A friend of mine sent this to me and I had to post it immediately. See what parallels to the current day you find in this 1934 Chicago Tribune political cartoon:

Obama Pays Off His Voters 50 Billion
Look Familiar?
It's not rocket science folks. We need to stop spending like some 18 year old kid who hopes his credit card will score him some action with the head cheerleader. Unfortunately, the reasons behind our spending aren't so benign.
Obama is paying off his voting base-- with $50 billion of your cash.
Instead of putting the pressure on elected politicians to balance their budgets with their own tax revenues, Obama sees an opportunity to curry favor with the Dem base by calling for a $50 billion dollar bailout of state and city politicians to hand off cash to their government employees. But the truth is: these people aren't in danger of losing their jobs, and are far better off than the average American worker. Wrote Pat Buchanan in an article for realclearpolitics:
Government workers enjoy far greater job security than private-sector workers. At the state and local level, their average pay and benefits, about $40 an hour, far exceed the $27 per hour in the private sector. The federal worker has it even better, receiving $30,000 a year more in pay and benefits than the average worker in the private sector.
Obama's proposal is thus about taking care of his own and the Democratic Party's political base.
Consider. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the American Federation of Teachers, the Transport Workers Union of America and other government unions in the AFL-CIO are all powerhouses of the Democratic Party.
Obama is calling for a taxpayer rescue of the political class to which he belongs, to spare it the painful duty tens of thousands of business executives have had to perform. Private employees -- 25 million of whom are out of work, underemployed or have given up looking for jobs -- may be expendable, but government workers are not.
Whatever happened to making local politicians responsible for their own and supporting the private sector? I'll tell you what: the liberal agenda to grow government. Why? Because Democrats = Big Government. The bigger government is, the larger the Democrat base becomes. And currently, government comprises nearly 40% of the American economy.
Many opponents of the Obamanation have worn t-shirts or carried signs depicting him as the Joker from the Dark Knight. Although humorous, I never got the connection. However, in thinking about this payoff, he does remind me of Jack Nicholson's Joker in the 1989 version during a scene in which he parades through the streets on a huge, ostentatious float, tossing out free money to gain popularity with the citizens of Gotham city. Of course, he soon after poisons them all! Embedding is disabled for the video but check it out here.

Black Liberal Rage Spits in the Face of History
This story profoundly upsets me. A true affront to patriotism happened on Tuesday June 8, at a peaceful protest by the North Carolina Tea Party Patriots who were opposing government bailouts in front of Rep. Mel Watt’s (D-N.C.) Greensboro office. A leftist loony toon named Governor Spencer, walked in off the street, disrupted the crowd, and became violent. He was not only physically aggressive to a man named Nathan Tabor (who happens to be a GOP chair holder), by pushing him unprovoked, but he even shoved the man's wife-- and then brutally assaulted Tabor with a series of cowardly sucker punches! His crazed attack came after multiple pleas from Tabor not to touch his wife amid the backdrop of Tabor's five year old child's terrified screams. This display of anti-Americanism is abhorrent, unacceptable, and worthy of all of our contempt. The clearest version of the youtube footage has been removed from the internet, but I found a copy taken from a home video of FOX News. Watch the footage for yourself, and realize the horror of intolerance at its worst:
Of course I am an American first, but as a black American patriot, I am disgusted and incensed at the way that he is portraying black men as violent haters of peaceful assembly, our 1st amendment, and of our liberty to dissent the government takeover of America. I would contend that the type of anger shown by this man, Governor Spencer, (who will never be governor of anything but his own deranged mind or hopefully a prison cell) is far more damaging than Obama's milquetoast "ass kick" comment. Black, white, asian, hispanic, we should all repudiate this cretin's behavior, and throw our support behind the grassroots movement sweeping the United States.
Now, to counter the disturbing imagery above, that perpetuates the stereotype of rabid, blood thirsty, left-wing black men, I would like to highlight a feature done on Glenn Beck's Founders' Friday on 5/28/10. The segment below exposes a part of American history that liberals don't want America to know. It shows the rich history of black American patriots who stood against the British, who risked their lives for country, and who lovingly toiled for our freedom. The victim narrative serves only the democrat platform because it divisively convinces Americans, both black and white, that blacks cannot and should not love America. Well, the history speaks for itself, and perhaps, if that crazed brute Spencer had known his history, he would have seen that he's got some true Black American role models that delivered and died for our nation, unlike Nobama:
I hope you learned something new today. And regardless of this information's novelty to you personally, please continue spread the word that there is a significant counterbalance to Spencer's freedom hating fists: It's the voice of patriots of all races who understand that we have to stand up to bigots like him to take back America
before the government enslaves us all.

Make the Conservo-Flip!
I'll admit that I grew up a liberal. Coming where I come from it was natural to always vote democrat and to believe in a prescribed ideology. Even as a child something didn't feel right but I rolled with the hypocrisy wagon... for as long as I could. Ignorant of history and of socio-political reality, I lambasted Reagan out of habit with stock school yard quips, and even poked fun at Bush for his misstatements and poor optics during Katrina. But it was all halfhearted, and I didn't know why. Today I do.
As a child I believed in the promise of America. I knew that no matter who I wanted to be or what I wanted to do, my goals were attainable because of the flag that I flew and the anthem that I sang. Some people tried to tell me that, as a black boy from Harlem, I would need a handout (read: affirmative action) or social welfare to achieve a sustainable life. That's not what I'd learned from our founders or from my parents who worked at prestigious private schools so that I would be able to receive a world class private education. Although I held the ideals of a free America in my heart, I noticed that things began to change. Although our country was under attack, we stood divided on protecting our nation. Despite the fact that we grew further and further in debt to foreign powers, we continued to borrow beyond our means and become beholden to alien interests. Notwithstanding that our founders believed in limited government and personal freedom, our liberties have been eroded, and stolen, to feed a bloated, pork laden federal government that scoffs at States' Rights!
We've got the ills of Obamacare, the underfunding of our armed forces, and as many of you know, by 2015 our national debt will have skyrocketed to an unthinkable, untenable, unprecedented $19.6 trillion. And did you know that our Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation--- all of our most important founding documents now come with this disclaimer:
I believe in the constitution, and I don't need a disclaimer to tell me that I have the right to free speech, and to make sure that our government works for us!
In these times it will take strong leadership from the people to remake America into the land in which free men and women have the rights to personal and State Liberty, to choose their health care, to arm and defend themselves, to expect their government to keep its hands out of their pockets, and trust that it won't relinquish their childrens' future to a penurious, socialist existence, dominated by the Chinese.
That is why it is only conservatives who can take back America! And we have to do it by going to the polls, taking the fight to the streets,
and forming networks of like minded patriots who will truly "kick ass" (and not like Obama's weak rhetoric about BP)!
I am a conservative because our forefathers were. And even though they are liberal, my parents taught me to treasure the American dream. So I say to you now, the country is reflected in the state of our beloved gulf coast: mired in thick, heavy ooze that weighs us down, pollutes our ideals, and tries to obscure our natural beauty.
But unlike the government we have the tools to wrest ourselves from the sludge and purify our own waters or freedom and liberty, with our god-given bravery and courage!
Never give up the fight. I am with you. God bless you all. RISE UP!

The Tea Party Bump
Will you be following the 12 state congressional and gubernatorial primaries happening today? You should be. This is a pivotal time for American politics, and primaries like those in Nevada are proving how powerful grassroots organization can be against the establishment. However, the incumbents and establishment candidates are banking on the hope that tea party candidates will not have general election appeal. Don't make them right. Become a Flipper and check out http://www.flipthishouse2010.com. Make sure that our elected government is by the people and for the people.
Remember: ”Man is not free unless government is limited. As government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan

Do You Feel Stimulated?
As you must know the jobs report that just came out last Friday was abysmal and sent the Market into a tailspin. I ask you this: How can taxpayers have spent $862,000,000,000 in Obama "stimulus" and the Department of Labor reports that unemployment is still a staggering 9.7 percent? Then I ask you a follow up question: Why won't the government fess up and reveal real unemployment which is actually closer to 17 percent?
I'll tell you why. Its because they don't want to admit that the socialist agenda has been an abject failure. Joe Biden is even parading around on television professing that the stimulus has been an "absolute success". America, you know that's not the truth. You see it in your communities. You see it on the news. You know it in your mind and in your heart, because you have common sense. You won't be taken in. You know that, in an America that relies on government workers to inflate the jobs report--- often in corrupt ways--- something is horrifyingly wrong.
It is time to take the country back from the gaping jaws of socialism because its counter to our founding. It was Thomas Jefferson who said that we need a: "a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."
This can't be done by robbing loyal taxpaying citizens of their hard earned tax dollars, redistributing wealth, and giving everyone a government job! We need to let the market do its work. We need to let business flourish. And we need to keep the hand of Big Government out of our bank accounts, and leave the decision making to mothers and fathers around the kitchen table. Let the States rule or let the Big Barack Bureaucrats drive our country into the ground!
Helen Thomas finally resigned with your support. Let's force Barry out too. Maybe he'll take her advice and go live in Germany or Poland!!
