We have the ability to be energy suffcient, but there are dark forces in our government that do not want this.

A new assessment of the Marcellus Shale says the Northeastern U.S. formation may contain 84 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, recoverable natural gas, far more than believed less than a decade ago.

FROM WELFARE STATE TO NANNY STATE: A CLASS SYSTEM OF TAXPAYERS AND TAX CONSUMERS “The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery could not have done, the harshest Jim Crow laws and racism could not have done; namely, break up the black family. That is, today, just slightly over 30 percent of black kids live in two-parent families. Historically, from the 1870s to the 1940s – depending on the city – 75 to 90 percent of black kids lived … Read More

South Africa Falling Into Decay « ELLIOT LAKE News & Views

South Africa Falling Into Decay « ELLIOT LAKE News & Views
Johannesburg was a thriving metropolis of great buildings and the frenzied rush of people going about their affairs much like any other major city in the world. It was such a powerhouse of people, ideas and innovations and the strong Boer mentality over rode all.
Today, Johannesburg appears to be a run down shanty town with decrepit buildings, boarded up windows, filthy garbage riddled streets and squalor everywhere.

The History Of American Liberalism

THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN LIBERALISM




*********************************************************************************************************American American Liberal Intellectualism: Who started this whole silly mess, and why on earth did they do it in the first place?



Yeah, I know: “liberal intellectualism” sounds oxymoronic at best. But, have you ever wondered where, when or why “liberal intellectualism” in America began? Who started all of this nonsense in the first place? Did they have any idea what they were unleashing? What would they think if they came back and observed America’s left wing loons today? Perhaps a short review of the history of liberalism in America will help us understand the persistence, air of superiority, and overall irrational mindset of these strange creatures.



It all began in the Puritan commonwealth of 17th century New England in and around Boston. For the Puritans, the construction of a godly society was the first order of business. The state was not intended to be the enemy of liberty – but it most definitely would become society’s moral guard.



New England government therefore was charged with the creation of a “moral society.” Everything was to be its business: how much did a master pay his apprentices? Who celebrated Christmas? Who was cheating on his or her spouse? The duty of government was to make society live right; universities, churches, newspapers -they would all be the allies of government in the struggle for “good.”



Even after the alliance between church and state in New England was broken up for good, righteous New Englanders worked to make the government a moral force for the American people. By today’s standards, their earl causes look noble enough – the abolition of slavery and voting rights for women, for example.



Over the centuries, New England has changed its theology while remaining loyal to its righteous roots. Calvinist orthodoxy gave way to Unitarianism in the 18th century; Harvard officially became Unitarian in 1803, dropping its belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ. In the 19th century, intellectual New England hedged its bets, backing a range of “isms” from transcendentalism to a new evangelical form of Calvinism.



During the second half of the 20th century, the intellectual mind of New England became more secular than at any time in its history – but nothing has ever changed its deep belief that however defined, morality exists and it is the job of the state to enforce “true morals” and uphold “right thinking.”



“Political correctness” has been part of the “New England way” from the beginning. Victorian New Englanders pioneered feminist ideas – while enforcing rigid standards of political correctness that stifled American literature, restricted its range of subjects, and drove authors like Mark Twain to fits of rage and frustration. In the 19th century, Bostonian literary puritanism was so focused on sex that “Banned in Boston” was a label that helped sell books around the country. Today’s Puritans? They’re after “hate speech” and conservative talk radio. Not much has changed, has it?



There was never a doubt in the New England mind that the government was the chosen instrument of the “righteous” in its never-ending mission to create a “better world.” 17th century New England intellectuals wanted laws passed to force settlers to live close to the town center to ensure better social control. Allowing people to live their lives as they please when the New England mind knows are best? No way. The “righteous” must keep the general population in line, or social chaos will surely ensue. As is the case with the left today, the liberal mind of Victorian New England didn’t just believe this; it knew it. It’s way was the only way.



New Englanders lived in frustration during much of American history. Before the Civil War, the power of the slave-owning South frustrated Boston’s plan for national consolidation; after the war it was the power of the industrial tycoons and the national rush for growth that kept New England’s intellectuals on the sidelines of politics, whining and bloviating about the “decadence” of America.



Those Darn European Immigrants



In the early part of the 20th century, New England got a boost from an unexpected source. Millions of European immigrants who came to the United States after the Civil War brought with them a less individualistic, more socialistic outlook than that of previous generations of non-Bostonian Americans. They looked to the government to defend them against the greed of the robber barons much as liberals today look to trade unions and the government as well to protect them from employers and corporations.



Many non-New England Americans instinctively saw government, and especially the federal government, as a danger to liberty. This was not the view of Boston’s new allies. The social-justice ideas of the immigrants had much in common with traditional New England ideas about the need for a strong moral state. Out of this meeting of the “moral minds” came the wave of 20th century liberalism that reshaped American institutions and ideas for the next 100 years.



Blacks climbed aboard the liberal express beginning with FDR’s New Deal. Progressives seized the Civil Rights movement and programs like affirmative action to use the growing power of the federal government to put America on a “firmer moral footing” by breaking the power of racism once and for all.



The marriage between Boston and immigrant America was not an easy one. It wasn’t until the election of John F. Kennedy – a son of both Harvard and the old Irish political machine – that the two traditions finally fused. However, the bond between the blue bloods of New England and the blue collar workers of the industrial North and Midwest took longer to forge than it ultimately did to begin to dissolve.



Trouble in Liberal Paradise



As the children and grandchildren of northern immigrants moved to the suburbs and sent their kids to college, many of them began to gravitate away from the communal values their forbears brought from Europe, and embraced the more individualistic attitudes of non-New England America. “Reagan Democrats” began to believe that lower taxes might just be a better idea than bloated government programs after all. The Reagan Revolution had begun.



Today, the liberal alliance is mostly comprised of the elitist New England mindset and its heirs, part of the old ethnic world that remains alienated from Americans who have strong beliefs in individualism, most of the country’s Blacks, and a majority of its Hispanics.



For many Boston blue-bloods, Barack Obama’s 2008 election was such a high because it looked as if the days of Camelot might return. Barack Obama does for Blacks and blues what Kennedy did for the Irish and the Boston Brahmins; like JFK he is an outsider who bought into the New England worldview. The high school he attended in Hawaii was founded by New England missionaries; his Ivy League education at Columbia and Harvard Law further steeped him in the “values” of the New England mind. To have a charismatic Black politician sweep the nation with a campaign evoking the communitarian big state vision New England had long favored was both a vindication of core Boston values and a sign that more victories were sure to come.



The 2010 midterms set that optimism back a bit, but many analysts, especially liberal ones, point out that the big question is whether enough Hispanics will join the blue coalition to replace the continuing drift of exurban whites in the other direction. Another potential problem for liberalism is whether a further deterioration of the Democrats’ nanny state fiscal position will make the whole question moot.



If the liberal model falls apart under its own weight rather than being pulled down by its “enemies,” as Obama calls Republicans, where does American Liberalism then go? Into the dustbin of history along with Communism? We should be so fortunate.



In any case, we can’t expect blue thinking to just go away. Boston and its daughter cities of Greater New England (including Seattle, Portland and San Francisco) will be around for a long time to come. A righteous heritage, deeply woven into American life for more than 300 years, will not simply vanish. The New England way may go into political opposition, as it did during so much of the 19th century, but as an elitist force in American life, its anything but finished. Blue may go down, but unfortunately, don’t count it out.

Soros And His Marxist Puppet


Though he is pure vermin, to his credit, he never quits. Soros, the rat, tried very hard to get John Kerry elected. Of course, he failed. But Soros just got more determined. The MFA, which Soros is part of, along with a few other global thieves, lobbied Christopher Cox back in 2007 to make a few changes that would allow for the manipulation of the markets. One was to no longer adhere to the Uptick Rule, and the other was to go to the Market to Market accounting practices. Bottom, line, it became very easy to short sale without any worries of breaking any pesky rules.



With the game now rigged in Soro's favor, 10 trillion in honest, American retirement investments were stolen. Of course, it was right before the 08 election. Soros and his power and mony junkies were then able to get their puppet boy into the Oval Office. Since Barry has zero experience in Soro's field of expertise, he can easily be manipulated. All they have to do is tell him that they can help him "reshape" America in to his Marxict utopia, if they just follow their lead.



Chris Cox was replaced by fellow Marxist Mary Schapiro, and along with yet another Marxist, Timmy Geithner, Soros had two Market to Market supporters in powerful positions. Though there is a new version of the Uptick rule in place, the mighty MFA mafia made it clear that they still could rape American investors at will. On May 6th, 2010 they proved it. Huge drops in the market, which took place, after 2:30pm, which just happens to be after the deadline that allows the market to shut down when events like this take place. It was not bad luck, just a well timed message!



As for the TARP money being repaid to the taxpayer? Not a chance. The feds are placing the stolen, laundered money into a general account, to be used, or as I like to say, "re-stolen."



And all the while, Obama and his comrades a deep into reshaping our country, the one they so hate, into to their Marxist Utopia.



Just do a simple google search of any of Barry's czars, cabinet members, and advisors.

Police Search For Witnesses In Candlestick Shooting

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Police interviewed witnesses and looked for suspects Sunday after two men were shot and wounded following a San Francisco 49ers-Oakland Raiders preseason game, while the mayors of the two cities jointly called for an end to “intimidation” and acts of violence at sporting events.

Anyone who takes their favorite sports team seriously enough to hurt or kill somebody is a flipping idiot in need of a life, and therapy!

Colorado congressman wants ballots printed only in English

Kudos to Senator Mike Coffman for daring to go against the tyranny of political correctness in order to promote common sense. Apparently, he wants to have voter information, ballots, and registrations in English only. Now there’s a novel idea since being able to read and write basic English is required to be an American citizen. But, as usual, the PC nazi’s have to kill off half the rainforest in order to appease the laziness of the minority.



Do you realize how much paper and resources are wasted every year in order to print multilingual instructions and signs? I remember not too long ago, I bought a DIY cabinet. The manufacturers wasted FOUR pages of paper for an instruction that took one page in English because it was multilingual. That’s pathetic. If I move to another country, I would be respectful and intelligent enough to learn to read and write the language. If not, I don’t need to live in that society. The same goes for those who refuse to learn English here in America.

A parasite known as the "brain-eating amoeba" has claimed its second young American victim this month.



Christian Strickland, a 9-year-old from Henrico County in Virginia contracted an infection after visiting a fishing camp in his state. He died of meningitis on August 5.



This week, health department officials confirmed that the deadly amoeba--officially known as "Naegleria fowleri"--was to blame.

Interim Police Chief David Faber presented Sgt. Sean Coady and Officer Doug Julien with the Life Saving Award for an incident that took place in May, in which they saved the life of Sgt. Douglas Godwin of the Oakland University Police Department.




Coady and Julien were participating in a firearms training session at the Detroit Sportsmen Congress in Shelby Township while members of the OUPD were conducting a similar training session at an adjacent range. That afternoon, Godwin suffered a cardiac arrest.

“Speculation that Perry is the Bilderberg group’s ace card was prompted by the current political climate, which can largely be gleaned from the fact that Perry is a longtime, unwavering supporter of the NAFTA Superhighway and related infrastructure projects,” wrote AFP’s Jim Tucker earlier this month. “These pave the way for the Bilderberg-supported North American Union (NAU) proposal that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico.”

Emerson Drake Attempts To Whitewash Black Guy Comments

The other day I posted Emerson Drake’s racially motivated comments about  officer Kari Abbey’s relatives. He described them as “intimidating” “body guards” and “black.” He is now trying to de-”race” his comments by some lame post at the Turlock Journal’s webpage.
http://community.turlockjournal.com/blogs/detail/1161/#comment
Emerson Drake/aka truthseekers states;”At Kari Abbey’s most recent court hearing she arrived with what has become her usual entourage. One side of court room was filled with her husbands (self identified) relatives and the other a variety of Elias family, media, and court observers.
A long time Modesto attorney who was in the courtroom was interviewed after the hearing and his comments and impressions were aired on the show. Those were the comments others have taken out of context and ridiculous inflammatory statements have been made about.
As far as bodyguards are concerned, watch the video provided by the Modesto Bee. It shows a large man who was identified to us as a friend of Abbey’s husband. He leads the way out of the courtroom and down the hall. Also interesting to see is the woman who folds up an aluminium walker she “needed” on the way in but now carries to use to ward people off.
But don’t take my word for it see for yourself. Their exit is in the first few seconds of the video. Then maybe you’ll wonder why some here are pushing personal agendas when they know so very little about what’s going on. “
Emerson went ballistic when I posted his race baiting words. His buddy Carmen Sabatino did not disagree with what he said. I guess when a guy like Emerson, who was arrested by LE for having an illegal pot grow in a residential neighborhood, has revenge on his min 24/7, nothing is off limits; even attacking people’s family members because of the color of their skin is not off-limits.
