Check out the Video of  'Glenn Beck: The "Progressive" Movement

Learn how this has been lurking behind the scenes for 100 years. Learn why it is progressives (communists) that gave us the Fed Reserve and why it is progressives now in congress who are leading the nation in this destructive direction.

Glenn Beck: The "Progressive" Movement (2010.01.29)

This is powerful! Very well done.

Sounds like a nice catchy phrase, Union... hmmm. Unions like this are designed to control the behavior of people. If the "Union" thinks they can do this just a few years into their reign, what will it be like in the next 10 years. Because this is where the real seat of power rests for the UN, and given that the UN has already been pushing worldwide laws like these and others what can we expect. More on the UN later.
Look at what the EU is trying to push on it member countries. If we are battling the will of minorities here in the U.S. what shall we expect when they have the UN and Trade Unions backing them.
In this great movement sweeping America we see our selves as volunteers but we must ask what is the duty of a volunteer that faces the extinction of freedom? If you are swimming and begin to drown you will swim frantically. That is a voluntary action but it is still swim or die. There is no back door where you can get away for a break. This enemy does not sleep. How serious are you willing to take this? What must you put aside to save yourself and your nation from sinking into the depths of totalitarianism?
This fight can be won in America because there is not a seed, no it has already grown into a mighty oak with deep roots of freedom. We posses a mighty promise of freedom for the whole world. It is you who must stand firm, you cannot lie down.

Wednesday January 6, 2010 Italian High Court Defends Crucifixes, National Sovereignty against European Human Rights Court By Hilary White ROME, January 6, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Italy’s Constitutional Court has issued a ruling asserting the supremacy of Italian law and custom over the orders of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). In November, an order that all crucifixes must be removed from Italian state schools from the Strasbourg-based ECHR caused outrage in Italy. Legal experts warned that the decision would undermine both religious freedoms and national sovereignty in all European Union member states. But the Italian High Court has said that where rulings by the ECHR conflict with provisions of the Italian Constitution, such rulings “lack legitimacy.” Piero A. Tozzi, of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute said that the decision was intended as a warning against ideologically-motivated rulings by the Strasbourg court and against its overstepping jurisdictional boundaries. The decision was followed just before Christmas by a bill, presented in the Italian Senate, that would regulate the display of crucifixes in all state schools. Senator Stephen Ceccanti, a professor of constitutional law, said the bill would require crucifixes to be displayed, “given the value of religious culture of the historical heritage of the Italian people and the contribution of the values of constitutionalism, and as a sign of the value and limits of the Constitution.” The bill, presented in the Senate December 17, proposes to deal with the problem of children whose parents take offense at the presence of a crucifix by allowing other religious symbols to be displayed, or for the crucifix to be removed in individual cases where no mutual agreement can be found. In November, the ECHR, a body of the European Council that is influential in EU politics, had upheld a complaint by Soile Lautsi, an atheist Finnish woman with Italian citizenship. She said that her children were obliged to see a crucifix every day in the state school they attended and that this constituted a violation of their religious freedom. She was awarded €5000 (US $7200) compensation, to be paid by the Italian Government. The ECHR ruling said, “The compulsory display of a symbol of a given confession in premises used by the public authorities ... restricted the right of parents to educate their children in conformity with their convictions.” The decision of the ECHR had already spurred national outrage among Italians, making front page headlines for weeks. Mayors of several municipalities throughout the country responded to the Court’s demand for removal by instead ordering all schools and public offices that did not have them to display a crucifix or face fines up to €500. One mayor, Umberto Macci of Priverno in the province of Latina, Lazio, central Italy, even dispatched local police to inspect schools to see that crucifixes were in place. The Italian government pledged to appeal the decision to the court, citing Article 7 of the Italian constitution which reads, “The state and the church are, each one in its own domain, independent and sovereign.” The relationship between the Catholic Church and the Italian state are regulated by the Patti Lateranensi, the Lateran Treaty, that establishes mutual recognition and cohabitation of the secular and the religious domains and states clearly that crucifixes must be hung in state schools and court rooms. Roger Kiska, European legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, said the ECHR ruling disregarded the “cultural sovereignty of each member state” of the EU and that the Cassation Court ruling is a signal that Italy may be prepared to break with the ECHR if the government loses the appeal. Kiska speculated that the Cassation Court ruling may embolden Ireland's Supreme Court should the ECHR rule against the country’s constitutional protection for unborn children in the A, B, & C v. Ireland case. Religious discrimination law expert, Neil Addison told LifeSiteNews.com that the ECHR ruling combined with the recent passage of the Lisbon Treaty placing all EU member states under one jurisdiction, could have widespread effect on religious freedom in Europe. Addison said, “Unless the European Court of Human Rights overrules itself on appeal, Italy, and indeed the rest of Europe, has a serious problem.” The ECHR ruling received negative responses from Greece and Poland, with Polish president Lech Kaczynski and the leadership of the Greek Orthodox Church both warning that there would be no removal of crucifixes or other religious symbols in their countries. Tuesday November 17, 2009 Italian Mayors Order Crufixes Put in Classrooms in Revolt against European Court Ruling Polish president and Greek Orthodox Church also hit out at decision against crucifixes in classrooms By Hilary White ROME, November 17, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Poland's president, Lech Kaczynski and the leadership of the Greek Orthodox Church have both hit out at a decision by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) attempting to ban the display of crucifixes in Italian public schools. At the same time, a general revolt against the ruling in municipalities all over Italy has been started by public officials, who are now ordering the display of crucifixes in schools, and levelling fines for non-compliance. The November 3rd ECHR ruling, made in response to a complaint by an Italian secularist campaigner, said that the display of crucifixes violated the religious rights of pupils. During Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday in Warsaw, Poland's Kaczynski said that "nobody in Poland will accept the message that you can't hang crosses in schools." "One shouldn't count on that. Perhaps elsewhere, but never in Poland," Kaczynski said. The reaction from Poland has touched a national nerve in a country where crucifixes and other religious symbols were banned under the atheistic communist rule and are now a prominent symbol of national sovereignty. Lech Walesa, the former president and leader of the Solidarity movement that eventually freed Poland from its Soviet-controlled communist dictatorship, challenged the court ruling in a TV interview Thursday, saying, "We must respect minorities but also protect the rights of the majority." At the same time, Archbishop Ieronymos, the Archbishop of Athens and primate of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece has also spoken out, urging all Europeans to oppose the ruling, saying the court is ignoring the role of Christianity in forming Europe's identity. The Greek Church has intervened in the case in response to a Greek citizen whose son is studying in Italy, the BBC reports. The reactions from Greece and Poland reflect the warning made recently by UK legal expert Neil Addison, who told LifeSiteNews.com that, because of the intricacies of European Union law, the Italian crucifix ruling is likely ultimately to affect all 27 member states. Addison, an author and expert on anti-discrimination law, said that if the Italian government loses their appeal, the ruling could result in the enforced exclusion of all public displays of Christian symbols all over Europe. Addison specifically warned that in countries like Greece and Cyprus, the common display of icons in public places would be under threat. In fact, since the November 3rd ruling was announced, a secularist activist group in Greece, the Greek Helsinki Monitor, has called for a similar ruling to be applied to that country. The group is urging trade unions to challenge the presence of religious symbols in Greek schools. (Ahh the trade unions. Once again we see that trade unions have this clout. What about the majority? And what about the violent nature of trade unions? What happened here in America when union people beat up protesters? Unions become an arm of the governments power.) The BBC reports that the Orthodox Church plans to hold an emergency Holy Synod to hash out a plan to oppose the ruling. Meanwhile, Italian papers are reporting a general revolt across the country against the Strasburg ruling. All schools in the League Monza in the Lombardy region, have been given seven days to ensure that crucifixes are displayed in every classroom. The mayor of Besana in Brianza, Vittorio Gatti, signed an order levelling a €150 fine for non-compliance. Mayor Gatti said, "We will give principals time to adjust, but then the order will be respected." In a statement published on the municipality's website, the mayor referred to the ECHR decision, saying, "We believe that the crucifix is a symbolic expression in Italy of the religious origin of such important civic values as tolerance, mutual respect, enhancement of the person, freedom, solidarity and rejection of any discrimination." "I believe I have decided the right thing. I have always seen crucifixes in schools and I believe we should have respect for our traditions and defend them against those who do not even know what they're talking about," Gatti said.   The mayor of Priverno in the province of Latina, Lazio, central Italy, signed an order which provides for the maintenance of crucifixes in classrooms of primary schools throughout the municipality. Mayor Umberto Macci, instructed the municipal police to check that crucifixes are in place, with non-compliance to be fined €500. Citing 1924 and 1927 regulations on school furniture, which provided for the display of crucifixes in schools, the mayor said they are "an expression of fundamental civic values and Italian cultural values." The mayor of Ascoli Piceno in the in the Marche region near the central east coast, said the crucifix expresses "in a symbolic way, the origin of religious values of the republican constitution. I am referring to freedom, mutual respect, appreciation of the person, solidarity and the rejection of any discrimination." Mayor Guido Castelli cited state laws that agreed the display of crucifixes in classrooms "does not seem open to criticism over the principle of secularism" of the Italian State.

One of the questions I like to ask people is "what does limited government mean to you?"

This term is one of the planks of the Republican Party. We hear it all the time but because they don't do anything that resembles something that might be considered limited government we aren't sure what the statement means.

Ask a Patriot what limited government means and they will tell you less government.

That is refreshing.

I'd like to present two new terms for all of us who feel the burden of a government that is too big and has too much authority and power over the citizens of this nation.

It is called SHRINKING GOVERNMENT.

And another ELIMINATE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS.

Gleaned from an email....

Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY....  during the Carter Administration?

Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!

Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!

Ready??

It was very simple...and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977.

TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

AND NOW IT'S 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2  BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"

Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy.

AND, NOW, WE ARE GOING TO TURN THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?

HELLOOO!　 　 Anybody Home?

 

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.  But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...there can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one flag, the American flag..  We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.  And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

The Copenhagen Summit has nothing to do with protecting the climate. The following article makes clear that it was all about the communist rise to power through subjugation of capitalist countries. Can you see how serious this is?

Copenhagen, Denmark
U.N. Summit on Climate Change

Now that the circus is over and the roadies are packing up the tent, the clowns are on their way home and we all have some time to review what was said, done and demonstrated; we realize that amongst all the liars, scam artists and preening celebrities, there were some in attendance that were totally honest and truthful about what the whole 'climate crisis' thing is about.

Obama was not one of those. His ten minute speech was the predictable mind-numbing recital of catch phrases, lies and buzz words. (Yes, I watched and listened to whole thing and I'll never get back that wasted time.) His carbon-pumping plane ride trip was nothing more than a another "Hay yaw, look at me" stunt.

No, the honesty was delivered by Hugo Chavez. He made it perfectly clear in his speech why he was there, and it wasn't about Global Warming. It was about advancing Communism by destroying Capitalism. That's not just my interpretation of his words, that was his message plainly spoken with no hidden meanings.

TheStar.com reports:

... Chavez painted capitalism as the enemy of the earth — not to mention the cause of AIDS, poverty and war — in a speech to the UN Summit on Climate Change ...
"The cause of all this disastrous situation is the destructive capitalist system," the Venezuelan socialist leader told delegates Wednesday.

"Capitalism is the road to hell."

"I would exhort the government and the people of the earth ... to say that if the destructive nature of capitalism exists, let's fight against it and make it obey us," he said. "If capitalism resists, then we have to give battle against capitalism and open our way to save mankind."

If the putrid Chavez was the only one spouting the commie mantra, it would be of no portent. I wouldn't be spending my Saturday evening typing about it. But I am typing and you are reading, so there must have been others? Oh, you betcha. The building was slam full of commies.

Lenore Taylor, reporting for TheAustralian.com:

When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.

When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.

But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ - “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation.

Eh? what? Did you really believe that all the foot stomping and fist shaking of the warmies was about saving dear mother earth from the bad co2? You foolish child.
Those ingrates in Copenhagen cheered at the call for the death of Capitalism - and that is what it's all about.

IT'S THE COMMUNISM STUPID

The climate change scam is engineered and designed to kill capitalism. If you want to know why they want to kill capitalism, just simply ask yourself "when capitalism is dead, what replaces it?"

Question: I wonder how many of our beloved Hollywood clowns that were in the audience felt ashamed to be among all those America-hating socialists?

Even more honesty was on display outside. Have a look at the following video.

Ya see that? They carry a banner with the famous Che image overlaying a map of South America. Gone are the days in which the leftists wore that image and claimed ignorance of the evil that was Che G. Because, as shown in the photo, they put his name on it. That means they know who Che was, and what Che was - and they are Oki Doki with that. They want their communism and don't care if another sadistic serial murderer (or two)(or a hundred) rises up to lead them and their hammer-sickle banners.
Crying for mother earth? Worried about Global Warming? Scared of carbon dioxide?

Man made Climate Change & Global Warming; it is and always has been about redistributing the wealth of those that create it to those that waste it.

 

Statement from Republican Sue Myrick Rep.NC 9th District website. This is a very serious statement and it is about time. We need to hear from all republicans on this and in this way. Say it the way it is or we will get rid of you too.

The following is from Representative Sue Myrick's website under newsroom.

This protest happened in September, 2009 but apparently it wasn't enough.

The fraud, deception, deceit and bribery occurring in Washington regarding Senator Ben Nelson’s vote for the ‘any’ health care bill is standard operating procedure. The way a President, Majority Leader in the Senate and the Speaker of the House of... Representatives do business would land any ‘average’ American citizen in prison!

I wasn’t a Member of Congress long when I learned this lesson. I was not supporting a major piece of legislation – and had been very vocal about it. I received a phone call from the Transportation Committee Chairman’s office, who offered me $15 million to help finish Interstate 485 around Charlotte. I had championed that road when I was Mayor and they knew it was important to me. I said my vote was not for sale. When politicians make such deals, in my opinion, they are compromising the integrity of their constituents who put their trust in them. So, what happened with Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska, to change his mind about the health care bill, is not new.

First it has been reported that Senator Nelson was threatened by the President that if he did not vote for the ‘any’ health care bill, that Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska would be closed. (Change we can believe in?) Then the Senator was offered free Medicaid for Nebraska. (That means that you and the rest of us Americans will be paying for it.)

Playing ‘let’s make a deal’ with YOUR money is how those politicians flex their power egos and control your life. THINK: 537 people (House, Senate, President, Vice President) control the lives of 308 million Americans – plus those not yet born who will also have to keep on paying the bill.

You are now being lied to, deceived, manipulated and robbed of your hard earned money – money you and your family need. Next – higher taxes. You had better become active now! It’s Christmas – they don’t think you’re paying attention.

This health care bill is a momentous fraud. Those truly needing health care could be covered for a miniscule amount- compared to what this bill will cost you.

Instead the pirates in Washington continue to divide the fruits of your labor.

Only you can stop it. Remember the lone student in China who stood in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in front of a tank? In effect, he was saying ‘give me liberty or give me death’. Obviously here in America it will take tens of millions hitting the streets in protest to stand a chance of stopping this continuing march toward totalitarianism.

Sue Myrick

To all my friends, liberal,

 

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.

 

 

 To all rest I wish you a,

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2010.

We need leaders who will stand on principle.

Political correctness has muddled any reason or clarity.

We can’t even use the word terrorist to apply to a terrorist.

Life is not utopia, a world that some wish could be. Life is what is real. Those who wish to hide behind the façade of utopianism must never rule over us. Theirs is a life of temporary pleasure for all only to be devoured by the reality of evil intentions. The few who seek to deceive the masses for their own rise to power are the ones who receive the benefit of this blind utopian ambition.

Set your heart to stand up for what you believe. In these times there are no options to sit idly by. It is no longer an option to make phone calls and write emails only. We must unite openly and en-mass. We must wear out the sidewalks and march in the streets. Don’ t leave your life to those who are weak and vision less. Support strong leadership and proclaim to the people that there is a hope and a future. Victory resides in the people, “the only legitimate fountain of power”. James Madison
