    Yes, this certainly captures the spirit of the era. Our mature Socratic dialogue is truly an engine of human progress.

    the 3 year olds say it better. They are all poopy-heads

    We’re being distracted… this is all a big distraction, got to keep an eye on what congress is doing, they a slipping something by us and we won’t find out until Friday night (dump night)

    meanwhile the person who could do the most to make it stop (obama) remains silent.

    everything happening is a damned distraction, that’s the only chance B-HO has of making it until 2012…

    Obama’s legacy? Let’s hope what happened gets blamed on radical progressivism meets Chicago thug Democrats instead of the Stereotypical Black Politician and his Enablers. At least the former can be kicked around in public. The latter would be an under the radar whisper campaign masquerading as common knowledge: if you want a government that doesn’t senselessly spend, spend, spend, usurp, usurp, usurp, don’ t ever do that – elect a black president – again.

    One can be sure that however it goes, all the critical historians will be lumped into the second category. We can also expect layer upon layer of myth makers building another Camelot fable. We’ll be stuck with them for the rest of our lives. With their own set of enforcers, yelling, ‘You racists, you never liked him’. Maybe that’s the real Obama legacy.

    “The efficiency of the truly national leader consists primarily in preventing the division of the attention of a people, and always in concentrating it on a single enemy.”

    “What luck for the rulers that men do not think.”

    “Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people?”

    “Society’s needs come before the individual’s needs.”

    “In relation to the political decontamination of our public life, the government will embark upon a systematic campaign to restore the nation’s moral and material health. The whole educational system, theater, film, literature, the press and broadcasting – all these will be used as a means to this end.”

    “Gold is not necessary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That’s the bastion of money.”

    “National Socialism is not a cult-movement—a movement for worship; it is exclusively a ‘volkic’ political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship… ”

    quotes all- adolph hitler.

    the leftest cabal in america today is as race obsessed as hitler. sometimes it’s all he spoke about- certainly those portions of his speeches he delivered in a near frenzy. race defined hitler’s drive to power- it was the common enemy he used to leverage power and fuel his startling capacity to move people. although a christian, he believed communism and christianity were defective products created by jews who could also as a plus be blamed for germany’s financial problems. god was compelling germany to take socialism and christianity back.

    hitler knew instinctively to not use arguments and reasoning with people- he was so contemptuous of them he felt they wouldn’t understand. keep you eyes on the prize, on the final goal was the content of most of his political speeches in pursuit of power. urkel et al are discovering we bite back , can use reasoned arguments and are seeing through their tripe. the wheels are coming off for them and they know it. and we do not want the marxist final solution utopia.

    hitler was a far better politician than urkel because it’s clear he believed in something. hitler believed in germany. urkel believes in nothing and is not smart enough to see that in a country largely composed of people who are white making white people the main target of rage unlike jews in hitler’s case will not work. nothing is a hard place to base arguments upon. jews had a thousands of years of violent oppression in europe. they were perceived of as economic exploiters. white people freed the african slaves , gave black men the right to vote before women, passed the civil rights and voting acts and have embraced black culture as american. perhaps some naively thought the race baiting would stop if only a black man were elected. now they are finding it has only intensified. it’s because so many are at last saying- no.

    the democrats cynically placed a black man in power because they knew his color would be an effective foil against particularly republicans and conservatives who are largely white- anyone who doesn’t agree with him will be too scared to say or do anything for fear of being called a racist. it worked for years- it worked enough to get him elected. no way hillary’s gender could have been used as effectively. urkel is being used and is quite happy to wear the crown to stoke his own vanity. i do not happen to think he can withstand the heat. keep applying it.

    THE CIVIL WAR WAS NOT ABOUT SLAVERY
    In fact General Robert E. Lee of Virginia made the economic sacrifice in good conscience to voluntarily free his slaves before the war even began. On the other hand victorious General Ulysses S. Grant of Ohio held slaves until after his conquest of the South. The state of Maryland, a northern which fought on Lincoln’s side, was a slave state.

    In war history is written by the victor. In the case of the American Civil War this is true. The Civil War like so many was about money and power. Slavery was of course the great social issue of the day but that could have been solved by an act of Congress purchasing the freedom all slaves and then outlawing slavery in one fell swoop. Slavery was a convenient and luxurious cover for the disgraceful atrocities of Lincoln. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington is evidence of the luxury to color history in one’s own favor. While our virtue as a nation is rightly celebrated there and a few of Lincoln’s choice words are rightly venerated, Lincoln savaged the people of our free republics over money and consolidation of centralized power.

    TAXED INTO BANKRUPTCY THE SOUTHERN STATES SECEDED
    By 1863 a period of 70 year would expire since the USA’s first bankruptcy in 1793. Leading up to an eminent reorganization of federal finances the US Congress had begun to levy oppressive and destructive taxes and tariffs on the wealthy agricultural sector of the economy based mostly in the South. Southerners we forced into bankruptcy as Washington politicians wanted to mortgage Southern lands. They we over taxed and with deep regret and patriotism seceded mostly before Lincoln even come into office.

    DE FACTO RULE
    Lincoln changed the structure of the government into what we see today, a for profit corporation. In 1860 the US Congress adjourned sine die, without a day – to reconvene. To this day a lawful US Congress has never reconvened. Lincoln established a de facto Congress in 1861. De facto law is corporate law not the natural and common law of our Constitution FOR the United States, 1787, with 13 Amendments lawfully ratified before Lincoln took power. Following Lincoln’s reign of terror across the South the 13th Amendment was modified but not ratified and, the 14th Amendment was ratified under military duress. The 14th Amendment made us all equal under the corporation. In 1871 the Federal Corporation of the United States of America was founded. Its constitution is called the Constitution OF the United States. With a slight of hand we were transformed. That is Lincoln’s most enduring legacy.

    To his credit, Lincoln fought valiantly against the bankers who sought to extinguish our currency and replace it with one on which they could tax a form of rent on all who use it. In 1913 that’s finally what we got. An elite European and American bankers called the Federal Reserve seized control of our currency. They are a for profit corporation which charges a fee for the use of currency it prints. Their government sanctioned collection agency is a for profit foreign corporation called the Internal Revenue Service. They thrive on taxing our income while offering unlimited lines of credit to those in holding power in the Federal Corporation of the USA.

    In fact when our American parents registered our birth certificates down at good old County Court House, USA, they unknowingly placed us in bondage, literally, to Federal Corporation. Full disclosure is not required in corporate law, only what is customary. That began 70 years late in 1933 during another financial restructuring of the US government at the expense of the American people. But that’s another story.

    IT’S NOT ABOUT RACE.
    It’s about an elite international bankers and their minions who have plundered and placed into literal bondage a whole continent of sovereign Americans.

    Obama is their corporate CEO, not president of the USA under the Constitution FOR the United States, 1787. Since our ruling bankers are foreign they finally put forward a foreign president. It’s all perfectly legal. It’s not lawful and, there is a huge difference between what’s legal and what’s lawful. Our lawful form of government has never been extinguished, just side stepped and overlaid by de facto legalities. Obama has helped us to know we’re not in Kansas anymore. He set straw man on fire. In return we have thrown a bucket of water on him and, he and his bankers are melting.

      john wilkes booth, is that you? i knew rumors of your death were greatly exaggerated.

      “The south are not nor have been fighting for the continuance of slavery… I thought then as now that the Abolitionists were the only traitors in the land, and that the entire party deserved the same fate as poor old [John] Brown, not because they wish to abolish slavery, but on account of the means they have endeavored to use to effect that abolition. If Brown were living, I doubt he himself set slavery against the Union. Most, or many in the North do, and openly curse the Union, if the south are to return and attain a single right guaranteed to them by every tie which we once revered and held scared. The south can make no choice. It is either extermination or slavery for themselves or worse than death to draw from. I know my choice.” john wilkes booth, ” The Clark Letter”.

      sic temper tyrannis? strange as it seems some actually believe lincoln was trying to save the Union. he died for it. must he repeatedly be dragged through the mud as a dictator to prove post modern new world order conspiracy theories ? after celebrating his murder with glee and much patriotic chest thumping about the constitution and liberty, the loyal southerners very quickly learned that lincoln would have been better for them alive as president of the reconstruction than as a dead useless, useless “tyrant”.

      lincoln was dead for the ratification of the post war reconstruction amendments. he was dead before the actual end of what you seem to view as the war of northern aggression. the only thing being savaged here is history . the first shots were fired by the Secessionists. it was lincoln who advanced the idea of shrinking slavery by compensated emancipation because he did not feel the federal government had the constitutional powers to free slaves/property.

      “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free.”- a. lincoln

      he resorted under the powers given to him in a nation at war to issue the emancipation proclamation. the congress passed it as the 13th amendment.

      do these elite international bankers happen to be the jooooooos? for the record that is exactly the reasoning hitler used against bankers/jews to set up an actual full fledged tyranny.

        Your defense of Lincoln in relation to his stance on slavery is commendable and justifiable. I agree with it.

        LINCOLN’S LEGACY REVISITED
        In 1863 his federal government faced bankruptcy and foreclosure by foreign creditors. Lincoln needed to refinance the federal debt and chose southern lands to mortgage and collateralize. With the menace of federal government designs on their properties they, as free republics, seceded mostly during the Buchanan administration. A war of conquest ensued.

        What is missing in the assessment of Lincoln’s legacy is an accounting for the fact that according to the SCOTUS we now have two federal governments in our land, our common law one and our de facto law one. One is our original common law government called the United States of America. Its founding body of law is called the Constitution FOR the United States of America with 13 Amendments to follow. It has been set aside but never extinguished. The other is the de facto Federal Corporation of the United States of America. Its founding body of law is called the Constitution OF the United States of America. It has 27 Amendments to its constitution where the first 12 are identical to the earlier original but the 13th which was lawfully ratified was discarded and rewritten in the corporate version. The corporation is a for-profit entity which simulates a lawful government but rules by corporate law (legal but not necessarily lawful) requiring contractual agreements between the rulers and the ruled. Our common law 13th Amendment is interesting because it expressly prohibits those with a foreign title from holding any federal office. Esquire, the title held by many attorneys, is a foreign title with allegiance to the British monarchy. In the Federal Corporation’s later version this prohibition is absent.

        U.S Code, Title 28, 3002. Definitions,
        (15) “United States” means—
        a Federal corporation

        Supreme Court Justice Marshall Harlan:
        (Downes v. Bidwell, 182, U.S. 244 1901) by giving the following dissenting opinion: “Two national governments exist; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and Independently of that Instrument.”

        The Act of 1871 founded the Federal Corporation of the United States of America.

        We, the ruled, are subjects of the corporation and their profiteering at our personal expense. Although we may be born in this land with unalienable rights, by their stealth and our ignorance they transform us into their corporate property. In 1933, 70 years after the Lincoln administration’s financial restructuring, FDR faced bankruptcy. He collateralized every person in the USA and mortgaged them to foreign creditors. Since 1933 every natural person, whose birth is officially certified and recorded with the government, becomes by legal acquiescence a corporate entity and property of the state. Same thing with a marriage license issued by the government; the product of the marriage is property of the state. Also in 1933 FDR made every American an enemy of the state and seized all gold currency. Since we are all enemies of the state, property of the state and don’t own anything, we don’t really need real money so, instead of gold they (the Federal Reserve, our primary creditors) issued fiat currency, a promise of worth. 20 years earlier in 1913 in an infamous act of stealth the Federal Corporation forced us to rent our currency from the newly founded Federal Reserve, an American for-profit conglomerate owned by foreign and American bankers. Their rent collector is called the Internal Revenue Service, a foreign for-profit corporation. Over the decades they’ve bleed away our wealth in continuous acts of unjust enrichment. It now takes 20 Federal Reserve Notes to equal just one silver dollar. That’s a 95% loss.

        “The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war.”
        – Benjamin Franklin

        We are slaves in this land under the allusion of being a free people. We don’t have standing in the courts to challenge our corporate rulers. We acquiesced to foreign rule in 1913. Now we have a foreign CEO. Acquiescence and deception are perfectly legal in de facto law. By acquiescence we submit to all sort of infringements against the rights of a free people because by default we and our corporate straw man identities are one in commerce under corporate rule. We are literally placed into bondage as chattel collateral for government debt shortly after our births. All recorded birth certificates are registered with the Dept. of Commerce as corporate entities and placed into bondage.

        LINCOLN’S LEGACY – ANOTHER FORM OF SLAVERY
        At the same time Lincoln freed black slaves he, by establishing de facto rule in these lands, made us all slaves. In stages through the decades matters have become worse. Woodrow Wilson sold us all down the river to foreign bankers 2 days before Christmas in 1913. Then in 1933 FDR made us all communist slaves. Now we have a Homeland Security regime. Bush transformed the border between earth and sky (the airport is not an international border) into a place where TSA agents (unlawful border agents) subject us to unlawful search and seizure. Again we acquiesce. De facto corporate rule established in 1861 is the other side of Lincoln’s legacy.

        RESTORATION
        Only about 1% of all Americans have learned how to lawfully separate their fictional corporate straw man identity from their natural and real human identity. This lawful method removes their natural and real selves from bondage to the corporation and frees them from corporate rule. It places them in a condition (when not in commercial activity) where they are ruled only by common law, where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness rule. In other words their real selves are no longer US citizen/slaves* but are instead sovereign Americans and citizens of their respective common law states (their are 50 of them) where each sovereign holds title to the bond (indenture) on his/her own fictional straw man indentity. They can still engage in commerce in the day to day commercial world but retain their status as a sovereign instead of a corporate serf. That’s what freedom looks like in today’s corporate world. We have to free ourselves one person at a time. Tim Turner has developed an interesting way to do this. For an easier take on what I’ve written I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
        this YouTube video:

        JMP: Tim Turner 2009

        *A US citizen is naturally only a citizen of the Porto Rico, Guam or the District of Columbia by birth. By stealth the rest of us reaffirm our status as a US citizen when asked, “Are you a US citizen?” and we then say, “Yes.” Again it’s acquiesce to their deception to place us under corporate rule.

        (Author’s note: Please keep your derogatory comments about the Jewish religion to yourself. Jewish law is the foundation of our common law Constitution and free republic. Judaism was also the lifetime religion of the central figure in the Christian religion.)

    When Obama says he wants to talk about race, for me, two things come to mind:

    1. Obama is going to do all of the talking.
    2. The conversation will be limited to wrongs commited by whites.

    Regardless of all of the controversy, the Shirley Sherrod/NAACP incident clearly shows that anyone of any race can harbor feelings of racial bigotry. But we knew that already. The video just brought it out into the open.

    We’ve been talking about race for fifty years. What good has it done? The left acts as if we must always be focused on racism, or else—-like some insidious, amorphous evil waiting for us to let our guard down—-it will suddenly take form and engulf the nation and drag it down into Amos and Andy hell.

    I just don’t have such a negative view of America or Americans.

    Isn’t it ironic (actually not) that the Tea Party appears to be the great healer in this area? It really shouldn’t come as a surprise. The focus should be on individual rights, not the rights of any group, but the rights of the individual.

    The individual is the smallest minority.
