certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
— The Declaration of Independence

It offers no guarantees, not even a promise of instant gratification. It does not afford special status based on race, gender, or any other feature. It offers only limited appeal to individuals without integrity and demands a certain trust from others who are momentarily or permanently vulnerable. This is classical liberalism and with the restrictions imposed by Judeo-Christian temperance it becomes even less desirable.

We have to acknowledge that a large minority and perhaps a progressive majority simply maintains a different perspective of reality than we do. There are certain criteria by which America can be considered exceptional; but, our status is not inevitable, and is increasingly threatened through subversion from within.

It is worth distinguishing between fundamental corruption (i.e. head and tail consuming the body) and exceptional corruption as the cause of our malaise. I tend to think it is the former, but it may, in fact, have been motivated by the latter. It’s a paradox which needs to be resolved.

We can be sure that he is thinking of ways to undermine congressional authority and probably, in some form, extending his rule after a second term.

Terror threats rising as FEMA orders $1 Billion in dehydrated food
http://www.beaufortobserver.net/1FeedbackAllbody.lasso?-token.specificitem=21535.112112

One of the nation’s largest suppliers of dehydrated food has cut loose 99% of their dealers and distributors. And it’s not because of the poor economy. It’s because this particular industry leader can no longer supply their regular distribution channels. Why not? Because they’re using every bit of manufacturing capacity they have to fulfill massive new government contracts. Look, the government has always been a customer of the industry to some extent. But according to our sources, this latest development doesn’t represent simply a change of vendor on the government’s part. It’s a whole new magnitude of business.

The RFP called for a 10-day supply of meals – for 14 million people. That’s 420 million meals. Typically, FEMA maintains a stockpile of about 6 million meals. Why the sudden need to increase the stockpile by 420 million more?

note that a lot of this was being prepared and such before obama was elected. and then, huxleys were eager to come up with tons of reasons why each of these things were ok, and reasonable… (and refuse as always to look at more than one thing together)

so is it reasonable that homeland security is stockpiling millions of rounds of ammunition?

is it reasoanble that years ago they worked on how to operate and station civilian inmate labor camps?

is it reasonable that they are fomenting random race attacks

Which technically makes Charles Manson and the Manson Family prescient… but is also why the weather underground and the black national socialists tried to rob a brinks truck… to start race war… and that was for the purpose of using such chaos to change the state (to a dictatorship of the proletariat)

you tell me if the cover story is a cover story or its something different…

the cover story is that all these purchases of guns, ammunition, food, body bags, coffin casings, and such is in case there is a disaster on the new Madrid fault..

and FEMA was not created by congress. it was created by Executive orders by presidents…

now its interesting to note that MOST of the tin hat work was done by people who wanted to smear bush with these facts…

they did not want to put such facts together going back to the 70s… ie… spanning presidencies post 68…

the problem as always is dual use, and ambiguity… which i have pointed out how you hide such… you cloak them in ambiguity…

but i am the kind of person who prefers that the questions never come up… that even the fact that such situations are so many and ambiguous is in itself troubling. as how can so many be that way without intent?

all the reasonable points are almost provided to give plausible deniability to each thing. oh. its not for citizen unrest and racial riots… its for an earthquake (just in case)…

Bankrupt sovereign states most commonly use the currency printing press as a solution to not having enough money to cover obligations. The alternative here would be for the U.S. eventually to renege on its existing debt and obligations, a solution for modern sovereign states rarely seen outside of governments overthrown in revolution, and a solution with no happier ending than simply printing the needed money.

we have more debt than we can pay..
and that leads to war when you try to stiff countries who invested in you and your leaders.

whether we elect obama or not, the future has few options for fixing it, unless you think the OWS kids will realize that sitting there is resources that teamed up could make a company and employ them?

they are talking 100% employment… and they dont understand what that means… you dont work, you dont eat… what capitalists and bleeding hearts allow, socialists actually dont.

and 100% employment is what would lead to camps wiithout the wacky riots or so forth.

and the idea of it is not so alien given Van Jones, an ex CZAR, talked about needing to connect manufacturing and the gulag system as a means of production to meet debts..

do you really think that by november, the people are not going to allow their voting to be gamed by lack of id… and so on?

how about the new executive order adjustment which allows him to take power wiether there is a crisis or not?

a case of, if i am winning hte election..
i will go along with it for legitimacy
if i am losing…

China is helping north korea who now is claiming to turn seoul korea to a pile of ashes…

OR

iran…

OR
domestic riots due to not raising welfare payments..

OR
rioits due to mobs of angry blacks putting whites in hospital (a few more today… and saying thats for trayvon… collectiive justice)

maybe homeland security didnt buy the 450 million hollow point rounds for whats coming, they are just target practicing…

or the MRE (meals ready to eat) havent been purchased by the millions starting a few years back…

or the 64 domestic drone sites..

did you forget the military paper on “civilian inmate labor camps”? us ex soviets refer to them as gulags.. the chinese as re-education camps.. the US as internment camps, but now they are civilian inmate labor camps.

here, you can read it from the army
http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/R210_35.PDF

maybe those fema camps are real.. and those coffin casings are coffin casings..

given the way the media reports and has shilled for such people, i cant determine whether such camps are real or not… tin hatters dont help…

and i guess you forgot that the US government hired Primakov and Wolfe to work on the issue of internal passports…

Primakovs full name?
KGB General Yevgeni Primakov

and wolfs full name?
Stasi chief Markus Wolfe

and THAT was by bush…

so perhaps, one side is just playing bad cop to the other sides good cop??

i am curious how reform is possible when the people required to act are educated that the soviet union was a good thing, that people were exiled not murdered, and so on?

whose going to teach them? the socialist controlled teachers union members? the feminists who openly said its communist government they have worked for!!!!!!!!! how about the black national socialists (black nazi party basically)? will they stop the mobs from jumping whites randomly for Obamas Collective Justice?

and the thing that most are not going to get… the idea is not to convert the US into a amoral state with such power… duh… its to move it to such a state, so that its power can be transfered due to external actions…

you tell me..
in the case of bad things, and no one advising obama what to do…

will he just sign a treaty giving up the US?

that due to financial reasons, educational reasons, immigration reasons, lack of military equipment reasons, and all that…

that he cede america to the other side?

and may i ask what power is there to stop him?

But I’m not convinced there is still no reform possible.

And what Obama has done for the economy is the equivalent of a three year old’s taking apart and reassembling a swiss watch.

IMO, despite the advantages that flow to the incumbent and the propaganda efforts of the MSM, this race is Romney’s to lose. Additionally, the republicans will hold the house and perhaps take a slim majority in the senate. Plus, I suspect there are 5 members of SCOTUS who are a bit peeved with supreme leader wannabe.

As far as executive orders are concerned, I fully agree that BHO salivates at the thought of being the American Fidel if for no other reason that he would finally have the power to tell Michelle that he’s going to eat what he damn well pleases. But seriously, if you go back from Bush II to Wilson, there have been many potentially dangerous executive orders. The executive has, ever since Lincoln, assumed more and more power, and congress has allowed this to occur. Wilson and FDR were just as power hungry as BHO. LBJ too.

It ain’t over until its over and the final out is not in sight. BTW, Romney in the Oval Office and republicans in charge of both houses will not bring about a return to sanity; but it will be a start.

“For their part, Republicans appear to have largely acquiesced. Mr. Grassley said in an interview that his colleagues were reluctant to block even more bills and nominations in response to Mr. Obama’s “chutzpah,” lest they play into his effort to portray them as making Congress dysfunctional.”

It’s all about ‘seeming’, not ‘being’, going along to get along. And my (R) congresscritter is one of them. I’ll give you (R): Ahrrrh!
