I wanted to share this article written in Forbes magazine analyzing his roots and how he thinks. This article represents why we as the American people need to not be passive, not stick our heads in the sand, but STAND UP and take a stand. Obama was elected not by chance, strings were pulled behind the scene and he was elected for a purpose. That purpose being, break down our beloved country. His father, who he never speaks in great detail was more or less a communist who encouraged nationalization of country's. So much so he wrote a dissertation on it. Call me fear mongering, call me crazy, call me what you will, but I believe he doesn't love our country..he doesn't value what we stand for. How could you when you spend much of your early life in Indonesia? Please read the 2 articles below and get ticked enough to start a revolution and get this guy out of office!!!!!!!!
**Disclaimer for the liberal reader** By saying "get this guy out of office," I don't mean by trying to hurt him. I simply mean make him a 1 term president. (Just so we are clear and I am not taken out of context, I know how you are easily confused)
Follow the links below and take a stand people! :)
Obama's Roots
"Problems facing our Socialism" Obama Sr.
- Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
- C. S. Lewis
English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)

The Conservative vs The Statist
I was listening to Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" audio CD on my trip to and from Tennessee this weekend, and I wanted to share some excerpts that really stuck out for me.
Statist = Liberal
And yet, the Statist has an insatiable appetite for control. His sights are set on his next meal even before he has fully digested his last. He is constantly agitating for government action. And in furtherance of the purpose, the Statist speaks in the tongue of the demagogue, concocting one pretext and grievance after another to manipulate public perceptions and build popular momentum for the divestiture of liberty and property from its rightful possessors. The industrious, earnest, and successful are demonized as perpetrators of various offense against the public good, which justifies governmental intervention on behalf of an endless parade of “victims.” In this way, the perpetrator and the victim are subordinated to the government’s authority—the former by outright theft, the latter by a dependent existence. In truth, both are made victims by the real perpetrator, the Statist.
The Statist also knows that despite his successful usurpations, enough citizens are still skeptical and even distrustful of politicians and government that he cannot force his will all at once. Thus he marches in incremental steps, adjusting his pace as circumstances dictate. Today his pace is more rapid, for resistance has slowed. . . .
he conservative is alarmed by the ascent of a soft tyranny and its cheery acceptance by the neo-Statist. He knows that liberty once lost is rarely recovered. He knows of the decline and eventual failure of past republics. And he knows that the best prescription for addressing society’s real and perceived ailments is not to further empower an already enormous federal government beyond its constitutional limits, but to return to the founding principles. A free people living in a civil society, working in self-interested cooperation, and a government operating within the limits of its authority promote more prosperity, opportunity, and happiness for more people than an alternative. Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are the founding principles.
Food for thought....

For Grandma "the Patriot" Betty
Hello fellow Patriots! Many of you know I have a LOUD opinion when it comes to political happenings! So, I started this blog as a way to channel my opinions away from the mixed company on Facebook. I am 100% sure that I have offended people with my opinions, and while I am not sorry for my offenses, I do want to let people have the choice as to whether or not they read my opinions. So, if you are of the liberal audience, this page is not for you. Feel free to read on, but I can not be held liable for common sense facts that will be displayed on this blog. To my Patriot audience, I hope to enlighten and entertain you! Thanks for reading. :)
