible farts by Marines when Afghan soldiers are downwind. This cultural divide offends the Afghans. Obviously they have never watched ′Blazing Saddles′ or a ′South Park′ episode featuring the Canadian team of Terence and Phillip.

We all know that some cultures have there own peculiarities. Many consider belching after a hardy meal as a sign of approval and appreciation. Some even consider farting after a good meal a positive act for the same reason. Among American males, especially younger ones, a nice loud fart is something to be proud of. After all, we all know that it is the silent ones that really stink. A good loud fart is generally not a bad thing. But I suppose we are guests in Afghanistan and we should respect their customs.

If this story doesn′t raise a stink, perhaps the one at Texas GOP Vote on Obama′s so-called ′listening tour′ will have you cooking on gas? At Outside The Beltway, they have an interesting piece about how the Obama administration is putting pressure on NY State prosecutors to drop mortgage fraud investigations. According to the Conservative Feminist, Obama′s vacation on Martha′s Vineyards has led to a surge in sales of George W. Bush ′Miss Me Yet?′ T-shirts. Red State has a legislative scorecard by the Heritage Foundation rating the Tea Party Congress thus far.

Over at The Pirate′s Cove, they analyze Mitt Romney′s latest revision on his views about man-made climate change. AtSister Toldjah they look at how Greece intends to ban Islamic, Sharia Law. Speaking of religion, Michelle Malkin looks at how the New York Times wants to ask GOP candidates toughre questions about their faith. Finally, at Althouse we have a wrap up of how there will be no criminal charges against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser over allegations that he put a choke hold on Justice Anne Walsh Bradley.

Glad they cleared the air on that one! Now we have a story about the Pentagon trying to clear the air in Afghanistan as it orders Marines to stop farting near Afghan soldiers. I′m sorry, but if it comes down to facing a fart or a bullet or an I.E.D., I′d take a stinky fart any day of the week. Being out in the field, ten thousand miles from home and loved ones, eating those crummy MREs is enough to make anybody lose some control over their bodily functions. While I agree that we should respect their culture foibles, I just do not see how anybody, even Chesty Puller himself, could possibly prevent a Marine from farting just because some Afghan soldiers are nearby. I think we should send our troops plenty of whoopee cushions and let the Afghan soldiers learn the great fun they are missing out on.

Brave Obama To Rid World of the Dangerous… Guitars? » Right Pundits

2011-08-27T07:11:00.000-05:00

You know, I am so glad that we have a President Obama, a president with enough backbone to make the world safe from evil… uh… guitars. Yes, that’s right, President Obama has sent his envirostormtroopers on a nation-wide hunt for evil guitars whether they are 100-year-old pickers or strummers still in the earliest stages of manufacture. That’s right, Obama is on a campaign to abort guitars in the womb!

He’s sooooo brave.

The latest in Obama’s anti-musical crusade is occurring in Memphis, Tennessee at the Gibson guitar plant where Obama’s stormtroopers have knocked down doors and quashed production of new guitars because… well, because there is wood in them. Illegal wood, at that.

The federal government hasn’t really said exactly why they are harassing Gibson Guitars (again, as they’ve done this before) but the presumption is that the feds think Gibson is using wood from outlawed sources like ebony wood from Madagascar. The evidence is that the feds did confiscate various bits of wood from the Gibson plant. For its part, Gibson says it has proof that all its wood is made from a, “Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier.”

But this campaign isn’t just making Gibson “fret,” if you will. The feds are also hinting that all guitars with now outlawedwoods are apt for confiscation by the federal government. Yes, even guitars that were made decades ago, even antiques or older pieces that have been played by musicians for decades can be scooped up by the thugs in government.

Only an out of control government would make musicians afraid that their antique instruments would be confiscated by jackbooted members of Big Brother Obama’s stormtroopers! This is patently absurd.

I have no problem with making rules to protect truly endangered resources, provided that they really are endangered. I’ll not speculate about the ebony wood as I haven’t a clue of its status. But to confiscate things made of this wood that are already done and made decades ago? It is idiotic. Stupid. Simply an exercise in Obama’s authoritarianism.

Further more, confiscating antiques to satisfy a modern need to husband resources is not even logical. First off all, many of these instruments (or anything made from this wood or other protected raw materials) were made in the days when this resource was not endangered at all. So, confiscating and destroying antiques is a meaningless gesture.

Secondly, once something is made of the wood, it is too late to save the raw material! Duh!

If this wood is truly endangered and your nation wants to prevent new manufacturing using this material, then, sure, do that. Stop the importation, stop the use. It’s fine. But leave antiques alone you dolts. You are doing nothing for the trees, nothing for environmentalism, nothing useful to attack antiques.

All this is, is one more way for Herr Obama to use his power to intimidate the people with his police agencies. This manis an authoritarian nightmare and his extremist actions really do prove that we need to be gutting government power, not making it grow.
