PROGRESS STRATEGY by Dave Pritash

PROGRESSIVE STRATEGY

If you don’t know what the progressive strategy is - it's the nullification of the Constitution by any means, preferably legislation like the just-passed Health Care bill. More is coming and they will push it as fast as they can. And in my opinion, "Immigration" is the one they want the most. Maybe even more than they did Health Care. But don't get me wrong, Health Care was important to them. I just think it was done first to soften us up, and fortunately it took longer than they thought because of Conservatives. The Tea Party movement was not anticipated by them and now that they have to deal with it, they have no choice but to try by any means to discredit us.

We cannot let them succeed at this and even if they put "plants" in our demonstrations, we must continue the fight. We need to win over the rest of the country that has not yet seen the light. Make sure that at any future demonstration that everyone knows to act civilly, even when provoked. I would say that this should include actively stopping anyone that is doing anything that would harm the Conservative Movement in the eyes of our fellow citizens. If you see someone (plant) doing these things we are accused of, STOP THEM. Talk some sense into them if you can. If you think that they maybe possibly be a "plant", get pictures of them so they can be exposed for who they are. One other thing is we should assume these bad people are plants. We have no reason to believe they are conservatives unless "proven" otherwise. Do not accept that any trouble makers are conservatives.
Now this is one of the things that I think they may be trying to do using "Immigration Reform".

In the next couple of months, if they can get an amnesty bill through the House and Senate that grants immediate amnesty to anyone in the country, then it might be possible for Obama to issue an Executive Order granting them citizenship. That would give the Progressives a huge vote advantage that might prevent them from losing seats in November, 2010. Even if they can't get this done by November they can still try to get it done for 2012. I think this is now their main objective. Stopping Immigration Reform must be our top priority. The Health Care battle is not lost but it's in the courts now.

But there is one other thing they can do and that is to create an incident, real or contrived, that will give Obama the excuse to declare "Martial Law" and suspend the November elections. They have been setting the stage for this ever since they were elected. Remember last year when Janet Napolitano put out warnings that returning war veterans should be watched as possible terrorists? Ever since, the media has been putting out the message, directly or indirectly, that we veterans are bigots, homophobic, racists, hateful, wrong-thinking, bitter people that could be terrorists. They will not let up on this and, in fact, will be pushing this very hard trying to get us to do something stupid. Don't do it no matter how hard they try. For now follow what Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount speech, "Turn the other cheek."

Not reacting to the Progressive hate will infuriate them more and cause them to react negatively, which will get harder and harder for the media to cover up. So let’s demonstrate as often as we can and fund those we support to the best that we can and play it very cool. Let them make fools of themselves and the result will be that the majority of the citizens will end up on our side, not theirs. If we can do this we have a chance to take back the Senate and House. The "Fire Pelosi" slogan is good and that should be a goal for 2010.

Hollywood Filmmakers and the Left

I've just watched two movies, "The Ghostwriter" and "Lambs for Lions", the latter starred Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. In both movies, I could see it coming early on.

The Redford name alone should be a signal for a leftist view and he carried in that tradition. The movie, of course, chastizes President Bush and our invovement in Iraq and Afghanistan in a slick way, as Hollywood is able to do.

The other movie, starring Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor, paints the CIA as an enemy of the people, even to the point of calling waterboarding torture
http://throughsullivanseye.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-want-torture.html.
I couldn't help thinking that if the old CIA were still around, today we wouldn't be facing the problems of Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela and the like.

Was Joe McCarthy right?

"Congress shall make no law....."

Author unknown.


For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.


If each of you who agree will contact a minimum of twenty people on your e-mail address list, and in turn ask each of those to do likewise.. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ".

The Heart of American People and the Danger to America

While I have never supported Barack Obama, I believe the sentiment expressed below misses an import mark - the heart of the American people.

The American people, God bless 'em, are traditionally open-hearted and generous. In ur lifetimes we have witnessed first-hand prejudices of all sorts, including that of race. While we discriminate daily in our individual choices, discrimination based on race is illegal.

The American people chose a mixed-race man to become their President and for this they are to be congratulated for being open minded. However, in their zeal to demonstrate that they were not racially-prejudiced, feel-good politics if you will, they did not pay particular attention to the policies of his crowd, i.e., the Left. And therein lies the rub. Americans are discovering too late that the policies of his Administration are out of playbooks that do not work.

THE AUTHOR OF THE FOLLOWING IS UNKNOWN

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” -- Author Unknown

Apocalyptic Literature

This was written by a pastor's wife in biblical prose as a commentary of current events. It is
brilliant.
------------------------

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One."

He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you." My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. I shall save you with hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceeded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed. And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised that it was good; and they believed.

And "The One" said " We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!" And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!" Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." And the people said "Sock it to them!" "And redistribute their wealth." And the people said, "Show us the money!" And then he said, " redistribution of wealth is good for everybody."

And Joe the plumber asked, " Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized. One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was
banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?" And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!" Then "The One" said "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."

And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes." So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!" And the people said, "Hallelujah! Show us the money!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!" And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.

And He said. "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for every worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics." And the people said, "Give me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas." And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!" And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates." So "The One" said, Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with the ACORN and your troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..." And the people said, "Hallelujah!" and they made him king!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The bank banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support. Then "The One" said, "I am the "the One"- The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"

But our foreign trading partners said unto Him. "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more... And "The One" said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!" And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this a fairy tale, but it's not. It's happening RIGHT NOW.

The Continuing betrayal of Social Security

According to the Trustees for the Social Security Administration, " There will not be a cost of living increase for the next two years in SS benefits." Additionally, our co-pay for RX Medicare benefits will be raised.

They are also funding 24 million dollars for new electronic medical records processing for Congress. The funds are being obtained, and we quote from the SS website, "This money will be coming from the savings to be generated from withholding "cost of living increases for 2010 and 2011 in SS benefits for the elderly and a $2.00 increase on all medicare RX beneft co-pay."

Op ed letter to Indianapolis Star re government control of 1/6th of our economy

This letter appeared in the Indianapolis Star (which is owned by the same people who own the Arizona Republic) and was sent to a very popular Indiana Senator. This just goes to show everyone what pressure these Democrats are currently under, so continue to let them know how you feel about the healthcare bill.



An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill ( Note: Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis , IN ) Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh.. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser



Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.


Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 145 Line 15-17: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan. (NO choice!)

Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families. (Employees shouldn't get excited about this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)

Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k & above who does not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll! (See the last comment in parenthesis.)
Page 150 Lines 9-13: A business with payroll between $251K & $401K who doesn't provide public option will pay 2-6% tax on all payroll .

Page 195 HC Bill: Officers & employees of the GOVT HC Admin.. will have access to ALL Americans' finances and personal records. (I guess so they can 'deduct' their fees)

Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." (Yes, it really says that!) ( a 'fee' instead)
Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Govt will reduce physician services for Medicaid Seniors. (Low-income and the poor are affected.)

Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)

Page 253 Line 10-18: The Govt sets the value of a doctor's time, profession, judgment, etc. (Literally-- the value of humans.)

Page 341 Lines 3-9: The Govt has authority to disqualify Medicare Advance Plans, HMOs, etc. (Forcing people into the Govt plan)

Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!' Unbelievable !

Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee." (Can you say HC by phone?)

Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult." (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)

Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it's mandatory !)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.') (Sounds like Soylent Green to me.)

Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)

Page 429 Lines 1-9: An "advanced-care planning consultant" will be used frequently as a patient's health deteriorates.

Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans.. (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?)

Page 429 Lines 13-25: The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.. (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!)

Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life! (Again -- no choice!)

Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)

Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy. (Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.


Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.

Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.

Respectfully,

Stephen E. Fraser, MD


Dear Reader,
I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people as you can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations.

Have You Heard?

No, not song popularized by the Tokens, the 1960s Doo Wop group. I'm speaking of the four Muslim soldiers who have been discharged from the U.S. Army. Why? For threatening to poison the food in a Fort Bragg Mess Hall. Have you heard about it?

I don't believe any of the state-controlled media, the alphabet networks, have yet to report it. The Army got smart and discharged them. Perhaps they prevented another Fort Hood style massacre.

I've read about the attempts to bring free Internet to communities. Doesn't that sound wonderful?Why, no one in the United States will have to pay for it. Well, at least the some folks won't have to pay. When that happens you won't see any news about incidents at Fort Bragg. It's called getting the door opened a crack and then kicking it wide open. And you know what happens when things are "free" and the government gets a hold of it.

Once the Internet is collectively-owned say good-bye to the blogosphere. If communities own it they have the right to control the content. And if they don't want you to know about it, you won't'. Just like our major TV networks in the U.S.

CITGO Gas Stations changing their name to PETRO EXPRESS

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Subject: Fw: Citgo is changing their name

Subject: Citgo is changing their name
IN ORLANDO LAST WEEK, AT A CITGO STATION, REGULAR GAS WAS PRICED AT$2.82 PER GALLON, AND NO CUSTOMERS.

HOWEVER, ACROSS THE STREET FUEL WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND ALL PUMPS THERE HAD CARS WAITING TO FUEL UP. What's going on? Word is getting around!!!!! Read on:

Have you noticed how the CITGO signs have disappeared in the past 7-8 months? A very clever move by Chavez.. But guess what, "CITGO" IS CHANGING ITS NAME, too...
This is serious, Americans,....make sure you read this very carefully..

NEWS FLASH:
Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The RUSSIANS are building an AK -47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in Venezuela , to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout the Americas .

Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him. It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to "PETRO EXPRESS" due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA ......due to the recent publicity of ownership by Chavez of Venezuela.

Every dollar you spend with ''CITGO" or "PETRO EXPRESS" gasoline will be used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS "CITGO". This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY: "CITGO", BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM 'CITGO-CHAVEZ', HAVE STARTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: 'PETRO EXPRESS'. DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! 'PETRO EXPRESS' IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
BOTTOM LINE,-- BOYCOTT "CITGO" & "PETRO EXPRESS please!!
