Press One For English

How many times have you made a call on the phone only to hear “PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH” and when you press one you still can not understand the person on the other end? You do not have to press one to read this article and when you read it, it is in plain English, easy to understand and with maybe a few mistakes in the spelling or grammar but you will get the point.

America is so different and unparalleled from other countries on this earth because this country was was founded by immigrants from all over the world. This country is known as “THE GREAT MELTING POT”. For the most part the immigrant were hard working, God fearing people. These immigrants had a vision, work ethic, values, courage, and a pioneering spirit which help The United States to become the greatest nation on earth. Most of the immigrants came here by choice and all of them sooner or later dissolved and melted into that GREAT MELTING POT called American Society, Not THE GREAT SOCIETY. While it took longer for some than others, these people and their descendants in the end became a people who believed in "One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all." They learned the nation's language, the nation's history and just blended in. Most, but not all, modern immigrants to the United States are not much different, but there is a dark side also.

Unlike the distant past, immigration now consists of two elements: legal and illegal. Very few Americans are against a moderate amount of legal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity, but most Americans are against any amount of illegal immigration, regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity because all Americans, or should I say most of them, want things done right and most important to abide by the law of this land. This is plain to see in the poles taken just recently about the new law in Arizona. Americans do not want illegal immigration.

The illegal aliens, are not just a "Mexican" or "Hispanic" problem. It is only that most illegals are now from, from Mexico and the huge majority of illegal aliens are Hispanic. For the most part Americans are not against the Hispanics. It is all the illegals that they are against. That is not discrimination. The majority of The American people are against any people, no matter what their race, nationality or ethnicity, being illegal aliens in the United States of America.

We are told that illegal aliens are simply hard working contributors to American society and are only doing the jobs Americans will not do. This may have been so years ago. What do I mean by saying that? Most illegals are not coming for the jobs anymore because they are coming for the free hand outs. If there was no more illegals there would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which infest and plague The United States. A secure border would reduce the U.S. supply of methamphetamines by 80%. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals who pay nothing because the man or women (Americans) in the back of the line pays the bill.

Here are just some of the bad affects of illegal immigration that we must face in this country every day: [1] It is a easy way for terrorists to enter the United States, [2] large increase in crime,[3] It increases multiculturalism/ segregation/ divisiveness instead of the American melting pot which is the right way, [4] It increases the desire for Hispanics to reclaiming the South Western states for Mexico, [5] It is a main contributor to the surging population of this country, [6] It has a impact on society and infrastructure, including education, [7] Illegal immigration is also the main cause of emergency rooms and hospitals closing as well as service cut backs, [8] introduction of third world diseases, [9] increased welfare costs, [10] and the massive cost of all this to our society.

Except for when an illegal alien does something really bad and out of the way, such as killing police officers like Denver Police Officer Don Young and Los Angele Deputy David Marchs , we rarely hear about the crime being committed specifically by illegal aliens. "At the federal level, the number of criminal aliens incarcerated increased from about 42,000 at the end of calendar year 2001 to about 49,000 at the end of calendar year 2004--a 15 percent increase. Boy! I wonder what it is now in 2010. The GAO issued a report, number GAO-05-337R, entitled Information on Criminal Aliens Incarcerated in Federal and State Prisons and Local Jails on May 9, 2005, prepared for the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims. It noted: The percentage of all federal prisoners who are criminal aliens has remained the same over the last 3 years--about 27 percent. The majority of criminal aliens incarcerated at the end of calendar year 2004 were identified as citizens of Mexico. That is a documented fact. This just goes to show you how the Federal Government who is responsible for securing the borders are not doing their jobs but are allowing more and more illegal aliens to violate the sovereignty of the United States. However, when the illegal aliens commit crimes and are arrested, the federal government is paying less and less of the state and local costs of incarcerating them. That puts the burden on the state and the tax payers.

If you look over those numbers like I did, you will see that this study only shows about 21% of the incarcerated illegal aliens. For you and me to get the full picture and degree of the harm these illegals are causing us, we need to reason out the average number of offenses out across all 267,000 incarcerated illegal alien criminals. When you do that you will see it results in at least 1,288,619 crimes and what about the ones not reported. Our Government is continually telling us that illegal immigration is a "victim less crime" and that they are only here to do the work Americans don't want to do? “Yeah Right you can tell those idiots just fell off the turnip truck” It must be the work that the American criminal will not do, don't you think! Our country is going to hell in a hand basket to save ten cents on a head of lettuce.

Other states should be like Arizona and start protecting their people from these criminal elements in our society because the Obama government will never do it. They would rather have the votes from these people to keep them in office and to get there agenda passed. President Barrack Obama has slammed the tough new Arizona illegal immigration law that was signed by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. The Mexican government has slammed the new Arizona illegal immigration law but nothing is said about the crime and lives that it will save. The Mexican street gangs are the fastest growing street gangs in this country.

A new Rasmussen poll reveals that 70% of voters in Arizona support the new illegal immigration bill passed by the State Legislature. Only 23% oppose the bill. Now that the bill is signed into law, the bill would make it a crime to be in the state of Arizona illegally. The poll also asked voters how immigration will impact their decision at the polls, and 83% of Arizona residents said a candidate’s position on immigration issues is important. Seventy-three percent of respondents also said that it’s more important that Congress secure the border than offer an amnesty for the nation’s 12 million illegal aliens. When will the Obama crowd ever get this or do they get it but have a different agenda?

LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION

Way To Go Arizona!

Obama says the government must enact immigration reform at the national level or leave the door open to irresponsibility by others. He and some of his predecessors are the ones who are irresponsible! The illegals should not be allowed to cross the border to begin with. He says a failure to act will lead to more of what he called "misguided" efforts like an immigration bill in Arizona. How can a bill be misguided when it is done to protect the United States Citizens living in that state. People are being murdered, robbed, and drugs abound while Our president and his cronies do nothing. Somebody has to do something and I'm glad to see Arizona's governor has the guts to do something. The bill will require police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally. What is wrong with that when there is all the crime there that is caused mostly by illegals. Obama says he has instructed his administration to examine the Arizona bill to see if it violates people's civil rights. What about the rights of the citizens living there? What about their safety?

The only reforms this president wants or is interested in is amnesty and open borders. That is the fastest way for the Democrats to build up their welfare dependent voter base. That is a plain fact. Arizona has repeatedly asked for help and enforcement from Obama only to be told to shut up and let us take care of it, because it is a federal issue. I applaud the state of Arizona for doing something towards dealing with the problem of ILLEGAL immigrants disregarding the law and entering our country without permission. Maybe then, New Mexico and Texas would follow what Arizona has done because Obama and the congress that we have now will never put a stop to it. The state of California is hopeless; They will never do anything because they're are to busy condemning the Boy Scouts. If the illegals want to go to a different country so bad, lets give them free rides to North Korea or the Iranian border and let them cross over illegally there. Of course, those countries deal with people crossing their borders without a passport a little differently than this weak kneed Obama. They ENFORCE their immigration laws! So does Mexico. Read what happens on the southern borders of Mexico to the Columbians who cross the Mexican border illegally. The Mexicans should do the same thing to their northern border, but that is a joke.

If progressive Democrats can't destroy America straight out, then they will do it by weakening the citizens of this country with illegals and putting tax loads on the citizens to support the "rights" of the illegals. When will the people ever wake up. WE SHOULD NOT BE RAISING TAXES AND TAKING AWAY FROM THE TAX PAYORS OF THIS COUNTRY BEFORE WE DEPORT THE ALIEN PARASITE FEEDING OFF OUR SYSTEM, OUR TAXES, OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM, AND OUR KINDESS!

The Flat Tax

With out question most Americans have a issue with the tax system that is in place now. (That is the ones that work for a living) It is a unfair tax. It puts a unfair burden on over half the taxes payers in this country Today, Americans are paying the highest taxes in the nation's history. The current tax system includes several unfair laws. It penalizes married couples by making them pay higher taxes than single individuals. And many Americans face a death tax that claims a significant portion of their estate after they die. We need to get rid or this confusing, unfair tax on our income and replace it with a simple flat tax of one low rate with no deductions or special interest loopholes. We should have a tax that all pays the same, no matter what your line of work is. In other words the bum on the street corner, the prostitute, the drug pusher, or the person who will not work even in a pie shop testing pies will have to pay their share. There will be no more spreading the wealth around.

There are more and more Americans that are saying the current tax system is a complete failure that causes problems to the nation's growth while allowing some people to pull strings and influences the system to get breaks that the average American worker can not get and we all know that is the truth. We need to do away with the income tax and going to a fair flat tax that is simple and fair to all Americans not just a few.

A flat tax is simple (Not complicated at all). The Flat Tax is a fair tax for all and it is good for our country. Instead of the 893 forms required by the current system, a flat tax would use only two forms that are the size of a post card,: one for labor income and the other for business and capital income. Unlike the current system, which discriminates based on the source, use, and level of income, a flat tax treats all taxpayers equally, fulfilling the "equal justice under law" principle engraved above the main entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court building. And unlike the current system, which punishes people for contributing to the nation's wealth, a flat tax would lower marginal tax rates and eliminate the tax bias against saving and investment, This will help to ensure better profits and better performance in a worldwide economy that is very competitive. Just break this Flat Tax down for your self and you will, as I did, it is a much better and a much fairer tax.

There have been a lot of flat tax proposals over the years, any of them are better than the income tax that we have now, because they fix the all the flaws of the Internal Revenue Code that seems to turn the screws on the most of us (the ones that want to work) more every year. The Flat tax is fair, and the tax forms would be easy to use. A flat tax has a single rate, which most of the time is less than twenty percent. The low, flat rate solves the problem of high tax rates for some by reducing and doing away with the penalties against productive behavior, such as work, risk taking, and entrepreneurship, which makes this country strong. It will make people work and will do away with a lot of freebies that the great society has created. With this fair tax it makes no difference who you are you will pay the same flat tax. Check out the benefits like I did and you will see how much better a flat tax would be.

If we had the flat tax we would not have to worry about Obama spreading our wealth around to the ones who will not work, to all the big corporations that our tax dollars are bailing out as we have less and less of our hard earned money.

OIL – Very Interesting

We are paying higher prices everyday for the gas we use in our cars and for the oil to heat our homes. Did you ever wonder why this was happening because it does not have to be that way. If you research and look into all the official reports you will see that we do not have to get any crude oil at all from the nations who support terrorist. In fact we do not have to by oil from any country according to a report by the U.S. Geological Service. The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. I wonder how many Americans know about a revised report (which has not been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in the United States. Just look at the vast oil deposits n this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota , western South Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana . Check it out for yourself. http://bakkenshale.net/bakkenshalemap.html The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette says this sizable find of oil is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,". It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U.. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006! Here is another online report from “Stanberry Report Online” which was made in 4/20/2006 and still no one is acting on it. U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this mother load of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates: > 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia > 18-times as much oil as Iraq > 21-times as much oil as Kuwait > 22-times as much oil as Iran > 500-times as much oil as Yemen and it's all right here in the Western United States . HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? It is because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY is this happening? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post. Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, it has to. Did you ever so to think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists like they are funding other things that are against this country’s interest? We already know that a sizable amount of money from the price paid for crude oil goes to the Islamist terrorist. In other words we buy the oil and the money (some of it) goes to terrorist) Have I got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do something about it by calling your congressmen (if you think that will do any good), or just pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should restrain yourself the next time you complain about gas prices – by doing NOTHING, we forfeit our right to complain, we help make OPEC richer, help the terrorist. By not doing nothing we are paying the way for Islamist terrorist to do the things they do to us. By the way for all you liberals and non believers, this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!! GOOGLE it, or follow this link. It will blow your mind as it did mine. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911

No Truer Words Ever Spoken

In the final days leading up to the vote on Obama’s Health Care Bill Nancy Pelosi said: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” NO TRUER WORDS WERE EVER SPOKEN! Now that this Obama Health Care Bill has passed it is now slowly dawning on people what this new law means for the American people. Obama Care does away with a lot of state regulations and permanently changes the state’s insurance market. It also takes away the right of choice. This is taking control away from the states and the people and places control in the hands of the federal government. No wonder a lot of states are suing the federal government over this bill. From now on the federal government will manage and control health care for all Americans. This new Obama Health Care Law contains a complex mess of mandates, price controls, tax increases, and subsides, which is more or less very confusing. But everything the federal government does is confusing.

Federal officials will now decide what kind of insurance the American people must have, what medicine they will take, what treatments they are allowed to have and what treatments we are not allowed to have. Early reporting say that Obama, Bidden, senior members of congress such as Reid and Pelosi, the cabinet, and certain other leadership are exempt from Obama Care. Why is this new health care not good enough for them. If it is good enough for the rest of us, why is it not good enough for them? This new Health Care Bill falls real short of being universal and a bill that covers everybody.

Americans will start paying taxes on Obama Health Care starting this year along with a lot of new taxes (at least nineteen new taxes)that are included in the bill, while most of the so called benefits will not kick in until the year 2014. Here is a quick rundown of what Americans can expect in the coming years. A citizen will pay a penalty of $695 per year or 2.5 percent of their annual income every year if they cannot prove to the IRS that they have Obama Health Insurance. A family will pay $347 per child up to $2250 per family if they cannot show or prove they have this new health care. Employers will fork out $2000 per employee if their employees do not have this insurance. In other words you will have this Obama Care or else.

Obama Care imposes a 3.8 percent annual tax on all investments. This tax will hit some senior citizens on fixed incomes and people with IRAs or 401k plans real hard. So there goes any money that you want to invest. There will also be a increase on Medi Care taxes, a 3.8 percent taxes on new homes. This equals to $7600 on a house selling for $200,00, a 2.9 percent tax on medical aid devices. There will be a 10 percent federal tax on services at a tanning salon. Business owners will collect this tax and send it to the federal government. All this will be enforced by over 16,500 new IRS auditors, agents, and investigators to increase enforcement of Obama’s new health care. This will also be paid for by your tax dollars. Welcome to Obama’s new socialist order. Obama and his regime are on the move. A new establishment is being formed right in front of our eyes. WE ONLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT ALL PASSES BEFORE WE AND OUR KIDS CAN READ ABOUT IT OR WHAT WE WILL BE ALLOWED TO READ.

OBAMA CORPS

On July 20, 2008, during his Presidential campaign, Senator Obama 2008 stated, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." I wonder how many of the American people and also the people that voted for this Health Care Bill knew or know what is buried 1300 pages into this mess called the Health Care Bill.  WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES A “READY RESERVE CORPS” (CIVILIAN POLICE/MILITARY FORCE) HAVE TO DO WITH HEALTH CARE???  The answer is nothing… BUT IT SURE IS HANDY FOR INDOCTRINATION, INTIMIDATION, AND PUTTING DOWN UPRISINGS OF TEA PARTIERS AND THE LIKE.   IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER NOT TO ANTICIPATE AND FORESEE SOME KIND OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BEING INSTIGATED AND STARTED BY THIS ADMINSITRATION.

How many Americans are going to become part of  Obama’s “corps”.  Do you find this movement as upsetting as I do? Every American that loves freedom should be upset. The pressing question that is in need of attention should be “who is this protecting --and from whom?”  But this shocking and beyond belief scheme received almost no notice or consideration from the Obama news media. 

There are three pages of the Health Care Bill creating a  Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency. The executive branch is authorized to expand the Commissioned Corps beyond the previous limit of 2800 individuals. The words "not to exceed 2800" are struck from the law and it establishes a "Ready Reserve Corps" without a cap on numbers or funding! The Commissioned and Ready Reserve Corps can be called to involuntary service in time of "national emergency".  The language in the bill is below. Do we need to be worrying about the this? You bet we do.?

Starting on page 1312 of the Health Care Bill You will read this:

SEC. 430. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.

Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:

SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS.

(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—

(1) IN GENERAL.—There shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency.

(2) REQUIREMENT.—All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended.

No Matter How You Look At It.

 

No matter how you look at it, it is socialism. A short time ago Congress enacted a new law, which is so bad and difficult it will not be able to be endured. What am I talking about? Our congress passed Obama Care, or I should say, one political party passed it, against what the majority of the American people wanted. The restructuring of our health care system is a shocking unjustifiable and uncalled-for act against the majority of the American People, by a congress that just does not care about what the American people want . I call it the Harry Reid – Nancy Pelosi - Obama take over.

It orders and directs that every American must buy health insurance, under IRS scrutiny. You will be under the IRS’s careful and thorough examination and inspection. Now who wants that. It sets up an army of federal bureaucrats who ultimately decide for you how you should receive Health Care, what kind, and how much…or whether you don’t qualify at all. Never has our government claimed the power to decide when each of us has lived well enough or long enough to be refused life-saving medical assistance. If you are a unborn baby or a elderly person then you are in serious trouble with Obama Care. That is a fact just read different parts of this massive bill.

Our great nation was once a free nation dedicated to the life and freedom of every person but this reform that is taking place in our country is taking the American people on a long decline toward the same weakness that the social welfare states of Europe have become. They depend on their government for everything. Soon our entire existence will be focused on the government.

These foolish and reckless leaders in our nation’s capitol have run up scandalous debts with no limits that will crush the jobs and shut down our nation’s prosperity. With our nation’s jobless over ten percent these people are putting more on the backs of American people. Small business , in this country, is in trouble. The government has become taskmasters, that we serve, instead of elected officials that serve us. The American people should vote these reckless out of office and a new government elected to allow the American people to live within their means? The question for all Americans is this: do we want to live in a European style welfare system or do we want to have the confidence and assurance that our fore fathers had in the idea that limitless and unrestrained opportunities belong to the workers, the builders, the industrious, and the free people of a free country? This country is becoming a nation of free loaders that depend on government for everything.

This country’s leaders are taking the country down a new road that creates entitlements and promising benefits that makes this country just like the European Union: a welfare state society where most people pay little or no taxes but become dependent on government benefits … where tax reduction is impossible because more people have a stake in the welfare state than in free enterprise … where high unemployment is accepted as a way of life, and the spirit of risk-taking is choked and kept in check by a snarl of red tape from an all-providing federal government. All this for the great society of people who want it all but not the work that goes with it.

What kind of nation do we want to be? What kind of society will we hand down to our children and future generations? In the coming election we will have the chance to decide, our nation is at stake. We will choose one of two different paths. And once we make that choice, there is no turning back.
