Already, things are really, really, really bad out there.  Unemployment is at shockingly high levels.  Foreclosures and personal bankruptcies continue to set new all-time records.  Businesses are being shut down at a staggering rate, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. government continues to pile up debt at blinding speed.

There is no use sugar-coating it.

The U.S. economy is collapsing.

The following are 40 bizarre statistics that reveal the truth about the collapse of the U.S. economy....

1 - According to one shocking new survey, 28% of U.S. households have at least one member that is looking for a full-time job.

2 - A recent Pew Research survey found that 55 percent of the U.S. labor force has experienced either unemployment, a pay decrease, a reduction in hours or an involuntary move to part-time work since the recession began.

3 - There are 9.2 million Americans that are unemployed but that are not receiving an unemployment insurance check.

4 - In America today, the average time needed to find a job has risen to a record 35.2 weeks.

5 - According to one analysis, the United States has lost 10.5 million jobs since 2007.

6 - China's trade surplus (much of it with the United States) climbed 140 percent in June compared to a year earlier.

7 - This is what American workers now must compete against: in China a garment worker makes approximately 86 cents an hour and in Cambodia a garment worker makes approximately 22 cents an hour.

8 - According to a poll taken in 2009, 61 percent of Americans "always or usually" live paycheck to paycheck.  That was up significantly from 49 percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007.

9 - According to a recent poll conducted by Bloomberg, 71% of Americans say that it still feels like the economy is in a recession.

10 - Banks repossessed 269,962 U.S. homes during the second quarter of 2010, which was a new all-time record.

11 - Banks repossessed an average of 4,000 South Florida properties a month in the first half of 2010, up 83 percent from the first half of 2009.

12 - According to RealtyTrac, a total of 1.65 million U.S. properties received foreclosure filings during the first half of 2010.

13 - The Mortgage Bankers Association recently announced that demand for loans to purchase U.S. homes has sunk to a 13-year low.

16 - Back in 1950 each retiree's Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 workers.  Today, each retiree's Social Security benefit is paid for by approximately 3.3 workers.  By 2025 it is projected that there will be approximately two workers for each retiree.

17 - According to a new poll, six of 10 non-retirees believe that Social Security won't be able to pay them benefits when they stop working.

18 - 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement.

19 - According to one survey, 36 percent of Americans say that they don't contribute anything to retirement savings.

20 - According to one recent survey, 24% of American workers say that they have postponed their planned retirement age in the past year.

21 - The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index declined sharply to 52.9 in June.  Most economists had expected that the figure for June would be somewhere around 62.

26 - Things are now so bad in California that in the region around the state capital, Sacramento, there is now one closed business for every six that are still open.

27 - The state of Illinois now ranks eighth in the world in possible bond-holder default.  The state of California is ninth.

28 - More than 25 percent of Americans now have a credit score below 599, which means that they are a very bad credit risk.

29 - On Friday, U.S. regulators closed down three banks in Florida, two in South Carolina and one in Michigan, bringing to 96 the number of U.S. banks to be shut down so far in 2010.

30 - The FDIC's deposit insurance fund now has negative 20.7 billion dollars in it, which represents a slight improvement from the end of 2009.

31 - The U.S. federal budget deficit has topped $1 trillion with three months still to go in the current budget year.

32 - According to a U.S. Treasury Department report to Congress, the U.S. national debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015.

37 - The number of Americans with incomes below the official poverty line rose by about 15% between 2000 and 2006, and by 2008 over 30 million U.S. workers were earning less than $10 per hour.

38 - According to one recent study, approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in 2010 - the highest rate in 20 years.

39 - For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.

40 - A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey has found that just 23% of American voters nationwide believe the federal government today has the consent of the governed.

No, we can't.

In fact, Democrat Erskine Bowles, one of the heads of Barack Obama's national debt commission, recently told the National Governors Association that the U.S. national debt "is like a cancer".

How much of a cancer?

Well, according to Bowles, if the U.S. government does not make any changes it will be spending $2 trillion just for interest on the national debt by 2020.

2 trillion dollars.

The entire U.S. government will only spend somewhere between 3 and 4 trillion dollars in all of 2010.

Yes, that is how desperate the situation is becoming.

If something is not done about this horrific debt it is going to swallow our nation alive financially.

The following are 11 facts about America's national debt in 2010 that should alarm us all....

*On June 1st, the U.S. National Debt was $13,050,826,460,886.

*From the founding of the United States until Ronald Reagan took office we accumulated a total of about 1 trillion dollars in debt.  Now the U.S. national debt is over 13 trillion dollars.

*It is projected that the U.S. government will issue nearly as much new debt in 2010 as the rest of the governments of the world combined.

*If right this moment you went out and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.  But somehow the U.S. government has accumulated a debt that is over 13 trillion dollars.

*If you do the math, the truth is that it is simply not possible to pay off the U.S. national debt.  In fact, if you took every single dollar out of every single bank and out of every single wallet there wouldn't be anywhere close to enough money to do it.

*According to an official U.S. government report, rapidly growing interest costs on the U.S. national debt together with spending on major entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare will absorb approximately 92 cents of every dollar of federal revenue by the year 2019.  That is before one penny is spent on anything else.

*Back in 1950, each retiree's Social Security benefit was paid for by approximately 16 workers.  Today, each retiree's Social Security benefit is paid for by approximately 3.3 workers.  By 2025 it is projected that there will be approximately two workers for each retiree.

*According to the Congressional Budget Office, in 2010 the Social Security system will pay out more in benefits than it receives in payroll taxes.  That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016.

*Over 40 million Americans are now on food stamps and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting that more than 43 million Americans will be on food stamps by the end of 2011.

*Approximately 57 percent of Barack Obama's 3.8 trillion dollar budget for 2011 consists of direct payments to individual Americans or is money that is spent on their behalf.

*A trillion $10 bills, if they were taped end to end, would wrap around the globe more than 380 times.  That amount of money would still not be enough to pay off the U.S. national debt.

Please send this out to everyone that you can, and if you have an opinion about all this debt please feel free to leave a comment below....

So exactly what were the facts of this case?   

Well, this case had originally been brought by the Christian Legal Society at the University of California-Hastings College of Law.

School officials had refused to recognize the Christian Legal Society and grant it student-activity funding, meeting space and other privileges because they said that the group "discriminated" against gays students.

But the group did not specifically "discriminate" against homosexuals.  What they did was require that group members adhere to standards of Christian morality which included not being involved in sexual immorality.

But today if you insist on sexual morality that means that you are a bigot.

This is what America is turning into.

Dissenting from the Supreme Court decision were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Writing for the dissenters, Alito states that this new decision, "arms public educational institutions with a handy weapon for suppressing the speech of unpopular groups."

Indeed it does.

Christian groups all over the United States are now going to be pushed off campus.

But that is only the beginning.

Eventually churches and Christian organizations across the United States are going to lose their tax exemptions because they supposedly "discriminate" against gay people.

That is where things are headed.

Taking a stand on sexual immorality is going to increasingly get Christians into trouble in the years ahead. 

So decide right now where you are going to stand.  Because things are not going to get any easier.

The video posted below should absolutely shock you.  Law enforcement authorities in Arizona are now openly announcing that the Mexican drug cartels totally control a drug smuggling corridor that extends from the Mexican border all the way up to Phoenix.

As you watch the video below, take special note of the following incredibly shocking quotes from Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu....

"Drug cartels control this area."

"Local law enforcement cannot handle and stop this on our own."

"We are outgunned, we are outmanned and we don't have the resources here locally for us to fight this."

The following is another video news report that discusses how the U.S. government has now made some parts of Arizona off limits to U.S. citizens because of the threat of violence from Mexican drug smugglers....

So where is the federal government?

Local officials are crying out for assistance.

Talk about dropping the ball!

One of the things that the federal government is actually supposed to do is to secure our borders.

But years of neglect on the borders has created an illegal immigration nightmare as a Frosty Woolridge article pointed out recently....

Examples explode across America: 76 percent dropout rate in Detroit, Michigan high schools. Entrenched poverty. An astounding $35 million in goods shoplifted every day in America, honor killings of women now in America, mosques growing like flies in a barnyard, Muslim shootouts with FBI agents, first call for Sharia Law to be implemented in Detroit, Islamic calls to worship sounding over the once all American city. Another city, Los Angeles slowly returns to Mexican authority, language and culture. Every girl past 15 features a baby and most of those mothers cannot read past the fourth grade or work simple math. The Mexican “18th Street Gang” of 20,000 illegal aliens controls the drug trade in much of LA and police will not venture into their ghettos. MS-13 now in 40 American states. Millions of pounds of trash must be picked up as it is tossed all over LA. Chicago, Miami and Houston feature gangs, drugs and worse—all caused by mass immigration. Phoenix, Arizona features an astounding annual car theft rate of 57,000 vehicles to become the new “Car Theft Capital of the World.”

Things have gotten so bad that some states have taken matters into their own hands. 

But when Arizona recently passed a watered-down anti-illegal immigration law in an attempt to do something about this security nightmare, the pro-illegal immigration community exploded in outrage.

To get an idea of how absolutely vicious the backlash has been against this new law in Arizona, just check out the following video....

But do these protests reflect the will of the American people?

Well, no.

The truth is that the American people overwhelmingly want something to be done about this horrific illegal immigration crisis.

One recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that almost two-thirds (64 percent) of voters in Arizona favor the new law.  Another recent Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that 60% of American voters nationwide favor an anti-immigration law like Arizona just passed, while just 31% are opposed.

Talk about a consensus.

But the U.S. government refuses to do anything.

In our recent article entitled "The Truth About Securing The Border" we noted that the U.S. seems more than happy to help other nations secure their borders and yet refuses to secure our own.... 

Is there a reason why the U.S. government refuses to secure our border with Mexico?

After all, we seem more than happy to help other nations secure their borders.

In fact, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has just agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.

Not only that, we have secured the border between South Korea and North Korea so well that not a single North Korean has crossed over the border illegally in over 50 years.

And yet we continue to leave our border with Mexico completely wide open.

Not only is doing so insanely bad public policy, it also greatly endangers our national security.

Border officials tell us that a growing number of radical Muslims are sneaking over the Mexican border into the United States.

And we are doing almost nothing to stop them.

This is a national nightmare and it is getting worse by the day.

If we do not do anything, crime will continue to get worse, gang violence will continue to get worse, drug dealing with continue to get worse and more law enforcement authorities will continue to be killed.

This is a desperate national security problem that needs an urgent solution.

But as long as Barack Obama is in the White House, nothing is going to be done about illegal immigration.

So if you live in an area that is crawling with Mexican drug smugglers, the truth is that you only have two options.

Either get used to it or move somewhere else.

Just consider a few of the startling facts that have come out about Elena Kagan....

*After the election of Ronald Reagan, a young Elena Kagan openly yearned for a more "leftist left".

*As an aide to President Bill Clinton, Kagan took a lead role in fighting a Republican bill to limit abortion.

*Kagan once referred to the Pentagon's Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy as "a profound wrong—a moral injustice of the first order".

*One newly produced document from the Clinton archives has revealed that Kagan once defended ex-President Bill Clinton's veto of a bill to ban partial-birth abortions.

*White House memos from 1997, when Elena Kagan was a top domestic policy advisor to President Clinton, show that she recommended that the Clinton administration permit cloning of human embryos for research purposes.

Cloning of human embryos for research?

Is that the kind of future we are headed towards?

Well, the answer is yes if Elena Kagan has anything to say about it.

The truth is that Elena Kagan would give new meaning to the term "liberal activist judge".  Between Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, the Democrats now have a liberal core of judges on the Supreme Court that could last for decades.

America cannot afford for Elena Kagan to be confirmed, but with the Democrats firmly in control that is exactly what is going to happen.

This is yet another indication of just how far America has fallen.

The United States is heading straight into the moral toilet, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. 

What a horrible nation we are becoming.

Does that make any sense at all?

What in the world is going on?

Is there a reason why the U.S. government refuses to secure our border with Mexico?

After all, we seem more than happy to help other nations secure their borders.

In fact, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has just agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.

Not only that, we have secured the border between South Korea and North Korea so well that not a single North Korean has crossed over the border illegally in over 50 years.

And yet we continue to leave our border with Mexico completely wide open.

Not only is doing so insanely bad public policy, it also greatly endangers our national security.

Border officials tell us that a growing number of radical Muslims are sneaking over the Mexican border into the United States.

And we are doing almost nothing to stop them.

What sense does it make to have our airports completely locked down and crawling with security if radical Muslims can just hop over the Mexican border any time they want?

The truth is that no politician should claim that they are serious about national security until they are willing to do something about securing our borders.

But instead, many of our politicians are acting as if trying to do anything about illegal immigration is equivalent to racism.

For example, U.S. Representative Linda Sanchez claims that white supremacist groups are behind Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law.

It is this kind of nonsense that has got to stop.

But in today's "politically correct" Washington D.C. it is not going to.

So millions of illegal immigrants (and thousands of radical Muslims) will continue to pour unchecked across the Mexican border and into the United States.

It is a recipe for disaster.

Ouch!

40 million Americans on food stamps?

The old timers used to tell us that one day we would all be standing in bread lines, but this is ridiculous.

The United States is rapidly becoming a socialized welfare state and nobody seems to be able to do anything to stop it.

You see, it is not only the food stamp program that is exploding.

Virtually all government handout programs are exploding.

For example, nearly 51 million Americans received $672 billion in Social Security benefits in 2009.

It seems like almost everyone is getting money from the government these days.

But of course all of these government handouts are also creating a huge problem.

It is called debt.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department, on June 1st the U.S. National Debt was $13,050,826,460,886.97.

We have piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world and there is no possible way that we are ever going to be able to pay it off.

In fact, this crushing debt load will almost certainly destroy the U.S. economy.

But the tens of millions of Americans that are getting handouts from the government each month do not want to give them up.

In fact, it is those handouts that are keeping many of them off the streets.

Millions of Americans are finding it really hard to make it these days - especially the millions of Americans that don't have jobs.

Long-term unemployment has never been this bad in the United States in the post-World War II era.

In fact, 45.9% of those currently unemployed in the United States have been out of work longer than six months.  That is the highest percentage since the Labor Department began keeping track in 1948.

And the truth is that there are fewer and fewer good jobs out there.

You see, we shipped millions and millions of good jobs to other countries after our politicians promised us that "free trade" and "globalism" would be so good for us.

Well, they were good for the greedy CEOs that raked in record profits by exploiting third world labor pools, but they were not so good for the millions of Americans that have now lost their jobs.

Increasingly, the U.S. is becoming a "two tier" society.

The very rich are thriving while tens of millions of other Americans have never had it harder.

So where will all of this end?

50 million Americans on food stamps?

60 million Americans on food stamps?

Will we all be on food stamps someday?

This is getting ridiculous and it has to stop.

The U.S. is on the path to economic and financial oblivion.

But the politicians in Washington D.C. seem content to continue business as usual.

As long as they keep getting elected they really don't seem to care much about what they are doing to the long-term future of this nation.

But of course ultimately it is our responsibility for electing such a bunch of absolute losers to represent us.

The truth is that the United States of America is falling apart and Obama, Pelosi and Reid are completely incapable of fixing things.

Not that the Republicans did much better when they controlled Congress and the White House.

The truth is that both parties are filled with corrupt career politicians that shouldn't be hired to run a Burger King much less make decisions for this entire nation.

But this is where we are at.  We have come to a time of great national crisis and the leadership in Washington D.C. is pretty much completely incompetent.

So is there a way out of this mess?  Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion....

Well, so what are their plans?

First of all, they want to prop up the liberal-dominated mainstream media and newspapers.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the Obama administration is conducting "a major internal study" intended to design a major government rescue plan for America's newspapers.

So why not let newspapers that nobody wants to read anymore simply die?

Well, that is just not the "liberal" way.

After all, most of those newspapers constantly spew liberal propaganda.

So what are some of the proposals in this major internal study?

Well, according to the Los Angeles Times, the following proposals are being considered....

*Major changes to the copyright law, including government licensing provisions

*Government pilot programs to investigate potential new media business models

*Antitrust changes to allow media companies to unite on imposing online pay walls

*Establishing a journalism division of AmeriCorps with government underwriting the training of young journalists

*Tax incentives per news employee

*Increased funding of public broadcasting

*A 5% tax on consumer electronics and assessments on users of public airwaves

*Allowing taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes to a specific media institution as payment for media services rendered

Perhaps you read those proposals and you think that they are utter insanity.

Well, the truth is that we live in insane times.

Secondly, the Obama administration is looking for ways that they can get away with shutting down conservative and libertarian news outlets.

There have been a number of suggestions from officials in the Obama administration that the "Fairness Doctrine" should be resurrected in one form or another.

Implementing the "Fairness Doctrine"  would mean that conservative radio shows, television broadcasts and Internet sites would have to give "equal time" to liberal points of view.

Of course liberal sites and broadcasts would likely not see much enforcement against them since they would be considered to be so "balanced" and "reasonable" already.

But even if the "Fairness Doctrine" is not brought back to life, liberals are looking for many other ways to "regulate" what we see and hear.

In fact, a coalition of more than 30 far left organizations recently sent a letter to the FCC arguing that the Internet has made it harder for the public to separate "the facts" from "bigotry masquerading as news".

Of course they define "bigotry" as anything that disagrees with Barack Obama.

The truth is that the liberals working for the Obama administration are evaluating what they can legally get away with in terms of media censorship. 

The temptation is far too great for them to resist.

They simply cannot leave well enough alone.

So we are likely to see an increasing number of attempts to "regulate" speech on the radio, television and Internet for the "good" of the American people.

 Enjoy your freedom of speech while it lasts.

If you have not seen the video posted below yet, you have got to watch it.  Yes, it is extremely funny in one sense, but it is also an incredibly sad commentary on just how far we have fallen as a nation.... 

So did the fact that Crystal Bowersox lost American Idol really "ruin" this woman's life?

Of course not.

But the truth is that tens of millions of American now live in a false reality where the things that happen in the entertainment world are what really matter, and the fact that the world is literally falling apart around them doesn't really register.

Here is another example of this phenomenon....

A 32 year old Clackamas, Oregon mother recently made a trip with her three year old son to Chips Palace and Restaurant Casino in Lakewood, Washington.

She arrived at the casino at 4 AM, and she decided that her son would be perfectly fine spending the day locked inside her Lincoln Navigator.

Nearly eight hours later, a casino security guard heard the little boy crying. Inside the vehicle he found the little tike with a soiled diaper and only a cup of spoiled milk to sustain him.

Isn't that lovely?

Yes another woman who is extremely unlikely to win Mom of the Year.

But that is what is happening to America.

We are so obsessed with entertaining ourselves that we have lost all touch with reality.

And yet the things that really matter are being totally ignored by tens of millions of Americans that have been completely "zombiefied" by entertainment.

If people want to get upset about something, there are a whole host of crucial national issues that are just screaming for our attention.....

*The U.S. government has piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and yet our "representatives" in Washington D.C. continue to spend money like it is going out of style.  What we have done to future generations is absolutely criminal.

*Our health care system has just been obliterated by the U.S. Congress, and we  are going to be drowning in a sea of red ink as we try to pay for the bizarre new system that they have created.

*A horde of 30 million illegal aliens have brought a tidal wave of crime, drugs and gang violence with them into our cities and the U.S. government is doing nothing to stop it.

*Our politicians keep telling us how wonderful "free trade" and "the global economy" are while our once great manufacturing cities such as Detroit turn into rusted-out war zones.

*Over 40 million babies have been slaughtered in U.S. abortion mills since 1973, and yet the vast majority of the American people seem perfectly content for the murdering of the unborn to continue.

Yes, those are things that are actually worth getting upset about.

But instead, tens of millions of brain-dead Americans will continue to obsess over every little detail of American Idol and Dancing With The Stars while the Republic continues to crumble.

What a sad nation we have become.

In fact, it is the official policy of the United Nations to fight climate change by promoting population control measures.  They don't even try to camouflage it anymore.  Last year the UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund) released its annual State of the World Population Report entitled "Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate", and in that document it was made clear that the official position of the UN is that the only way to avoid a major climate disaster is to dramatically increase "family planning" services around the globe and to do whatever is necessary to reduce worldwide fertility rates. 

Check out just a few of the quotes about the link between overpopulation and climate change contained in the UNFPA report....

*"The importance of the speed and magnitude of recent population growth in boosting future greenhouse-gas emissions is well recognized among scientists, including the authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's reports."

*"Still, calculations of the contribution of population growth to emissions growth globally produce a consistent finding that most of past population growth has been responsible for between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of emissions growth."

*"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendents. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."

*"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."

*"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."

No human is genuinely carbon neutral?

That means by being alive, we are all part of the problem.

To the elite, we are viewed as "useless eaters" that have multiplied to the point where we are now wildly out of control and are threatening to destroy the earth with our toxic carbon emissions.

And don't think for a moment that the United Nations Population Fund is not a big time international organization.

They are active in virtually ever corner of the planet, they have the full backing of the United Nations, and thanks to Barack Obama they have 50 million U.S. taxpayer dollars with which to advance their eugenics agenda.

But it is not just the United Nations that is preoccupied with population control as a solution to global warming.

Bill Gates is absolutely obsessed with it.

In the video posted below, Bill Gates explains his belief that carbon emissions from humans are causing climate change, and that the only way to stop climate change is to reduce those carbon emissions to zero.

That is right. 

While you watch the clip, notice how many times he emphasizes the need to bring these carbon emissions down to zero.

So how does he propose to do this?

Well, one of his suggestions is to slow the growth of the population.

And how will that be accomplished?

In the video Bill Gates tells us exactly what his solution is....

"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."

Now wait a minute - aren't vaccines supposed to keep people alive?

Wouldn't more vaccines actually increase the population?

Or does Bill Gates know something that we don't?

What Bill Gates has to say in this video is absolutely jaw dropping....

But of course Bill Gates is not the only one who is obsessed with climate change and population control.

In this next video, David Rockefeller explains how we are on the verge of a massive ecological disaster because there are too many people on the planet....

The truth is that while you and I may not give much thought to "overpopulation", the global elite are truly obsessed with it. 

In fact, they even hold gatherings where they all get together and talk about it.  Just over one year ago Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and a number of other incredibly wealthy individuals held a secret meeting in New York.

So what was the topic of this secret meeting?

Population control.

One anonymous attendee of the meeting was quoted in a major U.K. newspaper as saying that overpopulation "is something so nightmarish that everyone in this group agreed it needs big-brain answers."

Apparently they are the big brains that are going to figure out the best ways to make sure that there are fewer of the rest of us running around.

So the next time you hear about the incredible "threat" of climate change in the mainstream media, keep in mind what the global elite believe the ultimate solution to that threat is.

As Bill Gates said, they are not going to be satisfied until they get carbon emissions by humans down to zero.

And considering the fact that you have been breathing out carbon dioxide the whole time that you have been reading this article, that is not good news for you.

He has sent an email to millions of people who supported Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2008 that asks this question:

"How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?"

Doesn't that sound cozy?

Reportedly, an online donation of as little as $5 gets you into the lottery.

Considering the fact that Hillary's campaign debt is now down to $771,000, and considering the fact that her campaign has approximately $624,000 in the bank, it is not as if the Clintons need this money so badly.

Or maybe this is just a way for Bill to meet chicks.

In any event, the opportunity to spend a day with Bill Clinton is out there.

I wonder what he would do if a hardcore conservative won?

That could be fun.

You could spend half the day just asking him about the truth regarding the scandals during his administration.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more appealing a day with Bill Clinton sounds.

So if the opportunity came up, sure, I think I would hang out with Bill Clinton for a day.

But I would never give Hillary a dime, so I guess I am out of luck.

But if you are interested, feel free to give the Clintons a donation. 

Who knows?

You might get lucky.

For example, a shocking new survey by LifeWay Christian Resources shows that the vast majority of young adults in America today do not go to church, do not pray and do not read the Bible.

Just consider a few of the results from this incredibly troubling survey of 18 to 29 year old Americans....

•65% rarely or never pray with others, and 38% almost never pray by themselves either.

•65% rarely or never attend worship services of any kind.

•67% don't read the Bible or any other religious texts on a regular basis.

That is a solid two-thirds of American young adults who don't even have the slightest connection to traditional Christianity.

Thom Rainer, the president of LifeWay Christian Resources, says that if the current trends continue, "the Millennial generation will see churches closing as quickly as GM dealerships."

The survey did find that 65% of those surveyed did call themselves "Christian", but among that 65%, "many are either mushy Christians or Christians in name only," Rainer says. "Most are just indifferent. The more precisely you try to measure their Christianity, the fewer you find committed to the faith."

But it just isn't this latest survey that is showing a mass exodus from the Christian faith by America's young people.

According to a recent survey by America's Research Group, 95 percent of 20 to 29 year old evangelical Christians attended church regularly during their elementary school and middle school years. However, only 55 percent of those young evangelical Christians still attended church regularly during high school, and only 11 percent of them were still regularly attending church when they went to college.

Only 11 percent.

And that was among self-identified evangelical Christians.

But the most recent American Religious Identification Survey conducted by the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society & Culture at Trinity College was perhaps even more shocking.

According to that survey, 15% of Americans now say they have "no religion" - which is up from 8% in 1990.  However, what was much more disturbing was that 46% of Americans between the ages of 18 to 34 indicated that they had no religion in the survey.

46 percent.

That is not just a trend.

That is not just a landslide.

That is a mass exodus.

Today there is a mass exodus of America's young people from the traditional Christian faith.  There is simply no getting around it.

Another recent by the Barna group showed that less than 1 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 23 hold a Biblical worldview.

So what is a Biblical worldview?

Well, the Barna survey defined someone as holding "a Biblical worldview" if they agreed to the following six key beliefs:

1) Believing that absolute moral truth exists.
2) Believing that the Bible is completely accurate in all of the principles it teaches.
3) Believing that Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic.
4) Believing that a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or by doing good works.
5) Believing that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth.
6) Believing that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.

Using those six criteria, less than 1 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 23 hold a Biblical worldview.

The implications of this are staggering.

The truth is that the United States is quickly becoming a highly secularized nation.  Europe has already been down this road, and now America is rapidly following.

Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of churches will close as people simply quit going.  Large numbers of Christian ministries, radio stations, television shows and book stores will have to shut their doors because there will not be nearly enough people to support them.

But the most frightening thing of all is that we are losing almost an entire generation to the world.  Never before in U.S history has an entire generation rejected the gospel as much as this one has. 

America's young people are rejecting the Christian faith, and yet the Christian establishment keeps running around and telling everyone that everything is fine.

Everything is NOT fine. 

The Church in America is broken.  It is very rare to find a church where authentic Christianity is being practiced anymore.  Our young people are not stupid.  They know what is real and what is not.  If the Church in America would repent and turn back to real, authentic Christianity at least we would have a chance of capturing the attention of those young Americans who are honestly looking for the truth.

But it is not all the fault of the Church.  The truth is that we have created a society where children are taught that Christianity is not important.  Our public schools teach our children day after day after day that they evolved from monkeys, that abortion, sex before marriage and homosexuality are perfectly moral and that anyone who disagrees is a bigot.  Then they go home and they are surrounded by entertainment for the rest of the day (television, radio, video games, Internet, movies) and the overwhelming message regarding the Christian faith in these forms of entertainment is that either Christianity is irrelevant, not true or should be openly mocked.

So should we be surprised when the overwhelming majority of them reject the Christian faith?  Should we expect anything else?

We have raised our children in the godless society that we have constructed and now we are so surprised that they are godless.

But nobody should be surprised.

We are just reaping what we have sown.

What Does The Bible Say About Salvation?

Even without the new health care law, the U.S. medical industry was already looking at a shortage of doctors in the coming years.  According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the United States will likely face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years.

But that shortage does not even factor in the large number of doctors that are going to leave the industry because of the new health care law.

According to a survey published in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, nearly one-third of all practicing physicians in the United States may leave the medical profession because of the health care legislation that was just passed.

Perhaps the politicians in Washington should have listened to what the doctors had to say before they passed the health care bill.

But they didn't.

Now large number of doctors may start retiring in droves.

According to an IBD/TIPP poll of American doctors, the situation is even worse.  That survey indicated that 45 percent of U.S. doctors would consider shutting down their practices or retiring if the health care bill became law.

Just think about that.

That number is mind blowing.

Currently, there are about 960,000 doctors practicing medicine in the United States.  If a third of them DID decide to retire or quit when Obama's health care law is fully implemented, that would mean that 320,000 doctors would suddenly leave the U.S. health care system.

Now hopefully things will not be that bad in reality, but even if 100,000 doctors leave the system, it is going to cause a shortage of unprecedented magnitude.

But it is not just a shortage of doctors that we will all be facing.

The new health care law that was supposed to give all Americans much better health care is actually forcing the cancellation of at least 60 doctor-owned hospitals that were scheduled for opening according to the executive director of Physician Hospitals of America.

Why is that the case?

Well, it turns out that the new health care law singles out doctor-owned hospitals, making new physician-owned projects ineligible to receive federal payments for Medicare and Medicaid patients.

Without those payments, the new doctor-owned hospitals are not feasible.

The new health care bill has been the law of the land for just a few weeks and it has already forced the cancellation of at least 60 hospitals.

Isn't that just great?

What a wonderful new health care system we all have!

If we are not careful, we are going to destroy what was once the greatest health care system in the world.

What in the world is happening to America?

But he is far from alone.  The United States has become a nation full of socialists.  In fact, Newsweek ran a cover article a while back entitled "We Are All Socialists Now".  While that is a bit of an exaggeration, the truth is that we all need to wake up and reclaim what once made this country great. 

Perhaps if every single Obama supporter would watch this cartoon from 1948, that would be one huge step in the right direction.... 

If you are touched by Mr. Hall's letter, please send it out to as many of your friends and family as you can....

I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.

I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U . S . Senators from Illinois.

I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.

I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need.

I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.

I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I'm damn tired . But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.

Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.

It is a sad day for the American people and it is a sad day for America. 

But at least there were a few brave members of Congress that fought to the bitter end.  One of them was U.S. Rep. John Boehner.  Boehner made an impassioned plea on the floor of the House in an effort to sway votes, but it was not enough.  However, this speech by Boehner on the floor of the House on the eve of the vote will go down in history as one of the most memorable moments of this entire health care debate.  You have got to check this out....

My oh my how all of that has changed.

You know things are bad for Obama when even CNN calls him a liar. Of course it is just Jack Cafferty, but still - for a CNN personality to openly call Barack Obama a liar is just stunning.

But that is exactly what happened recently. Check it out....

But one of the saddest things that Massa had to say is that he felt completely and utterly powerless to change the system as a member of Congress.  When even a member of Congress can do absolutely nothing about the runaway corruption of the U.S. government, you know that the system is broken.

Do yourself a favor and take a couple of minutes and watch the excerpt from the interview posted below.  No matter what your political persuasion is, you have to admit that this is really, really sad....

So now many Tea Party activists are furious and are going to be working to vote out Scott Brown in the next election. All of the enthusiasm and passion that benefited him this time could very well be his undoing next time around.

Here is the letter from the disgruntled Tea Party activist....

-----

Dear Scott Brown,

You are a real piece of work, aren't you? I am a member of the Tea Party Movement that went to bat for you. I donated money, that we just didn't have, but, your words spoke of the true "change" we all wanted. I gave up countless hours in email to the good people of your state, in support of you. I worked your phone banks. You made promises that were nothing more than a lie, to get yourself elected. You are nothing more than a RINO!!!!

You voted with the commies on a jobs bill that you knew was just a fraud upon the people. And, the last straw? When I saw you prancing around endorsing Juan McAmnesty.

You, sir, are a fool. WE put you in office, and, hear me well, AH, WE will take you out just as easily. The TEA PARTY MOVEMENT grows in strength, resolve and determination. Enjoy your 2 years, Brown, because.....WE the PEOPLE are coming for you in NOV 2012!!!!!! The Tea Party Movement can make or break anyone....you are aware of this....you were recipient of our good, generous natures. YOU LIED TO US. You are the same as the rest of them, and, I think you are a sad, pathetic, small, little man.

See ya at the polls, BROWN!!!!

Also, during your 2 years in office? WE the PEOPLE will be on you at every word you speak, and, every action you choose to take. You are about to find out what being on the other side of the Tea PArty Movement is really like.

Well, apparently Obama was quite serious.

Senior administration officials are now saying that Barack Obama intends to permanently reduce America’s nuclear arsenal by "thousands" of weapons.

But shouldn't you wait until you negotiate with the other side before you declare that you intend to give up a large percentage of your weapons?

Well, apparently that is not the way things work in Obama World.

In fact, Obama's obsession with getting rid of nuclear weapons is creating quite a bit of friction between him and the boys down at the Pentagon.

On Monday, Obama met with U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to discuss the "Nuclear Posture Review" which was supposed to be published in December but which was delayed because Obama did not consider it radical enough.

Apparently the brass over at the Pentagon is very resistant to dramatically change U.S. policy regarding nuclear weapons, but Obama is very clear about what he wants.

According to one senior administration official quoted by the New York Times, Obama wants the Nuclear Posture Review to commit to a drastic reduction in the U.S. nuclear arsenal....

"It will be clear in the document that there will be very dramatic reductions — in the thousands — as relates to the stockpile."

In fact, during the campaign he very clearly told the American people that it was his intention to set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons....

Since being elected, Obama has been working hard on negotiating a new nuclear arms reduction agreement with the Russians.  Under a memorandum of joint understanding signed last July, deployed nuclear warheads for both the United States and Russia will be reduced to below 1,700 on each side within seven years of signing a new treaty.  That represents a radical reduction by both sides.

So are we likely to see a new treaty soon?

Well, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that Russia and the United States are close to completing negotiations on a new treaty on strategic arms cuts.

So it is getting close.

But besides the cuts called for in negotiations with the Russians, Obama is making unilateral pledges as well.

For example, Obama has pledged that the United States will not develop new nuclear weapons.

In addition, Obama has ended financing for a new nuclear warhead sought by the Bush administration.

In addition, there are rumors that there have been "back-channel discussions" with U.S. allies about whether to withdraw American tactical nuclear weapons from Europe.

All of this comes at  a time when strategic threats around the globe are multiplying.

Once upon a time, Russia was the only serious nuclear threat we needed to be concerned with, but now China and North Korea are very serious threats, and nations such as Iran and Venezuela could soon become very big problems as well.

At this moment, the U.S. nuclear arsenal consists of approximately 2,600 deployed nuclear warheads, with another 2,500 in reserve and 4,000 more that are scheduled to be dismantled.

But now the deal that the Obama administration is seeking to make with the Russians would reduce the nuclear arsenals of both the United States and Russia to less than 1,700 warheads, and there are those in the Obama administration that are pushing for unilateral cuts beyond even that.

This would mean that that U.S. nuclear arsenal would end up being less than 10 percent of what it was at the height of the Cold War.  Just check out the chart below....

Meanwhile, the Russian military is modernizing their tactical and strategic forces as if they were preparing for war....

*Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia must improve its space defenses as well as modernize its nuclear arsenal by 2020.

*Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday that once it has completed work on its own fifth-generation fighter, Russia must proceed with designing a "next generation" strategic bomber.

*Russia has announced plans to buy four warships from France in the biggest defense deal with a NATO member since the end of the Cold War.

But the Obama administration acts as if the Cold War is over and as if Russia poses no threat to the United States whatsoever.

In fact, the Obama administration is acting as if the U.S. really doesn't need a nuclear deterrent at all anymore.

But what if they are wrong?

The following are 10 huge flashing danger signs that show just how much of a mess the U.S. economy is in....

#1) The FDIC is opening a satellite office in the Chicago area that will accommodate up to 500 temporary staffers and contractors to manage receiverships and liquidate assets from what they are expecting will be a massive wave of failed Midwest banks.

#2) The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Tuesday that foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities fell by $53 billion in December, which is the biggest one month decline in history.  China alone reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasuries by $34.2 billion.  So if foreigners quite buying up all of our debt, what happens then?

#3) Mortgage defaults in the U.S. have continued to hit record highs and housing prices are continuing to fall.  Now, a massive "second wave" of adjustable rate mortgages is scheduled to reset beginning in 2010.  The first wave of adjustable rate mortgage resets absolutely devastated the U.S. housing market in 2007 and 2008.  So what is this second wave of mortgage resets going to do to the U.S. economy?

#4) In fact, one new study estimates that five million houses and condominiums will go through foreclosure over the next few years.  Needless to say, that would be absolutely catastrophic.

#5) The number of Americans who are declaring bankruptcy continues to skyrocket.  1.41 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009 which represented a 32 percent increase over 2008.

#6) But how can Americans pay their bills without jobs?  In some areas of the United States it is now nearly impossible to get a really good job unless you have an inside connection.  In fact, the mayor of Detroit estimates that the real unemployment rate in his city is approximately 45 to 50 percent. 

#7) America needs jobs, but soaring unemployment insurance taxes are discouraging small and mid-size companies from bringing on more workers.  According to the National Association of State Workforce Agencies, companies in at least 35 states will have to fork over even more in unemployment insurance taxes in 2010.  Making it more costly to hire a new worker is not going to help put Americans back to work. 

#8) The U.S. economy is facing a pension crisis of unprecedented magnitude.  The truth is that the vast majority of all pension funds in the United States, both public and private, are extremely underfunded.  With millions upon millions of Baby Boomers now at retirement age, there is simply no way that all of these unfunded pension obligations can be met.  Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Chicago and Joshua D. Rauh of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management recently calculated the collective unfunded pension liability for all 50 U.S. states for Forbes magazine.  So what was the total that they came up with?  3.2 trillion dollars.

#9) Not only that, but the Social Security system is also a silent monster that threatens to devastate U.S. government finances.  In fact, many analysts are now forecasting that the coming wave of Baby Boomers is going to bankrupt the entire Social Security system.

#10) All of these economic problems come at a time when the U.S. national debt is exploding into the stratosphere.  The national debt is now over 12 trillion dollars and it is rising at a rate of about 3.8 billion dollars per day.  So how much is one trillion dollars?  Well, if you spent one dollar every single second of every single day, it would take you over 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.  That is a lot of money.

The truth is that the U.S. is drowning in debt.  American consumers are broke.  American businesses are broke.  State governments are broke.  The U.S. federal government is broke.  The only way that we can keep things going is to borrow increasingly larger amounts of money.

But when we do borrow even more money we make our long-term problems even worse.

The day of reckoning for the U.S. economy is fast approaching and we are headed for some extremely difficult economic times.

Are you ready?

"I would be willing to if I believe that it's right for the country."

Video of this interview on Fox News is posted below....

That definitely does not sound like someone who is not going to run for president.

In fact, everything about Sarah Palin right now screams out that she plans to run - she is just not ready to make a formal announcement for a while.

So, she is saying the right things about other potential candidates for now.  During the Fox News interview, Palin said that there were other potential Republican candidates who are "in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they're in a better position than I in three years, I'll support them."

Recent polls have revealed that the Republican base favors her right now over other potential Republican candidates, and when Tea Party convention organizer Judson Phillips brought up the idea of "President Palin" in a question-and-answer session after Sarah Palin's speech, members of the audience reportedly leaped to their feet and started chanting "Run, Sarah, Run."

So will Sarah Palin run for president in 2012?

Yes.

Not only is she snuggling up to the Tea Party movement, she is also out actively endorsing other Republican candidates and plans to be an active campaigner during the 2010 campaign season.

If she was "retiring" from politics she would not be aggressively out there like this.

Everything she is doing is laying the groundwork for 2012.

But if for some reason Sarah Palin does not run in 2012, when will she run?

Never.

In American politics, you must run while you are hot.

Do you think people like Bob Dole, John Kerry, Dan Quayle or Michael Dukakis would have a prayer of getting elected to the presidency now?

No.

But at one time all of those guys were hot and they all had realistic chances of becoming president.

It is all about striking while the iron is hot.

That is what Barack Obama did.

2012 is Sarah Palin's chance.

Either she gets elected then, or it is almost certainly over for her.

That is the reality of American politics.

She is one of the most polarizing figures in the history of American politics already, but the truth is that right now Sarah Palin is very hot with the Tea Party crowd.

2012 is her shot - if she is willing to go for it.

And she will be.

But she may not be the only conservative female running in 2012.

Michele Bachmann is also a huge Tea Party favorite and she is lurking in the background and is evaluating what direction the political winds are blowing.  Already there are websites that are urging her to run for president in 2012.  She has a ton of support among conservatives and she is getting a ton of face time on the news channels.

So could we see a Palin vs. Bachmann duel for the Republican nomination?

You never know.

Or perhaps they will end up joining forces and running together.

Stranger things have happened.

Well, where I come from if it walks like a duck and if it quacks like a duck then we call it a duck.

So is Barack Obama a socialist?

-Obama believes that the government should run the economy and he has already taken over some of America's biggest corporations and has given government bailouts to many of the biggest banks.

*Check

-Obama believes in big government and he is expanding the number of people working for the U.S. government to over 2 million people this year.

*Check

-Obama believe in raising taxes and in massively increasing government spending.

*Check

-Obama has almost got his government takeover of the U.S. health care system pushed through Congress.

*Check

-Obama is pushing a "cap and trade" carbon tax scheme on the American people that would give the U.S. government unprecedented control over U.S. businesses and over the intimate details of our personal lives.

*Check

-Among Obama's mentors during his formative years were some of the most radical socialists and communists in recent U.S. history.

*Check

-Obama is continuing to build the Big Brother police state infrastructure that other administrations started which is stripping away our civil liberties and turning us into whimpering servants of the almighty central government.  This is exactly what other major totalitarian socialist governments throughout history have done.

*Check

If you study history, the parallels between what is going on right now in the United States and what happened during the rise of other socialist regimes throughout history is absolutely stunning.

The truth is that the America that we all grew up in is systematically being dismantled.  Once it is gone it will almost be impossible to get back.  We encourage you to visit our new blog entitled The End Of The American Dream where we will be exploring the destruction of the American ideal and how this is going to impact all of us in the years ahead.

What in the world?

Didn't conservatives and tea party activists just spend weeks working their butts off to get this guy elected?

The truth is that we have been duped again.

During a recent interview, Scott Brown told Barbara Walters that he is pro-choice.

Brown went on to explain, however, that he is "different" from other pro-choicers because he wants to "reduce" the number of abortions.

Wait - isn't that the line that Obama always uses?

Yup.

That truth is that we have been duped again.

During the same interview, Brown told Walters the following about gay marriage....

And on the marriage issue that you brought up, it's settled here in Massachusetts, but I believe that states should have the ability to determine their own destiny and the government should not be interfering with individual states' rights on issues that they deal with on a daily basis.

So Scott Brown is perfectly okay with Massachusetts or any other state deciding to legalize gay marriage?

No, that is not conservative.

No, that is not okay.

The truth is that we have been duped again.

Scott Brown is not a conservative.

He hasn't even been seated yet, and yet he has already told Republican leaders that there are going to be times when he will be voting with the Democrats.

Wow!  That sure does not sound like a conservative revolution at all.

It does not appear that Scott Brown is anything like the hardcore conservative that will be fighting tooth and nail to stop the Obama agenda that may tea party activists thought that they were electing.

The reality is that Scott Brown is going to be one of the most liberal Republicans in the history of the party.

In Washington D.C. we seem to have two parties now - the Democrats and the "not quite as radically liberal" Democrats.

True conservatives are a dying breed in Washington.

The truth is that we have been duped again.

When are we going to learn that we should never cast a single vote for any candidate who is pro-abortion?

Ever.

It doesn't matter how many tax cuts you pass - if the United States continues to kill about a million babies a year by abortion we are not going to be blessed.

There have been approximately 50 million babies murdered in the abortion mills of America since Roe v. Wade in 1973. 

Blood is on the hands on this nation.

If we do not stop it now, when are we going to stop it?

The truth is that we are going to reap what we sow.

The only hope for a turnaround in the United States is for a radical moral awakening to take place.

And electing pro-abortion Republicans to Congress is not going to help one ounce.

Electing Scott Brown was not a victory.

It was a disgrace to the Republican party.

If you don't think that your circle of friends has seen this letter yet, please send it out to them.  What this 95 year old World War 2 veteran wrote in his letter to Barack Obama is absolutely amazing.  You have to admit that his mind is still quite sharp after all of these years.  The following is the text of the letter that 95 year old Harold Estes wrote to Barack Obama....

****

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: "We're no longer a Christian nation" "America is arrogant" -- (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean- spirited." Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said, "America hasn’t lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Seriously.

Apparently the goal of such a plan would be to raise "tens of billions of dollars" which would then be used to "transfer" pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing capabilities to the developing world.

Transfer them from where?

Places like the United States?

So let's get this straight. 

According to the WHO global tax plan, they want to do the following three things....

#1) Take away research, development and manufacturing jobs from us and give them to the developing world at a time when we can least afford it.

#2) Give much more money and power to the idiots who brought us the global swine flu scare of 2009.

#3) Make us pay for all of it.

The World Health Organization's "Expert Working Group" is also thinking of asking wealthy nations such as the United States to set aside fixed portions of their gross domestic product to finance the shift in worldwide research and development.

What in the world?

No, we do not want a global tax.

No, we do not want to redistribute our wealth.

We've got a big enough debt problem right now without the WHO trying to dip their greedy little fingers into our pockets.

Thanks to Obama and the U.S. Congress we are already flat broke as a nation.

So does anyone think that it is a remotely good idea to give billions of extra U.S. tax dollars to the WHO?

But the truth is that some nations are already taxing their citizens for the benefit of the WHO.

A program known as UNITAID was started in 2006.  The goal of UNITAID is to battle HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the globe.  This program is financed by a "solidarity contribution" levy of anywhere from $1.20 to $58 on airline tickets.

Ouch!

The nations already imposing this tax include France, Brazil, Chile, Norway and the U.K.

Apparently it has already raised around a billion dollars, and the WHO says that more countries are getting involved. 

The truth is that this is yet another reason why the United States needs to leave the United Nations.

Not reform it.

Not try to get it to change.

The U.S. needs to pull out of the United Nations and never look back.

Otherwise, there are going to be relentless attempts to impose global taxes, global rules, global regulations and global mandates on the American people.

But we do not want global government.

We never have and we never will.

The Democrats are taxing us dry already.  Just how bad would things be if we let a bunch of global bureaucrats dig around in our pockets?

Do you think that we are being too dramatic?  Just watch the video posted below. Someone out there has taken the time to break down section after section of this nightmare bill and explain what it is going to mean for America and for each of us individually. We challenge anyone to watch this video and then try to explain to us how our lives are going to be better after this bill passes....

The truth is that we would be far better off if the entire U.S. Congress would simply go home and take the rest of the year off.

How in the world can they give us a health care "reform" bill that gives us fewer choices, higher taxes, health care rationing and unprecedented U.S. government control over everything?  And this thing is also going to cost trillions of dollars and put our nation even farther into debt?

We don't want it!

Isn't the fact that a Republican is on the verge of winning a U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts (of all places) enough of a signal to the Democrats that they need to back way off?

The truth is that the American people would be far happier if this Congress would spend their days getting drunk and taking naps.  At least that way they would not be busy screwing up all of our lives.

That is the best that the American people can hope for out of this Congress - that they would do absolutely nothing. 

The picture below is of this Congress doing their best work....

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.

Only 36 percent of those polled agreed with this statement: "some of the government's proposals will go too far in restricting the public's civil liberties."

So are Americans really this stupid?

Have they really been brainwashed into willingly giving up their essential liberties just so they can feel a little safer?

Maybe they have.

After all, a new USA TODAY/Gallup poll says that 78 percent of Americans approve of the new full body scanners that the U.S. government wants to install in all U.S. airports.

So almost 4 out of 5 Americans are perfectly fine with letting airport security officials gawk at their naked bodies just so they can feel a bit safer from terrorists.

How sick is that?

The truth is that when Americans allow themselves to become so wimpy and so fearful that they are willing to throw many of their most important freedoms out the window, those responsible for the terror scares have won.

In fact, Amerika (formerly America) is very quickly becoming a brutal police state where privacy is a thing of the past and where free speech and alternative points of view are openly repressed.

For example, in a 2008 academic paper President Barack Obama's appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated "cognitive infiltration" of groups that advocate "conspiracy theories".

Infiltration of groups with alternative viewpoints that the government doesn't like?

Do we live in East Germany?

Apparently we do.

Americans do not care about their freedoms and liberties anymore, so now they are being taken away.

And apparently the message of the most recent polls is that Americans are perfectly fine with that.
