From a guy in Texas:

My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.). So this past spring I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party.

The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to make me take down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such
action without a court order and that he had to file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed by the city attorney to see if it violated any city, county, or state ordinances, which if there was a violation a court order would be sent to the offending party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days."

After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made him madder.
I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even more angry.  I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship
(notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome.

Posted by william uthe on September 9, 2011 at 12:52pm

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH WAS AS USUAL "LET CHARLIE DO IT" HE CALLED FOR AN IMMEDIATE PASSAGE OF A JOBS BILL HE DID NOT WRITE AND DID NOT EXIST.  IN OTHER WORDS "DO AS I SAY, DONT THINK ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT" AND HE CALLS HIMSELF A BIPARTISAN AMERICAN. IT SEEMS THAT HE INSULTS THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL AMERICANS WITH HIS ORATORITICAL SKILLS IN LECTURING.  NO HE DIDN'T DISAPOINT ME, HE JUST REINFORCED MY ORIGINAL IMPRESSION OF HIM AS AN EMPTY SUIT LECTURER.  WELL, HE IS FINDING OUT THAT THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT FOLLOW BLINDLY, THANKS TO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT. LETS KEEP BOMBARDING HIM WITH OUR GOD GIVEN INDIVIDUAL INTELLECT BECAUSE THIS DISPLAY OF FREE THINKING AND THE BALLOT BOX ARE PUTTING THE FEAR OF LOSING IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THOSE MINDLESS FOLLOWERS OF THE CHOSEN ONE. THATS WHY THEU KEEP ATTACKING US WITH THEIR GARBAGE MOUTHS.

HE IS ALL FOR JOB CREATION THAT WILL SATISFY HIS BIG UNION BUDDIES AND SCREW EVERYBODY EVERY BODY ELSE.

The plain and simple truth.

Hes got his ideas …

There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: 
soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. 

Please use in that order.

Bill Cosby has a great way of "distilling" things.  
Looks like he's done it again!    


AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!


         
I  HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012. 

HERE IS MY PLATFORM: 


(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English'  is immediately BANNED!!!    English  is  the official language;   speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can. 

(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist  attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports,  and we'll do no exports.     We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy,  
'If  we  ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here! 


(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here. 


(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States  (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not  to fire on  SOUTH BOUND  aliens. 


(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state.   If you didn't put nuttin in, you AIN'T getting nuttin out.  Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it. 


(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades. 


(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids?  The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life. 


(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method,  i.e.,  the  first time you steal,  you lose your right hand.  There is no more 'life sentences'.  If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation,  etc. 

(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat.  However, a bushel of wheat will be the EXACT price of a barrel of oil. 

(10).  All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes.  When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause. 


(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will  be said EVERY day atschool and  every day in CONGRESS. 


(12). The National Anthem  will  be played at all appropriate ceremonies,  sporting events,  outings, etc. 


My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... nevertheless..... 


GOD BLESS AMERICA !

Sincerely,  Bill Cosby  
                                          
                                      
Please forward this to everyone you know, no matter which side of the fence they're on.  

  
 
 

   To those I keep in touch with regularly - enjoy.  to those who I send to occasionally - I think of you much more often than you know. 
This was contributed to Bill Cosby in 2008. It is not written by him or does it say what he thinks. No one knows who actually wrote it but Bill Cosby if you know anything about him does not think anything like this. Although I wish that we had a candidate that would think like this. I would vote for he or she in a heartbeat. This writing is a falsehood.

Disappointing Speech with Predictable Results

Posted by Kent Nichols on September 9, 2011 at 9:57am

The President called a joint session of Congress to announce a plan with no details.  What is up with that? If you want to know the country’s response to the President’s latest plan, take a look at the stock market today. 

 

Let’s think about this for a minute.  The last time we were asked to “pass the plan” we were told that we would learn the details after it got passed, we had no idea how it would be paid for or the true costs.  How did that work out for the American people?  I’m sorry, but I will not be going back for a second helping at that buffet. 

 

Stop talking Mr. President!  No one is interested in the partisan rhetoric anymore and every time you speak the stock market plummets.

Greed Runs Amuck as Union Members Authorize STRIKE Against Ford!

Posted by john lillpop on September 9, 2011 at 7:49am
ford.jpg










By John W. Lillpop

With 14-26 million Americans unemployed and or underemployed, one would expect an ‘attitude of gratitude’ among workers still holding jobs, especially those being paid an average of $58 per hour.

However, unionized auto workers in Detroit have grown accustomed to enjoying unreasonable wages and benefits, courtesy of thugs who operate the United Auto Workers union.

So what if the unemployment rate is 9.1 percent?

Who cares if America is plunging into a double-dip recession?

Only a fool would fall for the propaganda which admonishes those doing well to ‘pay their fair share.”

With that brazen disregard for the facts, the UAW has authorized a strike against Ford Motors, as reported, in part, at the reference:

The image of UAW workers with picket signs touting unfair wages is something that no one wants to see, but the possibility now exists thanks to a union vote that authorizes Ford workers to strike if negotiations between the auto maker and the UAW break down. While the issue of wages and negotiations with unions can be terse, this round of labor talks has a new flavor that we have not experienced in a while, and the implications of these issues may give Ford a negotiating edge.

When the government stepped in and bailed out GM and Chrysler with an infusion of cash, there were certain concessions made by the UAW. The bailout allowed the companies to survive and even revamp their businesses. It also prevented the union from striking against GM and Chrysler. Through that period, Ford became somewhat of a shining star by not taking any bailout money. Ford's reward for taking the harder route is that the UAW, in negotiations with all three makers, can strike.

This reason, while perhaps sentimental, is one key negotiating tool that Ford has in Ford's cap. The perception that the union will punish Ford, the company that did not take a bailout, would leave a stigma on the UAW that could take years to erase. It is the classic mantra that no good deed goes unpunished. This mantra is something that people in America are growing tired of, in particular because of the state of the economy.

A more fundamental reason that the author does not see a strike happening is the fact that Ford employees are the highest paid in the industry, and the "Big Three" have a higher average pay than many competitors. This makes it hard for the UAW to complain about pay, and even more difficult to complain that Ford is not paying well enough. According to The Center for Automotive Research, Ford has labor costs of $58 per hour, while Japanese competitor Toyota comes in at $55. The $3 per hour may not seem like much, but when spread over thousands of workers for tens of thousands of hours, the numbers get big quickly.

One compliant of the UAW is that merit raises and a 401(k) match were reinstated for salaried employees but not union members. However, the union neglects to state that UAW workers received profit-sharing checks averaging $5,000 in 2010. The argument that the union has is that this is a "one-time" perk and not the same as getting a merit raise.”

Thus, the media-created image of greed as a fat-cat, Republican parasite who thrives by not paying his or her fair share, needs to be updated.

Today, the greedy are dim-witted auto workers who earn six-figure incomes, vote straight Democrat, and are dumb enough to vote to strike when a bona fide economic depression is bearing down on America.

Only in America, only by Democrat puppets!

DOJ in bed with Islamic supremacist groups!

Posted by Jake Martinez on September 9, 2011 at 7:30am

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on WND.com-By Pamela Geller-On September 6, 2011:

“While doing research for my new book, “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance,” I discovered some startling information about the full extent of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the Department of Justice and its brazen pro-Muslim activities. And when I inquired for documentation related to these activities, the DOJ’s response to me indicated that the agency’s ties with Islamic supremacist groups in the U.S. are far more extensive than anyone has realized.

I was especially interested in DOJ actions extending certain civil-rights laws to Muslims in voting, particularly insofar as they involved the DOJ’s Lema Bashir. Essentially, they wanted to convert a religious class into a racial one, to create majority-Muslim legislative districts. Lema Bashir was at the center of Virginia’s failing to mail military ballots in time in 2008. The same mistakes were repeated in 2010, and United States military voters were heavily disenfranchised because of calculated inaction by Bashir and the DOJ throughout 2010. Disenfranchising the military vote is policy. You could make a case that bad mistakes were made in 2008, but when those same mistakes were made and made worse in 2010 by a devout Muslim who calls Israel “northern Palestine,” I submit that it is no accident, but deliberate policy.

There seemed to be no way they could withhold the documents whose existence I discovered, so on Feb. 28, 2011, I made a Freedom of Information Act request. I wrote to Nelson Hermilla, the chief of the FOIA branch of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

I asked him for “all communications between any employee of the Civil Rights Division and the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA], the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR], the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee [ADC], the Muslim Students Association [MSA] or any affiliated student group. In particular, but not limited to, the request includes all communications related to appearances at or sponsorships of conventions or meetings of this organizations by the Department of Justice including conferences in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.”

ISNA and CAIR, of course, were named unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation jihad terror funding case. The MSA is a Muslim Brotherhood organization. They’re the last groups the DOJ should be working with.

I also asked Hermilla to provide “transcripts of speeches delivered by Civil Rights Division political appointees or section managers at any meeting of the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Muslim Students Association or any affiliated student group. If transcripts of such appearances do not exist, please provide a list of such appearances instead.” And for “resumes of all attorney and intern hires in the Civil Rights Division in which the resumes list prior employment at the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or the Muslim Students Association.” In addition, I requested “all travel authorization forms, expense submissions and records of payment for any Department employee to attend any convention, conference or meeting with or at the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee,” and “any memorandum, document, email, telephone conference record or proposal discussing the use of civil rights laws in the Housing Section, Voting Section, and Education Section to use laws enforced by these sections to bring cases or potential cases on behalf of a protected class defined as Arab or Muslim or Islamic.” I asked him to “include any documents which discuss the applicability of civil rights laws to these classes from these three sections.”

Specifically, I asked for “records relating to the meeting of the ‘Monthly Outreach Meeting’ (or a regular occurring meeting organized by the Civil Rights Division with substantially the same purpose even if it is referred to with a different name inside the Department) with Muslim and Arab groups at the Civil Rights Division. Specifically, include lists of attendees at each monthly meeting, the agenda of each meeting and any minutes or summary prepared subsequent to each meeting. Please also specifically note the meetings at which the Attorney General of the United States attended.”

I asked for all such records dating back to 2006.

I knew these documents existed, indicating broad collaboration between the Justice Department and Muslim Brotherhood groups, and this was confirmed on April 29, 2011, when the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division finally responded to my request. Nelson Hermilla wrote me that “clearly your request encompasses thousands of records. The total located on a preliminary search totals 14,100 documents. Each document likely contains numerous pages.” Hermilla also complained that “it is not clear in what manner the collection of all five-year’s records might contribute to the general public understanding.” He explained that these documents would only be made available to me if I paid $1,400.

This is astounding. I made a fairly narrow request, narrowed down to specific groups and carefully defined activity that the Civil Rights Division doesn’t even have direct jurisdiction over – “Muslim Outreach” – and they come up with 14,100 matching documents. A knowledgeable Justice Department insider told me: “You couldn’t generate 14,000 pages of documents if you asked for communications with lenders or apartment or hotels as part of the Housing Section enforcement activities. There are very few things in Civil Rights that would generate 14,000 pages of anything. It has got to be a treasure trove of information.”

Indeed. It is also remarkable that the Justice Department would deny that these records would advance “the general public understanding.” Given the increasing number of cases in which Shariah is used in American courts and the Obama Justice Department’s assistance of stealth jihad, Islamic supremacist legal initiatives, this claim is extremely flimsy.

I intend to pursue this matter until the shameful records of this infiltration are made available to the American people.”

Obama's Despicable Jobs Speech

Posted by Lloyd Marcus on September 9, 2011 at 5:53am

4063377040?profile=originalObama's jobs speech was reminiscent of a cliché scene in cowboy movies. A loud mouth guy stands on the steps of the jail-house and enrages the crowd to overrule the sheriff, drag out the prisoner and hang him without a trial.

 

Obama used his bully pulpit to say, in essence, if those Republican S.O. Bs do not pass my jobs bill immediately without review, they should be politically lynched. Unquestionably, Obama's speech had a bully edge to it. Pass my jobs bill NOW!

 

Obama lied about all of the freebies in his jobs bill being “paid for” just as he did to pass Obamacare.

 

In his typical manipulative deceptive fashion, Obama said several “right things” such as government getting out of the way of small business while his administration does the complete opposite.

 

The center piece of Obama's speech was his despicable signature exploitation of class envy and demoni-zation of the rich. Obama in his speech reduced the American Dream to being a union worker with good wages and benefits. Obviously, Obama considered entrepreneurs with higher aspirations to be part of the problem. How dare they seek to have more than anyone else? To each according to his needs. Scary. Very scary and evil.

 

As expected, Obama's job speech was written using the left's same old play book. We Tea Party patriots knew what Obama was going to say in his “jobs speech” before he delivered it.

 

OK class, what will be Obama's minions next move to force Republicans to pass his jobs bill NOW? I hear you yelling the correct answer. You guys are toooo cool, tooo smart and right on target! I give you all an A+. Obama's minions will proclaim everyone questioning Obama's job bill to be racist.

 

Folks, this president is divisive and evil. We must vote him out in 2012. God bless.

Obama's new game

Posted by Ralph Crossen on September 9, 2011 at 3:33am
Obama's speach was 80 percent as expected but with a new twist. He advocated spending on roads, bridges, teachers, firefighters and police which translates to unions. Throw some money at it and it will get better for a while. The problem is that it won't last. After the money is spent, the municipalities will be faced with either continuing these jobs or laying off all these new employees. The government has no way to support the unions like this without it becoming an unfunded mandate on the cities and towns. The new twist though involves how he will pay for it. True to form he doesn't want to inflame any group so he doesn't do it. Instead he says that his new deficit reduction group will figure it out. If you remember, this group of 12 is tasked with finding cuts and if they can't, ( 6 Dems and 6 Reps on the committee) the cuts will come out of defense and medicaid equally. So what do you think will happen? It looks like his plan is, by doing this, to gut defense and medicaid without ever being blamed for it. This, gutting defense, I believe has been his plan all along. The man is no leader, he throws up these I have a dream speaches and doesn't dare say I have to cut here or there in order to achieve the dream. He thinks that this way when things implode he can once again point to gridlock as the reason.

Obama Speech As Seen by a Common Citizen: Recycled Peas!

Posted by john lillpop on September 8, 2011 at 7:45pm
By John W. Lillpop

During the bloody war over increasing the federal debt ceiling, President Obama warned Americans that it was ‘Time to eat your peas,” a homey reminder of the difficult times and choices that this nation faces.

In delivering his jobs speech to a Joint Session of Congress on Thursday, Obama amplified on that theme with a slight twist: Time for recycled Peas, America!

As always, Obama was eloquent and passionate.

Regrettably, the president’s words, though terrific in terms of style and oratory flare, were more of the same, tired old liberal pap that has damn near destroyed the greatest nation in the world.

His words make it clear why America’s credit rating was downgraded for the first time in U.S. history.

His failure to face reality and assume a genuine leadership role explains why our nation has slipped to fifth place in competitiveness according to the World Economic Forum’s rankings.

For years, Obama has argued against the notion of American Exceptionalism. Through his failed policies, Obama appears to be making his point, much to the chagrin and detriment of 300 million Americans.

Despite the much-touted ‘Summer of Recovery’ and failed trillion-dollar stimulus, America continues to bleed jobs:

Ford Motors Company has announced a billion-dollar construction project—in India.

General Electric is moving headquarters of a highly-successful, medical-imaging business from Waukesha, Wisconsin, to China.

The U.S. Postal Service is on the brink of collapse and has plans to lay off 120,000 employees.

While a part of the USPS problem is the loss of business to the Internet, the major problem is employee costs mandated by labor agreements with labor unions.

And so it is all across America: Unreasonable pensions and labor costs demanded by labor unions are bankrupting government municipalities and private business alike, forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work.

Why, then, did the president fail to challenge greedy unionized labor members to ‘pay their fair share?’

Why not propose a ‘windfall profits tax’ on obscene, unsustainable pensions that are wreaking economic havoc from coast to coast?

Then there is the president’s mindless pandering to illegal aliens, presumably to savor favor with Hispanics.

With 16-28 million Americas underemployed and or unemployed, why is this president working to stall, or eliminate, the removal of millions of aliens who have no moral or legal basis for being in America?

Why the push for a DREAM Act for illegals when so many American citizens are suffering so?

American taxpayers subsidize illegal aliens to the tune of more than $100 billion a year. Why in the hell does this president refuse to enforce the rule of law and spare taxpayers this outrageous expense?

Most importantly, this president has waged bloody war against private enterprise and capitalism since he took office in 2009. His bitter anti-business, anti-American rhetoric has caused people who hire employees to retreat in fear and uncertainty.

His stated desire to use government to bankrupt the coal industry is a chilling reminder of how out-of-touch this man is.

With all due respect, Mr. President, America deserves better than your ‘recycled peas’ offer.
And please do not waste time blaming the Tea Party, George W. Bush, the Japanese earthquake-tsunami, or any other party.!

Perhaps America’s return to a prosperity mindset will have to wait until our Marxist community organizer is returned to the streets of Chicago in 2012?

Rajjpuut's Folly: Perry Performs Decently in Debate, Still Front-Running but, but . . . .

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on September 8, 2011 at 3:00pm
 
 
Ape-Man Discovery in South Africa
Might Make Perry
Into Foolish Fuddy-Duddy
 
 
 
            You might ask what the link and headline above have to do with the price of tea in China or politics in the United States?   Perhaps more than immediately meets the eye . . . .
            A noted anthropologist's child recently stumbled onto something "earth-shaking" which has now been named Australopithecus sediba or the "Southern Ape" as a nickname.  If ever there was an actual missing link:  this appears to be it. 
These Australopithecus sediba fossils (young male and older female) are dated to just short of 2 million years old and mark the first and only time that such a fossil has been labeled as both a hominid (highly advanced ape) and a hominin (of direct human lineage) by responsible anthropologists. 
The discovery was made in South Africa far, far from where Louis Leakey’s “Lucy” (Australopithecus afarensis dated to 3.2 million years ago and apparently a hominid ancestor of this recent discovery) was first discovered. Hominids like gorillas; chimpanzees; our closest living relative, the bonobo (sometimes called a "pygmy chimp"), and their extinct ancestors have been dated to roughly 6 million years ago.  No scientist is yet calling these Australopithecus sediba fossils the long-sought "missing link."  They tend to shy away from such “bold” labeling for a good twenty years after key discoveries are made, but it certainly could make Charles Darwin smile . . . what about the price of tea; or the fate of TEA Parties?
            On the contemporary front, while Texas governor Rick Perry (G.O.P. Presidential contender) performed decently in his first presidential debate and at this point looks very much like the eventual G.O.P. standard-bearer in 2012 . . . Ol' Rajjpuut suspects Mr. Perry is going to keep having the echoes of his "personal debate" with a ten-year old New Hampshire child coming back to haunt him. 
 
 
            You may remember that the kid instigated by his Mom, asked Perry about the age of the earth and about "Evolution" and was lectured by the governor who said that "It was a theory that had a lot of gaps in it."  Mr. Perry, unfortunately for Constitutional-conservatives/fiscal conservatives is clearly what's known as a social-conservative.  Mr. Perry was more than disingenuous with the child.  Yes, Governor, there are gaps in a lot of scientific knowledge, but anyone who takes the Bible 100% literally (they say it all happened precisely as written including 7-day creation in 7 24-hour days exactly where intelligent people might say that to God a day might be 1.5 billion years long or whatever) and insist upon Creationism being taught in high school biology classes in public schooling is probably not worth our votes.  Well, Mr. Perry, this discovery might well rule out 99% of the serious gaps.  We're not talking about bull-shi_ like so-called "global warming" here, Charles Darwin was a serious and thoughtful scientist and he had worlds of evidence for his beliefs about the Origin of the Species.
 
            The seemingly-unending problem with the Republican Party is that they persistently ignore the stuff that 70% of Americans can agree upon (smaller, less-intrusive federal government; lowest taxes possible; following the Constitution; necessary defense and border control; and fiscal responsibility that includes NOT bankrupting the future for our children and grand children) and persist in sounding like people who want to shove their religions down our throats (Christmas carols in PUBLIC schools where Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics and believers in Herman the Carrot God attend alongside Christians), and like they totally lack compassion; and that they want to interfere in everybody's bedroom activities.  One fact dooms them to not being able to turn this country around: 
Most sensible voters distrust social-conservatives . . . .
 
            For example, social-conservatives are typically 100% anti-abortion.  First of all abortion is the law of the land for almost 40 years now.  More importantly IF you say that no abortion is ever allowed even for
 
                        rape victims
                        incest victims
                        very young girls
                        mothers whose lives are endangered
 
then you mark yourself as a fanatic who believes that our God-given brains are not to be used to make life better; a madman who doesn't believe in human free agency/free will.  For at least 30 years this matter has been widely-polled among American voters and without fail the results are the same:  59% believe that 100% anti-abortionism is just plain WRONG!   And that rape and incest victims and very young girls who are pregnant and mothers whose lives are endangered should have a choice. 
These same polls have also consistently shown that 70% of Americans believe there are "too many abortions in America." So 70% of Americans are quite concerned about abortions and 59% of Americans believe it must come down to the woman’s choice and should be allowed in drastic circumstances like rape, etc. One more thing, since the consequences fall virtually 100% on women, we men ought to stay out of it, it is a woman's choice between her and her God.  When you have 59% of the voting public against your primary social-conservative stance, you will not get elected and you do not deserve to be elected . . . and if social-conservativism interferes, then the necessary good needing doing by fiscal- and Constitutional-conservatives cannot get done and the American future gets flushed down the toilet as the progressive mischief-makers (mostly from the Democratic Party but they’re found in both parties) keep getting elected and keep destroying our nation.
            Mr. Perry did have one problem in the debate and that problem (Social Security) and the South African Ape-Man discovery might doom us all to four more years of Barack Obama’s incompetence unless Mr. Perry grows up. Mr. Perry correctly calls Social Security as it now stands a “Ponzi Scheme.” This is 100% accurate. Just as Ponzi swindlers take a lot of money from their victims and pay out relatively little, Social Security is fundamentally bankrupt right now. Mr. Perry needs to take his message to the people and explain it very well and explain why and how Social Security must be modified if it is to ever be a success for our children. He will not get a lot of help on this. Some of his fellow Republicans will intensely attack him for this honest, forthright stance.
            What his Republican rivals will do to Mr. Perry’s position will be walk in the zoo compared to what the liberal media and the Democrats will assault him with. Mr. Perry needs to confine all future comments on Social Security to this more-easily defendable position.
A.     Social Security as it now stands is a Ponzi scheme and unless modified deeply, Social Security funding will not be there for our children and grandchildren.
B.    Social Security for those aged 50 and above should be left 95% untouched. Means-basing for the very rich recipients on Social Security is vital.
C.    Social Security’s present Ponzi nature becomes evident when we talk about those aged 49 and below. The program must be adjusted and modified greatly to insure that it is fiscally-sound for all such workers.
D.   Social Security was created back when the average American’s life span was 55 years of age and when the average American worker’s lifespan was 52 years of age (far more men than women fell under Social Security and women averaged about 59 years old at death). Today’s realities are that the average death age is closer to 85 than to 55; and that a lot more women are part of the work force. Any changes to Social Security must reflect these realities.
As far as Mr. Perry’s stance on evolution . . . Rajjpuut is reminded of the insurance fraud allowed to stand by a foolish judge. The “victim,” in a wheelchair was told by the insurance agent investigating the matter that he’d hound him till his death and would never be allowed to leave that wheelchair. The “victim” told him, “Fine but I intend to visit Mexico City and the site where the Virgin of Guadalupe encountered Mary. Don’t be surprised if a miracle takes place, my good man!” Mr. Perry needs to read up on human anthropology and on the theories about evolution and on this discovery in particular. It would be smart on the face of it; and super-smart if Mr. Perry were to “see the light.” Seeing the light means Mr. Perry probably ought to say,
 
“The scientists say the earth is 4.5 billion years old; I know nothing that disproves that. The very recent discovery of Australopithecus sediba fossils in South Africa looks like it might be what they used to call a “missing link.” If that’s so, It looks like Mr. Darwin was right and it looks like a day to God is a damn long time to us and the week of creation found in Genesis is a damn, damn, damn long time compared to a human’s lifespan.”
 
            Mr. Perry further needs to educate Americans to the TEA Party’s “Contract for America.” This fiscal- and Constitutional Conservative (with absolutely ZERO social-conservativism in it) document may be the single greatest American political document since the Bill of Rights was added to the U.S. Constitution. The more Mr. Perry persists in attacking the dismal record of Barrack Obama and on pounding home the ten planks in this incredibly visionary Contract from America platform . . . the better off America will be.
 
 
If, ignoring all this sound advice, Mr. Perry persists in unscientific thinking he’ll be pushed out of thinking peoples’ minds as a foolish hick and we’ll get more and more of Barack Obama and it’ll be his fault. Grow up, Rick Perry, grow up!
 
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut

Maxine Waters Demands ‘Racial Profiling’ to Combat Black Unemployment

Posted by john lillpop on September 8, 2011 at 12:18pm
By John W. Lillpop


Most liberals consider racial profiling to be immoral, unconstitutional, and downright un-American. Especially when such practice is used to prevent another gang of young, middle-eastern males who speak Arabic from repeating the carnage of 9/11.

Or when a state like Arizona tries to protect its citizens, of all colors and creeds, from being abused and harmed by illegal aliens from Mexico and points south.

In other words, racial profiling is evil when used to protect America from harm a the hands of people of color.

However, liberal loathing of profiling disintegrates in mid-air when the practice is used to bestow special benefits to, say, illegal aliens who, because most are Hispanic, deserve gifts like the DREAM act and other pandering.

Liberal insanity on this issue reached new lows of morality when Maxine Waters openly challenged President Obama to use race in deciding who has the greater priority for getting government booty.

As reported at the reference, Ms. Waters left little doubt about where her sentiments are when she asked, “Are the unemployed in the African-American community, including almost 45 percent of its youth, as important as the people of Iowa?” Waters asked.

Wow! If that is not a plea for government action based on racial profiling, then what is?

Racial profiling: An evil from hell—unless you stand to profit!

The 9-11 Event: Emblem of Immortality

Posted by Joseph Whitworth Smith on September 8, 2011 at 10:25am

The Phoenix was a legendary bird that after five or six centuries immolated itself on a pyre and then from the ashes to begin a new cycle of years, an emblem of immortality or of reborn idealism or hope.

 

When radical Islam took down the World Trade Center, leaving thousands of Americans dead, in the Middle East, thousands danced in the streets, the reason being that radical Islam thinks taking the world back to the year 600 A.D., when Islam was born, is what Allah wants.  It was by Allah’s hand, therefore, that America experienced her most brutal attack ever.

 

President Obama campaigned on the promise to transform America.  When it was planned to build a place to worship Allah near the hole in the ground radical Islam left, President Obama said the freedom of religion clause of the U. S. Constitution made it unlawful to deny permission. Obama’s  transformation of America  is hardly in support of the Constitution.  President Obama’s transformation apologizes for America’s ideas on freedom and supports Islam’s Sharia law. 

 

I wrote a blog on my Internet Web site entitled “The Meaning of the 9-11 Event.” A comment: “Finally, a blog that didn’t contradict itself.”

 

I wrote, “The 9-11 event could be the sign of the ending of the age of orthodoxy and control freaks, the beginning of an age of brotherhood, without government coercion, ‘that in retrospect may seem to have been marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naïveté, denial, and inflation,’ wrote Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche, under World Wars, Cold War, and September 11.  Tarnas is a distinguished philosopher and cultural historian who demonstrates in his book the existence of an astonishingly consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history.  It is amazing that people are not aware of the signs of the time.  By the way, Obama was elected president in November 2008.  Tarnas points out that in November 2008 Saturn and Pluto went into quadrature alignment, the very worst of alignments.  Coincidentally, many of us think Obama is the worst president America has ever had.  It all fits. He doesn’t know whether he is afoot or horseback.  Let’s talk about the weak-willed people of the Piscean nature who elected him.”

 

We are leaving the Age of Pisces, whose symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, telling us that the age  we are leaving can’t tell right from wrong.  That’s because it goes on external factors, not on the inner-self.

 

Jesus, who was born at the beginning of the Age of Pisces, who said, “in earth as it is in heaven” . . . “But seek ye first the kingdom of God” . . . there is a distinction.  In a footnote in my Scofield Reference Bible, “The errors of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Herodians, representatives of the outward show, the kingdom of God ‘comes not with outward show’ (Lk.17:20), but is chiefly ‘that which is inward and spiritual’ (Rom. 14:17), the kingdom of heaven is organic."

 

When interviewed, the survivors of the 9-11 event say they feel that they were spared for a purpose.  They have less trouble in accepting themselves as they are. They are more aware.  They have stronger spiritual values.  The 9-11 event represents the awakening from the long American sleep. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius, a time when people will accept others as equals, when we will be independent. We are at the dawn of an age of brotherhood and fraternity.

TAX POLICY WHICH FAVOR THE RICH AND PENALIZE THE REST OF US

Posted by william uthe on September 8, 2011 at 9:49am

THERE ARE MANY WAYS THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE REST OF US KEEP ON PAYING.

ONE SUCH IUS THE PAYROLL TAX THAT REWARD THE WELL TO DO WITH HIGHER WAGES AND EXORBITANT BONUS",  IS SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE IN TROUBLE.  THERE IS A CONTRIBUTION CAP ON WAGES AND BONUS' OF $106,800 AFTER WHICH NO SOCIAL SECURITY IS WITHELD OR MATCHED BY EMPLOYERS. THE USUAL WITHOLDING AND MATCHING FUNDS IS 6.2% OR 12..4% OF ELIGIBLE WAGES AND BONUS' HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL INCOME WOULD A ONE MILLION DOLLAR BONUS CREATE (12.4% OF 1,000,000 DOLLARS=$120,000)

MULTIPLY THE TOTAL OF SEVERAL MILLIONS OR MAYBE BILLIIONS OF WAGES AND BONUS' OVER 106,800.

THEN WE HAVE THOSE SUPER RICH WHO DO NOT TAKE WAGES OR BONUS' OUT OF THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS BUT HAVE OTHER WAYS OF REMOVING MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THOSE BUSINESS OPERATIONS WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING A PENNY TO SOCIAL SECURITY.

 

AND JUST THINK THE REST OF US ARE PAYING INTO THE SOCIAL SECURITY FUND ALL OUR LIVES .

 

REMUNATION IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO SOCIAL SECURITY. BENIFITS COULD BE PAID WITHOUT HAVING TO USE THE GENERAL FUNDS OF THE COUNTRY. AND INCREASE THE REVENUE STREAM, WHICH THE DEMOCRATS ARE SO INTENT ON ACCOMPOLISHING.

 

PROBLEM- THIS WOULD HURT THE SACRED COW SOURCES OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS BUT WOULD BE PLACING THE WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY OVER THE URGENCY TO GET ELECTED

FOR OVER 30 YEARS SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN TAXED ON THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY.

THE TAXATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME WAS FIRST PROPOSED BY JIMMY CARTER (ONE OF THE LIBERAL CHAMPIONS OF LOWER INCOME CITIZENS)  THERE IS A TAX INCOME THRESHOLD WHERE SOCIAL SECURITY BENIFITS BECOME TAXABLE, THIS INCOME THRESHOLD INCLUDES A TOTAL OF ALL INCOME INCLUDING NON TAXABLE INCOME AND SOCIAL SECURITY.  A SINGLE PERSON WITH TOTAL INCOME OF OVER $25,000 AND MARIED FILING JOINTLY AND HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD CITIZENS WITH A TOTAL INCOLME OF OVER $32000 TRIGGERS THE SOCIAL SECURITY TAX. THESE THRESHOLD HAVE REMAINED THE SAME FOR OVER 30 YEARS.  FOR 30 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO TRY TO EXPLAIN TO MY TAX CLIENTS WHY THEIR SS WAS TAXABLE.  PEOPLE WITH A MODEST PENSION OR OTHER RETIREMENT INCOME ARE GETTING THE SHAFT ON THEIR TAXES.  I HAVE BEEN PLEADING FOR YEARS TO SEVERAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS-BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT TO RAISE THE INCOME THRESHOLD TO $200,000 BUT THEY ALL SEEM TO CONSIDER INCOME OF OVER $32,000 PER YEAR AS AFFLUENT DESERVING TO BE TAXED.  I AM CONTINUING THIS YEAR SENDING LETTERS TO EVERY CANDITATE FOR PRESIDENT TO INCREASE THE DAMN TAX THRESHOLD.  I USUALLY GET A FORM THANK YOU LETTER IN RETURN BUT I WONDER HOW MANY, IF ANY OF THESE POLITICIANS EVER SEE MY LETTERS.  SENATORS SCHUMER AND GILLABRAND OF NY DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO RESPOND WITH A FORM LETTER, THE SAME GOES FOR SENATORS KERRY, REID, BOXER AND OTHERS AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS PELOSI, TONKO ETC.  I WOULD LIKE TO GET A LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN GOING, THE MORE LETTERS THE BETTER.  TELL THESE POLITICIANS TO START DISPLAYING THEIR EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE LOWER MIDDLE INCOME TAX PAYERS.
