		<description>&quot;I don&#039;t want to kill him. I want him in jail. You understand? In jail. In a cell. Behind bars. Locked, stopped, strapped--and alive. He&#039;ll get up when they tell him to. He&#039;ll eat what they give him. He&#039;ll move when he&#039;s told to move and stop when he&#039;s told. He&#039;ll walk to the jute mill, when he&#039;s told, and he&#039;ll work as he&#039;s told. They&#039;ll push him, if he doesn&#039;t move fast enough, and they&#039;ll slap his face when they feel like it, and they&#039;ll beat him with rubber hose if he doesn&#039;t obey. And he&#039;ll obey. He&#039;ll take orders. He&#039;ll take orders!&quot;

...I can hardly resist the parallel of Obama to Potter’s nemesis Lord Voldemort – I know of no better example of an over-the-top power-lusting villain in literature who can compare to the over-the-top power-lusting man now occupying the White House. The closest example is Ellsworth Toohey in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead – but more on that shortly...

&quot;Watch the pincer movement. If you&#039;re sick of one version, we push you into the other. We get you coming and going. We&#039;ve closed the doors. We&#039;ve fixed the coin. Heads--collectivism, and tails--collectivism. Fight the doctrine which slaughters the individual with a doctrine which slaughters the individual. Give up your soul to a council--or give it up to a leader. But give it up, give it up, give it up. My technique, Peter. Offer poison as food and poison as antidote. Go fancy on the trimmings, but hang on to the main objective. Give the fools a choice, let them have their fun--but don&#039;t forget the only purpose you have to accomplish. Kill the individual. Kill man&#039;s soul. The rest will follow automatically. Observe the state of the world as of the present moment. Do you still think I&#039;m crazy, Peter?&quot; ...

		<description>At last, an article that is speaking the truth! Of course this is all intentional, one has only to listen to Obama&#039;s words and understand Socialism, Communism and the  effect these ideologies had on Obama. The inherent decency in people would not allow them to entertain the idea that their President would do such harmful things to their country on purpose. The time has come that they do . . it is also time that people begin thinking of the I word, especially those who served in the military and took an oath to protect the Constitution and the country from enemies, foreign and domestic. I see domestic enemies here, does anyone else?</description>

		<description>The O is definitely trying to destroy this nation and would love nothing better than to rule the world. Go to youtube.com and type in &quot;Is Obama the anti-Christ&quot; and watch some of the videos, especially &quot;Obama the One&quot; and the lottery video. It will give you cold shivers to watch some of them. Then do a youtube.com search, &quot;How Obama got Elected&quot; and watch a few of the well-researched videos. Then pray . . . without ceasing.</description>

		<description>P.S.S I changed my mind, for in todays paradigm mentality the wages of secular sin is, of course, &lt;i&gt;debt&lt;/i&gt;. Because that&#039;s what we&#039;ll all end up in as we try to pay off &lt;i&gt;theirs, The well fed government.&lt;/i&gt;

So no more talk of taking someone out, (unless of course you&#039;re in Oakland, and the rules go out the window, and chaosa rules, in the name of &quot;racism&quot; and &quot;anything goes&quot;). this is a kinder and gentler administration, &lt;i&gt;so everybody sing along:&lt;/i&gt; &quot;and this is a kinder and gentler administration and &quot;anything goes&quot;. &quot;this is a kinder and gentler administration, Kumbaya&quot;...(one more time w/ &#039;chaos rules&#039; this time.)</description>

		<description>war in Iraq will cost $3T.  

Hope you voted for that too.

There certainly was and is a lot of unregulated greed in banks and investment houses.  Thank all of Congregress for that, not just the Dems or Pubs.
Term limits for every elected and appointed gov&#039;t official at the Fed and State level.  No exceptions.  Even the Soupreme Court.
Mandatory retirement at 65 for the same group.  They can go teach if they still desire to be part of it.
No elected or appointed officials with a personal net worth or available net worth of more than $10M.</description>
