Election 2008: "We the people" or "We the sheeple"

Please forward to all Obama supporters.

Below is a sample of what you will find on EarsToHear.net.

Which do you subscribe to? Take the sheeple test.Which will America be after Election 2008? Remain a Republic or become more of a Socialist State?

With Barack Obama as President, and a Democrat controlled Congress the "new and improved" progressive Constitution will be politically corrected beginning with:

We the sheeple of the United States, in order to form a more perfect global union, establish political correctness, rely on government to provide a cradle-to-grave-nanny-state of entitlements for our tranquility, the common defense of the Democratic Party by the mainstream media, promote the Marxists philosophy of general welfare at the unjustified mandated expense of taxpayers, and secure the blessings of liberty as ruled by a despotic branch to the posterity of atheists and sinners, do disdain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America as a living document that provides for no responsibility, accountability, or commitment, whether personal or collectively.

A Declaration of Dependence. Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you.

(Distinguishing between Patriots and cowards, our favorite Founder, Samuel Adams, said: "Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" PatriotPost.us)

"We the people" or "We the sheeple" Which do you subscribe to?

"[Obama’s] answer actually scared me even more. He said he wants to distribute wealth. And I mean, I’m not trying to make statements here, but, I mean, that’s kind of a socialist viewpoint. You know, I work for that. You know, it’s my discretion who I want to give my money to; it’s not for the government decide that I make a little too much and so I need to share it with other people. That’s not the American Dream." Joe the Plumber

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." ... "The worship of God is a duty...Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature… I never doubted the existence of the Deity, that he made the world, and governed it by His Providence...The pleasures of this world are rather from God's goodness than our own merit... Whoever shall introduce into the public affairs the principles of primitive (essential) Christianity will change the face of the world... Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." - Benjamin Franklin
Americans must choose which they subscribe to? "We the people" or "We the sheeple?" Remain a Republic or become a Socialist State of massive cradle-to-grave-nanny-state taxpayer funded entitlements with the failed bureaucracy of government control? Do we want our American descendants to know Biblical moral virtue or political correctness? In 1787, when the Founding Fathers had hammered out the U.S. Constitution in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin told an inquiring woman what the gathering had produced, "A republic, madam, if you can keep it."

"A Republic if you can keep it." (Oct. 15, 2008) Former judge Robert Bork delivered the first lecture in Heritage’s Joseph Story Distinguished Lecture. It was taken from a quote byBenjamin Franklin when asked what the Founding Fathers were giving to the American people when drafting the Constitution. He correctly asserted that the republic is contingent, not guaranteed. Bork contended the courts are a great threat to keeping the republic. Instead of interpreting law on the basis of the principles set forth in the Constitution, judges interject their own morality and political beliefs in their arguments.

"We the people" are a product of the Republic of limited government established by Founders who possessed Biblical moral virtue.

"We the sheeple" are a product (subjects) of big (more) government control intrusion (cradle-to-grave-nanny-state) being instituted and mandated by liberal secular judges. Mostly Democrats and deceived by a liberal biased mainstream media and by secular humanists government-run schools and "higher" education. (Suggest if you lack Biblical moral virtue and prefer liberty mandated by government and not "liberty from God," you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.).

The socialist biased humanistic politically correct mainstream media: Willing defenders of the Democrat Party, are successful in keeping all the FACTS and opinions from the sheeple.
Democrats simply rely on their ally, the MSM to keep the sheeple, well, sheeple.

This election is really a referendum on the stupidity of the American voter By Gabriel Garnica - After watching the mainstream media sink to new lows of blatant favoritism, absurd bias and an almost unimaginable level of spin, I have come to the conclusion that this election will really be a measure on just how stupid the average American voter truly is.

"[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few." - John Adams (An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 29 August 1763) Reference: Original Intent, Barton (338); original The Papers of John Adams, Taylor, ed., vol. 1 (83)

Overview of America 1 of 4 - For those who haven't been taught in America's present government-run schools what the difference is between a Republic and a Democracy, Electoral College vs. popular vote, Bill of Rights which limits Government vs. creating a socialistic cradle-to-grave-nanny-state, view these four short videos, and discover how our government, primarily Democrats, have duped "we the sheeple" into dependency on government.

There Are Two Irreconcilable Americas By Dennis Prager - It is time to confront the unhappy fact about our country: There are now two Americas. Not a rich one and a poor one; economic status plays little role in this division. There is a red one and a blue one. That is not the case. For the most part, right and left differ in their visions of America and that is why they differ on policies. Right and the left do not want the same America. The left wants America to look as much like Western European countries as possible. The left wants Europe's quasi-pacifism, cradle-to-grave socialism, egalitarianism and secularism in America. The right wants none of those values to dominate America. The left wants America not only to have a secular government, but to have a secular society. The left feels if people want to be religious, they should do so at home and in their houses of prayer, but never try to inject their religious values into society. The right wants America to continue to be what it has always been - a Judeo-Christian society with a largely secular government (that is not indifferent to religion). These opposing visions explain, for example, their opposite views concerning nondenominational prayer in school. The left prefers to identify as citizens of the world. The left fears nationalism in general (this has been true for the European left since World War I), and since the 1960s, the American left has come to fear American nationalism in particular. On the other side, the right identifies first as citizens of America.

The End of 'We the People' by Cal Thomas - Anyone desiring a preview of what the federal judiciary would look like under a Barack Obama administration need look no further than a narrow ruling by the Connecticut Supreme Court allowing same-sex "marriage." ...Gay rights advocates will take their agenda to federal courts as soon as sufficient numbers of liberal judges are there to give them what they want. Watch them vote in overwhelming numbers for Barack Obama. He is their future. This election is, among other things, about the future of the majority and whether we want this country to be shaped by the courts, or by "we the people."

"The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country... If children were forced to learn about the Constitution, about how government works, about how this nation came into being, about taxes and about how government forever threatens the cause of liberty perhaps we wouldn't see so many foolish ideas coming out of the mouths of silly old men." Lyn Nofziger

"When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned. There is no such thing as a no-man's land between honesty and dishonesty. Our strength lies in spiritual concepts. It lies in public sensitiveness to evil. Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil, or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior." Herbert Hoover

The problem and the cause: Because Preachers have preached "from their heart" they have neglected to preach what they were commissioned to preach, the Word of God, people no longer go to church, they go to their government.

"...because it is not the responsibility of the Christian or preacher to convict and convince. The Christian’s calling is to preach the Word of God, for the power of God follows the Word of God, not the preacher. Christ alone draws all men to Himself. (John 12:32)" Lessons of the Holy Spirit - A Guide for Entering the Kingdom of God and Discover Why it Pleased God to Hide His Kingdom from the Wise

2 Timothy 4:1 - I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

A sheeple test... Virtue or docile?

Please answer the following questions to see where you agree or disagree with Barack Obama: Brad O'Leary, author of The Audacity of Deceit, joined Glenn Beck to talk about some of the issues he came up with while investigating Barack Obama. He goes issue by issue to see how the most liberal Senator in the United States stacks up against the average American. One interesting survey question O'Leary thought to ask was 'how much in taxes should someone pay if they win a million dollars in the lottery?'

Related; from: Shoud you vote for Obama? Take a test and find out... - "I basically wrote this book for my six daughters and six of my grandchildren who can vote because a couple of them had told me they were going to vote for Barack Obama," O'Leary says. "When I asked them why, they said because he was good looking, his rhetoric was wonderful, [and] they liked listening to him." In response, he put together a test for voters to compare their views on the issues with those of Obama. "You score one point every time you agree with Barack Obama and you subtract a point every time you disagree with him," O'Leary explains. "And if you wind up in the plus area, then you should vote for him. If you wind up in the minus area, then you should perhaps rethink about who you're going to vote for."

Are you "mainstream?" I.E. Do you possess Biblical moral virtue or have you been duped into being "politically correct?"

The sheeple, instead of enjoying liberty from God (as prescribed in the Declaration of Independence), appear to prefer to have their liberties mandated by the government,
- which as the "Politically Correct" anti-Judeo-Christian agenda reveals, shows utter contempt for the Righteousness of God as designed and defined according to the Word of God.
- "We the sheeple" prefer a way that seems right unto man, even though that way leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25)
- Why is it many Americans continue to vote for socialists, masking as democrats?
- Do they really want government to a socialistic nanny-state providing all their needs from cradle to the grave?
- Do they really want government to be their god?
- Are they too busy, cynical, and apathetic and choose to let others decide the future of their children?
- Are they too complacent, comfortable and complacent in their American Way of Life, howbeit it came with a price?
- Are they too busy to be concerned for America's future generations?
- Are they just self-centered and selfish?
- Maybe it is not that complicated. Perhaps they are just so shallow the socialists and their co-defenders, the liberally biased media, are simply taking advantage of their apathy and lack of concern? Not until the MSM is fully revealed in this deceit, AND corrects itself by providing fair and balanced coverage, will “we the sheeple” finally hear both sides of every issue. Only then will the voters see exactly where the “Politically Correct” Democratic Party of liberals are leading America.

Barack Obama - A President for the sheeple...

Going Negative! That's what the media cry when you accurately present the track record of liberal candidates. By Thomas Sowell - Why then is “negative advertising” such a big deal these days? The dirty little secret is this: Liberal candidates have needed to escape their past and pretend that they are not liberals, because so many voters have had it with liberals....In 1988, Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts called himself a “technocrat,” a pragmatic solver of problems, despite a classic liberal track record of big spending, big taxes, and policies that were anti-business and pro-criminal. When the truth about what he actually did as governor was brought out during the presidential election campaign, the media were duly shocked — not by Dukakis’s record, but by the Republicans’ exposing his record. ...Barack Obama is much smoother. Instead of issuing explicit denials, he gives speeches that sound so moderate, so nuanced, and so lofty that even some conservative Republicans go for them. How could anyone believe that such a man is the very opposite of what he claims to be — unless they check out the record of what he has actually done? In words, Obama is a uniter instead of a divider. In deeds, he has spent years promoting polarization. That is what a “community organizer” does — creating a sense of grievance, envy, and resentment — in order to mobilize political action to get more of the taxpayers’ money or to force banks to lend to people they don’t consider good risks, as the community organizing group ACORN did.

Character & Corruption Personal judgments and alliances

“In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate—look to his character.” Noah Webster

Consider the lives of both Presidential candidates. Consider McCain's military service and sacrifice and the associations Obama "served," as well as Obama's list of past and present associations and who is supporting Barack Obama and why? Franklin Raines, Tim Howard, Jim Johnson, ACORN? George Soros? The "mainstream" media? MoveOn.org, Liberal Hollywood elites? Oprah? Bill Maher? Tim gill? Kevin Jennings? Terrence Bean? Bill Ayers? Brady Campaign, Planned Parenthood? NOW? NEA? Rev. Wright? Democrats? Nancy Pelosi? Barney Frank? Chris Dodd? Chuck Schumer? Consider McCain's military career versus the 20 years Obama spent in Rev. Wright's church.

Perhaps most telling is their congressional voting records: McCain - Obama - Biden.

Barack Obama & Raila Odinga The Video that could cost Obama the election - You tube video (8m18s) of Barack Obama in Kenya supporting Raila Odinga, the election and violence afterwards. Odinga was the agent of change, that implemented Islamic law.

Obama Supporters Apparently Know Nothing About Obama Americans seem to know nothing about the candidates they are voting for - except the name. Howard Stern provides some amusing proof.

'Gay' pedophilia and Obama Linda Harvey asks if senator agrees with his GLBT supporters. I'd been wondering what Kevin Jennings was doing these days. Jennings is the founder and long-time head of the radical homosexual group GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. GLSEN's mission has been to plant "gay" clubs and training programs in as many schools as possible. GLSEN now claims 4,000 "gay-straight alliances" exist, although this number is doubtful. Certainly, there are way too many. The group's target has been to place these clubs in all U.S. schools, K through 12. If you think a kindergartener signing up for a "gay" club is ludicrous, you are not alone. But Jennings has moved on to better things. He's now the Obama campaign fundraising co-chair for the "LGBT" community – that's "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered." You can listen to Jennings lay out the rights-oriented rhetoric in two interviews with Joe Solmonese of the Human Rights Campaign, on the website "LGBT for Obama." ...Does Obama believe children are "born gay" and should be able to declare this identity in grade school and join a "gay" club? Kevin Jennings does. Does Obama believe consensual relationships between 15-year-olds and 29-nine-year-olds are OK? Jennings thinks so. (Some think Planned Parenthood does, too – another question for Obama.) Does Obama believe a "safe" school is one where no one can criticize homosexual behavior? Jennings does. Does Obama believe that, with the CDC reporting HIV rates rising around 12 percent per year for 13 to 24-year-old males who have sex with males (MSM), we still cannot tell our boys to abstain from homosexual behavior? Will he appoint clueless federal health officials? Kevin Jennings would approve. Does Obama believe kids can decide at age 9 or 10 that they were born in the wrong body, want to switch genders and have schools support this disorder? Jennings does. Does Obama believe the Christian moral standard that homosexuality is wrong needs to be suppressed and depicted as "hateful" in the public square, including schools? Jennings does. Does Obama believe that if same-sex "marriage" is legalized, this new "law" should be shoved down the throats of all children and their parents via social engineering in public schools? Jennings does. Does Obama believe that "social justice" and "school reform" require students to not just tolerate, but approve of homosexuality and gender change? That the "yuck" factor simply will not be allowed, because it reflects bigotry? Jennings does.

"What a man thinks about the most vulnerable among us says everything about him. It will determine all of his other decisions." - Gianna Jessen, abortion survivor

Judges and the Courts Constitutional Rulings or a Despotic Branch?

Judges - Judges who interpret the law vs. Judges who make the law - It is not clear that Obama will nominate secular humanistic anti-Christian activists judges? - While McCain will nominate judges who will adhere to strict Constitutional interpretation and refrain from legislating from the bench.

“[T]he ideology of that judge makes a big difference. That’s why I led the fight against Judge [Robert] Bork. Had he been on the court, I suspect there would be a lot of changes that I don’t like and the American people wouldn’t like, including everything from Roe v. Wade to issues relating to civil rights and civil liberties.” Joe Biden, admitting to a litmus test for judges
“Under an Obama administration, it is not far-fetched to see the day when liberal federal judges decide that religious organizations must lose their tax exemptions should they refuse to employ homosexuals or others they regard as engaging in deviant behavior. Court challenges against those who believe homosexual behavior is sinful seem to be occurring with greater frequency... The aim of the gay rights lobby is to destroy all remnants of biblical values and societal norms. Gay rights advocates will take their agenda to federal courts as soon as sufficient numbers of liberal judges are there to give them what they want. Watch them vote in overwhelming numbers for Barack Obama. He is their future. This election is, among other things, about the future of the majority and whether we want this country to be shaped by the courts, or by ‘we the people’.” Cal Thomas

The 'how-to' plan to criminalize Christianity 'Homosexuals know they must silence the church and that's what's behind this' WorldNetDaily - A growing movement that experts believe could end up in the criminalization of Christianity in the United States is being exposed in a new documentary being prepared for airing on October 26, officials at Coral Ridge Ministries have announced. "Hate Crime Laws" is a half-hour exposé that shows how Christians in America, Canada, Australia, and Sweden have been arrested and prosecuted for expressing opinions that are rooted in the Bible regarding homosexual conduct, Islam or other topics about which Scriptures express clear teachings. "On the surface, hate crime laws might sound like a good idea," said Jerry Newcombe, of Coral Ridge, who hosts the special. "After all, none of us advocates hatred or violence against another person. But if you look below the surface, suddenly you realize that these laws are really thought crime laws." The program will air on The Coral Ridge Hour time slot and local airing times are available online.

Socialism/Marxism/Communism Cradle-to-grave-nanny-state of entitlements

Communists for Obama: Stalinist tactics used to silence critics Wes Vernon - "Our time has come...I can see a role for the Communist Party USA in the next period." Those words from Libero Della Piana, an operative speaking at the headquarters of the Communist Party USA and eagerly anticipating an Obama presidency.

Richard Viguerie: Obama's 'Spread the Wealth' Blunder Reveals His Real Goal for America - Socialism - Barack Obama's recent blunder- his admission that his policy is to "spread the wealth" of people like plumbers - "encapsulates everything Senator Obama believes about economics," Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said. "On taxes, on spending, on regulation, on redistribution of wealth, the Obama economic policy can be summed up in two words: Marxism / Socialism. ...During an Obama campaign stop in Ohio, a plumber told the Senator: "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it? ... I've worked hard. I'm a plumber. I work 10-12 hours a day and I'm buying this company and I'm going to continue working that way. I'm getting taxed more and more while fulfilling the American dream." Obama told the plumber that the higher taxes he would pay would be good for society. "... My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Political Correctness Lacking Biblical moral virtue on Abortion, Education & more...
"Politically Correct" means using unrighteous deception and requires a lack of Biblical Moral Virtue. Being "Politically Correct" is not only foolish, but dangerous.

Lies by omission: Media and Obama withhold truth from voters by Felicia Benamon - It's time to cut through to the truth since some representatives of the media are shying away from it. And Barack Obama sure won't disclose the truth about his socialist ideas. These days, he's covering up his true intentions as he's sounding more and more like a liberal trying to espouse Republican values to fool the American public. He is for the working class, the "average Joe" in that he says he wants to cut taxes. Barack Obama has left quite a bit out of the picture, lying by omission. The media is complicit in backing Barack Obama. All of the networks (except maybe FOXNEWS) slant their news to favor Obama. They give John McCain his props, but are willingly shilling for Barack Obama. Here and there, the truth does come forth. The media calls them "attacks"; I call it revealing the truth. CNN's Glenn Beck ventured a look into Michelle Obama's comments during a North Carolina campaign stop. He sees the plan that Barack and Michelle Obama has for America and called it a "socialized agenda for America."

Media Refuses To Scrutinize Obama's Background And Socialist Agenda By Carol Devine-Molin - Unfortunately, the American people cannot readily obtain the information they require to make a fully informed decision on Barack Obama, since the Leftist mainstream media lies and obfuscates for Obama, while regularly denigrating John McCain and his wife Cindy. The New York Times hit piece on Cindy McCain dated October 17, 2008 was refuted by her lawyer who also said, "It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here." Instead of members of the mainstream media fulfilling their duty to conduct fair-minded investigative reporting, they are, in effect, a mammoth propaganda machine that's running interference for Barack Obama. Think about it: The news media refuses to conduct even a basic examination on Obama regarding: his relationships with militant and unsavory characters [Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Frank Marshall Davis, etc.]; the nature of the grants that he funneled to various organizations while he sat on the boards of the Woods Foundation and the Annenberg Foundation; his admitted drug use; his full medical records; his college years in New York; his massive fundraising and support for Kenyan Marxist thug Raila Odinga who is implicated in thousands of murders; his campaign coffers that are being flooded with illegal foreign monies; his membership during the nineties in the New Party that was established by the Democratic Socialists of America; his significant connections with ACORN [including an $800,000 contribution to the group] which is systematically perpetrating voter fraud throughout the US; or his efforts to pressure Iraqi officials to delay troop withdrawals until after President Bush left office, which could very well be a violation of the Logan Act.

The Obama Debate Every American Should See by Terence Jeffrey - "Sen. O'Malley," Obama said near the beginning of the discussion, "the testimony during the committee indicated that one of the key concerns was -- is that there was a method of abortion, an induced abortion, where the -- the fetus or child, as -- as some might describe it, is still temporarily alive outside the womb." …"And one of the concerns that came out in the testimony was the fact that they were not being properly cared for during that brief period of time that they were still living," Obama continued. Obama made three crucial concessions here: the legislation was about 1) a human being, who was 2) "alive" and 3) "outside the womb." He also used an odd redundancy: "temporarily alive." Is there another type of human? ..."No. 1," said Obama, "whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or other elements of the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a -- a child, a nine-month-old -- child that was delivered to term." ..."I mean, it -- it would essentially bar abortions," said Obama, "because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute." …For Obama, whether or not a temporarily-alive-outside-the-womb little girl is a "person" entitled to constitutional rights is not determined by her humanity, her age or even her place in space relative to her mother's uterus. It is determined by a whether a doctor has been trying to kill her.

Obama and the Attempt to Destroy the Second Amendment - During Obama’s tenure, the Joyce Foundation board planned and implemented a program targeting the Supreme Court. The work began five years into Obama’s directorship, when the Foundation had experience in turning its millions into anti-gun “grassroots” organizations, but none at converting cash into legal scholarship. The plan’s objective was bold: the judicial obliteration of the Second Amendment. Joyce’s directors found a vulnerable point. When judges cannot rely upon past decisions, they sometimes turn to law review articles.

Taxes & Economy - Tax cuts vs. Tax hikes - If you want government to replace God, if you want a government that will have citizens dependent from the cradle to the grave upon yet more government programs that fail then vote for socialist who are masking as Democrats. If you prefer a free market driven economy, personal independence, personal responsibility, personal commitment, personal accountability, self-discipline, self-motivation, over complete reliance on a government that is incapable of meeting every need, then don't vote for any Democrat or Green Party candidate.

“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” Thomas Jefferson

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." - President Abraham Lincoln, a founder of the Republican Party
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” - Barack Obama to a small business owner at a recent rally

Ten Myths About Budget Deficits and Debt - MYTH #1: The 1998–2001 budget surpluses resulted from courageous sacrifices by President Clinton and the Republican Congress. Fact:The end of the Cold War and the tax receipts from an economic and dot-com boom balanced the budget. MYTH #2: The post-2001 budget deficits were caused by President Bush's tax cuts. Fact: National security, domestic spending, and economic factors played a larger role MYTH #3: The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts cancelled out the $5.6 trillion projected 10-year budget surplus. Fact: Those budget surplus estimates were based on unrealistic estimates. (For the full report, details, and charts, see: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/bg2178.cfm)

While Obama spins his claim that 95% of citizens will not pay taxes; Barack Obama says he will give 95 percent of all American workers a tax cut but does not mention that his plan would send checks to tens of millions of tax filers who pay no personal income taxes - payments that critics say look "suspiciously like welfare."

Wake Up, America By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY -How many times have you been told by soaring, almost hypnotic oratory that "the direct causes of our financial crisis and subprime real estate loan mess were the greedy banks, big corporations and the failed economic policies of George Bush"? It's common to blame the one in power. This time, however, it's 100% wrong. ...the Bush administration repeatedly went to Congress in 2004, 2005 and 2006 to obtain stronger oversight and some limits on Freddie and Fannie's reckless subprime lending. And each time, it was voted down by Democrats in Congress, led by Frank, now chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Bottom line: This whole mess was another Big Government program created, designed and run by Democrats. It started with great intentions but resulted in typically awful unintended consequences that materially hurt the very people they were supposed to help. ...So who do you think history tells us may be the most experienced person we can trust to be commander-in-chief and deal with Iranian terrorists with nukes; Putin's resurgent Russia that backs Iran and wants to give nuclear capability to Venezuela, re-arm Cuba and Nicaragua; an al-Qaida that wants to strike America again; and, let's not forget, up-and-coming China?

Warnings from leaders of virtue "Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation."

“We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity.” Theodore Roosevelt

"Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them." James Madison

"Statesmen my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. ... The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a great Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty." John Adams

“Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation . . .it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.” James Garfield 20th President

"A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user." Theodore Roosevelt
