How the Stimulus Plan Operates

Via the internet:

It is a slow day in the small Wyoming town of Sleepy Hollow, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is
living on credit.


A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and
lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs
to pick out for the night.


As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next
door to pay his debt to the butcher.


The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to
the pig farmer.


The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his
supplier, the Co-op.


The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local
prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her
"services" on credit.


The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel
owner.


The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the
traveler will not suspect anything.


At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms
are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.


No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole
town is now out of debt and looks to the future with a lot more optimism.


This is how the stimulus plan operates.

We've Been Had

George Soros has been banned from trading in Russia because he de-valued their currency by 20%. He broke the bank of England through his financial moves focused on breaking the “nation” and has turned his sights on the US.

He adopted Barack Obama and helped him break the Clinton political machine by announcing he was backing Obama and not Hillary. Soros’s oil company has been drilling off the coast of Brazil to which Obama granted $3 billion of US tax dollars to help Brazil “develop off-shore drilling”.

Obama also closed drilling on our southern shore and the Gulf for 6 months because of a leaky oil well knowing full aware that this would drive most oil rigs out of the area and would allow Soros’s company to increase profits.

If you read any book in the next few years, make it “We’ve Been Had” by James R. Keena. It is available through any online book store such as Amazon.

2010-2012

Wasn’t TARP supposed to be used to buy up bad loans on homes to save the banks?
Isn’t it still true that all of us taxpayers are still on the hook for more than $400 million for the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Just who decided the Federal Government should be in the home mortgage business anyway?

And who thought it was a good idea to put a private bank (The Federal Reserve) in charge of our economy?

Why did this Federal Reserve keep interests rates so low when the housing bubble continued to grow?

Obama likes to blame republicans and Bush but wasn’t he pushing for low interests rates so “poor people” could afford new homes through his connections at ACORN?

Acorn the community organization that forced our government to loan to people that could not afford a home. ACORN that told a pimp and a prostitute how to get more money from our government and how to claim child prostitutes as “dependants” for tax purposes.

If the stimulus money was supposed to stimulate private sector jobs, why is 90% of the money being spent everywhere but the private sector?

When government bailed out Chrysler and GM, it didn’t bailout the owners of these companies or the bond holders and the people that made it possible for these companies to exist, it bailed out the UAW.

Why is it that the stimulus money that went to the states went to pay union pensions and benefits and to save public union jobs?

Why did Obama give billions to Mexico and Brazil for further off-shore drilling off their coasts when he won’t allow it here? Does he think that a spill off the Mexican or South American border won’t do any damage here?

Why is it that Obama and his cronies continue to push us towards a socialistic state when socialist countries like Greece, France, Russia, Great Brittan and now even China have moved to free market capitalism to expand and benefit their economical system like no other plan can?

We also know that the Democrats are not solely to blame for this. We will remove the rest of those who follow the self righteous path to wealth at the taxpayers’ expense in 2012.

We are slowly working towards a libertarian style of government, just as the democrats slowly moved towards Marxism.

All you politicians’ are on notice. If you vote to increase spending or the size of government, you should probably start looking for a new line of work.

Our Efficient Government

Via the internet; author unknown

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a timekeeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one Year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cutback." So they lay off the night watchman.

NOW slowly, let it sink in… Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.

Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY... during the Carter Administration?

Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!

Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency.... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!

Ready?
It was very simple. and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.

The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?

AND NOW IT'S

2010 -- 33 Years later – and the budget for this necessary department is at $24.2 BILLION a year. It has 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and approximately100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES and what a fine job it has done!

33 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.
Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.

Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.
Now they want us to turn over control of our banking system, health care and auto industry to these same people and the same methods of mismanagement

Hello!! Anybody Home? Are you awake yet my little SHEEPLE?

NOVEMBER is just a few weeks away. Time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

Back Door Jenny

Last night I attended a meeting where the keynote speaker was Matthew Schneider, the president of the Michigan chapter of the Federalist Society and a constitutional college professor. He gave a presentation on about whom the candidates in the upcoming November election are and how they stand constitutionally speaking and what their backgrounds are.

It was very informative.

He also made note of the difference between a “rule of law judge” and a “judge activist” An activist judge rules based on how they feel on a particular issue while a rule of law judge rules based on the law and nothing else.

Activist judges believe they can circumvent the legislature and “make” law based on their decisions. This is not an acceptable option. The basis of our laws were written by our fore fathers who took many years to make sure they got them right and to make sure they could not be mis-read.

All judges up in the 1960’s were constitutional non-partisan rule of law judges and then something began to change, this was about the same time the Democratic Party started it’s crawl towards a European style socialist government.

The part of his presentation I really got an eyeful was the back door deal our Governor Jennifer Granholm pulled off.

Elizabeth Weaver a republican turned moderate-turned liberal judge decided she was ready to retire (we can only assume, she has not let anyone know why). So in order to make sure the seat stayed filled with a judge activist; she made a deal with Back Door Jenny. Elizabeth would step down so long as Jenny would replace her with a “like-minded” judge such as Alton Davis, another judge from northern Michigan who liked to write laws based on his decisions.

Why you might ask does this guarantee the seat for an activist judge?

Seems that most people going to vote who are unaware of whom the judges are will vote for the incumbent 20% more often than not. This is pretty good odds knowing that they will get an additional 20% of the votes based solely on the fact that they are incumbents.
So by Back Door Jenny placing this man in the position just two days before the Democratic Convention and then having the democratic delegates seat him, he is an incumbent.

Ms. Granholm, John Conyers, John Dingell, Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and the Democratic Party in general has certainly left their marks on this state in so many ways, from the ruins of Detroit to the million people who have left this state in search of work and the American Dream.

I wonder if Back Door Jenny is done or if she’s got one more up her ass to pull out before she’s gone.

War on Terror

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York on 11 Sept 2001, and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London, and in downtown Manhattan, and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! You guessed it…

I don't care!!

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The British Soldier

3. The Canadian Soldier.

4. The US Soldier

5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom"

Capitalism

When you wake up in the morning, everything you see around you; your room, your house, clothes, shoes, alarm clocks, TV’s, radio’s, your mirror, the sink, toothbrush, your morning coffee, just about everything you have was made possible by capitalism. Capitalism drives you to work or the store to buy goods again created by capitalism.

Michael Moore thinks capitalism is a bad word, yet if it weren’t for capitalism, we would not be making his films, nor could he profit from them. In an interview with Sean Hannity, he would not deluge what tax bracket he was in but he certainly lives a lavish life-style although he does not dress for the occasion.

Capitalism built the middle class in this country starting right here in this state known as Michigan. It is “big business” that the democrats try to persuade us is the problem with this country, that big business somehow has screwed the American people over by taking our jobs over-seas, by having things built in places like Taiwan, China, India and other places. It wasn’t big business that decided to go there, it was pressure put on them to compete.

Our government has helped destroy the auto manufacturing in this country, first by regulating it into submission and then by passing “unfair trade policies” One recent shiny example of our governments trade policy in action was when they tried to dry up the drug trade by convincing the people of Bolivia to quit growing Coca for cocaine and grow asparagus instead with the promise that we would buy it from them.

Seemed like a good plan to those Einstein’s in charge at the time, but now we are importing ten times more than we have a demand for. His has forced the Michigan growers to sell below costs to get rid of their crops, not to mention an unbalanced trade deficit.

There is a reason these kinds of people are in politics. Most of them couldn’t run water if we showed them the faucet; the rest are bad attorney’s that couldn’t find where to sign their names on a contract unless you drew and X it in front on them.

In Michigan, the politicians could not help themselves, they saw the money the auto companies generated and they needed to get their spot at the trough.
They started by propping up their position by making Michigan the third state in the union to have a full time state legislature, costing tax payers billions over the years but wasn’t a problem, we’ll just tax the auto-makers. The same policy was repeated over and over whenever the budget was running short because of over-spending; they would raise another tax on our manufacturing industry.

When the manufacturers saw this happening, they started to move some operations out of the state. The politicians noticed that they golden goose was laying less eggs than it used to. What to do? I know; let’s add a Michigan Business Tax (MBT) so we can collect more from those still doing business in the state.

It never occurred to them to cut some programs and reduce spending and time and time again the budget fell short.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. During the Granholm regime who continued to drive businesses out by not only adding another 22% surcharge on top of the MBT, but decided they should pick and chose who was going to be successful by offering massive tax incentives to bring businesses to Michigan, businesses such as Cabela’s. It didn’t matter that there was already a major sporting outlet (Jay’s Sporting Goods) already in the state employing over 2,000 people. What did Jay’s receive to stay in the state? Zero -- How much money did Jay’s ever borrow from the state in the terms of loans or tax credits? Zero -- What was the outcome of this move? – Competition to already weak business climate due to mass of people leaving this state looking for a future.

This process was repeated again and again giving money to meat packing companies, the movie industry and battery makers. These businesses will pick up and leave as soon as the money pit runs dry. As long as they are gaining credits and incentives, it serves their purpose but as soon as the MBT and the surcharge whack them upside the head, they’ll be gone.

Capitalism built this country. Are there bad eggs in the carton? Sure there are but what would the alternative be? The liberals won’t let us drill for the oil here so we can’t depend on that like the Middle East does. Europe has been dying a slow death but the speed has picked up and they are broke, trying to dump their public health program as is Canada. Greece is out of money from promising its work force unaffordable benefits and retirement packages. We have let our technology companies dwindle by supporting electronic manufacturers from China, Japan and Korea to build our products.

We need to bring conservative ideas back to this country. We need to bring manufacturing back and along with it the R&D that will change our future needs for energy and products; it will be the only way to recover.

Spending has led us to the brink and it must stop yesterday.
Political Correctness has seen its day and it’s time to bury that notion. We need people that really and truly care about this country to take the helm and bring us back, but the rest of us need to hold their feet to the fire to make sure they do the will of we, the people.

Man protests high unemployment

A man from Ann Arbor crawled up on top of the Washtenaw County building to protest high unemployment.

Bill Riney who made an unsuccessful run as a democratic legislator for the 54th District in Michigan decided he need to make a statement, so he crawled up onto the Country building and spent the night.

Reading over the story on www.AnnArbor.com what a lot of commenter’s on the post missed is that while the people know that unemployment is a huge problem, the mainstream media throws it off as a “bother” to them.

If the media hammered this home and the fact that the democrats in DC and Lansing are killing our economy, then people like Riney would not have to climb a building in protest.

Obama spent $800 billion of our tax dollars with the promise unemployment would not exceed 8%, that flopped and now he wants to spend another $200 billion for the same thing.

This crawl to socialism was also a flop. Since the 40’s, democrats and the leftists elite’s have been moving steadily towards this goal and now it’s coming up to bite them in the ass.

While other countries like Great Brittan and Canada are trying to get out of tax funded government entitlement programs such as health care, the elitists in this country are trying to move towards it.

Government cannot stimulate jobs by spending more of our tax dollars and crippling small business owners. The best thing the Obama administration can do right now is to get out of the way and do nothing. The private businesses will grow the economy if they are allowed to do so.

2010 Michigan Republican State Convention

Yesterday (August 28th) at the Michigan Republican State Convention and motion was made to enter a second nominee for Lieutenant Governor; Bill Cooper.
The night before, the tea parties of Michigan had it’s own meeting to discuss the candidates among themselves to see where the people of these groups were headed with their voting.

Several days before the convention, I had asked if everyone was “comfortable” with Rick Snyder’s pick for Lt. Governor, Brian Calley and if not, lets have people through out some names so we could see what was available.

The name Bill Cooper came up many times, so Don Jakel of the Independence Caucus said he would talk with Bill see what we could do.

Bill accepted our offer and gave a speech at our tea party meeting.

The following day at the convention, the motion was made, seconded and then it was to be put up to a vote. The Republican Party stated that we would do a show of hands vote, which we of course loudly rejected to, first off because there were over 3000 in attendance and we were in an arena-seating situation and then to top that off, all the delegates were scattered in among alternate delegates and guests so who could decipher which “hands” were legitimate voting delegates.
Next the republican’s leaders decided we would have them stand… like this would be better count.

As we waited for the Republican Party to decide on how to handle the situation, Bill Cooper took to podium and proceeded to back out of the nomination.

Now a few things came immediately to mind; what did the Republican Party offer him to back out? And then apparently, he was not the man we thought he was.

Now my question to Bill is, what the hell happened here? I believe we have the right to know.

I should also mention that from my vantage point in the arena, I felt he had a strong chance of winning this nomination.

Another little bit of information on this convention; we had to wait two hours in line outside before we cold be signed in. The republican committee blamed the Breslin Center management for the delays stating “it was OK for a basketball game or concert” but not for a political convention of party delegates.

The Republican Party stated over and over again how excited they were about the number of delegates we had, but from the way they kept ramming things through before we had a chance to react and the way the we were inconvenienced, I got the feeling they were much more happier when there were only a handful of delegates that they could control.

The Tea Party had brought in a record number of delegates and we had an agenda that we wanted to fulfill. We are fed up with the business as usual and the old boy network in our government. These was a learning experience for us and believe me, the next convention will be different.

Republicans v/s Democrats

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrat’s demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

How the Democrats Support the Poor

As I have previously written, you need to look no further than the city of Detroit to see how the Democratic Party has “taken care of the poor”

The plight of Detroit is a perfect example of what a socialist system does to the poor. It rewards those at the bottom by allowing them to squeak by on a meager existence by giving them a monthly check which amounts to the same pay they would make at a minimum wage job after taxes, food and shelter. The government takes care of the food portion for them by way of the bridge card (food stamp program) they get free health care at any emergency room, their heat and electricity are paid for by programs such as MPSC Assistance Program, People Care program and the State Emergency Relief just to name a few and rent is dirt cheap in the city.

All of these programs have one thing in common; they are paid for by our tax dollars.

These politicians have driven the life out of the city, they are constantly trying to bring it back with more of our tax dollars being spent on improvement projects, entitlement programs, jobs bills but none of these work. The only thing that will revive the city is free market capitalism.

If a young professional who works in the city wants to move downtown figuring they’ll be closer to work, there are many nice places to live along the riverfront. However, if that person wants to go buy groceries, shop for clothing, hardware and such, they have to leave the city. The crime in the inner city has driven all of these types of business out.

Neighborhood revitalization will only take place after the city has been scrubbed of crime both on the streets and in city hall.

Crooked politicians like Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and Coleman Young have left a bad taste in the mouth of so many. Kwame’s mother Carolyn ‘Cheek’ Kilpatrick, John Conyers, Monica’s husband are among the many that perpetuate this situation.

The jobs in Detroit are becoming non-existent and one of the problems adding to this is illegal immigrants. Michigan is a border state and NumbersUSA.com has rated politicians in our state on how they stand on enforcing our borders to protect our economy, jobs and ultimately its citizens.

Looking over the list of grades given by NumbersUSA for politicians that support protecting our border, we find the bottom 6 US representatives from Michigan are all democrats and all but one represent the Detroit area the only exception is Dale Kildee who hails from Flint. Dale scored a solid D, Sander Levin scored a D-, the two John’s; Conyers and Dingell scored an F and Carolyn “Cheeks” Kilpatrick and Carl Levin scored an F-

People in suburbs are fed up with Detroit. When the people of the city re-elected Kwame even after knowing his crimes, the people in the burbs were greatly disappointed and many washed their hands of the city. A city council member was recorded on camera’s slamming his fist on a table at a council meeting demanding that because the city of “Detroit has an 88% minority rate; 88% of the casino employee’s then should be minorities”. The people in suburbs said “OK, we’ll stay of the casino’s then and see what kind of money they make with just minorities gambling in them” hence the casino’s are now looking at bankruptcy.

The city of Detroit supplies water to most of the suburbs but no one from the ‘burbs’ is allowed on the board that oversees it. I know first-hand how city services work. If you’ve got $50, you can get someone with a tool to turn the water back on if it was shut off for non-payment and it could be years before they find out and if at all. Trash pick-up works the same way; if you own a business, you are required to dump most of your refuse into a rented dumpster, but if you contact the city trash collectors as they go through your alleyway, they’ll take all the trash you have for a $20 bill.

Detroit is probably the most segregated city in the nation. Until the residents become aware of what is really happening in their city and top electing crooks, I’m afraid it will only get worse until Detroit eventually mowed down for farm land and then we’ll have to start all over again.

This is how the democrats support the poor, yet the people still vote for these blood-suckers.

Sen. John Kerry and his Yacht

Sen. John Kerry, who is one of the biggest supporters of tax increases, moved his yacht to Newport RI to avoid a six figure payment in taxes. Apparently higher taxes are good enough for us, but not for him. This is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party. “It’s a good thing to spread the wealth so long as it’s not mine”

Kerry should move to were the taxes are the highest. He should fill out the short form when doing his income taxes to make sure he pays the most possible taxes because that is what is good for the America.

This would the patriotic thing to do according to the Obama administration.
Kerry chose to park his yacht in RI rather than MA where he lives because MA would have charged him $437,500 in sales taxes on his $7 million boat and an annual fee of $70,000

So because of higher taxes enacted in Massachusetts in 1993 on these luxury items, we see how higher taxes harm small businesses and reduces jobs.
Kerry stated in February of 2009: “If you put a tax cut in the hands of a business or family, there’s no guarantee that they’re going to invest that or invest it in America”

Pretty good statement from a guy that spent $7 million on a yacht made in New Zealand and then had it delivered through an out-of-state distributor to avoid taxes.

Moderate Muslim?

Via the internet, author unknown:

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

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

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is intimidated and irrelevant.

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

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

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

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

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life."

There are no moderate Muslims! Have you ever heard anyone refer to other religions this way? Moderate Catholics or Moderate Baptists. The stories above shows why we need to stay engaged and stop the spread of this disease that the current administration is trying to coddle and defend. If the peace loving Muslims will not speak out against the hate-filled religious wack-jobs that have taken over their religion, we will have to do it for them.

Where did the jobs go?

Obama is blaming the republicans for blocking passage of yet another unemployment extension. The unemployed don’t want hand-outs they want jobs. We’ve spent $1 trillion on jobs stimulus, with the promise that unemployment would not exceed 8% yet here we are at 10%.

The ruling class (democrats) the very people that are now asking where the jobs are, can’t figure out where the jobs went to.
They can’t find them because they are the ones that destroyed them with their tax plans and the destruction of the private sector businesses such as the auto industry, oil industry and the health care industry.

Obama won’t allow the oil companies to drill, he won’t allow loggers to cut and he won’t allow new power plants to be built. These all equal = jobs lost.

He spent all this money on stimulus and yet they are not creating jobs. He did create 300 jobs here in Michigan producing batteries for electric cars and it only cost us $502,000 per job to create! I think he should have given the half million to these 300 people and had then open a business with the money so they could hire a few people.

We’re at 99 weeks of unemployment extensions. The average time for the economy to rebound is generally 8 months if we do nothing. Obama’s policies are not “stimulating” the economy they are doing just the opposite. The democrats have been in power since 2006 and have been forcing their tax and spend policies since then and this is the result.

One republican senator said it best when he stated “why don’t we just put everyone on the payroll and call it a day”

Race and Blame

When all else fails the Obama administration knows two things; pull the race card and start the blame game. When anyone starts to question the administrations failed policies they quickly change ponies and start blaming George Bush and BP oil. Currently they are releasing their attack dogs, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and the NAACP on the tea party groups.

The lame stream media is right there on Obama’s lap, trying to sell the lies that a few in the tea party members uttered racial remarks to a few democratic black congressmen as they walked from one building to another. This event was filmed by no less than 5 video cameras and not one of them caught the alleged off-color remark. Andrew Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward to anyone that could provide proof that it happened -- no one has come forward.

This same media cannot bring itself to run the videos of the NBPP leader “Minister King Samir Shabazz” (aka Maurice Heath) claiming “I hate white people -- you want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"
These are the same people that aggressively and successfully lobbied the White House to drop charges against the NBPP members that were accused of voter intimidation in the 2008 elections.

The White House has taken to task to use our money to file a lawsuit against a law that 70% of American’s support. That of course is the Arizona Illegal Immigration Law. The law itself mirrors federal law but there’s a problem – the Fed’s won’t enforce the law so Arizona had to fend for itself and now they have to fight the federal government in court so that they can protect the citizens of their state.

If this makes your head spin; you’ll love this next part. The White has stated that it will not seek to reprimand or prosecute the so named “sanctuary cities”. These are cities that receive federal dollars (our tax dollars) to enforce immigration laws but decided not to and to use the money for other projects.

So to put this in perspective; the Obama administration will sue you for trying to do the job they are supposed to do, namely protecting it’s citizens and our borders, but will not bother you if you break the law when it comes to immigration. If you mess with the law, it’s OK, but if you interfere with Obama’s vision, you’re in their crosshairs.

When the NAACP stands up and explains why they:

A) lobbied the Obama White House to dismiss voter intimidation charges against the thugs of the New Black Panther Party
B) oppose the 21st century school choice movement to free poor minority students from rotten government schools
C) choose "diversity" above academic study as its primary education goal
D) are pushing our country back to the pre-civil rights era using race-based classification
E) can explain the racist sneers and smears like those leveled by the St. Louis NAACP chapter against black limited-government activist Kenneth Gladney, who was labeled by civil rights leaders as an "Uncle Tom" after he was beaten bloody by Service Employees International Union henchmen last summer

Then and only then will their claim of “racists” among the tea partiers seem like a valid claim, problem is there has been no proof of any of the claims brought forward.

Every group has a few loose cannons and I’m sure there are a few in some tea parties. I personally have not seen one. I witnessed a sign at a town hall meeting showing Obama as Hitler with the little mustache, but it was being carried by a young black man.

Obama says we need to talk about racism in this country. This was Pat Buchanan’s response:

“Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America... Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation... White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Rev. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

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

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances.
Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids…

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

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

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

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

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al Sharpton about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena which all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago”

Pat makes some great points in this speech and he backs them with facts and the truth. When the NAACP or the NBPP can do that, maybe they will have a leg to stand on.

Entitlements

Enough of the nanny state crap and these entitlement programs that the democrats have pushed into our society. They have effectively removed the father from the home and replaced him with a welfare check. Jimmy Carters entitlement programs have destroyed major cities such as Detroit with his policies. Once the family is gone so are all the moralities that went along with it.

Does anyone think we are better off now than we were back in the 50’s and 60’s when you could trust your neighbor and leave your doors unlocked and children were respectful of their elders calling them Sir and Ma’am?

The democrats have taken the paddle out of the parents and teachers hands and made the father a passing figure by entitling single mother’s to a paycheck. Some of these women have made a career out of this lifestyle; if they want a raise, they have another baby. They toss “daddy” to the curb because they no longer need his support but the ones that suffer initially are the children. In the long run we as a society also suffer the consequences of these policies.

Amnesty for illegal aliens will only perpetuate this situation. The democrats are telling us that “people cannot be “illegal’s” that by using such a term we are degrading them. Calling people that illegally enter this country is exactly what they are illegal’s. So by the democrats thought process; are aborted babies then not human?

Obama and his clan of misguided, misinformed and inexperienced followers are spending time, energy and our tax dollars on fighting laws like the one Arizona passed… instead of seeing what happens when this law is enacted, they are fighting it tooth and nail to stop it before it takes effect. They are not interested in the results that will most likely result from the outcome as they are sure it will show that a drop in illegal’s in Arizona will lift the state wide economy and drastically slow the drug and human trafficking.

This does not bode well for a group that is in dire need of votes come 2012 and who do you think these illegal’s will cast a vote for? The people that offer them a study program to citizenship through hard work like every other immigrant did over the last 150 years or the guy that gives them everything for free. The democrats know they will reap the votes from this group of immigrants but they most likely won’t be eligible to vote by 2012 and that is unacceptable by the liberal democrats.

Obama’s arrogance will be his undoing by pressing this lawsuit against Arizona and his blatant attempt to destroy the oil industry. He and his cronies are paddling upstream against the current by fighting the will of the American people. They are pushing and pushing for more government control of the free market system that has served us well for over 200 years.

They keep digging in deeper by moving in these directions rather than finding solutions to things the American people are seeking such as bolstering the economy and taking steps to create jobs.

This again goes against all that they hold sacred because in order to create jobs, government has to get out of the way and let the free market work. This current administration has no clue of how to handle anything. Not one of them has ever had a job that wasn’t taxpayer subsidized. None of them has run a successful corporation or business, none of them has had any military experience and none of them have the experience to handle a crisis such as the Gulf Oil Spill or to protect our borders.
The problem is not with Obama; the problem is with the people that were suckered in to voting for this charlatan. The dummying down of the American public’s view of politics aided by a press that has also drank the Kool-Aid by not reporting the truth is leading the people astray.

If your one of those that wait until Election Day to decide who you are going to vote for or vote for them because you saw the name on a sign on the way to the polls or because it’s easy to pronounce, you my friend, are the problem.

Cloward-Piven-Alinsky

Anybody that is above ground and breathing that supports Obama does not pay attention to what he does. They only listen to what he says and even that is starting to scare off even his most supportive zombies.

Obama has no intent of letting up on his plan spelled out by Cloward-Piven and Alinsky to bring the U.S. down by any means necessary. Obama believes that the white “rich” man has stolen all the earth’s riches while holding down the minorities on this planet and that all of the riches of the earth should be divided equally upon all on the populace regardless of how much money the mean old rich man invested and studied to gain the technology to extract the resources. Nor the fact that these rich tyrants employed millions of people that moved them from plowing rocks and living in shacks to air conditioning and indoor toilets.

Obama sat in the same church for 20 years listening to his pastor trash talk America and his racist views on the white man yet he never considered this a reason to leave the church nor condemn the Rev. Jeremiah Wright until it became a campaign problem then Obama threw him directly under the bus.

Oprah had all she could stand and had the intelligence to walk away from this bigoted idiot.

Obama’s associations with Tony Resko and Gov. Blagojevich ended the same way; they too were set on fire when it was convenient for the Obama administration to hide their crooked connections with these characters and others.

The Obama administration has single handedly re-introduced racism in this country and they are moving ahead full steam to make sure that it sticks. Anything they can use to take more of our liberties for any reason they will.

To Alinsky, Cloward and Piven this was a theory or a practice; to Obama it is a life mission

Obama Logic

There must be a simply logical reason why Obama won’t let Arizona secure its borders or protect its citizens, right?

Or why he won’t let Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana clean up the spill along the beaches of his state.

Gov. Jindal brought a lawsuit against the federal government after they put a moratorium on off-shore drilling because of the spill in the Gulf. A judge in Louisiana over-ruled the moratorium, but the Obama administration said that they will file another suit effectively creating a “de-fact-o moratorium” and costing the state 20,000 more jobs.

Obama, with his health care bill has brought about lawsuits is 15 states so far because it is unconstitutional.

He mandates that any state that receives stimulus money (our own money) must erect signs over road projects stating that this “Project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act." Not one single job has been created by these signs. This is tax payer dollars being wasted by a mandate so that Obama can self-promote. It’s costing taxpayers $20 million for these signs, $650,000 in Illinois alone.

Obama’s DOJ and Eric Holder decided not to prosecute the New Black Panther Party members who threatened voters at the polls in 2008. One of them King Samir Shabazz spoke out to the Philadelphia Inquirer

"I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy... The only thing the cracker understands is violence... The only thing the cracker understands is gunpowder. You got to take violence to violence."

A documentary shot by National Geographic in 2009 shows King Samir Shabazz spewing his hatred stating "You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"

This is the goal of the Obama administration; to destroy our way of life. In every situation Obama has gone against the will of the people. In November we will have a chance to speak to him loudly and clearly at the polls.

Government Scams

With Obama pointing the finger at BP for the oil spill, stealing money from them through extortion to pay for lost wages he himself caused by placing a moratorium on off-shore drilling, nowhere is the mention that BP followed exactly what the governments action plan was in the case of a spill in this deep of water, which was the oil would never make it to shore that it would dissipate or be absorbed by the ocean.

This was our governments own rules that BP had to abide by in order to get the leases to allow them to drill there. I in no way are releasing BP from their responsibilities, it’s their spill, they’re mess they should clean it up but they should not be held accountable for lost wages through no fault of their own.

Through the Community Reinvestment Act, banks and financial institutions were forced by government regulations to lower lending requirements so that people that normally could not afford a home because of wage limits or poor credit history would be able to secure a loan for a home whether they could afford the payments or not. This led to a sea of “creative financing” that is directly responsible for the current world wide depression we are now in.

The people responsible for over-seeing these organizations (Fannie & Freddie) and protecting our tax dollars which funded this scam; Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Franklin Raines just to name a few are the ones running as fast as they can from it all the while pointing fingers anywhere else to take the spot-light off them.

Everything government touches with the exception of the military crashes eventually and now Obama is seeing to it that the military is also part of this equation with the removal of yet another critic of his policies.

Obama has yet to appoint anyone to his cabinet that rides the center of the fence politically or for that matter shows some conservative values. Everyone he appoints is as far left as he can find. His call for bipartisanship is as shallow as his promise to lower taxes and health care costs to his bid for lowering the deficit that he has himself quadrupled. Straight up, flat out lies.

As has been said over and over again; government cannot fix the problem when government is the problem.

Gulf Shakedown

Obama's decision to impose a six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the gulf penalizes companies that have a better safety records than BP's.
This will result in many of the advanced drilling rigs being sent to offshore oil fields abroad further sinking the economy of the Gulf States.

The Interior Departments justification for the order comes from a report supposedly "peer reviewed" by "experts identified by the National Academy of Engineering." But as it turns out the drafts the experts saw didn't include any recommendation for a moratorium. All of the experts have said they oppose the moratorium citing the move would “be more economically devastating than the oil spill” and "counterproductive" to safety.

This was blatant lie by the Obama administration, on an Orwellian scale.

And what about the decision not to waive the Jones Act, which bars foreign vessels from coming to the aid of the gulf cleanup? The Bush administration waived it after Katrina in 2005. The Obama administration hasn't and claims that, gee, there aren't really any foreign vessels that could help. More lies.

This is just a payback to the maritime unions, part of the union movement that gave Obama and other Democrats $400 million in the 2008 campaign cycle. It's the Chicago way: dance with the girl that brung ya.

Or the decision to deny Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposal to deploy barges to skim oil from the gulf's surface. Can't do that until we see if they've got enough life preservers and fire equipment. How many believe that these ships and boats don’t know the rules when it comes to life saving devices?

Finally, there's the $20 billion escrow fund that Obama pried out of the BP treasury at the White House when he talked with them for the first time, 57 days after the rig exploded, with BP Chairman Tony Hayward. House Republican Joe Barton said it best when he called this a “shakedown”
Another additional $100 million for the people put out of work by the spill. But the problem here is, they are out of work not by the spill but rather by the Obama moratorium on off-shore drilling.

There already are laws in place that ensure that BP will be held responsible for damages, and the company has said it will comply. Again we have the federal government transferring property from one party to another. This was done without due process of the law by pay czar Kenneth Feinberg.

How many more illegal activities do we have to look forward to with this administration?

Butt Nuggetts from Obama

The speech Obama presented to us on Tuesday night had me screaming at the TV, his lies are starting to stack themselves like Lego’s.
His three point plan is to; A) Stop the leak. B) Clean up the mess and C) make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Sounds like a good plan until he added his push for his Cap-n-Tax bill, the tax on carbon emissions.

Let us not forget that carbon was the blame for the coming of the new ice age in the 70’s, global warming in the 90’s and then climate change in this new century. This theory was blown out the window when the lid popped off that the “scientific” data was corrupt and so were the people reporting it. Al Gore went into hiding and has barely been seen since.

This legislation has nothing to do with climate change; it is a bill to tax the American people as a penalty for using 22% of the world’s resources while having only 2% of the population as Mr. Obama likes to state over and over again.

We don’t steal these resources; we buy them and make other countries rich in the process. If these other countries don’t like our cash, they don’t have to sell to us.

Obama put a 6-month moratorium on deep water drilling in or until he can be assured that this won’t happen again. What a joke! There is nothing he can do to stop an accident from happening. There is nothing he can do now. He lacks the wisdom and experience needed to handle this situation.
This man has never even run a cash register but he thinks he’s qualified to run this country, give me a break!

He wallows in self pity stating that this is the “hardest 18 months any president has served” Really? Harder than when Ford had to take over for Nixon after Watergate or when JFK had to deal with the Cuba Missile Crisis or when Johnson had to fill in after JFK was assassinated? The list is endless, this man does not deserve this high honored post and he brings down the nobility of it a little every day.

Instead of embracing the will of the American people to close our borders to secure our country and jobs, he attacks the people of Arizona and sides with the criminal dictator of Mexico. Against the will of the people, he signs a health care bill full well knowing we cannot afford it.

Obama states that he will be adding yet another Czar to the list. “Oil Spill Czar” I guess he’ll call the position.
The new oil spill czar is not to be mistaken for the old oil spill czar, U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who was officially designated the "National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico" on April 30. Allen was appointed by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano 10 days after the disaster, which Napolitano and Obama claimed they had been on top of since “day one”

Obama deemed that Allen, Napolitano, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, environmental czar Carol Browner, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the rest of his self-declared "all hands on deck" crew insufficient. We told him this months ago.

I’ve seen enough of this clown. It took everything I could muster to watch the full 15 minute speech.
I would love to see him speak again after the conservatives have taken control of the house just to watch him squirm.

Obama Oil Inc.

Obama again shows where his alliance lies with his refusal to do what the people want.

He refused to accept help from the Dutch just 3 days into the disaster that is devastating the environment and economy on our southern coast. The offer could have saved massive amounts of damage caused by the leaking oil.
He refused to buy the hundreds of miles of fire boom from a Texas company that could have burned off a good portion of the oil before it hit the coast and damaged the wildlife.

Now, just this week, he refuses to use foreign ships to aid in blocking the spread of the oil.

His reasons? He’s trying to walk a thin line with the environmentalists by not burning the oil that will cause air pollution adding to the damage already being done by the leak.

In the case of refusing the use foreign ships; labor unions won’t let him.

BP does not want to seal the leak. They are still carting off millions of barrels of oil from it every day. They need the cash as the Obama administration continues to scold them and attack BP’s bank accounts.

Obama cannot see the big picture here. Letting this oil continue to spread will cause a worldwide disaster. The currents in the Atlantic could carry the oil all up the eastern sea board and even into Europe.

This administration has put a moratorium on off-shore oil extraction for 6 months which will further destroy the economy especially in Texas and Louisiana, this is ludicrous! It just shows that he or no one in his cabinet has a clue as what to do here. Their lack of business sense and management experience is causing us more than money. Instead of making informed decisions, he continues to politicize this disaster.

He needs to quit waggling his finger and lift it instead to help stop this catastrophe or get out of the way and let those that know what they are doing get it done.

What Part of NO Taxes Do They Not Understand?

Lawmakers in Lansing in the House Tax Committee are taking up four bills (HB 6217-20) that will expand sales tax to a number of items currently exempted such as: newspapers, movies, magazines and food items sold in vending machines.

They estimate that the revenue from this tax will be $40 to $55 million.
These officials that cannot say NO to a pay raise for state union workers during a budget crisis yet the show up with some huge stones to ask struggling tax payers and small businesses for more money.

The raise they gave these union workers will cost us $83 million, so apparently they cannot do the math as this will still leave us in the hole.

We are already taxed more than 46 other states in the union and the time has come to “adjust” a few things. Maybe it is time for a Constitutional Convention in Michigan so we can return the legislature to a part-time status; we know they won’t vote this measure in for themselves.

Call or write your representative and let him or her know how you feel about this and how you will vote in November if these bills pass.

Baseball and Politics

With all that is wrong in our country; Obama lying about the jobs he offered Sestak and Romanoff to bow out of the political races they were in, our freedoms being stripped daily by law makers in Lansing and DC, oil gushing out of the ocean floor, the national debt soaring out of sight and our taxes about to jump up again, you’d think the likes of Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Rep. John Dingell would have enough to do rather than get involved in possibly passing legislation to over-ride a bad call in a baseball game.

Yet here they are twitting, tweeting and grandstanding about what can they do to correct this grave misdeed. The fact is that the no-hitter Armando Galarraga threw but was taken away by a bad call by umpire Jim Joyce will be remembered much longer than if the game had gone off without this call. Both of these gentlemen acted graciously to each other and were apologetic, showing real class and excellent sportsmanship.

These politicians are looking for any crumb they can use to show us that they are now “the good guys” after Granholm and the democrats of this state have destroyed Detroit and the automakers.

Dingell has never held a real job. He graduated from college and went right to work with his father who was the US Representative in the same district for many years, once he retired, John slipped right in with same last name and has been trying to get some form of health care passed ever since, regardless of what was in it. Nobody really knew because so many wrote it but none of them took the time to actually read all of it.

Debbie Stabenow has done her fair share of damage, voting solidly along party lines answering the call to socialism. She wants to abolish the first amendment. She does not like talk radio seeing the only ones that can actually draw a crowd are the conservative stations.

Talk America (whom her husband was a large investor) could never make a go of it mainly because people can only put up with so much hatred and anger without any facts to back it up. They get tired of the lies and twisting of the stories that the far left spew in an effort to hide their own insecurities.

Jenny “No Jobs” Granholm had good intentions but went to the dark side and fell into the trance of the far-left. The world would be a better place if we could get by on wind and solar power alone, but that technology is a long way off and we need fossil fuels now to keep the economy rolling. Taxing our manufacturing base until they left the state and took our jobs with them was not a good move.

In 5 years, we were blown away along with all of our jobs, over 1 million of them.

Obama says he take full responsibility for the BP Oil spill in the Gulf but never misses a chance to blame everyone else. He is demonizing oil companies; he just does not realize how much they contribute to our economy, the jobs and wealth they bring to our southern states in the form of jobs and tax revenues.

Obama stated that his AG Eric Holder “looked into” the job offers to Sestak and Romanoff and that they were “nothing there” that everything was legal.
This would be the same as a defense attorney walking into court and telling the judge that his client is innocent and the judge saying “OK, case dismissed then”

We need politicians that step up and take real responsibility for their actions as Jim Joyce did and not blow it off like so many in the current administration do.

NJ Gov. Chris Christie

New Jersey governor Chris Christie met with about 150 citizens in a church gym to discuss his tax and budget cuts. One of his cuts he had asked that teachers forego their annual pay increase and pay an additional 1.5% of their annual salary towards their benefits. When the teachers union, National Education Association (NEA) said “NO” Christie was forced to impose cuts.

“Your union said that is the greatest assault on public education in the history of the state," Christie said. "That’s why the union has no credibility, stupid statements like that."

Teacher Rita Wilson, a Kearny resident, argued that if she were paid $3 an hour for the 30 children in her class, she’d be earning $83,000, and she makes nothing near that. Christie told her that her benefits added up to quite a bit to which Wilson, who has a master’s degree, said she was not being compensated for her education and experience, Christie said:
"Well, you know then that you don’t have to do it." The audience cheered and applauded.

If all political leaders had the backbone and intestinal fortitude that Christie is showing, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in. This country would be thriving beyond all imagination. Politicians are in the game to make the money, plain and simple.

Anybody that believes otherwise deserves to be fleeced.

When we go to the polls in August and November, remember these people are like teenagers, you can let them take the car but you still have to tell them to take the garbage out or clean their rooms. People we elect need to be reminded of why we put them there on a constant basis. It doesn’t take much; a quick email questioning them on an upcoming vote. This gets their attention.

Rant for the Day

Obama and the democrats say that spending under GW Bush was at an all time high when the truth of the matter is that when GW left office, he was at 2.1% of GDP just a few points above the WWII margin of 1.8%.

Under Obama’s plan, we are at now well above 4% and he did that in just one year. Think of the possibilities that he could do in 4 years or more.

Like Gov. Jennifer Granholm gushed in a speech about her plan for Michigan “In five years you are going to be blown away” Well that was the truth only we thought she meant that in a good way, that Michigan would be thriving again and jobs would be abundant, not that we’d lose a million jobs in our state and have another migration of our family, neighbors and friends to Texas and other states.

Texas by the way has no state tax on income and they have a part-time state legislature.

Obama campaigned as a moderate and even a conservative in some instances stating that he would rid Washington of the pork barrel spending by stripping the pork off all bills that came before him. So why was it no surprise when he went ahead and signed the Omnibus Bill with over 9,000 pieces of pork attached to it?

He promised that “no lobbyists would find a job in my cabinet” just two weeks after his election, he had nominated a lobbyist a day; Eric Holder, Tom Vilsack, William Lynn, David Hayes, Mark Patterson and Cecelia Munoz just to name a few. The list continues to grow as you read this.

Obama has toured the world explaining how bad the US and been to other countries and how we are not a Christian nation even though we were founded on Christian principals and that 85% of the country considers themselves to be Christians. He also likes to bow to radical dictators that use violence against their own people and he likes to give leaders of their countries the room to come onto our land and reprimand the American people as evil doers for wanting to protect our sovereignty by supporting our troops and protecting our borders.

This of his double-talk and lies goes on and on and on. I have heard as much as I can take from this man. I prefer to turn the channel whenever he appears on my TV, likewise when I hear him on the radio.

Common sense tells most Americans that this guy is useless and is doing everything he can to destroy our capitalistic ways and our free market system that has served us so well for over 200 years.

Calerdon's Mexico

I sat and watched as the president of Mexico Felipe Calderon criticized the US and blamed us for all that is wrong in his country. He attacked our 2nd amendment blaming it for 80% of the guns in Mexico. He blamed the people addicted to drugs here for causing the drug traffic on the Mexican border and causing the violence and deaths. He stated that Arizona’s immigration law would lead to racial profiling and that it "ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree."

The democratic members of congress stood up and cheered, and gave this little puke a standing ovation.

I never thought I would see the day that a foreign dictator would come onto American soil and reprimand us and be supported by so many obviously neutered liberal politicians.

Calderon of course did not mention that his country has its roots under his leadership in socialism that is again just another example of how it does not work. He did not mention the fact that his people that come to our country and use our resources such as; free health care, food stamps and welfare send back hundreds of millions of untaxed dollars a year to Mexico making it the second largest revenue producing industry in Mexico.

While there may be some truth to Calderon’s statements, if his country had a style of government that promoted business and jobs, maybe the people would be more likely to stay and help grow their country.

As many as one million a year escape the blight the Mexican government has produced and they account for 31% of all immigrants in the US and that reflect 10% of the Mexican population. It must give Calderon a warm fuzzy feeling to know that 10% of the people born in his country leave it.

Calderon also did not mention that fact that under Mexico’s immigration laws, you go to jail if you are found to be there illegally, up to 10 years in some cases.

If it were not for the cash these immigrants send back to support their families, you can bet he’d make it illegal for Mexican’s to cross the border.

Maybe the US should adopt Mexico’s immigration laws, but it doesn’t matter if the federal government will not enforce it as has been the case all along and the reason Arizona had to pass their law to protect its citizens.

Mexico's President Calderon on Immigration

Obama has again trashed the United States and allowed Mexico’s president Felipe Calderon to do the same from the front lawn of the White House. If I were “king” I would have immediately said to all “this press conference is over” and had Calderon escorted back to the border along Mexico and let him walk back through the very troubled area’s that his policies have caused.

After this country and the generosity of our people have taken in millions of Mexicans, fed them, educated them, gave them free health care he has the audacity to say that our immigration laws are “flawed” and promote “racism”
Can we enter his country illegally and get fed, get free health care or a first class education?

This socialist country of Calderon’s has its people starving for education, there’s no work to be had, they are oppressed by the government and they are being killed by drug cartels that bribe the politicians and the police force, it’s the only way to make a decent living in Mexico. These are the results of Calderon’s policies, so why should we continue to support his country when his policies have terrorized his.

Obama again spewed more lies about the Arizona law speaking from the White House lawn stated that the law was a “misdirection“ of a “broken immigration system” and that this law was “unprecedented”

The word “broken” is a favorite of the Democratic Party used this past 18 months to describe; heath care, energy systems, banks, financial markets, auto makers, infrastructure, you name it, they’ve put a “broken” in front of it and tried to take it over.

None of the crime spree’s brought on by these Mexican drug cartels on a daily basis are brought to the attention by our press, yet when a 2nd grader asks Michelle Obama why the president is looking to send her illegal mother back to Mexico makes every channel on the dial.

I am fed up with Obama bowing to these oppressive dictators and whipping the American people like a red-headed step-child telling the world that America has been “bad” and” arrogant”

This law does nothing more than mirror the federal immigration laws that our government has yet to enforce. He stated that the law could lead to racial profiling. What law won’t?

Obama continues to divide the country using racism. Commenting on the law he said that people would be suspect of being an illegal because of how they look, meaning Hispanic people, well yeah! If a police officer gives a description of a bank robber wouldn’t the term “white male” or “black female” be helpful in identifying the suspect?

More than 60%of the people in this country support Arizona’s law and if the federal government does not start enforcing the laws already in place, the rest of the states will follow.

Napolitano and Holder

Why does Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet Napolitano, Attorney General Eric Holder and State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, who have all gone on television to attack the Arizona Immigration Law and then admit they have yet to read the legislation still have job?

These idiots stumbled and stammered on National television when questioned by Sen. McCain on why they thought the Arizona Immigration Law was racially biased.

When McCain asked if they had read the bill, AG Eric Holder responded with “well I haven’t had the time, to uh, to read the whole thing. I uh – I browsed over it but no, I have not read it” Isn’t that his job?

Janet Napolitano, who has been a vocal critic of the new Arizona immigration law, told Sen. John McCain’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Monday that she had not reviewed the law in detail, but nevertheless repeated criticism she made in April on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the law is a “bad law enforcement law.”

Laura Ingraham on her radio show while interviewing Lou Dobbs, commented that “she would not hire Napolitano to rake the leaves in her backyard” I would have to agree.

Obama called the bill “misguided” and then dumped out this huge lie... “Now, suddenly, if you don’t have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to get harassed — that’s something that could potentially happen… That’s not the right way to go”

Governor Brewer and Commissioner Pierce of Arizona are standing up to these elitists bums. Gary Pierce in a letter to the Mayor of Los Angeles that if LA wanted to play the “boycott” game, he could suggest to Arizona’s power companies who supply power to LA to cut the cord or maybe they could increase costs. I’m sure this shut a few mouths in the LA city council meeting room.

All this commotion being thrown around by the liberals while they are spending our money faster that we can make it or they can print it; taking more of our freedoms everyday by passing laws such as the health care bill and unemployment is still at 10% and they’re telling us we’re going to have a jobless recovery?

What in the hell is that?

The libs are doing this to try and hide more of the same crap they’ve been doing. They very much want to pass Cap-n-Trade, the energy bill based on the lie that carbon is causing global warming. This was proven to be false but they don’t care about “science” they want more of our money; to limit what temperatures our homes should be kept at and what kind of car we can drive, how far we can drive it.

Fortunately, the vast majority of us are aware and we’re not buying into it. The polls and election results are beginning to reflect this, let’s keep the pressure up.

Where are the Fire Booms?

Despite the millions of dollars we have already paid in the form of taxes, the US did not have a single fire boom on hand to control the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Congress set a cap limit in the 1990 in response to the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska at $75 million that oil companies would be expected to pay to cover the costs of oil spill clean ups. This is known as the Oil Pollution Act. Later in 1994, the Clinton administration produced the "In-Situ Burn" plan in 1994 calling for responding to a major oil spill in the Gulf with the immediate use of fire booms.

Problem is, they never purchased the booms.

Again, our government has failed us by spending our money that was intended to protect us against these accidents by spending the money elsewhere, most likely on some pet project in some congressman’s back yard.

Congress is now back peddling trying to raise the cost that oil companies must pay to $10 billion retroactively.

Obama, being the largest recipient of campaign donations from BP Oil had exempted them from a meeting on offshore oil safety.

No matter what his chatter, it’s business as usual in DC.

Taxpayers will again take it on the chin to pay twice and more for lack of government responsibility. If they succeed in raising the cost to BP to $10 billion, gas prices will go up. The fire booms that are now on order (6) that we already paid for will be paid for again using our tax dollars.

This in turn will lead to all costs rising again on food and consumables that are delivered using any method that requires oil and gas, which is everything we use. This is just what we need at this time. the economy despite the democratic talking heads, is not recovering. This has a real possibility of putting us into a real depression, something the Obama administration will be over-joyed about bringing about the "change" they have been looking for as spelled out in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" that Obama taught in college and Hillary idolizes.

I can’t state strong enough the need to find the most conservative candidates and get them elected in 2010 and 2012. We thought the republicans were bad until this lot of criminals got put into the White House and are systematically destroying our country by “using whatever means possible” as quoted by Ms. Pelosi and “never let a crisis go to waste” Chief of Staff (as Sean Hannity refers to him) “Rahm Rambo Dead-Fish Emmanuel”

ObamaCare Revisited

Ronald Reagan was right on the money when he said, "One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. ... From here, it's a short step to all the rest of socialism."

Obama lied, cheated and bought votes to get his ObamaCare plan through that will do everything he said it wouldn’t; increase costs -- how many still believe that? He stated that America spent more money on health care "but wasn't any healthier." He grossly distorted the numbers of the chronically uninsured. Lifestyles and diets have more to do with longevity than medical care does.

He lied when he said wouldn’t support a “public option” but quite possibly his biggest lie was that he would not sign a bill that added a dime to the federal deficit. This was his major selling point.

Just two months after the bill was signed, the CBO urged on by Rep. Jerry Lewis, has published a cost comparison on the real numbers, not the ones Obama, Reid and Pelosi fed them and guess what? It is well over the $1 trillion mark they guaranteed it would not go.

What has socialized medicine done for other countries around the world? Look at Greece, Italy, Ireland, Canada and Brittan to name a few.

The people of Greece are rioting in the streets, not because they want to save their country from ruin but because they want their money. They could care less about their country so long as other people pay for their health care, wages, food, and other items promised to them under the socialist style government. The government there is over-burdened with socialized health care bills, over-paid public job wages through public led unions that rape the system that include incredible benefits featuring the right to retire at age 50.
The same things are happening in Ireland.

Italy is at 115% of GDP, meaning they spend $115 for every $100 they take in. Watch for them to go postal soon.

Canada and Brittan have spent every dime they can steal from their citizens and still cannot keep costs under control. Brittan has just elected a conservative leader to Parliament and is looking hard to find a way back to capitalism and free markets to get them out of the red.

And here in this country, we have the liberal left yo-yo’s that think this is the way to go. WTF?
Could it be any planner than the egg on your face? This is not rocket science; an ounce of common sense shows us that this WILL NOT WORK! This is not some story from years gone by history; this is happening right now.

We must support the most conservative candidates we can find in the upcoming elections. Get out and VOTE!

LA City Council

I find it fascinating that the city council members in Los Angeles passed a vote to boycott any business they do with Arizona. Most of this was called symbolic by the mainstream press because it will have little effect on Arizona as LA does very little business with AZ.

All this over the fact that the people or AZ are over-run by illegal immigrants that are destroying the state financially.

Arizonans fork out nearly $1.3 billion annually to pay for all of the costs incurred from illegal immigration; around $810 million for education, $400 million for health care related expenses, $80 million in incarceration costs, and the remainder in welfare benefits. All of this is required while Arizona runs a $500 million deficit annually and these are figures from 2004. They estimate that every year the number of illegal’s increase by 500,000.

There is a need for some unskilled labor in the US but not at this rate. Our country is being sold out by the liberals by destroying our manufacturing, garment and energy industries.

We have become of country where in order to make a decent wage; you have to be a highly skilled worker; such as a doctor, engineer, chemist, etc.

Arizona and Gov. Brewer are doing exactly what they are supposed to do; protect their citizens and their way of life. The federal government won’t do it. The law has been around for a long time but they refuse to enforce it.

The democrats want amnesty, that way they can add another 15 million democratic voters to prop up more of their liberal agenda.

This is a little message I sent to each and every member of the LA city council through the link at the top of this letter.

I'll tell you what "symbolic" is: NO more California wines, almonds, avocados, citrus juices or fruits in my house... Now that's symbolic!

Entitlements & Taxes

The age of entitlements is destroying our nation. The families of those that were killed on 9/11 are getting millions (an average of $1.185 million) through the federal government while the families of our fallen soldiers get squat. Now the people from the Oklahoma City bombings have organized and are asking for the same deal as was reported by Rush Limbaugh.

We can see where this is leading. This is the end result of 50 years of entitlements; everybody thinks the government owes then something, problem is, the government has no money or no way of generating it other than taking it from all of us.

So in effect, we will have to pay for what the radical Islamic terrorists did to these people while Obama bows to leaders of these countries, keeps apologizing for the U.S. and telling them how arrogant we are.

The federal government is good at one thing and that is finding creative ways to take more of our money even if it is not supported by our constitution. They use slippery techniques to hide these increases in the back of bills passed that have nothing to do with what the bill was intended such as adding health care expenses into the stimulus bill or tacking on a few cents on our phone, gas and electric bills.

Congress sees fit to make sure they get a raise while telling seniors they will not get a 3% raise they were supposed to get. Our state legislature did the same thing; they get an automatic raise unless two-thirds of the senate votes it down, but no such luxury is afforded to us when they want to raise our taxes.

The military was about to get a well needed pay increase but the Pentagon is yelling “Whoa, hold on here, that’s a lot of money” The Pentagon is facing a crunch in its budget and now doesn’t want to pay the people that do the work the money they deserve.

Military soldiers deserve to be paid at least the same amount police officers do, but the Pentagon doesn’t like using the proverbial “war chest” to pay them. Everybody wants to pass the buck and no one wants to be responsible for paying their fair share. The liberals are fond of giving away every bodies else’s money as long as it’s not theirs.

Everybody needs to pay their fair share in taxes. Why in the world are we taxed for “income”?

This by its name begs the question; why work if you’re going to punish me for earning?

A consumption tax would be a great idea if we could get it passed the letches in Washington that are control freaks and dubious greed mongers. With a consumption tax (sales tax) we would eliminate a whole slew of taxes that compiled on top of each other.

When you get your paycheck, you are paid with money that has already been taxed. When you buy gas for your car, you pay another tax using money that has already been taxed. If you make a mortgage payment, you pay more taxes with money that has already been taxed.

We need to alleviate these taxes and reduce the size and scope of government. They have grown too large and have gained too much control. We need to start by replacing everyone in congress that supports big government. In our current situation, that would be 99% of democrats. Once we replace these power and money seekers, we can work on the republicans that do not adhere to our constitution until we have achieved our goal of a conservative lead congress.

Conservative v/s Liberal

From the internet -- author unknown

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he does't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Free Speech

Why do liberals want to silence talk radio? Mainly because the truth hurts.

Liberal talk radio has never worked. The reason is because there is no substance to their reasoning; it’s all emotions. As was pointed out by Rick Santorum on the Bill Bennett Show, “When conservatives in the house give a lecture or speech on a bill they support, they show charts and graphs to indicate how this plan will work and why”. When a liberal gets up, it’s with pictures and stories of a person suffering”

They never give a solid reason of how the plan will work, what the true cost will be or what effect it will have on the future of our economy and country.

Let’s take the health care bill. Originally, the reason to pass this bill was to cover the uninsured and to reduce costs. John Dingell brought in a woman; Marcia Boehm in a wheelchair from New Jersey to help him sell this plan at a Town Hall meeting in Romulus, Mi in August of 2009. Costs were of no concern to Dingell, destroying the health care of 85% to satisfy the 15% made sense to him. All emotions and no facts.

Consider the outrageous quotes by Florida Rep. Alan Grayson; “We’re dealing with people on the other side who are utterly unscrupulous. These are foot-dragging -- knuckle dragging Neanderthals who known nothing but the word no” Again, emotions, no facts. More of this scholars quotes can be read here

We have to look at what the future holds for this country in the direction the present administration is taking us and we have great examples happening right now in Greece and Great Britain, They are rioting in the streets in Greece because the socialist government has spent every bodies money and now to get the country out of bankruptcy, they must make cut-backs. What a concept! Why didn’t they think of that before they went belly-up?

The same thing has happened in Great Britain. The working class are fed up with paying enormous amounts of taxes to support those that don’t. It has gotten to the point in these countries that if the government takes any more money in taxes, the people will not be able to pay mortgages, rent or automotive loans.

This is the direction that Obama and the democrats are trying to lead us. They think because they can pull it off because they are “smarter” than those in these other countries.

Far be it from me to question a leader that has no experience running a business, has never held a real job in the private sector, and whose main skill set seems to be that of a radical community organizer hell-bent on destroying the capitalist system that provided him the most opportunities and the best possible education in the world.

If it were not for talk radio and conservative news outlets, most of this information would be buried in the state-run media. Free speech must remain free in order for this republic to stand tall.

Obama-itis

Obama and his minions attack the people of this country that want a fiscally responsible and constitutionally limited government. They refer to them as right wing nut jobs, tea baggers, Timothy McVeigh wannabes and swastika carrying Nazi’s but they won’t call the people that attempt to blow up US cities and citizens what they are – terrorists.

The terrorists use car bombs and suicide bombs to blow up buildings, parking structures and kill innocent people.

This latest incident with the Times Square bomber is a case in point. If this jihadist would have carried out his mission, we wouldn’t be calling them “made made disasters” as Sherlock Napolitano wishes to refer to them.
We’d be having congressional hearings, senate hearings and if we had someone with balls in the White House, we’d be sequestering every nation that has contributed to the training and funding of these crimes instead of bowing and apologizing for the way the US has treated these poor souls.

If not for the US, most of these countries would still be riding a horse to work.

Obama accuses the US of using “25% of the world resources” when we are only “3% of the world population” So what! We’re not stealing the oil from the Middle East. We’re not robbing the Chinese of all the goods they make. We are paying for them and making these countries filthy rich in the process.

The US has created, designed and manufactured new technologies that have brought health, wealth, life-changing products and conveniences to the majority of the world and in some cases; we have given away the technologies.

How would our world look today had the United States stayed part of the British Empire and never became the world’s super power? Would Great Britain even be a country or would we all be speaking German or Japanese.

Obama needs to replaced; plain and simple. He has only contempt for this country and our way of life. He was programmed all his life starting with his Muslim Marxist father and right on up and through the teachings of Saul Alinsky and his hate-mongering, anti-American preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright who all taught him that America is a “demon” country.

We are a greedy and treacherous people that steal resources from other countries -- we kill women and babies to secure oil and other riches that we hold precious. When he looks at America’s culture and heritage, he sees only the bad. He believes we should take everything from the haves and give it to the have-nots until there is nothing left but the elitists and the have-nots.

The liberals are always in favor of spreading the wealth as long as I’s not their wealth being spread around.

Democrats have long pushed the lie that they are "for the poor" but history paints a different picture.
It was the Republicans that fought and freed the slaves. It was the Republicans that sought restitution to the American Indians for the way they were treated; it was the Republicans that led the Civil Rights movement, it was Strom Thurmond a democrat that holds the record for the longest filibuster when he tried to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
So why does the majority of minorities tend to vote democratic? What is it that the democrats sell that they scoop up?

Democrats sell one promise after another, lie after lie. They are for the poor. They are for keeping the poor -- poor.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Democrats are willing to destroy our way of life and our country by looking at amnesty as a way to increase their voter support. They know that by passing an amnesty bill, they will increase their voter support by 16 million people; that is if all of them register and actually vote. By continuing the nanny state and giving these people health care, welfare and food stamps, the people will stay at or under the poverty level and will pay no taxes, thus guaranteeing democratic voters.
The democrats are not for the poor; they are for the elitists and use the poor as a voter base.

Illegal drugs brought to this country across our southern border destroy 1.6 million teen lives a year. And that doesn’t take into account the number of family members that are affected by these kids addicted to these drugs.

Everyday drugs are being carried across our open border. Every week people die at the hands of drug cartels trafficking drugs across our border.

Our federal government has done nothing to enforce the laws that exist. The people of Arizona -- fed up with the wishy-washy John McCain and his left of center ways passed a state law that in effect, gives state law enforcement the tools in which to carry out the laws dictated by the federal statutes.

There is neither “profiling” nor “racism” in this bill. People will not have to do as the liberal talking heads and the state run media has suggested will happen with the “show me your papers” remarks assimilating the law with Gestapo law enforcement tactics. Nothing could be further from the truth. This law does nothing more than what the federal law already provides for.

Read it for yourself SB1070. If you don’t have time to read the entire law, read at least lines 16 – 31.

There are close to 23 million illegal aliens in this country. The non-Mexican count is 579,543. So you can do the math and see were the major problem is. Additional stat’s can be found here: http://immigrationcounters.com/

So much controversy over racial profiling has been brought up, but if you ask the legal Mexican immigrants and the Mexican-Americans if they mind being questioned, there is a resounding “no problem”. These people have or are in the process of paying their dues to become legal citizens of this country, they play by the rules set up to protect them and us and resent the fact that congress is even considering amnesty.

The illegals are not just taking white American jobs; they are taking jobs from the Mexican-Americans as well.

The cost of Social Services programs since 1996 to handle illegal immigration is a staggering $397+ billion. We cannot afford this cost any longer. We need to elect people to congress that will enforce the laws and protect our borders.

I believe that every one as the right to live in whichever country they want, but I also believe that in order to get the benefits of that country, you must play by the rules. Learn the heritage, learn the language and pay your fair share.
