Charley Reese's Final column!
A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end..
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,

What in the heck happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

You Don't Receive Because You Don't Ask
I was sitting on the front porch Saturday, watching my grandson
Danny cutting our grass on the riding mower. I had placed the
mower deck higher than usual to just mow the grass/sand spurs.
They catch on to your shoes, socks, pants etc. They are a pain
(literally.) Some of the 5 acres were turning brown for lack of
rain. When it's this dry, it can be a dirty, dusty job cutting the
grass and some people wear a cloth mask over their nose and
mouth. It was 102 degrees with no rain in sight. We had not
had rain in days and it was hot every day. My thoughts went to
the Scripture "You don't receive because you don't ask."
It was Jesus Christ who said this. I thought about what Jesus said
and wondered why people don't ask. I concluded that the reason
people don't ask is because they really don't believe, i.e. they lack
faith. I bowed my head and told God that I believe and I asked
Him to send us some rain.
The next morning I got up and walked out into the family room
where my wife was, and looked outside and told my wife it's
raining. She said yes, it rained half of the night. I went into my
PC room to take my I-phone off from the charger and turned
it on. It said in big letters "Flash flood warning for Weatherford."
It rained Sat. night, Sunday, Sunday night, Monday and
Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday. Sunday morning, the
temperature dropped down to 68 degrees.
Many will say that was just a coincidence, I call it answered prayer.
That was last week. Now, I'm cutting green grass again.
We serve a great and wonderful God!

WAL-MART VS. THE MORONS (NOT A JOKE)
I know lots of folks don't like Wal-Mart, but this is fascinating.
This is spot-on.
PLEASE, READ THIS TO THE END. IT IS VERY INTERESTING!!!
Wal-Mart vs. The Morons
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March
17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco
K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private
employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and
keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought
bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are
Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur
at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground
work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart
to fix the economy.
This should be read and understood by all Americans… Democrats,
Republicans, EVERYONE!!
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
it is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons:
a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234
years to get it right and it is broke.
b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to
get it right and it is broke.
c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get
it right and it is broke.
d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it
right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to
"the poor" and they only want more.
e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44
years to get it right and they are broke.
f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get
it right and it is broke.
g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our
dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of
$24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get
it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our
throats while overspending our tax dollars.
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED
WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end
up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything)
and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.
AND
I know what's wrong. We have lost our minds to "Political Correctness"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people that
run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless
etc. and the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey and now
Pakistan ( the previous home of bin Laden). literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do
they get any breaks.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children
going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medicines, and mentally ill
without treatment, etc.
Imagine if the GOVERNMENT gave U. S. the same support they give to
other countries. Sad isn't it?
*99% of the people receiving this message won't have the guts to forward this.
*I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did

To all who do not want Mitch Daniel, who do you want? Do you still want the same one's in Washington DC who got us into this hole.The ones who will make citizen out of those who has broken the law? who do you want? the governor of Louisiana, Virginia, Arizona, Who do you want?
I see the same thing over,and over. Obama did this,Obama did that,I see those who said they christian but hate there bother. So who do you want? Another Obama so are we can do is keep complaining. Lets start by putting what we feel in action, lets find the one are two that we can stand with and who really will stand with us, who will stand beside us and not in front of us.
We complain about the people who walk for Trayvon Martin,just so you know only 100 people show up here.They did there march so lets do our,lets get the names of all the kids and young adult that was killed, before,after,and doing that case.
Lets show we care ,lets show they names,ages,and photo from Georgia to Michigan, from South Carolina to California.
Lets have a Well Is The Out Cry March
It really dos not matter if Obama or Jesse Jackson say anything, it only matters if we will.
Bring a disable Vet and the way I us my words,some of you will say good thing,and some bad things,because of what i wrote and the word I used,but that OK because this is still American.
But i still would like to see how many truly will have a Well Is The Out Cry march not to make the Tea Party look good,but for the kids
I am fortunate & blessed, to have an experienced some of the most prosperous years of our later America.
America was 24/7 365 days a year jobs & careers for any person willing to work.
You could name a profession, a job description, an industry or classification & America was employed,
Hovering around 4 % percent unemployment.
It was our Heritage & Culture, unbridled & unregulated.
It was our Capitalism, Free Enterprise & Entrepreneurism allowed Americans to employ themselves in their quest to be independent, self sufficient people that would meet or exceed in needs or requirement for themselves of that of their dependents.
It was this Capitalism, Free Enterprise & Entrepreneurism that brought forth the decades of our greatest employers, the providers some of the greatest employment this Nation has ever experienced.
There were jobs & careers available at every pay scale imaginable that fit your qualifications. The jobs & careers that allowed the employed their independence & freedom to meet or exceed any needs or requirements they may have, or that of any dependent.
Growing government became controllers, regulators & enmeshed in excessiveness, waste, fraud, abuse.
They themselves became controlled & influenced by lobby, speculators, unions, special interest, dark money & global agenda.
We have made decades of very poor decisions of who we have voted for or allowed in our federal buildings.
We must align ourselves with those that are Un-Wavering Americans, Constitutionalist, Conservatives, Small Govers, & no matter what, we must deliver them to the Elected & Appointed Jobs of the governments of this Nations, City, County, State & our sick, dysfunctional, shameful & dangerous Federal Government.
We can become an employed America, so easily, quicker than what one would even imagine.
We can watch crime drop to levels of the 60's with true employment across America.
We must see deregulation, We must see flat tax or consumption tax, The ( 5x7 Card ) while totally dismantling the IRS.
We must demand responsible, true fair trade agreements.
We must reel in foreign Aid
As our Troops come home, our Military must be assigned to the entire perimeter borders of this Nation, as part of their enlistment tours.
We must Dominate & Own the MIDTERM ELECTIONS STARTING NOW.!
We must have our vetted & approved candidates, Not those that are shoved down our throats.
We must Dominate the Senate Seats & Gubernatorial Seats.
We must pound our elected daily, from top to bottom, inside out with our Truth, our Requirements of Them.!
500+ELECTABLE JOBS ARE UP FOR GRABS, STARTING NOW, THROUGH MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
OUR AMERICA CAN NOT ENDURE ANYMORE TOTOLITARIAN GOVERNMENT.
We must vote to end the decades of Economic, Financial, Social, Religious, Political Terrorism that pours from our federal building, Backed with our Tax Dollars & Shameful Borrowed Money.
God Bless America

If you missed the news coverage we’re here to fill you in.
A neighborhood watch man, an adult carrying a concealed weapon, shot and killed an unarmed teenage boy and was just found not-guilty by a jury after two days of deliberations.
“I just want to say thank you to the people who believed in me, who stood by me,” [the shooter] said following the verdict.“I still have my regrets for the [young boy’s] family; it’s still an unfortunate situation for them. I am happy that at least this chapter is over.”As deliberations dragged on over two days and the jury asked for testimony to be read back, [the shooter] admits he didn’t know how it would all turn out.“I was nervous of course,” he said. “You never know what direction this whole thing is going to turn, so I have no idea. But it worked out and I feel that justice (was) served today.”[The boy’s] family members say justice wasn’t served.They say [he] was murdered in cold blood, that he’d never been in trouble and [the shooter] acted as judge, jury and executioner.“The message is that we can all go out and get guns and kill anybody that we feel is threatening us and lie about the fact,” said [the boy’s] father.“My son never threatened anybody. He was a gentle child, his nature was gentle, he was a good person and he was never, ever arrested for anything, and has never been in trouble.He was 16 years and four months old, and he was slaughtered.”[The shooter] says he acted in self defense when he confronted [the boy]…
Perhaps you missed the story: here are pictures of the shooter and the victim
The one on the left, in the hoodie, is Roderick Scott, the shooter. The one on the right is the dead kid, Christopher Cervini.
I’m shocked you missed President Obama’s statement when he found out about the shooting, “If the white half of me had a son he would have looked like Christopher Cervini.”
You might have even missed the uproar surrounding the Department of Justice having their Community Relations Services group in Rochester, NY organize demonstrations of white upstate New Yorkers demanding a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate this cold blooded murder of a gentle white boy by a black man wearing a hoodie.
Actually, I’m not shocked that you missed all that news since it wasn’t really news outside of Rochester, NY.
Here’s a summary of what happened.
Scott says he acted in self defense when he confronted Cervini and two others saying they were stealing from neighbors cars. He told them he had a gun and ordered them to freeze and wait for police. Scott says he shot Cervini twice when the victim charged toward him yelling he was going to get Scott.
Based on what I’ve been able to find, the jury reached the correct verdict in Scott’s case just as they did in the Zimmerman trial.
I can understand how Christopher Cervini’s dad could say what he said just like I can understand how Trayvon Martin’s parents can say what they say. It’s called “grief”. It’s also called “denial”.
I also understand why we haven’t heard a word from President Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP or anything about expanded investigations from the Department of Justice.
That is called “hypocrisy”.

How come we've never heard about this?
The moral of this story is that bad behavior results in trouble. Instead of ranting and raving about injustice parents and all other sincere well meaning folks, regardless of color, race, religion, etc., would be better off going out of their way to teach their children and neighborhood children that bad behavior leads to lots of trouble in life.
Add a little SOCIALISM, add a little COMMUNISM, and stir in a few CONSPIRACY THEORY books, for example a good old one, "NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY" by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham (apply to present day), and you have what this country is coming too, if we don't stop it. We all need to get out before elections and go door to door and raise the votes for the best candidates for the offices.
God Bless the old America and God Bless all of us, because we need it, more then ever,
Bobby V.
After the question he should respond:
With his usual response, then: (really stick it back to them with)
..... but more importantly, why are you asking me this question when you haven't taken question and gotten to the truth with our present President? Tell me? And also, why can't we have a single day in court about his social security number and why haven't you asked about that .... and who was his mentor Frank Marshall Davis and tell me when did he flip back? I think you need to do your job first before you get to me, so will you do it?
(then wait .... don't say another word .... wait!)
Then after a good long wait, 'I'll tell you what, you do that, you get to the bottom of these items and we'll talk more then, agreed?' And I want to see you asking those questions and after you do, you get back to me and I'll be more than happy to go from there; agreed?
Christianity – the faith of 85% of Americans is under attack from all sides, especially the Federal Government and its array of misinformed propagandists in Academia, Media and the bureaucracies. I thought this list of Catholic priests who were the fathers of various mathematics and scientific disciplines might be interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_Catholic_cleric%E2%80%93scientists These Catholic clergy didn’t get their motivation by belonging to a Church that was anti-science. In fact scientific method was devised in the 12th Century at the Cathedral School at Chartres. Then the science and technology ball started rolling! The Church does stand against anything that devalues the sanctity and value of human life from conception to natural death. “Progressives” whine and complain when they are stymied from imposing their culture of death, claiming the Church is against scientific endeavor.
Former Obama czar and now Harvard genius Cass Sunstein is lamenting over the lack of American students’ interest in science and math. (I have some bragging rights here – my Grandson Gerald II recently graduated in Math at the top of his class at U/Alaska-Anchorage. He is preparing to press on to Ph.D. Gerald is a product of the Carden School – the antithesis of public education as currently practiced from the totalitarian level.) Sunstein is right in noting the kids arrive in college with poor preparation in the sciences – I might add in bad physical shape because their high school PE programs were cut, their corpus collosi challenged because their right brain development in music and art programs were cut to make room for the political correctness of phony racial diversity, gender equality, sexual proclivity and hate America themes. And they expect kids to be motivated to subject themselves to real disciplines?
I think what Sunstein and the rest of the “progressive” crowd miss is the attitude base of today’s education process. The students are hammered with all the evils of American hegemony and destroying the earth with our technology. Schools under guidance from DC promote Godless political correctness in all its evil forms, including youthful guilt trips. The clergy-discoverers were likely motivated by God’s command in Genesis – “subdue the earth – be fruitful and multiply…” That doesn’t mean beat it to death, it means search, discover, refine, apply and bring forth the fruit of products, processes and opportunities for all to expand their horizons by creativity and service – giving glory to God – the only entity that can handle it! That's called Stewardship - the opposite of EPA regulations written by ignoramuses!
These are the “progressive solutions” – see a challenge – centralize it. See it isn’t working, throw money at it. See it still isn’t working – throw more money and write new draconian rules and regulations, ad nauseum. If that isn’t insanity for the sake of power, just what is? Of course, its also job security for nonperformers expecting cushy perks for the rest of their lives – until their idiot-run cities like Detroit and Stockton go bankrupt. “California here I come…” Love, BK
Why would a student become fired up about science and technology when his education process has laid a guilt trip on him for even thinking about it? At the world famous Bakersfield Relay For Life, I fell in to walk with a young black woman and her son. She, like me was a cancer survivor. I asked her son what he wanted to be when he grew up. A nice, well-mannered kid, his answer shocked me. He said, “I want to become a lawyer so I can sue corporations!”
As an engineer, I’m a lousy structural designer, but a pretty good innovator currently holding forth some very fine “green” technologies for water, energy and environmentally pure applications. These are “very fine” because they actually reduce costs and eliminate the kind of chemical hazards that require a safety shower nearby in case a worker gets soaked with iodine or acid. Do we get an ounce of encouragement from the environmental gurus on government payrolls? Hell no! It falls right back to good old free enterprise, salesmanship and problem solving.
When President George H. W. Bush promised to shut down the Department of Education then caved in to the “progressives” of both parties, he missed his chance for true greatness. The education process would have been returned to where it belongs and competence and competition is the highest – with the parents and the local community. Now we’re stuck with three major messes all brought on by the Federal Government interfering where the Constitution forbids it to go: Health, Education and Welfare – the playground of eugenicists and totalitarians.
“Times they are a’changing!”

At the world famous Bakersfield Relay For Life, I fell in to walk with a young black woman and her son. She, like me was a cancer survivor. I asked her son what he wanted to be when he grew up. A nice, well-mannered kid, his answer shocked me. He said, “I want to become a lawyer so I can sue corporations!”
As an engineer, I’m a lousy structural designer, but a pretty good innovator currently holding forth some very fine “green” technologies for water, energy and environmentally pure applications. These are “very fine” because they actually reduce costs and eliminate the kind of chemical hazards that require a safety shower nearby in case a worker gets soaked with iodine or acid. Do we get an ounce of encouragement from the environmental gurus on government payrolls? Hell no! It falls right back to good old free enterprise, salesmanship and problem solving.
When President George H. W. Bush promised to shut down the Department of Education then caved in to the “progressives” of both parties, he missed his chance for true greatness. The education process would have been returned to where it belongs and competence and competition is the highest – with the parents and the local community. Now we’re stuck with three major messes all brought on by the Federal Government interfering where the Constitution forbids it to go: Health, Education and Welfare – the playground of eugenicists and totalitarians.

I feel certain this will be Rev. Al's next great cause; watch for it on cable TV any day now................
See, my family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder wasn’t ruled a ‘hate crime’.Oh, and President Obama didn’t take a single moment to acknowledge my murder. He couldn’t have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he care?
I’m one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media didn’t care to cover the story of my being killed in cold blood.
There isn’t a white equivalent of Al Sharpton, because if there was he would be branded a ‘racist’. So no one’s rushing to Brunswick, Georgia to demonstrate and demand ‘justice’ for me. There’s no ‘White Panther’ party, either, to put a bounty on the lives of the two black teens who murdered me.I have no voice, I have no representation, and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.Isn’t this a great country?
So while you’re out seeking ‘justice for Trayvon’, please remember to seek ‘justice’ for me. Tell your friends about me, tell your families, get tee-shirts with my face on them, and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.
I won’t hold my breath. I don’t have to anymore.-------------------------------------------------------------------Our President, the Attorney General, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson are falling all over themselves to keep stirring the pot of racial divisiveness. Why don't they care about this crime?Oh yeah, Chris Matthews, you don't have to apologize for me.
Al Sharpton uses race baiting to continue attacks on George Zimmerman
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." (1911) - Booker T. Washington.”
There is a class of people in this nation that are the problem profiteering pimps of race baiting who gain nothing from eliminating the source of barriers that block progress for black people. That is why they have nurtured the frenzy of hate against George Zimmerman.
They worked for well over a century, even before 1911 to manufacture a hysteria that could bolster their own economic standing in terms of their bank account, with no account for validity, accuracy or the truth. Their practices have been hewn from the tree of hate, because it is in hate that they rise and it is in falseness that they thrive. Black progress is their adversary and nemesis.
Zimmerman’s innocence is of no matter to race baiters because it is easier to manufacture a lie which they can easily push than a truth which forces the black public to look inside and ask questions about their own true issues. So deflection, cries of denunciation and of racial injustice against Trayvon Martin was the banner they designed and carried against George Zimmerman last year. Even though the prosecutors found no proof and the FBI investigation found no proof indicating profiling… race baiters like Al Sharpton insisted George Zimmerman was guilty and sold this narrative to the public. It nearly got him convicted!
Yet there was a truth which was not shared. Yet is as punishing as it is illuminating. Out of the mouth of the only true witness to the words and the deeds of Trayvon Martin’s last minutes alive, came an alarming insight. Rachel Jeantel seemed to imply on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live." Show early this week, that it was Trayvon Martin who approached the car of George Zimmerman.
According to her, it was Trayvon Martin who profiled George Zimmerman and caused a dangerous down spiraling to ensue because she suggested to Martin that Zimmerman might be a gay man who could be a rapist.
So if the words of the only person who actually was talking to Trayvon Martin is suggesting that Martin did not run away when he could have, but instead approached the car of Zimmerman, where was the “hunting down” of Martin?
Sincere well-intentioned Americans are asking, “What must we do to heal the racial divide following the Zimmerman trial?” What my naïve fellow Americans do not comprehend is that the Democratic party and the mainstream media are heavily invested in keeping racial tension alive.
During Obama's presidency, race exploitation has been on steroids, used by Obama minions to silence opposition to his lawless implementation of his socialist agenda. Therefore, Democrats and the MSM will continue stirring the pot of racial division until it is no longer profitable.
The American people have proven their eagerness to put race behind us by electing the first black president, exempting him from the usual vetting process of one seeking the position of leader of the free world. Given his ties to anti-American far left radicals, weak credentials and under-reported excess baggage, Obama would not have been elected president if he were white.
Lets address the question of what to do to heal America's racial divide. The first thing I would do is enact a 50 year moratorium on Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson having access to TV cameras and microphones; banning both guys from media appearances.
Second, I would disband the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus. Both these groups have abandoned their higher purpose to become scam artists – shills for conning blacks into embracing a socialist/liberal agenda. Real black empowerment is no longer their mission, quite the opposite. Both groups are hostile to self-reliant empowered black role models. Exploiting race is the meat and potatoes of the NAACP and CBC's modus operandi.
Another thing I would advise Americans to do to begin racial healing is stop watching most of the mainstream media; particularly CNN, MSNBC and other agenda driven networks.
For crying out loud, NBC broadcast their doctored Zimmerman 911 call to make him appear to be a racist. http://bit.ly/16PKk52 Does that sound like NBC desires racial healing? I pray Zimmerman's lawsuit against NBC reaps him a huge financial reward.
Exploiting race is so effective, evil and divisive because racial loyalty runs deep. I was surprised to hear a few fellow black conservatives parroting the liberal media's spin of the Zimmerman trial. Racial loyalty explains why otherwise bright blacks became brain-dead Obama voters in 2008.
Political hacks such as the DOJ's Eric Holder who called for a “national dialog about race” are themselves the problem – fueling the flames of racial division. In reality, racial healing is Holder, Obama and company's worst nightmare.
To racially heal our land, justice must be distributed equally rather than politicians pandering to voting blocs; each jockeying for top victim status. Cease making excuses and exempting people-of-color from obeying the law to win their votes.
Oh, and for crying out loud, stop making it open season on dissing white America. Accusing whites of racism every time they disagree with another Obama outrageous power grab or move toward Socialism does not advance national racial healing.
Allow me to recap. To begin racial healing in America we should shut up Sharpton and Jackson, close down the NAACP and CBC, cease watching agenda-driven media, stop dividing Americans into victimized voting blocs and last but not lease; allow the American people to be who they truly are, fair-minded, decent, compassionate and generous without government interference.
Please note, my suggestion to silence Sharpton and Jackson and to disband the NAACP and CBC are made in jest. Unlike the Obama Administration and MSM enforcers of Political Correctness, I honor and defend our first Amendment right to free speech.
Every day in every way, Americans are getting along really well. Race problems are not that big of a deal. I know. I know. Some of you are going nuts over my statement. But, it is true. Blacks and whites are working, playing and having babies together.
Am I saying racism no longer exist? Absolutely not. Like every other sin, racism will survive until Jesus returns. All I am saying is that racism is not the major problem that Democrats and the mainstream media are so committed to having you believe; while they promote and nurture racial division.
If the race hustling pimps in the so-called civil rights movement and the MSM would get out of our way, we Americans will work out our racial issues.
I advise my fellow Americans to continue spreading a little love and forgiveness which is what the silent majority have been doing for years.
So, there you have it folks. This is how we achieve racial healing after the Zimmerman trial.
As always, it is up to us, every day Americans who make the country work to bring about racial healing; not the race baiting liberal elitists. We are Americans, good people blessed by God.

The Feelings Of A 'Hellish' Life For Whistleblower's And Exposer's Of Corruption
The Feelings Of A 'Hellish' Life For Whistleblower's And Exposer's Of Corruption
With the flood of sorts of many Whistleblowers now coming forward in all the latest Government scandals including that from the IRS, Benghazi, New York State Senators being arrested and “Cuomogate” and many other scandalous incidents all across the USA, you may notice that those people who “tell on” those involved in wrong doing, do so with great courage, but also do so with hefty consequences. You may even be a
Many of you, that is my avid “friends” and readers of my blog posts may consider Bradley Manning, the US
Having the feelings of being frustrated is often experienced by many whistleblowers and exposers of corruption, not just me or a few others. Those who decide to take an act of serious risk taking to expose wrong-doing, do so not only with one's personal job-career at great risk, but also of one's personal life. Unfortunately, and sadly, just about any whistleblower and or exposer of corruption can and will tell you that they have to fight many more then those whom he or she is accusing of wrong doing. In fact, it is often just as an ugly, and difficult issue of fighting a very apathetic attitude towards corruption on the part of the public that makes life difficult for all whistleblowers and exposers of corruption. Very often, those who expose evil and wrong doing do so at their own personal peril as I mentioned earlier. There are those who actually put their own and or their very own family member's lives in harms way for exposing such wrong doing. No one is spared from such evil...I think of State of California Attorney Richard Fine who spent over one-year in jail being mentally and physically tortured for exposing judicial corruption (http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/05/24/jailed.lawyer.richard.fine/index.html ). How very frustrated one must feel to not only have “the Law” on your side but also know “the Law” inside and out, yet to be incarcerated and tortured in jail for exposing others(corrupt judges) for crimes. Just think, if this can occur to a lawyer, think of the hundreds of thousands of American's who are non-attorneys all across our nation sitting in jail(or beaten, tortured or even dead) just for the non-criminal act of exposing real criminal acts of government officials and others. There are as well many, who have paid the ultimate price of being murdered for exposing government corruption also. One such person, a great woman, former Republican Party affiliated and Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer is just one of those who was killed for exposing many who partook(even to this date still do so) Government sanctioned stealing of American children from good families for financial profit, that is human and sex trafficking(http://youtu.be/jNyjROnzyy0). There are many whistleblowers and corruption exposers here in the USA that have been raked over the coals so to speak. Senator Schaefer certainly wasn't the first, and sadly, probably won't be the last to be killed for exposing evil and corruption. In fact, In case you were somehow unaware and missed it in the article , I too am also an exposer of Government corruption. While being victimized by an illegal alien and Foreign Immigration Marriage Scammer here in the US, I found myself actually not being helped by the courts in New York State. In fact, I started to get quite a thrashing of sorts while in the courts. I was confused as why I would be maltreated for speaking and sharing truth in my legal motions, initially through hired attorneys.
After I was forced to delete all my finances for attorney fee's and ordered to pay 120% of my pay for child support and maintenance, nor couldn't even get enough money for myself for my Diabetes and Hypertension medications, I became homeless and also began to report on all the self reporting of former female client's of mine as a Addiction Counselor who shared with me how they were trained by local Domestic Violence Program (female) workers and lawyers to falsify reports to police officers and courts falsely accusing husbands/boyfriends of Domestic Violence acts. Instead of receiving help, one evening, I found myself being on the receiving end of a conversation via a City of Batavia, NY cop who was sent via some judges, lawyers and that illegal alien threatening to murder me unless I stopped making complaints in and outside the courts among other things. What I found out over time is, and what I had(even to this day)experienced was not anything unusual, rather it is something that takes place all the time all across the USA. I have not been allowed to (illegally) see my children in four years, court hearing documents that apparently somehow grew legs and disappeared from Court records and much more in the way of cover-ups for illegal actions against me continues to takes place all for exposing corruption and fighting back against evil. This is just some of the price we all can and do pay for exposing evil, corruption and government grafthttp://corruptgenesee.com.You may be asking yourself by now, why doesn’t the media report more of these abuses by the Government and corporations ? Like I mentioned earlier about most of the Public as well as the American Media/Press... they are largely apathetic and even afraid. You may be asking “afraid of what ?” Judges, lawsuits and lawyers, that's “what.” Indeed, “not news worthy” is mostly the response from news reporters when whistleblowers tell their stories to the press. It's not like many years ago when even local TV Stations had reporters on staff just for nightly or weekly reports on “investigative reporting.” The days of Programming like “60 Minutes” did on CBS, died years ago-and is long-gone. Once in awhile though you will get a brave soul like John Stossel who will take segments of his Television Programs on FNC or in print and have a story or dialogue on whistleblowers. He should be commended for taking on such news items as "whistleblowing" however the vast majority of the press just doesn't care and in my opinion, most in the American Press are cowards and only interested in chasing Liberal ideologies rather than exposing real wrong doing and covering stories about whistleblowers and folks who expose wrong doing. I'm quite sure a FBI Whistelblower named John Roberts would agree with me in whole regarding everything I have written in this article. Mr. Roberts reported government corruption within the FBI to CBS in 2009. His story of great abuses and cover up within the FBI went far and wide when interviewed by Ed Bradley for the 60 Minutes Television Program back then. After the Director of the FBI Robert Mueller heard of the interview, he assured everyone publicly that Roberts would not be punished for his act of whistleblowing and telling his facts on the 60 Minutes Television Program. However, it was only 3 weeks later that Roberts found himself being “threatened , intimidated and humiliated for exposing what he said has become a pattern of misconduct at the highest levels of the FBI and that has gone unpunished” http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-530750.html.
I could go on and on, telling so many true stories of how “hellish” life is like for whistleblowers and exposers of corruption. In fact, I could probably write am entire book on the subject, but have written as much as I can here in this article. So, think upon this...when you hear that terrorist Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the US, his partner in crime... Barrack Hussein Obama or just about any Government leader(Federal, State, County Local), Agency or even Corporation spokesman out there for that matter, deny wrong doing, think about the hundreds of thousands of American lives they have destroyed and continue to destroy today without check all because good people like whsitleblowers are largely ignored and punished for doing good in exposing corruption and evil acts. Most likely, you may not know it, but you probably have a neighbor, a friend or even a family member suffering right now for exposing corruption or evil and they need your help. Empathy is nice, but actual help and support is much better. We are here, fighting not only for ourselves, but for you and our entire nation.... lend a hand. We need it.
If you are a whistleblower or a exposer of corruption, I stand with you, locked in arms with you in destroying those unrepentant, who promote evil and wrongdoing. Stay strong in the Lord and stick together. Feel free to post on this article a short summary of your experience
as a “whistleblower” if you so choose.

Rev. Paul P. Waldmiller~Black Robe Regiment Pastor
Our divider in chief Obama gave a surprise speech where he essentially said the problems that Blacks have is continued racism. He failed to mention that 70% of black babies are born to single mothers or that a high number of crimes are committed by blacks. Why did Travon cross the street and get into a fight? Does any one really think a 5'8" guy wanted to fight a 6' 2" 175LBS guy? The jury did not and gave a verdict.
I think Obama lives in a pre 1970 world, because the US is not the place it was when his mom married a black socialist college student in the 50's. He was elected twice without ever showing his college transcripts, which probably list him as a foreign Muslim student. Regardless of where he was born he used that title to get aid or a slot. Still he was elected and some of the most successful people in the US are black, so it can't be some sort of racial block or it would apply to everyone, right? So, if you study or have a great talent and do not commit a crime you can be very successful, like Obama, Oprah, LeBron, Dr. Carson or so many others.
Instead of saying that you can be successful in today's America, if you do your best and stay out of trouble. Obama chose to put spark to flame, indict our judicial system and America in 2013, as a country with bad folks who are racist. What a load of crap and a disservice to our citizens, even the white ones. Obama should just be called a black community organizer or professional campaigner not President of America.
