What is wrong?

    I haven't written in a while because there is just to much in this world going on.  I can't keep up.  It has just been so overwhelming.  There is just no way one person can make sense of all this mess.

    I have been keeping up with all that has been going on with politics and hoping that we all make the right decision when it comes to election day.  I hope that just because you don't like either candidate that you stay home and not cast your vote.  This election is so critical to everyone.  Not only for the older Americans, but, for the generation that is coming up.  So, I hope that everyone puts their feelings of like or dislike aside and vote for the one who they think will do the best job for the future of our country.

    I have watched how dirty not only the politicians have gotten, but, the news media and social networks.  It made me wonder how we got to the point that if you don't agree with someone's political view then you are a racist, etc.  The name calling and reports of threats is just out of control.

    It made me question, has our government caused this?  Have we caused this? Or, is it a combination of both?  Personally the division we are seeing in this country, I believe is Both.   Some of us were raised to believe in our government and what they told us.  After all, it is their job to look after us.  We were told and we believed.  We did not question.  Maybe we should have.  Maybe we should now.

    Where our country is headed right now is not a good place.  Our freedoms and liberties have been slowly taken away from us for years by both parties.  Now our entire way of life is being threatened.  I have seen so many people being attacked verbally, and sometimes even physically for speaking their opinions.  Why can't we just respect each others opinions and even give them some consideration?  Maybe they are right in their beliefs and maybe we are wrong.  Maybe, there is a place in the middle.  With all the attacks on someone speaking their opinions, what are we teaching our children?  Are we teaching them to be bullies, because someone doesn't agree with their beliefs?

    We are all passionate about our beliefs, but, we should all respect each other and not disrespect someone for their beliefs or their thoughts.  A lot of us have done that, including me, and it really needs to stop.

   When Clint Eastwood spoke at the RNC National Convention and said "I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we -- we own this country. We -- we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours."  He was spot on.  I think some of us have forgotten that.

My idea of a stimulus package

Give every legal American citizen 1 million dollars.  That includes children.  I would exclude anyone making 1 million dollars or more.

What does this accomplish?  Redistribution of wealth?  In a way, yes.  We have paid taxes for years and our parents have paid taxes for years and look at how it has been spent.  In my opinion it would be more like a refund than redistributing wealth.

The benefits.  We would be able to pay off bills, homes, cars, etc., or invest.  That would help the banks with a flood of money. Banks improved.

 Mortgages would be either paid off or reduced drastically.  People who have lost their homes would be able to buy a new home.  Housing market improved.

With the influx of money, more people would be spending and jobs would need to be filled in order to fill the products and needs of those who received the money,  Job problem solved.

People may even want to start their own business.  Capitalism restored.

Why children?  Money could be put up for their college or whatever they need when they reach the age of adulthood.  College tuition paid.

Now with all this, there would be no need for food stamps and welfare.  This would cause these programs to either be eliminated or "tweaked" for those who really need it.  This would also allow Social Security to be fixed.  No one who received this payout would be eligible for any government help for a minimum of 10 years.

Now this would be a one time deal.  All welfare, food stamps, and yes even Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would stop for a period of at least 10 years.  Why would you need any of these programs if you had 1 million dollars in your hands?  So, you would have to be responsible or deal with the consequences of no government help.

This would be tax free.  How do we pay for it?  All the politicians would contribute.

More control

I should not be surprised by this, but, it amazes me how much the battle for gun control is just outrageous.  Instead of punishing the government officials who were involved in the "Fast and Furious", our politicians just won't give up on trying to get guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens.   In this article: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday the shooting of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords should have sparked a national dialogue about gun laws.


I am so tired of our politicians blaming everyone but themselves for the mess our country is in.  Yes, we are ALL to blame for this mess.  Our previous politicians have tried to brainwash us into thinking that whatever they do, they do for our "children", our "safety", and for our "best interest".  We sat back and let it all happen.  We have been so busy with ourselves, our children, and even sports to pay attention to what is going on around us as well as what has happened to us in the past.


Our Constitution, our Rights, our freedoms, and our beliefs are being attacked on a daily basis.  For centuries we have fought for our freedoms and our rights.  Now all that is being attacked and our freedoms have slowly been taken away from us as well as our rights.  Why have we allowed this to happen?  Have we forgotten all those men and women who fought and died for us to have what we have today, be for nothing?


I hear on a daily basis "There's nothing we can do about it".  That is just wrong.  Even though we may not be able to, or want to go into battle, but, will allow others to do the work for us, doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it.  We should educate ourselves and get involved with the political process and vote out those that have trampled over our Constitution, our rights, and our freedoms.  It is up to us, and only us, to fix this country.  We can no longer "trust" our government to take care of us. That is how we got here to begin with.  Why should we keep asking the politicians to fix things when they only make matters worse?

Presidential Candidates

I took some time off to change out my computers and during that time I debated on whether or not to continue to blog.  There is just so much going on with this country and this "President" as well as with all the candidates that are running against Obama.

I have watched sooo many debates and listened carefully to what each candidate had to say.  I have listened to all the accusations and all the candidates pointing fingers at one another.  I have watched the news media swoon over Mitt Romney.

Here is my take on the GOP candidates.  Let's take Ron Paul.  I like Ron Paul.  He is a real Constitutionalist.  He represents the meaning and the ideas of the Constitution and the purpose that it was designed for.

Rick Santorum, I'm not real sure about.  He sounds good and he seems to have a good record and appears to want to do the right thing for the country.  I'm still doing research on him.

Newt Gringrich.  Now, he understands what is happening with this country better than anyone else.  He understands the dangers of George Soros and the teachings of Saul Alinsky.  Both of these are playing a huge role in what is happening with the destruction of our country.

Mitt Romney.  Not only is he responsible for the Romney care in Massachusetts, but, he also has some connection to the teachings of Saul Alinsky.  Mitt Romney's father liked Saul Alinsky and his ideas.  George Soros has also came out and said that there is little difference between Obama and Romney.  He has also flipped flopped more than any other candidate.  He also speaks of being an "Washington Outsider" and believes that is what we need to turn this country around.  Well, wasn't Obama a "Washington Outsider" when he ran for President.  How is that working out for you?

This is one of the most important decisions we have to make in our lifetime.  Not only this election but, the elections to follow if we want to keep our country strong and safe, not only for ourselves, but, for our children and their children.  Instead of all the negative accusations that are being thrown out there on each of the candidates, not only by the candidates themselves, but, the obvious push by the media as to who we should choose for President, we should do our own research and pick the candidate that best suites the needs of our country in order to begin the restoration of our beloved country and our individual rights.

"Occupiers" out of control?

I'm not surprised with all those involved with the Occupy movement that eventually things could very easily get out of control.  The question is when or has it already?  There are people involved with this movement who have been waiting on this for a long time.  Some want to tear this country apart and put in a new government.  What kind of government is a good question.  Needless to say the government they want will not be good for everyone.

According to this article:

Widely known as Occupy Wall Street, the movement has gained momentum with mass, often violent protests that have paralyzed cities across the nation. In New York more than 150 people were arrested and several police officers suffered injuries. In Oakland California police were forced to use riot gear and tear gas to disperse the huge, violent crowds and in Las Vegas nearly two dozen protesters were arrested.

Leading the campaign is President Obama’s good friend, civil rights lawyer Van Jones, the highly-touted “Green Czar” who was booted amid controversy over his radical history. A Yale Law School grad, Jones became a communist after the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles and says he loathes capitalism because it exploits nonwhite minorities worldwide. Jones is a committed Marxist-Leninist-Maoist who became a revolutionary after meeting “young radical people of color” in jail and views police officers as the arch enemies of black people.

If that isn't disturbing enough, according to this article:

Not only is Barack Obama‘s terrorist buddy Bill Ayers teaching revolutionary theory at Occupy Chicago… His former terrorist group the Weather Underground has joined up with the #Occupy Oakland movement in California.

It is very disturbing at what the "occupiers" are getting away with.  If this were the "Tea Party", they would all be in jail.  According to this article:  "Occupy Oakland Hosts Gay Porn Movie Shoot". Enough said.

Now according to this article:

Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.

Now the "Occupiers" are wanting to boycott Black Friday".  Don't they know that this will only hurt the 99% they claim to represent, who have jobs at these businesses.  Do they really think this will hurt the "1 %"?  According to this website:

Below is a shortlist for publicly traded large businesses to Occupy or to boycott on Black Friday. Luckily, most of them don't have good presents anyway. If you want to see the top 100 retail businesses for 2010 to boycott, click here.

The future of our children

Nothing about this government surprises me anymore.  Now Nancy Pelosi wants control of our children.  Is this a big surprise to any of us?  Our government is determined to control every aspect of our lives, including especially our children.

In this article:

“One of the great pieces of unfinished business is high-quality child care; I wonder why we just can’t do that,’’ Pelosi said. Her spokesman Drew Hammill said later that she doesn’t have a specific child-care proposal at the ready; that’s what the legislative process is for. But the Nixon-era legislation of which she spoke approvingly subsidized child care for low-income parents and was available to anyone who wanted to pay for it. “She sees this as the next big problem to tackle,’’ Hammill said.

What about our schools?  According to this article:

On a mission to narrow the academic achievement gap between minorities and whites, the Obama Administration has ordered the nation’s second-largest public school district to cut back on disciplining black students and develop a special curriculum for those who don’t speak English.

In this article:

Students, tests and cash were the perfect variables to fatten high school math teacher Jeff Spires’ wallet, officials said, but administrators pulled the plug on him after several students brought his alleged pay-for-grades scheme to their attention.

And in this article:

A student at Western Nevada College has filed a sexual harassment claim against the school, citing her experiences in Tom Kubistant’s Human Sexuality class. The student, Karen Royce, alleged that Kubistant instructed students to masturbate twice as often and keep detailed accounts of their sexual lives. According to The Arizona Republic:

Now in this article:

The Obama administration dedicated at least $18 million to convince Kenyans to ratify the new constitution, which expanded women’s legal right to an abortion.  Although a 1981 law known as the Siljander Amendment specifically states “none of the funds made available under this Act may be used to lobby for or against abortion,” one recipient of U.S. aid pressed the issue anyway.

Now, the way I see it, if the government got out of the way and took less of our money that we work so hard for and let us keep it, we would have the time to look at these things and stop it before it happens.  Our government always uses our children as a tool to get what they want and then this is how they "help the children".  Parents need to be as active as possilbe in what the schools are teaching our children.  What will be next?  Take our children away right after birth?

What will tomorrow bring

According to reports, Occupy Wall Street protesters plan an event tomorrow to shut down the city.  According to the video in this article:

In a rant that appears to have been captured after Tuesday’s Zuccotti park eviction in New York City, a man in the middle of the angry protesters reveals his idea of what’s next for the movement: “we’re going to burn this shi* to the motherfu**ing ground on the 17th!”

If it weren't enough that the protesters are planning this, SEIU is also planning to help out.  According to this article:

The SEIU is planning a “Bridge Action Day” for Obama.The overpaid government union goons will shut down traffic on US bridges and harass US workers going to work on Thursday morning.

According to this article:

One of the boldest labor thugs in America today is Stephen Lerner, a crafty economic terrorist who manages to sound like a folksy self-improvement seminar leader while he explicitly calls for the overthrow of capitalism.

An SEIU board member, Lerner is one of the architects of a subversive plan that aims to destroy the nation’s financial system through intimidation, mass protests, and the mob violence that accompanies it. As part of it, Lerner targeted JPMorgan Chase for attack earlier this year because the bank would be “a really good company to hate.”

What can we expect?  Maybe it will be a non-violent event.  I hope so.  With the history of the violence that has already occurred in many places with this "movement" and with the support of SEIU, I have my doubts it will be peaceful.  We will have to wait and see.

Did you know?

Which is better, big government or smaller government?  That is a question many have asked.  I have stated before that the bigger the government is, the harder it is for us to know what is going on with our government and our money.  As citizens, the bigger the government is, the more they can pass through with new laws or spending projects. I admit that I am a small government person.  Here is why.  Did you know:

HUD has given $730,000 to ACORN

President Obama has given ACORN $729,849 so far this year and billions more in federal cash may be in the pipeline.
The president’s new economic stimulus package, the so-called “jobs bill,” contains as much as $15 billion for radical left-wing groups such as ACORN (his former employer). Obama has been using his presidential bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress “pass this bill,” even though there is no bill yet. Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed “American Jobs Act of 2011” apparently hasn’t even been introduced in Congress.

$443 Million for a smallpox drug

Over the last year, the Obama administration has aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work.

$750,000 to virtually deserted airport

The St. Cloud Regional Airport is banking on a recently announced $750,000 federal grant to land an airline at the airport that’s been virtually deserted since Delta terminated service in and out of St. Cloud in late 2009. Despite a $5 million makeover of the terminal two years ago, St. Cloud’s airport has mostly sat idle as the city desperately seeks new commercial airline partners. St. Cloud received $750,000 in federal stimulus funding to assist with a portion of the renovation, but the project has thus far amounted to a passenger boarding bridge to nowhere.

$7 Million paid to foreign workers

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A federal investigation found that at least $7 million in federal stimulus money intended to provide jobs for unemployed Oregonians instead paid wages to 254 foreign workers.

These are just a few.  I know what I would do if that money was in my pocket.  Talk about stimulating the economy.

Political Corruption

Usually I don't watch 60 Minutes, but, last night I did.  It was no real surprise to me that it showed how corrupt many of our politicians are.  I don't even find it shocking that our politicians don't have to play by the same rules as everyone else.  It's no wonder people want to be a politician.  Talk about Greedy.  This is a prime reason why we need to be more aware and active in the political process.  I get tired of hearing the argument that "we can't do anything about it."  That just is not true.

According to this article, based on the show last night:

Washington, D.C. is a town that runs on inside information - but should our elected officials be able to use that information to pad their own pockets? As Steve Kroft reports, members of Congress and their aides have regular access to powerful political intelligence, and many have made well-timed stock market trades in the very industries they regulate. For now, the practice is perfectly legal, but some say it's time for the law to change.

According to this article, it list the 50 richest members of Congress.  I have to wonder about the Senators as well.

Now what can be done about this?  Some Lawmakers are really trying to stop this from happening and have been since 2006.  According to this article:

Two House Democrats are pushing legislation that would prohibit lawmakers and federal employees from profiting from non-public information they obtain in their jobs official positions while requiring greater oversight. 

You can read the entire bill here.

Now for the question, What can I do?  It is real simple.  Contact you members of Congress here, and your Senators here.  Let them know how you feel about passing this bill and let them know that you will be watching.  Let your voice be heard by informing your Politician that you are watching and you will vote them out and get someone who will listen to the people.  We still have a voice in this country and we should be heard.  If we want our country back we must be heard and do not give up or give in.

Unions right or wrong for the U.S.

I have written about the unions before.  I will say once again, that I am sure there are some things good about belonging to a union.  I have also stated that I believe the union leaders are out to put more money in their pockets than in the pockets of the union members.

Here, I will put some articles to understand better who the unions really look out for.  In this article:

All it took to give nearly two dozen labor leaders from Chicago a windfall worth millions was a few tweaks to a handful of sentences in the state's lengthy pension code.

Twenty years later, 23 retired union officials from Chicago stand to collect about $56 million from two ailing city pension funds thanks to the changes, a Tribune/WGN-TV investigation found.

Because the law bases the city pensions on the labor leaders' union salaries, they are reaping retirement benefits that far outstrip the modest salaries they made as city employees. On average, their pensions are nearly three times higher than what the typical retired city worker receives.

Remember the Boeing Plant being attacked by the National Labor Relations Board?  According to Wikipedia:

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the United States government charged with conducting elections for labor union representation and with investigating and remedying unfair labor practices. Unfair labor practices may involve union-related situations or instances of protected concerted activity. The NLRB is governed by a five-person board and a General Counsel, all of whom are appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate.

Now reports have come out about the NLRB and their decision to fight the Boeing plant. According to this article,  on April 22, 2011:

Acting NLRB General Counsel Lafe Solomon sent an email to Wilma Liebman, outgoing Chairwoman of the NLRB, “The article gave me a new idea. You go to geneva [Switzerland] and I get a job with airbus [French company]. We screwed up the us economy and now we can tackle europe.”

Last year, President Obama bypassed the U.S. Senate and recess-appointed Craig Becker to head the NLRB’s five-member board. The Becker appointment was made after the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate refused to move forward on his confirmation. An ally of ACORN, Becker had previously worked for the SEIU and the AFL-CIO, major financial backers of Obama and the Democratic Party. Controversially, Becker has refused to recuse himself from certain NLRB decisions affecting his former union clients.

According to this article:

The new Obama DOL Union Officer and Employee Conflicts-of-Interest Disclosure Reports will no longer require disclosure of:

• Salary payments by employers to union officials who do absolutely no work for the employer except grease the skids in “grievance adjustments”;
• Bonuses and raises paid by employers to union officials who do absolutely no work for the employer;
• Promotions by employers to union officials who do absolutely no work for the employer;
• Director stipends of $20,000 or more to union officials for attending annual or quarterly labor-management conferences often held at a lush resorts;
• Labor union presidents’ spouses who receive payments of $250,000 a year from a HERE union pension trust will no longer be required to disclose it because Obama’s DOL believes that congress was uninterested in these types of conflicts.

Have you ever heard of the National Mediation Board?  Well, according to this article:

This board is specifically focused on labor relations between the railroad and airline industries. And just like the NLRB, the NMB is aggressively pushing Big Labor’s agenda. Last July, the NMB overturned nearly a century of precedent and issued a new pro-union rule regarding union elections. Instead of requiring the traditional democratic practice of a simple majority of members to unionize, now the rules only require a majority of votes cast for unionization.

So, what is next?  Do we want the Unions taking control of all the jobs in this country?  Do we want to be forced into joining a union in order to get a job?  Do we want to be like this family who is forced to pay Union Dues to take care of their disabled children?  Here is the story.

One lies, one tells the truth

I find it amazing that a Politician finally tells the truth and people don't want to listen.  It is one of the biggest complaints we have.  Politicians don't tell the truth, now we have one.  My hat is off to Joe Walsh for standing up and telling the truth.

According to this article, video included:

"I don't want government meddling in the marketplace," Walsh said. "Yeah, they move from Goldman Sachs to the White House, I understand all of that. But you gotta’ be consistent. And it’s not the private marketplace that created this mess. What created mess was your government, which has demanded for years that everybody be in a home. And we’ve made it easy as possible for people to be in homes."

To back up his claim that the government is the problem not the solution to our problems is this article:

Fannie Mae, the biggest source of money for U.S. home loans, on Tuesday said it needed a further $7.8 billion in federal aid to stay afloat as a shaky housing market widened its third-quarter loss to $5.1 billion.

Given the crucial role the two play in U.S. housing finance, owning or guaranteeing about half of all mortgages, the government has pledged unlimited funds to keep the firms afloat through the end of 2012. Combined, they have cost taxpayers around $169 billion.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created by Congress to encourage homeownership. They buy mortgages from lenders and repackage them as securities for investors, with a guarantee, to ensure a steady source of home loan funds.

Now to Eric Holder.  It is just my opinion, based on all that I have seen and read, this man is either incompetent or is lying.  According to this article,

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday claimed that he never received any of the memos about Operation "Fast and Furious," that were sent to him dating back to July 2010

Under grilling from Sen. John Cornyn during his Senate Judiciary committee testimony, Holder claimed that though the memos had his name on them, he never received them because his staff made the determination that they did not warrent his attention

I would think that with that many guns going to Mexico and that big of an operation he should have known about it. How could he not know?

To add insult to injury, Holder stated:

"It's not fair to suggest" the Fast and Furious program "led to the death of Agent Terry."

In this article,

In addition to refusing to come clean on exactly when he first knew of Fast and Furious (and what he knew), Holder also had the gall to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that the real issue they needed to focus on was “the battle to stop the flow of illegal guns to Mexico.” In other words, what we should be focusing on here is the need for gun control in order to keep the Southern border safe. To that end, Holder said the ATF should receive increased powers via the increased “resources and statutory tools it needs to be effective.”

I disagree with Holder on the need for more gun control.  I believe that everyone who lives on the border should be allowed to own a gun, if they wish, in order to protect themselves, their families and their property.  Our Federal government refuses to see the problem, so it is up to the citizens to do what the government won't do if they choose to.  Instead of fighting the states that are trying to do what the government refuses to do, our government should enforce the laws they put in place.

The price for Occupy Wall Street

When the protesters began to occupy Wall Street, it was a given to anyone who had any common sense that it would end up costing the citizens money.  How much was the question.  In this article, the price tag so far is now  $9,111,487.  How much more will it go up depends on the politicians that are in charge.  How long will they be willing to put upstanding, law abiding citizens at risk?  With the amount of police presence to keep the protesters from breaking the law, it takes away protection from those who abide by the law.  I'm not saying the protesters shouldn't protest if they feel as strongly as they do, but, do not put other peoples lives in jeopardy because of it, don't destroy other peoples property or try to prevent them from making a living.

The woman in this video, whom is wheelchair bound and works for a living, talks about the protestors preventing her from leaving the building.

And in this video,  children are being used as human shields.  This is just going to far.  If you want to protest, go for it, just don't place your children in harms way.

How long will this go on?  It's hard to say.  If those that believe in civil unrest and are not afraid of being arrested, it may be a while.  Are we heading for riots like we see going on in other countries.  That is a possibilty we cannot afford to dismiss.  According to this article: United Steelworkers international president Leo Gerard states:

I think we've got to start a resistance movement. If Wall Street occupation doesn't get the message, I think we've got to start blocking bridges and doing that kind of stuff. This doesn't have to be this way. The economy doesn't have to be this way. It's being put this way because the Wall Streeters are getting their way.

According to this article, dates October 6:

Several influential New York state lawmakers have received threatening mails saying it is “time to kill the wealthy” if they don’t renew the state’s tax surcharge on millionaires, according to reports.

“It’s time to tax the millionaires!” reads the email, according to WTEN in Albany. “If you don’t, I’m going to pay a visit with my carbine to one of those tech companies you are so proud of and shoot every spoiled Ivy League [expletive] I can find.”

Instead of threats, maybe they should contact their Senators and Congress on the wasteful spending of our money.  If our government stops spending money like these then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.

Al Gore's wish comes true with protesters

Not long ago, I wrote about Al Gore calling for an American Spring,  Well, it appears that Al Gore's request is coming true. Of course, it should be no surprise that this would happen in California.  As some articles I have read call the protesters "useful idiots", I have to agree.  Apparently they do not understand that their actions costs all of us, including them.  We all have to pay for the damages they cause, as well as the shut down of business and transportation.

According to this article,

The confrontation began after protesters started a large bonfire in the middle of a downtown street. Dozens of police in riot gear moved in on hundreds of protesters as the flames leapt more than 15 feet in the air from several large metal and plastic trash bins that had been pushed together.

According to this article,

Before the rioting on Wednesday Occupy Oakland goons were handing out this flier to fellow protesters calling for violence.
“Are you a pacifist?”

It is just my opinion, but, I think these protesters should be protesting things like:
Over $760,000 Stimulus Funds Go To Interactive Visual Dance
$1.5 Mil To Promote Collective Bargaining In Vietnam
or this .... just to name a few,
Stimulus Funds paid foreign workers in Oregon

Our children as guinea pigs?

Our government loves our children.  Why else would they base everything they do "for the children"?  Now our government has gone to far.  According to this article,  "The Obama administration is wrestling with the thorny question of whether scientists should inject healthy children with the anthrax vaccine to see whether the shots would safely protect them against a bioterrorism attack."

"The other option is to wait until an attack happens and then try to gather data from children whose parents agree to inoculate them in the face of an actual threat."

Even though this article, is about what is about to happen in California, history shows that what starts in California usually ends up happening all across the country.  According to this article, "In a few months 12-year-olds in the nation’s most populous state can, without parental consent, get a controversial vaccine in public schools to treat a sexually transmitted disease."

"Even for ultra-liberal California this may seem astounding, that children can receive any sort of non-emergency medical treatment without the approval of a guardian. As if this weren’t atrocious enough, the costly vaccine (Gardasil)—linked to dozens of deaths and thousands of debilitating side effects— will be largely financed with taxpayer dollars."

"Worse yet is that a disturbing number of girls and young women who received Gardasil have died or suffered  serious adverse effects such as paralysis, seizures and blindness since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fast tracked its approval under pressure from the pharmaceutical giant (Merck) that makes it.  Just this week Judicial Watch released the latest of many daunting federal reports exposing the deaths of 26 girls who received the shot in the last year alone."

According to this article,  in New York, "* Kids ages 11 and 12 sort “risk cards” to rate the safety of various activities, including “intercourse using a condom and an oil-based lubricant,’’ mutual masturbation, French kissing, oral sex and anal sex."

" Teens are referred to resources such as Columbia University’s Web site Go Ask Alice, which explores topics like “doggie-style” and other positions, “sadomasochistic sex play,” phone sex, oral sex with braces, fetishes, porn stars, vibrators and bestiality."

If that weren't bad enough, the EPA is going to deny "over-the-counter, epinephrine-based inhalers".  According to this article,  " low-income Americans will be denied this over-the-counter relief as of December 31."

More reasons why this country needs smaller government.  Our government is completely out of control and the EPA is hurting more and more people everyday.  What will happen next?

Obama's connection to Protesters

It's no wonder that Obama supports the Occupy Wall Street protesters.  I am sure that he is just gushing with pride.  Remember, he proudly stated that he was a community organizer.  Well, according to this article,  (Photo proof included in article) "Obama personally helped plan one of UNO’s most confrontational actions of the eighties [in 1988]: a break-in meant to intimidate a coalition of local business and neighborhood leaders into dropping a landfill expansion deal." 

Also reported in the same article' "State Sen. Barack Obama and Fr. Michael Pfleger led a protest in January 2000 against the payday loan industry demanding the State of Illinois to regulate loan businesses. (NBC 5 Week of January 3, 2000)"

It doesn't end there.  Barney Frank is also involved.  According to this article,  "Far left Rep. Barney Frank, the author of the Dodd-Frank Bill and one of the top villains behind the mortgage crisis, supports the Occupy Wall Street movement so much that his staff helped organize the Occupy New Bedford protest on Saturday. They even planned the protest or coincide with a Frank speaking engagement in the area."

Now things are beginning to escalate.  It is no wonder that this is happening in California.  After all, isn't that the place where most riots begin.  Question is, will this spread into other "occupations"?  According to this article,  "Police fired tear gas and sound grenades to disperse hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters in Oakland, near San Francisco, an AFP photographer said."

"The protesters later regrouped and started hurling eggs at the riot police, who responded by firing paint-balls at them."

Let's use some common sense here.  We have the right to protests, but, rioting does nothing but cost all of us more money.  We all have to pay for the extra police to attempt to maintain the civility of those who protest, but, we also have to pay for all the damange they do.

Redistrubition of Wealth and a run on banks

Welcome to "Redistribution of Wealth".  The wall street protesters and Obama now have first hand experience on redistribution of wealth.

According to wikipedia:

Redistribution of wealth is the transfer of income, wealth or property from some individuals to others caused by a social mechanism such as taxation, monetary policies, welfare, nationalization, charity, divorce or tort law.^[1] Most often it refers to progressive redistribution, from the rich to the poor, although it may also refer to regressive redistribution, from the poor to the rich.

According to dictionary.com: Theft is defined as:

the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.

I don't see much difference here. Redistribution of wealth is taking from the rich and giving to the poor.  While theft is someone poor taking from those more fortunate.  According to this article:

 A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield.

According to this article:

Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops — and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.

Now, not only are the protesters calling for a run on banks, but, so are the politicians.  Makes me wonder if the politicians are hoping for another bank bailout.

According to this article:

In an effort to send a message to big banks, some organizers, who are supported by the protestors of the Occupy Wall Street movement, have organized an event to remove all funds from banks and into credit unions.

The date planned for this event is November 5, 2011.

According to this article:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) doubled down on his anti-Wall Street rhetoric over the weekend, encouraging protesters to withdraw money from the major banks and calling the financial industry “the most powerful, dangerous and secretive” institution in the United States.

I agree, if you feel like your bank isn't working the way you like it to and you find another bank that is better, then switch banks.  That is your right and another one of the great things about this country.  We still have some control here on decision making.  How much longer we will be able to enjoy our right to choose is a question I cannot answer.

Wall Street protesters against greed

If you  watch and listen to the protesters on Wall Street and now all across the country, one of their main complaints is how the rich are greedy.  I find that to be hypocritical.  Aren't we all a little greedy?  Some more than others though.

Look at it this way.  We work, earn money and go out and buy things.  The more we buy the more we want.  When the latest gadget comes out, don't we want to go out and buy it whether we need it or not?  That is greed.

Definition of GREED

: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed

Many have made their fortunes by playing the stock market.  Well, so can the rest of us.  We can only achieve that by educating ourselves on how the stock market works and what are good investments.  Of course, you have to have money to invest in the stock market.  The best way to do that is work and save some money.

Unlike this person, we can be smarter.

Yes, it would be nice to have all the newest gadgets, but, ask yourself... do you really need it, or would you prefer to save your money and invest wisely?  We have the same opportunity as those who invest and make money via the stock market.  There are other opportunities to make money just like those "greedy" politicians, investors, and corporations.  Just learn how and do it.  That is what makes this country great.

If you think your politician is getting to "greedy"...vote them out!

Apologist in Chief

I think it is absolutely the most insulting thing a "President" can do, is to apologize for things the American people feel we need not apologize for and insult the American citizen.  How many times is Obama going to apologize to other countries and cultures on our behalf. 

In this article, "The U.S. State Department made a phone call to the family of Al Qaeda propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death during a U.S. drone strike in Yemen, a department spokesman confirms."

Hello Mr. President, Samir Khan was a member of Al Qaeda, who wants to KILL us.  Yes, he was an American Nationalized Citizen, but, he chose to go against America and chose the side of those who want us dead.

 

In this article, "Leaked cables show Japan nixed a presidential apology to Hiroshima and Nagasaki for using nukes to end the overseas contingency operation known as World War II."

This article lists the top 10 apologies Obama has made:

1. Apology to Europe: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3.

2. Apology to the Muslim world: Interview with Al Arabiya, January 27

3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: Address to the Summit of the Americas, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, April 17.

4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: News conference in London, April 2

5. Apology for the War on Terror: Speech in Washington, D.C., May 21

6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: Speech in Strasbourg, France, April 3.

7. Apology for America before the Turkish Parliament: Speech to the Turkish Parliament, Ankara, Turkey, April 6.

8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: Editorial “Choosing a Better Future in the Americas,” April 16

9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: Remarks to CIA employees at Langley, Va., April 29.

10. Apology for Guantanamo: Speech in Washington, D.C., May 21

I have a question for Obama.  When are you going to apologize to the American people?  If Obama feels the need to apologize, I think he should start here at home.  The American people are suffering, but, that seems to be exactly what he wants.  Mr. Obama, you are not God.  No one is perfect, even you Mr. Obama.  You owe US an apology for allowing this country to continue and escalate the problems Americans face today.  If you wanted us to have jobs and save our country, then get to the White House and do your job.  That is what we are paying you to do, not campaign all the time.

Christians under attack ..... again

The attacks on Christians keep coming.  According to this article, "President Barack Obama's Justice Department asked the Supreme Court last week to give the federal government the power to tell a church who its ministers will be."

How far will this Campaigner in Chief go to extinguish Christianity.  You may remember that they have already attacked Crosses being placed at Veterans Cemeteries, even going as far as to stop anyone from saying "God Bless you" when you sneeze.  I think it is ironic that they use the excuse of "Separation of Church and State", yet, here they are telling this Church who they can hire to teach their children.

According to the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"  If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the DOJ how will that affect the rest of us?  Our government already has their hands in almost everything we do.

It is interesting how the administration uses the "Separation of Church and State" to attack Christians, but, they won't hesitate to back a Muslim Mosque to be built close to Ground Zero.  Many people have questioned Obama's religious beliefs and I think the questions are justified.

Obama is laying the structure for something.  Looking at all he has done to destroy this country is unsettling.  George Soros wants a "New World Order" and he is helping to finance the Occupy Wall street movement.  In my opinion, Obama is obliging George Soros who is an atheist. 

According to this article, "George Soros is a Hungarian-American financier, businessman and notable philanthropist focused on supporting liberal ideals and causes. He became known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros had correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound sterling."  George Soros has done this many times.

"The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but—more important—tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."

What will a New World Oder look like?  It's hard to say, but, I would venture to say it's goodbye to our Constitution, our freedoms, our liberties, and life as we know it.

Supporters of Occupy Wall Street

Let's take a look at some of the "supporters" of Occupy Wall Street and what they stand for.

First. let's look at Van Jones.  You may remember he was the "Green Jobs Czar" in the Obama Administration.  He has stated: “They had the Arab spring, which was a people-powered, non-violent opportunity to change the conversation in those countries,” Jones said. “We should have an American Autumn--people-powered, non-violent.”  Read the article here.


Now, I want to take a minute and look at how "non-violent" the Arab Spring was.  This was anything but non-violent.  You can watch the video here.  Be aware some of the scenes can be very distrubing.  Can it happen here in the U.S.?  Is this what we want?

In this video Van Jones even warns us of what is going to happen.

How about Francis Fox Piven?  She is a radical left winger, who, along with Van Jones believes that violence is what it takes to get things done.  In this video, she specifically states it is okay to use violence.

As stated in this article, "Fears expressed by some that the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement is being hijacked by the Democratic Party establishment have intensified after the official OWS website announced that it “stands in solidarity” with MoveOn.org, a lobbying group for the Wall Street-backed Obama administration." 

As stated in this article, "My friend Scott Johnson got a tip from a reader that the progressive New York political party Working Families has run an ad on Craigslist, one that apparently promises a salary for joining the OccupyWallStreet protests. "

To make matters even more interesting, according to this article,  "The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury man’s upcoming trial." 

Now I ask you, is this what you stand for?  These people and groups involved are "smooth talkers".  They make things sound real good, but the question is... is it?
