Is it time for gun control?
By Matthew Llewellyn, Founder
America's Conservative Movement
My personal blog
Folks, I'm beginning to wonder if it's time for a little gun control as a desperate attempt to stop these senseless gun related deaths.
Just this last week here in Tulsa, OK a 6 year old boy with down syndrome accidentally shot and killed himself with a .22 caliber revolver. Before I move forward I want to say, I am sorry for this families loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Moving on.
Further into the investigations surrounding the events Tulsa Police have discovered that the gun was stolen during a home burglary the preceding Monday.
Folks... I hate to say this... but gun control might have stopped this senseless death.
But... before I really and truly say that, let's examine something else for a moment. Let's see if there is possibly anything else going on in the world right now, where gun control is already present, that would support gun control as a way to end senseless deaths.
Well, lookie here... there is. In Belgium today, where guns are strictly prohibited and under no circumstances can a citizen have one, a man armed with a knife walked into a day care and stabbed 13 people, killing 3, 2 of them being small children.
But how can this be? I don't understand. This just doesn't make sense. In Belgium there are no gun rights therefore there should be no crime and no murders, accidental deaths, etc. But here it is, bright as day. I'm reading it right now. "Knife attack kills 3 at nursery"
I think I know what is needed here folks.
We need some knife control in Belgium, and probably here in America too. I mean my God... I just started thinking about this and I am honestly terrified. Think about this for a minute.
Right now... at this very moment... whether it's a dollar store, a walmart or an expensive home decor outlet, millions and millions of deadly knives are for sale for less than $10.00. What's more, anyone can buy them! It doesn't matter if you are 8 or 80, if you have the couple dollars to fork over to a careless cashier at the local grocery store, you've got yourself an instrument of destruction and death.
Think for a minute how many people you know who have been accidentally injured by knives. I am willing to bet you have injured yourself at least 3 or more times in the past 10 years while carelessly using this device of death.
I just thought about this... right now, there are knives in every single government indoctrination center (public school) in the country! Jesus Christ! How absolutely irresponsible are we!? We have placed deadly weapons into the hands of children without ever giving it a second though. My God! Perhaps we are the ones who belong in prison.
Obviously, with knives so readily available, it's only a matter of time before you or a family member accidentally injure or kill yourself. Not to mention; What's going to happen when one of these manic depressive students abused by the system realizes they have the power to use this knife which just so happens to be handed to him by the local lunch lady?... People are going to die. That's something to think about. Think about that head line "Tax payer negligence leads to lunch room murder."
We have to stop the sale, distribution and ownership of knives world wide and we have to do it now folks!
We need "no tolerance knife control." Perhaps we need a knife buy-back program, or perhaps instead of car washes this year we get the Hooter's girls involved with a new "spanks for shanks" program.
I don't know what for sure, but we've got to do something. In Belgium, completely removing guns from the picture didn't stop anything.
Okay... now that I'm done pretending I'm a liberal let me be the brilliant and true conservative that I am.
We have gun control in America. It has never stopped a single gun related death. Legal gun owners do not kill people without cause, it just doesn't happen. If a law abiding citizen discharges their firearm you can be assured it was in defense of life, be it their life or another.
Belgium, and other places with no tolerance gun control still have gun related violence. How is that possible? Because criminals don't respect or follow the law. They are going to get a gun one way or the other, no matter where in the world they happen to be. What's the difference in America? The criminals stand a little less chance of survival since the citizens have the ability to protect themselves.
Do you think knife control would have stopped this lunatic from walking into that nursery and killing people? Of course not. That is as absurd as saying gun control would stop someone from walking in there with a gun. Let's imagine, for just a moment, that he couldn't get a knife. What would he use then? A baseball bat, barbell, 2x4 or a chainsaw? Or maybe he would go Hollywood and use a really sharp and sinister looking axe?
Folks... any type of weapon control is never going to stop violence, or murder. I am the first to say, if gun control would truly stop all murder and violence, I would turn over my guns in a heart beat. But it won't folks. Criminals don't obey those laws and they never will. That is one of the reasons the 2nd Amendment was put into place. Our founding fathers, among other things, wanted to assure our ability to protect our lives and property against any and all threats.
As it stands now, in America, law abiding citizens still, if they decide to, have the upper hand over criminals. You can purchase a firearm, obtain a concealed weapons permit and carry your firearm with you just about anywhere you go. You can also, without needing a license, purchase a firearm and keep it in your home to protect yourself, family and property. Will I ever have to kill someone? Probably not, and I pray not. Will most legal gun owners ever have to kill someone? Odds are very much against it ever happening, and I assure you they also pray they will never have the need to do so.
But... so long as a threat exist, we make sure we are ready to respond to that threat with whatever force is necessary. This may come as a surprise to you, but I am not anticipating nor do I expect my home to ever catch on fire. It could happen, but, statistically, it's very unlikely I would wind up in that smaller statistic. Regardless, I still keep a fire extinguisher in my home... and it, like my gun, is also loaded and ready to go.
As you know, President Obama, who swore to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, has already said he intends to establish no tolerance gun control laws within his term. Even though doing so is, by definition, a tyrannical act against the people by it's government.
I leave you with a quote from one of our founding fathers, the Honorable Thomas Jefferson; "The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
I bid you good day.

Understanding Oil & Gas Economics
Kaiser Proposes Legislation; Bad News For Taxpayers
By Matthew Llewellyn, Founder
USA Conservative Movement
My personal blog
Before we even begin this story I want to explain some very simplified economics.
Imagine you own a small business. As an employer, you have overheard costs. You have to pay your rent, utilities, employees and of course for your merchandise. As time goes on you learn how to balance everything out so that you make a profit, or at the very least break even.
Let's imagine that as part of an incentive to get you to continue selling widgets, you are offered a tax break at the end of each quarter/fiscal year for each widget you buy. So what do you do? You buy some more widgets. It's a popular item, it's just expensive which is why you considered discontinuing it.
You get used to the price of it with the tax incentives offered and you balance everything out so your numbers break even and you are not in debt. Then the tax incentive disappears. Your company has become known for these widgets and you can't just stop selling them. If you did, your company would close. So what do you do? This is going to cost more money out of your pocket now. Something has to be done. But what?
Do you pass the costs along to your customer (the consumer)?
Do you pass it along to your employees by cutting benefits and freezing salaries?
Do you pass it along to the economy by starting a hiring freeze?
Do you pass it on to the employees by laying some of them off?
What do you do?
The truthful answer is this... you do all of them. When you run a business you can't play it small and hope for effective results. When you are faced with potential losses you act swiftly and largely to effect the most positive results.
The consumer will now pay more for the product. Some employees will lose their jobs, sending them to the unemployment line. Some will not be able to get jobs where they were once available, thus keeping them in the unemployment line. Employees will lose benefits, and possibly suffer from salary cuts, sending them to the government assistance lines.
Just to think... all that occurs from a little tax incentive being taken away. Now... let's multiply this into the billions.
If you live in Oklahoma you know who George Kaiser is. He is a philanthropist and a very successful entrepreneur. He is the chairman of BOK Financial Corporation and the controlling share-holder of Kaiser-Francis Oil Company, which is based in Tulsa, OK.
Mr. Kaiser has met with law makers, and, out of the kindness of his heart, having only the best interests of the tax payers in mind, has proposed a tax incentive currently in place for oil companies not be renewed.
Kaiser told the Oklahoma State House Appropriations & Budget Committee that the tax-payer is in much more need of a tax break than the oil & gas industry. Wow! What a man he is folks. Knowing this will effect his own oil company, this man, out of the kindness of his heart, and out of his concern for the tax-payers, wants to eliminate the oil and gas tax incentives. What a saint folks... or wait... is he?
Let's explain the "logic" of how this is supposed to work. More money is needed here and there and there and there, etc. Someone has to pay for it. With everything in place as it stands, the tax-payers may end up paying a few more dollars to cover everything. But, if the tax incentives are removed from oil & gas companies then the State can take the money from them and thus, rescue the tax payer. Kaiser & the sitting democrats will look like heroes folks. Just a thought here... who wants to bet that Kaiser will be making an announcement for office in the near future?
In the 2007 fiscal year, according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, the rebates (which is the form of these incentives) totaled about $27 million dollars.
It seems like the modern day democrat/liberal mumbo jumbo doesn't it? Give the little guy a break and make those big, greedy oil companies pay their share. It's rather noble really. Robin Hood; Steal from the rich, give to the poor.
Folks... you can not trust democrats/liberals. There is always another card up their sleeve and as soon as they get you to look away, they'll play it.
Remember your course in economics from above? Good. Let's see what's really going to happen.
Bob Sullivan, of Sullivan and Co., has already expressed his concern about losing the incentive. He said it played a huge role in his company. Although Sullivan never used the incentive to make his decision for drilling (such as horizontal drilling, which is part of the incentive), he did use it to pay salaries or to pay for the drilling itself. (Are you still remembering the economics lesson? Good.)
So let's say the democrats get their way and this incentive goes away. What are these oil and gas companies going to do? Just like small business, they are going to have to make some changes. The executives will be faced with the same questions a small business would be. Do we raise prices? Do we lay off employees? Cut salaries? Freeze salaries? Get rid of benefits?
Guess what folks, in order to keep the business alive, they'll do whatever it's going to take. So what does that mean to you, the consumer... the tax payer who is supposed to be helped by this?
First and foremost, gas prices are going back up folks. When you take money away from another place, you have to get it from another. The company will pass the price onto us first folks. Contrary to what you may believe, they don't want to raise prices. The more it cost the less you buy, the less it cost, the more you buy. Nevertheless, they will increase the gas price. That's more money coming out of your pocket. (Wasn't this supposed to put more money in your pocket?)
As gas prices go up you will purchase less, and the oil and gas companies know this, and they will react to it before it even happens. Why? They know it's coming, they'll be prepared. As Bob Sullivan noted, they used money for among other things, paying employees. No more money = no more employees. Where does that send them? Unemployment line folks. Where else? Welfare line. Who pays for the welfare lines? We do. Where does the money come from? Our taxes. What happens when more people apply but only so much money is available? Democrats rush to the rescue. Legislation is rapidly pushed through to provide the money and guess what, you'll pay more taxes. Where do those come from? Right out of your pocket. (Wasn't this supposed to put more money in your pocket?)
If they think it will be necessary, they'll cut benefits. What does that mean? More visits to the emergency room. Why? No insurance. Everyone knows if you can't afford a doctor you go to the emergency room where you won't have to pay. Guess whose taxes are going to pay for that in the long run. That's right, and those are coming out of your pocket too. (Wasn't this supposed to put more money in your pocket?)
Don't forget now, this isn't just one company being hurt by this. Every single oil and gas company in this state will be doing the same things. Laying off employees, ordering hiring freezes, cutting salaries, getting rid of benefits, and let's not forget, raises their prices.
Incidentally... if you look at the really big picture, it gets even worse. Oil for your car goes up as well. What does that mean? Local ma' 'n' pa' oil changing businesses are going to pass that cost along to you. When they get to the point they can no longer afford to compete with bigger companies this will entirely put them out of business. Say good bye to a lot of small businesses, and a whole lot of jobs. I wonder where those people will all end up. Unemployment and welfare line perhaps? Sadly, the economy is already headed towards hiring freezes so don't expect these workers to be getting jobs anytime soon.
Who do you think is going to have to support all these employees who can't find work? That's right... the democrats will rush in, raise taxes, and you, again, will pay the price. (Wasn't this supposed to put more money in your pocket?)
When you look at this stuff folks you have to sit back and really take in the BIG picture. It's like the old saying, "if you kill a butterfly in the past it will dramatically change the entire future." When you play with taxes in the present, it will dramatically change the future. Once something is in motion changes WILL occur.
Of course this is the time of change. President Obama has promised change and keeping in line with it democrats around the country are following suit. Personally, I want to send an email telling them the same thing I do a Sonic car-hop, "keep the change."
Write your State Representatives and tell them you don't want this. Let your voice be heard folks. The only way to stop it is by doing something. If you say nothing, those are the results you will get every single time.
I bid you good day.

Home School: My letter to Senator Adelson, OK Senate District 33
As you folks can imagine, I try to keep myself in close contact with my Senators and Representatives. Recently, I discovered two Senate Bills which, if passed, would violate the privacy of home schooling parents/children. Both bills are borderline in violation of The U.S. Constitution, article IV section IV and the IV Amendment. The following is my letter to State Senator Tom Adelson, (D) Dist. 33, Oklahoma.
If you live in Oklahoma, and in district 33, and want to stop these bills, contact Senator Aderson. If you are in Oklahoma but unsure of your district, go here and find out who you need to contact.
Senator Adelson,
I am writing you today concerning S.B. 472 & 308. As I am sure you are aware, these bills violate the very principles brought forth by the founders of our Republic. Government schools themselves violate these same principles, but that is an issue for another time.
I am highly concerned that law-makers are seriously considering a bill... correction... bills, which would violate the sanctity of individualism & individual liberty, and thus, freedom. The very land we live on we do so at the high price of a soldier's blood. I find it sad that law-makers would want to work against the very liberty that blood was shed for.
The right of a parent to decide their child's future, and how it shall be handled is not only a God given responsibility, but it is a natural right of man. When we framed this great Republic (let's call it what it is, it's a republic, not a democracy, although it's becoming the latter) we founded it on the idea that government does not interfere with the private lives of its citizens.
I understand Oklahoma has it's own Constitution, but no Constitution is so great as to become stronger or more important than that of our nations. If you will allow me to quote that wonderful charter of freedom:
Article IV...
Section IV - Republican government (notice that "republic" thing)
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
... end quote.
Sir... no where in our founders minds was there ever an intention of government regulation of citizens private affairs. The job of our government, both federal and state, is to protect us from foreign and domestic threat. It never was, nor should it have ever become the duty of them to protect us against ourselves.
Who is the government to decide what is best for an individual? It is the individual who decides what is best for themselves, not the government. Furthermore, it is the individual who, in a Republic, decides what is best not only for themselves, but for their government as well.
There are not homeschooling parents all over the state sitting their children in front of TV's. Why? Because these are not homeschoolers, they are drop-outs. I have met numerous home schooled children and I would be confident placing a 13 year old against a high school senior any day of the week. The level of professionalism and dedication displayed by these parents is far superior to that of the Oklahoma government school system.
I'm sorry, but in a State where children being educated in government schools have the lowest achievement/success rate in the nation, I hardly believe it is the right of the State's law-makers to say they know what is best when it comes to education.
I say, and urge you sir, vote NO on both of these bills. If you value liberty, freedom and the individual, you will not help pass these bills. I urge you to speak with your fellow Senators and express the concern of your Constituents. The article about this is on TulsaWorld.com today and so far has over 63 comments from readers. (Whereas most stories average 1-5 comments, at best 8-9.)
What is the general consensus of the readers/commenter's? Pro-home school rights AND the lousy and poor education in Oklahoma's government schools.
The State has no right telling parents how they can and can not raise their children, and what they will and will not be taught.
If the State suspects a child has become a drop-out and is receiving no education I still do not believe the State has a right to act. It is that parent's right, and duty as an American, to decide their child's upbringing, not the State's.
If the State wants to truly decrease the rate of drop outs then I would like to make the following recommendations:
1) Strip the teachers unions of their power. There are far too many teachers who are allowed to continue teaching, despite pathetic results, because of the unions. They wouldn't get away with turning zero positive results anywhere else, why should they be getting away with it with our schools?
2) Increase the standards of education. We have lowered the standard of education far too many times. We now have seniors graduating who can not spell "graduation." That, to me, seems to suggest a problem.
3) Make Oklahoma a shining example to the nation. Bring back corporal punishment. There is nothing wrong with a child receiving discipline. It is not abuse, it, in itself, by it's very nature, is education.
4) Create a voucher system. Allow capitalism to do what it does best. By this system, investors could build their own schools. They would compete to receive the students and thus the vouchers by offering the best education, the best teachers and the safest environment for the students. We already know capitalism works... it is literally what made this nation what it is. Why all of a sudden are we thinking that it isn't the answer? Likewise with parents choosing what school to send their child too, allow home-schooling parents to keep their voucher and use it to educate their children.
People talk about disgraceful and sad. I'll tell you what is disgraceful and sad and at the same time impressive and proud. Even after all the tax increases, the lottery, and every other amount of money Oklahoma has thrown at its government schools, it's still turning out the lowest results in the nation. Yet somehow home schooling parents are able, with limited resources, to educate their children and still turn out better results than the State education system could ever come close to. Imagine what those parents could do if we had a voucher system where they would have thousands of dollars more to work with.
Getting back to the S.B. S.B. 308 gives truancy officials and local police the authority to question and detain children if they believe they are not receiving an appropriate education. Sir, who decides what this appropriate education is? It obviously can't be the State. Why? (again) We have the lowest results in the nation so obviously what the State has deemed appropriate is not even a valid system.
S.B. 472 requires parents to register with local government schools and provide progress updates. Why? What business is it of theirs. Better idea... from now on, when ever I get bored, I, as a tax-paying lawful citizen, have the right to walk into any classroom and evaluate the educator. If they are not performing at the level I and other tax-payers feel is appropriate, then we have the authority to fire them on the spot.
Both S.B.'s are violations of human rights by law of nature. They are violations of liberty and freedom. They compromise the individual itself. And, as noted, they violate the U.S. Constitution itself.
1) They are not the duty of the government to begin with.
2) The 4Th Amendment. I am sure you are familiar with it, but just in case you're not.
"Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
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 no Warrants, shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
As I am sure you know sir, this comes down to "intrusion upon seclusion", which is the principle behind the 4Th Amendment. Not today, not yesterday, not even a decade ago. Over 200 years ago, the framers of our great nation realized the importance of the private rights of its citizens, and their expectation of privacy in that private life.
When you write a law which allows truancy officials or law enforcement to investigate home schools, you are making an unconstitutional law allowing government officials to enter a residence, violate the Constitutionally guaranteed right of privacy, and take actions against the right of the individual.
Some might argue that a warrant could be obtained naming what is to be searched for, where at, and who will be searched/interviewed. I'm sorry, but again, that law would be unconstitutional. Referring back to the U.S. Constitution article IV section IV, the ONLY duties the government has are too protect us from foreign and domestic threats... i.e., war, crimes of moral turpitude, robbery, burglary, vandalism, etc. I hardly believe a home schooler qualifies as a domestic threat... that's kind of stretching it a little don't you think? Likewise... even if a parent wants to allow their child to drop out... that's not a domestic threat either. It's a bad decision, to this there is no argument. However, it is a decision the parent has a right to make.
I think I have more than made my point and I hope you understand that the only appropriate action for you to take is voting NO to both S.B..
Sincerely,
Matthew Q. Llewellyn, (R) Constituent of Senate Dist 33

The right of a parent to decide their child's future, and how it shall be handled is not only a God given responsibility, but it is a natural right of man. When we framed this great Republic (let's call it what it is, it's a republic, not a democracy, although it's becoming the latter) we founded it on the idea that government does not interfere with the private lives of its citizens.
I understand Oklahoma has it's own Constitution, but no Constitution is so great as to become stronger or more important than that of our nations. If you will allow me to quote that wonderful charter of freedom:
Article IV...
Section IV - Republican government (notice that "republic" thing)
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
... end quote.
Sir... no where in our founders minds was there ever an intention of government regulation of citizens private affairs. The job of our government, both federal and state, is to protect us from foreign and domestic threat. It never was, nor should it have ever become the duty of them to protect us against ourselves.
Who is the government to decide what is best for an individual? It is the individual who decides what is best for themselves, not the government. Furthermore, it is the individual who, in a Republic, decides what is best not only for themselves, but for their government as well.
There are not homeschooling parents all over the state sitting their children in front of TV's. Why? Because these are not homeschoolers, they are drop-outs. I have met numerous home schooled children and I would be confident placing a 13 year old against a high school senior any day of the week. The level of professionalism and dedication displayed by these parents is far superior to that of the Oklahoma government school system.
I'm sorry, but in a State where children being educated in government schools have the lowest achievement/success rate in the nation, I hardly believe it is the right of the State's law-makers to say they know what is best when it comes to education.
I say, and urge you sir, vote NO on both of these bills. If you value liberty, freedom and the individual, you will not help pass these bills. I urge you to speak with your fellow Senators and express the concern of your Constituents. The article about this is on TulsaWorld.com today and so far has over 63 comments from readers. (Whereas most stories average 1-5 comments, at best 8-9.)
What is the general consensus of the readers/commenter's? Pro-home school rights AND the lousy and poor education in Oklahoma's government schools.
The State has no right telling parents how they can and can not raise their children, and what they will and will not be taught.
If the State suspects a child has become a drop-out and is receiving no education I still do not believe the State has a right to act. It is that parent's right, and duty as an American, to decide their child's upbringing, not the State's.
If the State wants to truly decrease the rate of drop outs then I would like to make the following recommendations:
1) Strip the teachers unions of their power. There are far too many teachers who are allowed to continue teaching, despite pathetic results, because of the unions. They wouldn't get away with turning zero positive results anywhere else, why should they be getting away with it with our schools?
2) Increase the standards of education. We have lowered the standard of education far too many times. We now have seniors graduating who can not spell "graduation." That, to me, seems to suggest a problem.
3) Make Oklahoma a shining example to the nation. Bring back corporal punishment. There is nothing wrong with a child receiving discipline. It is not abuse, it, in itself, by it's very nature, is education.
4) Create a voucher system. Allow capitalism to do what it does best. By this system, investors could build their own schools. They would compete to receive the students and thus the vouchers by offering the best education, the best teachers and the safest environment for the students. We already know capitalism works... it is literally what made this nation what it is. Why all of a sudden are we thinking that it isn't the answer? Likewise with parents choosing what school to send their child too, allow home-schooling parents to keep their voucher and use it to educate their children.
People talk about disgraceful and sad. I'll tell you what is disgraceful and sad and at the same time impressive and proud. Even after all the tax increases, the lottery, and every other amount of money Oklahoma has thrown at its government schools, it's still turning out the lowest results in the nation. Yet somehow home schooling parents are able, with limited resources, to educate their children and still turn out better results than the State education system could ever come close to. Imagine what those parents could do if we had a voucher system where they would have thousands of dollars more to work with.
Getting back to the S.B. S.B. 308 gives truancy officials and local police the authority to question and detain children if they believe they are not receiving an appropriate education. Sir, who decides what this appropriate education is? It obviously can't be the State. Why? (again) We have the lowest results in the nation so obviously what the State has deemed appropriate is not even a valid system.
S.B. 472 requires parents to register with local government schools and provide progress updates. Why? What business is it of theirs. Better idea... from now on, when ever I get bored, I, as a tax-paying lawful citizen, have the right to walk into any classroom and evaluate the educator. If they are not performing at the level I and other tax-payers feel is appropriate, then we have the authority to fire them on the spot.
Both S.B.'s are violations of human rights by law of nature. They are violations of liberty and freedom. They compromise the individual itself. And, as noted, they violate the U.S. Constitution itself.
1) They are not the duty of the government to begin with.
2) The 4Th Amendment. I am sure you are familiar with it, but just in case you're not.
"Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
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 no Warrants, shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
As I am sure you know sir, this comes down to "intrusion upon seclusion", which is the principle behind the 4Th Amendment. Not today, not yesterday, not even a decade ago. Over 200 years ago, the framers of our great nation realized the importance of the private rights of its citizens, and their expectation of privacy in that private life.
When you write a law which allows truancy officials or law enforcement to investigate home schools, you are making an unconstitutional law allowing government officials to enter a residence, violate the Constitutionally guaranteed right of privacy, and take actions against the right of the individual.
Some might argue that a warrant could be obtained naming what is to be searched for, where at, and who will be searched/interviewed. I'm sorry, but again, that law would be unconstitutional. Referring back to the U.S. Constitution article IV section IV, the ONLY duties the government has are too protect us from foreign and domestic threats... i.e., war, crimes of moral turpitude, robbery, burglary, vandalism, etc. I hardly believe a home schooler qualifies as a domestic threat... that's kind of stretching it a little don't you think? Likewise... even if a parent wants to allow their child to drop out... that's not a domestic threat either. It's a bad decision, to this there is no argument. However, it is a decision the parent has a right to make.
I think I have more than made my point and I hope you understand that the only appropriate action for you to take is voting NO to both S.B..
Sincerely,
Matthew Q. Llewellyn, (R) Constituent of Senate Dist 33

Fort Dix Six FINALLY convicted!
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

http://insidethemindofmatt.blogspot.com/
Wow... I could not be happier than I am right now. Our judicial system just made my day folks. I literally jumped out of my chair at hearing this news!
Okay... catch you up. For those of you who remember my articles when I wrote Patriot Pride News, you will remember the "Fort Dix Six" attackers who were thwarted in their efforts by good old fashioned detective work about 2 years ago.
These Islamofascist, in early 2007, were arrested before they were able to carry out a plot to MURDER American soldiers on a state side Army base located in New Jersey, about 25 miles from where they stayed in Philadelphia.
C.A.I.R., (the council on American Islamic relations) and other islamofascist groups claimed the men were not really going to do anything. Defense attorneys as well argued that the "boys" were just joking around.
Let's do some analyzing really fast.
They illegally purchased fully automatic weapons.
They asked a local video store employee to transfer to DVD videos of them firing those assault weapons and screaming about Jihad (holy war.)
They traveled and hiked deep into, on a regular basis, the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania where they would practice shooting their weapons.
There were hundreds of hours (not a couple joking hours here and there but hundreds) of audio recorded on the 5 men by undercover agents hired and placed by the FBI. These hundreds of hours including talks of Jihad, they spoke of specific details of how they would enter the base. They even spoke about knowing they would be martars because they knew there was no way they were going to make it off the base alive.
They were recorded intending on time lines to get their affairs in order as they would be killed when they carried out their mission on the base.
They were heard hundreds of times stating "...we will kill as many American soldiers as we can..."
And these men are just joking and playing around?
THEY ARE TERRORIST! They should be in Guantanamo Bay! They need to be interrogated until we get every single piece of information out of them that we need. Then they can go spend the rest of their pathetic lives rotting away in a prison somewhere. Preferably deep within the earth isolated from society and sunlight until they die.
I would like to share with you the names of the terrorists who are probably going to spend the rest of their lives in prison after finally being convicted today on the charges of "Conspiring to kill U.S. military personnel."
May the following pieces of cow excrement rot in hell for all eternity.
Shnewer, a Jordanian-born cab driver;
Turkish-born convenience store clerk Serdar Tatar;
Dritan, Eljvir and Shain Duka, ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, who had a roofing business.
The sixth man was only charged with gun charges and plead guilty long ago. His name was not mentioned and I can not find it in my archives right off hand.
Hey Shnewer, Serdar, Dritan, Eljvir and Shain... I'll have you know your virgins are all fat and ugly.
I bid you good day.

Call 911 (bail out story)
Call 911
By Matthew Llewellyn, Founder
America's Conservative Movement

and my personal blog site
http://insidethemindofmatt.blogspot.com/
Someone, anyone, please, I don't care who, please; CALL 911! (Figuratively.) I think I'm going to have a heart attack and/or a stroke before this is over. I can feel my carotid arteries hardening and my cerebral vasculature disintegrating as we speak.
Who else is following the bail out money? I ... I ... damn ... I mean really. I'm at a loss for words. (And that's a rare occurrence.) I really think I'm just going to go out and start screaming at people. I really do. I'm honestly at the point that I went to hire Black Water to interrogate Wall Street. We need to take these big bank executives who, by the way are STILL flying around in private luxury jets, and put them in a room and let black water use whatever tactics it feels necessary, to get the truth out of these pieces of pond scum as to where our money is at. Do I think anyone should oversee these interrogations to assure no illegal tactics are used? HELL NO I DON'T! If Wall Street doesn't have to give accountability then by God neither do we!
So today I am writing to you concerning an article forwarded to me by a fellow political columnist Amy T. in Michigan. I'm willing to bet she is also having a stroke and/or a heart attack over this; as every American should be!
I've switched things up a little bit. The parts of the story I am taking from the Associated Press will be in "blue", my replies will remain in "black".
I want to explain what is happening here for those of you who haven't been keeping up. Congress forced, very rapidly, a bill to steal 700 billion from our pockets and give it to criminals. Let me be politically correct. Washington saw a hurt and a growing crisis within the economy and felt the only appropriate resolution was to move with lightening speed and provide a financial blanket to Wall Street in order to strengthen the resolve of the U.S. economy.
So far $350,000,000,000 of the stolen funds have been distributed to the various thieves. These include criminals such as, but not limited too; JP Morgan Chase, SunTrust Banks, Inc, Regions Financial, Citibank, Bank of America, Marshall & Ilsley Corp, Bank of New York Mellon, BB&T Corp, Comerica, Inc, US Bancorp & Huntington Bancshares, Inc.
Go ahead you robbing, thieving criminal pieces of stinking, steaming cow excrement, sue me for calling you what you are! I beg you! You ARE thieves, you ARE criminals, and frankly, you ARE pieces of ... moving on. (See, I'm getting better, I censored myself.)
These companies refuse to say where the money is going. They will not give any type of accounting. Check out these statements (thank you to A.P. for obtaining.)
Thomas Kelly, spokesman for JP Morgan Chase: "We've lent some of it. We've not lent some of it. We've not given any accounting of... We have not disclosed that to the public. We're declining to."
Barry Koling, spokesman for Atlanta, Ga.-based SunTrust Banks Inc: "We're not providing dollar-in, dollar-out tracking,"
Tim Deighton, Regions Financial Corp. spokesman: "We manage our capital in its aggregate,"
Kevin Heine, spokesman for Bank of New York Mellon: "We're choosing not to disclose that," Kevin Heine then added to that "I just would prefer if you wouldn't say that we're not going to discuss those details."
The A.P. cornered Carissa Ramirez of Morgan Stanley. She asked to speak under the condition of anonymity, when they refused she replied with ""We are going to decline to comment on your story."
Wendy Walker, a spokeswoman for Dallas-based Comerica Inc: "We're not sharing any other details. We're just not at this time,"
Some of the companies have not yet spent the money, but not those listed. They have been spending the money and refuse to give any type of accountability.
Let's play make believe for a minute. It was so much fun in grade school I just like to keep doing it.
Let's first to the land of reality where you are going to the bank to get a loan. Let's say it goes something like this.
Bank: Hi, how can I help you?
You: I would like $5,000.00 please.
Bank: The purpose for your loan.
You: Go f*** yourself!
Bank: Excuse me?
You: Go f*** yourself. I don't have to tell you how I'm going to spend your money. Now give me the 5 grand a** hole.
Bank: We're calling the police, please leave now.
Okay... now let's go to the land of make believe. I like to call this place ... Congress.
Tax payer: Okay, what can we do for you?
Banks: We want X billion dollars.
Tax payer: Okay, where do you intend to spend this money and how can you assure accountability given the history of your company leading up to now. What is your collateral?
Banks: What? Are you serious. F*** you. We don't have to tell you that.
Tax payer: (90%+ of the citizens) Fine, then we aren't giving you our money. [enter Congress stage left] (get it... left.)
Congress: F*** you tax payer. Hi banks, here's X billion.
Banks: F*** you too Congress, and thanks for the cash. Alright boys let's go! It's time for $450,000 corporate vacations, private luxury jets and Christmas bonus's for us executives.
Ha... I bet the banks thought we alread forgot about that $450,000.00 luxury vacation they took right after receiving their bail out money. That one where a bunch of corporate exec's spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on hotels, massages, etc, right after getting our money.
This is absolutely out of hand. But... I found an agenda here.
I was so proud of the A.P. this morning. This whole time they've been pushing the leftist agenda and fighting for the bail out, emphasizing the urgency and making sure to point out how right-winged law-makers were standing in the way. Then they write this story... they start pointing out how there is not accountability and Wall Street as a whole is acting like criminals. Then I come to this paragraph and discover the real agenda behind the story.
"Pressured by the Bush administration to approve the money quickly, Congress attached nearly no strings on the $700 billion bailout in October. And the Treasury Department, which doles out the money, never asked banks how it would be spent."
And there it is! They could care less what Wall Street is doing with the money. The entire article was a leftist push to further hurt the Bush administration and thus the republican party. They want to make sure the voting public knows who's to blame here. Forget that fact that Bush did push this. They wouldn't talk about that before. They just kept mentioning how his administration is making it too difficult for them to write a real bail out bill. But not now... oh no... now it's completely reversed. If those evil, evil republicans wouldn't have forced us to do this so fast then we wouldn't be getting hosed like this. Democrats, being the responsible party they are, would have haulted the bail out in its tracks until they assured proper accountability was in place. Damn those wascally we-pub-wicans!
I think I'm going to be sick... maybe that's the pizza I left on the counter all night and ate a few minutes ago for lunch. I can't tell.
Alas... I'm growing tired of watching myself type and quite honestly the heart attack I'm having is starting to kill me. You folks have got to do something as well. http://www.congress.org/ Write your elected officials and tell them not to give anymore bail out money to anyone. Tell them to stop everything and reverse everything. Tell them to force accountability on these thieves... wait... thief... acountability... is that an oxymoron? Oh well, I digress.
I bid you good day.

Lies, Lies and More Lies
Lies, Lies and More Lies.
By Matthew Llewellyn, Founder
America's Conservative Movement
www.Myspace.com/USAConservativeMovement
I found today's column on yahoo news. Today's column was inspired by an article I found entitled "Obama left with little time to curb global warming". Credits for that story, though they are horribly researched, go to those indicated on their page.
The story I am taking from will be in "black", my replies will be in "blue".
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. Now it is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid.
Since Clinton's inauguration, summer Arctic sea ice has lost the equivalent of Alaska, California and Texas. The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's second inauguration. Global warming is accelerating. Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.
A ticking time bomb? I think not. Let's go to the real facts here folks. False scares such as global warming have been present in our economy since the media joined the true liberal agenda. In the 1960's we were told there would be a huge population boom that would lead to world starvation. Didn't happen. In the 1960's again, we were told there was a global warming being caused by man's industrialization of the world. We were told, in the 1960's, if nothing was done, we would be dead before the year 2000. Didn't happen. But what did happen? In the 1970's the temperatures started to go back down dramatically. So what did the media and liberals say? We are causing global cooling and were going to cause the next ice age. Didn't happen.
What was the cause behind their global warming scare? Green house gases. The green house gases were trapping hot air and not allowing the world to ventilate into space. What was the cause for the global cooling scare? Green house gases. The green house gases were trapping in cold air and not allowing in heat from space via the sun. Which is it? Are we causing global cooling? Or are we causing global warming? OR... Are we causing neither? This is what I intend to debunk with today's article.
Who knows what caused the warmer temperatures in the 1960's that led to the scare? Anyone? No one? Not a single person? Okay... I'll tell you. Solar flares. Solar flare activity was very high. Now, did liberals ever attribute this to the cause? Nope. However, science, by accident, did.
Recently we discovered that the temperate on Neptune is rising. It's getting hotter... on Neptune. The furthest planet from the Sun (Pluto is now classified a moon not a planet) is getting hotter. What reason did NASA itself give us? It would seem, there was some solar flare activity not long ago with our soon. Appearantly the heat from those flares is now getting to Neptune and increasing it's overall global temperature. Hmm... So... When Neptune heats up, it's because of the sun. When any planet heats up, it's because of the sun. But when the Earth heats up, it's evil industry killing mother earth.
I was actually surprised by the data with Neptune. I automatically assumed the Neptunians were driving their SUV's too often and creating green house gases and thus causing global warming. Or is it global cooling that causes? I can't keep up with which one liberal scientist say it causes from day to day.
We all learned about Global Warming and man destroying the Earth from Al Gore's wonderful science fiction film, An Inconvenient Truth. This is what the media is basing everything off of. They are taking straight from Al's movie and turning into media produced mass hysteria. I think it's only fair we allow real scientist to have their turn when it comes to what they call "A Collection of Convenient Outright Lies."
Thank you to The Science and Public Policy Institute for your years of tireless research which led to exposing the lies about global warming. The Institute found not 1, not 2, not 3, but 35 outright lies. Basically, the entire movie.
You can read all the lies here
The British High Court assigned scientist to investigate the movie. They charged Al Gore, to which he still has not faced accountability, with spreading mass hysteria by telling 9 absolute, definitive, outright lies.
Read that story here
The liberals claim that the hottest years on record have been in our recent history, most within this and last decade. NOT! Again, more lies.
This global warming religion (which I'll prove later) has reached the highest levels of government. Even NASA helped lie about it. NASA scientist came out with research stating that 1998 was the hottest year on record. It was later discovered that the scientist intentionally misfed figures into the database in order to produce the results they wanted. When scientist inserted the real data, they discovered the hottest year on record was 1934. Furthermore, the beginning of this century was the hottest man can remember ever seeing, and over the duration of the century, we've been cooling down.
Read that entire story here
And here are the corrected database records recording temperatures
Folks, I'm going to keep going; but do I really need too? I mean seriously. What more do you want for proof? I can do this all day long. I have researched global warming more than most of you have spent time at work. Let's get back to the Yahoo News story I'm debunking.
"The time for delay is over; the time for denial is over," he said on Tuesday after meeting with former Vice President Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. "We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now that this is a matter of urgency and national security and it has to be dealt with in a serious way."
Did you know that Al Gore was the first person in history to nominate themselves for the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, now you do.
In actuality, as we are now seeing as more and more truth comes forward, Al Gore has a group of scientist about 100 strong that are backing his global warming lies. The rest of the scientist in the world completely disagree with the facts being offered by alarmist.
Real scientist hate global warming so much they formed this petition to stop it.
This petition has been signed by MORE than 31,000 scientist in the U.S. alone! Wow!
Okay just so you know, I've left out paragraphs from the Yahoo News story that are irrelevent, such as "he's meeting with so and so to discuss...", etc.
Obama is pushing changes in the way Americans use energy, and produce greenhouse gases, as part of what will be a massive economic stimulus. He called it an opportunity "to re-power America."
People look at conservatives, libertarians, and anyone against the global warming myth as being against the environment. This is an outright fallicy. We are completely for the environment. We believe in improving upon the way we do things. We believe in leaving less and less imprint in the world as we move society forward. But, we do not believe in taking part in a mass hystery based on false testimonies being used to push forward a liberal propoganda to do away with capitalism (get to this later as well.)
"We need to start in January making significant changes," Gore said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press. "This year coming up is the most important opportunity the world has ever had to make progress in really solving the climate crisis."
THERE IS NO CRISIS! IT DOESN'T EXIST!
Scientists are increasingly anxious, talking more often and more urgently about exceeding "tipping points."
"We're out of time," Stanford University biologist Terry Root said. "Things are going extinct."
Things have been going extinct since the dawn of time. Seriously folks. To debunk these statements just refer to links provided earlier in the column.
I tell you what, if you want to read the rest of the filth Yahoo News adorned it's site with please feel free. I already read it once, and it made me sick the first time. Trust me, it's just the same thing over and over, and if I continue to cover it, I'm just saying the same thing over and over.
So what is global warming? Is it real?
YES! It is. BUT! So is global cooling. The earth's temperature goes up and down all the time. This is part of the natural recycling chain that maintains the environment. Much like our own body has buffer systems designed to maintain homeostasis. Our temperature goes up and down throughout the day too in case you didn't know. As do our blood pressures, pulse and respiratory rate, as well as other metabolic functions.
Did you know that right know the Pacific ocean is actually at its coolest temperature in nearly 20 years? Scientist say this is because the oceans naturally go through cycles of hotter and colder. Again... as long as it's not the temperature affecting man, or if it's on another planet, it's natural. But when it's affecting man, it's caused by evil man.
Did you know many places throughout the world are seeing some of the earliest and heaviest winters they've had in decades? Well, they are.
What is global warming really? It's a religion being formed by the Reverend Al Gore to advance the liberal agenda to abolish capitalism. There, I said it.
Liberals have been trying to abolish capitalism and slowly insert socialism for 50 years. It wasn't until they began their environment scares that they started to receive the public support needed to start having the government take over private industries. They've been using scare after scare to justify this. Offering new plans, reimbursement programs, subsidy programs, etc, while constantly taking more and more government control over private industry.
The larger they can make the false crisis, and the more people they can terrify, the easier it is for them to abolish capitalism and ultimately birth their socialist utopia. For more on this see my examination of the Communist Manifesto.
So it global warming a religion? Yes. Proof? Sure...
Al Gore has been traveling the globe for almost 15 years now. He goes from town to town and holds special meetings. At these meetings, he teaches those attending to go out, form new chapters against global warming. He teaches them how to bring in new members, how to bring in funds, when, where and how to conduct meetings. They are to base everything from his teachings and spread his word throughout the world. Folks, he's going around making disciples, and their Reverend, their, god, is him.
If you still believe in global warming being caused by man, I don't think there is much hope for you left. Global warming is real, but again, so is global cooling. Neither of which are we responsible for nor do we even have the capability to changing if we wanted too. Short of Nuclear Winter, man is far too weak and puny to affect what God so perfectly designed.
I bid you good day.

I found today's column on yahoo news. Today's column was inspired by an article I found entitled "Obama left with little time to curb global warming". Credits for that story, though they are horribly researched, go to those indicated on their page.
The story I am taking from will be in "black", my replies will be in "blue".
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. Now it is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid.
Since Clinton's inauguration, summer Arctic sea ice has lost the equivalent of Alaska, California and Texas. The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's second inauguration. Global warming is accelerating. Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.
A ticking time bomb? I think not. Let's go to the real facts here folks. False scares such as global warming have been present in our economy since the media joined the true liberal agenda. In the 1960's we were told there would be a huge population boom that would lead to world starvation. Didn't happen. In the 1960's again, we were told there was a global warming being caused by man's industrialization of the world. We were told, in the 1960's, if nothing was done, we would be dead before the year 2000. Didn't happen. But what did happen? In the 1970's the temperatures started to go back down dramatically. So what did the media and liberals say? We are causing global cooling and were going to cause the next ice age. Didn't happen.
What was the cause behind their global warming scare? Green house gases. The green house gases were trapping hot air and not allowing the world to ventilate into space. What was the cause for the global cooling scare? Green house gases. The green house gases were trapping in cold air and not allowing in heat from space via the sun. Which is it? Are we causing global cooling? Or are we causing global warming? OR... Are we causing neither? This is what I intend to debunk with today's article.
Who knows what caused the warmer temperatures in the 1960's that led to the scare? Anyone? No one? Not a single person? Okay... I'll tell you. Solar flares. Solar flare activity was very high. Now, did liberals ever attribute this to the cause? Nope. However, science, by accident, did.
Recently we discovered that the temperate on Neptune is rising. It's getting hotter... on Neptune. The furthest planet from the Sun (Pluto is now classified a moon not a planet) is getting hotter. What reason did NASA itself give us? It would seem, there was some solar flare activity not long ago with our soon. Appearantly the heat from those flares is now getting to Neptune and increasing it's overall global temperature. Hmm... So... When Neptune heats up, it's because of the sun. When any planet heats up, it's because of the sun. But when the Earth heats up, it's evil industry killing mother earth.
I was actually surprised by the data with Neptune. I automatically assumed the Neptunians were driving their SUV's too often and creating green house gases and thus causing global warming.

The Realization of Racism
The realization of racism.
By Matthew Quinn Llewellyn, Founder
Americas Conservative Movement
http://www.myspace.com/usaconservativemovement
Barack Obama is now the President elect of the United States of America. While many have taken a tone of hatred and anger I believe we should take a different tone. Regardless of our liking our President or not, he is still our leader. While we don't have to like him, we do need to show him the respect his position deserves.
I would be just as honored to be photographed with Barack Obama as I would Ronald Reagan. Rather than just send slurs of hatred towards Washington, let us send our prayers. Our leaders need direction, they need guidance, and as we know, you don't have to believe in God, for God to believe in you. President Obama, congratulations on your achievement.
Now... that being said, I'm going to start pointing out some fallacies that I've seen present with this election and I've held my tongue. However, now that Mr. Obama has won, I feel a need to point these out.How many of you have ever been to a doctors office? Or seen a medical documentary? How many have ... you know... If I keep this up it'll go on and on so I'll just stop and move forward.
On November 3rd, 2008 (the day before the election), all over America, there were individuals who have achieved amazing success and accomplished huge feats in their lives. They have been an inspiration to the entire world, to their families, colleagues and of course, their children. Who are they? Allow me to explain... Black people.That's right... Black people.
Black brain surgeons, black heart surgeons, black general physicians, black judges, black senators, black representatives, black governors, black mayors, black police chiefs, black fire chiefs, black paramedics, black 4 star generals, black fighter pilots and black CEO's.
Those black men and women spent their lives taking advantage of the American dream. They worked hard, they studied, they pushed through and ultimately they triumphed. Honestly, I would have thought black children everywhere would look at these people as an inspiration, as would any children. Why? Because they are proof that this America is no longer than America of our grandfathers. This America is the one where every man and woman, regardless of their race or religion, can persevere and achieve anything they put their mind to.
Personally, if I were running for President, I would look to these individuals and say something along the lines of; "... and to all of you, I say, thank you, for showing us all that there is a better way, and with work, we can achieve our dreams."
However, if you are Barack Obama running for President, you say "F*** you" you those people.
(Hey, be happy, I actually censored my own typing there... I considered "screw you" in place of "f*** you" but it just didn't have the same emotion behind it.) Moving on.
When Barack Obama's campaign, and supporters, and people like Oprah Winfrey, went on national television after his victory, they literally said "f*** you" to every black man and woman who has grasped the American dream. They stood there and said that Mr. Obama's election is "finally" an affirmative sign that black people in this nation "really do have a chance now" and that they "finally" can become something better.
Wow... how offended I would be if I were a black person. Every single word they used was just another slap in the face to the forward movement of people like Martin Luther King, Jr.Black people have been on the same playing field as white people for decades now. My God, the Chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff was General Colin Powell, a black man... I studied about him in my elementary school. I remember being in elementary school and my teacher saying "This goes to show us that today, thanks to people who sacrificed, anyone, regardless of their skin color, can be anything they want."
I was taught this was a problem almost 20 years ago, yet on November 4, 2008 I found out we are just now starting to move forward.
Folks... friends... family... this entire mess sickens me... literally... it makes me sick at my stomach... perhaps that's just the bacon pizza settling... I digress...
The point here is what? The point is that President elect Obama and the far left want you to believe this is a nation of poverty and bigotry. They want you to believe that on November 3, 2008 this nation was full of millions of white oppressive racist and millions of oppressed black people, but on November 4, 2008, that day, my friends, is when the Savior changed the nation... he brought forth his promised change... he delivered the promise land.Side note: I was listening to KRMG around 5:13am election day when they interviewed a black man in Chicago near the election party area where Mr. Obama was to speak. He said and I qoute "I know I won't get close to him, but if I can just touch the grass, just touch the grass, that's all I need to know, is that I was here and touched the grass." Folks... remember people saying "...yet if I only touch his cloak I know my daughter will be healed." President elect Obama is the Messiah to these grossly undereducated people.
Mr. Obama wants us all to believe that he is bringing out of the darkness and into a Utopian dream, where people are dancing in circles, everyone is holding hands and all the little boys and girls of the world are using the same baby powder on their bottoms.
It's a myth people... we don't live in a world like this. We live in a world of unfairness. However, we, as Americans, already live in what others in 3rd world countries consider Utopia. We already live in the land where every boy and girl, regardless of race can be whatever they want.
Somehow, I don't know how, but somehow, Mr. Obama caused everyone to forget that.
Let's move on to this other little myth. I am getting sick and tired of hearing everyone say "We finally elected a black President." ... NO WE DID NOT!!! You can't hear me, but if you could, I would be yelling that very loudly I assure you.
NEWSFLASH... OBAMA IS NOT BLACK! He's white!
What's that? You want proof... I'll give you proof... but first... let's play by the myth. The myth is that Obama is half black and half white. Right? Right. So... if this is true, exactly what makes him black? Why can't he be white? He was white before. President elect Obama used to go by a different name than Barack, he was once known as Barry. Barry, was the name he used while growing up, going to college and used shortly after college. Barry clung to his white heritage and completely dismissed his black and other heritage (we'll get to the other later.) He didn't want in any way to have an association to that heritage. He did everything he could to avoid it. Why? Who knows and who cares. The fact is, he did. However, there came a day that Barry decided he wanted to get into politics. All of a sudden he was no longer Barry, but now, he was Barack, the black, minority, just trying to stand up against his white oppressors and make a better future for black people and minorities like him around the world.
Now... here's the truth. Mr. Obama's mother was 100% white, which would make him 50% white. His father was (roughly) 75% black and 25% aramaic, which would make Mr. Obama (roughly) 35% black and 15% aramaic. Wait a minute? Does that mean? YES! It does! Here everyone is shouting victory for electing the first black President when in reality... you just elected another white guy. One that I am sure will forget the minorities now just as quickly as he did before he started this campaign.
My final thought is that or ironic nature. Oprah, the Reverend Jackson, and the largest majority of big Obama supporters came out and told the world that this election was proof that a black man in this nation could do anything. Their logic, a black man finally can run for President in this country and win. WOW... this one is so easy to take apart I didn't even have to try.
This may come as a surprise to you, but since the early 20th century, there has been a black man run for President in every single election. I'm serious... look it up. In fact, on average, there are 20-30 people running for President in every election. As time progresses those with the largest amounts of money make it to the final 4-6 and those with even more money make it to the final 2, then, the 1 that is the member of the party that the nation currently dislikes the least wins the election. Black people have ran for President for decades folks. What made Obama different? Money... good old fashioned green paper.
Up until President elect Obama announced he was running for President he was a no-name to everyone outside of Illinois. In fact, even after he announced it, he was still a no-name. The media noticed him about just as much as anyone else who wasn't already a big national name. So what changed? Mr. Obama went out and spent millions and millions of dollars getting his name out there so he would have to be a well known name across the country, thus, the media had to pick it up, because people we're then getting interested. Everyone says Obama won because he was black... no he didn't... he's not black. Others say he won for his policies... no he didn't... his voters didn't know what his policies were.
Howard Stern had a feature just the other day where voters were asked who they supported. Those that said Obama were then presented with McCain's policies and asked since those are Obama's policies do they still support him, and they all said yes.
He won the election why? Because he had a whole lot more money than McCain to spend on the election. So... considering that's what really happened. What message is really being sent to the black children in this country? Is it: you can be anything you want to be no matter what? Or is it: You can be anything you want, so long as you have a whole, whole lot more money than whitey does, otherwise... you're screwed.
I bid you good-day and good-night.

So... if this is true, exactly what makes him black? Why can't he be white? He was white before. President elect Obama used to go by a different name than Barack, he was once known as Barry. Barry, was the name he used while growing up, going to college and used shortly after college. Barry clung to his white heritage and completely dismissed his black and other heritage (we'll get to the other later.) He didn't want in any way to have an association to that heritage. He did everything he could to avoid it. Why? Who knows and who cares. The fact is, he did. However, there came a day that Barry decided he wanted to get into politics. All of a sudden he was no longer Barry, but now, he was Barack, the black, minority, just trying to stand up against his white oppressors and make a better future for black people and minorities like him around the world.
Now... here's the truth. Mr. Obama's mother was 100% white, which would make him 50% white. His father was (roughly) 75% black and 25% aramaic, which would make Mr. Obama (roughly) 35% black and 15% aramaic. Wait a minute? Does that mean? YES! It does! Here everyone is shouting victory for electing the first black President when in reality... you just elected another white guy. One that I am sure will forget the minorities now just as quickly as he did before he started this campaign.
My final thought is that or ironic nature. Oprah, the Reverend Jackson, and the largest majority of big Obama supporters came out and told the world that this election was proof that a black man in this nation could do anything. Their logic, a black man finally can run for President in this country and win. WOW... this one is so easy to take apart I didn't even have to try.
This may come as a surprise to you, but since the early 20th century, there has been a black man run for President in every single election. I'm serious... look it up. In fact, on average, there are 20-30 people running for President in every election. As time progresses those with the largest amounts of money make it to the final 4-6 and those with even more money make it to the final 2, then, the 1 that is the member of the party that the nation currently dislikes the least wins the election. Black people have ran for President for decades folks. What made Obama different? Money... good old fashioned green paper.
Up until President elect Obama announced he was running for President he was a no-name to everyone outside of Illinois. In fact, even after he announced it, he was still a no-name. The media noticed him about just as much as anyone else who wasn't already a big national name. So what changed? Mr. Obama went out and spent millions and millions of dollars getting his name out there so he would have to be a well known name across the country, thus, the media had to pick it up, because people we're then getting interested. Everyone says Obama won because he was black... no he didn't... he's not black. Others say he won for his policies... no he didn't... his voters didn't know what his policies were.
Howard Stern had a feature just the other day where voters were asked who they supported. Those that said Obama were then presented with McCain's policies and asked since those are Obama's policies do they still support him, and they all said yes.
He won the election why? Because he had a whole lot more money than McCain to spend on the election. So... considering that's what really happened. What message is really being sent to the black children in this country? Is it: you can be anything you want to be no matter what? Or is it: You can be anything you want, so long as you have a whole, whole lot more money than whitey does, otherwise... you're screwed.
I bid you good-day and good-night.
