Lest we forget. Thanks to the Anchoress and the Rainmaker this outside of time debate speaks not only for itself but it pulls back the veil on Obama. BTW \”apocalypse\” is the word associated with pulling back the veil.

Talk Matters
In Is Talk Cheap? Thomas Sowell warns that talk matters, words matter, and the ability to express oneself in speech matters tremendously. He calls to mind the gripping power of Winston Churchill and the enormity of the impact his powers of speech and expression had on history. With will and words, Churchill carried the Britons to heights of hope and endurance against Hitler and his juggernaut.
Sowell’s thoughts:
“Talk matters for good reasons as well as bad…..Unfortunately, people on the make seem to have a keener appreciation of the power of words, as the magic road to other power, than do people defending values that seem to them too obvious to require words.
“The expression, “It goes without saying. . .” is a fatal trap. Few things go without saying. Some of the most valuable things in life may go away without saying– whether loved ones in one’s personal life or the freedom or survival of a nation.”
Sowell points to the shell game Obama and his new administration play with words. Cloaked in vocabulary, this administration hides the blatant reality of legislation that would take away workers’ right to a secret ballot by calling it, “Employers’ Freedom of Choice Act.” “Choice” what a lovely word. Where have we seen it go wrong before?
Obama’s budget of deficits is labelled “A New Era of Responsibility.” Sowell says of Obama, “You want responsibility? He’ll give you the word “responsibility.” Why not? It costs nothing.
Those of you who want your country back, be on the lookout for a Presidential candidate who can handle the language without speaking in the “patrician style of country club Republicans.” Look, too, for someone with a good non-apologetic offensive.” According to Sowell, “General Douglas MacArthur gave a one-word definition of defensive warfare: defeat!”
Last and most important! Look out America! I believe that the gift of gab that got Golden Mouth elected won’t stop with words. Deception breeds deception, whether in word or deed.
Navigating Slippery Slope or Raping America
Charles Krauthammer has Obama navigating a slippery slope into socialism. Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress, says Krauthammer, “…constitutes the boldest social democratic manifesto ever issued by a U.S. President”.
To my mind, it is a social program that should be called the Rape of America. Obama’s taking Miss Liberty in a direction she doesn’t want to go. When Ronald Reagan came to office wanting to take America on a different trajectory, Krauthammer says Reagan’s aim was to “shrink government, lower taxes, rebuild American defense.” How long will it be before we will see that again in this nation?
Obama’s will is to force universal health care, universal education and green energy via government funds, government regulation, by government Democrat’s and Presidential manifesto down our collective throat. How? Krauthammer explains, “We know what opportunity he wants to seize. Just as the Depression created the political and psychological conditions for Franklin Roosevelt’s transformation of America from laissez-faireism to the beginnings of the welfare state, the current crisis gives Obama the political space to move the still (relatively) modest American welfare state toward European-style social democracy.”
Is there the will or the way among Conservatives, Independents, Libertarians and still breathing Republicans to stop the plunder and pillage. Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee and thinking Americans have their work cut out for them. They need to find traction, indeed, rescue and deliverance, from Obama’s slide into Socialism.
Krauthammer’s Hammer
Excerpts from the pen and wisdom of Charles Krauthammer writting for the Washington Post with my emphasis:
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe.”
— President Obama, Feb. 4.………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
And yet more damaging to Obama’s image than all the hypocrisies in the appointment process is his signature bill: the stimulus package. He inexplicably delegated the writing to Nancy Pelosi and the barons of the House. The product, which inevitably carries Obama’s name, was not just bad, not just flawed, but a legislative abomination.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
It’s the essential fraud of rushing through a bill in which the normal rules (committee hearings, finding revenue to pay for the programs) are suspended on the grounds that a national emergency requires an immediate job-creating stimulus — and then throwing into it hundreds of billions that have nothing to do with stimulus, that Congress’s own budget office says won’t be spent until 2011 and beyond, and that are little more than the back-scratching, special-interest, lobby-driven parochialism that Obama came to Washington to abolish. He said.
Foundational Basics
Today is about more than hearts and flowers. Everybody knows it’s crunch time for the U.S.A. When things get really bad, the American people have a way of getting back to basics. The basics start with the foundational underpinnings of our Nation. Ronald Reagan got it right! Others, it seems, don’t like the founding fundamentals They hope for changes that will create an America no one will recognize as America. Texas Rainmaker and the Anchoress spell it out.
Reagan and Obama in their own words.
