Am I the only one REALLY concerned about the low turnout in Tuesdays primaries/caucuses? I fear this scenario:

Obama gets his blind following 40%

Santorum/Romney get conservative bloc 40%

Obama gets 5% of remaining as a "hold my nose vote"

The other 15% don't show up.

Is there anything new to say about Obummer?  that 15% will get pretty tired of the same ol' same ol' and just won't show up.

I sure hope there are messages of optimism cause I do believe that "he who flings mud, loses ground"

WE ARE NO LONGER POLICE MEN TO THE WORLD. WE HELPED EGYIT NOW THEY ARE HOLDING 19 AMERICIANS,. EXCUSE MY SPELLING ON OR IN SOME OF MY BLOGS , I DO NOT SPELL CHECK.

WE WILL END UP LIKE GREESE.   BUILD THE PIPE LINE,  QUIT PLAYING POLITICS DEMOCRATS. VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS COMING NOVEMBER.

I didn't  write this. I copied it from someone's facebook post, but it's so good I'm sharing it here.

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever had.

Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!! Congressional benefits, aka. free health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!!.....scroll down..............

Emergency Rooms for their general healthcare -At just one hospital the cost to taxpayers totaled over $25 million a year!!!

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this.country!!!!!!

 We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????

 In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey ..

And now Pakistan ,home of binLaden. Literally,BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and

religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of  Food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption 

of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment etc,etc.

YET......................

They have a 'Benefit'  for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes,

bedding, doctors and medical.supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

   SAD?

YEAH, OK, SO WHEN DO WE GET PISSED AND

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?????

 9% of people won't have the guts to forward this.

I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did

“….If foreign countries are allowed to have one-sided Trade Agreements, and if foreign companies can compete against American companies sans fair trade, and if American companies don’t care about the economic future of their own country, and if the executives of U.S. companies are unconcerned about the well-being of the American taxpayers who rescued them, and if American consumers fail to understand the value of “Buying American”, and if the two major parties in Congress allow all this to continue unabated…..then the United States is doomed. …“ 

                                                                                H. Michael Hervey, Chairman, CP-USA 

The Conservative Party (CP-USA) asks all Americans to help revive our economy by taking proactive steps to create and retain jobs in the United States.

No other political party or presidential candidate has officially adopted a common sense policy that encourages U.S. multi-national corporations to rethink their exclusive focus on quarterly profits and consider the economic health of the United States and their own long-term viability.  

CP-USA firmly believes that legitimate profit motive is compatible with Economic Patriotism.  Simply stated, Economic Patriotism is a policy that:  Reduces regulatory and tax burdens on small businesses; Provides tax incentives to U.S. corporations to hire Americans to work in America; Encourages Boards and shareholders to recognize the value and profitability of keeping jobs in America; Educates the American public about the high cost of cheap imports and the long-term value of “Buying American” and; Imposes “Reciprocal” duties/tariffs on foreign imports to level the trade playing field .  

Practicing Economic Patriotism is the only way America can survive in a global economy in which foreign countries are dedicated to eclipsing the Unites States.  As the world’s sole beacon of true Democracy, human rights, free market capitalism and mutually beneficial fair trade, Americans must not allow that to happen.       

When foreign countries negotiate trade deals with the U.S. they consider what’s good for their citizens, what’s good for their companies and what’s good for their economies (Nationalism).  When Americans negotiate foreign trade deals, however, we only consider what’s good for a company, its shareholders and senior management.  There is no consideration whatsoever for rank & file employees or how the U.S. economy and the America people will benefit.  The only things GE, Intel, HP or Goldman-Sachs care about is the next Quarter’s profit and how much they can reduce labor costs by off-shoring jobs.   If continued, these short-sighted policies will render Americans too poor to purchase the imported products manufactured by those American companies.    

Foreign nations naturally care about their own economic future, the viability of their companies and well being of their citizens; they’re unconcerned about America’s future or world standing.  Sadly, American corporations think the same way; they also don’t consider America’s future.  GE earned billions in the U.S. market in 2010 yet worked overtime to avoid paying any income taxes.  Although U.S. taxpayers rescued many American companies from financial collapse in 2009, many of those same companies now sequester hundreds of billions offshore to avoid taxes even during America’s budget/debt crisis.  Unlike the post-WW II era when “Wall Street” supported American firms and helped make the U.S an economic superpower, “Wall Street” is disconnected from “Main Street” in every sense today.  In short, there is no concept of Economic Patriotism.

If foreign countries are allowed to have one-sided Trade Agreements, and if foreign companies can compete against American companies sans fair trade, and if American companies don’t care about the economic future of their own country, and if the executives of U.S. companies are unconcerned about the well-being of the American taxpayers who rescued them, and if American consumers fail to understand the value of “Buying American”, and if the two major parties in Congress allow all this to continue unabated…..then the United States is doomed.  

Think about this: The United States does not have a trade surplus with any nation on earth.  That’s why America’s trade deficit jumped 38% in 2010 to $498B.  Americans must realize that international trade is rigged against the United States due to state-subsidized industries and less-than-favorable duties/tariffs.    International free trade is only “fair” trade when all countries play by the same rules.  Congress should enact trade laws that Reciprocates (copies) all fees on imported products.  Example: If Japan levies 18% taxes/duties/tariffs on American imports, the U.S. should “reciprocate” by imposing 18% on all Japanese imports.  Reciprocity levels the playing field and will make foreign countries rethink their trade practices.  

Congress must also recognize that burdensome union and environmental regulations hinder rapid economic recovery.  The U.S. Business & Industry Council studied 111 U.S. based manufacturing companies from 1997-2009. It found that only nine of those 111 companies (8%) actually grew their domestic market share.  American total production fell 64% and domestic market share eroded to 56%.  Considering that 15% of all domestic production was by foreign companies based in the U.S., the picture is even more dismal.  America is also becoming more dependent on foreign countries for critical products like high-performance microchips, specialty steels and rare earth metals. This economic reality is not solely a trade or jobs issue; it also imperils our national security. 

Too many Americans wrongly believe in the “Innovation is the key to new jobs” myth.  The ugly truth is that even when Americans do innovate and create hot new products or services (PC, iPad, Google, Tablets, Twitter, iPhone, Groupon, etc.), most of the manufacturing and customer service/technical support jobs go off-shore.  While very important, innovation does not guarantee long-term job growth because corporations ship those jobs to China or India.  Although U.S. companies demand that Americans get retrained, get more education, get more productive and take pay cuts, they have only one demand of foreign workers: show up for work. 

Economic Patriotism is the only way to rectify the perils facing America today.  Someone must speak for America and the Conservative Party stands ready.   It’s time to “Come Home America”.

American patriotism is traditionally understood as a healthy devotion to our liberties in this
wonderful Republic of the United States! For all those who are interested in making our
government more efficient and reducing cost, it is past time for 'We the People' to demand
that the present state of the affairs, be returned to the original directives of our 'founding-
Fathers'!

It is and always has been effective to use conservative and practical methods to reorganize;
streamline; and eliminate wherever possible. As our government has been allowed to take
an almost unchecked rampant expansion since the conclusion of World War II, it is very
obvious that things have escalated to overload. And I'm sure, that most citizens realize
that we have all over-looked, and not been completely cognizant or responsible to watch
the almost uncontrolled development of governmental gridlock at every level.

Yes, we all recognize that we have a monumental problem, that is long overdue for a
complete change. The most direct way to accomplish this would be to eliminate or
abolish every unconstitutional, harmful, and unnecessary Cabinet Departments. Such
as the abolishment of Education Department; Energy; Housing and Urban Development;
and the Department of Homeland Security.

Abolish the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The hard-wired message is to
say simply....................! The DHS was created, one year after “9/11”, it lumped 22
agencies from other departments to improve efficiency and coordination. It has failed
dismally........
The budget jumped from $19.5 Billion dollars in 2002 to an astounding $44.1
Billion in 2010.
In fact, it's has become one of the newest avenues for pork-barrel. Only 25%
of anti-terrorism 'grants' to local governments actually goes to terrorism
prevention and response.
Many of the agencies have only a minor or tangential roles in possible
terrorist attacks or response, and 'DHS overseas' has far-flung responsibilities
from anti-counterfeiting, all the way to flu epidemics.
It hasn't protected us from terrorism; most of the foiled attempts, or 'terror
plots' were really accomplished as sting operations by the FBI!
Neither the CIA, NSA, nor even the FBI(a domestic agency) has been placed
under the DHS umbrella.
Which makes a coordinated, DHS-led antiterrorism strategy impossible;
leaving the FBI and CIA out defeats the very purpose of the DHS. How do
I know? Well, during the Viet-Nam War, I was envolved, by being a member of
the USAFSS(Security Service), which were directly associated with the CIA, OSI,
NSA, CID, NCIS, and the FBI! Although that is almost Fifty years ago, I still
know a few, in high-places!

The DHS is funding pernicious, totalitarian Minority Report-style 'pre-crime'
experiments.
The DHS funds have become 'fusion centers', which create reports about
possible breeding grounds of terrorism. They include everything from third
parties, the Tea Party and anti-tea party groups, even student groups at
historically black college, the Aryan Brotherhood, Black Panthers, the Weather-
men, and street gangs.

In other words, ANYONE, who dissents or is dissatisfied with the status-quorum, might
be a terrorist. Such assessment reflects the paranoid minds of the 'Statist-bureaucrats'
and their political bosses, rather than reality. Like everyone else, don't get me started
on the abuses and humiliations inflicted by the TSA!

Probably the most offensive problem is relegated to the name, the word “Homeland”
to many Americans, including myself, evokes the insanity-of the Neo-Nazi 'blood
and soil' Fatherland; instead of patriotism, it congers up the Cold-War nationalism
or totalitarianism. Traditionally, American Patriotism is understood as devotion to
republican liberty

Certainly does gives one cause to wonder, what was the initial use of the word
“Homeland”intended?.........is it conditioning us for tyrannical rule?

No one wants to be perceived as “against security”! But this does not justify the
continued wanton waste, fraud and abuse of the DHS. As the truth is now being
told, the DHS has no real reason for existence. This is plainly evident for too
many other agencies; and it is time to get rid of all the 'so-called Czar's'. Some
need to be completely abolished, along with the DHS!

This brings to mind, the tale~ “Once upon a time, a small boy declared the truth
that no one in the realm, dared to utter--'The Emperor has no clothes'!” We need
to see that type of courage in all of our elected officials. The DHS is exposed.
Will our congressmen, both the House of Representatives and the Senate, stand
and be counted as proud warrior's that can be trusted, to properly represent our
Nation! May GOD Bless America!

WE KNOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL DO AS WE SAT,  PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THIS COMING NOVEMBER.  THANK YOU.

In the past few days, while much attention is on the primaries, POTUS has done something I as a Catholic and retired military veteran am infuriated with.  To tell chaplains they must support gay marriage; to tell chaplains they cannot read the letter from the Catholic leadership that discusses the Catholic stance against the government mandates of abortion and contraception; to turn down the request from the Bishop, who requested of POTUS personally, to allow the chaplains to read the letter from their religious leaders to the military congregations; this is ALL in violation of the first amendment.  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,..  Telling military chaplains of the Catholic faith they cannot follow their religious teachings?  IS THAT NOT PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE??  And if the cheap ambulance chasing lawyer side of the POTUS even thinks for one moment that HIM saying no is not the congress passing laws, then here's a couple of facts to refute.

1) POTUS signs approval for any law that comes from the Congress, so he IS bound by the first amendment clause.

2) IF he thinks his verbal direction to the chaplains is NOT making a law, then we do NOT have to follow ANY one of the executive orders he has shoved down our throats.  I mean, hey!  If one thing he directs is not a law, then NOTHING he directs is a law.

We all have certain enthusiasms in liberty.  Tea party involvement, conservative activities, rallies, getting involved in elections and every way we have; they all show our enthusiasm to replace POTUS.  That enthusiasm makes our human nature rise way above everything.  Our acts of honor, integrity, bravery and heroism shine through, and our elation in victory makes it that much sweeter.  But, we must not forget our strengths: family, friends, and most of all our Creator.  As Jesus said, we MUST love the Lord our God with all our hearts, soul and mind.  This is a command from our savior.  A COMMAND.  He is above any leader of any nation on earth.  So His word is prime.  That is why the pilgrims came to America - religious freedom.  That is why the first amendment discusses the freedom of religion BEFORE it discusses the freedom of speech - religious freedom. 

We all have the opportunity to get involved.  It is true that we always did have this opportunity.  But we did not recognize the need.  Well, our ostrich heads are out of the sand, and for the last four years we have taken notice.  The time to restore our Constitution, our economy, and our strength as the greatest nation the world has ever seen is NOW.  Get involved.  Run for office.  Volunteer.  Write.  Discuss. Don't be violent, but don't be silent.  We are the people of WE THE PEOPLE.  Let's conduct ourselves as such and take back our country.

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL

Tom Kiley

VOTE WITH YOUR TEA PARTY.  VOTE FOR OUR FREEDOM.  PLEASE.

sharing no more

We can't allow this to happen. If support for Israel isn't stressed in the campaign, it's less likely to be a priority after the election. Our candidates need to hear that the American people want them to stand with Israel now more than ever. We must remind the candidates that Israel is a bastion of freedom and democracy in a despotic Middle East. We must stress that Israel is our first line of defense against enemies devoted to attacking America and killing Americans. When Israel battles Hezbollah and Hamas, its battling Iranian-backed terrorist groups which have American blood on their hands. When Israel sounds the alarm about Iran, it's focusing our attention on the greatest strategic threat to America and the West! And we must emphasize that unlike so many of our allies, Israel has never asked for American soldiers to fight and die in her defense. All Israel has ever asked is the ability to defend herself by herself. In so doing, these Israeli soldiers are actually defending us.
If we want our candidates to honor the U.S.-Israel relationship, then we need to put it back on their radar!

Please ~ Defend America-Vote Israel petition's! Contact one of the representatives that are
helping Rev. John Hagee, to circulate the petitions, that will be forwarded to Washington D.C.

Please ~ Remember to also sign the petitions to overturn 'Roe vs. Wade' !

Secret Slush Fund Used To Revamp
Congressmen's Backyards!

ALERT: Members Of Congress Rob Taxpayer Coffers To Increase Their Property Values!

Tell Congress: Cut The Fat! NO MORE EXCUSES:
It's Time To Get Rid Of Pork Barrel Spending FOR REAL!

While regular Americans can't sell their homes for pennies on the dollar, members of Congress are using our hard-earned tax dollars to increase the values of their land, vacation homes, personal residences and businesses!

A Washington Post investigation reveals that 33 members of Congress have directed more than over $401 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers' own property.

Over a year after Washington supposedly got rid of earmarks, these slick elected officials have already found a way around the ban. They're inserting special funds in spending bills that give funds to public works projects in their states. These Capitol Hill crooks have created an enormous slush fund for their own personal profit.

Tell Congress: Cut The Fat! NO MORE EXCUSES:
It's Time To Get Rid Of Pork Barrel Spending FOR REAL!

The Washington Post reveals more details about these shameless schemes...

• Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D - Calif). Over the past decade, the House minority leader helped secure $50 millionin earmarks toward a light-rail project that provides direct access to San Francisco's Union Square and Chinatown for neighborhoods south of Market Street. Pelosi's husband owns a four-story commercial building blocks from Union Square.
• Sen. Harry Reid (D- Nev). In 2004 and 2005, the Senate majority leader secured $21.5 millionto build a bridge over the Colorado River, linking the gambling resort town of Laughlin, Nev., with Bullhead City, Ariz. Reid owns 160 acres of undeveloped land in Bullhead City.
• Rep. Steve Israel (D - N.Y). The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair - In 2008, Israel earmarked $490,000 to study a bypass road to ease congestion along a busy commercial corridor that borders the congressman's neighborhood in Dix Hills.

Tell Congress: Cut The Fat! NO MORE EXCUSES:
It's Time To Get Rid Of Pork Barrel Spending FOR REAL!

What part of "stop the spending" does Congress not understand?

We are facing trillion dollar plus deficits and a mind-numbing $15 trillion dollar debt... Washington is borrowing over $3.98 billion dollars per day - more than $2 million per minute...

....And now we learn that much of the pork is helping to line the pockets of the very politicians who pass it.

It's outrageous!

And that is precisely why patriotic Americans like you can't give up the fight. Now is the time to turn up the heat.

Along with their ever-present accusation that anyone who criticizes or disagrees with America's first black president is a racist, class envy is the centerpiece of Obama's re-election campaign.

It is extremely disheartening that the president of the United States believes he can win the votes of a majority of Americans by exploiting the sin of covetousness and hatred for the rich. In every speech, Obama claims that the rich are not paying their fair share. Please excuse my frankness, but Obama is lying.

Here are the facts.

Half the country -- yes, I said half -- do not pay taxes at all. Zero! The majority of federal income taxes (70%) are paid by the top 10 percent of income-earners. http://bit.ly/pgh5Wh As for Obama's claim that we can solve America's financial problems by forcing the rich to pay more, it is despicable, manipulative, and hate-inspiring nonsense. There are only 8,000 Americans who earn over 10 million dollars per year. If Obama confiscated all their money, it would finance our government for only 24 days. Then what?

What group of Americans will Obama attack next by trashing and demonizing them to gain public approval to confiscate everything for which they have worked hard, suffered, sacrificed and risked all for "government" redistribution?

Our national debt has tripled since Obama has been in office. Now, I know that that does not mean a lot to most Americans. Well, allow me to put it in perspective. Every minute, we spend 3 million dollars that we do not have, borrowing most of it from China. Every minute! Our debt is bankrupting the future and enslaving our great-great-great-grandkids.

So, you can understand why I find Obama's rants about the rich not paying enough and how people will die unless Republicans raise the debt ceiling so disingenuous and unsupportable.

But there is a much greater issue at hand. Who does this man (Obama) think, we, the American people, are? The Obama administration and his media minions are trying to convince us that the entitlement-minded OWS lowlifes represent "mainstream Americans." They are lying.

I represent mainstream Americans. I began working when I was about ten years old. I had a paper route and worked pulling copper out of old motors for my neighbor across the street, Mr. Buddy-Roy, in his backyard. At 15, my dad got me a work permit, and I acquired my first real job during the summer at Park Sign Co. in Baltimore. There I learned how to silk-screen signs.

Interesting sidebar: experience prompted Berry, the owner of Park Sign, to always get his money upfront for political signs, because if the candidate did not win the race, Berry would not get paid.

Back to my point. Like me, most Americans do not believe they are entitled to the fruits of a fellow American's labor. And yet, this is who Obama thinks we are and desires us to be.

We all remember our classmates who smoked dope, cut classes, and dropped out versus the kids who studied, worked hard, and became doctors. According to Obama, in his "community organizer" way of thinking, the Democratic party, and the Occupiers, the kid who became a doctor is a selfish, greedy rich person who achieved his success on the backs of the poor dope-smoking dropouts.

Please do not think I am saying everyone who is poor smokes dope. Reasonable people get my point.

Obama and company have launched a war on achievement, portraying the highly successful as selfish villains and everyone else as lowly peasant-saints who are suffering because the rich are hogging it all. Clearly, Obama is exploiting man's susceptibility to the sin of covetousness. And to all you Christians who buy into Obama's "fairness" garbage, shame on you. Jesus was not a socialist.

When Judas scolded Mary for pouring her expensive ointment on Jesus' feet rather than selling it and giving the money to the poor, Jesus scolded Judas, saying, "The poor you will have with you always." In essence, Jesus was saying there will always be those who smoke dope, cut classes, and drop out of school. Liberals' relentless efforts to legislate equal outcomes never work. For one thing, humans are diverse in their desires.

The Obama and company vision for America is incompatible with what has made us great. Do we really want to become a nation where government dictates and caps wealth, which they redistribute equally? Heck no!

Freedom to be all one can be is the magic ingredient which has made us the most extraordinarily successful nation on the planet. America is a guy laboring in his basement to build a better mousetrap in an effort to improve the fortunes of his family and himself. Great wealth is his reward for providing rodent relief to millions. If the Obama administration confiscates huge chunks of the successful mousetrap-maker's profits, what incentive is there for him to invest more time, funds, blood, sweat, and tears to improve his product?

It is extremely depressing and sad to think of our great country becoming as Obama sees us -- a nation of entitlement-minded losers, all dependent and helpless without government. As I stated, that is not who we are as a people. We are Americans!

Incredibly, we have a leftist president who simply does not get it. We must vote Obama out in November 2012.

"What's frustrated people is that I have not be able to force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008,"

"That's just the nature of being president," he said. "It turns out that our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.

This is the President that said he was bringing hope and change and get everyone to work together.

I will bring people together.

President Obama said he can't accomplish everything he wants because there is this thing called the the Constitution in the way. Should we start saying "Sieg Heil"?

Thank you.

Germany went bankrupt doing Obama’s thing. Hitler took control. He found banks willing to loan him money to build a war machine.  America’s politicians found the same banks willing to loan money to build a war machine. Banks gave us World War II. What a way to create jobs! Why are we now subjecting ourselves to the whims of politicians and bankers?  If you call this saving the economy, you don’t know history.  We’re told that the recession is ending. Who is telling us? People who want your vote. Why would it be ending? Because recessions always end? Again, you don’t know history.  With the rise of Nazi Germany, Germany’s Jews lived in hope.  Six million of them died in despair.  That’s history. I don’t know of anything Obama has said that has come true.  The help government is giving us is the worst government can do.  But what do I know?  I’m just a bottom fish.

I’m wondering why we should ever retire; why, instead of waiting for the day when we can retire, doing work we don’t want to do, why we should not work toward work we enjoy? Writing a book has been work. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.  It shouldn’t be government’s decision to decide when we are old enough to retire, or to pay for our heath care, not anymore than government should pay for our haircuts. 

 All of this government help has come during my lifetime. It started during the Great Depression, as emergency assistance. There is utterly no reason for government to have remained our caretaker after the emergency ended.   It was better in many ways before the government got into our personal lives.  

Young people don’t know the truth of the matter. For one thing, my mother was always there for me.  No one but the very rich paid any tax on their incomes. It took only one income earner to support a family. The family was the cornerstone of America.  In order to help us out, after the American dream was well on its way in the years after World War II, wolves in sheep’s clothing had as their scheme the printing of monopoly money and calling it legal tender.  Government and private bankers, in an unholy alliance, printed paper money like mad, which was not backed by gold. Roosevelt took America off the gold standard. After the dollar became the world standard, tricky Dickey Nixon took the dollar of the gold standard in foreign nations. It meant American’s wolves in sheep’s clothing, in cahoots with the Fed, could continue printing money like mad. Foreign governments couldn’t do the same. Their paper money was not the standard.  This absolute fraud helped America’s growing hierarchy, and at everyone else’s expense.

The Fed’s printing presses became a double edge sword against America’s liberties. Inflation, at the same time a tax in and of itself, also made everyone working an income tax payer. It took higher incomes to buy the same in goods and services.  This flimflam, Obama tells us, was for the nutty reason of “fairly” redistributing the wealth of the nation.  The proof is in the pudding.  It’s the worst thing that could ever happen.  It bought the American people with their own sweat. What has government got to show for its answer? The cure is more of the same for people hooked on government help.

Here we were, Karen and I, against the advice of our friends, gypsies, having the time of our lives—not a care in the world. We flew the coop.  Retirement should be our decision. Why retire at all? Why not work toward work we enjoy? Why not take leisure time to enjoy the things we like? Why not live in an RV and travel? It’s your choice—at any age. Karen and I are living proof that life can be far better if you look within for your answers. In An Experiential Guide by James Redfield and Carol Adrienne: “Your deeply held dreams and goals are part of the purpose that brought you to this lifetime.”  This doesn’t say you are here for the good of all. The good of all is chains and shackles talk. It is Obama talk. Give yourself a break. Look within for your answers.

YOU TURNED IT AROUND, WE ARE NOT A SOCIALIST NATION YET,  AND NEVER WILL BE.   VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS NOVEMBER.
