Olberman And Company Get Punked!
Check out this link to Pat Dollard’s site where the Texas Tea Party invites Keith and Company to their party later this month by making a very good counterpoint to Keith’s extremely lame point:

So, as Bill O’Reilly would quip: “What say you, Keith”?

Obama’s Promise To “Fundamentally Change The United States” One Year Later
The following is a partial list of what has happened over the past year in our country. It is written from a 20/20 hindsight perspective, that if these things had been said a year ago, would anyone have believed it could happen one short year later. It is not my list; it is a list spoken by a fellow American but, it is really America’s list. All additions to what were spoken are in italics. I have also added names or links to explain some of the references.
If I Would Have Told You by Glenn Beck
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/33794/
If I would have told you last year at this time that the government would own General Motors, Chrysler, and many of the banks and financial institutions and AIG, that they would fire the CEOs, that they would threaten the banks, that they would shut them down unless they would take that money, that they would hire good people for places like AIG and pay them a dollar to fix the problem, a dollar a year, these people would volunteer; but the government would promise them bonuses if they would just work for that dollar a year to fix the problem. When that year came up, they would not only (not) give them that bonus, they would vilify them, send their minions out to protest in front of their homes for even wanting the bonus that they were promised by the government and then people in Washington would then set out to have a specific tax drawn up just for those people, would you have believed it?
Not only would they take over GM and fire the first guy (Rick Wagoner), the president would fire a CEO but then the second individual that they put in place of the first guy, he would be fired (Fritz Henderson) and the third person under Barack Obama’s term, the third CEO of General Motors (is Ed Whitacre). No one in the media would report that that guy is the man who helped Rahm Emanuel make $16 million in one deal.
(http://online.barrons.com/article/SB124484666794611291.html It was Emanuel’s largest payday since he had left politics in 1998 for a stint as an investment banker. In two years, he amassed more than $16 million.)
If I told you a year ago… that there would be a 9/11 Truther (Van Jones), a guy who said the United States government blew up those buildings, a self avowed communist, a guy who is speaking in prison anti-cop, who defended a guy who point blank shot a cop in the head, if I said he would be a high level advisor to the president of the United States, would you believe it? (Just Google this one; there is too much to put in just one link about this guy!)
If I said the president would come out in a speech and say I have absolutely no information but the cops (Cambridge police / Sgt. James Crowley) acted stupidly because they caught a friend of the president appearing to break into his own home (Henry Louis Gates), (turns out) the cops didn’t act stupidly, they just did their job and the president would never apologize, instead he would invite them all for a beer summit and use it as a learning experience about diversity, would you believe it?
If I would have told you… that the most frequent visitor of the White House, over the Secretary of State and everybody else, is a labor union president (Andy Stern) who has repeatedly said “workers of the world unite”; and “we know we’ve got a lot of illegal members, illegal aliens in our membership”, and said, “yeah, but we also represent American workers”, that he would be the most frequent visitor at the White House, would you have believed it?
(If I would have told you) That the president of the EU (Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy) would say that 2009 was the year of establishing a global government through the EU and that the climate change treaty would be the next step in one world government.
(If I would have told you) that there would be a call for the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency by several massive countries and that the leader of Russia (Russian President Dmitry Medvedev) would hold up a coin in front of the cameras and say here’s a prototype of the new global currency.
(If I would have told you) that in government structured bailouts, bondholders would lose their legal status and their investments in favor of labor union payoffs and the courts would say, “Hmmm, yeah, okay.”
(If I would have told you) That you could lose your home and property through eminent domain and eminent domain would expand in staggering ways. (http://www.expertlaw.com/library/real_estate/eminent_domain.html )
(If I would have told you) That California would decide to levy a 10% tax on its people and insist it’s not a tax; it’s just a forced loan. That they would issue IOUs instead of tax refunds. ( http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-state-tax31-2009oct31,0,2028140.story )
(If I would have told you) That New York would say by the end of the year they would be broke. That New York would issue retroactive taxes. That a tax fund for the poorest of Americans would not really be a tax refund. Instead those poorest of Americans would find out many months later that they had to pay income tax on that tax refund.
If I told you that the symbol of capitalism, the Empire State building, would be lit in colors of communist China (to ‘celebrate 60 years of communism!), would you have believed me?
(http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hUZamhqvPGVrYZpGq_clUpC7dAUg)
(If I would have told you) That the hockey stick chart would be discredited as would its founder along with another leader of the global climate change movement who manipulated data, that they deleted e‑mails and information to avoid Freedom of Information Act, that these same scientists would do everything they could to discredit the peer review process to make sure it remained pure for their ideological purposes, and yet the media wouldn’t report on it and we’d still be headed to Copenhagen with a president the who was going to present a 17% reduction in carbon emissions for our country.
(If I would have told you) that our science czar, John Holdren would be someone who called for forced abortions and sterilization through the drinking water, who said that the redistribution of wealth would be necessary and it would happen through the environmental movement. (http://zombietime.com/john_holdren/ )
(If I would have told you) that the diversity czar (Mark Lloyd) at the FCC, if I just told you a year ago there would even be a diversity czar at the FCC, would you have believed me? That the diversity czar at the FCC would say Americans have to decide soon which Americans would have to step down from their positions in order to give others a chance.
That this same man said the revolution in Venezuela was incredible and that we should model our FCC and our programs after Venezuela and the revolution.
(http://thenationalscene.com/fccs-diversity-czar-mark-lloyd-racist-comments-praises-hugo-chavez/)
(If I would have told you) that the U.S. would have a two‑day summit to discuss the role of government in journalism and be discussing a government takeover of journalism and that no journalist would actually report on that.
(If I would have told you) that they would hold a job summit and not invite the Chamber of Commerce.
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/02/obama-policy-critics-not-invited-to-jobs-summit/ )
(If I would have told you) that two uninvited people (Tareq and Michaele Salahi) could get into the White House state dinner, chat with the president, be near the prime minister of the largest democracy on the planet and that the response from the White House would be, yeah, we need to do a better job with security.
(If I would have told you) that a U.S. congressman (John Conyers) would tell the American people that it’s unreasonable to expect people in congress to read bills, and he would say that because our congress would pass two bills over 1,000 pages, that no one in congress had read. One of them was over 2,000 pages.
(http://blog.sunlightfoundation.com/2009/07/27/rep-conyers-dont-read-the-bill/)
(If I would have told you) that a job creating stimulus bill would be written, not read by congress but not even written by congress. It would be co-written by the Apollo Alliance, a special interest group whose New York chief was a co‑founder of the Weather Underground ( Jeff Jones) and no one would care!
(http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/jeff-jones-co-founder-weather-underground-wrote-stimulus-bill/blog-145881/)
(If I would have told you) that people in congress (Democratic Reps. Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson and Bobby Rush) would openly be praising Castro, Chavez, that the president would receive …an anti‑American book and a photo op from Hugo Chavez.
(http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/04/chavez-gifts-ob.html)
(If I would have told you) that the president would have a one‑hour private meeting where Vladimir Putin “would teach the president the history of the Cold War”.
(If I would have told you) that our president would give an iPod of his speeches to the queen of England.
(If I would have told you) that he would send the bust of Winston Churchill, which was a gift from the people of England; when the prime minister came over that our president would say to him, hey, by the way thanks, but you can take this back to him now and the prime minister would say to him, no, no, no, that was a gift from the people of England to you and you can keep it in one of your museums; we gave it to you on September 11th. No, no, that’s okay, (but they would)… box it up and ship it back!
(If I would have told you) that there would be hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered in a true grassroots event in a National Mall in D.C. and the media would not only dismiss them but the government, the president and the media would deem them a danger to the United States.

(If I would have told you) that healthcare would be at a 36% approval rating, which is lower than Hillary Care but that those in congress and the White House would still be jamming it down your throats.
(If I would have told you) that the chief of the treasury who oversees the IRS cheated on his taxes as would almost everyone else in the cabinet.

If I told you a year ago when gold was about $800 an ounce that it would be at $1200 an ounce, would you have believed it?
(If I would have told you) that Dubai which a year ago was bailing out our banks would be on the edge of bankruptcy.
If I told you we’re going to lose 4 million jobs and the media would report that the White House has created or saved a million jobs even though in their evidence you have to find their evidence on a $20 million redesigned website where it would show that a good portion of these jobs were in about 400 districts that don’t even exist. If I told you that, would you have believed it?
(If I would have told you) that the president would bow down in deference to leaders of Arab and Asian nations, would you have believed it possible?

If I would have told you that there would be a Muslim terrorist (Nidal Malik Hasan-a psychiatrist!) and that he would shoot and kill soldiers at Fort Hood, would you have believed it?
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-12/03/content_12581440.htm
And that Hasan was on the Homeland Security Panel?
If I told you then that, yes, the president will make a statement but he will spend two minutes prior to giving a shout out and talking about the conference he had with the American Indian, would you have believed it? If I then told you after that two minutes he would then say, oh, and also there’s been a shooting of our military but let’s not jump to conclusions. And then his Homeland Security director (Janet Napolitano) would be over in the Middle East and she would say, don’t worry, we’re working on things to stop the violence against Muslims in America, would you have believed it?

Looking at that list, do you recognize the country that you live in? Is this the same country that you lived in a year ago today? I don’t think so. I don’t recognize it.
I can be wrong on an awful lot of things and I have been wrong on an awful lot of things. But when will people in this country, when will the media at least say, gosh, it looks like the direction of our country and the one this guy keeps laying out, gee, some of those things seem to be happening. When will anyone in the media even notice how far we have come?
