"To The Barricades!"

"To The Barricades!"
US Rogue Congress Must Be Thrown Out In 2010.
A Commentary by: J. D. Longstreet
**************************
America has now had the opportunity to see what a socialist government can do to America. We have seen the current US government -- made up of Socialists, Marxists, Communists, Progressives, and a mere sprinkling of real Democrats -- nearly cause the collapse of the greatest nation ever to grace the globe. In a matter of months they brought America to its knees in humiliation before the world. They managed to do what all of America's enemies have never been able to do. America nearly capitulated.

But, thanks to the old moss-backed conservatives in the hinterlands of the nation continuously shouting the alarm and rallying the apathetic citizenry, Americans found their spine and during the past couple of months they have been rousing their fellow Americans, lovers of freedom, to fight back. The battle was joined and those conservatives who would not bow, who would not surrender the freedom, the liberty, our forefathers fought, bled, and died to preserve for us, have managed to fight the rogue government with a vigor they have not seen in a VERY long time. And we must keep it up!

Much has yet to be done to roll back as much of the government intrusion into our daily lives as we possibly can. Much has yet to be done to repair the damage to the democratic representative republic done by the socialists in Washington. If we are to prevail completely, we have no time to lose. We must begin reconstruction immediately.

The most important election in the history of the United States is coming up in November of 2010. Do not be surprised if the socialist government of the United States makes a massive effort to stop the elections scheduled for November of 2010. There ARE ways to do it and I expect them to try anything they can to remain in power.

Under Article one, Section four, Clause one, of the US Constitution, the Congress has broad authority to postpone elections in the event of a national emergency situation. DO NOT KID YOURSELF: The US Congress DOES have, by statute, the power to "postpone" the elections scheduled for November 2010. The Supreme Court has already ruled on that power.

Think about it. In this era of terrorist attacks and with the national economy on the ropes, how difficult would it be to FIND a national emergency, or... God forbid... create one, in order to declare a national emergency and "postpone" the elections. For an interesting read on this question go: HERE.

We must not be deterred. We must demand that free elections in the United States be allowed to happen in November of 2010 -- and -- WE must be prepared to go to the polls in great WAVES of voters fueled with righteous indignation at the way our democratic representative republic has been shoved aside by a power hungry leftist elite bent on paving the way for the United States to join in a one world government, or global governance.

Some are saying the Democratic Party is worried because their own polling is showing they could lose 30 seats in the House of Representatives TODAY!

With 60% of the electorate against the healthcare bill the socialists in Congress are determined to pass into law OVER our protestations, is there any question the democrats stand to lose many more than 30 seats in the House? Is this impetus enough for the incumbents to begin thinking of some way to postpone the inevitable?

The American electorate has begun to stir. The sleeping tiger is twitching, and when fully awake, its roar is devastating.

Many months ago, I wrote that the one thing the democrats could be counted on to do was "overreach." NOW you see what I meant. They cannot help themselves. Their lust for power is overwhelming and they are slaves to it as much as any drug addict is a slave to the drug of his/her choice. They train much of their young lives in our leftist universities to "Make a Difference" and they emerge as the "best and the brightest" believing their own propaganda and they make it their life's work to SAVE us from ourselves by running our lives for us from the cradle to the grave. After all, THEY are smarter they we. THEY know what is good for us and what is not. How dare we question their right to dictate our lives?

They become socialists/communists but they refer to themselves as communist party members have for decades: "PROGRESSIVES."

And they have control of the US Government from the White House to both houses of the Congress. This must change or the United States cannot survive.

We conservatives must work as we have never worked before to re-claim our country. Our national legislature must, once again, truly be representative as it was meant to be.

We have roughly one year to save the republic.

Those in charge in Washington can already see the handwriting on the wall. They know they have only until next November to get their way with their socialist ideas. They will be working furiously during the next eleven months, or so, to ram through the Congress as much of their program as they possibly can. It will be up to conservatives to stop them, to bottle them up, to confuse their plans, until we can vote them out of office next November.

These are perilous times for the republic. Once made aware of the danger, my expectation is that Americans will rise to the occasion as we always have when our nation is in peril.

That Southern Gentleman, planter, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and first President of the United States of America, George Washington, once said: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” President Washington also said: “The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.”

So, what is it to be fellow Americans -- free men or slaves? If we are to be free men we have one year to secure our freedom. Just one year.

A “Bail-Out” Bill For Newspapers?

A “Bail-Out” Bill For Newspapers?

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

Call it what you like, but what it REALLY -- is a “Bail-Out” bill for newspapers!

It is S.673 and its official name is: "Newspaper Revitalization Act." The bill was introduced by Senator Ben Cardin, a Democrat of Maryland, and so far, it has only one co-sponsor and that is Senator Barbara Mikulski, also a Democrat, and also of Maryland.

The proffered deal is, as we understand it, predicated upon the newspaper, being bailed out, becoming a non-profit organization of some sort. That would require restructuring as a 501 (c ) (3) organization. You can learn more about it HERE.

Do you suppose the reason this bill seems bereft of co-sponsors might have something to do with the fact that it is intended to bail-out newspapers and the good Senators are scared witless that if they dare co-sponsor this bill they will be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail by their constituents back home? I wonder. HUMM.

There is one thing we know for certain, and can be easily proved, and that is that the bulk of the news industry, at least in the USA, is far and away leftist in their political beliefs. And we know this: The mainstream media has been a supporter of Obama since day one and continues to act as cheerleaders for him and for his policies with every publication.

There is one other thing we know, as well. If the Senate wants a knock-down, drag-out, fight on it’s hands, a fight with it’s very own constituents, then all it has to do is bring this bill to the floor of the Senate.

For you folks who reside in the hallowed city of Washington, DC, cut-off from the real world where the “Great Unwashed,” your constituents, reside, you need to be made aware of something. To us, the Mainstream Media is a laughing stock. It is a JOKE! We even have little “pet” names for the various left-wing publications.

We knew, long before Election Day in 2008, that the media was “in the tank” for Obama. One would have had to be deaf, dumb, and blind, not to see it. Nothing has changed since, except the passion with which the MsM defends Obama’s policies. If anything they have become even MORE passionate about Obama’s blatantly obvious socialist tendencies.

Back on July 21st of 2008, Rasmussen Reports reported the following: The idea that reporters are trying to help Obama win in November has grown by five percentage points over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, taken just before the new controversy involving the New York Times erupted, found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help the Democrat with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.


Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.” Read the entire article HERE. That report was made in July of 2008, several months before the election.


A “Bail-Out Bill” for newspapers has actually been bantered about as a joke for several months now amongst lowly taxpayers. Most never suspected the Congress was THAT DUMB! Apparently, we were wrong! They are THAT DUMB!


I don’t know about you, but I will be firing-off another e-mail to my Senators and to my Congressman strongly suggesting they not support such a bone-headed action in their respective body of the Congress. Like many of my readers, I have come to suspect that most of my e-mails fall victim to the “delete” key about as fast as they arrive at their destination in DC, but, hey, we must keep trying!


You know, I continue to look at news article (cited above) on that Senate bill and it is STILL difficult to see it as anything but a joke. It is a sad commentary on the state of our legislative body in America today.


We have a chance to do something about it in November of next year. It is NOT TOO EARLY to begin readying ourselves to remove as many of the folks now occupying seats in the worst Congress in the history of the US and replacing them with representatives to the two bodies sworn to actually represent us in this Representative Republic. If we don’t, what is left of the “Representative” part of Representative Republic will be completely gone and we will have a Socialist Republic. We are extremely close, even now. Some say we are virtually indistinguishable from a socialist state already.


If we are to save what is left of our country, we are going to have to work harder than we ever worked during the campaigning season. The first thing to remember is -- it is never too early to begin to fight back.
