Now, I’m NOT sure when this video was made, but Newt was all against Obamacare in years past, as you just heard. That was his GOOD Gollum side.
He is now saying that he believes Heath Care should be mandated…like our driver’s license. That’s his bad Gollum side. (gollum. goooollum.)
But we will go to jail if we don’t have health insurance, unlike car insurance–Drive with a license and worst case scenario, you pay a small fine. (And if you are black and live in St. Louis, you just go downtown once a year and your fine will be forgiven…sweet.)
In other words…he will make sure it’s not repealed. That’s what he does best. Says what the public wants to hear, then becomes a regular traitor. Paul Ryan just found out how Newt works. Newt says that conservatives should NEVER socially engineer, insinuating that Paul Ryan was trying to social engineer with his budget.
This coming from a man who worships Alvin Toffler, the master of social engineering. Newt LOVES to socially engineer. I bet he can socially enginer while driving his care. I bet, he can even do it while eating raw fish.
Newt also says that he thinks mandatory health insurance should be just like our mandatory driver’s license.
Well, gee, Newt…a driver’s license is about $35.00 every five years, and most health insurance, if you don’t happened to work for a big company, is so expensive, no one can afford it. (Citizens that is.) If we could all pay $35 dollars a year and be covered, we’d be all for it!
Stupid comparison.
Newt…the man who said he screwed around on his wife (at the SAME time he was taking about Bill Clinton’s affairs) because he just loved America so much, has now flip-flopped full circle saying he now supports the Obamacare. Or he doesn’t support it– just most all of the stuff in it.
Well of course he does, he was helping Hillary design it all way back when it was called HILLARYCARE. (Poor Hillary. Obama takes the Presidency, and now..Hillarycare is renamed Obamacare.)
Whatever…
This week, Gingrich has told so many lies, he just ends up sounding like the true social engineering New World Globalist he really is, and this nobody does not feel sorry for him one iota.
I’m beginning to think he’s really Gollum….he needs to find his precious, throw it in the fire, …and leave the rest of us alone.
What do you do when you’re the President of the United States, and one of your good buddies, who sat in the very same pews of the church you went to growing up…where you both listened to the racist Reverend Wright, who was also mentor to you both..is now a famous rapper? Why…you invite him to the White House for a party!
Yes, Obama’s buddy, Rapper Common, likes to brag about killing cops, (He loves guns) and so, Obama felt in order to make sure he keeps the young black vote, he invited Common to the White House to rant his poetry…poetry, which our President must actually agree with, because Common doesn’t like cops. Obama, if you remember, shares the same sentiment. He once called some cops ‘”really stupid”.
This action is not playing well out in Copland. They are asking themselves…do poetry and guns really mix?
So, what does Obama do to sooth the anger of the rest of the nation, not to mention all those cops that are offended? Why, you honor them right away at the White House! With a great photo-op! “We appreciate you service — you have our support,” Obama said during the annual White House ceremony for the National Association of Police Organizations.
And like a good politician, Obama is no fool. He blamed the poetry reading on Michelle, his wife, who said she liked to write and write and write..most of her life, and write some more, about all the anger and abuse she received as a black woman…all those $400,000 checks she had to cash, that beautiful home in Chicago…really, it’s a wonder she is still suffering so much that she must invite racist poets to the White House, but, apparently it’s so.
Next Wednesday Night’s Cocktail Party at the White House…(It’s a regular affair now) …for the night’s entertainment…Joe Biden will…count to ten, and show pictures of Osama’s diary…which he is mentioned in as being so little of a threat, he is NOT worth putting on a hit list.
Uzi’s, will be checked at the door, unless of course, you’re the rapper Common.
“Others (terrorists) are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves…So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our (counterterrorism) efforts.”
—Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.
Too many people have forgotten that statement. In fact, after he said that little burp of “information we do NOT need to know” it was entirely wiped from our memories. The only place you will hear about weather manipulation is on late night radio show, Coast to Coast, with George Noory .
Terrorists causing earthquakes? Terrorists alternating the climate? Terrorists seeding clouds in order to cause tornados and heavy flooding? Why are we in Afghanistan if they can do that?
Nah…that’s a conspiracy theory, Mr. Cohen. What’s the matter with you?
Still, the LAST thing I wanted to see when waking up on Mother’s Day, was our Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, and her big puss on my television. There she was, as I was wiping the sleep out of my eyes, pontificating on our local news station telling everyone in our poor disappearing city to beware and be prepared…for a major earthquake on the St. Madrid Fault. Just because we haven’t felt even a smidgen of a shake in over 100 years…that doesn’t mean we won’t get one, she said. And then—as if we did NOT get the message strong enough..they had a few other guys putting in their two cents: Why the airport is sitting on sifting sand. It could happen any day.
Gee…nothing like a little hint. As if the tornado that busted up the airport was just not enough.
Sorry. I don’t trust someone coming out and telling me to bunker down because they KNOW there is going to be an earthquake…unless of course, they have planned to cause one, or they know who is going to cause one. Especially when they could not even predict the ones in Japan, which had earthquakes all the time.
If you don’t believe that weather manipulation is going on all over the planet, then you are the type of person who gets up in the morning and is confident that even if man HAD the power to manipulate the weather he would never, EVER do it. Have a piece of cake, and go back to your morning coffee. Like my husband loves to say when I go crazy with this stuff…”Even if it’s true, what are YOU going to do about it.” (I hate it when he says that.) It’s like saying, “Even if you wanted to be Halle Berry, you’re NOT so what are you going to do about it?”
Men.
Weather manipulation, don’t you see…is the PERFECT weapon. Let’s take Japan for instance. Let’s say you are China, and you HATE Japan, your ancient enemy, and you have the power to cause an earthquake right off the shore of their nuclear reactors and thereby shutting down the nation and their food supply without even leaving a fingerprint. Would you do it?
Of course you would, if you were China. And there’s the dilemma. They are not telling us about this technology, and anyone who talks about it is considered a real nut, and BECAUSE of that, I don’t trust our OWN politicians and leaders. They don’t want you to know that they can use it too! And I’m sorry, any woman who can put Americans through the TSA sexual assault that she is doing now… even on little children at our airports, is not to be trusted—honestly, she really doesn’t care. I can just see her sitting in her ivory tower somewhere saying…We really must get these people in the Midwest cleared out. They are the last remaining conservatives keeping us from the transformation we so desperately need.
So, if you read that there has been major earthquake on the St. Madrid fault this year, you can bet that Mother Nature had some help.
The problem will be…which terrorist do we blame?
Nobody wants to know, because Halle Berry will never be me.
This was one of my favorite emails this past week.
This video reminds me of an old Richard Gere movie, POWER, where Richard played a PR man who was hired to get some guy elected President of the United States. It’s a movie worth watching, next time you’re at the video store.
The point of the movie was that a candidate can say ANYTHING to get himself elected, but once there, he can do whatever he wants. Scott Brown, ran as a conservative and won in Massachusetts. He is a fine example of what candidates can do to win people’s hearts. Scott drove a pick-up truck, got the tea party to back him, then after he was elected, he dumped them.
This video is a perfect example of this political deceit game. The promises Obama makes here are one of the reasons many voted for him. The only thing that is missing in this, is Obama saying that he would promise to never launch a war without Constitutional backing….something he just did. That is in another video.
So, one must ask…why ARE there not a boatload of reporters calling him on these things that he promised?
Uhhhhh…do I need to answer that?
Somebody should send this to Donald Trump…
Here we see 7 lies in less than 2 minutes. Amazing.
Pass it around if you haven’t seen it, and remember to tell your liberal friends when they go to the ballot box.
Nobody Cares that there are things on my bucket list that, unless by some great fortune of luck, I win the Mega millions on some stormy future night…there are two things that I will never do:
1. Be able to tell you what abalone taste like.
2. Be able to buy my best friend a dog just like this one. She took one look, and it was love. And she has expensive taste because he is the most expensive dog in the world at $1.6 million dollars. (Her taste in shoes is much more reasonable.)
And let’s just say, that winning the lottery would not be enough. Even if I COULD afford a mutt this adorable, you would have to become a billionaire just to feed him, because he eats…abalone, which is $70 a pound. Big Splash here weighs 180 pounds…over a lifetime, he could eat his cost in abalone easily. And let’s not forget the security system on your house, and the body guard you would need to walk him…it could add up.
These dogs like to watch TV..so you would have to get big screens, probably their own room…okay…you get the picture.
My friend Pattie is the one who got me into this mess. You see, I found out what a good cook she was, and so I started looking up things she had never cooked before, and came across Abalone in a book. I was trying to impress her…”So, I bet you’ve never cooked Abalone!”
“NO..what’s that?”
So, we went searching for it, and when we couldn’t find it at the local stores, we said, “Well, we’ll go to where the RICH people shop!” And they didn’t even know what it was. Let’s just say, abalone is not something you will find in the middle of the United States, without knowing someone who knows Donald Trump.
But, somewhere in China, Big Splash, the most famous dog in world, is dining on abalone tonight. I’m going to have to say…I bet it takes just like dog food.
There— now I feel better. There are some things in life that really don’t need to be experienced, like taking heroin, climbing Mt. Everest, insulting Stephen King when one of your favorite authors is his good buddy Dave Barry, or getting arrested in China for stealing the most expensive dog in the world…even if it is for your best friend.
As all mothers who are REAL mothers, always say: “It the thought that counts.”
I’m thinking about cha’ Pattie. How about a Big Splash calendar?
Wisconsin lawmakers sent a bill eliminating most collective=bargaining rights for the state’s public-employee unions to Gov. Scott Walker on Thurday, setting a precedent other states could follow in the broadest move in decades to curb unon rights.
This was my favorite video from the Wisconsin Union Strikers. It seems Sly and the family Stone have been revived and booked for a encore. The “cop” is a stripper (I don’t know, I kinda doubt that one) and the deer could be anyone ….but by the way he plays the horn, I’d guess he’s from the Fred Flinstone’s “Find a Mouse and Kill It.” By now, the American hero, Scott Walker, has stunned in this order: Jesse Jackosn, Jesse Jackson Jr., Joy Bearyourheart, and Michael Moore…who was so beside himself, he attacked Oprah on National TV with a pair of handcuffs, that no doubt, he got off that stripper cop.
Micheal also took it upon himself to make himself the head of the NEA and cancel all the schools all over the country for Friday, in a day of celebration.
What? You don’t think that most of the kids in America will not be celebrating becuase Micheal Moore said they could take the day off?
Jesse Jackson acts like these people are going to…float down the Mississippi and Sting like a bee…not necessarily in that order. But, before you feel sorry for them, here’s some statistics.

Nobody Reports: Can you believe this? Al-Jazeera is reporting REAL news according to our Secretary of State, Hillary (I got #$%) Clinton. And here in America, we do not get good news anymore, she says. It doesn’t exist. We have too many commercials, and talking pundits. Too much “democratic” debate there for you Hillary?
(I stopped watching Seseme Street some time ago, Hillary, what are YOU watching? )
Not only that, but she thinks more people here in America are starting to watch Al Jazeera because it gives the “news.”
It’s official. Lady Clariol is doing way too much damage.
Just who do you think she is talking about here? Everyone knows: FOX .
The good news is: it means the liberals are losing in the media department, so therefore they have to send out Hillary Clinton, the woman who said (I don’t remember) about two thousand times before a grand jury, to tell us all we are not getting the facts. We need MORE stations like Al Jazeera.
Oh sure…Al Jazeera is filled with “news.” I can just imagine.
The bad news is: This means Obama the Muslim-in-Chief, wants to get Al Jazeera put on all our cable channels, so that (his) plans to make this a Muslim Nation can continue.
This statement was so insane, you can only wonder…what next? Is Hillary going to start telling us all that maybe the women over here should start wearing burkhas?
Oh…right.
They will have to get rid of O’Reilly first, and that guy will not go genlty into that good night, nor will Glenn Beck, or Cavuto…or Hannity, or Palin.
Face it Hillary..the only people that are going to turn on Al Jazeera here are Muslims.
Now I know why you have stopped wearing makeup,—you want to be a star on Al Jazeera. You don’t want to ‘offend” your Muslim comrades. It seems you have still forgotten the fact that you are an American woman.
Hillary…were you EVER an American woman?
“I don’t …recall.”
I thought you’d say that.
The day I am forced to pay for Al Jazeera on my TV cable subscription, is the day I will cancel. ..or maybe…that’s the plan.
Nobody’s Opinion: Ron Paul won the CPAC vote for most favorite man to represent the conservative people last week. And in this Nobody’s Opinion, the most important fight that Ron brings to the table is—getting rid of the Federal Reserve.
Ron has been a lone voice in Congress against the Federal Reserve for quite a few years now, and finally the American public is starting to wake up.
****
The Federal Reserve seems to control all our lives in its secretive “trickle down” way. Remember Bill Clinton fawning all over Alan Greenspan year after year? Many of us really didn’t get it at the time– at least those of us who suffer from the great American educational experience, where the government is all good, our Founders were wicked men, and Martin Luther King was way greater than George Washington—and you can go ahead and eat the banana AFTER you take the condom off. (Sorry, info brain overload)
*****
But now we do get it. Wall Street, with the help of the Federal Reserve, just downsized us, and then supersized themselves, with the help of Bush and Obama, and that gentle man, Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke.
*****
It’s hard to keep up with all the corrupt and secrets deals conducted behind closed door, but today I happened upon something I didn’t know about.
*****
Let me introduce you to the Depositary Trust & Clearing Corporation. They are a privately owned depository bank for institutional and brokerage firms only. The Federal Reserve handles all the DTCC transactions. In other words, it is owned by the same stockholders as the Federal Reserve System. It’s just a front for them. The FED mandates that the DTCC process every securities transaction in the US.
*****
Here’s how it works according to Zen Gardner:
****
In the old days, when you owned stocks you would have the stock certificates lying in your safe. And if you needed to trade them, you needed to get them shipped off to a broker. Nowadays that would be considered very cumbersome, and it would be impractical to invest via computer or over the phone. So the shortcut was invented that the broker would hold your stocks instead of you. And in order for him to legally be able to trade them for you, the stocks were placed under their “street name”. I.e. they’re in the name of the brokerage, but they’re just holding them in trust and trading them for you. And you’re in reality the beneficiary rather than the owner. *****
Which is all fine and dandy if everything goes right. Now, it appears the rules were then changed so the brokers are not allowed any longer to put the stocks in their own name. Instead, what they typically do is to put the stocks into the name of “Cede and Company” or “Cede & Co” or some such variation. And the broker might tell you that it is just a fictitious name, and will explain why it is really more practical to do that than to put it in your name.
*****
The problem with that is that it appears that Cede isn’t just some dummy name, but an actual corporation that DTCC controls. And, well, if you ask anybody about this, who actually knows about it, they will naturally tell you that it is all a formality. To serve you better, of course. And, well, maybe it is. DTCC seems like a nice and friendly company. It is a private company, owned by the same people (major U.S. banks) who own the Federal Reserve Bank. And if they all stick to their job, and just keep the money and your stocks flowing smoothly, I’m sure that is all well and good. But if somebody at some point should decide otherwise, and there’s a national U.S. emergency and/or the U.S. government becomes unable to pay its debts, well, they might just not give you your stocks back. Because legally they own them.
*****
Guess what? The DTCC holds assets of 23 trillion dollars,, and it had 917 trillion dollars worth of transactions in the year 2002…I wonder what it was in 2910, don’t you?
*****
To sum it up, they process the vast majority of all stock transactions in the U.S. and many other countries…and 99% of all stocks in the U.S. appears to be legally owned by them. And shouldn’t we, the citizens of the United States, at least KNOW who owns stock in the Federal Reserve Bank? And see the books? Is this any worse than Al Capone books?
*****
Ron Paul once said, “There is something fishy about the head of the world’s most powerful government bureaucracy, one that is involved in a full-time counterfeiting operation to sustain monopolistic financial cartels, and the world’s most powerful central planner, who set the price of money worldwide, proclaiming the glories of capitalism. ”
*****
This Nobody agrees….the Federal Reserve and all its stockholders make Al Capone look like a tiny minnow in Lake Michigan. It’s time we elect more people in Congress to help out Ron Paul. The big fish at the Federal Reserve Bank are starting to really stink.
—This little slip of the tongue. Obama is a Muslim, and like all good Muslims in America, he hides his faith. And if you take note…the reporter corrected his little secret instanly, as if it’s a well know fact with many of the media. Remember…look at the ease in which he states the fact.
But, even if you believe his statements that he is a Christian, we have watched his actions haven’t we? When he closed down NASA, he gave them a new order…make sure and help those poor misguided camel riders of Islam..get them up to speed with the United States and most importantly, help their esteem.
And then, remember his statement about how the Muslims have made wonderful contributions to America? They are as much a part of America as the rest of us?
Right…and my name is Osama Bin Liden.
It has been reported, in many various media’s, that the Obama adminstration was talking to the Muslim Brotherhood before these riots, and the liberal media has made an all out effort to tell us…”Oh, they aren’t so bad..really nice guys, come on…they are only twenty percent of the people!”
Obama is no friend to the Jews, and he has made it quite obvious he blames them for Gaza.
While Obama and his favorite parrot, Mr. Gibbs, keep repeating platitudes of freedom and the people will decide, yada yada…this nobody doesn’t buy it.
What a better way to promote his favorite religion than to promote the Brotherhood in Egypt? America has given over $50 billion in the last decade to Mubarack, mostly in military weapons.
Think of what the “Brotherhood” could do with those weapons.
Democracy in the Islamic countries means radical jihadests, Hamas, Hezbollah…and all those really great guys who hate us. George W. Bush found that out. You cannot promote democracy to these people, their religion does not even allow it.
Here’s the question: just how many American companies are in Egypt right now? And Obama is in talks with energy companies as we speak…
With a Muslim in the White House…we can only pray we make it to the next election.
(And no…I won’t take that back. Unlike other people, I happened to still believe my own…ears and eyes. )
Nobody Wins when the world is in riots…or..do they? As we watched the mobs in Cairo, we also watched the price of a barrel of oil go up.
**
Can you blame them? They make $2 dollars a day we are told. And with that they somehow manage cell phones and internet, and men that look like they haven’t miss a meal since Lawrence of Arabia.
**
But…consider this; “The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years. — The Daily Telegraph.
**
Here we hear the President talking to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak:
**
Yeah…now, I want you to know, it’s going to get a little scary, but, this is going to help our plans to get Americans onto those electric trains. Stay low. You’ll get a piece of the pie soon enough. Uh…now..uh..this is what I want you to do. Kill the internet. We’ll get Google right on it. You will get the billion I promised. In the meantime, remember to assure everyone that democracy is coming soon. Trust me, I know a bit about controlling a riot. **
Hey, how’s that new golf course coming along?
(Nobody makes this stuff up.)
**
Okay, that’s silly maybe. But, not any sillier than when Hillary and Obama came out sounding like Thomas Jefferson’s ugly step-children, preaching that all people should have freedom of speech, and freedom to gather and protest, and the right to choose their own destiny— I was wondering just WHO they were talking to?
**
Certainly not the American people. They don’t rule us like that. They have made it clear that they don’t want us to even THINK about controlling our own lives.
**
You can’t help but wonder what the globalists are up to: But…Jimmy Carter’s old butt-boy, Zbigniew Brzezinski gave us a hint. He recently said this:
**
“The major world powers, new and old, also face a novel reality: while the lethality of their military might is greater than ever, their capacity to impose control over the politically awakened masses of the world is at a historic low. To put it bluntly: in earlier times, it was easier to control one million people than to physically kill one million people; today, it is infinitely easier to kill one million people.”
“Brzezinski laments the fact that the Internet has made it almost impossible for the global elite to control the political environment, to control the thoughts and behavior of one million people, which is precisely why Egypt moved to shut down the world wide web yesterday in a desperate bid to prevent activists from organizing against the state.”
**
I love the “it’s easier to kill one million people” part, don’t you?
**
Coming from a President that wants the power to have his own “internet” kill switch, it’s hard to believe anything they said today, and Nobody Wins if you do.
Note to Readers: If you are new here, I most apologize up front. This blog is looooog…it just so happens some guy (see his piece) insulted Michelle Backmann, and it just put my patriotic feathers in a big huff. It’s about how the libs LOVE to rewrite history.
We can’t let them do that now, can we?
********
Nobody Cares about what happened this last week. It seems, since Palin has keep off the grid, Michelle Backmann is the new target for the liberals. (Yes. I said target. It’s a word. It has meaning. It’s in the dictionary…have they banned the dictionary yet?)
Michelle very graciously gave the tea party’s rebuttal to Obama’s State of the Union Speech.
Because they (progressives) couldn’t criticize what she said, (Which were FACTS.) they criticized her eyes. They looked funny. And then, Jonathan Capehart, a black writer for the Washington Post, went further and reprimanded Michelle for being stupid and not knowing history, I guess like he knows it. Chris Matthews then jumped on the bandwagon and joined in. Rather viciously.
What was this about?
Michelle said this:
“I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly — men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.”
And Jonathan replied:
“Bachmann also earned my raised eyebrow with her musings on slavery — a “scourge” — and the founding fathers, who she said “worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.” wrote Jonathan. Talking Points Memo corrected Bachmann’s history lesson by pointing out that Adams wasn’t one of the founders and that he died 15 years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Perhaps she was thinking of John Adams, the second president of the United States, who is different from John Quincy Adams, the new nation’s sixth president.”
NOBODY SAYS—: Oh..pass me that shot of turkey tequila boys… I’m about to unload on this guy.
Nobody’s Letter to Mr. Capehart of the Washington Post.
Dear Mr. Capehart,
I don’t know you, but with a raised eyebrow, and a bag of potato chips, I am here to prove, by irrefutable historical fact, that you, dear sir, owe Michelle Backmann an apology.
Sit back, ..and learn…and watch those eyes.
PART ONE: FOUNDER
You say that John Quincy Adams was not a founder? Never mind that Michelle said forefather NOT founder.
(You just can’t trust a liberal with a noun these days, look what happened to Monica.)
I suppose that in your mind, as in most Americans, the only founders that come up are the simple ones to remember…right? Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison. And why do you think that is?
Because most third graders can only remember a few names at a time.
John Quincy was the sixth President you say? So that means he is not a founder? Let’s review a few of his accomplishments for our newly founded country: pretend you’re in the seventh grade now.
***
At 7, JQA witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill. At 14, he helped his father John Adams, (while the country was at war) in France because his father, founder John Adams, couldn’t speak French. JQA could. THINK: John Adams was a founder. He needed his son to translate. He then parted with his father and helped the country’s FIRST ambassador to Russia., Francis Dana. He learned French, Dutch and German.
He was..just getting started.
George Washington appointed him ambassador to the Netherlands. (Remember, this was when we only had a handful of ambassadors who really worked, unlike today when thousands of retired politicians are handed cushy jobs where the hardest part of their day is deciding what high priced restaurant to eat at) These few men had a boatload of influence in the major decisions of the early days.
When John Adams, his father became President, he served as US ambassador to Prussia, from 1797-1801.
When Thomas Jefferson became President, JQA became a Senator from Massachusetts, and then because he backed Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase in Congress, his party, broke with him.
James Madison made him the ambassador to Russia. He helped negotiate the Treaty of Ghent to put an end to the War of 1812. In 1815 he became the minister to Great Britain.
While serving as Secretary of State under James Monroe, (Wow…all these founders, must have thought a lot of this guy..huh?) he helped us (while supporting his nemesis Jackson) obtain Florida.
What…a country without Florida? Did he NOT found…Florida? At least give him credit for that.
Jonathan, did you know he made a treaty with Britain to stop all slave trading, but the Senate rejected it?
He is the author of the Monroe Doctrine. One of MY personal favorite quotes from his is “America goes not abroad searching for Monsters to destroy.”
In 1825, Adams became the fifth President. He ran against Andrew Jackson, a propionate of slavery, and a hater of Indians, (which JQA was not) and Jackson was furious. He served one term and lost to Jackson.
Summary to this point: Even though he was just a kid during the revolution, his service during the war, and after the war to his country, just as ambassador to all the other nations…(remember he worked all of Europe) should make him equally important. In my Nobody Opinion, JQA should be included as one of the last FOUNDERS, but I’ll go with Michelle…as a forbearer.
John Quincy was a much an American hero as Jefferson. (Who may I add, sat in his house during the entire war.) He helped the new nation get a steady foothold in the world.

PART TWO: JQA WAS the Father of Anti-Slavery
Talking points Memo to Jonathan: Let me get this straight, Jonathan. You think that since JQA died 15 years before the Emancipation Proclamation he had nothing to do with getting rid of slavery, am I correct? Let me prove that he is most likely was the author of that concept.
I hope you’re getting yourself a nice hot toddy right now Jonathan; Here’s what you really need to know—–
In 1830 John Quincy Adams served in the House, eight terms. Oh, this was AFTER his Presidency.
His first act as Congressmen was to present a petition in favor of abolishing slavery in D.C.
NOBODY NOTES: (Read John Quincy Adams by Lynn Hudson Parsons to find out why just D.C,. I can’t do all the work for you.)
In the next few years, while Jackson was President, JQA alone presented hundreds of anti-slavery petitions, they were referred to committees and forgotten. Democrats loved their slaves.
And so Congress invented the “gag rule” which violated the Bill of Rights, but nevertheless the Democrats who WANTED slavery to continue, used it to stifle discussion.
Andrew Jackson called for a national censorship law. (Obama’s internet gags coming soon?)
Adams was rallying for the abolition of slavery long before Lincoln. What? Did you think Abraham, one man alone should take credit for the abolition of slavery?
Both John and his son, hated the institution. Unlike Washington and Jefferson, they had no slaves because they put their principles before their comfort. Washington and Jefferson should have done the same…but they didn’t.
Adams said, “The rottenness of the heart of our Union is Slavery.”
As the years of ‘gagging” persisted, John Quincy became the abolitionists hero. And he tried every trick in the book, just to present the ‘gag” rule to be removed. Again it came up. The Congress were full of Harry Reids. They wrote:
“all petitions, memorials, resolutions, propositions, or papers, relating to in any way, or to any extent whatsoever, the subject of slavery, or the abolitions of slavery, shall without being printed or observed, be laid on the table, and that no further action whatsoever shall be had therein.”
(Gotta love those democrats.)
Adams rose to protest “Am I gagged or not?” The resolution passed117-68.
Nope. Sorry. Slaves are cheap, (and those poor illegal’s)
For the next decade Adams, fought alone, but slowly he got a few helpers in the House. And in time, the abolitions were out in droves, in churches: everywhere.
In 1842 (It’s now been twelve years since he started) JQA had a single petition with 51,863 signatures.
“Adams became an expert at cramming in a s much of a petition contests as he could before being declared out of order.” –Lynn Hudson Parsons
There is NO one in Congress today that matches the hatred that Adams held among his colleagues in Congress. They tried to censure him, time and again. But he was there…fighting for the rights of slaves to be addressed.
He was called a Massachusetts madman. He was getting death threats from the South. They wanted to flog him, shoot him, hang him, or cut his “damned guts out in the dark.” Adams ignored them. But don’t think he didn’t suffer. Like Lincoln, he had many bouts with depression.
Okay, you get it. It got nasty…year after year, this man was hated by the slave owners.
Never to despair…when given anothor chance, he gave a three hour speech to remove the gag rule, in 1841, but the slaveholders launched an attack that lasted for three days. It was defeated, but it was close.
Also in 1841, he took the evils of slavery in the Amistad case all the way to the Supreme Court.It woke up a nation.
And finally on December 3, 1844, the gag rule was removed.
“Blessed, ever blessed be the name of God. I regard it as the apoplexy of the Constitution.”said JQA.
During the war for Texas, John Quincy Adams suggested that if Congress was to declare war (JQA, without good reasons, thought the Southerners wanted Texas to broaden the slave states) they should free the slaves if they expected the Northern men to fight.
Yes, Adams suggested the use of Emancipation Proclamation…
Here’s a bit from Wikipedia: If a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a correct prediction of Abraham Lincoln’s use of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Adams met Abraham Lincoln during the latter’s sole term as a member of the House of Representatives, from 1847 until Adams’ death. Thus, it has been suggested that Adams is the only major figure in American history who knew both the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln.
Adams had been pushing this idea for some time. Lincoln met with him…knew him…and took his suggestion. Just like Henry Ford took Edison’s suggestions when he got stuck on mechanical problems with his Model T.
Adams thought of it first…hate to break it to you, Jonathan.
So I hope you have learned something today Mr. Capehart. Michelle was right. It’s high time John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams got their proper respect for not only putting this country on its proper course, but fighting Democrat’s love of slavery….and against great odds.
If I seem a little cranky about your “mistake” …it’s because I come from VERY crabby and cranky, and not so politically correct ancestors. They were the FIRST Tea Party…family, and I just can’t help myself.
That’s JQA, my grandfather George, and me standing next to a likeness of Sam Adams.(I’ve got Sam’s great legs…don’t ya think?)
Sam, the REAL &*$&^ disturber of the family just got promoted, after what? How many years? I hear they had his statue moved up from sitting right outside the ladies bathroom in the basement, to the Capitol Rotunda floor.
Way to go Sam. Hang in there. Another three hundred years and you’ll make it to the mall!
NONE of the Adams were politicians. They were much too honest, and principled. It hurt them in both their Presidency’s. Nevertheless, they deserve a a memorial of some kind. So, this nobody suggests somewhere near the Smithsonian, because if not for JQA who protected the donated money from congress…it wouldn’t even be there.
Jonathan, I want you to know, I think you’ll do the right thing.— Tell Chris Mathews to call me, next time he gets a thrill.
Nobody Wins: Nobody is talking about it, but to this nobody, China took the final step to formalizing her global conquering today…Hu Jintao came, and conquered the United States without a blow.
Lao Tzu be proud.
Our “President” Obama was the broker, but evidently he didn’t do a good job by the look on his face during the press conference.
Hu Jintao flew into Washington today, to work out the final agreements between our multinational companies, and the price he demands for letting them sell their goods in China.
And the price? America.
This paragraph from WND sums WHY America is being sold to China:
***** Our multinational companies still invest, of course – just not at home. A study by the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Council Foundation found that the share of the profits of U.S.-based multinationals that came from their foreign affiliates had increased from 17 percent in 1977 and 27 percent in 1994 to 48.6 percent in 2006. As the companies’ revenue from abroad has increased, their dependence on American consumers has diminished. The equilibrium among production, wages and purchasing power – the equilibrium that Henry Ford famously recognized when he upped his workers’ pay to an unheard-of $5 a day in 1913 so they could afford to buy the cars they made, the equilibrium that became the model for 20th-century American capitalism – has been shattered. Making and selling their goods abroad, U.S. multinationals can slash their workforces and reduce their wages at home while retaining their revenue and increasing their profits. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. *****
And who did Hu Jintao want to meet? Do you really think he gives a hoot about Obama? No. Obama is just a side kick.
Here’s what was reported on Drudge:
****** Chief executive officers from Microsoft Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. will be among the corporate leaders the Obama administration is bringing together today for a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao aimed at expanding U.S. business interests in China.
*****
(Let’s talk about Goldman Sachs. Since the “meltdown,” Goldman Sachs had the most profitable quarter ever, snatching business away from weakened rivals. Goldman Sachs donated four times more money to Obama’s election than to McCain. And let’s not forget that Bush made Henry Paulson, the former President of Goldman, our secretary treasury. a man who spends more time in China than most people do in their bathrooms.
Goldman Sachs people are all over our government in high posts. Enough for me to suggest a name change to GSUSA)
****** CEOs Steve Ballmer of Microsoft and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman will be joined by General Electric Co.’s Jeffrey Immelt, Jim McNerney of Boeing Co. and 10 other U.S. business leaders for the meeting, the administration announced. *****
(This is all about GE, Microsoft, and Boeing, getting their products into China. FREE TRADE? Right, these men could care less about American workers. It’s all about their short term profits.)
*****
Also invited to the meeting were Westinghouse Electric Corp. CEO Aris Candris; former Sybase Inc. chief executive John Chen; Coca-Cola Co. chief executive Muhtar Kent; DuPont Co. CEO Ellen J. Kullman; Greg Page, CEO of Cargill Inc.; John Thornton, chairman of HSBC Holdings Plc’s North American division; David Rubenstein, co-founder and managing director of Carlyle Group; Paul Otellini, Intel Corp. CEO; and Dow Chemical Co. CEO Andrew Liveris.
*****
(Are you starting to see the pattern here? Do you REALLY think we are going to bottle coke, make light bulbs here and export them? )
*****
Hu will travel later in the week to Chicago, where U.S. and Chinese companies will announce about 40 agreements, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs said.
*****
(Yeah, go see the Godfather.)
China has no intention of playing fair. We are going to be “mined” just like every other country in the world. Phyllis Shavley says it the best:
*****
China has a communist government, so the Communist Party is in the driver’s seat. China can violate with impunity all international law and trade agreements, slap taxes and regulations on U.S. plants in China, compel U.S. corporations to give their trade secrets and manufacturing know-how to Chinese competitors and force Americans to keep silent about the unfairness of it all.
*****
Our companies no longer think in governments. Just profits. For the first time at the G-20 meeting in South Korea, the CEO”s of the world had their meetings next door. They have enough power to make Congress outlaw lightbulbs, and Mickey’s copyright to go on forever.
Like the politician, they do not have to obey the laws either.
If America dies and comes under China rule….what’s it to them?. Even Glenn Beck had a man on who suggested to Americans that we all learn Chinese. And he said it like…so what?
China got Bill Clinton to give them many of our military secrets through the Commerce Department. Boeing sold them our super computers and military hardware.
It’s all about the money. And Clinton will be in Chicago with Rahm, to meet Hu.
Locally, I am really starting to see the takeover…for instance:
I remember growing up here in St. Louis, and TWA was King of Lambert Field. They had a major hub here, and you could take TWA to anywhere in the world, and even get a meal, pillows, cards, peanuts…and pick the seat next to the window. When TWA left town, and McDonald Douglass got bought out by Boeing, the airport became a ghost town. Nevertheless, as one major industry after another closed down, (Ford makes more money overseas than here in the US) they expanded our airport. We have probably one of the biggest airfields in the world. This airfield can hold the biggest planes ever built, and China has a lot of them.
And now we’ve learned WHY they kept building …Today in the Post Dispatch it was announced how pleased Roy Blunt(R)and MS Caranhan(D) were about the fact that China Airlines are coming to make St. Louis their big hub.
*****
“I’m so pleased that China Eastern Airlines will partner with St. Louis to negotiate a trade and commercial exchange hub in Missouri. St. Louis offers the perfect location, ideal space, and a strong workforce for this hub, and I look forward to the increased agriculture and manufacturing job creation and economic development that this initiative will bring to our state
*****
What a bunch of hooy.
Guess what’s NEXT to China’s big airport in St. Louis? Boeing. And next to Boeing, where once there was a HUGE Ford manufacturing plant, is now going to be filled with “space” to hold the cargo that China will fly in to be spread outover the whole country.
China was smart. They did a Reagan. They killed us with our own greed. Our multinational companies will go over there for a while, and then…China will take them over.UNLESS…Donald Trump becomes President.
So…, Kung Fu and Merry Christmas, America. We have handed over our technology and all secrets, and help build their country up, and now they are stronger, and we have been destroyed by our own citizens. That’s how
I see it.
Obama said today the world should rejoice at the rising of China.
HI!….If you have been following me on Townhall…welcome! My name is Joyanna Adams, and thanks to my crabby ancestors, I’ve more than enough to say to get us all in trouble.
I’m new to this WordPress…but lets hope it actaully posts my words and opinions, as you know, I have only too many.
So, wish me luck…and for goodness sake’s make a lot of comments! In other words…put in YOUR opinions too!
I’ve been in the desert with my ice camel where’s that’s concerned!
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
Nobody’s Opinion: Ron Paul won the CPAC vote for most favorite man to represent the conservative people last week. And in this Nobody’s Opinion, the most important fight that Ron brings to the table is—getting rid of the Federal Reserve.
Note to Readers: If you are new here, I most apologize up front. This blog is looooog…it just so happens some guy (see his piece) insulted Michelle Backmann, and it just put my patriotic feathers in a big huff. It’s about how the libs LOVE to rewrite history.
