Radical Ideas Resonate With the People

Ron Paul's blimp

While I still worked for a living, one of my engineers asked me who I was voting for. I answered “the most conservative candidate.”

“Oh, are you voting for Ron Paul?”

At the time, Ron Paul was a no name to me. I didn’t have clue about him or his background. Today, I know a bit more, but still not enough. Paul continues as a favorite in the Iowa polls. Why? I’ve tried to get answers from friends, and they tell me he has some radical ideas and is dangerous to the country. So why does he continue to show so well in polls during the primary campaign?

It is my belief that the man’s ideas resonate with the average person. So what are the ideas presumed so radical, and why do they strike such a strong appeal to we the people?

I had to read several articles to decide for myself what ideas Paul promotes. After doing so, I concluded the ideas are not so radical, and they appeal to me too. A few months ago I took one of those ten question tests to find where I stood on my political beliefs. Before this test, I considered myself a conservative; surprise, I tested strongly libertarian. Ron Paul is also a libertarian. Another person whose ideas and commentary I love is former ABC, and now Fox commentator  John Stoessel. Stoessel is a libertarian who regularly exposes how when government gets involved things go seriously wrong.

Here are the Paul ideas that my friends consider radical:

1. A balanced budget, (Not radical)

2. Obey the Constitution, (Radical only to Progressives and Socialists)

3. Cut One trillion dollars from Federal spending in his first year of presidency, (Radical only to Democrats)

4. Iran is politically no different from any other country, (Yes, radical even to me)

5. All wars approved by the US Congress (In the current Constitution)

6. Remove sanctions from Iran, (I’m not sure on this one)

7. Establish a non-interventionist foreign policy, (Radical to US politicians)

8. Eliminate the Federal Reserve, (Radical to big banking)

9. Withdraw from the United Nations, (Not radical)

10. End the Cuban embargo, (No longer radical)

11. Repeal the Patriot Act. (Not radical)

Out of this list of eleven ideas I see four that may be perceived as radical.  How do you feel about items 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10?

Four out of the five (6,7,9,10) listed are foreign policy issues, the fourth (8) is a banking issue.

Yet, the people of Iowa seem okay with these proposals? My wife often tells me we have no business in Iraq, Afghanistan, or in giving money to foreign governments to see them use it against us. Does that sound familiar to items 6, 7, & 9?

Maybe our foreign policy of past years has been the reason for the mid-Eastern countries hating the USA so much, and if we get the hell out of there they can go about their business of converting the world to Islam. Or, they might just be so happy with their new lives they will convert to capitalism.

I see Ron Paul resonating with common people because they like to hear him say things like obey the constitution, cut a trillion dollars in spending, balance the budget, or go back to the gold standard. The common guy who still believes in working for a living, while supporting government employees with the same labor, like to hear those ideas because they are the ideas the common guy lives by.

The real question, however, is not whether Ron Paul’s ideas are radical, or whether he resonates with the people, but rather can he beat Obama?

I don’t believe Dr Paul will be our next president, but I applaud him for awakening America by passionately discussing his libertarian values.

Shadow Government-Continued

Posted on 21/07/2011 by Grumpa Joe

This is a continuation of yesterday’s post What the Heck is a Shadow Government?

Do you know what these organizations are? I bet you have heard them mentioned in news articles and in advertising, and even received mail from them asking for money.

  1. Shadow Party
  2. The Project of Death in America
  3. Open Society Institute
  4. Pew Charitable Trusts
  5. National Public Radio
  6. ACORN
  7. American Supremacy no one problem facing world
  8. America Coming Together
  9. Center for American Progress, John Podesta

10. MoveOn.org

11. America Votes

12. Media Fund

13. Joint Victory Campaign 2004

14. The Thunder Road Group- Nerve center of Shadow Party

15. America Votes Coalition:

  1. ACORN
  2. AFL-CIO
  3. American Federation of Teachers
  4. The Association of Trial Lawyers
  5. The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
  6. Emily’s List
  7. Human Rights Campaign
  8. League of Conservation Voters
  9. NAACP
  10. NARAL
  11. Pro-Choice America
  12. National Education Association
  13. People for the American Way
  14. Planned Parenthood
  15. SEIU
  16. Sierra Club

16. Democracy Alliance

17. New Democrat Network

18. Air America

19. Colorado Democracy Alliance

20. Working For Us (SEIU)

21. Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN)

22. Secretary of State Project

23. Midwest Academy

24. J Street

George Soros initiated or funded all of the organizations listed.  Notice how the names do not indicate what their purpose is. Most are in business to funnel money toward leftist candidates, provide volunteers to campaigns for leftist candidates, formulate leftist policy, smear conservative candidates, stifle free speech, and in general to push very liberal ideas into the minds of people young and old for the purpose of transforming the country into a socialist state.

Here are some examples of Shadow Party successes:

  1. McCain-Feingold Act (Campaign Finance Reform) This law enabled the Shadow Party to wrestle control of money from the Democratic National Committee. The DNC now dances to the tunes of George Soros.
  2. Colorado Miracle, a major effort during the 2008 election in the state of Colorado to sway Independent and Republican votes to Obama. It is called Miracle because Colorado was traditionally a solid Republican state.
  3. Secretary of State Project. After the debacle in Florida between Gore and Bush in which the Republican Secretary of State, finally decided the election, Soros initiated a new effort called the Secretary of State Project which funnels money and resources into election campaigns of Democrat Secretary of States. Al Franken’s win in Minnesota is considered a success because of the Democrat Secretary of State elected via this project.
  4. Soros recommended the Stimulus package to Obama who bought it hook line and sinker.

Here is a partial list of Obama’s advisors:

  • Van Jones—Came from the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights a Soros supported organization.
  • Carol Browner, Environment Czar, served on the board of directors for three Soros funded organizations.
  • David Axelrod, Obama’s Advisor received money from the Shadow Party’s Media Fund.
  • Anna Burger, appointed to Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board came from the Democracy Alliance.
  • Kevin Jennings, Education Czar came from a Soros funded organization for gays.

Had Obama been honest with the American people and openly discussed his vision for transforming the greatest country in the world into a socialist state under the direction of George Soros he would have lost the election by ninety percent.

Now, because of his vague melodic campaign rhetoric, we are stuck with the man and his policies. Even if we elect a 100% conservative Republican President, Senate, and Congress in 2012, it will take us a 100 years to undo the damage inflicted by Obama and his radical socialist ilk.

I only wish I could live for another hundred years to continue the fight.

What the Heck is Shadow Government?

Posted on 20/07/2011 by Grumpa Joe

In March of 2010, I published a cartoon of Obama as a marionette being manipulated by George Soros. At the time, I was only suspicious of an alliance between the two, now I am convinced it is true.

What brings me to this realization? A little book (56 pp) titled “From Shadow Party to Shadow Government,” written by David Horowitz and John Perazzo.

The book was a gift from a very good friend. I’m not so sure how good he is anymore because after reading his gift twice, I do not sleep well.

Do you remember when Obama Care came to the Congress in it’s two thousand plus pages of glory? Did you ever wonder how Congress came up with such a complex document in so little time? Did you wonder how, if they had written the bill why none of the members knew what the heck was in it? I can ask the same questions about the TARP bill, and the Stimulus Bill and the answers all point to ”Shadow Government.”

A wicked man by the name of George Soros has been organizing and orchestrating a Shadow Party which would become the Shadow Government since before the Clinton Administration.  He has clandestinely established multiple organizations whose sole purpose is to overtake the U.S.A. and establish a totalitarian state. He allied himself with Obama in 2006 and has manipulated his agenda through the President ever since. George Soros is in Obama’s head.

This little book exposes twenty-eight organizations founded or funded by George Soros. Most are an part of the Shadow Party.

Another question mulling through my feeble mind, where did Obama come up with the weirdo’s he appointed as czars? The answer is, they came from the many Soros organizations referred to above.

Before I started writing this post, I checked out David Horowitz. It turns out his parents were Marxist, and he had Marxist leanings himself. Somewhere in his life he rejected Marxism and now champions against all form of Marxism. Mr. Horowitz sees George Soros as a man committed to transforming America into a totalitarian state.  In other words, George Soros is EVIL.

The people of the Tea Party can see it and feel it. They sense the transformation toward Marxism. They want no part of it. They want to retake America and reestablish the core values that make America great. They see Obama taking us down piece by piece. Obama, and his brain George Soros also see that. Did you ever wonder why there is such a huge movement to discredit the Tea Party Movement and Conservatives like Chris Christie, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman? These are the kind of Americans the Progressive movement fears the most.

If you are any bit curious about the issues raised above, check out this website:        http:// www.discoverthenetworks.org       If the facts presented there do not scare you just a little, you may be a member of the Shadow Party.

Grumpa Joe’s Prayer for the United States of America!

Posted on 03/07/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Happy 235th Birthday America.

One thing strikes me about this photo. The quote from Corinthians “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” It tells me that the basic roots of our country were derived from a concept that is more than two thousand years old.  How can we not be a Christian Nation? Where was Mohamed in 54 A.D. when Saint Paul penned this verse?

Here is Grumpa Joe’s prayer for the United States of America!

Dear God, I thank You for giving us President Barack Hussein Obama. Without him, we would be taking our freedoms for granted. Obama has awakened us to just how  fragile our Republic is, and to how quickly we can lose that which you have granted us; freedom and liberty.

Help us O’ Lord to overcome the hope and change of transformation into a communist socialist progressive world in which human liberty is forsaken for social change that make men slaves to the annointed. Let us renew our faith in God that we might remain free.

Amen
