If the Climate bill monstrosity is passed, it will destroy our economy. Do you know what’s in it? Neither did House members that voted for it. The 1500 page bill was passed after a 300 page amendment was added at 3:00 a.m. Sound familiar?

Onerous provisions include a requirement to have federal inspection before you sell your home. You are required to retrofit to California building codes before you are allowed to sell your own home. New construction must meet California building codes. This does not bode well for the real estate market, building industry, or private property rights.

Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore and Rep. Ed Markey (his name on the bill) have large investments in “green” energy and passage will benefit them personally. Alan Carlin, PhD, senior analyst with the EPA, issued a report disputing the U.N. data on “climate change.” The report has been suppressed by the administration. Mr. Carlin has been told to shut up. www.cbsnews.com

Health Care will be crammed down our throats as well. Despite Mr. Obama’s insistence that “you can keep your coverage,” a public plan insures private insurance will soon be extinct. Watch democrats in their own words at The Public Plan Deception - It's Not About Choiceon YouTube.

Neither bill is about its stated purpose. The goal is to allow the federal government to control your life. Call, fax, email your Senators. Peaceable protest is still legal, but you’d better hurry. Wake up people! Dictatorship is NEVER benevolent.

The facist/socialist/statist/communist/dictatorship forces of the House of Representatives had their way with the American people yesterday in the form of voting for the "CAP AND TRADE" or "CAP AND TAX" bill.

This bill is the culmination of the work of the Al Gore the Almighty Green God. He "donates" his salary, but has set himself up, along with GE, Pelosi, Markey, etal. with investments that will make a fortune in green - and I'm not talking about the environmental kind.

While the country was distracted by the death of Michael Jackson, late on a Friday afternoon, 8 Republicans voted to pass this monstrosity. Their names and phone numbers are listed below and you are encouraged to not only let them have a piece of your wisdom, but I encourage you to campaign against these people, and if they are up against a democrat, by all means give the democrat funds, but not your vote, AND DEFEAT THESE TRAITORS TO THE AMERICA THAT I LOVE!!!

Time for the gloves to come off, my fellow conservatives, we must take the fight to the statists, no matter what letter comes after their name.

In the interest of FREEDOM, I have purchased a poster for the fabrication of my sign to be used in the 4th of July Tea Party.

I has come to my attention that a bill is sitting in House Committee that would effectively put my backyard garden under Federal control.

 

I have sent the following to Senators Martinez and Nelson, as well as Jeff Miller.

---

The Food Modernization Act of 2009 (HR 875 and S 425) disturbs me greatly. The text of HR 875 and S 425 would effectively strip the authority of the States’ Agriculture Departments and put them under federal control to be used as enforcement agencies. Please consult the 10th Amendment. It is so broad that it could even affect backyard gardeners and hunters involved with processing food for their own consumption.

The bill proposes onerous recordkeeping and disclosure by any “food processing facility” – i.e. family farm - in “any format (including paper or electronic) and at any location to assist the Administrator.” I dare say that Ruth at the three-day a week farmer’s market (she’s the one I buy tomatoes from) does not have the resources to provide a report to some bureaucracy. I grew the collards for my New Year’s dinner this year, and under this plan I would have been subject to inspection and record-keeping. My friend Mary cooks the wild turkeys that her husband hunts. This legislation would make her kitchen a “food processing facility” subject to inspections. Please consult the 4th amendment.

It is presumed that this bill will be passed without a thorough reading. I ask you to read this bill, especially Sections 103 and 206. The wording of this bill is so broad-based that it would give the Federal government control over producing our own food. This is a dangerous proposition and treacherous legislation. It must not pass.

This bill will usurp the authority of State agricultural committees, as well as local agricultural authorities and use them as policing arms of the federal government. The concern is that this legislation, because of its innocuous name will be passed without review.

Obama is very up-front about medical records being computerized, but fails to mention the health care committee and the "Health Czar" to be created. This panel would determine the cost versus the life expectancy of an individual as to whether they receive healthcare or not. Also, that doctors should become less independent??

Tom Daschle is out of the picture, but his greasy fingerprints are all over this one. He stated in his book that the reason that Hillarycare didn't work was because the people found out about it. This time it must be done swiftly and without too much detail. This fits that bill. We must write letters to the editor, call talk radio, post to blogs and make this widely known - and quickly!

 

I debated myself this morning. Should I fly the flag upside down, should I fly it at half staff, should I fly it at all (my Mother said if I have nothing good to say, I should say nothing).

Conservatives not being conservatives brought us to this point. We must return to the values of Ronald Reagan and educate, educate, educate the masses that government dependence is not the way of freedom. We must focus on the virtues of Capitalism, ala Ayn Rand. We must cleanse our movement of the Lindsey Grahams and the John McCains. We must demand that the Republicans that are left on Capitol Hill have the cajones to fight the good fight against socialism, which has never worked, and left unchecked will surely dissolve into tyranny:

''For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principled concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all care of thinking and the trouble of living?” . . . It covers the surface of society with a network of small and complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.''

Alexis de Tocqueville from Democracy in America 1836

My flag is flying high – in DEFIANCE.

Our Republic is in danger. Barack Obama’s radicalism runs deep. Charismatic politicians throughout history have seized on the idealism and gullibility of youth. Barack Obama is such a politician.

I believe that his and his party’s ambitions are more nefarious than he would have the electorate believe.

An Obama administration will embrace no holds barred socialism. Mr. Obama himself has said that he would “spread the wealth around” - ala Mr. Marx.

Additionally, with Democrats in full power, a new and improved “Fairness Doctrine” will immediately be imposed, not only on talk radio, but on the internet. This will effectively shut down the voices of opposition. They will also pass the benign-sounding “Employee Free Choice Act”, designed to unionize workplaces without secret ballots. We know that in the former Soviet Union membership in a union was required for a job or even a loaf of bread.

Obama must be exposed for the Marxist that he is. McCain cannot do it, for his standard of civility, bless his heart, does not permit it.

An op-ed letter penned by Jon Voight appeared in The Washington Times on July 25, 2008. He has summed up the fears of many, much more eloquently than I. His letter is worth reading and promulgating:  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/28/voight/  

What Should We Do?

As I wrote on Sunday on National Review Online here are four immediate steps we can take:

Eliminate the "mark to market" accounting provision which is driving companies into bankruptcy unnecessarily.

Repeal the Sarbanes-Oxley law which failed in every case this year and which burdens new companies with a $3 million-a-year accounting fee.

Join China and Singapore in eliminating the capital gains tax and watch money pour into the system from private investors at no cost to the taxpayer.

Pass a strong energy bill to return at least $500 billion a year in energy money to the United States.

If we had an extra $5 trillion in energy spending in our economy in the next ten years with a zero capital gains tax and a liberated entrepreneurial sector no longer crippled by Sarbanes-Oxley we would generate the wealth to absorb all the current losses.

A No-Growth Bailout Just Sets the Stage for More Bailouts

Congress should pass no bailout without attaching a powerful economic growth component to it.

A bailout in isolation simply sets the stage for more bailouts.

In the absence of economic growth the economy will decay and debts will decay and they will be back next year for even more of your money.

Economic growth is the only way to get America on the right track.
