I am clipping links to some of today's news stories to illustrate the death of liberty.
First, the war on Christianity continues with a San Diego County trying to stop private Bible studies in a private home. Witch Hunt anyone?
http://www.10news.com/news/19562217/detail.html
Next, Nancy Pelosi has declared that "every aspect of our lives must be subjected to inventory." Hitler tried the same thing.

Third, the American government now owns 72.5% of General Motors with the United Auto Workers Union owning another 17.5%. Marx would be so proud.

Fourth, and most Hitleresque of all; Obama is targeting and shutting down car dealers who disagree with him politically -- whether profitable or not.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Furor-grows-over-partisan-car-dealer-closings-46261447.html
If these stories do not boil your blood with terror or anger then nothing will. Today's headlines prove that liberty is in its final days.
And I didn't even include anything about the Sotomayer appointment to the Supreme Court which is obviously based on race, gender, and politics rather than merit or qualifications. Seriously, this woman has been reversed 60% of the time in her decisions. That alone should disqualify her. Does anyone seriously think that the most qualified person in the country to sit on the Supreme Court is a Hispanic woman?
Sorry, Martin Luther King Jr., your dream is long dead.

Star Trek Movie
Spoiler alert! Do not read this unless you have seen the new Star Trek movie.
I hate time travel. Until now.
Let me explain why.
Most time travel movies change the movie history or real history. Usually, time travel saves the day and everything goes to exactly as it was before or better. I can't think of any time travel movie where things were worse at the end of the movie.
But Star Trek did something that has not only never been done before, but could not have ever been done before. First, Star Trek completely wiped out its own legacy. Everything that happened in the numerous movies and television series (except Enterprise) was wiped out. But even that is not enough to reduce my hatred of time travel. Indeed, wiping out its own history is really just a marketing tactic, though brilliantly done.
The reason Star Trek was revolutionary and why I enjoyed the time travel aspect of this movie is because we now get to live an alternate future. No other movie can do that. We grew up with Star Trek and lived with it through more than 30 years. We know the characters and the stories because we lived them too. We know who dies, how they die, and when they die. We explored the universe with Kirk, Picard, Janeway (boo) and we experienced Star Trek for 30 plus years. It is as much a part of our lives as anything else in our culture. But now all of that is gone.
The true brilliance of purging its own history though is that we get to re-live those decades all over again and things may not (probably will not) ever be the same. Will Kirk ever have trouble with tribbles? Will Kirk ever know, need, or use the Corbomite maneuver? Will Picard ever meet Q? Will Janeway ever stop crying? Only time will tell. Maybe that stuff happens differently now or never at all. The point is we get to wonder as though we are or were actual participants in those events and in the time travel that purged those events. We are Spock -- sort of.
The bottom line is that new Star Trek movie was incredible in its use of time travel. Only Star Trek could wipe out OUR decades of experiences and OUR decades of knowledge and allow us to re-live a different history. No other film could even try to do that.
This movie brilliantly reinvented Star Trek and paved the way for another 30 years of Star Trek. Star Trek will live long and prosper.

Banking Riots for Morons
Riots are starting in England -- against the banking industry.
G20 protesters smash windows, clash with police
What is wrong with these people? They are actually mad at the banks? It was the banks who gave them loans to buy homes and cars and it was the banks who gave them a safe place to keep their wealth. The banks helped them out in times of need. The banks simplifyed their lives with debit and credit cards. And, it was the banks that organized their finances with online banking and bill pay. The banks they are rioting against provided these people with services that are extremely beneficial, convenient, and at times crucial.
Even now, these people all continue using these banking services. I wonder how many rioters stopped at an ATM on the way home from a long day of rioting. Or, how many rioters will even see the irony of using their bank issued credit card to post bail when they are arrested or to pay medical bills for riot related injuries.
These rioters -- I refuse to call them mere protesters -- are the biggest idiots known to man.
Government controls caused this banking "crisis" and government spending keeps fueling the fire. Regardless of the truth, these rioters are so stupid that they believe the lies of the liberal media and liberal government and have channeled their rage at the very hand that feeds them.
Government is to blame. If you are going to protest, complain, or riot at least point yourself at the guilty party. Leave the bankers alone. Bankers are people too.

Direct Taxes Will Set America Free
America is not free. Anyone who disagrees with me please challenge me on the issue. There is not one single aspect of your life that is not controlled, approved, or taxed by your government in some way. That is intolerable oppression.
The problem is apathy. No one pays attention to these controls or taxes so either no one cares or they do not even know it is happening. As long as people feel free it does not matter to them that they are not. And, America fosters apathy rather than defeats it. Education, media, and the courts are all controlled by liberals who have carefully crafted these institutions over the decades into creating a mindless populace. Most "conservative" sources have even started leaning left in the last few decades.
My solution to this apathy is really simple. I propose an amendment to our federal Constitution that requires the government agencies who tax us to tax us directly. No more bundling taxes into your phone, power, water, and cable bills. No more withholding from your paycheck. No more financing sales tax into your car payment. No more concealing taxes into the price of gas and cigarettes. Under my solution, all taxes must be billed directly from the responsible government agency.
Think about the aftermath.
Within only two or three months after receiving dozens of bills for dozens of taxes from dozens of different government entities this country would revolt. Many would be unable to pay their monthly income taxes because they are so oppressively high and hardly anyone would buy a house or car knowing that a lump sum tax bill is immediately due.
More importantly, Americans would be paying attention. Imagine the accountability this Amendment would create. Every penny in tax increases would be immediately felt and people would become far more attentive to all government actions.
Would anyone at all even tolerate taxes at their current rates if they had to see them and pay them separately? No way.
If we want to be free we have to end apathy. Our Constitution should encourage awareness and require governmental honesty. If they want to tax us into destruction make them do it openly.

Turn On for Earth Hour
Earth hour is tomorrow so I just wanted to post a quick reminder.
Please turn on all your lights and appliances from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so that we can remind that arrogant Mother Earth that it is her duty to provide us energy. We own her and she serves us. A brightly lit house with a few bundles of Christmas lights on the porch should send the proper message. Let's never let Earth forget that mankind is her superior. Indeed, if she ever defies us again we should probably consider destroying her outright. Of course, we all know that mankind is completely incapable of actually destroying the Earth but that can be our little secret.
In any event, if Mother Earth doesn't get the hint from all those lights on at my house maybe the liberal eco-idiots who want to control my usage of energy will. Live free or die.

California is Racist
California wants to ban black cars. Seriously. Black cars.
http://wardsauto.com/commentary/cool_paints_ugly_090324/
The fact that California is banning black cars doesn't actually surprise me at all. In fact, I am surprised they aren't banning white cars. Those crackers blind me with their highly reflective white superiority.
For the record, I drive two gray cars since I believe in judging a car by its character, not its color.

Obama Will Send Goons For Me Now
Google had a link to send questions to President Obama. Here is my question posted a few minutes before this post.
"Your presidency parallels that of Adolph Hitler and you have blatantly and repeatedly violated our Constitution. Do you plan eventual genocide as he did or will you instead change your direction midstream and give us back our sacred freedom?"
The website did not have any categories for freedom, genocide, slavery, or oppression so I placed my question in all the other categories. Now, if I disappear or die in an "accident" you will know its because the supreme overlord thug Obama sent his goons to silence me.
If I am ever clear about anything let it be this. I cherish freedom and I am not afraid to speak in its behalf. Obama can send thugs to harass AIG employees, he can pay off Acorn for the fraudulent votes they obtained for him, and he can control every American through intimidation, bribery, or flattery but ONLY DEATH WILL SILENCE ME!
I truly hope Obama fails because if he succeeds in initiating even half of his goals he will trigger a very bloody war in this country; which by the way, is exactly what he wants.

First Amendment Under Fire
A city in Florida is actually fining a man $500.00 a day for posting the words of the First Amendment on his building.
Florida city 'spitting in veterans' faces'
Most of you will find this a little funny but I, for one, find it terrifying. Think about what a government would do if it is willing to fine someone for displaying the very words of our Constitution that protect his right to speak. The irony is almost unbearable. How far would such a government go under the cover of night? How far would it go if it gets away with this garbage?
You should fear any government that would oppress its people in bold defiance of the very document from which it derives its power. This is funny on some level, but it is far more terrifying on the surface. No truly free country would even consider this kind of oppression, let alone actually doing it openly and flagrantly.
Hopefully, the tyrannical arrogance of Clearwater Florida will be defeated rather than spread to other city governments.
This kind of tyranny is why I started this blog and it is why I shall never allow my own voice to be silenced. Indeed, the harder any tyranny tries to silence my voice, the louder it will become.

Good Bye Security and Freedom
IT'S HERE!!!
The FAILED assault weapons ban is back. Is anyone surprised? No. I thought not.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1
One funny part of the article is the reason for re-instituting the ban. MEXICO. Seriously, Mexico.
"Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into the U.S."
That is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Mexico is complaining about American guns flooding into Mexico. Am I the only one who gets the irony here? A country that is so corrupt that its criminals flee by the millions and commit crimes in our country and THEY are complaining that it is our "sophisticated" guns that cause crime in their country???
Where am I? If this is not Bizarro World then I am either lost or certifiably insane.

You Now Owe Obama $62,000.00!!!
The Obama stimulus package will cost the average taxpayer $62,000, if you paid it today.
http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/02/16/lott_obama_stimulus/
Considering that the stimulus package is only the tip of the Obama spending iceberg and that you are repaying the stimulus money over time with interest, a paltry $62000.00 looks silly in comparison to the real cost.
Obama has literally enslaved you, your children, and your grandchildren.
Even setting aside the ludicrous uses of the stimulus money, the sheer amount of your personal burden should outrage you. If not, nothing will.
