“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they
should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of
independence from any who might attempt to abuse them,
which would include their own government.”

WE’VE FIGURED HIM OUT!
By Ben Stein
Why was President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.
(Pig in a poke means: an offering or deal that is foolishly accepted without being examined first. A poke means sack.)
They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.
They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.
They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, and not a fan of this country.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way helped all Americans.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never can be –
“a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society.” Either the costs go up or the free society goes away… an historical truth.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to “protect us” from global warming, itself largely a fraud, if believed to be caused by man.She has also signed on to a Small Firearms Treaty at the U.N.
This is a back door gun control move. This is approved by the Senate and a 2nd Amendment majority doesn’t exist in the Senate now. It will supersede all U.S. Law and the 2nd Amendment. All citizen possession will be eliminated through confiscation. Just Like Great Britain and Australia .
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America .

You must, as an American, FORWARD this, or you will wake up one morning and your freedoms will be GONE…No longer there!

lolol We lost our freedoms under Bush, and the momentum of those giant wheels of ‘homeland security’ can’t be stopped easily by any new “hood ornament” President we may have come into the Whitehouse, or any of these disgusting puppet politicians for that matter! I still can’t figure Obama out, but I don’t feel good about him…. I have seen the layers of changes in the Photoshopped birth certificate, so no, I don’t believe he was born on American soil, but it is true that any child of any American person, born on any soil, is an American child, and his mother was an American. That said, though, he was raised elsewhere, under another country’s ideals, so he cannot have the loyalty for America and Americans that anyone born AND raised here will have.
they are all NWO stooges and put in there by ISRAEL and the zionist mafia. Its his ISRAELI passport you should be searching for, not Kenyan
So says the ultra conservative American Spectator, the political version of jackass (the movie).
If Obama is ultra left as claimed… that should put icon Ronald Raygun somewhere in the neighborhood of Mao.
He has done nothing ultra left.. and everything to continue the policies and administration of bush jr. Of course thats not good enough for the ultra conservative Repubs… they now want to expand the globalist agenda of their corporate handlers. It truly is US (the U.S.) vs the 1%.
Don’t drink the cool-aid.
Ben Stein has always been a clear and logical independent. He is the most intelligent and balanced person is any form of media. When a person like Mr. Stein speaks up this vehemently, it is a word to the wise.
The opening “quotation” is attributed to George Washington, but just for the hell of it, let’s be accurate one time: Here’s the actual quote: “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”
First Annual Message to Congress on the State of the Union
January 8, 1790
Ben, you do not have to obey any law that is not Constitutional. I do not know why you are not treating our leaders as common criminals?
They are committing treason right before your eyes and all you do is complain instead of arresting them putting them on trial? I think they hung them in the past? Today they are lucky, you just tickle them on their feet.
Look how scared they got you running. Where is your BACKBONE BEN! ARREST these very common immature criminals. They are behaving like children up there!
