The November Election Will Set The Course For America in 2016

 

But the remarkable thing about Wajda’s long-gestating biopic of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa is that despite the director’s advanced age (87 at the premiere), it’s his most exhilarating, propulsively energetic film in decades, and not just because the soundtrack is packed with punk-tinged pro-Solidarity songs. - Source: http://www.moviemail.com/film/dvd/Walesa/
Walesa: Man of Hope and Change - MovieMail

In the early 1980's, Lech Walesa helped to throw the Russians out of Poland. For his heroic efforts, he would later be elected president of the Republic of Poland. And for his sacrifice of putting his life and his family's lives on the line for freedom for the Polish people, Walesa was given the Nobel Peace Prize.

However, you need to know this same Polish Freedom Fighter recently warned America that it was no longer the moral authority of the world. The country better listen, Democrats successfully transforming the U.S. from the world leader it had enjoyed for decades until Obama's election in 2008.

Around 30 years after Lech Walesa received his Noble Peace Prize, Barack Obama would be given the same award for doing absolutely nothing. Walesa, on the other hand, had confronted a dangerous enemy against his people's right for self determination and why Poland is considered a republic. This is as America morphs from its republic into a basic democracy, as some radical members of Congress and wealthy aloof pariah want to rewrite our founder's document.

Lech Walesa, former electrician turned activist against Soviet rule over Poland.      The Anti-War candidate started one war already in Libya. Now he just needs to start another one so he can qualify for a rare double Nobel Peace Prize.ess and unresolve. - Front Page Magazine, April 2013.
"Solidarity's charismatic president Lech Walesa became the voice of freedom from Communism in the 1980s. Attempts to suppress the movement, founded at the Gdansk's Lenin Shipyards, with martial law failed. It swept to power in the June, 1989 elections." - TelegraphUK   "When Bush was just discussing Iraq, the anti-war machine went into gear. But Obama moving troops over to Jordan is no big deal. Nothing to see here. Move along." - FrontPage

The most danger Obama would face in receiving his award was to climb onboard Air Force One to fly to Oslo, Norway. He could have thanked the committee and rejected the prize, wanting to first serve a reasonable amount of time in office. But the fact is he didn't.

Liberals had wet their panties, Democrats excited the world's greatest progressives had given their leader an award for what he might do, showing how disconnected the European community had become from its past when fighting the Third Reich on its soil and then Soviet expansion in nearby countries.

It is why the fascist concept of multiculturalism is now allowed to sweep these European nations, moderate Muslims able to infiltrate and continue to try to establish needed Sharia Law into overtaken neighborhoods. It is at the heart of why Muslims usually refuse to integrate into western societies, basically roping off one growing area at a time so that their culture can eventually rule.

"City councilwoman Bianca Debaets believes a “misplaced argument” over religious sensitivities has moved Brussels to put up the light sculpture. She points to the fact that it display not be referred to 'Christmas' in any way to make her point." - The Right Perspective
In Brussels an electronic winter tree replaces the usual Christmas Tree and Nativity Scene so as to not offend the growing Muslim citizens. - TheRightPerspective

It is not unlike how citizens in parts of a German city have found themselves unable to celebrate their most important tradition that includes the simple display of Christmas lights. Or an outdoor Christmas tree being banned in Brussels, its centuries old tradition found offensive enough that moderate Muslim wouldn't support its display during a season of glad tidings.

A moderate Muslim in America demands that a sign with the word "bacon" on it be taken down as offensive to her. Or an accepted Muslim leader reminding the city of Brussels that by the birth rates all citizens will soon have to live under Sharia Law. Then there is the event where around one hundred young Islamists stoned Christians with bottles, cans, and pieces of concrete on American soil in Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim Americans destroying the rights of Christian Americans to protest. Yet the police told the Christians to leave, Dearborn Michigan now reported to be at least 35% Muslim.

And has anyone noticed a Koran-trained American president designating some murders in America as a result of "workplace violence," code word in his administration for known Jihads. How would they know? Because the rabid killers were shouting out loud Islamic phrases from the Koran when they slaughtered, (not just murdered), their victims for being infidels.

Bill O'Reilly seeks out informed opinions on the streets of NYC. - FOXNews, May17, 2013

Most Americans care little about these issues or of Obama accepting a Noble Peace Prize he didn't earn. Just like they didn't care much about Benghazi or Obama lying about their healthcare plans. How do I know?

They voted him to lead the country again in the presidential election of November 2012. Almost all Americans probably have no idea nor cared that Obama had also snubbed Lech Walesa, as if Walesa knew less about defending the world against tyranny than Obama, America's duffer president.

Well it turns out Obama and his JV team of administrators didn't know how bad tyranny could become. That is until the photos started flowing in from Iraq of the murders of thousands of innocent farmers and peasants. Adults that had cooperated with the Americans found their heads literally removed and put up on sticks for all to see, children of ISIS members seen carrying the human heads around. Even the Judge who bravely convicted Saddam to death was slaughtered.

"'There is a park in Mosul,' Mark Arabo told 'where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park.' According to Arabo, women are being raped, and then murdered, and men are being hanged." -  christianpakistan.com

In her party dress. "IS Militants Beheaded Children, Raped Women And Hanged Men Of Christian Community Of Mosul." - ChristianPakistan

"Obama Has Failed, America no Longer Leads the World." - Lech Walesa, Newsmax, Jan. 2014

Then there were stories of animals being rigged with remote controlled explosives, waiting for a dog or a cow to come near their owners. Even children were buried alive or beheaded, as this little girl gives testimony to, seeming to be in her birthday party dress and probably beheaded in front of her parents. All these innocent people paid the final price with their lives for Obama's massive indecisions, outright lies, and arrogant leadership.

To that end, the coming midterm election of November 2014 will be a vote by Americans to determine if they want their leaders to be more like Lech Walesa or continue with the dangerous social engineering of the Harvard- educated Barack Obama.

This is as the leaders of the Democrat Party seem to be better at working with Obama's assigned Czars than honoring their U.S. Constitution. It was Obama and the U.S. Congress that had sworn to uphold and defend our founding documents, Obama as president in front of black robes that later would administer no consequences for his lies; a Supreme Court that too often looks to a failing Europe for its decisions on political correctness.

And concerning our Supreme Court, I wonder how many Americans have forgotten about the Democrat Lite from the other political party in Washington D.C.? Do they know that only three Republicans abstained or voted No to approve Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1993 to the Supreme Court, allowing this far-left ACLU executive the lifetime position? One of those many Yea Republican votes came from John McCain, who still sits on the U.S. Senate today.

And when Americans vote in the coming midterm November, will they remember the beginning of the Democrat Party's 2011 OWS, the party seeing the rebellion of Marxists and socialists as if a gift from God, encouraging the destruction of property lead by Communists such as Columbia University's Frances Piven of Cloward and Piven fame. Protestors had defecated in the streets while smashing the windows of American businesses. OWS caused chaos across America until city governments got sick of it, tired of playing the game with the Democrats from Washington D.C.

DirectorBlue writes of those times:

"Among the formal supporters of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement are the Democrat Congressional Committee, Communist Party USA, the American Nazi Party, George Soros, ACORN, the SEIU, and the Obama White House."

Nancy Pelosi: God bless occupy Wall Street protestors. - MSNBC

The former Democrat leader of the U.S. House of Representative, Nancy Pelosi, even said of the crowd, God Bless Them, seeing the Communists and Obama's thugs as her political party's heroes.

Will America's voters remember a more recent event in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri, where hundreds of thugs robbed local stores, their faces caught on CCTV cameras. Obama's Eric Holder, the head of America's Department of Justice, (DOJ), had little interest in bringing them to justice, seeming to see their acts of violence as justified against these local business owners who had nothing to do with the event.

Holder instead only went after the arresting cop who reportedly had part of his face caved in from a large young adult man that had just stolen from a convenience store, roughing up the manager documented on the store's CCTV cameras.

Store owner closed his store, fearing violence. When he got home he watch these thugs break into his store live on CCTV cameras, Obama's DOJ, Eric Holder, thinking they may have deserved the bounty of another man's work, having nothing to do with the local incident except getting in the way of Obama's supporters.
Store owner closed his store, fearing violence. When he got home he watch these thugs break into his store live on CCTV cameras.

The town became a hot bed of disruption after the man's death, shot by the injured officer several times. It caused supporters of the Democrat Party such as Al Sharpton of MSNBC, to use the event to promote his constant political agenda that whites hated Obama because he was black, not because he was wrong.

The destruction of Ferguson has been so complete that the town may never recover from it, Democrat political correctness continuing to destroy lives they said they were trying to help.

It was no different than the leftist lobby using Matthew Shepard's death when years later it was discovered Shepard had been murdered by one of his own, a friend who had gone to parties with him to share drugs.

America has already endured many major changes in what its citizens believe, what they stand for, and for what those in our military would be willing to die for. That's because apple pie, mother, and the flag no longer have the meanings that were fought for in WWII. Not even close. The apple pie is mass produced, motherhood has a whole new definition with the womb the most dangerous place for many future Americans, while Obama gave our flag his honorary crotch-salute.

Why don't you take a few seconds and check out the nine items from the list below, these warnings written just six short years ago just before the Democrats elected Obama to lead the country. Read each topic and decide how many John Hawkins, writer and columnist, nailed back in March of 2008 of what Democrats would achieve or would come close to achieving with the help of Czars and far-left progressive organizations such as MoveOn.org and the Southern Poverty Law Center, (SPLC), after the presidential election of Obama in November of 2008.

Millions around the globe outside of America today have become confused. As they have toppled fascist governments and dictatorships because of America's past influence, they now wonder if a new America is rising into one of those dictatorships through its federal government's worship of social engineering while it attacks individual freedom and the family structure.

The family unit had been the heart of America's success and leadership, which attracted so many millions to its shores. The country used to get the best the world had to offer, millions looking for opportunities and the chance to prove themselves.

When Hope and Change is reduced to a marketing plan to spin. - 420magazine

Now too often the immigrants of today are searching for free stuff and paid social programs on the backs of the American taxpayer, as Obama tries to overwhelm America's social services in the name of Cloward and Piven. It was Cloward and Piven who tried to do the same in New York State in the 1980's when Walesa was fighting Communism on the soil of his homeland. It wasn't until the election of Mayor Rudy Giuliani that their game was exposed and stopped.

A new and dangerous progressive Democrat Party is behind all this destruction, one that tried to remove God out of its convention platform in 2012. It is filled to the brim with arrogance and self-adulation. Delegates to the convention for the DNC, their coming from all parts of liberal America, tried to send a message to the Israeli people that the Palestinians owned the city of Jerusalem, not Israel. It was a stunning disrespect for an American allies' homeland from a country that can't even identify individual terrorist attacks on its own soil with the correct name.

It is why this November's midterm election will tell the world and the rest of us where this ship of state is headed, and why the way someone was raised usually dictates the way they will lead. - Webmaster

The Top Nine "Changes" Barack Obama Would Make as President

By John Hawkins

"All change is not growth; as all movement is not forward." - Ellen Glasgow

As people who have followed Barack Obama closely over the last few months have long since realized, there has been very little substance to the man's campaign besides his determination to lose -- oops, I mean "end" -- the war in Iraq.

If you boil Obama's appeal down to its essential core, most of his supporters seem to like him because he's a relatively young, charismatic, black man who talks a lot about "change," "unity," and the "audacity of hope."

But, what does that tell you about how Obama would behave if he gets into office? Very, very little. After all, pretty much anybody, from Napoleon, to Fidel Castro, to Mickey Mouse could run on a platform of "hope," "change," and "unity" because it's so broad and meaningless.

Of course, that doesn't mean that Barack doesn't have an agenda. He most certainly does have one, but it's just an agenda that he tries to avoid talking about because the better Americans get to know him, the less appealing he's going to be.

So, with that in mind, let me take you through a short tour of some of Barack Obama's radical beliefs. In all fairness, I should note that he has flip-flopped on some of these issues after his Barney the Dinosaur style "I Love You, You Love Me" campaign for the presidency got into full swing. But, experience has taught us that you can put a lot more stock into what a politician says before he starts trying to desperately convince middle America to vote him into the White House, than after.

1.) Weakening America's Military:

Barack Obama has pledged, among other things, to make defense cuts during war time, to cut spending on national missile defense, that he won't weaponize space, to slow development of future combat systems, and to seek a "world without nuclear weapons." Is this a man who can be trusted as Commander-In-Chief?

2.) Losing the War in Iraq:

Obama is promising to throw away the hard earned gains our troops have made in Iraq by immediately removing combat brigades each month, regardless of the situation on the ground, and by having all of our "combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months." [while leaving a residual force.]

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff publicly warned Barack and, for that matter, Hillary that they could create a "chaotic situation" with their policy that could take the "gains we have achieved and struggled to achieve and turn them around overnight." Come on, Admiral, don't you know that Obama isn't going to listen to what the military has to say about a war when there's an election to be won?

3.) Gay Marriage:

As president, he says, "I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity."
Obama Flies Flag Overseas

Although Barack Obama claims to oppose gay marriage, in 2004 he said that he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, which is the only thing keeping the courts from imposing gay marriage on the whole country. If you want to see gay marriage become the law of the land in your state, no matter what the voters think, vote for Obama.

___________________________

[Obama lobbies 'gays' for edge over Hillary Letter to 'LGBT community' affirms he'd dump Defense of Marriage Act. He also would enact a Hate Crimes Bill via Matthew Shepard's killing in 1999. (Note: It was later determined Shepard was not murdered because he was gay. He was murdered by a friend he had gone to parties with, who was on a meth binge that night looking for drugs believing Shepard had them. Since gay marriage has been approved, lesbians view marriage through the eyes of Alice In Wonderland and a party with the Mad Hatter, creating marriage now for "throuples." As one Lesbian said to an audience in Australia, "Gay fight 'is a lie' to destroy marriage. - Webmaster)]

["What about Jesse Dirkhising and Jeffrey Curley? Are their memories now simply reduced to acceptable collateral damage in the name of political correctness . . . victims of love?" - Webmaster]


4.) Pro-Partial Birth Abortion:

"No compromise with the main purpose, no peace till victory, no pact with unrepentant wrong." - Winston Churchill

It's never a surprise to find a Democrat who's a big fan of abortion, but Obama goes above and beyond the call of duty. He had a perfect rating of 100% from NARAL in 2005, 2006, and 2007, opposes "notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions," and he even opposed banning partial birth abortions. If you want to see as many women as humanly possible in this country putting their own children to death via abortion, vote Obama. (Click graphic for video.)

5.) Legalizing Marijuana:

Obama, a former (we hope) druggy, who has admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, has said that he favors "decriminalizing marijuana." Perhaps you can't blame him for wanting to make it easier for people to get drugs since, after all, he used them and look how he turned out. If Barack gets into the White House, one day mothers all over America can tell their children that they'll never be anything in life if they use hard drugs and those children can reply, "Well, at least I can be President!"

6.) Handing 845 billion dollars of your money to other nations:

Obama's Global Poverty Act would commit the United States to spending, over the next 13 years, 845 billion dollars more than what we already do on global poverty. Obama followed that up with a release that said in part, "It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty..." If Obama actually believes that not only is the United States capable of "eliminating extreme poverty," but that we should actually make that utopian dream a "priority," then he's far too naive to be in the White House.

7.) If you think George Bush is a big spender, you haven't met Obama:

Even though the United States is already running a deficit, Obama is planning to push a whole host of new big government programs including a "10-year, $150 billion program to establish a green energy sector," a "$60 billion National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank," and a "nearly universal health care plan (whose annual price tag he low-balls at $50 to $65 billion)." If you're all for tax and spend liberalism and watching the deficit spiral even further out of control, there's no one you should want in the White House more than Obama.

8.) Amnesty and your tax dollars for illegal aliens:

Believe it or not, John McCain, the Republican who is most closely associated with catering to illegal aliens, is actually well to Barack Obama's right on the issue.

Obama favors drivers licenses for illegals, wants to give illegals welfare and Medicaid, wants to let them participate in Social Security, opposes making English our national language, and he favors a comprehensive approach to illegal immigration, AKA amnesty, that even John McCain now claims to oppose.

9.) Gun Control:

Obama is a perfect example of the stereotypical, liberal gun grabber. Obama has pledged to "Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons," has "opined unequivocally that D.C.'s ban was 'constitutional'," and in 1996, Obama, in a survey, "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns." If you're an opponent of the 2nd Amendment, who believes law abiding citizens shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves, Obama is your man.

America's mainstream media's protection of Obama's mistakes, its attacks on conservative and Christian supporters, and the promotion of Obama's social engineering onto the American people is not unlike the national media that helped the Third Reich to spread its government's message that Jews were the enemy of Germany and would need to be dealt with.

This photo was not actually aT the White House, but, regardless of WHERE it was taken, the fact is that he cancelled the National Day of Prayer, said that we are no longer a Christian nation, and has no problem taking part in Muslim prayer.  U.S. President Barack Obama bows to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio at MacDill Air Force Base on January 28, 2010, in Tampa, Florida.   Iorio had honored CAIR annually in Tampa with its own day in November 2008, acknowledging the large amout of Muslims living in the area. "Ayers, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, claims to abhor nostalgia ("Nothing is more boring than some old person going on and on about the way things used to be"). But he has been thinking lately about the past—both his and the country's—and soon he will likely be engaged in what he calls "a dialogue" about the sixties, the antiwar movement, and the radical life he led. The spur for this dialogue will be the publication of Fugitive Days (Beacon Press, $24), a memoir Ayers has written about the trajectory of his life, from a pampered son of the Chicago suburbs to a young pacifist to a founder of one of the most radical political organizations in U.S. history."
