Sitting in it are William Ayers, Barack Obama, and a number of other elitist radicals. Their goal, to launch Barack Obama’s career into politics. Their main objective - to completely destroy America as the last bastion of freedom in the world, to turn it into another socialist country, and to go one step further than European countries and re-make America into more of a communist-type socialist country. Is that possible? Well, they think it is. Another goal of theirs - complete control. Who opens the door for them - George W. Bush. You got it. George W. Bush puts all these csars into place that Obama later uses to his advantage to completely try and take over America. This is the way I see it. You might see it differently, but consider these next items… Picture this - A living room in Chicago. Sitting in it are William Ayers, Barack Obama, and a number of other elitist radicals.

Bush puts all these csars into place that Obama later uses to his advantage to completely try and take over America. This is the way I see it. You might see it differently, but consider these next items. Obama declares war on Fox News. Obama declares war on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In fact, it seems like anyone who does not agree with Obama and his administration will have war declared on them. The so called mainstream media sits down like good little lap dogs and lets it go on. The selling out of America. Are they mesmorized? Who knows. Are they being promised something? Who knows. Who cares. The point is, they are sitting idly by and allowing this to continue without alerting the people. And now we really come to the problem. Obama has no experience running anything. This is why he does not understand compromise. This is why he does not understand the concept of how to work with people and get things done. He is in community organizer mode. You know, the mode that only knows how to demonstrate, coerce, threaten, bully their way into getting what they want. Not what is good for the country, not what the people want, but what they want. Hence the enemy list, which is growing rapidly. The Democrats in this country were outraged over Nixon’s enemy list. Why aren’t they outraged now? A president with an enemy list again - where is the outrage? It is hard to get outrage out of a lap dog. Does anyone remember the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes? This is the meaning of what is going on now America. All the people in the story were either in awe or too afraid to tell the king that he had no clothes on at all, until an innocent pointed it out. The innocent has cried long ago about Obama, but no one is listening. Well, some in America are. Is it you? 2009-10-21T03:12:55+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/michael_brewer/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/michael_brewer/#When:13:21:03Z All our prays tonight are going to Michael Brewer.

Michael Brewer is a young man, 15 years old, who was set on fire by some other young men over a video game and a bicycle. First of all, I don’t care what it was over, this is completely horrific. What kind of world do we live in? I have asked this before. But seriously, what kind of world do we live in where one young man sets another young man on fire? Fod God’s sake!  I thought I had heard it all. I have read of so many horrifying things happening in this world. In fact, I remember when Nelson Mandela was in prison and his wife was implicated in a thing where they set a man on fire who was placed inside tires so he could not escape because they thought he had spied or something. I also remember a young man who was set on fire by his own father and then the father had the audacity to want to visit his son who had survived. How can one human being set another human being on fire? What goes wrong in someone psyche that would allow them to do such a thing? I cannot fathom how this young boy’s mother is surviving this when my heart aches so much and he is not even my child. Come on people! This violence has to stop. It has to stop! Donations can be made on the website of Jackson Memorial Ryder Trauma Center for Michael and his family. He faces years of surgeries and rehabilitation. Please donate, and please pray. 2009-10-17T13:21:03+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/is_america_becoming_footloose/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/is_america_becoming_footloose/#When:12:25:22Z Do you remember the movie Footloose? Do you remember the crazy people in the movie who were burning books, and the townspeople nut jobs who did not allow dancing because it was bad? Well, America is becoming like that. I see it on my television set every day. From women spouting off about forcing people to eat healthy foods, to others spouting off about regulating everything under the sun, we are quickly becoming a nation of loons. And yes, I am probably going to be accused of offending people with mental illness, but actually I am not offending people with true mental illness… Do you remember the movie Footloose?

And yes, I am probably going to be accused of offending people with mental illness, but actually I am not offending people with true mental illness. I am talking about the crazy lunatics who are in Washington on down who have decided they have to right to tell Americans what they can and cannot do in every facet of their lives. This is nuts! Look at Footloose, see the maniacs burning books, banning dancing, and think if you are one of them. Every American has the God-given right to pursue happiness and if that means eating 100 Big Macs, than so be it. You have no right to tell them otherwise. You also have no right to intrude on our lives, and you know who you are. Leave us alone! Carrie Nation. Does that name ring a bell? She was the woman who decided alcohol was bad for you and convinced an entire nation, America, to prohibit the sale of alcohol. Well, we all know how that turned out. You crazy people keep it up and you will see a backlash like nothing you have ever witnessed. We have had about all we can take and we are getting ready to blow our stacks! The more you harp on people about eating right, the worse they eat. The more you harp about smoking, the more they smoke, And so on, and so on, and so on. You are violating my rights and the rights of every American to pursue happiness! Get off my TV! Get out of my life! Again, you know who you are. Life is hard enough without the constant pressure of you people in Washington, and you pundits, and you do-gooders who dog my television set every night with your incessant crap. It is not the government’s job to see that I have self-control. It is not the government’s job to control every aspect of my life, to regulate this and regulate that, pay for this and pay for that, mandate this and mandate that. Give me a break! Leave the Czar’s to Russia. Get the women who whine about obesity off of my television, women who have never had a weight problem in their lives. Stop giving the crazy people the microphone. Stop putting them on my television set.  I am waiting for my Nobel Peace Prize for this article.

Those who watch Fox News knew the truth. We knew he was really extremely on the left. But, he managed to fool a lot of people and ended up getting elected. The problem is that most of the country is in the middle, while in the middle we lean to the left and right, only the minority is truly extremely on the left or right.

But, he managed to fool a lot of people and ended up getting elected. The problem is that most of the country is in the middle, while in the middle we lean to the left and right, only the minority is truly extremely on the left or right. Those who are extremely on the left and right will never get it. Proof of this is the current health care debate, for lack of a better word. Truly you cannot have a debate if one side will not produce an argument, which is what we are getting from the administration. They are not being transparent. They are not forthcoming with the hidden agenda in this plan. America no longer trusts the government, if it ever did, and the now actually fears what will come next. We have been lied to and railroaded so much over the last six months, we are numb. It is time for those on the extreme left to stop lying. Stop name calling. Stop putting down honest, hard working Americans. People are angry. They are not angry because Obama is black. They are angry because Obama is an extreme liberal and they were fooled. They are angry because they were promised transparency and instead they get townhall meetings with pre-seleted questions and pre-determined answers. They are angry because the media continues to be in the tank for the administration instead of revealing the truth, digging for the truth, questioning the government as they should, and being honest and forthright with the people. They are angry because this administration is spending faster than it can be printed, selling our country off to China and other foreign countries, cramming things down our throats without so much as a how do you do. They are angry because when they voice their concerns and opinions they are being called “stupid, nazi’s, racists, liers, KKK,” and more. What right does any elected official have to call those who elect them names? If Americans do not take this anger to the polls in November of 2012 and remember those who put them down and ignored their feelings, opinions, questions, ideas, then all hope will be lost. This country cannot run well with one side holding all the power, whether that side be the right or the left. Cooler heads are needed. Pelosi, Reid, all those who have mocked, made fun of, called stupid, etc., need to go and in November of 2012 we can really make our voices be heard with our vote. I am predicting now that next year will see illegal immigrants become American citizens even though they broke the law. I am predicting groups such as Acorn will rise with even more power and corruption than they possess right now. I am predicting more job loss, more crime, more homes lost to foreclosure. Prove my predictions wrong and vote these people out of office once and for all. Insist that those we elect to represent us truly do represent us and not themselves and their own special interests. Believe me, this is not the change you thought you were going to get! 2009-08-13T10:22:14+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/obama_turn_the_water_pumps_in_california_back_on/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/obama_turn_the_water_pumps_in_california_back_on/#When:04:58:36Z To save a 2 inch minnow, the administration is starving California farmers of water. It has turned off the water pumps and is drying out millions of acres of rich farmland to save a minnow. Who cares that the people are suffering immensely. Suddenly in this season of “change,” people are not as important as fish. Is this just about the most absurd thing you have ever heard? Spotted owls, minnows, what next? California farmers put food on the table of millions of Americans. This has got to stop! The administration needs to turn those pumps back on and they need to do it now!… To save a 2 inch minnow, the administration is starving California farmers of water.

California farmers put food on the table of millions of Americans. This has got to stop! The administration needs to turn those pumps back on and they need to do it now! Perhaps they don’t realize that they are losing a large tax base because if the farmers cannot grow food, then they can’t pay taxes. How amazing that the White House has a nifty little garden. I guess if the minnow lived in Washington it would not be a problem. You cannot take not only jobs, but the complete livelihood of people away over a fish! This is nuts! There should be outrage. There might be outrage if anyone other than Sean Hannity were reporting on the story. Where is MSNBC, where is 60 minutes, where is the New York Times? Apparently, farmers being starved of water to grow their plants is not a big deal. Well, when they are eating that food grown in China, employing more Chinese people, a country where the standards are lax, then people start to get sick from the produce, more people need unemployment and welfare here because there are no jobs, perhaps then it will become a big deal. 2009-08-12T04:58:36+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/obamacare/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/obamacare/#When:10:30:30Z Imagine this scenario: Social Security and Medicare are invented. People are forced to pay for their “retirement.” The retirement age is set at 65. The reasoning behind this?

At the time Social Security and Medicare are created, life expectancy for the average American is 65, 66. Most people collect benefits for one year and then pass away. What about all the rest of their hard-earned money? It goes into the pot. Next, government starts “stealing” from Social Security and Medicare. Eureka! They have hit a gold mine. Uh oh, something unforeseen. People start to live longer. Medicine advances in leaps and bounds and life expectancy goes up to 75, with many people living well into their 80s, 90s, and even 100s. Suddenly, Social Security and Medicare are going bankrupt. All the programs the government has created using money from Social Security and Medicare that there were not supposed to touch, are draining the system. Conversatives call for privatization of Social Security. Liberals balk. Of course they balk, they have all these social programs being paid for with the money they are not supposed to touch. They need a new strategy. Enter - Obamacare. They cannot allow disabled and elderly people to draw their own money any longer, certainly not for long periods of time, they need to find a way to get rid of them. They try to pass a bill for Universal Health Care. Great concept, great idea you say. Everyone after all should get health care. Not so fast. Inside the bill is an amendment for “counseling” of the elderly to go into hospice or palliative care. In order words, death. Forget chemotherapy if you get cancer, forget those expensive operations and drugs, nope, you need to just go in the corner and die quietly. After all, you worked your ass off all your life to obtain retirement, but they really don’t want you to retire unless you have other money saved away. They don’t want you taking your Social Security or Medicare money back, they need that for young people. You are worthless now. You are expendable. You are no longer paying into the system and they want your money. You need to go into a corner and die quietly like an animal. If you are disabled and have been all your life, you have never paid into the system. To them, you are really worthless. You are a liability. Think about it America. These social progressive people came out of a Hollywood movie. Does anyone remember a movie where when you turned 18 you were terminated? I cannot remember the name of the movie, but at the time I thought it could never happen. Who would have thought science fiction could turn into real life? And if you oppose, you are slandered, called “crazy mobs,” accused of carrying swatiskas, accused of being racist, told you are insane, people should not listen to you. It is madness! But Americans are not the ones who have gone mad, Washington has gone mad. What has America done?  2009-08-09T10:30:30+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/healthcare_debate/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/healthcare_debate/#When:22:08:45Z I find it truly amazing that when everyday Americans express their concern over government spending and control, they are labeled “mobs,” accused of carrying swastikas, etc. Those in Washington who are supposed to be representing us, who in fact are representing themselves, have no right to refer to American citizens in this manner. The president has no right to tell people to stop objecting to his ideas and plans. We have every right to oppose government and make our voices heard… I find it truly amazing that when everyday Americans express their concern over government spending and control, they are labeled “mobs,” accused of carrying swastikas, etc. Those in Washington who are supposed to be representing us, who in fact are representing themselves, have no right to refer to American citizens in this manner.

Apparently, those in Washington have forgotten who pays their salaries. They are trying to cram healthcare reform down our throats without so much as reading the bill they are trying to pass, informing America of what is truly in the bill they are trying to pass, and deceiving Americans as to what their agenda will produce. They are slamming those that oppose and try to tell the truth. This is Obama’s America and we will not tolerate it. I am so tired of hearing that campaign promises mean nothing, that people say things to get elected and it is okay to deceive. It is not okay.  Those in Washington were elected based on these campaign promises and they have no right to turn their backs on them. We are headed for a showdown. In November of 2010, those in Washington will learn that the people in these townhall meetings are not “mobs,” but are in fact the very voters that will take away their positions in Washington. Maybe that will be the wakeup call Washington desperately needs. 2009-08-06T22:08:45+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/is_zookz_making_a_comeback/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/is_zookz_making_a_comeback/#When:21:59:22Z By Dashal.com On July 8th I posted the widely popular article Is Zookz The Next Napster?, my review about the Antiguan Company that offers unlimited downloads of music or movies for $9.95 or $17.95 for both.

Zookz then proceeded with their official launch on July 15th, full steam ahead, fueled by press from the 2007 WTO ruling. The negative press only helped feed Zookz’s popularity. So all was well on the soap, The Bold and the Zookz. Then on July 18th, the Zookz website suddenly went offline. I remember it well; it was right after Led Zepplin II and the beginning of Led Zepplin III. I immediately thought that their servers had crashed or were bogged down. Then, the hours crept slower than a night of Bingo fun at the old folk’s home. There was no site and Zookz issued no official statement.  It was just an empty browser that had once been filled with music that taunted “download me download me, come on you know you want to.” I looked like Humphrey Bogart slouched over a bottle of Scotch telling Sam “If she can stand it, I can. Play it. Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.” The only problem was, that scene where Ingrid Bergman walks in, wasn’t there (favorite scene). We finally hear from Zookz on the July 20th when they issued the following statement: “The ZookZ website service has been temporarily interrupted due to circumstances beyond our control. We’re sorry you can’t get the music and movies you love at this time. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again soon Due to the service interruption, ZookZ is returning all membership fees paid to date by our customers. Keep checking Twitter, Facebook and http://www.zookz.com for more details” Zookz gave no details, just the promise that they were working hard to get back online. Then naturally, since no details were given, blog posts hit the airwaves about the end of Zookz. Most posts worked under the assumption that Zookz had been shut down do to their misinterpretation of the WTO ruling between Antigua and the United States . I had many theories, some of which were later disproven (server crash etc.), and I figured that I would just drop it.  But, I should have known that it would just eat at me. What was bothering me so much is the assumption that the outage had to do with the WTO. Why would Antigua care? Why would they go so far as to issue a statement from their attorney? You would think that Antigua would welcome with open arms the potential tax revenue that Zookz could bring them.  However Antigua is like most other cash-starved countries, and their government is known for its shady operating, to say the very least. Why would they want Zookz shut down? I ruled out US involvement because it happened way too quickly.  Antiguan government involvement seems to be the only possible scenario that makes any sense. My theory is that perhaps there was another company trying to do provide a similar service and bring more revenue for the country.  This is all my own personal theory since I have no actual facts, and Zookz has been mum. They seem to only want to talk about how many movies and CDs they uploaded that week. Over the past week Zookz, has been aggressive with their Twittering and the Zookz’s Facebook fan page trying to keep their supporters and gain new ones. This all makes me wonder if Zookz can actually make a comeback.  I would think that a lot of companies would have trouble even if they were allowed to operate, but then again most companies aren’t Zookz. You simply cannot beat the price for unlimited downloads. If they do come back, something in which Zookz appears to have complete confidence, the actual WTO is going to play a pivotal role in the future of Zookz.  My personal bet is that they last over a year at best if they are able to make a return. Nothing great lasts forever, but if it does come back we should treat it preciously, like life. You never know when it is going to go away, so we should live each day to its fullest.  Meaning, crank up the hard drive, turn off your phone, and post a message on Twitter saying “I’m downloading, don’t bother me.” Nick Harrison – Creative Director for Dashal.com nharrison@dashal.com 2009-07-28T21:59:22+00:00 http://www.bertspost.com/site/obama_bumped/ http://www.bertspost.com/site/obama_bumped/#When:02:36:27Z NBC bumped Obama’s “news conference” to a later time so as not to interfere with their show, America’s Got Talent, because Susan Boyle will be opening the show.

This apparently surprised some of the women on the View. Apparently, America would rather be entertained than lied to yet again. I do not even understand why Obama calls them news conferences. They are not. He already has the questions in advance so the answers are written on his teleprompters. None of the questions asked are hard. They are all softball crap. It is basically another opportunity for Obama to get before America and attempt to con them into supporting his health care plan. Even though there really is no plan. America is not privy to the details. We are just supposed to follow blindly along with anything our government wants to do. And the democrats in congress and the senate will support the “plan” even though they don’t know what the plan is either. They will get a bill, no doubt over 1000 pages long, not read it, not read the amendments attached to it at the last minute, and sell America down the river again. It apparently does not matter that trillions of dollars we do not have continue to be spent. It apparently does not matter that Americans are against this - don’t read the bill just sign it thing. It apparently does not matter that we have been told how transparent our government would be, yet in fact it is more secretive than any other government before it. Nothing seems to matter to these people. We have no leader. We have a pusher. We are being pushed along, not led, into an abyss. It is stupifying. Obama gets on TV and says health care is not about him, but it truly is. It is all about what he wants. Not what the country wants. Not what is good for the country. Just what is good for Obama. We are in the midst of the most arrogant, egotistical government in all the world. We cannot even turn on our computers or television set without seeing Obama this and Obama that. Katie Couric interviews the president - what a joke. I doubt she will attempt to trip him up the way she did Sarah Palin. It is laughable. These people are all a big joke. Unfortunately, the joke is on America. Once a great nation, it is turning into the weakest nation on the planet in the blink of an eye. According to the predictions, the end of times would see a million man army on the march and no one around to stop it. Well, we have fed China to the world. People would look to amazing things in the heavens, this is a daily occurrence. All manner of plagues hit the world. Strife, turmoil, war, killing, maming, torture, it is all very plentiful. There is no real mention of America in the end of times and now we know why, because America is brought to her knees. Is this the end of times? Who knows for sure, but it is the end of America as being the shining beacon of hope to the world. What the liberal democrats are doing to America is the true crisis. We are being sold a bill of goods that in reality is worthless crap.  2009-07-23T02:36:27+00:00
