YES WE CAN - The First 100 Days

Barack Obama celebrates the hundredth day of his Presidency this week. Liberals say he’s doing a bang up-job. Conservatives on the other hand say it’s been 100 days of complete horror. Obama has catered, and sometimes I think encouraged, the news media that his election to office as president as being close to that of FDR. From a well designed perception and plan Obama always brought up and talked about the Great Depression as a way to galvanize and to get more government intervention and take over in the private sector. But what has Obama and his liberal congress really achieved in its first 100 days that he has been in office to help the American people? Not much except a lot of talk and speeches aided by a TelePrompTer. Lets take a look at his first 100 days in office and see what he really has done for this country and the American people. This comes from the liberal press.

Obama passed a stimulus bill that was largely hammered out and completed before he got into office. It got no Republican votes in the House and only three in the Senate. He signed a spending bill that was all last year’s business. It even had earmarks from Obama, his chief of staff and other members of his Cabinet from their time in Congress. He signed a children’s health care bill that was largely unchanged from legislation that was vetoed by Bush. He appointed a treasury secretary who didn’t pay his taxes, he tried to appoint a Health and Human Services secretary who didn’t pay his taxes, and he decided not to appoint a government accountability czar who didn’t pay her taxes. Great job so far! But where is the change? Despite Obama calling for absolute 100 per cent earmark reform when he was running for office, the President signed a spending bill with over 8,000 earmarks in it on the 51st day of his Presidency, according to research by Americans for Tax Reform. So which is it reform or more pork?

What other things has the News Media reported on that has happen since our new president took office? Hear are things that they reported on: Obama visited the Jay Leno show. He made out okay on his NCAA college basketball pool. He fired the CEO of General Motors. He appeared on “60 Minutes” a couple of times. He went to a Bulls-Wizards game. He got a dog. His wife planted a garden. He did some traveling. He went to Canada and then to Europe. He gave the British prime minister some DVDs that don’t work in Europe. He gave the queen an iPod and asked the French and the Germans to spend more money which they declined. He asked the Europeans for more help in Afghanistan they also declined. He said he was sorry that America got the world into this mess. He said that we were a arrogant people. I wonder if he encluded his self in that statement.

He reversed a regulation that would have made it harder for labor union bosses to abscond and store up their members’ hard-earned pension money. They don’t want to have too much disclosure and exposure . He also shook hands with Hugo Chavez. The man that hates America and what we stand for. He lifted the travel ban to Cuba that six other democrat and republican presidents kept in place. He has promised to visit Russia and China. I wonder what he will give away or apologize for while he is there. And he also assisted and helped let everyone in the world know exactly what kind of interrogation techniques we use, just in case anybody wants to get ready if they ever get caught trying to terrorize the United States. The president hasn’t done much on the legislative front that wasn’t already cooked up in the last Congress. He hasn’t come up with a cap-and-trade proposal. We haven’t seen his conception of his health care proposal. His budget still isn’t done. We haven’t seen legislation that would regulate the financial services sector. We do know that his proposal to increase taxes on charities and mortgage deductions is dead in the water. We know that the Senate will not do cap and trade under reconciliation and may not do it at all. And while health care reform might happen under a reconciled plan, it is not a done deal. If it is a done deal will it be the best way to go for America?


The Obama administration has done a magnificent job of talking a good game when it comes to change and the "yes we can" thing. He has completely reworked and overhauled the art of political communication and has greatly kept the liberal news media bamboozled and falling all over him. That is not hard to do. So we have had a president that has talked a lot since he has been in office but has done nothing so far to benefit the American People. The poor decision making in reversing the Cuban embargo, cutting money from missile defense and the overall defense budget, and closing Guantanamo bay are not very good decisions and could do a lot of harm. A President's job is to keep the nation safe, free, and prosperous during his term in office. The things that he has done so far certainly does not show any of that. We are less safer now than we were 100 days ago.

I do not smoke but I find this very interesting, Obama signed into law on February 4th just after the sixteenth day of his presidency, the 156 percent tax increase on tobacco products, which comes out to 61 cents a pack. This is a cigarette tax increase that falls mostly on the shoulders of middle and low-income Americans, This does not go along with Obama’s statement that no Americans who make less than $250,000 will see a tax increase. Experts also say that not increasing taxes will be difficult after increasing federal spending by 8% over last year. The more I read about his promises and what he really does gets me confused to say the least. I think he needs his TelePrompTer reprogramed. No pun intended.

In the very end time will tell. This time next year, everyone will know if our new leader has moved the country forward as a whole, or just profited a select few. If he has moved us closer to a socialist form of government or closer to the ideas that this country was founded on. I'm certain that many of the politicians and voters will be singing another tune this time next year. People in the end will vote their wallets. If the economy is still in bad shape our new leader will be far less popular. If the economy isn't fixed in 18 months, the people will look at the currently government in a much more different way, then they will ask: What happen to the "yes we can?"

A Black Woman's Point of View- No He Can't

I was sent this article and I wanted to share it. It is a very good article and it is the truth.A very interesting look at a Black woman's point of view about our new president. I did some research on her and this is what I found out. Anne Wortham is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University and continuing Visiting Scholar at StanfordUniversity 's Hoover Institution. She is a member of the American
Sociological Association and the American Philosophical Association. She has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow, and honored as a
Distinguished Alumni of the Year by the National Association for Equal
Opportunity in Higher Education. In fall 1988 she was one of a select group of intellectuals who were featured in Bill Moyer's television series, "A World
of Ideas." The transcript of her conversation with Moyers has been published
in his book, A World of Ideas. Dr. Wortham is author of The Other Side of
Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness which analyzes how race consciousness is transformed into political strategies and policy
issues. She has published numerous articles on the implications
of individual rights for civil rights policy, and is currently writing a
book on theories of social and cultural marginality. Recently, she has
published articles on the significance of multiculturalism and
Afrocentrism in education, the politics of victimization and the social
and political impact of political correctness. Shortly after an interview in
2004 she was awarded tenure. This article by her is truthful and straight down the middle.

No He Can't
by Anne Wortham

Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated
South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my
choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not
require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life
is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of
America ..
I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no
elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are
no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from
me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human
flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United
States of America , all that I know about American race relations, and all
that I know about Barack Obama as a politician.

I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that
Obama asserts has come to America .. Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million
blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that
blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by
self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look
like them.

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know
about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former
colleagues at the Harvard University 's Kennedy School of Government.
I would have to believe that "fairness" is the equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is
speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that
economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believesthat he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.
Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my
consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in
Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would
have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits,
journalists, editorialist, bloggers and intellectuals declare that
capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan,
objected to their assumption that the particular version of the
anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version
of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your
children have elected a black man to the office of the president of
the United States , the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John
Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and
George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedy's have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like.
The self-righteous welfare statistics in the suburbs can
feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a black person. So,
toast yourselves: 60s counter cultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s
bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee
Harvard, Princeton , Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected
not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a black man who,
like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.
But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine
- what little there is left - for the chance to feel good. There is nothing
in me that can share your happy obliviousness.

No He Can't

Is This The Change You Wanted?

 
Obama promised if he was elected president there would be changes and he has kept his promises although the changes are not what most Americans, including some that voted for him, wanted. Since he has been elected to the highest office in this land we live in a more dangerous country. We are now living in a country were the president and his liberal congress along with his liberal crony's are taking away our freedoms a little at a time, like here a little and there a little.  He is a smooth talker and he has done his homework. We must put a stop to this at the end of these four years or we will have no Republic left and we will not no longer be a free people. Obama is a smooth operator as most people with any intelligent can see.
Lets look back at his outlook on several different things during his campaign and after his first 100 days in office to see were he is coming from and where he would like to take this nation. Buy the way he has a good start now and if you have not started to drink the Obama kool aid you will see as I do that he wants 100 percent government control over everything in this country. At the rate we are going we will be calling him king Obama before his four years are up!

• During his campaign Obama said that he wanted to spread the wealth around. What he was trying to make people think was this: he was going to take it from the rich and give it to the poor. Another Robin Hood. That is a slick way of saying that he wants to take money from hard working people and give it to people that will not work. They would rather rely on the welfare system to keep them. That is not right to begin with and the country can only stand that for a while before everybody is receiving hand outs. So my question is this: What happens after you can spread no wealth around. What happens after every man, women, and child depends on Obama spreading the wealth around and there is no more wealth to spread around. By that time we will have become just like all the of the failing communist Countries. We will be failing too. This is called government control.
• He has now started to bail out all the big corporations and banks with our tax dollars. He is doing it under the disguise of keeping them from going under. Really! The fact is when you put it all together it is not the helping of these corporations and banks he wants but rather control. GOVERNMENT CONTROL! Some of the banks are seeing that very thing now and are giving the money back. He is making the decisions for these companies and banks. That my friend is what communist nations do! Just stop and think. Is it help or government control?
• Obama as well as his attorney general are wanting more gun control. He said that he is not after compete gun control but look at his record and what his attorney general is doing. They are putting plans in place to get rid of all guns in this country. They are already saying that 90% of all guns used in the drug wars in Mexico come from the United States. Fox news has already proved them wrong. There are only 17% of the guns coming from the United States that are used by the drug dealers in Mexico.  If they can track all these guns that they say is going across the border why is it a problem to track illegal Mexicans coming to this country and send them back with a bag lunch? Once again it is government control over the people plain and simple. They are laying out the ground work to have total gun control. The experts from the past will tell you “gun control works” The problem is check out the experts! It is sad that we live in a country that wants to take the guns away from law abiding citizens that have never been arrested in their life. But it is coming to that. In this day and time that we are living in why take guns away from the citizens, especially since all the problems that we can for see with the terrorist. The answer once again is GOVERNMENT CONTROL!

• The days of the family doctor and that special care that you got are over, gone to be no more. There is hardly any, if any, family doctor visits to your house like it was in years past. There is no more doctors coming to your house with that little black bag, but this country still has the best doctors, the best hospitals, and the best treatments in the world. That is a fact. If you do not have insurance there are many places that a person can go for help and assistances. The is already a program in place for that. If you do not go it is your own fault. We do not need socialized medicine like so many other countries when we already have the best medical system on the face of the earth. People have already proved that socialized medicine does not work by coming to this country for treatment and by the stories told by the people of those countries who have socialized medicine. To give you an example Canada has socialized medicine but yet thousands from that country come to this country every year for medical treatment. Why would our government want socialized medicine when they already know that it does not work? GOVERNMENT CONTROL!
• Obama has in his cabinet a person who put out a memo to law enforcement agencies and the national guard that some returning soldiers might be considered terrorist. Some people might be considered terrorist and put on a watch list if they speak out against abortion, gun con control, high taxes, or like some at the resent tea parties. It is a shame because these people would not know what a real terrorist was if one stood in front of them! If you speak out you will soon be on some kind of watch list. Once again it is GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
• During his campaign for president he made the statement that this country needs a well armed home land security force as big as the armed forces to deal with the security of this nation and that force should only answer to him. When he made that statement then everybody should have raised their heads and turned on their radar. History proves what that is for. We know that Hitler and Stalin both did that and they did it for one purpose. GOVERNMENT CONTROL over the people. We already have the CIA, FBI, and the National security agencies that were designed to protect this country if they were only given the chance to do so. Untie their hands and let them protect us. People have lived so care free in this country for so long they do not get it. We are close (if Obama has his way) to losing our freedom as we know it.
• His wife said that The United States was a mean country. Obama told the European Nations that we were an arrogant people. His former so called preacher stands behind the pulpit and damns America calling the chickens to come home and roost. Now no one who goes to a church can not go for twenty years and not hear some of this rhetoric that The Rev Wright was spewing from  behind the pulpit. I know what the preacher talks about even when I do not go and Obama was no different. America is the most generous country on the face of the earth. So I must say to the First Lady of the country, that is so mean, wait until your husband gets done with this country and then you will know what mean is. Your husband is bring the chickens home to roost fast. Mr. President in my life time I have never seen a president more arrogant and conceded as you are. I have never seen a president who wants so much control as you do.

To finish this article I want my liberal friends and conservative friends to know that I do not hate Obama. Hate is not in my vocabulary. I do, however, think that his policies and his over all game plan will lead this country to destruction and the Republic as we know it will no longer exist. He has installed some of the most radical liberals there are in key positions in this country as well as his cabinet. I also think that he has a hidden agenda that is becoming more plain everyday. For the next four years we will have to deal with the most radical president ever elected to office, his liberal cabinet, and a far left liberal democrat congress. There will be no balances or checks. Think about it!

Our Miss Brooks

Our new community organizer/president has just put into a high ranking CIA office Rosa Brooks who just about way off the scale as a liberal. She was a frequent critic of the Bush administration and her criticism goes beyond mere criticism and into the loony conspiracy theories and  hate. This is what our president has put into a high position in the CIA! In October 2007 she wrote: "George Bush and Dick Cheney shouldn't be treated like criminals who deserve punishment. They should be treated like psychotics who need treatment." This is what’s now in a top position of the CIA. She wrote in March 2009: "The Bush administration's big legal lies paved the way for some of the most shameful episodes in our history, including the official authorization of torture." Ms. Brooks also supported the Iraqi who threw his shoes at President Bush: She said "He reminded the powerful and powerless alike that a single symbolic gesture can be more effective than a thousand grenades." Now this is coming from a official who is now in the Obama administration in a key position in the CIA.The appointment of Rosa Brooks to a mid level post in the defense department has largely gone under the radar, however it is one of the most perplexing and radical appointments of the Obama administration. Rosa Brooks who was most recently an L.A. Times columnist, now heads to the Pentagon. What headlines! In her new job with the Pentagon, Rosa Brooks will have top security clearance. She will have have access to more of our secrets than most if not all Congressmen and Senators. Now tell me that is not scary.
She obviously hates Jews. that is plain to see by some of her statements. She said "Hamas has fired thousands of rockets at Israel, but the rockets have killed only a handful of Israelis.” What is the difference between a handful of human lives and a large amount of human lives. Lives are still lost and there are still grieving love ones. She said “In Israel, politicians jockeying for power have launched the most lethal military assault on Palestinian territory in decades.”  Anybody know that what Israel does is to protect their self from the rockets and suicide bombers that kill innocent Israelis. Has Rosa Brooks ever thought about the lethal suicide assaults on the innocent Israelis citizens? Has she ever thought why Israel has attacked Palestinian or has she just fell off a turnip truck? She hates the United States and what it stands for, that is plain to see by her statements that she has made in the past. "Rosa Brooks believes that President Bush and his Administration should be tried at the Geneva Convention as war criminals."  Because we have had eight years of no attacks in this country and because Bush carried the fight to the enemy she calls him a war criminal. I tell you if she lived in any other country and said that she would be in jail!
Rosa Brooks belongs to several organizations that believe in the elimination of capitalism in America. Rosa Brooks will work for Undersecretary Of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy who is one of the most hateful left-wing columnist in the country who hates the Military and Conservatives. Rosa has proved to be a zealot against the military and she, will probably share secrets with the her left-wing media friends if she does not like military policy in the Pentagon. I say this because of all her anti American statements. Why would anybody especially the president put somebody like her in the position that she is in.  The nomination of Rosa Brooks, Harold Koh and Timothy Geithner and several other nominees that President Obama has appointed to high-level positions shows that this is a strong move toward a Socialist government for our country. You have to wonder and worry how many extreme leftists Obama is going to appoint to powerful and sensitive positions. Obama's promise of change is coming about. Change from a Constitutional Republic to a dictatorial socialist state.
The statements made here are public facts that anyone can go on the world wide web and find. Just type her name in and see as I did if you want to. If you wait for the news papers to tell you, you will never hear a thing. Their love affair with Obama will never end and the only way you will ever hear all the truth is to find it yourself. Rosa Brooks is just one of his appointments that I researched. Are the rest like her?

The Amazing World of Politics

Even before 911 we had terrorist that tried to do the United States harm and sometimes did
us harm. For instants the first attack on the world trade center, the marine barracks in
Lebanon, the US Cole. In each instance we had people who were trying to kill Americans and
in some of the cases there was a great loss of life. I can remember seeing the blood stained
and bloody victims on TV, also the awful damaged those attacks caused. It will forever be on
my mine and so will the attacks against the world trade center were over two thousand people
lost there life in one day. There was also the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania were scores
of people lost there lives. Do not forget about the husbands, wives, and children who will never see their loved ones again. This all happened in our country! Since then we have seen people beheaded, killed by roadside bombs, and kidnapped. and slaughtered for no reason by people who have a crazy religion that wants to rule the world and will do what ever it takes to do just that.
We had a president in the past who was to busy in the oval office doing his thing and had the
chance to get rid of the main person behind the 911 attack and other attacks and he did not take advantage of the chance. Like I said he was busy with personal matters in the oval office. When
he did strike back at the terrorist what did he do? He sent a few missiles over and destroyed a
aspirin factory. We don't we hear more of this?
The very thought of this government trying to prosecute officials in the past administration is
somehow not right. It smells of politics. We had a president that kept us safe for eight years. There
were no more attacks on American soil, no more American Civilians killed and we were all, republicans, democrats, independents, liberals, and conservatives alike safe in our homes and on the streets of this nation. We had a president that stood firm and unwavering against the threats. He would not compromise the values of this great nation. We need to thank him and his administration for that. As a independent I did not agree with every thing Bush did especially about the border problem, but he was right on about the terrorist problem and for that he gets no thanks by a lot of people. He cared the fight to them instead of them bringing the battle here. He made us safe America, but how much longer will we be safe under this current administration?
The very policies that were put into place by him to check and stop the terrorist are now being dismantled by our new leader. We now have a leader that not only bows and just about kisses the feet of our enemies, but wants to negotiate with them. You do not and can not negotiate with people who will not compromise and it is their way or no way at all. President Bush knew that. You do not have to fall off a turnip truck to see that these people want to convert the world to Islam and with them there is no compromise or meeting someone half way. But Obama is still riding that turnip truck and wants to use his charm on them which really does no good and they are laughing at him. He might have been a good community organizer but president he is not! The presidency is out of his league. He is a lost ball in high grass.
We have a administration that has tied the hands of the CIA so it is much harder for them to obtain any kind of information from the terrorist of any value. They are calling things such as water boarding, putting bugs in a small room with the terrorist, keeping the terrorist from sleeping, torture. They are wrong. There was nothing done to hurt or endanger the lives of anyone. The was also a doctor right there the whole time. No body had their finger nails pulled out, leg or arms broke, eye put out, or cut or mutilated in any way or were they starved. Yet information was got from them that stopped attacks on American soil were people would have been killed. Why will not people use some sense and think. all this has done is to en bold the enemy to do even more to try to destroy this nation. It has also weaken the CIA from doing their jobs because they will be scared that they will not have any backing by our leader. In times such as theses we need a strong leader who will not bow or kiss the *&# ( well I had better say the ring so I will not get flagged) of the enemy.
The base that held the prisoners at Guantanamo is being shut down by our new president and some of the prisoners that were held there are already back on the front lines fighting our soldiers again. I will guarantee that the others are plotting right now to do damage to this country. What are the rest of them going to do when they get out? The same thing. KILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS THATS WHAT! what a disgrace to our nation to have this done.
A blind man can see why this is being done. It is not for any rights of the terrorist or compassion on them. No sir, it is being done to pacify the Bush haters at the expense of our very freedom and way of life. I say enough is enough, We are in a war that must be won at all cost for us to remain a free nation. It is time to stop the politics and be Americans, all of us with a common goal, to beat the enemy of our nation and once again say we live in the land of the home of the free and the brave. Let these terrorist know that we do no live in a land that says: We're sorry, so sorry, please except our apology, we are so arrogant, and we have made mistakes. Please forgive us. This is what is happening today by our new (it is time for a change, yes we can) president. We are headed down the road for disaster and Obama is the pied piper who is leading us.
In closing I want to say this because I know that there are going to be some comments against what i have said. Let us put aside being to the left or being to the right. Let us put up being democrat or republican. Let us all be united as Americans to meet this threat that is before us and have a common goal, VICTORY OVER OUR ENEMIES! Let us come together and say victory is ours and we will not be defeated because we stand together as a united people with one purpose in mind and that is to be free.

Support Your Police

To The People of Salisbury, Maryland
Police are called a lot of things, Smokey, The Bear, Barney, County Monty, town clown, and a lot of other names that are not even worthy mentioning. You hear people say that if you want to find a cop go to the local donut shop. Don't they have a right to a cup of coffee and donut like so many other people? A police officer should be respected. That badge on his chest represents law and order. Well guess what the police were not at the donut shop a couple of nights ago. They were on the job and because of that a women is safe and no more will this criminal violate the law. Why is it that people always want to find the worst in people who protect us. We hire these men and women and send them to school to be trained in their jobs and when they do their jobs by the book and do what they are trained to do there is a out cry by some people. What a shame. If this man broke into my house I would have shot him and then called the police. Then, to some people, I would have been the bad guy. Some people are against gun ownership for the private citizen even to protect their self and now they are against police protecting you by shooting someone in the line of duty. No wonder there is so much crime.

I was a police officer for seven years and I know the dangers, the job, and all the unnecessary crap that the police officers have to take. I know what it is like to see a police officer, who is one of your best friends, shot and laying in the yard dying while I'm being shot at. I'm speaking of Trooper Bill Mills who I will never be able to drink a cup of coffee or eat a donut with again. He was a find man, with a family, who was just doing his job. I know what it is to have a knife thrown at me, to be shoot at, to have a chair broke across my back while on duty. I know how dangerous it is to be in close quarters with a man waving a knife at you. No, these officers did the right thing and they will be back on the streets doing their duty once again. We need to be thankful for that. One thing for sure we do not have a stabbed or injured police officer.

The problem is that we are living in a world that rewards the criminal and cries foul to the police department. We live in a world that thinks differently than it use to. It use to be: "if you did the crime you did the time" What happen to that? Well let's see. Someone has suggested that the criminal has rights. They are right. Everybody in this country has the right to due process. But that is how it always has been. you have a right to a fair and speedy trail. You are innocent until proved guilty and twelve people have to agree that you are guilty. That is the rule of law that is guaranteed to us under the constitution of theses United States.

However due process to some people is a lot different than what was intended. Due process to them is making sure the criminal has cable TV in their cell, a telephone to use, food to eat, Gyms, basketball courts, etc. We want to make them feel at home so they can be let out early and do the same thing over again, but this time they are smarter criminals because they learn by their mistakes. We must make sure that their rights are not violated, but what about the person who was robbed, mugged, assaulted, raped, or murdered? What about their rights? We have heard about the man being shot by police and some people are outraged about it, but what about the women who's house was broke into? What about saying something about how she must have been terrified. What about her feelings and her rights? I can tell you, long after this is over and you hear of it no more this woman will still have problems sleeping, being by herself, and just plain being scared. Let the same thing happen to you and you will see what she is going through and will go through. Most of the time if you really stop and think about it the victim is always the loser.

We always are looking for fault with our police. They are not doing this or that right. They are giving out to many tickets, they are spending to much time at the donut shop. They are always sitting in their cars. Why not for just once say what they are doing right. Give them credit for a job well done and thanks from a great full community for their timely response to this incident. Your house might be next. Your life could be on the line next and then you will be glad to see those fine men and women coming to your rescue. Do you know what Salisbury would be like with no police at all?

If we ever want to get a grip on crime in this country and that also includes terrorism then some people are going to have to get a different mind set. They are going to have to get a grip on life. These Salisbury Police Officers did what they were trained and are payed to do. They did what they were expected to do. PROTECT YOU THE CITIZEN! I thank them for a job well done and I would be proud to shake their hands.

The Great American Sideshow

Since our president has been installed as our leader we have seen a president of appeasement. He has done many things that a president just does not do. He went to Europe and made the statement: America is arrogant. He made that statement to make himself look good and appease the European liberals and socialist. He bowed to and kissed the ring of the Saudi King, something a president of this country does not do. That was a act of submission. During a recent trip Obama made himself friendly to the ruler of Venezuela (Chavez) who is just another lovable lefty in the left wing news papers and news outlets in this country. He excepted a book from Chavez that blast the United States. Is this leadership? In noway it is leadership. It is called appeasement. You can not buy off (an aggressor) by concessions, by soft words, by bowing to them, usually at the sacrifice of principles and that is exactly what our president is doing. His ideas and beliefs are not American. They are socialist and wrong. They are one of appeasement.
We only need to look at history to see were our president is wrong in his actions. In the 1930s England's prime minister (Chamberlain) went to Germany and appeased Hitler and conceded to his wishes to make peace and come home with a "things are going to be okay" and everybody knows what happen next. Hitler took over nearly all of Europe. You can not win by appease your enemy. You win by standing tall and being strong. This is something that Obama does not understand nor does he want to understand. To be a strong country you must have a strong leader and a strong government.
This country of ours is slowly turning its back on Israel. We must realize how great of a ally that this tiny nation is to us. They have voted and took the side of the United States more times than any other country including England. Why do you think that Israel is called the "Little Satan?" and the United States is called the "Big Satan"? Did you know that there was a leftest peace movement in Israel that no longer exist? Israel tried to give land away for peace. That peace movement does not exist anymore because they have found out that no amount of appeasement will help against people who want to take your heads off, who want all your land, who want to wipe you off the face of the earth. They are right. My question is when is our President and congress are going to get it. We must get out of this mind set that somehow appeasement can buy peace because it never has worked and it never will work.
The United States needs strong leadership right now and that is something we are not getting. What we are getting is a president that appeases every terrorist that comes down the pike, every communist leader he meets. What we have here is a president that is giving away our country by appeasement, to illegals, to people who will not work in a pie shop. Soon capitolizm and freedom, as most Americans know it, will be a thing of the past because of the wreck less notions of a community organizer who has now become the highest leader in the land. Obama is selling our country out and most Americans do not even see it.

Are You A Right Wing Extremist?

Did you know that your government considers you to be a "right wing extremist if you believe in the second amendment?"  Well I'm sorry to say that it is true and I would like to share some things that I have read that are public documents that all can look up and read if they want to. According to news reports, the Department of Homeland Security is  warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist  activity," labeling and including in their report citizens opposed to new firearms restrictions, returning veterans and conservatives as "right wing extremists" and associating them with white supremacists and violent anti government groups. This is said about American Citizens who stand behind the second amendment  that gives them the right to bear arms. The government is now putting a label on us. If it sounds hard to believe read it yourself. It appears that the Obama Administration, and especially the Department of Homeland Security under Janet Napolitano, is trying to demonize (make it look wrong) and stop political dissent. And guess who's directly in their cross hairs: supporters of the Second Amendment, including veterans and gun owners. Who is funding this kind of nonsense? ,The tax payer. Why would your government spend your money attacking you, instead of spending your money protecting you?  The report also says that Congressional debates about immigration and gun control make extremist groups suspicious and give them a rallying cry: This is coming from our government! Because some of us oppose illegals and their use of the system we are being labeled as suspicious. Where is freedom of speech going. I will tell you where: Down the tube along with a lot of our other rights as Americans. "It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among right wing extremists," the report said. Why are they worried? Because since November records show that, more than seven million people have applied for criminal background checks in order to buy weapons. And as far as the Obama administration is concerned, buying guns equals "weapons  stockpiling," buying ammo equals "hoarding of ammunition," and expressing concern about Congress passing gun control legislation qualifies YOU as part of an "extremist group."  This is the way liberals think and we will see soon that ammunition, guns of all types will be hard to come by and permits will be a thing of the past. If you are buying guns and ammunition you  are now being viewed as a dangerous rightwing extremist that law enforcement officials need to be watching out for! This is OUTRAGEOUS and if we do not fight this in the courts and congress we will soon have no guns and even no voice! According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous "militia member": The United Nations, The New World Order, Gun Control, The violation of Posse Comitatus, The Federal Reserve, The Income Tax, The Ammunition and Accountability Act, A possible Constitutional Convention, The North American Union, Universal Service Program, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Abortion, Illegal Immigration . Well, there you have it! You see? You ARE a dangerous right wing extremist!  As ridiculous as that report seems, it was distributed to law enforcement officials across the state of Missouri. And it wasn't until the state government was FLOODED with protests from patriotic Americans across the country, that they finally came out and denounced and retracted the MIAC document.  Now, it's happened again -- but this time, at the Federal level! Our own government is turning against us, and unless there is a HUGE outpouring of outrage from every part of this nation, it will just keep getting WORSE! The people in our government today including the president is trying to move our country from a free nation to a nation of socialism. and we need to wake up. Interestingly enough, no left-leaning political ideologies were identified. No Islamic extremists. No environmental extremists. Only people holding "conservative" or "right-wing" philosophies and beliefs were identified in BOTH the MIAC report AND the Homeland Security "assessment." This shouldn't be too surprising: both of these reports are similar to several other reports currently circulating around various State police agencies, courtesy of DHS-sponsored "Fusion Centers." MIAC is one of those Centers, sponsored by the DHS! So now, even veterans are targets of our own government: The Homeland Security assessment specifically says that "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat." PLEASE, don't think I'm making a "big deal" out of nothing! Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban specifically told the press, "This is nothing unusual," and added that the Homeland Security Department did this "to prevent another Tim McVeigh from ever happening again." The authors of this assessment are pushing an "Us against Them" philosophy. You and I are being marginalized and labeled as fringe kooks, "right wing extremists," so that it will be easier to violate our liberties and take away our right to keep and bear arms in the future. This is a coming event that must be stopped by many phone calls, faxes, and emails to our congressman.The only thing that will put a STOP to this nonsense is a huge public outcry opposing it. If we do nothing, however, it will soon be too late to do anything. We either stop it NOW, or it will grow into an out-of-control monster that will monitor and control the personal opinions and speech of every man, woman, and child in this country. As patriotic Americans, we need to DEMAND that this outrageous report be CONDEMNED by our Representatives in Congress, and RETRACTED by the Obama administration -- NOW not later. Later will be to late They, along with Secretary Napolitano, owe every conservative American, every veteran and every gun owner who supports limited government an apology. It's ironic, isn't it, that Barack Obama's friend, William Ayers, is a convicted left wing terrorist bomber, but nothing in this report suggests monitoring HIS activities. This administration needs to be reminded that its words and actions have consequences, and irresponsible statements, reports and actions fuel fires that are counterproductive to democracy in America. The way that this country is going we will have no constitution or freedom. We are heading fast toward a country ruled by a hand full of people or in other words to put it blunt we will soon be living in "OBAMA LAND" A land were you will have no say in government, no constitution, no guns, and no liberty. This is what we are headed for under our present leadership.  You might not think so but remember some of Obama's campaign rhetoric? He wants to have a security force just as big as the army and they would only answer to him. Remember when he said some of the constitution was out dated and needs to be re written? He wants to redesign the American flag. If alarm bells are not going off by now then they never will. We are heading fast to becoming a nation with no liberty, no rights, a communist style country.

Are You Tired Of Being Fed Up?

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president that:

• Voted for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it? Who would every think that anybody that was elected to represent the people in congress would do such a thing.Well it is kind of easy when it is not their money that they are spending.
  
• Is spending trillions of borrowed dollars, That we the American Tax Payer will have to struggle to pay and then it is so huge that it will be leaving a leaving a debt our great-grandchildren and their children will have to repay. What kind of government is this?
  
• Continually give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected? This is not helping the tax payer. Special interest groups have only their agenda and not what is best for the American People nor is it for all the American people.
  

• Want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others? This is insanity to have elected officials that would want to do this. This is socialism and has never worked. The proper name for this is communism and it is happening in our beloved country by elected officials who have their agenda in mind and not the best interest for the American Public.
  
• Punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not? We are giving away millions of tax payer dollars to bail out companies and banks that need to bail their own self out or declare bankruptcy. Who will bail out the tax payer? It will never be done by spreading the wealth around.
  

• Are using the financial hurt of millions of Americans as an opportunity to push their political agenda and the agenda of special interest groups that will in no way help the American public as a whole.
• Is running up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China? It is bad enough that most of the goods sold in this country come from China but now the Chinese are holding a mortgage to our country through all the loans they have given us that sooner or later they are going to recall.
  
• Want government controlled health care? This is the same as telling us when and where we can go to a doctor, what kind of treatment we can have and for how long. Do we need this from people who are not even in the medical profession?
  
• Want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections? If this is done we will have even more rights taken away. what this is being done for is to put you on display before everybody and to intimidate you.
  
• Refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country? This in its self is a major problem that should be dealt with. Our borders are being over flowed with illegals that are taking our jobs away from us, tapping out our welfare system to the max and causing a increase in our jail system.
  
• Appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department? In other words we have no defender at all against child pornography. just what is this man defended us against? He is for gun control, and controling every part of your life. This all starts with gun control.
  
• Want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will? This goes against the very core beliefs that this country was founded on. Can we still be a Republic that has the right to the rule of law or have we turned into a communist state that allows no expression of freedom?
  
• Want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels? How ridiculous is that? We are already paying outrageous prices for utilities now and with this new tax there will be even more of a burden.
  
• Want to reduce your tax deductible for charitable gifts?
• Take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget which in no way for the most part does not help the average tax payer.
• That they want to take away your right to keep and bear arms. Something that was guaranteed by the second amendment. When that right is taken away then you will not have no rights.
  

If you are fed up with the things listed above (like I am) and the many other issues that are not being handled right by our congress and president them call them and let them know that you have a voice and you will be heard! Use your phone and call Congress and the President . (Representative and Senators, 202-224-3121; President, 202-456-1414). Tell Every American about these phone numbers and get them to call and then forward to their friends. Together let us make a difference before it is to late. Our nation is being taken from us and we are being duped by the most liberal government ever. Wake up America before it is to late.

Hate Mail

Although I'm sixty three years old I have never realized how vicious and hurtful people can be if they are opposed to your ideas and beliefs. The world is spinning out of control and most of the people that are in it. During the past few months as I have put several articles on my blog dealing with conservative and Christian issues in the Daily times, I have received some of the most hateful and hurtful email that is imaginable. It is a shame that we now live in a country filled with so much hate. Hate for a way of life that has brought us through many wars, dangers, and problems.

I express opinions that some do not like and disagree with, but so do they. The difference is I'm not vicious or hateful to anything they say that I disagree with. I send no hateful, or do I attack anyone, in the emails that I send. But it is not true with most of the liberal left. Not all liberals are this way. If anything is said about the Christian Religion or Conservatism you will not believe the hate that is sent and felt. This is the truth. However I'm glad to say that most of the emails that I receive are mostly positive, even by some liberals who, just as I do, want things right in our country. Their ideas about how to go about it are just different than mine. That is what makes our country so great. But hate should never have a place in any problem or disagreement.

Not one time in any of my articles have I said that I hated atheist, homosexuals, abortionist, liberals, or any certain group of people. I do not agree with their positions but I do not hate them. I am a conservative but I did not go along with everything that Our former president did. I did not vote for President Obama or do I believe in his policies and rhetoric. But he is my president and I will not wish him wrong.

We as Americans need to stop fighting each other and start fighting the real enemies of this country such as terrorism, high taxes, illegals, and the many pork projects that our government is spending our tax dollars on. We as a nation can not get victory over anything as long as there is opposition from within. There is a way way to disagree with out hate.

The Determined Obama

As I watch Barack Obama's first days in office I think that he is resolved and bent to repeat every destructive misjudgment of the past, here in the United States and across our borders to other countries as well. Obama has already repeated a past policy of raising taxes on high income people, He has and is repeating the policy of Franklin Roosevelt  who tried to manage the economy to the smallest detail. This is most certainly the wrong approach to solve our nation's problems. We never have come out ahead when government tried to take charge of the economy and we never will. This is just one of the problems that we face with this community organizer turn president. Franklin Roosevelt's policy's did not help this country get out of the get depression. It was World War 11 that got us out of the depression.

What scares me the most he is clueless to foreign policy and the protection of this country. But what more could you expect from a community organizer.  He is down playing the dangers, present and future, of Islamic terrorist while at the same time he is trying to have a discussion with them. At the same time they are laughing at us. Anybody with any sense knows that you do not have talks with people who are sworn to kill you. Now if we want to be politically correct we must not say such things. We can no longer call the fight against terrorism: " THE WAR ON TERROR"  Has political correctness in this country gone to far.  We can not even be warned about the fanatical and suicidal hatred  these extremist have for our country. Are we as Americans to think that everything is lovely?

We see that North Korea and Iran have nuclear ambitions. We all know that either one of these two countries would use what ever means they had to destroy this country and we now have a president who wants the world to know that not only does he wants to cut back on  our military, Which he already has, but to do away with our nuclear arsenal all together when we have rouge countries trying to build missiles that will reach here. The rate and course that Obama wants to take us on is one of total destruction. Who's side is our president on on? We can not rely on that Sewer on the east river in New York called the United Nations to do anything because that is a total waste of time as we all know. We need action not talk. you do not trust or hold talks with people that want to kill you.

We also have a president telling the world that we are no longer a Christian nation, but a nation of citizens. What kind of  talk is that. All nations are nations of citizens. There is a difference with our country. It was founded by our fore fathers on Christians principles. They evoked the creators name in everything they said and done. Look at some of the documents in our countries archives and you will see that.  It is true that we have other religions in this country but we are still a Christian nation. Those Christian roots will always be there.

I have not fell off a turnip truck nor have I drank any of the Obama kool aid. I'm not blind either and I can see what is taking place. You do not win wars, and that is what we are in, by bowing to the heads of Islamic countries and making such statements as: "Americans Are Arrogant!"  We will never have a strong nation when we have a president that goes to Europe and apologizes for his country that has always stood for the right of all people. a teleprompter is okay for political speeches but not for fighting terrorism. 

TOTAL CONTROL

We have debated the issue of gun control for years and years now and it seems like we are getting no where with this debate except for the passing of hundreds of laws that does no good. Theses laws does not keep the guns out of the hands of criminals only the law abiding citizens who are then at the mercy of the criminal.

I don't believe the politicians are in touch with the common people or do they want to be in touch. They are not the same as they were in years gone by. There is a hidden agenda with these politicians. They need to be asked is it gun control or people control that you are after?The only sure defense between a lawful citizen and a thug is his gun. Sen Feinstein realizes this and has said that her family was threatened by someone and she thought she should have a conceal carry permit but she opposes the rest of us the same freedom of choice. Why is that? We need to take our country back from these kind of politicians and tell Hillary, Holder, Obama and the rest of the gun control people that this is America with a constitution that gives us the right to bear arms. Neither on of these politicians needs a gun for protection because they all have security men around them twenty four hours a day and each one of them is armed.

These people need to either support the constitution as they swore to do or leave office and move to a country that believes as they do. China would like to have them and so would Russia and Cuba. When you make a law that goes against the constitutionally guaranteed right of the American Citizen to keep and bear arms you have declared war on the rights of the American people. Anything less than that makes those politicians LIARS to the people and TRAITORS to the principals that was our founding fathers. Our government is infested with these people who care not about the average mans rights or what is best for our country. They have their own special agenda and they could care less about the American citizens rights.

Why is firearms such a problem now when forty of fifty years ago it was not a hardly a problem at all? Forty or fifty years ago there was hardly, if any, gun control laws on the books and people were a lot safer then. Why was this so? It was because nearly everybody had a gun of some type and knew how to use it. Just that fact alone stopped many a crime such as breaking and entering, robbery, and murders. It did not stop all of them but there was no where as many crimes committed in those days as it is now. If that is the case, and it is, then where is all the crime in this country coming from. Well if you sit down and ready take a good look what has happen in this country over the past several decades a blind man could see it.

As I said in many of my commentaries I'm 63 years old and I have seen a lot in this country and I no probably a lot of you readers have also. What amazes me is that the blame is never put where it should go. The blame for all the increase in violence over the past decades is the fault of the politicians and court officials who make the decisions, not the guns used in the crimes. Let me go deeper into this topic because I already know there are people who disagree with me. 

When I was a teenager I could go hunting in any woods as long as I had a hunting licenses. Property owners did not care as long as you did what was right. You could go into any store and buy a gun to go hunting with. You could walk down the side of the road with it as long as it was unloaded and you could have it in your car as long as it was unloaded. You did not have to sign your name every time you bought a box of ammunition for the gun and you could buy as many boxes of shells as you wanted at one time. There was not hundreds of of laws on the books controlling the use of a gun. But that is not the way it is now. You even have to take a gun safety course now to get a hunting licenses. It use to be that the parent gave their children all the lessons that they needed and they did not use a gun until the parent said that they were ready to use it. What is the difference between then and now? It is not the gun because it is the same now as it was them. You put shells in the chamber, aim, and then pull the trigger.If the gun is not used right it can kill. It is still a person using and controlling the gun so what is the difference between now and then?

The difference is that our government and its leaders decided in the early and mid 1960's that the criminals needed more rights and the honest citizen needed less. This all came about the same time as the "Great Society" came into place. They decided that the police officer had to much power and something had to be done about it. It became harder to arrest someone and even harder to give the bad guy the sentence he should have received. This give the criminal more incentive to do bigger crimes against the public with the police having less power to stop them. It use to be that a police officer had respect and he was answered by a yes sir and no sir. Today the police officer are cussed until , as the saying goes, a fly would not lite on them. This is mostly thanks to the laws put in place by our elected officials. Compared to years ago the police officer has his hands tied and the criminal has his untied. Then you wonder why there is so much gun violence. So now there is a group of people like the "Brady Bunch" that would take away the rights and punish the honest citizen along with the criminal. They can not rightly divide the truth as the ordinary person can. Who are they working for the criminal or the honest citizen.

There has been hundreds of gun laws passed over the years since then and those laws have not been any deterrent to any crime committed by the criminal. It continues to get worse. Why is that. It would seem after a while there would be so many gun laws that it would have a effect and stop some of the crime if the gun was the main reason, but it does not. There are so many laws on the books that a hunter feels like a criminal when he goes to the store to by a box of bullets.So these people pass new laws and still the crime grows worse. This should soon tell people that it is something else other than the gun that is the main problem. These laws are only hurting the law abiding citizen because the bad guy will always get what he needs to commit the crime, if it is a gun or anything else. We should untie the police's hands so they can make arrest. Untie the judges hands so they can give the criminal a sentence that fits the crime and then see that the sentence is served. What good is it to lock someone up and then give them week end passes, conjugal visits, and early release? They have cable TV, gyms, and better than decent food. They are just as good as being told to do it again and again. 

Now we have even a bigger threat looming and that is terrorism. Our government said it will protect us, well if their protecting us is anything like what is happening on the border with Mexico then we are in serious trouble. Those people who live on the border are not waiting for government help. you can best believe that they have a loaded gun or two in their house. Let me put it into a context that everyone should understand instead of listening to the same old crap from our government.

Three men were walking down the street after dinner with their families. One was a Democrat, one was a Republican, and the last one was a good old boy from the south. As they walked down the street a terrorist runs out of the dark alley with an AK47 Assault Rifle and a long knife intending to kill everyone there or in other words to commit jihad. There was no turning back for this guy. The democrat reaction was this: We need to debate this, There should be more street lighting here. Maybe if we gave this poor fellow some money and a place to stay he would be different. We need more anger management, maybe we need to hire more law enforcement officers and we most certainly need more laws to stop this! The Republican pulls out his gun and then begins to thinks: If I shoot this man am I in the right, will they lock me up, is there any trouble for me in shooting this guy, what does the law say about this? Then last there was the good old boy from down south who re acted this way: He pulls out his Glock 45 automatic, aims at the terrorist, and bang, bang, bang, bang. Now in this story which of the three families would be around to go out to dinner again? Which of the three people above are you most like?

The Pandering Obama

How is America Arrogant:  Our president who is now in Europe representing the United States made this statement, Saturday, in one of his latest speeches: "Americans are arrogant."  How can a president of this country, a country that has done so much for the world, say this country is arrogant? I would like for him to explain that to me for I see this country just the opposite. Obama needs some history lessons and to remember how much this country has gave the world. 

If it was not for the blood of American Soldiers and the might of the United States most of Europe and the world would be under the control of Hitler's jack boot, Stalin's communism, or the rising sun of the Japanese Empire. Have you forgot that President Obama? We now have soldiers dying and being injured for life today in Iran and Afghanistan to stop the spread of terror throughout the world while most of the world just watches and you, our leader, call us arrogant.

Mr. President, America is the most Generous  and the most least liked on this earth. After World War 11 the Americans gave billions of dollars to Germany and Japan to rebuild with. Britain, France, and Italy was also helped. Not neither one of these nations have ever paid back a cent to us. We saved the French from going under in 1956 and now they insult us every chance they get. Who is arrogant? When earth quakes hit other countries who is the first there? It is the United States. Did any country help us a couple of years ago when we had hurricanes and floods in the south?

Every time a country is in need we Americans are always there to help, with the dollar which most countries want to replace now with a globe currency, with food, medical supplies, and our arm forces when ever they are needed. We feed, provide shelter, and medical attention for more and more illegals from across the border everyday. Would Mexico do that for America? Yet you say we are an arrogant people. There are countries jumping for joy right now because of our financial problems. Who is arrogant.

I ask you Mr. President what are we arrogant about? There is a difference from being arrogant and being proud. In sixty three years I have never heard a president of this country say Americans are arrogant, nor have I ever heard a president's wife say, as yours did, That "America is a down right mean country" I'm proud to be called an American and I'm proud to be living in the land of the brave and the home of the free. I'm proud to put my hand over my heart and say the pledge allegiance to the flag.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy
Out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another
person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody
anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because
the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets
the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get
what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

And herein lies the fundamental difference between liberals and
conservatives

Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

The Coming Great Tea Party

April 15th is the day when thousands if not millions of Americans are going to protest how their taxes are being used. This protest should included a lot more than just taxes. It should be a day of peaceful protest, not only about taxes but some of the things behind the taxes. What is behind the scenes. What is the root of the tax problem. This is where people need to start. There is more than one reason behind this tax problem. Taxes should go for our protection and security, The welfare of our nation as a whole, The upkeep of our form of government which is a Republic.

When tax payers have to pay for social programs for people who will not work, women who have baby after baby by different men, People who use and abuse the system, is to much taxation as it is. {I believe that it is called the Great Society} Now we are burdened with the upkeep of illegals that are still coming across our boarders in alarming numbers. Our tax dollars are paying for this. It is one thing to pay for Americans that need help but to pay for dead beat people, who abuse the system and illegals that should have no claim what so ever to tax payer dollars. This is a problem that has been around for years and it is one of the things that is helping to drain the revenues of this country. Instead of paying for the up keep and laundry list of Mexico's citizens with our tax dollar we need to take that tax money and secure the borders, build the fence, and send the illegals back home. Our welfare system is greatly abused. It should be for the elderly and the truly needy.

We have bills passed in congress for projects that the country as a whole needs but to get them passed we have to finance special interest groups projects that no way help this country as a whole. I believe this is called "Pork" This is another burden of the American Tax Payer that puts a strain on our tax system. Some of these pork projects are way out there as far as there purpose. When a man or women works hard at their job all week and thinks about all the taxes coming out of their paychecks and what it is used for I know what they think. When the illegal Mexican works here his money goes back to Mexico and we pay their tab {for their stay here} with our tax dollar. This has to stop.

We need to stop spending tax payers money on such things as spending millions of dollars on promoting different languages in this country and doing things to promote different cultures. It makes no difference if you came from Mexico, South America, Central America, France, Russia, Iran, Egypt, or where ever you come from once you are in the United States and live here you are an American. Our language is English. You need to learn to speak that. You need to learn our customs, our holidays, and way of life. It is pure foolishness to spend tax payer dollars on projects to change our way of life for other people. What is that old saying: "When in Roman do as the Romans do".

To save even more tax payer dollars we should limit congress to a two year term. This would in its self stop most of the behind the scene pork projects and corrupt things that happens which cost the tax payer more of their hard earned money in taxes. These congress men and women should not get paid full retirement when they retire from congress for just a few years work. They have stopped big business from doing that so how are they any different? Look at the billions of dollars in savings that would make.

We need to stop all spending abuse in our Government so that the necessary things that this country and its people need can be had. This outrageous spending comes from both sides of the isle. It makes no difference Democrats and Republicans are the same. They all have their own game plan and it is not one that will benefit the taxpayer.

The planned tea parties are one way of showing the liberal democrats and rubber leg republicans that the taxpayer is getting tired but it is my belief it will not help that much. Demonstrations never had  much results in this country, only to tear the country apart. What will get results is to vote the liberals and rubbers legs out of office and vote people in that will do the will of the people and most important do what is right and what is best for our country as a whole. Let the government know that we will drink no more of their kool Aid! The tea parties should be a wake up call for our law makers, but will it?

Is This The Change We Wanted?

We heard all through the elections the same words over and over. CHANGE and YES WE CAN! The voters decided for change and now we are going to get that change, but is it the kind of change Americans want? Is it the kind of changes that we need? Well for some Americans it is certainly the change that they wanted, but I'm afraid not the kind of change needed by the American people.

We now have a president and elected leaders (lets add them into the mix) that are beginning to take over this country. At the rate this country is going there will not be anymore elections because the government will control everything . This nation has already gone from a Republic {Being governed by the rule of law as set down in the constitution by our founding fathers} to a Democracy. {Being governed by the majority} How soon will it be before we will go to a oligarchy? {Being controlled by a limited few people that run the country} The way things are going in this country right now it will not take long. Below is a very informative video that desires to be watched by all Americans and then you decide where this country is headed.

In just one hundred days of this new administration the government now controls the banks,automobile manufactures, most all big corporations, and soon the health industry. Soon every part of your life will be controlled by the government. We will no longer be free as we know it today, but we will be living in a socialist state. That is the political correct words for living in a communist state. When we have a leader who, as he said, wants to spread the wealth around, that should have sent alarm bells off. But for some of the people that is what they wanted to hear. How fast the democrat party has turned aside from the views of our founding fathers and from the views of John F. Kennedy who most democrats {as well has most Americans} hold in high regard. I was young then but I can still remember his words very clearly: ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY." What happen to this side of the Democrat Party, which by the way, at that time, was Ronald Regan's Party also.

The government in this country now does not represent "WE THE PEOPLE" anymore. They represent special interest groups, and what is the best for them. It is money that wins elections these days not votes.

The Coming Chaos

What I would like to talk about in this commentary is not going to be politically correct by a long shot and I'm sure that I will hear it from my liberal friends, but facts are facts and we must I believe get ready for the coming of chaos in this country that has never been seen before. I have said for a long time that if we have another great depression people are not going to know how to survive. Most Americans today depend on Wal-Mart and the super market chains for their very existence. The people during the great depression knew how to survive. They depended on their own skills to keep them going. They knew how to make do or do without. That will never happen in this country today for the majority of people. This is because most of them have became kool aid drinkers. They think that government is the answer to all their problems. The real truth is government is the real cause of most of this countries' problems.

Today's generation does not have a clue on how to survive. If the chicken does not come from Kentucky Fried Chicken or Popeye's then they are lost. If McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Hardy's, and all the other burger joints would close most people would not know what to do. If they could not go to the store and buy a loaf of bread they would not know what to do. If their socks or pants had a hole or tear in them and there was no Wal-Mart or money to buy new, most people would not know what to do. We live in a throw away society. That goes from the rich to the poor of this country. Most people today do not have skills that saw the people in the great depression through some rough times.

I believe this is because that some people believe that society and this government owe them something. When the mass of low income people and the load of other people, that believe this government owes them something and are entitled for the government to provide for them, see that the governments money is gone, then look out. It will be chaos in the streets. just look what happened a few months ago when the price of gas soared. Stealing was rampant. People were stealing metal, copper wiring out of new buildings, and copper off electric poles. There is a greater chaos coming when the free loaders come unglued when the government has no more money to hand out. 

This is not an article to scare people. it is an article that is stating facts for people to realize the   chaos that could be coming to this country. There are some of you reading this that will say that the writer is off his rocker, he is a nut. I believe that in the end I will not be the nut that some will say I am. In the end there will be two kinds of people. One type will be the ones who do not have a clue as to what is going on and the other type is ready because, like me, they see the chaos coming. Millions of Americans will find out that they are on their own because the government can no longer help them. They will also see how the government will respond to the chaos and it will not be like they want. 

Again the majority of the people in this country will not agree with me because they see Obama as the messiah coming to the rescue them along with other democrats and a few rubber leg republicans that have not got a clue. They will think that the government is going to take care of them. What I want to know who is going to take care of the government? You can drink that kool aid but not me!
