Memorial Day - apology withdrawn...I keep trying to think of things done for Americans by Europeans…but it is difficult to bring anything to mind.

Memorial Day

an apology withdrawn!

By Marilyn M. Barnewall
May 25, 2009

It is obvious to me that Barack Obama has little regard for the military… and no, I won’t call him “President” until I see a real, honest-to-God birth certificate or see which nation’s Passport he used while traveling abroad as a college student. Was it American, British, or Kenyan? Neither document is difficult to produce.

He is just a young man and doesn’t seem to this old woman to be very wise… or even very aware of which citizens from which nation provided him the power he now wields so carelessly around the world.

To my European friends, I say the following:

A man who carries the official title of President of the United States recently came to your continent and made apologies for American arrogance. I ask that you accept that apology as coming from the man, not the nation. I, personally, feel no sense of obligation to offer you an apology for the energetic American entrepreneurial spirit… something about which you seem to have little understanding – which is probably why you prefer socialism to capitalism.

You have my apologies for the behavior of the man who calls himself this nation’s President. On any given day, more Americans oppose his condescending behavior than approve it. He and his wife may not be proud of America. We, the people, are.

Memorial Day is special to us. This day, Americans honor heroes who died in our nation’s service – and our European friends should honor them, too. So many American men died in service on European soil.

On May 5, 1868, General John Logan (as in Denver’s Fort Logan where my Dad served in WWII) proclaimed the existence of Memorial Day in General Order No. 11.

Graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery were first decorated on May 30, 1868.

Southern women decorated the graves of Confederate soldiers even before the War Between the States ended in 1865.

In 1873, the state of New York first officially recognized this holiday. By 1890, all Northern states recognized Memorial Day. The South honored their dead on different dates until after World War I.

It was then Memorial Day was changed to honor all soldiers who died in service of our country rather than those who died just during the War Between the States… or, as some call it, the Civil War.

Because of all the above, I found Barack Obama’s apologies to European nations for American arrogance to be particularly offensive. Arrogant men do not tread the shores of foreign nation and die for a cause called “freedom.” Arrogant men do, however, minimize such efforts… and even apologize for them. Perhaps men who have not served their nation via military service do not understand such things. Being a military man is quite different than being a community organizer, I guess.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that be true, then I offer the following 20,000 words to explain why no apology from American to Europeans is necessary.

Article continues after the pictures.

1 The American Cemetery at Aisne-Marne, France; 2,289 American soldiers buried here

2. The American Cemetery at Ardennes, Belgium; 5,329 American soldiers buried here

3. The American Cemetery at Brittany, France; 4,410 American soldiers buried here

4. Brookwood, England American Cemetery; 468 Americans soldiers buried here

5. Cambridge, England; 3,812 American soldiers buried here

6. Epinal, France American Cemetery; 5,525 American soldiers buried here

7. Flanders Field, Belgium; 368 American soldiers buried here

8. Florence, Italy; 4,402 American soldiers buried here

9. Henri-Chapelle, Belgium; 7,992 American soldiers buried here

10. Lorraine, France; 10,489 American soldiers buried here

11. Luxembourg, Luxembourg; 5,076 American soldiers buried here

12. Meuse-Argonne; 14,246 American soldier buried here

13. Netherlands, Netherlands; 8,301 Americans buried here

14. Normandy, France; 9,387 American soldiers buried here

15. Oise-Aisne, France; 6,012 American soldiers buried here

16. Rhone, France; 861 American soldiers buried here

17. Sicily, Italy; 7,861 American soldiers buried here

18. Somme, France; 1,844 American soldiers buried here

19. St. Mihiel, France; 4,153 American soldiers buried here

20. Suresnes, France; 1,541 American soldiers buried here

This partial count… those American soldiers buried at these European cemeteries – and that’s not all of them – totals 104,366. And then, we have Arlington and all of the other veterans’ cemeteries around America and Europe where our WWII (and WWI) veterans are buried.

Who owes whom an apology and for what? Maybe Europeans should apologize to Americans for not managing their governments well enough to avoid having to call on the United States to shed the blood of its youth on foreign soil?

I keep trying to think of things done for Americans by Europeans… and I know I’m getting old, but it is difficult to bring anything to mind.

You tell me who is arrogant!

Exclusive ! The Obama Birth Cerificate Question !

Exclusive: A Letter to Rupert Murdoch on the Obama Birth Certificate Question

John D. Hemenway, Esq.

Editor’s note: The following is a letter written by John D. Hemenway, Esq. that was sent to NewsCorp CEO Rupert Murdoch via certified mail.

May 14, 2009

Dear Rupert,

You will likely not have retained a clear memory of me from Worcester College in the early fifties. Much time has elapsed from when we both read “P.P.E.” under Asa Briggs and the others. I had looked forward to cementing our friendship when the death of your father caused you simply to “disappear” from those at Worcester.

Much later, during several visits to my Washington, D.C. home, my moral tutor, David Mitchell, filled me in on the magnificent assistance you provided the College. Perhaps you also had something to do with the “Mitchell Building” erected just off Walton Street.

Everyone who shares your views is pleased at the nearly unprecedented success story you have made of your life. I was very pleased when you became an American, even if some persons attributed your motivation as calculated to expand your economic interests. Pure jealousy! You and your accomplishments have been good for us all.

From time to time, I try to keep up with interesting details concerning your news empire. From that reading, I am certain you and I have many opinions in common. I subscribe to the N.Y. Post, which one can acknowledge is “tabloidish,” but describes real N.Y. City life and the Post’s editorial staff certainly offers solid opinions pertaining to U.S. governmental problems. “Fox News” also makes an outstanding contribution to public awareness of the issues confronting the country.

You may recall the vital contribution Worcester’s Provost John Masterman made to the winning of WWII; he was a key figure, as I remember, in organizing the counter-espionage effort against the Nazis. I write you now concerning a problem nearly of that magnitude.

Rupert Murdoch, Chairman, N.Y. Post

1211 Avenue of the America

New York, N.Y. 10036

That problem is this: the man now occupying the White House is likely Constitutionally unqualified to hold the office. As an adopted American, you will have studied the U.S. Constitution better than many Americans, and from P.P.E. studies know that the Constitution has flexible clauses and hard, literal clauses. One of the latter is the requirement of Article II, Section 1, which states: “No person except a natural-born citizen…shall be eligible to the Office of the President.”

There are indications that Obama cannot meet that requirement. As an attorney, I facilitated a lawsuit (Hollister vs. Soetoro et al.) in the United States District Court (D.C. Circuit) demanding that Obama produce his birth certificate or satisfactory substitute evidence. There are about 20 similar lawsuits across the nation. In my case, U.S. District Court Judge Robertson (a Clinton appointee), who summarily dismissed the case, and is rumored to be seeking an Obama appointment, wrote that Obama’s eligibility had been “blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry.” In other words, he accepted internet “blogs” in lieu of actual evidence.

He ordered me to “show cause” why I should not be sanctioned for promotion of a “frivolous” lawsuit. (It is significant that, although dismissed, none of the twenty odd similar legal actions have been designated by the responsible judge as “frivolous.”)

Other lawsuits have usually been dismissed for “lack of standing” including a lawsuit brought by Presidential candidate, Ambassador Alan Keyes. If anyone has standing, it is an actual Presidential contender. I provided Judge Robertson 37 pages of explanation as to “why I should not be held in contempt” and he decided to “reprimand” me instead of his threatened sanctions. That case is now under appeal.

Any rational person with even partial knowledge of the facts must know that Obama-cum-Soetoro is desperate to conceal something he does not want known. I believe he is hiding the fact that he and his campaign conspired to assert eligibility for the Presidential office to which he well may not be entitled. In other parts of the world, this would be known as a coup d’etat.

Yet, “mainstream” news services, members of officialdom, judges, including justices of the U.S. Supreme Court have all failed to demand documentation to prove or disprove Obama’s qualifications to serve in the White House.

It is as if a 53% vote is a substitute for an actual determination of the legal qualifications of Obama to be President. It is also evident that consequential people in America all believe the “vetting” of qualifications to be a presidential candidate should have been someone else’s responsibility. Revelation of this massive collapse of the fundamentals of the electoral process (ensuring candidate eligibility) at this point would make some very important people look hopelessly incompetent and inept.

Sadly, that includes your “Fox News.” There are reports that top management of Fox instructed its commentators to stay away from the subject – a strange position for a service that deservedly won a reputation for “fair and balanced” reporting. I cannot believe that you would issue such an order, with your good sense. Was it Roger Ailes or someone else? When I worked with Accuracy in Media (AIM) several decades ago, news manipulation by Ailes never filled the staff with confidence. On May 1, Sean Hannity referred to Ailes as his “boss!”

It is also disturbing that a report circulates that a Saudi national who bought enough stock to win a seat on the board of Fox’s parent company, a Saudi prince, asked you to stop Fox from referring to Muslim youth unrest as “Muslim” riots – he boasted later at a conference in Dubai, that after a phone call to you, thirty minutes later, Fox removed the banner from the bottom of its screen, “Muslim” riots. Given this revelation, many FOX devotees are wondering why the eligibility issue has been ignored by your network.

This constitutional question is one of vital importance to the U.S. It is not as if we wanted to startle our contemporaries with actions calculated to stir up our contemporaries as you once did at Worcester with your bust of Lenin. Or as I did when ruffling feathers of our stuffy dean (who guarded the door of “his” library from allowing anyone actually to touch one of his rare books). After you left for Australia to tend to family problems, I hung a huge American flag from the windows of the Nuffield Building on the 4th of July. The dean’s order (conveyed to me by my scout) still rings in my ears, “Take that damn thing down!”

The “natural-born” clause in our Constitution is a rigid, not a flexible clause. In that respect, it is analogous to the banning of “cruel or unusual” punishments, a clause dear to the hearts of our founding fathers. They certainly heard tales from their grandfathers drawn directly from English experience of ingenious cruelties accompanying the crime of “Regicide” after “dictator” Oliver Cromwell died peacefully in his bed. The fact that the English could not devise a way to govern themselves without inviting the king back may suggest that you modify somewhat your prediction (which I read somewhere) that this will be the last British generation that will live under a monarchy! I recall the first review of my educational “progress” at term’s end in “Hall” at Worcester when David Mitchell described my understanding of English history as limited to “King John was a bad king!”

Since you are now an American, and a good one, too, I have no doubt that you will seek to support the Constitution every way you think wise. Consider that, having won election on a campaign that promised “openness and transparency,” Obama now has spent close to $1 million for concealment of his birth and academic records, which are the only means to prove his eligibility. A birth certificate would cost less than $20.00 to request from the State of Hawaii.

Obama has produced no documents at all that would support his claim to eligibility to office. Is it no longer responsible to claim that “the public has a right to know the truth?” Moreover, even if born in Hawaii, as he claims, Obama’s travel to Pakistan (when Americans reportedly were banned from travel there) in 1981 raises other, complicated issues.

Why did his supporters produce a misleading “certification of live birth” instead of an actual vault birth certificate? Forensic experts have testified that the Certification of Live Birth is a forgery; written on a laser printer, when such printers were not available in 1961.

This evokes shades of Richard Nixon’s problems with typewriters (not just once, re: Alger Hiss; but a second time, when Nixon was caught back-dating documents for the I.R.S.) It makes me proud that in his secret tapes, Nixon referred to me, saying, “Fire the son-of-a-bitch, he’s done this before!” – a reference to my testimony before the Senate against incompetent or dishonest Nixon appointees, such as Helmut Sonnenfeldt (known locally as “Kissinger’s Kissinger) who failed confirmation as Deputy Secretary of Treasury because of my testimony before the Senate Finance Committee.

I also testified against the first “career” foreign service officer ever to fail confirmation in the 182 year history of the U.S. Senate: Howard Mace, who was Director of Personnel of the Department of State, who lost his appointment as Ambassador to Sierra Leone. Senate testimony may ultimately prove useful in this Obama matter, despite the composition of the Congress at this time.

Nixon’s firing order directly led me to study law at Howard University, the prestigious largely African-American University in Washington, D.C. Nixon’s denunciation of me, in fact, boosted me in the eyes of the Dean at Howard and got me to this point.

In conclusion, I can tell you this as fact. America badly needed your brilliant creation: Fox News. But if Fox News really is to be a voice for rational conservatism in the United States, it cannot ignore this vital constitutional question: We have a man occupying the White House who refuses to disclose the very documents that would legitimate his Presidency. Was it not a cover-up that undid Richard Nixon? Please instruct your personnel from Roger Ailes on down that they are encouraged (not forbidden) to report all of the news, including that pertaining to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

With best regards, your supporter, friend, and admirer,

Some employees are simply irreplaceable. ...Oh?

Replacing Michelle Obama...

Courtesy of Ernie Wass

At the top right-hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post’s January 24th, 2009 edition, was a short column entitled Replacing Michelle" in the National Review’s "The Week" column. This is very interesting, so here it is, word-for-word, as it appeared:

Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama... the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority

contracting."

In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 – nearly twice what her

husband made as a U.S. Senator. Oh, did we mention that her husband had just become a U.S. Senator? He sure did. Indeed, he requested a $1 million earmark for the University of Chicago Medical Center. Way to network Michelle!

But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be? If the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000? We can think of only one explanation... Senator Roland Burris' wife wasn't interested in the job. Let me add that Michelle's position was a part-time, 20-hour-a-week-job.

Our thoughts: How did this bit of quid-pro-quo corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin’s garbage and Kindergarten records...

"I'm telling you now... We have reached the point of no return"

This commentary from:

February 19, 2009

In the summer of 2005, I told my husband we had to sell our house and get out of California. I told him the housing market was going to blow sky high. John wasn't ready to retire and who likes to move? Then, he was diagnosed with cancer, so plans were put on hold. At the time, we owned a home in Natomas Park (Sacramento), which was ranked the number one planned development community in the U.S. around 2002-2004. I finally convinced John we had to get our house on the market. I came out here to Texas and bought this home in Texas in June 2006.

We didn't use our home as an ATM machine and were very lucky to sell it in September 2006. The rest of the dozens of homes within a few blocks of ours continued to sit on the market. John did retire as he could no longer work; we knew that was coming. He just had to hang on long enough out in Sacramento to get the house sold, closed and join me here in Texas.

The house across the street from ours sold in June 2005 for $405,000. Same floor plan as ours and square feet. Today it is appraised at $235,000. The house across the street on the other side of the aforementioned one sold for $655,000 (5 bdrm job) in July 2005. Today it is appraised at $319,000. The house we sold is now worth $190,000 less today than the day we closed escrow. Those owners will never be able to sell for what they paid. They'll either live there until they die or walk away.

Half of that highly desirable housing area is in foreclosure; auctions are twice a week. Had I not pushed John to get that house on the market and sold, we would still be in it and California where the taxpayers are being raped by their legislature in massive taxes to support some 8 MILLION illegals. Kissed and blessed by the movie "star," Arnie.

I'm telling you now as I have in my columns, writings and speeches for more than 15 years: We have reached the point of no return. We knew this was coming. It is here. What we're seeing right now coming out of Washington is an extension of the Fascism the Republican controlled Congress shoved down our throats for the 14 years they had power. The Democrats, who have had "power" since January 2007, in collusion with the impostor president, are moving us past socialism to pure communism and world government. Learn what these forms of goverment mean so you can recognize what is happening.

This is raw reality.

BIG trouble is coming down the pipeline at hyper speed right along with hyper inflation. No amount of words from professional politicans can change the numbers.

Those who continue to ignore the screaming red flags are going to suffer worse than if they took all steps possible to protect their assets. Trillions in pension funds are now at risk. I talked about this on my radio show recently. This is what the career politicans in Washington, DC, that keep getting elected over and over and over have allowed to escalate while they play their stupid political party games:

Little-known agency that insures pensions of 44 million workers braces for recession fallout

By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer
February 16, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) — The deepening recession spells trouble for a little-known government corporation that insures the pensions of 44 million workers and retirees.

"The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. already has an $11 billion deficit that seems sure to grow larger as Corporate America suffers through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. With companies reporting shortfalls in their pension funds, it's all but certain that the PBGC will be forced to take over the pension plans of a rising number of bankrupt businesses.

"That means more red ink at the corporation before things possibly can improve. The future financial health of the agency is hard to forecast. It is hinged on interest rates, the length of the recession and the PBGC's own luck in playing the market, where it has billions invested.

"The agency has $63 billion in assets. But it is obligated to spend $74 billion on pension benefits in the coming years. The PBGC might have time to rebound, but over the long term it might become insolvent and require a bailout."

Bailout with what? The people's treasury is overdrawn almost $11 TRILLION dollars with debt for obligations of close to $72 TRILLION dollars. Have you fainted yet? You can only put so much air into a bubble before it bursts.

The impostor president, Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka and so forth is going down over the citizenship issue. It's just a matter of time. There will be no change except some of the worst times this nation has faced since the "Great Depression." What Obama is doing is what FDR did. FDR with his toxic programs prolonged the depression:

http://home.hiwaay.net/%7Ebecraft/GreatDepression.pdf

Today on FOX News Network the new unemployment figure is 8.8%. That is misleading. It's much higher, but deception is what is being force fed to the American people. It will get much worse. There were 2.8 MILLION forclosures last year. If the 7 - 9 MILLION toxic mortgates is accurate, the situation is far, far worse than we thought.

This is 1933 Germany and the outlook is dire to put it mildly. Empty bellies make for angry mobs.

On September 25, 2008, I wrote a column titled: 'Bailouts: the wound that will keep on hemorrhaging.'

The patient is on the table bleeding to death. The "bail outs" and the MASSIVE back door tax increase (gang rape) called the stimulus package just passed will take America into a depression. Make no mistake about it because it IS underway. Some say within six months, others with decades of experience in the financial markets give us 18 months at the outside.

I encourage you to visit El Dorado Gold's web site and acquire gold. I'm not selling anything. I'm trying to help Americans understand history because it is now repeating itself.

January 5, 2009:

According to a recent Bloomberg report:

"The U.S. economy probably lost more jobs in 2008 than in any year since the end of World War II as firings rippled from homebuilders and automakers to banks and retailers, a government report may show this week.

"Payrolls fell 500,000 in December, bringing last year’s decline to 2.4 million, the most since 1945, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News ahead of Labor Department figures due Jan. 9. The unemployment rate likely jumped to the highest level since 1993."

That we are entering a depression is a fact that cannot be denied and nothing can stop it. Not phony "stimulus" packages or creating more government jobs that produce nothing. The American people must focus spending their consumer dollars with American companies and do whatever you can to protect your assets while we suffer through the next few years.

Millions of Americans have seen their 401(k)s that the "experts" said would be fine, plummet. As much as two or three years worth of on the job wages contributed, now gone forever. Millions of Americans who planned to retire have found themselves in such dire straights from the looting the past four months, they have to stay on the job. Those "golden years" have been stolen from them by a corrupt government and corrupt private corporations.

If only there was something good to report, but there isn't. Reality is here and now and it isn't pretty. The portrait will get much uglier by the end of the first quarter of this year. The so-called "stimulus" package being proposed for $1 trillion dollars that does not exist will be $2 trillion by the time the interest is paid to the private Federal Reserve Banking System.

Does that make any sense to you? These crooks in DC will borrow a trillion bux to "give" to voters who in turn owe twice the amount back to the central bank and their stockholders in interest.

The following commentary from Townhall.com

TAKING DOWN THE GREAT ALINSKYITE

Posted by Jesse "The Mind" Norman on Monday, May 25, 2009 9:00:00 AM

In my last blog I laid out the case that Obama isn't really an ideological politician. He is about an all-consuming power grab. Alinsky's book "Rules For Radicals" isn't only a step by step rulebook to accumulate power in order to bring about social change, but it is also really about accumulating power to the point it will not be lost. While Alinsky's intentions were for marxism to bring about "social justice", it can be used to do with whatever the person who accumulates that power feels like doing with it. This is all about power. Ideology restricts too much of the audience. Ideology can come later. Ideology has to be put aside until that power is accumulated. With our Consititution, the people have to give that power away willfully. That is happening right now. Obama is out to break people into blocks of voters. That is why he is still campaigning. He's turning people into blocks of voters and then conquering enough of them to keep him in power. That's why he's empowering his allies such as unions, media, other minions like ACORN. He also is gathering power unto himself in an eerie game of Monopoly. The banks, auto companies, again the media, and even friendly states are powers he will bring under his umbrella. That is what Alinsky learned in Chicago, but then mastered it beyond any philosophy any Chicagoan had. Accumulate blocks of voters. Accumulate people willing to do the dirty work while you stand back and put forth a positive message for the masses. Intimidate through the minions. Blind the masses to opposing messages. For this to work nationally however, conditions must be just perfect and it would take a transformational figure to pull it off. Economic hardships. Confusion. Conglomeration of important financial institutions. America having not the brain capacity to see through anything because they do not pay attention. No matter how bad things are and no matter how much America dislikes the policies, Obama must and will continue to put his smiling face out there because that will make enough Americans secure in him. "I can't stand what he's doing with this country. Look at what this moron is doing. He's taking down what this country stands for, but I like this guy. He's such a great guy. He's like me. Look at his smile." A majority hate his policies, but yet still approve of his job. Totally incongruent. That is the mindless state of America that he is able to make them hate his policies but adore him. The nonmixture of oil and water can only be seen by the unblinded. That's where the Obama acolytes come in. Blind the masses. It worked and unless something extraordinary is done, it will continue to work. In this blog, I will lay out how to beat Obama before it's too late. I have no doubts Obama will win in 2012. I have very little doubt to the abolishment of the 22nd amendment. Too much power already and too many allies. Within four months, President Obama has already become the most powerful president in US history. Once that amendment is abolished, we will have our first dictator since the British monarchy with King George III. If a candidate and people follow by these rules, we can divert off from this trajectory. I think this is what it will take. Do not think this is impossible. Dictatorships started somehow. Follow what Hugo Chavez has done and is continuing to do, then you will see the parallels to this President is undeniable.

Facts have to be amassed as allies: One must have a good grasp of facts to counter the lies which the American people have become blinded to thinking that are real facts. They have bought into the mindset that if you tell a lie long enough, it becomes fact. Be relentless with your stating of facts. You cannot overstate facts. You MUST not understate them. McCain understated every fact he brought up. The lies are too broad and spoken of from a point of view of fact upon the blindful masses. Use facts and use them until either the people give in or look into them. Footnote your facts. Always use footnotes when presenting facts. The best footnotes to use are the ones you will find occasionally slipping through the cracks of the mainstream media or liberal outlets. Enough people know of the liberal bias and what the biggest source for bias is, so if you use facts that favor your position from them it will go a long way. Use eloquence and strength when presenting facts. Put them in a way so there is no parcing of the word. Make sure the facts are presented in a way to remove any possible question to its authenticity. The biggest enemy to a liberal happens to be the biggest enemy to Alinsky's strategy that Obama is employing. Those are facts. Bring up that the most progressive states are the states that are the most in trouble. Bring up that no experiment into socialism works. One must be relentless about stating facts, and that I cannot overstate. Pound the drum until their ears bleed. Realize what you're up against.

Confrontation is your friend: I don't mean confrontation while pulling punches. I mean let go of the restrictions of that little box you're in. Throw out in a fury as if you were Floyd Mayweather. Civility is your enemy right now. I don't mean being violent. I mean say things the way they really are. Say them with conviction. Call Obama out. To beat Obama, a person MUST call him out. Don't be afraid of the media. They'll attack you anyway. You want them to attack you, but take the battle to Obama. Call him out. Get personal. Get very personal. Don't be above the fray as Obama appears to be. He can be. You can't. Do you have minions to work your will? He does. If you call him out, he will show more of his true colors. Get under his skin. Get into his melon. Make him respond to you personally. Because of his thin skin, it won't take much. Make the people aware of Saul Alinsky and how Obama said his book was better than any class he took in Harvard. As is the case in using facts, use this relentlessly until America looks into Alinsky. This will bypass the mainstream media. Their response will be to try to paint Alinsky as a humble community organizer. Enough of the people that look into him will see him differently. If you can do this, you can render Obama's minions impotent. Enough people can then awaken to the Alinsky strategy and how Obama is using it. Speak with the anger that the people of America who are aware of what's going on has. Do not plead with tone or words like McCain did when he used his "nice guy" voice time and time again during the campaign. You cannot do that and beat this man. Be as mad as Bob Dole, but be as eloquent as Obama. That takes a special person. So far, I haven't seen anyone that fits that bill.

Attack him personally only on issues: Nothing else. The other things may be sexy to bring up, but the mainstream media will only show those attacks while ignoring the others that actually carry weight to most Americans. People should have learned during the Clinton years that no matter how bad a personal scandal may be, it has nothing to do with what is really going on. The populace gets turned off by such things, unless it happens to conservatives. That is the ugly truth, so accept it. You cannot use the same strategy and expect it to work. There are enough issues to attack this President on, and if the American people knew what the facts were they would be more apt to listen to you. Again, put them in a direct, unquestionable way. Do exactly what Dick Cheney did. Speak firmly, eloquently, and call this Alinskyite out personally. He has very thin skin. That's Obama's biggest weakness. The more anyone dares to stand up to him, the more his true self he reveals. Joe "The Plumber" asked him a simple question and Obama let it slip that he wanted to spread the wealth. All he did to make Obama mess up was ask him a direct question. Obama attacked Joe which showed an ugly side. He was supposed to let his minions do his dirty work, but his thin skin caused him to go away from his positive, Manchurian Candidate message. It's very possible and even easy to take Obama off of his game and cause him to make mistakes. Palin was able to get into Obama's head so much he flubbed up when he made that lipstick on a pig comment. You could see on his face that he was trying not to say it, but he couldn't stop himself. She didn't do much to get under the skin except she had energy and charisma. She stole a bit of his thunder. Obama was intimidated by that because he thought he was the only one that had those two things, until McCain named her his VP candidate.

Fight back at the mainstream media: I've heard people say only go on friendly media networks and outlets. I couldn't disagree with that more. Go on those minion networks, even MSNBC. But instead of being a punching bag, attack them. Attack them and call them out for their bias. Don't be afraid. Confrontation is your friend, remember. Just as you do this to the mainstream media, do the same to Obama. Go after him as if you have nothing to lose. If you want to beat him, then don't worry about possibly turning some people off. As long as you do it on issues and use facts, they will not be turned off by you. The ones that will be turned off by that are the ones that have already pledged their allegiance so there's no chance of swaying them anyway. Fight back at the moment. Don't wait until you gather a press release. Fight back right there and use examples of their bias. Put them back on their heals. Show you are not afraid to fight anyone. This will also intimidate Obama. The American populace just might see it that you are fighting for them, not yourself. Either way, they will find respect for you for standing up for yourself and the issues you are passionate about. The American people are passionate and angry. Be their representative by matching their anger when you attack Obama and fight back against the mainstream media minions. Make them understand that you understand them. Make them feel like you are fighting with their voices.

These are the things I believe that will take down this President. Only after reading Alinsky's book and studying Obama personally am I able to suggest these things. He has glaring weaknesses. Expose them and be unrelenting at attacking them. Gather those who are equally willing to say things the way they really are. Gather the strong who will not be intimidated by the acolytes. That small coalition will be big enough to take the great Alinskyite down. Do not allow attacks upon you to go unanswered. Do not try to correct misperceptions or false attacks. Let your allies do that. You answer the attack instead by going after the source of the attack personally. Expose their bias, not their lies. Let your allies expose their lies. In short, go everywhere. Make people hear you and your anger. Fight with every ounce of your strength for them. Fight with nothing to lose. Don't worry about the future. All that matters is now. For the people at Townhall, be even more vocal. Keep gathering. Don't attack personally on anything outside of an issue. Once we do that, we lose. Don't be afraid to confront anyone, but do it by using footnoted facts on issues. That's all. Their side is allowed to get away with personal attacks on nonissues. We can't. If we stick to this and realize what we're up against, we can take down the great Alinskyite. If not, then our future is very much in doubt. Power is a snowball rolling down a hill. It will only get bigger over time.
