A Clear and Present Warning
The social-Darwinist ingredient in progressive jurisprudence is the notion of the state as an organic principle, informed by the general will of society and by the particular facts, circumstances, and history of a people. Subject to no fixed limits, eschewing belief in objective justice, the state follows a path of incessant growth and flexibility, limited only by the ever-changing needs of society. As dictated by the laws of progress and evolution, the state moves society along an inevitable ascent. By application of “scientific” expertise and rationalizing administration, government directs this growth. Expressly left behind is Madisonian constitutionalism and its notions of natural rights, limited government, the rule of law, prevention of faction, and vigilance against the possibility of overly centralized and unaccountable government.
Need I say that Barack Obama and his minions represent the precise attack on the Constitution as described above? Read the whole thing at National Review Online.

Fighting Back Against War on Conservative Radio
Yesterday we reported how Barack Obama intends to launch an all-out attack on conservative talk radio.
Today, we consider how conservatives can fight back against this war on ideas that are not approved by the government.
My article today at Columbia Conservative Examiner examines how broadcasters and talk show hosts can fight back. There are things ALL of us can do as well.

A Foreshadowing of Things to Come?
Read this leaflet carefully, as it may save your life or the life of a relative or friend.
In the next few months, personnel and facilities of some or all of the governmental agencies at the local, state, and Federal level listed below will be attacked and destroyed by free American men and women. Those personnel and facilities have been built and used over the past decade to deprive Americans of their basic human rights, including the right to be free from unreasonable arrests, searches, and seizures. The operations of these personnel and facilities violate the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As such, we are determined to destroy the totalitarian vermin who have placed their interests ahead of their fellow Americans, as well as all of the tyrants' tools possessed by those traitors.
This is an adaptation from a series of leaflets the U.S. sent out to Japanese citizens prior to the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some believe the day is coming when patriots will be warning fellow citizens of the dire circumstances to come, unless government immediately ceases its assault on our liberties and the Constitution.

Senator Graham Betrays Gun Owners
Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC, has betrayed the trust of gun owners--and that means most of the people who voted for him in his U.S. Senate re-election bid in 2008--by signing onto a bill, S.391, that would create a central, federally-controlled anti-gun database.
If your pediatrician asks your child about guns in your home, and your child is honest about your gun collection, that information will go into the database. So will the fact that your grandfather, who fought in this nation's wars and protected its streets, was recently diagnosed with depression. He will not longer be allowed to purchase a firearm.

Be prepared to get fighting mad. This bill is an onslaught against American liberty!

I Just Had to Do It...
The Pam Geller story concerning the Louisiana man who was detained by law enforcement for doing nothing more than displaying a 'Don't Tread on Me' bumper sticker is so explosive and disturbing that I had to put it up on the Examiner.
Do me a big favor by clicking on the link and reading...and sharing. I want this story to be shouted far and wide.

Bill Quietly Becomes Law That Forbids Opposition! (UPDATE)
Note: Scroll down for an important update!
Have you ever heard of legislation in the United States of America that forbids any opposition to it?
Well, we now have it, and it is the law of the land, courtesy of the thugs in the White House and Congress.
Read all about it in my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Thank-you.
Update notice! I went to the Thomas site and downloaded the entire bill from top to bottom so that I could examine it myself. Indeed, the amendment that prevented opposition was included in the final document as a provision to prevent employees in these agencies from engaging in partisan political activity while on the job. I stand corrected.

"Obama's Communist Attraction"
Learning from J. Edgar Hoovers, “A Study Of Communism,” the parallels between the attractions of communism presented (economic, sociological, political and psychological) and the current Obama administrations appeal are startling. Hopefully this may help those who worship the dangerous administration, reflect on just what it is they are being led to. The destruction of every freedom they now take for granted.
There is absolutely no doubt that Obama has an affinity for Communist ideals. This article lays out in striking detail the systematic plan of Obama and company to infringe on the liberties of American citizens.

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Major gun rights legislation has been proposed in the Montana legislature that would override any federal restrictions! This would be a major triumph if passed. (H/t to Mike Vanderboegh via Bob Pooler).

Mike McCarville says that a deal may be in the works for a merger between 2 major newspapers in Oklahoma, due to declining readership and ad revenue.

Gun Rights Examiner posts Codrea's column for today, 'Dreams of Obama.'
Fox News is reporting that Israel has withdrawn all troops from Gaza as of this morning. Interesting that this coincides with Obama's first full day of office...

Sebastian has news that indicates if yesterday's trend continues, Obama will be great for increasing membership in the NRA.

Jack Booted Thugs
Apparently it is now part of the politically correct mindset to view terms such as 'jack booted thugs' as part of an anti-law enforcement mentality.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Growing up in a small southern town as I did, I was around fire, police, and sheriff's officials during the entirety of my upbringing. I happen to know that many if not most of these persons are the salt of the earth. They are good men and women doing the best job they can.
Yet I am one of the first to use the term 'jack booted thug' when I see law enforcement run amok, such as the Bill Clinton-Janet Reno murderous raid on the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, and the senseless, spineless, and despicable murder of the Weavers at Ruby Ridge--all compliments of federal law enforcement agents.
And of course, the ATF is the penultimate example of jack booted thuggery with the manner in which they treat firearms dealers and gun owners in general.
Anyone who truly understands the vocabulary of those of us who love and cherish liberty knows that 'jack booted thug' is never used in an attempt to paint a broad brush stroke of all law enforcement personnel.
It takes a special kind of law enforcement person or persons to qualify for the term. That kind of person is usually oblivious to the rights of citizens and drunk with their own power. You know the kind.
And, as long as there are those out there who continue to use their 'authority' to trample on human liberty, squelch the right of the people to self-defense including the use of guns, and generally look askance at anyone who questions big government, then I will continue to use the term 'jack booted thugs' to describe them.
Believe me, there are going to be lots and lots more of these types around after January 20.

Texas Fred reports that the U.S. military is set to carry out its first execution since 1961.

The same principle applies--the loss of liberty on the part of business owners to steer their businesses as they see fit.
Gateway Pundit says that the 'Obama factor' weighs heavy in the current market crash.

Obama's Stealth Method to Silence Conservatives
A growing consensus among conservatives who watch politics closely is that Barack Obama is way too smart to attack conservative talk radio directly by bringing back 'the Fairness Doctrine' (or, the Censorship Doctrine).
This school of thought maintains that to attack conservative critics head-on with a frontal assault would only cause a backlash of gargantuan proportions.
Thus, Obama and his appointees plan on using the stealth method. They will go behind the scenes using the FCC to gradually change the manner in which the airwaves are managed.
Local oversight boards would be created to monitor radio content, and, should someone on one of the boards complain that a radio station is not providing adequate 'local, unbiased news coverage,' then the board could conceivably move to have the station's broadcast license revoked.
As Jack Thompson states in his explosive article in Human Events entitled, 'Obama's New Fairness Doctrine,'
The entirety of Thompson's article can be found at Human Events.
Apparently, the Obama team's top priority as they move to change American society from top to bottom is to mount a stealth attack on free speech. This way they get rid of conservative critics in the public marketplace of ideas.

This, then, is the historical template that Obama, Podesta, and their FCC maven Rivera intend to use to do something about the curse of conservative talk radio in America: Redefine FCC “localism” to give community activists the right to demand more local, liberal content. If station ownership does not comply, then licenses will be revoked and given to minority owners.And thus, conservative voices would be silenced without re-implementing the Fairness Doctrine but by simply changing the definition of 'localism' in radio by creating active local boards to monitor content and shut down stations entirely if they fail to comply with their local board's directives.

Free Speech Bloggers Threatened by Obama-Thugs
'Urban Grind has written me with a threat to shut down the blog Jews against Obama. Any lawyers out there? Isn't the blog protected by free speech? Since when was truth deemed obscene? Since Obama's election. If this flies, no one is safe.'
Remember, the Obama campaign threatened numerous television stations, radio outlets, and newspapers, attempting to prevent them from running McCain-Palin ads that told the truth about Barack Obama.
Why would we think he would let bloggers off the hook?
Read the entire story HERE.
The Language of Oppression
One of the top bloggers in the nation, Pamela Geller, shares an email she received from a person who knows what it's like to live under oppressive government. Here is an excerpt:
Read the entire thing by clicking on Geller's name in the opening sentence above.
I was born in Cuba, and know the language of Communism, Obama speaks it well. My grandfather's family had to flee Lebanon because of the Muslims to Cuba. We fled Cuba because of Castro.Yet there is hatred out there in America directed toward those who would call attention to Obama's credibility problems. That hatred is epitomized in this comment received by Geller:
Soon we will shut down your hate spewing web sites. We will confiscate your firearms. In prison, you will get an education on the error of your ways. We will take your children and raise them as our own and instill in them the values of social justice. We will have a new American Republic of justice and order for all!
