Obama II: What will the next four years hold?
The National Mall at sunrise, photo courtesy of blog poster Brosephus
Barack Obama was officially if informally sworn into office for the second time Sunday, but the formal, public ceremony is taking place today, on a bright, cold Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with Obama taking the oath on bibles owned by King and President Abraham Lincoln.
We’ll be live-blogging the rest of the ceremony ….
11:38 — A nicely done, dignified prayer by civil rights leader Myrlie-Evers Williams, a woman who has seen a lot.
11:41: With Sen. Schumer of New York as inaugural planner, it’s understandable that a Brooklyn choir is doing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” But really, a southern choir would have done it righteously.
11:47 Taking his oath, Biden’s just repeating what Sotomayor is saying. Didn’t he get in trouble for that once?
11:51: Obama takes oath, with one small stumble certain to cause comment among a few. The Capitol looks resplendent.
11:58: A call from Obama to the necessity of joint, unified action. “My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it if we seize it together.”
12:03 “Social Security, Medicare … do not make us a nation of takers”
12:04: A call to action on climate change. The first real news of the day, committing to a second-term goal.
12:08: A strong embrace of gay rights, equal respect, immigration reform … a broadening of the American family.
12:10: “We cannot mistake absolutism for principle.” I suspect that was directed to some Dems as well as Republicans.
12:12: A relatively brief address by the president, with talk of national unity and purpose interspersed with indirect if sharp reminders of issues that divide us.
12:20: A rather prosaic effort by poet Richard Blanco.
12:31: But a stirring version of the Star Spangled Banner by the lovely and talented Beyonce to close the ceremony.

Black powder was used in the original bullets of the M16 because we had so much of it and McNamara wanted to keep the costs down.
The 7.63 is the caliber of the AK-47; it was done to insure that they could use our 7.62 but we could not use their 7.63.

OBAMA’S PLAYBOOK:
These nine rules were seized in a raid in Dusseldorf Germany, in 1919. The files were marked, “Communist Rules for Revolution”.
Read the Communist Goals below. If you have information, have an opinion on this, or can link to a new story that backs up the goals please respond in the Comments and Remarks area.
1) Corrupt the young: get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
(Tune into MTV)
2) Get control of all means of publicity. Get peoples’ minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.
3) Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
(Democrats are experts at class warfare and race baiting.)
4) Destroy the peoples’ faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances)
5) Always preach;true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
6) By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent.
7) Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders.
9) Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.
(What political party is constantly trying to bring about more gun laws ontop of gun laws?)
Are you starting to get it now?

Glenn Beck Transcript.
On October 13, 2008, President of Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff appeared on the Glenn Beck Show. Their most troubling exchange follows:
SCHIFF: “You know, what`s going to happen, of course, is as inflation starts running out of control and prices start going through the roof, the government again is going to focus on the symptoms and not the disease.And they are going to impose price controls on energy, on food, on a lot of other things that are vital, which means shortages, which means long lines, black markets, civil unrest. All this stuff is coming if we don`t stop. [...]
BECK: Peter, let`s talk a little bit about martial law. Why would that even be a consideration?
SCHIFF: Well, I don`t think it was a threat if they had rejected the bailout Bill, but I think it is a possibility a few years down the line. We just spoke a little bit about price controls and the effect that they are going to have.
If we have shortages of food, if we have rolling blackouts. And people are upset, and they are hungry, and they are cold, there could be civil unrest. There could be looting, rioting, and that might be the impetus for the government to declare martial law.
BECK: You know, I don`t think you`re a couple of years away from something like that. I mean, honestly, Peter, I mean, look at what`s happening. In a half hour, I`ve got a congressman on about — about the racism cries. I mean, there are people that are right now so disenfranchised, and I think being encouraged to be disenfranchised on both sides, that at any time this damn thing could break apart.
SCHIFF: Yes. And we`re giving the government so much power. And you know, you give up a lot more civil liberties. When you have martial law and you`ve got the military policing our streets, when you`ve got suspension of habeas corpus, you`ve got curfews, you can`t be out of your house after dark, and they can just pick you up and put you in prison and keep you there indefinitely without charges, and there`s nothing you can do about it?
I mean, we`re giving up one liberty after another, all to protect ourselves from this economic crisis, which needs to happen anyway, but it doesn`t need to be nearly this bad.
BECK: Peter, this is — I mean, we`re in Crazytown, USA. But my gut tells me that, two years down the road — let`s just use that number — this country is not going to look anything like it does today. Our world has changed; it just hasn`t caught up.”
On October 17, 2006, President Bush signed into law, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act. The new law allows the President to declare a “public emergency” at his own discretion, and place federal troops anywhere throughout the United States. Under this law, the President also now has the authority to federalize National Guard troops without the consent of Governors, in order to restore “public order.” The President can now deploy federal troops to U.S. cities, at will, which eliminates the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. In short, President Obama can now declare Martial Law anytime he pleases.
An Excerpt from the John Warner Defense Authorization Act follows:
“Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies.” Section 333, “Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law” states that “the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of (”refuse” or “fail” in) maintaining public order, “in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy.”
On October 1, 2008 the U.S. Army´s 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division began their stateside mission under U.S. Northern Command. It was the first time that an active duty Army unit has been assigned this type of mission. They are known as the CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force. They are responsible for responding to terrorist attacks, and restoring order in case of civil unrest.
Among supposed humanitarian duties, their specific job is to provide crowd and traffic control, and to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
In addition to their standard weapons, the 1st Brigade has been equipped with mobile road blocks, spike strips for stopping vehicles, shields and batons, beanbag bullets, and taser guns.
In September 2008, Col. Roger Cloutier told the Army Times: “It´s a new modular package of non-lethal capabilities that they´re fielding. They´ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we´re undertaking we were the first to get it.”
The soldiers of the Third Infantry Divison are battle-hardened combat veterans and have done three tours of duty in Iraq, they hardly seem suited to “crowd control” duties.
Ordinarily, such use of the military on U.S. soil would violate the law. However, with Bush´s order to suspend Posse Comitatus, the military is now free to patrol the streets of our cities and arrest American citizens.
Actually, the use of federal troops has already begun in this country. On December 10, 2008, the California Highway Patrol announced that they along with local law enforcement, and U.S. Marines to staff sobriety checkpoints. That’s right, Marines are conducting vehicle stops on U.S. soil.
The following is a press release from the CHP:
“The Morongo office of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in conjunction with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department and the USMC military police will conduct a joint sobriety/driver license checkpoint on Friday, December 12, 2008, somewhere in the unincorporated/incorporated area of San Bernardino County.”
Last Fall, the Congress approved the $850 billion bailout of Wall Street, but not before the public overwhelmingly objected, which prompted the House of Representatives to initially reject the bill. Despite our objections, many Congressmen who only days earlier were adamantly opposed to any such measure, returned and voted to approve the bailout and even added $150 billion to the original bill. Why would lawmakers only a month away from an election make such a vastly unpopular move?
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) seems to have answered this question, though the press has largely ignored the stunning information he divulged.
Congressman Sherman on the House floor told his colleagues and the C-SPAN cameras alike: “Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple thousand points the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no.”
Additionally, a very troubling report came out in August 2007, when KSLA-12 in Shreveport, Louisiana reported that members of the clergy have been enrolled in a federal education program, which teaches them how to “quell dissent” amongst their congregations. So-called Clergy Response Teams are being trained by FEMA to convince people to follow government orders, in the event of martial law.
The evidence that we the people, are at risk of being placed under martial law, and losing all of our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution is overwhelming.
Thirty years ago, we enjoyed the benefits of a press which took their responsibility to the public very seriously. Any signs pointing to the implementation of martial law and criminal actions committed by the federal government would have drawn the attention of our journalists.
However, in the age of “imbedded reporters,” and 90-minute network infomercials complete with anchors promoting government healthcare, our press has a much-too cozy relationship with those in government. A complicit press is making it very easy for our government to erode civil liberties.

Mnay good comments on here from fellow conservatives. Liberal thought and policies benefit only the gov’t controllers.
Now to another point, back to page 1. Liberals somehow see abortion as a constitutional right even though abortion, or birthing babies is never mentioned in the constitution. Meanwhile, says in black and white, “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. Seems clear to me which one of these rights is clearly enumerated in the constitution.
A womans most important duty on this earth is to protect her OWN child. What a sickness to kill your unborn child purely as a choice. I know liberals don’t want to hear this, as facing the consequences of murdering your own child is upsetting. Nothing shows how evil liberals are more than their THRILL and MASSIVE support for baby killing!

“But where is abortion mentioned in the constitution?”
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”
And especially: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people”

mvt – as Hamilton said, he didn’t want to enumerate the things covered in the constitution because of numpties like you – “it’s not mentioned in the Constitution, so it’s not covered”

Heh, heh, I knew when I posted that, it would be a rage.
Fact remains that a woman owns her body, not the government. You really want to stop abortion, then understand that we are a sexual people, just the way God made us, so make contraception available for all…then watch abortion rates fall.

“freedom reserved for the lucky… happiness for the few” So now we have the obligation to get these liberal takers happy? Can’t be done. Nothing is unhappy as a liberal, jealousy is their motivation. I, as a conservative, are responsible for my own happiness, not the gov’ts job to make me happy. You liberals are free to make yourselves happy, but under normal circumstances this would require work and effort, something liberal attitiudes will not allow. YOU, YOU, YOU are responsible (financially and otherwise) for your happiness

he promises more of the same – more joblessness, more wasted money on “green” initiiatives as he pursues the lie of global warming.
more of the same. Obama brings nothing but hopelessness and despair. The country is in a depression because of this imbecilic re-tard named barack.

Liberals somehow see abortion as a constitutional right
Have you even read Roe v Wade?

How is conrtaception not available to all? Damn, Liberals need someone else to pay for EVERYTHING. And Doggone, that only applies to abortion!? If you make too much money as defined by liberal politicians, we have the right to take your money and give to worthless takers!
Selective application of constitution, a liberal specialty.

Pursuit of Happiness….
Now where have I heard those words before that were mentioned by the President? Hmmmm…….. What I did not hear was “the gov’t is gonna make you happy”. Maybe it was in the same imaginary speech that the cons hear about “we’re coming for your guns” and “Socialism rocks!”

makers vs takers: All YOU “make” is hate and posts filled with jealously and rage because you LOST and your ideas are loser ideas. You have to blame your miserable life and failings on someone so in your hate filled mind you create this sub-set of “sub humans” that you call losers. It helps you feel good about what a loser in life you really are to blame someone else. It gets you a target to focus your rage and self loathing on.
You should seek help.

I am one of the lucky ones (conservative) that has freedom and happiness available to me right now. You see, I earned it. I don’t need a politician to take from others to secure my happiness. God gave me the ability to be happy and free. Roe v Wade is a court decision, not written into constitution as the right to keep and bear arms. And we makers got plenty of arms to bear. I know libs hate that.

About that decision from 40 years ago:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323301104578255831504582200.html
Seven in 10 Americans believe Roe v. Wade should stand, according to new data from a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, as the landmark Supreme Court abortion-rights ruling turns 40 on Tuesday.
That is the highest level of support for the decision, which established a woman’s right to an abortion, since polls began tracking it in 1989. The shift is mostly the result of more Democrats backing the decision—particularly Hispanics and African-Americans—and a slight uptick in support from Republicans.
