Now I’ve heard it all. Former president jimmy carter now claims that Joe Wilson’s comment calling Obama a liar was racist. Give me a break. Not only is Carter stupid to make that comment, but it makes me believe that carter must have white guilt about slavery. He’s from the south and probably some of his ancestors were slave owners.
America is a melting pot of so many different ethnic groups and cultures that it is impossible to say something and not offend somebody. Jimmy “get over it.” I also happen to think that Obama is a liar but that has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
Carter was not only a terrible president who led the country in the wrong direction, he is also in my opinion an idiot who should keep his mouth shut because he keeps putting his foot in it.
Not only do I believe that Obama is a liar, he is also inconsiderate of the wants and needs of the American people. He forgets that the people elected him and he is here to serve THEM. Unfortunately he has made up his mind and he has his own agenda on where he wants to take our country.Joe Wilson’s comment had nothing to do with racism. He and a whole lot of other people just don’t like the direction that this administration is taking our country and they often lie to the people to get their way.
Jimmy, you had your chance and blew it. Go back to peanut farming and keep your stupid opinions to yourself.

HAPPY LABOR DAY!
Labor Day weekend is here and we have not heard from the president for a few days now. It appears that he’s been hiding. He’s taking a vacation to recuperate from the vacation that he just came back from. By the way isn’t it interesting that we haven’t seen much of Michelle either?
Back at the ranch, his right hand man, our fearless and all knowing vice president has been doing all the talking. Biden is proclaiming success beyond expectations for the $787 billion economic stimulus, but his glowing assessment overlooks many of the program's problems, including delays in releasing money, questionable spending priorities and project picks that are under investigation.
"The Recovery Act is doing more, faster and more efficiently and more effectively than most people expected," he said. What has ne been smoking?
Just today it was announced that “Unemployment hits 26 year high”. In my opinion he has no clue.
Well what do you expect from a leadership team that has no experience in dealing with such humongous issues? Getting elected is one thing, but doing the actual job is another.
Let’s see what the Big Kahuna has to say to congress next week.

THE LAST OF THE KENNEDY DYNASTY
I am not one to celebrate anyone’s death, even someone who I dislike or even consider an enemy to my way of thinking. I do however believe in telling the truth and making sure that people don’t forget the facts. Unfortunately this has become politically incorrect in America.
I received this email from a friend this morning and sent it to a few friemnds. Another friend suggested that I post it on my Blog..so here it is.
******
As soon as Ted Kennedy’s cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.
1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.
2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea, where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (Like he charged that President Bush received).
3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!
4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia, he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!
5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?
6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.
7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills... a "token of friendship"?
8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism". In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.
9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of "what's right". What a pompous ass!
10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than "great American". "A blonde in every pond" was his motto.
The spin doctors will make this man a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is. What happened to truth, justice and the American way?

THE CHANGE IS HERE
It has been some time since my last entry not only because I didn’t have time to write, but because there is so much to write about that I couldn’t decide where to start.
America is in trouble my friend and we need to change the direction that we are going in or our constitutional rights will be taken away from us and we won’t be able to turn it back.
As a refugee, an immigrant, a veteran and a patriot it is very sad for me to see that America is heading in the same direction as the country that my family escaped from over fifty years ago.
As an American I resent my president globetrotting around the world apologizing for what we as Americans have done. America is not perfect and we, especially our military have nothing to be ashamed of. If there is anything that we should be ashamed of, it is the politicians that we elected to office and the corrupt way that they do business.
As our leader goes around the world apologizing he is playing into the hands of the enemy. He is weakening our country and putting us in danger. He is badmouthing that which he represents and is supposed to support and protect.
As one that escaped from a communist country I can tell you that the Russians cannot be trusted. They don’t like us and they definitely don’t trust us. I don’t say this because I don’t like Russians; I say this because I experienced firsthand what the Russians do when they make up their minds. The war in Georgia last year is an example on how they do business.
Russia does not respect human rights just as the Chinese don’t. But the one thing I can assure you is that neither Russia nor China has a problem with illegal immigration like America does. Illegal immigrants in those countries do not go to a doctor or a hospital and expect free medical treatment at the taxpayer’s expense. An illegal immigrant cannot get a drivers license or go on welfare in those countries. That only happens in America,
That brings me to the healthcare debate that is currently an issue in the United States. Barack Obama wants everyone to have access to inexpensive healthcare and that includes an estimated 13 million illegal immigrants. Although he went to Harvard, it is obvious that he has not thought this through, or he has some really ignorant advisors around him.
I as a taxpayer who currently does not have health insurance sure as hell do not want my taxes to pay for someone who is in this country illegally. If our healthcare system is so bad than explain to me why every famous worldly politician comes to America when they have a major health problem. You never hear of anyone going to China or Russia.
I personally do not think that a healthcare bill will pass in this country this year like Barack Obama wants. God forbid that the US government will control medical care. It will be a nightmare and of course there will be more corruption.
The corruption will be just like there is in the other socialist countries. People will start paying kickbacks to doctors and staff to get appointments and treatment. It exists in socialized countries now and it is built into the system. When everyone is treated equally the only way to get special treatment is to know somebody or pay someone off.
My mother just came back to the United States after living in Hungary for the past eight years. While I was deployed to Iraq my sister had to go to Hungary and get her on an airplane and fly her back to America. She had some medical issues and the hospitals in Hungary said “we can’t help you.” That’s socialized medicine.
Back here in the United States she is being treated with dignity and getting the necessary treatment that she needs. I do have to agree that our medical system has faults and needs some fixing but the direction that our president wants to take us is way off track, not to mention the fact that we can’t afford the changes he wants. His solution is to tax everyone who is making money and they will pay for it. This is not only unfair but in my mind will bring many disgruntled Americans to the surface. The only thing I see about this situation that is good, is that people will wake up and realize that their vote for Obama was a mistake and they will not reelect him.
If you think we have a problem with people hiding their money offshore today wait and see what will happen when the government will increase taxes on businesses and those individuals that are making more than a million dollars. They will take their money out of this country in a heartbeat and I don’t blame them.
If the president is saying that this change in healthcare will be so good, then he and every member of congress should give up their current health plan (that you and I pay for) and they also should be covered in the same program just like you and I. If that were to happen, than I would seriously have to think that he believes in this change and as a leader he is practicing what he preaches.
That however is not going to ever happen. What congress and the president have they will never give up. They want change for us but they want their special perks and benefits for them to continue on. In other words do as I say, not as I do.
The change that we really need in this country is to get every politician that is currently in office out of office and elect people that are interested in representing our best interest. We need politicians and leaders who love America and want to keep America free. We need honest and ethical politicians who are here to represent our best interests. Unfortunately I don’t believe that they exist.
After being deployed overseas for the past thirteen years I saw firsthand how socialism and corruption go hand in hand. I have been struggling for the past decade to get my family back to the United States to the home of the Free and the land of the Brave.
As much as I hate to admit it, our political system is more corrupt than the one I just left behind in Hungary. This is not the change that America voted for and this is definitely not the change that we need.
The change we need is to clean house in Washington and in our state capitals. We need some new blood and fresh faces in our political system, because if we keep heading in the direction that we are currently going in, than all I see ahead for our country is tragedy and turmoil.
God Bless America!

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

BLIND AS A BAT
The first 100 days are over and the popularity of our president, Barack Obama is steady. His ratings are high, the economy is improving, or at least it seems to be. He is on TV everyday with his great big smile loving every minute of his powerful position and new lifestyle. The media won’t let up on promoting everything that he does.
Being a conservative, I worry about the direction he is taking the country, but as my commander in chief I have to give him the benefit of the doubt,…after all he is my president. I just hope he knows what he’s doing, and as I say this, there is distrust and uncertainty in the back of my mind.
In his first 100 days he has met with South American leaders including Chaves and Ortega. He also went to Europe and apologized along the way for the acts and past behavior of America. I see nothing wrong with being humble and admitting ones mistake, if and when mistakes are made, but I believe that he is going a little bit too far.
It seems to me that it still is not getting through his gullible skull that the world is a dangerous place and our enemies cannot be trusted. Not everyone that he meets with will tell him the truth and he should quit being so naive. Having been a refugee and an immigrant from a former communist country, I know from experience that “the Russians cannot be trusted, especially Putin.”
Obama actually considered having retired military personnel pay for their healthcare. Thank God that idea never took hold but what was he thinking? Who was his advisor that suggested such a stupid idea? He has not yet realized how important our military is, especially in this dangerous world and how much our men and women in uniform sacrifice to keep our country safe.
If you take a close look at president Obama’s cabinet and staff, most of them are young liberal yuppies, many of them millionaires, some tax evaders and many inexperienced at the task that they have been handed.
I do not know these people personally so I will not pick on them but I am concerned. I have no choice but to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that their intentions are honorable and that their goal is to benefit the American people and not stuff their own pockets while employed by this administration.
Look at Bill Clinton as an example. He never owned a house before he became president and now he’s a multimillionaire. His speeches can’t be worth that much. Or is it maybe who he knows and how he can get people together to do deals. You tell me!
The socialist country where my family is coming from in Europe is a very corrupt country that I have grown to hate and despise. It is the country that I was born in and from where my family escaped in 1956.
I have gotten disgusted over the years at all the corruption that is taking place there, and I am sad to say that I see the same corruption on a grander scale taking place in the American political system.
This new administration is taking a different direction than the previous leadership, and with some things I happen to agree.
With that said, I just want to know “what was president Obama was thinking when he signed this presidential determination”, and why was this topic not discussed by the media? How is this good for America?
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-2488.htm
Now I have nothing against Arabs, or Muslims personally, but one has to ask the question, “why now?” Why so secretly?
Having worked in Iraq for 14 months I have come in contact with many Muslims, many who were US citizens with a security clearance. In my humble opinion, I have no idea how some of them were granted a clearance at all, let alone Top Secret. That fact alone was an eye opener to me and was clear evidence on how weak our system is and how vulnerable America really is.
As I mentioned, I am in the process of moving my family from an ex communist country, very socialist to this day, finally to America. At the same time I am starting to realize that we are going towards that same direction that I am trying to rescue my family from. Socialism.
I repeat once again that I am not here to bash the new administration, and I am not a supporter of the hard headed, abrasive conservative right, but I do worry about where America is heading.
I have been to many countries in my life which enabled me to see how other cultures live and play. It has been a good mirror to look into that has enabled me to see the good things as well as the bad about America.
Yes, America is not perfect, far from it, but it is still one of the best places in the world to live, at least for the time being.
Why do you think the Chinese are buying up lots of real estate in California, and why are groups from England taking real estate tours and buying foreclosed properties in Detroit 10, 50 and even 100 at a time.
Because, America will bounce back and the opportunities that are here do not exist in their own countries. The sad part to this story is that foreigners and not Americans are buying these investments and they will benefit.
The problem with America is everything is for sale. Money talks and nobody walks. If you pay you can play. Unfortunately we are selling our country out from underneath us.
I learned over a decade ago, having been a government contractor that “it’s all about the money.” Integrity, honesty and loyalty all goes down the drain for a few dollars. Everything and everyone can be bought. Patriotism has become a dirty word and I have a difficult time naming anyone in congress who is there primarily for the benefit of our nation.
It appears to me that everyone is on the take. I wish I was wrong, but I don’t think so. All the politicians are quick to point fingers when something goes wrong but rarely do they take blame for mistakes they or their colleagues make. Bipartisan politics does not exist, not here or anywhere. Bipartisanship is a delusional concept promised on campaign trails but never practiced in reality.
Where am I heading with this conversation?
“National Security.”
Not everything that George W. Bush did was bad. Yes he made some mistakes, and yes I’m glad that he’s gone, but…some things he was right about. In time history will evaluate him, but even that is difficult to say, because the history books in this country are being rewritten as we speak, and some of the changes are very misleading.
We have become a politically correct country and we are apologizing for many things that should not be apologized for. In the meantime our enemies are plotting against us and we don’t even know it. I hope to God our leaders will wake up before it’s too late. The world is changing and this change is taking place in front of our very own eyes and we don’t even see it. I hope our leaders do.

He has not yet realized how important our military is, especially in this dangerous world and how much our men and women in uniform sacrifice to keep our country safe.
If you take a close look at president Obama’s cabinet and staff, most of them are young liberal yuppies, many of them millionaires, some tax evaders and many inexperienced at the task that they have been handed.
I do not know these people personally so I will not pick on them but I am concerned. I have no choice but to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that their intentions are honorable and that their goal is to benefit the American people and not stuff their own pockets while employed by this administration.
Look at Bill Clinton as an example. He never owned a house before he became president and now he’s a multimillionaire. His speeches can’t be worth that much. Or is it maybe who he knows and how he can get people together to do deals. You tell me!
The socialist country where my family is coming from in Europe is a very corrupt country that I have grown to hate and despise. It is the country that I was born in and from where my family escaped in 1956.
I have gotten disgusted over the years at all the corruption that is taking place there, and I am sad to say that I see the same corruption on a grander scale taking place in the American political system.
This new administration is taking a different direction than the previous leadership, and with some things I happen to agree.
With that said, I just want to know “what was president Obama was thinking when he signed this presidential determination”, and why was this topic not discussed by the media? How is this good for America?

Now I have nothing against Arabs, or Muslims personally, but one has to ask the question, “why now?” Why so secretly?
Having worked in Iraq for 14 months I have come in contact with many Muslims, many who were US citizens with a security clearance. In my humble opinion, I have no idea how some of them were granted a clearance at all, let alone Top Secret. That fact alone was an eye opener to me and was clear evidence on how weak our system is and how vulnerable America really is.
As I mentioned, I am in the process of moving my family from an ex communist country, very socialist to this day, finally to America. At the same time I am starting to realize that we are going towards that same direction that I am trying to rescue my family from. Socialism.
I repeat once again that I am not here to bash the new administration, and I am not a supporter of the hard headed, abrasive conservative right, but I do worry about where America is heading.
I have been to many countries in my life which enabled me to see how other cultures live and play. It has been a good mirror to look into that has enabled me to see the good things as well as the bad about America.
Yes, America is not perfect, far from it, but it is still one of the best places in the world to live, at least for the time being.
Why do you think the Chinese are buying up lots of real estate in California, and why are groups from England taking real estate tours and buying foreclosed properties in Detroit 10, 50 and even 100 at a time.
Because, America will bounce back and the opportunities that are here do not exist in their own countries. The sad part to this story is that foreigners and not Americans are buying these investments and they will benefit.
The problem with America is everything is for sale. Money talks and nobody walks. If you pay you can play. Unfortunately we are selling our country out from underneath us.
I learned over a decade ago, having been a government contractor that “it’s all about the money.” Integrity, honesty and loyalty all goes down the drain for a few dollars. Everything and everyone can be bought. Patriotism has become a dirty word and I have a difficult time naming anyone in congress who is there primarily for the benefit of our nation.
It appears to me that everyone is on the take. I wish I was wrong, but I don’t think so. All the politicians are quick to point fingers when something goes wrong but rarely do they take blame for mistakes they or their colleagues make. Bipartisan politics does not exist, not here or anywhere. Bipartisanship is a delusional concept promised on campaign trails but never practiced in reality.
Where am I heading with this conversation?
“National Security.”
Not everything that George W. Bush did was bad. Yes he made some mistakes, and yes I’m glad that he’s gone, but…some things he was right about. In time history will evaluate him, but even that is difficult to say, because the history books in this country are being rewritten as we speak, and some of the changes are very misleading.
We have become a politically correct country and we are apologizing for many things that should not be apologized for. In the meantime our enemies are plotting against us and we don’t even know it. I hope to God our leaders will wake up before it’s too late. The world is changing and this change is taking place in front of our very own eyes and we don’t even see it. I hope our leaders do.

OBAMA DOES EUROPE
THE G-20 SUMMIT
President Obama has gone overseas for the first time. He was welcomed as a rock star and a hero. He made speeches and people cheered, clapped and raved around him. Medvedev called him his new comrade.
Unfortunately Obama is naïve, inexperienced and pathetic. He is acting like a child and he believes that everyone likes him, listens to him and thinks like him. I warn him and the American people that he is letting his guard down…too much. He is like a flower child preaching love and peace, but unfortunately the world does not work that way.
There are evil people out there and there always will be. North Korea just fired a rocket over Japan. “President Barack Obama, faced with his first global security crisis, called for an international response and condemned North Korea for threatening the peace and stability of nations "near and far."
Do you think North Korea cares? Obama wants the UN to take action. The UN is a corrupt and spineless organization that can’t do anything. They are useless and will not accomplish anything at all. Just watch and see. Yes, they will have meetings and talk, and talk and talk, but will do nothing because they can't.
Let today be a warning that “YOU CANNOT TRUST THE RUSSIANS!!! , or the Chinese, or the North Koreans or Iran. Reagan was right about achieving peace through a demonstration of strength.
America is letting its guard down and the leadership in congress as well as the president is not taking our country in the direction that we need to go.
The next few months and early next year the premise that I am making here will become more and more obvious. Let’s just hope it’s not too late.
God Bless America!

STATE OF THE UNION
The speech was better than what Georg W. Bush ever gave except for the one he gave after 9/11. Barack Obama is a young, energetic and charismatic individual. I believe that what he said in his speech came from his heart and I support him 110%. I want him to succeed and save our country.
My concern is is that he is again promising too much that I honestly believe he can't deliver. He wants to cure cancer in our lifetime, wants to increase the number of soldiers, promises universal health care, promises universal education through college and will bailout the banks.
It all sounds good, but he does not say how he is going to do all these things. I was very disappointed that he did not get into the illegal immigrant issue which needs to be addressed but overall his speech was uplifting and motivating.
The thing that bothered me the most about the speech was having to watch Biden and Pelosi sitting behind him. Those two individuals cause me concern but more on them later.
Bottom line is, the president gave a good speech and I support him as I hope everyone else does. I thought the Republican rebuttal was weak and I was not interested in hearing political propaganda.
I agree that we need to stick together and all work on solving the nation’s problems as a solidified nation.
Let’s give him a chance and see what happens in the coming months.

WHAT IS THIS GUY THINKING?
I keep getting interesting emails from all over the country and when I received this one I knew then and there that I had to post it.
What is this guy thinking?
The contents of the email:
“President Barack Obama has signed an executive order presidential determination allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to resettle in the United States. Sure, what can go wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have been, as Mark Steyn memorably described, "marinated" in a "sick death cult," who voted for Hamas, and 55% of whom support suicide bombings live here and at the American taxpayers' expense:
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.
The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on the 4th February.
President Obama's decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by "the urgent refugee and migration needs" of the "victims."
Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks ago:
* His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
* His first one-on-one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
* He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
* He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
* He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11.
* Today we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands
of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.”
Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

As we live out the days before the “Stimulus Package” gets put into action there are so many other concerns that we as Americans need to think about.
The fact is, we live in a dangerous world. At home the politicians are playing games with us and our money, while many people in the world outside our borders wants to kill us.
Take a look at this video that anyone can find on YouTube:
http://www.warroom.com/
After watching it this is what a good friend of mine wrote me.
“Truly this is what is putting fear in the hearts and minds of people. It can be the destruction of what we call civilized.
I wonder if Mohammad is rolling in his grave site, knowing what his doctrines have become or was this the reality of his work?
It is better to know where the dragon of hate and evil is, than to live blindly unaware of its presence.
It keeps us armed against the intrusion if we keep a keen eye of discernment, to take proper action for or against such radical invasions.
Are we wise enough to be informed to take proper action? As I said we could be on the brink of the collapse of civilized society. We live blindly to the creeping dragons of lustful hate.
It is a dangerous world.”
I have been deployed overseas as a contractor with the US military since 1996 and I can honestly tell you from my experiences that it “truly is a dangerous world.”

IT'S A CIRCUS: DASCHLE OUT
Well at least he had the sense to resign. As much as I want Obama to succeed I’m a little concerned that he is starting off on the wrong foot. For someone who promised so much change, which we so much need, I have seen little so far.
Instead of taking action on the economy where change is really needed, we are stuck playing musical chairs with politicians who it turns out are tax evaders and crooked as ever.
My question to the American people is this; how can we get rid of them all and start all over again? Things can’t get much worse than they already are. When is a politician going to have the courage to say that we need term limits?
Without term limits, we will always have the crooks like we now have who get entrenched in the system and get fat and comfortable. A bunch of millionaires who are only looking out for their own interests.
Now that Daschle has backed out, he can go back to providing advice to health insurers and hospitals through his law firm, and continue the use of his limousine and make millions. He really won’t lose any money. He’ll just hide below the radar screen and get richer. Not bad for a tax evader.
This my friend really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Just imagine what would happen to you and me if we did not pay over $100,000.00 in taxes. I’m scared to even think about it.

PROFILE IN INCOMPETENCE
The Worst President in American History
Jimmy Carter became our 39th president at the young age of 52. He was a one-term governor from Plains, GA, where he managed the family peanut farm and taught Sunday school. He was also a graduate of the
He came to power in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the resignation of President Nixon. The public wanted change and someone new, and Carter was an ambitious, hands-on politician who promised better days. As good as his intentions were, however, the things he tried were not successful. In fact, he created far more serious problems than he ever solved.
The centerpiece of Carter's foreign policy was human rights, and he did achieve one noble success -a peace treaty between
Unfortunately, that later led to Sadat's assassination at the hands of Muslim radicals.
Many people felt Carter was a good man who worked hard and meant well. But he was naive and incompetent in handling the enormous burdens and complex challenges of being president.
He wrongly believed Americans had an 'inordinate fear of communism,' so he lifted travel bans to
His most damaging miscalculation was the withdrawal of
Having lost
The Ayatollah then introduced the idea of suicide bombers to the Palestine Liberation Organization, paying $35,000 to PLO families whose young people were brainwashed to kill as many Israelis as possible by blowing themselves up in crowded shopping areas.
Next, the Ayatollah used
In November 1979, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranians stormed the
So, due to overconfidence, inexperience and poor judgment, Carter undermined and lost a strong ally,
But that's not all. After Carter met for the first time with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, the
The invasion attracted a 23-year-old Saudi named Osama bin Laden to
On Carter's watch, the Soviet Union went on an unrestrained rampage in which it took over not only
In spite of this, Carter's last defense budget proposed spending 45% below pre-Vietnam levels for fighter aircraft, 75% for ships, 83% for attack submarines and 90% for helicopters.
Years later, as a civilian, Carter negotiated a peace agreement with
Thus did Carter unwittingly become our Neville Chamberlain, creating with his well-intended but inept, unrealistic and gullible actions the very conditions that led to the three most dangerous security threats we face today:
On the domestic side, Carter gave us inflation of 15%, the highest in 34 years; interest rates of 21%, the highest in 115 years; and a severe energy crisis with lines around the block at gas stations nationwide.
In 1977, Carter, along with a Democrat Congress, created a worthy project with noble intentions—the Community Reinvestment Act. Over strong industry objections, it mandated that all banks meet the credit needs of their entire communities.
In 1995, President Clinton imposed even stronger regulations and performance tests that coerced banks to substantially increase loans to low-income, poverty-area borrowers or face fines or possible restrictions on expansion. These revisions allowed for securitization of CRA loans containing subprime mortgages.
By 1997, good loans were bundled with poor ones and sold as prime packages to institutions here and abroad. That shifted risk from the loan originators, freeing banks to begin pyramiding and make more of these profitable subprime products.
Under two young, well-intended presidents, therefore, big-government plans and mandates played a significant role in the current subprime mortgage mess and its catastrophic consequences for the
Hardest-hit by the mortgage foreclosures have been the citizens that Democrats always claim to help most—inner-city residents who fell victim to low or no down payment schemes, unexpected adjustable rates, deceptive loan applications and commission-hungry salespeople.
Now we have to bail out at huge cost Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the very agencies that were supposed to stabilize the system. In time, this should improve the situation. But the party of Carter and Clinton that midwifed our mortgage mess now wants to be trusted to take over and have the government run our entire system of health care!
Don't forget his "incompetent" interventions in the elections of

DEMOCRATS LINE UP TO SUPPORT DASCHLE
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Four prominent Democratic Senators spoke out Saturday in support of former Sen. Tom Daschle, whose tax records have come under scrutiny as he pursues a Cabinet position in the administration of President Barack Obama.
Obama nominated the 61-year-old South Dakotan to be secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Senate Finance committee — which will vote on the nomination before the full Senate votes on whether to confirm him — is scheduled to meet Monday to discuss the nomination.
A committee memo obtained Friday by CNN indicates committee members want to discuss the use of a car and driver that Daschle didn't disclose on his income taxes, and nonpayment of taxes on more than $80,000 he earned in consulting fees after leaving the Senate.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, the senior member of the finance committee, released a statement Saturday saying, "Months ago, Tom personally and proactively addressed the taxes issue and took all necessary steps to correct his innocent error.
I guess this is the change that we have to get used to. All those innocent tax errors that politicians commit are easily forgiven.
What the fuck???

MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION
It boggles my mind how powerful email is and how fast information is transfered on the Internet. I am also amazed at how ignorant our politicians in
In our capitalistic society everything is about money and the politicians are of course stuffing their pockets. That’s what really matters the most.
In the meantime the country is being infiltrated by the enemy.
Attached is a briefing on how radical Muslims are organized among American academic institutions. Our petro dollars at work....against us.
It is most important for administrators in higher education to ascertain all the funding sources for the Muslim Student Association(MSA) on their campuses. Equally important, the MSA meetings should be monitored. I hope the government is looking into this…don’t you

ARE TAX ISSUES A MINOR CONCERN?
He’s only been president for two days but he has already made some major changes.
He is planning on closing Guantanamo in order to uphold human rights and states that torture is illegal. My question is; do our enemies feel the same way? Of course not! This is another example of dumb American political correctness that will do us more harm than good.
Tim Geithner is going to be the next secretary of the treasury yet he admits to not paying his taxes for ten years. I mean give me a break. If the average American did that he would be fined and possibly sent to jail.
And the latest is Caroline Kennedy. At this time I don’t know exactly why she backed out of the senate seat to replace Hillary Clinton but the rumor is tax issues and a nanny problem. Talk about hypocrisy. She is supposedly worth over 100 million dollars and she has a tax issues.
We are in for an exciting four years my friend?

AN EDITORIAL FROM THE LONDON DAILY MAIL
The Daily Mail (UK National Paper) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009. (For confirmation, Google "London Daily Mail Obama's Victory")
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.
A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.
Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
Congratulations America

THE EMAIL I WAS REFERRING TO
Subject: Mr. Aviv
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ' Munich ' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard--she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games. (Aviv's bio is noted at end.)
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. But, unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Now for his future predictions: He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke--that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective. For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked! Every strategy we have is 'reactionary.'
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they go to the restroom, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. ( i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as rural America this time (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts.
The world is quickly going to become 'a different place,' and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny.'
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown' - having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U. S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will, inevitably, face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact - SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel's, Ireland's and England's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to trust aware' citizens to help.
We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies.' Our government thinks we 'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag.' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves. But, unfortunately, America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel.
Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off Everyone’s ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated. How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak? You need to have a plan.

Subject: Mr. Aviv
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ' Munich ' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard--she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games. (Aviv's bio is noted at end.)
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. But, unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Now for his future predictions: He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke--that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective. For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked! Every strategy we have is 'reactionary.'
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they go to the restroom, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. ( i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as rural America this time (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts.
The world is quickly going to become 'a different place,' and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny.'
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown' - having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U. S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East.

CHANGE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
As you start reading this Blog I want to be the first to admit to you that I am not a writer. I have written some articles in the past, in fact I have even published a few books but mostly directories.
You are not going to find literary excellence in this Blog. What you will find is the opinion of someone who has experienced many of the things that he will be writing about.
You will get the opinion of someone who has been around a little bit more than the average American but most importantly what I write will be the TRUTH.
By that I mean I have spent some time outside the
I have been thinking about starting a Blog about the topic that I am going to cover here today for quite some time, but I have been putting it off and putting it off until today.
This morning there was a message in my email and once I read it, I knew then and there that the time has come for me to speak up.
Tomorrow is a very special day in American history. Barack Obama will become the next president of the
One of the main reasons that he won’t be able to keep many of his promises is because we do not have enough money. That is the bottom line.
Now mind you, I’m not saying that our situation is impossible, but what I am saying is that we are in deep shit.
Not only is Obama going to have to deal with the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Gaza, the Russians, the North Koreans, the Chinese as well as the economy, but he will also have to deal with our corrupt money grubbing congress.
Honestly I did not vote for Obama but I did read his two books and I sincerely believe that his heart is in the right place. Now that he has won, I am 100% behind him. He is our Commander in Chief and I believe that he will do what is best for the country. In fact I will even say that the best man won because I honestly don’t think that his opponent could do any better.
President Elect Obama is a very intelligent person and he has surrounded himself with lots of other intelligent people, but unfortunately in my humble opinion I believe that he has also surrounded himself with lots of politicians from the old guard that I do not trust. They are some of the corrupt power hungry politicians who have their own agenda that is not always in the best interest of
I hope that my opinion turns out to be wrong and President Obama will bring the change to
In the meantime, let me share with you the email that I received this morning and let me just say “GOD BLESS AMERICA”
