In case you don't know, the Executive branch of our Federal government is being run by lawless people in a lawless manner. This fact becomes more and more clear on a daily basis. The sad thing is, no one in Congress is standing up to these people trying to stop their evil deeds.

I just listened to a clip of Rush from today where he describes the plan of Obama to create a court within the Executive branch to adjudicate all health care litigation. Do you comprehend the enormity of this statement? This is his attempt to begin elimination of the Judicial branch of our government.

He has already canceled the authority of the US Congress by having them (!) vote for new, broad, sweeping powers to be given to the Executive branch. Congress voted for these new powers and they have, in effect, made themselves irrelevant. This has all happened so rapidly that it's extremely difficult to stay abreast of the changes.

I don't believe America will survive this. I have tried to be hopeful that we would be able to overturn the damage done by Obama but I no longer have any hope for our nation. The assault by this man and his comrades has been too rapid and is too overwhelming.

Therefore, if you own land, it's time to start farming your land so you can provide food for you and your family. If you don't own land, sell what you can to buy land. We may have one to two years left.

One thing that we must remember and realize. Although the media would like us to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion except for a few nut cases it is not.

It is far from peaceful. Just read the Koran.

FCC Continues to Overstep Its Authority

Let's face it. Our Federal government is practicing lawlessness in every department. If they allow elections to take place in November (I'm not convinced they will) we must vote out as many Democrats/Progressives/Marxists as possible. If not, America will not survive after two more years with these people in power.

This is the result of big government and is the reason the Founders of this country wrote the Constitution in order to limit the duties and power of the Federal government. They knew if the feds were allowed to operate unchecked (which they are!) we would have this complete, total, absolute, madness in charge of us and controlling more and more of our lives. The Governor of Louisiana is being hindered by the Federal government from protecting his coast and because of that the oil is coming ashore. Frankly, he has been hindered by them since the start of this catastrophe.

Why have We the People allowed this government to grow to the size it is today? And, don't look now, but they continue to grab more and more power from the States and from the people. It never ends!!

Mark Levin believes we are now living under a soft tyranny and I think he's right. The question is, when does the hard tyranny begin? It's coming.

The worst is yet to come!!

It's a Shakedown to Give Obama Another Slush Fund

I understand Republicans are distancing themselves from Mr. Barton and one congressman has called for him to step down from the committee. I hope he holds his ground. He is right about this shakedown and slush fund. The law requires BP to give a maximum of $75 million for this accident. Evidently, the Chicago thugocracy in the White House made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
