Have you seen ads in the paper, or on TV that a local store is having a big sale. Everything in the store is 50% off. You make sure you put that ad to the side, and when you are off on the weekend, you make plans to get there and shop around.
So you get there. The image in your head of big bargains has been implanted and you just know you are getting a good deal.
Then you look at the price for the item you want to buy. It doesn't seem like it is 50% less than you usually pay. In fact, the sale price is almost exactly, what you paid last week at the other store, but it must be a bargain because they said so. The full-page ad in the paper said so. You also saw the commercial on TV, or heard it on the radio over and over.
You were right when your brain told you it wasn't really a bargain. Advertisers are paid enormous sums of money, to produce ads that will lure you in, and the companies they are advertising pay it to bombard you until you believe and buy.
Psychology plays a huge role in advertising. That's why you see the same commercials on TV over and over and over. It's a form of brainwashing. The images get burned into your brain, so when you get to the store, you don't even think about it anymore. You take the item from the shelf, and place it in your cart. You don't even think about it because the idea now comes from your subconscious.
With these thoughts in mind, would it surprise you if you found out that our Government was using these same ideas on you?
During the Presidential campaign, then Senator Obama agreed to use public funding for his campaign, and then went against his agreement. Public funding for those who don't understand it, is a limited fund that each candidate gets from the Government, to run his campaign. The catch is, that the candidate can't use any other money that comes from donations. When Senator Obama broke his word, he gained access to boatloads of money, and that's when you saw ad after ad on TV. His face was plastered everywhere. You do not even realize the psychology that they used on us.
Each day since his inauguration, President Obama has been on either the radio, or TV. Psychology is still being used on us. We are constantly bombarded with ads about Clean Coal, or news clips of another speech the President made today. I have seen up to 3 separate speeches on TV, that the President made in one day. It is advertising in politics. They want us to believe it so that we will just follow the pied piper right over the cliff, without question.
I started this post with the 50% off sale, because I just want to mention the Federal Budget. In the little sale story I said: "In fact the sale price is almost exactly what you paid last week…". Now think about how President Obama said he wants to cut the deficit in half. If you raise the amount of the budget, just like in the sale story, then you claim to cut it in half, you end up with the same amount you started with.
Do you see the Manipulation? Do you see the psychology, in making us believe something we know to be false? They are going to continue to air these ads, until we Americans convert to their way of thinking. They are pushing the Socialist agenda. They are trying to get America so far into debt, and then they will swoop in to rescue us.
It's a game to our Elite elected officials, but it's not a game to us Americans. Don't believe the ads. Stand Strong. Stand Together.

Undermining Our Security
And so it begins. President Obama's administration has started the foolish act of releasing memos from the previous administration. The idea that most 'Americans need to know this information', is not an old one. It's a political gimmick, favored by Liberals, and Democrats. It falls in line with the current administration's ideas of Transparency. They try to convince us that we need to know everything that happens behind the scenes, while trying to keep our country safe.
This doesn't mean I don't want to know about anything, but let's be real for a minute. If you're Son, Daughter, Mother or Father, or anyone that you are close to for that matter, was kidnapped, captured or threatened by terrorists, wouldn't you want our government to do whatever it took to keep them safe or get them back safely. Yeah, you would, and so would every Liberal out there, if it was someone they were close to. But, we don't need to know how they are brought back safe, only that they are. There are some gruesome things that happen during wars, but the Manipulation here, is that Liberals would have you believe that they would have their loved one die, rather than hurt a terrorist who might know where their loved one was.
When President Clinton reduced the CIA and the military, the result was an embassy bombing, bombing of The USS Cole, and the first bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. The Manipulation during the Clinton years was that the world was becoming a friendly place… We all need to get along…. We are one world….
When asked about why he didn't pursue finding Bin Laden, President Clinton said: "It was too much of a political Hot Potato". Of course you know the end result. Over three thousand people died on American soil when The World Trade Center was destroyed. and the Manipulation was that President George W. Bush deserved the blame.
President Bush didn't have the time to rebuild the intelligence network that President Clinton destroyed. He was only nine months into his Presidency, but it is quite evident, that if President Clinton wanted to protect our nation instead of his world ties, then that devastating date which is forever burned into our memories, may never have happened. Even though the Liberals and Democrats, and even some Republicans for that matter, would like to condemn President Bush for it, no one on the planet can say he didn't keep us safe for the rest of his Presidency.
Liberals and Democrats would have us believe that the world would be a better place if we just sat and talked to terrorist nations. A couple of Hollywood's representatives recently went to Iran to speak on behalf of America, and what they got in return is a slap in the face. Their President condemned Hollywood for making Iran look bad in movies, and wanted an apology. Did these actors actually think they were doing something important? Do they realize how lucky they are that they weren't beheaded?
I recently sat and watched a DVD that I had seen before titled "The Face of Evil – Reagan's War in Word & Deed", 2004. I highly recommend viewing this DVD to anyone and everyone, especially if you have difficulty believing in modern day evils. (Terrorists) You can get it through Netflix.
The reality is, that most Americans don't need to know about these newly released memos, just as they don't need to know about most of the things we need to keep secret. If they want to know about the economy, and things happening on our soil, then yes, open the books. But people don't need to be bogged down thinking about the gory details of war.
Do you see the Manipulation; the smoke and mirrors? Liberals will actually undermine the security of our nation, if it means getting votes. I've said it before, and undoubtedly will say it again. The Liberals and Democrats won the 2008 election, so they can stop campaigning. They need to get on with running the country.

Jobs and Taxes
In The President's address to Congress, The Pep Rally, he said: "Over the next two years this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs."
Which is it? Save, or create? Most people would simply overlook this, but it is so important that you don't. It's a play on words. A Manipulation. The explanation is that in politics, every speech needs to be worded just right, or someone might call you on it. When the President says save or create 3.5 million jobs, which by the way he has said on several occasions, so it isn't a slip of the tongue, he wants you to hear the word create, so you will get pumped up, and feel good about what he is trying to do. He adds the words "Save or", so that when his plan fails to create jobs, he can fall back on the ones that haven't been lost yet because of his plan.
Several times, even during his campaign, the President promised to lower taxes on all but the top 2%. But if other taxes are raised, like the new 50 cents a gallon tax on gasoline for example, then the little tax decrease in your pay check will be more than wiped out.
TAXES aren't the solution, they are part of the problem.
The tax argument still stands between Liberals and Conservatives. Liberals believe that if you raise taxes on big Corporations, another example, there will be more funding for the programs they want to put or keep in play. That isn't stimulating the economy. It is adding extra burden.
The reality is, that Corporations don't actually pay taxes. They add it on to the prices paid by the consumer, or they lay people off. Conservatives believe that if you raise the Corporate tax, Corporations are forced to send more jobs overseas, to remain competitive, and of course, that means job losses here at home.
If we remove Politics and TAX from the debate, the next question is: "How do we create more jobs at home?" The Liberal answer is to raise taxes. If you don't have a job, then you can come to the Government for help. Sure, they will add lots of money to their Social programs, like Unemployment, Welfare, etc…, and they will get it from the taxes they raise. It's their way of saying thank you for putting them into power. The problem is, that more and more programs just like the ones I've mentioned, start to dominate how we survive, and less and less jobs are created. In layman's terms, we will need to rely on Government more and more, and that means our freedoms become less and less.
A lot of you might be saying, that that won't happen, so I give you a very small example. Two people I know collect Social Security Disability. The first of whom worked all his life, and then was injured and can no longer work. He collects seven hundred dollars a month. Can you, live on that? The second person never worked, and collects eight hundred and fifty six dollars a month. Yes, more than the one who worked.
Can you see the incentive? Why should you even try to go to work, when the Government will give you even more money than someone who did? Once we are completely reliant on Government however, then the Government can and will change all the rules on how much you get, and what you need to do to get it. That's when the Government rules, not the people. That's when our Constitution gets pushed aside, or destroyed altogether. An example of this is the proposed amendment to add a seat to the Senate, for Washington, D.C. This seat will only serve one purpose. To gain another Democrat in the Senate. D.C. is predominantly minority, and minorities favor Democratic, or Liberal programs. It only stands to reason, that a Republican or Conservative would never be elected there.
If you look closely at what is going on behind the scenes, and some may call this a conspiracy theory, you might be able to see the cumulative effects of the Manipulation.
It used to be such a slow, easy push that most Americans didn't bother to notice. But if you can't see the blatant display now, then you've got your head in the sand.
We are in the middle of an economic collapse. The reasons are arguable, and so is the fault. Get passed it. WE ARE ALREADY HERE! It's a problem that involves all Americans, Liberals and Conservatives and everyone in between. Jobs are dropping like flies, and the Liberals in power want to raise Corporate tax. The problem with this is, that Corporations will now need to send jobs overseas, causing major job losses here at home. We believe that if you want to create more jobs here at home, then leave the tax alone, and level the playing field. We need to place tariffs on products coming in from overseas. This would give incentives to companies to put more Americans to work. If it was an even swap, most American companies, would rather have Americans working. If they work, they spend, and then the magic happens. The economy actually grows, and we don't need to borrow money from the very countries we are competing with. It is a very simple solution as long as two things stay out of the argument.
If it seems like I started to repeat myself, you're right. I did. I wanted to show the problem with our political system. It just goes back and forth, and nothing ever gets accomplished.
The argument unfortunately is the TAX, but it shouldn't be. Raise taxes, Lower taxes. It's an impass in the fundamental way the left and right think, and because we will never see eye to eye on this issue, we should put it to the side and actually work on the problem. JOBS!

The Congressional Pep Rally
There were a few things the President mentioned, in his Pep Rally for Congress on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, that need to be brought up. First up, the President said: "I'm proud that we passed the recovery plan free of earmarks, and I want to pass a budget next year that ensures that each dollar we spend reflects only our most important national priorities." For anyone that didn't watch the speech, I must say it was so beautifully delivered. The President really can read out-loud, quite well.
BUT according to The Merriam Webster Dictionary, an earmark is a distinguishing mark; or means: to designate for a specific purpose. Why would Congress pass a bill of this magnitude that has no specific purpose? No that's not it. I've heard that the bill actually has nine thousand earmarks, so misdirection or better known as politics is Manipulating you. From both sides of the Isle. Yeah, Republicans too.
Next up from the Pep Rally, the President spoke about education. Of course, I agree there are other nations whose education systems are superior to ours.
But didn't our last President start a program called No Child Left Behind? And didn't congress pull the funding for it? So now it's Ok again I guess, to educate, as long as it is a program created by Democrats. Do you see the politics, in the Manipulation?
Or how about this; The President asked "…that every American commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training." Are we supposed to do that with the 13 extra dollars we'll get each week, from his tax cuts? No, the President added "…that if you are willing to volunteer in your neighborhood, or give back to your community or serve your country, then we will make sure that you can afford a higher education."
Another play on words? No, Another Manipulation. We will make sure you can afford a higher education, still means you're going to pay for it.
My thought for today is that the President's handlers, and writers need to get The President off the campaign trail, and back into the oval office.
