God has been very good to America. I pray with all my heart He continues to. Frankly, the whole democratic movement scares me.
I believe He is coming very soon.
God have mercy on us all. -

Yes, I ditto what Carmen Hawes said regarding the suspicions of Barry Sitoro's grandmother, birth documents, etc. Is there hanky panky and illegal stuff going on here? Was there alterations of documents? I wonder how much cover up is taking place?

Governor Huckabee:
I wished you would have read my E-mails along with the attachments from either www.americamustknow.com or www.worldnetdaily.com. It clearly explained why there is reasonable doubt to believe that now-President Barack Obama is not, was not, and has not ever been eligible to hold the Office of the Presidency.
If you did read the E-mails and attachments, I wished you would have acted upon them and joined forces with Dr. Alan Keyes (another 2008 Presidential candidate) and made sure that the proper documentation was presented to prove that then-Senator Barack Obama was playing "fair ball" by following our U.S. Constitution's most basic premise of being "a natural born citizen."
I am not that much of a Senator John McCain fan for a variety of reasons, but when asked about his eligibility, he willingly presented the facts...the truth...about his birth place origin. Despite being born in the Panama Canal, he is a natural born citizen because his father was serving military duty and his mother was with her husband at the time of their son's birth. Acceptable...."a natural born citizen!" He also willingly presented his past and present medical health records, which,of course, the media used his past health problems (now resolved) against him horrifically. Barack Obama, on the other hand, hired three law firms....not three lawyers....but three law firms...to keep the truth from being presented....and no one has stopped him yet.
Governor Huckabee, I prayed for you to run for president, but you have let me down. Not because you gave it your absolute very best
during your campaign, but, unfortunately, didn't win...but because you and the G.O.P. leaders and others did not make the DNC force Barack Obama to answer the key question: Where's the REAL documentation proving your eligiblity.Now, where does our country go from here?! Battle at all fronts constantly for the next four years (or more) because of his extreme leftist liberalism? Wear ourselves out?!
This all could have (and should have) been prevented IF ONLY people of all walks of life would have joined forces and PROTECTED OUR CONSTITUTION!!!
It is not racist; it is AMERICAN!!!

Is anyone surprised about this new campaign. I believe the current crisis is bad but not as bad as he is leading us to believe. He wants to have time to get us out and by his own words he says it will tke time. I live outside of Columbus and I don't see the problems. People are still shopping and eating out. January is always a bad month, since it is very cold here. Please look on the Whitehouse webpage and look at his civil rights agenda. It will hurt your heart. Remake America. Not this way. Sometimes we need to look back and go back to the values of our forefathers. Mike help us. You may be our only hope.

So, are we to believe that, like Lincoln, he won't use the Presidency to create more government? He stated his belief in the founding fathers and thier ideas. They are probably already ashamed of what we have now. We DO NOT need a "king",(except Christ that is), and if I remember right, the United Soviet SOCIALIST Republic failed. We need to counteract this movement of his and SOON!

I "ditto" many of the concerns that I have read about BO, including his birthplace. One concern that I have is in regards to his grandmother's death on election day morning. Maybe I am a little suspicious, but the birthplace issue, Barak's visit to his grandmother just prior to her death without Michelle and his kids, his grandmother's election day death, and having no funeral or memorial service for her was all very suspicious to me. I have read that she had cancer and was getting up in years. But even a sick, elderly person can die from unnatural causes. In my opinion, if Barak was born in Kenya, his grandmother would be one few people who would be aware of that. With the rising poll numbers before the election... it was becoming clear that he would probably win the election. Then his grandmother dies on election day! If BO was born in Kenya, his grandmother would have been a problem since she could reveal his Kenya bithplace .... even inadvertantly. I find all the above coincidences too much for my logical mind. The word "euthanasia" comes to mind. I know I am not the only one who thought of this... as I have spoken to others who were thinking the same thing. I also find it interesting that BO did not mention his white grandmother and grandfather or his white mother in his address to the nation on Jan. 20th. These people "raised" him! Yet, he only mentioned his father who, by the way, basically abandoned him. Lastly, I would like to correct the whole nation. BO is not Black. He is Black and White. To call him Black is totally denoucing his White heritage not to mention it makes him look like he is ashamed of being bi-racial. What kind of message does that send to the bi-racial children in this country? I have nieces and nephews who are bi-racial and they area very offended by his rejection of his inter-racial heritage by calling himself "Black" only.

Thank you Gov. Huckabee for providing leadership that we can rally around. And a forum from which we can get things done.
Face it, folks. Americans have been duped by most of our political leaders and business leaders and members of the media. They developed and implemented the system that got us in the mess we are in today. That allowed the Democrats to buy the hearts and minds of enough people to take control.
We must start now, working within the framework that is set up today ... to rebuild the political and economic system of tomorrow. That system must be constructed on the solid ground of moral values and personal responsibility. And must include a tax system that does not breed corruption and division because of it's inherent unfairness.
Thank you for this opportunity to be among the Americans who are working towards the unlimited promise and potential that is our great great country.
God bless and guide us all.

It seems to be coming from a lot of directions. If you really listen closely you can still pick things out. When asked about what he thought about Barack O's inauguration and the current climate of events Kid Rock mentioned something about Detroit where he is from and said something to the effect that the economy is in bad shape especially in Detroit and someone really needs to get in there and resolve the situation between the union workers and the owners of the car companys. It just goes to show you of a lack of knowledge about the issues. The problem right now in Detroit is; people cannot expect the same luxurys now in this global economy. When floor sweepers are still making $80K/yr. That's the problem... I have worked on the west coast of Michigan spitting out the same bumpers that go on the same cars as Detroit only making $8.50/hr. (no benefits) and now laidoff. Somehow the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Unions that expect to maintain the same wages in this world today are going to lose in the long run. We all will. I don't want a bailout, I WANT A JOB...

The ad is exactly what I would expect from a socialist coming to power. His concern is not for America or its people, but rather "for this movement." American stands on the threshold of total collapse and they certainly have picked the appropriate person to continue that downward spiral. His message and the new "movement" really isn't that unique. Most Americans have a comparable "movement" every day!

Dear M. Huckabee
Yes Pres. Obama was stressing change and that is exactly what America voted for.Namely to stop the criminal break down (nothing down home loans)of our financial system,Stop the war in Iraq and Afghistan brought about through deception and lies,no weapons of mass destruction were ever proven. Mossad agents had their cameras on the world trade center before the tragety unfolded and were dancing in delight as the Towers burned.Change immigration practices, stop illegals and enforce immigration laws.
As secetary of state Madam Allbright said,"most americans wouldn`t believe ,Israeal is running this country".Americans want an America for the people by the people.Pres. Obama may hopefully get us out of the Middle East war but will likely lead us in a unfortunate socilaist direction.
Mr. M. Huckaybee if you had recieved 160 million dollars (Obama`s campain gift) perhaps you would be our president and I would be very happy! Harold Hartsock -

This tape is like driving a bus. There are always people behind you that know better than you do how the bus should be driven. Now, none of them have ever driven a bus, nor have they had to get a license to do so. They also don't have years of driving experience behind their belts nor knowledge of safety regulations that are required or the expertise required to physically keep the bus moving, such as checking moving parts, fluids, etc.
Mr. Obama, without any knowledge or experience, takes it upon himself to criticize those in the driver's seat of our nation without having the tools nor experience to be in a position to make such criticism. There is always at least one, who talks louder than the others, presumes he knows all about it and leads others to follow. It remains to be seen that Mr. Obama has the guts, grit, or fortitude, "to do the right thing".

Several things stand out about OB but I will only mention 4
1. Look at Obama's associations. All radical, leftist, Socialists, Communists, Fascist. That's where he is going to take our country.
2. Look at his community organization abilities. He is going to continue to mobilize the ignorant, political correct, leftist and all who are trusting of him to work to keep him and his agenda moving ahead.
3. Look at the Republican party. There is no fight left in them. They are laying down to this man and his power structure. Political correctness and toleration are the virtues of the day.
4. The days of a 2 party system is over. We are moving towards globalism at warp speed. The insiders have been working on this for years and we are almost there. This economic crisis and perhaps another crisis is all it will take for America to relinquish her sovereignty and embrace a one world government and a man who will lead them. Look at how Obama has been worshipped. It's going to happen. My neighbors who are Christians voted for this Obama because they bought the line that he is going to save their pocket book. Multiply that by thousands who did the same thing. America is going down as God has stated in His word. A one world government is on the horizon and nothing can stop it as nothing can stop the fulfillment of God's word. Our most important job and calling as Christians is to get the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ out with all our might and all or strength and all of our finances. Praying that God who called us by His grace will help us to continue until He comes. Mike I hope you have more opportunity to declare the truth on your new program and uplift our only hope for this world our Lord Jesus Christ.
God Bless you

No, Obama's campaign is not over by any means and it will not be over during his next four years. I believe Obama suceeded through marketing/grassroots and he just might suceed again after his first term.
Obama and his campaign staff has accomplished excellent marketing skills, thus sold himself to the American people. In addition to all his web sites, and organizations like moveon. org he also has some very slick marketing skills and this is after he had been nominated. For instance his campaign staff suceeded in getting folks to sign up through their cell phones in order to be the first to know of his VP pick as they would then text you. In doing that alone he created a huge data base. Once they had your cell phone number they would then text you asking for donations and asking you to volunteer. This was constant as I know someone who signed up.
Here is another example. They throw house parties for Obama supporters as I was invited to one right in my own town. When invited I decided I would go just to check it out and see exactly what they were doing, I was thinking maybe I could get a few tips. At the last minute I found out I would be asked to sign petitions and also they would take pictures of the group and individuals and you had to give your name, address and phone number, this was to be sent to moveon.org. Learning this it stoped me in my tracks from attending. There was no way they were getting my phone number, address or picture for that matter and I certainly was not going to sign anything.
The answer for the republicans in my opinion is to Market, Market, Market, Sell, Sell, Sell in many ways. I do not feel that John McCain did that and I even had to wonder at times if he even wanted to be President, he didn't seem to have any fight left in him.
In my opinion The Fair Tax is a major issue and it has to be taught to the American people as many do not understand it. I know of FairTax.org but perhaps house parties would be one of the ways in educating the American people.
It all truly does start with the grassroots and I for one have signed up to volunteer for Gov. Huckabee, we all have to get to work.

It appears that all the acumulated wealth of Mr. Obama has led his way forward to a path that is very frightening! There are some Congressmen & Woman who do need to see and be "Changed" but I do not feel that too many of America's foundations and principals need all the change that's being called for. I believe that we need to move forward in a very Careful and well thought out way. But who listens to The Baby "Boomer" people like me? After all aren't we being blamed for everything...what a Joke !

We have a huge mountain to climb to stem the tide President Obama has created. The Republican Party must come to its' senses and renew its' commitment to serving the conservative agenda. I look forward to banding together with other volunteers along with Gov. Mike Huckabee, as I feel this is a trustworthy movement. It is hard to believe that America has been taken down such a frightening path in the blink of an eye. We must not let it be said that we allowed our country to be destroyed by the complacency of her own people. Republican congressmen/women, Senators and governors must show us they are with us and help lead us to a brighter future. We have an undaunting challenge before us, but I still have faith that we can find the courage and resources to win. Thank you, Gov. Mike Huckabee for your leadership and commitment. You are giving us a forum by which we can not just stand by, but take action.

I have watched throughout this election campaign, as many of our Republican Party members jumped ship, disregard our conserative values and embraced the lies and illogical promises of one of the most controverals, liberal politicans in the Democratic Party's history. A man who stands opposed to almost every conservative value in this nation.
And, there are those, whom I personally know, work with and worship with, who made the politically fatal decision not to vote at all in this past election. The common excuse, John McCain isn't worth voting for, he can't identify with the people. Some of them, the same folks who said they were for him in the primaries. Unbelieveable!
I can only stand with my hands on my head and shout, Why? What kind of reason is that not to exercise your American right to vote for the kind of person who will run this country? What justification is that to turn against your own conservative values and vote for someone who doesn't even know what the word conserative means?
Now, admittedly, I must agree with the view that Sen. McCain was most likely a less than ideal choice to represent the Republican Party as our Presidential Candidate, but that's no reason to vote against your own values, or not to vote at all. It was the Republican Party who voted and selected him, (personally I voted for Mike) in the Presidental election because he shared far more of my conserative values that Mr. Obama.
By the very fact that so many Republicans gave in to liberal propaganda, became discouraged with the government and became complacent, we now have a liberal Democrat running this country. The Republican people have allowed change to come to the Whitehouse true enough. I hope and pray that the change will be for the better, but that doesn't appear to be what's going to happen, based on what's been said and proven to be true about Barrack Obama. The change I fear is coming is going to be with conservatives values in mind. I believe that we'll see an increase of abortions, taxes, unfairness and ungodliness. I believe we'll see public healthcare come about that will equal public housing in all it's shortcomings.
Oh, we'll see change alright and I hope the changes we see come about will be enough to give the Republican Party a taste of what they alone have allowed to happen when they refuse to get involved or fall for the ol' liberal lies tricks.
There is no one who hopes more than I, that I am just spouting hot air, proven to be totally wrong and will be made to eat my words, than ME. I will gladly eat everything ill I've ever said with no salt and pepper, if President Obama proves me wrong. I truly want him to do that.
You may say, "Well it's to late to worry about that now, so quit squaking". That may be true for this election, but by thunder that doesn't mean it has to be like that in the next if we'll unite as conserative people who don't embrace the liberal anything goes perspective. Already, there are those who supported President Obama who are having regrets and he hasn't even begun to start implimenting his agenda.
"He who does not examine the error of his ways and fails to learn from the mistakes he's made today, will most assuredly make the same ones again in the near future"

Hello Gov. Huckabee!
I am sickened by todays events! I can't help it. I did NOT/could NOT watch this "historic" event!
I am also disgusted by the Republican party's inability to get it together. How many conservatives feel like we were rear-ended in this election and with the BAILOUTS? The fact that this enormous amount of money has done little to resolve this economic meltdown and they want to throw billions more at the problem. This is a tough wake up call for us as a party of conservatives. I would love to know the plan to get this socialist out of office before he destroys the very fiber of this country.
I want to know why the question about Obama's birth place is still swirling? Why have we not heard about it one way or another? Was he born in Kenya or not? As someone above posted, is he secretly trying to change the law before we find out the truth? Who is in charge of certifying this information? I hear its pretty darn difficult to collect your first Social Security check with all the checks and balances involved. To my way of thinking, with national security being such a priority this verification should be very absolute with no exceptions!
And as I remember it, God does let bad things happen to good people. It happens everyday. Great worldly powers rise and fall. Maybe our power as a nation is fading and we are sinking into the next step, Socialism. Populations of people become complacent to what they feel is an inalienable right and allow it to slip away. They have no real understanding of what it means to be FREE especially the respondsibilites of each of us. I realize free handouts are the rage right now.... and they help get the votes. Is that what it takes to get elected? I suppose a person with little or nothing $200.00 can be a lot of money but its not going to be that significant for taxpayers. Can we rebound from this assault on our freedoms?
I pledge to get involved to make a difference. And I want my representatives to hear my concerns and start working for me. We need to know who is voting for what and make it a matter of record for all to see. Put their record up and lets analyze every vote they make. Lets get organized and informed and vote like we know what's going on because it matters to all of us.

Aaaaa, Thomas
01/21/2009 02:26 AM
I think that Jonah Goldberg said it.
In his Philadelphia speech kicking off his inauguration weekend train ride to Washington, Barack Obama proclaimed "What is required is a new declaration of independence, not just in our nation, but in our own lives - from ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry - an appeal not to our easy instincts but to our better angels."
Few sentences give us a better sense of Barack Obama's – dare I say – ideology.
Look at the things then-President-elect Obama lumps with the i-word: small-thinking, prejudice, bigotry. It certainly sounds like Obama thinks ideology is not only bad, but really bad. This is hardly the first time he's made it clear that he thinks ideology is backward and undesirable. Remember his famous comment that small town folks who bitterly cling to their guns and religion because of the lack of jobs and other progressive economic policies? The press downplayed the rest of the quote. He went on to say that the same people might also cling to "antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
In other words, ideology is something people who don't know better, who can't tell right from wrong, use to explain the world. Or, even simpler: Ideologues are people who disagree with Barack Obama.
In remarks shortly before the inauguration, Obama cast himself as an open-minded pragmatist. He said that he's receptive to new ideas wherever they come from, Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal. But he also insisted that the one thing we all know is: "only government" can fix the mess we're in. Never mind that this, too, is an ideological position. Indeed, Obama holds any number of ideological positions, on abortion he's to the left of NARAL; he believes everyone is better off when we "spread the wealth around."
Now, I disagree with many of Obama's positions -- but not because they are ideological. There's nothing wrong with ideological positions. Heck why is "anti-trade sentiment" an ideological position but pro-trade sentiment not? For the record, I'm very, very pro-trade. But I'm not ashamed to admit mine is an ideological position. Ideology is simply a collection of principles, a checklist of aims and priorities we hold up to important questions. "Does this protect our liberties?" is an ideological question, and a good one. I'm not embarrassed to ask it.
But this misses the point. Obama is laying down a rhetorical perimeter around his administration: Any criticism that questions his assumptions will be deemed "ideological" and, hence, illegitimate. Everything he does will be cast as pragmatic problem solving; every objection will be dismissed as the rants and gripes of dogmatists and ideologues.
This is a very old tactic. Woodrow Wilson, the first PhD president, insisted that his policies were rooted in the immutable laws of science and anyone who objected was a boob, a rube or, sometimes, a traitor. FDR promised that he, too, was a "pragmatist" who would take good ideas from his supposedly dispassionate Brain Trust. The New Deal itself was sold to the American people as a "post-ideological" enterprise. Whatever the merits of the New Deal, few people today looking back at it think of it as an ideology free effort. It's worth noting that this was precisely the argument laid out by fascist movements across Europe, who proclaimed themselves to be "beyond ideology" and "neither right nor left."
John F. Kennedy unveiled precisely the same argument. Don't worry your pretty little heads, Americans, we have the best and brightest here and they know what to do, Kennedy told Americans. "Most of the problems ... that we now face, are technical problems, are administrative problems," Kennedy explained, and these problems should be taken out of the give-and-take of politics and left to the experts. Even Michael Dukakis tried to play this card, arguing in his Democratic acceptance speech in 1988 that the issue of the election was "competence, not ideology."
What's offensive about this argument is not only that it assumes anyone who disagrees with liberal conventional wisdom is somehow unhinged from reality, but that liberals themselves have a monopoly on commonsense.
But that doesn't mean it isn't effective. Americans like to think they're pragmatists. They've been taught for years that being ideological is bad. Worse, mainstream journalists are convinced they're objective and dispassionate (stop laughing). This post-partisan rhetoric is exactly what they love to hear because it confirms all of their biases. That's why the national press loves politicians like Michael Bloomberg and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Their nominal Republicans who define their "post-partisanship" as signing onto every liberal assumption about the role of the state.
The size and cost of government will expand enormously over the next 12 to 18 months. If you have a problem with that don't be surprised when you're called an "ideologue."
May we all work constantly for the good of our constitution and our fellow Americans.
Like Mike has said "Do the right thing". -

Take heart people! There is NO authority but that established by God. Remember Nebuchadnezzar? God put him there for a reason (judgment, remember). Isn't it time to look at what we've been idolizing? Republicans have been in power for 8 years, and we can get spoiled to worldly power. If you are scared, take a look at who you are tethered to. Are you trusting in God? He is FAITHFUL! If you are trusting in the power of office, then yes, you will be scared. Just like I was until I read what God says in his word. God established kings and He deposes them. Period. Now is not the time to get discouraged or cynical (a cynic has already accepted defeat). Jesus Christ is victorious and God has a plan. The church needs to show the glory of God by loving each other and loving our enemies.
Mike, you are doing a great job and your gracious manner is a credit to our Lord.

Sounds like he's making an excuse if he fails. He will be blaming it on us, the American people, because we didn't "help". We elect people into office to do that job for us because we're busy with our own lives, work, school, family, etc. I wish I had enough time to run a country and get paid what the people get paid to do it, but I'm not intelligent enough to do something like that. I am smart enough to know that I think we're in trouble, I did not vote for him, but I sure hope he can pull it off.

What we, Republicans, can do to allay the fears of the populace regarding the "Stimulus Plan" is to request OBAMA CAMPAIGN to do the following:
a) to show the average (five year average during the last five years) the contribution of each sector of the economy to the Gross National Product in percentage; andb) the percentage distribution of the Stimulus Plan allocated to each sector of the economy.
The above will show at least indicative relative figures of what the tax payers" money will go.
We are now moving towards a centrally planned economy; hence, the present administration should at least show the distribution of the Stimulus Funds to the overall economy on a sectoral basis. This is what all the centrally planned economies do at the beginning of the implementation of their economic development plans.

We are well avare of the danger of President Obamas ultra liberal agenda. This coupled with a democratic senate and congress is of deep concern to millions of Christians and Jews around our nation. I find it extremely interesting that the same people that voted for Barack Obama voted against Prop 8 that would have legalized gay marriage in California. This shows us just how great the deception to elect Obama really was. I find it amazing that people can say " I am a Christian " out of one side of their mouth and then say " abortion is perfectly ok " out of the other side of their mouth. These 2 views are absolutely contrary to one another.
I believe if people would ask themselves, what would Jesus say about this issue, they would realize that abortion is in fact nothing less then the murder of helpless human beings. Jesus did say " thou shalt not kill " which is one of the ten commandments.

I will keep him, his family, our Nation, and all elected officials in my prayers. I pray God will guide them to make the right decisions on every issue coming across their desks. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, and Savior,
Amen -

I WILL PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT BUT MOSTLY FOR OUR COUNTRY. I WILL ALWAYS BE AGAINST ABORTION AND MOST OF WHAT HE STANDS FOR. MAYBE, IF OBAMA WILL LET HIM, GOD WILL TAKE HIS HAND AND GUIDE HIM TO DO GOOD FOR ALL PEOPLE. I WILL SIT AND WAIT TILL THE ELECTIONS IN 2002 AND HOPE AND PRAY THAT MIKE HUCKABEE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT AND THAT THOSE AFTER HIM WILL SEE WHAT A REAL GOOD PRESIDENT WAS LIKE.

We are witnessing the death of America ..as we know it.
It was a sad sight seeing President Bush leaving for Texas!
God Bless this country and protect it and the people from the agenda of this new president. -

The arrogance and hypocrisy of some is deafening. To be ungracious to the sitting president, and slobber and fall before the next one is an embarassing and pathetic scene. People are in for a rude awakening when they learn Obama is a man, a human with faults and failures. He is also not a black man, as he has a white mother, and other family members not black. We would all to well to remember, Pride comes before a fall, and we reap what we sow.

On election day 2008 I came home from the polls and wrote down words for a Parody of the song "Hey There Delialah", which my husband and I played sang and recorded. We both took part in the writing. Of course it is called "Hey There Obama", and there are several others on youtube with the same name. It also contains a slide show. I have just signed up to be a Volunteer on the huck pac volunteer team, and will do what I can, with the resources I have. I want Mr. Huckabee to know that our check will follow. Here is the link to the song. http://www.youtube.comwatch?v=Yzz45iMLdhI

I too have to ask why so many of the Republicans are saying they want Obama to succeed. Succeed at what? He talks like a socialist, is that what they want him to succeed at? Succeed at taking away the free speech of their opposition by the Fairness Doctrine? Taking away talk radio or cable news like Fox, that doesn't lean so far left that they have tingling up their legs!!
It's time for our leaders to stand up and start talking about what conservative values are. What fiscal responsibility is and what is the "pro-growth stand of conservatives - Republicans or Independent! What would be different if we did have a smaller government, lower taxes and more self governing at local and state level, instead of having DC tell us!
Our leaders need to help us out by using the media available to them, or find ones that would, and get heard!! LOUDLY!!
I take the responsibility of standing up for conservative causes...but I am tired of looking for the "Conservative &/or Republican leaders to start doing their part!!"
My party disappoints me far more than Obama does. We knew what he stood for since his convention speech in 2004....time to hear what our leadership truly stands for NOW! If they are supporting Obama, we need to stop supporting them!! -

Personally I am afraid of the next four years knowing that Obama is for Gay Marriage and Obortion, this is against what the Bible tells us. I did not vote for Obama because of his policies.

Hi! I sent Mike Huckabee an e-mail a while back warning him of Mr. Obama's plan. I have posted on Gretawire.com also. I am extremely disturbed for America. It's truly time to get serious about defending our nation's foundation. We must, right now, this very second, rally as ONE VOICE UNIFIED, as the Republican Conservative Movement, just as Lincoln did. If we really believe in America's worth, her greatness, her precious freedoms, then, we will get busy!!! There's no time to waste! We must also rally at the grassroots level, joining shield to shield, if we hope to survive this onslaught of solcialistic, humanistic, even religious deception, called a "movement". What exactly does Barack Obama plan to "change", with the help of "common people", anyway? Last time I checked, the President has his plate overflowing just looking after the Nation's overall security, and wellbeing. Please, all who read this, be warned, we must not make excuses, or be deceived. America's precious foundation called freedom is under assault once more, is she worth defending? I am joining what I'm calling the "Republican Conservative Movement", now all we need is a strong, unrelenting leader to head it up. If you begin to feel discouraged, just remember, there are still at least 58 million of us, hey, enough for an Army of ONE!!!

Mr Obama, and Biden in particular, have neither a clue nor the desire to stop the country from going downhill on well greased, liberal democrat skids. Their nests have been feathered for life, along with the Senate and Congress, and the liberal, left wing desire is to take from those who do and give to those who won't in order to keep getting re-elected. They've fed the clueless hog wash, they in turn have become bloated on it, and now we have what will probably be the most incompetent government since Carter. And Obama wants to contine to brainwash the country to enforce his idea of "change" and transform this country from a semi-socialist into a full blown socialist state. Voting laws should be changed to allow ONLY those who pay taxes to vote. That has a snowball's chance in hell of ever happening. God help the American taxpayer, and God Bless America.

I have read all 92 comments posted so far, which include a comment I made last night.
If there is a problem with Obama's birth certificate, it must not be that big of a deal, since the Republican Party or Republican National Committee never publicly challenged Obama's qualifications. Fact, an American Woman gave birth to Obama.
I agree with 25 percent of you. We the people need to give President Obama the respect he deserves. I believe he will take his oath of office seriously. He also has the attention of millions of people who will be paying closer attention to government and their representatives.
The people fought to over throw the Comprehensive Immigration Bill (Amnesty). The people could do the same to replace Federal Income Tax (I.R.S) with the Fair Tax (tax on what you spend not on what you earn H.R.25 and S.1025).
In 2006, Democrats became the majority in both the House, Senate and Democrats were assigned chairmanships of the most important committees. Congress did such a good job (lowest rating ever). With such a low rating the Democrats managed even more of a majority in 2008 elections. Go figure.
Most of the bills voted on are either Democratic or Republican created, where just about none are agreed on. Where are the bills created by the people (who Congress is supposedly representative of)?
Our country needs hope and change. Our governments need to enforce the laws / rules / policies and the people need to work and play within those boundaries / safety barriers.
I am real tired of the politics where votes are traded for favors, earmarks or pork. I believe in term limits.
I see the importance of once being a community organizer, case in point President Obama (a real mustanger).
Hopefully the Republican Party and Republican National Committee are learning some valuable lessons. I like and probably most of the people would like Mike Huckabee's idea of Vertical politics.

I still don't hear any details about his action plan... but sure do know who he has been hanging out with for the past 20+ years. What I perceive he stands for is scary.

Personally, I'm praying for the Obama's and this great country of ours.
I didn't vote for the man, I wrote in Mike Huckabee, but I do respect the office, and I believe God's word when we are called to pray for our leaders. I believe His word also, when it says that no one is in authority except by His will. Our country is in trouble, it has been for a long time, because for the most part, people have turned away from God. -

Marlene Rose, you bring up a very important point. This is just another thing about OB that we are not to talk about. if this were about a Republican, it would on the liberal media for weeks. He is not a natural born American citizen. You may find more about the crimes of Obama at WWW.OBAMACRIMES.COM
I would hope that our elected officials would visit this site, but this is just wishful thinking

Although it's still not too late, Obama still is to be judged by the SCOTUS to establish his citizenship status...... this effort cannot be abandoned. The Republican Party members let us down during the campaign by not speaking out forcefully to demand that these issues be addressed.... it seems that they were easily intimidated by the MSM for not being politically correct. Now, we are at the mercy of the DNC and the group of puppeteers that are handling "0". They will force (with the enablers in Congress) legislation to suppress our rights and cancel our freedoms such as abortion (FOCA), infanticide, taxes, 2nd Amendment, 22nd Amendment, Fairness Doctrine and freedom of speech, and everything else in between. We have to push our senators and representatives to the limit and ensure that NOTHING gets passed and EVERYTHING gets stalled in Congress. Socialism is just the beginning of total, centralized governmental control and the path to a One World Order where the UN will call the shots.

I am a naturalized citizen from a communistic European country. I came with my family to the United States of America, hoping to live in a FREE country. I am however troubled with the recent developments, which in my opinion could lead us to CHANGE the United States of America into a socialistic and perhaps at a later date into a communistic country. A country which I escaped from with only $5.00 in order to better my family's and my life in the United States of America. We heard so much from president ellect OBAMA of his visioned CHANGE, regretfully he did never explained this CHANGE, if it would be for the betterment or for the downfall of the United States and it's citizens. Only time will tell!
