LBJ Anointed by FDR
Nobody Reads
Did you know that FDR loved LBJ? I didn’t, until I read this:
“Another young man on whom FDR’s favor fell was Lyndon B. Johnson from Texas, a former schoolteacher who came to Congress full of enthusiasm, cunning, and sharp practice in 1937. FDR loved him and seems to have regarded him as his natural successor at some future date. In 1944 he used his executive authority, unlawfully and unconstitutionally, to save Johnson from going to jail for criminal tax fraud.”—(p. 761, A History of the American People-Paul Johnson)
Just another example of how long Presidents have acted like Kings, and also to remember that the Clintons LOVED FDR, the closest President we’ve ever had who acted like a dictator (excluding King Obama) and expanded the government to the egregious monster it is today.
Which brings to mind another famous meeting:
What are the odds?
Herbert Hoover: Tea Party Poster Boy: Read This Remarkable Speech
Nobody Remembers
Remember Herbert Hoover? If you do, you might remember that your school taught you that it was Hoover that caused the Great Depression, and the great and noble FDR saved the United States from his terrible destruction.
Poppycock. FDR put us in the mess we are today. His expansion of government was so huge, so invasive, we never got over it. He was also the Clinton’s god. It’s not by coincidence that when Obama ran for President, they put him on the cover of the Times as FDR. The liberals have never gotten over the man they thought was truly, government personified. They even build a memorial to him in Washington D.C., which not too many people know about. And now, Obama has become his reincarnation.
I was glancing through my Annals books today, and found this remarkable speech, given by Herbert Hoover—(see it in it’s entirety here.)
In this speech, Hoover sounds just like a Tea Party patriot—and who knew? Certainly not any history teacher I can remember. He was always made out to be the scum of the earth, and after reading some of this, I can see why.
Hoover could not believe what Roosevelt had done with the New Deal. Remember the New Deal? That was the biggest unconstitutional growth ever mandated by a President, BEFORE Obama came along.
Listen to a few things that Hoover said in a speech delivered to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on June 10, 1936, and tell me it doesn’t bring you to shake your head in: OMG..this crap has been around for a long, long, time:
“The Supreme Court has reversed some ten or twelve of the New Deal major enactments.”
(so..see, Obamacare CAN be reversed! )
“Many of these acts were a violation of the rights of men and of self government. “
(By the way, has anyone gone to Justice Roberts house for candy tonight?)
“the Congress has abandoned its responsibility to check even the expenditures of money. They have turned open appropriations into personal power. These are destruction of the very safeguards of free people.”
(Will Paul Ryan suddenly developed a fondness for China? )
“We have seen these gigantic expenditures and this torrent of waste pile up a national debt which two generation cannot repay. “
(Right now, we’re looking at the year….7822. )
“One time I told a Democratic Congress that “you cannot spend yourselves into prosperity.” You recall that advice did not take then. It hasn’t taken yet. “
(How would Herbert like those Obama phones? And no, it hasn’t taken yet. Sorry Herbert.)
“Billions have been spent to prime the economic pump. It did employ a horde of paid officials upon the pump handle. We have seen the frantic attempts to find new taxes on the rich. Yet three quarters of the bill well be sent to the average man and the poor. He and his wife and his grandchildren will be giving a quarter for all their working days to pay taxes. Freedom to work for himself is changed into a slavery of work for the follies of government.”
(Why isn’t this engraved in the Halls of Congress..? And try half the year…)
“We have seen an explosive inflation of bank credits by this government borrowing . We have seen varied steps toward currency inflation that have already enriched the speculator and deprived the poor. If this is to continue, and end result is the tears and anguish of universal bankruptcy and distress. No democracy in history has survived the final stages of inflations.”
(We have seen…we are seeing, the final stages of inflations. Obama is stocking up on bullets.)
“We have seen the building up of a horde of political officials. We have seen the pressures upon the helpless and destitute to trade political support for relief. Both are a pollution of the very fountains of liberty. “
“The New Deal may be a revolutionary design to replace the American system with despotism. “
(Can we find a big pot to dump all the despots in and start over?)
Nobody Thinks that this speech could be uttered by Ted Cruz today…as it would sound as true as the day it was written.
Allistar Cooke remarked that FDR WAS a dictator. He expanded the government more than any that had come before him. And that’s one of the reasons Presidents have made Congress impotent.
America survived that man, but can we survive another? 
In conclusion Hoover said this:
“There are some principles that cannot be compromised. Either we shall have a society based upon ordered liberty and the initiative of the individual, or we shall have a planned society that means dictation, no matter what you call it or who does it. There is no halfway ground. They cannot be mixed. Government must either release the powers of the individual for honest achievement or the very forces it creates will drive it inexorably to lay its paralyzing hand more and more heavily upon individual effort. Less than twenty years ago we accepted those ideal as the air we breathe. We fought a great war for their protection. We took upon ourselves obligations of billions. We buried our sons in foreign soil. but in this score of years we have seen the advance of collectivism and its inevitable tyranny in more than half the civilized world. In this thundering ear of world crisis distracted, American stand confused and uncertain.”
And American STILL stands confused and uncertain.
Obama hopes that in the future, George W. Bush will be remembered as the man who caused the “great recession” of the 21st century, and that he, Barack Obama, saved the people.
And if Herbert Hoover was alive today he would say: POPPYCOCK!!
My nobody friends, we are repeating history.
Steve Forbes quotes FDR…
Nobody Reports
How can anyone not like Stephen Forbes? I remember feeling sorry for him when he ran for President, because, in this world of “who’s the prettiest” Steve was last in line. Still, I’m glad he did run, because I started paying attention to most everything he said afterwards. And here’s a small sample of why I like this man:
From Forbes Magazine: September 23. 2013
The Federal Reserve, with hardly a comment uttered, has openly made itself into the fourth branch of government, amassing immense powers. This must make the other branches, you know, the ones sanctioned by the Constitution drool with envy. By massively expanding its balance sheet, it has gone into the credit allocation business. Big Government and large businesses benefit from almost zero cost credit. “It comes at the expense of small businesses where most of the entry level jobs are created. “
And then Steve sites a quote from FDR:
If you have a chance, go online and read an astonishing speech FDR gave in San Francisco before the Commwealth Club as a presidential candidate, just before the 1932 election. In it he declares.
“Our Industrial plant is built….Our last frontier has long since been reached, and there is practically no more free land…to which those thrown out of work by the Eastern economic machines can go for a new start.” Big companies were more and more dominating the economic landscape. If present trends continue, Roosevelt warns, the time will come when “We shall have all American industry controlled by a dozen corporations, and run by perhaps an hundred men…The independent businessman is running a lost race.” Roosevelt concluded with words that would have the current White House occupant nodding in sympathy: “Our task now is not discovery or exploitation of natural resources…It is the soberer, less dramatic business of administering resources and plants already in hand…of distribution wealth and products more equitably, of adapting existing economic organizations to the service of the people.” Then the Killer: “The day of enlightened (i.e., government) administration has come. ” Indeed.
Nobody Thinks Obamacare was done at the request of big business, and that’s why the Rino’s want it to.
The good news? We still have Steve Forbes, a man who knows the rich, doing all he can to inform and educate us. All we need is more of them speaking out.
Can the Obama’s Exploit the Oscars? YES WE CAN!
Nobody Opinion
(Written before the Oscars, but I’ve updated…in places)
Nobody will argue, that Lincoln will probably walk away with the most Oscars tonight, for the simple reason that Spielberg is a genius, and nobody can tell a story and bring it to life as well as he can.
It should win easily. But then again…Hillary and Kerry are rooting for Argo. Isn’t that a first in American history? Politicians publically announcing their favorite to win an Oscar?
Politics are in almost all the movies in contention for the Oscar tonight, and if ARGO wins over Lincoln, one might assume that Hillary Clinton and John Kerry had something to do with it. I haven’t seen it, but I’m sure it glorifies the State Department, and is more than likely, a propaganda film, to make everyone forget the horror Hillary’s State Department made in Benghazi
(It’s also not historically true. It was the Canadians who got the people out, says Jimmy Carter, who was President at the time.)
But, back to Lincoln. Why do this movie now?
More times that I can count, Obama’s PR machine has been put him on the fronts of magazines portraying him as Lincoln, or FDR— the two Presidents in past history who, more than any others, ignored the Constitution and gave themselves overwhelming powers. Powers not intended for them to have. They simply took it. FDR, with his NEW DEAL, had become such a dictator, Congress passed the 22nd amendment to keep that from ever happening again.
Last week in the Washington Post, Tom Fox wrote an editorial called, “Why Presidents Need to be Exploiters” to support the idea that in crisis, President should always take advantage and extent their powers.
The public almost never moves in the president’s direction if there is division in the country. It is difficult to reach most citizens, overcome their predispositions and combat a vocal opposition. When FDR found Congress extraordinarily responsive to the crisis, (depressions and war) he effectively exploited this opportunity and rapidly passed the original New Deal. He did not try to create an opportunity; instead, he brilliantly exploited one. This is presidential effectiveness. (Can I gag here?)
In other words, whenever a man sees a chance to take more power…go for it.
And since this Nobody thinks nothing is a coincidence when it comes to politics, I think both Lincoln and Argo were made to promote the Obama administration in Washington. Argo, the State Department, and Lincoln—Obama. ALL of Congress got special viewings.
Must be nice not to have to pay admission fee.
The movie Lincoln plays heavily in Obama’s favor, and this is why. The message coming out of that movie was that ONE President, bribed, broke laws, ignored the Constitution, because his Congress was too stupid and prejudiced. He did it to abolish slavery…, therefore, we should forgive him. Presidents should always be allowed to break the law when necessary for the greater good.
FDR gets the same pass. We were in a war, he expanded the government into the overgrown elephant we have today. Johnson added the Great Society. You could say the same about George W. Bush, who created the government program we will all come to fear someday, called, Homeland Security, all by himself. With the stroke of a pen.
Historically, Presidents have been expanding their powers whenever they could “exploit” the moment.
How many times have we heard Obama say that if Congress doesn’t get something he wants done..he will do it himself? Too many for my taste.
And he does it— Triples our debt, and makes Czars, and starts wars. His mission is to dismantle the country, the America he does not like, and reshape it in his own Marxist Utopian, and some say European, image.
For instance: He thought up the sequester, which of course cuts the military in two, and then, when it comes times to vote, he ups the ante and says he wants MORE taxes, so that the Republicans will NOT vote for it, and he gets exactly what he wants.
Clever..exploitation.
The office of the Presidency has grown too much power, and because impeachment is so rare, just one President can destroy the country…and we are watching that happen.
Lincoln broke the law, but it was for a good cause. The country is once again divided. Obama breaks the law, but not for some good cause, —NOT to unit and keep us together, but to further push the country into communism.
Lincoln did NOT want communism.
And that’s the dangerous message Lincoln and Spielberg bring: Give him the power. But Obama is NO Lincoln. The very fact that he is being allowed to kill anyone with his drones, makes him a dictator.
Did Steven Spielberg make Lincoln to hint that Obama is there to guide a divided nation into what’s good for them? Or did he just want to point out that all politics are corrupt?
Nobody Knows.
UPDATE: Okay, I was right. Liam Nelsion just introduced Lincoln as a President who has to rule over a gridlocked Congress.(Hint…hint, our congress is gridlocked over sequestration)
Katzenberg , one of the biggest producers in Hollywood, said they make movies to influence the world.
Hollywood works for Obama now. And if you don’t believe that, then if you watched it to the end you saw, for the first time in History,
THE WHITE HOUSE, VIA MICHELLE OBAMA, ANNOUNCING BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR.
(Along with the usual politically correct we must all behave message)
Argo won Movie of the Years…Ben Affleck, the laughing stock of Hollywood, is now the King of the world. Hillary and Kerry will be thrilled….they threw the down and out kid, a bone….
Put that in your Oscar and smoke it
Nobody’s Email: The REAL History of Social Security
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s an email I got a few days ago…it had a few surprises in it for me…it’s worth a quick read. I know, I thought it was very hard when I was a musician to have to pay double SS payments, because I was “self employed.” For people like musicians or Physical Trainers, or independent contractors, it can be brutal.

A History Lesson on Your Social Security Car—1934-1980
With the elections just a little over 3 months away you’ll soon be hearing some Democrats running for political office, warning how the Republicans want to take away the old people’s Social Security.
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this it’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are facts:
Social Security Cards, issued in 1934, and up until the 1980’s expressly stated the number and that card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
When Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program, he promised:
1) That participation in the program would be completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program.
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000 (Double for self-employed.)
3) That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
No longer tax deductible
4)That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other government program.
Under Johnson, another Democrat, the money was moved to the General Fund and spent.
5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore, Democrats, Up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxes.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month–and then finding out that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ for us—you may be interested in the following—
Q: Which political party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q; Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A. The Democratic Party.
Q. Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A. The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
Q. Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A. Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65 began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Then after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take away your Social Security. And the worst part is: uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted.
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
FDR VS George W. Bush
Nobody Remembers Pearl Harbor
Here’s FDR speech, made after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Notice that he mentions the words “invasion” “victory” and “so help us God.”
Now, compare that speech to one given by George W. Bush after 9/11
Big difference in delivery. We’ve become the more “compassionate” nation…..
Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages. .
——.Samuel Johnson
About
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.
