It Just will Not Die.........Why? Could it be?

Are you kidding me, this birth certificate issue is not going to die, it's not going to go away. The only way this fire is going to be put out, someone, a DOCUMENT EXPERT,  (FBI lab) is going to have to testify before Congress that the document presented by Obama is a fake. If that does not happen, the fire burns on. Obama calls it  "A Carnival Barker", [referring to Trump] the American people want the truth. At this point, I don't know the truth. I see what everyone else sees. The document that Obama purports as his birth certificate, past that, who knows what the truth is. It is time to put up, or shut up. Donald Trump  is the one who has pushed the button. This has to get solved, we as a country have other fish to fry, our economy.  Do I believe that the document presented by Obama is real? I have some serious questions. Why did he let this drag on? Why did he wait until Trump pushed the issue, why did Obama not present this from the very beginning? Why does he not have an original one, I have mine, with the embedded seal and all, it is 59 years old, yellow and faded, but I have it. President Obama calls this a distraction, well the President created this distraction by not answering the question from the get go.  Well Mr. President,  this is your WMD nightmare. Are you going to survive the barrage of questions and scrutiny that are sure to arise from the disclosure of your birth certificate. I hope it is a true and correct representation of your BC, if not and it is proved a fake, you will have pulled off the greatest scam in the history of this country.  Well it is time to pay the fiddler, get on with this and lets get it over with. Here is another good post on the birth certificate, These people are evil. It is a blog that I think you will enjoy reading. Check it out.

Obama's New Pastor....Same Old Tune...America is Racist

Why is it that President Obama's choice of churches appear to be ones that spread the word of racism and hatred instead of spreading the word of God?  I am very puzzled. Remember Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sound bite, "God Damn America".  Those words are still vivid in my mind.  Now Obama, which of course is entitled to select a church or pastor of his choice. So Obama selects  Pastor Dr. Wallace Charles Smith of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington D.C. and attended his service on Easter Sunday.  This just might explain some of the unanswered question about Obama and Rev Wright doesn’t it? 


James Parker at WRNO-FM in New Orleans did some digging yesterday about Shiloh Baptist’s pastor, Dr. Wallace Charles Smith  not only did he find that Smith loves to preach on race, but he noticed Smith even infused race into yesterday’s Easter sermon: One has to dig into the blog notes from various reporters to piece together the content from the sermon. Aside from the First Couple being honored guests, Pastor Wallace Charles Smith also announces that his 4 week old grandson is attending church for the first time, and a pool reporter noted an interesting perspective on the infant: “[Pastor Smith] talked about how his baby grandson’s gurgling is actually “talking” because he is saying ‘I am here … they tried to write me off as 3/5 a person in the Constitution, but I am here right now … and is saying I am not going to let anybody from stopping me from being what God wants me to be.’”
Parker asks the obvious questions:

The pastor hears American institutional racism in a baby’s gurgle? Do most people with infants hear Constitutional bigotry in their baby’s gibberish? Did any mention of the 3/5 clause or racism in general make it into the Easter service you attended? Is this pastor’s amazing leap from a baby bark to white oppression another coincidence to add to the list, or has he established a pattern of race baiting and white bashing in the past? The answer, Parker says, is easily found in a quick YouTube search. During a speech last year at Eastern University, Smith rejected the idea that America is moving past race. In fact, he said racism is alive and rampant in America, especially on the conservative airways. Not only did he insinuate that Fox News hosts are racist, but he also said Rush Limbaugh is a new breed of KKK member:  theblaze.com

You will have to make up your own minds on this issue. Instead of trying to bring this country together, Obama, by attending the Churches of some of the most controversial Pastors, is adding to the racial divide in this country. President Obama was not elected to Office by just the African vote, he was elected to office by white America, Hispanics, the Irish Americans and so on. Obama was elected by the class of people which make this nation what it is.....GREAT. It pains me to see how this is being played out.  As the President of the United States of America, common sense would tell you that steer clear of the controversial people. I guess Obama does not get the message.  He will get the message in 2012.

Legal Immigrants and Slaves...Compared to Illegals who Swim the River and Break The Law??

Had I not heard the statement by the President of the United States with my own ears, I would not have believed it.  He said in short,  that it makes no difference from where you come, be it as an immigrant who landed at Ellis Island [legally], or on a slave ship [forced], or if you came across the Rio Grande River [illegally],  you are welcomed in the United States of America.  Obama just informed the populace of Mexico and other countries to pack their bags and come on over; we will pay your bills, your rent, your education, your electrical bill, your grocery bill and your health coverage.  Obama was at a fund raiser in San Francisco when he made those comments today.  Come to Texas or Arizona and make those comments and see how well received the comments will be received.  You would rather make comments like that in a sanctuary city, like San Francisco, but not in the heart of say,  Arizona.  This was one of the most outrageous statements I have heard.  
If I was a African American, I would be angered to the 10th degree for my ancestors who may have been forced to cross the ocean in a slave ship to be compared to someone who broke the law by swimming the Rio Grande River and gaining entry to the United States illegally and obtaining benefits not entitled to them. Many illegals, not just Hispanics have stolen identities, social security numbers etc, and you compare them to people who entered this country legally.  If my ancestors are or were immigrants who legally entered the United States at Ellis Island were compared to someone who swam across the Rio Grande River and entered the States illegally, I would be angry. How can Obama make such an argument, it is disrespectful to the countless immigrants who arrived on our shores and obtained citizenship the legal way.  This is nothing more than pandering to the illegal immigrants,  and an attempt to appease our Hispanic population into voting for him. That statement would have been better served by stating we are a nation of multi-cultures who have come together through and by legal means, we want and encourage immigration, legal immigration. However our country is economically unable to sustain entitlement programs for illegal aliens and take care of our citizens at the same time. We welcome you to this country provided you meet all the legal immigration requirements. That is all that needed to be said and all that should have been said.


Until next time, May God Bless You and May God Bless America....

Presidential Easter Proclamation........Absent Again

Signal to Obama?
I hope that all of you had safe an uneventful Easter Holiday as we celebrated the most scared of days,  Easter Sunday.  Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross.  Also as part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus. With that said did you notice what was glaringly absent again, the Presidential Easter Proclamation.  Again I say because I believe the President has only issued but one Presidential Easter Proclamation since taking office.  However take a look at the proclamations Obama has issued, 
        1. Earth Day Proclamation

              2. Education and sharing Day

         3. National Equal Pay Day

        4. National Volunteer Day

5.  Cesar Chavez Day 

              6. Recognize Muslim Holidays

Why does Obama fail to recognize Easter year after year, but continues to recognize Muslim holidays and other events?  I do not know why,  many people say he is a closet Muslim, I do not know if he is a Muslim or not, Obama claims he is a Christian, again I do not know,  I have seen no proof.  I have my own beliefs on what he is. I do know he is not a leader and is a terrible President.  Add to the fact that he has spoken for each and everyone of the Christians in the United States in AnakaraTurkey just 2 two years ago by stating that even though the United States has many Christians, we do not consider ourselves a Christian Nation; he can speak for himself, this country was founded on Christian-Judeo values and as President of the United States, he should maintain those values and image as he jet sets around the world. Obama represents all Americans and should confine his statements and actions to our core beliefs and values and deliver religious proclamations based on our beliefs as a nation, and not his opinion on what he thinks we are or what he feels we should be.


The Easter proclamation matter must have struck a nerve,  as the Presidents mouth piece, Media Matters, the George Soros-funded group dedicated to advancing a leftist agenda by playing at media criticism took aim at Fox and Friends this morning by throwing bombs at Steve Doocy, Juliet Huddy and Brian Kilmeade.  However, just like Fox News, they have the right to say what they wish, as I do. That is what makes this country great. Do I agree with MM, not in the least, I just agree that they can say what they want.....but it did not take long for them to respond....They respond by calling a Dallas based Pastor, Robert Jefferss a bigot for suggesting that Obama is a Muslim. So Robert Jeffress is a bigot for saying what million of Americans THINK! So are all Americans bigots if they believe that Obama is may be a Muslim?  I guess then all of Americans, based on MM point of view are bigots. Those points of view have been fueled by Obama and his lack of demonstrating his own claim that he is a Christian.  Maybe had he demonstrated his Christian beliefs and values by attending church on a regular basis, issuing Easter proclamations maybe just maybe, this issue would have never appeared in the first place. Just a thought. However that fair and balance approach will not work for Media Matters.


However when you are funded by George Soros, you have to do what your daddy says and dance to the tune. If ole George were dumping millions of dollars at my door step, I might be dancing as well...

The Great Fib!!!

Now, under the disguise of the deficit reduction, Obama has launched a new chorus of outright lies against the necessary spending cuts, including many small businesses and investors with incomes above $200,000.   He taints these job creators as the selfish rich  who wants to take away health insurance for the  poor children, the disabled children and the autistic children, what a lie. 
Here is a comment made by  the anointed one,  he told a group of community college students last Tuesday the following;
“We can’t just tell the wealthiest among us, you don’t have to do a thing. Especially when we know that the only way to pay for (extending) these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans is by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more for their health care, or cutting children out of Head Start, or doing away with health insurance for millions of Americans on Medicaid........ seniors in nursing homes, and/or poor children, or middle-class families who may have a disabled child, or an autistic child.  In reality,  the above comments should be extremely offensive to most Americans.  I firmly believe Obama believes that core group of Americans are too stupid to know any different.  These are not only lies, but Obama is using these lies to smear and demonize Americans who disagree with him.The worse part,  Obama’s using our society’s most vulnerable members as the pawns for his radical agenda,  and it is a measuring stick for just how really desperate Obama's  liberal cronies have become. This is a very good indicator on how Obama will do anything to STOP the right  from repealing Obamacare and some of his other far left policies. This is the type of politics that will be on the forefront of Obama's campaign, demonize the right and lie about health care. It is politics as usual, on both sides. When is it going to stop, when will Congress and this President figure it out, they need to do what is right for the American people, not who passes what. However I feel this may never happen...we have very little time to waste before we lose our country....


Until next time....take care and God Bless You and God Bless America.....

Obama Is 41% and Dropping!!!

A recent Gallup poll indicated the president's approval rating has tanked at 41 percent and dropping, which is a tie for the lowest poll rating of his administration and down from 49 percent when he announced his campaign.  A new poll from the Washington Post/ABC News shows that 58 percent of Americans disapprove of Obama’s approach to curbing the government’s exploding debt burden. Republicans don’t fare any better on this front, either, with 64 percent disapproval of their approach.  These numbers are indicative of the American peoples frustration with "POLITICIANS".  I will tell you what I hear.  I hear citizens talking daily of this great nation collapses under the weight of the tremendous debt, and that nothing constructive is done by Washington to fix the problem. All you are hearing out of Washington is name calling and whining. You hear the President of the United States giving speeches with very little or no substance. Obama treats the American people as if they are stupid, and do not know the issues. It is a shame that Washington is doing very little except argue in the face of this economic melt down.  Washington must set aside the differences now and save this country from economic ruin, some how some way it must be done.  Instead of whining and complaining come together and come up with the solutions. You know what they are,.....it is the complete reform of the entitlement programs, and deep spending cuts. The Chinese are just sitting on the sidelines, patiently waiting for the collapse of the greatest country the world has ever known.  What these politicians are doing is criminal. It seems either the democrats or the republicans wants the bragging rights of who gets the most and putting on how to pay for it on the back burner. Now enter the highest gasoline prices this country has ever seen in years, yet nothing is being done to lower them. Obama is out on the campaign trail hugging and kissing babies and making lame promises on how he will fix it all, while still spending more and requesting more taxes increases. Gas prices are hitting over $5.00 a gallons in some areas of the country. What does Obama say, buy electric cars............yes buy electric please. He is now attempting to force us into buying what he wants, not what you want. That is why Obama is not doing one single thing to get gas prices lowered. Instead he gives 2 billion dollars to Brazil for drilling and another 2.8 billion to Columbia to build refineries.........and America gets what? America gets what he first promised, CHANGE AND HOPE, Obama did not lie, he delivered, Obama delivered, 5 dollar gasoline, higher food prices, inflation, a health plan we can not afford and the COLLAPSE the United States of America which is coming soon. He has done this in just 2.5 years.   

We have the answer, and the answer is in 2012, this is our HOPE AND CHANGE, the removal of all who sat on their thumbs and did nothing while our country sank into a pit of hopelessness.


Until next time.............May God Bless You and May God Bless America...

Columbia Now Gets 2.8 Billion Buckaroos!!

Here  we go again, the last time money was given to Brazil, to the tune of over 2 billion dollars. Now it has been learned that another chunk will be given to Columbia for building a refinery. How many oil refineries do you think we could build right here in the United States of America with a $2.84 Billion dollar loan? The real truth is we will never know because Barack is anti-American oil and is all for and is all in for foreign oil.  If you remember just last month he told Brazil he wanted the U.S. to be a major customer of their oil and now he is loaning Columbia $2.84 Billion taxpayer dollars. Those newly created jobs and oil-based products should be happening here, not in Columbia.The U.S. Export-Import Bank, an independent agency of the federal government, is now planning a $2.84-billion loan for a massive project to expand and upgrade an oil refinery–in Cartagena, Colombia. Before you get your nose out of whack and say the it a private loan let me remind you that is nor true...the board of the U.S. Import-Export bank’s board is " appointed by the president." That is fact.  The money from the loan will go to Reficar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil company. According to the information. the 2.84 billion is part of a $5.18 billion refinery and upgrade project in Cartagena, Columbia. If Obama would apply that much effort to drilling in the United States, and to build new refinery's in the United States, it might go a long way into reducing oil prices. However we can all see what his plan is....Pro-foreign oil, and very very Anti-American, the proof is in the pudding. To be honest with you, I do not like the flavor he is serving...

Do you have an extra trillion

This coming May, the United States Congress will begin the discussion into our country's debt limit. A discussion which can not be avoided any longer. The debt limit is a warning system which is built into our nation’s laws. What this does is force the members of Congress to address the out-of-control spending when our national debt reaches a certain level. Congress has chosen to ignore this built in oversight warning at least four times in the past five years. This time, the warning can not be over looked.  In my opinion it would be completely reckless for Congress to consider raising the debt limit without making some type of deep spending cuts and reform. Our nation’s credit worthiness is directly tied to our fiscal responsibility, and not to our desire to borrow more money from China and other countries. America could send a strong message to global financial markets by making reasonable and prudent steps to address our spending habits, and not by raising the debt limit. Currently our debt stands at 14.3 trillion and growing,  President Obama has proposed in his 2012 budget proposal to add about $9 trillion to the debt over the next ten years, yes 9 trillion dollars, with no idea how to pay for it. Comments made by Obama today reflects his desire to increase spending in education. Obama also indicated he will increase spending in the country's infrastructure. Which is all well and good, however how is he planning to pay for all of this additional spending.  This President has demonstrated he is not committed to addressing or reducing our national debt and seems content to bring financial ruin to the United States of America.  With that said,  it is no wonder the Republicans in Congress today are saying the Standard & Poor's warning that it could eventually lower its rating on U.S. debt proves that President Obama should take up their recommendations for deficit reduction. The indication however from Obama is "Status Quo", just keep spending. What about our AAA credit rating? "According to the credit rating agency yesterday maintained the U.S. government's AAA credit rating but said that concerns over "very large budget deficits and rising government indebtedness"  led the agency to lower its outlook on the long-term rating to "negative." If the S&P chose to downgrade the U.S. rating in the future, the government would have to pay more interest to borrow money by issuing debt in public markets, isn't that special. What is it going to take for Congress to understand that deep cuts are necessary, they have to understand that the American people do understand and are willing to adjust the necessary cuts and reforms which have to be made. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are the ones that do not understand..again they are in it for themselves and not for the American people and certainly not for the United States, but that is my opinion.

Until next time,  God Bless You and God Bless America.....

Obama Administration Transparent? I Think Not

What is the definition of Transparent? Let's take a gander;  as an adjective it could mean the following-"easily understood or seen through (because of lack of subtlety).. or as Obama wants you to believe-"free of deceit."   Do you remember when Obama said that his administration would be the most transparent administration in history?  I do. Again Obama has been fibbing to the American people. Obama has been holding back "tens of thousands" of visitor logs, according to congressional testimony last week by Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, who also added that "the Obama administration is less transparent than the Bush administration."  This is not surprising to me at all. Who is running this country, we may never know, you can bet one thing, the union bosses will be identified as some of the unlogged late night visitors to visit Obama.  Many secret meetings have been taken place away from the White House where there are no visitor logs to worry about. We need to worry who this man is meeting with in the middle of the night. Some of the articles I have read indicate that the administration meets with K Street lobbyists at Caribou Coffee, and may also be holding secret meetings in the Jackson Place townhouses. Hummmm I wonder why. I am very anxious to see who else pops up as unlogged visitors. We can all guess why this President is not transparent;  he has a totally different agenda for America than what he is telling the American public, he is taken this country down a road of no return in just 3 short years, reelect him and Obama will finish us off.  We as Americans need to wise up.  He talks out of both sides of his face and enough is enough.

With the national debt totally out of control we are just a brief few years away from one day waking up and finding out that greatest country on the planet has vaporized into thin air and has turned into a third world country..............We have reached a junction, tremendous cuts have to be made, unprecedented historical cuts have to be made in order to turn things around; but who do you trust, a man in the White House who is sneaking around having private meetings with unknown people in the middle of the night who do not have our nations best interest heart??  Not me.

Until next time.....God Bless You and May God Bless America.....

The TSA - The Dummies in the Blue Shirt!

I will be the first to tell you, "I understand the need for airline security, in this day and age, it just has to be. Now here comes what I feel is the negative. First, TSA agents are not trained law enforcement officers or agents, they do not have arrest powers. They do not receive any high level training, the training and experience which is needed to locate and identify a terrorist. The TSA is way off base, I have said this before and I will say this again, we need retired military and law enforcement personnel who have had the training in profiling PEOPLE, not races. You have to have a knowledge of who is a TERRORIST. Take lessons from Israel. Here is how Israel does it....The first layer of actual security that greets travellers at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport is a roadside check. All drivers are stopped and asked just two questions: 1. How are you? 2. Where are you coming from?   The questions aren’t important. It is how people act and respond when they answer them is.  Officers are looking for patterns of nervous behavior or other signs of “distress” — behavioral profiling, not racial profiling that people get upset about.  I will argue the point that behavioral profiling is discriminatory, it is not at all…Once you’ve parked your car or gotten off your bus, you pass through the second and third security perimeters. Armed guards outside the terminal are trained to observe passengers as they move toward the doors, again looking for odd behavior. At Israel's Ben Gurion airport's half-dozen entrances, another layer of security are at work watching. At this point, some travellers will be randomly taken aside, and their person and their luggage run through a magnometer.    Once you are in the in the terminal, as you approach your airline check-in desk, a trained interviewer takes your passport and ticket. You will be asked a series of simple questions: Who packed your luggage? Has it left your side? These questions are commonly asked here in the U.S. as well. During this process, the interviewers are looking into your eyes .... which might be embarrassing for some, but this is one of the ways they figure out if you are suspicious or not. This only takes a few seconds at the most. The next thing  while you are at the check-in desk, your luggage will be scanned immediately in a purpose-built area. Why? What if you have escaped the attention of the first four layers of security, and now try to pass a bag with a bomb in it? …you get busted at the counter.  That makes so far 5 layers of security you must pass through to board the plane, BUT.....there is one more,   “First, it’s fast — there’s almost no line. That’s because they’re not looking for any liquids, they’re not looking at your shoes they are not looking in your underwear and certainly not searching 6 year old little girls.  They’re not looking for everything that TSA looks for in  America. They just look at you,  even today with all the heightened security we have in America, TSA will check your items to death. however, they will never ever look you in the eyes, or how you behave. Looking into someones eyes will help you figure out who the bad guy is. But TSA will never look you in the eyes. They want to grope you and get into your JUNK and search little kids. This goes to show you how off base TSA is in airport security.  My friends that’s the complete security process......  six layers of security, four hard, two soft. The maxium time from the parking lot to the gate, is approximately 30 minutes, more or less. TSA takes about 2 hours, more or less. Israel takes a realistic look at airport security......America takes a political correct approach in the sense "PROFILING" is wrong; and it is the complete opposite. We have spent billions on Airport Security, but overlooked the obvious, we need to reform our National Airport Security Measures remove the current TSA Director John Pistol and replace him with a retired military General or Colonel to direct this effort.   

In closing, there are so many things that we the people have to do to regain control of our precious Country, which has been soiled by greedy corrupt politicians. We need to take a serious look at our congress and replace them with responsible every day plain people who have no interest other than fixing America. people like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and all the self serving corrupt representatives must go, they have ruined the most powerful country in the world. It is time we take our country back.

Nothing New....Tax More....Spend More......Borrow More.....


I just finished listening to Obama's deficit reduction plan, here it is ...Spend More, Tax More, Tax the Rich More, Regulate More and Borrow More from China, oh and spread the wealth.  As Obama said, we have to use a "scalpel" and not a machete to trim the deficit...use a big ole CHAIN SAW and lop off what we can live without and reform social security and medicare and medicade, the heck with using a scalpel.  I know I am not very eloquent when I write, that is because I am not a professional writer. However, I am one of you, just a plain ordinary person (retired Police Officer) who happens to care about my country and the direction our country is headed under this President.  So please excuse my writing style. My friend and professional writer, Alan Caruba (Warning Points) told me it is what is in your heart that matters, and that what you say is true.  Well, in my heart I can say is our country is in DEEP DEEP TROUBLE and something drastic has to be done sooner than later. I seem to worry more daily than I ever have, I am afraid of what is going to be left for my son and his family, and for your family,  and if things do not change, neither he or my grandchildren or your family will have anything to look forward to in the future.

I listened to the Obama speech. Unlike Joe Biden, who fell asleep during the speech. What I took away from Obama's disingenuous speech was he is officially announcing that he is running for President and is in the campaign mode. The other thing I noticed is he still is failing to take responsibility for any of his failed policies. He is still blaming President Bush for the troubles of today. I am not condoning the Bushes mistakes, but Obama is not manning up to his mistakes. Not mentioning of course that since he took office, he has added approximately $34 billion dollars a day to the deficit. Obama has borrowed more money and added more to the deficit quicker than any President in history of this nation. President Obama outlined his new spending plan Wednesday which he claimed would cut the deficit by $4 trillion within 12 years with a combination of spending cuts and tax increases on the families making more than $250,000  I tell you one thing, I pay my fair share of taxes, up and over than what I paid in though out the year. I am now self employed and I am going to be punished even more by additional taxes or if I make $250 grand. Where is the incentive to expand, what is the incentive to create jobs. None that I see. I would love to see how much Obama has NOT paid in taxes. However, just like his birth certificate, we will not see that either. 
What is amazing about Obama screaming tax the rich they can afford it, if that is the case, what is up with Obamas great BFF, Jeffery Immelt, the CEO of "GE".  Mr. Immelt has been pounced on since the New York Times reported last week that GE paid no federal income taxes in 2010 despite reporting about $5.1 billion in profits from U.S. operations and more than $14 billion world-wide, and rightfully so.  In fact, the Times reported, the company claimed a $3.2 billion benefit. So what Obama is saying, I want to tax the very rich and the fairly rich, but when it comes to my BFF,  it is OK that the Immelt and the Immelts of the world do not pay one single penny in taxes....this is what is called the the "Old Potomac Two Step" Obama has learned to dance very well.  Obama's so called deficit reduction plan also calls for a "fail safe" trigger, which would apply across-the-board spending cuts if the national debt, as a percentage of GDP, is not on the decline by 2014. He forecast $770 billion in savings over the next 12 years through non-security discretionary cuts, and another $400 billion in that time frame from the defense budget. 

So in closing, what I can say, is that if SOMEONE needs to step up and take a leadership role, from whatever party because it is apparent that Obama does not have the experience to get us out of the mess he has created. Coupled with the Bush issues, Obama has just kept piling on the debt and has continued spending.  Major cuts have to be made now in order to save our nation... So someone pick up the ball,  and as the great 21st philosopher, Larry the Cable Guy would say,  would say..........."GET ' ER DONE!!"


Until next time...........God Bless You and May God Bless America.........................

Shame on NASA....Houston Has a Problem..

Since the beginning of the space program, Houston and the Johnson Space center have been involved in the progression and growth of NASA. However when the Shuttles are retired, Houston is not given a Shuttle for display. The decision makers felt they were better served giving one to L.A.  I just can not believe NASA would disrespect and snub the families of the astronauts who were killed in the two shuttle accidents, but they did. It is apparent that NASA caved in to political pressure, and that is disgusting. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, Houston, Texas has been the backbone of the space program. Remember the phrase that is etched into all of our minds. "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM". Not Washington we have a problem, not California we have a problem, but HOUSTON, we have a problem.  It was Houston and the men and women who played a major role in getting our Apollo "13" astronauts back from their failed trip to the moon. I do not know what the decision makers were smoking when they made their decision on who would receive one of the "3" remaining shuttles, but it sure altered their thinking. In my opinion, The Shuttles should have gone to,

1. Houston Space Center - Atlantis
2. The Smithsonian - Discovery
3.Dayton, Ohio - Enterprise
4.The Cape - Endeavor

Houston was not the only snub, what about the birth place of flight? A shuttle should have been place at Dayton Ohio the home the National Museum of the United States Air Force, which happens to be 5 miles from Kitty Hawk, humm, but that makes sense.  What was NASA thinking..I have no idea, whatever it is they need to clear their minds, and have a DO-OVER. Below is a the consolation prize that awaits Houston, as reported by Eric Berger.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7519059.html

NASA also announced Tuesday the locations that will receive various shuttle simulators and trainers, and Space Center Houston was not among them. The city's consolation prize will be, instead, pilot and commanders' shuttle seats that have flown on orbit. Space Center Houston officials expressed hope that they may still be able to claim remnants of the Columbia orbiter, which disintegrated above Texas in 2003 during its return to Earth. Those pieces, in a large warehouse, could provide a fitting tribute to NASA's astronauts.
It's a plan supported by several family members of the Columbia and Challenger tragedies who wanted one of the retiring orbiters displayed in Houston. "We are heartbroken to learn of the decision that the space shuttle will not be allowed to return home to Houston," said Evelyn Husband Thompson, Jonathan Clark, Sandy Anderson, Lorna Onizuka and Cheryl McNair, in a joint statement. "Home is where the heart is, and Houston has served as the heart of the space shuttle program since its inception nearly four decades ago. All the astronauts lost were Houston residents. We again share a collective loss as a result of the political decision to send the space shuttle elsewhere."
Washington Bureau reporter Stewart Powell contributed to this report.

As a Texan, I have made countless trips to the Johnson space City, and have had a couple of behind the scene tours. It is a wonderful place to visit with countless historical items to visit with so many ties to the shuttle program. one of the shuttles belong here, not in L.A., not in Washington, but here in Houston, Texas. It is not a decision of dollars, but of respect to the families and the employees that made the shuttle program work. Without Houston, you have no shuttle program.  There was no doubt in my mind that Houston was going to receive on of the 3 remaining shuttles or at the least "Endeavor" the first prototype. I had no doubt what so-ever.  So, thank you NASA for thanking the City of Houston, the men and women of the Space program that have dedicated their lives to the space program and most of all, thank you for all of the respect you gave to the families of the deceased Astronauts of the Challenger and Columbia, it is apparent that they must have been on your mind when the decision was made to award the shuttles. If I had a say in all of this, I would say the following....................."Hitch up a trailer to your truck and come pick up all of your stuff that has anything to do with your space program...You have kicked us in the butt for the last time.


Until the next time....May God Bless You and God Bless America...

Border Violence Increases & Illegal Immigration Soaring

I want to apologize in advance for some of the gruesome pictures I have displayed. I feel it is the only way to show you how bad the situation is just south of our border, not more than 30 miles from the United States. We have to make people understand exactly what our law enforcement community will be up against should the violence spill over to U.S.

The border violence in Mexico is on the increase. Since early April, 88 bodies have been discovered in a mass grave on a ranch in northern Mexico. The graves were found in the same municipality where 72 illegal migrants from Central and South America were massacred in August 2010 after being kidnapped as they transited Mexico. One U.S. citizen has also been reported missing in the same area. What is puzzling, Janet Napolitano keeps saying that our Borders are safe. In my opinion, it is just a matter of time before the border explodes into violence on the scale of what is happening on the Mexican side. Just read the cards. The cartels are fearless and will stop at nothing to get their drugs into the United States. If Napolitano believes for a moment that these guys will not challenge our law enforcement she is wrong. However Napolitano knows this already,  how can she explain off the deaths of our brave Border Patrol Agents, as a random acts of violence? Sorry, that dog does not hunt. There have been countless incursions of the Mexican Military into the United States and still the nothing is done to secure the borders. Some of the Military works with the cartel very little about this is reported however. I go back to the statement that Obama made, "That United States can absorb another 9/11 attack". Really? What will the victims of 9/11 say about this. I wonder. Where do you think the Mexican cartels are learning their terror tactics, learning how to detonate car bombs? Just think about it that for a minute. I have had multiple sources from Mexico tell me that there have been Hamas factions giving the cartel terror lessons. Is it true, I have no idea, is it possible, absolutely possible. I have never seen so much violence in Mexico, not on this scale. Is it ever going to improve? Not anytime soon. Unless the Mexican government backs off and gives in to the cartel demands.
Cartel Soldier
I am very doubtful the Mexican government will give in anytime soon. President Calderon has played his hand when he went on the offensive against the cartels shortly after he took office in 2006.  However Calderon has gained very little ground against the cartels. Evidenced by the local passengers who have been abducted from busses between March 24 and March 29, this added to the latest string of violence in Mexico' s war against the drug cartels which alone in the state of Tamaulipas has led to the killing of 160 people in the last month. 160 people killed in one month alone, and the Obama administration believes that the violence will not spill over to the United States. I hope they are right, however I believe it is just a matter of time until violence spills over.  Sources I have talked with on the United States side agree. What about the David Hartley case, nothing really major has developed since
Mexican Soldier
Hartley was shot off of his jet ski by Zeta cartel members in Southern Texas as Hartley and his wife were exploring a church on the Mexican side of Falcon lake. Mexico has indicated some arrests were made and that is the truth, but the arrest were nothing more non-significant cartel "gophers" who were just "give-ups," appeasement arrests for a lack of a better word. Who knows how this is going to play out. Does the United States get involved. I hope that they would put the pressure on Mexico, the Hartley family deserves it. With that said, Mexico has shown no ability to be able to gain an advantage against the cartels. Since President Felipe Calderon's crackdown on drug cartels and organized crime in 2006, the violence has claimed more than 36,000 lives, an average of about 9,000 victims per year  Whatever the numbers are, it is unacceptable. With all the death and violence on both sides of the border their appears that there are no viable solutions on the horizon. "In spite of an effort to do more, there does not appear to be a plan in place that actually accomplishes the objectives of a secure border," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a recent speech to the U.S.-Mexico Congressional Border Issues Conference. One of the major reasons we have to accept as a nation is the the huge drug consumption. An issue which has seen billions of  tax dollars dumped into rehab programs which for the most part has failed.  Most of the government planning is focused on the busy Arizona-Mexico border. We need a plan for the entire border, from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific in order to have a chance. However this is my opinion, and it may not be worth much.  
Another issue that we will have to take into consideration with the Drug War/Border Violence is the fear of what could be unleashed next from Mexican President Felipe Calderon's four-year-old war against the drug cartels has border-state officials very nervous. So far, as i indicated above about 36,000 people have been killed, including several Americans. A recent report suggested about a quarter-million Mexicans have been displaced from their homes and about a quarter of those have come to the United States. Most are Mexicans, however some are O.T.M.'s  (Other than Mexican.) This could include, people of middle eastern decent, Brazilians, Chinese etc. You get the picture. We revert right back to the original problem........."The Borders Are Not Secured"   Here is an interesting comment made by  Bradley Schreiber, a former Homeland Security senior adviser and current vice president for the Applied Science Foundation for Homeland Security, " Schreiber said the government has employed a piecemeal strategy using technology or personnel.  But so far, the government hasn't developed a solid way to measure the threat and therefore can't know for sure if it is really responding to it in the best way.  "We don't know what the threat is because we haven't done a thorough assessment," Schreiber said. "We don't know what's coming across, and we don't have a strategy to address it."  What else is there left to say, to me, it makes what Janet Napolitano has been preaching a mute point, that our borders are secure. I do not believe so. If the violence spills over.....I can not even imagine the consequences.

2012 is fast approaching,  there are major issues on the table that need to be addressed, Obama will have had 4 years to have made a difference. I guess he has made a difference, a deficit that has increased by 34 billion dollars a day since he has been in office, borders that are unsecure and now has us in a third war, and $4.00 a gallon gasoline prices. Obama has criticized and blamed President Bush for the same conduct and nothing is said by mainstream media. It is acceptable for one, but not the other. It will be let to us to make the right choice for America....................we do not have much time left.

Until next time, May God Bless You and may God Bless America.

The Budget is a Joke..."Read' em and Weep"

I think my main question is does anyone in the Obama administration really understand that this great country is absolutely just drowning in debt. Does this alleged leader really think he will be able to spend us out of this crisis. If the people of the United States kept their finances like Obama and his bonehead advisers do, the entire population of the United States would be underwater. I have not seen nor have I heard of any plan by the Obama administration to attempt to reduce the debt.  All I hear is for increased spending. Had it not been for the Republicans and Tea Party forcing the issue, this past budget would would have been passed as is with no spending cuts. As it was, the budget went down to the last minute. This week brings another big speech by President Obama, on topics likely to follow him and the Republicans for the rest of the year and into the 2012 election: Budget deficits and the federal debt. What I am seeing and hearing is the budget is a joke and assumes a lot. You know what happens when we assume, it makes an ASS -out of-U- and ME.  That is what is awaiting Obama, and I fear the most, the administration does not give a flip about what happens. SPEND- SPEND -SPEND!! Obama’s budget projects(ASSUMES) that the United States will have  economic growth of around 4 to 5 percent for most of the coming decade.

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/what-is-wrong-with-the-u-s-economy-here-are-10-economic-charts-that-will-blow-your-mind

Just click on the link below to get a look at the hard numbers for the 2012 budget, and as I said in the title, read'em and weep....I have and I am still weeping. Folks this is scary stuff, I hope you care as much as I do.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2012/assets/tables.pdf
 Heck I can not even predict what is for breakfast tomorrow, much less 10 years from now. Guess what, neither can Obama. Another huge issue that is alarming, unless we can figure a way to STOP other countries from paying slave wages to workers,  the United States will continue to lose jobs so fast that it will all you will hear is the large sucking sound of our jobs leaving the U.S. headed for different parts of the globe.  It just amounts to profits and everyone needs profits, and the heck with the consequences.  China is owning us, not only in loans, but in imports... make China pay a 100% import tax. Another good way, just look at the MADE IN LABEL....if it says China, put it back on the shelf and DO NOT BUY IT! I am not and do not claim to be an economist, but I do know if you spend more than you make.....it does not work. And the United States is not producing more than it spends. We are in serious serious trouble if the Congress does not get serious about making some serious cuts we will not last 10 years. I hope you are ready for the great economic collapse, it is just around the corner.

Until next time, may God Bless You and may God Bless America...

A Protector of Kids.....Calling It a Career after 36 Years!

Harlingen Police Department
Being a Police Officer and Chief of Police during my 26 Year Career I know how difficult and emotionally draining can be for any Police Officer to respond to a call which involves child molestation or where a child has been abused or murdered.  Trust me, I have seen cases that make grown men cry. Irregardless of the circumstances or how horrific the case maybe, a Police Officer has to respond to the call and maintain his professionalism.  Most Police Departments have a unit or in the very least a detective that is assigned to handle all of the kiddie cases as they are commonly referred to by some Officers. I salute each and everyone of them. However I would like to pay special tribute to one officer who dedicated 18 years of his career to taking care of his "kids" as he so graciously put its. The Officer is Sgt. Richard Turner, of the Harlingen Police Department. Richard recently retired from the department after 37 years of serving the citizens and children of Harlingen Texas, population of about 75,000. Harlingen is in deep south Texas, 20 miles as a crow flies from the Mexican border, and about 45 miles from South Padre Island.  I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Richard on a few occasions, as always Richard always came through with whatever request or needed. I was the Chief of Police of a small Department just north of Harlingen, because of the size of the Town, we did not have all the resources that were sometimes needed, so I depended on the assistance of The Harlingen Police Department, the Texas Rangers for assistance on occasions. Whenever my officers ever needed Richard, he was always there to assist us, never saying no. I have no idea of the countless cases that Richard worked in his career, but they are more than I care to think about. For all officers the job in itself is difficult, not only are you an officer, your a marriage counselor, you are just about every profession rolled into one. On top of that, you are a husband and father expected by most to leave your job at the station when you go home. That is difficult. I can not imagine how much more difficult it is when dealing with infants that have had a leg broken by a spiral fracture, or a baby that has been scalded to death or a kid that has been bounced off the floor like a basketball.  All of that and so much more Richard had to deal with. However he was able to maintain his professionalism and be the husband and be a father of 4. My hat is off to him. He did his job, and did it well. It takes a special person to be able to handle the added stress of working kiddie cases. The City of Harlingen was fortunate to have had Sgt. Richard Tuner, he was and is a credit to his profession and a credit to The City of Harlingen.

I could go on about Richard, but I won't, because he is not a seeker of attention, however I wanted to thank my friend for his dedication to his job................Thanks ole buddy for a job well done.  Enjoy your retirement, your have earned it.



Until next time...God Bless You and God Bless America...........

Government Shut Down - Yes, No, May So

12 Hours and Counting!!
To the President of United States, Congress,  Republicans, Democrats and the Tea Party. Listen to me, one and all. Each and everyone of you have been honored by the citizens of the United States and elected  to a position of responsibility to oversee the governing of our country, to ensure that we are a country of laws and to maintain oversight on our taxes that each of us pay so that we may all live in a country which is envied by others, a free and democratic nation. Also to ensure that our tax dollar is wisely spent and not abused. A portion of our taxes are designated to pay the salary of our military and federal law enforcement. Our country is protected by the best military in the world and and our country's borders are protected and guarded by the best law enforcement officers in the world.  To consider not paying these individuals because of a shutdown is deplorable and beyond reason.  As an American citizen I am ashamed of each and everyone of you by the actions that I have witnessed over the past few months. How dare you put the families of anyone who protects our land in jeopardy by shutting down our government and by withholding wages is a disgrace to say the least.  If this shutdown happens, and I pray it does not, each of you should resign your office for you will have disgraced the very oath that you took when you were sworn in to office. The President and Congress will get paid regardless of a shutdown as you are classified as essential

http://blogs.chron.com/armedsources/2011/04/congress_obama_paid_during_shu.html

 personnel.  I beg to differ, your inability to agree on a budget proves you are non-essential, your behavior is that of a 3 year old child.   Some of you, have been handed a life of luxury and means, some you have lived a privileged life lacking for nothing, unlike most of our military and other federal employees and citizens. Still you argue daily taking one step forward and two steps back, it is like rowing a boat with one oar in the water. Some of you have also abused the very office to which you were elected.  It's amazing how a group of supposedly educated people can do nothing more but to agree to disagree. You are about to affect thousand of people, however it will not affect you, as you are considered essential personnel.  I will be curious to know how many of you will take your fat paycheck which will be deposited on time in your accounts, while employees get nothing.  I have no illusions about the complacency of people.  However it is high time that we FIX Congress. Enough is enough get your act together, or leave.

I hate to sound so harsh, but I along with millions of Americans are sick and tired of the position that this Nation has been placed. We are not, and never have been a second rate Country, but we are headed in that direction, sooner than later....It is up to us, the American people to make the necessary changes until we find the right people for the job. people who take the job as an honor and not a means to get FAT on.


So until next time....God Bless You and God Bless America.........................

Eric Holder - Not Our Friend

After announcing that the trial of KSM will now be held in a Military venue, Eric Holder plays the blame game, yesterday blaming Congress for politicizing the trial on Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.  KSM and any other terrorist linked to any terrorist cell should be tried in a Military Court, not a criminal court. However Holder has delayed this trial long enough. I can't imagine the pain Holder has caused the families by not making a decision which should have been made within 6 months. He already knew New York did not want, nor supported having the trial in New York, it would be way to costly and the security would have been a night mare to say the least.  Holder has done his best to drag this trial out as long as he could, but he finally caved in,  so to save face, and not run the possibility of losing the trial,  like what almost happened with Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, 36, who was convicted of just one count of conspiracy to destroy government buildings and property. Ghailani was convicted on only one count, out of over 280 counts filed by HOLDER!  As the Attorney General of the United States Holder should be ashamed of his dismal failure in this case, yet Holder chose to try Ghailani in civilian court. Holder did so knowing he had a chance of blowing the entire case because his star witness was not allowed to testify, yet he rolled the dice, and damned near lost. This shows you he is willing to risk it all, he cares not about justice, he cares not about the security of the United States, he cares about Eric Holder and following the Obama doctrine, a doctrine of appeasement.  Still afraid to call a terrorist for what they are, Radical Extremist Muslims, and by continuing to be apologetic for past actions of the United States. Here is a quote by Obama's   U.S. Attorney General, who  released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech in Cairo, Egypt:

“The President’s pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth. “There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear – to pit our national security against our civil liberties – but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles.”  

In March 2007, after four years in captivity, including six months of detention at Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — as it was claimed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal Hearing in Guantanamo Bay — confessed to masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up an airliner over the Atlantic Ocean, the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and various foiled attacks, like the the failed bombing of American Airlines Flight 63, the Millennium Plot, and the murder of Daniel Pearl.

In spite of all of the above, Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder wanted to prosecute KSM in federal court!!!  Can you imagine, on the battlefield, a soldier capturing an enemy combatant.."You have the right to remain silent, anything you say will be used against you in a court of law!  It makes me sick, but this is how this administration thinks. I could not imagine the outcome of WWII if Obama and Holder were in power..I can see it now, Mr. Hitler, you have the right to remain silent...Even though the Miranda rights did not exist in that era, I just stop and think of what if.............................. In addition, the Patriot Act is now rendered toothless thanks to Mr. Holder. I just can not imagine another 4 years of the duo of Obama & Holder, it is more than I could bear to tolerate.





Until next time.......God Bless You and may God Bless America..

4 More Years of The Obama Failure I think Not......

I am not sure how most Americans might feel, but this writer will say, enough is enough..We are in another war that is not a war, we are fighting terrorist that are not terrorist, and sooner than later, we all will be living in an America that is not the America we have grown to know and love. Sooner than later, if we allow this man another 4 years, we will be living a life style none of us are accustomed of living in. As it is we are broke, and as I hear, Obama will be spending more and more, with no end in sight.  Instead of growing jobs in America, we are giving jobs to Brazil. Now lets see what else we can pull out of the hat this President has failed at, lets start with since failing to fulfill his promise to overhaul immigration policy, President Barack Obama has asked Latino voters for patience as the economy spirals out of control, health care reform and other issues dominated his early agenda.  If you pay attention to the 2010 cenus, uyou have to notice the Latinos are the largest minority group in the nation.According to a recent poll, 70% of Latinos approve of Obama, but only 43% will vote for him again.  I wonder why only 43% plan on voting for him........................could it be he just flat out lied, what is new he is just a politician, they all lie., I am sure you have figured this out without me having to tell you, do you remember the chants of................................

"Yes we can!  roared the crowd. It was an emotional night for everyone. The 2008 presidential election was over. John McCain had lost to the first major party endorsed African-American presidential candidate in United States history. We finally closed troubling chapters in our history such as Mississippi burning and the civil rights marches of Selma. Republicans, including the bewildered Religious Right, sat stunned in their seats wondering what would happen to their country. It was not because the Democratic Party was any different from the Bush Administration but because the GOP had pathetically lost its neo-conservative bully pulpit in the White House. Democrats cheered with glee at the opportunity to take back the power that was theirs during the Clinton Glory Days. They salivated at the prospect of re-introducing neo-liberal interventionism on foreign soil and overseas markets They longed to once again crank the Dollar presses to inflate the money supply in the name of the "poor" this time instead of "business". They would gladly finish the work of the Fall of the American Empire started under the Bush Regime.

And now, the smoke and mirrors game goes on. The crooked politicians of 2009 are no different than the corrupt politicians of the Gilded Age or the Roaring Twenties. Crony capitalists like oil barons and railway tycoons then lined the pockets of our nation's representatives to further the goals of Big Business and destroy the wealth of American workers. Sound familiar? President Obama had a unique opportunity in history -- and he blew it. He brought us "change" indeed. He slammed the Bush Doctrine in all its ugly forms of secrecy and judicial obstruction into executive hyper-drive. The rhetoric of compassionate conservative now became the drivel of compassionate liberalism.  If there is one thing Americans say about Obama it is this: he cares.
He cares for the mechanic in Detroit who lost his job. He cares for the middle-aged couple living in the Hooverville tent outside Sacramento. He cares for the middle class mother and her three kids in Toledo spending their nights in a homeless shelter with the addicted and the ignored.  But does Obama really care?
No he does not care one stinking bit. In fact, his compassionate liberalism runs so deep that it pulls a move from the old Ronald Reagan playbook we knew as trickle-down economics. These days the compassionate White House grants bail-out money to financial monsters like AIG and Bank of America. There could be no better help for the American veteran shivering under a bridge tonight because there just aren't any more jobs. (Unless of course, you can beat out the 200 other people applying for that one lonely job opening.) The idea is that bail-out money will sooner or later trickle-down to the great unwashed masses of Americans wondering what in Sam Hill happened to the real estate market and their retirement accounts. It may only be a drop of financial bail-out -- but hey it trickled down. Next up, bread lines!  The truth is that the White House allowed corporate giant CEOs to loot and pilfer the public treasury. This Administration is following the same tortured logic of the previous one which assured us that falsely accused cab drivers from Baghdad were receiving comfortable attention at Guantanamo Bay. The left-right political paradigm in this country is a sham. (Sorry to disappoint my fellow Evangelical Christians.) Both parties have proven to be Big Business, Big Government warmongers. For those who actually wished McCain had been elected just think about this: the GOP would have put up no opposition to the new President's Stimulus Package and would have rammed through trillions more in "help" for America. So there you have it. President Obama is as bad as the worst conservative and as bad as the worst liberal -- and all with a smile. How is the left-right scenario a sham? Consider the following. The gay rights issue is a political distraction. Stem cell research? Just more Big Research pork-barrel spending. Abortion? It's the political Gordian Knot that requires even the most astute of political science majors to bust a gut if they dare try to untie it. The so-called immigration invasion? A typical act of sensational yellow journalism that says, "Look over there, Bubba! It ain't your own government stealin' your hard-earned dollars, it's them Mexicans lookin' for revenge and dishwasher jobs since the Alamo!" Sorry, Pat Buchanan, the "Death of the West" comes from the corruption in our government, not the immigrants heading back home in record numbers. What are the real issues of post-election America? For starters, the destruction of individual wealth in this country, save for the high upper class. We are on the verge of an economic meltdown that will dwarf the Great Depression and will take decades to recover. There is no need for a conspiracy theory here -- only the urgency of understanding the mess that we allowed to happen and how we can financially protect ourselves. We must not waste time. We must move our already-compromised and over-valued U.S. Dollars into assets of real value. This does not include real estate unless you're buying ten cents or less on the high-priced dollar. Forget your 401(k), pensions and your annuities. Unless you can take your money out, they are toast. The stock market is one toxic graveyard, particularly finance shares. Dump them. Invest in precious metals, food supply, cigarettes, alcohol and medicine for trade and help for your neighbors when the Dollar collapses. Consider buying silver, palladium and gold from reputable sellers like apmex.com. I personally recommend silverbullion.com because I support the goals of the owner Jason Hommel to bring silver back as the most effective medium of exchange. Remember, that despite the U.S. Treasury's naked assertions, the U.S. Constitution expressly reserves the right of individual States to mint legal tender coins so long as they're gold or silver. When the dollar collapses, I do not think that New York City will burn or that the United States will come to an immediate end. But if it did, the blame must rest entirely on Barack Obama and his Congressional Criminal Syndicate. Some might here criticize me as being unfair. After all, George W. Bush The Evangelical nearly bankrupted this country with his illegal wars, his blatant lies to stir Americans to bloodshed, his deliberate obstruction to the 9/11 Commission, his last-minute corporate bailout to the tune of hundreds of billions, his economic tinkering with interest rates, his unconscionable acts of torturing innocent men and children, his doubling of the national debt, et cetera, et cetera.  But let me be clear about this. George W. Bush is a public menace. He and his cadre must be tried and convicted of their crimes. But that will never happen under an Obama Presidency, in spite of the President's left-leaning brand of crony capitalism. The Truth Commission currently at play in the Congress is merely a circus show to fool Americans into thinking that we actually take seriously the crimes of torture, invasion, occupation, mayhem, pillaging, looting, rape, pollution, perjury, bribery and killing of civilians with illegal weapons of war. Every moment that the Obama Administration rolls on without prosecuting the crimes of the former Administration, it exists as a de facto confirmation that our new President has sold out to the rich and that he lied to his Democratic base and the American voter. The White House today has continued in the same deadly bait-and-switch tactics of the former Village Idiot-In-Chief. Additionally, Obama has moved to control more media and aggressively solidify relationships with members of the "War and Bankers Party" on both sides of the aisle. For a President to vociferously take on Rush Limbaugh the GOP's talk radio attack dog is an alarming signal. Besides the fact that the Democrats want to point out the weakness of the GOP's leadership vacuum, Obama is inserting himself into the realm of media and entertainment instead of focusing on how his office can uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution in light of the economic crisis. Are we really so surprised to see the leftist authoritarian Hugo Chavez, who is a regular media personality, cheer Obama in his nationalization and socialization of the banking and insurance industries? Evangelical Christian radio stations are scared stiff about the Democratic-led Congress reviving restrictions on Americans to share their religious opinions over the people's airwaves. And they should be concerned. (I particularly enjoy my local station.) After all, the same kind of government that monitors, censors, filters and controls any form of media is the same type of authoritarianism that steals, plunders and coerces its own people. One look at China's control of the internet and Google's sickening overture to that regime is enough to make any civil libertarian's skin crawl. Reports that Australia is considering Chinese-style filtering over what their people can access on the internet makes me want to boycott eucalyptus leaves.


So why is President Obama responsible for our economic debacle?


Because it's the first rule of leadership. Everything is your fault. If he didn't like the prospect of being stuck with the mess of his predecessor he should have remained in the Senate or considered an honest living like working for AIG or Lehmann Brothers. Obama has not only repeated the same unconstitutional trespasses of Bush II, but he actually increased the amount of corporate welfare to the Bank Barons. Obama turned a blind eye to the Federal Reserve's arbitrary usury practice through the printing of increasingly worthless U.S. Dollars.  Are we really going to see a Dow Jones 4000? The answer is regrettably yes -- and then some. There are economic forces at play that will no longer be ignored or manipulated. Human behavior will always gravitate towards self-preservation and the protection of our future generations through wealth-building, capital, production and labor. All the paper fiat money and government spending in the world can never stop that or help this economic disaster recover without drastic corrections to our own cursed speculative market. The times of fast and easy money are over. President Obama has not even finished his first year in office and I must already call him out as one of the worst Executives ever in the history of our Republic. Bush II is close behind. Every GOP and Democratic elected leader that voted for any of these crooked bail-outs deserves a one-way ticket to an electoral defeat. Should state law allow it, a public tar-and-feathering might be in order.
When our country faced economic dangers, depressionary woes and international volatility let it be said that President Obama failed to protect us from the corruption of Congress, the indifference of the Judiciary and the foolishness of the People. Let it be said that he abandoned his post to uphold the Constitution. Let it be said that he whored his policies and his office for the rich and powerful, both foreign and domestic. Let it be said that we voted for change and all we got was the Raw Deal of the Obama Failure."

In closing, I do not have an idea of what is ahead for all of us, I know that the hard times are more than likely just around the corner. However, I do know and fear if we re-elect this man to another 4 year term, the country as we know it is over........this man will completely destroy this country...if this is the type of leader you want, then you should be happy......

Until next time, God Bless You and God Bless America...
