If you are pleased with the direction America is heading, DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Yuri Bezmenov
by onmyway02

The story of Yuri Bezmenov may be the holy grail of playbooks used to fight communism. It's right there. The time has come for all of us to not only take note of what is happening to our Country, but to fight against it...

We are clearly all in this mess together. Liberals take notice: you are being used as pawns. While liberals and conservatives may never see eye to eye, nobody wants what is coming. I promise. The time may be coming for liberals and conservatives to set aside their extreme differences and fight for their right to fight with one another. Yep, that's correct, in a Marxist society your political party won't matter. How does that make you feel?

Gay, Chicago, Hillary Fans Praising Bush?

Hard to imagine right? Read this posting that was sent to me recently. Could this be a small sign that we are starting to turn the corner and see things for what they really are rather than fluff? Who better to watch for the no BS, tell it like it is, don't feed me a line reaction than the military? Check out this VIDEO and think about what you are seeing and why...

Warning Signs? Nope. None.

In the process of picking up the pieces from the Ft. Hood shooting some very interesting information has risen to the surface.

"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than
the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is
accountable for his actions. "
-Ronald Reagan

Here is what we know: Nidal Hasan (the killer) attended the 'Kill'een Mosque in Virginia where Anwar al-Awlaki was a cleric in 2001. We also know that Anwar al-Awlaki had contact with at least two of the 9/11 hijackers. Hmm...probably just a coincidence because there aren't that many Muslims in the US? So one degree of separation from 9/11 hijackers. Really? Now, in all fairness, Anwar al-Awlaki probably advises hundreds of people in a position such as his (and hey, a few terrorists might be in the mix). Ok, we also know that there were roughly 10-20 correspondence between Hasan and al-Awlaki after al-Awlaki had fled to Yemen. President Obama said "people should not jump to conclusions about what happened at Fort Hood". Much like rushing to conclusions about how the Cambridge Police acted "stupidly". It is also known that the picture that was portrayed of Hasan by al-Awlaki as a good Muslim man searching for a nice woman, was not quite accurate. Hasan had become somewhat of a regular client at the small Starz strip club.

Clearly, there were some things that might have caught the attention of JTTF (Join Terrorism Task Force), FBI or the military. While it is not clear whether or not there was a communication breakdown between departments or rather the information gathered was simply not worth looking into any further. Either way, the murderous day took place and that merits some thorough investigation.

Muggers Return Wallet After Seeing Army ID (Associated Press)

An amazing story. It sure is good to know there is still honor among thieves. Should these criminals be treated any differently for their show of appreciation?

Heroes Remembered-"Currahee" (we stand alone)

When I listen to men like Major Dick Winters it reminds me of the general attitude of our uniformed men and women. While exceptions do exist, the self-less concern for one's fellow man seems to permeate all branches of our military. Today the men and women who have proudly served our Country are remembered. Below is a video displaying the personal photos from our troops overseas.



I want to thank each and every one of you for your bravery, sacrifice and courage in defending our great nation...

Character; not found on the teleprompter

George W. and Laura Bush visit Ft. Hood

President Obama decides to visit Camp David for some relaxation

You can certainly learn a lot about about a person when no one is looking. When Obama watched the 18 flag-draped caskets return from Afghanistan, a look of concern masked his purposeful face. Carefully positioned cameras capture every painful moment.

Some might questions Obama's sincerity in making an appearance at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Why? Well, Obama has maintained his omnipresence when the cameras are rolling, yet fails to make the grade when he is needed most. Perhaps the 17 out of 18 family's rejection of the President's offer to mourn is an indication of how 'transparent' our leader's agenda has become. The office of President, once defined by its holder's "character" is now occupied by a seemingly polished cardboard cutout.

I question whether or not our Country deserves men of character such as Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt. These men led with confidence and made decisions based on what was "right" for America, not how their decisions would be "viewed" by our world's citizens. In the humble opinion of your blog's author, "I would sooner elect the baby from the 'e-trade' commercials than our current Commander in Chief. "

I will leave you with this one question: is President Obama a man of Character or simply a hollow casing of presidents past?

Doodoo Scozzafava-From the movie 'Misery'?

Well, whether or not you were Kathy Bates' body double in the movie 'Misery', you certainly did bring plenty of it to Republicans in NY23. In fact, with this debacle you recently pulled off I question what Republican means anymore. A left-wing liberal Republican? Hang on, is that like an arsonist firefighter? A mass murdering paramedic?

Congratulations. You have just become the poster-queen/king for the ever weakening Republican Party. My hope is that you finally awoke a sleeping giant. Conservatives take note: We need true Republicans to step up to the plate and restore order with the party and ultimately the Country.

Be honest Scuzzafava, did you plan this all along?

Terrorism. An inside job?

I do recall a certain terrorist making a claim that America would be brought to its knees from within. I must credit the strategy of these terrorists in taking the "melting pot" and dumping it back on America's proverbial head . My question is this, "does anybody realize the tactic?". It sounds like an absurdly obvious Q and A. However, what I see is frightening.

I recently watched a disturbing video that was aired by PBS (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/obamaswar/view/special.html). I would encourage everyone to watch this. The video explained the most recent strategy in Afghanistan; protect the citizens of the country from the Taliban at the expense of US soldiers (i.e. you may shoot when you have been shot).

Has our President actually convinced the general population that it is actually "un-PC" to say bad guys exist? Has everyone lost sight of the concept of good vs. evil? Perhaps. The US is still in this war to make our Country a safer place right? Sometimes that means using force when force has been used on us. Is the term "war" soon going to be used to simply "occupy" or "restructure" a nation we think might need a little help? War means war. We use force to protect our Country when our safety is in jeopardy (that's still ok right?).

How can we effectively find the terrorists among us when we are more concerned about feelings than physical harm?
Help me understand our strategy.

ILLEGAL Aliens. What now?

Ok, so we are faced with a real problem. We have over twenty million people living in the United States that are here illegally.

Perhaps one of the things that makes our Country one of the greatest in the world is the fact that people from every nation can become a permanent citizen and raise a family here. I love this. What I do NOT love is the lack of adherence to a very appropriate naturalization process.

When I say I am against illegal immigrants staying in this Country, I am not in any way suggesting I do not want people from other nations becoming my neighbor. In fact I encourage it. I buy groceries, legally. I drive my car, legally. I vote, legally. Why? Because there would be penalties if I stole my groceries, ran someone over, or tampered with my ballot. Penalties.

We do understand that penalties prevent behavior and rewards encourage that same behavior right?

Welcome to the Raw Deal....

Greetings fellow Americans. (please forgive me for only offering this blog in English--my hope is that your desire to participate will be a driving force in learning our native tongue...)

Let me first say, I am not a professional blogger, politician, famous celebrity or president...of anything. I am just a guy. A guy who loves his Country and wants it back. I would also like to get a few things clear as this is my first entry in what hopes to be a fair, free-speaking and honest forum constructed to house the ideas that may in some small way help this great Country get back on its feet. First, I will always read your posts (and often add my two cents. Second, don't be a donkey (absolutely no pun intended).

Moreover, you may not like my ideas, you may not agree with them, you may even hate me for them. However, the only thing I ask is that you back it up. Fair? Fair.

Now, let me open the discussion to all who have ideas worth hearing. Topics? Hmm....let's begin with the current state of our Nation; Do we need an entirely new health care system? Does the President have a responsibility to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States (disregarding the fact that he has sworn to do so)? Does Deval need a new Cadillac? Does Martha Coakley have enough foreign policy experience to sit as a US Senator based on her vacations? I welcome your thoughts....
