Give 'Em The Boot Campaign

With gas prices at $4 per gallon and rising cost of products due to high oil prices, Congress has decided to go on a 5 week paid vacation. Nancy Pelosi would not allow a vote on more drilling and tapping into our own natural resources. More drilling is necessary to sustain our security and American way of life. With Russia attacking others to expand their empire; With Iran &Venezuela being openly hostile to the USA and other democracies around the world, we need to rely on our own resources rather than the resources of our enemy countries. Send Pelosi, Reed, and your congressperson who voted to go on vacation a message to cancel their vacation and allow an up or down vote on drilling for more oil in the USA. Not a vote on "Comprehensive Energy Bill" because that will be used to limit drilling for more oil. If you are as displeased with them as I am on this issue, take a pair of your old smelly boots (or shoes/flip flops) and send one to Nancy Pelosi and one to Harry Reed. Send the message; "You stink and if you don't allow an up or down vote on drilling, you will get the boot." You can also of course send a boot to your congressperson with the same message. The few voices chose to forego their vacation and stay in Washington to attempt to make accomplishments on this important issue need our support. Our voices shall be heard. We the People, not the government are the decision makers. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed are infringing on our fundamental Constitutional Right of We The People through our representatives to govern this country. Pelosi is only one voice in the Congress and Reed is only one voice in the senate and they represent only one area of this country. They are infringing on our rights by blocking a bill for more drilling to come to the floor for a vote. This country is not a Pelosi-Reed dictatorship. Make sure your voice is heard - Give 'em the Boot!

Obama's Radical Roots And Rules

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Thursday, August 14, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Most Americans revile socialism, yet Barack Obama's poll numbers remain competitive. One explanation: He's a longtime disciple of a man whose mission was to teach radicals to disguise their ideology.

IBD Series: The Audacity Of Socialism

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's choice of the word "change" as his campaign's central slogan is not the product of focus-group studies, or the brainstorming sessions of his political consultants.
One of Obama's main inspirations was a man dedicated to revolutionary change that he was convinced "must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, nonchallenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future."
Saul Alinsky, circa 1946: Like Obama, he wanted "change."
Sen. Obama was trained by Chicago's Industrial Areas Foundation, founded in 1940 by the radical organizer Saul Alinsky. In the 1980s, Obama spent years as director of the Developing Communities Project, which operated using Alinsky's strategies, and was involved with two other Alinsky-oriented entities, Acorn and Project Vote.
On the Obama campaign Web site can be found a photo of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom with "Power Analysis" and "Relationships Built on Self Interest" written on the blackboard — key terms utilized in the Alinsky method.
The far-left Alinsky had no time for liberalism or liberals, declaring that "a liberal is (someone) who puts his foot down firmly on thin air." He wanted nothing less than transformational radicalism. "America was begun by its radicals," he wrote. "America was built by its radicals. The hope and future of America lies with its radicals." And so, "This is the job for today's radical — to fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame to fight. To say, '. . . let us change it together!' "

Young Obama's Red Mentor

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Tuesday, August 05, 2008 4:20 PM PT

The mainstream media have finally gotten around to revealing Barack Obama's early mentor. But they've downplayed the mystery man's communist background.

IBD Series: The Audacity Of Socialism

As noted in the July 29 curtain-raiser to this series, the seeds of Obama's far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager growing up in Hawaii — and they were far more radical than any biography or media profile has portrayed.
Poet-journalist Davis speaks in Hawaii in this undated photo.
A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to the age of 18 — a man he refers to only as "Frank" — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."
In a belated story on the relationship, the Associated Press describes Davis as "left-leaning."
In fact, Davis was a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, according to the 1953 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities of the Territory of Hawaii, which labeled him "a bitter opponent of capitalism." The report was introduced as evidence in the U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee hearings probing the "Scope of Soviet Activity in the United States."
"Davis scholars dismiss the idea that he was anti-American," the AP reports. But one of them, ex-University of Hawaii professor Kathryn Takara, acknowledges in a Ph.D. paper on Davis (not quoted by AP) that he'd been fingered as "a Communist."
Davis wrote militant poems as a black writer in Chicago, including one in which he hails the Soviet revolution: "Smash on, victory-eating Red Army." He also attacked traditional Christianity, titling one inflammatory screed, "Christ is a Dixie N*****."

Obamanomics Flunks The Test

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Friday, August 01, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Barack Obama the lawyer-organizer could use a crash course in economics. His economic plan's assumptions, based on long-discredited Marxist theories, are wildly wrongheaded.

IBD Series: The Audacity Of Socialism

In arguing for a heavier mix of government, he assumes that capitalism unfairly favors the rich, almost exclusively so, and fails to spread prosperity.
"The rich in America have little to complain about," he carps. "The distribution of wealth is skewed, and levels of inequality are now higher than at any time since the Gilded Age."
Obama cites data showing a yawning gap between the income of the average worker and the wealthiest 1%. He thinks it's government's job to step in and close it — "for purposes of fairness" — by soaking the rich, among other leftist nostrums.
