The best functioning totalitarian State is built on those who have never known anything but the State. — Book of Common Misery
Yesterday, I was talking to a group of young, college students working as servers at an eatery my wife and I frequent. I asked them many questions about what was going on in their country. They were clueless. One, who has an infant son age eight months, was unaware that the failed economic stimulus, cap ‘n trade and ObamaCare will completely destroy the country that he grew up in. I told him that his young son will, in twenty years when he becomes part of the work force, be saddled with an impossible tax burden. None of my listeners, all government-school graduates, were concerned about what was going on. Already they have accepted that Big Government is a way of life; that Big Government will protect them cradle to grave; will protect the next generation and the generation after that. I asked if they knew what a trillion dollars was. They didn’t. I said currently America is at least twelve trillion dollars in debt. Still, they had no concern. I asked myself how this could be happening. If the youth of this country is the backbone of the future of this country and they are ignorant of the present do we stand a chance? The answer is: NO. Then I though of the parallels between Second Hussein and Hitler. Both understand the necessity of using youth as a cornerstone of destroying and then taking over the nation; any nation. Hitler did it through war; Second Hussein is doing it through destruction of the culture and economy.
This week, President Second Hussein kicked off the “United We Serve” program; a service led by the government Corporation for National and Community Service. The effort is aimed at getting youth to serve in communities confronting problems in the areas of education, health, energy, the environment and community renewal.
Second Hussein said, “…community service is one way Americans can make this country stronger.”
Sept. 11 is designated by Congress as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Thursday, May 07, 2009: Today the President submitted to Congress his FY 2010 budget request for a Corporation for National Service.
In Erich Hoffer’s True Believer, he illustrates the characteristics of person(s) who become ‘true-believers’ in a cause, good or evil: undying allegiance to authority; unquestioning acceptance of the movement; and a willingness towards self-sacrifice.
How was Hitler able to demand, even in the face of certain defeat, a pathological allegiance from his military and citizenry? Hitler offered promises, increased economic rewards, up-lifting propaganda, and guilt-free acceptance of whatever was done as fuhrerprinzip (leader principle). The strongest part of any following is a brainwashed core whose blind allegiance is formed from birth on; a generation of youth, totally loyal through their indoctrination in whatever is deemed important to the leader. In a speech Adolf Hitler stated that he would have his Third Reich long after the present generation had died away. He understood the value of twisting the minds of the young to do his bidding. When monies for fighting his war were low, a Europe-wide Youth Rally was held, sarcastically called, “Baldur’s Children’s Party” after Baldur von Schirach, the leader of Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth). The military considered it a wasted, but Hitler was investing in a generation that, even after his death, would do his bidding.
Baldur: “You further told us, my Führer, that this youth should be brought together not only by enthusiasm, but also by discipline and order. We have worked for years to fulfill your command, which today it is realized before you. We are proud to be worthy part of your great National Socialist movement.
“We feel even more than others, my Führer, that we are bound to you by your name. Your name is the youth’s happiness! Your name, my Führer, is our immortality!” ( September14, 1936, Hitler Youth Day Rally)
March 25, 2009, Congress Passes Obama Youth Bill known officially as: the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (volunteerism meaning coercion and education meaning indoctrination): “…a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”
Now, you see.

It was a “coup” in Honduras in a way, but it was really a coup for democracy.~ Dr. Michael Savage (June 29 show)
The Machiavellian plots of a would-be dictator were unexpectedly thwarted by the Honduran military last Sunday. President Manuel Zelaya, a Marxist socialist who is the protégé of his Venezuelan neighbor, President Hugo Chavez, unsuccessfully tried to turn his country into a banana republic to extend his term in office indefinitely by executive decree. (Can you say Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York?)
The report from Reuters said, in part, “Zelaya, who took office in 2006 and is limited by the constitution to a four-year term that ends in early 2010, had angered the army, courts and Congress by pushing for an unofficial public vote on Sunday to gauge support for his plan to hold a November referendum on allowing presidential re-election.”
Of course, Musolini-lite, Hugo Chavez is very angry by this recent “coup” in Honduras. Why? Chavez is worried that his people in Venezuela will get dangerous ideas of liberty and freedom. Coincidentally, Chavez escaped his own coup in 2002; perhaps this time he won’t be so lucky. Indeed, dictators can be kicked out of office by force when they contravene the constitution. Read more

Does A Nation That Worships Michael Jackson Deserve to Survive?

If given two buttons to push, one for pleasure, one for food, a lab rat will starve itself to death pushing the pleasure button ? so will humans. ? Book of Common Misery
On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson, also known as Wacko Jacko, died from a heart attack apparently caused by a fatal injection of Demerol. On this same date, the Second Hussein administration, using thug tactics reminiscent of Nazis, rammed through the most destructive-economically-crippling bill ever created in world history. A multi-trillion dollar so-called climate bill (cap and trade) that will kill industry and escalate everyone’s utility bills through the stratosphere. With this bill the Leftists will get the level world playing field they want: America will become a third world country on our way backward, headed for the Stone Age.
Of the two stories, which do you think was reported?
Hours and hours of boo hooing over a failed singer, self proclaimed King of Pop, self-made physical freak, filled the media ? statistically, Bing Crosby is the king of pop. Not a whisper of the national lobotomy being performed in the House of Representatives.
This massive tax increase, sponsored by ‘Snort It All’ Waxman and ‘Full Of’ M(al)arkey is over 1200 unread pages. At 3am, on the morning of the vote, another 300 pages of an unread amendment was smuggled in. Read more

Second Hussein, Part 4: The Anti-Christian

Carrying a Bible no more makes a man a Christian than carrying a dictionary makes him learned. ? Book of Common Misery
Rev. Jeremiah ‘Kill Whitey’ Wright, Second Hussein’s spiritual leader, his pastor for over twenty years, is a racist, anti-Semite, pro-terrorist and anti-American. He condones the killing of whites as the oppressors of all peoples, especially blacks. He sides with the terrorists on killing Jews. He blames American scientists for injecting blacks with the AIDS virus. At the same time, he claims that his six years in the military proves that he is patriotic ? Hitler served in the military, was a war hero; did this make him patriotic? He says that Second Hussein must speak to people one way because he is a politician and he, ‘Kill Whitey’ Wright, must speak to them in a different way because he is a preacher. Nation of Islam leader Louie Fair@con is ‘Kill Whitey’ Wright’s idol. Mao is his guide. He says that he has been quoted out of context. What context goes with “Goddamn America”?
Race hustlers like Kill Whitey make millions oppressing blacks, scamming the government through non-profit grants, extorting corporations through the fear of boycotts, and filling blacks with hate in the name of Christ. They’ve created virtual plantations of the soul that are far worse than any real plantation ever created any where on earth. Christianity is a religion of peace. Jesus was a man of forgiveness. Kill Whitey Wright preaches Christianity like the cult of death, Islam; another imam in Christian raiment. Read more
Iran Has Come to America

The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.
~ Maya Angelou, poet laureate
The nation of Iran is presently balanced on the precipice of civil war over the recent stolen elections returning Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a second term as president. And what do we hear from the leader of the free world, President Obama? Nothing but weak, tepid words amounting to acquiescence to mass slaughter by the autocratic mullahs who acutely feel their power slipping by the day.
As millions of Iranians march in the streets of Tehran and throughout other cities, I am struck by the dichotomies between their righteous indignation over the sham elections versus America’s indifference and apathy concerning our own stolen elections six months ago by Obama (who’s most likely not even a natural born citizen), the Democrat Party and the government-controlled media. Other than hundreds of “tea parties” that broke out in cities and towns across America to memorialize the Boston Tea Party of May 10, 1773, there have been no mass demonstrations in Washington, D.C., in front of the White House expressing outrage that 62.7 million voters, 54 percent of the voting population willfully elected a neo-Marxist with fascist tendencies as president of the United States.
Iran has come to America. In my home state of Michigan, a federal judge has recently upheld a decision by festival organizers in Dearborn, which is about 30 percent Muslim, to ban a Christian ministry from handing out religious tracts on public sidewalks. If America wasn’t already a benign dictatorship, Congress would have immediately drawn up articles of impeachment against this renegade judge for so blatantly abridging freedom of religion and freedom of association protected by the First Amendment.
If Christians, which 83 percent of Americans consider themselves, cannot worship and proselytize freely in America, then are we any better than China, Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba or any other autocratic regime? At least in Iran the people are finally fed up with 30 years of Muslim fanaticism and have taken their revolution to the streets. When will Christians and conservatives wake up and take the revolution to the streets here in America?
“He’s got a very delicate path to walk here,” said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. “You don’t want to take ownership of this,” defending Obama’s effeminate stance against Iran’s brutal political repression. That’s not Reagan’s “Peace through strength”; that’s not inspired leadership; that’s licking your finger, holding it up in the air and seeing which way the wind blows. Leaders lead! It’s time for Obama to stop being a man-child in the Promised Land and be a Man. But he can’t – why?
Obama is enslaved by his neo-Marxist, socialist ideology, which hates American exceptionalism, or the idea that America, by her unique history, religious traditions and Constitution is better than other countries possessing inferior historical and political traditions.
Even if Iran cuts off the world to their rich oil fields, Obama is in the midst of a Hobson’s choice. He must appease one of his major special interest groups – the radical environmentalists, who detest nuclear, coal, gas and oil energy. Therefore, he won’t exploit America’s huge oil reserves we have in Alaska, Utah, Colorado and reserves off the coast of Florida, Louisiana and California. Obama’s green energy bill currently before Congress is merely a Machiavellian tax increase.
Iranian dichotomies and American ironies – what’s the difference between Iran and America? Both are ruled by narcissistic, fascist dictators, a de facto one-party system dominated by cronyism, corruption, political commissars and a state-run press that justifies perverting the Constitution to “help the poor” and crush all political dissent. Remember that Ahmadinejad’s biggest demographic are the lower classes from the southern regions of Iran.
Now it has come out the Obama used backchannel communications with Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei. The letter was sent between May 4 and May 10 and laid out the prospect of “cooperation in regional and bilateral relations” and a resolution of the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. A Mideastwire.com article broke the story:
“The American president was quoted as saying that he expected the people of Iran to take to the streets,” Ayatollah Khamenei misquoted Mr. Obama as saying, according to a translation.
“On the one hand, they [the Obama administration] write a letter to us to express their respect for the Islamic Republic and for re-establishment of ties, and on the other hand they make these remarks. Which one of these remarks are we supposed to believe? Inside the country, their agents were activated. … The violators are not the public or the supporters of the candidates. They are the ill-wishers, mercenaries and agents of the Western intelligence services and the Zionists.”
These Iranian/American dichotomies are incredible. They show the utterly duplicitous, craven nature of Obama and how comfortable he is with coddling fascist Muslim dictators while bringing the iron fist to Israel and Bibi Netanyahu, demanding that they trade “land for peace” with the Palestinians despite the fact that Israel is a very tiny nation possessing only one-sixteenth of 1 percent of the total land mass of the Middle East.
After this letter Obama sent to the ayatollah is fully vetted, I’m sure it will become clear that much in the same way as the 1938 Munich Treaty between Neville Chamberlain and Hitler lit the fuse for World War II and the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, so we will soon learn that Obama’s appeasement letter to the ayatollah gave Iran the green light to steal the presidential election, brutally crush all political dissent and develop nuclear weapons with impunity to “wipe Israel off the map.”
Obama has disappointed no one but the tens of millions of besieged Iranians who honestly believed in representative democracy and the billions of people throughout the world oppressed under totalitarian regimes whose one light for freedom and liberty, America, was extinguished by the words and letters of appeasement by president Obama.

Peace through strength.
~ Ronald Reagan
Peace through strength are words uttered by President Reagan for the ages. They were the foundation of his foreign policy against communism and “the evil empire” – the Soviet Union. Enduring words that dismantled tyrannical nations, yet those words would amount to meaningless rhetoric and vacuous platitudes if Reagan didn’t back them up with a credible threat of punishment to those nations who would threaten America and her national interests.
In October 1986, at the Reykjavik nuclear-arms-control summit, Reagan backed up those words when nuclear non-proliferation talks broke down with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland and at Geneva the year before because the Soviets insisted that we stop developing SDI – the Strategic Defense Initiative. Reagan considered SDI, or the ability to develop a missile defense system where a defensive rocket is used to shoot down a hostile rocket in mid-air, to be non-negotiable. Rather than jeopardize America’s right to self-defense, Reagan walked out of the talks.
As the state-run media in 2009 praises Obama’s tepid remarks on the Iranian election as designed not to anger the mullahs, in 1985-87 America’s state-run media howled that Reagan’s actions would anger the Soviets and cause a greater escalation of nuclear weapons. On the contrary, history has proven Reagan right, and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed by Reagan and Gorbachev in Washington, D.C., Dec. 8, 1987.
