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!
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 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. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

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.

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.
