Country split and other junk
It has been proclaimed!
EDIT: The main reasons why the Constitution is hanging by a thread are: The inability for a Filibuster in congress by Conservatives. This means no opposition for any bill to go through, bills that are slowly stripping your rights as a citizen. Our president elect would like to replace 3-4 of our Supreme Court Judges with extremely liberal judges, making it possible that if a bill he wants to get through congress does not pass he can just turn to the bench and have them legislate from there (which is unconstitutional but happens from time to time). Along with replacing them he plans on replacing all 93 US Attorneys his first day in office...(this sounds more and more dictatorial to me as I go on) This would allow him to put in those that are all in alignment with him, preventing any opposition, just like a good dictator likes.

(1874-1964) 31st President of the U.S.
Plus... the last and not least, our president elect fells that our constitution is a flaw that that this country has. It reminds me of the quote I have posted before:
“Today the path to total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly, we have a Constitutional government. We have something within our government... representing another form of Government which believes our Constitution, is outmoded and is sure that it is the winning side... All the strange developments in foreign policy agreements may be traced to this group who are going to make us over to suit their pleasure.” (1908-1985) U.S. Senator, Indiana (R) William E. Jenner
The combination of Obama and Pelosi's leftwing congress is something to fear. It equals pretty much an unsaid mission to socialize America; with a Democratically controlled congress and no filibuster capability of the Republicans, and Obama's administration, this country would be headed directly for Socialism. Socialism has been spoken to us by the leaders of our country and the leaders of our church, along with warnings against Communism from the same sources. We need to stand up and raise the title of liberty once again! Stand up for your freedoms, do not allow yourselves to be deceived by those that promise a better way of life through taking your liberties away!

I feel that in the time coming that there will be many good, freedom loving people that helped elect our new president that in the coming years will look back at the changes that have happened and tell themselves that this was not the change they were promised or wanted.
Crying fowl already.
Since I am trying to get some work done I think I will quote what was said so eloquently already. Quoted from the Blog itooktheredpill.wordpress.com post "Obama Creating a “Constitutional Crisis”: Eligible to Become President? Prove It!"
"For anyone who has had to prove U.S. Citizenship for a job, how long did it take you to produce a certified copy of your birth certificate?
"The candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama II (also known as Indonesian citizen “Barry Soetoro” to his Indonesian classmates), has yet to produce a certified copy of his birth certificate.
"He has only produced an electronic “Certification of Live Birth”, which was shown to have been photoshopped (you may have to scroll down to see post on that page).
"The U.S. Supreme Court has given Obama until December 1st to respond to the Berg lawsuit.
"What happens if Obama doesn’t provide his certified birth certificate to the U.S. Supreme Court by December 1st?
"Time is precious right now. Every day that goes by, the “fourth estate” repeats the mantra of “Barack Obama is President-Elect“. He is not.
"We did not vote for President…we voted for electors to the Electoral College. There will not be a “President-Elect” until the Electoral College votes for President and that vote is confirmed by the U.S. Congress. If Obama cannot prove to the U.S. Supreme Court that he meets the Constitutional prerequisites for President (most notably the requirement of being a Natural Born Citizen), then he should not be allowed to be a choice for President of the United States! The Constitution is more important to this country than any individual man. The Constitution must be supported and defended.
"If the U.S. Supreme Court rules that Obama is ineligible (or failed to prove his eligibility), then many of his supporters will believe that “racist” Supreme Court justices “stole” the election away from Obama. But it is Obama himself who is creating this Constitutional crisis. It is Obama who has yet to produce a certified birth certificate. The burden of proof and responsibility for this crisis falls 100% on Obama.
Who would Obama’s Electors vote for if they were not allowed to vote for Obama? Probably Biden, unless the entire ticket gets disqualified. Who then? Since Obama actively promoted himself with a big, bright cross, allow me to hope for a miracle…that the candidate who got attacked for a TV advertisement last Christmas which had a much smaller and unintentional “Cross in a bookshelf” would actually be elected by the Electoral College. I know that there is no “logic” in such an outcome. Allow me to walk by faith, not by sight, that the candidate who “majored in miracles” will be the beneficiary of one."

Marriage and rights.
I know what I say is not read by many, but I hope that those that do read understand that we are at war here. It is not a war fought with guns (at least not yet) but a war over what is right and what is wrong. There is a belief that Satan is not real, there is a belief that he is a figure made to scare little children. I tell you he is real, as is our Savior Jesus Christ, and that this war is fought not only here amongst us with words, but amongst those on the other side. We as Christians and especially Mormons have been silent too long. This movement that has started in CA is just the beginning. Web sites have popped up stating that we stole their rights, and another taking the words of our beloved Gordan B Hinkly and using them for this great evil, compelling those of religious background to denounce their church, mainly aimed at Mormons.
"We must always take sides, Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim, silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." ~ Eliezer Wiesel
This was used in the campaign to get Prop 8 repealed. I believe it is a call for all of us to stand up, to be silent no more. I am tired of hearing about how different organizations have made it wrong to show your religion, to show our heritage as a country. Stand up! I know that we as Mormons have been closed off to other religions due to religious views, but we must look at the commonalities. We all believe in Marriage, whatever way we do, that it is between a man and a woman as has been defined throughout history, as it was set up through religion in the first place. Only recently have governments interfered with this sacred tradition and allowed same sex marriage. The Opponents of Proposition 8 have stated that we need to keep the separation of church and state. I call for the same, keep the government out of religious practices! Same sex couples have almost all the same liberties as married couples in CA, so why encroach upon a religious ceremony? Again, I call for Christians across the board, put down your differences and unite. I am not calling for hate against those that choose to live an alternate lifestyle, I do not hate the person, but I do not condone the breaking of Gods laws.

Our Country Tis of Thee
A quote from Chicago DSA’s New Ground of September/October 1995
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia’s District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer’s vacant seat…Although ACORN and SEIU Local 880 were the harbingers of the NP there was a strong presence of CoC and DSA (15% DSA)… Four political candidates were “there” seeking NP support.
Here we have a man that stands and supports those things that the priesthood has stood against and warned us about through the years.“Thus we find that there have been frauds and secret abominations and evil works of darkness going on, leading the minds of the weak and unwary into confusion and distraction.” ~Joseph Smith - Letter to the Saints from Liberty Jail—December 16, 1838 (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 127-128, 1976)
“I have seen the end of this nation and it is terrible... I will tell you in the name of the Lord that a secret band will sap the life of this nation.” ~ Moses Thatcher8-10) Quorum of Twelve Apostles an address in Franklin, Idaho, Franklin Ward
Historical Record— June 16, 1882

Now remember Obamas comments on the US Constitution. (Posted here again)
I urge everyone to read the constitution as I urged in my previous post, read it, print it up and put it in a safe place, and most of all: tell everyone you know to do the same. Print it up for them if need be. Most people will not due this due to the state of laziness and dependency we as a people have come to.
As Madison once said: "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and suddne usurpations." ~ Virginia Convention on that ratification of the Constitution - June 6, 1788 (Elliots Debates, Volume 3, Page 87) James Madison (1751-1836) 4th President of the USA
And then on to George Q Cannon: "We have known that these combinations would exist, that they would increase in the midst of the people... seeking to destroy government, to overturn existing institutions, and to array class against class, community against community." ~ Journal of Discourses - March 11, 1894 - George Q Cannon (1827-1901)
Obama has been suckled on the teachings of Malcolm X who stated, "You will never get real freedom and recognition between black and white people in this country without destroying the country, without destroying the present political system, without destroying the present economic system, without rewriting the entire constitution. It will be a complete destruction of everything that America supposedly stands for."
In his memoirs Obama states,"Only Malcom X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me. the blunt poetry of his words. His unadorned insistence on respect. He promised a new and uncomprimising order, marshall in it's discipline." "but my journy is part of a larger journey - one shared by all who've ever sought to... bring an empire to it's knees."
This is the man that is supposed to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and bear true faith and allegiance to the same"
I have mixed feelings as to where I stand. I am told that as a citizen I am to follow the leaders of our country, and follow its laws. I firmly believe that our new president is a supporter of socialism/Marxism/communism. I also believe that due to his policies about making coal companies go bankrupt and his "spread the wealth" tax will only make me as the little guy pay more taxes on what I spend due to the large companies passing the buck to the consumers. Along that same lines we will see unemployment go up due to the big companies unable to keep employees due to the new tax. I also believe that this is very unconstitutional, but I digress from my original start.
So along that same digression:The general peoples understanding of how an economy works reminds me of the story of ten friends that went to lunch every day at a very nice restaurant:
Suppose that every day, ten men go outfor beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our TAXES, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay$59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.
'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by$20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.'
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is$3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, nowpaid nothing (100% savings)
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of$12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of$18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free.
But once outside the restaurant the men began to compare their savings. 'I only got a dollar out ofthe $20,' declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,'but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifthman. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'
'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man.'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up!
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
The misunderstanding of politics and Obama's history are astounding to me. Many friends and people from my ultra conservative home town even voted for the new president to be. I am blown away at how many people do not do their homework on items. I am blown away at how this country was smoothed over by his forked tongue, how quick they were to forgive him on his lies and mistakes and how fast they were to judge his opponents. I am reminded of how people reacted and loved Hitler, how they wooed over his words and cheered at his speeches while those in power in the surrounding nations watched and were afraid to make him mad. A friend of mine that used to live in a dictatorship country told me months before it happened that Obama would eventually not allow those around him that did not support his thoughts, that he would rid himself of those very people, because that is what a dictator does. A few months later, just a week or more ago Obama made all reporters that wrote for magazines or news outlets that did not support him leave his camp. It opened my eyes a bit more. I did not agree wholeheartedly with McCain, but I was not going to throw my vote at the persons I did agree with. The fact that I knew if I did that it would give Obama that much more power. We will now see what he does with that power.
I will save more of my personal thoughts on Obama's Regime for another post, this post has too many paths as is.
