Sweet Deals For Democrats Are Unconstitutional

It is beyond belief the Congress and Obama continue to break the law and violate the constitution of the United States. Recent bribes to Congress by the white house have broken the law. It is against our constitution to favor one state over another and that is exactly what is being done to pass Obamacare.

Our Constitution states in Article 1, Section 9: `No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another’.

“Article 4, Section 4 states: `The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of Government’. Also under our US code Title 18 210 Titled Bribery of Public Officials and Witnesses: Section B reads, `Whoever directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official (officials is defined as a member of Congress, Delegate or Resident Commissioner) or any person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or priorises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any person or entity with intent (a) to influence any official act; or (b) to influence such public official or person who has been selected to be a public official to commit or aid in committing, or colluding, or ally any fraud or make opportunity for the commission of any fraud on the United States.”

Whether you are a democrat, republican or independent you should be an American above all else. We as Americans MUST stop this violation and the loss of our freedoms.

I'm just glad the money didn't go to waste like helping the unemployed or homeless.

This Could NEVER Happen In America

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE !



"Happiness depends on ourselves" ~ Aristotle


"C'mon, that will never happen in America ."


What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the history of the United States?


1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of America 's largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government?


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama's first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the US Big-Three automakers: Ford, GM, and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO's of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government?


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 21 Czars, without congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions. That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy.


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency - with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion - triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would pass Obama's $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010. That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion.


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan. That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That

several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list.


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public.


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America 's past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela 's strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America.


Would you have said, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new "Fairness Doctrine." That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media in communist countries?


Would you say, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."


9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that requires the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama's Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense.


Would you say, "Cmon that will never happen in America ."



10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people. That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production, the environment, health care, and the wealth of every US citizen.


Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."


11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently held in Iran . (And maybe under review by ACORN.)



I know - I know what you will say. That will never happen in America .


If we don't do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2010 and 2012, may God have mercy on our souls. Pass this on to every freedom loving American you can.

Naval Commander Charges Obama With Treason

Interesting catch -22: The "president" is either guilty as charged or Lt. Commander Walter F. Fitzpatrick III (Ret.) is guilty of mutiny


Either Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason, as formally charged in a March, 2009 federal criminal complaint filed by retired Navy Lt. Commander Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, on March 17th, (or) Comdr. Fitzpatrick is indeed guilty of mutiny: "Forcible or passive resistance to lawful authority; especially: concerted revolt (as of a naval crew) against discipline or a superior officer."


There is no higher authority for a U.S. naval commander than the superior office of commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces, the president of the United States. Yet, Comdr. Fitzpatrick has publicly and formally charged "President" Barack Hussein Obama with the high crime of treason in a federal complaint filed with James R. Dedrick U.S. Attorney, Eastern District Tennessee, and Edgar Schmutzer, Dedrick’s Assistant U.S. Attorney on March 17, 2009.


In doing so, LCDR Fitzpatrick opened himself up to the very serious charge of mutiny, a crime which requires Court Martial and carries the penalty of death.


In the criminal complaint, Fitzpatrick has charged Barack Hussein Obama (and others alleged complicit) with treason, an act that, if false, constitutes an act of mutiny on behalf of Commander Fitzpatrick. If, on the other hand, Commander Fitzpatrick is right, then the act constitutes the ultimate selfless act of true patriotism, and a glowing example of what it means to stand on an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, in order to be guilty of mutiny, Commander Fitzpatrick’s charges would have to be proven false. In order to be proven false, Obama’s secret files would have to be opened up for discovery, which explains why Obama has not charged the Commander with mutiny. Any defensive legal action on Obama’s part will result in "discovery" of the events and facts involved, and that is the last thing Obama wants at this point. So, instead of a legal defense, every effort will be made to defeat Commander Fitzpatrick in the court of public opinion, by attacking his character.


Commander Fitzpatrick is a retired career Naval Officer who has served his country with great honor and distinction and continues to today. An Eagle Scout of 40 years, the son of naval medical officer Captain Walter Fitzpatrick II, Comdr. Fitzpatrick enlisted in the navy in 1969 directly after graduating Villanova. After boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center, he attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Bainbridge, MD. After one year he entered the U.S. Naval Academy. He graduated with the Class of 1975 with top military honors.


Stand Commander Fitzpatrick next to that of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid, or most any other American for that matter, and tell me who you trust to tell the truth?


Aside from the trust issue, Comdr. Fitzpatrick has nothing to gain by filing charges of treason against Obama but was willing to risk all in defense of the U.S. Constitution and the people it was written to protect. The situation could hardly be more serious! If this were a game of high stakes poker, the Commander just went all-in!


From the official complaint: "Your criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger. You fundamentally changed our form of government. The Constitution no longer works. Confidently holding your silent agreement and admission, I identify you as a foreign born domestic enemy. My sworn duty, Mr. Obama, is to stand against what you stand for. You are not my president. You are not my commander in chief." There’s nothing at all ambiguous about this statement. The basis upon which Commander Fitzpatrick makes his charge is equally straight forward.

"You [Mr. Obama] have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling and deceit. Posing as an imposter president and commander in chief, you have stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors—command racketeers—are now free in the exercise of military government intent upon destruction of America’s constitutional government."



You can read the federal criminal complaint against Obama in its entirely at Commander Fitzpatrick’s blog site at http://jaghunters.blogspot.com%E2%80%94the/ JAG Hunter...Dauntless and unafraid! where you can also find additional follow-up information. [The complaint lists the litany of items of contention that have already been proved true, such as records not produced, records proved to be forgeries, associations with notorious organized criminals, drug traffickers and socialists].



Has Fitzpatrick lost his mind? Fitzpatrick reports that two days after he filed his charges against the President of the United States, the Secret Service showed up on his doorstep - "Two Secret Service special agents came to my residence two months ago... on 19 March 2009, as directed by James Russell Dedrick, United States Attorney for the Eastern District, Tennessee. Dedrick and his assistant, attorney Edgar Schmutzer, triggered the Secret Service alert and reaction upon receipt of my federal criminal complaint naming Mr. Obama in commission of the crime of TREASON. Dedrick reported me a threat to the imposter Obama. "The two Secret Service agents, escorted by two local police officers, arrived at eight minutes before 3 o’clock in the afternoon. They all left about an hour later. I’m still here."

It's Time For The Corruption To Be Ended

I am once again amazed that Bill Clinton was impeached for having and lying about an extra-marital affair. Yep it was totally wrong and immoral but it certainly didn't violate our constitution. Here we have total corruption and anti-Americanism within our own government. Obama has been in bed with ACORN for a very long time and they have again been caught with their pants down. It is the almighty Barack himself who told us to judge him by the people he surrounds himself with. So far I've seen radicals and future inmates. Impeachment was meant for exactly this type of government behavior. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. THIS is what our constitution reads:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Constitution states in Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU WILL be held accountable.

It's Time To GObama

Yet another futile attempt by Obama trying to shove government health care down our throats. You want to do something for America and truly boost our economy here's what you can do and ALL for less than one of your banks paid as a bonus to just ONE of their executives.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander
the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto
Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing
Crisis fixed.

And whatever they have left over will more than likely be much more than they would have had in retirement savings anyway. And since they won't have any car or mortgage payments they could probably pay their PRIVATE health insurance premiums with some of the interest on their savings.

It can't get any easier than that! If more money is needed, then just politely ask members of Congress to please pay their taxes.

It's amazing how much we could have accomplished with a mere $40 million but instead chose to have a $819 billion stimulus package given only to big banks and special interest groups. I'm not a treasury secretary, an accountant or a politician but I'm a father of four who learned how to use a budget and make what money I had work. Why in the hell can't these people? You don't need to tell us how to live our lives. We've done just fine on our own for over 233 years.

The Messiah Strikes Again

Just when you thought it was dangerous to step outside, Obama and his goon squad now want to take control of the internet in case of emergency. Of course an "emergency" is considered a drop in the polls by Obama and his followers. Our freedom of speech is being suppressed and our constitutional rights are once again being trampled on.

Watch how this police officer decides that he doesn't like a protester's sign and takes away his constitutional rights and then tells him that this isn't America anymore!!!

Still Not Enough?

At what point do we as Americans say, ENOUGH? We've been lied to, extorted and have been called every name in the book by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their cronies in their democratic Congress. We're Un-American and racists because we disagree with Obama and his policies. We're considered a mob if we raise our concerns at town hall meetings. And we've been told by several democratic congressmen that they could care less what their constituents want and will be self serving. You are witnessing, the self-destruction of the democratic party. Unfortunately, at the same time, they are taking our country down with them. It's time to vote these people out of office in 2010 and the Amazing Barack in 2012. Our freedom depends on it.

Our Constitution - Bill Of Rights

Our U.S. Constitution is under attack by our own government more concerned with their own personal agendas than they are with the well being of the American people. Town hall meetings across the nation have had many angry REAL Americans voicing their frustrations and being swept aside by the Obama administration as "manufactured". They WILL NOT take away our freedom of speech or right to voice our opinions.
To those who have chosen to ignore the voice of people, may they enjoy their last term in office and once they're unemployed may they enjoy the government run, socialist health care that they have shoved down our throats.

We read the Constitution and Bill of Rights in school, took our tests and then many forgot what it said. It's time to read it for real and fully understand what is says. Our freedom and our future depend on it. This congress has made a mockery of this important document. We as Americans MUST defend our constitution if our government will not!

What's A Trillion Dollars??

All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...

A billion dollars...

A hundred billion dollars...

Eight hundred billion dollars...

One TRILLION dollars...

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.

While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...

And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...

Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?

It's pretty surprising.

Go ahead...

Scroll down...

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars...

Notice those pallets are double stacked.
...and remember those are $100 bills.

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.

India To Obama: We're Not Interested In Capping Carbon Emissions

Hillary could not persuade the Indian Government to cap their carbon emissions like US democrats are pushing on American businesses.
No dice.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, right, and India's Junior Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh, share a light moment upon the former's arrival at the ITC hotel chain's Green Building in Gurgaon, on the outskirts of New Delhi, India, Sunday, July 19, 2009. (AP)

India's environment minister told visiting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the country is not interested in capping carbon emissions.
Bloomberg reported, via LGF:

India will resist pressure from the Obama administration to accept legally binding caps on its carbon emissions, the South Asian nation’s environment minister told visiting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“There is simply no case for the pressure that we, who have been among the lowest emissions per capita, face to actually reduce emissions,” Jairam Ramesh said at a meeting today with Clinton in Gurgaon near New Delhi, according to a statement he issued to reporters. “And as if this pressure was not enough, we also face the threat of carbon tariffs on our exports to countries such as yours.”

Clinton is on a state visit to India meant to showcase trade and security ties and seek common ground on climate change and arms control. India has said it will reject any new treaty to limit global warming that makes it reduce emissions because that will undermine the country’s energy consumption, transportation and food security.

Related... It was reported this weekend that House Democratic Leaders bought off key Blue Dogs the night before the cap and trade vote.

The potential cost of the democrat's cap and trade policy is enormous. It will likely cost $700 to $1,400 dollars per family per year. The Department of Energy estimated that a similar bill, S. 2191, the Warner-Lieberman cap-and-trade proposal, will increase the cost of coal for power generation by between 161 percent and 413 percent. Human Events reported that the DOE estimated GDP losses (see chart) over the 21-year period they forecast, at between $444 billion and $1.308 trillion. There are estimates that the bill could increase unemployment by 2.7 percent or about 4 million jobs.
No wonder a developing country like India is not interested.

Does This Scare You? It Should!

A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S. Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades. Yet an inside source tells me that Iran already has a nuclear weapon and also have a way of delivering it. The IAEA knows this and has known it for a long time yet insists on keeping it secret. When will they let the world know?

The CIA Has A New Mole

,Here we sit, still listening to the Messiah as though he is accomplishing something. As nothing he has done so far has been successful he continues to blame things on the Bush administration. I suppose we may as well get use to it, as nothing he does will be successful. He has purposely set this country up to fail. And now his morons in congress are once again attacking the CIA, trying to protect the wicked witch, Nancy Pelosi over a program which was never even made operational. This congress CANNOT be trusted. They have their puppet in the CIA now in the form of the director Leon Panetta. Obama's own personal mole. Anything done within this organization now will be tattled to congress which in turn will inform the New York Times who will, of course broadcast it to the world including our enemies. Once the truth is known, this will be egg in the face of Democrats. This congress and administration have destroyed our national security beyond belief. But pay attention now. The hand is quicker than the eye! While they have the American public focused on Cheney and the CIA, they're trying to sneak the climate and health care bill through congress with our attention elsewhere. Smoke and mirrors is the motus operandi of the democratic congress. In a way, it is a positive thing that Obama is setting the precedence of investigating previous administrations of wrong doing as he himself will find his own administration being investigated for treason and securities fraud in the future. They are violating the constitution of the United States. Unfortunately, only those Americans who truly care enough about this country to know what is in our constitution will know what a blatant violation has been done.

Please be honest with yourself. Other than the words "WE THE PEOPLE" do you have any idea of what our constitution says?

The Declaration of Independence - We The People Have The Power For Change

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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 to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Unemployment Rates Since 1999

Here is a chart listing the unemployment rates by month since 1999. What happened in January 2009? Oh yeah, the chosen one started his slick wheeling and dealing.

Common Sense

I think I know who you are. After September 11th you thought our country had changed for the better. But the months that followed proved otherwise. We began to divide ourselves and the partisan bickering that was absent from blood lines and church service started all over again. You sometimes argue with friends about politics, not because you are a political activist, but because you think the issues are actually important. You have strong beliefs, but you also have an open mind and a warm heart. You try to do the right thing every day. You work hard, you always try to do your best and you play by the rules. You have credit cards, but you can make the payments. You have a home, but with a loan you can afford. Maybe you bought a flat screen television that wasn’t exactly a necessity, but you’ve never been reckless. You don’t have much in savings and your retirement plans have lost a significant amount of money. You may go to church, but most weekends, you don’t really want to—you’d rather sleep in or play with your kids. Besides, it bothers you that people cut each other off in the parking lot right after the service. You have children and, like all families, you also have your share of problems—but you’re making it. You constantly hope that your kids don’t notice you’re bluffing as a parent most of the time.

You don’t feel like there’s enough time in the day anymore to just be a family. Everyone is always going in six different directions. You know material things don’t matter, but you wonder why it makes you feel like a bad parent if your kids don’t have certain shoes, the newest video games, or aren’t signed-up for five different sports teams. You didn’t have anywhere near the kind of stuff that today’s kids have and yet you look back on your childhood with a sense of nostalgia and pride. If your family was poor, you didn’t know it. You turn on the television at the end of a long, tiring day and watch as faceless analysts in left/right boxes argue about things done by bankers that, in retrospect, seem implausible. You’re worried about what’s happening to our economy, but you’re more worried about what it means for your family—and you’re not sure what to do. You don’t hate people who are different than you, but you stopped expressing opinions on sensitive issues a long time ago because you don’t want to be called a racist, bigot or homophobe if you stand by your values and principles. You believe in treating people justly and honestly but there is a difference between right and wrong. You go to bed exhausted almost every night, knowing you have to get up the next day and do it all over again. You thought that the politicians you supported and defended cared about the issues you do. Then you began to realize that you were wrong—they only care about themselves and their careers. You feel used and betrayed. You don’t think it’s right that while you worked hard, lived prudently, and spent wisely, those who did the opposite are now being bailed out at your expense. You realize now that self-serving politicians and bankers built our financial system on a house of cards that, despite the cheery promises and rosy forecasts, is now collapsing. Now our government, the instigator of our problems, is telling everyone that they have to start sacrificing. Don’t they understand that I already have been, you think. You weren’t the one spending too much or living on money you didn’t have. You made decisions rooted in logic while others made decisions rooted in greed—yet now everyone must pay equally? Yet, despite all of that, you’re still willing to sacrifice more because you want America to succeed. But you demand a plan that’s based on common sense and that actually has a chance to work. You’ve called your congressman a few times in the past, but they don’t listen. Now you just scream at the television. It’s about as effective as the phone calls. The light from the television flickers on the darkened room walls - people at tea parties across the nation fill the screen. You don’t know how to feel. You want to do something, but that isn’t you. You’re not an activist. You don’t make signs or chant: USA! USA! USA! So, you turn-off your light and go to sleep. Every night it seems you are faced with a choice: do you unplug or do you speak out? Both of those options make you uncomfortable so you do neither…and your frustration continues to grow.

No Respect!

President Obama gets the respect that he deserves from Russian President Dmitry Medvede. He won't even look at him while shaking his hand. He and the rest of the world have come to find that "words are cheap!"

Happy 4th Of July - God Bless America

Our Constitution - Remember These Words

“Our Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other ...

"The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue ... A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

John Adams
President, United States

An Open Letter To President Obama

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama,

You are the tenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in` writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Barack Has An Agenda...What Is It?

Let's be honest. It's obvious that Mr. Obama has some kind of agenda and it has absolutely nothing to do with America. What do you think it might be? He is taking control of everything in America. What made our country great was free enterprise something that we no longer have. So far he has control of our financial and automotive industries and now he's after health care. This man DOES NOT walk on water nor is he the Messiah. He has already broken so many campaign promises and it's only been 5 months. He continues to blame the previous administration for all of our problems but be certain if things get better HE will take credit. If things get worse and fail it will be Bush's fault once again. This man has no backbone at home or abroad. He is so weak that he cannot even control Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank. They have yet to shut their mouths and continue to embarrass him more than even he needs. If it weren't so sad, it would be comical how they say that the Republican party is in disarray when the president can't even get his own party in line. The constitution is gone and has become the Obama papers. Our government has always had a checks and balances in place for a reason and it was to keep exactly this from happening. Now he has appointed his Czars who answer to no one but him. Not congress and certainly not the American people. He has a 31 year old in charge of fixing GM and Chrysler who hasn't even graduated yet and admits that he knows NOTHING about cars or the automotive industry. Great first job to have as an intern. While there have been so many ridiculous things that CEO Obama has done since taking office, it is nice to know that he will be a ONE term president as at some point the American people will have had enough.

Bankruptcy judge OKs 789 Chrysler dealer cuts

All hand chosen by your dictator in charge...I mean commander in chief. Of course following careful discussions with his car czar. Your country is being sold out. Sit back and enjoy.

It's Obvious That He Doesn't Understand

The president finally gave his much hyped speech and continued to apologize for being an American as many knew that he would. What is it about Iran that he does not understand? An elementary school student understands what Iran wants. They want nothing less than the total destruction of Israel and America. No fancy words that Obama or any other U.S. president can speak will change their mindset. The leaders of Iran are psychopaths and the sooner the new administration realizes that, the safer we will all be. It's nice that his speech to Muslim nations today was applauded by them. The fact is that none of them give a damn what he has to say. They will not "unclench" their fists. These fanatics will always have an excuse as to why 9/11 was necessary just as a man who beats a woman has a reason or a person who murders someone has their justification. The fact if that we, as Americans allow this and have no one to blame but ourselves. I have no doubt that our economy will eventually recover. No thanks to the current administration. It has no place to go but up! Our country is being destroyed from within and no one seems to care. We have truly become the weakest and most subservient country in the world. We will not defend ourselves. We will not uphold the Constitution of the United States of America as it has become nothing more than a historical document. Our politicians shouldn't be quoting it if they don't even know what's in it much like our latest stimulus bill. Even worse, don't know the meaning of it. Take a good look around. Big Brother has taken over and you missed it! And it's still early yet! Get your wallets out. Big Brother needs some money to pay for it all. I'm starting to sound like some right wing media reporter yet I am simply an American who loves my country. I've served her in every capacity that I know how just as many before me have and yet Lady Liberty is crying and no one gives a damn.

Religion in America

In America, we embrace people from all cultures, all religions and all political views. This country has been built on Freedom, that is the one thing that separates us from any other country in the world.
Freedom in America has come at a very large price. We have sacrificed our sons, daughters, husbands, brothers, sisters and fathers so that this country could maintain it's freedom for every generation to come.
Look at our National Anthem, look at the print on our money, read our constitution......we have a God that we Trust, that we pray to so our soldiers are kept safe.
Why is it that other cultures can not be respectful of Christian culture in which they take cover every night?...why can't they be as respectul to the Americans who have shed blood in this country?.....Quit trying to make America into the country in which you fled!.....We still speak English here and we are still a Christian Country!

Obama...The New King Tut?

At least one Cairo, Egypt shop owner thinks so as he displays his new sign at his shop.

The U.S. Is No Longer A Christian Nation

It appears that there is no length that President Obama will go to trying to get the Muslim world to embrace HIM! He has said that the United States is no longer a Christian nation and now has completely put his foot in his mouth stating that the U.S. is one of the largest Muslim nations in the world! What in the hell is he talking about? Even if every person who even considered themselves partially Muslim were to agree that would place the U.S. in about 35th place in the world. Not surprisingly Mr. Obama has twisted facts since his campaign and will most certainly continue to do so. Now he is among friends, in the middle east, where he feels comfortable. At the same time he embraces them he alienates Israel. I lived in Israel for 3 years working with our federal government. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of Israel but they are without a doubt our biggest ally in the middle east and we have now turned our backs on them. While the president is in the middle east enhancing his friendships, Americans are being shot and killed in America by extremists while others are threatening to breach our borders with biological weapons killing over 300,000 Americans in an hour. Say what you will about President Bush. He kept the war in their backyard. President Obama has allowed it to come to ours.

Still No Comment From President Obama on Shooting of U.S. Soldiers in Arkansas

With President Obama's main concern focusing on soothing and appeasing the Muslim world, he has still not commented on the shooting of two American soldiers in Arkansas.

However, Senator Joe Lieberman issued the following statement today in response to the shooting of two U.S. soldiers at an Arkansas recruiting station by a Muslin convert who said that he was opposed to the U.S. military. “Hadassah and I offer our deepest sympathies to the families of the U.S. soldier shot and killed and a second soldier wounded in Arkansas yesterday. Members of the Armed Forces sacrifice every day to keep our nation safe, and we are grateful for their courageous service. This tragedy once again illustrates the very real dangers posed by homegrown terrorism in the United States and the urgent need for all of us - including federal, state, and local governments - to understand and combat this threat.” On Sunday, a few hours after the death of abortionist George Tiller, the White House emailed a statement to reporters in which the president said: "I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning." It has now been more than 24 hours since news broke that Pvt. William Long was killed and Pvt. Quentin Ezeagwula was wounded in Arkansas. President Obama has not issued a statement. The White House has not responded to an email from TWS asking if the president will issue a statement.

2009 Obama Apology Tour

Don't forget to catch President Obama on the continuation of his 2009 American Apology Tour to Europe and the Middle East this week where he apologizes for our arrogance and dictatorship through the years. Our American war dead sincerely apologize for coming to aid of those countries who were in need of help. We hope that you can forgive us.

How Can Americans Let This Happen?

How in the United States Of America does this happen?.....How does one man have so much power to change the ideals that this country was built on?.....We are supposed to have "check systems" in place to prevent this....Where are the American people??....why have Americans stopped speaking up for their rights?....these rights that their own ancestors have lost lives over....How can Americans let all that blood be shed for nothing. Our ancestors left their home countries to pursue lives of freedom away from taxation without representation...doesn't anyone remember that?....that is exactly what we are headed back into.....look at the tax rates of England and Canada....look at their healthcare systems....look at their weak military services....this is what Obama has in store for us in America....didn't we learn anything from history?....we are moving backwards not forward!!!...WAKE UP AMERICANS!...SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF, YOUR CHILDREN AND MOST OF ALL EVERY MAN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES SO WE COULD ALL BE FREE!

Obama's Date Night

The White House refuses to release the cost of Mr. Obama's date night trip to New York city. Might it be because his date may have paid quite a few of out of work Americans annual salaries for the entire year? Hope you enjoyed yourself Mr. President. The unemployed think you deserve a night out on the town. Oh and if we are now the major shareholders of two car companies and several major banks, why can't we afford to pay our rent?

Pride of Being An American is Gone

I am probably one of the most patriotic people you would ever meet. I served everyone of my years in the military and federal government with a great pride. I flew the American flag proudly at my home. Just this week I've read where a woman was banned from having the American flag in her office over Memorial day and now today there is a former Marine who is being threatened by his homeowner's association to be fined and have his car towed because he has Marine Corps and U.S. decals displayed showing his pride in country and military service. What has happened to this country? Have we been so infiltrated by anti-Americanism that we can no longer function as the United States of America? What happened to the anger, pride and bonding that we had after 9/11? Have we once again become so unconcerned about things that we will allow it to happen again? We promised our troops that they would never again be treated the way our Vietnam veterans were yet that is exactly what we are doing. Our selfishness has once again allowed us to turn our back on them but we can use the excuse that we support our troops but not the war. Sorry, you can't have it bothways. Whether they like it or not...they ARE the war. They are willing to put their life on the line and die to ensure that you have the right to bad mouth them or your country. Everday some of them die trying to protect and give a voice to people they have never met.

We the people have allowed our country to become weak. If you had any idea how many countries and terrorist groups there are out there wanting to do us great harm simply for what we stand for, something they could never have. We needed a strong president but instead got someone who thinks he is a financial and automotive CEO making hostile takeovers of U.S. companies on a weekly basis and trying to turn this country into a socialist government. I've been among socialist governments and they are not something you will enjoy.

For the first time in my 49 years, I am not proud to be an American. We are having our rights and freedoms taken from us everyday yet most don't even see it and as happens with most of these hostile takeovers you won't know it until it's too late. Our country asked for change and that's exactly what we got. Of course, by now, we should have learned that we should be careful what we ask for. I can only pray that one day this country returns to what it once was before all of our freedoms are taken away. You're no longer an American. You're a taxpaper, a number and you've just had the lives of your children and grandchildren mortgaged. Everything we have ever tried to do for our children making their lives better and futures secure has been taken away in just 100 days. We can only wonder what the next 3.5 years has in store for us.

Freedom Of Speech

As a former Marine and federal employee I am saddened to see what our nation has become. Our leaders are weak and disassociated from what America is all about. I am neither a democrat or republican. I am and always have been what is right for this country and where we are now isn't right. I am using this blog to exercise my freedom of speech although before 2012 is over, that too will be taken away. I am hoping this blog allows people to view their opinions while we are still allowed to have them. That's what this country was built on. Please don't let us lose that.
