As the winds of Autumn prepare to blow over the gridiron fields across the fruited plain, for those of us who seek freedom and limited government, a stiff, sometimes sharp and biting, political wind has been in our face seemingly for decades.
For 100 years, the Progressives have been working diligently to "fundamentally transform" America, molding it to their hearts content. Not withstanding the presidency of Ronald Reagan, the wheels of transformation have been turning, and we are now coming to grips with which direction the wind is blowing.
While the parallels to George Orwell's 1984 novel are quite clear, it really is beyond that. The falsities presented on a daily basis in the mainstream news cycle is illustrative that common sense is absent, and in a more troubling development, the presentation of events are dictated by political influences with specific agendas.
The progressives have done their homework, and have welcomed the utilization of the insights and tactics of Edward Bernays, Saul Alinsky and Cass Sunstein. Through executive orders, legislation and media elements, public behavior in being nudged into an inescapable position of oppression. These mechanisms have allowed the government to introduce the public to new normals that are unnecessary in their existence, manipulating choice in effort to control the citizenry.
Certainly, that paints a grim picture of the future, but the most ominous aspect of this transformation is the failure our elected officials to adhere to the law. Under the Obama administration, there are many examples that can be presented to illustrate the administration operating outside the law. It was first exhibited when the GM bondholders were eliminated from the contract order of repayment of their bond investment, present when the DOJ failed to prosecute obvious voter intimidation by the Black Panthers in Philadelphia to recently picking and choosing which parts of Obamacare, legislation voted into law which violates our Constitution, will be delayed in implementation.
Once you have our government doing as they please without adherence to our laws, you indeed have nothing short of a banana republic. At that point, and we are here, drastic measure must be taken to preserve the great experiment handed to us by our divinely inspired Founding Fathers.
The Great One, Mark Levin, a Constitutional scholar and radio talk show host, joined Sean Hannity on "Hannity" on The FOX News Channel to discuss a radical, yet legal and intelligent, avenue for the citizenry to wrestle back control of our arrogant and lawless officials, sadly from both parties, running Washington DC. Take a listen:
Embarked upon by Woodrow Wilson, the road we are traveling portrayed by Stuart Chase has been slowly traversed by progressives, and the destination is sadly in sight. This is a resort of socialism, ripe with decay and void of incentive, hope and dignity for those on the outside looking in, alarming portrayed in Orwells' 1984. Perhaps Friedrich Hayek gave us the blueprint, noting how a society travels "The Road to Serfdom".
It will take an innovative and all inclusive effort to retard the momentum the progressives now have, but in order to preserve our nation, the fight must be engaged promptly. The ideas Levin presented, recognizing the power of the states, have strong merit, and BAHL Revere is hoping to sound the alarm in the spirit of Paul Revere.
The times are just as dire.

Surfing With Serfs
The Democrats frequently inform us that evil corporations are not people, just faceless entities who deserve to be looted since they exploited the citizenry for profits.
Recently, I wrote checks out of my corporations accounts to pay federal and state unemployment tax, along with the regular and increasing taxes due either quarterly or annually. Last time I looked, I am a person.
Meanwhile, President Obama is proposing budgets that increase the debt exponentially, and if implemented, could very well collapse our country, Cloward and Piven style. As utterly insulting as Obama's budget is, at least he produced one, unlike the Senate, who under Harry Reid, D:NV, have failed in their legal and fiduciary responsibility to submit one.
Question for you. If you have an annual debt the size of your total assets, would you not think it prudent to put together a budget in an effort to identify and rein in cost cutting opportunities? Yeah, me too.
In the mail this past week came notice that, because the state of Florida had to borrow from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits, an additional unemployment tax must be paid by each of my corporations to cover the cost of the interest. Lovely, incompetence in fiscal management by the government requires additional tax payments by corporations, hence, individuals. Idiots at large.
Senator Jim DeMint, R:SC, sat down with Larry Kudlow to discuss his Wall Street Journal editorial piece and how the financial malfeasance of Obama and his Progressive Senatorial cohorts threatens the sovereignty of our nation. Take a listen:
Beyond the absurd fantasy of the President's budget, the administration is now floating the idea of a global minimum tax. Can you imagine? We are nothing but broke and now we want to tax our citizenry to expand the transfer of wealth masquerading as funding global initiatives. This is insanity, unless you are tyring to bring America down to the level of third world nations. It was President Obama who said America was no more special than any other nation. So in the name of fairness, Obama will implement plans to have America share her wealth.
It was Margaret Thatcher that said socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples money, and at that time, bad things happen. See Greece. As Ronald Reagan said, the more the planners plan, the more the planners fail. While elitest government officials think they can better plan your life than you can, it was our founding fathers who based our economy on free market principles who were correct, as free market capitalism remains the best path to prosperity.
Freidrich Hayek' outstanding chronicle The Road To Serfdom thoroughly explains the path our government is leading us on, a path that leads to the destruction of society. Glenn Beck covers this masterpiece thoroughly HERE, HERE, and HERE, but this video is short and stout. Take a look:
Several components are in play now. The media is a giant propaganda machine, and a future dictator finds it most helpful. Early steps of the dictator is to inflame the majority in common cause against some scapegoat minority, the investors and bankers. The least educated, led by firery oratory, form a party or occupy in protest. The formation of a civil army is being formed, with many a propaganda arm.
America must stop the insanity, recognize the lies (unemployment rate as an example) and change course quickly, before it is too late. We have run out of everyone else's money.
