Yes, I agree with all of these comments. I think that the cause of all of this could be planned terrorism. We need to keep investigating. One easy explosive set by a enemy "seal" type could have caused all of this. Who knows. bo will ride it all he can get out of it.

The Ethic Of The West
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious
people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
The Ethic of the West is a term coined in 1921 by a German social scientist, Max Weber, to describe the character of the people in the United States who live according to doctrines of individual competence and responsibility through personal achievement and free enterprise. This ethic sets the United States citizens apart from any others because it is upon this code of ethics that the United States Constitution was formed. “A people cannot remain free and civilized without moral purpose, constraints, and duties,” declares Mark Levin in Liberty and Tyranny. Moral ethics combined with individual freedom opens the door to creativity and enlightenment; hence, spiritual joy and material success thrive in such a climate. Economic and social success comes from effective use of fundamental truths of independence, self-reliance, and individual initiative. Underlying ethics stems from a belief in God, one that endows natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The United States is a civil society in which “. . . the individual has a duty to respect the unalienable rights of others and the values, customs, and traditions, tried and tested over time and passed from one generation to the next, that establish society’s cultural identity.” (Ibid)
In contrast, intellectual-elitists who believe in an all-powerful central welfare government have secretly infiltrated the United States governmental and educational systems since before World War I with the intent to erode the ethical standards upon which our Constitution was founded. The US Constitution has no more value to these liberal thinkers than an antiquated piece of paper that blocks them from reaching their goals. They have created Agenda 21, a collection of policies of “Sustainable Development” that moves private rights away from the individual to government control. The radicals believe in collectivism which creates groveling masses that depend, not upon an ethical standard of morals from God, but upon relativism and the wisdom of the ruling elite. William Penn says, “If men will not be governed by God, then they must be ruled by tyrants.” Without God, there is only man-made mandates. The premise that controlled citizens in a godless Utopian society can exist where responsibility will be removed from the personal to the dictatorial sphere is threatening to the core of the human spirit.
The pernicious man-made doctrine currently labeled “Liberalism,” or “Progressivism”
that was adopted from European liberal-intellectuals was implanted into the United States educational system as early as 1905. An organization, first known as the Student League for Industrial Democracy later branched into a group called “Americans for Democratic Action.” “The central theme, the object of this powerful movement that has captured not only most of the academic social scientists and historians, but places an ever increasing amount of adherents in the highly sensitive organs of the national government, is to collectivize the United States, preparatory to a world-wide socialist government. Our aim is “nothing less than world government.”
(Richard Vetterli, The Constitution By A Thread).
By the 1930′s, during the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt and his Democratic Congress violated state sovereignty and private property rights with New Deal programs which placed enormous taxes and regulatory burdens on the private sector. It was a major break from constitutional principles and the founders’ ethics. The new programs actually delayed economic recovery from the depression, and they opened the doors to a flood of more progressive actions. Constitutional restrictions were breached by judges appointed by FDR and subsequently, through the years, by other liberal judges who interpreted the Constitution as a “living, breathing document” subject to interpretation. Legislation from the bench continues to be practiced today.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. made the comment, “There is no sign that the capitalists . . . are putting up a really determined fight” against socialism in the Partisan Review, 1947. (Reprinted in the Congressional Record, Vol.107 in 1961).
By 1955, liberal-intellectual J. Kenneth Galbraith, in an essay, “Economics in the Art of Controversy,” made a statement that “The United States government no longer had a non-Keynesian (Socialist) choice.” [Richard Vitterli] It was too late for choice because insidious socialistic seeds had already been planted in the system.
“From the Communist point of view, the Liberal program is the Communist program at a preliminary stage in the dialectical unfolding of the revolution,” says Professor Burnham. A planted seed spreads as it grows through the years.
The extent to which these pseudo-intellectuals have carried forth their corrosion and have rotted the fabric of American society is a matter of conjecture; however, we’re witnessing an erosion of our personal liberties as one pernicious bill after another
is passed and executive orders are signed by the current Democratic administration.
The Ethic of the West is dying as the cancer of Socialism grows within the system. Is material security becoming more important than individualism? Is capitalism and free enterprise not valued? Are socialized labor and welfare programs and government regulated banks and health care systems as well as monopolistic trade unions more important than the free market system and values upon which the United States was founded?
Americans For Democratic Action is still in existence as a group. It is a strong organization with chapters dotted across the country. These quotes are found on the main page of the website www.adaction.org:
“ADA was founded by Eleanor Roosevelt, John Kenneth Galbraith, Walter
Reuther, Arthur Schlesinger and Reinhold Niebuhr shortly after FDR died.
It’s goal then? To keep the New Deal dream-its vision and its values of an
America that works for all–alive for generations to come.”
“With the election of Barack Obama, the moment to realize so many elements
of that long-deferred dream has come true–and ADA is a key player in making
the dream come true, working with the White House, Congress, and allied groups
in Washington even as it builds and mobilizes its grassroots network across the
country.”
In peeking under the rocks of hidden history, the question must be asked, “Is it alarming or merely defining to find familiar names on the roster of the ADA?” Two names, Barney Frank and Charles Rangel are listed as past presidents of this organization that was founded upon Socialistic principles!

The Ethic of the West continued
Untangling the web of leaders who are working in a consorted effort to undermine the fabric of the United States’ Western Ethic is no longer an impossible task for investigators because the leaders who are against our heritage have become embolden in their rhetoric, actions, and legislative bullying. The enemy is easy to spot by their Agenda 21 buzz words such as “Sustainable Development,” “Carbon Footprint,” or “Climate Change.” They now openly use the words, “Global Currency,”
or “One World Nations.”
What does it mean when the President creates a pack of more than thirty unelected Czars, a majority with Socialistic ties, who write policy giving the government control over personal rights?
What does it mean when the Speaker of the House presents a health care bill with more regulations and taxes in it than common sense dictates, not to mention the spending of trillions of dollars “on credit” to a foreign entity with our land as collateral for an ineffective Stimulus Bill?
What does it mean when the government seizes a portion of the banking and auto industries? What will be next?
As Michelle Malkin says, Washington DC is now “Chicago on the Potomac.” Yes, congregated in hallowed halls in Washington DC is the elite Progressive group who are attempting to usurp our traditional rights and freedoms under the simple promise of “change.” They are radicals who want to fundamentally transform the basic fabric of the United States. Faith in God is to be replaced by faith in a big government who will redistribute wealth and create a new social justice which will abolish personal rights such as freedom of speech, the right to carry guns, and the right to Choose health care.
Throughout the halls and monuments of Washington DC, the symbols etched or carved into the walls, ceilings and facades are silent reminders of the Ethic of the West. They quietly stand as witnesses to the dismantling of our framework of freedoms.
With its Godless roots spreading green tentacles across the fruited plains to choke
the Ethic of the West, Agenda 21 thrives. Savant Noir says,
“Climate change is being used to foist a political agenda. UNFCCC
[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]
is the compiled protocols of Agenda 21 and those protocols are driving every
piece of legislation coming out of this administration.”
Will the United States Constitution continue to hang by a thread until it is replaced completely?
Or will the Ethic of the West arise to save it?
Thomas Jefferson speaks clearly to patriots from the grave:
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably
the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
government and to provide new guards for their future security.”
Is the Ethic of the West dead?
Or
Is it alive?

It is out of control! Thomas Jefferson is speaking today to not follow the demcratic way because it is not about our Freedom, but about dictatorship that threatens our rights and freedom..

Hey Doc and Oly ... let's carry this on in a separate thread, OK? This one is about Obama's Oval Office Speech. Start a new one and let's keep things on-topic and not hijack a thread, even if it is unintentional
... THANKS in advance for the cooperation. (I'll give you time to copy and paste this to a new thread, then please and add appropriate on-topic comments).
