Wake Up Sheeple!
W
ake up sheeple! The hour is late and the windows of opportunity are closing. The agenda being implemented by the sixties
radicals now in control of the Democrat Party is clear. There is no
longer a need to speculate or depend upon some political analyst to
give their analysis and interpretation of what these people are doing
to our Constitutional Republic that they have incorrectly re-designated a Democracy.
They are a coalition of radical leftists, socialists and communists
who prefer to be addressed by the politically-correct and deceptive
label: Progressives. They are indoctrinated in and implementing the
teachings of Sol Alinsky found in his book, Rules for Radicals, combined with the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Alinsky developed, taught and published a plan for overthrowing
the government from within, using lies, deception and forcing legitimate institutions to conform to higher standards than the radicals in
government. The lies of Obama and members of his administration are
not simply character flaws. This is an intentional part of their strategy.
The Cloward-Piven strategy is a proven plan to bankrupt government by overloading government agencies and welfare programs. It
is happening daily. Look at Social Security rolls, Medicare, MEDICAID, food stamps. WIC, refusal to close borders, refusal to deport
criminals, OBAMACARE, global warming grants, Obama phones,
Amnesty, and the list goes on.
The American electorate has given the Republican Party one last
chance to reverse the direction the Obama Administration has taken
for the past six years and intends to continue at least for the next two
years. For the next two years Republicans will control both houses of
Congress. Only time will tell whether they will make a difference.
For any that may doubt that Mr. Obama is in step with historic
Communist dictators, please consider the words of Vladimir Lenin
penned in 1921 and compare the list to the policies of President Barack
Obama. Lenin listed what was necessary to destroy the West:
• Corrupt the young
• Get youth away from religion
• Encourage their interest in sex
• Make them superficial by focusing their attention on sports, sensual entertainment and other trivialities
• Always advocate Democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as
possible
• Encourage government extravagance and destroy its credit
• Produce fear by raising prices, inflation and general discontent
• Encourage disorders and foster a lenient attitude toward disorders
• By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral values:
honesty, sobriety and self-restraint
• Cause registration of firearms (to) leave the population defenseless
This may be the last time Republicans as a national party will be
given an opportunity to lead the nation unless they implement and
carry out a major attempt to reverse the Obama Communist Dictatorial
Agenda. Part of the Obama Agenda is to destroy the Republicans as
a force in national politics. That is the major reason behind the open
border policy and Executive Amnesty of illegal aliens that is currently
in operation. A secondary reason is to increase the rolls of people
dependent on the government. If Hispanics and other illegal immigrants are given work permits, as a result of their work ethic, they will
displace many currently employed black supporters of Obama from
the workforce and onto the welfare rolls.
Many Republicans in Congress are supportive of amnesty for illegal border invaders because of pressure from the Chamber of Commerce that represents corporations that value cheap labor more than
freedom.
Republicans must wise up, close the borders and refuse to allow
voting rights for people in this country illegally. Elected officials will
not ignore the Chamber unless they receive overwhelming pressure
from grass roots conservatives.
Republicans must strengthen and provide credible leadership for
national defense or we will become slaves to ruthless foreign masters.
If we are to survive as a free people, those of us who value truth
and the Author of all truth, must inform the multitude of “Sheeple”
who are unknowingly contributing to the destruction of themselves
and their fellow countrymen.

Do You Want More Taxes?
Dear Editor,
If you don’t want higher taxes
in Pickens County you better
speak up!
A group known as “Concerned
Citizens of Pickens County”
(CCPC) is trying to pull a fast one
on you over the holiday season.
This could be a sufficient tax
increase at a time when we are
struggling to make ends meet.
According to a 2014 study by
CATO Institute, the relationship
between taxpayers spending more
money on education and higher
achievement by students does
NOT exist! http://washington
.cbslocal.com/2014/04/07/studyno-link-between-school-spending-student-achievement/
Don’t let this group persuade
the Pickens School Board to raise
YOUR taxes.
I don’t know about you … but I
am taxed enough already. Please
contact the below School Board
Members and tell them, “Just Say
NO to higher taxes.” The decision
will be made DECEMBER 15th! So
call them NOW!

Like our Government, the Associate Press's
Liberal Agenda comes before the Facts
Dear Editor,
Our ego-driven, ideologue
President is trying to turn America
into one big, liberal, voting Democratic Party by not enforcing our
immigration laws, circumventing
our Constitution and ignoring
Congress with executive orders
making citizens out of illegals. He
and his Party are being helped
with a complicit news media that
rarely reports the facts of an issue that reflects badly on their
favorite, liberal politician or government — just as they are now
doing with the extreme, far-left
Obama Administration.
In the Anderson Independent-
Mail, on 11/16/14, Andrew Taylor
of the Associated Press wrote that
Ronald Reagan and George H.W.
Bush did what Obama has done
with his executive order shielding
millions of illegals from deportation which should not be a big
deal. Taylor says those ‘mean-old’
tea party Republicans should not
be threatening a political explosion because Obama has followed
through on his promise to shield
millions of illegals from deportation. Mr. Taylor conveniently ignores the fact that Reagan and
Bush differed in that their bills
originated in a Democratic-con-
trolled Congress, passed by both
Houses in Congress, and the
numbers were for a few thousand,
not millions.
Reagan’s amnesty was for supposedly a million, but due to the
fraud and corruption that was created by this bill, the number of
illegals that were amnestied was
about 3 million. And, Mr.Reagan
only consented to sign the 1986
Amnesty bill after Congress promised it would be our only ever
amnesty, our immigration laws
would be enforced, and our
Southern border controlled—
none of which ever happened.
Later, Reagan said that his biggest Presidential mistake was signing the1986 Amnesty Bill.
Our milk-toast, Muslim leaning
President, along with the mainstream news media, are doing their
best to destroy the America that
our forefathers visualized and created. Even liberal Jonathan Turley,
a prominent law professor at
George Washington University,
said on 11/23/14 in the AIM that
Obama’s shielding, executive order “tears at the very fabric of the
Constitution” and announced he
would help the GOP with any
court challenge.

Dear Editor,
In January, 1943, I read one of
those rare books that is so profound and practical you never
forget it. It was titled As We Go
Marching, and was written in 1938
by a professor of European History at one of the Ivy League universities. It was based upon five
premises:
l. People are constantly changing, whether they intend to or not.
2. We tend to become more and
more like whoever is the focus of
our attention.
3. As things are going, war will
soon break out in Europe, and the
U.S. will soon be drawn into it.
Our enemies will become the fo-
Let America Be Ameria!
cus of our attention.
4. The governments of Germany, Italy, and Russia have some
very bad traits.
5. As we go marching off to war
we MUST be on guard lest we
become like them.
The professor used most of the
book to detail the “very bad” traits
of the axis powers that we needed
to be on guard against. All three
governments dangled seemingly
desirable government programs
in front of their people as bait to
win their cooperation and eventual subjugation:
l. Free education for as far as
the student was capable of mas-
tering: trade school, college, or
university.
2. Good paying jobs for everybody.
3. Free medical care for everybody.
4. Low cost warm, comfortable,
modem housing for everybody.
The catch is, these programs
have a cost. In order for a government to give anything it must take
The professor’s predictions all
came true. To “prime the pump”
the German government confiscated the wealth of six million
Jews and an untold number of
Christians. The Russians took
from twenty-four million Jews and
Christians. The Italians invaded
Albania, Greece, and Ethiopia.
Had the Allies not won World War
II the result would have been abject slavery for all the peoples of
Europe, and possibly all of North
America.
What bothers me today is, as
the U.S. “fought” the cold war
against Communism, and is now
“fighting” both a cold and a hot
war against Islam (whether it is PC
to say so or not) I see a tendency
to become like our enemies. Come
on! Let’s reverse course. Let’s let
America be America. I loved her
when she was herself, and many
millions of others did, too.
