The War on Upward Mobility
It's nearly one year into Barack Obama's presidency and we have experienced changes that were unimaginable for the prior 233 years in the United States of America. We have watched the government take over car companies, banks, mortgage companies and even hint at oil and gas being nationalized.
The startling moment for me was the idea to de-construct Obama and bore it down to the barest roots of his ideology and what it really means to the average person in America...it is an all-out onslaught on upward mobility.
Obama's radical Communist agenda manifests itself in the simple fact that via his policies and laws, it will be nearly impossible to improve oneself, save being a bureaucrat.
If you analyze what the true America Dream is, it's the ability to not have a ceiling. There is no caste system nor royalty to impede your progress at whatever you do. The American Dream is George Washington and George Foreman; Bill Gates and Howard Hughes; Sam Walton and Sam Zell; Tiger Woods and Jennifer Aniston. America is an idea, an idea that our Founders gave us as a framework to lot let government in and intrude; to keep out of people's lives, let capitalism move us forward and allow the extra harvest be given back to the needy by individuals or religious groups, not a publicly-funded trough the Government lays out for enslaving dependence.
Every Obama policy moves us toward the inability for the pipe fitter's son to be a lawyer or the seamstresses daugther becoming a CEO. The Statist Obama and his Liberal minions via Health care, Cap and Trade, UN treaties, illegal amnesty, rolling back the Bush tax cuts, promoting unions and more and more litigation and regulation make it difficult to succeed. This is not an accident, it is his plan.
How many times have you known a plumber who hires another plumber, gets his business going and moves his family from Brooklyn up to Westchester? How many loan processors eventually become salespeople and surpass everyone in their office. How about a professional athlete who moves from poverty to a plush lifestyle seen on MTV?
Tyranny is at our gate, and it really won't mean we will all die (although H1N1/Rahm Emanuel's "never let a crisis go to waste" bring up some fear) but the Leftist agenda will not allow that guy to ever expand his business nor move himself up and out of his family's legacy.
We are a nation of bootstrappers, not carbon credit counters and socialized medicine recipients. We are Alexander Graham Bell and Oprah Winfrey, we are Starbucks, we are Michael Jordan and Jeff Gordon. England is a prime example of when Liberalism goes wild and effectively kills any upward mobility, in fact, 7% of the UK's tax base is dedicated to carbon offsets.
We need to move against Obama, the Democrats and the RINO's who want us poor and dependent, with no chance of ever being the Jeffersons.

NBC the Tolerance Spin Network
I was watching the silicone-topped Las Vegas show of fluff when Law and Order came on, showing two Anglos killing an Arab, calling it a hate crime in masks and camoflage. Here is the synopsis:
FEAR AMERICA 10pm 2007-01-19
MIDDLE EASTERN MAN IS KILLED IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HATE CRIME - RICHARD BROOKS GUEST STARS - A young Middle Eastern man is killed on camera in what appears to be a hate crime. Detectives Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Nina Cassady (Milena Govich) quickly learn that prior to the murder the victim had made a frantic 911 call to the Joint Terrorist Task Force and Detective Henry Paulsen (guest star John Viscardi), who joins in the investigation. Once the suspect, Ben Faoud (guest star Bernardo Pena) is apprehended, A.D.A.s Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) succeed in convincing the F.B.I. that the suspect should be tried for murder. Faoud then hires high-power defense attorney Paul Robinette (returning guest star Richard Brooks), who demands the case be thrown out. S. Epatha Merkerson and Fred Dalton Thompson also star.
This crime is exactly what the Muslims did to the US soldiers and contractors, never happening to Muslims. NBC is part of the mind-twist of wrong is right, right is wrong media frenzy of the NWO.

Mexico Moves to Protect Illegal Immigrants
Mexico moves to protect illegal immigrants
Mexicans planning to cross the border into the United States will be issued with satellite tracking devices by their Government to make sure they arrive safely.
It is estimated more than 1 million people cross the border illegally into the US each year.
How many of them die in the dangerous four-day trip across the desert is not known but it is believed to be in the hundreds.
Now, those who get lost or fall behind will activate a hand-held satellite device, alerting frontier police on either side of the border.
Mexican authorities expect to hand out about 200,000 devices in the coming year.
It is the latest development in an issue currently straining US-Mexican relations.
In October, US President George W Bush signed off on legislation to fence about a third of the border, a move that was condemned by Mexico.

Schwarzenegger eyes health coverage for Calif. kids
By Lisa Baertlein
Fri Jan 5, 8:15 AM ET
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to propose extending health care to the 10 percent of California children who are uninsured, even if they are in the state illegally, and to require employers to bolster adult coverage, health advocates said on Thursday.
"Everything we're hearing is that the governor will propose health care coverage for all kids," said Jim Keddy, executive director of PICO California Project, one of many groups advocating health coverage for children.
A Schwarzenegger spokeswoman declined to provide details. "Nothing is final at this point. Everything is on the table," she said.
There were 763,000 uninsured children in California in 2005, according to the California Health Interview Survey.
Of those, about 400,000 are ineligible for public health programs because they are undocumented or their families exceed maximum income limits. About 6.5 million Californians, or one in five residents, are uninsured.
In 2005, California's Republican governor vetoed legislation that would have expanded coverage to every child in the state, saying lawmakers had not provided a way to fund it.
Last year, Schwarzenegger and Democratic lawmakers supported a budget bill that would have earmarked money for such efforts, but they were forced to remove the provision after Republicans balked over funding the health care of illegal immigrant children.
Schwarzenegger is set to unveil the major objectives of his second term in a series of speeches in coming days.
He speaks at his inauguration on Friday, details his health care ideas on Monday, gives his annual state-of-the-state address on Tuesday and unveils his new fiscal year budget proposal on Wednesday.
About 90 percent of the state's children are now covered, and children's health coverage is inexpensive compared to adult coverage. The federal government also kicks in a substantial portion of funding for state-run health programs for children.
A handful of states, including Illinois, Maine and New Jersey, cover all children through state programs. On Thursday, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he plans to propose a budget that would guarantee all of New York's 500,000 uninsured children access to health insurance.
Dr. Bob Ross, chief executive of the California Endowment, predicted states like California, New York and Illinois "will help frame the debate for the nation."
The cost of providing health coverage to all California children has been estimated at around $400 million a year.
"It has huge public support and there's very little controversy around it," said Keddy.
Schwarzenegger, a former action film star nursing a broken leg from a holiday skiing accident, is also expected to announce a plan to cover more of the state's uninsured by requiring employers to help pay for insurance. Some estimates put the cost of such a program at $10 billion a year.
Ruth Liu, associate secretary of health care policy development for California's Health and Human Services Agency, told Reuters Schwarzenegger's health-care reform plan would require all employers to give workers the choice of making pre-tax health insurance contributions.
Like Prop. 187 in 1994 being voted on by millions on Californians and ultimately overturned by a Liberal 9th Circuit judge, Mariana Pfaelzer, and not pursued by the ousted Governor Gray Davis.
Arnold is attempting to give illegals health care at the expense of citizens. He is just another Liberal in Republican clothing.
