The definition of stupid is to be dull of mind, pretty much incapable of learning. Ignorance is defined as being untaught - unaware, capable but uninformed or misinformed. I must confess, I have been ignorant much of my adult life. When you become aware of irrefutable facts or undeniable lies before you but you choose to disregard or ignore them I think you become less than stupid. You have no excuse. In the presence of serious wrongdoing you have a duty, a responsibility to get involved. You must do what is right. If you saw a woman being mugged (or worse) on the street and did nothing, what sort of person would you be? It bothers me greatly, that we are witnessing daily outrageous behavior behind closed doors - lies, deceit and bribery by our Representatives, Senators and President - with cover-up by the press. That so many meekly follow or rationalize such sickening practices is deeply disturbing. Where is the outrage this demands? I see glimmers of hope but not nearly enough open disgust. Terrorists don’t bother me as much as those corrupt “progressive” politicians that fully intend to destroy the Country that I know and love. We can profile terrorists easily. Progressives that want, and insist upon redesigning our Constitution to suit their wishes are what terrorize me the most. They look just like you and me and say all the right things (how could you possibly be against this and this?). They prey on and cultivate your ignorance, play your emotions and work your guilt feelings of affluence and great national power - no matter that they are used for good. They utilize our schools (K-college) to indoctrinate us. They teach our teachers to teach our children what they want learned. Take that Wisconsin Governor that told all school teachers they must teach our children (in his State) about organized Union Labor’s history (they contributed heavily to his campaign). Now Politicians can dictate what is taught?! These kids know nothing about our Constitution. THAT should be required teaching. This is not new. They taught me - way back when. But it’s now Loud and Clear, like crashing cymbals in 2009! In my youth I liked American History, but I never delved into it like I wish I would have. Had I, it would have changed my life. I would have seen the truth and fought for it. But I accepted blindly what I was fed in school history books like everyone else, oblivious, trusting, as my parents were. Now 40-50 years later I know my grandchildren are being fed even greater lies and distortions than I soaked up! Yes, study of our Bill of Rights, our roots should be mandatory learning to all. We were wrong on Slavery and abuse of Indians (plus some other things) but admission and corrections are also a special part of our history. This Nation evolves like no other, and that should be shouted out, not ignored, diminished or lied about. Those that teach such should be castigated and/or fired. But every parent out there should be scrutinizing their school, every teacher, every textbook, demanding truth and excellence in the classrooms. This is one important malodorous item that we can stop ourselves, immediately. Organize other parents. Get active! Learn together where our children’s education is lacking and get in the faces of teachers and administrators that don’t toe the mark. Take turns sitting in on classes if necessary. We don’t need the President, Congress or Supreme Court to handle this. They are OUR kids and everyone had better damned-well back off. Carry that attitude into the classrooms and PTA or Board meetings and you will see change! And vote - everywhere - President to local school board! Take your Country back!
Progressives believe the Constitution was written by a bunch of rich old white men. To them it doesn’t apply to a changing world and their belief of redistribution of wealth and entitlement - that Gov’t should provide everything to everyone. Your only responsibility for your personal well-being is to be born here, or sneak in - how motivating. Doesn’t the very sound of those words, that attitude, come off as absolutely ridiculous’? You have the right to “pursue happiness” unrestricted by Gov’t - Gov’t doesn’t provide it! At least it’s not supposed to, and the simplest of reasoning screams out that it can’t possibly work. Over time, more and more grab the handouts, and those providing them tire of being used and doing all the work. Those wise old men knew the world may change, but human nature never does. Progressives don’t really believe their garbage either, but it sells well to the have-nots, that serves their purpose. They promise them more freebies for doing nothing but voting them in, which gives them the power to tax more those that do work and excel. Those taxes pay for the freebies and pay the huge contracts that they award to huge corporations that in turn provide them with riches and security for life. Those corporations are the ones contributing heavily to campaign funds. They don’t know who might win out so they contribute to everyone, knowing that democrat or republican, they are all progressives, eager to do business soon. Progressives want super wealth and power. Most are rich already but thirst for even more - and power! With boundless wealth (billionaire George Soros types) all that is left in life’s quest is Power - and even more money - begetting more power. These are the measuring sticks of the so-called elite. It is just a game at their level - like Super Monopoly - to be the envy of their peers. We “the people” are just pawns, being manipulated for their amusement as they try to impress each other.
Grassroots America is that segment Progressive elites love to ridicule in private gatherings but secretly fear - as Obama once revealed. Remember when he was campaigning in Pennsylvania and soliciting the “common folk” then went out to California right after for a big fund-raising dinner with Hollywood elitists (his kind of folks)? There, he put down (in joking style) the good people of the heartland by saying that, “when they’re frightened they cling to their guns and Bibles.” That single incident plainly tells how he truly feels about “those people” (you and me) versus “his people.” All words and rhetoric before or after mean nothing if you are at all free-thinking - seeking truth “you can believe in,” witnessing “change” to be scared of. I say that grassroots America is MY America, OUR America. I want to be near to, alongside those simple proud Americans - especially when times are tough. Those Americans that cling to their guns and Bibles - and cling to their Constitution are the America once revered throughout the world. You know where your gun and Bible is, but when was the last time you read your Constitution, particularly your Bill of Rights currently under attack all over! What do you really know about those wise men who conceived it? It’s okay to be embarrassed through ignorance. Ignorance is curable. To do nothing is stupid. If you take a little time to connect, or re-connect it will change your life and make clear the present danger - better than I can. My space and ability is limited. I implore you to go to the Library (those without computers) read, then inform your kids and neighbors. America needs you and is under attack, just as seriously as 235 years ago. Your “call to arms” is a call to read, be informed and (like Paul Revere) inform others. Think of it proudly as your civic duty. You won’t be sorry.
Do you know why Sarah Palin electrified the people and the political scene so suddenly - why she draws huge crowds wherever she goes or speaks? She was (and is) a breath of fresh air. She speaks freely from the heart, without teleprompters, obviously loves her Country and the Constitution, hates our dependency on Arab oil, big Gov’t, loose borders, and so on. For God’s sake, she is one of us! We are so starved, never presented with a real voice, no voice for us. It has too long been only a choice of, do you want a democrat or republican progressive to represent you? Neither represents YOU, but what do you do with your vote? That is why the Media and other powers that be hate her guts and rush to smear and discredit her. They fear her - she might rally the heartland and bring on more and bigger Tea parties. America has (almost accidentally) had a tantalizing taste of truth and goodness and is hungry (starved) for more. It might not ultimately even be Sarah, but it had better be a clone-like replica of most everything she stands for. This, a progressive John McCain unwittingly gave us. I thank him profusely for catching so many with their pants down. Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, along with FOX News have truly burst onto the scene in 2008 and 2009, to resuscitate America. Obama (with all his lies about change/transparency) and his cronies got IN, made a hard left turn and scared the hell out of us - but woke up a huge, hungry, angry throng who have now seen Sarah (like a dangling carrot) and heard Glenn Beck. There will indeed be change - in 2010 and 2012! I know it! Be sure all your family, friends and neighbors vote! Ask no more, “What can I do about it?” That is no longer accepted ignorance. Doing nothing is stupidity, playing into the hands of the enemy.
Progressives in office enacted a Progressive Income Tax in 1913. That is when they really got their foot in the door. The majority of the population was not rich. They were not poor either, but every American could potentially become rich with sharp mind (enterprise) or hard work (pursuit of happiness). They could certainly become much better off, with effort. But the un-rich outnumbered the rich and each person got but one vote (before ACORN) so it was decreed by vote, everyone shall pay income tax for national defense, etc. (et cetera really grew in time). Those asking more, paid more (the minority). It started (in its infancy) fair and small, of course, so as not to offend the senses and Constitutional law. But boy has it “progressed” since then. Now, half the Nation hardly works, and many choose not to work at all - and raise their kids to do the same! Progressives continue to expand benefits to the have -nots and where term limits apply, like the presidency, pass the baton to the progressive successor.
Remember the cartoonist from Amsterdam that poked fun at Muslims in a drawing 4 years ago? He was openly threatened with death immediately. Not allowed to have guns over there he built an impenetrable “panic room” inside his home, which he and his family just used. A Muslim broke in with an axe and knife to kill them. What did we learn - besides the guns? Muslims can’t take a joke and never forget? Religion of peace - my a-s!
17 sailors were killed when the USS Cole was attacked by terrorists in the Yemeni port of Aden in 2000. Since then over 1000 “Diversity Visas” have been awarded at random to encourage Yemenis to immigrate to America. We give out 50,000 of these lottery picks per year. Over 4,200 were given to other terrorist countries like Iran and Syria!
Former senator Tom Daschle (another tax cheat) declined Obama’s offer as Sec’y of Health & Human Services. Thanks Tom. He was quoted as saying, “Health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.” And Obama wants health care like England’s, where those over age 59 don’t get heart repair or bypass surgeries, or even stints - too expensive! Over 59? Over and out! When the Obama reign ends in 2012 (and it will I pray) we will have had 20 years in a row, fresh in our minds of very active progressives taking us down the road to Socialism, and picking up speed - starting with Bill Clinton and George Bush and finishing with the very worst, most brazen and boldest - Obama. But think of the “near misses” (all progressives) that were almost President. Think of the lousy choices we always have to choose from and shudder. There was John Kerry and of course, progressive Al Gore (by a few votes), ain’t he a dandy? Howard Dean was just one primal scream away from the prime office. Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky, she was so enamored of him (more progressive than Bill?). Even John McCain (respected war hero) agreed with Obama on practically every progressive issue. He would have been little improvement on Obama, and we would have plodded on, getting no wake-up America call. The shock of Obama Marxism and hope of Palin might save us. Vote and Pray.
Pat Gray, affiliated with Glenn Beck’s radio show stated something I agree with 100%. You know how I feel. I’ll let you read someone else’s words: “What will it take for the people who blindly follow Barack Obama to see who he is? I mean, how do you see all these campaign lies, the promises broken right before your eyes. How do you see the lack of accountability? How do you see his background and not, as an American citizen, wake up? I don’t. It’s hard to. The guy was mentored by a communist growing up. That’s not my theory. Those are not my words. That’s from his book. Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed communist was his mentor. It’s fact. He preferred, again, from his own mouth, the company of Marxist professors in college. He was married by, and attended, the church of an anti -American Marxist professor for 20 years. Once he becomes President, he appoints an avowed communist to oversee the Green Jobs program. He appoints a socialist for his Energy Czar. He’s got anti-capitalist, Ron Brown, for manufacturing Czar. Anti-capitalist, Mark Lloyd is the FCC Diversity Czar. His Communications Director, Anita Dunn, was a Mao fan, from her own mouth. There’s no concern about the pattern we see here? None? What? I mean, how do you look at all that and say, no, that doesn’t mean anything. It’s conspiracy theories? I mean, it’s all right here. It’s all fact. Come on! Then the campaign, no lobbyists in the White House lie? That went out the first stinking day of his administration. It was so bad after about a month with the lobby thing that they quietly got rid of the rule they put in place. You don’t hear them talking about no lobbyists anymore. Why? Because lobbyists are everywhere in the administration, in this White House. And they oversee things they lobbied for when they were lobbyists, something else he said would never happen. I mean, the transparency lies, the televised debate lies, the continual lies right to our faces. When do you look at it all and say, wow, this guy’s not who I thought he was. I mean, he should have known in the first place but, okay now you see all the evidence. It’s presented there. It’s absolute fact. I’m not making any of this up. You see it. It’s in the news. All you have to do is put the stories together and you see a serious pattern of real trouble from an American President right in front of you. How do you look at that and dismiss it? It’s really amazing. Even John McCain is apparently starting to get it.”
I spent a lot of time talking about progressives today but I believe there are many that don’t see what they must if America is to survive as we know it. They use cute cuddly Polar Bear cubs, and "the planet is doomed" and play on guilt and emotions. In short, don’t be fooled. Dig out the facts. They will hide them. Their agenda is scary!

Issue 30
1/1/10
Someone once said, “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” Apropos when watching numbers fed to us by politicians in areas of concern by the people. Unemployment numbers are far worse than 10% - look or ask around. Those numbers are taken from those drawing compensation. Worse off are those no longer even being compensated. How many of those unfortunates are there? Politicians’ fuzzy math again. If a job is created for a year that’s 1 job. If it’s there for 2 years, that’s 2 jobs! What sense is that? And when they want to paint a sad picture of the homeless (the public thinks of cardboard boxes and park benches or living under overpasses). Yes, they can provide some sad pictures (like a woeful polar bear over and over) but most of those “homeless” growing numbers are young couples moving back in with parents until things get better. Not really all that horrible. Learn to see into things. Politicians play you to react in a certain way, but deception, lies and propaganda are easy to spot when you loosen up and look for it. If you believe it just because you saw it on TV, the Internet or in print you are naive - a fool. Anyone can fool you. Aren’t you better than that? I have never in my lifetime seen more potential for evil in America. I grew up trusting the media. The majority was truthful even if an anchorman had personal political leanings. Was it integrity or peer pressure, or fear of the wrath of the people and ratings? The surest way and quickest way for a reporter to find fame and fortune in those days was to expose corruption in Gov’t - that made politicians uneasy and somewhat more honest. Today, the media deliberately distorts, omits or covers up corruption. They’re in on it - not possible with even a modicum of vigilance - so evil has a free rein. With no one policing, the bad just get bolder, until the good people (good Americans) stand up en masse and shout, “Enough!” In the movies, this is when they rack in a shell or you hear the hammer pulled back. This is about where we are as a nation now - probably why they want our guns. Patrick Henry said, “The Constitution is not a document to restrain The People. It is an instrument for The People to restrain the Government - lest it come to dominate our lives and our interests.” Did our wise founders foresee potential evil of aggressive men seeking power over the People’? Of course, and Henry described exactly what is now taking place! And more wise words said, “A Gov’t big enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have.”- Quoted before - not remembered enough.
We have had 8 terrorist attacks IN the U.S. in the last 6 months. I suggest this serious increase of attempted mayhem and death is because our president is perceived as weak and wimpy worldwide. He wants to talk with, cajole our enemies, instead of annihilate them. I want them dead - with an exclamation point! He chastises them with words. Our president, on vacation in Hawaii, wasn’t even notified of a terrorist detonating a bomb on a plane with hundreds (that mercifully didn’t go off) - for 3 hours! Had it exploded, would that have made it important enough to disturb him? Would he still have waited for 3 days to address the Nation? Disgusting! This terrorist was treated like he tried to rob a gas station, not bringing an act of WAR onto our soil - to murder innocent women and children on Christmas day! He was not grabbed and interrogated, to glean all the information they could, and back-trail to any accomplices immediately. He was arrested, mirandized and given a lawyer to shut him up, for cripes sake! No wonder our enemies laugh when our president speaks. Three days of golf and basketball later, our Commander in Chief says he, “allegedly” tried to blow up hundreds of innocents. It went POP - not KA-BOOM! Is that the damned difference? This Jerk had ties to Al Qaeda in Yemen, paid $2800 cash (one way ticket - no baggage) a revoked visa by the British, and a prominent father that warned a U.S. Embassy several times about his son - red flags all over, even to idiots! When in hell are we going to PROFILE all Muslims fitting these patterns -not depend on dumb, stupid luck and gang-tackling of Jihadists by brave passengers? How many Billions have we spent on Homeland Security to achieve this level of embarrassment? And Janet Napolitano (Home. Security Sec’y) unbelievably says, “Our system worked.” That same dummy-in-charge plays Obama’s word games too, calling “terrorism” man-made disasters and the “war on terror” is now a contingency operation. Cut the B.S. and kill the b--tards! “The first excuse from this administration’s mouth was blaming Bush’s policies. But Napolitano said way last March that they were going to re-do all of Bush’s procedures, and the FBI, CIA and other Gov’ts would share info. Obama now wants unionized labor to do all checking before boarding - surprise. And Obama said he waited 3 days to address the people so he wouldn’t give Al Qaeda the attention they craved. That same guy who wants public trials for Gitmo prisoners! Bull! This same Gov’t that can’t keep Muslims carrying explosives from boarding planes, figures the best deterrent is to declare no one can use the toilet in the last hour of flight, nor can you have a pillow, blanket or book to hide your explosives or detonating procedure. Now, that’s taking charge - feel safer? I say all passengers with Muslim names, especially from Muslim countries go through special lines for extra thorough searches and interrogation, since ALL terrorist attempts (so far) have been by Muslims. Any Muslims that have a problem with that - too damned bad. They are your brethren. Prove yourselves by turning the bad ones in. And if your Mosques and schools aren’t 100% pro-American, get them cleaned up, or get the hell OUT of America! Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt profiled - big time, and America is still great. And yes, please listen in on phone calls or e-mails to or from Muslim countries while we’re at war. Rout them out!
To close Guantananto Bay just to satisfy some radicals is beyond stupid. This is an excellent facility located safely away from the mainland. It is appropriately (and more-cheaply) run by the military. In a ridiculous rush to close it down, a good number of Yemeni prisoners were released by Bush for rehab back in Yemen, which is a joke. They get video games and crayons and watercolors therapy, then are in short time, pronounced cured. Two of those now head up Al Qaeda in Yemen. They furnished our Christmas bomber with explosives. Obama himself has released 60 Yemenis, with 91 still at Gitmo waiting to go home, retrain and fight or bomb us again. Is everybody in charge insane? You hold prisoners of war until the war is over - if that’s 60 years, so be it. They started it. To allow them to again, kill our soldiers (who captured them) or bomb us is too doltish for words. Shameful leadership, with so much evidence right before you. I say do this: Publicly (United Nations?) blame them for why Gitmo cannot be closed. Make a manly statement and follow through for once. What can they do - try to kill us’?
Congress slipped a little coal into the stockings of distracted taxpayers Christmas Eve. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went from $200 Billion to $400 Billion (for bailing out mortgages) to "unlimited" - a virtual license to steal for Barney Frank (and friends). Frank should be in jail now for his role in this economy crash. It tells me that they know this will cost a Trillion or more. Now they're financed, and you didn't even know - just the way they like it. And what's another Trillion?
Governor Doyle of Wisconsin made it law that all public schools (K-12) teach the history of organized labor. The Unions, of course, gave heavily to get him elected. Teachers are not required to teach about our Constitution or Bill of Rights. Why is that? But a governor or politician can dictate the indoctrination of choice to children? How far does this crap go?
How about the revolting scummy tactics by Harry Reid to buy those Senate democrat votes necessary to get Obama’s health care Bill passed, no matter that it violates the will of the majority and the Constitution. The Country is told there will be no cuts in Medicare, only a clean-up of waste and fraud. Then why do just 3 Florida counties (heavily democrat and seniors) in all of the United States get guarantees they will keep their Medicare Advantage plans? The Fed Gov’t obviously intends to take it away from all the rest of the Nation’s Seniors. The cost to taxpayers to procure that vote of Bill Nelson’s of Florida - $3-5 Billion - a vote that sells out all the rest of the nation’s seniors! Even if you were to now move into those 3 counties it wouldn’t apply to you. Congress customizes the laws to suit their needs. In that Bill is also a provision to give unpopular Chris Dodd $100 Million for a University hospital in his backyard to help get him re-elected. And of course, there is the $300 Million for the “Louisiana Purchase” vote, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska wrested away hundreds of Millions for the 60th necessary vote by getting his State exempted from having to pay the State’s portion of Medicaid expansion nationwide. Just two weeks before he proclaimed proudly, “My vote is not for sale.” Other states got hundreds of millions in concessions too, just to keep things running smoothly. All this in the face of the taxpayers. Who knows what other dirty deals were done under the table, behind those closed doors? And it is so outrageously un-Constitutional that they want it passed saying, it is not repealable by any future Congress without a two thirds majority - or next to impossible. Keep in mind, this health care Bill is not about health or care, it’s about power and control of your life and mine. That sinister thought is easily lost by many, as we encounter one deliberate distraction or subterfuge after another. I have seen. I know. I write to awaken others to the absolute evil lurking. I know it is difficult to believe (by many) that we have Americans in powerful positions that don’t like America much and think our Constitution is a hindrance in their plan for socialism - a dictating controlling Gov’t like the Europeans have. They are living proof it doesn’t work. We fought to get away from them and their archaic ways 230 years ago. If you are okay with all this and these “leaders” who would take us back there - God help you.
You deserve to lose your freedom if you don’t get out, and vote them out this time. Make it lop-sided or they may just sneak by again using illegal tactics, like ACORN bussing illegal aliens and others they round up (and probably bribe) without proper ID. They buss them from one district to another to vote repeatedly! The scuzzy ACLU fights this ID requirement every time, saying poor people don’t have one. Bull! It is free for the asking or effort and can stop voting fraud. That is why the ACLU and ACORN are always against it. It’s not FOR the poor people, it’s so they can use, and milk the poor to maximum advantage and rape the system for their agendas! I have a unique concept. If the Gov’t is going to provide everything for everyone, using taxpayer money for funding, then only taxpayers should have a right to vote. It is evil whenever any Representative or Senator can, or is willing (like the Nelsons) to say, “I will vote for the Bill if my State is exempt from the laws or taxes the other 49 must adhere to.” That is more than just wrong, it portends evil in both - those offering, and those accepting! It’s not the America I want to believe in, but it is shamefully, the America of today.
I caught a TV interview about the health care provided by one particular hotel chain owner with thousands of employees. The national average expense of $7,500 per employee for care was brought down to $2,500 by him. He had his own hospital, hired doctors and nurses, and after a $500 personal employee co-pay, he paid 100% of all further expenses. It shows that there are terrific examples (simple, common-sense solutions) out there begging to be looked at, if someone would only bother. But he said he would have no choice as a businessman, he would just pay his $750 fine annually for each employee and let the Gov’t handle it. He said he would save millions and all his competitors would do it anyway. Do you think the Gov’t (taxpayer money) can do as well as he did with that $750 they just fined him? Every employer in the U.S. will drop their employees’ health coverage for a measly $750 or $1000 fine, and Obama, Pelosi and Reid will shortly, have their single-payer Gov’t control. Obama said, “If you like your insurance coverage, keep it.” He knew he would force your employer to drop you. Now, are you going to pay the $7,500 to continue it or pay the $750 fine also, and quit fighting? See how he will control you? Mission accomplished. He will now happily pay (with taxpayer funds) 10 times what he fines, just for control. And he said illegals will not be covered under this Bill (to get it passed). He’s not lying because he knows he will give them all amnesty soon, despite Americans being vehemently against it. He wants those future votes for even more power.
Despite no increase in Social Security cost-of-living (COLA) for the first time in history and perhaps not for the next 3 years I hear, Medicare Part B will increase from $96.50 to $104.20 (8%) this year and to $120.20 in 2011, a whopping 25% more! While we’ve lost 7.3 Million jobs in this recession, Fed Gov’t jobs are rising and those making over $100,000 (not including overtime or bonuses) have exploded upward almost 50% in just the last 18 months. Those getting over $150,000 have more than doubled! And they have fat pensions with terrific health coverage. They average 3-4-1/2% annual pay boosts while Seniors get no COLA and jacked-up health costs, plus intended rationed care! And the average Fed pay is $71,000 versus $40,000 in the private sector.
When our Constitution and Bill of Rights were written there were also health care problems, but nowhere did they think the Gov’t had any role to play. That alone says it is un-Constitutional today to mandate care, and the purchase of insurance! The lack of spine is sickening in Senate republicans. If they bothered to fight this $2.5 Trillion health care Bill it would be well into the
election year of 2010 before any “rammed down our throat” passage by the democrat majority. That would create fear - being fresh in the minds of the ticked-off voters. And the Republicans wimpy resistance, in order to run home for Christmas will not be forgotten either! Patriots, they are not! This is the most repugnant, dangerous Bill America has seen in two hundred years (rushed - not even read) blatantly defying the Constitution they swore to uphold and defend. Both parties stink. Throw them all out! Make a strong statement - to match their stench!
America is going to be attacked soon and often. I fear, as our blase, so-called security is totally re-active - NOT active and aggressive, like Israel’s. We allow the likes of the ACLU to demand our civil rights (like searches and eavesdropping) while so many are trampling our Constitutional Rights. Meanwhile, terrorists are going to have a field day! Expect them to hit crowded airport terminals by dropping off baggage bombs, or wherever there is relaxed surveillance - even car bombs wherever you have valet parking or easy access, what could be simpler, especially with a burgeoning home-grown terrorism element. They can now teach and recruit new-found radicals and nut-cases right over the Internet - even how to build the bombs. They sense weakness and softness, and are getting bolder! Our American way of life (and attitudes) are about to be vastly
changed – forever - and priorities will radically change when bodies pile up! Sorry, but you need to know.

He wants to talk with, cajole our enemies, instead of annihilate them. I want them dead - with an exclamation point! He chastises them with words. Our president, on vacation in Hawaii, wasn’t even notified of a terrorist detonating a bomb on a plane with hundreds (that mercifully didn’t go off) - for 3 hours! Had it exploded, would that have made it important enough to disturb him? Would he still have waited for 3 days to address the Nation? Disgusting! This terrorist was treated like he tried to rob a gas station, not bringing an act of WAR onto our soil - to murder innocent women and children on Christmas day! He was not grabbed and interrogated, to glean all the information they could, and back-trail to any accomplices immediately. He was arrested, mirandized and given a lawyer to shut him up, for cripes sake! No wonder our enemies laugh when our president speaks. Three days of golf and basketball later, our Commander in Chief says he, “allegedly” tried to blow up hundreds of innocents. It went POP - not KA-BOOM! Is that the damned difference? This Jerk had ties to Al Qaeda in Yemen, paid $2800 cash (one way ticket - no baggage) a revoked visa by the British, and a prominent father that warned a U.S. Embassy several times about his son - red flags all over, even to idiots! When in hell are we going to PROFILE all Muslims fitting these patterns -not depend on dumb, stupid luck and gang-tackling of Jihadists by brave passengers? How many Billions have we spent on Homeland Security to achieve this level of embarrassment? And Janet Napolitano (Home. Security Sec’y) unbelievably says, “Our system worked.” That same dummy-in-charge plays Obama’s word games too, calling “terrorism” man-made disasters and the “war on terror” is now a contingency operation. Cut the B.S. and kill the b--tards! “The first excuse from this administration’s mouth was blaming Bush’s policies. But Napolitano said way last March that they were going to re-do all of Bush’s procedures, and the FBI, CIA and other Gov’ts would share info. Obama now wants unionized labor to do all checking before boarding - surprise. And Obama said he waited 3 days to address the people so he wouldn’t give Al Qaeda the attention they craved. That same guy who wants public trials for Gitmo prisoners! Bull! This same Gov’t that can’t keep Muslims carrying explosives from boarding planes, figures the best deterrent is to declare no one can use the toilet in the last hour of flight, nor can you have a pillow, blanket or book to hide your explosives or detonating procedure. Now, that’s taking charge - feel safer? I say all passengers with Muslim names, especially from Muslim countries go through special lines for extra thorough searches and interrogation, since ALL terrorist attempts (so far) have been by Muslims. Any Muslims that have a problem with that - too damned bad. They are your brethren. Prove yourselves by turning the bad ones in. And if your Mosques and schools aren’t 100% pro-American, get them cleaned up, or get the hell OUT of America! Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt profiled - big time, and America is still great. And yes, please listen in on phone calls or e-mails to or from Muslim countries while we’re at war. Rout them out!
To close Guantananto Bay just to satisfy some radicals is beyond stupid. This is an excellent facility located safely away from the mainland. It is appropriately (and more-cheaply) run by the military. In a ridiculous rush to close it down, a good number of Yemeni prisoners were released by Bush for rehab back in Yemen, which is a joke. They get video games and crayons and watercolors therapy, then are in short time, pronounced cured. Two of those now head up Al Qaeda in Yemen. They furnished our Christmas bomber with explosives. Obama himself has released 60 Yemenis, with 91 still at Gitmo waiting to go home, retrain and fight or bomb us again. Is everybody in charge insane? You hold prisoners of war until the war is over - if that’s 60 years, so be it. They started it. To allow them to again, kill our soldiers (who captured them) or bomb us is too doltish for words. Shameful leadership, with so much evidence right before you. I say do this: Publicly (United Nations?) blame them for why Gitmo cannot be closed. Make a manly statement and follow through for once. What can they do - try to kill us’?
Congress slipped a little coal into the stockings of distracted taxpayers Christmas Eve. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went from $200 Billion to $400 Billion (for bailing out mortgages) to "unlimited" - a virtual license to steal for Barney Frank (and friends). Frank should be in jail now for his role in this economy crash. It tells me that they know this will cost a Trillion or more. Now they're financed, and you didn't even know - just the way they like it. And what's another Trillion?
Governor Doyle of Wisconsin made it law that all public schools (K-12) teach the history of organized labor. The Unions, of course, gave heavily to get him elected. Teachers are not required to teach about our Constitution or Bill of Rights. Why is that? But a governor or politician can dictate the indoctrination of choice to children? How far does this crap go?
How about the revolting scummy tactics by Harry Reid to buy those Senate democrat votes necessary to get Obama’s health care Bill passed, no matter that it violates the will of the majority and the Constitution. The Country is told there will be no cuts in Medicare, only a clean-up of waste and fraud. Then why do just 3 Florida counties (heavily democrat and seniors) in all of the United States get guarantees they will keep their Medicare Advantage plans? The Fed Gov’t obviously intends to take it away from all the rest of the Nation’s Seniors. The cost to taxpayers to procure that vote of Bill Nelson’s of Florida - $3-5 Billion - a vote that sells out all the rest of the nation’s seniors! Even if you were to now move into those 3 counties it wouldn’t apply to you. Congress customizes the laws to suit their needs. In that Bill is also a provision to give unpopular Chris Dodd $100 Million for a University hospital in his backyard to help get him re-elected. And of course, there is the $300 Million for the “Louisiana Purchase” vote, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska wrested away hundreds of Millions for the 60th necessary vote by getting his State exempted from having to pay the State’s portion of Medicaid expansion nationwide. Just two weeks before he proclaimed proudly, “My vote is not for sale.” Other states got hundreds of millions in concessions too, just to keep things running smoothly. All this in the face of the taxpayers. Who knows what other dirty deals were done under the table, behind those closed doors? And it is so outrageously un-Constitutional that they want it passed saying, it is not repealable by any future Congress without a two thirds majority - or next to impossible. Keep in mind, this health care Bill is not about health or care, it’s about power and control of your life and mine. That sinister thought is easily lost by many, as we encounter one deliberate distraction or subterfuge after another. I have seen. I know. I write to awaken others to the absolute evil lurking. I know it is difficult to believe (by many) that we have Americans in powerful positions that don’t like America much and think our Constitution is a hindrance in their plan for socialism - a dictating controlling Gov’t like the Europeans have. They are living proof it doesn’t work. We fought to get away from them and their archaic ways 230 years ago. If you are okay with all this and these “leaders” who would take us back there - God help you.
You deserve to lose your freedom if you don’t get out, and vote them out this time. Make it lop-sided or they may just sneak by again using illegal tactics, like ACORN bussing illegal aliens and others they round up (and probably bribe) without proper ID. They buss them from one district to another to vote repeatedly! The scuzzy ACLU fights this ID requirement every time, saying poor people don’t have one. Bull! It is free for the asking or effort and can stop voting fraud. That is why the ACLU and ACORN are always against it. It’s not FOR the poor people, it’s so they can use, and milk the poor to maximum advantage and rape the system for their agendas! I have a unique concept. If the Gov’t is going to provide everything for everyone, using taxpayer money for funding, then only taxpayers should have a right to vote. It is evil whenever any Representative or Senator can, or is willing (like the Nelsons) to say, “I will vote for the Bill if my State is exempt from the laws or taxes the other 49 must adhere to.” That is more than just wrong, it portends evil in both - those offering, and those accepting! It’s not the America I want to believe in, but it is shamefully, the America of today.
I caught a TV interview about the health care provided by one particular hotel chain owner with thousands of employees. The national average expense of $7,500 per employee for care was brought down to $2,500 by him. He had his own hospital, hired doctors and nurses, and after a $500 personal employee co-pay, he paid 100% of all further expenses. It shows that there are terrific examples (simple, common-sense solutions) out there begging to be looked at, if someone would only bother. But he said he would have no choice as a businessman, he would just pay his $750 fine annually for each employee and let the Gov’t handle it. He said he would save millions and all his competitors would do it anyway. Do you think the Gov’t (taxpayer money) can do as well as he did with that $750 they just fined him? Every employer in the U.S. will drop their employees’ health coverage for a measly $750 or $1000 fine, and Obama, Pelosi and Reid will shortly, have their single-payer Gov’t control. Obama said, “If you like your insurance coverage, keep it.” He knew he would force your employer to drop you. Now, are you going to pay the $7,500 to continue it or pay the $750 fine also, and quit fighting? See how he will control you? Mission accomplished. He will now happily pay (with taxpayer funds) 10 times what he fines, just for control. And he said illegals will not be covered under this Bill (to get it passed). He’s not lying because he knows he will give them all amnesty soon, despite Americans being vehemently against it. He wants those future votes for even more power.
Despite no increase in Social Security cost-of-living (COLA) for the first time in history and perhaps not for the next 3 years I hear, Medicare Part B will increase from $96.50 to $104.20 (8%) this year and to $120.20 in 2011, a whopping 25% more! While we’ve lost 7.3 Million jobs in this recession, Fed Gov’t jobs are rising and those making over $100,000 (not including overtime or bonuses) have exploded upward almost 50% in just the last 18 months. Those getting over $150,000 have more than doubled! And they have fat pensions with terrific health coverage. They average 3-4-1/2% annual pay boosts while Seniors get no COLA and jacked-up health costs, plus intended rationed care! And the average Fed pay is $71,000 versus $40,000 in the private sector.
When our Constitution and Bill of Rights were written there were also health care problems, but nowhere did they think the Gov’t had any role to play. That alone says it is un-Constitutional today to mandate care, and the purchase of insurance! The lack of spine is sickening in Senate republicans. If they bothered to fight this $2.5 Trillion health care Bill it would be well into the
election year of 2010 before any “rammed down our throat” passage by the democrat majority. That would create fear - being fresh in the minds of the ticked-off voters. And the Republicans wimpy resistance, in order to run home for Christmas will not be forgotten either! Patriots, they are not! This is the most repugnant, dangerous Bill America has seen in two hundred years (rushed - not even read) blatantly defying the Constitution they swore to uphold and defend. Both parties stink. Throw them all out! Make a strong statement - to match their stench!
America is going to be attacked soon and often. I fear, as our blase, so-called security is totally re-active - NOT active and aggressive, like Israel’s. We allow the likes of the ACLU to demand our civil rights (like searches and eavesdropping) while so many are trampling our Constitutional Rights. Meanwhile, terrorists are going to have a field day! Expect them to hit crowded airport terminals by dropping off baggage bombs, or wherever there is relaxed surveillance - even car bombs wherever you have valet parking or easy access, what could be simpler, especially with a burgeoning home-grown terrorism element. They can now teach and recruit new-found radicals and nut-cases right over the Internet - even how to build the bombs. They sense weakness and softness, and are getting bolder! Our American way of life (and attitudes) are about to be vastly
changed – forever - and priorities will radically change when bodies pile up! Sorry, but you need to know.
