			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Hartford-Tea-Party-Flag.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6290" title="Hartford-Tea-Party-Flag" src="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Hartford-Tea-Party-Flag-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a>One of the most exciting things I have seen in years is the rise of the &#8220;Tea Party Movement.&#8221;  I have been afforded the opportunity to speak at many forums of the organization and I like to remind them of how important the up coming elections are going to be.  I told a crowd of 11,000 in Houston, Texas that in 2010, the US House and Senate will be the center of the political universe.  Most in the movement believe that, which means it is time to prepare as if that statement is true.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://politicalintegritynow.com/2010/09/tea-party-video-forget-about-spreading-the-wealth-lets-start-spreading-the-truth/">Tea Party</a> has been a sleeping giant that has abruptly waken after years of allowing the government to grow to its current ominous state.  Sincere members of the movement are as angry at the American people as they are those that govern, because they know our mess is as much due to voter neglect as anything else.  Some have not voted in years, if at all, and they in particular are going to need to know the tough questions to ask aspiring candidates.  Here are just a few suggestions of what a candidate should be asked:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is your employment history? In my opinion, if a candidate has never owned a business and has never been subject to the payroll, regulations, taxation, and licensure laws that comes with it, they should not be taken seriously as a candidate.  Empathy is an important characteristic to leadership and I want a leader that understands what the engines of prosperity go through.</li>
<li>What is your view of the Constitution? The tasks of a member of Congress are numerous, but the single most important duty is to carry out the responsibilities in the Constitution they have sworn to defend. They need to explain what the enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution mean. They need to articulate the role of the Tenth amendment in limiting federal power. If a candidate does not answer these questions in a manner in line with the Constitution, they have no business running for such an important office. This is the most important question to ask someone running for federal office, in my opinion.</li>
<li>What other elected offices have you been in?  The US House and Senate are pretty significant offices. In my experience it takes politicians a significant period of time to &#8220;get their legs&#8221; in Congress. When I worked for the US Senate I was surprised by how little members knew when it came to conducting their duties. I believe that career politicians are a problem, but I also believe it makes sense for the House or Senate to be the &#8220;next step&#8221; after serving in a state legislature or similar position and not the first &#8220;step.&#8221;  If you have not held any office at all, try city council or the school board, before the US Congress.</li>
<li>What other positions have you held? I think that many Americans will be a little reluctant to elect a career &#8220;community activist&#8221; to any office after the Barack Obama experience. For a long period of time people on every level of government (federal, state, local) were reluctant to elect attorneys to office because they did not want to elect individuals who make a living off the proliferation of laws.  That certainly makes sense. To me, the best candidate is the one who is most sympathetic and empathetic to the plight of all Americans and understand the challenges of job creation and economic growth.  Furthermore, they believe in the concept of rule of law.  The US government today is ran by a lawless crowd with their own agenda and it has little to do with the Constitution they swear to defend.</li>
</ul>
<p>2010 could mark the beginning of a great era in American politics.  It could set the stage for a turn around and a move back to limited, constitutional, government.  However, if this is to happen, voters are going to have to be smart and ask the tough questions that politicians must honestly answer.  Voters must also have the courage to hold these politicians accountable and to the highest standards.</p>

<p>Apparently, according to this AP article, President Obama is tired of how the US Constitution allows Congress to spend money, and Obama wants this changed.  So, he is seeking to introduce new legislation to make it so he has more control.  Nice.</p>
<p>It seems to always come down to that pesky Constitution of ours.  I wonder if Obama shouldn&#8217;t just shred it and let us all know how he really feels about it, instead of skirting this issue as he does.</p>
<p>I also find it deliciously odd that he is seeking to <em>force</em> Congress, his Democrat-controlled Congress, mind you, to stop wasteful spending when he was so hot-to-trot on spending trillions we simply <em>do not have</em>.  (But which can be printed, easily, of course.)  I&#8217;d hate to see how he balances his own personal checking account.  This man&#8217;s grasp of money and fiscal responsibility is at the fourth-grade level.</p>
<p>Anyhoos, here is AP article.  Please to enjoy.</p>
<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON – President  Barack Obama on Monday is sending legislation to Congress that  would allow him to force lawmakers to vote on cutting earmarks and  wasteful programs from spending bills.</p>
<p>The legislation would <a id="KonaLink0" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_spending_cuts#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #366388">award Obama</span></a> and his successors the  ability to take two months or more to scrutinize spending bills that  have already been signed into law for pork barrel projects and other dubious  programs. He could then send Congress a <a id="KonaLink1" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_spending_cuts#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #366388">package of spending cuts</span></a> for a mandatory up-or-down  vote on whether to accept or reject them.</p>
<p>Senate Democrats filibustered the idea to death just  three years ago, and so Obama&#8217;s move would seem like a long shot. But  the plan could pick up traction in the current anti-Washington political  environment in which lawmakers are desperate to demonstrate they are  tough on spending.</p>
<p>The White House move also comes as Obama&#8217;s <a id="KonaLink2" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_spending_cuts#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #366388">Democratic allies in Congress</span></a> are trying to pass a tax and spending bill providing $170 billion for  programs such as unemployment  benefits, aid to state governments, and help for doctors facing a  big cut in Medicare  reimbursements. The  Senate is also taking up an almost $60 billion war funding bill,  and a vote looms on an administration-backed plan to add $23 billion to  help school districts avoid teacher layoffs.</p>
<p>Under the Constitution, the president has to either  sign a bill — forcing him to take the bad along with the good — or veto  it, which can be impractical. That allows Congress to pad <a id="KonaLink4" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_spending_cuts#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #366388">spending legislation</span></a> with items a president  does not like.</p>
<p>The White House says Obama would use the new power to  try to weed out earmarks such as water and sewer grants and road projects not  requested by the administration.</p></blockquote>
<p>See the rest <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100524/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_spending_cuts" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" href="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/drugs.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5841" src="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/drugs.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" /></a>President Obama is determined to make us look like the biggest, weakest, most cowardly and spineless country on the planet.  In the very face of Mexican President Calderon&#8217;s arrogance in criticizing our Nation about a problem his incompetent and poorly led developing near third-world status country should be handling, Presdient Obama smiles.  And his Democrat Congress stands up and gives this wanna be an ovation.</p>
<p>Calderon says the guns that his drug cartels are using to kill, torture, rape, and torment are our problem.  We are to blame.  Such arrogance.  Obama refuses to rebuke him, and Congress applauds him.  Enough.  Send this guy back to his own country to hang out with the other donkeys and profit from our tourism.</p>
<p>From<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100520/ap_on_go_co/us_us_mexico" target="_blank"> AP</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON – Mexican  President Felipe Calderon took his opposition to a new Arizona immigration law to  Congress Thursday, saying it &#8220;ignores a reality that cannot be erased by  decree.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Mexican leader also told lawmakers reluctant to  take up the immigration issue this year that comprehensive immigration reform is  crucial to securing the two countries&#8217; common border.</p>
<p>Calderon, the first foreign national leader to address Congress this  year, said he strongly disagrees with the Arizona law that requires  police to question people about their <a id="KonaLink4" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100520/ap_on_go_co/us_us_mexico#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #366388">immigration status</span></a> if there&#8217;s reason to suspect  they are in the country illegally.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a law that not only ignores a reality that  cannot be erased by decree but also introduced a terrible idea using racial profiling,&#8221; he  said to cheers, mainly from the Democratic side of the chamber.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Racial profiling?  Oh, for pete&#8217;s sake, someone send this guy a memo in Spanish that he can understand, and explain to him that his country racially profiles and demands documentation and is known for kidnapping wealthy folks to hold for ransoms.  And it is because of his inability to do anything about the drug cartels, *cough*, who are probably funding his poor country behind the scenes, that cities in Arizona are dangerous and known for having high kidnapping rates.  Enough.</p>
<blockquote><p>And broaching another highly sensitive issue, he urged Congress to  restore a ban on assault  weapons, saying easy access to high-powered weapons is  contributing to drug-related violence along the border.</p>
<p>Calderon also took up the Arizona law in a meeting  Wednesday with President  Barack Obama, who referred to the law as a &#8220;misdirected  expression of frustration.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Mexican leader said his country was doing its  best, by promoting more jobs and opportunities at home, to reduce the  flow of immigrants to the United States.</p>
<p>But he stressed the &#8220;need to fix a broken and  inefficient system &#8230; the time has come to reduce the causes of  migration and to turn this into a legal, orderly and secure flow of  workers and visitors.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama is pressing lawmakers to take up legislation  that would deal with border security, employment and citizenship. It is  questionable whether Congress, in an election year, has the fortitude to  tackle such a highly sensitive issue.</p>
<p>Calderon also got a standing ovation from Democrats  when he asked the United States to stop the flow of assualt weapons and  other arms across the border and reinstate the ban on many assault  weapons that was enacted in 1994 but allowed to expire during the George W. Bush presidency.</p>
<p>He said there are more than 7,000 gun shops along the  border where almost anyone can purchase weapons.</p>
<p>Speaking in English, he warned of the risk when &#8220;core  values we all care about are breached.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The only breach I see, Senor Calderon, is you coming here to a superior and stronger Nation and acting like a pompous ass.  You have had plenty of time to get your act together and make Mexico a world power.  Enough.</p>
<p>See fantastic article from <a href="http://redstate.com/greghalvorson/2010/05/20/sonoran-lawmakers-say-returning-citizens-are-a-burden/" target="_blank">Greg Halvorson over at Red State</a>.  He has an interesting development to report on.</p>

<p>I cannot say I am a &#8220;birther&#8221;.  I&#8217;m simply not.  I do not have enough evidence in front of me to take that position as far as the whole, &#8220;Is Barack Obama really a US Citizen?&#8221;, is concerned.  However, I do enjoy posting articles to make people think, debate, and defend their positions.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is indeed one of those articles.  Please let me reiterate for those of you who are hard-of-reading&#8211;(ahem)&#8211;&#8221;I am NOT a birther.&#8221;</p>
<p>This article is being presented for research info only, for any party interested.  If you comment and say I am a birther, you are obviously trying to stir it up.</p>
<p>I will say that I do find it particularly curious that this whole birther issue has not gone away.  Please to enjoy.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/22221" target="_blank">Canada Free Press</a>, courtesy of the pen of JB Williams:</p>
<blockquote><p>Members from all three branches of the Federal government already  know that <a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/22221#" target="_blank">Barack Hussein Obama</a> is  ineligible for the office of President. National leaders, to include  members of the US Supreme Court, already know that Barack Hussein Obama  is not a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America, and  therefore, is ineligible for the office he currently holds.</p>
<p>What they don’t know is how long it will take for most Americans to  figure it out, or what to do about it.</p></blockquote>
<p>And Mr. Williams comes out a swinging!</p>
<blockquote><p>The diversionary search for an authentic birth certificate is ongoing  and Obama has now spent in excess of $2 million in legal fees to keep  that search alive.</p>
<p>Eric Holder’s Department of Justice continues to deploy taxpayer funded  attorneys around the country to file dismissals on behalf of Obama,  denying all American citizens access to the courts as a peaceful remedy,  which only fuels the fire of discontent and the questions about Obama  persist.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mr. Williams further digs:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLDHDfPNBME">Michelle Obama  states that Kenya is Barack’s “home country.”</a> She knows, after  twenty years with Barack. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH4GX3Otf14&amp;feature=related">Ambassador  or Kenya has confirmed the same</a> His family friends all know it,  and are in fact quite proud of the fact that Americans had no hesitation  in electing a “black man from Kenya” as President of the United States.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/22221#" target="_blank">US Supreme Court</a> knows what the constitutional condition of “natural born citizen” means.  Even the most far left member of that court, Justice Ginsberg, is on  record proclaiming that a “natural born citizen” is a birth child of TWO  legal US citizens.</p></blockquote>
<p>Later:</p>
<blockquote><p>The US Congress knows that Barack Hussein Obama is not  constitutionally qualified for the office he holds. Although the  congress passed a resolution proclaiming Senator John McCain a “natural  born citizen” as the son of two US citizens, no such congressional  resolution exists for Barack Hussein Obama.</p>
<p>The press knows that Obama is not a “natural born citizen,” having  written on several occasions about the “Kenyan born” senator from  Chicago. A number of citizens have already been arrested and jailed for  asking these questions.</p>
<p>Over four-hundred law suits have been filed across the country asking  the courts to force Obama to become the “transparent president” he  promised to be, and all four-hundred are being dismissed before  discovery, all on the basis that “no citizen has proper legal standing”  to ask who and what their president really is…</p>
<p>Over <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=138633">a  half-million citizens have now signed a petition</a> demanding to see  Obama’s birth records.</p>
<p>Numerous members of the US Military have refused deployment orders  from Obama, on the basis that he refuses to evidence his constitutional  qualifications to issue such orders. In most cases, the soldiers have  simply been reassigned, so as to avoid any disciplinary action that  could end in “defense discovery” which might finally force Obama to open  up his files once and for all.</p>
<p>Now an eighteen year <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=143021">veteran  flight surgeon and active Lt. Colonel faces court martial</a> as he  makes his demands for proof that Obama is constitutionally eligible to  issue orders as Commander-in-Chief.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mr. Williams, you are a Canadian, but you speak like a man who has perhaps questions Americans should be asking!</p>
<p>Folks, check out the whole of this article at CFP.  If this thing is eventually proven, beyond all shadow of a doubt, to be false&#8211;won&#8217;t a lot of folks have egg on their faces?  However, if this thing is proven to be legit, and Barack Obama is not qualified to have been our President&#8211;oh man.  That will be a day unlike any other.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t let Robert Gibbs know this, but President Obama&#8217;s approval ratings are down.  Really down.  Dismally down.  And this isn&#8217;t just me being a mean-spirited right-winger, either.  No, here is <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100414/ap_on_bi_ge/us_ap_poll_democratic_woes" target="_blank">proof from the latest AP-Gfk poll</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON – President  Barack Obama&#8217;s national standing has slipped to a new low after  his victory on the historic health care overhaul, even in the face of  growing signs of economic revival, according to the latest Associated  Press-GfK poll.</p>
<p>The survey shows the political terrain growing  rockier for Obama  and congressional Democrats heading into midterm elections, boosting Republican hopes  for a return to power this fall.</p>
<p>Just 49 percent of people now approve of the job  Obama&#8217;s doing overall, and less than that — 44 percent — like the way  he&#8217;s handled health care and the economy. Last September, Obama hit a  low of 50 percent in job approval before ticking a bit higher. His  high-water mark as president was 67 percent in February of last year,  just after he took office.</p>
<p>The news is worse for other Democrats. For the first  time this year, about as many Americans approve of congressional  Republicans as Democrats — 38 percent to 41 percent — and neither has an  edge when it comes to the party voters want controlling Congress.  Democrats also have lost their advantage on the economy; people now  trust both parties equally on that, another first in 2010.</p>
<p>Roughly half want to fire their own congressman.</p></blockquote>
<p>I have long maintained that 2010 would be The Year of Reckoning, and it seems right now that my words will soon come to fruition.  If only those who rule irresponsibly and with extreme arrogance would have simply listened to America&#8230;.</p>
<p>See also <a href="http://www.ap-gfkpoll.com/" target="_blank">AP-Gfk Poll</a> site.</p>
<p>In the Big Picture, polls are simply a snapshot in history.  And right now, the snapshot ain&#8217;t lookin&#8217; good for President Obama and the rest of his posse.</p>

<p>From <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-35532-Dallas-Political-Buzz-Examiner~y2010m4d13-Holy-mistake-Congress-wipes-out-congressional-health-care-insurance" target="_blank">Devonia Smith</a>&#8211;Dallas Political Buzz Examiner!</p>
<blockquote><p>Legislate in haste, repent at leisure. Looks like Congress is having  one of those &#8220;Holy  S&#8212;!&#8221; moments; it appears they have royally mucked  up their own health insurance &#8211; for all 535 members of Congress and  untold congressional employees. In a hurry, they forgot to get it right  and wrote it all wrong; now it&#8217;s the law&#8230;</p>
<p>Looks like  Congress is in the same boat  they built for the rest of  America, without a clue what the new health care reform will mean to  them.  The beauty of their delimma is that they have written law  requiring that they move into a system that doesn&#8217;t yet exist.</p>
<p>How could that be? Simple, a scaled-down provision of Republic Senator  Grassley&#8217;s  “Health Reform Accountability Act” &#8211; this one  requiring all  congress members and their employees, with the exception of  Senate  committee and leadership staffs, to get their health insurance through  the same health insurance exchanges where the general public would get  theirs was left in the bill, unopposed, and was signed <em>into law </em>by  President Obama.</p></blockquote>
<p>How utterly fantastic!  Isn&#8217;t there a certain, oh I don&#8217;t know, reap what you sow kinda vibe to this whole thing?</p>
<blockquote><p>It appears that the poorly written law is so mangled that “It is  unclear whether members of Congress and Congressional staff who are  currently participating in F.E.H.B.P. may be able to retain this  coverage,” the research service said in an 8,100-word memorandum. &#8221;</p>
<p>Some are concerned, and rightly so, that as written, the bill can be  interpreted to mean that the second the bill went into law &#8211; their  own  insurance that they know and love &#8211; was wiped out. It&#8217;s a long stretch  to 2014, when  health care exchanges  go into effect and  the law (as  written) voids their insurance without providing a alternative. Whatever  are they to do in the meantime?</p>
<p>Of course that was never their intent, their intent may have been to  scrap the amendment altogether &#8211; or to revisit and firm up exactly how,  when, and by whom all of this was to be handled- but,<em> Oops!</em> <em>they  forgot.</em> Unfortunately, they were in  rush to pass the bill and  never looked back.</p>
<p>Now looking forward is full of panic and a scrambling effort to &#8220;fix&#8221;  what may end up being decided in court. The courts are inclined to  judge law <span style="text-decoration: underline">as  it  is written</span>, not  by what intended to write. How  do you even explain this to a judge? Dare they try to plead it is  unfair to execute a law conceived in haste and poorly composed?  We all  know a few states who would like to try just that.</p>
<p>What a mess their insurance is in now; and these are the same  buffoons who wrote ours &#8211; <em>trust us</em>, they said.  Nancy Pelosi,  Harry Reid, Obama &#8211; what a triumph of leadership!</p>
<p>If you are so inclined, <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:FDu-Jq2wz0IJ:freedomfoundationofminnesota.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click%3Fu%3D0956dbcde35993c92734c3c26%26id%3D574d9ff0e2%26e%3D53a421f7ef+It+is+unclear+whether+members+of+Congress+and+Congressional+staff+who+are+currently+participating+in+F.E.H.B.P.+may+be+able+to+retain+this+coveragem&amp;cd=7&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us&amp;client=firefox">read  the report here and  *wink* weep.</a></p>
<p><strong>Dallas:</strong> As of this time, there are no referrals for  your questions about health care reform in the Dallas Ft.Worth area.  If  anyone hears of any groups who are offering answers -at  Dallas  libraries, health centers, senior citizens centers, even a Dallas health  care telephone hot-line  -  please contact me.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mucho h/t to Devonia Smith for this awesome article!  Long Live the Republic, and so sorry for Congress, having to be like the peasants&#8230;.it must be horrid for them.</p>

<blockquote><p>Real personal income for Americans &#8211; excluding government payouts such  as Social Security &#8211; has fallen by 3.2 percent since President Obama  took office in January 2009, according to the Commerce Department&#8217;s  Bureau of Economic Analysis.</p>
<p>For comparison, real personal income during the first 15 months in  office for President George W. Bush, who inherited a milder recession  from his predecessor, dropped 0.4 percent. Income excluding government  payouts increased 12.7 percent during Mr. Bush&#8217;s eight years in office.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is hardly surprising,&#8221; said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist and  former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. <strong>&#8220;Under  President Obama, only federal spending is going up; jobs, business  startups, and incomes are all down. It is proof that the government  can&#8217;t spend its way to prosperity.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>So, hmmm&#8230;let&#8217;s see if I have this right: You cannot spend your way out of debt, or into prospertiy, or create jobs, or really do anything helpful for the financial stability and health of our Nation by SPENDING MONEY LIKE A CRACK ADDICT ON PAYDAY.</p>
<p>Wow.  And all this time, I was really hoping the whole &#8220;Hope and Change&#8221; thing was gonna work.  (Okay, I&#8217;m lying.  I knew it was a failure awaiting the light of day.  We all did.)</p>
<p>Read the rest of the Washington Times article <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/apr/13/personal-income-falls-32-during-obamas-15-months/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" href="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tshirt-funnyfedup.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5190" src="http://politicalintegritynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tshirt-funnyfedup-288x300.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="300" /></a>Americans are not a people who accept incompetence from their government.  Americans are known for voicing their opinions and dissenting when it is warranted.  Shoot, some Americans dissent simply for the sake of dissension, because they can and because our great Constitution allows them to do so.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not kid ourselves here, though.  It is very true that since President Obama took office and began to implement less than sterling policies, that there has been a rise in American dissension that eclipses even the hateful vitriol displayed from the Left when President Bush was in office.  Albeit this time around, it is more structured, polite, and focused, staying within the unspoken limits of Free Speech and American Patriotism.  I have yet to see anyone who represents the Right carrying a sign saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m here to kill Obama. (Shoot me)&#8221;, as seen here at<a href="http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=621" target="_blank"> Zombietime</a>.  And let&#8217;s not forget the plethora of signage that equated Bush with Hitler.  The Left is not known for being classy.  Historically, the Right has always been more controlled and purposed.  Go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and search &#8220;liberal protests&#8221;  and then search &#8220;TEA Party protests&#8221; if you would like verification.  While the Right is typified by sign carrying and prayer, the Left is typified by profanity and public property destruction and clashes with police.</p>
<p>However, there have been notable exceptions.</p>
<p>Integrity is vital and accountability must be demanded.  There is a fellow named Charles Alan Wilson who has just been charged with threatening the very life of Democrat Senator Patty Murray from Washington State.  Looking right now at the evidence presented, it would appear that Mr. Wilson is indeed guilty and is to be held accountable.  Based strictly on the current evidence, allow me to say that I hope they throw the book at this guy, because behavior such as his is not honorable, proper, or condoned by the Right.  In a previous article, I quipped that Mr. Wilson would soon be labeled as a &#8220;Right-Wing Terrorist&#8221; by the Left.  A commenter responded saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it probably is a duck…</p>
<p>One would be an idiot to think otherwise…</p></blockquote>
<p>It is common practice and a cliched response that the Right is rife with racists, hate-mongers, and blah blah blah.  It is tedious, at best.  It reminds me of a broken record, or in today&#8217;s more modern terms, a CD that skips.  The Left needs to be able to pin the actions of this Mr. Wilson to the Right in general.  In doing so, they can congratulate themselves and slap themselves on the back, believing they have finally nailed the coffin shut on American Right-Wing Dissension, and have put the Right in its place, exposing the Right Wing as being the horrible terrorists that they are.  Hm.</p>
<p>I will not now, or ever, defend the actions of Mr. Wilson.  But for every Mr. Wilson there are at least ten Leftists who, being drunk on Obama kool-aid, have uttered worse things and promoted more vitriolic sentiments than I care to repeat.  Unlike the Left, the Right doesn&#8217;t need to run to the media to claim victim hood and bring attention to themselves.  The Left controls the mainstream media, so their bullhorn seems to be bigger and louder.</p>
<p>Mr. Wilson is far from being a Right Wing Terrorist.  If he were a terrorist, he would seek to martyr himself for the good of The Right Wing Cause and to promote Right Wing Thought.  He would have planted bombs, sent anthrax, and strapped a bomb to himself and blown up as many Democrats as possible, being sure to have left behind a note to bring glory to himself and advance the Right Wing Cause.  Mr. Wilson did none of this.  He is just an American who let emotion get the best of him, calling a politician on the phone and threatening her, and now he has been caught.  And rightly so.</p>
<p>Mr. Wilson is not the face of the Right Wing Movement.  He is not the face of the TEA Party.  He is not the face of The Second Amendment.  He is just a fool, indeed.</p>
<p>Americans are getting fed-up with the direction our Nation is going under the leadership we now have with President Obama and his sycophantic Congress.  His approval numbers are <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123690358175013837.html" target="_blank">falling</a>.  More Americans <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/rasmussen-tea-party-tops-obama-48-44" target="_blank">associate themselves with The TEA Party</a> than with him or his Congress.  Now, does this mean that all these Americans who are expressing such sentiments are all racist and hate-mongers and Right Wing Terrorists, or is there a more simple answer?  Uh huh.  You guessed it.  Americans are just not happy, and it has nothing to do with anything other than their unhappiness.  It&#8217;s not because Obama is black.  It&#8217;s not because America is racist.  It&#8217;s because Americans are simply voicing their disgust with Obama and his policies.  Wouldn&#8217;t the MSM be surprised to discover that Democrats, gasp!, are involved with the TEA Party, and are not all kool-aid drunks?  The horror.</p>
<p>The MSM will do its best to make sure you believe that Charles Alan Wilson represents a new trend in America.  They will make sure you come to believe that it is appropriate for you to watch those &#8220;righties&#8221; and call the cops if you see or hear anything odd.  The government is your friend and it needs to be protected from these hateful racists and gun-owning fanatics.</p>
<p>But to those of us in the know, Charles Alan Wilson<strong> is not one of us</strong>.  Believe me, if we really were all about killing bad politicians and such, the Right would have made this guy into a hero and a poster child for true Change, ushering in a New Era of American Conservatism!  Folks, come on now.  We all know better than this.</p>
<p>Americans are fed-up, to be sure.  But we surely are not looking to kill or bring about revolution through a gun.  The MSM will sling some arrows our way, but it&#8217;s okay.  Like I said, we all know better.</p>

<p><strong>The Two Americas: The Free and the Slave </strong></p>
<p>Slavery in America is alive and well, folks.  We all know of America&#8217;s  past dealings in this abomination, but well over a hundred years have  passed since that dark time in our history.  You would think we had all  moved past this atrocity, and would never again embrace or willingly  welcome chains of any kind on any of our People.  Well&#8230;think again.</p>
<p>Slavery in America is alive and well, but this time around it is not  being implemented by some rich white guys in the South who own cotton  plantations.  It&#8217;s not being implemented by some rich white landowners  in New England, or rich white tobacco farmers in Virginia.  No, not this  time.</p>
<p>This time around it is being brought back into fashion by the Democrats,  the President, and the Congress of our Nation.  This time around,  slavery goes beyond race.  This time around slavery strikes at the very  heart of Freedom for all Americans, and it is being packaged and sold as  &#8220;Hope and Change&#8221; by a man who was raised to hate America, and was  groomed by his mentors and teachers to implement their plans.</p>
<p>This time around, slavery comes to us wearing a &#8220;Che&#8221; shirt, carrying a  sign showing George Bush as Hitler, attacking grassroot movements like  the TEA Party decrying it as racist, watching MSNBC and parroting their  hateful vitriol, and being taught with a smile in our public school  system under the guise of One World Unity.</p>
<p><strong>Welcome to Obama Nation 2010.</strong></p>
<p>We now live in a divided America.  It is akin to the America that  existed during the Civil War, wherein we were either one way or the  other, and those who tried to stand in the middle were pushed to the  side.  We are a Nation now that either wants and needs Government  Slavery or a Nation that stands firm in Freedom and Liberty.  We live in  two Americas.</p>
<p>The President assures us that once people see the miracles and benefits  of his Obama Care, that all will be well and we can go about our lives,  knowing he has our best interests in mind.  This is the Big Lie that he  and his America-hating liberals have been spoon-feeding minorities in  America for years.  This is the allure of the victim-mentality and  entitlement-posture that so easily ensnares those who have been kept  ignorant for generations.  This is, quite honestly, nothing short of  Slave Thinking.  And it has been extremely effective for years.</p>
<p>I had to stop and consider just who is it, exactly, in America that  really looks to the government to be their Master.  Who are these  people?  Have they really stopped living as Free Americans and abdicated  their abilities to fight for their rights so readily?  I know of no  one, in my small sphere of influence, who says that government is the  solution.  I know no one who, in their right mind, says it is okay to  rely strictly on the government for their survival.  These people are  faceless and nameless denizens of an America I do not belong to.  These  people are indeed slaves.  My hope, my real hope, is that maybe we can  get them freed and show them the Truth of America.  If not, then they  are doomed to receive their just rewards for looking to government as  their savior.  <strong>This is The Slave America</strong>.  Unfortunately, it  seems to have many making up its ranks.</p>
<p>Now, on the flip side, in <strong>The Free America</strong>, we have those who  refuse to relinquish their individuality and their hearts to any  government, for any reason.  These people are not bound by fear,  helplessness, and dependency.  They have heard the lies and they can see  right through them.  These people are able to handle the Constitution.   They are able to handle the arrows of the Masters over The Slave  America.  They find strength in Faith, Family, and Fellowship.  They  ignore the insults and attacks of the MSM, and keep their eyes ever on  the prize of Freedom and Liberty.</p>
<p>The Free America is actually bigger than The Slave America, but you  wouldn&#8217;t be able to guess that based on the constant and unrelenting  push by the media to numb the wills of the masses.  The Free America is  not an insignificant minority.</p>
<p>I do indeed belong to The Free America, and I will continue to fight for  her, and to do my utmost to pull people out of The Slave America using  prayer, logic, reason, and Truth.  My fight, so to speak, is not with  the Slaves themselves.  I mean, they&#8217;re slaves.  They have been kept  ignorant by their Masters for generations.  Some of them are too far  gone to be helped, but there is ever hope to be able to free those not  yet desensitized to Freedom.</p>
<p>We live in Two Americas, ladies and gentlemen.  I do not know the  future.  I cannot say that we will ever be One Nation again, especially  after this administration.  Maybe the damage will be too deep.  But I  believe in a mighty and powerful God, and I believe in the Truth of The  US Constitution.</p>
<p>I refuse to stop.  I refuse to obey.  I refuse to bow.</p>
<p>The Free America will stand.</p>

<p>Good day, fellow Americans.</p>
<p>Do you remember your history lessons from school?  Do you remember looking at paintings of guys wearing white wigs, gathered around a table in some assembly hall, with pens in their hands and looking quite satisfied?  Do you remember the painting I used as the article image- the three American Patriots that came to symbolize our freedom and victory from King George III?  Lastly, do you remember what you were taught about The US Constitution while in secondary school, before you might have journeyed off to college?  Uh huh.  Indeed.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve been paying attention, but there is a new President in office who has the unbridled power of a King, given to him by the progressives and supported by an America-hating Democrat-controlled Congress.  Indeed, President Obama is no longer our President.  He is now our King, and he knows what is best for us.</p>
<p>Kelli Krauss, a contributor here at PIN, wrote an article on 22 Jan 2010 named &#8220;<a href="http://politicalintegritynow.com/2010/01/obama-is-our-king-george/" target="_blank">Obama is our King George</a>&#8220;.  I highly recommend that if you have not seen it, to invest the time to read it fully and let it sink in.</p>
<p>Much talk is being circulated about the upcoming November mid-term elections, the TEA Party, American dissension, Conservative Movement, and an armed revolution against our new King, much like the one our ancestors fought to create our great Nation in the late 1700&#8242;s.  Wow!  It&#8217;s a lot to digest, I know.  The State-run media is doing its best to overwhelm you and me and all of America with rapid-fire articles and stories designed to confuse and disorient us.   Sad to say, for them anyways, that Americans in the know are not so easily discouraged.</p>
<p>There is indeed a New American Revolution forming.  Is this to say that there has been a spike in musket sales and tri-cornered hats?  Hardly.  This New American Revolution will be fought using bullets made from ballots, Conservative Thought, historical Truth, and the strong reality of our Constitutional knowledge.  American dissenters are forming grassroots groups, fellowships via Facebook and Twitter, and a huge number of Rightist Bloggers.  There has never been a time in our history as a Nation quite like this, and we are very ready for it.</p>
<p>Yes, we were discouraged on Sunday evening, as we watched our Constitution take a beating with the passage of the Health Care Bill, written under the corrupted hands and wills of a Democrat-controlled Congress and blessed by the kiss of our King Obama.  I myself slept fitfully that evening.  Yet, come Monday morning, I awoke feeling refreshed, re-focused, and more streamlined than ever before.  With the passage of this America-hating bill, the cards were now displayed out upon the table of American history, and there were no further doubts or questions about what and who the Democrats and Obama really were.</p>
<p>Patriots nationwide rose and joined forces.  We bonded on Facebook, on Twitter, and through emails and blogs.  We are organizing, protesting, writing, and praying.  The Conservative Movement has never been stronger than it is today, and it took the Democrat-controlled Congress and King Obama to bring us together as a solid unit.  For this I would say, Thank You.</p>
<p>This is now The New American Revolution.  Sites like this one, which calls for INTEGRITY, and many other Rightist sites are flourishing right now, and our numbers are swelling daily.  This revolution is not about bloodshed and muskets.  Not yet, anyways.  Please refresh your knowledge of The Second Amendment of our Constitution and use it to measure the modern-day affairs and agendas of our current leadership in DC against.  I think you will be sobered up quickly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=112408838774536&amp;ref=mf" target="_blank">The New American Revolution 2010</a> has begun.  Thank you, King Obama!  Enjoy your remaining months on the throne, your Highness.  History is indeed about to repeat itself soon enough.</p>
