Standup, speak up, and never shut up concerning the Constitution of the United States.

This is called Fabian Socialism.  Oh by the way Obama taught this course for four years I believe at Yale.

In 1942, Stuart Chase, in his book "The Road We Are Traveling" spelled out the system of planning the Fabians had in mind; the interesting thing is to look at that plan in comparison to 2008 America.

1. Strong, centralized government.

2. Powerful Executive at the expense of Congress and the Judicial.

3. Government controlled banking, credit and securities exchange.

4. Government control over employment.

5. Unemployment insurance, old age pensions.

6. Universal medical care, food and housing programs.

7. Access to unlimited government borrowing.

8. A managed monetary system.

9. Government control over foreign trade.

10. Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production.

11. Government regulation of labor.

12. Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service and ideological teaching consistent with those of the authorities.

13. Heavy progressive taxation.

The One thing that is left out of this formula is Gun Control which the founding fathers said is the one thing that can stop this from happening. 

Think about it.

This appeared as a full page ad in THE WASHINGTON TIMES, Monday, May 25, 2009:

 In 1958 at the founding meeting for the John Birch Society, JBS founder Robert Welch made some uncannily accurate predictions about the long range plans for the social progressives within our government. Welch’s words, uttered a half century ago, have proven to be the verbatim script for the Obama Administration and the 111^th Congress. Read Welch’s words and compare them with today’s headlines.

In 1958 when the John Birch Society was chartered, Robert Welch invited me to join as a founding member. Because I was already deeply involved with the GOP, I declined. My world views, and those of Bob Welch, dovetailed perfectly. Looking at the mess this country’s in now, I wish I had. Here are Mr. Welch’s words. They are scary . . . but they are uncannily accurate.

“A part of the plan of the socialists is to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty piece by piece to various international organizations including the United Nations. Here are their aims for the United States.

1. ‘Greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means for getting rid of ever larger sums of money as wastefully as possible.
2. Higher, and then much higher, taxes.
3. An increasingly unbalanced budget despite the higher taxes.
4. Wild inflation of our currency.
5. Government controls of prices, wages and materials—supposedly to combat inflation.
6. Socialistic controls over every aspect of our economy, accompanied by an increase in size of our bureaucracy and the cost of our domestic government.
7. Centralization of power in Washington and the practical elimination of our State lines making our State lines mean no more than our country lines do now.
8. Complete federalization of our public education system.
9. Constant hammering into the minds of Americans the horror of modern warfare allowing for ‘peace at any cost’—on communist terms, of course.
10. The willingness of the American people to allow our government to implement the piecemeal surrender of the free world and the United States to global socialism.’”

Without looking at years past, Welch—in 1958—laid out the game plan that is being implemented today by the socialists in the 111^th Congress at the behest of the Obama Administration. Not just part of the game plan. All of it. If we’re going to fix this nation, we can’t waste time sitting on our thumbs waiting for someone else to step up and say, “I’ll do it.” This isn’t a one man show. We have to work together to take this nation back, or we’re going to follow GM and Chrysler to what will be the biggest global yard sale of history.

This isn’t a popularity contest . . .This is a fight to save America.

 Do you know how much a trillion dollars is?????
If you laid one trillion one-dollar bills end to end, it would make a chain from the earth to the moon 200 times. One trillion dollars would stretch nearly from the earth to the sun. It would take a jet flying at the speed of sound, reeling out a roll of dollar bills behind it, four years before it reeled out one trillion dollar bills. A million seconds is 11.5 days. A billion seconds is 32 years. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years.

YET…

A Record Deficit In 2009: The budget would produce a $1.75 trillion deficit, or 12.3 % of GDP, in 2009. This deficit level is more than three times the previous record deficit.

$24 Billion Spent A Day: Over the first fifty days of the new Administration, approximately $24 billon has been spent a day, most of it with borrowed money.

Doubling The National Debt Over The Next Eight Years: The budget doubles the national debt over the next eight years.

Record Spending In The Budget: The budget increases spending to $3.9 trillion in 2009, or 27% of GDP – the highest level since World War II. This is simply too much spending and will lead to higher taxes, slower economic growth, and fewer jobs for middle class families.

Increasing Your Families' Share Of The Debt: The current debt per capita exceeds $35,000. The budget would double the national debt in only eight years, thus ballooning your share to approximately $70,000.

Skyrocketing Net Interest Payments: Beginning in 2012, and every year thereafter, the government will spend more than $1 billion a day in net interest. By 2019, the government will spend $1.7 billion per day on net interest.

The Largest Tax Increase In American History: The budget will raise taxes by $1.4 trillion over the next ten years.

WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?
You, Your Children, Your Grandchildren, Your Great-Grandchildren….

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

– U.S. Constitution, Tenth Amendment

Fed up with Washington's involvement in everything from land use to gun control to education spending, states across the country are fighting back against what they say is the federal government's growing intrusion on their rights.

At least 35 states have introduced legislation this year asserting their power under the Tenth Amendment to regulate all matters not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution.

"This has been boiling for years, and it's finally come to a head," said Utah State Rep. Carl Wimmer. "With TARP and No Child Left Behind, these things that continue to give the federal government more authority, our rights as states and individuals are being turned on their head."

The power struggle between the states and Washington has cropped up periodically ever since the country was founded. But now some states are sending a simple, forceful message:

The government has gone too far. Enough is enough.

Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer recently signed into law a bill authorizing the state's gun manufacturers to produce "Made in Montana" firearms, without seeking licensing from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Similar laws are being considered in Utah, Alaska, Texas and Tennessee.

The Montana law is expected to end up in the courts, where states' rights activists hope judges will uphold their constitutional right to regulate firearms.

That would reverse a longstanding trend, said Martin Flaherty, a professor of constitutional law at Fordham Law School.

"From 1937 to 1995 there is not one instance of the Supreme Court knocking back Congress," he said. "In the Constitution the interstate commerce clause gives Congress the right to regulate commerce between the states. That gives them a lot of power. There were questions of how far they can reach, but then comes the New Deal, and Roosevelt gets all these picks on the [Supreme] Court, and they come upon a theory whereupon congressional power is almost infinite."

That 1930s understanding of the Constitution is now the norm, with advocates for the federal government arguing that issues of a certain size and scope can be addressed only by an institution with the resources of the federal government.

As an example, federal authority is necessary in the economic crisis, said U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, whose home state of Oklahoma recently passed a sovereignty resolution.

"The economic situation in our nation over the past year has not been contained in any one community or state. The industries and institutions affected by the recent economic crisis touch multiple layers of our economy and are not confined to any one state or region," he said in a statement. "I feel there was Constitutional justification for Congress's recent efforts to stabilize our economy."

But for many state leaders, the degree to which Congress regulates issues within their boundaries, using the interstate commerce clause to regulate just about everything and anything, has become untenable.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry made headlines recently when he made a passing reference to the possibility of the Lone Star State seceding from the U.S., saying, "if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that?"

States rights advocates offer countless examples of what they believe is Washington's overreach.

In Utah, 67 percent of the state's land is controlled by the federal government through wilderness preserves, limiting state leaders in their bid to fill government coffers through oil and natural gas drilling after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar cancelled 103,000 acres of leases this year.

In Idaho, ranchers are furious that federal endangered species law prevents them from shooting the wolves that prey on their cattle.

"The balance of power between the states and the federal government is way out of whack," said Georgia state Senator Chip Pearson." The effect here is incalculable. Everything you do from the moment you wake up until you get to bed, there is some federal law or restriction."

Up until recently, the state sovereignty movement has remained almost entirely Republican, drawing supporters from the ranks that voted against President Obama and attended tea parties last month to protest federal tax hikes.

But the movement's rank and file are just as likely now to criticize Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, as they are the new president, pointing to what they believe were Bush's overreaching policies on education and homeland security.

Many are becoming frequent visitors to a Web site, TenthAmendmentCenter.com, which was founded in early 2007 and has become a community bulletin board for states rights activists and politicians. Up to 20,000 viewers log on to the site every day.

The site's founder, Michael Boldin, a 36-year-old Web marketer in Los Angeles who says he has no political affiliation, says he decided to launch the site after watching the Maine State Legislature fight the Department of Homeland Security on the Real ID act, a controversial Bush-era law that will require states to issue federally regulated identification cards, complete with biometric data and stringent address checks.

"Maine resisted, and the government backed off, and soon all these other states were doing the same thing," Boldin said. "The bottom line is, if there's widespread support, people can resist the federal government at the state level."

The deadline for states to comply with Real ID has now been pushed back until 2011.

The Tenth Amendment movement is not without controversy. In Georgia, a columnist for The Atlanta Journal Constitution called a sovereignty resolution in the state Senate a threat "to secede from and even disband the United States."

The resolution, which was passed as part of a group of bills that were banded together, affirmed the state's powers under the Tenth Amendment, taking its inspiration and language from Thomas Jefferson's 1798 resolution opposing the Alien and Sedition Acts — laws enacted by the federal government during wartime to quiet protest against the government.

The resolution asserts that any instance of the federal government taking action beyond its enumerated powers "shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America."

"It's been taken out of context by some editors," said Pearson, who sponsored the bill. "It certainly never meant secession. The intent was to communicate that the actions of the federal government are an infringement on states' rights."

Robert Natelson, a law professor at the University of Montana who was involved in drawing up that state's sovereignty resolution over a decade ago, argues that states up until now have been unwilling to take action of any real consequence in checking federal power.

"Back then they passed the resolution, but they didn't turn down any federal dollars," he said.

"If the states are serious about returning the federal government to its historical origins, they're going to have to do more than pass resolutions. They're going to have to turn down money and litigate."

President Clinton was re-elected to a second term by moving to the middle.

It’s too late for Obama to move anywhere because of the bills passed by his congress which he signed. Bills the American people were against, such as healthcare and the pending cap and trade bill. Mr. Obama’s cabinet is so narcissistic they give vanity a bad name.

President Obama has been visiting America’s schools and speaking to students. We applaud Mr. Obama for this, his talks are not political and he stresses staying in school and being the best you can be.

Fidel Castro admitted last week on national television that his policies are not working out for the Cuban people. Former president Castro’s remarks were fifty years too late.

A remarkable archeological find was discovered recently in California. This organism of a past geological age was found to be former governor Jerry Brown. The democrats are again running Mr. Brown for governor of California. How desperate can they be?

What about the victory mosque located at ground zero? I deem the building of the mosque would be like the Japanese building a Shinto Shrine across the harbor from the battleship Arizona with the statue of a torpedo plane with Kamikaze pilots standing on the wings drinking sake and screaming “banzai”.
