People must cease to be beguiled by a news media which have clearly taken sides and are complicit with the Democrats in their attempt to remake America into a European-style socialist republic, and ultimately, if Obama has his way, to a reincarnation of the Soviet Union. We must realize that at whatever level, be it municipal, state or national, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for socialism, which has failed just about everywhere it's been tried.
Some Things To Think About (2012 Presidential Election)
"The most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" -- Ronald Reagan
The presidential election of 2012 is still more than a year away, but it isn't too early to start thinking about the importance of this particular election, and what its results will mean for the future of our country. The bloom is definitely off the proverbial rose when it comes to President Barack Obama, as poll after poll bears out. Even some Democrats are having second thoughts about the man they thrust into the Oval Office with virtually nothing going for him but vague promises of "hope" and "change," a resume consisting largely of blank pages, a history that was more mystery than history, and a whole lot of hatred for his predecessor. With nearly everything Obama has attempted having failed, the country now deeper in debt than it has ever been before, our bond rating lowered from AAA to AA-plus, growing unemployment, and Obama's answer to the jobs crisis amounting to a doubling-down on what didn't work before -- a Stimulus II, in effect -- it all seems to make for the casting of Obama as the perfect scapegoat. Most recently, he has pleaded with his supporters -- those who are left -- "If you love me, you'll help me get this bill passed." Apparently, the Comrade hasn't read the polls recently, and is still under the impression that he continues to send thrills up our legs -- well, those of some of us, anyway.
We would be remiss, however, in surmising that Obama got us where we are today all by himself. He in fact had a lot of help: from then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and, of course, the ubiquitous alumni of the Josef Goebbels School of Journalism who, with perfectly straight faces, call themselves our "mainstream" news media. For all the Republican bashing that has gone on since last year's mid-term election, the elitists of the Fourth Estate seem to believe that the American electorate has the same short memories they have with regard to the fact that for two years before that Democrats had not only the White House but majorities in both houses of Congress as well. It was during this period that government seizures of private industry took place, that Stimulus I was enacted, and that Obamacare was ramrodded through Congress against the will of the people.
As conservative pundits have repeatedly stated in one fashion or another with regard to the Party of the Jackass -- blame Thomas Nast for that if you will, but the Democrats themselves could have changed this, and for whatever reasons, have never done so -- "This is not your father's Democratic Party." While it has been more or less true that ever since the days of Saint Franklin the Democrats have been the party of big government, it was during the years 2009 and 2010 that the masks came off and the Democrats showed us in unmistakable terms who they really are, and what they would do to our country given the chance. They had that chance during that two-year stretch, and, to the detriment of our country, they made the most of it. It is far from being hyperbole to say that the only differences between today's Democratic Party and the Socialist Workers Party are, (1) what they call themselves -- and, in this regard, the Socialists, to their credit, are at least honest in telling us who they are and what they stand for, and (2) the number of voters registered with each party. Tough the Democrats still have enough registered members to qualify as a mainstream party, whereas the Socialists are considered fringe, their agendas are identical.
Two who were quick to recognize this and exploit it to their advantages were theoretician Saul Alinsky and his disciple, Barack Obama. Following Alinsky's lead, Obama knew that had he registered as a Communist he never would have made it to the Illinois senate let alone the Oval Office. By registering as a Democrat, however, Obama was able to realize much Communist agenda, such as government takeover of portions of the banking, insurance, and automotive industries, and the push-through of socialized medicine. On the other hand, the late Gus Hall, who was chairman of the Communist Party of the United States of America for over 30 years, was unable to do much more than preach to the proverbial choir, parroting the Moscow line with few if any outside the Party either listening or taking him seriously.
With clear and present danger coming at us from the Left -- and right now, the Left still controls the Executive Branch and half of the Legislative Branch of our government -- it becomes necessary for us to take a clear and fresh look at the Democratic Party, and see it for what it is, rather than what it has pretended to be. First, it is not the Party of the Common Man. People like Warren Buffett and George Soros are hardly representative of Everyman. What was once generally acknowledged to be the Party of the Workingman has, to use Darwinist terms, evolved into the party of trial lawyers, Hollywood celebrities, union bosses (whose thinking does not necessarily represent that of rank-and-file union members), and big business. That's right, big business, that entity supposedly represented by the Republicans! Outfits like Goldman-Sachs, for instance, are clearly on the Obama bandwagon. Small business owners, on the other hand, are more likely to support the Republicans. While carefully taking advantage of each and every tax deduction available to him, Warren Buffett hypocritically bemoans the idea that he doesn't pay enough in federal taxes. So what's to prevent Mr. Buffett from simply writing a check for whatever amount payable to the United States Treasury and assuaging his guilty conscience that way? I'm afraid you'll have to ask Mr. Buffett himself about that.
Thirty years ago, Ronald Reagan showed us all how to pull ourselves out of bad economic times and return to prosperity. It was a simple, three-step method: (1) reduce taxes, (2) reduce government spending, and (3) get the government out of the way and allow the private sector to do what it does best. For reasons that can be surmised as being purely ideological, President Obama -- and his Democratic Party with him -- have refused to do what has been shown in the past to work and work well, and instead doubled down on what doesn't work: increased taxes, more spending, more regulation, and more government interference with the economy.
Today we live in a United States of America far different from what it was only 20 years ago. Investors are afraid to invest, our national debt is out of control, and we are spending money we literally do not have. Consequently, the futures of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been mortgaged beyond their ability to repay a debt that was not of their making. Political correctness has made a mockery of the First Amendment, and the out-of-control expansion of our federal government has virtually negated the Tenth Amendment. Voting for Barack Obama in 2012 will ensure not only the continuance of this, but the further growth and expansion of it. People must cease to be beguiled by a news media which have clearly taken sides and are complicit with the Democrats in their attempt to remake America into a European-style socialist republic, and ultimately, if Obama has his way, to a reincarnation of the Soviet Union. We must realize that at whatever level, be it municipal, state or national, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for socialism, which has failed just about everywhere it's been tried.
Yes, we do have a few things to think about between now and November of 2012.
Tim Siggia
Tim Siggia is from Hartford Connecticut, and attended Central Connecticut State College (now Central Connecticut State University) from 1963-67 and then joined the United States Navy. In 1973 he completed a bachelor or arts degree in English at the University of Maine at Portland-Gorham. In 1991 he retired from the Navy at the grade of Chief Journalist after which he joined the United States Postal Service, from which he is due to retire in 2012. He now lives in East Hartford Connecticut with his wife Penny. They have three sons and six grandchildren
Both conventions trotted out women and Hispanic office holders, and there were no real surprises here. The difference, however, was in tone. The general Republican tone was upbeat and positive. While Obama's policies were deservedly attacked, Obama himself was not. Candidate Romney, in fact, seemed to go to great length to point out that while Barack Obama was a good family man, he was a bad president
Due to the recent change in government, Egypt exerts little authority over the Sinai Peninsula, which allows smugglers to operate without any interference, the police source stated. The central smuggling route to Gaza is based on the transfer of weapons from Iran to Sudan, from where the weapons are moved into Egypt before being smuggled into Gaza. Because Egypt's government remains in a state of flux, weapons smugglers are finding it easier to move contraband from Egypt into the Palestinian territories.
So, if a Democrat can't run on his record and his presidency was therefore unsuccessful, he then turns in desperation to the last Democrat president whose presidency was successful -- in this case, Clinton. This does not bother me personally; in fact, it amuses me more than anything else. What bothers me is the stubborn perception of Bill Clinton as having been a great president.
Definition: King's Calendar Chronological Research
The Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, with listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed.
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix 5. to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]
About the KingsCalendar Publisher
R.P.BenDedek is the owner and Editor of KingsCalendar.com which was originally set up to publicize his research results into the Chronology of Ancient Israel. Those results were published under the title: 'The King's Calendar: The Secret of Qumran'.
Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
Free to air Academic articles set forth Apologetics for and results of his discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Bible, Josephus, the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
During the current economic downturn, this book has been drastically reduced in price but will eventually rise as the economy improves.
