Signs of the Times
Just About Covers It!
So, Let's Recap
"2009".........what a year!
1. The American people inaugurate a half-arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt city/state in America whose governors have been ousted from office, and his first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated.
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm , Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!)
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!)
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake???)
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm... another screw-up?)
8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!)
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed. (Dear God, I am getting a headache!)
All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . but who's counting?
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!"
The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV!
Here's the good news though:
1. Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, and failed, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.
2. Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city and failed.
3. Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming and failed.
4. Obama went to new Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor and failed.
5. Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor and failed.
6. Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator and failed.
7. Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.
8. Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance.
9.. He must miss Reverend Wright!
10. And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.
In these times 'I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money. Anyone that supports this insanity can keep "THE CHANGE".
National Treasure
The movie National Treasure was on the tube the other day and Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) recites a part of the "Declaration of Independence" that has really struck home in the crazy land that is called "The United States." I wanted to share this with you because it gets diectly to the heart of the matter! No doubt, I will have Obama police watching me from now until he is voted out of office but it is a risk that I will gladly accept in the pursuit of taking my country back.
Of all the ideas that became the United States, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."
As Ben Gates goes on to say, Americans (The People) are charged with not only the RIGHT but a RESPONSIBILITY to protect the Country and ourselves from TYRANNY. In my humble opinion, America is today facing the largest threat of Tyranny since the days of the founding fathers. When the Congress and the President FAILS to LISTEN to the will of the people that they are charged to represent, then surely this is Tyranny. Now my question is, "Did the founding fathers already perceive that one day we would face this Catastrophe that is happening in this Country?" A very famous quote from Thomas Jefferson leads me to believe that the answer is in the affirmative.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Thomas Jefferson
Stop Making Excuses
Mr. Obama, I challenge you to stop making excuses for everything by laying blame on President Bush and Republicans! Yes, while President Bush was in office, the deficit and debt soared. He made hard decisions that were unpopular but he made those decisions based upon his oath to "Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic." I would like to remind you that while the President puts forward budget recommendations to the Congress, indeed it is the Congress that controls the purse of the United States and during the last two years of the Bush adminstration, it was your party that was in the majority. Therefore, your excuses are without merit. Moreover, you have held the office for over a year and we are facing the largest deficit in just one year than all other President's have faced in the history of the US.
You mentioned just recently that you were not an idealogue! The American People are still waiting for the proof of that statement.
Your Hard Earned Money
Remember the speech during the campaign where Obama stated that the "Pork Barrel" would end. He expected Congress to send him a bill that was free of earmarks and pork, else he would Veto it. Check out these facts:
During the Defense appropriations bill that was signed into law just before the end of the year, government watchdogs found $4.2 Billion Dollars of PORK! This is just ONE bill Ladies and Gentlemen. In all, Congress added in 1,720 pet projects, including:
·$5 million for a visitors center in San Francisco
·$23 million for indigent health care in Hawaii
·$18 million for the Edward Kennedy Policy Institute in Massachusetts
·$1.6 million to computerize hospital records in Oakland
·$47 million for anti-drug training centers around the country
·$20 million for the World War II Museum in Louisiana
·$3.9 million grant to develop an energy-efficient solar film for buildings
·$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research
·$3.6 million for marijuana eradication in Kentucky
·$2.4 million for handicap access and a sprinkler system at a community club in New York
Lawmakers also added $5 billion for two destroyers, 10 C-17 cargo planes and to develop a jet engine the
Pentagon neither wants nor needs. Critics call it classic pork -- projects that may save jobs, but not money. To be fair to the Obama administation, this was a result of a must pass bill that funds our troops and ongoing defense spending and would have been disasterous if delayed by a Veto. CAN ANYONE SAY "LINE ITEM VETO!"
This teacher is truly a genius!
As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
This man is truly a genius!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A...
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on)
Remember, there is a test coming up. The mid-term election in 2010!
HAVE THEY LOST THEIR MINDS?
I am not a fan of the UN for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is their inability to do anything right and in a timely manner! Now a report has surfaced on my favorite news network, FOXNEWS, that these clowns advocate teaching not only masturbation to 5 year olds, but to discuss every facet of sexuality including homosexuality, transgender, etc. in addition to hetrosexuality.
First of all, let me make it perfectly clear that when you come to my home or my children's school to deliver this GARBAGE, that my children will not be in attendance!!
Second, if you insist by some law that I am compelled to allow this action that I will be compelled to fill your arse full of buckshot!!!
A Federal Park You Can't Visit
Obviously the entire Congress hasn't received the MEMO that the U.S. is BROKE!! That is the only excuse that I can offer for this "PORK" lunacy. A lovely 2900 acres has been turned over to the Parks Administration for Americans to enjoy. The only bad part is that it will be difficult for "most" Americans to take in this latest addition since it is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Oh, I forgot to mention that it only cost the taxpayer a tidy $50,000,000.00. That's right, fifty million dollars!
I am the first to agree for the preservation of land and the natural beauty of our Country, even though at last count, the government already owns almost 60% of the land already. This ladies and gentlemen is Pork Barrel spending at its best. Please see the full story
