The USC Gamecock's recruiting class was ranked #12 by Rivals.com. We ended up with 14 four star recruits. After last season's extremely disappointing finish we'll see what happens. Expectations are at an all time low here.
On a more positive note who would have thought that the Gamecocks basketball team would be #2 in the SEC east have have a 16-5 record. I am impressed with what Coach Horn has been able to do in such a short time. Things are looking up for Gamecock basketball after those big last minutes wins against Florida and Kentucky. While I'm not usually a big basketball fan, games like this make you want to watch.

Secession/Nullification is back!
I thought South Carolina was the leader when it came to stuff like this. This is nothing new. In addition to the articles of secession proclaimed by the Confederate States of America, Virginia and Kentucky passed resolutions early on in this country's history when the Federal government tried to abuse its power in contravention to the Constitution. After the Southern War for Independence, Lincoln made crushed the seceding states and used the puppet governments installed in them to push through the 14 Amendment which spelled the death for state's rights by Federal courts now being able to impose their rule on the states. It is refreshing to see that state's are waking up to the abuse of power by the Federal government. Hopefully more states will wake up before it is too late.

Scary stuff
The current economic crisis coupled with the never ending "war on terror" has created a state of worry, panic, and frustration among the citizens of the many states. While congress shovels more money towards the groups that elected them and the Fed prints trillions of dollars, the people of these United State are growing restless and feel that the government is no longer representing them or their interests. There is a strong undercurrent of dissent and dissatisfaction with the political elite in this country. As I mentioned in my earlier post, nothing has changed between Bush and Obama. The politicians realize this growing opposition to the beltway's "business as usual" approach to government. People are waking up to the shame Federal Reserve System and realizing the politicians are slowly making us all indentured servants to the government. As more and more people awaken from their media and pornographically induced comas, and come to the realization all their freedoms are being taken from them, this serves as a major threat to the politically elite's power.
Obama has already suggested creating an army of brown shirts aka his "civilian security force," the implementation of which would be rather easy since the organization is already in place through groups such as ACORN and the like. Basically these groups could be used to "snitch" on the freedom loving people of these States should they voice any opposition to the ruling political elite.
Congress, aware of the great threat should political upheaval occur will be prepared to protect its own interests from its citizens by rounding them up and placing them into camps. Democrat Alcee Hasting of Florida has introduced HR 645 calling for concentration camps for civilians. Basically anyone who is labeled a "terrorist" (aka anyone with an opposing view of the government) shall be rounded up.
We are entering unprecedented times in this country.

What change?
Well the "stimulus" bill passed today in the House with every single of the 188 republicans and 11 democrats voting against it. I wonder if all those Obamamaniacs realize they have been had yet? The six hundred some page bill contained more pork and earmarks than any stimulus. Let us list all the change that has taken place:
Bush-pushed through a bailout bill by threatening disaster
Obama-pushing through "stimulus" bill by threatening disaster
Bush-waged an unnecessary war
Obama-planning on continuing the unnecessary war and expanding it in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Bush-out of control spending and grown government
Obama-out of control spending and growing government
Congress is still inept and ignoring the real needs of their constituents while they pander to special interest, businesses, and international interests.
Where were all these "brave" house republicans when Bush was ramming the bailout bill through 6 months ago?
Obama and the liberals now own this unstimulating bill in fee simple absolute. When it does nothing (and it will do nothing), they will have no one to blame but themselves and the people will remember this. No real issues have been debated. There has been no debate over the federal reserve system, no discussion revoking our "free trade" agreements, and no discussion about closing the boarder.
The line today is the "government is spending $900 billion of your tax dollars." In reality your tax dollars are already spent. This money is all printed. We will not feel the taxing effects of this inflation for probably a year from now. This country is fast becoming the Weimar Republic. Soon we'll be able to play with our money like these German children once did.

There is going to be much civil unrest coming in this country. People are fed up with empty promises from empty suits and are soon not going to take it any more.
Looks like that this bill will pass in the senate with all the spineless politicians there.

Liberals show their cowardice again
So the savior, Obama, is now President and the democrats have large majorities in both houses of congress. So why then are they so concerned about conservative input and votes for their so called "stimulus package." The reason: BLAME. When this plan doesn't work and inflation spirals out of control in a year or two, the economy gets worse, and employment shoots higher, they don't want all this on their shoulders. Obama was all about some bipartisanship before taking oath and now he is threatening a culture war if people keep dissenting against his policies. How DECISIVE Mr. President!! Obama should be welcoming these ideas in the spirit of bipartisanship. Of course did anyone really expect this, other than his crowds of mindless, ignorant Obama idol worshipers. I laugh every time some Obama supporter says how great things are going to be, until you ask them how long they have lived in a shit hole. They usually think for a minute and realize that they have been promised a better life for years from liberals and yet they are in the same position. Perhaps, maybe they will realize that the only person who can get you ahead in this world is yourself.
Of course the petty feuding between the two parties is nothing but a mere distraction from what is really ailing the economy: the Federal Reserve System and our corrupt political system. Politics today is about money, pure and simple. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. It was like this in the "old days" as well, but that was also before the central government started meddling in the affairs of the states and people's lives. The politicians are so disconnected from their constituents and are beholden to none but the corporate lobbyists and the almighty (no so almighty any more) dollar. If politicians really cared about the auto industry, they would raise tariffs on import autos. They would end the so called "free trade" agreements. They would put this country's interests before the interests of "free trade" and the rest of the world. This keeps production at home and bring back our industrial base. Pat Buchanan said it best, in describing the United States as nothing more than becoming a colony for the rest of the world.
This administration's "stimulus" plan will not work, just as FDR's "New Deal" (Scam) did not work in restoring the economy. What it will succeed in doing is cementing hundreds of thousands of more people into government dependency in an effort to keep liberals in power.

Laughing at liberals
Does NBC even think before it acts? They booted Ann Coulter from the "Today" Show because they disapproved of her book analyzing the bias towards conservatives in the media. They pretty much made her point for her. Now they recant and have rescheduled for tomorrow, but they've already embarrassed themselves.
In addition, the whole senate mess is almost comical to watch unfold. A sitting governor has rightfully appointed a senator to fill an empty seat and now the members of his own party will not seat him. Yet there are is no media crying racism, rather the media is downplaying the issue in hopes to not dampen the Obama inauguration. The media quickly and quietly swept the Richardson scandal under the rug. The liberals in congress are refusing to seat a man with more experience than Obama to the senate merely because it is not the pick Harry Reid wants. Sure he is tainted with the Blago scandal, but that doesn't change the fact he was legally and properly appointed by the governor and it is not the Senate majority leader's job to pick replacements for open senate seats. The media is officially a lapdog for this incoming administration and it is quite disturbing. It is as if the main stream media will be the new state media, quick to criticize anyone critical of the administration and never criticizing the sitting president for fear they will lose access to him. This was illustrated when Obama kick media who was critical of him off his jet during the campaign.

My thoughts on this Bowl Season
Well, the Gamecocks once again did not fail to disappoint. That was probably the most embarrassing loss I have ever seen by USC. I had to shut the game off early. We didn't even try. I mean two turnovers in the first two possessions, should have been a sign. I am quite happy with the fact that Mississippi and Vandy won though! Once again the SEC shows its strength as a conference (except for USC obviously). Bama was an unexpected loss! But I have to give it to Utah, 13-0 beating a team that was #1 in the nation for two weeks in a row. Once again there is a need for a national playoff system of some sort. Unfortunately there is too much money in the BCS system as it exists now and Fox has the contract until 2010 so nothing will be happening until then. Once again Ohio State lost, proving that if they were not in the weakest conference in the nation, they would not start off the season every year ranked in the top 15. Florida-Oklahoma should be a great game and I can't wait to watch it!
With football season coming to an end I'll have a bunch of free Saturdays with time to waste.
