What To Do! What To Do!

Progressives/liberals (BO, Pelosi, Reid, etc.) are deceivers/confusers.  They, at the core, are not liars, that is, they are not consistent liars; they are deceivers/confusers.  They will use the truth whenever necessary to confuse people.  They will boldly lie even though their lies contradict each other.  The object is not consistency; it is confusion.  For when people get confused they make mistakes.  When they enter the voting booth confused, they will often vote for the confuser/deceiver or at least vote in such a way that they negate the effectiveness of their vote.

The purpose behind this confusion is destruction.  The deceiver/confuser only desires to destroy anything that is orderly or good or beneficial. 

Why do they do this?  What does the deceiver/confuser seek to accomplish?  Maybe they seek nothing except destruction, confusion.  They seem to enjoy confusion, destruction.

So when someone tries to do what is good, orderly, beneficial, the deceiver/confuser looks for the slightest flaw in such a person and accuses, accuses, accuses.  No one is perfect and so even if someone tries to do what is good, orderly, beneficial, such a person will make mistakes.  The deceiver/confuser jumps on those flaws with alarming joy.  The deceiver/confuser/destroyer (DCD) will use those flaws to create more confusion and to hopefully destroy the person trying to do what is good, orderly and beneficial.

Even when the person making the mistake admits the mistake and confesses their flaws, that does not satisfy the DCD until the person making the mistake is destroyed and rendered ineffective.  Destruction and confusion is the goal of the DCD.  The DCD will demand that the person making the mistake be punished to the ultimate, destruction.

But don’t the DCD ever admit their mistakes?  Oh yes, they will, WHEN they are cornered, but not before.  An example of that is Weiner. When the DCD is trapped by painting themselves into a corner, they will “confess”, admit their mistake, but will not subject themselves to any kind of consequence or punishment.  If any one demands punishment, the DCD will accuse the one demanding of incivility, lack of compassion, ruthlessness, lack of loving kindness, even though the DCD will never show that civility, compassion, mercy and kindness for someone else who may have been trying to do what is orderly, beneficial, and good (OBG), but made a mistake.  The DCD will demand that the OBG live up to their standards while the DCD refuse to do live up to those standards.  In fact, the DCD use this situation to create more confusion: “See, they don’t even live up to their own standards.  Why do they expect us to live up to them?”  “They are nothing but hypocrites.” 

Another example of this is abusive people.  When they are caught, they plead for mercy.  If they are not granted mercy, they accuse those who accuse them of abuse of lack of love and compassion.  But if they catch the other person in a mistake or “flaw”, they show no compassion or they use compassion to create confusion.  That confusion keeps the other person in the power of the abuser because the other person does not know what to do next.  The abused is looking for guidance and if some OBG does not give guidance, they will look for guidance anywhere, even from the DCD, the abuser.  They are hooked.

That is what is happening in our society today and in our politics today.  The DCD have created so much confusion that people don’t know what to do next.  Unless some OBG steps up and gives guidance, people will look to whomever will offer guidance, even to the DCD.  For DCD project confidence.  They project confidence because they believe that no one will call them out, no one will confront them.  And they are confident because they only believe in confusion, that is, they believe in nothing except confusion and destruction and deception.  So they confidently deceive and confuse because they do not have to be consistent.  It makes no difference if someone points out their errors, mistakes, deceptions; they just throw up more confusion, deception and destruction.  Even if someone should show them their deceptions, their subtle response is: “So?”  “So you have shown me exactly what I have been trying to do all along.  Big whop!  What’s your point?”

If someone says to them: “You shouldn’t do that”, their answer is “Why not?  Don’t you even do that?  Are you so self-righteous as to claim that you have never told a lie, deceived, confused people?”  And so even if you would never have done that, you are wrong because you are self-righteous or you are ridiculed as so stupid as to believe that you are perfect and if you admit you have also done that, then they claim they cannot understand why you are so hard on them; you are being rigid, loveless, lacking compassion.  Aha, they have trapped you.  You cannot judge them because you are not perfect.

Ah, confusion, what a beautiful thing!  It works wonders like destroying everyone and everything.  It is interesting that Saul Alinsky dedicates his “Rules” to Satan.  Satan is the optimum DCD.  His goal is nothing else than destruction and he does it by confusion and deception.  If someone accuses him of deception, his response is “So?  And what are you trying to say by accusing me of that?”

So what do we do?  How do we put a stop to this?

We can’t put a stop to this.  A DCD never stop being a DCD unless he wants to.  No one can force a DCD to be otherwise.

So what do we do?  We work on ourselves.  We work on doing whatever is orderly, beneficial, good.  And when we recognize we have not lived up to our own standards, we DO NOT quit.  Rather, we admit our failures, ask for forgiveness and keep plodding ahead, knowing that we will be viciously attacked by the DCD.  The DCD cannot stand someone who is focused on doing OBG.  It creates angst and anxiety for them.  They will do whatever they can to destroy such a person.

So be it!  That need not cause us to try to become DCD.  What a horrible state to be in!  Being DCD means ending up in destruction.  That is not a happy place.  If someone desires to be there and remain there, the only thing we can do is strive our hardest to do OBG and hopefully entice the DCD out of their DCD.  And in the meantime we can enjoy whatever OBG happens in spite of the DCD.

What Makes Us American?

My daughter wrote a blog about my maternal grandmother who emigrated to this country when Grandma Anne was 16.  When she was 78, she traveled back to Norway to visit a sister she had not seen for 62 years.  Her sister told her that Anne should stay in Norway now.  Grandma Anne didn't even hesitate: "No, America is now my home," she said.

That sort of thinking on the part of my grandmother started me thinking about what makes us Americans.  Are we Americans because we believe in freedom?  Hardly!  There are many people in the world in other countries who believe in freedom.  Is it that we are born in America?  No, because then my grandmother would not have been American.  Is it that we speak American-English?  No, because many of the early immigrants did not speak English when they came here.  Is it that we have relatives here or family here?  My grandmother said America is her home; her family is there.  Yet she still had family back in Norway.  That is not what made her American.  Well, what makes us American?

There is only one answer.  An American is one who takes an oath to live under the Constitution.  The legal immigrants go through a process to prepare them to take a public oath to support and live under the Constitution of this country.

Granted, speaking a common language, American-English can be extremely beneficial in our daily tasks and our relationships, business and personal.  But there are many people who may speak American-English and still are not American.  People from many other countries have been taught our language, but are still citizens of their home countries.  There is only one characteristic that makes us American and that is committing ourselves to living by the Constitution.

But what does that say about Nancy Pelozi when she ridicules the question of whether the Constitution allows Congress to create and pass a certain bill?  Sounds like she is not American.  Or what about BO when he makes it known that he doesn't care what the Constitution or Congress say; he is going to do what he wants?  He doesn't sound American.  Or what about the California state government passing a law to not use the electoral college any more?  Doesn't sound very American.  Or what about our Congress in WDC passing Obamacare even though it contradicts the Constitution?  Those officials must have forgotten they are American.

So, what do we do about those officials, the President, the Representatives, the Senators, the bureaucrats, the czars, etc who show bold disrespect for our Constitution?  Well, if we can we educate them.  If they refuse to submit themselves to the Constitution, we remove them from their office because they have violated their oath of office and we elect others who will submit themselves to what makes us American, our commitment to the Constitution.  Oh, this will not happen overnight or in one election.  It will take longer than that.  But we must keep up the effort because if we give up seeking to live by the Constitution we stop being Americans, no matter if we have family here, if we speak American-English or we work here, live here or anything else.  It is the Constitution that shows us freedom and it is the Constitution that protects that freedom.  Without the Constitution we are nothing by serfs and slaves of the political ruling class.

LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!

Disapproval Process

Do you know that the in this bill just passed to raise the debt limit Congress included a statement that give BO the authority to raise the debt limit whenever and however he wants UNLESS Congress DISAPPROVES?  This is called the "disapproval process."  It is found on page 30 section 301 of the bill.
The Congress does this with anything they consider too hot for them to handle.  They just turn it over to some bureaucrat.  That way they can avoid having to vote on or even debate the question.  It will take place automatically unless Congress disapproves.  That way they can hide under the guise that they still maintain control when what they have really done is abdicated their control.  BO can raise it anytime he wishes and any amount he wishes without ever letting anyone know.
Congress has done exactly the same with their pay.  They passed a law some time ago that states their pay will automatically be raised unless Congress disapproves.  How would you like to have your pay increase unless you disapprove?  You see, that way they do not have to subject themselves to the embarrassing process of debating the pay raise.  And so no one is aware of the raise unless they become aggressive and search for it.  That is the "disapproval process."
That is why so many are jumping up and down and screaming whenever the grassroots freedom movement (GFM) starts asking questions.  We are threatening their gravy train---automatic pay raises while shirking all their responsibilities.  What the GFM is asking for is for Congress to take on their responsibilities.  And members of Congress are screaming bloody murder, calling the GFM terrorists simply because the GFM wants Congress to take their responsibilities seriously.
Imagine what that says about those members of Congress that won election in '10 because of the awesome support of the GFM and then stabbed the GFM in the back by voting for this debt limit increase that goes on without end.  Talk about traitors.  No wonder the GFM is starting to have questions about some they supported previously.  Indeed, anyone of the GFM that did not have questions about these back-stabbers would be fools.
Well, what do we do?  We keep substituting others into the lineup until we find those who will do what is right and good for the country.  That may take many elections but so be it.  We cannot give up, because if we do we, like the back-stabbers, will be letting our country go right down the toilet.  We must keep working for those we believe will do what is right.  Then, if they fail us, as some will, we move on to some one else.  We keep trying different parts until the parts work as they should.  It is a very slow process, but at least this process is moving in the right direction unlike the Congress and executive and even the judicial branches are now heading.
WE HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US.  GO GFM!!!!!

The Brushfires Of Freedom

"It does not require a majority to prevail...but a tireless, irate minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." (Sam Adams)  What is even more exciting is "freedom only needs to be started; slavery needs to be enforced."  That is what scares the Progressives.  The Tea Party is a brush fire and it is spreading like wild fire.  They are working their tails off trying to put out this brush fire, but there is so much timber for this fire, it is getting out of control.
Isn't it interesting that the opponents of the Tea Party, the grassroots freedom movement, try to remind us that America and our founding fathers used to have slavery.  That fact is true, but what the Progressives are saying is that the grassroots freedom movement (GFM) is not perfect.  "See, their history has slavery in it which needed to be removed."  Ah yes, that is correct.  And removed it was.
But you do not see or hear anyone saying: "There was freedom in your past which needed to be corrected."  No, everyone wants to be on the side of freedom.  People flock to this country because it is the freest in the world.  Nor do you ever hear it said: "There you finally got rid of that freedom."
What is really sad is that the Progressives are trying to enslave us again.  Oh, they have not used the military yet, but they do use the IRS with its 16,000 new double barreled shotguns.  They use government overspending to enslave us under horrendous debt.  Reminds me of the "company towns" that were used to enslave mine workers---raise the prices of every necessary item so that the workers could not get away---they were always in debt.  They use fear tactics: "What will you do if the government does not give you your welfare and Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid?...The USA economy will fail if we refuse to raise the debt limit."  They raise taxes so that none of us can grow and succeed because if we do we will be a threat to their centralized planning, their Nazi/socialist state.  They use guilt by accusing the GFM of not caring for the poor since the GFM does not want the government to cram wealth redistribution down the throats of the people through taxes and welfare.  "The Tea Party is a bunch of hard hearted, gun-toting thugs," the Progressives say.  (That sounds like a description of our present government, doesn't it?  Can you say "projective identification"?)
So what do we do?  We keep setting brushfires of freedom.  Freedom is the desire of every human heart.
No one desires slavery, if they are given a choice.  Slavery, whether by government or by individuals, has to enforced; it does not grow from the heart.  It only grows in the hearts of people who want power, people who consider themselves much more intelligent than those who deserve slavery, people who have been trained at the Ivy-League schools which makes them superior to the rest of us.  A person kidnapped and raped does not say: "I want more of that."  A person robbed at the point of a gun (our government?) says: "Please, give me more of that robbery stuff."  A person being shot by a gun does not say: "Please, shoot me again."  Only mentally deranged people set free from prison say: "Please, imprison me again."
So, you see, what we need to do is to keeping the fires of freedom burning.  There is plenty of "timber/brush" out there that will catch on fire and even though the Progressives may stem its spread, it will keep burning either out in the open in a wild fire or smoldering under cover waiting for another opportunity to flash into the open.
Man, that is kind of terrifying, isn't it?  An explosive wild fire is just waiting to burst out into the open.  Of course, it is only terrifying to the Progressives, those who do want freedom for themselves (note the exemptions the Congress/government gives itself and its friends/supporters whenever it passes a new law or regulation), but do not want freedom for the rest of us.  Watch out, Progressives!  The more pressure you put on the smoldering freedom fire, the more ferocious it will be each time it bursts into the open air.
For the rest of us (the GFM), it is not terrifying, but exciting and exhilarating!  What a time to be alive!  We are in a fight that promises freedom/real life to people world-wide.  Keep up the good fight GFM!!!!

Are We Becoming Totalitarian?

"The chance of imposing a totalitarian regime on a whole people depends on the leader's first collecting round him a group which is prepared voluntarily to submit to that totalitarian discipline which they are to impose by force upon the rest." (The Road To Serfdom, F A Hayek, edited by Bruce Caldwell; The University Of Chicago Press, 2007; p 159)
Is this where we are heading or at least where BO and the ruling class is trying to lead us?  It is beginning to look like the ruling class would love to have a totalitarian regime.  BO has said he wants to drastically reform America.  He never said where he wanted to take us, except to spread our wealth around.  And he has certainly collected around him a group which is prepared to voluntarily submit to the totalitarian discipline and to impose it by force on the rest of us.  Why do you think they bought so many double barreled shotguns for the IRS after BO became president.  They obviously are expecting to force us to submit to the totalitarian regime at the end of a barrel of a double barreled shotgun.
The excuse they give so often is that we need to move faster than the Constitution allows the government to move.  Gridlock in WDC really distrubs the totalitarians because it does not allow them to move with speed to accomplish their tasks.  And so FDR admired Benito Mussolini because he accomplished wonderful things in a short period of time.  And so BO followers admire Mao Tsetung because he was a wonderful philosopher who could accomplish marvelous things with great speed.
Aha! That is exactly why our Constitution was written to tie government up.  Haste makes waste and also totalitarian regimes.  Isn't it interesting that today when our government needs to get something done, it is under the duress of an emergency.  They use deadlines to make everyone feel like we must move with speed and as a result no one gets a chance to calmly consider whatever legislation or executive order is being proposed.  This is a wonderful environment for creating a totalitarian regime, one that rules from executive order and not from carefully considered legislation.  But to get the work done with speed and haste we need to delegate to czars the power to make decisions for the rest of us.  The problem is we have czars who are self-proclaimed socialists/communists/nazis/fascists.
But a bigger problem for us are the ruling class in Congress who will not resist the movement toward totalitarianism in our executive branch.  Is it because they feel the need for totalitarianism or is it because they have no spine and just wilt in the face of these totalitarians.  Either way, we need to find a way to move that ruling class out and move in some who will shrink our government back to Constitutional size.

What To Do About Liars

How can we effectively deal with outright liars?  (You probably know who I am talking about.)
There is only one way.  Just keeping repeating the truth over and over again.
Oh, the liars will say that we are monotonous, that we never come up with anything new.
While that is itself an obvious lie, the question still begs itself: SO WHAT?  If what we are saying is the truth, why do we need to change it?
Granted, that does not mean that we will not learn, but just because the truth is monotonous does not mean we should stop repeating it.  Rather, since it is the truth, we should shout it that much louder.
It is always a temptation to try to outfox a liar, but it never works.  The liar does not care if he is outfoxed. He will just create new lies.
The problem with liars is that they are destructive.  You see, that is their whole goal, destroy the truth, make it look foolish, out of date, monotonous, repetitive.  But they are not satisfied with destroying the truth.  They desire the destruction of everything around them so that they can profit big time from the confusion.  In the confusion they can create more of their devilish, destructive works.
And so, Alinsky acknowledges in his book the "first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment", Lucifer, the devil himself, the chief of liars.  Alinsky is not interested in creating anything; he is solely interested in destroying everything.  That way everyone will be on his level, no one will have an upper hand.  It will be "every man for himself."  That is the purpose of lieing, creating utter destruction and confusion so every one will be at the bottom level.
Truth does just the opposite.  It builds people up.  When it sees someone struggling, it speaks to the situation with honesty so that the struggling can find the way out.  It does not condescend to the struggling one as liars do.  It offers a helping hand, not a condescending hand.  It teaches a person to fish so that person can eat for a lifetime, instead of just handing the person a fish for one or two meals.  Truth helps a person out of poverty instead of keeping him/her there for later handouts.  And so truth builds people up, giving them self-esteem instead of preventing them from climbing out.
But liars don't like this.  They get very angry when their bluff is called.  They consider truth tellers obnoxious because like little children, they do not get to have their way.  And so they kick and scream bloody murder with threats of killing free speech and all freedoms.  The liars want the truth tellers to continue to feed their habits.
The problem with lieing is that it is self-destructive.  If everyone ends up destroyed, the liars will have no one to fleece any more.  Then what will they do?  They will simply shrivel up and blow away, but in the meantime they will have destroyed everything the truth tellers have tried to build.
So what do we do?  We need to keep speaking the truth and we need the guts to stand against the onslaught of the liars.  If we don't we will all end up back in a primitive society where we will subsist until something new can be built by the truth.
Which would you rather have?
