Gunny G: “WHEN WILL AMERICA HAVE HAD ENOUGH?” ~ By Lynn Stuter
WHEN WILL AMERICA HAVE HAD ENOUGH?
By Lynn Stuter

NewsWithViews.com
Fifteen years ago when I tried to tell people where the transformation of America was heading, I either got this “deer in the headlights” look of “I don’t care don’t bother me I don’t want to know” or people laughed and said, “that’ll never happen because the American people won’t let it!”
On November 4, 2008, sixty-six million Americans let it happen; they voted for a candidate they knew absolutely nothing about; they voted their feelings for a man who has great voice inflection and tone but who, in reality, said absolutely nothing of substance, and certainly nothing that would tell anyone who he was and is.
Today, the United States of America lays in shambles. In 77 days since usurping the Oval Office, the Also Known As AKA Obama Administration has done more damage to this nation than any president before him.In that short time-frame, AKAhas signed into law legislation that will, in one year, put this nation $1.8 trillion further into the hole, bearing in mind that the total deficit spending of the Bush Administration, in eight years, was $400 billion!waits to sign into law the GIVE Act HR 1388 which begins the process of establishing the “national security force”; the brown-shirt goon-squads needed to assert control over the American people!has, through bailouts the illegal and unconstitutional taking stealing of money from the American people moved tonationalize banks!nationalize private enterprise!moved to bring the 2010 census under his power and control!begun the move to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to global governance via the Financial Stability Board FSB, a body of central bankers mostly European from each of the G20 states and the European Union; the purpose of which is a global economic union with uniform regulations and bylaws for all participating nations “with [the] authority to intervene in U.S. corporations by dictating executive compensation and approving or disapproving business management decisions.”
Jerry Brown Mocks Vet’s Concern About Code Pink Fundraiser
Democrat California gubernatorial nominee Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown mocked as “silly” the concerns raised by a retired Marine Corps colonel about Brown attending a fundraiser at the home of terrorist supporter and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday evening at a campaign rally at the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building, Brown labeled the call by Col. Bucky Peterson to return the money from the fundraiser “dishonest” and “the sillies[t] thing I’ve ever heard.” Peterson’s statement was released by Brown’s opponent, Republican nominee Meg Whitman.
Sag Harbor Baggy Pants Fad Reaches All Time Low, As Does Our Nation

The sign on the door of John English’s store reads “No shoes, No shirt, No service. And pull up your pants!”
Waiting in the checkout line, I ask the proprietor if he is still having trouble with shirtless and shoeless customers with sagging trousers.
“It’s worse,” John moans, shaking his head despondently. “I don’t know what the world’s coming to.”John has run this little corner grocery for 35 years. He’s seen nonconformist fashion trends come and go: ultra-miniskirts, hoodies, backward baseball caps.
Who can forget that brief period a few years ago when girls wore those incredibly low-cut jeans with the highly visible thongs?”I didn’t think it could get worse than the saggy pants,” John says. “Boy was I naive.”I remember the sagging pants. They were all the rage in the 1990s. At first the trousers sagged only somewhat, barely enough to identify the color and make of the boxers.
As the years advanced, however, trousers continued their downward progression.In those days, there was much debate about the significance of “jailin’,” as the trend was called. Berkeley grad school students even wrote dissertations on the phenomenon. One popular theory had the fad originating with prisoners’ ill-fitting clothing. Ex-cons brought this fashion statement to the ghetto where it was popularized. Wearing droopy drawers became a symbol of solidarity with convicts past and present.
Today we can look back on the era of the sagging trousers as a relatively enlightened period. Some of the younger male mostly customers coming into John English’s store now wear long tight-fitting gym shorts that they position well below their buttocks.Excerpt Read more at spectator.org …
Trust on Issues – Voters Now Trust Republicans More On All 10 Key Issues Rassmussen
Rassmussen Reports ^ | 8/26/10 | Scott RassmussenPosted on Thursday, August 26, 2010 3:08:57 PM by The G ManThe GOP has consistently been trusted on most issues for months now, but in July they held the lead on only nine of the key issues.
Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June.
Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.But for the first time in months, Republicans now hold a slight edge on the issues of government ethics and corruption, 40% to 38%. Voters have been mostly undecided for the past several months on which party to trust more on this issue, but Democrats have held small leads since February.
Still, more than one-in-five voters 22% are still not sure which party to trust more on ethics issues.Excerpt Read more at rasmussenreports.com …

Blogger Faces Racism Charges for Warning Glenn Beck Rally Visitors to Stay out of Some DC Neighborhoods
Openly gay, conservative blogger Bruce Majors provided a visitors’ guide to Washington DC for people coming to town for Glenn Beck’s rally. He advised travelers of which neighborhoods to avoid and now he faces charges of racism.It should be noted that Jesse Jackson once said: “I hate to admit it, but I have reached a stage in my life that if I am walking down a dark street late at night and I see that the person behind me is white, I subconsciously feel relieved”.
Philly Mayor Defends Tax on Bloggers
Thursday, August 26, 2010
PHILADELPHIA –
Philadelphia has become a target online now that people are learning that bloggers have to pay a fee just like businesses do.Should the city really be going after the little guys for making money online?
The mayor says yes.The city’s recent tax amnesty program brought to light Philadelphia bloggers and others who had reported income to the IRS – meaning they were telling Uncle Sam they had made money – but had never purchased the business privilege license required to do business in the city.
That license runs $50 a year or $300 for life.ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
Obama’s Arabic Teleprompter – Imam Rauf!
American Thinker ^ |
Aug 26, 2010 |

by Rashputin
In a stunning revelation, it appears that the controversial Imam Rauf has been quite instrumental in the crafting of the speech that Obama gave in Cairo. This report comes from Walid Shoebat who speaks fluent Arabic.
It is a shocking audio recording of Rauf’s own voice boasting in Arabic that Obama’s historic speech in Cairo was provided by the Imam’s work with the Cordova Initiative.Once a terrorist, Walid Shoebat is now an American citizen and lives in the USA under this assumed name.
He has a unique insight into the world of terror from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist. He has lectured at universities throughout the United States and is also featured in the film “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West.”Eileen can be reached at middlemarch18@gmail.com
Ground Zero Mosque Imam the Jeremiah Wright of Islam
Question for Hollywood Liberals; Isn’t the new guy in the Oval office a cutout of the one you made a cottage industry out of hating?Walid Shoebat, a former Islamic terrorist, whose mother tongue is Arabic, is reported to be doing some extensive research in the Arabic speaking media on what Imam Rauf has been saying and writing in Arabic.
It matters so much more what radical Imam Rauf is saying in the Middle East. Americans, hearing how he said the U.S. has more blood on its hands than al Qaeda, will take their anger to the midterm election polls and do the same in 2012. How many more extremists hearing Imam Rauf in the Middle East strap themselves to suicide bombs? How many acts of terrorism will Imam’s words launch against the innocent?Meanwhile, we’re two weeks from the 9th commemoration of 9/11 when Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will, by their hypocritical official physical presence, mock the memory of the almost 3,000 souls who died on Sept. 11, 2001.
A Conservative Little Big Tent
The days of voting for a Republican, or a Democrat, simply because of their party affiliation, are gone. Now that “we the people” are awake with more people awakening every day, we will need to keep a close eye on our elected representatives, and watch what they do, while largely ignoring what they say.
For the time being, in too many cases, the choice of candidates will be between the lesser of two evils. That will change over time though, if we insist on it. There is, of course, also always the option of saying “to h—l with both candidates”.For now, the least distasteful candidates will tend to be Republicans. If they’re smart, the GOP will take advantage of the situation, and reevaluate, reinvigorate, and redefine themselves.
Who am I? Why am I?
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” [Gen. 1:27 KJV]“I can guarantee to a 99 percent certainty that I will not give birth to any monsters.” [Dr. Severino Antinori, on his project to create the first human clone.]
I was an experiment—the first of my kind. Am I supposed to be happy about this? To revel in the glory of being the first? Others, who gave no apparent thought to me, believed that it was important for me to be created. Who and what gave them this right, I will never know. Their scientific curiosity, their self-righteousness, their vanity and their unbridled arrogance were my genesis.Their foolish notion that the creation of Man by Man was a good or noble thing, an inevitability; that persons such as I should be created simply because it was possible—this is what brought me here. What did they really know? No one thought of me—not in the least.
I did not ask to be born—not in this way. Neither did I choose to look this way. “Imperfections,” they called it. After all, I was the first. Am I supposed to be grateful that I was not more hideously deformed?
Joe Biden’s Continuing Denigration of the Vice Presidency
Well, perhaps Sarah Palin is not Mensa material, but she is one hell of a lot brighter than Joseph Biden, the gaffe-prone court jester currently making a mockery of the “Exceptional American” theory which holds that we have the best and the brightest in charge of things in America.
Biden’s latest Oops! moment came this morning when the addled VP reportedly said the following: “Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was ‘no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.’”
Senate To Sneak Through Internet Kill Switch Bill
The Senate is attempting to sneak through the infamous Internet kill switch cybersecurity bill by attaching it to another piece of legislation that is almost guaranteed to pass – the defense authorization bill – in an underhanded ploy to avoid the difficult task of passing cybersecurity on its own.
“It’s hard to get a measure like cybersecurity legislation passed on its own,” Democratic Senator Thomas Carper, who is co-chair of a Senate subcommittee with cybersecurity oversight, told Government Information Security.That’s why lawmakers pushing cybersecurity have resolved to introduce the legislation as a “rider” to a Senate defense bill that is likely to be easily passed before the midterm elections.Senators are still working to merge two different versions of the cybersecurity bill, one sponsored by Senator Joe Lieberman and another sponsored by Democrat Jay Rockefeller, into a single omnibus package, in preparation for a final vote when the Senate returns to session in mid-September.
“We’re very close to where we need to be in developing a joint proposal,” said Carper.
The Facebook Hit List Murders
Read other blogs and stories at thedailybeast.comIn southwestern Colombia, teenagers are turning up dead after their names appear on a list on Facebook.
Constantino Diaz-Duran on the terrifying Internet hit men holding a town hostage.Three teenagers dead and dozens more exiled, sent far from home by terrified parents.
Panic has taken over southwestern Colombia, after emerging guerrillas took to social-networking websites to impose their will on the populace. Criminal gangs, which local journalists claim are affiliated with drug cartels, are holding entire towns hostage. And they are doing it by issuing death threats through Facebook.Over the past several days, almost 90 teenagers in the town of Puerto Asis have been named on hit lists distributed online by criminal gangs seeking to sow fear and anguish in the community.
The lists have been sent to those whose names are in them, as well as to their friends and relatives. They contain the names of children as young as 16 who, according to the perpetrators, will be murdered if they don’t leave town within three days. The first list was distributed through Facebook and MSN Messenger on August 15. At least two more lists have been issued since, and already, 16-year-old Diego Ferney Jaramillo, 19-year-old Norbey Alexander Vargas, and 17-year-old Eibart Alejandro Ruiz Munoz have been shot dead. Juan Pablo Zambrano Anacona, 16, was wounded during the attack on Vargas.

Glenn Beck rally will be a measure of the tea party’s strength
When Fox News and talk radio host Glenn Beck comes to Washington this weekend to headline a rally intended to “restore honor” to America, he will test the strength – and potentially expose the weaknesses – of a conservative grass-roots movement that remains an unpredictable force in the country’s politics.
Beck, who is both admired and assailed for his faith-based patriotism and his brash criticism of President Obama, plans in part to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. as an American hero. He will speak on the anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech, from the spot where King delivered it.Some “tea party” activists say the event, at which former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is also scheduled to speak, will have a greater impact than last September’s “9/12″ march along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Though the attendance figures for that anti-tax rally are disputed, it was the first national gathering to demonstrate the size and influence of the tea party movement.But with just a few days before the Beck rally, basic questions linger, including how big it will be and whether the event, which Beck says is nonpolitical, will help or hurt Republicans in November.
Also unanswered is whether Beck can pull off the connection to King without creating offense – or confrontation with another event the same day led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.Beck said in a recent broadcast that he did not intentionally choose the “I Have a Dream” anniversary for his rally – but that he believes the coincidence is “divine providence.”"Whites don’t own Abraham Lincoln,” he said.
“Blacks don’t own Martin Luther King. Those are American icons, American ideas, and we should just talk about character, and that’s really what this event is about. It’s about honoring character.”Excerpt Read more at washingtonpost.com …

Chapter 1 of The Underground History of American Public Education
Whoever controls the image and information of the past determines what and how future generations will think; whoever controls the information and images of the present determines how those same people will view the past.
~ George Orwell, 1984 (1949)Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in morality – and in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated.
~ Count Leo Tolstoy, “Education and Children” (1862)
A Nation From the Bottom Up
ESTABLISHING SHOT
Fifty children of different ages are teaching each other while the schoolmaster hears lessons at his desk from older students. An air of quiet activity fills the room. A wood stove crackles in the corner. What drove the nineteenth-century school world celebrated in Edward Eggleston’s classic, The Hoosier Schoolmaster, was a society rich with concepts like duty, hard work, responsibility, and self-reliance; a society overwhelmingly local in orientation although never so provincial it couldn’t be fascinated by the foreign and exotic. But when tent Chautauqua with its fanfare about modern marvels left town, conversation readily returned to the text of local society.
Eggleston’s America was a special place in modern history, one where the society was more central than the national political state. Words can’t adequately convey the stupendous radicalism hidden in our quiet villages, a belief that ordinary people have a right to govern themselves. A confidence that they can.
Most revolutionary of all was the conviction that personal rights can only be honored when the political state is kept weak. In the classical dichotomy between liberty and subordination written into our imagination by Locke and Hobbes in the seventeenth century, America struggled down the libertarian road of Locke for awhile while her three godfather nations, England, Germany, and France, followed Hobbes and established leviathan states through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Toward the end, America began to follow the Old World’s lead…

Gunny G: MARINES ARE SOLDIERS! — SOLDIERS OF THE SEA
DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME A SOLDIER!!!
Marines’ sites and bulletin boards on the Internet are nothing short of amazing regarding what many do not know about Marine Corps history and traditions.
There are numerous cases where Marines–some of them even senior enlisted Marines and officers–post and respond to downright erroneous information demonstrating a definite lack of knowledge on various topics of Marine Corps interest. I have addressed several of these individual topics elsewhere on Gunny G’s.
Perhaps, some independent study would be in order–better start at the top.One random example, among many I have noticed, are several items lately where Marines are lambasting someone or other on the subject of one’s having dared to refer to a Marine, or Marines, using the term “soldier.”
With righteous indignation they scream that they are Marines, not soldiers, and they decry those who call them such! And rightfully so, in some cases, where the media or an individual, whatever, is using that term within an inappropriate context.Of course, they both the writer and the Marine are acting out of their own lack of knowlege. The user of the term “soldier” is not aware that he should generally refer to all Marines as “Marines”; and the Marine is very likely ignorant of the fact that the word “soldier” is also correct, in some cases.Members of our sister-service, for example, the U.S. Army, are soldiers, that is their name, but Marines are not soldiers in that sense at all.
I am referring to Marines as soldiers in a much broader, higher sense, as a class of soldier that goes to the root of what a Marine is and does.
Black Conservative Supports Glenn Beck Rally
Black Conservative Supports Glenn Beck Rally
Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally is linking the restoration of our great nation’s Godly principles, freedom, liberty and culture to the black civil rights leader. Beck’s rally is a wonderful tribute to the man I remember, when I was a little boy, as being larger than life.
I was there, August 28,1963, in Washington DC with my dad; yellow school buses lined up and black people as far as I could see. I do not remember feeling hate in the air. Dr King spoke of all Americans yielding to God, righteousness and brotherhood………
What About the Right to Have a Father? ~ by Coach Dave Daubenmire
What About the Right to Have a Father?
I am so glad I had a father. He passed away five years ago and not a day goes by that something doesn’t make me think of him. I didn’t choose him and he didn’t choose me. He wasn’t Robert Young of Father Knows Best, nor was he Sheriff Andy Taylor (any more than I was Opie), but the older I get the more I understand the impact that he had on my life. A father leaves a footprint, for sure……

“Will Americans stop the Islamification of America?” ~ by Frosty Wooldridge
JFK Assassination Cover-Up Blown Sky High
It is a story the corporate media, with the notable exception of one lone Fox News affiliate, refuses to report.
A former FBI agent, Don Adams, has compelling evidence Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate president John F. Kennedy.
Adams was assigned to an FBI office in Thomasville, Georgia, on November 22, 1963. Adams was responsible for investigating Joseph Adams Milteer, described as a radical with connections to the States Rights Party and KKK. Milteer, according to Adams, was involved in Kennedy’s assassination.
As revealed by the Church Committee in the mid-70s and according to internal FBI documents the agency controlled the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists beginning in the 1960s. More recently, it was revealed that racist radio talk show host Hal Turner operated as a “national security intelligence” asset for the FBI, thus demonstrating the agency still has its hooks in the lunatic fringe movement.

Google plugs free PC-to-phone calling into e-mail
AN FRANCISCO AP — Google Inc. is adding a free e-mail feature that may persuade more people to cut the cords on their landline phones.
The service unveiled Wednesday enables U.S. users of Google’s Gmail service to make calls from microphone-equipped computers to telephones virtually anywhere in the world.All calls in the U.S. and Canada will be free through at least the end of the year. That undercuts the most popular PC-to-phone service, Skype, which charges 1.2 cents to 2.1 cents per minute for U.S. calls. It also threatens to overshadow another free PC-to-phone calling service called MagicTalk that was just introduced by VocalTec Communications Ltd.Skype, Google and many other services have been offering free computer-
to-computer calling for years.Google hopes to make money on its PC-to-phone service by charging 2 cents or more per minute for international calls. The international rates will vary widely, sometimes even within the same country. Google posted a rate chart at https://www.google.com/voice/b/0/rates .
