The 2010 elections are quickly becoming the most anticipated mid-term elections in modern American history. A little over a year ago, the American people gave the Democrats control of the House, the Senate and the White House. But now public opinion has swung dramatically against the Democrats.

Why?

As the video posted below explains, the American people are sick of the bailouts, sick of the spending, sick of the government takeovers, sick of the unemployment, sick of the corruption, sick of the socialism and sick of politicians not listening to concerns about health care reform.

The video below is very powerful and it has been viewed on YouTube tens of thousands of times. There is nothing offensive in it, but it has already been yanked down off of YouTube several times.

Why has it been yanked down? Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps people don't like hearing the truth.

The reality is that American voters are angrier than at any other point in modern times, and it looks like 2010 is going to be a really, really bad year for the Democrats....

But will the Republicans do any better if they get power?

After all, the reckless spending and expansion of government by the Bush administration got us into the position we are today.  Bush backed the bailouts and the government takeovers too.  In many ways, the Obama administration is just continuing the policies that the Bush administration started.  The truth is that the Bush administration was one of the most liberal administrations that the U.S. has ever had when you take an honest look at the issues.

So if the American people just end up voting in a bunch of George W. Bush clones, that is not going to solve much of anything.

The truth is that both parties are controlled by the establishment to such a degree that it is virtually impossible for the American people to change the course of the nation at the voting box anymore.  No matter who gets voted in, it just seems like things keep going the same way.

Hopefully the tea party movement can result in some real conservatives getting voted into Congress in 2010.  But it is high time that we all realize that the vast majority of the politicians in both parties are owned and bankrolled by the establishment, and not much is going to change until that does.

The Obama administration has decided that Barack Obama can break any law he signs if Obama decides that the law in not constitutional and that he can do this whenever he wants and that he does not even have to tell anyone what he is doing.  Seriously.  At least George W. Bush informed that American people that he intended to break the laws that he was signing by including a "signing statement" when he objected to something in a bill.  As bad and as unconstitutional as that was, now the Obama administration is taking things to a whole new level by saying that even if Barack Obama signs a bill into law, the Obama administration can still break any law in that bill if the Obama administration decides that it is an "unconstitutional" limit on Obama's power.

In essence this bring the United States even closer to a dictatorship.

If the president has the ultimate power to decide what is and what is not constitutional, and if the president also has the power to break any laws that he does not feel are constitutional, then the reality is that there are very few limits on his power.  The only limit is essentially how big of an imagination he has.

While Bush was in office, he challenged about 1,200 sections of bills, and Barack Obama continued this "signing statement" pattern during his first few months.

However, Obama has not issued a signing statement since last summer.  Last June, Obama issued a signing statement that claimed that he could openly disobey a new law requiring administration officials to push the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to adopt certain policies that Congress wanted.

That signing statement sparked a tremendous backlash on Capitol Hill.

Since then, the Obama administration has decided that instead of issuing signing statements, Obama will just ignore the provisions of any bill that the Obama administration believes are unconstitutional.

For example, the Obama administration has flatly disregarded a new law passed by Congress that forbids State Department officials from attending United Nations meetings led by nations deemed to be state sponsors of terrorism.

So now Obama gets to essentially have his cake and eat it too.

He can sign into law the various bills sent to him by Congress but can also ignore anything in them that he does not want to follow himself.

So can anything be done about this?

The truth is that this type of thing could quickly escalate into a constitutional crisis.  But with the Democrats in charge of both Congress and the White House, the odds of Congress complaining to the Supreme Court about what Obama is doing are so low as to not even be worth mentioning.

So for right now at least, Barack Obama will get to continue to openly break many of the laws that he is signing and nothing will be done about it.

Welcome to the new Amerika. 

What a first year!  In the aftermath of Barack Obama's election, the political scene in the United States was anything but boring.  In fact, efforts by the Obama administration to move America towards socialism and to integrate us into emerging world political structures has created a conservative backlash unlike anything ever seen in modern times.  Health care "reform", global warming and the ongoing world economic collapse all made huge headlines this year.  With Congressional elections looming in 2010, next year also promises to be an incredibly interesting year.  The truth is that the American people are becoming increasingly fractured and divided.  There are those who completely support Barack Obama's march towards socialism, but there are many others who recognize that Barack Obama's policies are destroying what remains of this once great constitutional republic.  How this plays out on the field of American politics in 2010 will be fascinating to watch.

But for today we wanted to review some of the key stories from this past year.  The following are the 16 most important stories posted on The Truth in 2009....

Barack Obama has made a guarantee. During an interview with ABC's Charles Gibson, Obama guaranteed that the U.S. federal government will go bankrupt if the health care reform bill he is pushing does not get passed. Of course he failed to mention that the health care reform bill will actually cost U.S. taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming years. Where in the world is all of that money going to come from?

The health care bill Barack Obama is trying to ram through Congress does virtually nothing to reduce the countless millions that doctors, lawyers, pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies are greedily raking in. Instead, it seeks to find savings by pushing "efficiency" and by cutting out "unnecessary procedures". In other words, federal officials will decide what medical procedures are "cost effective" and which ones are not.

Meanwhile, Representative Michele Bachmann is warning that this health care reform bill will be “the largest middle-class tax increase in American history” and will represent a huge step towards socialized medicine.

And she is right.

But that is not stopping Barack Obama from using whatever scare tactics he can to get this bill rammed through....

But Barack Obama was actually partly right about something.

The truth is that the U.S. government is already basically bankrupt.  It has been caught in an accelerating debt spiral for decades and now things have totally gotten out of control.  Just consider the chart below....

And the reality is that the chart above does not really reflect a lot of the money that went to bail out the financial industry.  The truth is that things are even worse than the chart indicates.

The U.S. government is drowning in red ink, and now we are about to have the Democrats ruthlessly ramrod a health care bill that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars down the throats of the American taxpayers.

What a mess we have on our hands.

Shocking photographs have been revealed that prove that Barack Obama knew the "White House party crashers" Tareq Salahi and Michaele Salahi even before he was elected president.  The most stunning photograph, posted below, shows "president-elect" Barack Obama posing with the Salahis and other celebrities at the 12th annual Rock the Vote awards on June 9th, 2005.  The other photograph shows the Salahis sitting in Barack Obama's box at the Lincoln Memorial on Inaguration Day.  In light of these photographs, how can Barack Obama deny having a close relationship with them?

This first photograph was posted on polocontacts.com on November 26, 2008.  It is from the night of the 12th annual Rock the Vote awards on June 9th, 2005.  The caption of the picture on that website reads as follows.....

"Others pictured are Black Eyed Peas Rock Band; Tareq Salahi the President of the America’s Polo Cup; President Elect Obama, Fergie from Black eyed Peas and Michaele Salahi, posing this time as a former Miss USA and SuperModel."

So we are still supposed to believe that Barack Obama did not know the Salahis?

One thing that we do know about Tareq Salahi is that he is a former member of The American Task Force on Palestine.  Even though The American Task Force on Palestine has scrubbed all references to Salahi on its website, reference to him can still be found on Google cache.

As far as Michaele Salahi goes, who knows what to believe.  Apparently she has claimed to be a former cheerleader for the Washington Redskins, a former model for Victoria’s Secret and a former Miss USA.

But what we do know is that these folks are very good at getting around town and posing with celebrities.

In fact, this next picture is of Tariq and Michaele Salahi sitting in President Obama's Box at the Lincoln Memorial on Inaguration Day.....

So in light of all this, how can it continue to be denied that Barack Obama had a friendship with the Salahis even before he became president?

In what would be perhaps the stupidest in a long series of stupid foreign policy decisions, Barack Obama is reportedly ready to support a proposed U.N. resolution unilaterally declaring the creation of a Palestinian State. Such a decision would likely be the most anti-Israel move that a U.S. government has ever made, and it would do fundamental damage to the friendship between the United States and Israel. The proposed U.N. resolution would have the Palestinians declare a state that would claim sovereignty over virtually all territory that Israel did not control prior to 1967. If the resolution is adopted by the U.N., that would mean that Israel would be forced to "retreat" from the West Bank and from eastern Jerusalem - all without Israel ever being included in any negotiations. Needless to say, the truth is that this is a really, really, really bad idea.

WorldNetDaily is reporting that Ahmed Qurei, a former PA prime minister and member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization executive committee, recently said that the PA has "reached an understanding with important elements within the administration" to support a U.N. resolution unilaterally declaring the creation of a Palestinian State.

So what does Israel think about all of this?

Well, WorldNetDaily is also reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin is warning that such a move by the Palestinians would be met by "one-sided Israeli measures".  In fact, Netanyahu is reported to have said the following to a group of high level policy makers.....

"There is no substitute for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and any unilateral attempts outside that framework will unravel the existing agreements between us and could entail unilateral steps by Israel".

But not everyone in Israel is on the same page with Netanyahu.  Haaretz actually published a shocking editorial by Yossi Sarid which openly encourages the Palestinians to go ahead and unilaterally declare the creation of a Palestinian state.

In his editorial, Sarid makes this shocking statement: "He must declare, unilaterally, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Palestine now."

When Haaretz starts publishing this kind of nonsense you know that things are in a really sorry state.

Virtually the whole world is under the misconception that if the Palestinians are given their own nation that it will bring lasting peace to the region.

That is completely and utterly false.

There was no peace in the region before there was a "Palestinian problem" and there will not be peace once they have been given a state either.

The truth is that the Palestinians are obsessively and generationally committed to conquering every inch of the land of Israel at any price.  If they can get part of the way there through diplomacy or negotiations they will be glad to do it, but they will never be happy until they rule every single shred of the land of Israel. 

If you do not believe this, just read the following quotes from Palestinian authorities about the destruction of Israel.....

"The Islamic Land of Palestine is one and cannot be divided. There is no difference between Haifa and Nablus, between Lod and Ramallah, between Jerusalem and Nazareth. Dividing Palestine into cantons and giving recognition to the occupation is prohibited by Sharia (Islamic religious law), since Palestinian is Wakf(Islamic Trust) for all Moslems in the East and in the West. No one has the right to give it up or to forsake it. The liberation of Palestine is a mandatory obligation for all Moslems and not only for our Palestinian nation."(Shiekh Yuosouf Abu Sneina, the official preacher of the Al Aqsa Mosque, on Palestinian Radio April 30th, 1999)

"We may lose or win [tactically] but our eyes willcontinue to aspire to the strategic goal, namely, to Palestine from the river (i.e. Jordan) to the sea (i.e. the Mediterranean). Whatever we get now cannot make us forget this supreme truth."  ("Moderate" PA Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Faisal Husseini, March 21st, 2001)

"We are discussing the current problems and when we speak about Jerusalem it doesn't mean that we have forgotten about Hebron or about Jaffa or about Acre... We are speaking about the current problems that have priority at a certain time. It doesn't mean that we have given up... We have announced a number of times that from a religious point of view Palestine from the sea to the river is Islamic." (Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, Palestinian Authority appointed Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, January 11th, 2001)

Hamas still wants “Palestine from the river to the sea” -- and believes in retaking the land from Jordan to the Mediterranean, including Israel. But on the way to that '”strategic goal,” he said, the group might back negotiations with Israel “under certain circumstances” and would support an “interim solution.”(Yasser Mansour, a Hamas candidate from Nablus, The Boston Globe, January 17th, 2006)

"It is forbidden for anyone, Arab, Palestinian or Moslem to forgo one grain of soil of the land of Palestine, Jerusalem and Al Aksa... Whoever forgoes even one grain of soil his sin is upon him, and all the sins of the Palestinians, the Arabs and the Moslems, forever and ever..." (Palestinian TV, September 8, 2000)

"We the Palestinian nation, our fate from Allah is to be the vanguard in the war against the Jews until the resurrection of the dead, as the prophet Mohammed said: 'The resurrection of the dead will not arrive until you will fight the Jews and kill them...' We the Palestinians are the vanguard in this undertaking and in this campaign, whether or not we want this..." (Palestinian TV, July 28, 2000)

"[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith… the Islamic Resistance Movement, which is aware of the [prospective] parties to this conference, and of their past and present positions towards the problems of the Muslims, does not believe that those conferences are capable of responding to demands, or of restoring rights or doing justice to the oppressed."(Hamas Charter 1987 - Article 13)

"The battle with the Jews will surely come... the decisive Moslem victory is coming without a doubt, and the prophet spoke about in more than one Hadith. And the day of resurrection will not come without the victory of the believers [the Moslems] over the descendents of the monkeys and pigs [the Jews] and with their annihilation." (official P.A. newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, May 18, 2001)

"The Jews are the Jews. There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liars... the true criminals, the Jewish terrorists, that slaughtered our children, that turned our wives into widows and our children into orphans, and desecrated our holy places. They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of Allah... it is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews in any place and in any land. Make war on them anyplace that you find yourself. Any place that you encounter them -- kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans that are like them... Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere..." (Palestinian TV, October 13, 2000)

Are you starting to get the picture.  The truth is that there are countless quotes like the ones above.  The obsession of the Palestinians to take that land is so extreme that it is really difficult for people in the United States or Europe to even comprehend it. 

Instead, politicians in the west just want to find a way for everyone over there "to get along".  That is simply not going to happen.

But now Barack Obama just wants to give the Palestinians huge sections of the land of Israel (including parts of Jerusalem), with the Jews only getting some worthless "peace guarantees" in return.

How much have any peace guarantees with the Palestinians ever been worth?

Nothing.

They break their promises at the drop of the hat.

The reality is that the Palestinian political and religious leaders hate Israel and they hate the Jewish people.

Nothing is going to change that.

The creation of a Palestinian state may briefly delay the coming Middle East war, but it IS coming.

But Barack Obama and his administration are in a state of complete denial, and they seem to have no fear of shaking their fists in the face of God by giving away part of the land that God promised to the people of Israel.

All the friends of Israel need to stand up now and insist that the U.S. government must NOT support a proposed U.N. resolution unilaterally declaring the creation of a Palestinian State.

Israel belongs to the Jewish people and nothing is going to change that.
