What has really happened to America, are we dumb or just numb?

After watching Glenn Beck today, I had a realization hit me like a freight train, (maybe I dozed off and it was a nightmare) and honestly, it scared me half to death! Is Obama trying to bring about a simple Revolution, or is it worse? As if a revolution isn’t bad enough? I am sure, that if you read anything I write, you more than likely watch Glenn Beck as well, so, it is to you that I am speaking.
As Glenn is pointing out all of the Creeps, Communists, Marxists, and Mao lovers like Anita Dunn ( did anybody else find the wierd tongue thing of hers a bit creepy, like a snake or something?) , and if you follow the link to see why some love who they believe Chairman Mao to be, Wikipedia has him almost as a hero, below is a quote from Wikipedia .
He is officially held in high regard in China where he is known as a great revolutionary, political strategist, military mastermind, and savior of the nation. Many Chinese also believe that through his policies, he laid the economic, technological and cultural foundations of modern China, transforming the country from a backward agrarian society into a major world power.
After reading this, it is easy to understand how Obama’s Crew plans on deceiving us, if they can convince us that Mao was a good guy, then we won’t see the revolution that is coming as being a bad thing, until it is too late! (Notice the word I made Bold and underlined, does this sound familiar?)
Now to my point, this deception or “transformation”, began a long time ago, it started out as “tolerance”, we were re-educated, our kids have been indoctrinated, and we have been nudged into accepting things that before were unacceptable. Now everything is about some “minority” group’s “rights”. It seems that everybody has “rights” except us Redneck , Veteran, Right Wing Extremists.
What I am about to say, in our Politically Correct World, is going to piss somebody off, but I don’t care, these are my opinions, and I am sure that I am NOT ALONE!
Depending on how old you are, you may remember more or maybe less, but, think about this very carefully.
If you heard Obama’s speach, talking about Transforming America, in this clip,
and judging him by who he is getting his advice from, and then you see who he is putting in charge of everything, the people they look up to, and the cozy way he is acting with Chavez in the picture below.

This affirms his revolutionary connections and his desire to bring the Hispanic community to his side, but, which side is that. is it America’s side or Obama’s? Read this article from Michelle Malkin,
Then watch the video below.
Now, doesn’t the Black Panther dude, look a little bit radical to you? If they would have been at the courthouse where I voted, in Texas, the Sherriff’s Department would have arrested them, if some nervous redneck thinking it was terrorists, didn’t shoot them first! Now, hear what Obama says about the US Constitution and “African-Americans.
Hopefully you caught the part about “when the Constitution was written there were no African-Americans”. I have never seen the country or continent called, Africa America, on the map, at least, not yet. have you? North America, Central America, and South America, yes, they are all there, but no Africa-America. Anyway, Glenn Beck can’t say it, no one in any type of public position can (PC Police will get them), but if you add up all of these things, with the video below,you will see where I am headed.
If you look at all of the liberal changes that have already happened, lets start with the end of slavery, yep, I went there, and yes, I feel that ALL men are created equal and that slavery was bad, but that was the first step in the “transformation of America”. Then came, letting women vote, JFK, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King and all of that, yes, I feel that women are people too and should have the right to vote and so on, stay with me here, I am just making a point. Don’t you remember when the big issue was “what is the correct term. nigger or negro?” Seriously, I do, adults had it rough, and kids like me heard it, then finally it became black or African-American, but most used the former, not the latter, remember, I am in Texas.
(When I was in school there were but a few black kids, they were really nice kids, and they were Americans, just like me, we lived in the same neighborhood, many of us walked or rode our bikes to school, we all said the pledge of allegiance, had a morning prayer, and we got along just fine. Today, my old high school has a 10 foot fence, with barbed-wire, around the top and maybe three white kids, and nobody gets along, gangs run the place!)
Think about these things, back when they happened, they were major issues, I am talking about serious Change, remember that word? Things were ok and mellowed out for a long time, Disco happened and then, the gays came out of the closet, and we all had to be “tolerant”, now, its ok to be gay and we are giving our kids classes on gay stuff and so on. Now, after all of these Changes, We Americans are now numb, we can’t say anything about anybody, or we are the bad guy! It has become “unacceptable’ to be white and proud of it! Have you ever heard of “White History or Heterosexual Pride Month? Ask a kid about it, they will call you a racist and or a sexist! Remember the TV show, Black Viewpoint, when can we expect a channel like BET, call it WET , no, not a porn channel, that would be ok, I mean White Entertainment Television. Have you looked at all of the cable channels for everybody, but us rednecks? Ok, we do have a fishing show or two and I can remember when MTV was about Rock Music Videos, now it is all Rap.
Today, we are in the new politically correct world where kids are indoctrinated into a liberal coma, where competition is bad, pass or fail is now a star or a smiley face, everybody gets graded on a curve that is determined by race, affirmative action weeds out those that can pass the tests, and replaces them with those that can’t, just based on quotas, and the PC police will get you if you say or do anything about it. We fear offending someone, or we get sued and if a white guy kills a black guy, or if a straight guy kills a gay guy, the penalty is even worse than if you switch the situations, what is up with that? Murder is murder, isn’t it? One plus one is two, two plus two is four. What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, but now, everyone is afraid to say so! We used to live by basic rules, now, everything is complicated, everything is ok, except, to say it’s not ok! What happened to “equal” rights? Do you see my point here? America is numb, not dumb, we are paralyzed with fear and paranoia!
With everybody now afraid of everybody, something is happening that most people are oblivious to, Obama is using his own Liberal base against them, and everyone else! With America so divided, the PC police, food cops and so many previously “unacceptable” groups having more power over the ones that used to say that those groups actions were “unacceptable”, Americans just really want it to be over! We all just want American’s to get along and be proud to ba an American. Some of us have woken up and see what is happening, and we don’t like it. Hopefully, we are getting in Obama’s way, or at least slowing down his efforts, until more people see what is happening and can vote him and the rest of the Marxist out of office. starting in 2010. Otherwise, Obama will start his revolution where those that have, won’t and those that don’t have will, at least that is what those that don’t have think, because they have been indoctrinated and re-educated for so long! Have you noticed that the town hall and tea party folks are mostly the over 35 group? We can remember what America used to be like, before the progressives took over. Global warming? Come on, stop already, the gig is up, Al Gore was wrong!
Think about this, now they are wanting to divide us even further, putting new taxes on everything, this puts smokers against non-smokers, thin people against fat people, and so on, but why? It is all about control, once the people of America have so many restrictions, it will be just like all of the other things that used to be unacceptable. In other words, if you complain about control, you will be singled out, but, by then it will be too late! We are already seeing the beginning, anyone who disagrees with this “Transformation” or revolution is called a redneck extremist!
Lets sum it all up, we have Obama’s friends, Reverend Wright and his Black Liberation Theology, Bill Ayres and The Weather Underground, and the rest of them that nobody paid any attention to, “before” the election, then, during the election, The Black Panthers and ACORN (before, during, and after), SEIU, Chavez and Obama’s “Apology Tour” immediately after the election, then, Obama appoints a bunch of Czars with extreme views, and no oversight, add this to the bailouts the takeover of General Motors, giving over half of the company to his Union buddies, Cap and Trade, all of the proposed spending on Health Care, Green Jobs, then the new taxes like the VAT (Value Added Tax) etc, and even a Nobel Peace Prize, after 12 days in office, so, whats next?
Look what happened to Rush Limbaugh, because of “racist” comments, fake or otherwise? Here is a fake one that he supposedly said, “slavery had its merits” , whether he said it or not, is that so bad? After all, what happened to free speech, doesn’t Rush deserve an opinion? I mean, as un PC as it is, I would have to almost agree to a certain extent, after all, at least slaves couldn’t complain about unemployment and we didn’t need welfare. Has anyone gotten in trouble for the Rap lyrics basically talking about killing white people cops, or whatever? Why can rappers call each other “nigga” , but I should refer to that word as the “N” word? Did you hear about the big party, Fiesta Latina and Obama’s speech in New Orleans? Yes, he was there apologizing for the old “white” government that failed them, have you figured out who the people are that will be rounded up and slaughtered, like Chairman Mao did? What happened to whats left of the America we love, without hyphens, where we are all just called Americans?
I hope I am wrong, but, if not……………………………..

Dear David,
Vice President Joe Biden said during the 2008 campaign that it is patriotic for Americans to pay more in taxes. Since taking over control of Washington, the Obama Democrats have decided we should all be more “patriotic” having passed or proposed more than $5 trillion in new spending and $1.4 trillion in new taxes.
I don’t know about you, David, but I don’t believe there is anything patriotic about giving more of your hard-earned money to the government to bankroll the liberal Democrats’ agenda to increase spending to record levels, change the tax code to redistribute the wealth of working families, and destroy the savings of millions of middle-class Americans.
So on this Tax Day, April 15, the Republican National Committee is asking you, along with hundreds of thousands of grassroots activists across our country, to assert a real patriotic act by sending a virtual tea bag to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the tax, spend and borrow Democrats. Let them know enough is enough and you don’t approve of their plan to pass the largest tax hike in American history.
And when you send your virtual tea bag today, I hope you will also take this opportunity to make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC today to help fund our efforts to resist the massive tax and spending increases Barack Obama and the Pelosi-Reid Democrats are attempting to ram through Congress.
The $1.4 trillion in higher taxes is just the tip of the iceberg for the Democrats. The proposed cap and trade program on carbon emissions Obama wants would impose at least $646 billion in new energy taxes — $3,100 for every American family a year. And the President wants to raise taxes on small businesses — the very engine that provides 75% of our economic growth.
David, Americans will pay more in taxes this year than they will spend on food, clothing and housing combined and it is still not enough for Barack Obama and the liberal Democrats. Let them know you already pay enough in taxes by sending them a virtual tea bag by clicking here.
And when you do, please also make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC today to fight the Democrats’ efforts to take advantage of America’s present economic difficulties to force through their reckless agenda.
Your participation in this project is vital to holding the Obama Democrats accountable for their destructive higher tax and spending policies. Please send your virtual tea bag today. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee

21st Century Threats
‘Unproven Technology’ Lays Basis for Missile Defense
The following op-ed ran in today’s edition of the Defense News, which can be accessed here.
On April 5, North Korea launched a missile – and sent the world a wake-up call.
Ballistic missiles in the hands of rogue states, potentially armed with weapons of mass destruction, remain one of the most serious security threats of the 21st century. Change of administrations in Washington does not change this strategic imperative: Free nations must defend themselves from ballistic missile attack through robust and layered missile defense capabilities.
North Korea’s launch continues a ballistic missile development program that is now four decades old, and which many believe is the most advanced in the developing world. North Korea’s Taepo Dong-2 long-range missile has the potential capability to strike Hawaii, Alaska and possibly the West Coast of the United States.
Many observers agree that North Korea has proliferated elements of its missile program, along with those of its nuclear program, and has helped accelerate development of dangerous capabilities in Iran and other nations. Iran’s capabilities, in turn, could threaten all our allies in Europe, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East, including Israel.
Despite the growing risk, the new U.S. administration seems determined to scale back our missile defense capabilities and leave us and our allies more vulnerable.
On the same day that North Korea tested its new capabilities, President Barack Obama announced that America’s capabilities would be subject to new restrictions. He said in Prague that our missile defense partnership with NATO, including a tracking radar to be based on Czech soil, would go forward only if it is cost-effective and proven, and if the threat from Iran persists. These qualifications may seem reasonable, yet they signal unreasonable cutbacks throughout our missile defense program.
The next day, Defense Secretary Robert Gates made clear which U.S. missile defense capabilities meet the administration’s new standards. Approved for more funding are the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, the Standard Missile 3 program, and the conversion of six Aegis cruisers for missile defense.
Defunded or delayed are the Multiple Kill Vehicle program, the Airborne Laser program and additional ground-based interceptors in Alaska. Overall, the administration plans to cut funding for missile defense by nearly $1.5 billion, or about 15 percent.
Reading between the lines, we can see the new administration’s priorities. They recognize our proven but limited capability to destroy missiles in the midcourse and terminal stages of flight, yet they resist developing new technologies that would defeat such missiles much earlier, in the critical boost phase. In Europe, what they haven’t left out of the budget they seem eager to give away at the negotiating table.
And while trillions of dollars in domestic spending are justified as economic stimulus, new defenses against ballistic missiles – built right here in America – must overcome much higher hurdles from the budgetary bean counters.
FIXING THE PRIORITIES
The administration has set the wrong priorities, partly because it takes too lightly the growing missile threat from rogue states, but mostly because it has failed to recognize three crucial developments over the past 25 years.
First, new technologies have proved the skeptics wrong. During the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan’s vision of defenses against ballistic missiles was dismissed as science fiction. Today, our nation has deployed ground-based interceptors, early warning satellites, land- and sea-based radars, and an integrated command, control, battle management and communications infrastructure. Together these components give us an emergency capability against a limited long-range ballistic missile attack, yet each of them, decades ago, was merely an “unproven” technology.
Research, development and deployment of today’s unproven technologies are the key to improving our defenses in the decades to come.
Second, the administration seems unaware of the sea change in international public opinion on the issue of missile defense. At the close of the 20th century, our allies and friends were still very skeptical of missile defense. Yet, consistent and patient diplomacy by the Bush administration changed all that. Today, our nation has cooperative agreements on missile defense with the United Kingdom, Denmark, Italy, Japan and Australia.
We are working with Poland and the Czech Republic to give NATO a missile defense capability, and with Israel to improve its defenses against medium-range rockets. India, France and many other nations have expressed interest in cooperating with us on these technologies. Cutting back on U.S. missile defense capabilities makes no sense when so many allies and friends want to deepen their cooperation with us.
Third, support for U.S. missile defenses now crosses partisan lines. Five of my colleagues, including Independent Joe Lieberman and Democrat Mark Begich, wrote President Obama following his administration’s proposed funding cuts for missile defense. They urged him to reconsider these recommendations and to continue development of an integrated, layered defense against the ballistic missile threat.
I share my colleagues’ concerns, as do millions of Americans across the political spectrum. The president has inspired so many with his vision of crossing ideological divides to pursue common, long-term objectives. Building the infrastructure of missile defense presents a tremendous opportunity to make that vision a reality.
President Obama, like every commander in chief, must make difficult choices to protect our people, advance freedom and defend our strategic interests. I applaud his surge of forces in Afghanistan and appreciate the additional defense capabilities he appears willing to fund. Yet I will oppose any cuts to missile defenses, and to any program that gives us a fighting chance to deter and defeat the security threats of the 21st century.

Why I’m Voting Against The Budget
The following op-ed ran in today’s edition of the Austin American-Statesman, which can be accessed here.
This week, I will vote against the massive $3.6 trillion budget proposed by President Barrack Obama and Democrats in Congress, and Texans deserve to understand why. I believe this budget taxes too much, spends too much and borrows too much. This budget will delay economic recovery in Texas and across the nation, and it will reduce opportunities for all of us.
This budget will reduce opportunities for people looking for jobs. Nearly three-quarters of all new private sector jobs are created by small businesses. In Texas, we understand that small businesses are the employment engines of our economy, and so we have put in place policies that encourage entrepreneurs to invest in our state and create more opportunities. As ABC News reported last week, only three of the top 39 job markets in the nation gained jobs last year. All three are in Texas, and one of them is Austin.
I have worked to bring successful Texas policies to Washington, especially our policy of keeping taxes low. Once again this year I offered an amendment to make it harder for Congress to increase taxes in future budgets. Had this amendment been adopted last year, 60 votes in the Senate would be required today to increase taxes on America’s families and small businesses.
Congress chose not to make it harder to raise taxes, and so this year Obama proposed raising net taxes by $1.4 trillion over the next decade. Much of this burden will fall on our state’s most successful small businesses. He has proposed raising the top two tax brackets to a nominal rate of 36 and 39.6 percent, and by limiting deductions for state and local taxes and other expenses, the effective marginal tax rates on thousands of our small businesses will be over 40 percent.
Small businesses make a big contribution to our economy, and charitable organizations do the same for our society as a whole. More than 150 years ago, Alexis de Tocqueville marveled at the spirit of volunteerism in our country, and how quick we were to form “public associations” for the common good. Today, faith-based and community-based organizations heal the sick, feed the hungry and serve the most vulnerable among us.
Charitable organizations depend on the generosity of donors to serve our communities, and for decades we have encouraged this generosity by making charitable donations deductible. But Obama wants to limit this deduction for charitable contributions, which could cost charities nationwide anywhere from $4 billion to $9 billion.
You can see the potential impact right here in Austin. The Austin Pregnancy Resource Center is a 501c(3) organization that provides counseling and services to women who are pregnant or who may think they are pregnant. Some of their clients are students. Some are homeless. Some are victims of domestic violence and other abuse.
The center provides these confidential services at no cost to women in need. It relies completely on donations from individuals and businesses to fund its programs. Thanks to the generosity of the Austin community, the center now has two full-time employees, one part-time employee and about 60 volunteers.
The recession has made it harder for the center to raise money — even as the demand for its services increases. In just one day this month, the center received nearly 20 calls from women who could not afford to buy diapers. In the words of Executive Director Lori DeVillez, “There are many times where a bag of diapers or a can of formula truly means the difference between ‘Do I eat today, or provide for my baby?’ ”
The center works to ensure that its clients don’t have to face such a terrible choice. DeVillez estimates that up to 10 of the center’s largest donors would see their taxes go up under the president’s plan. She would like to see policies that would expand her pool of potential donors — rather than dry it up.
I believe that charitable organizations like the Austin Pregnancy Resource Center, as well as thousands of successful small businesses across our state, help make Texas a better place. They deserve our support. They do not deserve to suffer the impact of higher taxes. I will continue to bring the experience of successful Texas policies to our nation’s capital, and help more people contribute to the common good.

Dear David, When running to become your new Republican National Committee Chairman, I campaigned on a need for responsible change for our Party.
Not a change of our core values, but real change of how we go about listening to our supporters, how we communicate our message to all Americans and how we organize and win elections. While I’m excited about the challenges and opportunities we face, I have no illusions. I am fully aware of the hard work ahead and obstacles we must overcome to start winning elections again. But this isn’t about me — I can’t do this alone. It’s about you and every Republican grassroots leader who believes in our conservative principles of limited government, economic growth, personal responsibility and a strong national defense. And it’s about empowering you to lead and giving you the tools to help our Party set a new direction for our country. Successful campaigns cannot be run from a building in Washington. The strength of our Party comes from people like you who believe in our values and ideals and promote them in their communities. As one of my first official acts as Chairman, I’ve commissioned a survey of Republican activists in EVERY state. I want to hear from each of you to understand your thoughts and opinions about our Party and how we can once again be the party of ideas. That’s why I’m asking you to do two very important things for me: 1) Please take a moment right now to fill out online the State of the Republican Party Survey for the RNC. I want you to be honest and candid in your answers — there’s no need to sugar-coat your responses after our Party’s performances in the last two elections. If you choose not to participate in this crucial project, the RNC cannot create a campaign plan to educate and mobilize the millions of Republicans we need to resist the liberal agenda Barack Obama and the Pelosi-Reid Democrats are attempting to ram through Congress. Your guidance will also help us develop new strategies for winning the two Governor’s races held this year. The elections in New Jersey and Virginia offer Republicans a chance to demonstrate that we got your message and will help us seize the momentum. But we cannot lay the groundwork for winning this year and next without your participation in this survey and your active involvement in the RNC. So please complete your State of the Republican Party Survey online today and support the RNC’s efforts to grow our Party by making a secure contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25. David, our Party cannot do this without you. Please take this survey today. Sincerely, Contributions or gifts to the Republican National Committee are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

What is up with Global Warming? Can anybody bring the glaciers back? Did Al Gore get it wrong?
March 24, 2008 by OpinionHead
Filed under Opinions and Attitudes
Does anybody think that global warming is a myth? Well, since none of us was around way back when, the proof came from physical evidence that is still there today.
Al Gore and his cronies used what to predict Global Warming? Computer models! This is a relatively new toy, that has not been proven as accurate, nor has it been disproved, so what is my point? They were guessing!
Does anybody remember all of the talk about the coming Ice Age/cooling back in the 70′s? Follow that link to learn more. Since that didn’t work out the way the gloom and doomers wanted, why was it ever an issue? Why is it still an issue? Well, it points to what, more guessing!
Here is the most recent on Global Warming if it can be debated, it must be unproven, right?
Personally, I believe that Global Warming is real, very real, I mean where did the glaciers go? They melted! I am not talking about a couple of icebergs, I am talking about glaciers! However, this process took what, about a gazilion years to happen? There were no factories or pollution to help either! Read more
