Dear readers,
I have had some ongoing debate over whether I should or should not keep this blog going. Now I am not trying to sound like any kind of conspiracy theorist here, but, in light of some recent FCC voting practices, the time we have left may be limited. So I will do my best to keep up with the on-goings of current affairs.
I apologize for my silence as of late and hope to see you all have a Merry Christmas. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at thesecondamendmentman@gmail.com.
Thank you,
John

The Change Obama Promised is Coming! Part 3
This is the conclusion of this series. Here is the third wave of tax changes that we are to expect next year.
Third Wave:The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and Employer Tax Hikes:
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise - the AMT won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired.
The major items include:The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year:
According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families - rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear:
Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or "depreciate") equipment purchases up to $250,000.
This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can currently expense half of their purchases of equipment.
In January of 2011, all of it will have to be "depreciated."
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses:
There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the "research and experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced:
The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.
Tax credits for education will be limited.
Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.
Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.
The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed:
Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA.
This contribution also counts toward an annual "required minimum distribution." This ability will no longer be there.
And worse yet? Now, your insurance will be INCOME on your W2's!
One of the surprises we'll find come next year, is what follows - - a little "surprise" that 99% of us had no idea was included in the "new and improved" healthcare legislation . . . the dupes, er, dopes, who backed this administration will be astonished!
Starting in 2011, (next year folks), your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or governmental body of some sort.
If you're retired, so what... your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.
You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have never seen. Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year.
For many, it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.
This is how the government is going to buy insurance for the15% that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.
Not believing this??? Here is a research of the summaries....
On page 25 of 29: TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001, as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002 "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employees gross income."- Joan Pryde is the senior tax editor for the Kiplinger letters.

The Change Obama Promised is Coming! Part 2
Yesterday I posted for you the changes in our taxes that we face next year. Today is the second wave of taxes that we are to face.
Second Wave:OBAMACAREThere are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The "Medicine Cabinet Tax":
Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
The "Special Needs Kids Tax":
This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.
There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States , and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education.
Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. National Child Research Center ) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars cannot be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike:
This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
*Stay tuned tomorrow for the Second wave of tax hikes expected next year!*

The Change Obama Promised is Coming! Part 1
Great information - is a bit long, but necessary.
Finally, the CHANGE he promised us is coming JANUARY 1, 2011 in just three months, on January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect.
They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves.
On January 1, 2011, here's what happens... (read it to the end, so you see all three waves)...
First Wave:Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief:
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families.
These will all expire on January 1, 2011.
Personal income tax rates will rise:
The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed).
The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.
All the rates in between will also rise.
Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates:
The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
* The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
* The 25% bracket rises to 28%
* The 28% bracket rises to 31%
* The 33% bracket rises to 36%
* The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%.
Higher taxes on marriage and family:
The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.
The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child.
The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level.
The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax:
This year only, there is no death tax. (It's a quirk!)
For those dying on or after January 1, 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes, a business, a retirement account, could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones. Think of the farmers who don't make much money, but their land, which they purchased years ago with after-tax dollars, is now worth a lot of money. Their children will have to sell the farm, which may be their livelihood, just to pay the estate tax if they don't have the cash sitting around to pay the tax.
Think about your own family's assets. Maybe your family owns real estate, or a business that doesn't make much money, but the building and equipment are worth $1 million. Upon their death, you can inherit the $1 million business tax free, but if they own a home, stock, cash worth $500K on top of the $1 million business, then you will owe the government $275,000 cash! That's 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million!
Do you have that kind of cash sitting around waiting to pay the estate tax?
Higher tax rates on savers and investors:
The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011.
The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011.
These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
*Stay tuned tomorrow for the Second wave of tax hikes expected next year!*

Something Light for the Evening
˜Twas the night before elections, And all through the town
Tempers were flaring, Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe, With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV, Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden, There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window, Saw Obama and his boys.
They had come for my wallet, They wanted my pay
To give to the others, Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money, And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon, As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen, Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out, To tear my country apart!
'On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi', He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause, And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation, Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think, On this one final note--
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM, GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Obama: Mexicans Were Here Long Before America was even an Idea

Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land."
Mexico declared its independence on September 16, 1810. It was recognized on September 27, 1821.
The United States of America declared its independence in 1776.

Examiner Editorial: Obamacare is Even Worse Than Critics Thought
I excerpted this because it seemed appropriate to all of you, as we all are going to be affected by this soon enough.
Examiner Editorial
September 22, 2010
Much more has been revealed about Obamacare since President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pushed the bill on Americans six months ago. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP file)
Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations:
» Obamacare won't decrease health care costs for the government. According to Medicare's actuary, it will increase costs. The same is likely to happen for privately funded health care.
» As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions, contrary to Obama's promise that it wouldn't. This means that tax dollars will be used to pay for a procedure millions of Americans across the political spectrum view as immoral. Supposedly, the Department of Health and Human Services will bar abortion coverage with new regulations but these will likely be tied up for years in litigation, and in the end may not survive the court challenge.
» Obamacare won't allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like. By Obama's estimates, as many as 69 percent of employees, 80 percent of small businesses, and 64 percent of large businesses will be forced to change coverage, probably to more expensive plans.
» Obamacare will increase insurance premiums -- in some places, it already has. Insurers, suddenly forced to cover clients' children until age 26, have little choice but to raise premiums, and they attribute to Obamacare's mandates a 1 to 9 percent increase. Obama's only method of preventing massive rate increases so far has been to threaten insurers.
» Obamacare will force seasonal employers -- especially the ski and amusement park industries -- to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.
» Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients. With many doctors now refusing to take Medicaid (because they lose money doing so), cash-strapped states could be sued and ordered to increase reimbursement rates beyond their means.
» Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business. It will require them to mail IRS 1099 tax forms to every vendor from whom they make purchases of more than $600 in a year, with duplicate forms going to the Internal Revenue Service. Like so much else in the 2,500-page bill, our senators and representatives were apparently unaware of this when they passed the measure.
» Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.

The Aftermath of Peace and Love
On 10/2/10 a progressive march on D.C. took place. It was called One Nation Working Together. All I can say is for a bunch of people who proclaim to love our planet and all that hippy crap, wow. You guys sure did an amazing job of taking care of our planet. I think the only thing that was worse, was the inauguration!
It amazes me to see the conservatives who met on 8/28 pick up after themselves, being demonized for everything possible. While, we can see the demonizers trash D.C. just like they are politically. Way to go. Progressives – you sicken me.

The Church of no More Worship.
Does the state have the right to prevent people from training for particular careers because the state disagrees with their religious beliefs? U.S. District Judge George Steeh has made just such a ruling. Eastern Michigan University expelled Julea Ward from its master’s program in school counseling because Ms. Ward refused to undergo a reeducation program to silence her beliefs and to keep her convictions in check when counseling.The flashpoint was Ms. Ward’s refusal to counsel homosexuals about relationships because such behaviors are not consistent with her religious beliefs. The dismissal of Ms. Ward’s lawsuit could have a chilling effect on religious freedom. The threat goes far beyond the issue of homosexuality. If the government can determine that some beliefs make a person unfit for a profession, then anyone who has an unpopular belief can be denied the opportunity to practice his or her own profession. After all, if the government can determine that personal beliefs can make a person ineligible to train for a particular profession, what is there to stop the government from forcing people out of their existing profession? This ruling is a threat to everyone’s freedom, no matter what one believes about homosexuality.
Continued at link above.
Alright folks, It seems that our freedoms are coming under attack more and more. This girl is only trying to become a counselor in order to attempt to help others. In this case, she is being absolutely discriminated against due to her personal and religious views.
No judge is able to revoke our freedoms such as in this case. We have the utmost responsibility to uphold our freedoms religious or otherwise.
Here is the funny part to this whole situation…
Given any profession, if you as a service provider is unable to assist your client or customer you would be able to refer them to someone who could. Right? So if a person holds a personal view that is against homosexuality, and a gay couple comes to her for counseling, she should be able to refer them to someone that could help them. Right?
Think of it like this, just because she doesn’t believe that they should be together is reason enough that she would be unable to offer helpful, unbiased advice. That in and of itself is not discriminatory. If she were to say “I hate f*gs,” or some such awful thing, then yes, that would.
She is protected by her first amendment to have her religious beliefs. Further than that, she is granted by God to believe in Him and hold His values in her heart.
We cannot ask a Catholic pro-life pediatrician to perform an abortion, and then when he refuses force him to do so. There are ethics protections for providers for that reason. He would be able to refer that patient to someone more willing than he to perform that procedure.
If this is the case with so very many doctors and care providers, why is this young lady being discriminated against? How are one couples’ feelings held in any higher regard than the religious views of another?
In all fairness and impartiality, that a judge should take, he is overstepping his bounds by making this unconstitutional judgment against her.
Remember Justice Breyer? He said that the first amendment should come under review and that cases set precedence. This is the precedence that we are to expect.
Imagine a day where you are no longer allowed to go to church because it differs from the views that governing officials have. Does it sound like the kings from a couple hundred years ago?
Remember the more that we grab power from the people, the sooner that they will take it back. This will lead to further restrictions on people of faith and eventually our faith will no longer be allowed.
Contact U.S. District Judge George Steeh and let him know that this ruling is not ok.
*Update*
Since trying to "influence a federal judge is "not okay," if you were to file a "friend of the court" document with more information about why his ruling was unjust, this is the more "acceptable" route.

What Did Obama Do?

This is a reposting:
This is a reposting:
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the debt within 10 years, would you have approved?Come Thanksgiving, George W. will be giving thanks for Barack. Next to Barack and his “accomplishments” Bush is looking like a genius.
If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word “advice” would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans (due to Katrina), would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If this these incidents did not occur under George W. Bush’s watch, I wonder who was at the helm when they did…?

The Form of a Republic
Since the beginning of our nation, leaders have referred top our nation as a Republic. The Fact that we have utilized democracy as the basis for how we are governed is common knowledge among Americans.
Or is it?
The definition of an American republic was established by James Madison, originally as a representative republic rather than a direct democracy. A direct democracy is where you and I would vote on everything; we would pass bills, veto laws, etc. This is most commonly seen in some local elections as "balance measures." This form of voting usually has little to no nationwide impacts.
The reason that ballot measures typically will not affect America nationwide, is because our form of government is a representative republic. The means that you and I will vote for representatives to appropriately vote or establish laws and policies on our behalf.
Here’s how the original set up of our nation’s republic used to look.
Voters would elect their local representatives. These state reps would choose federal reps to act on the state’s behalf at the federal level. If the state’s interests were not being represented accurately, the state would recall the representative or senator in question and replace them with someone who would.
The beauty of this system allowed for little government rule over the states and established a necessary means of regulating interstate/international commerce by establishment of a monetary system and protecting our nation via the military.
However, after the Civil War, the United States Federal government changed its viewpoint to reflect that we were no longer sovereign states overseen by a limited government. The United States of America changed from being treated as plural – “these united States” – to being a single entity – “the United States.”
With this change, America was now one nation in all aspects. Our federal government then had acquired the power to reign supreme over the states, and states’ rights became a far second to federal wants. This directly violates that 10th amendment. (Essentially the states were now like counties in a state.) While I agree with the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery, when President Lincoln enacted federal policy over the South, he set a precedent – that the federal government has absolute power over the people.
While modern apologetic and progressive educators will attempt to convince us that the Civil War was only about slavery, it was not. It was about and only about state’s rights to govern themselves.
Later in American history, with the ratification of the 17th Amendment, in 1911 by the Senate and 1912 by the House, the states lost more of their sovereignty. The 17th Amendment allowed for direct election of federal congressmen by popular vote. At times and even now it may seem a good idea that we the people are to be choosing our legislators.
There are two major problems in this reasoning.
1. The masses, the people of our nation, have become weak minded, slack moral, ill-educated fools. Most Americans don’t care or care to know about their rights, politics, or their politicians. 9/10 people that I’ve asked (out of 113) have never even read the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. This is scary. If we don’t know what the issues are or don’t care, direct elections can be very dangerous, as we can currently see.
2. The federal government usurps the power from the states and helps themselves to your money, your freedoms and your life. Take Obama-care for instance, that bill has dozens of new taxes that strips you of your hard-earned money; it demands we submit our health and at times our very lives to the will of some unseen bureaucrat who knows where. The federal legislators are not even required to follow these laws; they are exempt from Obama-care. Many federal legislators have been proposing and pushing for submitting our nation to the rule of the United Nations. This means that everything we know is in jeopardy. Every freedom – speech, religion, even down to how we teach our children becomes dictated to us by the United Nations.
These examples are only a few to give you an idea about the gravity of the situation. This is what the popularity contest and Facebooking and Twittering and basically “prom king and queen” type politics has gotten us via the popular vote.
I bring this not to scare you, but you should be. I don’t want you to hate our nation, but hate those who lack integrity. In the upcoming elections you will see ads against conservatives who want to, or have the personal convictions that, our nation needs to be restored to a states’ rights nation. The Leftists say that these candidates want to strip you of your right to vote. It is definitely not that. There is concern for people who vote based off of their Facebook account or Twitter, or because it’s the cool person, rather than voting based off the issues.
Our rights have been threatened, but not because of conservatives looking for smaller government. They have been threatened by the teenie-boppers and peer pressure. Our rights have been threatened by our own stupidity and ignorance.

“Silence is Golden” as Federal Policy?
Today is Constitution Day.
Unfortunately, this week we may see the beginnings of yet another attack on our Constitution. Supreme Court Justice Breyer was interviewed on Good Morning America this week about his new book. However, discussions strayed from his new book to the consequences of citizens using their speech freely, as demonstrated last weekend with Florida Pastor Jones in the threat to burn a Koran.
I have avoided writing about Pastor Jones regarding his threat to burn a Koran for a specific reason. I wanted to see what the outcome would be. I knew that the Usurper in Chief would get involved and that Jones would have most likely not followed through on his promise to burn a Koran on 9/11 of this year.
For the very reason he was chastised and ridiculed as a hate-monger, he should have burned the Koran. He was Constitutionally protected to do so, and as any good American using his right to free speech, there should have been no repercussions for it.
Justice Breyer mentioned that, “Holmes said it doesn’t mean you can shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater… Well, what is it? Why? Because people will be trampled to death.” Even someone in a highly respected position as a Supreme Court Justice can be unmistakably wrong.
Justice Breyer is referring to Former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s opinion in the United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919. This is a popular Quote but often taken out of context. The misquote fails to mention falsely shouting fire to highlight that speech which is merely dangerous and false which can be distinguished from truthful but also dangerous. The quote is used as an example of speech which serves no conceivable useful purpose and is extremely and imminently dangerous, which is not practical and expresses the permissible limitations on free speech consistent with the terms of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Here is the key, the Supreme Court has ruled in past that false and dangerous speech should be limited, not true and dangerous speech. Pastor Jones wanted to show Islam that enough was enough and we (as Christians) were not going to take any more of their – let’s say stuff. I absolutely agree that we should not allow for the Islamic Jihadists of our world dominate nor dictate to us how we are to act or believe. It is only out of fear that they may attain that power.
So if it is illegal to shout “fire” when there is no fire, because the powers that be say that someone might be unintentionally hurt, why do people see that burning a Koran is a bad thing? If Jones were to burn a Koran and – as this past week has shown – Muslim extremists go out and kill some Christians for it, are these unintentional repercussions?
No. They are not the direct result of his own actions or speech. When these Christians were killed this week, that was the intentional reaction of militant terrorists that had an “religious” affinity for killing Christians already. These Jihadists were only acting out they ONLY thing they know how to do. Behave like a two year old with a gun.
Back to the point.
If Justice Breyer and his anti-patriots in the Supreme Court bring the First Amendment under review, it will become just one more way for the government to attain power. One more way, for our nation to fall.
He goes on to suggest that cases are what will determine the legality of burning a Koran. “Cases produce briefs, briefs produce thought. Arguments are made. The judges sit back and think. And most importantly, when they decide, they have to write an opinion, and that opinion has to be based on reason.” With the reasoning that comes from the Leftist-Progressive judges in the Supreme Court currently holding position, this is a scary thought.
Do you see the irony in making it illegal to burn a Koran, in a Nation where it is legal to burn a Bible and the American Flag? Scary times ahead.

The Consequence of Declaring War
The great messianic fallacy has declared war on the United States of America. This is going to be presented in a few parts and laid out so we may see what the Usurper in Chief is actually doing.
1 – The Creation of Separatists
Over the past few weeks, our treasonous Usurper in Chief and his minions have condemned Arizona both verbally (press conferences) and written (Human Rights Counsel Report) for long overdue immigration legislation. He has done this while proclaiming that he has never read the legislation. It only makes him look like a fool.
However, the consequences of appealing to the United Nations Human Rights Counsel in order to condemn the state of Arizona to international law will be dire. He essentially told Arizona that they are subject to International judiciaries and no longer under the protection of the United States. Being that each of the states in the US are sovereign in their own right, the Federal government is Constitutionally subservient to the states. In other words, the Federal government derives its power from the states, not the other way around, as they would have us believe.
Already there have been 22 states that have placed immigration legislation on the tables of their State Congresses (http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-196989-0.html). Of these states, eleven have filed a “friend of the court” brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that a federal judge was wrong to block implementation of key provisions of the law. Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia joined in the filing (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/04/states-join-legal-brief-supporting-ariz-immigration-law-donations-roll-gov/).
Basically, this means that these states have filed with the court to offer testimony or legal assistance on behalf of Arizona.
What does this means for us? Well, consider this. The Usurper in Chief has already taken one state to the United Nations, what is holding him back from doing it again? Absolutely nothing. That means that he will be submitting almost half of the nation to the United Nations for a judgment that is not even in their jurisdiction. He has essentially offered one state to the chopping block and will most likely follow suit with the others.
Taken by itself, what could be more offensive than the federal government trying to bring down world opinion against a single state? A state that that same federal government was created and has a duty to protect. But coupled with the potential for taking the remaining states to the United Nations and you have yourself a segmented group of states that have been isolated from the rest of the nation, which may well, result in succession by those states and civil war.
2 – Financial Destruction
There are a few major points to consider when evaluating American economic policies lately. Spending is way out of hand. The first stimulus didn’t work and the White House administration is proposing a second one (http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/09/a-second-stimulus/62543/). Obama-care is going to cost even more and they want to add a “Cap and Trade” tax on all carbon emissions produced by energy and production companies.
“Cap and Trade” taxation is but one razor that will slice the wrists of our productivity and the incurred costs will only be passed down to Americans through surcharges and other means. This will even further destroy our middle class.
A value added tax – or VAT – if implemented means that anytime a good is produced or improved upon, there will be a tax charged on the seller. Take a loaf of bread for example, the wheat is harvested – tax, the mill grinds the wheat into flour – tax, another company makes yeast – tax, the dairy farm milks the cows – tax, the chicken farmer collects eggs – tax, the baker bakes the bread – tax. This could mean we end up paying $10.00 for a loaf of bread. Essentially starving Americans into submission.
The last of many financial attacks brought to Americans under the guise of “making a better America,” is the hush-hush pushing through of the Transaction Tax. This is a tax that I have discussed with all recently and can be found here - http://secondamendmentman.blogspot.com/2010/08/tax-storm-is-coming.html. “This ‘Transaction Tax’ would impose a 1% tax on every transaction except buying and selling stock. If you use your debit cards, credit cards, cash, check book, transfer funds from checking to savings, put money into an IRA for retirement. Every time you pay with a check card to buy gas, 1%. Every time you buy baby formula in cash, 1%. Every time you buy toilet paper, 1%. water, rent, mortgage, insurance, deposit a paycheck, withdraw “tooth fairy” money for the kids, cash a check, even to use cash – 1%.”
These financial attacks against you and me are only another tool that the leftist extremists, lead by the Usurper in Chief, are using to castrate the American people. If you take away our money, we have nothing to fight you with. If we can’t feed ourselves, we are too weak to lift our voice.
3 – Personal Security
The Second Amendment prohibits the Federal government from taking away our right to bear arms to protect ourselves from vicious criminals as well as calling for an ever-ready militia in case of invasion or the presence of an authoritarian regime in America. Because we are commanded by God to protect our families and ourselves, the Second Amendment “grants” you and me nothing. We already have that right ordained by our Creator.
Recently there have been attacks on this right. And in the very near future we will see gun control becoming an absolute. Next Tuesday, on September 14, 2010, the Senate Judiciary Committee will review the firearms commercial markets (http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=4771).
Given Senator Leahy’s (D-VT)extreme anti-gun rights stance, and his position as the Chairman of the Committee, this meeting cannot go well. There is very little information being released at this time, however, key members of the Judiciary Committee have stated that it is response to “commercial provisioning of firearms on the public market.” This basically means that we are going to see private sales attacked, possibly high end permits for owning and purchasing guns, the need to have a permit to purchase ammo, etc.
While the courts may find these types of actions do not violate the Second Amendment, increasing the costs of - and decreasing the accessibility of - acquiring firearms and ammunition are flat out in violation of both the spirit and plain reading of the Constitution. This is quite possibly in response to Montana’s legislation HOUSE BILL 246 (http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HB0246.htm), stating that the Federal Government’s imposing power does have limits found in the 10th Amendment (http://secondamendmentman.blogspot.com/p/constitution-of-united-states.html) and that sovereignty over Montana, remains with the state of Montana. Further in the bill it provisions that firearms or ammunition manufactured in Montana, that stay in Montana, are not under and cannot be federally regulated. Many other states must follow suit.
Remember folks, the 9th and 10th amendment states two things. The 9th Amendment states that any duties that are not authorized by the Constitution belong to the states or to the people. The 10th Amendment states that the federal government does not get any power that the Constitution does not expressly give it. The federal government has no rights. It has only duties given to it by its creators (the states) and the whole purpose of the Constitution was to prevent them from usurping unauthorized authority. We should step out of our ignorance and step up to the Usurper. Let us show Congress that we will not take any more of this destruction of our hollowed nation. Millions of Americans have fought, shed blood or died for our nation since its birth. The least we can do is pay homage to it enough to see it thrive and not die in the hands of the Usurper in Chief and his minions.
Consider this, we are taxed to a point where we cannot afford food or energy, we have no strength to protect ourselves even if we needed to, but now with no money, we cannot afford to buy our protection with anything but subservience to the messianic fallacy himself.
“Oh Great Usurper, will you allow us to protect our homes or feed our children?”
Not going to happen on this front. The Usurper in Chief has driven Americans to the point where we will fight back. It may not be just yet, but it will be soon. The Usurper in Chief wants a revolution of great proportion? He will get it by the hands and blood of true Americans.
He will get his revolution.

Apologies
I must apologize for not posting on some of the current events in the government much this week. I have been dealing with my next post. There has been some cause for research and - on a personal note - some cause for hesitation with my findings.

Offend Me No More
(Found On The Tree)
This is a disturbing scenario. Now, granted the principal of the high school in Northglenn, CO stated that she was unaware of the situation. If the security supervisor did not report that incident to the principal as she should have, that is understandable.
However, any security command needs to – and is often mandatory - be reported to the principal. So it is unlikely that the principal was unaware of the discussion between the student and the security supervisor.
Does anyone think that this sounds slightly familiar?
How about the Cinco de Mayo issue in California, where a group of boys were sent home from school for wearing an American flag on their t-shirts because the principal was afraid it would offend someone.
Straight up, here it is…
If the American flag offends you, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
You will see an American flag in this country. You will see an American flag in front of my home and everyone on my street. You will not have any one concerned about your “feelings” regarding the American flag on our block because this… is America.
You would be shot if you went to China and started demonizing the Chinese flag, most likely the same thing would happen in Mexico if you were to pull this crap. Actually, most parts of Los Angeles you’d be shot for demonizing the Mexican flag.
Jokes aside, anywhere that you want to live, work, play or exist you must tolerate certain things. If you come to this country, you WILL tolerate MY flag.
NORTHGLENN, Colo. -- A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable. Jeremy Stoppel told 7NEWS he got a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires. He said he deserved that ticket and deserved having his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks. But he's upset that campus security then told him he can't fly his 3 feet by 5 feet flags in the bed of his pickup truck anymore.
"She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable," Stoppel said. "How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That's where I'm confused."

Washington Times Publishes Call For Impeachment
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jul/22/the-case-for-impeachment-142967590/?page=1
There is a large supporting argument that is backed by our Nation's ever-growing feelings that the Usurper in Chief must go. I cannot put it in any better terms than the way Mr. Jeffrey T. Kuhner did in this article.
President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.It is about time some one has the backbone to print the truth about the matter. I hope each and every one of you out there gets a chance to read this mans article in the Washington Times.
He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above - one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go.
There is a large supporting argument that is backed by our Nation's ever-growing feelings that the Usurper in Chief must go. I cannot put it in any better terms than the way Mr. Jeffrey T. Kuhner did in this article.

Banning the Second Amendment!
Think of this, you are on your property in North Carolina. You go to the street to tape up damaged windows on your car. You are weary of looters or other ragamuffins that could potentially harm you or your family, so you wear your S&W 686 .357 with pride to fend off your foes. You make it to the street and you hear, “Excuse me, sir.”
Turning around you see a police officer standing there with cuffs in one hand and his gun in the other. “I need you to put the gun down and get on your knees. Now!”
In doing as you are told the windows don’t get fixed, and you get taken to jail for FOUR months. This, all for protecting yourself while in a state of emergency. Sounds like a crock of something doesn’t it. Well, for North Carolina residents, this nightmare became a reality.
Just yesterday, the governor of North Carolina, Bev Perdue, issued Executive Order No. 62 to declare a State of Emergency for North Carolina in advance of the arrival of Hurricane Earl. By doing this, she effectively banned the use of guns in North Carolina.
What is Executive Order No. 62? It is pretty much just a state of emergency legislation. However, General Statute 14-288.7, directly prohibits the transportation of “dangerous weapons.”
Here is what it says:
Unfortunately, the victims of hurricane Katrina had felt the sting of this type of law as well and many suffered for it. Now, a couple of states have put into place laws protecting the second amendment from emergency acts such as this one.
One specific problem in having legislation like General Statute 14-288.7, is that the federal government can place these laws into affect as well. In fact, Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff, is noted saying, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Which can be lead to understand that the federal government’s stance on this would be that they have the right to suspend the Second Amendment indefinitely.
This is unconstitutional. The governor of North Carolina has opened Pandora’s Box by signing this law. Essentially, this kind of legislation could be used to ban handguns across the nation. Given the Usurper in Chief’s stance on gun control, the possibility for a nationwide ban is not far reaching.
In a 2008 Presidential Debate, The Usurper in Chief stated on the issue, “…Just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right...”
While denying that he endorsed a handgun ban in Illinois, documentation exists and was filed while he ran for the State Senate in 1996 showing his true thought on the matter. When asked, “Do you support state legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?”
He responded, “Yes.”
Ban assault weapons? “Yes.”
Mandatory waiting periods and background checks? “Yes (http://bit.ly/ainWME).”
The Usurper in Chief has always held the mentality of restricting (at best) and banning (at worst) American’s right to bear arms.
Here’s the deal, we as human beings have the right, a calling by God, to protect ourselves and our families with the force that we have at our disposal. No government or political power should be able to take that away. EVER.
This means that any ban – potential or enacted – on our ability to protect ourselves and/or families is not only unconstitutional but goes against our very Creator. All it takes is one insignificant little action of one insignificant individual and it would cause a massive domino effect. Given this current administration's stance on gun control, they could essentially strip us of our rights to bear arms FOREVER. Just one excuse under the guise of National Defense, one considerable threat and guns are no more.
The commonly held misperception of the Second Amendment only ensures that the politicos are unable to take our guns from us without a reason. We reject the very idea that rights come from government. Rights, all of them, including the right to keep and bear arms, are God's gift to mankind. The various amendments to the Constitution are nothing more than a directive from our founding fathers to all future governments that they may NOT infringe on those rights.
Remember... "REBELLION TO TYRANTS IS OBEDIANCE TO GOD" http://gunshowonthenet.com/writings/OriginalIntent.html
Once you leave your property in North Carolina you must do so unarmed for the duration of the emergency. That is, unless you are going dove hunting. I'm sure it would be too expensive for the state to give up the revenue from dove hunters. http://www.ncwildlife.org/NewsReleases/090210_Dove_Season_Opens_as_Scheduled_on_Sept4htm.htm

§ 14 288.7. Transporting dangerous weapon or substance during emergency; possessing off premises; exceptions.If this order is violated, you could go to jail for up to 120 days. This impacts the lives of anyone with a concealed handgun permit, sport shooters, and anyone else carrying or possessing a firearm outside their homes.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is unlawful for any person to transport or possess off his own premises any dangerous weapon or substance in any area:
(1) In which a declared state of emergency exists; or
(2) Within the immediate vicinity of which a riot is occurring.
(b) This section does not apply to persons exempted from the provisions of G.S. 14 269 with respect to any activities lawfully engaged in while carrying out their duties.
(c) Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (1969, c. 869, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 192; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)

America Land of the Free No More
You will never believe what the Usurper in Chief has done now. Never in my life would I imagine that this could happen to such a great nation.
We are losing our sovereignty, our ability to rule ourselves.
The Usurper in Chief has filed charges of human rights violations against the state of Arizona. These charges were filed against Arizona, not to a state or federal judge, but to the United Nations Human Rights Counsel.
The Usurper in Chief is the only president in American history to have gone to any other form of governing body to enforce or change laws in our nation. One of the problems with this whole scenario is that the Usurper in Chief did not even read the Arizona law. If he did, He would realize that it states several times in the legislation that there is no power to do anything outside or above the existing federal immigration law.
Let me sum up the Arizona law for you, as it is about 15 pages long. The major points are as follows:
With that said, the Usurper in Chief has deemed it appropriate – which it is not – to charge Arizona with human rights violations – which they do not – because this law specifically precludes the use of racial and ethnic profiling – which it does not – and he sees it as a means of racism – which it is not.
Keep in mind that the Usurper in Chief has stated that he has not ever read the bill. Maybe he should.
In the report he filed with the United Nations, however, there was a much different story. His report is 29 pages, most of which is his descriptive and creative version of American History and how we are and have been consistent with the oppression and demonization of minorities of race and orientation.
He goes on to declare that he has made many improvements while in office to rectify the oppression in America. He even goes on to state that he is proud to have a majority of LGBT people on his personal staff and as cabinet directors. Good for him.
He briefly describes the situation in Arizona and makes more fluff statements about how he is doing this or that to better the human rights “situation” in America.
Why is this such a problem, you may ask?
Well, the biggest issue is the whole idea of the United Nations becoming a governing power over what is and has always been a free nation. Unfortunately, when the Usurper in Chief decided to hand the power of the American people over to the United Nations, that leaves the door wide open for them to step in and start enacting their laws in the state of Arizona if they do not concede and remove the law.
The Usurper in Chief has stated several times that he is ready for the New World Order and this is just the excuse he was looking for. Why else after losing lawsuits among the federal judges would he usurp the American democratic procedure and appeal to international law?
What is really disconcerting is that there are another 22 states that have or are proposing to have nearly identical legislation on the table in the near future:
The United Nations has no authority to make any law in the United States.
Now consider that 64% of Americans support an Arizona S.B. 1070 type law in their state (Source: http://bit.ly/9q0WyB). What does this mean to the Usurper in Chief?
Nothing. We mean absolutely nothing. America means absolutely nothing. Democracy means absolutely nothing. Only the “leftist-progressive-social justice.”
What was it Reverend Wright taught about Liberation Theology?
Remember that the Constitution is THE end all when it comes to American Governance. The United States code backs it up. The United Nations is blocked by the Constitution and has NO sovereignty over the United States. This is a treasonous act and grounds for impeachment, Usurper in Chief be warned.
You tread on dangerous ground.

Let me sum up the Arizona law for you, as it is about 15 pages long. The major points are as follows:
1. No one should be living in the state of Arizona unless they are lawfully permitted to live in the United States of America.There are a few more details but the meat and potatoes are there. There is absolutely nothing about race, ethnicity or profiling in the law. However, I strongly suggest that if you are stopped by a cop in Arizona, well, speak English.
2. If by any normal legal means, you are found to be living in the state of Arizona unlawfully, you will be detained and prosecuted.
3. It is only by reasonable suspicion that an officer of the law may question your legal status.
4. You may need to prove legal residence in order to rent or buy property, get a job or solicit work.
5. If you are an employer and repeatedly hire unlawful workers you can and most likely will lose your business licensing indefinitely.
6. If you are questioned about your legal residency status and are found illegal you can be deported after you pay your fines.
7. If you are unlawfully in the United States don’t get caught with guns or drugs or the chemicals to make drugs or bombs.
8. If you are an unlawful resident, get caught with in a car, and you don’t have a sober spouse over the age of 21 when you are arrested, your car will be impounded.
9. If you are found to be repeating your unlawful entrance to the United States, you will find yourself facing felony charges.
With that said, the Usurper in Chief has deemed it appropriate – which it is not – to charge Arizona with human rights violations – which they do not – because this law specifically precludes the use of racial and ethnic profiling – which it does not – and he sees it as a means of racism – which it is not.

Appeal to Repeal
The implications for our nation's desire to repeal the 14th Amendment are great, yet shocking.
First, the 14th Amendment of our constitution basically grants that anyone born within the borders of our nation is considered an American citizen. This has unfortunately been taken advantage of as many illegal immigrants come to the United States, give birth and then use their children to sponsor their requests for permanent residency. As many as 340,000 of these "anchor babies" are born in the United States every year.
This has caused for millions of dollars to be spent on welfare systems in each state every year.
As of July of this year, the estimated number of Mexican nationals in America was 1 in 8. That means that over 10% of Mexicans live here in America illegally. To put it another way, in 2009, the Mexican population was over 111 million. This means that almost 16 million illegal immigrants - from Mexico alone - are drawing benefits from our social programs.
We are footing the bill.
Think of the ramifications of having that many people from any nation entering our own. One of the major problems of this invasion is that if granted amnesty like the Usurper in Chief's administration wants, this is an extremely large block of potential voters.
If amnesty is granted, we will never see conservative values in our nation again.
The resolution put on the table by GOP congressional leaders is to repeal the 14th Amendment. This would in fact resolve the "anchor baby" issue. However, we would find ourselves in a scarier time than now.
Imagine this, Nancy Pelosi said in 2003 that a baby isn't a person until 30 days after they go home from the hospital. If the 14th Amendment is repealed, and the "progressive leftists" remain anywhere close to power, this could be extended until the age 18. This may sound like a stretch, but it isn’t a very big one.
How would your children be able to "earn" their citizenship?
Imagine counter balancing the political power of 16 million voters spread across America. A rather large concession would have to be offered in order to convince the Usurper in Chief not to veto this bill.
The Usurper in Chief has an idea. What he has suggested in the past is that every citizen has an obligation to serve in a "civic service" not unlike a civilian military assigned to police our neighborhoods "for the greater good.” Basically, we earn our "right" to be a citizen by policing our own friends and neighbors.
Including a clause such as one that mandates a civic duty requirement to receive citizenship is one of the few ways that the Usurper in Chief would even consider signing a bill like this.
If we don't give him this, any other cost would be just as devastating.
Here’s a positive solution though so long as we can get past the Usurper in Chief. Amend the 14th Amendment to state that any child born to one or both parents of illegal status do not receive “birthright” citizenship. Of course, this is really going to upset some of those Liberation theorists and leftist progressives in Washington D.C.
Folks, it is time to stand up. Time to fight against our nation being stolen by illegal immigrants and dirty politics. Let us amend the 14th Amendment and not repeal it all together leaving our nation susceptible to mandated civic duties. Let us remove the concern with “anchor babies” and reallocate those Welfare funds to Americans who really need it. If we find Mexican or other illegal immigrants coming here to have babies, pop them out and send them back.
We should be more willing to help someone once than to support them for generations. You don’t pay taxes for that. You pay taxes for roads, schools, police and our military (etc.). Following this idea will save American money and resources… for Americans.

Have you ever turned on your television and wondered what the next Obama deception was going to be? Or have you ever felt that our Usurper in Chief was acting directly against the wishes of everyone you know? How about considering the option that the Usurper in Chief is making specific decisions that are going to destroy our nation.
Well, it’s unfortunate but you are absolutely right in feeling this way.
Why would any U.S. President act in such a way?
The Usurper in chief is doing as he feels is necessary to "restore" America, and it has a lot to do with Reverend Wright and their liberation theology.
Before I delve too far into the inner workings of our Usurper in Chief, let's take a look at what the general context of "Liberation Theology" really is.
Well, it means that as long as the Usurper in Chief is in office, he is right. Right about the fact that we, America, are no longer a Christian nation. We no longer follow the moral and ethical guidelines that our nation was founded on with the teachings of Christ or Scripturally sound principles.
It means that anyone who was offended, oppressed, belittled or "hated," will find a "social justice" defined by the progressive leftists currently in office.
Conservative values are now under attack. Looking at several recent controversies in the political realm, we can see this. Here's a few examples "liberation theology" will take and twist, and what to expect if the Usurper in Chief had his way.
Since marriage is a controversial issue in recent news, let's look at that. Conservative values propose that marriage shall be between one man and one. Since liberation theology states that the oppressed will have social justice, gay marriage is almost a guarantee under the Obama regime.
Homosexuals will either 1) be able to marry, or 2) convince our government to not recognize ANY marriage and have all marriages recognized as civil unions only.
Liberation theology also explains why the Usurper in Chief has Kevin Jennings as his education czar. Jennings is a proponent of the "gay education" of kindergarten-aged children. This is a type of education program many public schools are adopting which utilizes same-sex couples in text books and educates that homosexuality is an accepted and at times the "better" lifestyle. Parents don't even have the option to opt out of this program.
Due to the Usurper in Chief's liberation theology, this also explains the proposition of the Hate Crimes Bill. This bill allows special protections to individuals who are of a racial or sexual oriented minority. Say a voyeur, flashes your spouse or your child. Of course, you or your spouse might react with a slap or punch. However, while the flasher will receive a state misdemeanor charge, your spouse would receive a federal felony because the flasher was "discriminated" against because of their sexual proclivities.
Liberation theology is why the Usurper in Chief supports every religion but Christianity. The Usurper in Chief actually seems to support Islam over any other religion. If he isn't a Jihadist himself then their feelings of needing to destroy America is "socially justified" somehow, which is why he promotes Islam as his "favored" religion.
The last example of how liberation theology is destroying our nation through the hands of our Usurper in chief, examine the New Black Panther movement. They were taken to court and charged with voter fraud and intimidation. For "some" reason, the Department of Justice dropped the charges, regardless of the fact that they were caught on video threatening voters in Pennsylvania in 2008.
Have you seen other examples this liberation theology being applied to certain "types" of people who claim discrimination being "socially justified" by the Usurper in Chief?
I believe you have.

"Liberation Theology is presented as the effort to think clearly about the meaning of religious faith in the context of oppression, war, poverty, inequality and environmental destruction, and the effort to live a compassionate, courageous and life-sustaining response to those conditions. Over the past several decades, people inspired by Liberation Theology have sought to give voice to a response that both addresses the needs of those who are injured and oppressed, and also works to change the structures and ongoing processes of injury and oppression (http://liberationtheology.org/)."What does this mean and how will it affect us?
Well, it means that as long as the Usurper in Chief is in office, he is right. Right about the fact that we, America, are no longer a Christian nation. We no longer follow the moral and ethical guidelines that our nation was founded on with the teachings of Christ or Scripturally sound principles.

Re: Stimulate This
So did anyone catch where the DOW ended today?
http://money.cnn.com/data/markets/dow/
That's right folks, -141 points.
BUT we're supposed to spend what little savings we have left... to get the ECONOMY going.
What was that Stimulus Bill for again?

Stimulate This
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a0StZd9y2rCY
The Usurper in Chief is LYING.
If our great messianic wannabe is actually telling the truth about our economy, we would be able to establish that the economy is IN FACT taking a positive turn. Well, I’m, sorry to say that it is not. The numbers of jobs that have been created are FAR overwhelmed by the numbers of jobs lost. It is simple math.
America has been overwhelmed with the number of unemployment claims the last two plus years. Just this month (the week of 8/13/10), this number of NEW unemployment claims topped out at over half a million people. The latest jobless claims report suggests that hiring remains weak. In a healthy economy, weekly claims usually fall below 400,000.
I wish I could believe ANYTHING that came from the Usurper in chief.
Unfortunately, we can’t. None of us can. What was it, July? The Usurper in Chief came out for a press conference and stated that the stimulus is working? And again this week Slow Joe announced that the “Stimulus worked (http://bit.ly/c8prUd)!” when he revealed a 50 page report of roses and fluff about how the stimulus is working to save our economy.
If this were the case, if this were not just some propaganda that the White House is spewing forth to influence voters or appease the masses, we would see two big things NOT happening right now.
We would NOT see the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit below 10000 (9,985.81 on 8/26/10 at closing) for the first time in several weeks. All that rallying that was going on? Well, it wasn’t enough to support peoples’ hopes that out economy was improving.
As quick and dirty as I can make this, here is a brief explanation of how this works.
Consumer confidence is built typically on how much disposable income you have. This is the money you have in your pockets to spend on nonessential items, such as computers, cars, toys, expensive clothing, etc. As jobs go away, so does consumer confidence because you no longer have the extra money to buy things. This meaning that as JOBS go, consumer confidence follows, as does the price of stocks. It is a fragile cycle, constantly playing off each other.
Now how does the FED come into play here? Well, Mr. Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the Fed has the power by simply saying things are going to get better or worse, that MANY of us go out and spend money when HE says. This is regardless of how the economy ACTUALLY turns out.
Banks lend more, we spend more, and money increases “velocity.” Velocity is an economics term that no one cares about. Anyway, even though we were told to spend more, and an attempt was made to convince us that the economy was bouncing back, the jobless rate keeps increasing.
SOOOOOO….
No one cares that Ben Bernanke SAYS things are getting better because we have eyes. So we don’t spend money.
All in all, this has led us to where as of today; When Bernanke said the Fed was prepared to make a “major new investment” by buying up some of our government’s debt if the economy worsened considerably (http://yhoo.it/a1SgfR). The goal in buying more debt would be to lower interest rates and convince us to SPEND MORE MONEY.
Unfortunately, with the jobless rate increasing, the FED sees unemployment growing to over 10 percent potentially into the teens by late next year. This only decreases consumer confidence and makes us hold onto our money.
So it is after the market has closed today, and what am I looking at? The DOW closed 1.6 % (+/-) higher today.
Why?
Well, Benny Boy said that things look like they’re going to take a positive turn in about a year and a half and there are more sheep than people in America today. Unfortunately, for us Benny Boy, we’re on the brink of a double-dip. If we end up falling into a second recession, we may not entirely survive it AND we’ll have the load of pork and nonsense - called the stimulus bill - that the Usurper in Chief spent last YEAR that was SUPPOSED to have “saved us.”
Benny Boy, stop filling our heads with nonsense and setting us up for more problems. If we start spending our nest eggs and disposable incomes as a GAMBLE that was based off what you told us, well, our ruin is on your hands. Readers, take the time to SEE what is happening, and think about what will happen if you spend too much of your cushion and you are part of the lucky 13% December 2011 who has no home, no job, no car. All because some bigwig was trying to manipulate the system with declarations.
He says spend, I say no.
President Barack Obama said his $787 billion stimulus bill “has worked as intended” as he pushed back against Republican criticism that his recovery program has failed to rescue the economy.There are a few key elements to address with this issue: Unemployment, the stimulus, stock markets and the Fed.
“It has already extended unemployment insurance and health insurance to those who have lost their jobs in this recession,” Obama, who is traveling today in Ghana, said in his weekly Saturday radio and Web address. “It has delivered $43 billion in tax relief to American working families and business.”

- As consumer confidence improves, so does the investing in companies (producers) and spending on products.
- People invest in companies they think are going to make money.
- As consumers buy, a product there is a certain profit margin attained and thus the companies make money.
- When these companies make money, they split up the take and then shareholders can make money. The more profit that companies are making, the larger the amount of money its shareholders receive at the end of the year. These are called dividends.
- The greater the potential for dividends increases the price of the stock. Now keep in mind that several other factors go into account with this but it is a VERY basic idea for most people to get.
- If consumer confidence falters, they stop buying as many products or services. Right? This can potentially decrease the profits shareholders would receive, making them want to sell that stock and buy something else. OR, they would want to sell those stocks before the stock prices drop making the shareholders lose money when they actually sell. This drives the price of the stocks down.
