Sheila Jackson Lee calls for “behavior analysis” not profiling ???

I hate liberals/Progressives.... I know I know hate is a strong strong emotion and how can I hate "figurative" people who I may have never met. Well, tough, if you call yourself a Liberal I think you deserve to bare the hate I and many more have for you. They are royally screwing up this country.

What the hell is “behavior analysis” if it's not profiling? Sheila Jackson Lee Representative from Texas who is also the chair of the Subcommittee on Transportation Security and Infrastructure Protection has called for behavior analysis in trying to seek out and find possible terrorists.

These gosh darn liberal moonbats need to get their dam heads out of their collectives asses!!!

The real question here is do we want more profiling? The answer is YES!!! These Liberal idiots need to finally come to terms with the fact that profiling is not about racism or prejudice. It's about finding people who are actually likely to commit crimes and acts of violence. If those people happen to have colored skin, so be it. No one is saying there are committing the acts because they have colored skin. There is a difference, a very important difference.

It's crap that some politicians need to come up with a new Code Word to feel better about it.

Reasons to really dislike Liberals/Progressives (Socialists)

A growing list to be added to and edited over time.

  • They don't understand basic economic principles, they believe it is more important to be fair than to make a profit because profit is evil.
  • They continue to fight against free and open gun ownership and concealed carry in this country.
  • They believe in and fight for social engineering and planning.

Bank of America using customers as Guinea Pigs

Bank of America is sending letters to their customers notifying them of annual rates being added to no-fee accounts in order to test the waters and see how many will complain. This is so ridiculous it's not even funny. It's kinda sad actually.

Health Care Reform We Don't Want!!!

On the Eve of Christmas we might receive a gift we really don't want. What's worse it that we can't re gift it. Most of the world already has one and they want it anymore either. All kidding aside this may be the worst bill yet. When I heard about Cap and Trade I wrote a piece saying that might be the most dangerous piece of legislation in a long time. I didn't bother too much when Health Care became the next hot topic because I didn't think it had much of a real chance. Now the Democrats have wheeled and dealed their way to getting it done in record time. Even though most of the provisions they swore must be included are not. Even though millions will still be uninsured and the costs are sure to increase. The say it will make things less expensive and reduce the deficit. Ask yourself this, what has the government ever done that has ended up costing less?

That question is the only one you should need to ask yourself at this point. If that's not enough I don't know what is. If you have any doubt in your mind that this is a good move in the right direction, you best be on the phone and email with your Senators because tomorrow this will very likely be voted on.

2nd Amendment protection added to Health Care ???

O.K this is bizarre, the Democrats have allowed language in the Health Care bill to protect 2nd amendment rights. It seems to me the Democrats are really going for the hail marry on this one. The language added appears to protect people from being required to report firearm ownership and collections and ammo being stored. The only reason I can think of for this is to ensure that some left winger won't get a sneaky idea here soon to make it mandatory for you to list firearms owned in order to obtain medical services. Or to be required to list permits obtained on medical disclosures. I guess it's a good safety net but if we have some republicans (I'm assuming) having foresight to have this added, then what do they have in store for us in the near future. We better be watching like a hawk.

WoW 5

A story broke on the weekly standard that Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was threatened with an Airforce base closure if he didn't play ball and vote for Health Care reform. This story has received a huge amount of attention and many left winger news outlets have gone on record calling this story a smear. Michael Goldfarb, who released the story said himself "that it was not a very credible threat". He was simply reporting the story and for his trouble now he is being targeted as a loone despite the fact that 20 Senators have gone on the record now signing a letter asking for a hearing to investigate the matter.

Governor Doyle of Wisconsin has signed a bill into law requiring public Schools to teach Organized Labor (Union Propaganda). This despite the fact that teachers and the board of education are not in favor of such legislation. This will ensure that future students are taught the history of organized labor in a positive light without looking at the negative ramifications that unionization brings or the history of the abusive tactic that labor has used in it's history.
I only wonder if Union campaign contributions could have played any part in his decision?

Then we have an eight year old boy who was asked by his teacher to draw a Christmas scene decided to draw a picture of Jesus on the cross. He and his family had just traveled to see a very historic church with a crucifixion display. Now keep in mind this child is eight years old, he drew the picture with X's on the eyes of the figure on the cross. His teacher immediately had the boy removed from class and had him questioned as to the reason for his drawing. he explained it was Jesus on the cross but the they kept after him, asking him why he drew the picture. The boy then said it was him on the cross. Now because he said this the school ordered the boy get a full psychiatric evaluation in order to return to school. If this isn't religious persecution, I don't know what is.

In another story pertaining to religious liberty, a young child reading the bible during quiet time in her New Jersey School was told that the Bible is not acceptable reading material. The teacher noticed what she was reading and told her she most put the bible away. Reading books is one the accepted activities during quiet time, but I guess only books approved by the teacher are allowed to be read. The School later releases a statement claiming that this teacher had made an error and the the Bible is acceptable reading material but by then the damage is done. Yet one more example of liberalism/progressives at work in our public schools.

IL Gubernatorial candidates on guns

QUESTION: "Would you sign or veto legislation banning the sale and possession of semiautomatic assault-style weapons in Illinois?"

Ill. gubernatorial candidates on guns - Wandtv.com, NewsCenter17, StormCenter17, Central Illinois News-


The Second amendment is one of our lifelines as citizens. It's not simply about hunting or home defense. It's about protecting our ourselves and our nation from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,” It’s about being able to protect our selves from not only the robber in the night but a corrupt and unjust government. So does the Government get to have assault weapons? If the answer is yes, do so shall we as citizens (Not Subjects) be able to have assault weapons.

Suze Orman "Financial Expert" in my amateur opinion!

I was listening to this “Financial Expert” Suze Orman on CNN the other day and some of what she said made me question her so I did some research to see what made Suze Orman an Expert. I wanted to see what she was all about. Her Wikipedia Page was very helpful but she also has a personal website with BIO info. It seems to me she has made a career for herself telling people what to do without actually having much financial experience doing it. It would also appear she has a strong Liberal Tendency which she is not afraid to share with her fan base. If a "Financial Expert" giving political opinion alone isn't enough to give you pause here is her resume in a nutshell.

• She is from South Chicago
• BA from University of Illinois in "Social Work" in 1976
• Waitress for 7 years in California
• Borrowed 50K from a stranger than lost it investing with Merrill Lynch, then Sued
Merrill Lynch to regain her funds with a claim she was scammed.
• This while training with Merrill Lynch to be an account executive.
• Worked with Merrill Lynch and Prudential for a combined 4 years before she went
on her own
• Started her own Financial advice Firm during the investment rich 1980’s
• Began writing books emphasizing Financial Help "for women”
• By 1997 moved solely into authoring Self Help and Motivational Speaking.
• In 1998 Forbes reported Suze Ormans credentials were not creditable. Ormans
Representatives claim her book publishers used inaccurate information without her
knowledge.
• She Moved to TV with PBS (Tax Payer Funded Television), CNBC and
QVC (Home Shopping Network)
• PBS has done specials on 6 of her 7 books
• Has been a host on Oprah several Times
• Announced she was a Lesbian in 2007
• Honored by Time Magazine 2008 & 2009
• Promptly honored By GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance against Defamation)



In 2004 Suze claimed to have created the terminology "good debt/bad debt" but as Inverstors Business Daily reporter Chuck Jaffee points out many articles in the 1990's used similar terminology including a few he wrote.

She has built a career for herself as a financial expert with 4 years of actual experience working in the financial industry over 2 decades ago. Since being a financial expert she has openly and publicly supported the campaign of Hillary Clinton and donated tens of thousands to the DNC. She then shifted her allegiance to Obama and stated in 2008 she believes the U.S Democratic Party does a better job of managing the economy and proposing civil rights issues. She also said she likes a lot of what she is seeing with Barrack Obama. She has since received an Honorary Degree from University of Illinois from all of her experience as a “financial expert” which I guess also qualifies her as an expert in education since She was asked to testify in the Senate Committee on Higher Education.

It seems to me she has more connections than anything else.

You decide.

Mike

Professor Cass R. Sunstein

Cass Sunstein may very well be one of the most dangerous people currently in the Obama administration since Van Jones was let go. It you don't know about this guy you really need to find out more. Not Technically a Czar because he did need Senate Conformation is currently in charge of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein is another member of Academia who holds beliefs that differ from much of the nation.

He would like to ban all hunting. He thinks Americans have too many choices when it comes to talk radio personalities and limiting them would be in the best interests of the nation. He also thinks that scientific testing on animals is akin to mass murder of humans and animals should be allowed to have human lawyers to represent them in court and to bring to suits against people.

Aside from his radical beliefs this guy is about as progressive as they come. He wrote an op-ed in Chicago Tribune titled, "Why We Should Celebrate Paying Taxes". Where he basically says without taxes we wouldn't have anything. He's also written and spoke out in support of all Gun Control. Just one more fine example of what the Obama Administration has to offer.

WoW 4

Well now we have a convicted felon married to a U.S. Congresswomen attending State Dinners. I guess it makes sense since while he was in prison he wrote the manual for President Obama's success. Again, if not for Glenn Beck this issue probably would have never made it into the thoughts of millions of Americans. "Stand up Straight" by Robert Cramer reads like a handbook on how a progressive president can change America by 2009. It's interesting how all of the ideas in the book have been implemented by President Obama or the progressive left movement before he was elected. Just another piece of the puzzle to prove their is a hidden movement in this country.

Also this week we have Al Gore at it again claiming, "The anti-Climate Change Movement is at it's sunset". I think Al's been drinking too much kool-aid if he actually believes his opponents are about finished. In Copenhagen there will be yet another large showing of scientists who do agree with the man made climate change theory. And we find out that a piece of ice as large as the state of California was lost do to "Sensor Drift" . I guess the polar Bears aren't almost homeless after all. Of course Presbo also got in on the action during his Coppenhagen speech saying, "we all need to come together on climate change". You think that might have something to do with how much the U.S. and the rest of the developed world has riding on Green investments? If you know Al Gore you should ask him how much he has invested.

In China the communist regime has decided to crack down on the spread of Christianity when they kicked down the doors of China's first 50,000 member strong Mega Church. The Leaders are now in jail and the church has been taken over by government authority and is currently under guard. This is the very same country that owns a significant portion of our U.S. Debt. Just think whether you support this kind of regime or not you're helping to fun it each and every time you buy something with one of those little Made in China stickers.

I hope everyone had a great week.

Black Rednecks and White Liberals By Thomas Sowell

This is the first book I've read by this man and I'm hooked. I've read articles of his and seen him on TV but that really doesn't do him justice. His writing is exceptional and the content is eye opening. He touches on topics that challenge the mind and forces you reconsider facts you thought were true. I haven't felt as cheated by history since I finished "Lies my teacher told me". In Black Rednecks and White Liberals he explains the reasons behind racial and regional separation that have caused the nation to be divided. If you think you know about racism in American you need to read this book and then decide if you really knew as much as you did before.

Americans are not white, colored or hyphenated

This whole hyphenated Americanism crap is really getting out of hand. The idea that we are running around using hyphenated titles to describe ourselves is wrong and really quite asinine. Also it is important to note that this is not a new concept or idea. Martin Luther King Jr. was against the idea as was Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The concept started in the late 1800's and by 1904 was actually a derogatory term. Woodrow Wilson said, "Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready." Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions." Wilson said, "There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else." Now I'll say that Wilson might have taken it a bit to far as to say the "only good American" but again my point is to show that this was considered derogatory.

Not today, not anymore, now many people are running around under the guise of Political Correctness thanks to the likes of Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jackson said, "We even have blacks voting against the health care bill from Alabama. You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man." Interesting how when Jesse wants to play PC he uses African-American but when he wants to shock and awe, he goes back to being a black man. Jackson's statement was directed at Alabama Representative Artur Davis who was one of the Democrats and the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus that voted against the health care bill. Rev. Jackson's statement implies skin color, rather than principles or the content of one character, predisposes a black person to vote up or down for a particular piece of legislation. The good Reverend might have been close to Martin Luther King back in the 60's but I think it's about time he re-reads some of Kings actual words.

I've touched on this subject before but I think I'm going to take it a step further and make the decision to stop using the hyphenated PC titles that have become so politically correct. In fact I'm renouncing Political Correctness. I'm going to use plain common sense language from now on and that's that.

My Take on Global Warming, Cooling, Climate Change WHATEVER!

I remember 6th grade and Earth Day, the first Earth day that was held in our school. Our Science teacher did a speech that the entire school has to listen to and we had a presentation done by some group I don't remember who, but the entire thing was geared up to teach us, to teach our parents and family to follow the 3 R's or by the time we were their age it would be another Ice age.

I remember that same teacher going on and on about how or environment was changing and it was all our fault. Now back then I let most of it go in one ear and out the other but I also started recycling. It wasn't until I was much older that I began to read about how little overall impact that recycling really had on a global scale. It was only a few years later when all of sudden we were struck with GLOBAL WARMING, and then Al gore wrote his rag.

By then I was already questioning how much Science really understood. After Al Gore wrote his book is when I started researching the topic myself and what I found was shocking. It turns out the science is not clear, at all. Many scientists in fact dispute the validity of Gore's book entirely. When Al Gore said the consensus was in, he must have forgotten the panel of scientists that were split almost 50/50 over whether or not Green House gasses were likely due to human influence or whether they were part of the normal global pattern.

Now I'm not a scientist or even a researcher, but I found enough information online, to feel confident that I have NO IDEA what's going on. The UN global warming conference in Poland faced a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC. 400 scientists spoke out at the very same event in 2007. so it grew by 250 + in one years time. UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist said this, "Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists." Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever is also a skeptic.

Now consider the story of emails that show Scientists actually collaborated to modify and hide data that goes against the idea of Global Warming. How does that make you feel? I know it makes me feel great, because I in fact have assumed for at least a few years now that we've been lied to.

You can find allot of information on this topic including links to other mostly reputable sites .: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Welcome :.

New World Order!!! Check out this video!!!



This is Damon Vickers of Nine Points Capital on CNBC. I thought a New World Order was only something that only crazy folks blogged about from the basement of their moms house, and not something you see on Network News... I'd also like to point out this this Damon Vickers guy runs a hedge fund that has been pretty spot on with it's prediction on currencies, oil and gold. So he's not a nut job without a clue he has a 25 year track record. What even more scary is that the host of the show didn't balk at his prediction.

Glenn Beck had him on the T.V. show to allow his to clarify himself.

Why Sarah Palin can't catch a break

Sarah Palin was treated like a sad little excuse during the 2008 presidential campaign and very few people came to her defense. Now, she is still being ruthlessly attacked by the media and her political opposition. If you look at facts given by her opposition it simply does not make sense. Sarah Palin had more political executive experience than Barack Obama. She's not stupid despite what folks at ABC or MSNBC might say and she has a real track record fighting for what she believes in. That last point is important to note because Barack Obama also had a verifiable track record fighting for what he believes. The difference of course if that Obama campaigned on a moderate platform that was not in line with his track record. His campaign was a smoke screen to steer folks to his side, now it's those folks who are asking themselves why they didn't listen and look more closely at his record. He didn't hide anything, he came right out and told the world where he stands in his speeches, his voting record and his books.

Some of Barracks own words;

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

"To avoid being mistaken for a white sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

"Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself."

Now this post is supposed to be about Sarah so, I'll get back on track.

Sarah Palin stands for something, she stands for everything the liberals detest. She is not trendy, she's not cool for school and she believes in God and Guns. Can you imagine, a white women who hunts is against abortion and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. A successful women who made it into a Governorship on her own. She's more like real Americans who work for a living. The establishment cannot allow her to gain traction or they risk losing the popularity contest as more and more Americans are going to watch the real Sarah Palin and realize that she is not the woman from Saturday Night Live.

What this amounts to is many of Palins opponents using their own opinions to steer the facts instead of allowing the facts to steer their own opinion. This is fine when openly expressing an opinion but when this is done in connection to reporting, well you get what amounts to a Keith Olberman or Rachel Maddow telecast.

Net Nuetrality

What is Net Neutrality? This is an explanation found on Googles Users Guide.

"Network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. The Internet has operated according to this neutrality principle since its earliest days... Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet. In our view, the broadband carriers should not be permitted to use their market power to discriminate against competing applications or content. Just as telephone companies are not permitted to tell consumers who they can call or what they can say, broadband carriers should not be allowed to use their market power to control activity online."

I should also point out that Google is in support of Net Neutrality.


It sounds pretty good right, so why are so many people against it? Well I naturally get curious when I see and hear the presidential administration as well as communist thugs like Van Jones get behind something, so I did a little further research. Net Neutrality is not a new idea, it's been around for over a decade and in fact has been in practice throughout most of the Internet. The main reason it's supported so heavily is because the big technology firms do not want to see ISP's limit service in a tiered system which would allow them to control the flow of the Internet. This all sounds like a great idea, let's keep the Internet free and open, right?

Again, I still need to know why Van Jones is such a strong supporter of it. He's one of these take from the rich and the white and give it to the poor and the brown. He's supposed to be against Big Business but now all of sudden he's on the same side as Microsoft and Google. Your enemies do not become your allies over night, and if they do you need to find out why. Typically it's because they have something to gain, and if your once sworn enemy has something to gain on your side of an argument you need to re-evaluate that argument to make sure you have all the facts.

The truth is Obama and his people are not so concerned about keeping the Internet equal as there are about making it MORE EQUAL for some and LESS EQUAL for others. Do we really want the Government sticking their nose into this? They have already attacked Fox News, now they want to regulate the Internet, I'm sure Fox News Content will be treated fairly, right?

There are many questions in regards to Net Neutrality that need a closer look and the folks in power right now, are not the folks I want looking at it.

What does the 2nd Amendment Mean?

I am surprised that when people argue over whether or not the 2nd Amendment gives people the right to bear arms no one mentions the true meaning behind the words used in the 2nd Amendment. If you actually read the amendment it does not give us the right to bear arms. This is not to say it does not give us the right to bear arms either.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

What it does do is assume that we already have that right. And it forbids the Government from infringing upon it. The founding fathers were more ingenious than I realized. They did not feel it necessary to give us the right to bear arms, they assumed we already had the right as free people. They wrote the 2nd Amendment to ensure no future American government under the Constitution would ever be able to take that right away from us.

This chain of thought is consistent with writing from the founders back in the day. All to often people get wrapped up in whether or not the 2nd amendment grants us a right and whether or not it only applies to a militia, when in fact the constitution grants the government the power to raise an army. Why would they use the word Army and Militia separately if they intended for it to be one in the same?

I think it's clear, U.S. citizens have the right to keep and bear arms and the Constitution protects the right, it does not grant the right.

Health Care Bill passes in the House Without Abortion

"Washington (CNN) -- The House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a sweeping health care bill by a vote of 220-215. ... Earlier, the House passed an amendment to pending health care legislation that prohibits federal funds for abortion services in the public option and in the insurance "exchange" the bill would create "

It seems they were not able to get it done without the stupak clause which added verbiage that would exclude abortion services with tax payer dollars. It seems there were just enough Pro-life Democrats who took the stand on this issue and would not vote for it otherwise. (Maybe they were afraid of being voted out?) This is of course only a slight improvement but it's still nowhere near the Bill that I believe most Americans would prefer to see become law.

It's already been said that the Stupak Clause will be removed so who knows how solid it will be in the long run. Even with an exclusion for abortion the bill still does not address Insurance companies ability to sell insurance across the country nor does it address portability. No tort reform, in fact there is anti-tort reform in the restrictions for states who have caps on damages one can receive in health related lawsuits.


Another annoyance is that many of the congressman still had not received copies of the bill by Friday night, so they were being printed. The printed copies were being taken as quick as they could get them out. The printed copies did not include the revisions, so Congressmen who were taking these copies were not even receiving the bill they would eventually vote on.


This leads to the question I think begs to be asked.


WHY DO OUR CONGRESSMEN NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND READ A DIGITAL FILE???


Being limited to paper copies seems archaic to me. Do we really have people representing us that need to have a paper copy. This may seem like a petty thing to be upset about, considering the larger implications of the Health Care Bill, but think about it, it's just one more piece of evidence that goes to show our leaders shear inability to relate to the American people.

Obama not going to Berlin

I guess it's too much to ask that the leader of the free world to break away from his busy agenda to celebrate the fall of communism in Germany. Could it be that maybe he doesn't feel there is anything to celebrate? Why can he stop on a dime and fly to Copenhagen but he doesn't feel the need to attend a celebration of democracy? A democracy that would not be if not for the efforts of the United States.

Some people have raised questions about Obama's decision not to travel and suggested whether it's a nod to Russia or just another attempt to play down the perception of U.S. dominance as a superpower. If that's the case I agree with Newt Gingrich, it's tragedy! The U.S. is sending a delegation led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. President Obama acknowledged the anniversary last week when he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

This is the same man who traveled to Germany to campaign. He went there to get applause but he won't go to help them celebrate freedom and liberty. It's a shame it's a dam shame. I'll bet any day now he supports Chavez in warning Columbia that a conflict would their own fault.

Why are so many people so confused

I've been spending allot of time on message boards lately and I've found that many people are really confused about quite allot actually. At first I thought it was just people who maybe didn't spend as much time as I watching and reading. But I've come to understand that many people are really simply set in their belief on one topic or another with no backup or support. I come to a head with folks who simply believe a thing and can't even explain why they believe it and question facts of mine without understanding basic principles behind them.

I know this all sounds very vague and I'm only writing that way because I don't want to point any fingers at specific individuals. But all this has got me thinking and the only explanation I can come up with is that there is no much dis-information out there. At first i feared that maybe some of the Liberals were right but then I noticed that most of the folks who were dead wrong, were beating the Liberal Drum. I don't think this is mistake. I really believe that the Left is capitalizing on the fact that so many folks will simply take a side that is put in front of them and run with it.

Scary I know but how else can you explain so many people who actually believe in Saved Jobs? I've been hammered about how Schools and Police have been saved by the stimulus. Try as I might I cannot get them to understand that if stimulus is the ONLY thing saving the job, it's not really saved. Once the Stimulus runs out the job is still GONE. The system needs to be able to support the job long term on it's own for the job to be saved. If I hire someone knowing that I can't afford to pay them past a certain point, that is a temp job, not a career position. Throwing money at an industry or sector to avoid someone from being fired is not a saved job.

Argue all you want about whether or not people are still employed and whether or not you can even calculate it, it's not a saved job unless YOU KNOW there is no end in sight for that job. If you need to count on a recovery or an increase in revenue or an expansion in some government program in order for the job to remain than it's NOT A SAVED JOB! Sure some folks are still working thanks to stimulus spending, that is not an indication that anything is improved.

If I'm broke, unemployed and close to losing my house with a Housekeeper and a Gardner on my payroll. Then someone hands me $100,000.00. I choose to keep my Housekeeper and Gardner instead of paying for my mortgage and bills. Are those jobs really saved? I'm going to lose the house, they are going to lose their jobs it's just a matter of time, unless I find a new job or win the lottery. So their job security is connected my job security. Without that situation changing the overall collapse is still in sight.

The same holds true for Teachers, Police, City Workers or Corporate Executives. If you don't change the system to make it more profitable or less costly then nothing is really changed by simply adding more money. You only change the time frame in which it all comes to a crashing end.

Cheers,

Mike

PBS Sesame Street in the fight against Fox News

Fox News now that's trashy news show!

WHAT!

PBS aired an episode of the long time children's favorite Sesame Street claiming Fox News is a trashy news show. Watch it for yourself.



Is that really where we are now? PBS "Public Broadcasting Service" is a public entity that receives Tax Payer dollars in order to survive. With out that support we wouldn't have Big Bird or Elmo and our children's lives would all the more bland for it. But with that support PBS has no business getting involved in a political position using the children as pawns.

Doug Hoffman Lost

In my opinion it is a shame Doug Hoffman lost in the 23rd district race. It's only one seat in the House so it's not really a big deal in larger scope of things, but it would have been nice to see the Tea Party movement be successful. Instead the Huffington Post and all it's little minions are already poking fun at the "Tea Baggers" for losing. In my opinion Owens won due to a cool calculated plan between his camp and that of Dede Scozzafava. When a person drops out of a race a few days before an election the ballots are already printed and people already know who they are going to vote for. Dede cared more about having another Liberal in House than she did about being the person to represent her constituents. That's why dropping out made the most sense because dropping out and giving her support for the Democrat opponent would split her base between those who wanted a Liberal and those who wanted a Conservative. Then the remaining group would seal the Deal.

The Dumb Asses strike again. The Dumb Ass vote wins another election for A Democrat. 6% voted for Dede anyway even after she dropped out. Those are the Dumb Asses who made up their mind weeks ago to vote for her and then they tuned back in to American Idol and the World Series. mostly those are people who only vote by party but since Dede is a women, "we think" some of those folks might have also voted for her to show sexual solidarity. You know the whole sisterhood of the traveling pants suit thing.

Anyway, in this election I don't put all the blame on the 6% Dumb Ass population in Upstate New york, I also blame their local GOP party folks who put her on the ballot to begin with. They obviously did not pick a person who represented the folks in that area. If Half of Dede's vote went one direction and the other went for Hoffman with a 6% gap of Dumb Asses and 45% for Hoffman I think it's safe to say that if the GOP in upstate New york would have put their full faith and support in Hoffman from day one, he would be the new Congressman in Dist. 23. If they Had picked him Newt Gingrich would have given his support from day one and all the RNC base support would have gone to Hoffman as well that would have but him over the top and the whole situation would be very different.

In summary I don't think it's so much a loss for the folks who put their support in Hoffman as it is victory. We were able to show the RNC that we want more candidates like Doug Hoffman in the future. If they want to continue offering folks like Dede Scozzafave and John McCain then the GOP will keep losing elections.

Jobs Created or Saved, Really?

I have never heard the term jobs created or saved before until the current Presidential Administration of Barack "ManChild" Obama. (I love Rush) What is a saved job? How does one tell if a job is saved? We are told all the time how many jobs are lost and how many jobs are created and that makes sense to some degree if you believe that the data source is legitimate. I however am always a little skeptical when I hear brand new statistics being reported.

Let's look at baseball. When I was a kid I never, never even considered how many pitches a guys threw. I had a vague idea that a pitcher would throw a hundred and some odd pitches if he threw the whole game but no one cared. Then came pitch count and every manager some how now knows that 100 pitches seems to be the cap. We can look back into history and find many examples of pitchers who threw allot more than 100 pitches and lot more often than today's guys. But someone decided to count pitches and now we have a whole new philosophy based on pitch count. At least in baseball you have a count, a clear concise number easily found and confirmed by anyone who cares to look. No disputes, no scandal just another number to go into the history books.

Now politics unlike baseball is much more complicated so many times there is no clear concise number to go to for proof. This makes it all the more difficult when someone comes up with a whole new statistic. Even more maddening is that no one is asking the question. What is a saved job? How is it calculated? How do you know it's SAVED? Is it safe forever, another year, another few weeks? But no, President Obama's administration is telling us the jobs are created or saved and we are to applaud them for it, were it not for their quick action 640,000 more people might be unemployed.

What do the numbers mean? The numbers change from month to month so I'm going to round down to the nearest million. But there are about 12 million people unemployed right now. The unemployment rate is just below 10%. The government reports about 5 to 6 million people are collecting Unemployment payments. This means roughly 7 million are not, but for the sake of argument let's look at just the folks who are collecting benefits. 640K is 10% of 6 Million so for all the hard work and tax dollars spent, Obama has managed to make a 10% dent in overall unemployment or a 1% dent in the unemployment rate. If you look at the whole picture it's more like 4% The Stimulus was $787 Billion so to bring unemployment back to a 4% margin we would need to eliminate another 6%. That would only cost $4.7 Trillion to help ALL the unemployed or a meager $1.5 Trillion is we only care about the folks who are collecting benefits.

Let's come back to reality for a minute and only look at what has actually been done. The 640,000 jobs saved or created is a White House number, they gave it and are happy about it. They want us all to be excited about 640,000 jobs.

Yay Obama your our man if you can't do it no one can, GOOOOOO Obama!!!

Now many crazy right wing extremists don't believe the 640K is real but again for arguments sake I'm going to front them a modest 640,000 jobs. The White House claims only $340 Billion of the 787 has been committed so far and half of that went for small business loans. (My right wing extremist friends and I don't believe that either but oh well) That means by using their numbers $170 Billion created or saved the 640,000 jobs.

Do you see where I'm going with this???

Yes, you and I and all of our fellow U.S. Citizens. Tax payers and welfare leeches alike have allowed the Government to spend $265,625.00 per job saved or created. Yup! Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it? Just think how big of an impact it would have on the country if instead of creating or saving those jobs Obama would have said, "if you lose your job we will pay your living expenses for 2 to 4 years and pay your tuition for a trade school or local college so you can learn new skills for a better job. With an allowance of $30,000 per year for rent/mortgage and food and $12,000 per year for tuition. 640,000 people would only have cost us $168,000 each.

If we did that for ALL of the unemployed people in the U.S. right now, it would cost a smidge over $1 Trillion dollars. I'm not saying I support this idea but just consider for a little more than the Stimulus bill each person who lost their job could have instead of collecting a few hundred dollars a week for a few months could have received an education or training for 4 years.

Mike

Double Speak Free Speech Thought Crime

I agree with a quote I recently read. I am told this quote is by a man named David Baird, "Right Thinking depends on knowing what is true, so Right Actions cannot come from things that are not true". I would like to expand on this and say to ever say, "true or not true is irrelevant" is in itself a doorway to wrong thinking. It is never irrelevant to know what is true or not true.


That may seem like a logical statement but sadly I've been hearing this come up more times than I care to admit.


Some recent examples:


When Bill Clinton did Monica, the administration at the time claimed the allegations to be false. Clinton and all his supporters swore it was false. When it was proved true the defense changed to, well who cares if he had sex with her, No one cares about the sex life of a political leader. If it didn't matter why did they lie?


When George Bush claimed Saddam had WMD's and we found none, everyone screamed He Lied, He Lied. Many asked, "Was it a lie or was it a mistake based on bad intelligence"? It didn't matter the consensus was Bush Lied? Even though much of the data we had went back to the Clinton administration and if it were a lie it was essentially a Clinton lie and not a Bush Lie.


Fox News reports on many stories involving socialists in the current administration. They fire back, "Fox Lies"! But do not address the issues. Van Jones is let go (fired) on a Sunday Night and it hardly makes the news, except on Fox. Ron Bloom Obama's Manufacturing Czar says the Free Market is a joke and we agree with Mao. Anita Dunn is Obama's Communications director and she gave a speech to a High School graduating class were she admits the two philosophers she turns to most are Chairman Mao and Mother Theresa. Hardly a word of this gets out, except on Fox. When people do begin to question, we're told she was joking. Really? Fact or Fiction? Double Speak or Thought Crime?


And those are are just a few examples, those of you who follow the news and world events surly know of more, both from the right and left side of the spectrum.


I make a personal habit to not attack anyone, but when someone throws socialism in my face, YES I WILL ATTACK BACK! SOCIALISM is bad for America, that is my view and I'm sticking to it. I will not associate myself or my views with someone who thinks any part of socialism is good. That is why I say if someone likes socialism so much they can move to a socialist country and leave America free. People from all over the world do not come to America because they can't wait until it turns into a cease pool like the place they fled from.


I'm sick to death of hearing people tell me not to discuss religion and politics, it's not polite. I ask why? It's just not nice, or people turn mean when you disagree with them. We should all get along. Well that might work for you while your hitting that bong and saving the planet one tree at a time, but I ask if your argument holds water why can't it stand up to some real debate? Why does Al Gore get away with selling Global Warming but when someone with a microphone try's to ask some serious questions they get shut off? Why can the schools preach to your children about being green when the science is unclear but a god of any kind is out of the question? Isn't putting your faith in a fat man who fly's around the globe and believes eating meat then farting is going to kill the planet is kinda like believing that Santa Claus is going to bring gifts this year? Why is it OK to force that point of view but we can't debate it, because if you don't believe you're somehow a radical. Are the people who push this stuff not the radicals?


Where did this idea come from that Americans should not talk about politics or religion?


I believe many folks in this country were raised the same way, and I believe it's wrong and part of the reason we have the mess we're in. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, I mean no disrespect by it and I won't think less of anyone who sticks to this policy, but it goes against everything this country stands for. My grandparents came from a place were to speak out sometimes meant a bullet might find it's way into your head. Being NICE and not making waves translates into Liberal Political Correctness which I am adamantly opposed to. Political Correctness will ruin this nation if we allow it to. Our founding fathers did not sit idle while others spoke of tyranny. They believed that to be quiet was to give acceptance, Those who did not speak out against what they believed to be wrong were themselves co-conspirators of the tyranny. Because of presidents like Woodrow Wilson and FDR people taught their kids to be quiet and to be respectful and not talk about or share their own opinion if it's wildly different. (PC for don't make waves by sharing your own opinion) You know what happens when you speak against the Government. The Government tends to come after you.


Well the same things are again happening and I will not sit and wait for America to Change into something I don't believe in. My Grandparents taught me to ask questions and to speak my mind because that's what free people do. They came here to be free so they could speak and live the way they choose. and that is what I will continue to do. I will teach my children to question authority when it doesn't make sense. I will teach them that there are no stupid questions and just because you see something on T.V or in a movie it doesn't mean it's real. Even if the man in the movie is an ex-Vice President. I will also teach them that teachers can be and will be wrong once in awhile because it's human to make mistakes and it's critical to know how to think for yourself. I will continue this way until the black car comes to take me away. And if that black car comes for ME, I certainly won't be the first. I only hope I'm not the last.


I love this country and I think there are many people who only want to see it fall so it can be transformed into something very different than the country we love. A country that many fight and die for so we can continue to be free and speak our mind. This is why we must make some hard decisions now as to who we will choose to lead us into the future. What will that future be like? Who is going to choose which doctor you will see? Who is going to choose the temperature you set your furnace? Who is going to choose if you eat steak or sprouts? Who is going to choose what your children will do for a living? Will it be your choice or will you allow someone to make the decision for you because it's better that way for everyone else?

Scozzafava Drops out of race in upstate New York

Now Doug Hoffman is the man to beat.

I wonder if Newt Gingrich will now support a real conservative that his parties Liberal Lapdog has had the common sense to get out of the race. I do wish her well and thank her for seeing that her party is better off without her. I only wonder is she might consider joining the democrats. I mean if it looks like a fish and smells like a fish, it's probably a fish.

Let's Deface a U.S. Flag for Health Care

Sounds like fun right? I mean really, how better to get your point across that you want health care for all then to deface an American Flag with graffiti, right? Well this is one of the finalists judged by the Democratic National Convention. Check it out.



Kinda makes you feel all warm inside doesn't it? Like you want to eat some spiced apple pie and watch 4th of July Fireworks. Heck, why don't we just add Flag defacing to the list of 4th of July festivities. I'll go for that if you do.

Gingrich Backs the WRONG Choice in upstate NY race

Newt Gingrich has chosen to back a Liberal with an (R) next to her name instead of a real conservative. His excuse seems to be that upstate New Yorkers know best so who is he to question them. He seems to be OK with the local upstate Republican Party who decided to run a Liberal. I like the idea of him running for president in 2012 but I'm not sure he has the right mind set if he's going to be OK with his party making decisions like this. Part of the problem with our country right now is that too many people are allowing a political party to make their decisions for them. I thought Newt Gingrich would know better.

If we as Americans are going to fix this country and return it to it's original glory we need to start making better decisions. We need to make our decisions based on ourselves and our values. If a politician is not showing values that mirror your own, don't vote for them! you don't need to agree on every single issue but you should be able to relate. If we keep allowing others to make these decisions for us we deserve what we get.

Doug Hoffman is not a career politician, he's a businessman and just the kind of person we need more of right now. He is not endorsed by ACORN and Nancy Pelosi is not a fan of his nor is he a fan of hers. He understand taxes and the effects they have and he's a military veteran.

Click Here to learn more about Doug.

His opponents are a Liberal Pelosi Democrat and a Liberal Gay Marriage and Acorn supporting Republican. Dede Scozzafava (R) is endorsed by the NRA and most of her official positions look good on paper (or the web) but how do you expect to get Conservative support when your OK with ACORN?

Everyone needs to look at this race, it doesn't matter if you're not from New York. If he can get elected in New York we can prove to the country that the Tea Parties are not just a fad. You also need to watch this and be prepared for it in case a race like this pops up in your own home district.

WOW 3

People standing in Line waiting for Obama Cash. Another fine example of why President Obama was elected. People actually believed a hoax that money was going to be handed out, just handed out here you go a check for you thanks to Presbo. Is this really where we are now?

TARP Money is lost. Inspector General say tax payers will not be paid back. Well there you have it. Not like anyone who understand how these work really thought we the tax payers were ever going to see any of that money back anyhow. They were never going to write us a check. If they raise taxes or when then raise taxes to help pay for it, it's not like we were going to see a major tax cut when the money was paid back. The whole thing was just another fine example of smoke and mirrors.

H1N1 Vaccine is still not widely available and normal flu vaccine is on back order in many parts of the country. Man I can't wait for National Government Health Care! I only hope it's just as good and timely as the flu vaccines and not worse.

Obama said it so it must be so!!!

President Obama said that Democrats think for themselves and Republicans all take marching orders. If that isn't the kettle calling the pot black I don't know what is. Now I'm not saying that all Dem's are Liberal and all Repub's are conservative but most people would agree that most Dem's are Liberal and Most Repub's are Conservative. Anyone who understands the mind set behind the typical liberal and the typical conservative knows the truth is the other way around. It's hard to get a room full of conservatives to agree because they usually have their own opinion. That said most conservatives would agree we have too much government involvement in our lives. On the the other hand most Liberals will follow their fellow comrades over a cliff to the nearest protest against Bush, hell most will follow you anywhere if you tell them it's good for the Democrats and bad for the Republicans, and most will tell you how much better everything will be once the government is in control of everything.



IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!!!



I think it's funny how many of of us have been saying for a long time now that Obama is playing the game by the Rules for Radicals playbook and only now are some other media outlets starting to get the idea we were right. If the president can go on a full frontal assault onto a news organization, what's next? What happens if one of the so called real news organizations follows one of the crazy stories Fox covers? Are they next?

Wow 2

Boy in the balloon really? Unlike many people I thought the boy in the balloon was a hoax before the boy slipped up and told the reporters it was for a show. Now the family is going to have charges brought against them. I'm not sure how I feel about that but they probably deserve it.

So the government is not going to raise Social Security Benefits since the economy is flat, but have no fear. You will will receive a $250.00 check compliments of Obama's new plan to assist those who rely on those benefits to get by. Is this really assistance or is it vote buying? Why not just raise the dam check? $250 would amount to $20 a month. What's the difference? If you ask me Seniors will hardly notice a Jackson more each month and the Obama administration loses by making zero impact. Instead they tell them sorry, no raise this year, but since we know you're in need well give you $250. BAM! Obama impact!!!

I really want to know why no one other than Fox is pushing Obama hard on all the transparency issues and promises he made. What happened to all the open debate and posting the bills online? Why is it that now they need to do everything NOW, NOW, NOW! And no one is calling them on it, except Fox News. The Senate actually debated on and ultimately decided not to allow the people to see the preliminary Baucus bill. When did it become acceptable for them to decide to not keep the Citizens in the loop? I did say Citizens, not Subjects!!!

And this brings me to the war on Fox News. Is you ask me the Obama administration and the Democrats can war against Fox News all they want. Humans can be expected to do the unexpected at almost every turn. But we are predictable creatures. And nothing can more predictable than humans wanting more of something that they are told they can't have. So KEEP IT UP! the more you tell the world Fox is BAD the more people who don't usually watch Fox will turn it on to see what all the hype is about. They might even ask themselves, why didn't I hear that on MSNBC?

The N.F.L doesn't want Rush I don't want the N.F.L

I am really sick to death of how this whole Rush Limbaugh thing has played out. Aside from the fact most of the"Limbaugh Comments" people were mad about were not even real is the fact that such a fire storm against Limbaugh would never happen to someone like say Rev. Sharpton. How many individuals are there who have made real statements and done things that simply get over looked. All Jessie Jackson had to do when he was caught cheating was to apologize and it was forgotten. Was this whole Limbaugh fiasco not the same dam thing as the Red Scare? "Are you now or have you ever been a racist"?

Would Rush Limbaugh have been bad for the NFL? I don't know, it seems like maybe players behaving badly would be a worse problem that owners who have a radio show during the day. Some people might think players who run over and kill pedestrians while drunk might be bad. Dog Fighting Quarterbacks might put the NFL in a negative light. Wide receivers who shoot themselves in the leg while out attending a night club might make people think twice about allowing their children to get so involved in the NFL. P.O.S Scumbags who like to "make it rain" at the strip club might not create the wholesome environment that some people expect from might be role models.

People who actually listen to Rush and pay attention understand how ridiculous it is to pigeon hole him as a racist. Is he divisive? Maybe a little but only because liberals make it so easy. I'm not suggesting anyone needs to follow my lead on this one but I'm going to think long and hard before I spend anymore money on the NFL. I may not stop watching the Chicago Bears all together but I'm certainly not going to be going to any games or buying any new official NFL gear for a long long time. If the NFL doesn't want conservatives money that's fine, they won't get any more of mine.

And the Nobel Peace Prize goes to Obama

I'm glad Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. After all he has ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He's closed Gitmo. Then he single handily forged peace in the middle east and rid the world of all nuclear weapons.

WHAT!!!

Obviously I'm not the only one who's writing about this so I'm going to keep it brief and to the point. When did they start giving the Nobel Peace Prize away to people who talk about peace? Is it really that meaningless now. I guess Al Gore did get one for making a movie about a theroy so who knows. The Nobel should not be an award for good effort like a smiley face sticker on your 3rd graders math test. Our president has not even completed a whole term yet and he hasn't actually done anything for peace aside from TALK about it.

Gitmo is not closed.
Our soldiers are still dying in action.
Muslims still hate Jews and Jews Still hate Muslims.
Many nations including ourselves still have many nuc's.
Democrats and Republicans are still mortal enemies.

But in Obamas defense I guess it would be hard to actually have done any of those things in the 12 days he was POTUS when the deadline for the Nobel Prize came in February. At least the Presidents speech was humble, he did question himself whether he deserved the award.

I mean really!

Like there's any question to whether he deserved it.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

ACLU at it again! Take the cross down it offends me!

The ACLU wants a Veterans memorial in the Desert that has stood for 70 years to be taken down. The memorial is a simple cross that they say represents the governments endorsement of a religion. It's a simple cross in a rock in the desert! It's there as a memorial to fallen heroes of a past war. Why does The ACLU has continue this fight to secularize every facet of American life? Could it be because America is now one of the largest Muslim nations? Why is it that so many groups have come to protest against moves like this but the ACLU and organizations like it keep winning these ridiculous battles?

I think these are some important questions we need to ask ourselves and our representatives in Washington. Is this how we really want our country to change? Do we want to live in country where the religious beliefs of most of the citizens and our founders fathers is supressed because of those who find it offensize and simply can't understand it?


This has got to come to an end!

Obama is the most intelligent President ever! Really?

Michael Bechloss once told Don Imus that Barrack Obamas IQ was so high it's off the charts. When Don asked him what Obamas IQ was, he admits that he did not know the actual IQ. Many others since then have made similar claims about how clever and wise our great leader is and more importantly how much more intelligent he is than Bush. Well I'm going to pose a few questions for all to consider.

  • If Obama is so smart why did he not know about ACORN getting so much money?
  • How did he not know about Van Jones being so radical?
  • How did he not know about the Tea Parties?
  • He sat in Rev. Wrights Church for 20 years but he didn't know how radical he was.
  • He did not know that the deal he received from a huge contributor Tony Rezko was much better than normal.
  • Also he forgot that he made a promise to use public financing for the general election if his Republican opponent would do the same, oops.
  • He traveled to Copenhagen with 2 Jets to cheer lead Chicago for the 2016 games not knowing that Chicago was the least favorite choice of the IOC .

The smartest person ever to be President of the United States forgets and doesn't notice an awful lot.

SweetScam is a SCAM!!! HFCS is bad for you!

I think the organization sweetscam.com is a scam. I wonder if they are also funded by the beverage industry like many of the studies they use as evidence. The Mayo Clinic who I trust a little more than some group who pops up overnight, says the science is not clear. It warns of the danger of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) and overusing all sweeteners in general. It's true that studies have shown fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion or require insulin to be transported into cells, as do other carbohydrates. Insulin also controls another hormone, leptin, so its release is necessary.

Leptin tells your body to stop eating when it’s full by signaling the brain to stop sending hunger signals. Since fructose doesn’t stimulate glucose levels and insulin release, there’s no increase in leptin levels or natural feeling of being full. This can leave you ripe for unhealthy weight gain. Fructose requires a different metabolic pathway than other carbohydrates because it basically skips glycolysis (normal carbohydrate metabolism). Because of this, fructose is an unregulated source of “acetyl CoA,” or the starting material for fatty acid synthesis. This, coupled with unstimulated leptin levels, is like opening the flood gates of fat deposition.

This means the T.V. Commercial has a flat out lie in it. Your body does process HFCS differently than it processes Sugar.

I for one will continue to look for products that do not contain HFCS.

Racists at the G20 summit in Pittsburg

Did you see all the racists in Pittsburgh protesting the G20? That is all about a black man as President of United States, straight up. Those folks threw rocks and used rolling dumpsters as block aides. Law enforcement had to use tear gas and batons, while in full riot gear. At least 66 arrests were made.

Now as a comparison the 9-12 March on Washington was attended by at least tens or thousands if not a million people. Not single rock was thrown and not one single arrest was made. If I were black I'd rather deal with the 9-12 variety of racists instead of the G20 protest racists.

What is clear, is that whenever people rise up against the government it must be racism. I'm sure Jimmy Carter will make a speech any time now and Bill Clinton will back him on it. We as Americans need to stamp out this form of racism once and for all.

WOW! 1

I don't have enough time to post my thoughts on every single issue that makes me go WOW! so instead I'm going to begin WOW posts, to summarize some of my thoughts over a period of time. This is the beginning of my WOW reviews.

Where do I begin, it seems every time I watch or listen to some news these days I can't help but just think, WOW, what is happening to America? Health care is either in the bag or has no chance or passing? Our Commitment to protect Poland, the Czech Republic and some of the surrounding countries is now a dead deal, or mostly dead. We'll give them some vague assurances that our Ships will stay in the area and we might give them an antique missile system that we know is useless against Russian missiles, but it's gesture. Then there is the unknown threat of Iran. And this is the most we can do for them, because Obama thinks he can get Russia and others to reduce or discontinue their nuclear arsenal. All I have to say about this is good luck. If Obama gets that done, I'll hang a huge Obama HOPE poster in my office.

Then we have the Health Care debate, or the lack there of if the Left gets it's way. Humana actually sent information warning it's customers of Possible Medicare Changes that could come from a Universal Plan. The Senators for reform take immediate action against Humana by have having the Department of Human Services send ORDERS, not a request ORDERS to end all similar programs and to remove any related material from their website. Not just Humana but all participating Medicare companies. Fascism anyone???

Then as if the Gag Order is not bad enough, the Senate Committee working on a Health Care plan actually is having to debate whether or not they should post it for the public to see. YES they are actually trying to get the bill out of committee with out allowing the American People to see it. The Senate Finance Committee debated for two hours today on an amendment which failed to pass that would have required the legislative language of the committees final bill, along with a cost estimate for the bill, to be posted online for 72 hours before the committee voted on it.

Instead, they passed a similar amendment to post online the "conceptual" or "plain" language of the bill along with the cost estimate. So they choose to dumb it down for us cus you no us folks dun know much bout thems fancy words and junk.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sen. Olympia Snowe the Republican most likely to favor the bill, said the amendment represented a "practical, pragmatic good government approach" to legislating.
"We should not be afraid of having a better and complete understanding of what we are all doing," she said. "The fact is, words matter, and so do the numbers."

Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), who introduced the amendment. "The devil is in the details. The way legislative language is written could have a large impact."

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) said the amendment was "fundamentally a delay tactic" for a piece of legislation that must progress quickly at this point, if Congress hopes to get it to President Obama before the year is up.
"Anybody who thinks that is going to be transparent to the American people is really not telling it like it is," added Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.).

Next up is the Story of Stuff. http://www.storyofstuff.com/

This is and has been taught in our schools for at least the last two years. I saw this on the Glenn Beck Show. It's filled with Liberal Anti-Capitalist & Environmental B.S. Not only are many of the facts distorted but some are flat false. And it's done in a happy cheery style that kids will enjoy. It's easier to understand than Al Gore's book An Inconvenient Lie. (Opps Freudian slip) And it's filled with even more crap.

Now the icing on the Cake. Children in public shools (A.K.A Government run schools)being taught to sing in praise of their great leader. Make your own mind up on this one but as you do, also consider how many songs kids sang in praise of President Bush. Then consider what other great regimes in the history of the world had government sponsorship with song in glorious celebration to their great leaders.

ACORN needs to be stopped for Good!

As you may have heard both the Senate and the House have voted to end funding of the organization ACORN. This is a good first step, but only a First Step. You need to be aware that both houses of Congress added this language to completely unrelated bills. This means that the bills that reach the Presidents desk could be stripped of the language and in effect make no change to ACORN's funding what so ever. What needs to happen is an Executive Branch (President Obama) order to use the Federal suspension and Debarment process. This process is coordinated by the Office of Management and Budget at the White House.

This procedure is intended to prevent poor performance, waste, fraud and abuse in federal procurement actions. Debarment or suspension of an organization, business or individual from doing business with the Federal Government is not meant as a punishment but to ensure that federally funded business is conducted legally and with responsible people. This step is the only action that will completely sever the relationship of ACORN with our federal tax dollars.

Congresswomen Michele Bachmann has already written the office to request this procedure. You can sign an online petition here. Without this procedure ACORN is still eligible to receive funds. It is important that you understand the recent congressional votes were only a smoke screen to make it appear that Congress hears our voices and wants to shut ACORN down.

More information on Michele Bachmann

Please sign the petition and put pressure on the White House as well as your representatives to get this process completed as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Mike

"More Change" No Missile Shield More Patriot Act

It seems that the Obama Administration is doing it again. More Change we can believe in. More Hope! Eastern Europe is now open to missile attack from Iran and Possibly China. This is of course another George W. Bush commitment that Obama has now changed. It seems he is more concerned with overturning everything Bush did than he is in actually improving conditions and safety in the world. In addition to this the news comes out on the 70th aniversery of the Russian invasion of Poland.

The administration is saying that this is an effort to calm Putins concerns over the system. That eliminating this system will improve chances of gaining Kremlin support for Nuclear Arms Control and assistance in Afghanistan. Does anyone believe that Russia is going to disarm? I mean really? Russia, rolling into Georgia with tanks and troops over some oil, RUSSIA!!! Are they going to sit back now, calm over the threat that little old Poland or the Czech Republic are over Russia and decide maybe that Obama guy is right. Let's get rid of our Nuc's. REALLY???

This is nothing more than a powerful Liberal President using his pull to push an agenda that most Americans and most Eastern Europeans do not agree with. He is bowing to Russia while allowing the growing threat of Iran to loom in the distance. In addition to this, it was just announced that he supports extending the Patriot Act. Scraping the Patriot Act was a campaign promise that garnered allot of support from his left wing base. Just more evidence that Obama is not the great unifying agent that many believed him to be. He is instead the gifted two faced smooth talking politician that many of us feared him to be.

He will say anything and do whatever he wants.

Change you can believe in?

Cheers,

Mike

U.S. Library of Congress is a Private Club KEEP OUT!!!


U.S. Tax Payers please be advised, your are to keep out of the Library of
Congress. You are not allowed to use the library unless you are on very
important research assignment. Funny though how they advertise to the public to
Explore, Discovery and Be Inspired. I guess they only want you to look at the
pretty building, how inspiring.
Looking at the books however is much more difficult than it should
be. They have made the Library of Congress into a place that turns away
citizens who want to Explore, Discover and Be Inspired by the vast historical
knowledge available in the books within the Library.
Please be warned if you choose to travel to Washington DC and wish to see any books inside the library you must declare your intent to RESEARCH.
Cheers,
Mike

Joe Wilson Admonished, NOT BY ME!!!


Joe Wilson is getting a check from me.
"I would like to send this check to my Congressman but he has not spoken
out like Mr. Joe Wilson. I'll Support Mr. Joe Wilson and any Politician
who risks being Admonished by speaking out."
I don't care which party you belong to or what color skin you have.
If you you lie you're a liar. Mr. Obama said the Health Care plan would not cover illegal aliens. Every indication that the Democrats have made so far indicate they want coverage for illegal aliens. This means he lied. it may not have been in the best taste for Joe Wilson to yell it out when he did but this is politics. When has politics ever been in good taste? Obama Lied, Joe Wilson called it like he saw it.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Political Correctness is ruining this country.
We need more people like Joe Wilson, not less. The Congress is not a club, it's a body made up of people who should represent the masses. Each and every politician in Washington should fear that if they step out of line, someone is going to call them on it. PERIOD.
Cheers,
Mike

The 9.12.2009 March on Washington

The actual number of people that attended the 9-12-2009 March on Washington is irrelevant. If you watch the video and look at the pictures you can tell that a HUGE amount of people came down. My wife and I we shocked at the amount of people who came in for the event. For every person that traveled to Washington DC there was at least a person or two who couldn't make the trip but would have if possible. So, I have this to say to David Axelrod and his buddies who think we are wrong.

We the People have spoken. we expect you to listen!

Van Jones Resigned

Finally we score a victory for freedom! The Communist is gone, I don't care what story they come up with to spin it, he's gone. Of course we have Glenn Beck to thank the most, for applying the kind of pressure no one else would. We now need to apply pressure on a few more of the so-called Czars on the Government payroll. I suggest we move on to Mark Lloyd, John Holdren or Cass Sunstein. These guys are pretty far Left of Center with ideas that most Americans would think radical.

See my post on Mark Lloyd.

Cass Sunstein is a legal scholar whose philosophy is that of Soft Paternalism. He also believes in animal rights. The kind that includes you're dog having a lawyer, not the PETA variety (I'm not sure which is worse). He also thinks that our 1st Amendment rights need to be reformulated. If that isn't enough for you, he also believes we should celebrate Tax Day. He believes "There is no liberty without dependency"

HIS WORDS

"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty."

John Holdren is the Science (Science Fiction) Czar. He actually suggested the use of Sterilization of women after they reach a pre-determined number of children. He also suggested the use of sterilants in the drinking water as means of population control as well as less sci-fi options as open access to birth control and abortions. Let's not forget the practice of seizing Children from teen mothers and placing them with more qualified parents.

Think what you will about these guys, all of them need to go in my opinion.

Here are the other Obama Czars. I'm going to be doing some more reasearch on each of them.


Afghanistan Czar: Richard Holbrooke
AIDS Czar: Jeffrey Crowley
Auto recovery Czar: Ed Montgomery
Border Czar: Alan Bersin
CA Water Czar: David J. Hayes

Information Czar: Vivek Kundra
International Climate Czar: Todd Stern
Intelligence Czar: Dennis Blair
Mideast Peace Czar: George Mitchell
Pay Czar: Kenneth Feinberg
Regulatory Czar: Cass Sunstein
Science Czar: John Holdren
Stimulus Accountability Czar: Earl Devaney
Sudan Czar: J. Scott Gration
TARP Czar: Herb Allison
Terrorism Czar: John Brennan
Technology Czar: Aneesh Chopra
Urban Affairs Czar: Adolfo Carrion Jr.

Fire Van Jones the Green Jobs Advisor (Czar)

This guy is so radical he has no business being anywhere near the White House. How does someone like this get within ear shot of the President of the United States? Who is checking out these people?

I had already made up my mind on this guy when I heard about his anti-American views and the fact he was a self avowed Communist. He is not a stupid man, he knows how to sell his agenda. This is the man who wrote "Hoopties for Hybrids", and "you can't green cities until you green the ghetto, you can't green the ghetto unless you give Pooky a job".

Now we find out he is also a 9/11 Truther NUT JOB who actually thinks the US government was behind the September 11 Attacks. I don't care that he apologized for his comments, he didn't deny them. This mean he's sorry it was found, not that he doesn't actually believe it.

VAN JONES NEEDS TO GO!!!

Who do we really blame for the Economic Mess?

Going back thru a few old issues of Time magazine I found an article on the 25 people to blame (Feb 23, 2009). This story lists 25 people in order that they believe are responsible for the meltdown. I mostly agree with the list but I find a few omissions that can't be overlooked as well as at least one scapegoat.

The list does not even mention Obama friend and one time VP possibility Jim Johnson who led Freddie Mac during the days the books were being cooked. The list includes Frank Raine's the Knuckle Head who was in charge of Fannie Mae. Both received huge bonuses by the way. How do you list the CEO of Fannie but not Freddie?

They also list Bernie Madoff. I guess it's easy to pick on the guy who will be spending the rest of his life in prison. I'm not sure his ponzi scam was large enough to bring down the American economy but what the heck, let's blame Bernie.

Another missing from the list is BARNEY FRANK. My buddy, MR. DAFFY DUCK himself. Mr. There is no problem at Fannie or Freddie. Mr. Frank was sitting as the Ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee in 2003 when Bush wanted more oversight of Fannie and Freddie. Frank spoke out about the lack of need for more oversight at that time. A year later Frank Raine's left in the middle of an accounting scandal, Yeah I guess it makes perfect sense not to include Barney in the list.

And how about Chris Dodd. The Senator and Chairman of the Banking Committee. The Senator who received one of the VIP "Friends of Angelo" loans from Country Wide. The same Dodd who received one of the highest proportions of contributions from Fannie and Freddie at the time. The very same Senator who had many questionable business deals and has a reputation for living off of his constituents money.

I can't say I agree with putting Alan Greenspan on the list. I know he has gotten a lot of bad press in relation to the whole scandal but I personally remember him warning that the Sub-Prime loans, if the market goes bad would effect the overall World Economy like we've never seen before. Just because he lowered rates which made it possible for Wall Street to manipulate the system, doesn't mean he made them do it. He didn't Call Angelo and say, "hey why don't you take that radical new loan idea those Sandlers made up and offer it to folks who won't be able to pay in 3 to 5 years. Then you can make an ass load of money, hahahaha".

I mean really,

Mike

CNSF Questions Anyone?

CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE

What is this?
Who is the enemy?
Who serves?
What is the Military?
What do the Police do?

WHY IS GLENN BECK THE ONLY ONE WHO IS STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS???

These are only a few questions I think we as Americans should be asking. What kind of leader forms a security force that is loyal to the leader, not the nation, but the leader? A few jump out at me. Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Benito Mussolini for Starters. I believe Stalin also had people loyal to him above his nation.

Knuckle heads accused George W. Bush of having private security not accountable to the public but I don't think those claims were ever substantiated. Obama publicly announces that we need a Civilian National Security Force as strong and well funded as the U.S. Army. What does that mean? Who is in charge of such a thing?

I'm not saying that I think this is sign that President Obama is going to be Stalin.

But why is an American Leader doing this? Is our President aware of history? Does he realize that as President of the United States of America. The Leader of the FREE world, some might balk at him doing things that compare to the likes of Hitler and Saddam Hussein. Even worse our political leaders are lashing back at folks who ask the questions.

Just last week the Liberal pundits were talking about how there might a racial element to the fact that a man with an assault rifle and side arm went to go see President Obama in Arizona. I saw many shots of the rifle on T.V. I didn't see a picture of the whole person, until Glenn Beck showed it on his show. The man was black. If there was a racial element than I guess it's yet another case of that black on black racism that I've been talking about.

"Question With Boldness, Hold On To The Truth, Speak Without Fear"

Mike

Health Care Reform I'll get Behind

The Native Americans by treaty have Health Care provided to them by the U.S. Government. This is by far the worst health care anywhere in the country. This health care is required under law. If the U.S. Government wants the American people to believe a government option health care system is a good idea, then why don't they show us how serious they are by first fixing the system provided for the Native Americans. I also think they should first make the Postal Service Profitable.

Then and only then, when 8 out of 10 Native Americans claim they are happy with the health care they receive and our Government Postal System actually pays for itself, I'll get behind a plan that is controlled by the Federal Government. How long do you think this will take? Have Hope! Change can happen:-)

To see how bad health care is for Native Americans see these stories.
