The Big Kahuna keeps bringing in the talent! Enjoy the “Random Thoughts” of a most interesting gentleman. You may contact him here.

I hope my "random thoughts" won't be too overbearing.  I am a 10 year Marine veteran who served proudly, including in Vietnam.  I then became a Federal Officer, with a specialty in intelligence, among other things for 30 years.  I retired a few years ago after a 40 year career so I try to be politically aware. I am told by some that I skate on the razor's edge between balance and a radical opinion.

I love this country, I prefer a Republic, not Marxism or "social democracy”, and I tend to be very conservative on many topics, including: the value of life, duty, family, accepting responsibility for ones' actions, honor, and justice.  I seek TRUTH in its many forms, but I believe many are afraid of it.

Global Warming:  How I learned to love Mother Nature after Hurricane Katrina

Have you noticed that "Global Warming" aka Climate Change has not been an important issue now that fall is quickly slamming us into a cold winter season?  It seems that not only have temperatures plummeted but the Pacific Ocean is colder now than it has been in years.  What happened to change these weather situations?

The answer is quite clear.  Nothing changed.  Mother Nature is simply going through "her" gradual cyclic hormonal metamorphosis.  The Liberal agenda is to convince us that humans are going to kill Mother Earth.  My response to them is that we should not worry so much about how we will harm Mother Nature.  We need to concentrate on how Mother Nature is going to destroy us!

Mother Nature is a non-discriminating destroyer of people, places and things as she has always been.  She has destroyed and rendered extinct many forms of life long before man crawled out of the primeordial slime.  She has changed the face of the planet constantly as she stretches her muscles and changes her "furniture" as she sees fit.

Land becomes covered by water.  Water eats up shorelines in one area while silt builds up land masses in other areas. Rivers change course leaving once lush areas barren.  Forests are cut down.  But trees spring up in other areas if by magic.  Temperature changes occur in a cycle that can be charted.  Some seasons are milder than others.  Sometimes there are floods.  Sometimes there are dry periods.  Mother Nature does not believe the arrogance of man who thinks that he can harness her, tame her and control her.  Nor does she fear man's self-proclaimed power to destroy her.

Mother Nature sends lightning down to destroy forests by fires she starts.  She spawns tornadic winds, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and all of the weapons of destruction within her power.  We should fear and respect Mother Nature and all of her forces.  For it is not we who will destroy her.  It is she who may well destroy us.  No matter how "green" we are.

Mr. Veritas

This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is said to be Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.

A German's View on Islam

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims an d homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

Emanuel Tanay, M.D.

Ready for a shock?  Below is an article from the London Times about our military.   Interesting, it is!  Our media coverage is shameful!

Winning  Isn't News

By INVESTOR'S  BUSINESS DAILY

Iraq: What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell the American public? Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for the news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq.

London's Sunday Times called it 'the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.' A terrorist force that once numbered  more than 12,000, with strongholds in the west and central regions  of  Iraq, has over two years been reduced to a

mere 1,200 fighters,  backed  against the wall in the northern city of Mosul.

The destruction of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) is one of the most unlikely and unforeseen events in the long history of American warfare. We can thank President Bush's surge

strategy, in which he bucked both Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington  by increasing our forces there instead of surrendering.

We  can also thank the leadership of the new general he placed in charge there, David Petraeus, who may be the foremost expert in the world  on counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those serving in our military in  Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal leaders and convinced them America was their friend and AQI their enemy.

Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of  ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar Province, which had  been written off as a basket case, and spread out from  there.

Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and the  U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry  Regiment is destroying the fraction of terrorists who are left.  More than 1,000 AQI

operatives have already been  apprehended.

Sunday Times (London) reporter Marie Colvin, traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul, found little AQI presence even in  bullet-ridden residential areas that were once

insurgency strongholds,  and reported that the terrorists have lost control of its Mosul urban  base, with what is left of the organization having fled south into the

countryside.

Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government has achieved 'satisfactory' progress on 15 of the 18 political benchmarks 'a big change for the better from a year ago.'

Things are going so well that Maliki has even  for the first time floated the idea of a timetable for withdrawal of  American forces. He did so while visiting the United

Arab Emirates, which over the weekend announced that it was forgiving almost $7 billion of debt owed by Baghdad, an impressive vote of confidence from a  fellow Arab state in the future of a free Iraq.

But where are the headlines and the front-page stories about all this good  news? As the Media Research Center pointed out last week, 'the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 were silent Tuesday night about the benchmarks 'that signaled political progress.'

The war in Iraq has been turned around 180 degrees both militarily and politically because the president stuck to his guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox News Channel and parts of the foreign press, the media don't seem to consider this historic event a big story.

Addendum:  The reason you haven't seen this on American television or read about it in the American press is simple--journalism is 'dead' in this country.  They are controlled by Liberal Democrats who would rather see our troops defeated than recognize a successful

Republican initiated response to 9/11.

Media probably were holding 'til after coronation of BHO in order to give him credit.

God bless our troops, God bless our current President and God bless the U.S.A. 

Lessons to Obama

I should send this to Obama so he can learn from some ageless wit

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
-Winston Churchill

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
- George Bernard Shaw

A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
-G Gordon Liddy 

Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
-Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
-P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
-Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:

If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
-Ronald Reagan (1986)

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!
-P.J. O'Rourke

The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
-Ronald Reagan

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
-Winston Churchill

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:

-Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30
-Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000
-Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million
-Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostlyencompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency
and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty
percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase.

Of course there are exceptions, but generally the government welfare dependent and under-informed have voted Democrat for years yet they are still government welfare dependent and under-informed.

Notice that only in the states of Alaska and Oklahoma :All counties were won by McCain/Palin.

Conservative Primer,

Or How I learned to Hate Socialism

Edmund Burke, an Irish politician and political theorist, was a Supreme Conservative noted as one of the finest political thinkers in the English Parliment.

Burke knew that human beings were creatures of emotion who were at best imperfect.  He knew also that idealistic aims are always unattainable.  Therefore, those who actually think that they can change the world are delusional.  This is not meant to discourage one from being the most perfect "I" they can be, nor to try to make their sphere of influence a better place to live.  People and governments need to deal with imperfect humans as they are, extremely unequal in talent, initiative, and ambition, yet most have a bit of good and evil. 

All men are created equal is one of the biggest myths perpetuated in any society.  A more accurate statement is:  "all men are created equal under the law"!

Citizens are more likely to prosper under a government of practical leaders rather than idealistic, charismatic, psuedo-Messiahs who use soaring rhetoric rather than logic to govern.  It is not intellectual prowess that is called for in government but an understanding of human nature, steadiness of character and common sense.  A leader is one who thinks rather than feels, yet has true compassion for others.  Thinkers are conservative.  Emotional, clever idealists are liberal.  Which kind of leader do you think is the president-elect?

Previously I mentioned being the most perfect "I" you can be.  Ayn Rand, the mother of Objectivism believed there is an "I" in TEAM.  If a team is made up of "sheeple" rather than people there is no "I".  However, if each member of the team has developed their "I" (talent, ambition, initiative, skill) to the best of their ability they can through their synergism (the sum of the whole is greater than it's parts) achieve greatness as a team.  A person in any walk of life can achieve success if they understand the principle of a strong "I".  True conservatives are generally strong "I" people.  Liberals believe that it "takes a village".  To them it is all about the TEAM.

If "it takes a village" is true why is the continent of Africa filled with countries which are still primitive?  There are human beings who are starving, dying of disease and hunger remaining in a location that may be arid, with a poor food supply and insufficient water who are literally sitting pitifully in one place rather than migrating toward a better life.  They have been conditioned by government to depend entirely on that government to provide for their every need.  They have become liberal "slaves" who believe that only the government can provide for them.  They won't even walk a few miles to a water well, or plant their own food.  This situation has now invaded the USSA (United Socialist States of Amerika) as the uninformed continue to elect socialists to political positions of power.  More and more hands are turned palm up as the new Amerikan (sic) "slaves" wait for their problems to be solved by the Lord Obama and his socialist Liberal minions.

Immanuel Kant, a Rationalist, said: "Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing can ever made", yet somehow mankind has created amazing societies throughout history.  One of the greatest was the Republic of the original United States of America.  The evolution brought about by socialism over the last 60 years has eroded the Republic and an Idiocracy called the USSA has taken its place.  There are those in government who believe that Americans owe their entire existence to the State.  And Liberals support and elect these politicians to oversee the new Idiocracy they have created. Under the new administration of Lord Obama we will be enmeshed in conflict and individual freedom will slowly erode.

Karl Marx, a tutor to Lord Obama and his liberal minions, believed that "The Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to CHANGE it".  And Lord Obama is all about CHANGE right?  Socially educated Liberals believe each successive state of affairs is eventually brought to an end by its own internal contradictions and conflict, and human beings will be swept along by it until a conflict-free situation is reached.  The problem is that under socialism, conflict leads to more discord and more conflict without a logical conflict-free solution.

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" said Mr. Marx, and Lord Obama and his liberal minions believe every word.  In fact Lord Obama wants to spread the wealth around by taking from the "rich" and giving to the non-productive "poor".  Stand by for the change, which I believe will include: economic disaster, more and more people out of work, more poverty, ownership and control of production concentrated into fewer and fewer hands, government bailouts and financial institution takeovers, an increased working class, a polarized society split into two classes capitalists (Bourgeoisie) and workers (Proletariat) followed by labor strikes and conflicts which will eventually lead to a "Revolution".  One can only hope that a peaceful "Revolution" will take place in 2010 when sanity will be restored and a Conservative rebirth will result in a majority in Congress and the Senate.   Human beings no longer coerced by the Big Brother State under the Lord Obama would then regain their prosperity and freedom.  God bless America.

The Future Of The United Socialist States Of America (USSA) Under Lord Obama

Obama running for President is like a dog running after an automobile.  Now that Obama has "caught" it, what will he do with it?  I am not a soothsayer; however, I have worked in the U.S. Government for 40 years, lived under every president since FDR, and toured the world studying socialist, communist and Muslim ruled governments.  I have learned a few things that help me understand what the future holds for us.  Keep this narrative handy, and in four years if I am wrong let me know.  I will humbly apologize for anything I am incorrect about.  Everyone who voted for Lord Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama-Soweta deserves what is about to happen.  We the loyal Americans will roll with the punches and survive quite well because we know what communism is, and we will tighten our belts, study and work harder and slowly through discipline begin to live well within our means. We are self-sufficient and have not relied on Big Government to control every aspect of our life. Nor have we held our hand out looking for a free government giveaway.  I read a church billboard today which gives a message of hope to those devasted by a Lord Obama presidency.  The sign simply said: Obama:  This Too Shall Pass! 

The Decline and Fall of the free American Democracy has begun.  The economic decline will continue.  In fact it will worsen over the next four years.  Before Christmas 2008, an event that Mr. and Mrs. Obama and their daughters do not celebrate (they choose to celebrate Kwanza),  joblessness will increase to record levels.  Major business and small business will begin to fire people in preparation for Lord Obama's extreme socialist regime.  Unions will strike just in time to put hard-working Obama voters and the loyal opposition out of work before the Holidays.  And the liberal congress who control Obama will do nothing to stop it nor fix it.  Our current congress created our economic decline, and conveniently blamed it all on President Bush.  They won't admit they allowed and assisted irresponsible people in cheating the American public out of their investments.  This economic decline, perfectly timed, allowed them to get "The One" elected.

Lord Obama's presidency will lead to double-digit inflation.  The economy will spiral into a major recession and approach a depression.  Consumers will stop spending and business will slow down to a crawl.  Many small business owners will go "under".  In two years all of the Bush tax cuts will go back into effect automatically, and without the workers knowing about it.  The new USSA (sic) will lead the country further into what Karl Marx called scientific communism.  The country instead of prospering will become impoverished as the middle-class is taxed into poverty and the "bourgeoisie" becomes richer but begins to produce its own gravediggers who will become the "proletariat".  There will be a worker's insurrection lead by those who voted with their eyes "wide-shut", but now will want to return to a time before 2006.  The Obama voters thought Lord Obama would bring about positive change not the destruction of a great society.  They will talk about the good old days before 2006 when the Liberals were voted into the majority and when the decline of Amerika (sic) began.

A Lord Obama government will give Amerika (sic) both poverty and tyranny.  On the international front, Iran (who will build a Nuclear arsenal), Syria, and Afghanistan will begin to stream into an abandoned Iraq.  Murder and destruction will result and innocent people will die.  Lord Obama and the "gang-of-three" (Obama/Pelosi/Reid) will do nothing to stop the slaughter.  Israel and the Jews world-wide including the Jews in this country who unbelievably voted for Lord Obama will be severely threatened by the Muslims.  A Middle-East War may result similar to the 1967 "Six-Day War".  Except this time Nuclear weapons will be available.  The Jewish Obama voters may be ancestors of the holocaust victims, some of whom supported Adolph Hitler in Nazi Germany.  And those of us who understand history know what happened to those Jews.  Lord Obama, who is a Muslim sympathizer will do nothing to protect them from oppression.

Christian African countries will be overthrown in bloody wars by the Muslim hordes and Lord Obama will do nothing to help the continent he was born on.  Russia will place offensive weapons in South America, hold war-games in American waters, and begin to reclaim the former Soviet Union.  China will stretch its borders and reclaim its border-states as they deem necessary, and they will try to reclaim Taiwan.  North Korea will rattle its weapons of war and move toward a South Korean takeover.  Lord Obama will do nothing to stop them.  However, he may try to talk with them to reach a settlement.  In fact, Lord Obama plans to reduce the size and effectiveness of the USSA military.  Unafraid of Lord Obama the paper tiger, third-rate nations will laugh at "The One" and the great superpower the USSA used to be, BO (before Obama).

Eventually this will lead the Lord Obama voters to conclude that there must be something wrong with the Obama/Marxist template the country is following.  The bright among them will realize that they have become the enslaved proletariat.  They will come into the light from out of the Obama darkness and understand what they have done to destroy this country and freedom seeking countries all over the world. They will realize what some of us already know: Communism has failed wherever is is tried.  The insurrection will become a revolution and the majority of the country will look for conservative leadership to lead us back to sanity.  The "God is Dead" rulers will use the media to spead lies, destroy those who disagree with them, and look to the Lord Obama appointed Federal judges throughout the USSA to change laws to suit the ruling class.  The constitution will be challenged and perhaps changed forever by an Obama Supreme Court to support the Lord Obama regime.  Salvation must come from the loyal opposition which approaches over 80 million strong so far, and which under true conservative leadership, will overthrow the "gang-of-three" beginning in the congressional elections of 2010.  Wake up America!

Mr. Veritas

And The Wimps Shall Inherit The Earth

Now that the media and the pollsters have declared Lord Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama-Soweto the President elect of the United Socialist States of Amerika (USSA) even before the votes have been officially counted, equality has finally been reached in our oppressive country.  The Obama voters will now get exactly what they deserve.  Therefore, I submit that immediate changes be made in the U.S. to celebrate this historic event.

We must invalidate the 1964 Civil Rights Act and end Affirmative Action immediately.  There must be no more "protected species act" to allow racial quotas in the land of the free.  Every citizen must now compete on a level playing field.  There should be no more preferential treatment based on racial qualifications.  Unfortunately, Obama and his leftist regime have demonstrated what they think about women in our society, so women of all ethnic backgrounds must now don their Burkas and walk three steps behind their sovereign lords.

Obama "mamas" will thrill in their sublimation by the "cute" Lord Obama and his male comrades, and will willingly give up their hard-earned freedom as long as preaches to them, smiles at them and promises them that he, the great Obama will take care of them.  I guess you could say the President Pimp is now in charge of them and their earnings.  He will take tax money from them and us and distribute it as he sees fit.

Congratulations to the Amerikan (sic) "wimps" who don't believe America is worth fighting for.  The winners in this "revolution of change" include those for Big-Brother Government, for the killing of the innocent, and against death of the criminally defective; for genocide, for homosexual marriage, for atheism, for higher taxes to promote redistribution of the wealth, for socialism, for rewarding the unproductive, for punishing the successful, for pacifism, for illegal aliens being rewarded for breaking the immigration laws, for lawlessness, for anti-Americanism, for destruction of the coal industry, for "Green" taxes to punish those who are perceived to be "killing" the planet, for "sky-rocket" energy bills, for civil unrest, for Reverend Wright's, Father Flegar's, Farrakhan's, and Mr. and Mrs. Obama's documented racism, for planning the destruction of the U.S. military power, for planning to surrender to our enemies, for supporting Palestine and the Arab nations while being against Israel, for the Lord Obama but against God.

As Emperor Claudius of the Roman Empire once declared when Rome was faced with a similar fate as ours: "Let all the poisons now rise to the top."  As the ABC President elect, (Arab/Black/Caucasian), Lord Obama must now tell all minorities that they must get a good education, work hard, compete on a level playing field and expect no more hand-outs from the Federal Government.  As a loyalist I will watch with interest.  God (if He is still alive) bless us all.

Mr. Veritas

Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,

Before the days of Dylan, or the dawn of Camelot.

There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,

For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born,

Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn.

We learned to gut a muffler, we washed our hair at dawn,

We spread our crinolines to dry in circles on the lawn.

We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince,

And Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.

We danced to 'Little Darlin,' and sang to 'Stagger Lee'

And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me , Me.

Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many,

And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.

And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see

A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me , Me.

We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice,

And when they made a movie, they never made it twice.

We didn't have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three,

Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me , Me.

Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp,

And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.

We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T,

And Oprah couldn't talk, yet, in the Land That Made Me , Me.

We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go,

At least not Bobby Darin or Marilyn Monroe.

For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be,

And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me , Me.

We'd never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead,

And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson, and Zeppelins were not Led.

And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkees lived in trees,

Madonna was a virgin in the Land That Made Me , Me.

We'd never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars,

And babies might be bottle-fed, but they weren't grown in jars.

And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and 'gay' meant fancy-free,

And dorms were never coed in the Land That Made Me , Me.

We hadn't seen enough of jets to talk about the lag,

And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.

And Hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea,

And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me , Me.

Buicks came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks,

And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks.

And Coke came just in bottles, and skirts below the knee,

And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me , Me.

We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues,

We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea

Or prime-time ads for condoms in the Land That Made Me , Me.

There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill,

And fish were not called Wanda, and cats were not called Bill.

And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three,

And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me , Me.

But all things have a season, or so we've heard them say,

And now instead of Maybelline we swear by Retin-A.

They send us invitations to join AARP,

We've come a long way, baby, from the Land That Made Me , Me.

So now we face a brave new world in slightly larger jeans,

And wonder why they're using smaller print in magazines.

And we tell our children's children of the way it used to be,

Long ago and far away in the Land That Made Me , Me.

For those of you too young to remember Bob Hope, ask your Grandparents!!! And thanks for the memories............

The writer of this essay is Jerry Molen.  Jerry is a great friend and an Academy Award winning Hollywood Producer.  He did Jurassic Park , Hook, Rainman, and many more class movies.  He won he Academy Award for Schindler's List.  Jerry is one of the very few clear thinking conservatives that I know from Hollywood .  We need to get this out to as many as possible to include liberal Democrats.  We are about to make the Mother-of-All-Mistakes, because the Republican Party gave us no reliable alternative.  In my opinion, if the conservative movement does not rally behind the only alternative left to us, this country will become a true Socialist State within the next two Presidential terms.  Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the most grave situation this nation has faced in my lifetime.

'Election woes defined by prose...'

We just experienced an overhyped, positively outrageous primary election season that has left me cold and wondering where the heads of our citizens are hiding out.  Must be someplace where the sun doesn't get to very often.

At one time in my life, I was a determined, dedicated, and ever-loyal registered Democrat.  Then something happened (Lyndon Baines Johnson) that turned my life around and gave me much pause as to the veracity of a party that dwelt on and fed off of the most unfortunate among us.  Some of those unfortunates were in their positions in life by way of their own choosing and others were there by circumstance.  But always, always with a door open to them to reach for new heights, achieve new goals, change their lives for the better.  And also, always ever present were the bottom feeders doing everything they could to take advantage of those who had not or have not seen the light of better days and times, nor realizing they were in fact the masters of their own destiny.  They had come to believe that they were dependent on those in power in Washington and that they would look out for them and take care of their every need.  They are still waiting and expecting all those promised freebies.

Most people aren't even aware that the Democrats ruled Washington for over 40 years.  It wasn't until 1994 when the so-called Gingrich Revolution changed that for a short period of time.  Nor do people realize that it was the Dem's that created the failed policies of the many entitlement programs that are falling apart right before our eyes.  Please do not think I find the Republicans blameless in all this.  They, too, suffer from ego inflation and greed motivators built into the system.  It's just that the past few months I've listened to the rantings and railings of the left in America calling for more giveaways and better ways to obtain the proverbial 'free lunch'.

I think that to sum up my feelings and why I am so set apart from those within the circles of political power and influence can be illustrated best by a quote by noted basketball legend and talk show co-host Charles Barkley:

'Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last fifty years ... and they are still poor.'

And now with the election results comes the promises of 'change'.  'Change we can believe in.'  'Change for the future.'  When in fact if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for, is not 'change of policy' or 'change for the better'.  He is warning all of us that he wants our change all right, 'loose change', pocket change', social change, and political change.  So people, wake up.  For if you don't, the change you get may not be the change you were expecting or the change you wanted.

To close my screed, I want to leave you with some JM predictions in the event the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President and especially if the House and Senate are veto proof.

1).  Strict new gun laws will be enacted even though he promised he would not.

2).  The phrase 'In God We Trust' will be removed from all currency.

3).  He will back away from his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.

4).  Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.

5).  Tax rates will return to their highest levels in 30 years.

6).  The capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.

7).  Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.  This is the General who was fired for 'integrity' issues.

8).  The borders will be 'basically open' to all comers ... especially those from the Middle East and South America .

9).  Amnesty will be granted to all illegals now in the U.S. regardless of status or even gang members (MS-13).

10).  The war in Iraq will be brought to an abrupt end and the results will be tragic and the consequences to our military will be devastating.

I realize that my predictions may not sit too well with some people and the best we could all hope for is that I am totally wrong.  Any bets?

If Lord Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad-Soweto Obama is elected the U.S. will enter into what Nietzsche referred to as an "exciting conflict" which will help the independent "supermen" to flourish.  Of course the weak will go under, but that is to be expected, because as Nietzsche stated "God Is Dead" and there should be no conscience as the strong feed off the weak.

A new State will be born from the ashes of the formerly great American Republic and as its Lord, Obama and his followers will seek to enslave or destroy all opposition.  Karl Marx will add to his infamous list of "servants", Lord Obama, along with Obama's heroes: Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, Tito, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi-minh and Fidel Castro, et.al.

The new United States of Amerika (USSA) will become an "Idiocracy" and the idea of a free Democracy will be thrown into the dustbin of history.  What will follow, according to Immanuel Kant, will be a period of cruelty and injustice followed by death.  All Obama "slaves" and comrades have a good life!

As for me, I would rather die on my feet defending Democracy than to serve on my knees under a "gang-of-three" (Obama/Pelosi/Reid) regime!

God Bless America.

OPEN LETTER TO OBAMA VOTERS

Dear Obama voters:

Thanks to your liberal/socialist education.  You will now use your brain-washing to vote for Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama, that  "cute" effete Arab Black Caucasian Messiah who will save you from growing up and facing reality. And who along with Pelosi and Reid will form the "gang of three" who will plunge you into the Hegelian, Marx/Engels communist reality.  I know you don't know what I am talking about; suffice it to say that you will help "grow" the government and turn over your money and life to the State.

Thanks to your idiocy the new Idiocracy under Lord Obama will become the United Socialist States of Amerika *USSA".  Your taxes will increase.  Health care will be nationalized.  Depression will follow.  Your savings, 401 K, and Social Security will be exhausted and you will join the masses standing in line waiting for the government to "bail" you out.  Keep waiting doing nothing for yourself because you will have joined the permanent working class.  Obama will finally do what socialists have been doing for years.  He will enslave the peasants (you) in a web from which you will not escape.  You will be serving the STATE.

Meanwhile I will be letting you pay for my Medicare, social security, retirement and the benefits the elderly will rely on you to pay for.  I will enjoy your idiocy until I finally reach oblivion.  You, though, will not have retirement to look forward to because every time you approach success the Obama government will increase your taxes and redistribute your hard earned money to the growing non productive in the USSA.

You will also forfeit social security.  It will be bankrupted by "the gang of three."  Your 401K will be eaten up by Obama's friends and associates on Wall Street.  You will be a slave of the state.  So thank you dear Obama voters for taking care of me.  I will be just fine. I will be in "flyover" country clinging to my family, tradition, religion and guns.  I feel sorry for you though, and I do have compassion for what you are about to endure.  I also feel sorry for your children who one day will damn you for your ignorance.  So stay "green". Save the planet.  Serve the master, Lord Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama.  Don't drill off-shore or seek energy independence.  Enjoy the abomination that will be the Obama-nation.  And always remember that a government that is big enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything you have.

p.s.  Learn Spanish and Arab "tongues".  Under Lord Obama the face of the USSA will change forever.  Thanks again.

Love,

Mr. Veritas

Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama, the most unqualified candidate for president in American history is slightly ahead in the polls with less than 30 days left before the election.  Here is what the liberal media and his brain-dead supporter don't want you to know.

Obama will not release his birth certificate.

Obama will not release his parents marriage license.

Obama will not release his college transcripts.

Obama will not release his Grade Point Average.

Obama will not release his college thesis.

Obama will not acknowledge his relationship with the terrorist Bill Ayers.

Obama will not acknowledge his disdain for the Jews.

Obama will not acknowledge his relationship with Louis Farrakhan the head of the Nation of Islam.

Obama will not acknowledge his relationship with Rev. Wright a black racist.

Obama will not acknowledge his relationship with the two CEO's of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who stole investors hard-earned money.  They now work for Obama.

Obama will not acknowledge that he is sympathetic with Ha mas and the Palestinian radicals.

Obama will not acknowledge that he is sympathetic with Iran.

Obama will not acknowledge that he will raise taxes on all tax-payers while sending a rebate check to those who do not pay taxes.

Obama will not acknowledge that he wants to redistribute the wealth in America except for his rich, elite, socialist/communist/terrorist friends.

Obama will not acknowledge that he supports infanticide and genocide.

Obama voted 3 times for partial birth abortion and killing babies who initially survive abortion attempts.

Obama will not acknowledge that he supports sex education for children too young to read.

Obama will not acknowledge that he wants to disassemble the U.S. military.

Obama will not acknowledge that he wants total gun control.

Obama will not acknowledge that he is a Marxist/socialist.

Obama will not acknowledge that he wants to grow the government to control every aspect of Amerikan (sic) life.

Obama will not admit that he does not let his children celebrate Christmas.

Obama will not admit that he does not believe in God.

Obama will not admit that he has disdain for traditional Americans who love their family, God, and who he claims cling to their guns in fear.

Obama will not admit that he is controlled by special interests who have made him rich.

For the young, old, inexperienced, mentally challenged, die-hard "yellow dog" Demo crates and others who want the change that Obama promises please remember that voters often get just what they deserve.  At my age I will survive.  The young will support me by their tax burden.  But when their time comes for social security, medi-care/aid, retirement, etc., the banks will be empty.  A vote for Obama is a vote for the growing socialist Idiocracy.

Think wisely.  Vote for the hero, NOT the ZERO.  God bless America.

This piece was written by a Cuban refuge named Manuel Alvarez, Jr. Who escaped from communist Cuba on June 30, 1968. You will find his observations very prophetic ... And very chilling. Make sure you get this into the hands of every person you know. Make sure you get this into the hands of every State GOP official you can you reach by email. These remarks could change the election.

Excerpt from "Letters to the Editor"

Beware Charismatic Men Who Preach 'Change'

Editor, Times-Dispatch:

Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day. On July 4 I celebrate America 's. This year is special, because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.

On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.

I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor, and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said "Praise the Lord." And when the young leader said, "I will be for change and I'll bring you change," everyone yelled, "Viva Fidel!"

But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the beginning of my story.

Luckily, we would never fall--in America --for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change?  How will you carry it out?  What will it cost America ?

Would we?

Manuel Alvarez Jr.
Sandy Hook .

Let me pose a question:  By the time Sen. Obama's much-promised, soon-coming (but never discussed) change takes place, and the American people are forced to take to their boats, rafts and inner tubes ... Where do we go? Cuba ? Haiti ? Think about that when you go out to vote on November 4 because this is the most critical election of your life. And, by the way, remember this, too. Not one single person has thought to ask Sen. Obama to be very specific in telling us precisely what changes he plans to make in our United States of America .

Unlike Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama, his handlers, friends and political allies, I tend not to be an anti-Semite.  I support all religions who do not try to kill me for their belief.

Many Americans have questions about Barack Obama and his views on Israel. And for good reason. His positions on Israel are reckless.

Most concerning is Barack Obama's naïve grasp of the threats against the United States and Israel.

From his opposition to legislation against labeling Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization (barackobama.com) to his willingness to meet with Iranian President Ahmadinejad without any preconditions (CNN/YouTube Debate, 7/23/07), Sen. Barack Obama has raised real questions about his judgment and experience.

Sen. Obama told a Jewish group he supports an undivided Jerusalem, only to flip-flop the very next day. (MSNBC.com, 6/6/08) Another time, Obama called his support for an undivided Jerusalem a "poor phrasing" of words. (Jerusalem Post, 7/14/08)

Obama himself has pointed out that "words matter." And they do, especially to people who care about the future of Israel. And they mattered earlier this year, when Obama stated, "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." (Politico.com, 3/13/07)

Sen. Barack Obama surrounds himself with a number of individuals and advisors who are hostile to Israel and American Jews. These men have played instrumental roles in shaping Sen. Obama's world views. They include Zbigniew Brzezinski, General Tony McPeak and Reverend Jeremiah Wright. All are known for their anti-Israel views.

Obama has not shown the wisdom, experience or strength to stand up to the people who would do us harm.

Commrades Hegel, Marx and Engels would be proud of their devoted student, Barry Barrack Hussein Muhammad Obama.  His campaign is filled with passion.  However, REASON IS THE SLAVE OF PASSION.  No reasonable person votes out of blind passion.  It dulls the senses and renders the passionate useless.  Liberals "feel", Conservatives THINK.  God bless America.

Obama And The Economy

Lately, Barry Barrack Hussein Obama the Black, Arab, Irish candidate of change has been discussing how he will improve the failing economy.  He quotes statistics that show millions of Americans without homes, losing homes, losing jobs, wandering around in America's desert of despair with no hope, their hands out waiting for the government to solve their problems.  Obama appeals to many young liberal students whose brain power isn't mature enough to even allow them to make rational driving decisions, people filled with socialist "white-guilt", and the frightened elderly, to vote him into power so that he can be "the baby daddy," and solve all of their problems.  But what is wrong with the bleak, black, pitiful picture he is painting?

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other lending institutions are going into the tank because of irresponsible Managers skimming huge sums of OPM (other peoples money) and giving loans to irresponsible "entitled" people who don't feel the need to pay the loans back, period!  And yes their are some people out of work.  But compared to the country as a whole this is not the time to panic.  What is needed is to let capitalism work.  The fundamentals of our economy are sound.  It is the greedy manipulators and speculators who need to be dealt with by a strong maverick and his trusty running mate.  Think McCain/Palin.

Barry Barrack Hussein Obama can not solve America's problems.  He can only add to them in a disastrous way.  Not only is he not qualified in any way to be President of the United States, he is potentially the Amerikan (sic) Manchurian Candidate who will grow the government and create a "soviet-style" State in America.  He can read fairly well from a teleprompter, however, when asked to answer a question whose answer is not written down for him, he stutters, flounders around and stammers to remember the liberal mantra he has been instructed to repeat.

Since the Obama camp continues to play the race card let me be very clear about my position.  Obama is the wrong black candidate because he is not qualified, has questionable friends and confidantes, takes the wrong position on almost every subject, believes in infanticide, sex education for those too young to read, believes in the philosophy of Hegel and Marx, and he believes in a large federal dictatorship.  A qualified black conservative of either gender would be highly acceptable to me.  I am anti-Hillary (the American Evita) all the way, but even she is preferable to Barry Barrack Hussein Obama.  And Joe Biden is a complete "drag" on any political ticket.  What an unqualified mess!

Here are some questions "we the people" have to answer for ourselves:

Are we really that bad off after the last eight years?

Are we safer now than we were against terrorism during Clinton's reign?

Do we really want to pay more taxes to redistribute the wealth to the non-producers?

Should we be suicidal enough to elect Barry Barrack Hussein Obama because some "victims" are sitting with their hands out rather than solving their own problems?

Can we afford an effete socialist/communist regime to "negotiate" with our enemies?

Also, ask yourself how in a "terrible" economy Barry Barrack Hussein Obama went to Barbara Streisand's Mansion, and raised $9,000,000 in one night?  For those liberals who like to feel rather than think, yes the stars are rich, but the money came from the fans.  It came from anyone who went to a movie or concert and paid exorbitant prices.  Entertainers are paid by us.

Someone must have money to "throw" away in this "terrible" economy with the salaries entertainers, professional athletes, and government officials make!  The federal government is also paid for by us.  The federal government does not make money.  They take money!  We are taxed on almost everything we buy.  After taxes, every dollar we work hard for using our talents is worth about 25 cents or less.  Do we want to give an Obama socialist regime more of our money to redistribute as they want?  Can we afford the rising energy prices brought about by a Democrat-run congress unwilling to drill offshore and in other areas in the U.S. including Anwar?  Since 2006 when the Senate and Congress were "taken over" by the liberals, America has eroded into its current abyss.  John McCain and Sarah Palin are the "prescription" America needs to succeed.

A funny postscript if I may.  Calling Michele Obama a black Jackie Kennedy is like Britain's calling Camilla, another Princess Diana.

Think carefully.  Vote wisely.  And remember if whites vote like the black voting block.  Obama can not be elected.  God bless America.

What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor   since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...shasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor;

St. Louis, MO (6th)....hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952;

Newark, NJ(10th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still disadvantaged.

L. A. Times
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County . )

(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.

Obama And The Danger Of Change

As we draw closer to election day the mantra of Barry Barrack Hussein Obama and his camp of mind numbed zombies has alerted me to the danger of his ideas of change.  He threatens the citizens of the United States of America with a government that will take from the productive and give to the non-productive.  His communist inspired beliefs are found in the works of Marx and Hegel, the creators of world socialist/communist regimes around the globe.  Granted liberal Democrats and elitist Independents alike all want to make history by electing this self-proclaimed Black Messiah.  However, they fail to realize that he is a media created phony.  Actually, he is a genetic hybrid who is allowed to chose what he wants to be.  He is a white-Irish, Black-Arab who conveniently chooses to portray himself as a black man.  Yet he ignores as much as possible his Black-Arab heritage and stresses his white grandparents who raised him, while ignoring his many Black/Arab relatives in Africa.

More to the point, Obama has no experience, no real plan, and no chance to effect any positive change in the U.S.  Even his running mate is ill equipped to solve the problems facing the next administration.  They both believe that they need to "grow" the government so that it can put a "chicken in every pot" and a car in every garage whether the citizens work or not.  Their "plan" is to tax the producers and increase government "give-away" programs.  What they don't say is that in America, free citizens should be allowed to choose whether to succeed or fail based on their willingness to apply themselves in school and then work hard to achieve their dreams for the "good life'.  In college many years ago, I stated the in America a person should be free to choose to starve to death.  My statement was misunderstood by the liberal students, including my professor, even after I explained that those who choose not to produce while sitting back waiting to be supported by the government, should be allowed to pay the price for their failure.  Hunger is a prime motivator!

Potential Obama voters should know and understand one important thing about the government they want to grow under an Obama administration:  A government that is big enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take away everything you have!  Under Obama the productive, the wealthy, the retired, the industrious, the brave, and our military heroes will all be taxed to support the ilitist governing class, i.e. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Clinton, Biden, el.al. And the dependent class of citizens, misinformed young, illegal aliens, "yellow-dog" Democrats, and the "dead" Chicago voters who helped elect JFK,  will be the voting base whose goal it is to elect the Black Messiah.  Wake up while their is still time.  Educate yourself by comparing every communist country and every dictator ruled country to the greatness of the United States of America.  The poor in our country would be considered upper middle class in almost every third-world country.  Vote intelligently with your conservative mind not with your liberal emotions.  Don't let Barry Barrack Hussein Obama, and his cronies lead our country into an Idiocracy ruled by socialist/communist leaders following failed communist principles.  Remember: Communism fails everywhere it is tried.  God bless America in this time of need.  VOTE FOR THE HERO NOT THE ZERO. 

Mr. Veritas

Don't dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the Alaska National Guard-- consider this.

Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks.  It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's.

She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counter terrorism plans.

Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska 'S proximity to Russia , she may have security clearances we don't even know about.

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.

She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

On August 29, 2008, Republican Presidential nominee, John McCain, announced Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska as his VP running mate. That selection has trumped and checkmated the Obama-Biden ticket.

Coming the day after Obama's historic acceptance speech at the Democratic convention, which speech and Obama's earlier pick of Joe Biden as his own VP running mate, were expected to be the top news item leading into the Republican convention the following week, McCain's pick of Sarah Palin however completely eclipsed those events.
In less than 24 hours, Obama's day in the sun had been come under a cloud of shadow and was relegated to history being completely upstaged by the Palin choice. The news cycles have talked about nothing else since in terms of the presidential politics.

The choice by McCain has stunningly energized the conservative base of the Republican party, an important segment McCain had his own problems with. But by choosing Palin, a staunch conservative, he has revitalized his commitment and perception in that area. Many conservatives who had relegated themselves to simply voting against Obama, are now more than willing to for 'for' Palin.

The choice also reached out directly to independents and disaffected Democratic voters, particularly women, who were so sorely disappointed by Hillary Clinton's narrow loss and the way they had been treated since Obama sealed the nomination. Particularly in overlooking Hillary Clinton, who won 18 million votes in the primaries, and actually had more votes than Obama, those disaffected women are also excited about Palin, and indicating by the tens of thousands on blogs and disaffected Hillary voter sites on the web that they intend to cross over and vote for her and McCain.

The Obama campaign and DNC, curiously, have already launched all out attacks against the choice and Palin herself, indicating that she does not have enough executive or national experience.

Excuse me? She does not have enough executive experience?

A simple analysis of the relative experience levels of Sarah Palin compared to either Democratic candidate puts this to rest. For over the past decade, Sarah Palin has been involved in executive decision making at increasing levels of elected positions of public trust. Obama has no executive experience, Biden has no executive experience. During that time, Palin left off running an actual private business in Alaska , a commercial fishing business and was elected to her city council and then, in quick order to be Mayor of her home town. She did so well there that she was ultimately elected to be Governor of the State of Alaska , managing 17,000 personnel and a 9 billion dollar budget. Obama and Biden have absolutely no comparable experience at all, neither of them.

In Alaska , as Governor, Sarah is also the Commander in Chief (CINC) for the Alaskan National Guard. This is a critical national assignment as Alaska sits on the border with Russia where Air National Guard aircraft intercept Russian Bear aircraft. Sarah Palin has taken her role as the Commander seriously, regularly visiting the units and coming to understand their duties and capabilities.

As Governor, Sarah has helped devise and push through a project for the largest natural gas line in the history of the US ...taking on entrenched politicians (on both sides of the aisle), lobby groups, and large corporations in the process. Her involvement with, and her understanding of, the Energy issue is unmatched by either Democratic candidate.

Outside of her direct role as Governor and speaking more to her personal values and commitment to them, Sarah walks the walk on the pro-life issue. Having found out well in advance of delivery that her youngest child would have downs syndrome, she and her husband thanked God for the blessing and brought the baby into a loving home. (By contrast, Obama has stated publically that he doesn't want his children 'punished' with a baby).

As Governor, Palin actually visited the wounded soldiers in Germany , while Obama, when given the same opportunity in Europe , refused to comply with Defense Department guidelines regarding his entourage, and skipped that part of his schedule.

Beyond all of this, there is also a part of Sarah Palin that most hard working, patriotic, and committed Americans are coming to adore about her. She is real. She is authentic. Not only has she stood up to corrupt politics and the old networks that have produced so much waste, fraud, and 'bridges to nowhere', she is also a regular person, and authentic all-American girl, wife, mother, and citizen.

She has actually walked the walk of reform and change instead of just talking about it.
She does not come from privilege, did not aspire to it, or become placed in it. She did not attend the Ivy League or prestigious schools. She has gotten to where she is by pure honesty, integrity, and strength of charachter and has been raising five kids and enjoying life while doing so.

All of this drives the leftist and anti-American crowd mad. Sarah Palin is the real deal. Young, refreshing, committed wife, mother, American citizen. She is the real deal when it comes to the change that is so much needed in American politics, particularly in Washington . John McCain must be congratulated for vetting her, seeing this, and putting her on the national stage.

She represents in fact, and in her own actions, what so many others (including Obama and the entrenched Biden) only talk about, and then go on with business as usual.
Obama, in his own actions and positions as a State Senator (voted merely present so many time in the State Senate, but voted no defending the Born Alive Abortion Protection Act there), in his own actions and positions as a US Senator (spent only 144 days on the job before beginning his campaign for the President, but in those short days was recognized as the Senator with the furthest left record), and particularly in his own willful associations of long standing with hateful, racists individuals like Jeremiah Wright (who preached 'Not God bless American, No, No, No, God Damn America!) to Obama and his children, and with the likes of Bill Ayers, the unrepentant, arrogant, and militantly anti-American political connection where Obama kicked off his own political career, who bomber the US Pentagon, the US Capitol, and NY City Police Headquarters and then claimed in an interview published on 911 that his only regret was that he had not done enough...no with such actions and such associations (not to mention Toni Rezco, Pleger, and others), Obama has proven that his change is precisely the type we do not want or need in Washington.

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.

You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.

You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT....    

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in  the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.  After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the  Free World .... 143 days.

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America?  Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!

Hi,  My son Joe just did a commercial for John McCain.   

Please pass this on.

Thanks

OBAMA INFANTICIDE AND 50,000,000 DEAD BABIES

Now the political end-game is finally on.  Obama/Biden versus McCain/Palin.  It is time for the Obama Traveling Salvation Show to finally state what Barry Barrack Hussein Obama will do for this country.  A country that he described in his acceptance speech, in the Roman circus atmosphere in Denver, as one in which all hope is lost.  A country that has descended into the depths of depression, hopelessness, despondency and despair.  A country that has one million people losing their homes, losing their jobs, and losing their reason to live after almost eight years of George Bush and conservative "rule".

After Obama's sermon on the mount in Denver I thought perhaps the liberal "bleeding-heart" multitudes shedding tears for their black messiah, would commit mass suicide.  But he gave them a message of hope.  In essence Obama said: follow me into the promised land.  Drink the grape Kool Aid, and lets all live under OBAMUNISM, the new political "religion" of the Lord Obama.  The masses all over the country went into a transcendental state and had a massive OBAMAGASM, that uncontrollable "Oprah Moment" when a person tears up and reaches a state of sexual satisfaction at exactly the same time!

John McCain, always the gentleman, paid good money to put out an ad congratulating Lord Obama on his accomplishments.  McCain pledged to let Obama enjoy his Thursday Circus Maximus at Mile High Stadium.  Then on Friday Mr. McCain shocked the political world and rocked Obama to the core.  McCain nominated Ms. Palin, a woman, as his running mate.  Hillary swooned and Obama gagged, and liberals all over America fell to their knees in disbelief.  The liberals had destroyed Hillary by brow beating and intimidating and yes, even cheating to ensure that their African, Arab, White, Male, Obamunist candidate would be The Chosen One.

When Ms. Palin was announced Obama's handlers immediately commented that Ms. Palin was an inexperienced candidate from an Alaskan city of less than 9000 people, and insinuated that she was certainly nothing more than a woman and a mother from a small town with no experience.  They dismissed the fact that she was an activist for equal rights for all, a Mayor and current Governor of the largest state in the nation.  She was summarily dismissed by the misogynist Obama camp as no threat to the Lord Obama. He of no executive experience of any kind whatsoever.

What these elitists do not realize is that John McCain is an American hero who served in the military, fought for his country, suffered as a prisoner of war for five and a half years, and has served his country for over three decades.  Ms. Palin is a proud mother of five children, one of whom joined the Army on September, 11, 2007 and will soon be deployed to Iraq.  She is also an accomplished servant for the American people.  she has executive experience, knows the oil business, believes in conservative values and actually removed an incumbent Governor, a dishonest Attorney General, and stopped the "bridge to nowhere".  She then slashed the budget, cut taxes and gave the people of Alaska a tax refund.  For an anti-American, anti-military, anti-democratic, and anti-woman "back room" political machine that controls Barry Barrack Hussein Obama to say Ms. Palin is not qualified to be Vice President is emblematic of how far removed from reality they really are, and it demonstrates how much distaste they have for women.  As an aside this is also a Muslim trait.  The woman must walk paces behind her master, and cover herself, lest she embarrass the man who controls every aspect of her life.

Many critics have already attacked Ms. Palin for being an anti-abortionist.  She believes that life has value and that the unborn deserve to be protected.  Lord Obama believes on abortion as a method of birth control, infanticide. and supports a continued slaughter of the unborn,  Under his administrative many more dead babies will be added to the 50,000,000 dead babies that have already been killed since Roe versus Wade.  Liberals when explaining the 50,000,000 abortions conducted in the country may paraphrase one of their icons from the past Joseph Stalin who said: "One dead baby is a tragedy, 50,000,000 is only a statistic"!

An early advocate of Roe versus Wade was in Texas a few years ago.  She had just left a meeting of abortion rights supporters when she drove past an empty playground.  She had an immediate visceral reaction, a veritable Epiphany, and said to herself:  "My God we are killing all of our children".  She went on to become a "born-again" Christian and today travels around the country trying to educate those who believe that a human life is only an "unviable tissue mass" nothing more.

The McCain/Palin ticket will protect America against its enemies, cut taxes, improve the economy and attack the energy crisis head-on.  Obama will continue to spread fear, hate, racial divide, and rewrite his history to suit his ego and political ambition.  There is no change with Lord Barry Barrack Hussein Obama only more of the same liberal rhetoric that has spewed forth for decades. 

By the way, the one million who may be losing their homes can not compare to the 17 million who bought new homes.  Do the research.  Don't believe all of the negativity you hear from liberal liars.  Think for yourself.  Vote wisely.  VOTE FOR THE HERO NOT THE ZERO.

The Current and Future Danger That Is Obama

I am driven by frustration and anger to respond to Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama's prepared speech in Germany today.  I also have to comment on his current press junket also known as "The Black Messiah's Traveling Salvation Show!"  Not since Alois Schilklegrouber (?) aka Adolph Hitler has such a contrived, staged propaganda circus been executed.  Germany, the home of two World Wars, is such an appropriate place for Lord Obama to stage his traveling circus act.

I almost expected goose-stepping "brown-shirts" wearing Obama arm bands to be in the adoring crowd of fascists gathered in Berlin to witness the debacle that is Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama.  I was amazed that Obama stated that he was not there as a politician but as a citizen of the world.  I almost shed a tear when he told of his humble birth in a manager; a child of an African goat-herder, and an Irish-American virgin (sic).  How much of this bovine waste material will the U.S. citizens tolerate before they understand that Obama is an empty suit?  He reads a speech fairly well.  He speaks his one language, English reasonably well for a Harvard student; however, when asked a question that must be answered extemporaneously he appears to be a stumbling, bumbling sycophant.  As such an experienced world traveler (sic) I fully expected Lord Obama to read his speech in German.  After all he is embarrassed by we Americans who don't speak more world languages.  He wants us to be at least bi-lingual.  I will agree to study more languages than the ones I speak if Obama will stress that more of "his" people become lingual.  Ebonics, although the language of Oakland, California and many other locations in the U.S. is Not acceptable English.

Candidate Obama has no experience, no vision and worst of all no clue of the world politic.  He is as naive as a little schoolboy on his first day in school.  He constantly takes the wrong position on every political issue, to whit:  pro-abortion, no off-shore drilling, no nuclear power plants, no new gasoline refineries, no fuel efficient alternate fuel automobiles, higher taxes across the board, especially on the hard-working middle class, small business owners, and the financially successful, universal health care (including for illegal aliens), amnesty for illegal aliens, welfare for illegal aliens, social security for illegal aliens, pro-homosexual marriage, racial preference (affirmative action) for blacks (other minorities are not mentioned),  larger Federal Government control in every aspect of U.S. life, and gun control.  Add suppression of freedom of religion, suppression of free speech, political socialist "brain-washing" of our children and grandchildren, government sponsored political correctness and emphasis on teaching white guilt.

Most importantly, he has done more in one year to set back race relations in America than the Ku Klux Klan and all the other white supremacist groups combined.  He and his socialist, racist and subversive associates, i.e. Farrakhan, Wright, et.al. have a plan to "take America back!"  They want to install a leftist agenda that will demand total allegiance to the new Obama state.  "Baby" Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama has no rational political platform, no core beliefs, no positive plan for America in the future, no experience, no strong religious belief (although he has a strong empathy for Muslims), and he has a strong elitist distaste for "fly-over" country Americans and their valued traditions.

Hopefully all those so called "red-necks" and family oriented, flag waving, gun clinging, Jesus loving, apple pie eating citizens that Obama and his "Posse" despise will flock to the polls in November and save America from this current and future danger.  Vote wisely.  God bless America.

Barry Barrack Hussein Obama And The Promise Of Change

The self-proclaimed Black Messiah has flown under the radar on his magic carpet with the promise of change.  And now every day his supporters are seeing that he is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing, ambitious, socially liberal politician, nothing more.  He changes his political position depending on whom the audience is, and what he and his handlers think the potential voters want to hear.

In a developed society that has evolved over many years like the United States the society is so large and complicated that a single philosophy and a single mind does not have a chance to effect positive change.  The United States has developed over many generations.  The country is a vast and extremely complex government that is constantly being molded by its citizens generation after generation.  It is not like a machine that can be redesigned and rebuilt every political season.

The U.S. government is made up of innumerable choices and decisions, laws, judgments and it adapts to constant changes.  Its parts can not be moved and replaced at will like that of a machine.  No small group of people like the Obama camp can wipe out generations of U.S. structure, and developed society and replace it with anything that would be positive and adequate for all its citizens.

Change in the U.S. comes about as organic change from within not from an overnight revolution.  It is change effected by the people not by political rhetoric.  Obama is like a voice crying in the wilderness with his Marxist plan for a social America.  Idealists are drawn to him like sheep to the slaughter.  They have no original thought, nor concept of government and how it works.  They get frustrated with the old and just want something "new and improved" regardless if the change takes them into darkness and confusion. Each American generation needs to see themselves as owning the assets of our society.  They are the care-takers who have inherited a treasure from the past.  It is their duty to protect the country and pass it on to their children, enhanced if possible, but not in anyway depleted or broken.

Human beings are imperfect creatures, filled with weakness and sometimes ignorance.  Therefore, the idea that any society can be perfect is a false premise.  The aims of idealists are unattainable.  They are dreamers who have no grasp of reality and practicality.  Governments have to relate to people as they are: extremely unequal in talent, ambition and initiative yet filled with both good and evil.

Governments thrive under the leadership of pragmatic, practical men who are used to being responsible for others in their day-to-day existence.  The United States president should not be a dreamer, not a slick and clever theoretician.  It is not self-proclaimed brilliance that is needed in America.  What is needed is a strong steady character, a sound understanding of people, a strong grasp of reality, combined with great experience and common sense.  This combination is found in John McCain.

He understands that change should be a gradual societal evolution, combining select strands of the past out of which our traditions have been nurtured, that are then carefully woven into the fabric of the future.  John McCain understands there should be a cautious attitude toward change, not a reckless, mindless change just for the sake of change, especially when the change proposed is based on Marxism.  Marxism fails everywhere it is tried.  Reject this reckless, dangerous plan, and the self-proclaimed Messiah who espouses it.

God bless America.  Vote wisely.

Mr. Veritas

One who WON'T fly a flag ourside his home will be Barry "Barrack" Hussein OBAMA aka the Black Messiah.  He has stated that America got what we deserve on September 11 for our past sins!  And that we should understand where the Muslims are "coming from."  This empty suit and total zero wants to be president????????????????   VOTE FOR THE HERO NOT THE ZERO.

From the Marine Corps League:

THE PROGRAM:

On Thursday, September 11th, 2008, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States . Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this seventh anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies.

We do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared.

Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds

Action Plan:

So, here's what we need you to do ...

(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don't
be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on
9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America !

Buchanan to Obama

by Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.?

Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.

This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard adnauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

Obama's 'Not Exactly’s

1.) Selma got me born...

NOT EXACTLY: your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

(Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) My Father Was A Goat Herder . . .

NOT EXACTLY: he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) My Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter . . .

NOT EXACTLY: he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom . . .

NOT EXACTLY: your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians' homes as well as men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took refuge. Obama supported his cousin before the election process here started. (Google 'Obama and Odinga')

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian . . ..

NOT EXACTLY: she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM according to her own interviews. Christianity would not have supported her being one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili . . .

NOT EXACTLY: your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side, and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.

While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family were mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....

February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago:

'Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to

whitewash troubling facts.'

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian . . .

NOT EXACTLY: not one former teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I lived In Indonesia, I have more foreign experience . . .

NOT EXACTLY: you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and could not speak the language.

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs . . .

NOT EXACTLY: except for Africa and the Middle East, you have never been anywhere else on the planet and have NO experience with our closest allies. (Except for the most recent junket of course.)

NOT EXACTLY: you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

18.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer . . .

NOT EXACTLY: you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

19.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill . . .

NOT EXACTLY: you didn't write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.

20.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass . . .

NOT EXACTLY: it took just 14 days from start to finish.

21.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill . . .

NOT EXACTLY: your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation -- mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

Ponder This for A Moment

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.  The first six the economy was fine.

A little over one year ago :

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%

4) the DOW JONES  hit a record high . . . . 14,000 +

5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations o'seas, etc. 

But . . .Americans wanted  'CHANGE'! 

In 2006, a Democratic Congress was voted in and we got your 'CHANGE' all right ! 

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted

2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing ! 

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)

4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices are still dropping.

5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

6) At present, the DOW is probing another low . . . .11,300   and $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL

FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! 

IN 2006, AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!   AND WE SURE GOT IT! 

The DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, OBAMA, is described by the polls saying he's gonna be ' THE MAN' and really give us some more change! 

JUST HOW MUCH MORE'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND WITH THESE NUTS?

33 Senators Voted Against English as America's Official Language on June 6, 2007.

On Wed. 6 June 2007, Colonel Harry Riley, USA, Ret. wrote:

Senators:

Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348.... to make English America's official language is astounding.

On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock, character and principles of America, I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.

I don't much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you're black, white, or some other color...male or female......Democrat, Republican or Independent....... But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America and Vote against English as the official language of the United States.

Your vote reflects Betrayal. Political Surrender. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator...impeachment...

Recall........Or other appropriate action is warranted, or worse.

Four of you voting against English as America's Official Language are Presidential

Candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama.

Four Senators vying to lead America, but won't, or don't, have the courage to cast a vote

in favor of English as America's Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as 'political Hacks'..... Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.

If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally 'rock you out of your socks'......... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn't about America… it is about self-serving politics......despicable at best. It has been said: 'Never Argue with an idiot...he'll drag you down to his level!'

PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID:

'Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, quickly tried and

hanged!!!'

Canada & America Need A Leader Like This!

Prime Minister John Howard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law  were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.  

Quote:  

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.  

Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.  Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles,  

founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.  

It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home,  

because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why.  All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.  But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our  

Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American and Canadian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving--see below and you will see why:

Irena Sendler

There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.  She had an 'ulterior motive' ...  She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids.) She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.  The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.  During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.  She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely.  Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.  After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family.  Most of course had been gassed.  Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. 

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was not selected.

The political "dog and pony" show has now officially begun as Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama, the titular head of the American Communist Party, commonly known as the Democratic Party "follow" him into the White House.  The "Black Messiah" is now the liberal leader of Amerika, (sic) and his platform, such as it is, has become more well known despite the liberal plan to sneak it forward.

For those "Obamamaniacs" enthralled by the magnificence of Obama, let me help you to understand his plan to "change" America as we know it, and how his plan for "change" will result in a new form of American Slavery.  Obama is for:

• Higher taxes across the board
• Redistribution of Wealth
• Increased welfare for the unproductive
• Tax-payer funded "free" Health Care
• Higher gasoline taxes ergo $10 a gallon gasoline
• No off-shore, or further exploration for oil
• No additional gasoline refineries
• Total capitulation with OPEC
• Tax-payer funded and Algore (sic) led "global-warming" (sic) programs
• Tax-payer funded socialist "free" education
• Liberal indoctrination (brain-washing) of students
• Increase of tax-payer funded minimum wage
• Government control of small business owners
• Downsizing of our military
• Destruction of our Nuclear arsenal
• Reduction of the U.S. as the world's only Super Power
• A "Commander-in-Chief" with no military knowledge nor experience who basically "hates" the military
• Reduced military research & development
• Surrender to Muslim world terrorists (Iraq pullout)
• U.S. invasion of Darfur, Africa
• Diplomatic break and possible invasion of Pakistan in favor of Iran
• Capitulation with Hamas, and Muslim nations over Israel
• Increased tax-payer funding to African dictators
• Increased government approved illegal alien influx
• Personal talks with Iran, North Korea, and Cuba without pre-conditions
• Government takeover of major U.S. businesses
• Supreme Court rulings to allow terrorists U.S. legal rights, and ban on privately owned guns
• Appointment of radical, liberal-thinking, activist lawyers to the Supreme Court
• Increase of race-based "hate" crimes
• End of Freedom of Speech in the U.S.

This is only the beginning of the changes Obama and his puppet-master liberal Democrats have planned for our growing "Idiocracy."  The plan is to socialize Amerika (sic) and have Big Brother Government replace the rights and freedoms we used to enjoy under our dying Republic with Communist Manifesto principles that have failed around the world whenever they have been tried.

For all the Obamaphiliacs who can't wait to plunge our country into a Hegelian, Marxist and Muslim controlled country, you are facing the New American Slavery, and all the many fabrics and colors of our nation well be the new "slaves."  How ironic that many with their "eyes wide shut" will pull the lever in November that will seal our fate.  God Bless America.  Wake up, and vote wisely!

The U.S. is the third largest oil producing country in the world.  Ask yourself how valid the oil "crisis" actually is.  By the way the top two producers are Saudi Arabia and Russia.  Our buddy to the North, Canada is number 7.

We buy from OPEC nations including Mexico and Argentina to protect our supply and to subsidize, "in tribute money" foreign governments, some of which are ruled by dictators.  Much of our oil is also sold to other countries such as Japan for mega-bucks. 

Imagine how much oil we could produce if all existing wells were uncapped and Congress would "allow" us to drill new ones in Alaska, Montana, Utah, Oklahoma, offshore on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf shores.

Gasoline prices in America should be no more than $1.80 a gallon now, and the oil companies would still be raking in the profit from foreign sales of U.S. oil.  If the Black Messiah, Obama is elected by the idiots in this country he will tax oil companies even more and they will pass the tax on to the consumer.

Look for gas prices to top $7 a gallon soon after the first of next year.  Also, no new oil refineries have been built in the U.S. in over 25 years because of liberals.  Speculators, investors, many of whom are elected federal officials, and oil companies are raking the $$$$$$$ in while the American consumer suffers.

Our gas crisis in America is caused more from the Methane emissions produced by our elected officials than from a lack of oil.

Some of us lived World War II history, others were taught about it, until the liberal social engineers who rule our schools rewrote the education plan.  Now history, geography, economics, government, mathematics, etc. are given short-shrift so that Marxism, and the new communism, "Environmentalism" can be emphasized.

Perfectly good words are being restricted for children, or the meanings have been changed.  I remember when gay meant happy.  Now that is has another meaning.  I am always tempted to say: "Oh, you are gay?  But are you happy?" 

Children are being taught to lose so as not to hurt someone else's feelings.  They are taught that a well developed "I" is not as important as the "we." Independence is being vilified and replaced with it "takes a village!"

They are being dumbed-down to the point that we are raising a generation of mind-numbed socialists who actually believe that they serve the Government, rather than the Government exists to serve them.

If the socialization of our children and grandchildren continues unabated we will follow Barry Barrack Hussein Obama and his liberal Democrat political hacks into a new Amerikan (sic) communism where Big Brother Government rules every aspect of our life. 

Vote wisely.  God bless America.

Thoughts Of Homer Hickman

Homer Hickam made an interesting comment on TV .  In case you don't know who he is, Homer was a poor West Va miner's son who worked his way up to being an employee/scientist for NASA. He wrote a book called 'Rocket Boy' which was later made into a great movie called 'October Sky.'

On Fox News, he was interviewed and said this, about the one-shot shoot down Feb. 20, 2008, of the crippled satellite: 'If this country's head was on straight, they would be holding a ticker tape parade for the Crew of the Cruiser, USS Lake Erie...'

'This one rocket firing boost ed ou r National defense 100 fold . N Korea, Iran, China, Russia, all know now that we have a safety net that can accurately stop their incoming missiles even if they are out of the earth's atmosphere.'

'Of course, that was the plan all along, and it was a dandy plan. I just hope that the next person in the White House doesn't scrap the system and begin baking cookies for the enemy.'

If the wrong person wins they may do just that, and that makes me a little nervous.'

'At any rate, Kudos to the Officers & Crew of the USS Lake Erie. WELL DONE, BLUE JACKETS!!'

Jack S. Shipley, USN


Funny, just last week Obama reiterated how when he's PTUS he will stop all missile technology and push for nuclear disarmament. If he were president now, we wouldn't even have been able to shoot that satellite down AND show the world that we CAN protect ourselves and will do so if the need arises.

Obama doesn't want the rest of the world threatened by the creepy US of A.

Something to run through the think-0-matic before you vote.

I am constantly amazed at how idiotic some in our nation are.  I have actually heard citizens who claim to be conservative say they will vote for Obama rather than for McCain because he McCain is not conservative enough for them!

How amazingly STUPID is that?  They will vote for an inexperienced, vapid, vacant charlatan, who is of questionable religious beliefs, has demonstrated racial bias toward whites, a tendency toward leftist radicalism, a friend of Muslims and the Nation of Islam, and has no evident experience to qualify him for the presidency, rather than vote for a true American hero who has more positive traits and experience than negative ones.  He is imminently qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.

Barry Barrack Hussein Obama's platform is out of the Communist Manifesto, to whit:  Big Government, higher taxes and equalization of wealth, nationalism of big business, universal tax-payer funded health care, increased welfare, restriction of free-speech, decrease in military efficiency and capability, elimination of military research and development, increased abortion on demand, restriction of ability to buy and bear arms, elimination of "In God Trust" on all currency (this has already started under the Democrat Congress and Senate), Black Theology radicalism added to educational courses (brain-washing of our children and grandchildren), and other liberal programs yet unnamed.

Anyone who stays home, or votes liberal in this election only contributes to our "Idiocracy" and the fall of the once great American Republic.  Communism fails whenever it is tried, and it leaves behind a devastated country filled with a depressed populace who wander around lost.  Immigrants flock to the U.S. to get away from rampant socialism/communism, and now under Barrack and the liberal majority we face a dim future ruled by a Big Brother Government. 

When faced with what one perceives to be two evils, always vote for the least of them.  Vote John McCain.  Save the nation.  God bless America.

Mr. Veritas

John McCain's Sons

Talk about putting your most valuable where your mouth is!  Apparently this was not 'newsworthy' enough for the media to comment about.  Can either of the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this? ... Just a question for each of us to seek an answer, and not a statement.

You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking.  There were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read about, and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire.

One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers - - soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.

Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army First Lieutenant killed by an ambush .. a roadside bomb.

No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face similar perils.  'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them as they were coming to meet with a family that ......'
Ms. Flanagan recalled, choking up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.

Mr. McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability to Iraq.  What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's New Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.

Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the  Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower with a son at war.

I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to others who will pass it on. We hear so much inflated trash out there.  How about a simple act of kindness ... and dedication to others placed above oneself?

Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American Armed Services?

This is for all you Barack voters.

From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope:
'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!

The Black Messiah

Barry Barrack Hussein Obama is the presumptive Democrat nominee for president, and leftists, Muslims, communists and social liberals around the world can now celebrate.  If elected Mr. Obama will be the most liberal President of the United States since Jimmy Carter.  And what a presidential disaster Jimmy Carter was, and is!

If elected, Obama will lead this nation toward a Big Government socialist state.  He is for: Big Government, Nationalized Health Care, higher taxes on the middle class and big business, increased welfare, increased affirmative action, and countless social welfare programs that will drain funds from the productive to support the non-productive in our society.  Every platform plank he describes will cost the tax-payers of this great nation more in unfair, and ill-used taxes.

He wants to bring change to America.  The major change that is needed is the death of liberalism  So far the change he has effected as candidate Obama is an increase in black racism, white hatred, religious vitriol, increase is radicalism and a threat to freedom of speech.  Can the U.S. survive the "change" that is to come in an Obama administration?

Barry Barrack Hussein Obama claims to be qualified for the presidency and he wants to bring change to Washington, D. C.  Can anyone state factually anything Obama has done since he was an activist in Chicago?  Can anyone prove any change to Illinois or for that matter Chicago since Obama has been in politics? 

Has Obama reduced lawlessness in Chicago's South-side.  Has he sponsored any law to reduce black on black crime in Illinois, or prosecute out-of-control gang violence in Chicago?  Has he done anything to protect the elderly, young, rich, poor, and innocent from abuse on the streets of cities in Illinois?

The answer is a resounding NO!  If he can not change Illinois how can he change anything in the 60 states he believes make up the United States?  Any honest, thinking, sober, astute person of any political party whose head is not firmly jammed up their anal cavity must understand that Obama can't change America in any positive way.  He has no accomplishments, no experience and no vision.  Wake up America.  Vote wisely.  God bless America in this time of need!

The following email is currently making the rounds:

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegi ance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Editorial Note: A little more research brought forth more comments on the subject:

Although Roosevelt did not hold public office again after leaving the presidency in 1909 (his efforts to regain the White House as a third party candidate in 1912 proving unsuccessful), he remained active in the public political sphere; in the waning years of his life, as World War I raged in Europe and America entered the conflict on the side of the Allies, he frequently spoke of his belief that immigrants taking up residence in the U.S. should assimilate into American society as quickly as possible, learn the English language, eschew hyphenated national identities (e.g., "Italian-American") and declare their primary national allegiance to the United States of America.

On 1 February 1916, for example, Roosevelt advocated measures for strengthening and ensuring the "loyalty" of American immigrants:

Theodore Roosevelt, speaking at a luncheon given yesterday by Mrs. Vincent Astor for the National Americanization Committee in the Astor Court Building, declared that one of the reasons why many German-Americans have shown greater love for their native land that for their adopted country is that the German system demands greater loyalty than is demanded in this country, and a greater contribution to the common welfare. "And all of you know I am free from a taint of neutrality," he added, "so I can say this without suspicion."

The encouragement of better housing conditions and a compulsion to learn the English language, Colonel Roosevelt said, would help the process of Americanization.

"We cannot make the Americanization movement a success," Colonel Roosevelt said, "unless we approach it from the economic standpoint. It is true that governmentally Germany is an autocracy. But there has been a great deal more industrial freedom there than many of our old industrial communities. The German Government says we expect you to work out good results, to get together with the laborer, and yourselves decide what you are going to pay to the doctors who are to pass upon the health of the employes, and the amount of damages any employee merits. The Government insists upon a great amount of self-government by the people themselves.

"I feel that by insistence upon proper housing conditions we shall indirectly approach this. I want to see the immigrant know that he has got to spend a certain amount of his money in decent housing; that he will not be allowed to live on $2.50 per month board basis.

"Let us say to the immigrant not that we hope he will learn English, but that he has got to learn it. Let the immigrant who does not learn it go back. He has got to consider the interest of the United States or he should not stay here. He must be made to see that his opportunities in this country depend upon his knowing English and observing American standards. The employer cannot be permitted to regard him only as an industrial asset.

"We must in every way possible encourage the immigrant to rise, help him up, give him a chance to help himself. If we try to carry him he may well prove not well worth carrying. We must in turn insist upon his showing the same standard of fealty to this country and to join with us in raising the level of our common American citizenship.

"If I could I would have the kind of restriction which would not allow any immigrant to come here unless I was content that his grandchildren would be fellow-citizens of my grandchildren. They will not be so if he lives in a boarding house at $2.50 per month with ten other boarders and contracts tuberculosis and contributes to the next generation a body of citizens inferior not only morally and spiritually but also physically."¹

A few months later, Roosevelt expanded on this theme in a series of Memorial Day speeches he delivered in St. Louis:

Moral treason to the United States was charged by Mr. Roosevelt, in an address delivered before the City Club, against German-Americans who seek to make their governmental representatives act in the interests of Germany rather than this country. He characterized the German-American Alliance as "an anti-American alliance," but added that he believed that its members "not only do not represent but scandalously misrepresent" the great majority of real Americans of German origin.

Using the motto "America for Americans" for all Americans, whether they were born here or abroad, the former President declared that "the salvation of our people lies in having a nationalized and unified America, ready for the tremendous tasks of both war and peace."

"I appeal to all our citizens," the colonel said, "no matter from what land their forefathers came, to keep this ever in mind, and to shun with scorn and contempt the sinister intriguers and mischiefmakers who would seek to divide them along lines of creed, or birthplace or of national origin."

Col. Roosevelt said he came to St. Louis to speak on Americanism — to speak of and condemn the use of the hyphen "whenever it represents an effort to form political parties along racial lines or to bring pressure to bear on parties and politicians, not for American purposes, but in the interest of some group of voters of a certain national origin or of the country from which they or their fathers came."

He was equally against the native American of the wrong kind and for the immigrant of the right kind, the former President declared, but the immigrant who did not become in good faith an American "is out of place" in the United States. He said each nation should be judged by its conduct and that the United States should oppose encroachment on its own rights, whether Germany, England, France or Russia be guilty of misconduct.

"The effort to keep our citizenship divided against itself," the colonel continued, "by the use of the hyphen and along the lines of national origin is certain to a breed of spirit of bitterness and prejudice and dislike between great bodies of our citizens. If some citizens band together as German-Americans or Irish-Americans, then after a while others are certain to band together as English-Americans or Scandinavian-Americans, and every such banding together, every attempt to make for political purposes a German-American alliance or a Scandinavian-American alliance, means down at the bottom an effort against the interest of straight-out American citizenship, an effort to bring into our nation the bitter Old World rivalries and jealousies and hatreds."²

In a Fourth of July speech in 1917, Roosevelt urged the adoption of linguistic uniformity, including a requirement that all foreign-language newspapers published in the U.S. should also include English translations:

Touching on the matter of language, Col. Roosevelt declared that "We must have in this country but one flag, and for the speech of the people but one language, the English language. During the present war all newspapers published in German, or in the speech of any of our foes, should be required to publish, side by side with the foreign text, columns in English containing the exact translation of everything said in the foreign language. Ultimately this should be done with all newspapers published in foreign languages in this country."³

Likewise, on 27 May 1918, Roosevelt urged in a speech at Des Moines, Iowa, that English be the sole language of instruction used in American schools:

English as the sole language for schools, newspapers and other usage in this country was urged by Theodore Roosevelt in an address here tonight under the direction of the National Security League.

[...]

In voicing his approval of the recent proclamation by Gov. Harding, ordering that English be the only medium of instruction in public or private schools in Iowa, Col. Roosevelt said:

"This is a nation — not a polyglot boarding house. There is not room in the country for any 50-50 American, nor can there be but one loyalty — to the Stars and Stripes."⁴

The comments quoted at this head of the page are more in the same vein; excerpts not from (as claimed in the accompanying text) a statement made by Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 (while he was still President), but from a letter written shortly before his death in January 1919, just a few months after the armistice that ended the fighting in World War I:

NEW YORK, Jan. 6. — What was the last public statement by Col. Roosevelt was read last night at an "All-American concert" here under the auspices of the American Defense society, of which he was honorary president.

"I cannot be with you and so all I can do is to wish you Godspeed," it read. "There may be no sagging back in the fight for Americanism merely because the war is over.

"There are plenty of persons who have already made the assertion that they believe the American people have a short memory and that they intend to revive all the foreign associations which more directly interfere with the complete Americanization of our people. Our principle in this matter should be absolutely simple.

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.

"If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American.

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul [sic] loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."⁵

'The Axis of Idiots

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.

Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S.S. Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.

John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's ass. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.

Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.

Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated, drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.

American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.

You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.

Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform.

You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS.

America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, a betting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets.

Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.

Semper Fi,

Free Speech According TO Obama

The citizens of our growing "Idiocracy" have been issued a directive from the "Supreme Leader" Barry Barrack Hussein Obama.  It contains the new rules for freedom of speech in the United States.  Effective immediately citizens may not talk about the following:

Comrade Obama's ears, mixed blood, full name, religion, religious guru Rev. Wright, indicted friends, terrorist friends, elitist friends, Marxist friends, white grandmother who he threw under the bus, where his mother and father's marriage certificate is, (there seems to a question concerning whether they were actually married), his Indonesian step-father, and half-sister, qualifications to be president, lack of any grasp of American foreign policy, belief that there are 57 states that he visited, 1 he never made it to, and Alaska and Hawaii he was not "allowed" to campaign in, (60?)political achievements (?), no hand over heart during the National Anthem, refusal until this week to wear an American Flag lapel pin, Muslim sympathy, where his campaign money really comes from, his wife who hates America, and is a racist and the bitterest millionaire in America, and any other question he doesn't know the answer to, or refuses to answer. 

Comrade Obama would like everyone he meets from now on to call him Mister President, or preferably Messiah as a sign of respect for his birth in a manger.  He would like all of his faithful followers to cry during his indoctrination sermons, cheer on cue from his handlers, and faint as appropriate when cameras from "his" media operatives are documenting his splendor.

Comrade Obama would like all to know that if you disagree with his day-to-day policy equivocations you are a racist.  If you don't like his anti-American views, you are a racist.  If you don't like his anti-religious views, you are a racist.  If you don't like his anti-gun views, you are a racist.  If you don't like his lack of experience, you are a racist.  If you don't like how cocky he is, you are a racist.  If you don't like his love for terrorists, you are a racist.  If you claim that Affirmative Action gave he and his wife preferential access to education and job opportunities, you are a racist.  If you don't like his extremely naive views, you are a racist.  If you don't plan to vote for him because he is a Marxist, and unqualified for the presidency, you are a racist.  If you don't believe he is the Messiah, you are a racist.  And on top of that all of you gun clinging, religious zealots, who are depressed in middle America, Comrade Obama would like you to raise yourselves out of your low-class existence and walk into the "light" with him as he leads this nation out of the past and into the future. 

Welcome to change in America, Obama style.  Freedom of speech will soon be dead in our "Idiocracy!"  God bless America.  Vote wisely.

Mr. Veritas

Thought you had heard it all? not quite!!

Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the  American people, you're so stupid that we're going to keep doing this until  we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is  saying. Read below...............

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. You aren't going to believe this.  Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement funds, 401Ks and Mutual Funds!)Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants  and other unemployed Minorities!  Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is  frightening. She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing  income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.'When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal  immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of  unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long  ways to guarantee these people th e standard of living they would like to  have as 'Americans'.'

Having tired of the two potential Democrat candidates, and being concerned about the "liberal" Republican candidate I began recently concentrating on the potential first lady.  Of the three "waiting in the wings" who would be the best?  Lets consider Michelle Obama first.

Michelle Obama is considered by many to be an atheist regardless of how often she claims she sat in Reverend Wright's indoctrination center, mistakenly called a church.  She has been exposed to hate for America, hate for "whitey," and hate for the U.S. Government.  Ms. Obama has stated that this is the "first time in my adult life that I am proud to be an American" because her husband may be elected president.  She says that "America is a mean place."  She further states that she has been hurt by prejudice in America, and doesn't feel it is fair that she has to pay back her student loans..  She is the bitterest millionaire in the United States! 

The media have already crowned her the most exciting first lady since Jackie Kennedy, and her husband has not been elected yet.  She appears to me to have all the style and grace of a football fullback.  The way she "hulks" around the podiums with her rather effete looking husband lets me know who wears the pants in their relationship.  It seems though that the liberal media have already decided the election for Barry Barrach Hussein Obama before the citizens cast the first ballot, so Michelle Obama may be the first lady of hate and racism in America.  She may indeed "take America back," and get "her turn."

Secondly we have William Jefferson (Blythe) Clinton who will make history if his wife (in name only ?) is elected.  He is already the first "black president."  Now he may be the first male first lady.  How amazing is that?  He may be allowed to conduct tours of the white house, especially the "Oral (sic) Office, greet visitors and guests, bake cookies and "look pretty" for the cameras.  Imagine that picture if you dare!

Thirdly we have a rather quiet multi-millionaire first candidate who appears to be a picture of style, grace and genuine affection for her military-hero husband, and her country.  She appears fit, pretty and gracious.  If the dictionary had a definition-photo of a first lady, her picture might grace the page.  She also owns a beer franchise!  Wow!  Whats not to like?  She's rich, pretty and you could drink all the beer you want.  I'm voting for her to be first lady.  How about you?

Mr. Veritas

Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let's look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget.

At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed." In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich's predictions about England were gloomier: "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

In 1972, a report was written for the Club of Rome warning the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury and silver by 1985, tin by 1987 and petroleum, copper, lead and natural gas by 1992. Gordon Taylor, in his 1970 book "The Doomsday Book," said Americans were using 50 percent of the world's resources and "by 2000 they [Americans] will, if permitted, be using all of them." In 1975, the Environmental Fund took out full-page ads warning, "The World as we know it will likely be ruined by the year 2000."

Harvard University biologist George Wald in 1970 warned, "... civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." That was the same year that Sen. Gaylord Nelson warned, in Look Magazine, that by 1995 "... somewhere between 75 and 85 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

It's not just latter-day doomsayers who have been wrong; doomsayers have always been wrong. In 1885, the U.S. Geological Survey announced there was "little or no chance" of oil being discovered in California, and a few years later they said the same about Kansas and Texas. In 1939, the U.S. Department of the Interior said American oil supplies would last only another 13 years. In 1949, the Secretary of the Interior said the end of U.S. oil supplies was in sight. Having learned nothing from its earlier erroneous claims, in 1974 the U.S. Geological Survey advised us that the U.S. had only a 10-year supply of natural gas. The fact of the matter, according to the American Gas Association, there's a 1,000 to 2,500 year supply.

Here are my questions: In 1970, when environmentalists were making predictions of manmade global cooling and the threat of an ice age and millions of Americans starving to death, what kind of government policy should we have undertaken to prevent such a calamity? When Ehrlich predicted that England would not exist in the year 2000, what steps should the British Parliament have taken in 1970 to prevent such a dire outcome? In 1939, when the U.S. Department of the Interior warned that we only had oil supplies for another 13 years, what actions should President Roosevelt have taken? Finally, what makes us think that environmental alarmism is any more correct now that they have switched their tune to manmade global warming?

Here are a few facts: Over 95 percent of the greenhouse effect is the result of water vapor in Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's average temperature would be zero degrees Fahrenheit. Most climate change is a result of the orbital eccentricities of Earth and variations in the sun's output. On top of that, natural wetlands produce more greenhouse gas contributions annually than all human sources combined.

PERSONALITIES OF PAST PRESIDENTS QUITE INTERESTING.

The writer, Capt. Denny Keast, flies for UAL and flew many SAMs (Special Air Missions) for the White House.

I flew 4 Presidential support missions in the C-141 out of Dover AFB, DE.. Two for President Johnson and two for President Nixon.

Johnson was a first class jerk and on the two occasions I flew for him, if the Secret Service and their Liaison in the Pentagon hadn't intervened, we would have had to stay on the airplane for hours while he (Johnson) was off somewhere. Nixon never required that and the four (4) stops we made with him he was cordial to the Secret Service and to me and my crew.

We had a neighbor when I lived in DC who was part of the secret service presidential detail for many years. His stories of Kennedy and Johnson were the same as those I heard from the guys who flew the presidents' plane. Yes, Kennedy did have Marilyn Monroe flown in for secret 'dates,' and LBJ was a typical Texas 'good ole boy' womanizer. Nixon, Bush 41, and Carter never cheated on their wives. Clinton cheated, but couldn't match Kennedy or LBJ in style or variety.

The information below is accurate: The elder Bush and current president Bush make it a point to thank and take care of the air crews who fly them around. When the president flies, there are several planes that also go, one carries the armored limo, another the security detail, plus usually a press aircraft.

Both Bushes made it a point to stay home on holidays, so the Air Force and security people could have a day with their families.

Hillary Clinton was arrogant and orally abusive to her security detail. She forbade her daughter, Chelsea, from exchanging pleasantries with them. Sometimes Chelsea, miffed at her mother's obvious conceit and mean spiritedness, ignored her demands and exchanged pleasantries regardless, but never in her mother's presence. Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted, and lovely young lady. The consensus opinion was that Chelsea loved her Mom but did not like her. Hillary Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those who were charged to protect her life. Her security detail dutifully did their job, as professionals should, but they all loathed her and wanted to be on a different detail.

Hillary Clinton was despised by the Secret Service as a whole. Former President Bill Clinton was much more amiable than his wife. Often the Secret Service would cringe at the verbal attacks Hillary would use against her husband. They were embarrassed for his sake by the manner and frequency in which she verbally insulted him, sometimes in the presence of the Secret Service, and sometimes behind closed doors. Even behind closed doors Hillary Clinton would scream and holler so loudly that everyone could hear what she was saying. Many felt sorry for President Clinton and most wondered why he tolerated it instead of just divorcing his 'attack dog' wife. It was crystal clear that the Clintons neither liked nor respected each other and this was true long before the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Theirs was genuinely a 'marriage of convenience.'

Chelsea was much closer to her father than her mother, even after the Lewinsky scandal, which hurt her gravely. Bill Clinton did in fact have charisma, and occasionally would smile at or shake hands with his security detail. Still, he always displayed an obvious air of superiority towards them.

His security detail uniformly believed him to be disingenuous, false, and that he did nothing without a motive that in some way would enhance his image and political career. He was polite, but not kind. They did not particularly like him and nobody trusted him.

Al Gore was the male version of Hillary Clinton. They were friendlier toward each other than either of them were towards former President Clinton. They were not intimate, so please don't read that in. They were very close in a political way. Tipper Gore was generally nice and pleasant. She initially liked Hillary but soon after the election she had her 'pegged' and no longer liked her or associated with her except for events that were politically obligatory.

Al Gore was far more left wing than Bill Clinton. Al Gore resented Bill Clinton and thought he was too 'centrist.' He despised all Republicans. His hatred was bitter and this was long before he announced for the Presidency. This hatred was something that he and Hillary had in common. They often said as much, even in the presence of their security detail. Neither of them trusted Bill Clinton and, the Secret Service opined, neither of them even liked him.

Bill Clinton did have some good qualities, whereas Al Gore and Hillary had none, in the view of their security details.

Al Gore, like Hillary, was very rude and arrogant toward his security detail. He was extremely unappreciative and would not hesitate to scold them in the presence of their peers for minor details over which they had no control. Al Gore also looked down on them, as they finally observed and learned with certainty on one occasion. Al got angry at his offspring and pointed at his security detail and said, 'Do you want to grow up and be like them?'

Word of this insult by the former Vice-President quickly spread and he became as disliked by the Secret Service as Hillary. Most of them prayed Al Gore would not be elected President, and they really did have private celebrations in a few of their homes after President Bush won. This was not necessarily to celebrate President Bush's election, but to celebrate Al Gore's defeat.

Everyone in the Secret Service wants to be on First Lady Laura Bush's detail. Without exception, they concede that she is perhaps the nicest and most kind person they have ever had the privilege of serving. Where Hillary patently refused to allow her picture to be taken with her security detail, Laura Bush doesn't even have to be asked, she offers. She doesn't just shake their hand and say, 'Thank you.' Very often, she will give members of her detail a kindhearted hug to express her appreciation. There is nothing false about her. This is her genuine nature. Her security detail considers her to be a 'breath of fresh air.' They joke that comparing Laura Bush with Hillary Clinton is like comparing 'Mother Teresa' with the 'Wicked Witch of the North.'

Likewise, the Secret Service considers President Bush to be a gem of a man to work for. He always treats them with genuine respect and he always trusts and listens to their expert advice. They really like the Crawford, Texas detail. Every time the president goes to Crawford he has a B-B-Q for his security detail and he helps serve their meals. He sits with them, eats with them, and talks with them. He knows each of them by their first name, and calls them by their first name as a show of affection. He always asks about their family, the names of which he always remembers. They believe that he is deeply

and genuinely appreciative of their service. They could not like, love, or respect anyone more than President Bush. Most of them did not know they would feel this way, until they had an opportunity to work for him and learn that his manner was genuine and consistent. It has never changed since he began his Presidency. He always treats them with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion.

Please pas s this on. It is important for Americans to have a true inside understanding of their President. And also the woman who is currently a candidate for president.

Additions to Webster's Dictionary

Now that Barry Barrack Hussein Obama closing in on the Democrat Party nomination, and he has made race an issue, many new words should be added to Webster's Dictionary.

I am sure that as the campaign rages on many new terms will arise.  Please feel free to add your own Obamawords to the list.  Vote wisely.  God bless the USA.

Mr. Veritas

Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:


CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)

OBAMA
28%

CLINTON
24%

How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.


DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)


OBAMA
39.6%

CLINTON
39.6%

How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton become president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit."


INCOME TAX

MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

CLINTON
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.


INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
0%
(No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
keep the inheritance tax

CLINTON
keep the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

Can you afford Clinton or Obama?

American Idol held a charitable "American Idol Gives Back" event last week to raise money primarily for black African countries and some U.S. charities.  This week President Bush authorized more money, approximately $200 million added to the billions already forwarded to black African countries.  Many in America are filled with pride about how wonderful we are.

When we see the poor black children, bloated from hunger, flies buzzing around their poor little mucus and tear streaked faces, we are shocked and dramatically moved.  Some of us reach for the phone and donate immediately.  After our pledge, we are satisfied that we have done the right thing and we feel good about what we have contributed to change the world.  We don't take the time to investigate where the money goes, nor do we think about what we have just done.

Charity is a wonderful part of our American culture.  Americans give generously to countries around the world.  But few stop to think about where the money goes.  Most of the money given for African aid goes to the Muslim, or communist dictators who rule most black African countries.  The money that is donated rarely trickles down to the poor children shown on television. 

The African leaders enrich themselves with our charitable donations, and the tax money our government sends them.  They buy arms and munitions, and use them to kill, mutilate and intimidate their own people.  Some of the money that goes to Muslim countries is used to buy weapons that are used to kill Americans.  Our largess does not just apply to Africa.  America pays "tribute" to many countries, many of whom hate us. Their leaders also enrich themselves, and threaten us in the best Marxist tradition.

Obama and Clinton, as college trained Marxists often refer to the global "village', and "giving back,'  They prey on the American conscience, and liberal taught guilt to make one feel bad about being successful.  They try to make one feel an obligation to "feed the world."  They pledge more hard-earned tax dollars shouldered by the American middle class to support the world's hungry.  However, they rarely pledge to help a poor West Virginian family, or a Mississippi family, or a mid-western family, or any needy family working hard to survive in this great country,  If elected Clinton and Obama will increase our taxes, and also dramatically increase our "tribute" sent abroad, especially to African nations. 

The poor American families mentioned above don't want welfare, and many of them refuse to take welfare.  They just want a fair chance.  They want a small responsible government which understands that their prime objective is to protect Americans first and then give its citizens the opportunity to work hard and become successful without government interference.  They want a strong economy.  They want a competent school system with qualified, dedicated teachers who have an academic agenda, not a liberal "hate God", "hate America' agenda.  Also, they want the freedom to worship as they please without being condemned for their faith by elected Marxists.

Americans want to keep more of the money they earn, and not have to support the non-productive in this or any other country.  Charity begins at home.  Don't be fooled by liberal rhetoric.  We don't have to feed the world by sending our tax money, or charitable donations abroad.  We have a responsibility to take care of America first.

If one must feed the world, faith-based charities that one trusts may be the best way.  Explore the options.  Think about where your money is going, and what it will be used for.  Don't fall prey to emotion.  Use you brain and spend your hard-earned money wisely. 

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SYNOPSIS OF ISLAM AND HOW IT WORKS.
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. 
The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to 
agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to 'the 
reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get 
the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages 
source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country 
they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to 
anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped 
for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and 
disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street 
gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their 
percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) 
food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will 
increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- 
along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them 
to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of 
Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the 
entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness 
as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings). 
Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and 
threats (Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, 
sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and 
ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other 
religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a 
weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of 
Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then 
start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

" Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me 
against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family 
against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the 
tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, 
'The Haj'

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the 
Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. 
Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they 
exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Wise words from the “father” of the Republican Party

During this political season lets be reminded of these wise words.  

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

--Abraham Lincoln

Isn't it ironic that Barry Barrack Hussein Obama, the arbiter of change in America has done more in the last three months to push America back 50 years than any single event in recent history?  One is not allowed to use Obama's full name because as "'He Whose Name Can Not Be Spoken", one is branded racist if one does.

Also, if one challenges his relationships with his hate-monger former pastor, his radical, terrorist friends from the "Weather Underground", Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, Muslim supporters, and leftist groups throughout the world, one is also branded a racist.  If one questions why he recently "threw" his white grandmother "under the bus" by saying she is frightened whenever she has to walk past a group of black men, and that she called little Obama names when she was raising him, one is branded a racist.  He literally said that his grandmother is a "typical" white woman.  And he brands others as racists?  This is the woman who raised him when no black person in his African family would or could.

If one questions the idiotic statements issued by his wife, who hates America, about why she thinks this country enslaves she and "her" people, (I assume she means blacks), we are branded racists.  If one asks Obama to state what he actually believes in, not what his handlers tell him he believes in, one is branded a racist.

The Obama-maniacs are mesmerized by the media support, and the Nazi-type propaganda that surround this candidate.  Today, an Asian supporter was asked to give up her seat behind Obama so that more white people could be visible by the media.  The media and the Obama campaign do not want the general public to see that now primarily blacks are supporting Obama at his "indoctrination sessions",  The early white "throngs" have visibly thinned out.

Obama has divided this country into white and black.  Not since pre-1960 has the racial divide been this wide.  Non-blacks are now afraid to speak lest they offend blacks, and become branded as a racist.  Even a liberal icon Geraldine Ferraro has been branded a racist by the Obama-maniacs.  Little children are being taught in school not to speak openly about racial issues because of Obama-style politics.

Little Black Sambo, and Mark Twain have been banned in liberal bastions around the country.  Historical texts are being rewritten.  Any reference by the educated to tribal peoples, primitives, and simians must be whispered in hushed tones, while quickly checking over ones shoulder for the political correctness police.  Little children being innocently referred to as "little monkeys" regardless of race is now considered racist.  Will the name of the rock group "The Monkees" be banned next?

Freedom of speech has been erased from the American fabric by Obama and his media supporters.  Rather than become branded a racist, whites all over the country refuse to discuss racial issues openly.  Open dialog among different racial groups has been wiped out.  Former bi-racial work-mates, and friends have had relationships strained by the Obama machine and its message of intolerance. 

Is this what Obama means by change, and a new future in America?  If this is change, can the country stand the tension that this candidate has created?  Obama and his machine are ripping at the fabric of the United States.  His form of politics that pits one group of citizens against another may signal the death of the Republic as we once knew it.  His disdain for American tradition, sanctity of life, family structure, religious freedom, racial equality free from quotas, a strong military, and conservative values, is growing more evident every day.

His Marxist philosophy, and socialistic beliefs are expressed daily as he travels around the country "preaching" Big Government, National Health-care, redistribution of wealth, class-envy, race-envy, affirmative action, and other facets of his liberal agenda.  Obama for president?  Check his record as a senator.  He hasn't even proven he can do that job adequately,  Yet there are those among us who make up the growing "Idiocracy" who are becoming his willing dupes.

Think deeply.  Contemplate the negative changes Obama has already brought about in America.  Vote wisely.  God bless America in this time of need.

American myth number 1 is:  "All men are created equal"!  Thomas Jefferson and the other authors of the United States Constitution meant well, but did not understand that no man is created equal.  However, they should have equality "under the law."

Every human life is different, a unique individual who from birth is different.  This is not meant to be negative,  It is just a statement of fact.  Some are born handsome or pretty.  Some are born homely.  Some are born to be mesomorphic (super body).  Some are born to be ectomorphic (thin body) or endomorphic (large body).  Some are born with athletic prowess.  Some are born clumsy.  Some are born to be bright.  Some are born to be not so bright.  Some are aggressive.  Some are passive.

My point is that we are not equal, nor should we be except under the law.  We should have equal opportunity to achieve whatever our particular talents allow us to achieve.  We are not born winners' therefore, some of us need to understand we will not be always be number 1.  We have to find a way to adjust to who we are, not how we compare to someone else.  We don't need to lose in order to make someone else feel good, nor should we gloat when we discover that we win at most things we try. 

There should be no government law passed to appoint us a "protected species."  Nor should there ever be a quota to make sure we are hired based on anything other than our abilities.  The Federal Government in 1964 passed an act that was meant to assure equality in the workplace, however, it only placed Americans in categories.  We now have preferential treatment for many of our citizens based solely on race and gender not on their qualifications.  This attempt to make us all "equal" has separated us by category ever since.

This election cycle, we have a black candidate running against a woman, who are both running against "an old white man"!  Because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 there is no chance for true equality.  We don't have three candidates who are equal.  We have categories running against each other.  Isn't it time to re-evaluate the law that prohibits us from fair hiring based on qualifications?  Isn't is time to have honest dialog among different races and genders without the politically correct "police" hovering over us?  Isn't is time to be able to say what is actually on our mind rather than say the "wrong" thing that might be considered a "hate crime?"  Isn't it time to finally admit the truth?  We are not equal.  However, we are all special and precious, and the way our particular god, or Mother Nature, or whomever or whatever created us wanted us to be.

Isn't it time to accept that the greatness of America is that people from all over the planet can gather in one place, assimilate, learn to live with one another, and create the greatest civilization the world has ever known?  Do not vote for hate-mongers, America haters, dividers, and "victims," because divided we all lose.  United under a leader who understands love of country, family and personal faith, we are all winners.  We can finally be equal under the law, and celebrate our unique individuality.  The time for quotas is over.

Georg Hegel, a German philosopher lived from 1770 to 1831.  He developed the philosophy of "The Absolute".  Hegel saw reality as a continually changing condition that had as an ultimate goal self-recognition and self-understanding.  "Know thyself," as it were."  The essence of his philosophy is often reduced to the words Geist, which means between spirit and mind, and Zeit, which means time.  Combined they are often used today as ZeitGeist.

Because Geist is a German word, it is interpreted midway between spirit and mind.  It is more mental than English word spirit, and more spiritual than the English word mind.  For Hegel, Geist is the essence of being, the very stuff of existence.  Geist constitutes the historical process of reality and the development of self-awareness and self-knowledge.  It is a process that Hegel called the "Dialectical Process," or the "Dialectic."

The Dialectic is a method of analysis that is made up of three stages: Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis.  The initial situation is the thesis.  The reaction to the thesis is the antithesis, and the resolution of the antithesis is the synthesis.  But because the synthesis is a new situation it contains new conflicts so it begins a new process of thesis, antithesis and synthesis.  Therefore, the dialectical process is always evolving into further change outside of itself.  It is why everything, i.e., ideas, the arts, the sciences, the economy, politics and religion are constantly changing.  To Hegel, dialectical was the "Law Of Change."  It became known as "Absolute Idealism".

Hegel believed that because change is a product of historical forces, man is caught up in it; therefore, he has no power to direct it.  He is swept along in it.  Even in matters of individual creativity a person is enveloped in the Geist (spirit) of his Zeit (time).  I believe what Hegel meant was that even if man knows history, if he tried to duplicate a period in past history, he could not.  If a person tried to compose music like Haydn, or write plays like Shakespeare the work would not be authentic.  It would be a poor imitation no matter how gifted the person was.  You cannot just jump out of history.  You cannot be independent of the dialectical process.

Hegel believed that the only thing that could stop the dialectical process was a conflict-free society.  If this sounds familiar, think of the Liberal agenda in the United States and around the world.  Like Liberals, Hegel believed that "Man owes his entire existence to the State!"  Hegel conceived of a situation of an "organic society in which every individual is a harmoniously functioning part of the whole, freely serving the interests of a totality greater than himself".  "It Takes A Village?"  The Obamas and the Clintons, in league with their socialist adherents are followers of Georg Hegel and Karl Marx.

The way Marx becomes involved in the dialectical process is that he took over most of Hegel's philosophy but claimed that the subject of Zeitgeist was nothing mental or spiritual at all.  It was only material.  While Hegel combined absolute idealism with a belief in God, other followers believed in pantheism, still others believed in a religion-without-God.  The two camps were split into Right-wing Hegelians and Left-wing Hegelians.

Right-wing Hegelians led the German nationalism movement under Adolf Hitler, and Left-wing Hegelians led the Russian Revolution.  Hegel is: therefore, the intellectual grandfather of both Nazism and Communism.  As followers of Hegel, and the team of Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels, (Marx's benefactor for life), modern-day Socialists like Obama and Clinton want to "lead" this country into a socialistic state ruled by a Big-Brother Government.  But in their self-claimed brilliance, they are too blinded by a quest for power to see that a God-less country where man is subject to and owes his entire existence to the State, failure is not an option, IT IS A CERTAINTY!  Communism fails everywhere is tried.

"From each according to ones abilities.

To each according to ones needs!"

The quote above is the platform that Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton are running on.  To the amazement of many the liberal media and millions of others actually believe it is a reason to support Obama or Clinton.  I am not surprised that these messages of "It Takes A Village" and the "Robin Hood Syndrome" are working so well with those who FEEL rather than THINK.

"From each according to ones abilities.  To each according to ones needs" is a quote from a very famous man who is a mentor to both Obama and Clinton as well as most liberals in America and around the world.  The media love this long dead hero.  He is considered a giant among men and a philosophical genius.  Among millions of others, Jimmy Carter loves him.  Teddy-boy Kennedy loves him.  John Kerry loves him.  Al Gore loves him.  Obama loves him.  Hillary loves him, but thinking people have read him and for the most part have rejected his "teachings."

This hero to many has been responsible for untold misery, torture and death around the world.  He was a devoted atheist who despised those who believed in God.  He espouses taking from the productive and giving to the non-productive.  He supports punishing the successful and rewarding the failure.  He supports penalizing initiative and enabling laziness.  He gave Hillary the idea for "It Takes A Village," and Obama and Hillary the platform which includes Socialized health-care," increased taxes and other social programs that equalize the wealth In the United States.

If either of these candidates is elected, the United States will be joining many adherents around the globe who are guided by the writings of this mentor.  They include, among many others: Canada, U.K, Sweden, Norway, South America, Cuba, Russia, France, Greece, Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia.  In these socialized countries, the welfare rolls are huge, national health care contributes to long lines of ailing people, many of whom will die before they get the help they need.  The successful are forced to support a dying country filled with non-productive, uneducated and unmotivated citizens waiting in long lines to be fed, clothed, and paid by a Big Brother Government.

"From each according to ones abilities.  To each according to ones needs!"   How could these few words destroy one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen?  Ask those voters who will try to elect Obama or Hillary.  I doubt they even know who wrote these famous words.  They are under-educated, emotional, brain-washed, non-thinkers who want to know how you FEEL rather than what you THINK,

"From each according to ones abilities.

To each according to ones needs!"

Karl Marx

Liberalism is a terminal disease that can destroy this once great Republic.  Here is the short course on the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative that my wife and I discussed yesterday.  A Liberal always asks you how you FEEL.  A Conservative always asks you what you THINK.  Liberals are consumed with EMOTION.  A Conservative is always COGITATING.

He Whose Name Can Not Be Spoken

The new complaint to come out of the Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama camp is based on their outrage that some of the press are using his whole name.  It seems that now Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama and his "ghetto" wife Michelle are incensed that Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama's name is being used so often in the media. 

The term "ghetto" wife was coined by some in the black community in response to other blacks, including Al Sharpton, who claim Obama is not black enough to represent "real" black people.  Michelle is considered to be a "real" black woman; therefore, she qualifies for the title: "ghetto-wife". They do not want Barry "Barrack" Hussein Obama's name used anymore because they say it inflames racial discrimination, and religious prejudice.

Michelle also said during an interview yesterday that it instigates untrue assumptions.  She did not explain what assumptions she thought were being made though.  Barry and Michelle think they can intimidate the press and the people of the United States by claiming discrimination.  It is only a name, right?  What are she and Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama afraid of?

This objection of the use of Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama's name follows on the heels of a major endorsement from "Calypso Joe" Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Leaders in Muslim nations around the world, including Iran watch with interest to see how stupid Americans really are.

The liberal Clinton administration allowed the World Trade Center bombing to happen and go unpunished under the Clinton administration.  Clinton allowed Somalia to kill, decapitate, and sexually mutilate American soldiers without retaliation.  Liberals planted the seeds that led to 911, and the continued attacks around the world.  Fortunately, because of a conservative president, with great intestinal fortitude who followed Clinton, they did not go unpunished.

Now the liberal idiots who make up our Idiocracy want to elect the Muslim "Messiah" as the next president of the United States to "correct" (sic) the "failed" (sic) policies of the Bush administration.  Oprah has declared that it is now "our" turn (blacks) and as Michelle Obama has often stated: "we will take the country back!"  We, by implication, meaning not only liberals, but blacks.  What does our turn really mean?  What is the country taken back from?  What does change really mean?  One of my many concerns is will I have any change left in my pocket when my taxes go "through the roof' and free enterprise goes "down the tubes" under a Hillary Clinton or Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama administration?

Another more important concern is what will happen to the United States if we elect Barry "Barack" Hussein Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton both of whom will not "kill the bad guys" who seek to destroy our way of life.  I put this bluntly rather than in "polito-speak" so that everyone understands the Muslim terrorist threat is a "kill or be killed" scenario. Lest you think that Muslim terrorism is not a threat, here is a quote from the Qur'an which I read often.  It is from Alif Lam Mim in the opening portion of the second chapter of the Qur'an aka Koran:

"As for the unbelievers, alike it is to them

whether thou hast warned them or hast not warned them,

they do not believe.

allah (sic) has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing,

and on their eyes is a covering,

and there awaits them a mighty chastisement."

Simply put, all those who do not believe in allah (sic) whether you are Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Scientologists, Hindus, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists or any other belief other than Muslim (either of the two major sects, Sunni or Shi'a) you are the enemy and a mighty chastisement is coming.  Osama (one letter removed from Obama) wants at least 10 million Americans dead to begin with, and conversion to Islam or slavery for the rest.  Liberal female "Obama-maniacs" need to be fitted for Burkas as soon as possible.  There will be no choice of colors for those who love choice.

If one assumes that my opinion is racially based or rooted in prejudice let me say that yes I am prejudiced against stupidity and anyone who would destroy the American way of life, by threatening me, my children, grandchildren, and the decent, innocent, and often uninformed citizens of this great country. I was in the United States Marine Corps for 10 years before becoming a Federal Officer for 30 more years as an Intelligence Specialist, and Counterintelligence Program Manager in service of my country.  I proudly served in Vietnam, and have never felt one day of shame or guilt because of it.

Should America have a liberal president, male or female, during these critical times?  Should a suspected Muslim Messiah: "He Whose Name Can Not Be Spoken" be elected?  Study the facts.  Open your mind.  Vote wisely!

Here are some thoughts on Barry (Barack) Hussein Obama'a "ghetto-wife" (a title given her by liberal blacks) who put her foot firmly in her mouth a couple of days ago, and is now involved in "spinning" what she meant.  The "ghetto-wife" title is one that means she is not white, nor is she from a privileged background.  She is one "of the real (black) people."

For The First Time In My Adult Life I Am Proud To Be An American

The words in the title were spoken by Michelle Obama, wife of presidential candidate Barry (Barack) Hussein Obama.  Ms. Obama is finally proud to be an American after having experienced its bountiful gifts, the most important of which just might be freedom.  She is free to tell her fellow Americans that perhaps she is on the threshold of "taking the country back," and having her husband become the second (sic) black president of the United States (Bill Clinton was declared the first), and that after all these years of freedom, she can be proud at last to be an American.

Ms. Obama is a self proclaimed hyphenated "African American," a title I refuse to use because it does not recognize the non-black citizens who live on the CONTINENT of Africa.

Ms. Obama is apparently an educated woman so I am sure she knows that the "mother-country" of Africa is actually a CONTINENT not a country.  As such, Africa is made up of many countries some of which are not black. 

Further, having been raised in a "ghetto," and having lived in Africa during the 1970's I actually know first hand about much of Africa.  Perhaps Ms. Obama needs to visit the "country" (sic) of her ancestors and experience what life is like there.  Perhaps after a year or so, if she survives the civil wars, carnivorous animals, dictatorships, Muslim oppression, disease and pestilence she will gain an appreciation of America.  Then again maybe not.  I am sure she has had a tough life as an American "slave," subject to the oppression of her white overlords.

Now that Oprah has declared that: "It is our turn now!," All non-black Americans should try to find out what she means by our.  I naively though that America is a Republic that is for, of, and by the people, ALL PEOPLE.  Are Oprah, Barack, Michelle and other blacks of the same paradigm saying that they were once "slaves," but now they are the new perspective overlords (sic)?  By the way haven't Oprah's producers and "handlers" made her a billionaire"?  Try that in Africa, Oprah!

One who becomes a hyphenated American rather than an American, and refuses to assimilate into the American culture isolates themselves from the culture that makes up America.  Non of us are indigenous to America, not even the American Indians who the politically correct among us try to convince us originated on this continent.  No offense intended, however, "indigenous people" is not a proper term to describe American Indians.  African-American is also a confusing title, especially to non-black Africans.

Our ancestors all came from somewhere else.  But once citizenship was earned our ancestors became Americans. We should leave our "baggage" from the old country and appreciate the wonderful gift of freedom we have in the United States of America.   We are literally all in this together.  A true American believes, among many other things, in family, education, hard work, achievement, and assimilation into the American culture.  It is a culture woven out of the ethnic fabric of many nations, and should make our country stronger not weaker.

Americans are not victims, nor do they want to have an out of control big government to support them or interfere in every aspect of their life.  Americans should want their government to protect them, then get out of the way.  Freedom requires hard work and sacrifice.  I believe Ms. Obama needs to reflect upon the wonder of America and quit seeing herself as a black American.  Once she gets over whatever baggage she is carrying, she may realize that she is an American first who is of black heritage, nothing more, nothing less. 

If she becomes first lady, I hope she displays some style, grace and pride in America.  Her husband, if elected, can not represent just Muslims, blacks, and other "favored" ethnicity's.  His job is to represent all of the people.  So, they are not taking the country back.  It never went anywhere, and it is not their turn.  Everyone has a turn in America depending upon what they do to achieve it.  Blacks have been in elected, and appointed positions in our government since before reconstruction.

Know the issues.  Vote wisely.  God bless America.

Recently I wrote some comments to you regarding drugs and how rampant they are in society today.  Also, much of the daily news is filled with stories of young men and women who are addicted to legal and/or illegal drugs.  Lately some of them have died either from an unplanned overdose, or deadly allergic reaction.  The following is a poem I wrote while in college in 1978.  It may sum up what is happening today in our increasingly liberal society.  It seems appropriate even 30 years after it was written.

Alas Eden

America is quickly moving from a Democracy to an Idiocracy.  Defined, Idiocracy is what happens after a dumbing-down of a society results in a nation filled with idiots.  The French philosopher Rousseau's idea of a Democracy is the forcible imposition of the general will.  The English philosopher John Locke's idea of Democracy is the protection and preservation of individual freedom.  And I say that in a Democracy wherein Liberals stress freedom without the rule of law, and rewards ignorance, chaos and an Idiocracy result. 

In America today we have an Idiocracy which has resulted after years of liberal rule.  Public schools teach a very liberal agenda.  Little unstructured minds are filled with hypotheses such as the results of American Imperialism on American society and the world, global warming, white guilt, and the "ugly" American. The "ugly" American is scorned in America by liberal Americans, all of whom claim from their elitist pulpits that we should be ashamed to be the greatest society on the face of this planet. 

In our growing Idiocracy the young are being taught there is no value to human life.  Examples include infanticide and genocide.   In the liberal world of "God is Dead," materialism is rampant, and conservative Christians are scorned as being out of touch with the "real" world”.  Liberal comics, artists, talk show hosts, "talking heads," and the liberal media all cast aspersions on a structured family life filled with education, laughter, harmony and familial love.  Liberal heroes are spoiled, undereducated, actors, musicians, athletes, liberal politicians, and felons. 

Farmers, the very foundation of any culture, are treated like the dirt, which they plow, plant in, and nurture in order to feed America and much of the world.  The liberal elitists enjoy the fruits of the workers labor; however, liberals are too dumbed down by their own policies to realize that culture only lasts as long as the food supply.  Conservative farmers are depicted by liberals as "red-neck" hillbilly Christians who own guns, and are "silly" (sic) enough to believe in God, family and America.  Liberalism is invading the world, and misery, unhappiness and death will soon follow.  The Barbarians are streaming through the gates of America, and the liberals are welcoming them with tributes.

Rousseau may have been thinking of modern day America when he stated: "A child growing up in a so called civilized (liberal) society is taught to curb and frustrate his natural instincts, repress his true feelings, impose the artificial categories of conceptual thinking on his emotions, and pretend not to think and feel all sorts of things that he does think and feel, while pretending to think and feel all sorts of things that he does not think or feel.  The result is alienation from his true self, and all-pervading falsehood and hypocrisy."  Thus liberalism is the corrupter and destroyer of true American values.

If a liberal is elected President of this once great Republic, it will cement once and for all the "great" American Idiocracy.  Think!  Weigh each candidate's agenda carefully, and vote wisely.  God bless America.

Reflections On Racism In America

As "Billary" (Bill and Hillary Clinton) run for president of the United States, race relations have become a central issue of their campaign.  Blacks are now being pitted against each other, which is splitting the Black vote.  Of course after the Democrat convention, the bulk of Black votes will go for the Democrat candidate, as is the tradition. 

In one corner is the "first Black President”, Bill and the co-president Hillary, and in the other a man formerly known as Barry Hussein Obama, a Black Muslim who claims he is a Christian yet is in the "camp" of the Nation of Islam.  Barry changed his name to Barack for dramatic effect.  Geraldo, formerly Jerry Rivers, changed his name to Rivera, claimed his Puerto Rican and Jewish heritage and launched a career.  Race and appropriate name apparently make a difference.

Martin Luther King's dream has become a nightmare.  Now instead of a man being judged by his character, he is being praised merely because of the color of his skin!  The liberal media is patronizing some citizens because of their race.  White Americans are being asked to feel ashamed of their whiteness.  They are taught in school that Christopher Columbus, (claimed by Italians) was a racist fiend responsible for the death of American Indians.  They are taught that whites are responsible for all the ills of our society.  They are taught that all slaves were tortured, raped, boiled in gumbo pots, (sic)  beaten and hung.  They are taught that to be white is to be ashamed of all the inherent (sic) bad qualities carried within white skin.

No one should ever be ashamed to be white.  I am not going to apologize for the Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Irish, Polish, Africans, nor anyone else in history who may have caused suffering, injustice and death.  The past is history.  I do not rewrite it to make someone feel better.  I is what it is.  Nor will I dumb myself down to appease someone who cannot or will not compete in the present on a level playing field.  I do not know the future, but I can try to make the present better.

If Billary and Obama want to play the race/gender cards, I refuse to join them.  Like the message of Mr. King, I accept a person at face value.  They will be "judged" according to their character, not a stereotype nor prejudice.  So if Billary, Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et.al. want to play the race card let them.  I won't.  Recently I heard Oprah say that it is now "our" turn.  I take that to mean that now Blacks will finally get to "pay" white people back for all of their past and present "suffering" (sic) when Obama is elected.  I don't know anyone alive who owned, or abused a slave.  I do know that my Irish grandmother was an orphan who was sent to New Orleans from New York as an indentured servant.  I also know that I was born in a Housing Project, in the Irish Channel of New Orleans.

Oprah has proven to me that she is Black first, woman second, a victim third, and a racist most of all.  Shame on her.  A person I overheard at the gym recently was asked how he felt about Obama and Blacks in general.  His reply was telling:  "I don't have a problem with Black people.  Generally, I like them.  But they seem to have a problem with me!"  Wasn't it Rodney King who said:  "Can't we just all get along."  Vote wisely.  God bless America.

Reflections On Aging

Ahh youth!

One unwraps you

as eagerly as a Christmas gift.

However, with the passing of time,

Eagerness and interest wane,

and you are ignored,

as so much lost baggage.

No negative message intended.  This is just an observation of mine regarding our elderly.

Having worked in intelligence gathering for over 40 years among other tasks within the Federal Government, I have formed many of my opinions based upon empirical evidence.  The beauty of "classified" information is that if the truth were revealed most people wouldn't believe it anyway.  The information sometimes protects itself.  Also, many would find the information boastful and consider it non-credible.

I have worked internally with every administration from JFK to (king) George II (Mr. Bush) whom I respect, but consider to be too liberal relative to many issues.  The president I found easiest to talk to was President Ford.  Unfortunately, I was young, and too liberal at the time of that election, so I got "sucked" into voting for Carter.  My penance to atone for that blunder is to admit to everyone that I wasted my vote on that Marxist. 

Jimmy Carter may be a moral person, but as a president he was among the worst in American history.  He was effete, ineffectual and spineless.  He has never met a Communist that he hasn't loved.  Willy boy Clinton whose real name is William Jefferson Blythe aka The Rapist, also joins Lyndon Johnson, and Jimmy Carter in the ranks of the worst presidents, in my opinion.

President Ford's main sin was to be honest, sincere, humble, Christian, apparently a loving family man.  He pardoned President Nixon (I am not a crook!) for trying to protect members of his staff who got out of hand.  And the Liberals crucified him.  Nixon gets points for many of the positions he took vis-a-vis Vietnam, and China.  And his signature on my Marine Corps discharge papers is treasured by me. 

Nixon had the grace and smarts to resign (I wouldn't have)!  Willy boy stood in defiance although he was impeached but not punished.  Many today still don't know, nor will admit that Clinton was disgraced, and unlike Mr. Nixon, he really was a crook.  Even when he left office, his wife and staff members ransacked the White House and stole whatever was not nailed down.  This is not a false claim.  It is a documented fact. 

Unfortunately the American people forget and forgive so easily.  Also, they are uninformed or worse, ignorant to the truth.  If Hillary Clinton is elected by women who vote with their emotions and genitals rather than their brains, America will have the next "Evita".  To explain myself better relative to the genital issue:  Many women will vote for Hillary because of what she has from the shoulders down rather than the shoulders up!

Reflections On Hillary Clinton And God

Last night as I watched Hillary Clinton claim victory in New Hampshire she ended her victory speech by saying: “God bless you all”. It was probably not even noticed by many in the cheering crowd of her mind-numbed disciples. They were too busy admiring their icon of Liberal Democracy to notice that she invoked God to bless them. As self proclaimed “free-thinkers some in the crowd are true Liberals who believe as Time magazine declared on their cover in 1969: GOD IS DEAD!”

Like Hillary, the college trained Marxist, Liberals “know” that religion is an opiate of the people. It is to be used to profligate the Liberal party-line. Communists all over the world know that in order to control the people big government must replace faith in God with faith in Big Government. The people are brainwashed into believing that Big Government, not God can solve all of their problems. They are taught that Big Government, not God will take care of them in every aspect of their daily life.

Under Communism, children in school are taught that Big Government, not God will take care of them. An example used in these schools includes the following instruction: Teacher to students: “How many of you believe in God? Almost all the little hands go up. Teacher to students: “How many of you believe in Our Supreme Leader?” (insert any Communist Dictator’s name you want). A few hands go up. Teacher to students: “How many of you like candy?” All the little hands go up. Teacher to students: “Pray to God for candy.” The little heads are bowed and they each pray. But it is all for naught because there is no candy forthcoming. Teacher to students: “Pray to our Supreme Leader for candy. The little heads are once again bowed and they ask the Supreme Leader for the candy they want so badly. The teacher pulls out a huge bag of candy, and all of the students are rewarded with the candy they prayed to Big Government for. This method of brainwashing works unfailingly because the young unstructured mind, as well as the unstructured adult mind, is so easily swayed when its uncontrolled ids are satisfied by Big Government.

Under the yoke of Liberalism people must not be free to choose for themselves whether to succeed or fail because in a free society there are winners and losers. Some choose to get a good education, develop personal skills, or use their talents to rise through the economic classes and become winners. Some are born into wealth and choose to win, while some who are wealthy squander their advantage and end up losers. It happens every day in a free society. Others are free to spurn education, live in chaos, ignore their talents, choose a corporeal life filled with self-satisfaction, an undisciplined id, and thereby become losers.

Elitist Liberal leaders try to convince the people that winners are responsible for taking care of the losers. Instead of allowing the generous among the wealthy to contribute through legitimate means to help the unfortunate, Big Government takes from the winners and redistributes the wealth thereby creating a Welfare State. In the socialist Welfare State now called the United States no one is allowed to choose to “lose”.

Hillary Clinton and her Liberal brethren want to create a “village” where communal living is the way of life. Big Government always punishes the wealthy by unfair taxation in order to support the non-productive. But the Liberal “leaders” will become the new rich elitists who will steal freedom from “we the people” at every turn. So whenever you hear Mrs. William Jefferson (Rodham) Clinton say God bless you, be careful that you understand that she is using a tool that she has been taught will win her votes and approval, and may ultimately make her the American Eva (Evita) Peron. As an aside, you may never hear Obama mention God. Perhaps he is hiding allah (sic) from the voters until the “great” Black Muslim takeover of our government is effected. May God truly bless you and help you to vote wisely. God bless America.

Have you noticed how many legal drugs are advertised on television and radio?  First a disease has to be created by the drug companies.  Then a drug they have invented is recommended to cure the disease.  Does anyone 60 years or older remember being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)?  My parents and teachers calmed an active, loud child with a good swift whack on the butt. No drug was necessary.  Discipline was mandatory for bad behavior.  There might even be a little care and love applied to reinforce good behavior.

It is easier today to parent by medicating the normal child into a stupor.  Mom and Dad self-medicate also.  It is much easier than taking the time to be a good parent, or dealing with the reality of everyday life.  Like in "Alice in Wonderful" there is one pill to make you tall and one to make you small.  There is a pill for every phase of your life.  A pill to make you lose weight.  A pill to make you gain weight.  A pill to stimulate pleasure.  A pill to calm you down.  A pill to make you "potty".  A pill to keep you from "pottying" too much.  A pill for every purpose "under heaven."  It is almost like a biblical prayer answered by ones favorite drug company.

Much of today's "spazzing" out is caused by self-indulgence and a lack of discipline and order.  Chaos rules in a liberal environment when excuses are invented to condone bad behavior.  One is encouraged to experiment with all the legal drugs, and many which are not legal.  We are a drug culture because drugs are big business.  Doctors push drug samples for kick backs from drug companies,  School officials recommend drugs for unruly children.  Parents buy and dispense drugs for everything from simple allergies to perceived hyperactivity. 

Also, there are side-effects that in some cases are worse than the symptoms that caused a person to take a drug in the first place.  Some drugs advertised on television even have a warning that literally states: we don't know what causes this drug to work!  My all-time favorites drug ad is for male impotency.  The side effect for the male impotency drugs warn that a doctor would be consulted if an erection of over four hours occurs.  It seems that if the drug works too well a doctor should give you another drug to counteract the first drug.

Have a problem?  There is a drug to solve it!   But the side-effects create a situation where another drug needs to be taken, and the vicious cycle continues.

No wonder our children, as well as many adults, have voices in their head telling them to commit vicious acts.  How about something novel in today's modern drug era?  How about respect, kindness, care, discipline, structure, and above all love?

Mr. Veritas

Money walks and talks very loudly especially in politics.  Unfortunately, many citizens who vote are not knowledgeable enough to walk into a voting place and make an intelligent choice.  The liberal dumbing-down of America has been in place long enough now to corrupt the minds of our young and even some people old enough to know better.  Others just vote for the candidate that satisfies their self-interests.

To paraphrase an old axiom:  If you are 21 and are not a liberal you have no heart.  If you are 41 and are not a conservative, you have no brain.  Schools should teach all young, unstructured minds that the role of government is to PROTECT us, provide our infrastructure, then get out of the way.  Government takes money, it does not earn money. We the public make the money and the government takes it from us in the form of taxes and redistributes it, usually to the sick, dumb, lazy and non-productive.  Once, in college, I shocked my Professor by saying:  America is a great country.  We should allow a person to chose whether they want to eat or starve to death.  But unfortunately we reward the non-productive (welfare), and punish the productive (unfair taxes)!

It was a very radical statement, I admit, but my meaning was simply that redistribution of wealth is not fair to the productive.  The successful should be given the choice to be charitable, not forced to contribute to the non-producers who CHOOSE to fail.  

Our candidate for President should be for smaller, less intrusive government.  A government should PROTECT us from our enemies and allow freedom in America for a person to choose to fail without being supported by the taxpayers of this great country.  The liberals believe in choice as long as it fulfills their agenda.  But when the choice involves a person who wants to live on the streets of our cities unemployed, or stay in a government ghetto on welfare collecting a "benefit" check for NOT working, or choosing to be a drug addict or alcoholic, liberals want the successful to feel guilty and support the non-producers.   Huckabee, Hunter, and Thompson may be such candidates.

America cannot afford a liberal President that will have a liberal Congress to support their leftist agenda.  It doesn't "take a village".  It takes a responsible family structure; an educational system that promotes an aggressive pursuit of knowledge, and a disciplined society that believes that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.  Other than that society needs smaller government, NOT bigger government.  We should not look to government to solve our problems.  Unfortunately our representatives display far more personal weaknesses than strengths.  We do not need a black Muslim, an overzealous female Marxist with a Svengali/former President husband, nor any of the other effete liberal candidates running for office.  We need a strong Conservative in the truest since of the word.  Vote wisely.  God bless America.
