WAKING THE SLEEPING GIANT

by Paul E. Vallely, ©2011

The attack on Pearl Harbor began with a Japanese torpedo which hit the USS Oklahoma

(Jul. 27, 2011) — Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is portrayed at the very end of the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora!, and in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor, as saying after his attack on Pearl Harbor, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”  The quotation was abbreviated in the film Pearl Harbor (2001), where it merely read, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.”

Our first article in this series was to create an alert for the American people that we must awake from our slumber and re-establish the Republic “for which it stands” before it is too late.

Now we must demand Patriots and Veterans (the backbone of America) stand up and sound a Paul Revere call to all people in your towns and communities that America is in serious jeopardy of being destroyed before our very eyes. The real threats to our country must be realized by all and action taken before unrecoverable damage occurs.

We are calling up the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), the American Legion, Rolling Thunder/Bikers, NASCAR crews/fans, all the Armed Forces organizations, members of the NRA, Gun Owners associations, Horsemen and horsewomen across the country and all other Patriots to write letters to editors, call radio talk shows, announce on blogs, alert church leaders, organize weekly demonstrations, march in Washington, DC and your State Capitols. It is time for the trumpets and bugles to wake the Sleeping giant before it is too late. Whatever it takes to get the job done  as the longevity of America and the Founding Fathers is in jeopardy.

We listen to the unfolding budget/debt issues, more negative news each and every morning and the continuing ineptness so clearly on display by our elected and appointed leaders. At once, while struck with horror, I now feel strangely disconnected from the passions it stirs in me. I walk the river near my home with my dog into the sunshine of Montana and I want, and expect something to be occurring in this country that will awake America today. Even here in the beautiful and rugged mountains of western Montana people are hiking, golfing, strolling, smiling and acting as if nothing of any momentous consequence is occurring in or outside the United States. Our belief in our safety and security is being shattered, yet strangely, people seem to continue as if there is nothing to worry about too deeply.

Personally, I do not believe in turning the other cheek. Yet, I do not want to become what I so despise – a fanatic driven by virulence and hatred as to do violence. I do not sanction any kind of fanaticism, because fanaticism feeds on itself and is driven by blind emotion. It demands unquestioning obedience and intolerance, rather than acceptance of diverse and genuine viewpoints. However, I do not believe in passivity either. Nothing goes away until you are willing to take a stand that says: “you may not cross this line because if you do, this will be the consequence.” Well, I am convinced that an unacceptable line has been crossed. You hurt my people, you hurt my country – you hurt me.

I do not excuse dishonesty, corruptness, and behavior by members of Congress and the White House. Behavior counts, character counts! If a child of mine is threatened, I become a lion. If my people are threatened I feel a personal sense of violation that I need to react to in much the same way. If my country is threatened, my patriotism soars to its highest level, and my blood boils. Punishment for this transgression of my person and my country’s boundaries and way-of-life is essential; it is in my opinion, mandatory as a citizen. Instead of our current dissolution and chaos, we must reunite and roar like the lion we are, the father who is reacting to a wrong done to his child.

Enough politicking and talk. Action is crucial.

The Patriots Union and Veteran Defenders of America need you and demand from our hearts that Patriots and Veterans join us now. We must counter the threats as we see them today.  This is a national threat assessment that you will not see anywhere but here. Yet, it is the most honest assessment of the many threats to American freedom, liberty and prosperity today.

• Corrupt and Dysfunctional U.S. Government  – Barack Obama and his team of Progressive Socialists
• U.S. Economic Collapse
• Moral and Cultural Decay in the USA
• Broken National Borders
• Iran and its Middle East proxies
• Radical Islam and the Global Caliphate; Al Qaeda’s surge
• Willful Constitutional violations
• Anti-American progressive liberal educational system at all levels

Enough politicking and talk. Action is crucial. We have been so afraid to be the lion, afraid to be seen as  a bad guy, that we have NOT drawn the line in the sand and said: “you may not cross this line or these are the consequences.” To take a stand is not being a bad guy. It is quite the opposite, it is to be lauded; taking a stand with very clearly defined national goals and objectives are being responsible. We need to do more than simply reacting; we need to be pro-active and preemptive.

I want to see our people; our fellow citizens do just that, not just as a reaction to the current economic and security threats, but on a continual basis defending against internal (domestic) elements of national suicide and destruction. It’s the equivalent of being a parent who is afraid of being firm and setting boundaries, letting their child run out of control for fear we may be thought the ogre, and reacts only situation by situation, each time confirming softness instead of resolve. That parent needs to step back, size up the situation and say this is what MUST be done now, so not to face it again. We must change our political philosophy, awaken from our lethargic state, erase our apathy and above all, we must abide by our well designed Constitution.

We must replace the leadership of this country now by demanding resignations, exposing and trying political criminals, filing legal actions and replacing those people in positions of power with a new team of Warrior Leaders. I believe we must reclaim our status as courageous warriors, as outraged fighters, as the parents of the child that has been set upon, and say to those that have crossed the line and caused us pain: “there will be reprisal and punishment.”

In our American Exceptionalism, one borne of varied and mixed cultures, peoples with differing origins, of diverse religious affiliations; the need to put aside our petty differences which keep our combined culture fragmented, is crucial. I am one of those “Sleeping Giants” that has been awakened and want you to be awakened, and join me as a “Sleeping Giant” freshly awoken, a giant no longer asleep that sees the light of day before it is too late and is willing to ACT.

Please America; help us stir the “Sleeping Giant.”

Obama’s attempt at comedy

What happens when you attempt to tell a joke and make an A$$ of yourself.

If you have to tell someone you just told a joke after they failed to laugh, usually that tells you something. So it’s worth wondering what went wrong when the president tried to crack a funny while introducing his choice to head the new consumer protection bureau Monday afternoon.

During his introduction of former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, the president mentioned that Cordray is a former five-time Jeopardy champion. Consequently, he said, “all [Cordray’s] answers at his confirmation hearings will be in the form of a question.”

The audience was silent.

“That’s a joke,” Obama said smiling, allowing the crowd to break out in a chorus of chuckles:

When you have to tell others it’s a joke, the comedian is severly lacking. Worse is the pandering media laughs on command. I wonder what doggie treats they get for acting on command. Begging strips?

Obama gaffe proves he’s using forged documents

Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama in his latest gaffe, admitted that the COLB [Certification of Live Birth] and Long Form Birth Certificate’s are nothing but lies and forgeries. On July 15th, 2011, Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama stated “You know, I’m going to be turning 50 in a week, so I’m starting to think a little bit more about Medicare eligibility,” But, according to the document he claims to be his Hawaiian birth certificate that he released April 27, his birthday is not until August 4, which is actually three weeks away from the time he said it, not one. The idiot [Barack Abdallah Husein Obama] continued speaking “I’m gonna get my AARP card soon,” Obama added. “And the discounts.”

Ya think the idiot would actually know his birthday. Either Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama is a complete idiot and bafoon.

Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama claims that his birthday is in one week, when his forged documents stated it’s three weeks on Aug 4th. Seems like Obama is admitting he was born in late July 1961 in Kenya. The same Kenya that Michelle Obama states is his ‘Home Coutry’ and the same reason why Michelle also states that Barack is a ‘Kenyan’.

Obama’s admission supports that he was in fact born in  Kenya and the Aug 4th date is nothing more then when the foreign birth was filed in the State of Hawaii.

God Bless America and Obama’s friends

Note at the 4:22 mark is Ronald Reagan. Two thumbs up for a Patriot Ronald Reagan.

and compare that to what Obama’s friends say and do.

Your known by the friends you keep…Obama’s friends, unAmerican scumbags, hatriots, and bottom feeders.

Obama in deep doo doo

H/T The Looking Spoon

Barack is getting ready for his temper tantrum over the debt crisis.  Maybe if he kicks, screams, and threats enough he can get more money to spend. Raghead or rag bottom, either way Obama is in deep doo doo.

Obama: Babies are a “punishment”

 

Lying Presser

h/t Weasel Zippers

My comment: Does this sh**stain do anything but lie. Obama is the embodiment of living excrement. Remember when you asked how high they can pile crap? You see the answer, looking at Obama.

UPDATE:

OBAMA: 80% OF AMERICANS WANT HIGHER TAXES…

Obama’s father planned to give him up for adoption

New book ‘The Other Barack’ draws a candid portrait of a brilliant but troubled man. LINK to original article

A new book may shed new light on the background of President Obama’s father.

“The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama’s Father” is slated for release on Tuesday, July 12 by Public Affairs Press. In it, Boston Globe reporter Sally H. Jacobs takes a candid look at Barack Obama Sr. and paints a portrait in sharp contrast to the one provided by the president in his own memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” published in 2004.

Through exhaustive interviews, Jacobs assembles a complex depiction of the elder Obama as a brilliant but troubled man. One of the most notable revelations she offers is that when Barack Obama Sr. was a 24-year-old college sophomore, he and Ann Dunham — his second wife and the mother of President Obama — initially planned to give their unborn child up for adoption via the Salvation Army.

Jacobs’ account was gleaned from a memo about a conversation with Obama Sr. conducted by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. She further reports that upon the time of that memo’s release (through the Freedom of Information act), the president himself was unaware of it or its contents.

Ultimately, Jacobs recounts, the president’s father chose not to put his infant son up for adoption. How serious his original intention was remains unclear.

With the latest poll numbers and people disbelieving that fabled abd fabricated nativity story, I wonder how many would give Barack Abdallah Husein Obama up for adotion now?

There is a second story LINK

Father spoke of having Obama adopted

US immigration files from ’61 reveal Kenyan student’s plan

In the spring of 1961, President Obama’s father revealed a plan for his unborn son that might have changed the course of American political history.

The elder Barack H. Obama, a sophomore at the University of Hawaii, had come under scrutiny by federal immigration officials who were concerned that he had more than one wife. When he was questioned by the school’s foreign student adviser, the 24-year-old Obama insisted that he had divorced his wife in his native Kenya. Although his new wife, Ann Dunham, was five months pregnant with their child – who would be called Barack Obama II – Obama declared that they intended to put their child up for adoption.

“Subject got his USC wife ‘Hapai’ [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away,’’ according to a memo describing the conversation with Obama written by Lyle H. Dahling, an administrator in the Honolulu office of what was then called the US Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Obama, the Subject, and his USC, or United States citizen, wife, obviously, did not put their baby up for adoption. Whether the young couple actually considered such a step, or the elder Obama made the story up in order to appease immigration officials who at the time were considering his request for an extension of his stay in the United States, is unclear. Family members on both sides of the marriage now say they never heard any mention of adoption.

But his statement provides a unique glimpse into the relationship between the president’s parents and the fragility of his connection to the father whom he would little know.

Dahling’s memo, dated April 12, 1961, is one of dozens of documents in the elder Obama’s “alien’’ file released by the Department of Homeland Security in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made in the course of research on a biography of Obama’s father. Obama was visiting the United States on a foreign student visa which required him to apply for an annual extension of his stay during the five years he was attending US colleges.

The memo advised that officials should continue to monitor the senior Obama’s personal life, and raised concerns about his behavior, noting that the previous summer he had been warned about his “playboy ways.’’

Robert L. Gibbs, the former White House press secretary, said at the time the document was released that President Obama had never been told that his mother had considered putting him up for adoption. Nor, Gibbs said, was Obama previously aware of the INS memo. Gibbs said that the White House had made no effort to determine if Dunham had ever had a conversation with the Salvation Army. The president, he added, “is absolutely convinced that she did not.’’

From the early 20th century through the 1970s the Salvation Army operated nearly a dozen residential maternity homes throughout the United States, one of which was located in Honolulu. Residents who chose not to keep their babies were able to make arrangements to put them up for adoption through local agencies. The agency maintains records of its maternity homes but provides them only to birth mothers or children who request them, according to Kathy Lovin, public affairs manager for The Salvation Army’s western territory in Long Beach, Calif. Lovin declined to say whether Ann Dunham, who died in 1995, spoke with Salvation Army officials at all about the possibility of putting her child up for adoption.

Neither President Obama nor the White House has since asked the Salvation Army if there is any record that his parents talked with the organization regarding his possible adoption, according to a White House press person who declined to be identified.

The INS memo can be regarded from several perspectives. On the one hand, Ann Dunham had good reason to consider surrendering her child. At the time that she gave birth in 1961, Dunham was just 18 years old, and mixed-race marriage – while legal in Hawaii – was a felony in many of the 22 states in which it was banned. Even in Hawaii, the only state at the time with a nonwhite majority, blacks accounted for less than 1 percent of the population, and a black face drew curious stares on the streets of Honolulu.

In his memoir, “Dreams from My Father,’’ President Obama mused that his mother might have considered putting her child up for adoption given the cultural hostility to mixed race marriages that existed at the time. Even in sophisticated urban centers, he wrote, “. . . the hostile stares, the whispers, might have driven a woman in my mother’s predicament into a back-alley abortion – or at the very least to a distant convent that could arrange for adoption.’’

While it is possible that the elder Obama’s statement to the student adviser was true, family and friends say they do not believe she ever considered such a thing. Dunham, they maintain, was a bold iconoclast even as a young woman and regarded her unborn child as very much her responsibility, one that she would never have surrendered.

“I never heard any talk of adoption whatsoever,’’ said Charles Payne, Dunham’s maternal uncle, who is now in his 80s and living in Chicago. “Ann decided she had done this and this was her child and she was going to take care of him. From day one, as far as I could tell, she and Madelyn [Dunham] and Stanley [Dunham] were all completely committed to Barack.’’

Nor do several of Ann Dunham’s friends at the time recall her mentioning giving up her baby. On the contrary, Susan Botkin Blake, a high school friend of Dunham’s, describes how entranced her friend was with her small son during a visit to Seattle just weeks after he was born.

“She was wildly in love with Barack Obama, her husband, and very excited about her future with him,’’ recalled Blake. “From my perspective, she had no equivocation about her baby in the slightest. She was thrilled with him.’’

Barack Obama Sr., on the other hand, would have had reason to worry that having a child in the United States could have significant consequences. For starters, Obama, who had two children in Kenya, was having severe financial problems. Although he told Dunham that he had gotten divorced from his Kenyan wife, he apparently did not tell her about his other children.

Obama was a member of the Luo ethnic group, the third largest of Kenya’s tribes, among whose members polygamy was common. His own father had at least four wives. In fact, Obama was still married to his Kenyan wife, Grace Kezia Obama, and apparently worried about the financial burden of another child.

Of greater concern was his immigration status. At the time that he made his statement about adoption in spring 1961, Obama was in the midst of applying to the INS for an extension of his stay in the United States. Although it was a routine process that was required of foreign students periodically, the application entailed an examination of the student’s academic record and general behavior.

Obama would have wanted to present a case that would impress immigration authorities. A bigamist with a mixed-race baby, if that is how authorities chose to see him, was not likely to be the strongest of candidates. As Gibbs assessed the elder Obama’s possible motive: “He was trying to convince immigration to let him stay. So, part of his effort was to convince immigration that some of the responsibilities that he had he would not continue to have.’’

University of Hawaii and federal immigration authorities were already alarmed about Obama’s relationships with women and perplexed as to his marital status. Since his arrival at the university in 1959, Obama had repeatedly failed to complete routine paperwork at UH’s foreign students office regarding his domestic status that would have clarified whether he had a wife in Kenya, according to an employee in the office who declined to be identified. Even the exact year of his own birth was unclear. Obama alternately reported to immigration and academic officials that he was born in both 1934 and 1936. Although the INS memo records the year of his birth as 1934, Obama’s family members and other records indicate that he was probably born in 1936.

When he married Dunham in February 1961, school administrators began to probe his status in earnest. Sumi McCabe, then UH’s foreign student adviser, first brought attention to the matter during a phone call to Dahling, the INS administrator, the following April. According to Dahling’s memo, “Mrs. McCabe further states that [Obama] has been running around with several girls since he first arrived here and last summer she cautioned him about his playboy ways. [Obama] replied that he would ‘try’ to stay away from the girls.’’ But he didn’t try very hard. Instead, he began dating the dark-eyed Ann Dunham.

Now that he was married to a US citizen and was soon to become the father of an American child, immigration officials would not have been reassured by his official records. On some of the forms in his alien file, Obama reported that he had a Kenyan wife. After he married Dunham, he sometimes reported her as his wife. More often than not, he left the section blank.

All the while, he wrote letters to his family and friends back home in Kenya, inquiring about his wife and children there.

Noting that Obama appeared to have a wife in Kenya and another in Hawaii, Dahling raised the possibility in his memo of charging Obama with polygamy or bigamy in order to get a deportation order against him. In the end, he suggested they keep an eye on him.

“Recommend that Subject be closely questioned before another extension is granted – and denial be considered,’’ Dahling concluded. “If his USC wife tries to petition for him, make sure an investigation is conducted as to the bona fide of the marriage.’’

As it turned out, the matter soon moved out of Honolulu administrators’ purview. The following year, Obama left his small family in Honolulu and headed to Harvard University to pursue a doctorate in economics. While in Cambridge, Obama would not only meet his third wife, but the question of how many wives he had would spiral into a confrontation with devastating consequences.
