GEORGIA REPUBLICANS GET BIZARRE BRIEFING

More than most websites, we’ll entertain a good conspiracy theory … and as supporters of Ron Paul (and later Gary Johnson) during the last presidential election, we believe many of them are probably true.  Seriously … if you think government at any level is shooting 100 percent straight with you (on anything), you’re delusional.

But we’re not birthers.  And we don’t think that U.S. President Barack Obama is a closet Muslim.  And even if Obama were a Kenyan-born lover of Mohammed, we wouldn’t care.

We’re much more concerned with the fact that he’s an unrepentant neo-fascist who supports soaring deficit spending, tax hikes and currency debasement.

Anyway, one of the more bizarre theories we’ve heard is that Obama is engaging in mind control to further his agenda.  In fact according to the liberal website Mother Jones, the Georgia “Republican” Senate Caucus received a four-hour briefing on how Obama “is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as ‘Delphi’ to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities.”

Wow … and “double wow” that such a theory was given credence by Georgia’s GOP Senators.

We’re not doubting that Obama supports expanded authority for the UN … or that he’s a full-on statist pushing America further to the left (and our taxpayers deeper into debt) every single day.  But is he really using mind control to do so?

We doubt it …

Have you talked with an Obama supporter lately? There could be 80% unemployment, the dollar could be deflated to zero, with mushroom clouds on the horizon, and they’ll want to argue with you that you are a racist and he’s doing a heckuva good job. They’ve brainwashed themselves.

A Lonely Opposition
by Brion McClanahan

Recently by Brion McClanahan: A Limiting Document?

On 20 March 1861, United States Senator James A. Bayard of Delaware began a three day speech on the prospects of war and the legality of secession. He began by offering a resolution in the hope of avoiding what he predicted would be a long, bloody conflict. It read:

Resolved by the Senate of the United States, That the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, has full power and authority to accept the declaration of the seceding States that they constitute hereafter an alien people, and to negotiate and conclude a treaty with “the Confederate States of America” acknowledging their independence as a separate nation; and that humanity and the principle avowed in the Declaration of Independence that the only just hosts of government is “the consent of the governed,” alike require that the otherwise inevitable alternative of civil war, with all its evils and devastation, should be thus avoided.

Today, November 15, is Bayard’s birthday. His is one of the most important but forgotten United States Senators in American history. There are no monuments to his honor, no buildings named after him, and outside of Delaware hardly anyone has heard his name, but he was one of the few men in the Congress with the resolve to resist the headlong rush to war the Lincoln administration and the Republican Party foisted on the American people, North and South. He privately called Lincoln an “ordinary Western man” that had no concept about American government. Bayard was a rock, a crusader waging what seemed to be, at times, a one-man defense of the Constitution and the Union of the Founders. He was threatened by mob violence, his mail was searched and was later confiscated, he was denounced in the press as a traitor, was hung in effigy in Philadelphia, and later resigned from the Senate rather than continue among the “reptiles” in Congress as he called them. Such a man deserves our attention.

Bayard openly questioned the motivation behind the war against the South and wondered aloud how people could defend such a cause. “Could there be a more revolting proposition than that the individual man, who is domiciled in the State, and residing there, shall be held in the position that he is guilty of treason against the State if he does not side with her, and of treason against the General Government if he does?” He contended “humanity alone” must side with the “law of domicile” in such a situation. When his son-in-law joined the Union army in 1861, Bayard warned, “In embarking on this war therefore, you enlist in a war for invasion of another people. If successful it will devastate if not exterminate the Southern people and this is miscalled Union. If unsuccessful then peaceful separation must be the result after myriads of lives have been sacrificed, thousands of homes made desolate, and property depreciated to an incalculable extent. Why in the name of humanity can we not let those States go?”

In a July 1861 speech entitled “Executive Usurpation,” Bayard roasted the Lincoln administration and lamented the loss of liberty. The Constitution “which we had supposed gave us, as citizens of a free country, free institutions, in contradiction to the absolutism which reigned in France” was being subverted by an administration that smacked of Louis XIV, Oliver Cromwell, or Napoleon Bonaparte. Personal liberty was the cost of centralization. “If [you cherish] the principle of civil liberty, [you] cannot sustain this action of the President [suspension of habeas corpus] which violates the laws of the land, and abolishes all security for personal liberty to every citizen throughout…the loyal States….power always tends to corruption, and especially when concentrated in a single person.”

Bayard typically reserved his harshest statements for the Republican leaders in Congress. He wrote in late 1861 that, “Their intent is the devastation and obliteration of the Southern people as the means of retaining power, and yet I doubt in the history of the world has ever, with the exception of the French reign of terror, shown so imbecile, so corrupt, so vindictive rulers over any people as those with which this country is now cursed.” He voted against appropriating money for the war effort, was dismayed by the reckless government spending – “God help the tax-payers if the money can be borrowed” – urged his son to buy gold when the National Bank Acts passed, thundered against their attempts to expel members of Congress for their opposition to the War, denounced troops at the polls, the military occupation of Delaware, and the arrest of dozens of Delawareans for suspected disloyalty, and believed that the “more moderate” Republicans were being “governed by the violent and ignorant.” He wrote, “If the people of the U.S. were not more practical and informed than the element the French Jacobins dealt with I believe we should have the atrocities of the ‘Mountain’ renewed. Fear alone sustains them.” In 1862 he wrote, “State necessity has always been pleaded for the suppression of liberty.”

Recent events, of course, make Bayard relevant. Tomorrow, thousands of Americans will flock to see Stephen Spielberg’s new film about “Honest Abe,” and will doubtless leave feeling a surge in admiration for the “Great Emancipator.” Assuredly, Bayard’s description of events will not make the film. At the same time all fifty States and over 675,000 people and counting have petitioned the White House to accept the peaceful separation of their State from the Union. Barack Obama has compared his administration to Lincoln’s. Perhaps the two have more in common than he realizes.

Lincoln, the dishonest, Hamiltonian, dictator, and Obama, the Marxist, Keynesian, emperor, both have shredded the Constitution and both have faced a decision on how to handle open defiance of their administration. Obama’s will mirror Lincoln’s, at least in regard to the legality of secession. Secession, he will say, is illegal, unconstitutional, treasonous, and unpatriotic. And why not, he has so-called conservative support. Bayard said in 1861 that “I believe the great value of the American Union…is the preservation of liberty – by which I mean a Government of laws, securing the right of free speech, securing the freedom of thought, and securing the free and ample discussion of any question.” The American people may not be ready for secession and are going about it the wrong way, but let’s hope there is a James Bayard in the current crop of United States Senators, someone with the manly resolve to contest the flimsy arguments that will certainly be used against the American principles of independence and self-determination. I don’t have much optimism.

Except your comments have NO basis in reality… none. Unemployment is falling, the dollar is strengthening, home prices are up, the economy is growing, the deficit is dropping, and the US is seeing a level of respect in the world that we haven’t seen in over a decade, even in spite of the titanic effort put fourth by Mitch McConnell and his party to block everything… everything.

None of this matters though when the conversation is with people who don’t believe in facts or data. Remember all the claims of how the polls are wrong, skewed by liberals, and Romney was going to win big. Even on election night, some were doing anything they could to find a way to count the votes that would add up to what they wanted to see instead of what was real. And even now, the claim is that the election was stolen with a massive wave of fraudulent votes.

So as an “Obama supporter” I can understand how frustrating it must be when you are trying to argue a point based on your psychosis with someone using actual data and facts. I get just as frustrated trying to use reason backed by evidence when talking to republicans. It’s as if I’m from another planet. Still, I won’t give up on you. As for the “wow … and double wow that such a theory was given credence by Georgia’s GOP Senators”, as unimaginable as I think it sounds, it’s pretty tame for the right. You couldn’t have missed the credence your party’s elected just gave to: “a real rape can’t result in pregnancy”, and “rape is gods will”, given by more then a few in the republican party?

lol…good write up…and good on you for being fearless on conspiracy theories(and facts).

Everything/anything is subject to PC bullshit today, including “proper thought”….of course it’s always the mainstream(and those that dictate to it) that decides “proper”.

At the rate we are going soon those thinking outside the mainstream box will be relegated to the Whitehouse’s version of room 101.

Why go all the way to Washington to see an example of “brainwashing”. In 2008, you had a state that was at or near the bottom of the nation in education, health care, highway safety, and per capita income, and at or near the top in unemployment, infant mortality and low birth weigh, violence toward women, and overall crime. (there are just a few examples) This state had just seen the resignation of two constitutional officers for drug use and bribery, and the near-impeachment of the governor for adultery. I guess the voters of this state thought everyone was doing a “heckuva good job” since they elected the members of this same party to control the governor’s office, the lieutenant governor’ office, ( who was so dishonest he didn’t last a year) all the state constitutional offices, and the legislature for the next four years.
The next time you and your fellow knee jerk SC Republicans want to talk about “brainwashing,” take a look in the mirror.

Just so all you all know. I have a supply of special glasses that block the Obama Mind Control commercials. They may look like cheap plastic, but they are really a sophisticated microfiber that blocks out the mind control images.

They even have no UN forces in the US stamped right on the lens, but you can’t see it unless you are a victim of mind control.

I will sell them for $1000 a piece. First come First serve. Delivery in 4 weeks. No shipping charge for the first 500 customers.

Definition of fascism from Mirriam-Webster:
1. often capitalized: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2. a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

I wasn’t around for Mussolini, Hitler; I was around, but never visited Span when Franco was dictator of Spain.

According to the definition of fascism in Mirriam-Webster, Obama is not a fascist.

But the Republican Karl Rove Dictionary may have a different definition for fascism. However, I don’t consider the Karl Rove Dictionary a credible dictionary.

So, Will, choose another term other than fascist to define Obama.

This quote came from the Former Premier of the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved 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 America . 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, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
