			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This guy is a leader.  He&#8217;s actually far nicer to this parasite than I would have been, but he tells how it is:  If you don&#8217;t like the pay, find another line of work.  It&#8217;s about time somebody stood up to the entitled mentality that these teachers have about their worth, relative to the private sector.  The mantra of &#8216;Teachers are so underpaid!&#8217; does not cut it with me.  9 months of work per year and a pension, vested in many cases in less the 10 years.  Guess what, there are very few areas of the private sector that offer pensions anymore.  In fact, I can&#8217;t think of one that does it as a matter of course.  Then I hear how they have to grade papers at night &#8211; well, I work late, I work from home, and I work weekends and guess what, I don&#8217;t get 3 months off a year!  There are a lot of great teachers out there, and a lot of terrible teachers that shouldn&#8217;t be anywhere near a classroom and we&#8217;ve got the high school graduation rates to prove it.  Public education in this country is a joke and the first step in fixing it is to abolish the Department of Education and ALL state teacher&#8217;s unions.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so the spin has begun with Senator Durbin.  This video shows Senator Durbin telling Congress that the health insurance companies are packing the town hall meetings with angry people to try to turn the tide against the president&#8217;s health care plan.<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M22AKmiTwaE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M22AKmiTwaE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
Take a look at You Tube there are videos from town hall meetings all over the country.  People are showing up angry over the &#8220;health care plan&#8221;.  Durbin goes on to say that it has as about as much impact as flooding the congressional switch boards &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t really mean anything&#8230;&#8221;  The arrogance here and the audacity of him to disregard the public is astounding.  I find this one short video very telling.  What is it going to take to get through to Washington?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am posting here a letter which <a href="http://rightwingrocker.blogspot.com/">Right Wing Rocker </a>posted.  I have no idea if this is from an actual teacher,  I only know that I agree with the sentiments. Everyone should read it.</p>
<blockquote><p>April 17, 2009<br />
The White House<br />
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW<br />
Washington , DC 20500</p>
<p>Mr. Obama:</p>
<p>I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally..</p>
<p>You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America. You are responsible to the citizens of the United States. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.</p>
<p>I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?</p>
<p>Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?</p>
<p>Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You didn&#8217;t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia .. How dare you, sir! How dare you!</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don&#8217;t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey .. You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What&#8217;s the matter with you?</p>
<p>I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.</p>
<p>You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.</p>
<p>What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members &#8211; on top of the $2.5=2 0million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven&#8217;t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn&#8217;t!</p>
<p>Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that&#8217;s $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million &#8211; not a bad take.. Who authorized that and why haven&#8217;t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.</p>
<p>I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.</p>
<p>I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Every real American</p>
<p>Ms Kathleen Lyday<br />
Fourth Grade Teacher<br />
Grandview Elementary School<br />
11470 Hwy . C<br />
Hillsboro , MO 63050<br />
(636) 944-3291 Phone<br />
(636) 944-3870 Fax</p>
<p>P. S. I rarely ask that emails be passed around&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST&#8230;..IT&#8217;S PAST TIME FOR ALL AMERICAN TO WAKE UP!!!!</p></blockquote>
<p>Bravo!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html">article</a> by Kyle Anne Shriver on American Thinker to be spot on.  It&#8217;s a juxtaposition of Saul Alinsky&#8217;s &#8220;Rules For Radicals&#8221; and Jonah Goldberg&#8217;s &#8220;Liberal Fascism&#8221;, and she draws some very interesting and frightening conclusions.  It&#8217;s long, but it&#8217;s definitely worth the read.  Here&#8217;s an excerpt from Alinsky:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A People&#8217;s (community) Organization is not a philanthropic plaything or a social service&#8217;s ameliorative gesture.  It is a deep, hard-driving force, striking and cutting at the very roots of all the evils which beset the people.  It thinks and acts in terms of social surgery and not cosmetic cover-ups.<br />
A People&#8217;s Organization is dedicated to an eternal war.  A war is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play.&#8221;<br />
Saul Alinsky; Reveille for Radicals; p. 133   </p></blockquote>
<p>In light of this, I find it even more chilling than during the campaign that Obama proudly proclaimed his roots as a community organizer as a relevant to qualifying him for the Presidency.  Shriver points out that although Obama didn&#8217;t start this movement, he is the &#8216;committed closer&#8217; to the movement.  In my opinion, there is no getting around the fact that Obama&#8217;s agenda goes far beyond being the steward of the Presidency and the American ideals embodied by the office.  His actions to date in the private sector have been unprecedented and tyrannical in nature.  The bottom line is this, we are in for a life of hell if this ass-clown is allowed to fully implement his agenda of &#8216;change&#8217;.<br />

Across the broad spectrum of the main street media, one pundit,  commentator, and political hack after another is being rolled out for the express purpose of advising the Republican Party on ‘how to best return to political relevance’.  The advice can be summed up as follows- leave Reaganism, Conservatism, and religious belief behind and move to the glorious center in order to appeal to the masses.  They’ve even gone so far as to say that ‘The Republicans have abandoned the big-tent philosophy of Ronald Reagan only to be controlled by the likes of the polarizing Rush Limbaugh’.<br />
Reagan had no ‘big-tent’ philosophy, his message was clear and straightforward, and cut across all perceived societal boundaries, including race and income bracket.  He knew that a clear vision of America’s future that did not include government apparatchiks inserting themselves into every aspect of our lives is what was needed to win.  Same as today.</p>

The Republicans aren’t out of the majority in Congress and the White House because they’ve been too Conservative.  The opposite is true, however, to listen to the MSM outlets, you’d believe that court was adjourned and the verdict was in – Republicans need to move to the middle, i.e. be more like the godless Communists that are in power right now – and yes, I am referring to the Democrats and Obama in particular.<br />
The latest to come out with this message is the quintessential politician himself, former Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell.  This is the only thing that I’ve ever heard him take a firm stand on aside from WMD’s in Iraq at the U.N. (Which I believe there were, by the way)<br />
From newsbusters.org…<br />
&#8220;The Republican Party is in deep trouble,&#8221; Powell told corporate security executives at a conference in Washington sponsored by Fortify Software Inc. The party must realize that the country has changed, he said. &#8220;Americans do want to pay taxes for services,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less.&#8221;<br />
For which Americans exactly does Sec. Powell believe he is speaking?  I know for one, that if I want a service, I will pay for it, but I see no need to involve the Government in that transaction.  How on earth could that be cheaper or more efficient – let me answer that for you, IT CAN’T.  What he should say is what he really means, a significant number of Americans (ACORN registrees, etc…) want Americans, other than themselves, to pay taxes for services that they want, but don’t want to directly pay for out of their own pockets.  Why pay when you can tax the guy in the big house down the street –he’ll pay, he always does.<br />
He is correct in saying that the country has changed- there are now generations of folks that know of no other income source than that which comes from the government.  Is that because of Conservatism?  No.  That’s due to generations of progressive Demo-Communist rule from Woodrow Wilson and the despicable FDR, through Johnson.  Is it all their fault?  No, there have been too many Republican Presidents that did not abide by Conservative principles.  Nixon, Bush, and Bush for starters.<br />
Think about this we’ve only had three relatively fiscally conservative Presidents since Roosevelt, those would be Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan.  Look at the good that they were able to acheive.  The eight years of Reagan are what gave us the last 20 years of economic prosperity.  It took three big government Presidents to screw it up, that’s how powerful fiscal conservatism is, and now we’ve got another.<br />
Powell continued, (also from newsbuster.org…)<br />
He blasted radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, saying he does not believe that Limbaugh or conservative icon Ann Coulter serve the party well. He said the party lacks a &#8220;positive&#8221; spokesperson. &#8220;I think what Rush does as an entertainer diminishes the party and intrudes or inserts into our public life a kind of nastiness that we would be better to do without,&#8221; Powell said.<br />
Powell doesn’t like the fact that there are still Conservative fighting for control of the Republican party – neither does Obama and the Commucrats.  I can rationalize Powell having this view because he is a career military person who has never held a private sector job prior to his rise to prominence, hence, all things good in his professional life have come from Uncle Sam – more must be better?  (I’m not knocking career military people here, but that is how I see it.)  However, I believe this new media mantra of ‘why won’t the Republican see the light and abandon Conservatism?’ is being driven from The White House.<br />
I believe the one thing that the current Administration fears could derail it’s Marxist agenda for America is a resurgence of Conservatism as a driving force within the Republican party.  Yes, they are afraid.  There have been so many montages put together of so called reporters parroting the Commucrats talking points that I have no doubt that they, the MSM, are getting a daily briefing from David Axelrod and Rahm ‘Tiny Dancer’ Emanual.  I believe a full court press has been on since the tea parties to prevent the Conservative wing of the Republican Party from taking charge of the platform.<br />
Why would the Commucrats fear this?  They are in power, what have they to fear?  Reagan pulled votes from the Democrats in droves.  Today, their ‘big tent’ coalition is so fractured and held together by duct tape, that all it would take is a clear message of Reagan-esque Conservatism to undermine the base and lose their majority in the Senate in 2010 – it only takes a few.  That’s why they are doing this now.  If, when the dust settles, Conservatives have regained control of the Republican Party the Commucrats are in trouble and they know it.<br />
If I’m wrong, why then all the negative coverage of Conservatism in a party out of power 18 months before an election of any significance?   The election is over – why are they still bashing Sara Palin?  At every opportunity, Meghan McCain is on TV bashing the Conservative wing of the party – who the hell is she other than a useful idiot?  Why so much airtime?<br />
Anyone who thinks that the Democrats are a unified block, firing on all cylinders need on look at the ‘Cap And Trade’ extortion plans of Chairman Obeyme to see that there is a great deal of division within the ranks.  They, congress, are hearing from the great unwashed masses and trouble is brewing.<br />
Divide and conquer, that’s the strategy.  Conservatism, by its very definition, means to conserve or preserve for posterity.  That means Conservatives are reluctant to ‘Change’, for the sake of ‘Change’ – whatever that word happens to mean under current circumstances.  Conservatives believes that they have a responsibility to his ancestors, as well as to his progeny, to preserve the law and traditions handed down to them.  Therefore they are the natural enemy of current regime and their mantra of ‘Change’, offered with no definitions, boundaries, or scope.<br />
A majority of people in this country believes that spending trillions of dollars, indebting our descendents with enourmous debts in a few weeks is reckless – and to do so without reading the spending bills is criminal.  These people have far more in common with Conservatives than with the Commucrats currently in power.  That is exactly why you will continue to see Conservatives under attack in the weeks and months to come.  The MSM will endeavor, at the behest of their master, Chairman Obeyme, to make conservatives look archaic, dinosaur-like religious zealouts who stand in the way of ‘progress’.<br />
