Social Security

2012-01-27T19:21:00.000-08:00

Obviously, something has to be done to keep the promise of Social Security. The government is now paying out more than it's taking in as far as Social Security is concerned. This will only get worse as the next wave of retirees start collecting.
I've come up with a few ideas that could help all those that have paid into or are presently paying into the system.
(1) Grandfather anyone already collecting their Social Security (age 65 and over).
(2) Anyone that has not paid into it should be cut off from receiving any future funds from Social Security and either put in some other program or dropped completely.
(3) All fraud should be heavily prosecuted with both huge fines ($25,000 min.) and jail sentences (5 years min.
(4) No one living outside of the United States should receive any payments.
(5) Anyone born after 1950 that has paid into the system and will start collecting their Social Security in the near future should have any earnings in excess of $24,000/ year (gross) deducted from their Social Security payments.
(6) Anyone born after 1990 should have half of their Social Security deduction deposited in a separate fund that purchases U.S. Treasuries and that would accumulate throughout their working lifetime. They then would become eligible for half of their entitlement from Social Security and the other half would come from their accumulation of U.S. Treasuries.
(7) Anyone that is not a citizen must not only pay into the system but would not be entitled to collect from it. This is the cost of the privilege of working in America but not willing to become a citizen.
(8) Anyone working in an elected office for the government cannot collect any payments while employed as such during the years that they work in those positions (regardless of age).
(9) A new fund should be set up just for Social Security deposits. This money from this fund could be borrowed by the government at the prevailing interest rate at the time of borrowing and the interest rate would fluctuate monthly to stay in line with whatever the prevailing rate is at that time. These loans should not exceed a period longer than 10 years before being fully repaid and backed by real assets of the borrower.
(10) All employers must pay their share of Social Security for every employee, whether "on the books" or not.
(11) Anyone may "opt out" of being part of the Social Security system, thus never have a claim to collect payments in future years. However, they still must pay 50% of their normal deduction anyway.
These changes could certainly shore up this burden on the U.S. budget obligations.
If you can think of any other ways to help, please let me know.

Something is really wrong...

2012-01-18T06:50:00.000-08:00

We've all been watching the Republican "candidates" not only destroy each other but bring discredit to the Republican party, thus making none of them capable of beating Obama in the coming election.
To make matters worse; on Sept. 6th, Obama will be nominated by the Democratic party. He is unopposed even though most of the party either is totally disappointed by him or is in fear of what he can do to their careers as he's thrown so many of his supporters "under the bus" already.
And of course, let's not forget about the Supreme Court decision that permits "Super PACS" from spending unlimited sums on their choice of candidate. Obama has raised over a billion dollars in his "Super PACS" and has Acorn already intimidating voters in some areas of the country.
Doesn't something seem strange about all of this ? Are the American people being conned by an already inept government ?
At this point, we certainly can't vote for Obama and the potential candidates in the other party are all poor choices for President. So, what is one to do ?
If Obama gets re-elected, it's the end of our democracy and the American way of life. He will make us into just another copy of a European country and let illegals and muslims run rampant. He will break many companies with his Obamacare and other agencies and their restrictions as well as making America more vulnerable with a smaller armed force to protect us.
Isn't it time to revolt and force our government back to the way our forefather's intended it to be ?
What are you doing about it ? Are you content to keep your head buried in the sand and drink the cool-aide ??? Then you deserve what's coming in the near future. Prepare yourself for your income to decrease, your taxes to increase, prices of everything to go way up, your "freedoms" to be redefined and your entire way of life and standard of living to radically change for the worse (unless of course you're one of the non-contributors in our society).
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS..................dammit !!!

OBAMA'S NEXT BLUNDER

2011-12-22T17:24:00.000-08:00

Well, Obama screwed up again.......we all saw this coming.
In order to be able to say that he did something positive while in office, he's going to flaunt how he "ended the war in Iraq" and how he brought our troops home.
First of all, the "war" in Iraq was never declared and we should have never been there in the first place (Bush's blunder).
Second of all, once we're in, why leave a job half done ? We're still in So. Korea, So. Viet Nam, Japan, Germany, etc. many, many years after our conflicts and wars are over. What was different about Iraq?
Now, within days of our leaving, it's business as usual in Iraq, with bombs and suicide bombers all over the place.
Everyone (except an incompetent President Obama) knew that once he announced our departure dates, they just had to sit back and wait. In addition to civil strife breaking out, this is an opportunity for our enemy, Iran to move in and further establish another stronghold of terrorism.
What a waste of lives and money..............and we're still fighting another undeclared, unwinnable war in Afghanistan. Why don't we just let those "sand monkeys" kill each other off and resolve their own problems ?
No one in that region (the Arab states) can be trusted nor are any of them our friends or allies.
It's bad enough that Obama can't run this country, he certainly won't listen to his advisors and is trying to run the world. What a waste his term in office has been...............
Of course he'll say, "I killed Bin Laden and his second in command, I brought Health Care to everyone, I ended the war and brought our troops home......everything else is Congresses fault."
The world is in a very delicate position with the uncertainty in Europe, in No. Korea, in the Middle East, and certainly our own economy. If we don't solve our own problems by getting rid of Obama and the present Congress, we're headed for the same fall as Europe is heading for.
And, let's not forget the systematic infiltration of islam in both Europe and the United States.
The Middle East wars have cost us more than if we had housed, clothed and fed everyone at and below the poverty level as well as all of the homeless for many, many years. What about all of the troops coming home now ? Are there jobs for them ? Is there a place to live for them ? Is there any compensation for putting their lives on the line for the rest of us ? The answer is NO ! Most of them are on their own.
This regime has to be changed and we might get the chance next November (assuming the ballot boxes aren't stuffed with dead people's votes and illegal's multiple votes, all coordinated by Obama's thugs, ACORN (that gets millions in government grants).
To sum up....................Obama is a failure, do not let him continue to destroy this country.

Fixing Congress

2011-12-11T08:23:00.000-08:00

As of today, our Congress has a 17% approval rating. This is the lowest since records were kept on this (1974).
Obviously, Congress is no longer representing the people of the United States. Congress is divided between two parties that refuse to listen to each other and do what's right for the country rather than themselves.
This is understandable (not moral) in the fact that one can become very wealthy as a Congress member. However, the discussion about Congressional corruption is another subject.

Here are a few suggestions to make our Representatives and Senators more responsible to us:
(1) Since they spend the majority of their time in fund raising for re-election, contributions should be only from individual living persons and limited to no more than $100,000 per person. This would limit their campaign "blitzes" of misinformation.
(2) Congress shall meet for no more than 8 months of the year. The rest of the time they required to go among the people of their district(s) to know what the problems are and to come up with solutions when Congress meets.
(3) After every vote, they must go before the people in their district(s) to justify their vote and position. This would help keep them from voting for things they haven't even discussed and expose them to their voters.
(4) Cut back their salaries to 70% of what they're paid now and limit their time to no more than 200 hours per year with lobbyists.
(5) Limit their time in office to no more than two terms. This would minimize career politicians, thus allowing new ideas to be brought forth in future Congresses.
(6) Most of all, any member of Congress, their family or friends that is proven to have profited in any way, be prosecuted, serve a jail term, pay a large fine and be banned from any form of politics for life.

These six suggestions won't completely solve the problem that we have with Congress, but it's a good start in getting Congress to do what's best for our country rather than what's best for them.
If you have any additional suggestions, I'd like to hear from you.

2011-11-29T12:13:00.000-08:00

This is the longest that the U.S. has ever been in an UNDECLARED WAR in it's entire history.
What is the height of stupidity is the fact that we give Pakistan tens of billions of dollars to "buy" their friendships and support. Most of this money goes into the pockets of their leaders and the rest goes into training camps where the Pakistani army trains Al Quada and Taliban to fight against Americans.
Although the news reports on the U.N. efforts in both Iraq and Afghanistan, in truth it's primarily the U.S. troops that are fighting these wars.
With our expertise in operating the drones, why can't we wipe out our enemy ??? Could it be that we are afraid that Pakistan will use their nukes on us or Europe or even Israel ? Why are we letting them blackmail us ???
First of all, the days of "conventional war" are past. Countries all over the world are "gearing up" for WW III.
China, Russia, Iran, No. Korea, etc. are building their nuclear arsenals, delivery systems and armies in preparation for the nest world war.
In the meantime, Obama wants to reduce us militarily. Since one drone, it's maintenance and operator cost less than 20 troops (with their weapons and support systems) in the field, why can't we slash hundreds of billions from our budget (debt) and use more of these drones ? There is no need to have troops on the ground in order to fight a war these days. Between bombers, jet fighters, helicopter raids and of course drones, we could destroy the enemy easily. If we stop rebuilding these countries that we're at "war" with, there are more billions that we could slash from our expenditures.
All things being said, Congress can reach it's goal of "cutting back" as well as declare WAR so we can proceed with finishing it. This way, we could bring back our service people and use some of these savings to rebuild our country, thus producing jobs for the returning troops.
This amounts to:
(1) Cutting spending
(2) Winning a war
(3) Strengthening our economy
(4) Having American troops protecting America
By now, I hope that you realize that everyone in Washington must be replaced as they're not only corrupt but incompetent as well. They can only get away with what they're doing (or not doing) if we continue to let them.

Corruption in our Gov't.

2011-11-14T09:12:00.000-08:00

Last night, on CBS's "60 Minutes" program, another layer of the corruption in our gov't. was revealed.
Insider trading of stocks is against the law and punishable by a fine AND jail time.
This applies to everyone of us with the exception of our Congress.
In the "60 Minutes" exposure, several of our Representatives were challenged about stock trades that they made immediately after receiving INSIDER INFORMATION.
If a company were to give a Congressperson a gift of (let's say) $10,000 to vote for (or against a bill that might favor that company), that would be against the law. However, if a company were to inform any of our Representatives or Senators about a coming development and they could then place stock trades accordingly, that would be legal.
Haven't you ever wondered how someone is elected to Congress with a net worth of a few hundred thousand dollars and ends up becoming a multi-millionaire ?
A bill is presented every session to disallow this. That bill has only six (yes 6) members of Congress that are supporting it. The bill is immediately thrown out for that session.
If you saw the program that I'm referring to, Nancy Pelosi is caught by surprise when asked about the $1 million that she and her husband made on such an insider trade. She is at a loss for words...........BUSTED
Meanwhile, the rest of us are forced to lose money in our 401K and other retirement plans while Congress is raking in millions of dollars towards their net worth.
This is just one of the corruptions taking place in our gov't. No wonder we're listed as the 5th most corrupt country in the world.

Politically incorrect dealing with current matters

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Show me the money

Aren't you thoroughly disgusted by now with this administration ?
After listening to Obama appointee, Janet Nepalitano tell the nation that the federal gov't. couldn't start any new projects and that FEMA was almost broke, I was really pissed off.
Over the past two and a half years, this administration has squandered hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to build infrastructure and buildings in foreign countries as well as contribute our dollars to foreign armies and support military actions that are none of our business.
Now that we have had numerous disasters in this country, there seems to be no more money for Americans.
I've gradually revised my observation that Obama was a socialist......he's an outright communist. Under his (lack 0f) leadership, he has systematically kept this country from recovering from a recoverable recession.
He continues to expand government to exert more control over our lives and freedoms.
After re-reading "The Mouse That Roared", i believe that if just one small state like Vermont or Rhode Island were to declare war on Washington, they would get billions of dollars thrown at them like we do for foreign nations.
It's time to withdraw from the federal government and divide the country into states, and leave Washington, D.C. to rule itself without interfering with the rest of us.
The Obama mantra these days must be "Dollars for enemies, none for Americans".

Employment ???????

2011-11-11T05:01:00.000-08:00

You do realize that governments don't create jobs; the private and corporate sectors do. However, governments can halt job creation by regulations and laws.
The unemployment numbers in the United States are based on those collecting unemployment payments. These numbers do not include those that have stopped collecting and are still out of work as well as those that were self-employed. Since there isn't that many more layoffs left, the unemployment number should go down just because, eventually, everyone that is eligible to collect unemployment payment, will eventually drop off the rolls until there is no one collecting and then the unemployment number will be ZERO.
The truth is that as long as this administration can keep people unemployed, it can get their vote in the next election with Obama promising millions of jobs if he's re-elected.
Right now, there are thousands of jobs available in Williston, North Dakota. Do you think that this administration is doing anything about promoting these jobs or helping the unemployed get these jobs ? Of course not as it wouldn't be in the best interest of Obama and his band of thugs.
Another huge source of employment has just been stopped by Obama himself. The Trans Canada Pipeline will not be allowed for the time being. This project would employ over a million people across the United States in directly and indirectly related jobs. Obama made a statement yesterday, saying that he will not permit the Trans Canada pipeline until he's been re-elected. This way he can promise jobs to the unemployed and "buy" their vote.
The Trans Canada Pipeline
The Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Project is an approximate 2,673-kilometre (1,661-mile), 36-inch crude oil pipeline that would begin at Hardisty, Alberta and extend southeast through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. It would incorporate a portion of the Keystone Pipeline (Phase II) through Nebraska and Kansas to serve markets at Cushing, Oklahoma before continuing through Oklahoma to a delivery point near existing terminals in Nederland, Texas to serve the Port Arthur, Texas marketplace.

This would be the largest project of its kind ever to take place in North America and the United States. I applaud Mr. Obama for helping us not only by keeping people out of work, but by keeping us foreign oil dependent. If I want to destroy this country, then Obama's got my vote............

The "Great One"

2011-11-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

Isn't Obama proud that the air support that he authorized, helped with the fall of the tyrant in Libya. Now the flag of Al-Qaeda flies over Libya's capitol.........good job Obama, helping enemies of the U.S.

On another matter; the Solyndra bankruptcy is starting to look pretty bad for Obama. He personally pushed through $525 Million of taxpayer money to Solyndra and now they're bankrupt. An investigation is taking place and we are prohibited from seeing the corruption in this case. Obama has threatened to use Executive Privilege in order to NOT release his e-mails to the head of Solyndra, who by the way was a major contributor to Obama's re-election. In addition, Obama wants the e-mails suppressed because they implicate him in "under-the-table" cash "kickbacks" to him in the sum of millions of taxpayer dollars deposited in his offshore account.
Besides his efforts to bring down the United States, he is lining his pockets with our money.
Does this sound familiar ??? Every leader of a Middle Eastern country has been given tens of millions of dollars (as foreign aid) and they have pocketed it for their own fortunes (Iraq, Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Nigeria, etc.).
No wonder that several organizations that track international corruption have all said that the United States is the 5th most corrupt country in the world...
I suppose you want to re-elect Obama so he can stash more of your money in his private account. How do you think that this man has become a multi-millionaire ? Ans: He steals from everywhere that he goes...an example is that as a "community organizer", his organization went broke. Could it be that he embezzled their fund too ?
By the way, a lot of your Congressmen also get kickbacks from companies that they support in the form of homes, boats, cash, scholarships for their kids, etc.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama keeps pulling an "Evita Peron" on us by spending taxpayer dollars on expensive clothing and jewelry and having lavish parties.
Obama acts more like a dictator than a President......and you want him to continue. The real truth about this failure of a President will all come out after he is no longer President of the United States. It's up to you to have four more years of your money being stashed by him and other corrupt leaders or for us to have a new start with someone else. Notice that even though the Democrats have other more qualified people than Obama to run against him, no one dare. Obama is relying on "Chicago style" voting (illegals, dead people, uninformed 18-30 voters, votes by the elderly by their caregivers, homeless, welfare mothers, etc.). If you include the black vote, this is how he won last time (see ACORN, his private army).
Haven't you had enough of this fraud of a man yet ??? Some members of the Electoral College have already sworn to re-elect him. I wonder what their payoff is...

On voting...

2011-10-28T11:31:00.000-07:00

Next year we all have to go to the polls to vote for a President and Vice President of the United States of America.
First of all, the Democrats can't find anyone to run against Obama ; second, the Republicans are destroying any credibility that their candidates might have in running against Obama.
The big issue is that actually there's no need to go vote.........
YOUR VOTE DOES NOT COUNT !!!
Even though the Presidential candidates names are on the ballot, your vote is ignored. Only the Electoral College has the right to vote for the President and Vice President. The vote of the people can be completely ignored by members of the Electoral College, as well as their votes can be bought.
So, with that in mind, what's the sense in all this "campaigning" and voting ? Could it be another great distraction from revolting against Washington ?
If you do vote, VOTE EARLY and VOTE OFTEN...just like the illegals do. And remember, you don't get to vote for the President (Obama does).

The absurdity of it all...

2011-10-24T04:55:00.000-07:00

This whole Presidential candidate thing has gotten out of hand.
All we see is a bunch of people running from state to state in what they're calling "debates" for a chance to "badmouth" each other and present some sort of plan that might or might not work, assuming Congress will let it. No matter who "wins" any of these debates, they have each diminished the credibility of the others by the time it's over.
It really doesn't matter who ends up being the Republican candidate...as long as they can beat Obama.
The Democrats are just as ridiculous in the fact that they aren't putting up anyone to oppose Obama even though over 60% of the country is against him. Is this the best that the Democrats have to offer us ? And...to add insult to injury, Obama is no longer doing his job. His entire focus is on running around the country campaigning for re-election. I'm not quite sure why he even has to do that as he is the Democratic candidate (by default).
In addition to all this running around, millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent by a man that has disappointed us in order that he get four more years in order to disappoint us more.
Has anyone calculated exactly how much the Obama campaign is costing us ??? I guess that this is his way of creating jobs; by hiring people to work on his campaign............but he's running unopposed.
I don't like him, I won't vote for him and I'm fed up with his spending my money on fancy dresses and parties for his wife and all of my dollars that he's wasting while not doing his job.

Democracy

2011-10-19T09:15:00.000-07:00

In my recent observations, I've noticed that our representatives (Congress and the President) are no longer referring to us as CITIZENS, but rather as "Consumers".
They're passing laws and regulations about what we eat, what we are allowed to own, where we can't go and about our habits and health.
This is not the Democracy that our founding father's had in mind.
Of course, over the past 200 and some years that we've been a democracy, we've allowed our "rulers" to slowly move away from democratic rule and more towards being "Rulers" rather than complying with the wishes of the citizens. The present administration is the most guilty of this.
In my observations, I see why this is so.
Democracy is unnatural...
Just watching children in the schoolyard during their play period, they always have one that seems to be the "organizer" or leader of the groups that they form, telling (or suggesting) what they'll play and what the rules will be. This is a more natural form of governance. It is more akin to a monarchy or dictatorship; which is far more acceptable than democratic rule amongst the group.
Perhaps, it's time that we reevaluate how far we've moved from being a Democracy and reorganize ourselves into a better form of government. Since democracy is merely MOB RULE, and in today's atmosphere, it's money and politics that has become the determining factor in how our government is treating us...a change is due.
Personally, I'd like to get back to honoring our Constitution and update it to encompass our modern technology, keeping the original seven Articles (with a few updated modifications). Some of the Amendments are either no longer valid or needed, others are vague enough where abusive use has come into play with them; as well as needing some new ones for our modern world.
Now, I'm not saying that children, unencumbered by politics or money have a better system of organization; I'm merely saying that if we want to continue to be a Democracy, we have to work harder at it and not sit back leaving all decision making in the hands of a few. If we don't do something soon, we will all be under the whims of our Rulers under the guise of socialism and eventually a Dictatorship.

2011-10-09T00:05:00.000-07:00

Even though our restricted media tells us little to nothing about world events, other sources from around the world do inform their populations as to what's going on in the world.
An example is that while the Obama administration is reducing our military might by not only reducing the number of people in the military, they are selling off our arms (Planes, Tanks, Submarines, guns & ammo, etc.) to other nations. Meanwhile, Russia and China are building up their already enormous military with the prospect of a coming world war.
As we all know by now, through his restrictions on free enterprise and his ineptness, Obama has put us on a downward spiral to destroy our economy.
Obama has put us deeper in debt during his term so far that all of the Presidents from G. Washington to G. Bush all together.
It appears that Obama is hell-bent on reducing America to a third world country.

2011-10-06T07:47:00.000-07:00

Apparently, this administration has done nothing but help plummet our economy into a downward spiral.
Their excessive spending and accumulation of thousands of business restrictions keeps the government taking in less and less, thus putting us into a potential for another great DEPRESSION.
A solution to putting people back to work, making the economy robust and giving the government more money than they can spend might but the following. As much as one might disagree with the suggestions below, I only ask that you consider them. They must ALL be implemented, as by "picking and choosing" which ones, defeats the purpose intended.
(1) Vote out all incumbents, including the failed President (Obama). This would give us a chance to start fresh with a President and Congress that might do the will of the people (Example: Repeal Obamacare which in itself will be too costly to maintain and restrict the fine medical services we now have).
(2) Tax the unions. Since these multibillion dollar organizations have huge staffs with exorbitant salaries and are mostly political arms, they serve little of their original intended purpose of helping the working class.
(3) Tax all churches and religious organizations. Some of these have become multibillion dollar organizations with a political agenda anyway (not to mention the millions of dollars sent from mosques to our enemies in the middle east).
(4) Legalize prostitution. Since prostitution has always gone on and will continue to flourish, why not tax it ?
By having licensing, medical documentation and taxation on it, law enforcement could be used elsewhere, the spread of venereal diseases could be minimized and this would produce additional income for the states.
(5) Legalize marijuana. Just like the laws and taxes on tobacco and liquor, the same rules, laws and restrictions could be imposed on marijuana (packaged and sold just like cigarettes). This alone would reduce crime, free up law enforcement, regulate quality and produce a huge windfall of money to the government.
We all saw what happened during Prohibition and why the 18th Amendment was repealed.
(6) Deregulate various industries that are only hampered by many of the restrictions and regulations imposed on them, thus charging the public even more for their products or services.
(7) Institute the Fair Tax Plan so that the government would take in more money and the wage earner would keep more of their money. With this plan, the IRS could be minimized or eliminated, thus saving even more money for the government.
(8) Stop all subsidies to corporations. This would make competition greater, reducing prices to the consumer and keep billions of dollars in our treasury.
(9) Only give foreign aid to those countries that can pledge allegiance to us and have them make an accounting of how this aid was spent.
(10) Eliminate many government departments that are really states rights (Example: Department of Education).
(11) Put import taxes on all items coming from countries that tax our exports. This would bring jobs back to America.
(12) Put all illegal aliens into work camps, either producing agriculture or consumer items for export.
(13) Stop rebuilding areas in other countries until we've rebuilt our own deteriorating infrastructure and cities.

Whether you agree or not, you must admit that these suggestions would not only put America back to work, help the poor to move up to the middle class, make the government (both federal as well as local) take in more money, but make us the greatest nation in the world for ourselves and the generations that follow us.
Let's make the global economy compete with us rather than how we're struggling to compete with them...

A Solution

2011-09-19T08:05:00.000-07:00

This morning, President Obama made another one of his speeches that show how clueless he really is. He laid out a "vague" plan to turn the economy around.
The real way to do this is:
(1) Privatize the private sector. By this, I mean that the government should get out of the way of most businesses. Repeal the regulations that have been put in place during the past two years that either restrict or make doing business far more costly.
(2) As far as "Job Creation"; there are closed military bases all over the country that have housing, electricity, workshops etc. Reopen these bases and fill them with the homeless. Teach them the skills that they can use in obtaining a job while they're there, maintaining the bases. Have them grow their own food, repair anything that breaks and build more facilities for education in various trades.
(3) Before Congress (and the President) cut anybody's Social Security or Medicare, Congress must cut their benefits (salaries, pensions, expenses perks, etc.)
(4) Stop all Foreign Aid to countries that are our enemies. Discontinue, rebuilding other countries.
(5) Implement the Fair Tax Plan.
(6) Cut out all special interest projects (tea cup museums, roads to nowhere, grants for the Arts, grants to prisoners for college degrees, ....as a matter of fact, stop ALL grants.
(7) Balance the budget (which Obama is strictly against).
(8) Either recall or vote out all Representatives that aren't voting the will of the people (Obamacare is a good example).
(9) Give back the States their Rights and responsibilities. An example is the Department of Education...this is a State's Right.
(10) Get rid of most of the newly created agencies created by Obama that increase the government's control over our lives.
(11) Stop all subsidies to farms (paying farmers to NOT grow certain produce), corporations and "hobbyists". Let the marketplace seek its own level.
(12) Instead of paying the military a huge re-enlistment bonus, buy them an annuity so that their retirement is secure when their service is over.
(13) Reinstate the separate fund that was originally for Social Security and make it a law that it be reserved ONLY for Social Security recipients. No payments should be taken from this fund and given to anyone that didn't contribute to it.
My list could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.
Each of the above items would account for Millions to Billions of dollars saved. Collectively, not only would we be able to save Trillions, we could pay off the National debt over the next few years. Unemployment and homelessness would almost disappear, poverty would only exist among those that didn't want to work.
In other words, we don't need to cut benefits to soldiers and the elderly. Obama is clueless on how to run this country (he's a "community organizer", and not very good at that either).
Let me know if you have other ways for us to improve our economy...I can't think of them all..........

The big JOKE

2011-09-09T11:37:00.001-07:00

By now, most of us realize that Obama is just a big JOKE on the American people.
Let's look at his most recent speech (yesterday) to a joint session of Congress. Even the press ignored him. There are 90 reserved seats in the Press Gallery, yet only 26 people from the media showed up, and 12 of them left before Obama finished speaking.
This was actually the official start of his campaign to be re-elected. You can bet this speech will bring the DOW down hundreds of points. Every time he speaks, stocks drop by a huge margin. This kills more jobs and causes people to lose more of their retirement money.
He asked Congress to pass his Jobs Bill.......What bill ? He has written nothing down nor has presented anything for Congress to vote on. The JOKE is that he expects the Democrats to write an unreasonable bill that the Republicans will defeat it. This way he can say that "his" bill was thwarted by the Republicans.
The other JOKE is that he wants to spend $476 billion on this "Jobs Bill". We just saw the craziness that Congress went through trying to raise the debt ceiling. Now where does Obama expect us to get almost a half a Trillion dollars from for this phantom Jobs Bill ? No wonder our credit rating has been dropped down (for the first time in history).
Somehow, he thinks that the government creates jobs. Only the private and corporate sectors create jobs. The only jobs the government can create are government expansion jobs.

In the meantime, over 1400 homes have burnt to the ground in an area of Texas that is larger than the state of Connecticut. The Governor of Texas has asked that these areas be declared a national disaster area, and because of the conflict between the Governor of Texas and the President, this request (made twice now) lays on the Presidents desk unsigned. Obama knows that no one in Texas will vote for him anyway, so he has no reason to commit federal manpower, equipment or financial aid to the victims of the Texas fires.
Do you really want a President that punishes people that disagree with him ? I thought he was President of all the people of the United States. His actions are more that of a King or Emperor.
Obama is not only a JOKE but an embarrassment for the United States.
Please, please, tell me some reason to keep this man (that we know nothing about) in office. His last attempt to get us out of a recession not only failed but put us deeper in the hole. Now he wants to repeat it again, just using different words. Instead of "shovel ready" he now says "infrastructure".

Bottom line is: Would you buy a used car from this guy ? If you do, I guarantee it'll fall apart on you before you can get it home.
Obama is an ineffective President that has done nothing but blame everyone and everything for his failure except taking responsibility for his ineptness. He blames the previous administration, he blames the banks, he blames Congress, etc. Instead of "Hope & Change", he's given us "Hopelessness and Change for the worse". True, when he took office, we were headed for a mild recession. It was easily turned around if the private sector was left to do it. Instead, he levied over 17,000 new restrictions on business, shoved Obamacare down our throats and gave Trillions of our dollars to our enemies.
Get rid of this Chicago thug that knows nothing about leadership.

Gov't. Fire Suppression

2011-09-07T05:33:00.000-07:00

With huge fires burning all through Texas (57 this week alone), some as big as 35,000 acres with over 500 homes destroyed, FEMA has finally arrived. Now that the government has it's people involved, a new problem is in play. Firefighters from all over the state and from all over the country (as far away as Alaska) are being told to go home. Apparently, the new rules are that if you don't have explicit permission from the federal government to help with putting out the fire, you cannot participate.
This is insane. There are hundreds of firefighters just sitting around because they are not allowed to bring in their equipment or people to halt these fires.
Meanwhile, as these fires continue to burn, over 1,000 homes throughout the state of Texas have been destroyed and the federal government hasn't done one thing other than stifle the firefighter's progress.
We all understand the animosity between Obama and Perry (Texas Governor). However, in such an emergency, Obama should put his anger aside and have declared Texas a disaster area and sent help and funds.
With enough people bitching about how Washington is dealing with this, eventually, Obama will have to allow some federal funds in order to "help his declining image".
This is just another example of how ineffective this present administration really is. With a President that has his ego on the line, one can only expect that his supporters will get freebies and anyone (or state) that opposes him will be denied any help whatsoever.
I thought he said that he was President of all the people, not just those that he selects...

Job Creation VS Obama Regulations

2011-09-04T23:16:00.000-07:00

I just became aware of another example of this administrations new regulations.
This one involves Gibson Guitars. Since 2009, Gibson Guitar has created 600 new jobs (without any government assistance).
The regulation specifies that if a guitar, piccolo, piano, etc. or instrument of any kind crosses our borders, the owner has to know the species of wood that every component is made of, where it came from and be able to prove it. Customs will seize you instrument if you can't prove the origin of its materials.
The FBI raided a Gibson Guitar factory and confiscated over $1 million worth of ebony and 6 guitars that they claimed was imported from India where ebony is considered as an endangered specie of tree.
The wood was actually imported from a Forest Stewardship Council Certified supplier and it came from Madagascar where ebony is not an endangered specie. Gibson has all of the documentation to prove this.
The government is about to close down Gibson Guitar and put them out of business except for a lawsuit that Gibson is perusing against the government regarding this nonsensical interruption of free enterprise.
Just another example of how this administration is "creating jobs". This is just one example of how the 17,000 new regulations put into effect during the past two years is affecting business, employment and our economy. Obama is hell-bent on destroying America, piece by piece.
Anyone not poor or illegal that votes for him is not only a stupid Liberal but has no idea of how much damage
Obama has done to this country. They argue that he "inherited" a bad situation. The truth is that any respectable businessman could have corrected that situation in less than two years.
Instead of Obama trying to correct the economy, he focused on shoving ObamaCare that we can't afford, down our throats. Now that he's campaigning (with your tax dollars) to be re-elected, he is finally expressing concern about the economy and jobs. You voted him in without knowing anything about this man and his socialist ideas, his communist and radical connections and his inability to run anything but being a "community organizer' (buzzword for radical antagonizer).
Don't be stupid this time, don't believe any of his lies, his mantra of "Hope & Change" is ridiculous. First of all, the Change he spoke about was to destroy those that create jobs and move money from those that work to those that don't work. As far as Hope, one that does nothing can just sit around and hope all they want...nothing happens. Don't be a fool this time. Vote for anyone (even your dog) rather than Obama. If you let him get away with what he's done to this country as of now, you ain't seen nuthin yet.....
Stop being a moron and research everything that he's done since being elected. That will open your eyes; you'll be shocked. Without you doing your own research, you're limited to what the media (that is controlled by Washington with threat of losing their licenses) is allowed to tell you. Start thinking for yourself. He fooled you once, if you let him fool you again, you are responsible for the demise of America.

Advanced Education

2011-08-31T16:02:00.000-07:00

Due to the falling economy, over the past two years, more and more school districts around the country are going to a FOUR DAY school week. I can understand the economics and savings of money by this move. However, with our public educational system falling behind all other industrialized countries, is this the appropriate thing to do ?
Proponents of the FOUR DAY school week say that since implemented, scholastic scores have gone up, moral has increased and attendance is at an all time high. With that being said; then it seems that scores would increase even more by going to a THREE DAY school week. And how about a TWO DAY or a ONE DAY school week ? Imagine if we went to a NO DAY school week...everyone would then become honor students and our poor educational system would no longer be needed as well; as all kids would be exceptional college candidates.
Now, with the "dumbing down" of America, it appears that they've found a faster way to poorly educate the next generation. After all, this country was built by millions of people that had never gone to school. Could it be that if we have a huge population of uneducated people that we could make our country grow again ?
I think not !
So, what's more important, increasing salaries for the people that run these school districts or educating our children ? Obviously, the people that make the rules couldn't care less about the kids........

Show me the money

Good progress

2011-08-26T05:36:00.000-07:00

The Obama administration is finally making progress in Obama's promise to lift some of the 17,000 new regulations put into effect since he became President. Most of these regulations are so restricting that they have either caused many small business to shut down or caused large businesses to increase their prices to us.
Finally, Obama has lifted one, yes...just one of the 17,000+ regulations stifling business and economic growth.
That regulation is that a Milk Spill be treated the same as an Oil spill. Now I can understand that if a tanker truck turns over on a freeway, of course it will be attended to as any large spill would. However, this regulation forces the dairy farmer (regardless how small) to adhere to ridiculous precautions for just a few drops of milk on the ground.
The farmer has to immediately evacuate the area, put up barricades, call the EPA, inform HAZMAT, bring in governmental people to clean it up, etc.
Kudos to Obama for lifting this restriction. Now what about the rest ???
Pizza shops are closing that can't afford to install the new equipment that the new regulations are forcing them to do. All kinds of businesses are closing down because of this administration's goal of controlling everything in our lives (remember ObamaCare ?).
I could list hundreds of these new regulations that are so stupid that all they do is put an additional burden on our fragile economy and benefit no one except give the government more control over one's business.
By getting rid of most of these new restrictive regulations, the economy could start growing again and people could get back to work.
C'mon Obama...do the right thing for a change.

Who, What & Why ???

2011-08-08T04:52:00.000-07:00

This was an interesting weekend. For the first time in our history, the credit of the United States came under scrutiny. Standard and Poors (S&P), the agency that rates the ability of nations to pay their debts, lowered the rating of the United States from AAA to AA+.
What this means is that it will cost more for the U.S. to borrow money. This is just like your credit score dropping and your interest rate therefore goes up.
Obama is blaming S&P for not understanding how Washington works. Actually, it's Obama that doesn't understand the condition that the U.S. is in. The Democrats are blaming the Republicans, the Republicans are blaming the Democrats and everyone is blaming the Tea Party.
Actually, the Tea Party, being called "unreasonable" wanted a cap on spending, a balanced budget and a greater reduction in the debt.
S&P based their downgrade on the fact that they expected a $5 trillion drop in the deficit, but it was only $2 trillion. They also expected a cap on borrowing and there is none.
What this means for all of us is HIGHER TAXES, HIGHER INTEREST RATES, HIGHER PRICES and less employment. Your Congress screwed you again.
S&P said that in order to just keep the downgrade rating (without a further downgrade in the future), the GNP (gross national product) would have to climb by over 3% annually. However, with all of the restrictions that this administration has put on business, we're lucky if we can grow beyond 1%.
At present, of the entire working population (able bodied people, 18 - 65), only 54% are either working for someone or self employed. This is the lowest percentage since the 1930s.
There is a solution; but it means that Washington has to give up power to the people. If restrictions are lifted, taxes are not increased and interest rates are held firm, this country could turn itself around in a year or less.
Of course, Washington will continue to borrow, spend and restrict the growth of this country because we have a spoiled Congress and an inept President. Actually, a lot of this is your fault. You voted for these people and when they didn't represent your wishes, you did nothing about it. I remember when a million man march was organized. Now is the time for a 10 million taxpayer march on Washington to be organized.
You are watching the deterioration of the United States that will trigger a great civil war. If you think that I might be exaggerating the problem, then just sit by and watch your freedoms go away, your income decrease, your costs go up and your neighbors and community fall into poverty. Even then, most of you will do nothing.
The rest of the world is laughing at us and watching the most powerful nation in the world self destructing from within. All of our enemies realize that they don't need to attack us. They can just sit back and let Obama and Congress devour us from within. Yes, you can do something about this before it's too late...but you won't !
Soon, you will remember that I warned you as you see the fall of the U.S. and you'll think back to a time when you could have done something. Then it will be too late. Act now or suffer the consequences.

...and he fiddled while Rome burned.

2011-08-05T13:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, the public lost $1.9 trillion in their IRAs, 401Ks and other investments.
That evening, at taxpayer expense, Obama celebrated a LAVISH 50th birthday party at the White House.
How about you folks footing the bill on my next birthday party ??? One thing is for sure, it won't cost near as much as Obama's did.
In light of that, today, Congress added $239 billion to our debt. This is new spending and has nothing to do with our present obligations.
Are you getting the picture yet ? All of our "leaders" have got to go. They really don't give a damn about us or our country. The only thing that they're really representing is their egos and re-election (at your expense).
While they rejoice over 117,000 jobs being added (they weren't really added, they were there all of the time, just not filled yet), it gave them the right to spin a great untruth.....that the unemployment rate dropped from 9.2 to 9.1. Big deal....if I'm drowning in 9.2 feet of water, will the water level dropping to 9.1 feet save my life ?
What does it take for you to see that these people do not have your interests at heart ? Why are you so apathetic and doing nothing to stop this ? Are you doing that well that you too don't give a damn ?
Get rid of both parties...get rid of all career politicians...get rid of some of the restrictive laws and regulations that are stifling businesses and growth...get rid of all the redundant agencies created by this administration.
Congress is supposed to make laws and approve a budget to run the country. They have no right to fund special interests projects, give cash grants, spend elaborate sums on their personal pet projects, etc.
Let's get back to the Constitution instead of letting these schemers violate it.

No time lost...

2011-08-04T05:47:00.001-07:00

The ink wasn't even dry on the bill extending the debt ceiling when Congress has already just spent over $40 Billion of the new amount that they can borrow. Where were all those politicians that were trying to "cut spending" ?
However, the biggest slap in our faces cam from Obama himself. As soon as the bill became law, Obama left Washington to fly out and get back on the campaign trail. Why isn't he doing his job. He was elected (hired by the people) to be in Washington and run this country. His campaign is costing the taxpayers a huge amount of money. He flies for free, gets accommodations (hotels, meals, transportation, etc.) for free, has a bunch of unpaid volunteers at his beck and call, all on the taxpayer's dime.
If you or I spent most of our time promoting ourselves at our company's expense and not being at work, we would be fired very quickly. I suggest that we fire this malingerer. Other than becoming a multi-millionaire, why would anyone want to be President of the United States. Answer: Ego and power.
It obviously doesn't require intelligence (Ex: Jimmy Carter had the highest IQ of any president and was a nuclear physicist, yet look at what a poor President he was). It doesn't require any experience (Ex: Truman was a high school teacher before becoming President).
To run a country as large as ours has got to be the worst 24/7 job in the world. It only pays $400,000/ year, which is less than a lot of CEOs and company Presidents make (and they're actually working at their jobs).
Well, you wanted a community organizer to run your country...and now look at the condition he has put us in. Just by the fact that he was a left wing socialist, an anti-American sympathizer and a street thug, was not any reason to elect him. Now he's campaigning to have another four years to complete his destruction of the American way of life.
Do you want more of his thuggery and destruction of the middle class ? If you don't vote or vote for him, then you are part of the problem. Don't come bitching to me when your income drops, your costs go up and your children are unemployed, all while you're paying for the care and comfort of those that have no intention of ever being productive.
Wake up and see his failures...wake up and see his underhanded methods...wake up and get rid of him. You can't afford four more years of this.

...and the Winner is...

2011-08-01T06:22:00.000-07:00

After all the smoke settles, it looks like we've been "snookered" again.
The debt ceiling crisis has been settled in favor of Obama, not the people of the United States.
Now, Obama can campaign without interruption...he can claim that he forced Congress to settle this problem.
Actually, it increases our debt by $2.4 Trillion with no cuts in spending until after the election (which won't happen anyway).
Can you believe how the real issue wasn't about raising the debt ceiling. We all knew that it was going to happen. The real issue was about raising taxes and cutting spending. Well, it's spending as usual in Washington and the tax raises won't happen until after the next election (where taxes will then explode upward as well as huge cuts in the military, Social Security and Medicare).
Bottom line.........Obama wins, you LOSE !
Now can't you see how manipulative Obama is ? He is sneakily destroying our country with more spending (debt), huge taxes (coming soon) and a weak military. He is doing everything that he can to keep the economy and jobs at a minimum and has hurt all Americans (from the rich to the poor) during his time as President.
Do you want more of this ? We have a chance to get rid of him in the next election, but it will take all of us to do it. If you do nothing, if you don't vote, if you don't tell your friends and neighbors how bad he is; then you are condoning the fall of the United States.

What Debt Ceiling ?

2011-07-31T08:16:00.001-07:00

I don't understand this business about a Debt Ceiling. Every time (dozens of times) that we get close to it, Washington has raised it. This is like every time you extend your credit card to its limit, you just get the credit card company to increase your spending limit without trying to pay it down by curtailing your spending.
Congress is fighting over things that aren't really a way to solve this controversy. One side wants tax increases, the other side wants a balanced budget, one side wants spending cuts while the other side wants spending increases...who are they kidding ? The obvious solution is :
(1) A final and firm debt ceiling that is NEVER to be exceeded.
(2) Reform our tax system to use the Fair Tax Plan which will eliminate the IRS and bring in more revenue to the government without raising taxes.
(3) Clamp down on fraud in government programs and entitlements, thus saving another $100-$150 Billion each year.
(4) Cut out "pork barrel" spending which amounts to over $800 Billion each year.
(5) Stop sending aid to countries where their governments and armies grab up to 97% of what we send as aid (Ex: China that is our biggest creditor, where we finance part of their army).
(6) Stop rebuilding countries that are war-torn. The people of Afghanistan and Iran are laughing at us as we build schools, mosques, roads, homes, etc. for them that they would not build for themselves.
(7) Stop spending Billions to prop up industries in other countries (Ex: $4 Billion to Brazil for their oil exploration).
(8) Ad a Balanced Budget Amendment (50 states already have one).
(9) And, of course, get rid of Obama and the Congress that we now have.
There is no need to cut spending for the Pentagon, Social Security or Medicare...just clamp down on the fraud and unnecessary spending in these departments. A restructuring of these departments for the future is definitely in order.
We've all been "had" by this stupid diversion about a Debt Ceiling to not notice the slick maneuvers by Obama to not have any blame for the outcome so he can be re-elected to cause more chaos, contrived crisis and bring down America even more than he already has. The debt ceiling could have easily been raised, but Obama needed a "good crisis" to help in his plan to destroy us. You only have to look around to see that most of us that are no better off or worse off than we were just two years ago is because of this administration and the politicians in Congress. Our only survival as a nation is to get rid of them all.

2011-07-27T13:09:00.000-07:00

Apparently, Congress "can't see the forest because of the trees".
All of this nonsense over a debt ceiling is just a political ploy by Obama.
No matter what compromises are made, no matter what plan is submitted, no matter who does it; Obama either disapproves it or threatens to veto it.
Hasn't Congress caught on yet ? No matter how it turns out, Obama can say "THEY DID IT, NOT ME..."
All that the Congressional leaders need to do is ask Obama for his plan. Of course that would expose Obama as he isn't even sure what or why there is a debt ceiling.
You ignorant, bleeding heart liberals put a man in office that is totally clueless about running a country (let alone anything else). While he talks about cutting spending in Social Security and Medicare, his ObamaCare costs are many times larger. Where does he think the money is coming from ? If this keeps up, the only people in America with any money will be the politicians.
In the next election, an important question that should be asked of everyone running is, "Will you work for $1/ year and serve no more than two terms ?" Of course we'll need to know more about each candidate, but that should disqualify a whole bunch of phony politicians from the start.
There are two reasons that Obama wants to be re-elected...(1) While in office, his fortune has grown from "comfortable" to multi-millionaire. Another term would thrust him into the billionaire club. And (2) is that Obama, the egomaniac is so power hungry that he can't let go of control regardless if he is helping or hurting us.
Just ask yourselves...are you better off since Obama took office ? Why has unemployment soared five times as much for blacks and Latinos as for whites ?
I could ask many, many more of these questions until you would see that all of your answers point to a corrupt government being run by an incompetent narcissist.
Get rid of Obama and his advisers and supporters or lose everything..................

Obama speaks...America is pissed.

2011-07-25T18:18:00.000-07:00

I just listened to President Obama's speech regarding a solution to our debt ceiling crisis.
First, he started out by blaming others for his inadequacy in coming up with a plan to solve this dilemma.
His demeanor was mean and condescending in his castigation of the Republicans for wanting his outrageous spending curtailed.
During his term in office, over a Trillion dollars of wasteful spending has been spent on frivolous projects like research for shrimp on treadmills, teaching pigs to walk in an orderly line, etc., etc., etc.
Obama is first to take credit for things that happen on his watch such as the assassination of Bin Laden (even though the SEAL team had been set up and practicing for this under the Bush administration), but won't take the blame for anything that's gone wrong (such as the failure of his Stimulus Package).
When he speaks to Congress, he talks down to them, treats them like children and even throws TANTRUMS.
As the months have gone by, we are seeing an angrier and more confused man sitting in the President's chair (when he's in Washington and not out campaigning).
Perhaps Obama is finally realizing that he is "in over his head" and that running our country is not the job for a thug community organizer. He wears his ego on his chest...nothing is ever his fault or responsibility. He is NEVER wrong. Can you imagine what his poor daughters have to put up with ?
The bottom line is that even though Obama is the President of the United States of America, he is incapable of running this country and won't admit it.
The debt ceiling crisis is easily solved without threatening Social Security and Medicare recipients.
First, stop spending on special interest groups that benefit only a few with frivolous projects.
Second, repeal Obama care; that will cost us Trillions in the near future.
Third, balance the budget.
Fourth, discontinue all grants, regardless of who benefits.
Fifth, stop foreign aid to our enemies.
Sixth...and most important RECALL OBAMA FROM THE PRESIDENCY.
If he is left to continue, our country will be in ruin and poverty will run rampant throughout what is the middle class (at this time). President Obama and most of Congress are setting us up for another great Civil War. Obama is hell-bent on destroying the economic principles that have made America great. His policies and increased regulations have brought growth to a halt as businesses don't want to expand because under Obama, success is penalized. New regulations are causing many businesses to close, many professionals to retire early and a growing disgruntled population. Obama is aware that he is causing a wave of civil unrest to come over this country and is bringing in foreign troops to help squelch it. If he isn't stopped, there will be blood in the streets and you will be broke.
By keeping your head in the sand, you are supporting his incompetence and condoning the ruin of our country. Get involved, speak up, write to your representatives (and if they don't listen, vote them out).
Dammit..................DO SOMETHING !!!

Debt Ceiling

2011-07-21T05:18:00.000-07:00

What is the matter with our elected officials ?
There has not been any attention to a Balanced Budget for over 800 days so far.
All of the Democrats (Pelosi, Reid, etc.) all voted against raising the debt ceiling when it came up last time. This time, they want it raised. Talk about your "flip-flopping".
The Republicans want NO TAX INCREASE, a BALANCED BUDGET and SPENDING CUTS. What is wrong with that ? Social Security and Medicare don't need to be touched (other than curtailing fraud). There are tens of billions wasted on special interest programs and grants such as a Teacup Museum, Treadmill Research for Shrimp, etc. The reason that the 1600+ programs that benefit only a few are not being cut is that they would lose votes for those Representatives that originally got them.
Worst of all, Obama has no plans for solving the Debt Ceiling problem. He has already said on several occasions that he wants to raise taxes and raise spending. Actually, this is his way of penalizing the successful and shifting their money to the slackers while bringing down the economy of the United States. Just this morning, he was so pissed off at Texas Governor Perry for "bad-mouthing" him, that he ordered the EPA to shut down the three coal burning electric plants at a time when, due to the heat wave in Texas is causing more than normal electric usage (for air conditioning). He wants to punish all Texans for the words of their Governor.
The solution is easy...
(1) Freeze the debt ceiling
(2) Eliminate all ridiculous programs and grants
(3) Stop Foreign Aid to our enemies
(4) Recall Obama
Of course, you realize that all of those THREATS from Obama and his Democrat henchmen in the Senate are just that...threats to intimidate. The government has enough money to pay its obligations regardless of whether we have a debt ceiling or not. One big reason for our debt being so large is that we borrow money from China to give away to oil producing countries. Obama just gave $4 Billion to Brazil for them to continue their offshore drilling for oil while limiting offshore drilling in this country. Does that make any sense ? Obviously, Obama is dumber than he looks.
We have to get rid of this guy...........he's killin' our country.

Debt ceiling....

2011-07-08T08:59:00.000-07:00

Both the Democrats and the Republicans have got this "Debt Ceiling" thing wrong.
Just leave it alone (or reduce it). Instead, cut out all of the unneeded personnel, programs and spending.
Most states and local governments in this country are doing just that...
As an example; there are over 450 employees in the White House that are paid a total of over $34 million/ yr.
Why has Obama increased the White House staff so much ? Was this his idea of "job creation" ?
We don't need to penalize the taxpayer by either raising taxes (Democrats) or cutting Medicare and Social Security (Republicans). We need to stop funding ridiculous grants for things like a Teapot Museum or Treadmills for Shrimp (I could list hundreds of these things that are being funded by the Obama administration).
What about all the private and personal spending of taxpayer money by the members of the House and the Senate ? This spending on things like new carpeting in a Senator's home, tuition for a Representative's daughter, etc. (i could list hundreds of these things that are being paid for with taxpayer money).
What about all the free money that we give (in the Billions each year) to our enemies and nations that don't need our money (as an example: China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.)
When you tally up just the three money wastes I've listed above, it accounts for over $2 Trillion dollars (over 10 years). I use the "over 10 years" number because that's how Washington gets us to think it's all happening NOW.
Almost every member of Congress has increased their staff in the last two years (unnecessarily). Other than a Communist country, we (the U.S.) have the largest government (number of employees) in the world.
There are whole departments that are doing most of the same work as other departments, there are departments that could totally be eliminated. An example is the Department of Education, this is a states responsibility, not federal. What's the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture doing in their meddling in the Department of Interior's meddling with the Forestry Service about oil exploration ? See what I mean ?
We need less people in Washington, less rules and regulations, less departments, less grants, less foreign "aid" and less taxes.
While our benevolent Congress vote for cutting our incomes, they don't dare vote away any of their "perks" or income. They're even exempt from ObamaCare and insider trading.
I've been begging you to vote out EVERYBODY and start over with people that have this country's best interests at heart instead of worrying about being re-elected.

A Case Against Diversity

2011-07-02T17:27:00.000-07:00

A mini history of our growth...

The Pilgrims established settlements and colonies. They kept Catholics, Jews, Blacks, Orientals, etc. from any opportunities.
There was no diversity.

Nevertheless, people came to the "new land" and the population grew. as time went by, the colonies became states and a country (The United States of America) was born. Basically, this country was founded by white, Protestant, Europeans.
Still, there was no diversity.

As the people of the U.S. expanded their territory (at the expense of the natives), more territories became states and became part of the union of the United States.
Still, there was no diversity.

America continued to prosper as most of the new immigrants built the country. As time went by, the concept of diversity and "the great melting pot" started to become (reluctantly) acceptable.
And now there became diversity.

The Catholics became shop owners and civil servants, the Jews became doctors, lawyers and bankers, the Blacks, Latinos and Orientals became laborers and craftsmen. And the country continued to grow and prosper.

Finally, the country started to become divided between the conservatives and the liberals and finally a great civil war. After the end of this civil war, the country returned to its expansion, development and growth. The government still upheld its original Constitution (with a few amendments added). Now woman and blacks could vote.

After a while, the country fell into a great depression. One way to reverse this was to become more industrial and build a military "war machine". The next obvious step was to get involved in foreign wars. This moved part of the population out of the country and created jobs for those still in the U.S. (women and minorities).
We now had true diversity.

After WWII, the nation was trending towards liberalism with communism,unionization and acceptance of radical new ideas. Diversity and "the melting pot" was now in "full bloom", with every ethnic and religious group making great advances in science, engineering, medicine, art,natural resources, business, etc.
This went on without anyone noticing that the concept of diversity and "the melting pot" had peaked.

People were now coming to the United States to exploit it. Al throughout history, we find that as any group (tribe, country, territory, etc.) becomes more diversified, it eventually declines or is destroyed.

Today, in this country, the many diverse groups have instilled (by guilt) the concept of political correctness to give them an unfair advantage. The country is again becoming divided with our universities teaching liberalism to classes half filled with foreign students that have no intention of contributing to the betterment of the United States.
There is a flood of immigrants (legal and illegal) pouring into the U.S. daily. Today, most American "minorities" see themselves with hyphenated names (African-American, Mexican-American, etc,). Other than the natives that lived here before the Europeans arrived, we are all descended from another country and culture. Anyone born here is a NATIVE AMERICAN (no hyphen needed).

Political correctness and liberalism is pushing for even more diversity and the eventual deterioration of our society. I am not declaring that we return to the days of a white, Protestant society. I'm merely stating that with the influx of more immigrants and the (politically correct) special privileges being given to them, that Democracy (as we've known it) is no longer workable.

To make this easier to understand; Democracy is really "mob rule". We all vote and the majority wins (right or wrong). Right now, the Latino and muslim population is growing in this country at such a fast rate that they are overtaking America. They are moving into political office to eventually change the American way to their cultures. Most Latinos and muslims coming to the U.S. have no intention of becoming citizens or obeying our laws. Most, even refuse to learn our language.
Latinos (especially the illegals) come here for all of the (unconstitutional) freebies that our liberal government gives them. Not only do the muslims come here for those freebies but are infiltrating our country in a declared religious war against America.
Yes... it's a declared religious war by islam against all non-believers.

The bottom line is, as for all other societies in the past, diversity is now destroying America from within. This can be stopped; but first you have to stop being politically correct and demand a major change in our immigration policies, enforce our laws, make English our only language and stop giving away the taxpayers money to these people.

Illegal education

2011-06-28T05:58:00.000-07:00

President Barack Obama said that he will work to change the politics of the immigration debate on children of illegal immigrants in 2011 by making his case to the American people to pass the DREAM Act.

The DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is an American legislative proposal introduced in the Senate on May 11, 2011.

This bill would have provided conditional permanent residency to certain illegal alien students who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, arrived in the U.S. legally or illegally as minors, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment. If they were to complete two years in the military or two years at a four year institution of higher learning, the students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period. Within the six year period, a qualified student must have "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or [have] completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States," or have "served in the armed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, [have] received an honorable discharge. Military enlistment contracts require an eight year commitment, with active duty commitments typically between four and six years, but as low as two years "Any alien whose permanent resident status is terminated [according to the terms of the Act] shall return to the immigration status the alien had immediately prior to receiving conditional permanent resident status under this Act.". This bill would have included illegal aliens as old as 35 years of age.

More simply stated, if you're an illegal alien that's under 35 years old, you can go to school (from kindergarten through a PhD. (at the expense of the taxpayer)...and then be given citizenship. That citizenship extends to you and your family (mother, father, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). So, now you can sneak into the U.S. ILLEGALLY, get a free education and then bring a load of others with you.

At present, even some colleges and universities around the country give preferential treatment to illegal students by offering scholarships or In State tuition. This keeps many Americans from these preferred costs or keeping them from going to college so an illegal can go in their place.

There is no problem giving citizenship to anyone that honorably serves in the military, protecting this country. However, two years of service should only be for those that see combat, all others should have to serve at least four years or more. To make matters worse, the bill would be retroactive, going back five years.

Bottom line, Obama needs more voters so he wants as many illegals given the right to vote for him... This guy will do anything (except make America better) to get re-elected. If I was an illegal alien, I'd not only vote for him but I would have my entire family vote for him (as many times as we could). We already know that ACORN "stuffed" the ballot boxes in the last election and now he wants more votes. Go to Mexico and see what free education you can get there, or if you can get citizenship, or if you can even vote.

As an illegal alien in Mexico, you go directly to prison and have no recourse to any human rights. In this country, we either coddle the illegals or (at our expense) deport them. All those bleeding heart do-gooders with their political correctness are helping to destroy our way of life and limiting your children's opportunities in favor of people that are breaking our unenforced laws. If the Dream Act gets passed, there will be a huge influx of illegal aliens (from all over the world) sneaking into the U.S. for free education and eventual citizenship for them and all their relatives. You'd better learn Spanish and Arabic because in less than one generation, you will be in the minority and lose more rights than you think you have.

It looks like a duck......

2011-06-23T04:42:00.000-07:00

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck...
We all listened to Obama's "speech" last night that was supposed to be the announcement to the world of our strategy in Afghanistan. It was a campaign speech.
Since when does a President tell anyone what his plans are for the military, especially while they're engaged in a war ? Now, all the taliban has to do is sit back and wait for our troops to withdraw, meanwhile quietly rebuilding their strength and claiming a victory over the United States.
He (Obama) was very clever in his wording about our involvement in Libya. He said that there WASN'T a single American soldier "on the ground" in Libya. He neglected to say that there are over 1600 CIA and U.S. hired "private contractors" in Libya...he neglected to say how much the U.S. is supplying in sophisticated arms...he neglected to say how much it's costing us each day to operate drones and jet fighters in Libya.
Actually, his "military withdrawal speech" was mostly another campaign speech. Of the 13 minutes that he spoke, over 8 minutes was his "blowing his own horn" about how great he is and his "terrific" leadership.
This was a campaign speech on national television that didn't cost him a cent. Anyone else that's running for office would have had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a 13 minute election speech in primetime television on all the networks at the same time.
As a side note: If you replay all of his speeches, there is a common theme that they all posses; if it's something positive, he takes full credit for it rather than telling who really should have the credit for it...as an example, he never gave Bush the credit for forming and having constantly trained personnel ready to go to get Bin Laden. Those soldiers have been in training for that mission before Obama even ran for office. Yes, it finally happened on his watch so I'll give him credit for that.
On the other hand, in his speeches, anything negative he won't accept responsibility for and blames everyone else. This is the typical way all street thugs (and community organizers) argue. Are you still "drinking the Coolaid" and believing that Obama is the "Messiah" ?
If you vote for him again, you deserve what he'll do to this country...and you won't like it.
On another side note: The black community is saying that he has let them down in that the largest percentage of unemployed in any group is amongst the black community. The percentage of blacks that are now unemployed is higher than during the 1929 depression.
Obama is a phony.......................We can stop him before he even has a chance to run for re-election by organizing a RECALL and have him kicked out of office now.

First Prize.....

2011-06-21T06:20:00.000-07:00

It looks like instead of winning the Presidential election, the Obamas won a contest where part of the FIRST PRIZE was unlimited travel (with family, friends, etc.) to anywhere in the world. Most of those trips made around the United States are mostly re-election campaign trips and have nothing to do with running our country and solving its problems.
As far as all of that foreign travel, nothing helpful to the United States is accomplished and a "pant load" of money is being wasted. In every case where Michele Obama travels, she avoids the appropriate protocol (as any Diva would), has ridiculous demands and accomplishes nothing but pretty photo ops.
How many poor people could be fed with the millions of dollars that have been wasted so far by the Obama's excessive travel and extravagant parties ? Isn't this country in an economic slump while the Obamas spend taxpayer money on their pleasures ???
However, let's not be too critical.......the Obamas have no idea about the role a President, First Lady and family should play. After all, running this country is way beyond the scope of these people. Continually traveling helps avoid doing the work that Obama was "supposedly" elected to do.
By now, it's quite clear that for any one thing that you can say that Obama has done to help this country, there are at least a dozen (or more) things that have been done to hurt this country since he took office.
I can't see the rationale of people wanting to re-elect him (other than race). Think about it..........

2011-06-19T12:08:00.000-07:00

With all of this talk about raising the our debt limit, some are asking about lowering our spending.
Washington has gone wild with unnecessary spending.
First of all, Obamacare is not the answer to health care...deregulation of health care and health insurance makes the costs of both go down without government intervention.

As a side note: The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America is quite specific, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This amendment is quite obvious.

The government has created so many Departments and hundreds of Agencies that are the job of the States, not the Federal government. On the other hand, the Federal government fails to enforce most Federal laws and prohibits the States from doing so. A perfect example of this is the Department of Homeland Security should have the 24,000 soldiers that protect the South Korean border reassigned to protect the U.S. border where every day, dozens of people from Mexico, the Orient, the Middle East and Africa, sneak into this country illegally and drain our public services as well as bringing crime, disease, drugs and jihad into the U.S.
Why do we have a Department of Education ? Isn't it up to the States to regulate their education ?
Why do we have a Department of Housing & Urban Renewal Development ? Isn't it up to the Cities to take care of this ?
And the list goes on and on.
If we were to adopt the Fair Tax plan, the government would be taking in more money and be able to eliminate the IRS (over 160,000 highly paid government positions).
By eliminating subsidies, grants and all foreign aid, there would be huge savings.
Now they're starting to fool around with Medicare and Social Security. These programs would be very solvent if those that are not entitled, those that never contributed, those that don't meet the age requirements and those that are fraudulently are scamming these systems were either taken off the rolls or prosecuted (where appropriate).
Instead of adding "pork barrel" items to bills, use that extra money to pay down the Federal Deficit.
There is no reason why the United States can't be #1 again in its economy, education, health, business, military, safety, opportunity, etc. All it takes is the government getting out of our way.
Our government is listed as the fifth most corrupt government in the world....we used to not even be on that list. (Source: Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report)
This present administration has done more in the past two years to hurt businesses and the overall economy that all administrations before it (collectively). By now, it should be obvious to all of you that Obama is not only a Socialist but a puppet of those (Soros, Saudi Arabia, the Bank of England, etc.) that are dedicated to the collapse of America.
If we continue on the path that we're on, it is inevitable that this country will be plunged into another great Civil War from which it will take another hundred years to recover (if ever). Regardless, this administration has not only caused the next generation to be less successful than ours but has become instrumental in decreasing the lifespan of the next generation. If you want a detailed explanation of anything you've just read...ask me and I'm happy to make you aware of the great harm that Obama has done (and will continue to do as long as YOU let him) to this country. Ask yourself, "What has this administration done to reverse our decline and make your life better ?" "What, if anything has Obama done for the United States ?" It then becomes obvious that everything that he has done has hurt us.....

Hmmm...

2011-06-12T18:58:00.000-07:00

Just like you, I too was satisfied with Obama finally producing his birth certificate to satisfy all of us that weren't quite sure if he was actually a U.S. citizen.
The document looks authentic enough to satisfy our curiosity.
HOWEVER...
In this age of modern counterfeiting techniques, could it be possible that this "birth certificate" is fraudulent ?
Why did it take so long for it to finally be revealed ?
An indication that the ink used on the bottom signatures had not been formulated until the early '80s.
We all know that any document can be altered, duplicated or an "original" created.
Is Obama's birth certificate real ?
I'd like to believe that it is, but common sense tells me that because of the timing in presenting it as well as no authentication of the paper, inks or sworn statements by those that signed it, there still remains a reasonable doubt as to it's authenticity.
And so, the mystery continues...

Upcoming possibilities

2011-05-30T06:38:00.000-07:00

As we get closer to being able to get rid of Obama and elect a new President, it has occurred to me that there are some pluses and minuses in Obama's re-election.

On one hand, Obama is unbeatable. This is because:
A. He has already started campaigning
B. He is raising tens of millions of dollars for his campaign
C. His organization (ACORN) is huge and capable of massive fraud at the polling places
D. He has a lot of charisma and can fool a lot of people with his speeches
E. He has already cut deals with big business to secure their backing
F. The Republicans haven't figured out who they would put up against him

On the other hand, Obama can be beaten. This is because:
A. Some states have passed laws that make a person show valid ID before voting so dead people and illegal aliens can't vote this time as they did in the last election. This removes seven percent of the votes that Obama received in 2008.
B. Many people that voted for Obama are disgusted at what he's done to this country and would not vote for him again.
C. There are two interesting candidates that could beat Obama (if the playing field were level). They are:
Governor Perry of Texas that has more governmental experience than Obama ever will have. Perry has made Texas into the fastest growing state in businesses, population growth and the economy (in spite of the economic problems in the rest of the country. He understands both governing and the economy.
And then there is Herman Cain, who has no political experience, but tremendous business experience and an excellent and practical agenda for making the United States the most prosperous country in the world again. As an added benefit, Cain (according to recent polls) can take over 60% of the black vote away from Obama.
Both of these men are great speakers and have the charisma that makes people listen and like them.

Of course, at this point in time, it's difficult to see who when and how the 2012 election will go. I will promise you that no matter who runs against Obama will be hit with every illegal, immoral and unethical trick in Obama's bag of tricks. Be prepared to see how an egomaniac tyrant tries for re-election. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Another exemption.....

2011-05-28T21:28:00.000-07:00

When we first found out that Congress, the President, Vice President and the Cabinet were exempt from Obamacare, we were shocked. This is not their only exemptions. Obviously, there is no "equality under the law" for those that make the laws.
As an example, all members of Congress are exempt from prosecution for insider trading in the stock and commodity markets. Congressman Tim Walz of Minnesota has a list of over 72 members of congress that made millions of dollars using insider information from committees and lobbyists during the "bailout". He (Walz) has put through a resolution in the House of Representatives (HR 682) called the Stock Act to put an end to this. It is not only a conflict of interest but another prime example of how corrupt the people are that you've chosen to represent you.
Everyone knows that one doesn't run for Congress to be a "good guy" and represent their constituents, but rather to gain large amounts of wealth. There never has been a Congressman that retired less than a multi-millionaire. While millions are either unemployed or under employed, members of Congress are becoming wealthy at the expense of money invested in working peoples retirement plans like IRAs, 401K plans, etc.
Another example of how the public is being "fleeced" by our governing body. And you thought that this was a democracy only to find out that it's really a fascist regime. We've got to get back to honoring our Constitution and replace all elected officials from the President down to your local Dog Catcher immediately.

Who's watching the store ?

2011-05-28T04:24:00.000-07:00

Well, is this the last straw ? While our country is in massive unemployment, we are at war around the world, there are great natural disasters destroying property and lives in this country, the country is in massive debt, Obama is either campaigning or running around the world, visiting other countries so he can say that he has "foreign policy experience".
On Friday, he signed an extension of law by AUTOPEN while visiting France (just before his visit to Poland).
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all go visiting around the country as well as around the world on the "taxpayer's dime" and when we had to do any work at our job, just "call it in" and AUTOSIGN any documents from afar ?
AUTOPEN is a mechanical device that's used instead of a person actually being available to sign a document.
We, the people of the United States of America have employed Obama to be our President and expect him to come to work. He has not been "at his desk" (or anywhere in Washington) so many times that we have no other choice but to FIRE him and replace him with someone that will take the job seriously by at least showing up for work.
I can appreciate someone wanting to visit other countries and meet various dignitaries as well as touring around the United States; but not at my expense. We, the taxpayer are not only paying for needless travel (and it's very expensive) but are "picking up the tab" on Obama's campaign to be re-elected. Is this a prudent way to spend your money ?
FIRE Obama before he uses up more of our money while he watches our country in turmoil. He is by far, the worst President that we have ever seen. Of course, there are things that we all disagree with our previous Presidents about. However, I have never experienced disagreeing with the President on practically everything that he says or does until this monarch came along. How much longer are you going to stand for his behavior to continue ? Haven't you had enough yet ?
He has done so much damage in his time in Washington (shoving an unpayable health care plan down our throats, forcing us to be totally dependent on foreign oil, doing nothing to get America back to work, keeping us in wars that we shouldn't be in, taking credit for things that were not his doing, hindering America's recovery, making enemies throughout the world, crippling our economy, etc.). that it will take a very strong person to undo the damage that Obama has already done. If he is left in office (or re-elected) it could be the end of our way of life in this country that we've grown used to.
Get Obama out of our lives.....................................

What to do ???

2011-05-16T11:06:00.000-07:00

Like you, I've been drinking the same government made "Cool Aid". We are fed well spun "facts and figures" that are not at all true, showing how our economy is recovering, how we're winning wars, tales of how well we live, how our universities are the best, how well our food supply is monitored, how much energy we have, etc.
The truth is that we are behind the world in everything except taxes and crime.
The southern border of our country is now listed as the most dangerous border in the world. Our university graduates have received a substandard (at best) education, over 10% of our population goes to bed hungry almost every night. The government is spending more (on unnecessary things) than it is taking in. Crime in our cities is increasing every year. Over 15% of our population is illiterate. Our cost of living is increasing with no end in sight. More of our adult population are unemployed than are actually employed. Our cost of medicine and medical attention is the highest (and not the best) in the world. Our citizens over 65 are considered to be dispensable. Our rights are being slowly (so we won't notice it) taken away. We are #5 on the list of corrupt governments in the world. I could go on and on with many other things...
The most recent statistics reveal that over the past two years, more people have applied for passports than ever before; more of the middle class have relocated out of the United States than ever before, and legal immigration has slowed to a new low. Obviously, many are seeing that the United States is in its decline and don't want to be there when the S--- hits the fan.
This present administration has led us to the edge of the abyss without any politically correct way to avert our falling in. In order to reverse our direction, radical steps must be taken.
(1) Get rid our Obama and his henchmen
(2) Throw out all of Congress and the Supreme Court and reelect new members that are not professional politicians.
(3) Eliminate unnecessary departments in the government.
(4) Cut back on the number of government employees at all levels. Does your town really need a dog catcher?
(5) Elect a "Hawk" for President.
(6) Cut all spending to foreign countries (military, humanitarian, infrastructure, etc.)
(7) Build up are military to the fighting force that it once was.
(8) Stay out of other peoples wars and problems.
(9) Rebuild our infrastructure.
(10) Give back the States Rights to the States.
(11) Revalue the dollar and go back on the gold standard.
(12) Institute the Fair Tax Plan and eliminate the IRS.
(13) Stop all student visas until our own children are the best educated in the world.
(14) Make all prisoners of violent crimes serve a life sentence at hard labor (bring back the chain gangs).
This is just to get started...
If you notice, countries such as China are building their military for the coming WWIII. They give no aide to other countries. They don't participate in wars around the world.
Another country that's doing the same thing is Brazil. Also, notice that both of these countries are having economic booms.
Are you getting the picture ? Yes, people are moving out of the United States because they see the end coming. An additional four years of Obama and Soros will be the final "death blow" to what once was the greatest country in the world. Do you have your passport ? Can you get your hands on your savings, 401K, other investments, etc. at a moments notice ? Are you armed ? If not, reconsider putting yourself in a better position very soon.

Kudos to the Governor

2011-05-11T08:15:00.000-07:00

Being that Obama was coming to campaign in the Texas state capitol, Governor Perry asked if he could have a few minutes to speak with Obama regarding some federal aid for the fire stricken area in Texas.
Governor Perry was just a few blocks away (within walking distance) from where Obama was speaking and was told that if he wanted to speak with Obama, Perry would have to fly down to El Paso, Texas to see him in the afternoon. Obama said he had no time to speak with Perry when he came to Austin even though both men would be within a few blocks of each other. Obama was too busy campaigning and had no time to deal with the state's problems.
Obviously, Texas is being shunned by Obama and should withdraw from being any part of the Obama version of the United States since Texas seems to no longer qualify for any communication with the federal government.
Texas...you're in this all alone.
Is this the way that a President conducts himself regarding a Governor and a disaster in a state ???

Let them eat cake.....

2011-05-11T06:51:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday evening, Obama went to Austin, Texas for two fundraisers. He arrived at 5:00 PM, stopping traffic for hours during rush hour. First he went to "Austin City Limits" studio and gave a campaign speech, charging those that wanted to hear him $1,000 each. Then he went to a private home and charged singles $35,000 and couples $50,000 each for a seat. He raised over $2,000,000 all at taxpayer's expense. Between the extra police and security, the wasted gas on the blocked streets and freeways, he cost Austin, Texas over $1,000,000 just for his own personal campaigning.
This is the guy that's supposedly bitching about high gas prices and the economy.
When he left on his huge C-130 around 9:30 PM, he probably was thinking, "what a bunch of suckers, let them eat cake".
No one else that is campaigning can get free transportation and avoid doing their job (who is running the country while this ego maniac is campaigning ?). How dare Obama use my taxes to promote himself. If this doesn't piss you off, you're a card carrying JERK.

Obama games...

2011-05-04T22:26:00.001-07:00

What the hell is the matter with Obama ???
First he played the birth certificate game...gonna show it, not gonna show it, gone show it, etc. until it was finally shown.
Now he is playing the same game, again with weak excuses over showing the pictures of the dead bin Laden. First we were told that they were going to be shown, then not shown, then again shown, and now, not to be released. We were shown the pictures of the hanging of Husein, why not bin Laden ?
A poor excuse is that it would anger our enemies....absurd, they will try to kill us regardless
Is this game being played to avert our attention from his destruction of our monetary system ? The Fed is printing money at an unprecedented rate to the point where the countries holding our T-Bills, bonds, dollars and other debt will be forced to dump these paper obligations, reducing the dollar to almost zero. Every few days we see the dollar declining against other world currencies as it forces up prices on everything needed to sustain life (such as food, gasoline, clothing, medicine, etc.). If you think prices are high now, "you ain't seen nuth'in yet". As an example, when they did exactly the same thing in Argentina, inflation reached over 4000% before the people did anything about it. Watch for the Dollar to be replaced as the world's currency for world trade. It's already being considered in the U.N. and of course by OPEC.
As far as bin Laden being killed, that could be merely a political ploy. Obama's credibility and approval ratings were plunging so he needed to do something. Why not have bin Laden assassinated on his watch ?
Did you notice the lack of any medications in the bin Laden compound ? It is well documented that bin Laden was getting dialysis treatments for kidney failure. Nothing in the compound validated this. Could the person that was killed have been a look-a-like just as Saddam Husein had ? Could bin Laden already be dead or maybe alive in another country ? Isn't it strange that he was buried at sea within hours of his assassination ?
Regardless of what is the truth, can you, in your heart of hearts believe anything that we're being told by this President that already is on record as a LIAR to us dozens of times so far ?
Obama is taking full credit for the Seal team that Bush put in place and has been training for years for this assignment. As early as July 2010, the Pentagon had known that bin Laden was in that compound and every time that an attack was put into motion (5 times in 2010 and 2011), Obama had it canceled. Why did he let it happen this time ? To boost his sagging ratings...DUH !
Yet you still see Obama as the great messiah. Of course he will be re-elected because of how he got his last election, only this time, overwhelmingly. Every person in Chicago's cemeteries will vote for him like they did in his first election, most blacks will vote for him just because he's black, all of the registered to vote illegal aliens will vote for him, and of course most ignorant liberals will vote for him as well as those that vote more than once. This is exactly what happened (thanks to gov't. funded ACORN) in his election. That will be enough votes to win election again.
How much damage and how many lies do you need before we get rid of this scourge of America ? You don't have to agree with my bias against him, but you owe it to yourself to research his day-to-day actions, his Presidential Orders, etc. to verify that Obama (under the direction of George Soros, the Bank of England and a few others) is determined to cripple the United States of America. Unless you do something soon in getting this man out of office, your way of life as well as the American dream will fall to the point where we're nothing more than a third world country. I know you can't imagine that right now, but that's the direction that we're heading in by continuing to "drink the Obama cool-aid.
Let's stop this decline and turn our country around to being the richest, most powerful, most progressive, best educated and most prosperous country in the world, as it once was. To do this starts with getting rid of Obama and everyone in his regime out of government as soon as tomorrow.....time is not on your side.

Something isn't right.

2011-05-02T01:38:00.000-07:00

Can you believe this......Within two hours of President Obama announcing to the world that Osama Bin Laden had been killed and we have his body, he (bin Laden) was buried at sea.
Is this the same lie that we were told in 1945 that Adolph Hitler had committed suicide but the body was never found.
Something is not right about this. Now I'm having a hard time believing that bin Laden was killed. Some kind of con is being dumped on the world. Who is behind this ???
In my previous blog, I thanked President Obama for his efforts in achieving the demise of Bin Laden. I now retract that statement in view of this most recent revelation.

What kind of hoax is being played on us ?????? Who is behind this ?????
Who can we believe any longer ?????
How will Obama explain this to the rest of the world ?????

Read the Associated Press story below........

By JULIE PACE and MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Julie Pace And Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was slain in his luxury hideout in Pakistan early Monday in a firefight with U.S. forces, ending a manhunt that spanned a frustrating decade.

"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House.

A jubilant crowd of thousands gathered outside the White House as word spread of bin Laden's death. Hundreds more sang and waved American flags at Ground Zero in New York — where the twin towers that once stood as symbols of American economic power were brought down by bin Laden's hijackers 10 years ago.

U.S. officials said the CIA tracked bin Laden to his location, then elite troops from Navy SEAL Team Six, a top military counter-terrorism unit, flew to the hideout in four helicopters. Bin Laden was shot in the head in an ensuing firefight, these officials said, adding that he and his guards had resisted his attackers. U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition, the official said, declining to say whether DNA analysis had also been used.

The U.S. team took custody of bin Laden's remains. A U.S. official later said bin Laden had been buried at sea and the remains were handled in accordance with Islamic practice, which calls for speedy burial.

The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. The official did not say where the body was buried.

Credit where due...

2011-05-01T20:45:00.000-07:00

By now, you all know how critical I am about Obama and this administration. However, tonight I give KUDOS to President Obama for doing the politically incorrect thing by allowing our troops to go into Pakistan (without their permission) and kill Osama Bin Laden, returning to Afghanistan with his body.
We should all be aware that the capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden has been a priority of this administration and has been accomplished on President Obama's watch.
What saddens me is that the muslim community is mourning this mass murderer (even muslims) and mosques throughout the world are overcrowded with muslims that are expressing their hatred for America. Unfortunately, our Constitution allows this to take place right here in the United States of America.
Again, I applaud President Obama for his directive to invade Pakistan and kill Osama Bin Laden.
Damn muslims everywhere that are mourning this terrorist.
Of course there will be consequences for this event...but we will deal with them.
This does not mean that the war on terrorism is over, it just means that the leading symbol of terrorism is no longer in charge. Thank you President Obama.

What matters...

2011-04-30T02:58:00.000-07:00

Well, it looks like the Obama "birth certificate search" has been finally resolved. It is official; he was born in Hawaii and is declared as a Negro. This also confirms that he isn't white. Does that really matter ? Some might say that there is a difference between having a black or white President. I don't think that matters.
Now Obama's proof of education is under scrutiny. We're told that he went to a junior college in Los Angeles for two years, then transferred to Columbia University (as a Political Science major).
In 1885 he moved to Chicago and two years latter was accepted to Harvard Law School (graduating in 1991). Does any of that really matter ? We've had Presidents with far less education as well as some with more.

What really matters is the things that a President does to help or harm our country. As an example, Andrew Jackson was condemned as a tyrant during his Presidency. However, it took that in order to bring our country's debt down to Zero.
What really matters is that Obama will go down in history as the WORST President that ever ran this country. He not only is a tyrant, but is clueless in running anything. His ego forces him to believe that he knows better than anyone else what is right for America. Now his focus is primarily on being elected.
He is not done with bringing America down. With the help (and direction) of his "collaborators" like George Soros and others that are hellbent in seeing the United States of America fail, he has already hurt this country with his policies, agenda and lies more than any President before him. Those that look up to him are surely ignorant about anything that has transpired since his election.
Just ask yourself, are you better off today than you were when Obama took office ? The answer for 99% of us is NO. Our cost of living has gone up, our National Debt is so high that it probably can never be paid off, more people are unemployed than were during the 1929 depression, we are engaged in three wars (why are we in Libya), a "Health Care Bill" has been forced down our throats that is so costly that we cannot afford it, etc.
Now this con man and puppet of foreigners wants to be President for another four years. In just two years he's done more damage than any President before him and he still has almost two more years to do more damage. And, he wants four more years.......that's unconscionable.
If we permit him to continue and to be re-elected, the United States of America, the American dream, our standard of living, our way of life, and our children's future are all in jeopardy. Yes, it really hurts me to see this man go about destroying my country.

Rising oil prices...

2011-04-22T11:24:00.000-07:00

Why is Obama telling everybody that the rise in the price of gasoline is the fault of "speculators"? Is he really that stupid that he can't see the Real Truth that it's primarily his fault ?
In every interview with oil producers and the heads of oil producing nations, the thing that's continually being said is that because oil is priced in U.S. dollars and the United States keeps printing more dollars, there are more dollars chasing the same number of goods, thus making the dollar's purchasing value to drop.
It's not only oil that is being priced higher; just look at what food is costing you. Yes, everything is costing more because of the continued printing of dollars.
Only a government can take expensive paper, add high quality ink to it and make it worthless.
If your standard of living is dropping, you can blame Obama and his agenda. He always finds a way to blame someone else for his clueless incompetence.
Of course, it's not his fault...he is manipulated by Soros, his major campaign contributor.
No matter what Obama does, it is another step in deteriorating the American way of life. And now he wants to spend a Billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Anyone giving him sound advice is dismissed and he sets the media out to "bad mouth" them. He believes that he is the smartest person in the world and the rest of us are stupid. Where he's right about this is that we're doing nothing to stop him.

2011-04-21T11:56:00.000-07:00

While we're engaged in two wars and on the verge of a third, while parts of our country are reeling from disasters, while our economy is failing, while the gov't. is on the verge of not being unable to meet its financial obligations......
our President is flying around the country (at taxpayer's expense) attending campaign rallies and dinners to raise money for his re-election campaign.
At these events, he is either changing history or outright telling lies to those giving him money.
As an example: At a $35,000 per seat dinner in Los Angeles this week, he told the attendees how he grew up in poverty, his grandmother living on food stamps and welfare. He told of how his mother was on food stamps while she was attending college for her PhD.
The REAL TRUTH is that his grandmother was the Vice President of the largest bank in Hawaii, his stepfather was the Vice President of an oil company, there is no record of his mother ever having received (or applied for) food stamps, and his "poverty" was that he attended the most expensive private schools thanks to his grandmother. Meanwhile, his brother lives in a hut.
Obama has never been poor, never held a real job, is best known as a Community Organizer (THUG) and has no qualifications to hold any public office (from dog catcher to mail carrier).
Obama is a liar, wastes our tax money for personal gain and is not interested in making America better.
Last year he slashed a federal program in order to fund one of Michele's pet projects. Obama is exploiting his position to the point of dereliction of duty and should be not only impeached but RECALLED and removed from office in disgrace.

Don't you get it ???

2011-04-11T04:32:00.000-07:00

Our government was almost "shut down" by this administration because our Congress couldn't come up with a budget.
First of all, over 700,000 government employees were considered as "non-essential". Well, if the country can continue without these "non-essential" workers,; that shows you one example of how large this government has grown. Of course the grants to ACORN, NEA, EPA, etc. weren't even considered in any cuts in spending.
It finally came down to Congress fighting over supporting Planned Parenthood. Why does the government even involved with this organization in the first place ?
The biggest slap in the face to the American people was that Obama was going to keep our troops (all of them are volunteers) fighting two (soon to be three) wars and halt their pay...putting an additional strain on the families of these men and women of our Armed Forces.
Bringing down the cost of running our government is easy. The following should be done;
(1) Discontinue Foreign Aid.
(2) Resign from the U.N. and use that building (in Manhattan) for housing.
(3) Eliminate all departments that take away states rights (like Department of Education).
(4) Stop funding special interest organizations (like ACORN, NEA, EPA, etc.)
(5) Reduce (or freeze) Congressional salaries.
(6) Eliminate pensions for all 1 & 2 term Congress members.
(7) Institute the Fair Tax and then the IRS is no longer needed.
(8) Stop borrowing.
(9) "Grandfather" all recipients of Social Security and set up a new plan for those still contributing to it.
(10) Reduce or eliminate subsidies to corporations.
...and this list could go on and on...
The bottom line is that our government is so large that it is no longer affordable. In addition to this is the fact that it is run by incompetent people that permit our Constitution to be violated by a tyrannical President.
If you think this country is being ruined, watch out if Obama gets re-elected. He then has nothing to lose (since he doesn't have to worry about getting elected again) by completely destroying our country.
Don't you get it yet ??? If you don't, then you're really stupid and shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

Enough is enough...

2011-04-04T14:45:00.000-07:00

By now, you all must know that the "Great Experiment" called Democracy has run its course and can no longer survive. The Constitution has become a document to challenge rather than respect and uphold. The States have lost their rights and the people no longer rule their destinies.
With Obama declaring a run at a second term and willing to spend over a Billion dollars I realized that even though the Constitution states that the President's term be limited to two consecutive terms, Obama will subvert this amendment in his original goal to become Dictator of the United States.
This administration has declared on several occasions the the Constitution stands in their way.
Under Obama, the United States of America will become just "AMERICA". The plans are already in place (in Washington) to divide the country into five separate areas.
The people no longer have any of their original rights and freedoms. Every freedom or right that you think you have is hampered with technicalities and restrictions. Of course, you realize that these so called rights and freedoms are bestowed upon you by the government and can be taken away at any given moment. You've already lost most of them.
This country went through a great Civil War when several of the states withdrew from the union of the United States. That was because of economics, slavery and egos.
Since Washington, and particularly the Obama administration is dictating to the states and using coercion to make them comply to Washington's dictate, there is no longer any reason to be part of the United States of America. Each state can either survive on its own or merge with its neighbors. Large states like California and Texas can do very well on their own as they contain natural resources, manufacturing, farming and economic establishment.
Yes, I'm calling for secession from the United States. We no longer need Washington telling us how to live our lives. We no longer need Washington to tell us what to buy. We no longer need Washington to give away the fruits of our labor to other countries and those that are not deserving. Since our armed forces are only used to fight in other countries rather than protect our borders, they are worthless in defending the United States of America.
Enough is enough...it's time to take back our country from the corrupt politicians and ego maniacs that are in power now. Democracy has finally failed. Its downfall came once the liberal factions found out that they could vote away the property and money of the producing classes. The original reason for the income tax was to make sure that no one could ever become wealthy enough to revolt (exactly as Carl Marx wrote it).
You're being taxed into poverty. You may not see it yet. With the Trillions of dollars of debt that has been dumped on us in just two years, the only way out is to tax us until we are too poor and beaten down to resist.
We must act now; before it's too late. Many of those than can afford it are leaving, or have already left this country. Like it or not, we will engage in any one or more of the following in your lifetime if you don't act n0w:
A food war
An age war
A tax revolt
A race war
A resource war
You may think that this is too radical. Just look around, ask your friends and neighbors how they're not as well off as they were two years ago. Why is everyone saying that our children won't live as well as we have ?
The most practical solution is to disassemble the United States. Get rid of Washington completely. Get the United Nations off of our land. Bring our troops home to support the freedom of the states that they live in.
Institute a "Fair Tax" so everyone keeps more of their earnings (yes, we'll always need a Tax to support our local governments).
I don't know about you, but I want my FREEDOM back. I have the concept that I have RIGHTS...I want those respected, not stepped on by the tyrants of Washington. The Supreme Court no longer interprets the Constitution, it now makes LAW. The President no longer follows the Constitution, he dictates his will.
Since most of the media (TV, newspapers, magazines, bloggers, etc.) are controlled by Washington, you have to go out and find out what's really happening. You won't find it in you daily news.
How many times do you need to be lied to by those in Washington before you stop believing them ?
We must REVOLT or SECEDE now or forever lose our future.

All about oil ???

2011-03-29T07:16:00.000-07:00

I really don't understand what Obama is doing regarding oil.
In his speech last night, he left out why we really are in Libya. The real reason is to protect the oil fields there.
The problem is that Libyan oil goes to European countries (not us).
He was just down in Brazil and committed $2 Billion to help finance the George Soros owned offshore drilling, while getting in the way of drilling offshore in the United States.
Brazil does not need our money as
(1) they're one of the fastest growing economies in the world
(2) most of their vehicles run on alcohol
(3) they're totally independent from buying foreign oil
(4) there are numerous investors in Brazil's oil (Petrobas) ventures

Of the 192 countries in the world, the United States gives away tens of billions in "aid" to over 150 of them. Most of these countries are either our enemies or want to see the demise of America. Why we give money to China or Saudi Arabia is beyond any reasonable thinking.
In a recent interview with an official from China; when asked why they don't help out in world disasters or send military aid to conflicts around the world, his comment was, "We are building our country and our military and none of the problems in the world are ours to interfere with. Besides, if the United States wants to throw away their money on ungrateful people, that is in our best interest". Why is this administration borrowing billions to give away while increasing our debt to the rest of the world ?
Why do we give money to China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany, France, Canada, etc., etc., etc. ?
I don't want to believe that Obama is a complete IDIOT, but every day, by his actions, lies and agenda, I am convinced that he is either really stupid or very clever in dismantling our country.

By now we can see the hipocracy of this administration. They condemn the Bush administration for attacking Iraq. Before doing so, Bush got the approval of Congress (as laid out in our Constitution), while Obama committed our military to Libya without any approval from anyone.
I guess that he can do this as he is more of a Dictator than a President. He is "hell bent" on destroying our country and way of life by spending us into bankruptcy. By now, most of you know that he is the puppet of those that are directing the fall of the United States.
You all know that no other country will come to our aid when we're finally in the "dumpster".
We must get rid of Obama before he destroys us...........................

Truthful News

2011-02-20T16:07:00.000-08:00

The real news is starting to trickle in from the Middle Eastern countries about the recent protest mobs.
The press (controlled by the Obama administration) refuses to tell America what is really going on in Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Algeria, Jordan, etc. ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX and others were required to suppress the actual incidents taking place during these protests.
In just Egypt alone, over 2,000 people have been killed and the number of mass rapes is rising daily (even one of our reporters was mass raped in the streets of Cairo and the news reported it as "she was assaulted"). The looting and destroying of property has reached unprecedented proportions. All we get to see on the news are people celebrating the resignation of a "cruel dictator". If Mubarak is such a despot, why has this administration given him over $80 Billion ?
The point is that we are only shown "how wonderful" these protests are. We are not being shown what the majority of protesters are really doing. Now, their actions are to be expected since most of them are muslims and there is no moral code in islam. The koran gives them permission to rob, rape and murder under the present circumstances.
However, in America, our Constitution gives us the right to freedom of the press. Again, the Obama administration, ignoring the Constitution, has put a filter on the press because of "political correctness".
Are we not under the rule of a dictator too ? When do Americans start to protest ? Are we going to let our dictator (Obama) stay in office ?
Obviously, Americans are very complacent when all the information they get is "spin" from government controlled sources. Be very clear...you are not being told the entire story. Every day, this administration is pulling sneaky things with intimidation, underhanded deals and never published Executive Orders. Obama is merely a puppet being used as a dictator to bring down America.
Is it too late for Americans to stand up for our freedoms and prosperity ? Are you happy with the staggering unemployment (actually over 20%) ? Are you happy with inflation starting up ? Are you happy with our debt being increased twelve fold in the past two years ? Are you happy with the government printing more money (backed by nothing) in the past year than in the previous twelve years ?
Tell me what you're happy with ? Tell me how you're better off now, than you were two years ago.
WAKE UP.......you've been scammed this administration. Most of us that are starting to realize that Obama is killing this country see those that still believe in his "hope & change" as not only fools, but card carrying idiots.
If and when the protests occur in America, the killing and raping will not happen. Most of America has a moral code. We just want freedom, not more and more new laws, rules and oppressive departments. We already have so many regulations that most businesses are being choked out of existence.
If you think that you've "stashed away" a nest egg to get you through what's coming, you're a fool too. This administration is desperate for money. It won't be long before they attack your 401K, your pension, your Social Security, you bank savings...and finally revalue the dollar, making everything you have worth a lot less.
WAKE UP.................this administration does not deserve one more day in Washington.

Just a thought about 2012

2011-02-08T07:39:00.000-08:00

The other day, I was programming an old VCR to record a TV show. I noticed that it's date/ time feature was limited to 20 years. That meant that as of Dec. 1999 it would no longer be programmable for a date beyond that. Now here I am in 2011 still programming that VCR and ignoring the date. The time is the only reference that the VCR needs for today.
Taking that in mind, I realized that just because the date feature was no longer appropriate, the VCR still functioned perfectly.
This made me think about the Myan calendar which is expires in 2012. Obviously, this means that when they (the Myans) produced that calendar, they ran out of room to extend it beyond 2012. Just because their calendar ends in 2012 does not mean that everything else ends. The world will continue beyond 2012 as usual and the Myan calendar will be remembered as an artifact.
When the calendar on your wall runs out (Dec. 31st each year) the only thing that comes to an end is that years calendar. You just put up the newest year and start over. Nothing else stops.
Bottom line is that the world is not coming to an end in 2012, just the Myan calendar has run out of space to show dates beyond that.
Now you can rest easy knowing that your world will continue...

Who's the boss ???

2011-02-04T10:36:00.000-08:00

I thought that Obama was just President of the United States. Apparently, he thinks that he is Ruler of the World. Obama is dictating to Mubarak to leave office (or else). With one percent of the population of Egypt protesting in the capitol, the Egyptian government is worried about it being overthrown.
Can you imagine if one percent of the United States population (about 3 1/2 million people) protested outside of the White House and Putin told Obama to step down...
Obama ignores the will of the people (Obama Care is a perfect example), yet he tells other world leaders what to do about ignoring their citizens. Is Obama's ego that big that he thinks that he can solve all of the world's problems by dictating to everyone ?
If only this ego-maniac (Obama) would practice what he preaches, the United States would be well on the way to recovery.
Just today, Obama lied to us again. He said that unemployment went down almost one percent (actually .8%). Everyone is agreed that for every 3,000,000 jobs created, unemployment would drop one percent. So how does the most recent 36,000 jobs account for Obama's .8% ? Obviously, he isn't concerned with all of those people no longer collecting unemployment benefits, that have dropped out of the system.
Why can't we have a protest to have him removed from office ? There certainly are enough unemployed to have at least 1,000,000 people show up at the White House to shout, "Get out of Washington, Step down now". If a third world country can have its population protest enough to cause its ruling regime take notice, why can't a country as strong as the United States do the same thing in order to rid itself of a tyrant.
I'm ready, are you ???

Green Energy

2011-02-03T07:51:00.000-08:00

Well, the storms that we're all having are a real test of some of this "green energy" fad that we all are starting to notice. Besides being far more expensive than fossil fuels, it isn't at all efficient.
During the storms, electric cars, whose batteries run down faster in the cold, were left stranded all over the place while cars that ran out of gasoline were filled back up and went on their way.
Solar cells were covered with ice and snow, making them unusable and the low temperatures even cracked some of them. Plus they need to be replaced every so many years at great expense.
Wind turbines became frozen, thus producing nothing. These too have a finite life and expensive replacement.
The bottom line is that "green energy" works if you can afford it and only under ideal conditions. There is no "free lunch".

Out Commander and Cheif Liar

2011-01-02T22:12:00.000-08:00

Lie: 1. Something meant to deceive or give a false impression. 2. An act of omission.
Lies come in several different forms, such as not saying it the way it is, not telling it all, outright lie, "bending" the truth, omitting truths, etc.
Our President, Mr. Obama, with the help of some of his henchmen (and henchwoman) lies to us almost every time he addresses the press or the public.
Some examples are:
(1) He brags about how his stimulus package has created jobs.
The truth is that he has expanded gov't. with 400,000 new gov't. jobs. He refuses to mention that of the 6 million jobs lost in the private sector (2.5 million are permanently lost), not one has been created with the stimulus package.
(2) He talks about our energy problem and says that he wants to build new nuclear plants. He doesn't tell you that his policies about the environment and legislation passed by Democrats, prohibit any new nuclear plants being built.
(3) While on vacation, he signs a bill giving medical help to the first responders to 911. He does not tell you that he also created four more agencies at the same time.
I have hundreds of examples of his lies, half truths, etc.
Fortunately for him, he can blame everything that we're against on others. He "threw his own party under the bus", knowing full well that most of those voting for his Health Care Bill would not be re-elected. Now he can sit back and with this new Congress, he can take credit for everything they do to make this country better and blame them for any failures. He gets to have it both ways.
Most of you keep your heads buried in the sand and ignore finding out what this evil man (with the help of his evil henchmen, Pelosi, Reid, etc.) is really up to. His sole intent is to reduce this country to that of the rest of the world. His Health Care and Energy programs alone, will cause each of us more than we can realize while they will also cause even more unemployment.
So, when Obama brags about some "wonderful" new bill that he has signed, read the entire bill to see all of the other things that he has had his henchmen slip into it. As an example, over 50% of the Health Care Bill is loaded with things that have absolutely nothing to do with health care.
By your refusal to challenge what the press tells you, and your willingness to still believe in "Hope & Change", you will let this man destroy your way of life as well as your future. By now, there's no argument that Obama is an elitist, a socialist and a fool.

Buying GM stock

2010-11-19T11:29:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, General Motors (whom the gov't. bailed out) sold its IPO (Initial Public Offering) of new stock as well as other investors began trading in this stock. General Motors (GM) raised a bundle of cash to supposedly pay back some of the money that the gov't. gave it.
The big problem is that prior to this IPO, the Chinese army sold off U.S. Treasury bills to raise enough money to purchase 18% of the GM stock. Since China holds the largest amount of our debt, and the dollar is becoming almost worthless, the Chinese want out of any U.S. paper obligations. Instead, as they've been doing around the world, they actually ended up "trading" bad debt for an 18% stake in our largest automobile company, knowing that our gov't. won't let it fail.
This is like my mortgage company trading my mortgage for the supermarket in town. Pretty clever of those Chinese. They've been using our Treasury bills to buy up hundreds of square miles of natural gas saturated land in this country and buying up huge amounts of natural resources all over the world.
If you think that the Middle East is holding us "hostage" with their oil, get ready for China to "call the shots" on everything else.
You'd better learn to speak Chinese as they will be your masters in a few short years.

Interesting business model

2010-10-05T00:48:00.000-07:00

Have any of you wondered why the price of oil remains between $70 to $80 per barrel while the world is fighting off going into a depression ?
First, I say, "follow the money".
The arab states, led by Saudi Arabia came up with a plan to transfer the wealth of the world to the muslim world. The arabs sent their sons to the United States to become educated. Some of them looked at how one could use economics to control the world and used the "how to boil a frog" as their new business model.
Being that the world has become so dependent on oil and the Middle East supplies the majority of oil, it makes sense that they (OPEC) can manipulate the price. When oil was run up to over $140 per barrel, the commodity traders were being blamed. We now know that the major player in buying up Crude Oil futures contracts during the run up (over 85% of all oil futures contracts) was Saudi Arabia. This was their first test.
When they saw the housing market crash and Wall Street follow, as well as the economy of most European countries, they sold off their contracts and let the price of oil fall by 50%. They knew that if they forced a major depression on the world, it would certainly lead to World War Three. If that happened, they would become a victim of that war as every industrialized nation would attack them for the oil.
As the world recovers from the present recession, the price of oil will rise again, causing another small recession. This will continue until the wealth from the industrialized nations is transferred to OPEC.
Then, the muslim nations will be able to convert most of the world to islam with very little resistance.
Brazil saw this coming many years ago and did something about it. They only bought vehicles that ran on ethanol. They produced their own ethanol and now export 95% of the oil that they get out of the ground.
The United States is capable of doing the same thing. Right now, the U.S. imports about 70% of its oil from its enemies in OPEC. If we spent the next ten years manufacturing and selling "Flex Fuel" cars and finally, ethanol consuming cars, we wouldn't even be importing as much as 5% of our oil needs from OPEC.
Oil is used in almost everything we use today, such as plastics, fertilizers, drugs, fuels, building materials, etc.
Between the U.S. and Canada, we have enough oil to meet our non-gasoline needs for the next several hundreds of years.
To make this happen, Congress has to pass the "Flex Fuel Act" that increases the amount of vehicles that run on fuels other that gasoline to be manufactured each year by 10% per year until there are no more gasoline burning engines made. Not only will this get rid of our dependence on foreign oil but create thousands of jobs in the ethanol industry. Farmers will be needed to grow, harvest and deliver the agriculture that ethanol is made from; ethanol producing plants will have to be built and operated; gas stations will have to expand to sell ethanol and the industry, the money and the jobs will all stay here.
We already have several ethanol producing facilities around the U.S. If the demand grows, more of these plants will spring up. The war on terrorism is just a distraction from the real islamic plan.

The myth of islamaphobia

2010-09-12T19:05:00.001-07:00

OK, this islamaphobia has gone too far. It is not a phobia but a real fear.
First of all, do you understand that islam IS NOT a religion, it's a Political Ideology such as Nazism and Communism. Islam means "submission". Islam does not espouse a better life, it is all about being subservient.
The problem that exists today is that everyone is looking back and saying the the Christians did the same atrocities such as the Inquisition. That was then, the Holocaust happened...and that was then, etc.
Today, the largest birthrate throughout the world are muslims. And you know when they populate an area or nation by more than 2%, they become demanding and resort to violence as their koran instructs them to.
Let me ask you; how many muslims do you know that have showed any remorse, embarrassment or apologized
for 9/11 ??? The majority have outwardly praised the destruction of the Trade Center as an attack on "the heart of America".
This is not a religious war between America and islam. Islam attacked us and continues to do so not only from foreign countries, but from inside our country by citizens that are muslim.
Read the koran and you'll see that islam IS NOT a religion of peace and tolerance. The lie that it is was perpetuated by the islamic community. Unfortunately, most muslims in this country, have never read the koran all the way through. Muslims in the middle east are mostly illiterate and are told what it says by imams that don't quote it exactly.
The reason that islam is forced on others "By The Sword" is that no one would become a muslim otherwise.
Do you want to live under sharia law ? Do you even know what sharia law is ? Sharia law prohibits you from liberal education, scientific advancement, freedom of speech, etc. Females are considered as chattel and have no rights other than to serve their male masters to produce more muslims.
Get yourself educated about islam so you can understand that what are called "that small group of muslim radicals" is actually 99.9% of all muslims. Every day, in this country, muslims are arrested for plotting death and destruction in this country. The FBI trys to keep this quiet in order to not insight riots aqgainst the muslim communities in America. If you believe that most muslims are peaceful, you are helping their cause of taking over the world and instituting sharia law.
Being that islam is a political ideology, by imprisoning and deporting ALL muslims is not a violation of the Constitutional freedom of religion. Islam should be in the same category as the KKK or Nazis in this country.
ALL muslims should be stripped of their citizenship as they (by definition) are un-American. The rest should be deported to their countries of origin. If America isn't purged of islam soon, it will be too late.
Hey, I'm just saying it the way it is. Look into it for yourself....do a little research and you too will become alarmed.

His next mistake...

2010-08-14T14:43:00.000-07:00

There is a great controversy over the building of a mosque overlooking the site of the 9/11 attack on this country by muslims. In recent polls, over 70% of this country is totally against muslims using this area for their mosque and consider doing so to be "spitting on America".
By dictionary definition, islam is a CULT...not a religion. The definition reads like this, "...a religious sect generally considered extremist or false, with its followers under an authoritarian leader..."
Now, our glorious leader, the messianic Obama, forgetting that he has no say in relgious matters, comes forward to say, "muslims have the right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country, that includes the right to build a place of worship in lower Manhattan", at an Iftar meal at the White House for muslims breaking their Ramadan fast, late Friday.
What doesn't he (Obama) understand about the muslim occupation and threat to the United States ?
We certainly permit anyone to worship as they please (providing they break no laws). The problem is that islam is not a religion...it's a cult. This cult of islam is determined to attack the United States and infiltrate this country at every level in order to establish sharia law.
The lies that you've been led to believe are that islam is a religion of "love and tolerance". Did you notice how the entire muslim world loved the 9/11 attack ? Did you hear any muslims condemn it ? As far as their "tolerance", see how any other religion is trated in muslim countries. What does the koran say about this ? It says that all non-believers either be converted, or enslaved, or killed.
Does this sound like "love and tolerance" ?
Obama made a great mistake by saying anything about the mosque site. We all know that he is pro-islam, but most of us have forgotten about it until now. He has muslims roots and spent his christian worship at a church where radical, anti-America preaching was common.
Some of you see Obama as a "very intelligent man". In my opinion, only a fool and someone with less than half a brain would not only have a muslim dinner at the White House, but give credibility to the rise of islam in this country.
If you want a preview of what's to come, got to Great Britain or France to see how muslims have overrun these countries and forced alterations in their laws. This is just the beginning. There is no place in America for any cult that is determined to overtake it.
This is not a matter of freedom of religion...it's about a cult taking away your freedoms. They want it both ways; they can say and do anything they want against "non-believers", but no on is allowed to say or do anything against them (muslims) or they put a price on your head and are sworn to kill you.
Yes, this is the "religion of love and tolerance".

Understanding Liberalism

2010-08-03T17:30:00.000-07:00

All of these years I thought that liberalism was a mental disease. I spent time condemning those that had the idea of how to spend someone else's money. I was angered at those that wanted our borders left open. I looked down on people that didn't want to contribute to society. I abhorred anyone that wanted something for nothing.
Well, I finally understand...
Being that this world is made up of those that want to work and learn and those that couldn't care less about working or learning anything, a system for everyone's survival needed to be put in place. Over the past century, our government, with the guidance of liberals, educators, lawyers, preachers and loud activists have gradually instituted the wonderful system that we have in place today. Those that want to work, can. Those that don't want to work, don't have to.
Since this is the wealthiest country in the world, it seems that this system is working. This is probably why everyone is trying to get into the United States. We certainly aren't policing our borders or controlling immigration according to our laws. Anyone that's here (regardless of their legal status) that has a child born while they're here...the baby is automatically a citizen. Anyone prosecuted for a crime that has no documentation, receives either no penalty or one far less than a citizen does.
The best part is that, if you don't want to work, we'll give you free housing, clothing, food, transportation, medical care and even entertainment.
This country has so much money (mostly borrowed, these days) that we can afford to give it away to anyone that wants it, with one exception; if you are working or contributing in any way, then you're exempted from being eligible for any freebies or benefits. You actually do much better if you give up your citizenship and stop working at any job that pays less than $65,000 a year. After all deductions, $65,000/ year will leave you with about $35,000/ year, and if you drop out, you can get over $45,000 per year in possessions and benefits. We even have enough left over to give to other nations that hate us, in hopes that we can buy their friendship.
I guess that the liberals got it right,,,everybody gets to survive. No one has to be responsible for anything if they don't want to (we'll even raise your kids for you).
Why do the conservatives want to stop all of this giveaway that we have going ? Don't conservatives understand that if we stop all of this liberalism, we might all have to go back to work and there won't be anyone here to mow our lawns, pick our fruit or hand us our hamburgers. There will be so many businesses without enough workers, the national debt will rapidly shrink and everyone will be purchasing more than they ever did before. Even the government can spend more on silly grants, museums and other non-essential projects. What's the matter with you conservatives, anyway ???
Ya gotta love liberal America..............................................................

Europe and then us....

2010-08-01T10:28:00.000-07:00

I've been wondering about the growing anti-islam bigotry rising in this country. In my looking into it, I've discovered that there is a concentrated effort to make the United States a muslim nation.
As we see, France and Great Britain are rapidly being taken over by this generation of muslims. The big problem with this is that:
(1) The practice of sharia law; which is cruel, inhumane and ridiculous.
(2) Under islam edicts, all progress must halt.
(3) No other belief systems (religious or political) can be tolerated.
(4) All "non-believers" must be converted or enslaved or killed.
READ the koran and then you decide if there are any "good" muslims...

By the government's own figures, over 300,000 muslims have been in this country illegally in just the past 12 months. These are students that never attended a school, those that came as visitors and their visas have expired and those that have come across our north and south borders without any documentation. In Mexico, there are 6 schools to teach muslims to speak Spanish so they can blend in with the Hispanic population merging into this country. It's even easier for them to come in from Canada, illegally, at night.
Hezbollah is already establishing themselves in Mexico with ties to the drug cartels, and will soon set up cells in the United States.

The mosque that the muslims want to build in New York, next to the 9/11 site is their way of showing "victory" (in the words of the imam that's building the mosque). This imam is a member of al-quada and refuses to account for the money being used ($100 million) to build this mosque. He is a known radical that preaches hatred of America and is being "watched" by the DHS. He is being shown every courtesy by Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama because it's the "politically correct" thing to do.

Are you satisfied to let what's happening in Europe, happen here ? Do you really want to live under religious persecution ? This administration is doing nothing about this threat and keeping as quite as possible about it.
We've all been conned about the "few radicals" amongst the muslims....that's BULLSHIT !!! In order to be a muslim, you must practice intolerance of others, you must be prepared to die (for no reason), you must be prepared to kill anyone (including your own family), you must consider women as possessions and hold farm animals to a higher esteem, you must never tell the truth unless you have something to gain, you must never question the words or ideals of a religious leader and you must believe everything he tells you even if you know it's wrong or not so.

The ELEPHANTS in the room...

2010-07-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

We hear the expression "Elephant in the room...". This means that there is an issue so large and frightful that no one wants to talk about it.
Well, obviously, the Obama controlled press certainly won't bring the following issues to the public, so it has become my job (I guess).
Let's start out with all of the corruption in our government.
Every day we hear about some Senator or Representative abusing their power, not paying their taxes, doing deals "under the table" and outright breaking the law. Because of this, dozens of "Oversight Committees" have been formed, thus creating jobs and larger government. Interestingly, these new committees, new agencies and new departments whose job it is to "oversee" the existing corruption, is not only making our government larger under the guise of "job creation". The big problem with this is that all of these newly formed groups are either headed by very inexperienced people (as payback favors for getting Obama elected) and are staffed by inexperienced people.
This brings us to another issue (Elephant)...all of these new groups are overwhelmingly run and staffed by minorities, qualified or not. No one wants to talk about the "reverse racism" being practiced by the White House. This administration has caused the largest divide between the races that any of us has every seen before.
Obama struts around saying that he got the Health Care bill passed, the Stimulus bill passed and the Financial Reform bill passed. Notably, approximately 75% of Americans are against these bills, as well as the provisions in them that have nothing to do with the bills themselves (read them and see for yourself). That was only because of backroom deals with members of Congress that can be "bought" and the 60 members of the Senate that Obama owns. He has totally divided the Congress as Democrats versus Republicans, regardless of what the issue is.
Another Elephant...Next Friday (7/30/2010) will be the 94th anniversary of the "Black Tom Attack" on this country. Most of you probably have never heard about this. On Sept. 30th, 1916, Germans that had infiltrated our country and been living here (illegally) for years, blew up one of our largest arms stockpiles on Black Tom Island in New York. Today, because of our "political correctness", we have thousands of anti-American muslims spread throughout this country getting themselves ready for the next 9/11 event. The press never tells you about the hundreds of times in recent years that muslims in this country have been found with deadly biologicals or huge amounts of explosives. They say that these incidents aren't publicized because they don't want us to "panic". That's not true...if you knew of just a fraction of the threats to our lives, you'd want every muslim thrown out of this country. Just like the Germans in 1916, the muslims that are here now are this century's wave of anti-American infiltrators.
Another Elephant is how Congress spends our money...Yes, it's our money, not theirs. If you look through the pages of the U.S. budget, you'll see that we have to borrow money from other counties (such as China) and pay interest on these loans in order to give away billions of dollars to other countries. As an example:
$40 Billion to Mexico
$35 Billion to Lebanon
$18 Billion to Columbia
$40 Billion to Russia
...and the list goes on and on.
Is it any wonder that we have starving and homeless in this country when we're giving away your money to 77 other nations and organizations around the world ?
So, when are you going to voice your discontent with this administration ? Do you have the guts to vote them all out in November ? Does your state have the guts to enforce laws against illegals ? What do I need to do to motivate you to start screaming at your government and change things so that America can be free and wealthy again ???

Another hoax....

2010-07-14T06:29:00.000-07:00

Well, this regime (administration) is living up to its mantra of "never let a good crisis go to waste".
Obama is against "Big Oil" so everywhere we look, we're shown pictures of oil drenched swampland, oil soaked birds, people cleaning up oil balls, etc.
This has all of us going along with the "moratorium" o drilling for oil in the Gulf.
After speaking with several people that volunteered to help clean birds and the beaches, they all said that they left because there was little to do. The pictures and videos that we see on the news are isolated incidents and that the fishing was great. This is why the local fishermen in the gulf states are against the "moratorium" because it includes shutting down all fishing and related enterprises, including the support industries for both the oil industry and the fishing industry; thus unemploying tens of thousands of wage earners.
The White House is not responsible for creating jobs. If they quit making stimulus packages, new rules and laws and just get out of the way, the private sector can recover easily.
The White House also has a new way of counting new jobs. If you pay me $50 to mow your back forty, and I pay you $50 to mow my back forty...the government then says that two new jobs were created and the GNP went up by $100.
Write or call your Congress and tell them to get out of the way. Nowhere in the Constitution does it give the government the power to determine our fiscal opportunities.
Although I frown on conspiracy theories, I'm almost convinced that this Congress, in realizing that they are all about to lose their "cushy" jobs, are planning on taking the rest of us down with them by destroying the economy of the United States.
This administration has already dived the citizens of this country by age, race, economic status, etc.
We want everyone removed from our government (Federal as well as local), and get new people in these positions of power so we can move forward.

Financial Reform Bill

2010-07-08T12:14:00.000-07:00

Just like the Health Care Bill, the 2,315 page Financial Reform Bill (S.3217) has little to do with financial reform. First of all, not knowing what's in it, the House of Representatives voted for it in June.
Most of the bill is not about finance, but about controlling more of America.
As an example; there is one whole section that addresses employment. It states that all financial institutions and their contacts and customers must have a diverse employment policy based on the latest census. More specifically, every bank, brokerage firm, advisory service and rating agency must employ the same percentage of race, sexual orientation and ethnicity that the most recent census shows this country to have. It goes on to say that every business that uses these institutions and companies must also have the same diversity in their employees. In other words; if you have a small business, the bank that you write your checks from, can not have you as a customer unless your employees fit the same diversity as the government deems to be that of America.
This provision alone is worse than the failed Affirmative Action Bill from years ago.
The loopholes that the bill contains, restrict the way the financial institutions only slightly and it's "business as usual" for them.
This isn't Financial Reform...this is Hiring Reform.
However, you won't know about it because no one in Congress has read it. Just like the Health Care Bill, you'll find out how it hurts (rather than helps) this country, only after it's passed and initiated.
Since most of Congress knows that we'll probably vote them out soon, they are "hellbent" on doing the most amount of damage that they can before they have to change careers.
Sure, just like we needed a reasonable Health Care Bill, we also need a Financial Reform Bill; but certainly not what Congress has voted for and will shove down our throats.
Why do these bills need so many pages ? So no one will read them in their entirety and remove everything that doesn't pertain to the original intent of these bills.
Why do you continue to pay these people (yes, their your employees) that are screwing us so badly ?
Would you keep an employee that was doing damage to your business ? Of course not.
Let's get these bastards out of our government. I even urge you to RECALL the President and Vice President.
It doesn't matter what Party they're affiliated with; if they're in office, they must go.

Oil Spills

2010-07-04T17:20:00.000-07:00

No matter what news you watch, read or listen to, you're immersed in news about the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The last time an oil spill got this much attention was with the Exxon Valdez in Alaska.
What I want to know is why when there's a spill in the United States that it makes the news. If you look around the world, you'll see that much more oil is being spilled everywhere else.
As an example; Nigeria has had the equivalent of two Exxon Valdez's every year since 1979. What about the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by a Mexican driller that lasted over nine months....no one reported that.
Saudi Arabia spills more oil each year than all the oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico since drilling there began.
Iran had huge oil spills in 1972, 1983 and 1985; yet not one word in the news. What about the massive oil spill in Iraq in 1991 ? How about the massive oil spill by Venezuela ? We'll never know how much Russia is spilling, but estimates make the BP disaster look like a trickle.
Sure, this recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is huge and newsworthy, but so are the spills made by other countries. Why does it make the news only when it happens to America ?
It's part of the "cost of doing business" to have oil spills when you're dealing with such huge quantities of oil.
Do you think that the drillers want to lose a single barrel of oil with prices as high as they are ? Of course not.
They are doing their best to get every drop of oil to the marketplace.
The BP oil spill is certainly not the first and won't be the last. You drill, you spill.
The real culprits behind these spills are the governments (ours included) that either permit drillers to do as they wish or restrict them to the point where it's only a matter of time until there's a giant oil spill.
Now,our government has us running around screaming "the sky is falling" and using this most recent accident to promote their agenda for alternate fuels and power. Until the technology, for these alternative sources are improved, they are still very costly and cumbersome.
Sure, we should be concerned about the BP problem; however, we should be just as concerned about any waste of energy or oil and how it's wrecking our environment, the planet and eventually, our way of life.
C'mon, BP aren't the only "bad guys" in the oil business.
The obvious solution to avoiding any oil spills in the future is for the world to stop using oil for anything.....no more cheap food, no more cheap clothing, no more cheap transportation, 75% of all drugs can no longer be made, no more plastics, etc.
Whether you love or hate the oil companies, until you're ready to step back 200 years in your way of life and its creature comforts, you're stuck with the need for oil. So quit your bitching about it.

VAT

2010-07-02T12:16:00.000-07:00

Your Congress just voted a $10 Billion for teachers. This is to buy votes in November.
After you vote in all those incompetent bastards, in December there will be revealed Obama's Value Added Tax.
First, Obama will start screaming about our debt to panic Congress into voting for this VAT.
This will be accomplished by the bond crisis that is being planned in the White House as I write this.
Yes, a BOND CRISIS is being carefully planned by Obama and his cohorts.
After they vote in a VAT, it will be increased every year after that.
So, Obama's promise that any tax hikes will not affect anyone making less than $250,000/ year is a LIE. The VAT will be on EVERYTHING that you purchase (in addition to the taxes on those items already).
Once there is a Bond Crisis, no nation will loan us money and will start to recall the Treasury Notes that they already hold. In order to pay them back, a new tax will be levied on us...This will be called the Value Added Tax.
Not only has the White House declared to not wasting a good crisis, they are now plotting to have one.
With a VAT in place, most corporations will be forced to relocate overseas, increasing unemployment, reducing the incomes of those still working and letting the government take over existing companies, thus making gov't. the only major employer. The jobs aren't being outsourced, the companies and corporations are moving out.
This will eradicate the middle class and make them part of the poor. The poor will be so large that they will become dependent solely on gov't. handouts and will vote in anyone promising them any "freebie".
We are rapidly moving towards a Communist society with Obama setting it up. His picture already hangs between Stalin and Mao. Those that hate America, cheer at his every move.
He wants illegal aliens to be made legal.
He wants our power to win a war restricted (ask anyone in Afghanistan).
He wants everything that we produce to have restrictions that make it impossible to stay in business.
He already has forced a $10 trillion ObamaCare down your throat.
He has already stepped on our Constitution.
He, personally has used his power in illegally firing heads of private and public corporations.
He is acting a a foreign agent dedicated to the destruction on this country.
You idiotic liberals, just keep driving around with your Obama stickers on your car as he makes it impossible for you to own or drive it.
You think that you'll be OK because you have investments, property and savings ? With new legislation, your investments and property will be heavily taxed and your savings will be penalized; all to the point that they cease to exist. Before he's finished with you, the gov't. will own, regulate and supervise every aspect of your life. The only difference between you and the slaves of the past is that you won't have a steel chain around your neck. By making the majority of you poor, chains are no longer needed.
Look at all the damage Obama has already done...and we have two and a half more years for his destructive agenda.
You idiots voted in a person that you knew nothing about. Now you're getting what you deserve. The problem is that those that didn't vote for him are being punished too. The sad part of this is that most of the people that voted for Obama (and the other liberals) are so ignorant that they would do it again.
We will all suffer while the world continues to laugh at how stupid Americans are.
Yes, a Value Added Tax is coming. So, get ready to earn less and pay more.

Hooray for BP...

2010-06-21T06:08:00.000-07:00

There's no question that it's BP's accident and they're responsible for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. There is no argument that BP must pay for all the damage, lost income and wages as well as cleanup and other related items.
However, Obama in his arbitrary decision to put a moratorium on all drilling and that BP must pay the laid off workers was beyond his authority. This is not a dictatorship and we have a Congress that decides these things.
Today, BP stood up to Obama and said that they refuse to pay workers that are laid off because of Obama's decision. In addition, the other oil companies are going to court to have the moratorium lifted as there is no reason for this.
No matter how much we try to take care and prevent problems, it's just "Murphy's Law" that eventually accidents do and will happen. This is not to forgive these accidents and the responsible parties, but for our President to make a decision without any basis and without presenting it to Congress is unconscionable. He is wild with power...what's he going to do next ?

2010-06-19T22:09:00.000-07:00

During my lifetime, the only incident of the general public's disrespect for the President of the United States was during the Nixon-Watergate fiasco.
However, I have never seen such disrespect for our President as is being done to Obama. Not only does the media call him everything from a "liar" to a "hitler", but members of Congress even call him a liar, publicly.
It has become clearer each day that Obama is merely a "figurehead" and is only occupying the seat of President. The White House is actually being run by Rahm Emanuel. Have you noticed the copious amount of bad decisions being made by Obama ?
After reading Obama's favorite book, "Rules for Radicals" did I see what the White House agenda really is. Emanuel winds up the "Obama doll" and lets him loose while
Emanuel puts his agenda forward without taking any of the blame.
Not since Lyndon Johnson has our government been seen as a regime until this administration.
No wonder, people (even Congressmen) feel obligated to apologize for Obama's actions (or lack of). Obama has taken the highest office in the land and reduced its prestige to that of your local dog catcher. At first, I was appalled at the gross disrespect for our President, and as the months went by, I could see how Obama has truly earned the disrespect shown to him.
Of course, we've always made jokes about some of the ridiculous things that our Presidents have done, but not until the Obama regime have people looked down on the man in the oval office with the vengeance, animosity and disrespect that they regard Obama with.
Americans that voted for this fraud are starting to question why they voted for someone that they knew nothing about. When the questions came up about his citizenship, his being in two places at the same time (Harvard and Iran), where the money came from for his education, his college transcripts, his religious beliefs, his radical anti-American education...(to name a few), few of you chose to look into these things and he got away with "pulling the wool over your eyes".
Even a President that we made the most fun of, George Bush is being credited with taking more appropriate action when confronted with problems than Obama has (or will).
So, just remember that Rahm Emanuel is running this country with Hillary Clinton taking her "marching orders" from him. That being said, don't forget how Nancy Pelosi has Emanuel under her thumb.
When all is said and done, the people running (ruining) our country sit in the background so they can continue their schemes, unnoticed.

2010-06-17T10:59:00.000-07:00

It's incredible, the political gyrations that this administration is doing with "not wasting a good disaster".
Obviously, BP bears responsibility for the cause if the oil spill in the Gulf. We already know that one of the safety features was faulty and they chose to continue operations without repairing it (a blow-by valve). The problem of all this mess lies directly at the feet of Obama himself.
Here is why;
There are several deep water wells that are three to five times deeper than this BP well that have been operating without incident. Should a problem of this kind occur, there are protocols in place to rapidly contain it.
This is not the first time that this exact same problem has happened. When it happened in the North Sea, off the coast of Peru, offshore Venezuela and several other spots around the world, procedures were put into effect and in every case, the oil flow was stopped within 48 hours.
The protocol calls for the gas and oil coming up to be immediately ignited and left burning until the flow is stopped. Then a undersea robot is sent down to bend the pipe over 180 degrees, thus shutting off the oil and gas from escaping.
Here's why that didn't happen...when the White House was first informed about the BP tragedy, Obama was advised to "let it go for a few days" and the EPA was instructed to demand that the oil and gas fire (already happening) was to be extinguished. When other oil companies (from other nations with experience with this type of mishap) volunteered to come and aid immediately, Obama declined because he didn't want any ships not of U.S. registry or flying foreign flags in our coastal waters.
This now guaranteed that the oil would continue to flow, giving Obama a chance to shut down all offshore oil production by U.S. firms and in U.S. waters.
The aftermath is that without any legal authority, Obama personally played his Chicago thuggery on BP CEO Tony Hayward and "shook him down" for a $20 billion escrow account and an additional $100 million for out of work oil company employees.
This knee-jerk reaction is like grounding all planes if just one should crash and then demanding that the airlines pay their out of work employees. Drilling and oil production continues in the Gulf by companies not affiliated with U.S. oil firms.
After seeing the treatment that Tony Hayward and BP were getting, all foreign oil companies are already starting to leave U.S. waters and not have any further dealings with the United States. So, if we can't drill in Alaska or off our shores and companies like Shell, Statoil, Aramco, etc. will stop dealing wih us; where do we get our oil from in the future ?
Has Obama and Emanuel really thought this out ??? Regardless, get ready for a gov't. takeover of another industry (oil), much higher prices for fuel and a deeper recession. This is the "change" that Obama promised us...
I'm not pleading a case for BP. They screwed up and are now paying for it. I'm just letting you know that all the damage to the environment and loss of income to the Gulf states is totally Obama's fault.

President's speech...

2010-06-16T05:07:00.000-07:00

Well, Obama got our attention, and we all tuned in to hear him tell us what's happening regarding the Gulf catastrophe. He took valuable air-time to make what sounded to me more like campaign rhetoric than a Presidential update.
He lied when he said that ..."he authorized the building of barrier islands". The Governors of various states got tired of waiting for authorization and went ahead without federal approval.
He told us that he was expanding gov't. again with a "national committee" to look into what happened and how to prevent it again.
He told us that he put a 6 month moratorium on offshore drilling. There are over 400 oil platforms in the gulf (mostly foreign nations) that will continue drilling as the U.S. has no authority over them. This is like grounding all planes because one has crashed.
We all expected a plethora of details regarding what the gov't. was doing and details about this disaster...again, NOTHING.
This speech was really a "rally" for green energy. I thought that Al Gore had written it.
I saw no reason that he had to bring God into this speech.
In the end, he left us with more confusion over what he's asking of us and what is actually being done.
Here was a golden opportunity to show us what a great leader he was and he totally failed everyone. We need a President that's strong, instead of this incompetent, clueless, arrogant buffoon. Even more of his original "followers" are disappointed with him.

Oil spill solutions

2010-05-31T07:45:00.000-07:00

A lot was learned from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska about how to keep the shoreline pristine.
American Products Enterprises Corp. has an EPA tested and approved product called HTP that absorbs all oil and oil products and is ten times more effective than clay.
Aabaco Environmental has a product called Bio-AAbsorb that was used on the Alaskan shore and the microbes in this product cleaned up their beaches. These microbes thrive on oil and the byproduct is rich soil.
New World Inovations, Inc. has a unique item called Squid-Eco that has been used around the world to surround similar oil leaks and contain them as they come to the surface to be collected vacuumed up.
Obama has told us that he's in charge and doing everything possible to stop the gusher and protect our beaches. That's absolute Bull...; he has rejected all of the above companies proposals to use their products. These are all tried and proven, as well as very effective; yet, this administration is following the advise of Obama's closest friend that said, "never let a good disaster go to waste". Now, the government can shut down all offshore drilling. The Democrats have been pushing for this for years.
We can blame the government agencies or BP or Haliburton or whoever we want. However, since Obama has declared that he's in charge of this mess, then the remainder falls at his feet. Hundreds of people and companies have offered solutions from the absurd to the very practical and have all been either ignored or rejected. Does Obama think that the government knows more than the experts that work in the oil industry ? BP has requested that Obama at least let then "try" some of these alternative solutions and has been turned down.
Obama is so on top of this that, here on Memorial Day, instead of being at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier or at Arlington National Cemetery, he's at home in Chicago, partying with his family...

Another LIE...

2010-05-30T08:46:00.000-07:00

Just like the muslims tell us that islam is a "religion" of peace and tolerance, when it's quite the opposite, the Latinos have their lie.
The lie is that they are hardworking and pay taxes.
The truth is:
(1) Of the thousands of gangs in this country, over 90% are Latino.
(2) The flow of drugs into this country comes primarily from Latin-American countries.
(3) Latinos pay NO TAXES. When those that do file a tax return, they say that they have 10 dependents and not only get back any taxes that they may have paid but get even more because of the "earned income" provision.
(4) Mexico has set up schools to teach their people how to enter the U.S. (illegally) and apply for every "freebie" benefit available.
(5) There are schools in Mexico to teach islamic terrorists to speak and act like Mexicans before they illegally cross into the U.S.
(6) The President of Mexico has ordered our President to not enforce any immigration laws with the 1200 troops that are being sent to the border. Obama has told these troops to only enforce gun and drug trafficking laws.
(7) The majority of Latinos get some form of taxpayer funded aid.
(8) The majority of Latinos work "off the books" and pay no taxes or Social Security or Medicare.
(9) Illegal aliens are prosecuted 20 times less than U.S. citizens for the same crimes.
(10) Illegal aliens carry no auto insurance or drivers licenses even though they are on our roads.
If this isn't enough, let me know and I'm happy to give you as many examples of this (and more) to let you know just how much you're being ripped off by the lackadaisical attitude this administration has regarding this issue.

Oil spill ???

2010-05-27T11:27:00.000-07:00

Notice how involved with the BP oil disaster the President is.
He refers to it as a "spill" when it's actually a HUGE DISASTER. A spill is when a cup of coffee is knocked over. What's happening in the Gulf is a lot more than just a spill.
In his press conference today, he said that this was "the worst disaster of its kind...".
Obviously, he is once again not knowing what he's talking about. 30 years ago, a Mexican oil company had this same problem and it lasted over 9 months, making this one look like just a "spill".
From the beginning of this disaster, Bobby Jindal (Governor of Louisiana) has been begging this administration for help. The help that has been given is that Homeland Security and a SWAT team was sent to Louisiana. In today's press conference said that "the government was in charge"; the other day he said that "this is BP's fault and their responsible for fixing it".
Bobby Jindal has several solutions yet every time he requests assistance he's told that the Army Core of Engineers has to approve it first.
Why do you think that Cynthia Quarterman (head of Mineral Management Systems) resigned today ? It was her department that gave the "go ahead" to BP to bypass certain steps that could have avoided this from ever happening.
Meanwhile, there are committees, inquiry panels, witch hunts, etc. with everyone blaming everyone for who is at fault, while the government is stopping any progress that the knowledgeable people in the Louisiana Gulf can be doing in cleaning up this mess.
One reason is that the Governor of Louisiana is a Republican, and as one of Obama's advisers said..."never let a good disaster go to waste"; so Obama is not going to let Gov. Jindal take any credit for solving this problem.
Bottom line...Obama would rather sit around and think about it than do anything about it.
Did you notice that during the memorial for the men that died when the platform blew up, Obama wasn't there, but at a fund raiser. He's not only stupid, but doesn't care about any of us. We all care about getting this problem solved by whatever means possible...then we can ponder over whose fault it is. At this point, it's obvious that BP got permission to avoid certain precautions and blew a critical seal. From that point on, it is the governments fault for not letting the people that can stop this from doing the job. I hold the government 50% responsible, BP is 10% responsible and Obama is 40% responsible. Your president is an immature, phony, lieing, incompetent, unconcerned pretender to the throne.

Our Schools...

2010-05-27T05:50:00.000-07:00

Everybody has their hand out for government money.
Our Public School System is asking the federal gov't. for $28 billion so they won't have to lay off 100,000 teachers.
Some of the reasons for the schools running out of money are:
(1) Illegal aliens crowding our schools
(2) New schools recently built, have stadiums, auditoriums and landscaped campuses that make most colleges "drool with envy"
(3) Teaching subjects that should be extra-curricular, such as Band, Sport teams, Ethnic studies, Wood shop, etc.
(4) less than 1/2 of required subjects are the important ones, such as Reading, Writing, Math, Science and History
(5) Public school salaries are about 20% more than Private school salaries.
(5) Administrators and Coaches salaries are extremely high
Public schools have a goal of having every child go to college. This is done by teaching them to pass tests rather than learn the subjects. Not everyone is wanting or capable of going to college. What became of the Public Trade Schools that we used to have ? Many students at the High School level attended these schools and learned important trades and skills that afforded them great careers, such as plumbing, auto repair, air conditioning, electronics and electrical installation, computer maintenance, farm equipment, etc.
The Teacher's Union(s) are screaming about layoffs as the incompetent teachers might have to go. Many teachers have such behavioral and language problems in their classes that most of their teaching day is devoted to "baby sitting" their students.
Again, we see a failure of government run programs.
One solution might be for the gov't. to issue vouchers to anyone that wants their children to be well educated in private schools.
Home schooling has become so popular (and growing rapidly) because the Public School System IS NOT teaching our children the basics needed to survive in this society. Just look at how illiterate and unknowledgeable most of the High School students you know are.
The main reason for this is that the REAL goal of the Public School System is not education but teaching our children to "conform to society" Do you remember the very first thing that you were taught when you started going to school ? Yes, it was a "fire drill", where we were all taught to hold hands and go down the hall in single file. That was our first indoctrination and continued throughout our elementary and high school years with seating order, grading systems that deteriorated from the 0 - 100%, to the A - F, to finally Pass - Fail.
The system can't be fixed with just more money. It needs to be completely overhauled to meet this generation's needs.

No more follwing the law...

2010-05-21T11:12:00.000-07:00

I always thought that when a government official took an oath "...to uphold the laws of the United States of America", that they were obligated, no matter what, to uphold our laws. Secretary Janet Napolitano of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) was asked why she refused to deport illegal aliens from Arizona, she said that she was told that the President (Obama) is against the law and to not cooperate with the state of Arizona.
Later, John Morton ( Assistant Secretary of ICE) said that they "were too busy with other matters to help Arizona".
The law specifies exactly what the duties of ICE are regarding illegal aliens...NO EXCEPTIONS.
So, does this mean that all the President has to do is just say that he's for or against something and we can all forget about our laws, a Congressional vote or any other thing that would take place outside of a dictatorship ?
It appears that King Obama has spoken and the law is no longer the law. A "swearing in" to uphold our laws is merely a "formality" that no one expects to honor.
Well, there goes another breakdown of our Constitution, the laws of this land and certainly more of our freedoms and rights. I guess we don't have to wait until November 2012 to vote for a new President as Obama will declare himself King, or Emperor, or God, or whatever by then.
Before Obama, no matter how badly the country was being run, there still was no better place to live than the United States of America. Now, several other places are starting to look better.

Newspeak...

2010-05-14T10:50:00.000-07:00

In listening to the liberal left describe various "peoples" in a politically correct vocabulary, I get confused.
Can anyone tell me the difference between an "undocumented worker" and an "illegal alien"? Either way, they've broken the unenforced laws of the United States of America.
Can anyone tell me the difference between a "radical islamist" and a "muslim" ? In reading their koran, anyone practicing islam is a radical...all the others that claim to be muslim are frauds or liars.
Please let me know the differences as I don't see it.

You do the math....

2010-05-10T09:32:00.000-07:00

I see everywhere (in the gov't. controlled media) that the economy is "picking up"; that people are going back to work. They just released the figures showing that 177,000 people went back to work last month.
If this is so, how did the (gov'ts. numbers) unemployment rate go UP from 9.7% to 9.9% in this same period ? What am I missing ???
Of course, you understand that out of that 177,000, a large amount are temporary workers taking the census and their jobs will vanish soon. Most of the rest of these people have taken "any job" because their benefits have finally run out.
Perhaps, that's the answer...stop all unemployment benefits and people will find jobs.

2010-05-05T01:26:00.000-07:00

The size of our government is the largest that it has ever been, filled with departments and agencies that are either redundant or totally unnecessary.
In trying to "create jobs", the Obama administration has created more departments and agencies than any other president. At last count, there were 598 departments and agencies that comprise our government. They each consist of as few as 12 people and as many as tens of thousands of people, all receiving annual salaries from $62,000 to over $200,000.
Is it any wonder that this country's annual budget is so large (and unsustainable) ?
Not only are the salaries extremely high for what most of them do, they also get many other benefits (such as free medical coverage and retirement packages), all at your expense.
Our government has become the largest employer in this country, filling newly created positions with, in some cases, the unqualified and hard core unemployable.
Some of the people most recently hired have no education beyond the 6th grade and some are so illiterate that they sign their paychecks with a check mark.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see people having jobs, but not being paid for totally unnecessary work (if and when they show up) out of taxpayer money.
A large amount of these departments and agencies have been created only during the past 14 months. This country functioned well without them and can do just fine if they were eliminated. Talk about Big Government; it's so large that no one really knows the total extent of it.
We've all heard about companies that were "too large to fail"; well, we have a government that's "too large to succeed".
To make matters worse, this huge workforce owes their jobs to the government and is obligated to vote for the very people that have created these unnecessary positions that they now occupy. What a great way to "buy votes" with your money.
The corruption in these agencies is unprecedented, with people never having to come to work and still getting paid as though they were there and there was meaningful work for them to do.
Wouldn't you like a job that paid you over $60,000 to over $200,000 a year that you never had to show up for ? The answer is obvious.
One of the worst people taking advantage of wasting your money is Michele Obama, with her outrageous spending on personal items to take with her when the Obamas have to get out of Washington.
Because of all of this wasteful spending, your taxes will have to be increased so that the government can keep expanding regardless of the need for this expansion; and the only thing that you ca do about it is to vote out every person in office the first chance that you get. It's either that or to have a second Revolutionary War...

Is this the last straw ???

2010-04-29T17:48:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that our representatives are playing politics on such a sensitive matter as dealing with illegal aliens.
Today, the Democrats in the Senate, proposed a bill that would guarantee all illegal aliens their jobs and that after one year, "they could" apply for citizenship .
Then, after he Republicans said that they'd having nothing to do with this as it was amnesty concealed as immigration reform; the Democrats accused them of holding up immigration reform.
All of this is "children in the playground". The Democrats are so afraid of not being re-elected that they want to get the Hispanic vote by making as many illegals into voters.
Bottom line is...ILLEGAL is illegal. If you or I break a law, we're penalized. If an illegal breaks a law they are not penalized, and in some cases, rewarded at the expense of the taxpayer. You murder someone, you go to jail or are executed...an illegal murders someone and they are deported, enabling them to illegally return again.
Who is running the "asylum" ? Obviously, Obama, his cronies, ACORN and the Democrats must have a vested interest in turning over America to the horde of illegals that keep coming here every day for the welfare, free food, untaxed income, and virtually no responsibility to anyone. They are not required to get driver's licenses or auto insurance. Yet when they cause an accident and even kill someone, they are represented for free and usually get no jail or other penalty.
If you're not fed up with this by now, then you must be a liberal Democrat that is not interested in making America better, but, hell-bent on its destruction.
90% of all drugs are brought into the U.S. from Mexico by illegal aliens. 65% of all violent crimes are done by illegal aliens. More than 50% of the illegal aliens in this country do not need, nor have any visible source of income; the rest, own homes and businesses under false names.
...and the worst part is that practically all of them have no intention of becoming citizens. They come for the "freebies" that you the taxpayer suckers are letting them have.
This November, you MUST vote out everyone in Washington that you can or acknowledge that you are a major part of America's demise.

Illegal aliens

2010-04-29T10:37:00.000-07:00

Arizona's new law requiring anyone stopped for a violation or crime must prove that they're in Arizona LEGALLY, is causing great concern to the Obama administration.
First of all, the Arizona law doesn't go into effect until latter this year; second, it is not "racial profiling" in that one must have violated a law or ordinance before they can be challenged to prove their legal status regardless of their race.
The reason that Arizona has made this law is:
(1) Arizona residents are afraid to leave their homes for fear of the overwhelming amount of burglaries by illegal aliens.
(2) The Obama administration will not enforce the already existing illegal immigration laws already "on the books".
(3) States Rights are being denied.
In Obama's systematic disassembly of this country, he is creating the greatest divide between the races and the eradication of the middle class.
Obama has already instructed his army (ACORN) to organize protest groups to push for amnesty. The main reason for this is to either have 20 million new voters to stop the obvious overthrow of the Democrats in Congress. ACORN was very successful in getting millions of illegals to vote for Obama and will do it again.
As a side note: We are told that Americans won't take the jobs that illegals will. This was disproved just this week, when an employer in Arizona fired 355 illegals from his business and those jobs were filled by Americans within one day.
Another reason Obama is afraid of the Arizona law is that there are 13 other states that are proposing similar laws and Obama might have to prove that he's here legally.
Even the Latino community that is here legally is against amnesty because they did it legally at great cost in time and money and see this as a slap in their faces.
The horde of census takers are instructed to especially count illegals so that more taxpayer dollars can go to the areas that have a large population of them.
New York has come up with an interesting solution; illegals are given a one-way plane ticket out of the country, courtesy of the city of New York.
Arizona could do this in another way by giving the illegals a one-way bus ticket to sanctuary cities like San Francisco and Austin. This would rid Arizona of their problem and move the problem to the bleeding heart liberal cities that "want" them.
All of this could be avoided if this administration would just ENFORCE the laws that already exist.
Personally, I'd round up every illegal that I could find and put them in self contained labor camps to manufacture items for Americans until they work off the cost of deporting them (both the transportation and administrative costs).
Mexicans aren't the only illegals in this country. We are overrun by Russians, Hatians, muslims, and Africans (from every country in Africa).
Obama REFUSES to enforce our already existent immigration laws.
He has already called on "people of color" to protest any states new immigration laws.

Good thinking...

2010-04-06T07:02:00.000-07:00

What in the hell is the matter with Obama ???

Today, he'll sign a arms reduction treaty with Russia that restricts the amount and types of missiles that the U.S. can use. The problems with this is;
(1) Russia has a provision where it can "back out" but the U.S. can't
(2) It limits our capabilities to defend our country
(3) It tells the world what our capabilities are

To make matters even worse, Obama just announced that the U.S. WILL NOT use nuclear weapons against any country that attacks us.
Why then, even have a defense system ???
This is like putting up a sign on your front lawn saying, "If you rob me, I won't press charges".

Not only is Obama destroying our economy, now he's deteriorating our safety. Is he really as "smart" as some of you have given him credit for, or a complete FOOL ???
The longer we leave him in office, the weaker we get in every aspect of this country.
He must be REMOVED from office ASAP, along with the idiotic and corrupt Congress.
You must do something real soon or kiss your freedoms, savings, safety and future GOODBYE...

The signing...

2010-03-29T17:43:00.000-07:00

Whenever we have to sign a paper, whether it be a contract, a receipt, or whatever, we'll first READ what we're signing. Most of the time, we end up signing something that we totally understand. However, if you were handed a 2000+ page document and asked to sign it, you'd probably either read it and ask a lot of questions or give it to an attorney to read for you.
I ask then; why did Obama sign this Health Care Bill without reading it and knowing everything that's in it ? His signature made it the "Law of the Land".
When the head of Health, Education & Welfare was asked about certain items in this bill, she said that she hadn't read it yet but that anything that might have been left out could be added by a Presidential Executive Order. Doesn't that sound like a Monarchy to you ?
Why hasn't an issue this large been presented to the people to vote on ? I'm pleased that it is just a law and can be repealed. It could have NEVER made it as an amendment to the Constitution because it's unConstitutional. The bill forces people to purchase a product or service that they may not want or might not be able to afford.
The Health Care Bill contains items that have absolutely nothing to do with health.
Provisions are made for specific wage earners, specific communities and states and specific industries.
Why is everyone in Congress exempt from this "law" ? If it's good enough for us, why isn't it good enough for them ? Why have over 75% of the people (according to over 30 credible polls) been against it ? Why does Obama have to go "on tour" to try and convince us that it's a good thing ? He doesn't even know what's in it...
The worst part of this is, how are we going to afford it ? They think that by adding taxes and depleting existing programs like Social Security and Medicare that will solve the problem.
By now, you must be clear that this administration has their heads up their asses.
I urge every one of you to go to the voting booth in November and vote out everyone in office. I don't care if they're replaced with monkeys. Monkeys can't hurt us as badly as the existing government has and will continue to.
Believe me, "you ain't seen nuthin yet". Just look at the most recent deal from the White House; to be politically correct, Obama has agreed with Russia (as though we can trust them) to give up part of our nuclear arsenal. Super Stupid.
What will he do next to either put us in jeopardy or the poor house ? If you leave these people in office, you will end up broke and easy prey for any country that wants to attack us.
Do your part, today and every day until those conniving, unscrupulous, arrogant bastards are retired.........................

Your Rights

2010-03-24T07:28:00.000-07:00

Now that it's been declared that everyone has a right to health care and the government has made it mandatory for everyone to carry health insurance (and they will pay for it if you can't), then why don't they do the same thing with other things that everyone has a right to ?
As an example; we all have the right to carry a gun. Therefore, shouldn't the government make it mandatory that everyone carry a gun ? If you can't afford a gun, then the government should supply it.
Do you now see how absurd this new Health Care Bill is ???

2010-03-23T20:17:00.000-07:00

Congress has sent the message..."We know what's good for you...You don't".
Congress has spoken...the people have been ignored.
By now you all know how your representatives betrayed you. At least the Republicans held their position and not a one voted for an impossible bill.
Between the lies, the intimidation, the corruption and the back room deals, Obama, Pelosi and Reid set the tone with the passing (and signing) of this so called "Healthcare Reform Bill".
This now opens the doors for even more government interference in your life. They already have crippled private enterprise with all the rules and regulations they attach every year, they've cut the throats on the energy and natural resource sector, they still aren't done killing the bank and loan business, they killed our auto industry and will soon allow citizenship to anyone that wants it.
When I think about it, it really isn't completely the fault of a President that is clueless, or the evil of the leaders of Congress...the fault is also YOURS. You elected these people, you permitted them to continue with their corrupt ways and all you did was bitch about it. You now have before you the only two logical choices to get us back to honoring our Constitution. Those ways are either to remove ALL of Congress, the President and his inept Vice President, the judges on the Supreme Court as well as the heads of every cabinet and governmental department either by voting them out or an outright REVOLUTION.
To let these people continue with all of the things on their agenda (amnesty, takeover of the financial businesses, doling out of medical care for the aged, etc.), you are obviously discontent with FREEDOM and want to become totally dependent on the government. Every year, you lose more and more rights and freedoms under the guise of "your government protecting you".
If you do nothing, you are saying, "I'm willing to give up Freedom for the government to take care of me". With the passage of this bill, you've opened the door for this administration to run "rampant" over you, your family, your home, your job, your businesses, your food and water, your transportation, and most importantly, your FREEDOMS.

They have been using the "How To Boil A Frog" theory on us for over half a century.
*How to boil a frog, says to put the frog in a pan of cool water. Slowly, ever so slowly, turn up the heat until by the time the frog notices that the water is too hot, he can't jump out and is boiled to death.

How much government control does it take before we are slaves? They already have, year after year, taken more and more freedoms and rights from us......when does it stop ? It stops when you have no further chance of doing anything about it.
I beg you you to get rid of the evil that is about to befall us before it happens. We must get rid of these so called representatives that only represent themselves and laugh at the rest of us. Ever wonder how a member of Congress retires as a millionaire on their salary ? Ever wonder why companies hire them for millions of dollars a year as lobbyists and consultants ?
As in all Republics, once they start acting as a democracy, corruption and evil overtakes that government until it finally falls. Are you ready for the United States to fall into just a memory in future history books ? Well, that's where we're headed.
Do everything that you can...and then more, to stop this from happening. If you do nothing, you deserve the conditions that will fall on you.

Health Care Reform ???

2010-03-10T17:23:00.000-08:00

Obama is out running around the country "trying" to convince people that his "Health Care Reform" plan is necessary. His approach is to "bad mouth" and condemn anyone, organization or industry that disagrees with him or exposes his omissions and lies.
He tells us that it will cut costs. He doesn't say how, except by taking money from Medicare to help pay for it and increasing taxes. Bottom line is what difference does it make if you pay for it out of your left pocket or your right one ?
I went to a large hospital to find out why medical costs are rising.
The answers were as follows:
(1) Medicare has cut back on how much they will now pay for procedures and exams.
(2) 22%-24% of the hospital costs go to service non-paying illegal aliens. This difference has to be made up somewhere in order for the hospital to stay open.
(3) As medical technology increases, so do the costs of this technology. X-ray equipment, MRI machines, new surgical tools, etc. all cost a lot of money and the hospital has to take in enough to pay for their equipment and skilled staff.
(4) The premiums on mal-practice insurance is EXTREMELY high.
Is it any wonder that fewer Americans are going to medical school these days ? Chances are that the doctor(s) that see you are from some other country. Why would anyone spend all of those years studying medicine and at great monetary expense, to end up working for a hospital or HMO where their income was restricted and their insurance and equipment costs were astronomical ?
When I was young, becoming an M.D. was not only prestigious, but was monetarily, very rewarding. That is no longer true.
The last thing we need is even more government interference in one of the best (and yes, overpriced) medical systems in the world.
Q. Why do drugs cost us more in the United States than anywhere else in the world and Congress has made it illegal for us to buy them from another country ?
A. Your Representative has gotten huge campaign contributions from the drug companies to vote for keeping prices high in the United States.
Q. Why is mal-practice insurance so costly ?
A. Because incompetent doctors are permitted to keep practicing. Another lobby of the medical industry to keep Congress from doing anything about it with more large campaign contributions.
Q. Why is Obama "hell bent"on shoving his "plan" down our throats ?
A. Because he doesn't care that most of America is against it and his ego is on the line.
Not only doesn't he see the "big picture", but he has no concept on how to govern.
After all, he was a "community organizer" for a failed organization.
You know when he's lieing to you...his lips are moving. Thank goodness that as corrupt as they may be, the Republicans are at least listening to America.

The American Dream...

2010-03-08T18:17:00.000-08:00

Let's suppose that you're an illegal alien that has been living in the United States for the past 5 years. You're working in construction and get paid $50,000 a year (under the table); your wife and kids get welfare and food stamps and all of their medical is taken care of at local clinics and hospitals.
During those 5 years, you bought 2 houses for "nothing down" and rented them out for $250/ month more than the mortgage, insurance and taxes. This gives you an extra $6000 a year in tax free income (because you don't file an income tax return).
For the past year, you've stopped paying the mortgage and your houses are going into foreclosure.
Now, under the new Obama plan that takes effect next month, you elect to "short sell" the 2 houses, getting completely out of the mortgage, insurance and taxes and are being given $3000 ($1500 per house) of taxpayer money as an incentive.
So, you've been making $50,000/ year; have saved about another $25,000 by not paying your mortgage, taxes or insurance for the past year and are getting out of debt with a $3000 reward.
This now frees you up to but another 2 houses for nothing down, at reduced prices and with a much lower interest rate. In addition, the government will give you $6,500 for each house you buy as an incentive to buy these houses. You now rent them out and start the "cycle" all over again.
All of this money and opportunity without a cent out of your pocket.
***By the way...this incentive will now bring down the value of all the other homes in the same neighborhood.

On the other hand, you're a citizen and taxpayer that has put 20% down on your home 5 years ago and have been making your mortgage, insurance and tax payments on time every month for those past 5 years. Because of the real estate bubble falling apart, your home has gone down in value to below what you owe on it. If you take advantage of Obama's new incentive plan; you lose your down payment (20%) and any equity that you thought you might have, as well as ruining your credit score. You have no money (except for the $1500 that the government will give you) so you can't even buy another house.
Aren't you glad that you "played by the rules" and got screwed ? Aren't you glad that you paid your taxes so that the illegal alien could have a better life than you ? Aren't you glad that Obama, secretly snuck this new plan in without the knowledge of the American public ?
Besides feeling stupid, been "had" and angry...what are you going to do about it ???
Ans: NOTHING. And that's because you're either too lazy, too scared or just plain stupid.
What you can do is everything in your power to get rid of Obama, his cronies and all of Congress. Between those people, they've not only violated our Constitution, but have completely shit on the American Dream.
Not only are you getting screwed but the illegal alien won't even "thank you" for it.
In any other country, there would be mass riots and the existing government toppled if this happened.

Outrageous

2010-03-08T07:55:00.000-08:00

Obama has now found a new way to reward the banks for making bad loans and to reward those that took the bad loans in real estate.
Next month, starting April 4th, Obama is encouraging anyone that is behind in their mortgage payments to "short sell" their home.
A "Short Sale" is when you sell your home for less than you owe on it.
The incentives are;
(1) The seller (homeowner) gets $1500 of your tax money to walk away, free of any debt.
(2) The bank (or mortgage holder) gets $1000 of your tax money as an incentive and gets to "write off" the balance.
(3) 2nd mortgage holders get $3000 of your tax money and the "write off".
He (Obama) is setting aside $75 billion for this program.
One of the repercussions of this is that all homes will now go down in value (including yours).
The banks lose nothing, the mortgage holders lose nothing, the delinquent home owner walks away debt free...and the taxpayer picks up the tab for all of this.
There is NO INCENTIVE for those that have paid their mortgages on time and are current or for those that have worked hard to pay of their homes.
Not only does this totally destroy the real estate market but makes all of us that have "played by the rules" feel betrayed by that incompetent egomaniac. He is rewarding his banking buddies and shifting the wealth of this country to the non producers.
The "American Dream" of home ownership has just been flushed down the toilet.
The only alternative that I see for all of us, is to stop making our mortgage payments, sell our homes for less than we owe...and then buy them back at a reduced price with a smaller mortgage at a lower rate. Of course, if we all did that, it could break the back of the financial community (and we don't want to hurt them...LOL).
I am totally outraged at what Obama is doing to this country and those of us that have worked so hard to preserve our future.
Could this be the first step in the government takeover of the real estate market ???
WE MUST GET RID OF HIM AND THE CONGRESS THAT PERMITS THIS........

An SS solution

2010-02-21T13:04:00.000-08:00

For years, I've been hearing that the Social Security System is running out of money and that by (various dates) sometime soon, it will be broke.
First of all understand that originally, Social Security was a separate fund, until 1965 when it was so large that greedy politicians moved all of the money into the General Fund, and that's when all the pork barrel spending started (thank you LBJ).
In order for those collecting Social Security benefits to continue to for the rest of their lives, and future generations receive payments, I propose the following:
(ages and percentages may be modified after the next census)
(1) As of Dec. 31, 2010, all persons over 40 that have contributed to Social Security Taxes, be "grandfathered" and allowed to receive benefits that are in effect today (including the COLA).
(2) A separate fund be set up called the "Retirement Benefits Program" (BRP) for everyone else. This fund will receive 3% (mandatory by law) of all earned wages (no limit) and be credited with interest not to go below 3% per year. The money in this fund will be used to buy United States Treasury Bonds.
Those that are self employed may participate with their 3% yearly contribution.
Upon retirement or reaching age 55, everyone that has contributed to the BRP will have to designate which annuity the plan will purchase for them (giving the individual complete credit for all contributions and interest earned) that will give them an annual income for life. In most cases, the lifetime income will be far in excess of what they would have gotten from Social Security (even if it was solvent).
Within one generation, the future retirees will be guaranteed a retirement income as well as it being of no expense (other than interest on the Treasuries) to the government, as well as practically all Social Security recipients will have passed on, making the payout for Social Security benefits dwindle away.
Of course, those that earn more and contribute more will be entitled to more. Those that don't contribute anything will be entitled to nothing.
At no time can this fund go broke or be "under-funded" because its investment is in the ability of the United States to buy back its Treasuries.
This plan covers all those that are contributors, leaving out those that failed to contribute. A plan of this type can go on indefinitely with no hardship on the taxpayer.
Since this is just a general overview, please write to me for either more explicit details or suggestion for improvement. Social Security must no longer be a Ponzi scheme and must become a thing of the past. When the last person that is "grandfathered" in the Social Security System passes on, the "books will be closed" on Social Security benefits forever.

States Rights and your vote.

2010-02-21T09:22:00.000-08:00

With the "primary season" upon us, I've become aware that many Republicans and Independents are registering as Democrats in order to either vote against the Democratic incumbent or to vote FOR the weakest Democratic candidate.
They figure that this is one way to help clear Congress of at least the career politicians in the Democratic Party.
I haven't heard yet how they plan on cleaning out the Republicans.
The reason for this purging of career politicians is to get people into those seats that will honor and respect the 10th Amendment of our Constitution.
In case you're not aware of what it says, I quote:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".
Do you "get it" ???
As an example: Washington has no right passing laws about medical insurance, abortion, gun control, and all the other things that are not delegated to the government. It's up to the individual states to determine how they wish to deal with the myriad of problems that Washington has stepped in to interfere with.
Washington certainly has the right to deal with immigration and has done nothing to stop the flow of illegal aliens. Most border states have the solution but are hampered in their efforts by Washington.
So in the upcoming elections............vote out anyone, regardless of party affiliation that has served one or more terms in our Congress and help America out from under the hand of tyranny.

Your Social Security...A Primer

2010-02-18T05:41:00.000-08:00

On Aug. 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed in the Social Security Act as part of his "New Deal". All of Congress and the President were exempt from this tax. The first payroll deductions started in 1937.
THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO JOIN THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM.
Your Social Security Number is NOT to be used for identification.
However, your employer is obligated by law to deduct it from your pay anyway...
At that time, payroll taxes were to NEVER exceed 1% on the first $3000 of income.
The first person to collect Social Security was Ida May Fuller of Ludlow, VT. on 1/31/1940. From 1937 to 1939, she paid in a total of $24.75 and received over her lifetime a total of $22,888.92. A great "investment".
Since its inception, Congress has made several changes that have been tested in the Supreme Court (but to no avail).
1949 - Rate increased to 3%
1956 - Rate increased to 4% and Disability Benefits added
1961 - Men could retire at 62 with a 6% reduction in benefits
1962 - Women could retire at 62 with a 25% reduction in benefits, but no penalty for widows
1965 - Lyndon Johnson added Medicare to the "fund", added the money from Social Security to the General Fund and allowed widows to collect at 60
1972 - An increase in benefits of 20% was introduced
1974 - Under the "Privacy Act", your SS number was to be used as Taxpayer ID and the tax rate was again increased to 7.65%
1975 - A Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was added
1977 - Under Jimmy Carter, the tax rate was increased to 6.15%
1983 - Congress and the President became covered for SS benefits
2008 - the amount of income to be taxed rose to $102,000
Now that the government has broken its original deal with us and keeps modifying it, Congress wants to include illegal aliens in the system. Obama has stopped the COLA for at least the next three years. The retirement age keeps increasing.
Looking ahead, eventually, everyone will be eligible to collect SS but not until age 100 and receive less than $1. Obviously, this game is about to end.

Lessons learned and not learned...

2010-02-17T22:19:00.000-08:00

Lessons learned...
A lesson that our Congress has taught to business is "to spend it all".
In the business sector, it is common practice to spend every cent of a departments budget each year or they might not get that much next year.
Regardless of what party one is in (Democrat or Republican), that is how Congress works.
As an example; The leading pork spender in the House (Barney Frank, Democrat of Mass.) and the leading pork spender in the Senate (Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Republican of Tex.) both have been heard to say, "If I don't spend it, someone else will...so I might as well get all I can..."

Lessons NOT learned...
A lesson that our present administration has not learned is that the best way to improve the economy is by lowering taxes, NOT RAISING THEM.
Since this administration has borrowed us into astronomical debt to fund ridiculous programs and increase the size of government, this country is broke. To alleviate this problem, this administration is about to raise all of our taxes. They will be sneaky about it and tell us lies. The truth is that by letting the Bush tax cuts expire next year, that will be a tax raise. Obama will use the "wealth envy" ploy to convince us that only the wealthy will be additionally taxed. That will be a lie.
The truth is that by having taxes go up in any segment of the population, will cause more unemployment as well as more inflation.

This administration sees the damage that previous administrations (from the 40's to date) have done to this country and realize that we are at that point where a "final blow" to our economy and freedoms will collapse this nation irreparably.
Since your Representatives no longer read your letters and e-mails, the time has come for everyone to march on Washington and physically remove all members of our present day government and immediately replace them with people that will honor our Constitution to bring us back to being the wealthiest, brightest, healthiest, most productive and powerful nation on earth.

No Need for a Military

2010-02-11T07:01:00.000-08:00

I've always understood that our Constitution allows Congress "to raise and support Armies..." (Art.1, sec.8). I see the wisdom of a nation as great as ours having a well established military. We have an enormous budget, dedicated to maintaining our military.
When we're engaged in a military action (right or wrong), isn't the objective to become the victor of that action ? Why then has our government restricted our ability to prevail in any military action ?
The present rules are:
We can only shoot back when shot at, if no civilians are present.
We must be attacked first.
We must give all prisoners their Miranda rights.
We must treat all of the enemy with respect and dignity.
...and the list goes on.
In the Middle East military action taking place today, we have no chance of ever succeeding as long as our troops are restricted from taking the appropriate action(s) required to beat the enemy. I ask, then why do we even need this waste of money and American lives if we have no intention of winning a conflict ?
Obviously, we really don't need a military; and that expense could be used to pay down our debt.
In WWII, our President let the experts (the commanding Generals) fight the war, not armchair warriors in Washington. That is why we were victorious in both Europe and the Orient. There was no political correctness in those days. Even here at home, we incarcerated all Japanese and Germans on our soil. The German population ran into Canada so not much is mentioned about their arrests.
The attached is what every nation except the United States goes by when they're engaged in a military conflict.

Come fly with me....

2010-02-03T05:47:00.000-08:00

As you know, members of Congress fly a lot. They go back and forth from their states to Washington, go on election campaigns, go on "junkets", go to foreign countries and even go on vacations by plane.
In most cases (and especially those for personal use), they fly on commercial airlines at either their own expense or at a reduced rate.
Not so for Nancy Pelosi. I just found out that last month, she crossed the $2 million mark in using Air Force planes to fly not only herself around but to fly her children and grand children on vacations and other events.
The $2 million does not include the food, drinks and booze that was also supplied on these flights.
She travels exclusively on an Air Force 747, so that she has all the amenities provided to first class fliers on commercial flights.
Bear in mind that Pelosi is;
(1) Hell bent on ramming Health Care down our throats
(2) Is using your tax dollars for her personal use.
(3) Is third in line for the Presidency
(4) Has always had a poorly thought out agenda
and as an added note, is downright evil and ugly.
Notice how she never really answers a question with the appropriate answer, but chooses to either lie or "skirt" about the question.
This is just a commentary to let you know who is wasting your tax dollars and on what.

Wrong, wrong, wrong....

2010-02-01T09:39:00.000-08:00

Today, the liar of the century (Obama) told us more of his "bull----".
When he announced the largest budget in history ($3.8 Trillion), that, by the way will all be from borrowed money as the unemployed are no longer contributing to the taxes that Washington takes in, he spewed his misinformation with propaganda and lies again.
He said that the national debt increased over the last 10 years by $101 Billion and that the Clinton administration left us with a surplus.
The truth is that after Clinton had left office, the "books" were then audited and we found that Clinton had "cooked the books" to reflect a surplus rather than the true deficit.
He didn't take into account that:
(1) We were attacked during the last 8 years, but said that we engaged in a war that we can't pay for.
(2)He never mentioned that during his term in Washington, that he voted for EVERY spending bill that the Democrat controlled Congress (for the previous 3 years) passed.
(3) He said that he was going to "create 3 million new jobs. How ??? We've already lost over 7 million jobs. Aren't those jobs still there, just needing to be staffed ?
(4) He announced that he was going to cut the deficit. The first item in this cut was the proposed pay increases for our soldiers, fighting a war that he won't let them win.
...and I could go on; but you get the picture. This man is either being fed a ton of misinformation or he really is stupid.
He refuses to take responsibility for the chaos that he's created over this last year and continues to blame everyone else (the Republicans, Bush, Wall Street, the banks, the insurance companies, etc.)
He totally supports a world government rather that honoring our Constitution.
He supports all muslim complaints.
He refuses to do anything about the illegal alien drain on our economy.
OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD.
How can we "recall" this horrible, gutless, egomaniac that's lacking any skills or aptitude in running even a community project, let alone, our country ???
We must remove him from office before he does any more long term damage. In addition, I beg you to VOTE OUT every incumbent in Congress in the November election.
Please help me save my country.

More confusion...

2010-01-18T05:32:00.000-08:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have always been under the impression that the President of the United States was on my payroll (as a taxpayer). If that is the case, why is Obama spending my money to go to Massachusetts to make a campaign speech for a Senate race (the day before voting) ?
In any other business, that man would be "docked" for his time and expenses as well as reprimanded for doing personal business on company time.
By now, it's obvious, that he would rather travel continuously than do his job. Could this be because he is incapable of being the President and passes the decision making to his cronies ? I guess so; that way, when things go wrong, he can say, "I had nothing to do with that".
I say, let's fire this malingerer and replace him with someone that has a better work ethic as well as understands that it takes more to run America that being a community organizer.
We need to RECALL Obama before it's too late.

MLK B'day

2010-01-18T05:18:00.000-08:00

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King as a national holiday (banks, schools, gov't., etc are all closed). I think that this shows how far we've come from the days of slavery in this country.
Interestingly though, is that of all our national holidays, only two celebrate human beings. Those are the births of Martin Luther King and Jesus Christ. Even the Presidents that we used to have holidays for (Washington and Lincoln) have been lumped together into what we cal "Presidents Day.
So, from this, can one draw the conclusion that we have enough holidays and that as we come up with more, we'll just lump together already existing ones ?
Although they're not national holidays, I think it might be appropriate to put Valentine's Day together with April Fool's Day. and celebrate it on Sadie Hawkin's Day.

2010-01-17T00:29:00.000-08:00

When Obama went to China, one of the things that he was adamant about was their censorship of the internet. Now Google has gotten into the argument.
As a sovereign nation, doesn't China have the right (even if we don't agree with them) to conduct "business" as they see fit, within their borders ?
Of course, nothing is being said about the hundreds of "workers" employed (job creation) by our government to monitor millions of websites, blogs and even chatrooms and even e-mail.
As soon as a video or document appears anywhere that exposes this administration, it is immediately deleted from the internet by these "workers".
Even the free press is no longer free to print the truth. All of the big newspapers, news stations and some books are controlled by this administration and are only allowed to give us propaganda.
Obama tried to convince us that he was in favor of "transparency" in his administration. With all those secret, midnight meetings and unholy deals that are made at these meetings to "buy" votes, we may never know the extent of how much freedom we're losing.
Obama gave himself a B+ when asked to rate himself on a televised interview. Members of the Trilateral Commission, the Bildeburgers, OPEC, ACORN, the U.N. and the Communist Party all agreed with him. He certainly gets a B+ for handing over this country to others that have only one goal....and that is to destroy us any way they can, be it industrially, economically, denying freedoms, controlling our health, polluting our food and water supplies and deteriorating our modes of transportation.
I'm angry and scared....I can't understand why you're not !
Some say that they "smell" revolution in the air. Does it have to come to that ?
I've urged you all to vote out everyone in Washington. Apparently, our votes don't count as the voting booths have become controlled by ACORN (Obama's army). Because of the voter fraud, Obama was elected.
You better become active or prepare to live as a slave or in poverty. This administration has circumvented our Constitution so we no longer have that document for protection.

Haiti

2010-01-14T06:28:00.000-08:00

I think that it's wonderful that the United States is able to respond immediately with aid to the natural disaster that occurred in Haiti. Besides being the policemen of the world, we are the rescuer of the world.

The biggest problems that I have with this are:
(1) Where are the other nations ??? Where is aid from Russia, China, France, Germany, OPEC, etc. ???
(2) All of this aid is being supplied with "borrowed money"; increasing our debt to China.
(2) Obama's statement, "What are we doing and why aren't we doing more?", before he even knew what we were doing.

Now don't get me wrong; I'm totally in agreement that we should help those poor people in Haiti, and as soon as we can, with as much as we can. I'm just so divided over why we (the United States) have to take on every problem that the world has as we go broke feeding people, fighting their wars, giving medical aid on every continent, and giving huge amounts of money to countries that don't even need it. Where is the United Nations ? Why should we be going broke while other nations just sit back laughing at us ?
I, personally have made a cash donation to help in Haiti, but don't expect others to do the same...but that was my individual choice. When does the rest of the world start taking responsibility for their fellow humans ?
