Title: Warph strikes again...Is America Going Down The Tubes?
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on May 08, 2008, 01:22:55 AM
Ok you guys.. Warph wrote another one..  :)

This guy is good.
I'm telling him to come over here and join in. but so far, he's staying in the Home Forum...
And that's okay. He told me I could bring anything he writes over here..
So here it is:

Remember the movie, "A Few Good Men" .....

Col. Nathan R.Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.  Whose gonna do it? You?  You, Lt. Weinburg? I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.  Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.  You see Danny boy, I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood.  I don't want money, and I don't want medals.  What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some %#?$# courtesy.  You gotta ask me nicely.  I run my unit how I run my unit.  You want to investigate me, roll the dice and take your chances. I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous.  
Col. Nathan R. Jessep: You want answers?
Lt. Daniel Kaffee: I think I'm entitled.
Col. Jessep: You want answers?
Lt. Kaffee: I want the truth!
Col. Jessep: You can't handle the truth!

WOW.... what a role Jack Nicholson played in that film.... Check 'em out:




Or the Movie Original:


But seriously, the Colonel is right.  These days, truth in the Media has been pushed further into the backseat than loose change during a shuttle launch.  Hell, we don't know what to believe anymore.  I think it's a problem that you can't watch the ABC, CBS and NBC nightly news without longing for the relative intellectual integrity of those thought bubbles on 'Blind Date.'  Remember 'Blind Date?'  I try not to.

If you're looking for empirical truth on TV, you're watching the wrong kinescope, my friend.  TV news wants you entertained first, informed maybe.  There's more useless eye candy in ten seconds of Headline News than in 24 hours of the Cartoon Network.  And don't try to argue that all that junk on the screen is information I need to know.  Nobody cares about the hotter than hell temperature in Phoenix AZ, not even the people in Phoenix. That's why they've moved to Phoenix. They've given up.  

Look, the truth is that in cost conscious, bottom line America all the major cable news organizations.... CNN & HEADLINE NEWS, FOX NEWS, MSNBC.... have been removing key positions like they were editing an Iranian edition of the Kama Sutra.  Instead of reporters on the scene gathering facts, what we're left with is an overstuffed, oxygen starved fish farm of opened mouth trout swimming in circles with absolutely no idea what they're talking about.  The other night MS/NBC loudmouth Chris Matthews had a leading authority on Al Qaeda and it turned out his only credential was that his name was 'Al Qaeda' ... from Pittsburgh, I think.

In today's information economy, the old journalistic mandate of 'Get it fast, first, and right' has been downsized to just getting it 'fast and first and to hell with the right.'  Today's idea of an 'investigative report' is one they remembered to run a spell-check on.  And the line between fact and opinion gets stepped on more frequently than the feet of a circus clown slow-dancing with a scuba diver.

Also, I don't trust anything said by a news anchor who doesn't have a believable hairpiece.  How am I supposed to take seriously any guy with hair that makes the molded plastic thatch on a G.I. Joe's head look natural?  Why should I believe his mouth when his scalp is screaming 'liar?'  And the women, everyone has the SAME hairstyle. Long, Stiff and Overblown.  They could stand in the middle of a tornado and their hair-do would survive.  And those blown-up,  puffed-up lips... the poor girls talk like they have a mouthful of spittlebug %$!$#.....  and I'm supposed to take you serious too, fish lips?  And, come on, does anyone really believe that chick at the TruTV/CourtTV news desk, Ashleigh Banfield, has an agenda that goes any further than launching her own line of eyewear?  Yeah, I see you too, Ashleigh.

And nothing is more skewed than local news during sweeps. The I-Team takes their hidden cameras down to any business that doesn't advertise with the station to ferret out the potential dangers to the consumer.  You never see them do a story on new or used car salesmen because they pump in too much ad revenue.  Instead they storm the barely English speaking mechanic who is trying to feed his eight kids, who charged the undercover reporter with a forty thousand dollar surveillance briefcase, an extra buck for a sparkplug. And it's all hyped with overly dramatic upcoming-story teasers that sound like Adam West reading 'War Of The Worlds' to the blind.

Look, we know each of our major newspapers comes with an established point-of-view.  The New York Times' is that of a liberal Northeastern academic.  The Wall Street Journal is that of conservative corporate America.  And USA Today is that of Sean Penn's character in 'I Am Sam' after inhaling paint fumes.

The sad truth is, we don't object to the slanted nature of our news because being told how to think is easier than figuring it out for ourselves.  But on the whole, there is no liberal or conservative bias!  Just kidding.  Media bias is just the latest in a long line of American labor-saving devices that began with the cotton gin and will likely end with us swaddled in our full-sensory La-Z-Boys, while a holographic Wolf Blitzer gnome dances on your man-breasts and yips, 'Bad stuff happened to other people in the world today, but not to you, Pumpkin. That's the news. Have another bear claw.'

So where is the class in news?  And where is the class in the talking-heads who give us the news?  Seriously, if your looking for class, check out my favorite talking-head anchor and his family as they hit an all-u-can-eat buffet on saturday nite.  This is for real, people.  He has a family of four box-shaped individuals, one has side-burns, four don't, who barrel in wearing matching pre-stained jogging suits and high-fiving each other when they score a table within arms reach of the food barges.  They all line up and bow before the adversary like sumo wrestlers, then engage in a five-minute flurry of polyester and animal fat that would make Dr. Phil wince.  They then mule-train back to base camp and proceed to dig in like trapped miners running out of air.  After 20 solid minutes of communicative grunting, only briefly interrupted to spit gravy on a napkin fire started by cutlery sparks, the sated quartet of carbo-toadies pushes back from the table, chair legs screeching like a stopping train, eyes the dessert bar, and lets out a long, loud, hauntingly harmonious burp so filled with yearning that it would bring tears to the eyes of an opera critic.  Then the one with side-burns says, 'Does my lady care for jello?'  Now that's what I'm talking about.....  That's Class, baby!

Let's be honest with ourselves.  You want the truth, belly man?  You can't stay awake for the truth.  Come on, you know you want police chases, mudslides, and world leaders caught on tape having sex with their daughter's piano teacher.  You don't give an embryonic rat's ass about illegal immigration; the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard; Hannah Montana's photo shoot; who's running for the prez spot or the new Campaign Finance Reform bill, or Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure.... because it's way too complicated to figure out and depressing as hell.  When we come home from a hard day at the office, all we want is to kick our feet up on the coffee table, pop open a cold one, turn on the television, and be reassured that everyone in the world is more screwed up than you are, especially the TV talking-heads reporting on it.  ::) .....

More from Warph ( The Rabbit Hole)
(Love this guys' style.. LOL)

Why is it that going somewhere, buying something, calling someone.....
just about any transaction that you can name in America is about as nerve-racking
as a Iraqi grocery run?   

Why is it that seemingly everyone with a job along the great service highway is an
uninterested sociopath with the interpersonal skills of a wolverine? 

Why is it that I can't seem to go through the simplest procedures without a major hassle? 
For example, I recently subscribed to a magazine, and after paying for it they sent me another
of the magazine each week, one addressed to 'Philip Warph' and the other addressed
to 'Phylis Warph.'  Now, I want to know two things: One, how can they not know
they're sending two magazines to the same address... and two, how did they find
out about my cross-dressing?

You know, nowadays, half the people you ask for help say, "It's not my job,
man."  And the other half don't have a clue about how in the hell to do their
job.  See if this sounds familiar: Hotel clerks who, even though you requested a
nonsmoking room, give you a suite that smells like your dogs butt; maids who don't
give a crap about the "Do Not Disturb" sign and come through the door like
Sheriff Joe Arapio raiding the kitchen for green cards at El Pollo Loco; movie
ushers who constantly ask you to remove your feet from the seat in front of you,
but refuse to even shine their flashlight on the kiddie gang-initiation golden shower
taking place during "Chicken Little".

And excuse me for wandering into your restaurant, Olive Garden 'wait-person,' in a
quest for sustenance to jam in my pie hole.  But from the time you strap on the
Buford Pusser pepper mill to the time you drop your check on my table, do all of us
hungry patrons a favor and use your sense memory to portray a 'wait-person' who
gives a crap about the customer you're serving even though that customer rudely
insists on not being O.J. Simpson.  Okay, Garlic Breath?

Once I had a job cleaning toilets for a living--on the night shift, for chrissakes.  I didn't
even rate cleaning toilets during the DAY shift.  My bosses actually thought to themselves,
"Yeah, Warph's good, he's REAL good.   He's just not ready for the 'Big Show' yet."

I know jobs can be unrewarding, but talk about inefficiency.  I'd like to go on vacation for
a couple of weeks, call the paper boy, and ask him to suspend delivery during that time and
not come back to twelve newspapers sitting outside my doorstep, screaming to every lowlife
in the area, "Yoohoo! Over Here! Nobody Home!";  I'd like my groceries in a bag that will
actually contain what I purchased, and not open up like the bomb-bay doors on a "B-52"
as soon as my pickle jars are over the cement driveway; I'd like the universal remote I bought
to change the channels on my TV and not shut off my neighbor's home dialysis machine. 
And you know, while we are on the subject of inefficiency, why doesn't somebody warn you
that the "stay hard cream" will short circuit the "auto-suck?" Are you with me on that?  A little
too specific?  All right, let it go, walk away from it... it never happened.

And another thing, we're living in a time when personal boundaries are more blurred than the
camera lens in a Cher photo shoot.  You would think that thiswould help to generate more
openness between people, but all it seems to have
done is increase our mistrust.  We feel perfectly comfortable spending hours
online, sharing our innermost thoughts and yearnings with complete strangers,
but we don't even meet the people living next door until there's a huge
earthquake and everyone's out on their lawns at one in the morning.  As a matter
of fact, that's the scariest part of an earthquake... is hearing your 78 year-old
neighbors, Velma and Gus, explain how they had just strapped her into the
Vietnamese 'more bang for your buck' basket, when all of a sudden, she started
swinging back and forth, like King Kong's balls on a hot day. "Well, thanks for the
visual, Velma, I think I'm gonna go pick up a downed power line now, OK?"

And then there's this one.  One of the most disturbing trends in the demise of
personal privacy is the proliferation of hidden cameras.  They're everywhere now.
So what's with this?  I just don't think that's right.  When I'm by myself, I do things
that I would never do if I knew I was being videotaped.  I pick my nose.  I scratch
my itchy butt.  I squeeze blemishes.  I work at my stubborn dandruff patch.  I kick
off my shoes and bite my toenails.  I use whatever's lying around to scrape my
tongue.  I pull nostril hairs out and measure them with a small silver ruler I carry
on a chain around my neck and record their length in millimeters in an embossed
spiral notebook.  I pinch my nipples until my eyes tear up, and I straddle things
and yell "giddy-up," while slapping myself on the ass with a Victorian carpet beater. 
The point is, I should be able to pass my time waiting in line at the Post Office any
way I want to.

More important, I've had it up to here with corporations pushing the freaking
unions around.  You know that if you haven't been laid off by now, you're
working overtime.  Most large companies are lean and mean.  And so is the
service they give you: lean and mean.

Still, a lot of the blame falls on us. There seems to be this notion that good,
honest, hard work is something to be viewed down our collective snout.  That
doesn't make the workers at the bottom of the pole feel very good.  Does it?
If you want better service, the next time you see one of those workers in an
'Employee of the Month' photo in a fast-food restaurant, suppress your urge t
o make your friends laugh by ridiculing the guy as a dork loser with a bad haircut.
Instead, why not seek out the guy who actually took pride in doing his job the
way it was supposed to be done and thank him for dotting the i's and crossing
the t's and making sure there is toilet paper in the stall, and ketchup in the dispenser. 
Make that person feel good because he is the last thin blue collar line between a
frayed but still functioning society and full-blown "We'll be there anytime between
8 a.m. and 6 p.m. or maybe we won't even show up at all, butt face" anarchy.  All right?

And let's grab the reins as customers.  Don't stay on hold forever.  "What's that?
I should press one if I am calling from a touch-tone phone?  Hey butt-wipe, I'm
pressing flash, 'cause I'm hanging up now and taking my business to a human operator
that speaks english!"  Also, don't settle for the fish nuggets and the green spooge,
turn the car around, go back, and demand the triple bacon cheeseburger with the
chili fries you ordered!

And lastly, let's get our pride together, go to the whip, and regain our position at
the head of the socioeconomic pack!  How about less billions spent on getting the
'Political Pork' cherry, and a few more billions on tightening up our educational system. 
Forget the 'moment of silence' in the morning.  Let's shoot for a moment of SCIENCE, okay?

And it's time we stopped looking up Iran's ass, and you know why?

Because that is definitely 'not our job, man!'  8) ......Warph

If you are worried about Hidden Cameras, Check this out:

http://www.spyville.com/

  How do I find a hidden spy camera? The Spy finder is the simple answer. You will be able to locate any hidden camera any spy cam any nanny camera This is the product everyone is talking about. We're actually getting hate mail from other spy shop owners. The Spy Finder , like it or not, is here to stay.  You can be secure in any area by using the spy finder to check for hidden cameras. Hotel room cameras? Spyfinder finds them. Dressing room cameras? Spyfinder finds them. The original technology used to locate wired and wireless spy cameras was developed by a military engineering and contractor firm about five years ago. The device worked and worked well. 
Say Goodbye To Spy Pinhole and hidden Cameras!

Last Year, Over 74 Million Dollars Was Spent On Spy Cameras
Alone. They Are Everywhere, Mostly Where They Shouldn't Be
In The First Place. The Spyfinder Locates hidden Spy and Pinhole Cameras, Wired Or Wireless cameras, Dead or Alive From 30 FEET!!!!

Anyone Hiding A Camera In A Dressing Room, Tanning Booth,
Restroom, Etc. WILL BE CAUGHT...........

The SpyFinder hidden camera detector/locator is the most reliable and easy to use technology on the market for making sure that your private actions are not being watched. Its function is based on the principle of optical augmentation. This technical jargon refers to the phenomenon where light reflected from a focused optical system, such as a video camera, is reflected along the same path as the incident light. This means that if a hidden camera is illuminated and viewed with the SpyFinder technology, then a strong reflection from the target camera will reveal its position to the user.

The SpyFinder exploits this phenomenon by using a ring of ultra-bright LEDs arranged around a viewing port. When a user scans a room looking through the viewing port, a hidden camera appearing in the field of view will brightly reflect the light from the LEDs.

Operation:
While the equivalent of rocket scientists thought up the SpyFinder technology, operating it is not rocket science. Simply look through the viewing port (see photo) and depress the button to activate the LEDs. Slowly scan areas where hidden cameras are suspected and look for bright reflected spots. Remember, most hidden video cameras use pinhole camera lenses, so the spot you are looking for could be small.

If you see a suspected camera, move your vantage point slightly. If the location of the reflection moves as you move, then this is not a camera. If the location of the reflection does not move, then it is highly likely that you have discovered the optics of a hidden camera.

For example, consider a wall clock that has a domed plastic cover and a pinhole camera concealed under the numeral six on the clock face. When the SpyFinder is used to scan the clock, a reflection will be noted where the camera is located beneath the six and a reflection will also be noted from the plastic cover. However if you move your vantage point just a little, you will notice that the location of the false positive reflection point from the plastic cover will move, while the reflection from the camera remains under the numeral six on the clock face.
 

TRUE STORIES
1) In July 2002 an Ohio man staying in Knoxville at a major hotel chain found a hidden camera in a bathroom light fixture. He discovered the small video camera after noticing a tiny black spot. He thought it was an insect, but it turned out to be a hole in the fixture that concealed a video camera.

2) July 2003 Overton County Tennessee parents, upset that their children were filmed undressing in school locker rooms have filed suit, charging that school officials allowed surveillance cameras to be installed and then failed to secure the images.

3) A woman who says she noticed a video camera in the ceiling of the bathroom of a franchised toy is suing the retailer for invasion of privacy. She noticed a hole in the ceiling above the commode while visiting the suburban Atlanta store on March 21, 2003.

4) August 2004, Ithaca, New York - A college student called police after discovering a pinhole camera in the bathroom of the apartment she shared with three women, and now her landlord is charged with unlawful surveillance. The landlord faces four counts of unlawful video surveillance, a felony that can draw up to four years in prison. He also owns several rental properties near Cornell University. Police said they searched two other apartments and found two pinhole cameras and several video recordings of at least four students.

5) Guilty verdicts in 16 electronic eavesdropping cases were returned in Lenawee County Circuit Court against the owner of a tanning salon. The proprietor was arrested after police on Feb. 27 found a hidden camera in the tanning room and five tapes of customers.

Okay, I guess I've got to open my big mouth and reply.
Stupid (and crooked) politicians, stupid service people, hostile drivers, evil big business.  The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!
No, it's not.
Then why does "everybody" say it's so?  I think there are a couple of reasons;
Attitude.  I make mistakes.  In fact, I make a lot of mistakes, so I don't get upset when others make mistakes, and I don't automatically assume that others make mistakes because they are stupid, negligent, or incompetent.  I assume that they are just like me, they made a mistake.
Attitude.  I like people.  Not in large numbers, because I'm basically a hermit, but I really like people.  And I treat them all the same, whether they're the janitor or the company president.  I have a smile for everyone, and I'm considerate to everyone.  Funny thing is that people treat me the same way.
Perception.  This one will get me hate mail.  I'm a great fan of the NRA, I've been a member for around 45 years now.  Around fifteen years ago, I was constantly angry, the sky was falling, I was sure of it.  I also started getting a "rumbling" feeling in my  chest.  The solution?  Get off the caffeine, stop watching the news, talking politics, I asked the NRA to stop sending me their magazine, and I stopped reading their mailings.  I know, I know, but you can only take so much of the sky is falling.  The NRA is doing just fine without my worrying, and the world doesn't seem to miss me.  The point? Do what you can do to make the world a little better and stop worrying about what you can't control.
Point of view.  Several years ago, we were at a party and a wife was complaining about her husband's snoring. My wife's comment was; "I don't mind Art snoring, at least I know he's still breathing."
Some of you may be old enough to remember the Peace Corps. question; "Is the glass half full, or half empty?"  I never really appreciated the importance of that question until I got older.  If you view it as half empty, you really, really, will find life that way.
Me?  I'm happy that I woke up this morning.  I'm not hungry, I've got a job, I'm pretty healthy, I have a wife that loves me.  Life's pretty good.  Will the sky fall tomorrow?  Maybe, or I could get run over by a beer truck, but that's tomorrow, today's pretty damn good.

Actually M'ette, I should apologize to you.  You were sharing something you thought was interesting, and I was rude in not respecting that.  Sorry.  Still "friends"?

There is nothing to apologize about unique.. Not all of us are going to agree ( thank god for that!) on what we think is humorous or interesting in here. Respect is wonderful and we have an overload of it in this forum ( for that I am so proud and grateful to you all)
I was kind of a snot that night..( Too tired and overloaded) (((no excuse)). :-[
I said that I didn't take everything I read on the chin..And that is true.. I very seldom do.. but I guess in my crabbiness that day, I did just that!  I was the one who needed to apologize and I did.
 
And of course we are still friends. I love all you guys to death..and if you pussyfooted around me and told me that everything I did was just wonderful.. I'd know you were lyin' and  not being yourselves..
Just like the 9-11 posting.. There isn't 100% agreement..and never will be.. But that's a good thing. Unless it gets personally rude, I don't anyone should feel the need to apologize just becasue they don't have the same beliefs or opinions. 
I really DO like good debates and you all are very very smart  and even though I don't agree sometimes.. I still keep an open mind, or try to anyway..and I learn so much from you.
Thanks for not making me feel like an idiot or talk down to me because I generally don't know what I am talking about in its entirety. But to respectfully post opposite opinions of what I or anyone else posts *and stay good buddies* is what makes us all wonderfully different than other forums.  ..

The DOW hit -777 and the bail-out bill is moot.  Been trying to get a hold of my financial advisor but was told he left for Rio.... wonder what that means?  Rosh Hashanah is today and wed. so that means 30 plus house members are home for the jewish holiday so looks like the economy is in the crapper for the next couple of.... whatever....   
 
....and speaking of the crapper, watching the debate the other night I'm still confused as to who won... McCain???? Obuma????  It seems to me that when it comes to foreign policy, the U.S. has two separate problems.  To begin with, there are those two billion plus foreigners in places like China, Russia, North Korea and all the various Islamic nations that give America and much of the rest of the world non-stop migraines.

But compounding the problem for us are the millions of illegal aliens who have been flooding across our southern border for the past 25 years or so.  It’s bad enough that they’ve placed a terrible burden on our schools, our prisons and our health care system.  What makes it even worse is that they actually believe they’re somehow entitled. They don’t even think twice about demonstrating in the streets, demanding more and more of what I refer to as un-entitlements.  I mean, who in the hell do they think they are? American teenagers?

If these folks are even stopped in public or in the workplace and asked to show proof of citizenship, the riff-raff at the ACLU scream “racism” and threaten to turn every traffic stop into a federal case.  All I know is that after dealing at the same bank for the past eight or nine years, I’m still being asked for identification.  I figure if I can live with it, so can they.

My daughter gets upset every time she hears about all the foreign aid we’re bestowing on countries that hate our guts. 
 
Is America going down the Tubes because, God only knows how much national treasure we’ve doled out to the ungrateful likes of the Palestinians, the Yemenites and the Syrians, just so they can continue biting the hand that feeds them.  If you think that’s not the case, just check out how infrequently they vote with us at the United Nations.  It would be one thing if we were bribing these chiselers into compliance and putting a nice face on it by calling it foreign aid.  But it’s obviously not working, so why do we continue handing out billions of our tax dollars?  All it does is make America look like a little boy who keeps having to fork over his milk money to the schoolyard bully.

Is America going down the Tubes in the case of Mexico? Hell YES!  I’ve long suggested to my congressman (Trent Franks) whom I know personally, that we deduct the medical and penal expenses that their illegals are costing us from the check we stupid gringos send south every year.  I haven’t the slightest doubt that Mexico would very quickly erect a 30-foot wall on their own side of the border.  What’s more, President Calderon would probably man the machine gun nest personally.

Finally, there are two things I’d like to know.  One: Why, with all their oil revenue, are we footing the bill to repair Iraq’s infrastructure, while we still have potholes in my city?  And, two, I’d appreciate it if someone could explain why, after we’ve rescued the Iraqis and the Kuwaitis from the non-too tender mercies of Saddam Hussein, and have protected the worthless hides of the Saudi royal family for, lo, these many years, I’m paying more than $3.50 cents-a-gallon today to fill my gas tank.

How to Anal-yze A Liberal .

If at times, it is not easy to determine what a liberal is, it’s because during presidential election campaigns, politicians who have been voting like liberals, talking like liberals and boasting about their liberal credentials, suddenly insist that they’re really centrists as they go about trying to garner the votes of gullible Republicans and Independents.  It’s rather like Michelle Obuma trying to convince us that she’s just another stay-at-home mom who loves America and her kids, and in exactly that order.

Most of us on the right can spot a liberal a mile away, just as easily as experienced bird watchers can identify cuckoos, parrots and pigeons.  But just in case you’re not as proficient at recognizing the odd ducks that populate the left, allow me to be your guide through the wilderness.

The common symptoms of an overloaded detoxification system of a Liberal:  Fatigue-Muscle aches-Joint pain-Sinus congestion and post-nasal drip-Headaches- Bloating Gas-Irritable bowel syndrome-Foul-smelling stools-Heartburn- Sleep problems-Brain fog-Food cravings-Fluid retention-Excess weight-Rashes- Canker sores-Dark circles under the eyes-Bad breath or body oder-Premenstrual syndrome-Anal retentive-Parsimony-Very ill humor-Boils.  Good Lord, no wonder these crazy liberals act so miserable.

To go on.... in America, more than 80% of African-American and Jewish voters can be safely assumed to favor liberals in any and all elections.  The reason that poor blacks vote overwhelmingly for Democrats is because they have been told over and over again by plantation owners like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, that it’s only through the federal government’s largesse that they can manage to survive at all.  I suppose even if an able-bodied person is told from childhood on that he lacks the ability to walk, let alone run, he will come to believe he needs a wheelchair or at least a pair of crutches.

Middle-class, church-attending, blacks often owe their unnatural allegiance to the party of George Wallace, Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd, because they listen to their ministers. Political bribes are usually frowned upon, except when the Democrats act as bagmen for the black clergy.  There is a reason, you know, why white politicians get to spend so much time in black churches at election time, in spite of their goofy insistence that “separation of church and state” is writ large somewhere in the Constitution, which it isn't.

When it comes to Jews, the great majority of them are secular when it comes to religion, but religious when it comes to leftist politics.  It isn’t a coincidence that Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky started out as Jews, and that 39 of 42 Jews currently serving in the House and Senate are left-wingers who, while disparaging Christian belief in Jesus as the messiah, have no problem whatsoever accepting Barack Obama in that role.

I happen to know a Jewish professor who lives in the state of Washington.  While he may not be typical, his mindset isn’t all that different from many of your so called college professors today.  When George Bush was running for re-election in 2004, the Professor sent me an e-mail in which he claimed that if Bush won, America would immediately begin building concentration camps for Jews, and he was glad he lived close to Canada and would be able to escape across the border.  This is how the liberal mind works.

Most liberals will tell you that they don’t hate America, they merely hate George Bush.  But when you ask them why they hate him so much, they start yammering about the invasion of Iraq, even though all the Democratic bigwigs spent the 1990s calling for regime change, and later voted for the invasion.  The left also hates Bush because of the Patriot Act.  They insist it’s cost us many of our basic freedoms.  But I have yet to ask a liberal to name a single freedom he had under Clinton that he doesn’t have today and received a coherent answer.  Yet, even I can come up with one.  Thanks to Jimmy Carter, who allowed the Islamic Clowns to get a foothold in Iran by turning his back on the Shah, and Bill Clinton, who spared Osama bin Laden’s life on more than one occasion, I no longer have the freedom to arrive at an airport half an hour before boarding and expect to make my flight.

There is a good reason, though, that liberals are liberals.  By and large, they are people who never fully mature and who go through life, like sullen teenagers, resenting figures of authority -- be they police officers, members of the military, teachers who believe in discipline and academic standards in the classroom – people, in short, who have rules and values.  I bet some of these folks started out by resenting their parents, assuming their parents were responsible adults and not aging hippies, the sort of parents who set curfews and expected good grades, parents who objected to their offspring boozing, shacking up and using drugs.

For years, we have all heard Hollywood’s most prominent left-wingers vow to leave America if we assorted racists, fascists and evil yokels, managed to elect a Republican president.  And although Republicans have won five of the last seven presidential elections, and I would be glad to drive any and all of them to the airport, in all that time the only movie star who has left America except to make a movie or work on his tan is Johnny Depp, who moved to France.  Sean Penn and Robin Williams did the next best thing.  They moved to San Francisco.

One of the most annoying things about liberals is that when nightmarish events don’t take place as they predicted -- be they concentration camps for Jews, cataclysmic Volcanoes or rising sea levels -- they never admit they were mistaken.  Never!  Case in point: Obuma and the surge.  They can’t even bring themselves to acknowledge that global warming was a hoax concocted by Al Gore; instead, they merely start squawking like a barnyard full of Chicken Littles about the intentionally vague phenomenon known as climate change.

In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi turns off the lights in the House so that Congress can’t vote for increased oil drilling.  Then, to compound matters, she takes time off from her book tour to go on “Meet the Press” with liberal shill Tom Brokaw and explain that her personal financial investment in natural gas exploration was simply a means by which to wean Americans away from our dependence on hydrocarbons.  Brokaw, either because he didn’t know or, more likely, had no intention of embarrassing Madame Speaker, neglected to point out that natural gas is a hydrocarbon!

......is that liberals don’t offer fries with their whoppers!!!

There are good lies and there are bad lies, and not just on a golf course.  Good lies are those that make me laugh.  But when it comes to the bad lies, lying about things that really matter, you can’t beat those on the left.  Back in the bad old days of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union built what were called Potemkin Villages.
These were show places designed to convince gullible American tourists that the Soviet Union was the workers’ paradise they claimed it to be.  But Stalin had a lot of help dispensing his propaganda.  He had the New York Times man in Moscow, Walter Duranty, to carry his water.  Or in Stalin’s case, make that blood.  Even though Duranty knew that Stalin intentionally murdered millions of Ukrainians, starving them to death, he kept quiet about it, instead filing glowing reports about Stalin’s five year economic plans, going so far as to report that Stalin had become a truly great statesman.

My understanding of it is that Duranty wasn’t even a Communist parroting the party line, but simply a reporter who lied because he enjoyed the money he was paid by the Times, the perks that Stalin provided to his favorite parrot and his status as the most famous journalist in the world, all of which would have been lost to him if he had reported the truth about Stalin’s butchery.  What’s more, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his despicable lies.

Lest you think that sort of thing couldn’t happen today, I’ll remind you that in order to keep its Baghdad bureau open, CNN never uttered a negative word about Saddam Hussein’s regime.  At least in Duranty’s case, the explanation for his moral and journalistic lapses were greed and glory.  But what does a so-called news organization gain from having a bureau for 25 years if it hasn’t the slightest intention of reporting the news?

The fact that those on the left lie isn’t so surprising.  What boggles the mind is how badly they do it.  In the recent past, Jack Kelley of USA Today was caught fabricating stories, as was Stephen Glass of the New Republic, as was Jayson Blair of the New York Times.  Janet Cooke cooked up a story about an eight-year-old heroin addict for the Washington Post, and, like Mr. Duranty, won a Pulitzer Prize for her fictional concoction.  But at least the Post, unlike the New York Times, had the good grace to return the Prize once the truth leaked out.

Let us not forget CBS’s Dan Rather, who allowed his hatred of George Bush to blind him to the fact that he was going to the mat in defense of obviously forged documents, and that not too long ago, the New Republic, even after the Stephen Glass affair, was so eager to attack the war in Iraq they ran a series of foul and outrageous lies slandering our troops by one Scott Thomas Beauchamp.

The thing about those on the left that I, personally, find so infuriating isn’t just that they lie, but that they’re such hypocrites that they never call one another out.  For instance, Al Gore and his Hollywood disciples are constantly exchanging the environmental equivalent of high-fives, and no liberal ever mentions the "inconvenient truth" that all of these people reside in mansions the size of hotels and fly all over the planet in private jets.  Talk about carbon footprints!  Dinosaurs didn’t have feet this big or this dirty.

Speaking of our glorious actors, they all pretend to be populists, just worried sick about the plight of blue collar Americans.  Of course they’ll open their homes to raise campaign funds for any huckster with a (D) after his or her name.... case in point: socialist/commie/muslim Barack Hussein Obuma.... but have you ever heard about their offering, let us say, a million dollars of their $25 million-a-movie salary to be divided among the crew?  I've heard that the  more generous ones pass out wristwatches or autographed photos of themselves at the wrap party, imagining that the various gaffers, gofers and stuntmen, will forever after mention them in their evening prayers.

For that matter, have you ever heard of a far-left liberal college professor, many of whom pull down well over $100,000-a-year, sharing any of his salary with the custodial staff or their own over-worked, under-paid, teaching assistants?  Nope, neither have I.

Talk is cheap, but not nearly as cheap as those lying miserable lefties.

I got this from Warph..He got it from a close friend of his.




An Open Letter To John McCain from a friend of mine

Americans want to vote for you, they really do.  But you are proving to be your one worst enemy.  Republicans and Conservatives are trying to make your case for you on the internet, in blogs, in videos, print and other media.  But we cannot do it all.  You need to step up and speak out for yourself.
 
We all release a collective groan when you tell the media you will turn to people like Al Gore, who we defeated in a presidential election because we think he has terrible ideas on where this country should go.  We do not believe his fantasy of man-made global warming.  We believe he is heading up a money-making scheme which has so far helped him to add millions, possibly billions, to his own bank account.
 
You hurt yourself by turning away from true Conservatives and pandering to the far left wing of the Democrat party.  They do not want you as president.  They mock you behind your back and openly in the main stream media who are all in the tank for your opposition, Barack Obama.  Why would you do this?  Do you have a death wish for your campaign?

On the far left,  liberal actor Alec Baldwin admits that Barney Frank was the one who let us down in Congress.  It was Barney Frank, and associates who got Americans in this financial mess.  There is video of their own comments in Congress, check it out for yourself.  Surely somebody on your staff can make you sit down and watch this.  Americans know the truth, so name names Sen. McCain.
 
Americans are tired of the fox guarding the hen house.  Barney Frank is the cause of our situation and now he will be investigating what happened.  Surely Senator McCain, you can see the irony in this.  Americans, Republicans, Conservatives are pulling our hair out.
You need to come out swinging and expose the folks that are responsible for the financial situation, specifically Fannie and Freddie.  Name names, McCain!!!!
 
You are supposed to be the candidate that will keep this country safe from terrorists.  Are you aware that the "Federal Reserve extended an $85 billion loan to American International Group to be paid back as AIG sells off some business in the biggest government takeover so far in the ongoing credit crisis" and AIG is continuing to expand its Sharia finance business?

The main stream media is not only using Democrat talking points, they are using Arab talking points, thus spreading the Islamization of America.  This leaves Republicans with the great responsibility of getting their own message out correctly.  It's up to you Sen. McCain.  Step up and speak out.  The MSM does not support you and neither does the Arab world.  It is your opponent Barack Obama who received financing from the Palestinians.  Name names, McCain!!!!
 
Surely you can see why Barack Obama is bad for America.  If you truly believe this, then we want you to tell us WHY he is bad, say it, tell Obama in the upcoming debate.  Point out all the reasons why he should NOT be the next president of the United States.  He wants to redistribute income, take from the rich, give to those he chooses to give to. He wants to sit down with our enemies.  He wants to defer to the 'world' rather than make decisions himself to protect America.  Point the finger at these issues Mr. McCain.

You need to name names!  You promised American people this is what you would do.  We take you at your word, don't disappoint us.

You need to be naming names about Sen. Barack Obama's friends and associates.  The group includes terrorists, America-haters, who want to destroy this country, who want to ruin her any way they can.  Name these names Sen. McCain:  Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Meeks, Pfleger, ACORN, and now ... The FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of a Will County auditor to ask questions about Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama's, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan, concerning the millions of dollars in earmarks provided by Obama.  Name these names, McCain.  Share this information with the world on television during your last upcoming debate.
 
Let Gov. Sarah Palin be who she is -- a true Conservative.  Do not send her out on the campaign trail parroting your "maverick" talking points.  Let her name names and point fingers at your opponent.  She knows who the enemy is and can share this with the people who love her and who she connects with.
 
Enough with using the term "maverick".  This appeals to no one who will vote for you.  We don't want mavericks, we don't want someone who turns his back on his base in order to ingratiate the opposing party.  We value someone who shares our beliefs and isn't afraid to stand up for those beliefs.  Can you be this person Sen. McCain?  Voters are wondering.  It's up to you to convince us that you will represent Conservatives if we elect you.  We await your reply and will be watching the last upcoming presidential debate.  You have one more shot at Obama.  Don't let us down.

Post by: Teresa Heilevang on October 10, 2008, 09:17:32 AM
I must confess that I am spending an awful lot of time thinking about Barack Hussein Obuma sitting here in Wonderland.  I hasten to add that it’s not, as is the case with Chris Matthews, because the senator sends shivers up my leg.  Rather, it’s because I simply can’t figure out how he’s managed to convince so many people that he should be the president of the United States.  Now if he were the anti-christ, I could understand.  It’s a lot like trying to figure out how Las Vegas magicians make lions and tigers disappear.

To be perfectly honest, I invariably feel that way about the candidates the Democrats try to foist off on us.  But, as a rule, guys like Dukakis, Gore and Kerry, are just typical party hacks.  But at least none of them attended a racist church, they didn’t associate with known terrorists and they usually didn’t display their contempt for national symbols and the U.S. military quite so blatantly.

Liberals have tried to convince me that Obama is brilliant.  I find that odd because he has said that there are 57 states, that JFK got the Russians to remove their missiles from Cuba by sitting down and chatting with Khrushchev, and that Iran doesn’t really constitute an actual threat because they don’t spend as much money on weaponry as we do.  Funny, but “brilliant” isn’t the first word that comes to mind.  But what do liberals know?  They were also convinced that Jimmy Carter was intelligent.

As if Obuma’s lack of smarts weren’t bad enough, he compounds the problem with his arrogance.  The way he’s forever tilting his head as if he were posing for a statue and employing the royal “we,” I’m never sure if he thinks he’s campaigning to be president of the United States or the queen of England.

Frankly, I’m always surprised when, every four years, the candidate with the (D) after his name is able to muster tens of millions of votes.  When you realize that the party has become increasingly Marxist, I find it mind-boggling that the Democrats can consistently fare better than the Greens or the Libertarians, in a national election.  God, what a party of IDIOTS!

If you listen to Obuma, you’d get the idea that we’re a third world nation, tottering on the edge of poverty.  Every word out of his mouth suggests that America is being ground down by corporations when every sane member of the middle class is well aware that the Democrats, who have never met a tax increase they didn’t love or an illegal alien they didn’t see as a potential vote, and who promote class and race warfare as party policy, pose more of a threat to this country than the Soviet Union ever did.  Hmmmm.. the way wall street is moving south....you know, he might have a point there... naw, he's an IDIOT!

Obuma and his fellow left-wingers keep parroting the line that all the other nations of the world hate us, but I’ve noticed that they never name names.  And who can blame them? They’re not likely to mention that they’re referring to the likes of Iran, China, Yemen, Venezuela, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and North Korea, just as they’re not likely to mention that England, France, Germany and Italy, have all elected conservative leaders in the past few years, while dumping the leftist likes of Mitterand and Schroder along the way.

Because the MSM adores Obuma, they continue to promote the notion of Obuma as a great orator, but he is actually no more silver-tongued than your average radio announcer reading ad copy for baby wipes.  The fact is that when asked a direct question, the man turns into a blithering idiot, even though you would imagine that by this late date he would have memorized the appropriate lines.  Perhaps the problem is that this new style politician is so driven by polls that from moment to moment he’s not sure exactly how he feels about the 16-month deadline in Iraq, the surge, offshore drilling for oil, election financing or dividing the city of Jerusalem.  Hell, he even changed his opinion about Reverend Wright overnight.  On one notable occasion, during the primaries, he was heard to ask if he could just have a moment to finish his waffle.  We all thought he was referring to his breakfast.  But apparently that wasn’t the case because the man hasn’t stopped waffling yet.

Even after all this time on the stump, I have yet to hear what he would have done about Saddam Hussein if he’d been president.  After all, his liberal colleagues had spent much of the 1990s insisting that there had to be a regime change in Iraq.  And as Georges Sada, Hussein’s air vice-marshal, has stated in his 2006 book, “Saddam’s Secrets,” Hussein had all the WMD that Kerry, Kennedy and the Clintons thought he had, but had his chemical arsenal airlifted to Syria after the allied invasion began, in the hope of convincing the world that he was the innocent victim of American aggression.

Knowing Obuma as we do, we can only assume that if he’d been occupying the Oval Office he would have sat down with Hussein, and through the sheer power of his personality and his white teeth -- or do I repeat myself? -- would have convinced the Butcher of Baghdad that while it’s nice to be important, it’s more important to be nice.

I deal with alot of truck drivers with my job, which can be interesting in itself. In my office at work you can tell who I am right away. Gun and hunting mags next to my desk and calenders and pics on the walls. So they always comment on them.

One day a couple of weeks ago. A driver came in to sign a bill of lading and he I had a little talk.
He said he was 70 years old and had to go back to work for all kinds of reasons. He's a life long Repulican and NRA lifer too.
It's sad the Repulicans can't come up with someone we (R) can get behind the way B HO has with the (D) have. He said.
Aren't their any young up and coming Repulicans ? He said it's hard for him to get behind Mcain.
But there is only one choice. He said he would have liked some better choices to choose from the Repulican party.

I seem to hear this all the time.  ???

It's amazing, both parties seem to offer up 'their' candidates reluctantly going into their respective conventions. They seem to pick mediocre at best & that way if they lose, they can say they didn't ruin a 'good' candidate. They will still have them in reserve for the next election cycle. Witness Kerry last time against an incumbant. BHo was a suprise to the Democrats. I don't think they actually expected him to do anything but get exposure during this campaign. And now it is rather late to ramp up McCain to win - but it is possible.

The media is slowly starting to back off on their bias, so they can be right again at the election - no matter what caos they caused. Happens every time & will until we call them on it. So far we have only made waves in the 'grassroots' press. And as usual it is ignored by voters - we're just the radical left or right depending on one's viewpoint. After the election we must contine to voice our opinions & feelings, no matter who wins. At least until Marshall law is commanded & we are disarmed & the free press is jailed for not carrying the party line.

Time will tell!

Down The Rabbit Hole: What always confounds me about the liberals.....

 Recently, I read an article about a guy in Georgia who claimed that he could turn virtually anything, including grass clippings, garbage and, for all I know, John Kerry’s old speeches, into methane gas.  As I understand it, this fellow and the U.S. military are building seven pilot plants that he claims will provide America with one million barrels of oil a day.  If it all pans out the way it’s supposed to, additional plants will be built and within five or six years, we could be free of not only our dependence on foreign oil, but the need for Nancy Pelosi to come to her senses, (which probably will never happen, right , Nancy).  It is common knowledge that Nancy is so full of GAS that she could run Howard CO. for the next five years.

Getting back to the subject at hand, the guy in Georgia claims he got the notion while standing downwind from the cows at his food production company.  Which made me wonder why the idea hadn’t occurred to anyone standing downwind from our nation’s capitol.

Sometimes, I find myself almost feeling sorry for our so-called public servants.  But I quickly get over it.  All I have to do is consider the fact that the same louts who drag out Martin Luther King’s remark about character trumping color when they’re running for office don’t find anything obscene about the existence of something called the Congressional Black Caucus.  This is the group of scoundrels who gave an ovation to Louisiana’s Rep. William (“Cold Cash”) Jefferson, the fellow who had stashed a $90,000 bribe in his refrigerator, upon his triumphant return to the House of Representatives.

What always confounds me about the liberals in the House and Senate is how disrespectful they are of the president because he has a favorable rating of only about 30% when that’s three times higher than their own.  It’s also peculiar how much power and influence the Democrats hand over to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodo and Joe Biden, when, in their last elections, this tacky group garnered only 110,000, 494,000 and 135,000, 126,000 votes, respectively.  (Most of Harry's votes came from the Nevada ho's). That’s right -- little over three-quarters of a million votes between them, and they carry on as if they have a mandate from the American people.  Give me a break!

Speaking of numbers, I am constantly taken aback when pollsters claim that the coming election is neck-and-neck because McCain and Obama are separated by only one or two percent. Of course that has changed somewhat but, am I the only person who’s aware that it’s electoral votes, not popular votes, that matter in presidential elections?  For instance, if Obama runs up margins in the millions in New York, California and Massachusetts, he’ll still lose if McCain takes Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Minnesota, Virginia and Colorado, by margins in the thousands.  Who knows, McCain.... anything is possibe.  Polls really don't tell alot when the media is involved.  In fact, I can guarantee you that if they each take 48% of the popular vote, McCain will win the election without even breaking a sweat.  Again, it may not happen but, like I said, anything is possible here in Wonderland, folks.

The other day, one of the forum liberals (this is another forum that I'm on) sent me an e-mail.  He took exception to my claim that Democratic politicians were far worse than Republicans when it came to sticking their noses where they didn’t belong.  He wrote: “Other than telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, now, die, I think the Republicans have done a fine job of getting government out of our lives.”

I considered warning him that irony should be left to the professionals, but I wanted to maintain a courteous tone, so, instead, I wrote back: “Suggesting how one should live in order to lead a happier and healthier life is not the same thing as creating legislation that shreds the First and Second Amendments.  Please tell me anything the GOP has done that even comes close to being as un-American and as reminiscent of Orwell’s ‘1984’as that which is euphemistically referred to as the Fairness Doctrine.  And please don’t mention the Patriot Act unless you, unlike every other liberal I have ever argued with, can point to a single freedom it has cost you or anyone you know.  Only a liberal would regard talk radio as propagandist, while, at the same time, insisting that CNN, MSNBC, all the three major networks, the New York Times, the Washington Post and USAToday, are honest and objective in their reporting.  It seems to me that the only thing that America’s liberal media has against the managed news we associate with the Soviet Union’s Pravda and the Islamic Al Jazeera is that they didn’t think of it first.  If I knew his name, I would happily give him credit, but someone on the radio recently suggested that mainstream media is a misnomer.  He said it should be called the downstream media because it’s filled with sewage and manure.

“In conclusion, let me just say that in spite of my being a conservative and Barack Hussein Obuma’s being a Marxist, I have only one major difference with the man who was born to be the president of Kenya.  He thinks that when it comes to being the leader of the free world, deciding when life begins is the only thing above his pay grade.  I, on the other hand, think everything is.”

Joe The Plumber


JOE (The Plumber) WURZELBACHER: "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more."

BARACK OBUMA: "It’s not that I want to punish your success. … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.  And I Think When You Spread The Wealth Around, It’s Good For Everybody.”

JOE WURZELBACHER: “I’m a plumber. You know, I work, you know, 10, 12 hours a day. If I buy another truck and add something else to it, and you know, build the company…”

OBUMA: “Right.”

WURZELBACHER: “… you know, I’m getting taxed more and more.”

OBUMA: “Nobody likes high taxes.”

WURZELBACHER: “No, not at all.”

OBUMA: “Right? Of course not. So — but what’s happened is, is that we end up — we’ve cut taxes a lot for folks like me who make a lot more than $250,000. We haven’t given a break to folks who make less. It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too. And everybody is so pinched that business is bad for everybody. And I think when you.... spread the wealth around, it’s good for EVERYBODY.” (FOX News’ “On The Record,” 10/13/08)


Warph:  I wonder what the wives of America's "Joe, the Plumbers" would say about Obuma's welfare package at the taxpayers expense to their hard working husbands?  I bet it would be something like this:  


"I’m sorry Obuma, but why on earth would you want to send Joe the Plumber money?  I don’t even think Joe wants your money.  My husband is ‘Joe the Plumber’ and both he and I would be horrified if we became some charity case and people sent us money.  The ‘Joe Plumbers’ of the USA work hard for their money, they pride themselves on being able to take care of their family, give some to their church, save a little and maybe have a few bucks left to do some fun things once in a while.  Joe Plumber doesn’t depend on money to make him happy.  He gets joy out of the small things in life.  Going to his kids ball game or his daughters ballet recital, going fishin’ on a Saturday morning with the kids, getting out with the wife once in a while.  Mostly, Joe Plumber loves to just come home after a hard days work, sit down at the dinner table, eat a good meal with his family, wrestle around with his kids for awhile, maybe watch a TV show or two on TV, tuck his kids in to bed at night then head off to bed with his wife and do it all again the next day. Joe Plumber spends one of his days off gettin’ up early on Sunday morning to get his family off to church on time where he throws a little bit of his hard earned money into the basket each week knowing that his money will be put to good use and help someone else in need or maybe his money in the basket will go to the youth group so they can go on a mission trip in the summer. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE JOE PLUMBER HAPPY!!  All he hopes for is that the work keeps coming and he can keep his house, feed and clothe his family and drive his cars.  If things get better for Joe financially he will add a little more in savings, put a little more in the basket on Sunday, maybe buy a few more things for his family.  The last thing Joe would ever want is for YOU to give him money!  He would say please if you must give money away, please give it to a charitable cause or please help somebody who has less than I do.  You will hurt Joe’s pride if you offer him money because he is 'JOE THE PLUMBER' and he works for everything he has and it is his his biggest most proudest accomplishment he will ever have in life!"



Warph: "Obuma wants to.....spread the wealth around, it’s good for EVERYBODY.” 
Leading papers call Obama’s taxes “welfare” … “government handouts.”:



The Wall Street Journal:  Calls Obama’s Numerous Refundable Tax Credits “Tens Of Billions Of Dollars In Government Handouts.” “For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase ‘tax credit.’” (Editorial, “Obama’s 95% Illusion,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/13/08)


Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “[T]he One-Third Of All American Working Families Who Pay No Income Taxes Now Will Receive A Government Check Under The Obama Plan. And That Number Could Rise To About 44 Percent Under Obama’s Proposal.” “The ‘tax-cut plan’ of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama is anything but. In fact, it’s nothing more than another liberaled-up wealth-transference program that, in the ‘old days,’ was known as welfare. … Just as troubling, however, is this little factoid: Even the one-third of all American working families who pay no income taxes now will receive a government check under the Obama plan. And that number could rise to about 44 percent under Obama’s proposal.” (Editorial, “Obama’s Tax Cut: New Welfare Deal,” Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 10/14/08)



New York Post: “Obama’s ‘Tax Cuts’ Really Amount To A Sizable Expansion Of Welfare.” “In truth, as The Wall Street Journal detailed yesterday, nearly all of those ‘cuts’ actually come in the form of ‘refundable tax credits,’ by which the government in effect writes a check to those who meet certain criteria - even if they don’t pay taxes in the first place. In other words, Obama’s ‘tax cuts’ really amount to a sizable expansion of welfare. That leaves American taxpayers to foot the bill - both directly, and through the lost economic opportunity that’s sure to follow Obama’s promised tax hikes on income, dividends and capital gains.” (Editorial, “Ready, Set … Spend!” New York Post, 10/14/08)


“Obama’s transformation: if you go by his campaign so far, would mean higher income taxes, higher Social Security taxes, higher investment taxes, higher corporate taxes, massive new domestic spending, and a healthcare plan that perhaps could be the next step to a full-scale, single-payer system. Is that what most Americans want, someone who will fulfill a Democratic policy wish list?” (“Barack Hussein Obama?”  U.S. News & World Report’s “Capital Commerce” Blog, http://www.usnews.com, 2/12/08)


Barack Obama Would Raise Capital Gains And Dividend Taxes: “Sen. Obama wants to raise the long-term capital-gains rate for families making more than $250,000 to around 20 percent or somewhat higher but not above the 28 percent level it reached during the Reagan presidency, an Obama economic adviser says. The same rate would apply to most dividend income for these investors.” (Tom Herman, “Tax Report Your Tax Bill: How McCain, Obama Differ,” The Associated Press, 6/18/08)


Tax Policy Center: Barack Obama Would Raise Taxes On One Out Of Every Three Senior Households. “Even though Senator Obama’s plan eliminates individual income taxes for seniors with incomes less than $50,000, his plan would raise taxes for almost 10 million senior households, over a third of the total (not shown in table). On average, seniors would face a tax increase of about 2 percent of income.” (Burman et al., “A Preliminary Analysis of the 2008 Presidential Candidates’ Tax Plans,” The Tax Policy Center, 6/11/08)


Tax Foundation: Seniors “Rely Most On The Stable Flow Of Income That Dividends Provide.” “Most debate over whether to extend the reduced rates on dividends and capital gains has focused on the tax benefits of these cuts to high-income taxpayers. What has been largely ignored is the impact these tax policies have on corporations’ decisions on how best to distribute their income to shareholders–including senior citizens, who rely most on the stable flow of income that dividends provide. A recent Tax Foundation analysis illustrated that a large number of those benefiting from dividends are seniors and those on the verge of retirement (See http://www.taxfoundation.org). A further analysis of these seniors earning dividends reveals that lower-income seniors who file tax returns depend more heavily on dividend income than high-income seniors.” (Gerald Prante, “The Importance Of Dividend Income For Low-Income Seniors,” Tax Foundation, http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/1354.html, 2/8/06)


Barack Obama Would Raise Income Taxes. Obama: “ would roll back the Bush tax cuts for those making over $250,000.” (Sen. Barack Obama, CNN Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Manchester, NH, 6/3/07)


U.S. Department Of Treasury: Small Business Owners “Are Frequently Subject To The Highest Individual Income Tax Rates.” “Changes in the individual income tax affect most businesses in the United States. That is because taxes on business earnings are often paid through the individual income tax when ‘passed-through’ to business owners. The business income from sole proprietorships, farm proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, etc., is all taxed at the owners’ individual income tax rates. This year 34 million business owners are expected to receive this type of income and pay tax on this income through the individual income tax. These businesses are typically small and often entrepreneurial in nature, and a source of innovation and risk-taking in the economy. Moreover, these business owners are frequently subject to the highest individual income tax rates.” (”Topics Related To The President’s Tax Relief,” U.S. Department Of Treasu ry, http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/reports/president_taxrelief_topics_0508.pdf, May 2008)


Barack Obama Would Raise Social Security Taxes. “Obama’s proposal … would impose social security taxes on income above $250,000 per year. He would continue to exempt income between $102,000 and $250,000 from social security taxes.” (Teddy Davis, Sunlen Miller, and Gregory Wallace, “Obama Kisses Billions Goodbye,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/18/08)

 

Warph:  Okay.... Barack Hussein Obuma has called for Higher Income Taxes, Social Security Taxes, Capital Gains And Dividend Taxes, And Corporate Taxes, As Well As 'Massive New Domestic Spending.' Obuma will also raise taxes on seniors, hard working families to give “welfare” to those who pay none. 

Hmmmmm..... just as I suspected, Obuma’s not truthful on taxes.  Enough said about Obuma's Marxist Tax-Welfare Plan!

Down the Rabbit Hole: What Political Label Are You?
These days, if you’re going to argue politics, it’s probably best to begin by defining terms.  For instance, sitting around the 19 hole, I often hear from conservatives who prefer to call themselves true liberals, while at the same time we have leftists calling themselves moderates, centrist or independents.  We also have people on the right calling other people on the right neo-cons and Rino's (Republicans in name only).  Instead of clearing anything up, all this constant labeling only serves to muddy the waters.  For all normal purposes, I think it suffices to say that if you’re going to vote for McCain and Palin, you’re a Republican, and if you’re going to vote for Obuma and Biden, you’re an idiot. 

I simply can’t comprehend why half of America is going to troop out like zombies on Nov. 4th and cast their votes for the most left-wing radical who has ever run for president without running..... like Norman Thomas, Eugene Debs, Eric Hass, Clifton DeBerry and Henning A. Blomen, as a Socialist; or, like Henry Wallace and Vincent Hallinan, as Progressives; or, like William Z. Foster, as a Communist.  The only one of them to ever collect even as many as a million votes was Wallace, in 1948, when Truman and Dewey split 46 million votes between the two of them.

So, what on earth has happened here in Wonderland that over 55 million Americans are prepared to cast their votes for a guy like Obuma?  How can anyone ignore what it says about the man’s character that he has maintained close relationships with people like Tony Rezko and William Ayers; attended a place of worship that was so hate-filled it was more like an Iranian mosque than an American church; and carried on the agenda of radical leftist Saul Alinsky as a community organizer and as counsel for ACORN.

Even if Obuma didn’t cart around so much baggage -- and, no, of course I’m not referring to Michelle (“I’ve never been proud of America”) Obuma -- why would any sane person want to entrust America’s well being to an unrepentant leftist?  These are the same people who want us to lose in Iraq just as they wanted us to lose in Vietnam and, before that, in Korea.  Obuma’s disciples are the children and grandchildren of the folks who didn’t want us fighting Nazism 70 years ago, once Stalin and Hitler signed their mutual non-aggression pact, but insisted we go to war just as soon as Germany invaded the Soviet Union.  They’re never for America, always siding with those opposed to us, be it the Communists in Cuba, China and Venezuela, or Islamic terrorists anywhere on earth, including all of Wonderland.

Although I’m aware of all the rumors floating around on the Internet, I’ve seen no compelling evidence that Obuma is a Muslim, although its probably there somewhere.   Frankly, though, I think he is something far worse -- a Jeremiah Wright version of a Christian, a racist who attended a church for 20 plus years, where he sat quietly and listened to a crazy bastard viciously attack white people, specifically white Christians, for a thousand Sundays.  And all the while, he was seated next to his wife, a woman who took advantage of affirmative action to attend a classy university paid for by your taxes and mine and then devoted her thesis to the proposition that the campus was a microcosm of racist America.  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

In conclusion, let me just say that even something as catastrophic as the nation’s current financial crisis has its funny side, thanks to liberals.  Consider Barack Hussein Obuma, a man who apparently regards gall, hypocrisy and arrogance, as the most important attributes in a leader, blaming everything on the GOP, even though it was John McCain who was calling for stronger regulations on Fannie Mae all along, while it’s Obuma who is joined at the hip with former Fannie Mae executives James Johnson and Franklin Delano Raines and Tim Howard; it’s Obuma who received thousands upon thousands of dollars in kickbacks from his chums at Fannie Mae; and it’s Obuma who, like FDR during the 1930s, is convinced that the way to resuscitate a failing economy is by increasing taxes.

But, in an attempt to be fair and balanced in placing the responsibility for the financial mess, I must admit it’s not entirely the fault of Sen. Obuma.  A lot of the blame goes to his good friend and political ally, Rep. Barney Frank (D).  He’s the fellow who not only turned a blind eye to the goings-on at Fannie Mae, but was in bed, both figuratively and literally, with the man he called his spouse, Herbert Moses, the one-time director of housing initiatives for Fannie Mae.

As Rep. Frank’s obvious role model, Porky Pig, was famous for saying, “Th-Th-That’s all, folks!”

If I Were President

Let me state for the record that I do not want to be president.  For one thing, I don’t want to move back to Washington DC because I hate cold weather.  For another, I make it a point to avoid any event that requires a suit and tie here of late, and, so far as I can tell, the president has to get dressed up to go to the bathroom.  Besides, the mere thought of having to spend time with people like Robert Byrd, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and Christopher Dodo, is enough to give me a migraine. However, if the only alternative to my having to take the job is for muslim marxist Barack Hussein Obuma to get it, I’ll make the sacrifice.

So, my question is, if I’m willing to give up nice weather and golf for the good of our beloved country, why isn’t John McCain at least willing to take off the kid gloves?  I haven’t seen this little energy since Fred Thompson dropped his hat in the ring.

It’s my own theory that the liberals have squawked so much about McCain’s alleged temper that his handlers have been driving home the message that the senator must remain cool, calm and collected.  That happens to be very professional and very predictable advice but, that doesn't sound like John 'Quick Tempered' McCain to me.  The only problem is that it’s also very stupid.  At a time when the American public wants to round up every politician, every CEO and every economic advisor who had anything to do with the current meltdown and hang their sorry carcasses from the tallest tree, McCain should be the guy screaming and hollering and carrying the rope.

Hell, Harry Truman got angrier at a music critic who gave his daughter Margaret a bad review... (God, I must be getting old to remember that one)... than McCain has gotten with the liberal crew who got us into this mess by pandering to poor people .... mainly blacks and Latinos.... by first buying their votes with absurd home loans, and then sticking the rest of us with almost a trillion dollar bill.

If I were John McCain, I would buy up an hour on all three networks and CNN, Fox and MS/NBC.  I would walk on stage and announce, “I’ve fired all my handlers. Anyone who needs to be told what to say and how to say it by a bunch of high-priced media wonks doesn’t deserve to be president of the United States.”

Next, I would say that Sarah Palin is my choice for vice-president not because she’s a woman, but because she’s the best person for the job, because of her values, her character and her brains and because she is a "Now Generation" person, intouch with today's America.  “But,” I would go on, “the voters deserve to know as much as possible about the judgment of a man who wants to be their leader.  So, although your president doesn’t and shouldn’t have handlers, he does have advisors.  These would be mine…Secretary of State Newt Gingrich, Secretary of the Treasury Mitt Romney, Attorney General Rudy Giuliani…” As I read off the names of my entire cabinet, I would have each of them join me on stage, and after introducing Secretary of Defense Joe Lieberman, I would say, “This is my team, America.”

Then, I would go on to announce that during my first week in the Oval Office, I would instruct Attorney General Giuliani to investigate and, wherever possible, indict anyone who played a role in the sub-prime scandal.  I would go on to say that I was instructing the Justice Department to bring RICO charges against ACORN for engaging in an ongoing criminal conspiracy to suborn the election process in America.

I would also ask Congress to make sexual crimes against children a capital offense.

I would then devote the remainder of the hour to my undistinguished opponent.  I would say that liberals keep insisting that attempts to connect Barack Hussein Obuma to the unsavory likes of Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Father Pfleger, Saul Alinsky, William Ayers and ACORN, is nothing more or less than guilt by association.  I wouldn’t even try to deny it. Why would I bother?  After all, when a man is 47 years old and everyone and everything he’s been closely associated with, including even the church he attended for most of his adult life, is radical, corrupt or racist, most sensible Americans would agree with me that it’s a pattern, and not dismiss it as mere partisanship. 

Obuma, we keep being told, is brilliant.  But his brilliance seems to be that of a born con man.  He will turn on a dime and lie about anything from his place of birth to his relationship with native-born terrorists William Ayers and Mrs. Ayers, a fellow ex-member of the Weather Underground, Bernadine Dohrn.  For Obuma to claim that Ayers was just a guy who happened to live in his neighborhood, a fellow he hadn’t realized was a role model for Timothy McVeigh, is such a blatant lie that it amazes me that anyone, even such pinheads as Alan Colmes, Campbell Brown, Bill Maher and Chris Matthews, is buying it.

For one thing, even if Obuma was a kid when Ayers, Dohrn and their pals were bombing or trying to bomb the Pentagon, the Capitol Building and a New York police station, Ayers is a famous guy in Chicago -- and he never hid his light under a bushel, only his explosives.

However, the real point of the Obuma-Ayers relationship isn’t based on what Ayers was doing back in the 60s, but, rather, what he and his political protégé were doing just a few years ago.  We keep hearing Obuma’s defenders tell us that these two virtual strangers served on a couple of boards together.  They make them sound like Mother Teresa and Sister Kenny.  What they don’t get around to mentioning is that Ayers not only hosted the party kicking off Obuma’s political career in his living room, but that they served together on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a group headed up for six years by Barack Hussein Obuma.

I have no idea how the Annenberg Foundation thought its money would be spent, but I doubt if the guy who made his fortune as the publisher of Seventeen and TV Guide, and was a pal of Ronald Reagan, had any idea that millions that were supposed to be used to improve Chicago’s schools would have some of it funneled off to Mike Klonsky, a founder of the Maoist Party of America; some to ACORN’s coffers; and some to Obuma’s political war chest.

Even the money that theoretically went towards education was used by Ayers and Obuma to promote their left-wing agenda.  It was Ayers’ stated purpose that the schools infuse students and their parents with a radical political commitment that downplayed achievement tests in favor of activism.  Ayers, who got word of his first teaching job while in jail for leading a draft board sit-in, and who has proudly identified himself as “a radical leftist, a small ‘c’ communist,” has clearly defined his approach to education:  “Teachers should be community organizers dedicated to providing resistance to American racism and oppression.”

As the hour ended, I would conclude by saying, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ayers for explaining the actual duties and responsibilities of a community organizer.  Until now, we had been led to believe that the position called for a combination of Jesus Christ and Superman.  Now we know that any anti-American small ‘c’ communist twerp can handle the job.  Of course I’m not suggesting that just because Mr. Ayers hates our country and that, while discussing his past terrorist activity, said that his only regret is that he didn’t set off more bombs, we should assume the worst about Sen. Obuma.  After all, when they last sat on the Annenberg Challenge board together, marxist Barack Hussein Obuma was a mere tot, barely 40 years old.”

No Security Clearance for Obuma


When in the Military I carried a top secret security clearance with SCI, then one for civilian work, and over the years, I also applied for other jobs requiring even higher levels of clearance.  I well remember all the very detailed answers to all sorts of questions I was expected to provide--where was I born and when, was I an American citizen, my parents names, and where they were born, their citizenship status, and--I believe--my grandparents, too, the addresses of all the places I had ever lived, all of the educational institutions-kindergarten through graduate school--that I had ever attended, along with names of my teachers, copies of my high school and college transcripts, my credit and financial background, a list of all the things I had published, a list of all of the organizations I had ever joined or were involved on, was I a 'Communist or a member of any other radical organization that advocated the overthrow of the United States government?,'  all the jobs I had had, a list of all my friends and associates during the course of my entire life, my religion, information on my wife, children and any marriages or divorces, any medical, psychiatric or drug problems I might have had, a list of character witnesses, ...etc..... etc.
 
I remember a friend of mine, who had worked at one of intelligence agencies in Washington, that didn’t like the kinds of friends he “palled around with” and he was told to cut his ties with them or he would lose his clearance and, thus, his job: he left the agency.
 
Here's my point.... Obuma has denied, obscured, lied about, or stalled answering about the most basic aspects of his life, starting with his birthplace and whether he is a “natural born citizen” of the U.S., his religious upbringing, his membership in various radical organizations, his friends, associates and associations; the list is almost infinite and any thorough or even half-assed security investigation would turn up numerous lies, gaps, discrepancies and red flags.
 
A Newsmax survey Oct. 23, of key Obama aspects of Obama’s public and private life continued to be shielded from the public.
 
Among the examples: (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_secrecy/2008/10/22/143157.html)

** Obama has released just one brief document detailing his personal health. McCain, on the other hands, released what he said was his complete medical file totaling more than 1500 pages. After criticism on the matter, last week the Obama campaign also released some routine lab-test results and electrocardiograms for Obama. All test results appeared normal, but many details about his health remain a mystery.

** Obama has refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois, and has been unable to produce correspondence, such as letters from lobbyists and other correspondence from his days in the Illinois state senate. There are also no appointment calendars available of his official activities. “It could have been thrown out,” Obama said while on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary. “I haven’t been in the state Senate now for quite some time.”

** Obama has not released his client list as an attorney or his billing records. Obama has maintained that he only performed a few hours of legal work for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago businessman convicted of fraud in June. But he has not released billing records that would prove this assertion.

** Obama won’t release his college records from Occidental College where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia.

** Obama’s campaign refuses to give Columbia University, where he earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his transcripts. Such transcripts would list the courses Obama took, and his grades. President George W. Bush, and presidential contenders Al Gore and John Kerry, all released their college transcripts. (McCain has refused to release his Naval Academy transcript.)

** Obama’s college dissertation has simply disappeared from Columbia Universities archives. In July, in response to a flurry of requests to review Obama’s senior thesis at the Ivy League school, reportedly titled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told NBC News “We do not have a copy of the course paper you requested and neither does Columbia University.”

** The senator has not agreed to the release of his application to the Illinois state bar, which would clear up intermittent allegations that his application to the bar may have been inaccurate.

** Jim Geraghty of the National Review has written extensively about Obama’s unwillingness to release records related to clients he represented while he was an attorney with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill, and Gallard. Obama was required to list his clients during his years in the Illinois senate. “Obama listed every client of the firm,” Geraghty reported, making it impossible to discern which clients he represented.

** Obama has never released records from his time at Harvard Law School. Is Obama Hiding Harvard Law School Records?  Who supported him?

** Obama also has not disclosed the names of small donors giving $200 or less to his campaign. An exception to the finance-reporting laws exempts the campaign from reporting those who donate less than $200, but that law never envisioned the more than $300 million that has been raised by Obama in small amounts. (Now we know why Obuma didn't take any federal funds for his campaign.... fraudulent donations in fake names and addresses..... no telling how much of these small funds came from the middle east.  Obama Hiding Source of $300 Million Donations..... Al Qaeda?  Saudi's?  Hamas?  Hezballah?..... Warph)     The Republican National Committee has released its small donors, as well as McCain’s, on a public database..
 

Again, the point of all this being, Obuma has not convincingly, completely or honestly answered even the most basic questions about himself, his background, life history, his activities,his actions and his votes as first, a State Senator and then, as the Junior U.S.Senator from Illinois, about his friends, associates or associations, nor been candid about his fundamental view of the world and his ideology.
 
Taking just the friends, (Bill Ayers; Ayer's wife Bernardine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, etc...) associations (Rev. Jeremiah Wright, etc....) and activities (ACORN, Mob Connections as clients, etc....), that--despite Obuma and the MSM’s best efforts--have come to light, it is obvious that Obuma would not be able to qualify for even the lowest of security clearances: a casual security investigation would have ruled him out IMMEDIATELY.  And here Obuma sits, 10 days away from being granted access to all of the most secret information held by the entire U.S. government and all it’s military and intelligence agencies.
 
Is Obuma a person who has proved himself to be honest and candid enough, who we know enough about or should trust enough, to give him that total and complete access?
 
I say, HELL NO!  Only a fool would vote for him to be President of the United States!

Scenario ..........
Someone ( not someone running for President.. but just a man and his wife and 2 little girls) named Barry ..moved in next door to you ..bought their house..seemed like wonderful people. dressed nicely.. kept their place nice and neat.. You liked them'.

Then....you find out that a person was great friends with a man who was listed as an American terrorist... and you even find out that this close friend (whose name was William)  of your neighbor had actually bombed the Pentagon and wasn't sorry he did it.. and he would liked to have done more??!!??....  And was holding meetings with your neighbor and coming and going form his house. . and they were setting on several boards with together..working. .

This makes you very very uncomfortable..and scared about what and who this person is that is in your neighborhood living next door to you. You start to ask around about him . Can't find out anything much. He says he was born in Hawaii.. but you find out that the birth certificate could be a fraud because you have a friend that works for the government who lives in Hawaii and  he said that the certificate that has Barry's name on it.. ISN"T the kind of certificate that was used when Barry was born. They only started to use the newer forms later after that. ( He should know.. he works in that department)

You watch constantley ..wondering if you are safe and just WHO IS THIS MAN..who has a dazzling smile and seems to charm all that cross his path. ..And He DOES seem to be a likable guy. And  you see that this person goes to church ( heard he has gone religiously to the same church for over 20 years.)  so you decide he can't be all bad.. And you decide go to his church  for a Sunday. There you find a church so filled with hate for the people of your race..for the country you love and for which your family has fought for...  The screaming of rage coming from the pulpit.. is not of God at all. You leave very frightened and confused.
Is THIS what makes up this man?

  You also watch and dig further and find out it is publicly stated that your neighbor is good friends and runs with the mafia type person  named Tony who actually owns the other house on the other side of this new neighbor.. LOTS of money and lots of unsavory and shady characters coming and going. And that your neighbor hasn't done much with his law carreer life ..but work in the slums of Chicago and be the legal lawyer for a couple of shady nonprofit organizations.
Then all of a sudden you look out your window and this Tony guy is going to jail. The news and papers said it is for fraud. ( And you once again remember that this is one of the neighbors good friends and business associates.

When  you ask Barry about his friends ( in a round about way) he smiles and tells you not to worry.. That what you are seeing and hearing and what has been documented.. is all lies. And HE NEVER heard his paster say anything bad about anyone.. That you must have been mistaken.. Not to worry he tells you..That you can trust him ..and to prove it to yourself.. why don't you just give him the keys to your house and access to all that is yours.... better yet you sign a piece of paper so that you can  have him and some of his helpers make all the the decisions about where your kids will go to school.. and what kind of health care you should have.. and don't forget... he says to you with a smile...it is for the betterment of everyone. **flashing that perfect white smile**
You ask if you do this.. will we be safe and protected.. What about war etc..
He said that the people that hate us and want to destroy our existence  are not to be feared. He will "talk to them' . He is sure that they will agree to play nice and not be a threat any longer.
What about maybe we could help ourselves and have a gun for protection you ask him..
 He said , " no need to have guns around . we will beef up our police and you will be safe". I will make sure that no one has those nasty guns to hurt anyone anymore"

And then he really sweetens the pot and says..
" I will give you money and leave it in your mailbox for you."  You perk up at this.... but then he adds.......
Unless.. of course.. you make more than what I think is appropriate.. and if you work too hard and have too much money and success.. I am still your good friend and neighbor.. BUT.. I am afraid that I am going to have to take a large portion of that and give it to the people who didn't take the time to work hard or to go get an education.. or to try to better themselves and start a business. Everyone likes pie...They need and want some of that pie too.. so I'm sure you will come around to seeing that you can trust me with everything. All you have to do is go out work hard so we can spread some of that wealth around..and take some of your time and do some free work in your community.. That will make you feel better about yourself and make the world a better place. IF you do that.. Everything will be all straightened out in a few years. . Trust me.. I only have the best of interest for you.

Now ..
you going to just hand over the keys to your house?  Are you going to want to go over to his house and have dinner and try to become close to him.  If you have kids.. you going to let them go over there and spend the night and play with their kids?
 Do YOU and CAN YOU HONESTLY tell me that you wouldn't be shitting all over yourself wondering if you should be moving.. or what kind of person had moved next door to you?  I would. I would be watching out my curtains every time someone pulled up to his house.

But you are willing to give him access to everything that this country has and trust him with it.??!!? ??!!
If you can say that none of this bothers you..and you wouldn't check it out if he was your next door neighbor.. .. then I personally think you need serious mental help.

Think about it.

We would screen ours kids friends and  our neighbors more than people are screening the next President of our great country.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money."  I laughed. 

Once in the restaurant my server had on a necktie that read "Obama 08".  Again I laughed - just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.  He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy outside.  The server angrily stormed from my sight.


I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more.  The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. 

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. 

Or is it . . . that THE REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT IDEA . . . a political game played upon unsuspecting, ignorant Americans by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. . . who learned the game from Karl Marx.

If you vote for Barack Hussein Obuma, this will be the ONE you picked to become President of the United States.  God help us if this destructive Clown, who will tear down America to a second rate nation, is elected President!

      Marxist Obuma's American Dream

To Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008, that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted.   While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
 
The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008, that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously admitted.   In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year.   The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly.  While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008, about 'race' contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America .   While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.
 
In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without 'preparations' at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin ... while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered 'I would' to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without 'any' preconditions.  While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the  USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.

On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work.   While your judgement about military strategy as a potential commander-in-chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.

You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal, while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately ... not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim.  While your judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar .. and it failed.  The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate.  You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party.  While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth
 
In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a 'Captain' of a platoon in Afghanistan 'the other day' when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan.  You lied in that debate.

In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a 'professor of Constitutional law' when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law.  In this last debate, you were careful to say that you 'taught a law class' and never mentioned being a 'professor of Constitutional law.'  You lied last spring.

You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right ...  corn is too expensive at producing ethanol,  and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food.   You distorted the truth.
 
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden.   You lied to America .
 
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural.  You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected.   While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.
 
You did not take an active role in the rescue plan.  You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of today .. and they all made major contributions to your campaign.   While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.
 
You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn.  Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions.  Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns.  You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you.  While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .
 
During your campaign, you said: 'typical white person.'  'They cling to their guns and religion.'  'They will say that I am black.'  You played the race card.  You tried to label any criticism about you as racist.  You divide America .
 
You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions.   You have requested close to $1 billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn.   Your social programs will cost America $1 trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it.   While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America .
 
The drain to America 's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in  Iraq is $100 billion (less than 1% of GDP).  You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities.  Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear.  You are lying to America .
 
Mr. Obama, you claimed that you 'changed' your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004.   The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008  spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org).   You are lying to America .
   
Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA   They eliminated religion from our history.  They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade.  They bring their personal politics into the classrooms.  They disparage conservatives.  They brainwash our children.  They are in it for themselves ..... not America .    Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans?  You are deceiving America .

Oh, Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else. 
Your character looks horrible.  While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric.  You talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.
     
1.  You lied to America .  You lied many times.  You distorted facts.  You parsed your answers like a lawyer.

2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.
   
3.  You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.
 
4.  You divide America about race and about class.
   
Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and associations to John McCain:   War hero.  Annapolis graduate with 'Country first.'   Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy officer for 22 years.  26 years in the Senate.  Straight talk.  Maverick.  54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats.  Never asked for an earmark.  The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
 
Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School , you learned that the end does not justify the means.  You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated.  Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming.  Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton.  Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character.   It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty. 

Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character.  Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches?   Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain?   Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview?  Of course not.  So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest?  Why do they excuse your dishonesty?   Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security .... and you are preying on their fears with empty promises  ... and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for 'change' like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932  The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was.   They loved his style.  Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty ... but many of us see you for who you really are   ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day,  forever if it is necessary.
   
Mr. Obama, you are dishonest.  Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.
   
Mr.  Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.
   
Mr. Obama, you are not the 'change' that America deserves.  We cannot trust you.

Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander-in-chief.

Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements.  And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and generally dishonest character.  The media is diverting our attention from your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships.   The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those men lied about the events ...  false witness ... perjury ..  your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.
 
Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late.  We need to do the job that the media will not do. 

We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.

Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve.  And God help America if we deserve you.

I don’t know how many of you are old enough to remember “To Tell the Truth,” a TV game show on which three contestants tried to convince a panel that each of them was the one telling the truth about himself when in fact two of them were lying.  Lately, the democrats have been reminding me a lot of those two contestants.  Instead of competing for small cash prizes, though, these hack politicians are vying for votes.

For instance, Barney Frank, who has always looked and talked like a cartoon character, (my pick is Elmer Fudd), has begun behaving like one.  He keeps insisting that he had nothing to do with the sub-prime debacle.  He bases this outlandish claim on the fact that the democrats were in the minority on the House Finance Committee until January 31, 2007, when he became the chairman.  Even if we choose to overlook the obvious fact that he did nothing to avert the disaster during the year-and-a-half he and his liberal colleagues held the reins, the truth is that the democrats brought on the financial catastrophe by forcing the major lenders to do business with black and Hispanic deadbeats, and by intimidating the gutless Republicans on the Committee with threats of outing them as racists if they didn’t play ball.

But when it comes to lying, even ol' Barney Frank, formerly at the epicenter of a homosexual prostitute ring in Washington, can’t compare with Joe Biden.  But, then, neither could Pinocchio or Baron von Munchhausen.  When you realize that the vice-presidential debate took only 90 minutes, and that Gwen Ifill and Sarah Palin used up roughly 50 minutes with their questions and answers,  Sen., Biden had a mere 40 minutes in which to cram in over a dozen lies.  It’s one of those mind-boggling records, like Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, that may never be broken.

For openers, Biden is NOT in favor of clean coal as an alternate fuel.  Barack Hussein Obuma stated last night in his goofy informical that he IS in favor of clean coal as an alternate fuel.  But Biden has voted against its use every chance he’s had during his 36 years in the Senate.  Those two Clowns just cannot seem to get it together.
 
And while I don’t know in what cave Biden has been hiding, he must be the only person in America who didn’t hear Barack Hussein Obuma state that, without any preconditions, he would sit down with Mahmud Ahmadinejad.  But that was only after he informed us that Iran was a 'tiny' country and in no way a dangerous one.  Furthermore, instead of presuming to inform Gov. Palin that Ahmadinejad is not really Iran’s head honcho because it’s a theocracy, he should have mentioned it to his running mate, inasmuch as Obuma never mentioned sitting down with the mullahs.

When Biden said that McCain, like Obuma, voted against funding the troops, he lied, knowing full well that McCain only refused to vote for the funding bill so long as it was tied to a 'timeline for withdrawal.'  Leave it to the democrats to tell the Islamic terrorists to hang tough because, come hell or high water, we’ll be gone on a certain date.

They may not know how to wage war, but they sure know how to wage defeat.

Biden also lied when he said that McCain would raise taxes on people’s health insurance, and when he announced that Gen. David McKiernan said that principles of the surge could not be employed in Afghanistan, and again when he insisted that we spend more money in three weeks fighting in Iraq than we’ve spent altogether in Afghanistan.

Finally, Biden lied when he claimed that McCain weakened the regulations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But perhaps that wasn’t exactly a lie.  Maybe he just confused John McCain with Barney Frank or Maxine Waters because they look so much alike.

It’s not easy determining which of the numerous lies Biden rattled off in his allotted time was the most blatant, but my vote would probably go to his claim that he didn’t vote to authorize the war in Iraq.  If I remember correctly, his explanation was that he was only authorizing President Bush to continue seeking a diplomatic solution, although it would be the first time in history that a president has ever required a vote in order to conduct diplomacy.  I swear I could actually see Biden’s nose growing after that one.

My biggest laugh of the debate came when Biden, who lives in a very large house in a very pricey part of Delaware, suddenly tried to pass himself off as a regular guy talking about the middle-class folks in his neighborhood and his homies down at the local Home Depot. The truth is, a family of five could eat for a year on what this man has spent on hair plugs and having his teeth painted.

So far as I can tell, the only difference between the democrats and Burger King is that Biden and friends don’t offer Cokes and fries with their whoppers.

Obuma: A Man Who Manages to make Hillary Clinton Look Good
I get a big kick out of democrats insisting that the Republicans should concentrate on the issues instead of focusing on barack Hussein obuma’s own words and affiliations.  They call it negative campaigning.  It reminds me of the book "Truman," when in 1948, the crowds would exhort Harry Truman to give the Republicans hell: “I don’t give them hell,” he replied, “I just tell the truth and the Republicans think it’s hell.”

According to the democrats, nobody is supposed to mention barack Hussein obama’s hostility to his own white relatives; his black hate-mongering religious mentor; his political alliance with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers; his work with Saul Alinsky’s cadre; his financial aid to 'ACORN'; his ties to Chicago fixer Tony Rezko; and his affiliation with the Annenberg Challenge, which, under the cover of promoting education in Chicago, promoted left-wing activism.

When you get down to obuma’s actual record, his obvious dedication to black separatism and to Karl Marx’s dream of redistributing wealth, you begin to understand why some of us regard him as the worst sort of demagogue, and why our collective skin crawled when John McCain called him a gentleman, a good family man, and assured us that we’d have nothing to fear from an obuma presidency.  Ol' John almost lost me on that one.  It had me wondering whom McCain was planning to vote for on November 4th.  If a cynical racist like barack Hussein obuma could receive such high marks, virtually an endorsement, from his opponent, I figured David Duke must be kicking himself that he never thought to run as a democrat.

Although the economy is front and center at this moment, what happens next January if Iran drops the bomb on Tel Aviv or if the Islamics bring down the Empire State Building or the Sears Tower or Golden Gate Bridge?  Believe me, nobody’s going to be talking about Ben Bernanke, and nobody in his right mind is going to want the man who is eager to sit down and chat with Mahmud Ahmadinejad or who sees a moral equivalency between Israel and her Islamic enemies seated in the Oval Office.

obuma is a man who sees taxes as a neat way to rob Peter to pay Paul, who wants us to contribute 50 billion dollars-a-year to the U.N. to fight world poverty on top of the many billions we already give it, and who, instead of favoring English as our official language, insists we should all learn to speak Spanish, a language that neither he nor mrs. obuma can speak.

The problem is that the only thing standing between obuma, the worst possible presidential candidate, a man who manages to make Hillary Clinton look good, and the White House is John McCain, the worlds worst campaigner.  There are high school kids all over America who are running better races for sophomore class president.  I'm beginning to wonder if he's going to carry Arizona, his home state.

I mean, when obuma keeps parroting the line about McCain’s having voted 90% of the time with George Bush, how hard should it be for McCain to point out that obuma voted even more often than that, 96% with the likes of nancy pelosi, harry reid, christopher dodo, john kerry and barney 'Elmer the Fudd' frank -- and, what’s more, got huge kickbacks from his grateful cronies at Fannie Mae?   In 1948, Harry Truman ran against Congress even harder than he ran against Tom Dewey, and Congress 60 years ago was a lot more popular than the current version.

It was one thing for barack Hussein obuma, a man born to sell swampland to suckers, to pretend that ACORN was just a charitable organization doing good works when his campaign gave them $800,000.... $800,00 big ones, people... but now that we know that ACORN is nothing but a gang of punks and thugs whose sole purpose is to steal the election on his behalf, obuma has, in the immortal words of Desi Arnaz, a lot of ‘splaining to do.'  And since we know the media hacks won’t ask him, it’s up to John McCain to hold his feet to the fire.  Good luck on that.

Hell, If I were McCain, I’d start out by asking obuma if he thinks ACORN or that other famous community organization, the 'Mafia,' is the more dangerous group.  I, personally, have more respect for the Mafia.  After all, they favor capitalism over socialism, they genuinely like America, they don’t try to destroy the election process and, what’s more, they dress a lot better, favoring camelhair coats over those corny red sweatshirts.

Heaven knows, I’ve done all I can.  Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber have done all they can do.  Now it’s up to John McCain to prove that he hasn’t placed a big bet on the other guy.  Unlike Marlon Brando's Terry Malloy in “On the Waterfront,” he can’t go through life moaning about his fate, claiming he could have been a contender.  He is a contender.  The question is whether he has what it takes to knock out this lightweight in the final round and take home the title.

The Right Will Rise Again

On the eve of the presidential election, I have a few last thoughts I’d like to share.  I will try and not make this too long-winded .
 
First off, I keep hearing people say they don’t know Barack Hussein Obuma, America's number #1 con man.  Oddly enough, I don’t think I’ve ever known a presidential candidate nearly so well.  I may not have seen his birth certificate or his medical records, but I’ve certainly heard his words, his wife’s words and his pastor’s words, and I feel they’ve told me all I need to know about this demagogue.

I know that he believes in the Marxist principle of sharing the wealth, and I know that doesn’t refer to his own wealth, but to everybody else’s.  I know that he shares Mrs. Obama’s lack of pride in America, and that, in his gut, he believes America is a racist nation.

I know he shares Rev. Wright’s hatred of white people.  Because he depends on their votes, he keeps that belief under wraps, but it certainly comes through loud and clear in his books.

I know that the people he surrounds himself with, people like Wright, Father Pfleger, Louis Farrakhan, Tony Rezko and Bill Ayres, are vile.  And the ones whom he is forced by circumstance to be allied with, people like Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Murtha and Elmer Fudd, are not much better.

Because even his disciples realized that Sen. Obuma can barely identify such places as Iraq, Syria, Israel and Afghanistan, on the map, he selected an old political hack like Pinocchio Joe Biden as his running mate.  Pinocchio Joe  was supposed to supply the foreign affairs expertise Obama lacked.  The man has plenty of experience, but the problem is that he has always been wrong.  Just one major example was his vote against Desert Storm.  He would have gladly stood by while Saddam Hussein took over the oil fields of Kuwait.  He never has bothered to explain his reasoning, but when it only takes about 200,000 votes to be a senator from Delaware, I guess all it takes to be elected are hair plugs and painted teeth.

It occurs to me that politicians continue, as a matter of P.R., to refer themselves as public servants.  They are the only servants in the history of mankind to not only make more money than their masters, but are the ones who insist on giving all the orders.

Because we saw this election as the most important in our lifetime, I cast my ballot several weeks ago.  I wanted to be certain that my vote would count even if I died in the meantime.  It’s nothing new.  Hell, dead Democrats have been casting votes for years and, thanks to ACORN and complicit state governments, they still are.  ACORN even registers cartoon characters.  In one case,( Elmer Fudd from Massachusetts) there’s even an example of a cartoon character who managed to get elected to Congress.

It astounds me that Democrats continue to paint Republicans as plutocrats when kazillionaires like Kennedy, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Kerry, Clinton and even a guy named Rockefeller, sit in the Senate, and people like George Soros, Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, fill their coffers.  I used to wonder why Soros, a bottom-feeder who made his fortune in the sleazy business of currency trading, would align himself with the far left wing of the Democratic party.  Then, one day, it occurred to me that John Howard Lawson, who used to run the Communist Party in Hollywood, as a man who was born to run a gulag.  I now believe that Soros sees himself as a honcho in a new Soviet United States, a man in charge of the men who would run the gulags.

I just read that former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger said that Sarah Palin is not only unqualified to become president on short notice, but that even after some time in office would make, at best, an adequate commander in chief.  What a shame he wasn’t half as prescient when he was secretary of state.  I wonder what evaluation he would give to President George H.W. Bush, the man under whom he served, the man who, by the way, was the only president since 1980 not to be re-elected to a second term.

Finally, it occurs to me that former Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers didn’t really stop planting bombs in the 1960s, after all.  As a matter of fact, the biggest bomb he set off was the O-bomb in the mid-90s, when he hosted the kick-off to Barack Hussein Obuma’s political campaign.

Some Past Annoyances

Periodically, I find random thoughts running amok in my head, and the only way I have ever found to get any peace is to jot them down so that they can go run amok in someone else’s head.

For instance, how is that individuals and corporations are constantly forking over big bucks to motivational speakers?  I mean, am I the only person in America who always thought having to pay off a mortgage was as much motivation as I could handle?

Next, I’d like to know at what point did any hint of true religious tolerance become a threat to the fabric of our society?  All the fuss that some folks make over Christmas wreaths and little bitty crosses on city seals strikes me as both outrageous and very silly.  It’s embarrassing, really.  Who are these lunkheads who are so eager to make a court case out of something that’s none of their business?  I always find myself wondering how empty their lives must be to have the time to waste on such matters.  What’s next?  No more December airings of “Christmas Carol” on TV?

It’s odd that these same screwballs don’t seem to have a problem with Halloween, a pagan ritual which has become, I’m told, the second most celebrated holiday in America.  Apparently, it’s only Christianity and Judaism that sets them off.  Sacrifice a goat, puff some peyote or paint pentagrams on your floor, and it’s hunky dory with this crowd.

I hate to give these narrow-minded, joyless, bigots any ideas, but, frankly, I’m surprised that, considering their antipathy to “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” on our currency, they haven’t yet taken up arms against Sunday.  Why, after all, should Sunday be any more special than Thursday?  Why should Sunday be a day of rest, while Monday is stuck being a day of toil?  Clearly, the only reason that Sunday is different from Wednesday is because God said so in the Bible!  I mean, how did the busybodies in the ACLU let that one slip past them?

Another thing that annoyed me no end a few years back was France’s Jacques Chirac. You remember him -- good friend of John Kerry, no doubt one of those anonymous foreign leaders who wanted to see him elected and moral arbiter for America’s lefties.  What you might not know is that this is the same Jacques Chirac who back in the 1970s brokered the deal that gave Saddam Hussein his nuclear reactor, along with a plentiful supply of high grade plutonium.  It’s true that France initially balked at handing over the plutonium, but when Hussein threatened to cut off France’s supply of cheap oil, Chirac and France folded like a bad soufflé.  This was the reactor that Israel destroyed, much to France’s annoyance, in 1981.  See video of Israeli jets destroying the reactor:



While we’re on the subject of Iraq, remember their Olympic athletes?  In Athens, some of them actually said that if they weren’t so busy competing for medals, they’d be back home with their friends and relatives trying to kill the Americans.  Well, considering how they fared in Greece, Saddam's "off with their heads" son Uday reminded them how also-rans were usually greeted when they failed to bring home the gold.

On a personal note, I’d like to mention a recent experience.  I was invited to attend a party celebrating an old friend’s many years in Congress.  He’s a democrat, but nobody’s perfect.

Anyway, the day of the party, it was mentioned that my old chum, along with several of his like-minded colleagues, was planning to conduct an investigation of FoxNews because of its alleged bias in reporting the news.  So, when I arrived, I made a point of taking my friend aside and asking him to explain himself.  The constitutional guarantee of a free press aside, I told him that I watched Fox pretty often, and I knew that Bill O’Reilly not only invited people of all political persuasions aboard, but invariably let them have the last word.  In the hour following O’Reilly’s show, we have Hannity and Colmes.  Sean Hannity is as conservative as they come, but his co-host is equally far to the left.  And their show, too, is as likely to have a guest list that includes Howard Dean and Al Sharpton as Alexander Haig and Newt Gingrich.

What could be fairer than that?  I don’t see Bill Maher or Al Franken welcoming the opposition to debate the issues.  The liberals are only comfortable when they’re bleating to the choir.

So, where, I asked my old chum, is the bias?  What’s the beef?

He replied, “Well, those are opinion shows.  It’s Fox’s news coverage that stinks.”

I asked the congressman for a for instance.

“For instance,” he replied, “they’re always saying that the Republicans are great and the democrats are terrible.”

“Well,” I said, mulling it over, “actually that sounds like pretty objective reporting to me.”

My friend chuckled, but I could tell he didn’t have his heart in it.

“Okay,” I said, ever ready to compromise in good faith, “if you feel you have to investigate FoxNews for slanting their news coverage, go for it.  But when you’ve finished up with them, I trust you’ll then turn your attention to CNN, MSNBC, NPR, all three major networks, the New York Times, the L.A. Times and the Washington Post.  Or is it only the exception to the rule that bears looking into?”

At which point, one of us went off to receive congratulations on passing laws and helping to run the country, and one of us went off in desperate need of a drink.

It’s been a while now since the election took place, but it’s still not easy for me to come to grips with it.  Strangely enough, I slept okay the night I learned that Barack Obama had defeated John McCain.  It was only when I awoke and realized that Sen. Obama would soon be President Obama that the nightmare began.  I truly felt overcome with grief, the kind you feel when a loved one dies.  In this case, the loved one was America.

I have been listening to conservative commentators on radio trying to put a good face on it.  At times, they’ve sounded like they’re angling for the same White House dinner invitations they got from George Bush.  But perhaps they’re just hoping if they do enough kissing up, they can somehow dissuade the Democrats from passing the misnamed Fairness Doctrine.  I think they might as well expect that Al Gore and Robert Kennedy, Jr., will acknowledge that global warming has been a gargantuan hoax.

Liberals, after all, never admit their mistakes, never take responsibility for, say, destroying public education or taking an axe to the black family structure.  But, then, liberals never take responsibility for anything.  If they did, they’d be conservatives.

I know that a lot of Republicans are busy playing the blame game.  Some, myself included, are pointing fingers at John McCain for running the lamest presidential campaign in memory.  Others, not I, are pointing at Sarah Palin, while a few are singling out Mike Huckabee, suggesting that if he had dropped out when he should have, Mitt Romney would have won the primaries, thus preventing McCain from getting to do his dead-on impression of Michael Dukakis.

Some people simply blame the economy for Obama’s victory.  They may be right, but I’d prefer not to believe that a sizable number of Americans think that electing a Socialist is a really clever way to solve a financial crisis.

Many of my friends and colleagues are already looking to 2012, vowing to learn from the mistakes of this campaign.  Perhaps in four years, I’ll find a reason to share their optimism, but, frankly, I doubt it.  When I look at the election numbers, I see no reason to believe that things will improve by then.  After all, in spite of hearing how brilliant, how inspiring, how charismatic -- and how I hate hearing that word applied to a politician! -- Obama is, he’s the same guy whose friends, wife and religious mentor, combined with his nearly blank resume, should have kept him in the Illinois state legislature with all the other Chicago-based grifters.

The numbers, I’m afraid, tell the tale.  When it came to young voters, 69% went for Obama; Jews, 78%; blacks, 96%; Catholics, 54%; Hispanics, 67%; females, 56%; 90% of Muslims.  When you factor in birth rates, I’m not sure that in 2012, Republicans will get more votes than Libertarians.

Looking back, I think the left-wing cancer took root in the 1960s and the funeral took place on November 4th 2008.  That’s why I’m having a really hard time putting up with people who are so darn jubilant about Obama’s victory.  To me, it’s as if they’re dancing on America’s grave.

I know that a lot of people will regard me as a racist for being so depressed over the election result.  I am probably the least racist person in America.  As I’ve always said, people who hate others because of their race, religion or national origin, are just plain lazy. After all, once you get to really know people, there are always better reasons than that for despising them.

Besides, it does no good to deny being a racist.  Once you have to deny it, you’ve already been labeled.  But I have to ask, if Hillary Clinton had been elected president and I had been upset about it, would I be branded a misogynist?  The fact is, I would have been less upset if she had been elected.  But that’s only because I only object to her politics and her voice.  Her circle does not include the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Father Pfleger, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Louis Farrakhan and Rashid Khalidi.  Aside from Hillary Clinton’s colleagues in the Senate, her only questionable associate is Bill.

Now that American conservatives have become an endangered species, I’m wondering if Obama and his gang of compassionate liberals will give us the same consideration they give polar bears and snail darters.

One of my friends wondered how it could be that I wasn’t thrilled to see millions of black people, including Jesse Jackson and all of Kenya, in rapture over Obama’s victory.  I told him it’s one thing for Obama to garner 96% of the black vote when he’s running against a Republican such as John McCain, but quite another when he got 91% of the vote in the primaries when he was running against a liberal such as Sen. Clinton.  That, to me, reeks of racism, and I see no reason to celebrate it.

I went on to say that it often seems to me that it’s only conservatives who ever took to heart Martin Luther King’s fervent wish that we all learn to judge our fellow men by their character and not by the color of their skin.

I concluded by telling him that he had every reason to be ecstatic that a man who shared his politics was elected, but that Obama’s color shouldn’t enter into it, and that if I and many like me were disgruntled about the election, it had nothing to do with Obama’s pigmentation, everything to do with his character and his leftist agenda.  We elected a president, after all, the leader of the free world, not a prom king.

If there is one bright spot in all this, it’s that I won’t have to spend the next four years listening to John McCain begin every sentence with “My friends.”  The sad truth is, I pick my friends far more wisely than we pick our candidates or, for that matter, our presidents.

Whenever I refer to liberals as pinheads, chowderheads, morons and flakes, I can always count on angry responses.  Invariably, they will accuse me of stooping to insult them, instead of dealing with specific issues.

The fact is, I am always dealing with issues, be it the left’s adoration of the U.N.; their cockeyed belief in man-made global warming; their constant attacks on the first two amendments; their intolerance of Christian traditions and symbols, which, by the way, relies entirely on an intentional misreading of the Constitution, a document which does not and never has contained the words “separation of church and state” (generally traced to the letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists); their contempt for the U.S. military; the alleged supremacy of Islamic and illegal alien, rights; their opposition to capital punishment; their support of judges who legislate from the bench; and their affinity for professors and journalists who feel their duty is to indoctrinate rather than educate or report.

It’s only in the context of taking liberals to task that I ever make my ad hominem attacks. And please believe me, when I call them pinheads, lamebrains and ignoramuses, I honestly believe I am being kind and letting them off far easier than they deserve.  Would they really prefer traitors, Quislings and Communists?  If so, I’d be only too happy to oblige.

The truth is, it’s left-wingers who make a practice of evading the issues.  For instance, I have yet to have anyone on the left enumerate the rights he lost because of the Patriot Act.  I have yet to have any of them explain to me how it is that we invaded Iraq for oil but failed to confiscate even a single drop.  Also, I have never had a liberal name all those countries that hate America because of George Bush.  Even when I offer to help them get started by suggesting Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, North Korea and Cuba, they refuse to engage me.

I have also never had a leftist explain his love affair with socialism and communism, forms of tyranny which have led to unparalleled human misery wherever they have been introduced.  But, then, what sort of freedom lovers side with the PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah, against Israel and make cultural icons of Fidel Castro,Che Guevara and that fat clown, Cesar Chavez?

Silence is the same response I get when I have asked liberals, who allegedly favor honest elections, why they have never spoken out against ACORN, and why, although they pay lip service to free speech, people like David Horowitz and Ann Coulter require bodyguards when they appear on college campuses.  And why is it that liberals, who already control newspapers, magazines and TV, are pushing for the “Fairness Doctrine" in a blatant, fascistic, attempt to keep conservative voices off the radio?

What sort of people are they who will defend the rights of pornographers and pedophiles to promote themselves in the public marketplace, but feel entitled to banish the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager, High Hewitt, Dennis Miller, Sean Hannity, Michael Reagan, Laura Ingraham, Larry Elder and Bill O’Reilly, from the marketplace of ideas?

Liberals are in favor of open borders because they feel sorry for those people sneaking across.  It doesn’t occur to liberals that American citizens suffer from the influx of twenty million impoverished illiterates. They are not concerned with the drain on schools, hospitals, jobs and prisons, because what’s important for liberals is that they feel good about themselves.  It’s a unique type of selfishness because it’s disguised as an altruistic concern for others.  It’s the same reason they oppose capital punishment.  They don’t care about the victims or their loved ones.  Any schmuck, after all, can sympathize with innocent people.  But it takes a very special kind of individual to hold a candlelight vigil for a monster who’s raped and murdered a child.  A very special kind, indeed.

 
If I had to describe liberals in a single word it would probably be “CLOWN” (for want of a better word).   In most cases, I wouldn’t regard that word as a pejorative.  As it relates to liberals, it simply means that feelings trump everything else.  So it is that liberals love the idea of the U.N., excited by the notion of a lot of nations sitting down and talking out their problems, as if to a marriage counselor. Unfortunately, when dealing with evil nations with evil intentions, the U.N. is nothing better than a bad joke.  Partly that’s because it is inept and partly because it’s as weak as its weakest link and, for good measure, is as corrupt as Chicago politics.

Quite recently, it struck me that it’s not that the MainStream Media has done everything in its considerable power to spin, deny or conceal, all the unpleasant truths about ACORN, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and his wife, the Annenberg Challenge and the where-abouts of Obama's real birth certificate, that upsets me the most. The thing that truly depresses me is that millions of my fellow Americans know the truth, but simply don’t seem to care.

They also don’t seem too concerned that in a 2001 radio interview, Obama declared that his problem with the Warren Court was that although it ruled in favor of Civil Rights, it was not sufficiently radical when it came to redistribution of wealth.
(Listen to the interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3pck)  Apparently, Obama thinks the Founding Fathers should have included that in the Bill of Rights.

Obama can deny it all he likes, but anyone who subscribes to the belief that we should adopt a fiscal policy based on “From everyone according to his abilities to everyone according to his needs” is a disciple not of Warren Buffet, but of Karl Marx.  Still, as some cynic once observed, when you rob Peter to pay Paul, don’t expect Paul to raise any objections.  So, even though Obama claims he will cut income taxes for 95% of us, even though he knows full well that over 30% of us don’t even pay a single penny in income taxes, millions of Pauls are ready and eager to vote for this con man.

Frankly, I find it amazing and pathetic that so many Americans are anxious to finish the job begun by FDR to turn us into a socialist state.  Is it simply because they long for America to go the way of China, the Soviet Union, Venezuela, North Korea and Cuba, or do they simply not give a damn?  Sheep, after all, are not known for their spirit of independence or their intelligence.

When I suggest that socialism often leads to tyranny, I am not indulging in right-wing hyperbole.  After all, aside from control of capital and the means of production, one of the essentials of all dictatorships is central control of the media.  In 2008, the left already controls most of the MSM, not to mention the liberal arts departments on most college campuses.

The warning signs are all around us.  Recently, as you may have heard, Beverly West, a reporter with Florida television station WFTV, dared to ask Joe Biden whether Obama’s connection to ACORN was a legitimate concern and whether Obama’s response to Joe the Plumber was Marxist.  As a result, the Obama/Biden campaign informed WFTV that it was cutting off access because of such rude questions.

The American Issues Project, whose TV ad called for an examination of the Obama/Bill Ayers connection, led to the Obama machine’s demand that the Justice Department begin a criminal investigation of the AIP. http://www.americanissuesproject.org/american-issue-project-news/obamas-close-ties-to-radical-terrorist-ayers-documented.html
The idea that the AIP should be investigated for running a legitimate TV ad, but ACORN should not be prosecuted for perpetuating voter fraud is the sort of thing that George Orwell would have dealt with if he’d lived long enough to write a sequel to “1984.”

Now that Obama is the President-elect, there’s no question that the Democrats will pass the ill-named Fairness Doctrine (http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/1125/p09s02-coop.html), thus ensuring that talk radio, the only part of the MSM not fully under control of the far left, will be silenced once and for all.

After that, the Right's only means of communication will be smoke signals. That is assuming that under Obama’s new order they’ll be able to afford blankets.

Now, any Liberal that wants to jump in here and expound why they think I'm wrong, be my guest.

The Democrats will be running the White House, the House and possibly the Senate soon.  Before they make drastic changes, they may want to consider some interesting quotations I found in my trusty little Book of Quotations on government.  My favorites reveal a general wariness of government -- a key principle upon which our republic was founded:

"A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take everything you have."
-- Barry Goldwater

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country -- against his government."
-- Edward Abbey

"The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse."
-- Edmund Burke


Well, Eddie, you got that right. We just handed our government a blank check worth billions to bail out our financial institutions.  And before we let Barack Hussein Obama "make government cool again," we may want to consider this:

"The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare."
-- Daniel Patrick Moynihan

"Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible."
-- Charley Reese

"Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us."
-- Leo Tolstoy


Sorry, Leo, but folks often forget how nasty government can be.  Right now, folks are clamoring for our government to do something, anything, to fix our economic woes -- forgetting, of course, that our government is a key contributor to those woes.  Here is where government is really effective:

"The government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, then hand you a crutch and say, 'See, if it weren't for the government you wouldn't be able to walk.'"
-- Harry Browne


"Government's view of the economy can 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


"Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorer."
-- Ludwig von Mises


We citizens must be more skeptical about well-meaning politicians.  We must look past their flowery words to understand what they really may be up to:

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."
-- H.L. Mencken


"One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation."
-- Thomas Reed


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


Excellent quote, Georgie. You described the 2008 elections more accurately than 99 percent of America's journalists -- and you've been dead since 1950.

Look, it's long been time that America gets back to the basics.  American citizens must stand up and demand a return to the principles of SMALL government:


"That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
-- Patrick Henry

"Our best protection against bigger government in Washington is better government in the states."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower


Unfortunately, Dwight, we abandoned that concept some time ago.  Unless Americans wake up and remember the origin of our greatness -- it's the people, not the government -- we are poised for the government to expand more, and take more and control us more.  

Humorists understand the ramifications better than anyone:

"The primary function of the government is -- and here I am quoting directly from the U.S. Constitution -- 'to spew out paper.'"
-- Dave Barry

"The difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
-- Will Rogers

"Did you ever notice that when you put the words 'THE' and 'IRS' together, it spells 'THEIRS?'"
-- Unknown

The only real difference between liberals and teenagers is that the people the teens idolize can sometimes sing, dance and/or play a musical instrument.  Lefties would say the very same thing about conservatives, but, as usual, they’d be wrong.

Consider our icons for a moment.  They tend to be people like Washington, Jefferson and Adams. In modern times, we have Ronald Reagan.  When he was president, liberals demeaned him as an ignoramus and called for his impeachment.  They claimed he was just another dumb actor, whereas the real dumb actor, Jimmy Carter, they insisted, had the IQ of a genius..... or was that ignoramus, I forget.  Somehow, they managed to overlook the fact that Carter had allowed the Islamics to take control of Iran and hold American hostages for 444 days.  Yeah, must have been ignoramus.  On the home front, Carter gave us 21% interest rates, 13.5% inflation and 7% unemployment.  On the misery index, which is how economists measure such things, that’s a miserable 20.5%.  In human terms, that would probably be the equivalent of losing your dog and your left arm.  Not only did Reagan get the economy off life-support, but he managed to hammer the final nail into the Soviet Union’s coffin.  Go Ronnie!

Liberals, on the other hand, will put people such as "Slick Willy" Clinton, Al "Sky is Falling" Gore, Charles "Chuckie" Schumer and Barney "Elmer Fudd" Frank, on pedestals.   Compared to the likes of them, teen idols Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan, don’t look so bad.

But if grown-ups think it’s absurd and unseemly for the MSM to pant over Barack Obama, whose major achievement consists of having won a popularity contest against unpopular John McCain, that’s nothing compared to their longstanding love affair with left-wing despots and traitors.  Back in the 30's and 40's, the American left went gaga over Joseph Stalin, your know, the scumbag who killed a gazillion of his people.   In the 50's, they demonstrated on behalf of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss.  In the 60's, they wore little hats adorned with a red star and carried around Mao’s Little Red Book in homage to mass murderer Mao Tse-Tung and, for good measure, sang the praises of the Black Panthers and Abbie Hoffman and Bill Ayers.

Then along came Fidel Castro and Ernesto Guevara, better known to his adoring fans as Che.  By the way, people began calling him “Che” because it’s the Spanish equivalent of “Hey,” something he apparently said with even greater and more annoying frequency than John McCain said “My friends” or Caroline Kennedy says, “You know.”

 
Castro, lest it be glossed over by Sean Penn’s infatuation with the bearded one, dealt with Cuba’s homosexual population by either killing them or sticking them in concentration camps.  Odd, isn’t it, how much more noise the gay community makes about Reverend Rick Warren’s giving an invocation than they ever have about the bloody tyrant who’s spent the past half century presiding over a reign of terror a scant 90 miles from Florida?

In an article he wrote for the American Thinker, Humberto Fontava reminded us what some of the leading lights on the left have said about Castro, the man on whose behalf Che Guevara happily executed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Cubans for no bigger sin than their not wishing to replace a dictator named Batista, with another named Castro.  .

It was extortionist extraordinaire Jesse Jackson who said, “Viva Fidel!  Viva Che!  Long live our cry of freedom!”

Historical revisionist and sometime movie director Oliver Stone claimed, “Castro is very selfless and moral.  One of the world’s wisest men.”  Right -- as if druggie Stone would know the first thing about morality or wisdom.

Ted Turner, who drinks a lot, informed us that Castro is “One helluva guy!”

Harry Belafonte, Hugo Chavez’s favorite calypso singer, sounding like Howard Dean at his goofiest, insisted, “If you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro.”  Well, inasmuch as Castro has ruled over Cuba for 50 years without holding an election, you’d hardly regard him as the poster boy for democracy, but facts rarely get in the way once a leftist goes into his cheerleading routine.

Jack Nicholson informs us that “Castro is a genius,” but that’s understandable because in Hollywood, any jackass who directs a movie is hailed as a genius.

Speaking of jackasses, another Hollywood ninny who doesn’t worry about embarrassing family and friends by opening his yap, proclaimed, “Fidel, I love you.  We both have beards.  We both have power and want to use it for good purposes.”  The speaker was not, as you might have guessed, Barbara Streisand or Arianna Huffington, but Francis Ford Coppola.

Never one to leave his lack of intelligence in doubt, Chevy Chase claimed, “Socialism works.  I think Cuba might prove it.”

But it’s not just those on the left coast who have made goo-goo eyes at Castro.  Colin Powell, who should have faded away, as was the lot of old soldiers, according to a British war ballad, instead took the time to tell us, “Castro has done some good things for Cuba.”   Powell never got around to telling us what those things were.  Instead, he wound up sounding like the apologists for fascism during the 1930s who never got tired of reminding the world that, thanks to Mussolini, the Italian trains ran on time.

The late Norman Mailer, the moral conscience of New York’s upper Westside, who stabbed his wife and also led the campaign to get killer Jack Henry Abbott out of jail, so that, quite predictably, he could murder again, unequivocally stated: “Fidel Castro is the greatest hero to appear in the Americas.”

Not one to be left out of any major gathering of morons, George McGovern proclaimed, “Castro is shy and sensitive, a man I regard as a friend.”

The fact that Castro has probably defiled more women than Saddam Hussein and his sons, Qusay and Uday, put together doesn’t mean a thing to his legion of fans, male and female alike, any more than the fact that Stalin and Mao had more blood on their hands than Hitler.  For that matter, I’m sure that the millions of innocent Vietnamese and Cambodians who died at the hands of the Viet Cong and Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge never caused Jane Fonda to lose a single night’s sleep.

The final irony is that a great many of the same fools who have spent the last eight years carrying signs in the streets condemning George Bush as a warmonger, a man who trashed the Constitution, traded American blood for Arab oil and who, worst of all, mispronounced “nuclear,” go home to walls that are covered with pin-up pictures of Castro and Guevara.

For that matter, would any of us be terribly surprised to learn that just looking at his Che poster sends a furrowing up Chris Matthews’ leg?

 The Crashing Sound you hear is our Economics ........

An article by the Associated Press asked the disturbing question: How Deep Is The Economic Abyss?   Although few are prepared to answer that due to the ambiguity, complexity and impropriety at work, I find it strangely amusing that the mainstream media has all of the answers to why such an abyss exists and indeed poses a threat, now that we're hanging off the proverbial edge.

Until the latter part of last year, such discussions have been considered doom and gloom rhetoric by the celebrated experts of our time.   But you can only hide the obvious for so long.  It becomes increasingly difficult to persuade panicking passengers aboard your foundering vessel that everything is OK when you're thrashing about in seawater sporting a life preserver.

Frankly, I can't answer the question the AP posed either; but I've been keenly aware of the approaching abyss for some time and have been preparing for it, thanks to my financial advisor.  Though the economic pain is  spreading far and wide, I personally believe we have a long way to go before finding bottom.

In the near term, I suspect there will be a lot of talk that the worst is all behind us and that things are starting to look better in certain segments of the economy now that the great ONE is in office.   This kind of propaganda is likely to be repeated over and over again on the evening news to try and prop up consumer confidence in the face of rising prices, declining demand and plummeting profits.

As I see it, the greatest challenge facing the Fed right now is keeping it all afloat.  And now that Obama is president, he will in no way be remembered by history as a winner because he will be the designated scapegoat when it all comes crashing down on his watch - the public not realizing that the stage for this coming disaster was set many presidents ago with a fiat currency and a global agenda.

You see, it's all just borrowed money - created out of nothing - backed by nothing and good for nothing apart from the blind confidence of those who hold it.  When that confidence eventually wanes, as it is already happening overseas, so too will the illusion of prosperity and freedom we thought was ours.  It's going to get a hell of alot worse before it gets better.

An email sent to me by a retired Air Force Colonel who I served with for many years .....Warph


Barack Hussein OBAMA, a piece of dirt Chicago con man, who in his term has has DEFILED and DISHONORED the office of the President of the United States using corrupt methods to ruin this wonderful country SAID during his Cairo speech:  "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's story."                        
                                                                           
                                           
THIS IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:                                          
                                                                           
Dear Hussein Obama,

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?  Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.                       
                                                                           
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?  Sorry again, I think those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.           
                                                                           
Hussein Obama, can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?                                                     
                                                                           
Declaration of Independence ?                                             
                                                                           
Bill of Rights?                                                           
                                                                           
No? I didn't think so.                                               
                                                                           
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ?  No again... 
                                                                           
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?  Nope, did not.  In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery.  Hussein Obama, your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."  Kinda' says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it, Hussein Obama?                         
                                                                           
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?  Negative, not present!                                                             
                                                                           
There are even no pictures or media accounts of muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.                                                                   
                                                                           
Where were muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?  Again, not present!  In fact, devout muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the islamic culture.  So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.  Yep, the Muslims sure are all for women's rights, aren't they?                                                     
                                                                           
Hussein Obama, where were Muslims during World War II?  I'll tell you where they were....They were aligned with ADOLPH HITLER.  The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.                                 
                                                                           
Finally, Mr. Hussein Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?  Let me tell you that one too.... If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly over 3,000 people on our own soil, they were wildly rejoicing in the middle eastern streets .  No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day.  Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's ass's you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.  To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.                                                     
                                                                           
And THAT, Hussein Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America .                                                                 
                                                                           
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.  They, incredibly, were Muslim too.                                                           
                                                                           
And now Hussein Obama, we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a piece of shit Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling our brave soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .                                         
                                                                                                                                                       
That, Hussein Obama, is the "Muslim heritage" in America!

What Muslims Owe America  
by Dan Greenfield

If you listen to the outraged wails of leftists and Muslims, you might reasonably be under the impression that the United States is in the business of persecuting Muslims.  The reality is radically different.  If anything American policies should have made us the Muslims' best friends.
 
Before 9/11, the United States had fought two wars on behalf of Muslims, the Gulf War under George Bush Sr. and the Kosovo War under Bill Clinton.  In fact during the second half of the 20th century, the only wars that the United States fought that were not against Communism or Nazism-- were fought on behalf of Muslims.  That is not a fact that you will glean from any of the usual media portrayals of the United States foreign policy as hostile to Muslims.  In fact US foreign policy was about as helpful to Muslims as you can imagine.

Until 9/11, the United States had never invaded and occupied a single sovereign Muslim country.  The closest it came was the First Barbary War in 1801, in response to piracy against American vessels and the liberation of  North Africa from Hitler's Vichy allies in WW2.  And of course the misguided attempt at participating in a peacekeeping force in Beirut.

Not only that, America had developed much of the oil wealth that would keep the Gulf States in gold, skyscrapers and slave labor.  And when the leaders of the Gulf States seized American oil companies, the United States government did not fight a war, as England did when Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, instead the US government paid oil companies to take the loss... out of taxpayer money.

The fear of a Communist takeover helped turn America into one of the biggest patrons of Muslim countries, from the Middle East to Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan. America willingly closed its eyes to Indonesia's genocide in East Timor, and even supplied them with weapons.  America provided the weapons and funding that Pakistan would channel into the Taliban.  And naturally we ignored Turkey's pesky little genocide of the Armenians and avoided ever discussing the issue.

So by 9/11, not only had America repeatedly sent soldiers to fight and die for Muslims in two wars... but it had robbed its own taxpayers rather than challenge them over the nationalization of the assets of American companies, and had proved willing to aid and even overlook the genocides of Muslim regimes.  So naturally by the warped logic of leftists and Muslims... American foreign policy was "oppressive" to Muslims.

The root of the leftist critique of American foreign policy typically rests on two planks.  The first blames America for supporting dictators in Muslim countries.  This would be a more legitimate critique if there were any free and democratic Muslim countries around.  As it was, America simply supported whoever was in power and wasn't allied with the USSR.    This might have been an immoral policy, but during the Cold War it was a continuation of the same kind of thinking that caused the US to ally with the USSR against Nazi Germany.

The left's implication was always that by supporting dictators in Muslim countries, the United States was preventing the rise of more legitimate governments.  It is not clear where these legitimate governments were or how they were ever supposed to arise.  Syria is a dictatorship without us ever supporting Assad.  Egypt was a dictatorship when it was allied with the USSR under Nasser.  It is still a dictatorship now that it is allied with us under Mubarak.  When the Shah of Iran was overthrown, the left wing appeasement corps working for Jimmy Carter decided not to interfere.  The result was not a democratic government or even a leftist one, but a radical Islamist one under the Ayatollahs.

The second plank is of course Israel.  The United States did decide to finally cultivate Israel as an ally back under JFK in the 60's.  This was in sharp contrast to far longer US ties with the House of Saud or the Eisenhower Administration's willingness to destroy England's economy in order to protect Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal.  And the United States has provided Israel with billions in aid.  As well as providing billions in aid to Egypt and Jordan.  Not to mention the aid given to Turkey and Pakistan.  Or the cost of the first Gulf War undertaken to liberate Kuwait and protect Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussein.

As a matter of fact the US relationship with the Saudis has been far more uncritical and generous than with Israel.  At no point in time has the US tried to force the Saudis to stop treating half their population like cattle, end their dependence on Southeast Asian slave labor... or even done much of anything for US citizens who find themselves in Saudi jails on trumped up charges.

There is of course no doubt that US arms sales to Israel have angered Muslim nations, just as US arms sales to Taiwan have angered China.  But at the same time there is also no doubt that the same general sense of hostility would exist in both cases, even if the US is able to sell out Israel as successfully as it sold out Taiwan.
 
In any case, to argue that American support for Israel oppresses Muslims, is to argue that American support for any country that Muslims have a grievance against-- which at latest count includes a sizable portion of the globe, oppresses Muslims.  As such the United States would not be allowed to have any allies that have not first been approved by Muslims.  Which would turn over American foreign policy to Islam.

If America is forbidden from allying with both Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries, that Muslims oppose, then American foreign policy would be in the hands of Muslims.  Which is exactly what Muslims and their American spokesmen accuse Jews of.

Furthermore, the countries hostile to Israel are the very same Arab dictatorships that we are being hypocritically assailed for supporting.  Which means that this plank also resolves itself into one of those arguments that we can't win.  If we support existing Muslim governments, we're oppressing Muslims.  If we interfere with them, we're oppressing Muslims.  If we support non-Muslim governments in countries that have Muslim minorities... you guessed it, we're oppressing Muslims.

When the tide of logic passes, it becomes quite clear that both these planks are hollow and rotten.  They represent Catch 22 arguments in which America loses no matter what it does.  If we support Arab countries, then we're upholding their tyrannical regimes.  If we fail to support them, then we're hostile to the Muslim world.  If we create a Palestinian Arab state, then we're to blame because it's not big enough.  If we wash our hands of the whole affair, then we're isolationists.

The bottom line is that there is absolutely nothing that we can do that will not lead to accusations that we are oppressing Muslims, followed by terrorist attacks.

But the fact of the matter is that the United States has done more for the Muslim world than anyone else.  When Afghanistan was invaded by the USSR, no Arab country stepped forth in their defense.  Instead they all remained silent because of their own Soviet ties. Instead it was the United States that sent arms and advisors to the Mujahadeen.

After the overthrow of the Shah, the United States could have provided legitimacy to any one of a number of factions, instead Carter decided to legitimate the Ayatollah Khomeni.  The result was the first Shiite Islamist regime in the world. And it would not have happened had the United States not undermined the Shah and then treated Khomeni as Iran's future under the Green Belt Strategy.

When Saddam invaded Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia, it was the United States that led a coalition to liberate Kuwait and back Saddam down.  When Yugoslavia tried to preserve itself against Kosovar Albanian Muslim terror, it was the United States that bombed Yugoslavia, and handed the Muslim Albanians their victory.  And after decades of Soviet backed terrorism by Arafat had failed to destroy Israel, it was the United States that stepped in and muscled Israel into providing him with a state.

Indeed the rise of Islamism can be credited to American foreign policy.  While the USSR tried to back Arab Socialist states such as Saddam's Iraq, or Assad's Syria or Nasser's Egypt-- the United States embraced Islamist tyrannies such as the House of Saud and General Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan.  We backed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan over the Soviet puppet regime.  We continued funding Arafat's Fatah, even as it became one of the world's leading innovators in suicide bombings and martyrdom.  With Kosovo, we helped create the first Muslim state in Europe, and a direct route for smuggling slaves and drugs into Western Europe, as we fought on the same side as Al Queda and Iran... against our former Serbian allies.

If anything the Muslims of the world should be getting down on their knees and thrusting their asses into the air five times a day to thank us, not Allah.  Allah did not provide the Stingers with which to shoot down Russian aircraft, or fund the ISI's terrorist factories and back a regime which all but legalized the rape of women.  Allah did not send thousands of aircraft to bomb Serbian civilians until they finally gave in and signed on to the Muslim rape of Kosovo.  Nor did Allah's tanks protect Mecca and more importantly Ridyah from coming under the jurisdiction of Uday and Qusay Hussein.

Finally America provided a hospitable home for Muslim immigrants, giving them profitable employment, letting them bring along their entire clans and not asking too many questions about the money they sent to "charities" back home.  And for all this, we were repaid with 3000 plus dead in a single day.  Nor for this alone, but also because we had helped liberate Afghanistan and protect Saudi Arabia.  For all the countless billions spent and the lives lost protecting Muslims, for being an open people willing to take in the stranger and ask no questions, four of our planes were hijacked (a feat previously held by Arafat's goons, who had already received a state from us) and aimed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the White House.
 
And afterward did Americans react by going out and beating random Muslims or rounding them up in stadiums... as leftist feverish fantasies would have it?  No.  Instead America embraced Muslims as never before.  We fought two wars, the bulk of which we spent trying to rebuild infrastructure, put up generators and supply food, water and medicine to two hostile Muslim countries.  We taught tolerance to each other until it was coming out of our ears.  We reassured ourselves that every religion has a few or a few hundred million bad apples.  We made a point of getting to know a local Muslim family.  And of course we assured them that we didn't hold it against them.

Just as we're doing right now.  Over and over again.  When a Muslim screaming Allah Akbar opens fire, we assure ourselves that most Muslims are good people. By contrast when a Muslim gets a flat tire, he blames the CIA.  Despite everything that America has done for Muslims.... our only reward has been hatred and ingratitude.  Maybe instead of thinking of what America owes them, it's time that Muslims everywhere thought about what they owe America.
