"Mr. Paine" is correct. WE THE PEOPLE must TAKE BACK what is rightfully ours. WE lent the politicians the power and they have abused it. It is our right, nay, our DUTY, to reclaim that power before it is abused any furthur.

On April 15, 2009 there will be a number of "Tea Parties" all across America to protest the slide towards Socialism this Administration is enacting. I urge each and every one of you to try to find the Tea Party event nearest you and attend it.

Our beloved Republic is under attack from without, but even more seriously, from within. It is the DUTY of every Citizen to come to the fore and protect this greatest experiment in human history; politically for now, but with force of arms if need be.

Lloyd Marcus has written a theme song that might provide you some inspiration:

Our Forefathers had the courage of their convictions to stand up to a tyrannical government and they left us the mechanisms to prevent such a government from reoccurring, but we have been lax in our vigilance. We have allowed the creeping fingers of Socialism to start to choke the life out of our Republic.
The current Administration's policies are contrary to every Principle that our Forefathers fought and died for.

We the People are being yoked to a national debt that couldn't be repaid by our great-grandchildren's time (Taxation without representation sound familiar?).

We are being restrained in matters of private business by excessive and onerous regulation without true redress to the government (sound familiar?),

The current Administration has made no secret of it's intention to radically restrict the private Citizen's right to to maintain and BEAR arms (for those that weren't listening on that day in American History class, the "shot heard 'round the world" in Concord Mass. was a direct result of the British Army marching to the city with the intent to confiscate the arms held by private Citizens).

There is still a small amount of time to peacefully forestall the encroachments on our Liberties, BUT, if we don't act fast and en-masse it will take force of arms to restore those Liberties to us.

Our Forefathers revolted against repression and tyranny, now it is Our time to do the same.

I pray we still have the courage and convictions of our Forefathers.

PS. I'll make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

If you are interested in a synopsis of what our government is SUPPOSED to be, go listen to the Wimp. Be sure to turn up your speakers and LISTEN.

I advise every parent expose their children to this exposition; they aren't learning this in school the government indoctrination centers anymore.

All through the right wing blogosphere there is a very disturbing rumor that the Obama Administration has granted the People's Republic of China a huge concession to continue borrowing funds from the PRC; here is the rumor verbatim as it's being circulated:

"Beijing, China — Sources at the United States Embassy in Beijing China have just CONFIRMED to me that the United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the People’s Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for China’s continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves!"

"The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China."

"This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take — inside the USA — land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities - to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government."

This has appeared on a number of right wing political sites and is accompanied by the attendant hysterical blather about black helicopters/FEMA concentration camps/OWO plots, etc,etc.

I don't believe that this rumor is true, for the simple reason that even Barry O wouldn't be THAT blatently stupid. If he wanted to trigger the second Civil War, that would be the surest, and quickest, way to do it.
EVEN the 52% Sheeple would revolt at that action.

Granting eminent domain authority to a foreign government is simply incomprehensibly stupid and blatently unconstitutional on the face of it.

The fear I DO have is that this SOUNDS like something Barry & CO. would propose; it makes me wonder if its part of a disinformation operation by the government for intel gathering purposes....and even that sounds like paranoia, even to me.

To paraphrase an old Chinese curse; we do, indeed, live in interesting times.
