There are fundamental flaws in how American government operates today,
contrary to the Constitution and the vision of a representative republican form of governance.
I intend doing something about it: by educating and informing others who
are not even aware of the dangers.

PPACA: Smashing Success!

Every now and then, I do run across someone who gets it.  It's from one perspective and yet it does demonstrate how Americans are being fleeced of their property and liberty.

Please share and give credit to Mr. Root and to FoxNews for telling the truth!



Why ObamaCare is a fantastic success

You can read the article and watch a related video here courtesy of FoxNews.

There are two major political parties in America. I’m a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I’m a Republican. 
How stupid is the GOP? They still don’t get it. 
I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago ("The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide"), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that ObamaCare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.
The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a “trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT. 
This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism. 
It’s not a failure, it’s Obama’s grand success. 
It’s not a “trainwreck,” ObamaCare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.
Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky -- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinksky’s stated advice was to call the other guy “a terrorist” to hide your own intentions. 
To scream that the other guy is “ruining America,” while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again…in every sentence of every speech…that you are “saving the middle class,” while you are busy wiping out the middle class.
The GOP is so stupid they can’t see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack. 
The tell-tale sign isn't the disastrous start to ObamaCare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that. 
The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop ObamaCare “terrorists.” 
There’s the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that. 
They are calling the reasonable people…the patriots…the people who believe in the Constitution ... the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed…the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt…terrorists? 
That’s because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class…are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public. 
ObamaCare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts:
1. ObamaCare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream -- redistribution of wealth.
Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote for Democrats). 
Think about it. If you’re rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own health care costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people’s costs too (through massive tax increases). 
So you’re stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.
2. ObamaCare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government.Think about it. Even Obama’s IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can’t possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless. 
Bingo. That’s how you make middle class people dependent on government. That’s how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.
3. As a bonus, ObamaCare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs.Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.
4. ObamaCare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP.Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by ObamaCare. 
Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small Business.
Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can’t write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the “mother’s milk” of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo. 
That’s the point of ObamaCare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.
5. ObamaCare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful.It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of ObamaCare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets. 
By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign. 
Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups? 
Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.
6. ObamaCare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers.That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes -- thereby guaranteeing Obama’s friends never lose another election, and Obama’s policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he’s out of office.
Message to the GOP: This isn’t a game. This isn't tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism. 
This isn't a trainwreck. It's purposeful suicide. 
It's not failing, it's working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.
Oh and one more thing…Conservatives aren't “terrorists.” We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost…forever.

Attention: The World's Last Chance


This coming November, the American People will decide the future of the nation and the so-called free world. This is going to be more than a contest between the two dominating political parties and the liberal or conservative agendas each purport to uphold.



No, this November's Presidential election will decide whether the United States of America will be a sovereign nation, or like many of its European brethren, succumb to a Corporate State such as is the European Union. There is no other alternative when you take an honest look at what the choices are and how the privately-owned major media further inhibits choice by focusing on the chosen few that will make little difference in truly changing the course of this nation and restoring it to the thriving republic that was both the envy and the goal of every other nation.

There are other nations who have people awakening to the beat of the drums of liberty, but the sounds of guns and artillery fire are drowning them out. How we handle our own freedom will determine more than our own fate.

Barack Hussein Obama a.k.a. Barry Soetero, a.k.a. The illegitimate occupier of the Presidency, has done more to undermine the well-being of the United States than all of our enemies could do in over two hundred years. That includes destroying the manufacturing base that was the industrial backbone that kept America thriving. And it also includes the collusion with the privately-owned Federal Reserve System to bankrupt the United States and force the nation to acceptance of a new currency and a new government. In other words, the end of the Republic that was once based on the Constitution.

I listen very carefully as all of his would be opponents debate and orate the issues and the dangers of another four years of an Obama White House. Romney touts his experience in business as a positive. In business I am sure he is adept, but the record indicates that his ability to work with a liberal majority leaves much to be desired. If the issue was only health care then Dr. Ron Paul would seem to be the most qualified to deal with that issue. If it was merely a matter of repealing laws and freeing up businesses to operate without suffocating government regulations and taxes then Newt Gingrich would seem adequate. If it wasn't for his proven dishonesty and marital infidelity he might make a good cabinet member.

Then there is former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum who is portrayed as a good Catholic family man with impeccable morals and a social policy that would take the same strict religious doctrines and imp[pose them as federal law. Like both Romney and Gingrich, Santorum is all for attacking Iran preemptively to protect our ally Israel, even knowing that Israel stated by way of the speech given by Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress, that Israel does not need the U.S. to help. Since neither we nor Israel depends on any oil from Iran why do we even care? When Israel discovered Syrian nuclear intentions they handled it. And America condemned their actions in the White House and Congress. Only Congressman Ron Paul stood and defended Israel's right to defend itself without requiring any permission from the U.S.

Although his opponents and all of the media call him an isolationist and claim that his foreign and military policies will leave the nation defenseless, Ron Paul receives more support in contributions and currently voter support from the military than all of the other GOP candidates and the President combined. Why is that so? Could they possibly know more about what is going on in battle than what is reported in the media? Do you think that just because a foreign news source shows a differing perspective that theirs is any more correct or unbiased as the ones we see here on our national networks? Don't you think that their media is also biased, only not in favor of the bullies of the globe?

There are many issues that can be debated and discussed through the next millennium and some may get resolved and others will not. The only issue that really matters to all Americans is whether we want to be a nation of free and sovereign individuals or slaves. Yes, really I do mean slaves because that is what will happen if America defaults. The banks are licking their chops already because they have been given so much of our money that at least the next two or three generations will be paying the debts incurred in the present.

Only Ron Paul has put out a truly comprehensive and yet simple plan to restore our nation to Constitutional law and save its solvency. His $1 Trillion dollar cuts in his first year in office will do more to restore economic stability that all of the other plans including the nation destroying current one. And removing five cabinet departments will deregulate mores businesses which will promote growth in the private sector. It will be needed as President Paul will be bringing troops home from around the world, no longer being the policemen for every nation that “wants protection” from their enemies. They must shoulder the economic burden, not U.S. Taxpayers, with their money and the lives of their family members.

I am not a Democrat nor a Republican so as a local favorite talk show host likes to say, “I don't have a dog in the fight.” However, I am an American, a natural and native-born son. And as the city of my birth is also credited as being the birthplace of a nation, it is my patriotic duty to also uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, from all enemies both foreign and domestic. And while I do not hold office nor am I a sworn enforcement officer, it would be negligent of me not to make known to the public any infraction of the law that is perpetrated on the People.

I do not trust that the man who now calls himself President of the United States is qualified to hold that office any longer. He has demonstrated his inability to govern in every manner possible; leaving our nation an embarrassment as a once great power, now a bankrupt nation, not only in financial capital but moral capital as well.

We have candidates that are propped up by the GOP as the best to beat Obama, but truth be known, he is already defeated:  it only remains to choose who will lead us with policies of freedom and choice, of reducing government and not expansion, who will restore sound economic and monetary policies. In addition, a candidate who will embrace commerce and trade as the principle means of enjoying friendship with foreign nations and not military threats.

If we are to spread liberty throughout the world, it must be accomplished by example and not by force. We cannot force China to stop manipulating its own currency to remain competitive as Mitt Romney suggests, we need to have the capability restored for Congress to do the same thing so that our U.S. dollar remains strong and viable against the rest of the world's currencies. Ron Paul is the only candidate that fully understands this and has a plan to restore sound money.

Yet there is one more important reason why all freedom loving Americans need to follow what our troops are telling us and not the privately-owned major media. And that is Ron Paul will have a very strong military defense without having over one-half million troops stationed in foreign lands. And he will be strong on freedom for all Americans and will ask Congress to repeal the Patriot Act, the NDAA, will remove the TSA from all airports and place the security burden on the airlines where it belongs.

Ron Paul's answer to income tax is to repeal it also. Ending the Federal Reserve System and the Internal Revenue Service will mean that Congress and the Treasury Department will have more responsibility with accountability directly to the People. Many of the federal programs that funded States will no longer be necessary so the States and their residence will have more of their own money to do what is best for them and not what some bureaucrats in Washington think is best. That includes repeal of laws that restrict liberty of individuals and others that were never meant to be the jurisdiction of a national government.

So the choices are: Ron Paul and the restoration of liberty and the means for the United States to once again thrive or: A slow or rapid fall into a bankrupt nation that will be taken over and become a few provinces of a greater North American Union, complete with a new set of privileges for some and restrictions for all of the slave population that is fit enough to provide work. The rest will be a burden to the Corporate State and therefore an expense that cannot justify continuance.

And the Democrats accuse the Republicans of throwing Grandma over a cliff!

The Decline: The Geography of a Recession

This animation by Latoya Egwuekwe shows the shocking decline of jobs across the United States. But even with these startling statistics, it does not include many other Americans who are not counted for reasons such as part-time employment, ineligibility for unemployment benefits, businesses that were forced to close, etc. Including all figures would no doubt, bring the unemployment figure up into the 20%-30% range.



We need to stop electing party favorites and elect representation that works directly for the People and not the special interests. We need a President with the intestinal fortitude to stand up to big corporations and stop their interference with legislation and due process of law. We need to restore Constitutional integrity to the federal government.

We can accomplish all of this by simply making Ron Paul our President and supporting him with a Congress that will protect and defend the Constitution and not shred it.
