Veteran Affairs Offices ( county )

Whats wrong with our County Service Officers? After finding out I had Parkinson's and lost my job I went to my county service officer to look into benefits . Yes I had my " DD-214 " in hand and information on the V.A. approving Veterans with Parkinson's. He was brand new and I figured gave a damn . Boy was I wrong!
I wasted so much time and after numerous unanswered e-mails and a few visits and now nearly five years ago, I heard nothing but complaints, from other veterans, in my county, in Ohio. You would think being a Veteran himself he would bend over backwards to help? WRONG, turns out hes no different than the last one! Here lies the problem, Is he paid to much? He needs a bigger more comfortable chair? He already has a private office without a view, or is he just plain lazy? Now I know what the problem is " no view." Anyone else have any issues concerning this subject?

Time to Go!!!!!!!!!

It is time to let our representatives know that it is time for them to go home for good. It seems that they feel that their chairs are a permit part of their "asses". No representative should be in the house or senate for more then two terms. "We the people" should be able to vote on a referendum to that effect. Not the house or the senate. The "PEOPLE" should have their voices heard. For too long "our" so called elected politicians have ignored our voices. It is time that they we wake them up from their slumber, and special interest and make them listen to the people. "WAKE UP AMERICANS". This is our country!!! Many of us have put our lives on the line for the freedoms all people deserve that are native born or naturalized. We do not need to give those rights to terrorists. The rights are only for free men. Those who betray our country being citizens should be tried for treason. May "God" bless this country forever and those who protect it.

Are you kidding me?

President Barack Obama's African aunt is going before a Massachusetts immigration judge for a second time to argue she should be allowed to stay in the United States. Her status as an illegal immigrant was revealed just days before Obama was elected. Obama says he didn't know his aunt was living in the country illegally. How dumb of a statement was that? I just didn't know...

Democrates don't really care

The Democratic Party Owes Blacks An Apology
1.Slavery: Democrats Fought to Expand It – Republicans Fought to End It
2.The Civil War: Democrats Seceded From The Union to Preserve Slavery
3.Segregation: Democrats Fought Against Civil Rights – Republicans Fought For Civil Rights
4.In 1866, the Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats to lynch and terrorize Republicans
5.Republicans Pushed To Achieve The “Brown v. Board of Education” Decision

7.Republican President Eisenhower Achieved Desegregation Of The Military
8.It was Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, who pushed through the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act. In fact, Dirksen was instrumental in the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968.
9.During the 1960’s, Democrats were relentless in their efforts to smear Dr. King and railroad his nonviolent civil rights advocacy.

BEHIND OBAMA'S PHONY DEFICIT NUMBERS

BEHIND OBAMA'S PHONY DEFICIT NUMBERSBy DICK MORRISPublished on DickMorris.com on February 1, 2010President Obama is being disingenuous when he says that the budget deficit he faced "when I walked in the door" of the White House was $1.3 trillion. He went on to say that he only increased it to $1.4 trillion in 2009 and was raising it to $1.6 trillion in 2010.Congressman Joe Wilson might have said "you lie," but we'll settle for "you distort."(As Mark Twain once said, there are three kinds of lies: "lies, damn lies, and statistics.")Here are the facts:In 2008, Bush ran a deficit of $485 billion. By the time the fiscal year started on October 1, 2008, it had gone up by another $100 billion due to increased recession-related spending and depressed revenues. So it was about $600 billion at the start of the fiscal crisis. That was the real Bush deficit.But when the fiscal crisis hit, Bush had to pass TARP in the final months of his presidency ( At the Request of the Obama Administration if you remember the begging) which cost $700 billion. Under the federal budget rules, a loan and a grant are treated the same. So the $700 billion pushed the deficit -- officially -- up to $1.3 trillion. But not really. The $700 billion was a short term loan. $500 billion of it has already been repaid.So what was the real deficit Obama inherited? The $600 billion deficit Bush was running plus the $200 billion of TARP money that probably won't be repaid (mainly AIG and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). That totals $800 billion. That was the real deficit Obama inherited.Then...he added $300 billion in his stimulus package, bringing the deficit to $1.1 trillion. This $300 billion was, of course, totally qualitatively different from the TARP money in that it was spending not lending. It would never be paid back. Once it was out the door, it was gone. Other spending and falling revenues due to the recession pushed the final numbers for Obama's 2009 deficit up to $1.4 trillion.So, effectively, Obama came close to doubling the deficit.Obama seems not to understand that the deficit is the jobs problem. To add to the deficit in the hope of creating more jobs is an oxymoron. Additional deficit spending just crowds out small businesses trying to borrow money to create jobs and consumers seeking credit to buy cars and homes.Soon, when the Fed stops printing money and we have to borrow real funds from real lenders, the high deficit will send interest rates soaring, further retarding growth and creating a cost-push inflation.The interest rate we are now paying for the debt -- about 3.5% -- is totally artificial and based on the massive injection of money supply created by the purchase of mortgage backed securities by an obliging Federal Reserve. Once these injections of currency/heroin stop, the rate will more than double, sending our debt service spending into the stratosphere. Once we had to choose between guns and butter. Now we will have to choose between guns and butter on the one hand and paying our debt service on the other.Obama's program of fiscal austerity in this new budget is a joke. He freezes very selected budget items while he shovels out new spending in his stimulus packages. If he wanted to lower the deficit, here's what he could do:1. Cancel the remaining $500 billion of stimulus spending and2. Cancel the $300 billion of spending in stimulus II.Those are the real numbers. Or, as Al Gore would have it, "the inconvenient truth."

Nashville this weekend

Recently, some have tried to portray the Tea Party movement as a commercial endeavor rather than the grassroots uprising that it is. Those who do so don't understand the frustration everyday Americans feel when they see their government mortgaging their children's future with reckless spending. The spark of patriotic indignation that inspired those who fought for our independence and those who marched peacefully for civil rights has ignited once again. You can't buy such a sentiment. You can't AstroTurf it. It springs from love of country and the knowledge that we can make a difference if we just stand up and stand together.I thought long and hard about my participation in this weekend's event. At the end of the day, my decision came down to this: It's important to keep faith with people who put a little bit of their faith in you. Everyone attending this event is a soldier in the cause. Some of them will be driving hundreds of miles to Nashville. I made a commitment to them to be there, and I am going to honor it.But participation won't be limited to those in Nashville who have a ticket. It's much bigger than that. Because the Tea Party movement is spread out across the country — with no central offices or annual events — this is an opportunity to connect with like-minded folks. Yes, there will be speeches given in a room in Nashville. But we'll also be speaking with thousands of Americans watching online at twitter.com/SarahPalinUSA, or through various news outlets. And the conversation will continue on my Facebook page.I will not benefit financially from speaking at this event. My only goal is to support the grassroots activists who are fighting for responsible, limited government — and our Constitution. In that spirit, any compensation for my appearance will go right back to the cause.The nature of the Tea Party movement means there may never be a "perfectly orchestrated" event: Democracy in action doesn't come with a manual. But we must not get caught up in the politics or the controversies that some hope will distract from the heart of the movement. The focus must remain on our ideas and beliefs, and on supporting those ideas and beliefs however we can.This weekend, it's Nashville, but in March, I'll head to Searchlight, Nev., for the kickoff rally at the Tea Party Express III. In April, I'll be in Boston for a Tea Party gathering there. Across the country, tea-partiers will be sharing our vision for America's future, a vision that promotes common sense solutions to out-of-control spending and an out-of-touch political establishment.The process may not always be pretty or perfect, but the message is loud and clear: We want a government worthy of the fine Americans that it serves. And we're going to keep spreading that message one convention, one town hall, one speech and one election at a timeSarah Palin

The government doesn't understand we want them to stop spending money. Not just that, we want them to cut back. The 20/10 movement says before we will listen to the purported solutions to our economic woes we want the government to cut all government salaries by 20% across the board, and cut staff by 10% across the board. Maybe this way they will get a small taste of what Main Street America is going through. The government is completely out of touch.Government employees get their taxpayer funded paychecks regularly and in full, with COL increases even. This administration has increased the number of government workers and their salaries. Government workers travel to a world gathering to save the environment by the dozens at the cost of millions at taxpayer expense, while leaving a horrendous carbon footprint. They don't need to stay at the cheap hotels, taxpayers are picking up the tab for first rate accommodations.Meantime, back in America, non government workers have seen layoffs, reduction in pay, and loss of benefits. Companies have had to function with reduced forces because of the layoffs. Main Street Americans have skipped vacations, kid’s graduation gifts, stopped going out to eat, and are wearing fashions from two years ago. If we can do it, the government can do it.Time for a reality check.20/10 for 2010!

BEHIND OBAMA'S PHONY DEFICIT NUMBERS

Over and over again, Obama spouts "I inherited this deficit, I inherited this recession, I inherited this financial crisis, I saved America from the brink, I gave tax cuts (REBATES) to of America".

Of course, the numbers are a lie in order to show off his magnificence, but the true numbers are far more interesting.BEHIND OBAMA'S PHONY DEFICIT NUMBERSObama's program of fiscal austerity in this new budget is a joke.http://tinyurl.com/ykkuoc6

We recently witnessed another photo-op, as Obama graced the Republican conference with his presence filling the room once again with more lies and re-writing history about inherited deficits. He inherited it from a Democratic congress, and forgets that he voted for every spending program from 2005 onwards. Once again he is delusional and disingenuous. He tells his own story about the economic decline, while preaching how health care will save the day. Yes, of course, Mr. President. You are not an ideologue, nor a Bolshevik.WHAT I SAID TO THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESSPeople get smaller and pettier, as the govt and state get biggerhttp://tinyurl.com/yj4zolq

If this movement becomes just like all other Politics and are only looking to fill their pockets, for profit of the organizers, then this is becoming a sad time in America.. God Help Us..Paying Palin $100K is rediculous, if she doesn't want to become part of the movement of the TeaParty and rally the folks for the benefit of the Tea Party, then we do not need her. ITS ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR FREEDOMS, THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGING THIS KIND OF MONEY DO NOT GET IT.. The Tea Party will be just like all the other parties and You can Count me OUT..Holding a convention and asking the regular folks, American folks to dish out $300-$500 for tickets in a lavish hotel... Looks like the same ole Politics to me Doing what the Democraps and the republicans do the same ole same ole.. NO THANKS, if you continue on this path!Tea Party Nation' Prepares Convention, But Partiers Balk at For-Profit EventBy David Lewkowict Lauren Miller- FOXNews.comThe first National Tea Party Convention is slated for the end of this week, but several big names and events have cancelled after questions rose about the high fees to attend and the treasure chest where the money will end up.That National Tea Party Convention is being held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville from Feb. 4-6. (nationalteapartyconvention.com)The first National Tea Party Convention is slated for the end of this week, but several big names and events have cancelled after questions rose about the high fees to attend and the treasure chest where the money will end up.Over the past few weeks, several sponsors, speakers and volunteers have backed out of the convention, scheduled Feb. 4-6 at Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., after learning that the convention organizer, Tea Party Nation, is a for-profit company. Some activists and outsiders alike are questioning the motives of Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips."It seems to me like it's going to be a bunch of people who want to stand in front of our movement and lead it as parade leaders rather than being somebody who wants to walk with us in the parade," said Scott Boston, member of Bowling Green Ohio Tea Party Patriots.Phillips originally said profits from the convention would fund a tax-exempt, "527" political organization that would air ads to promote conservative candidates.But Phillips later told Politico that plans for the 527 group may not fly."We're still not even done with the convention yet and there may not be any profits. We could still end up losing money on this convention," he is quoted saying.Because the use of any proceeds from the event haven't been established, a House ethics committee review insisted last week that Reps. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee withdraw from the conference.The event's main sponsor, American Liberty Alliance, dropped its sponsorship after learning that those who purchased tickets paid for them through PayPal accounts linked to an e-mail address belonging to Phillips' wife.National Precinct Alliance has canceled precinct strategy workshops. Meanwhile, American Majority scrapped plans for two sessions at the convention and withdrew its sponsorship.The national convention that began as a way to unify tea party activists from across the country is now threatening to divide them. Some of Tea Party Nation's own volunteers and members have rejected the convention because they see profiteering and fear a Republican Party takeover.Most tea party groups want to stay separate from the GOP, but very few are pushing for the movement to become a third party.Saturday night's keynote speaker Sarah Palin remains committed to the event."Oh, you betcha I'm going to be there," Palin told Fox News. "I'm going to speak there because there are people traveling from many miles away to hear what that tea party movement is all about."Palin's speaking fee is $100,000. She said she will donate the money to campaigns, candidates and issues. As a down payment for Palin's fee, Phillips reportedly borrowed $50,000, much of it from a baseball card mogul. He missed his first payment.Tickets to see Palin are $349 and participants can attend the entire event for $549.Critics say that the convention's ticket prices are too high for a grassroots event, and most tea partiers will skip the convention simply because they can't afford it."We're limited on our funds," said Greg Fettig, Hoosier Patriots. "We don't have backers. It's coming out of our pockets."Fox News' Jonathan Serrie contributed to this report.

Everyone needs to see this!Obama had to give a shout out to some of the crowd before he could make his speech. He didn't go to the hospital, just like in Germany he wanted the press at the hospital for photos. The hospital would not let the press in, so he didn't go. No press, no Obama. They should use that approach all the time: no press, no Obama. It sure sounds good to me.So, who told the White House?I sent my cousin in Fayetteville , N.C. (retired from Special Forces) a picture of George W. Visiting the wounded at Fort Hood . I got this reply:What is even better is the fact George W. Bush heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort, apparently they did not have time to react, and drove to Fort Hood. He was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had just stopped. Bush only asked for directions to the hospital then drove on. The gate guard called that "The president is on Fort Hood and driving to the hospital." The base went bananas looking for Obama. When they found it was Bush they immediately offered escort and Bush simply told them to shut up and let him visit the wounded and the dependents of the dead. He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours and was finally asked to leave by a message from the White House. Obama flew in days later and held a "photo" session in a gym and did not even go to the hospital. All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened to be at Fort Hood when it happened.This Bush/Obama/Fort Hood story is something that should be sent to every voter in the US .Class shows up...The doctor had the TV on in his office when news of the military base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her into his office and as he told her what had happened, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay." Her cell phone rang right after she read the message. It was an ER nurse, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband. I thought it would be comforting but I was mistaken in doing so. I am sorry to tell you this, but your husband has been shot four times and he is in surgery."The soldier's wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night to Fort Hood . When she arrived, she found out her husband was out of surgery and would be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he already had visitors there to comfort him. He was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side The nurse took this picture.

What? No news crews and cameras? This is how people with class respond and pay respect to those in uniform.

FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:

It turns out the Democrats were too clever by half.In four vacant Senate seats - they managed to go zero for four in putting people in place who have virtually no chance of being re-elected.It's not bad enough that the midterm elections are shaping up as a bloodbath for the Democrats - but now they'll be forced to defend what should have been safe Senate seats in some of the bluest states of the country.Joe Biden's old seat in Delaware - Hillary Clinton's old seat in New York... they managed to put a moron into President Obama's old senate seat in Illinois... thank you, Rod Blagojevich... and one of the senate seats in Colorado could also fall to the Republicans.Plus - they just lost Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts... and the governorship in New Jersey... and the governorship in Virginia... they're on a real roll.Of course - voting against incumbents has a certain appeal. The government is broken, the only way to fix it is term limits. And there's no way the weasels in Congress will ever agree to do away with their own jobs. So that leaves it up to us.Scott Brown certainly got everyone's attention. The Senate seat he won had been held by the late Edward Kennedy for 46 years... so you see, it can be done.It is possible for us the voters to create some real change we can believe in. All we have to do is get over this stupid idea that because somebody has been there, they should always be there.Here’s my question to you: Are you willing to vote against the incumbent in this year's midterm election?

RINOs, RINOs Everywhere

The 2010 elections are only nine (9) short months away, and the Tea Party movement has momentum on their side. One of the major objectives of the movement, and why it has caught on like wildfire, is to weed out the thinned down conservatives - those conservatives you thought were on your side, but voted too many times with Obama's socialist agenda. One of the most important lessons Ronald Reagan taught us is that when you stick to your core conservative principles -- you win.RINOs, RINOs Everywherehttp://tinyurl.com/yzzsbpc

OBAMA ORGANIZING IN HIGH SCHOOLS

This is alarming, and the line between Obama and Mao is becoming very thin. We have already seen the Obama indoctrination of our small children in public schools, and this recruiting through our schools is over the line. Another critical reason why government does not belong in our school system. From Atlas Shrugs, "Obama is using high school children to goose step on the healthcare socialism program." He has three (3) years to brainwash our children and send them out to recruit for him, and even the 2010 elections.Atlas Exclusive: OBAMA ORGANIZING IN HIGH SCHOOLSOrganizing for America is recruiting in our high schools....http://tinyurl.com/ylcal5b

We are all here because we are dissatisfied. It makes no difference if the person who feels that dissatisfaction is a Republican, Libertarian, or a Democrat because, first and foremost, we are Americans. We have a proud history of individualism and self-reliance yet tempered with a team spirit when that is needed. This is what makes the Tea Party successful: you don't have to be anything but you with an open mind to be one of us. And you don't have to give up anything or follow anybody blindly either.
