As I mentioned to some friends, due to the amount of money the President is borrowing from the Chinese, Obama is no longer able to refer to the Chinese leader as Hu Jintao. Now Obama is required to call him Hu JaDaddy.  To paraphrase Jay Leno, the bad news is the Chinese Leader came to the White House this week.  The good news is he said we could keep it.

However I’m not picking on the Chinese.  I’m opposed to the United States owing that amount of money to anyone.  Let alone a country that crushes dissent in their citizens, imprisons their Noble Prize winners, thinks that America is a temporary aberration in history, and has nuclear weapons pointed at us.    In any debtor relationship, you lose authority and the ability to negotiate from a level playing field.  Anyone who doesn’t think it matters where you borrow money is a fool.   Just ask a person who has ended up in “cement shoes” in the waters off of New Jersey whether it matters. But I digress…

The Debt Is Just Too Damn High!

Our new Speaker of the House John Boehner is too busy shrinking from Nancy Pelosi’s shadow to be of much use to anyone.  He is calling for and losing key votes that are an embarrassment to his party.  He is not paying attention to the mandate the American people gave him and the Republican Party last November, or to his own campaign promises.

To make matters worse it would seem that most of the new Republican leadership since assuming the reigns of power have joined him and turned into what the “Governator” would call a bunch of “girlie men”.  Surely Nancy Pelosi must have left a pound or two of brass behind somewhere.

Reps. Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Rogers and Issa among others all started out balls afire, swore they were going to turn this ship of state around, starting day one.  So far their efforts have been more like “window dressing” and hype.  They have set very poor examples for the entering freshmen.  They have been dodging the hard votes.  They were re-hired to force the hard votes, to cut spending, with a machete, not a scalpel!  De-funding Obamacare completely in the 2011 CR would have yielded over $105 Billion in spending cuts, more than their target $100 Billion in other areas.  It would have been a doubling down and shown how serious their commitment was.  The promise or pledge to repeal, de-fund, stop it or otherwise “Kill Obamacare” was the defining issue on Nov. 2^nd, 2010 and nothing has changed!!   Wait, back up, the judge in the 26 state lawsuit against Obamacare ruled it un-constitutional!!  That alone should have been reason enough to completely stop any and all spending for Obamacare

.

The only thing they have shown they are serious about other than a few rules changes is the continuation of “business as usual” in the “Swamp”.  A paltry $60+ Billion in cuts is like changing the curtains when the windows are cracked and leaking!  What happened to all of the tough talk when the present leadership was in the minority just a couple of months ago?

We do have leadership in the House; folks that meet the definition of a leader, that could serve and would not hesitate to stand up for us and our principles and values.  Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. Steve King, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep Paul Broun, Rep. Jack Kingston, many in the freshman class and many others are all honoring their pledges to us and care deeply about our Constitution and preserving and defending it.

Our current Republican leadership is more concerned with maintaining the status quo and relationships across the aisle than honoring their promises.  One would think that after being kicked around viciously for 4 years, and after the runaway spending that was jammed down our throats this last 2 years, that there might be a sense of urgency about turning things around.  Alas, it doesn’t seem to be materializing.

They, and we, have another chance to extend some more spending cuts and that is by refusing to raise the debt ceiling permanently!!  Enough is enough and somewhere, at some time we have to draw the line.  The time is now, and holding the line on the spending limit is the where!   With just a “smidgeon” of the brass it took for the Democrats to jam us with Obamacare, the Republicans can keep the debt ceiling capped where it is, or with no more than a temporary bump, till spending cuts catch up if it becomes necessary.  Remember we have had over $3,400,000,000,000.00 ($3.4 Trillion dollars) of deficit spending forced on us in just the past two years!!  It should be relatively easy to find enough cuts to not have to tamper with the debt ceiling permanently. 

Leaving it alone, or guaranteeing only a temporary bump up, would send tremors around the world that we are serious about addressing our debt crisis.  It would give businesses another solid measure of assurance that their investment in new jobs would make sense!  And wish upon wish, think what would happen if we were to reduce it slightly!!

It is high time to rein debt in.  Any stimulus not spent, rein it in.  Obamacare spending, rein it in.  Across the board spending cuts in all agencies, rein them in.  Duplicative program and agency cuts, rein them in. Want to save the value of the dollar, rein the spending in.  Want to head off inflation, rein the spending in.  This is a no-brainer folks! 

Don’t believe for one minute the nonsense about the possibility of the US Government defaulting on its debt.  The interest we pay represents just a small part of our overall spending and is the first thing we would pay in order to not spark a worldwide financial crisis and meltdown.  Any one insinuating that we might default is an outright liar or totally delusional.  At worst we would have to furlough federal government workers for a few days (Hmm…sharing the pain?).  Treasury Secretary Geithner says we may hit the ceiling by March 31^st 2011, maybe, maybe not.  There is an option, however.  Tie a temporary increase to substantial and immediate spending cuts that would automatically return the ceiling to the present level or lower within 6 months!

Call your Representatives and let them know that you want to rein in spending, NOW, and to start with not raising the debt ceiling permanently!!  Ever increasing debt is not a forgone conclusion.  It is the result of foregone irresponsibility.  Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202)-224-3121 or (202)-225-3121 also Toll Free at (877)-762-8762 ask for your Representative by name and also call the leadership and tell them: “The debt is just too damn high”!!  Do Not Raise The Debt Ceiling Permanently!!  Stop Talking and Stop The Spending Now!!  Show Some Brass!!

For Liberty’s Sake,

Tom Whitmore

Ah, yes, Joseph, you are right, only you left out 99 percent of the truth of the matter.  I note with puzzlement that deficiency in a number of the people—1 percent right and 99 percent wong.  I wonder how long you’ve been here, Joseph. What I witness in America today is utterly confounding.  When I was 19 years old, I was witness to the ruins of Nazi Germany. I wondered how the German people could have ever allowed the Nazis to take charge of their lives.  Now I know, and you’ve helped, Joseph.  

Our Constitution grants us the right to pursue happiness in our own ways, as long as we don’t take other people’s right for the same; that is, redistribute the nation’s wealth. It is not only unconstitutional, it is about as stupid anyone can get.  Unions are great as long as they adhere to constitutional principles.  Unions are headed by people with Nazi mentality. They have power and control. They don’t believe what they preach. They are not for the good of all.  The same is true for progressive politicians.

What is going on in Madison, Wisconsin is a political game based on power and control.  More than half of the American people, in one way or another, depend on government.  It’s bankrupting the nation.  But Joseph, you would not know that those with Nazi mentality would call Governor Scott a Nazi.

 To those of you who are government entitled, what if government told you it was going to have to significantly cut your government check; it doesn’t have the money. You depend on your entitlement. Would that be fair?  Of course not.  What are you to do?  The big spenders would be quick to ask that question.  What would you be forced to think about those who robbed you of your existence?  I would bet my hat that you would be on the street protesting.  

You have been dumbed down—taught to believe the rich are greedy and grasping.  If you are rich, it is more than likely that you took a risk and put out a lot of effort. We won’t mention those who took the risk and lost everything they had.

If you are successful in business, it is more than likely that you hire people.  In fact, seventy percent of the jobs in America are attributed to the people I mention.  The money they make doesn’t all go in their pockets to spend.  A lot goes into expansion of their businesses.  Obama wants that money.  He does not want the money of corporate executives earning millions of dollars.  They gave generously to his election.  Obama bails them out with our money.

Giant corporations, whose money comes from thousands of stockholders, who take the risk, are too big to fail.  They fail largely because it isn’t their money they throw away in failed Ponzi schemes.  Politicians  and the managements of giant corporations, birds of a feather, don’t live by the moral code of ordinary folks.  Including union heads, they are not for America. They are strictly for themselves.

Ever since the Great Depression, political games—redistribution of the wealth—not unlike Nazi games, have sought to make the American people dependent on government.  Why should Washington be in charge of redistributing our sweat? We must be out of our minds. We are now seeing the consequence.    The super rich are in the game with politicians. Tax the rich is a joke!  Pfizer has four times been fined for felony with the intent to defraud.  In 2010, Pfizer paid a $2.5 billion dollar fine. It represents people being taken by Pfizer’s snake oil remedies. That money fined didn’t go to you, did it? It was distributed to the cronies of Washington’s Nazis.  Congress gave Pfizer a tax break that put $47 billion in Pfizer’s pocket, and you wonder why you are paying outrageous prices for your drugs. It costs $200 million to get FDA approval on a health remedy.  The drug industry is in cahoots with Washington to keep new  remedies off the market, in order to sell remedies that kill us.  We must be sick in the head. Why are not politicians talking like I’m talking?

Thanks to out of control, lawless government spending, the choices are getting slim.  In a few days, Congress is going to be forced into raising the debt ceiling.  If the increase is not approved, the majority of the American people will not receive the things they depend on government giving them. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, the big spenders will win.  The Republicans don’t have the American people behind drastic cuts in spending.  I was for not allowing the increase until I analyzed the situation.  It’s going to take time and the full truth from those we elected. And don’t think the opposition isn’t going come back swinging.  Those we put in office are afraid to tell it like it is.  We’re going to have to grab the ball.    

Government does not produce; it spends. If you tax the rich more, the rich are not going supply jobs.  Then government supplies jobs with your money.  You think the rich, with their money in the bank, should have it taken from them in taxes, so it can be spread to the people in need.  The basics are totally ignored.  Your government is killing the goose that laid golden eggs. The American masses are too dumbed down to know that. They cannot relate Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Communist China with what America’s government is up to. It is ironic that over 90 percent of America’s blacks vote for politicians bent on making them slaves again.  Ask them where the money they receive comes from. They will tell you it is Obama’s money.  You and I have no right to our money, unless we are willing to fight for it. That’s the way it is.

It is incredible to me how easily people are influenced.  There is a reason.  The easily influenced are  Piscean in nature.  I’m Aquarian. I’m stubborn in my belief.  Do you want to get left at the switch, Joseph?  You need to climb aboard my bandwagon. We are leaving the Age of Pisces.

I am not a public employee. Public employees are not the problem or the enemy. The retirement fund lost billions in Wall Street speculations that went awry. Ohio's govenor would know about that! Employees followed the rules. Your community's teachers, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, street and highway workers, and others are NOT the enemy or to blame. We live here, pay taxes, work hard, and are trying to support our families, too. If you are a public employee or even if your not we didn't cause this problem. We just have to live with it.

Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin, the inside story of how Wall Street and Washington  secretly fought to save themselves, is just part of the story. It includes all of the biggest corporations in America.  But to say capitalism is at fault is the same as saying guns kill people. Common sense tells us otherwise.  Common sense says that too much power in too few places kills people by the hundreds of millions.

Incidentally, I wonder who is running the stock market up.  I wondered why people rushed out to buy a home when common sense said the bubble was going to burst.  What is going on is inexplicable.  Every day something is brought to my attention to think about and write about.

Russell L. Blaylock, a nationally recognized neurosurgeon, asks if vaccines bring more harm than good.  They contain dangerous amounts of aluminum. Aluminum increases the immunization effects, but it is absorbed by the brain, and every time one is vaccinated.  This can cause all manner of health problems, including death.  And this is absolutely unbelievable.  Government does not require vaccine manufacturers to submit to independent safety studies.  One of the chief concerns is contamination.  Many vaccines are manufactured in unreliable China.

It costs $200 million dollars to get your health remedy FDA approved, but once you are in you are pretty much home free.  It keeps the completion out, competition that would otherwise sell safer cures at a fraction of the price.  And how about this: Pfizer pled guilty in 2010 to “felony with intent to defraud.”  They paid a fine of $2.3 billion, and this was the fourth time they pled guilty to intent to defraud.  If you think this hurt Pfizer in any way you are wrong.  A single tax law was enacted in 2004 that allowed Pfizer to reap $37 billion in profits.  It’s a conspiracy for which the dumbed down public pays.  It isn’t capitalism that it at fault, not anymore than guns kill people.

In the Middle-East, they call America the Great Satin.  The American people are great fools, but in no way are we the fools that Middle-Easterners  are showing themselves to be. The reason I’m not believed is because people all around the world depend on others.  As the consequence, control freaks are moving fast to take over the world.

In my case, 35 years ago I cut from the herd and went on my own.   In my case, I employed the most powerful legal tool of all times, the U. S. Constitution.  I was transformed into one who got what I wanted out of life.  If everyone knew the power potential one has within, we would not have control freaks in control of our lives. We would know we can be anyone we want to be, and have anything we want, without government help.

Theory that regards the absence of direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society, that which my Webster’s College Dictionary calls anarchy, would be in place of what we have. Instead of allowing ourselves to be small and insignificant, we would all know the power potential each has.  If it works for me, it can work for you.

I repeat: The change is not going to be to Islamic Brotherhood, or Obama’s wild dream, a world socialist dictatorship.  The brotherhood is the one Jesus pointed out. It’s his second coming, with the individual in control of his life, doing unto others as he would have others do unto him.

Joseph Finkle is disappointed in us. We got a lot of Joseph Finkles.  I'm going to accommodate Joseph, talk about relevant things.

It is not enough that America’s government insists on protecting us at the cost of government perverts groping us and other government thieves robbing us at airports.  I read about a victim of government who turned on his CFL light and fire shot out like a blowtorch. When this light burns out, there is a chance that the ballast can start a fire, said his Fire Marshall.  The light was made in China.  Pass this on to your friends.  

And while we are at it, the Islamic Brotherhood is strongly on the minds of some of us.  Why is it of little concern to others, and even a sign of progress to some? Maybe Joseph could tell us.  An analysis tells us the strong concern is in those of us who value our individuality.  Those who have little concern over the Islamic Brotherhood are socialist minded. Those who see the Islamic Brotherhood as a positive move are socialist revolutionaries. Hey Joseph, am I right or wrong?

Common sense tells us what Obama is.  He calls himself a born again Christian.  If he had read the Bible, which he obviously has not, he wouldn’t be saying that.  Christ taught that I am my brother’s keeper—singular. Obama’s outrageous claim needs further explanation.  If we were to all believe we are our brother’s keeper, then, collectively, we would all be saved.  Joseph, am I right?

But this is not for Obama, Joseph. He places his desirable end—of being our brother’s keeper—ahead of the individual. That’s Sharia law: for the good of all, the individual is naught.  Sharia law comes from the ancient idea of employing the sword to gain control.  

Now Joseph, you know there is evil in the world, so how do we know evil? In the Bible, Jesus, the humblest of men, left us his message of brotherhood. His appeal concerned the inner self—and the “Higher Law”—Jesus called the kingdom of God, the idea of being self-governed, which happens to be what America’s Constitution makes plain, its background the “Higher Law.”  But wouldn’t you know, Obama wants to change the Constitution. Joseph, is this what you want?  Your president wants to be our keeper, his idea, collective salvation; that is, the good of all, as he sees it. Is that what you want, Joseph?

All governments have a hierarchy, “and even the best of men are liable to be corrupted by passion,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle.  Jesus said, “No man can serve two masters.” The choice: the inner self or the men like Obama liable to be corrupted by passion.  

I wonder, Joseph, how ancient man came to conceive of “as in earth as it is in heaven,” Jesus’ statement in the Lord’s Prayer. 

As I look back on my life, I was on track, arriving at every station on time.  The big change in my life, right on schedule, according to astrology, I could either fly with eagles or fall into the abyss. That was in 1975, right where the world is now. Now in the twilight of life, if my life could be any better, I don’t know how. I looked within for my answers.  

Sorry President Obama. You are not destined to have it your way. Do you agree, Joseph? What we witness in the world today is causing a reactionary groundswell.  The change is not going to be to Islamic Brotherhood, or Obama’s wild dream, a world socialist dictatorship.  The brotherhood is the one Jesus pointed out. It’s his second coming, with the individual in control of his life, doing unto others as he would have others do unto him.  O.K. Joseph, I'm being relevant.

As a 65 year old woman, I have seen a lot during my years on this earth.  Back in the 1950's when I was in grade school, the McCarthy era was at hand, and I did think that was the best thing that ever happened.  We need a little McCarthyism today.  In the 1950's, my dad was a night school student at St.  Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.  There were communist teachers back then too.  Washington University in St. Louis, one of the most elitest Universities, had communists also teach on their campus.  Everyone new who they were.  In those days, students were taught what communism was, what to look for, and what life was like in communist countries.  

Today, there are more communists than ever teaching in all of our schools in general.  Today, American History is not really taught as it was then, and even back then, there was a progressive bent to it as well.

The teachers I had taught us, we learned, we were also taught how to learn.  In addition, we were taught how to think and analyze.  We were taught how to make decisions and use common sense.  Today, children and adults are taught to be robots--to repeat what they want us to know.  We are no longer encouraged or taught how to think, but what to think.

An example of this is global warming.  For believers, we believe God is in control, man is not.  So if that is true, that God is in control, all we need to do is be good stewards of the earth--we do not polute, we clean up and keep things clean--and I do not mean environmental controls.  Lets face it.  A person whose car is burning oil would get their car fixed if they had the money.  No one likes the smell of burning oil.  We are told sugar is bad for you.  And we are told fat is bad for you.  So everyone changes their diets to accommodate.

Now, what we have are people using chemicals instead of the real stuff--the natural stuff--which used in moderation is good for you.  The chemical stuff, on the other hand, actually has proven to be more harmful for you.

What we need is a commitment to education.  I have a masters degree in curriculum and instruction.  And I, for one, would like to be a part in reforming our educational system.  Many school districts are having to cut their budgets now, cut teacher's benefits, etc.  That is not a bad thing because of the stats of public school education that loom at us like a bad hair day.  Only thing is, it will take a decade to try to straighten the system out.  Something is wrong when 67 % of the high school students attending college or a university, are not scoring high enough on even placement tests to be placed in college level classes and must take at least one if not all three remedial courses, two semesters of each in reading, writing and English.  These are basic--stuff they should have learned while in grade school and high schools all over the nation.  Our children all know how to make a baby, they know to experiment with life styles, etc.  But they can't read, write, and do even simple math.  There are no moral values and virtues, nor character being taught in most schools.  This has got to change if we are to survive as a nation.

If any of you feel education needs to be a top priority, please post, and if there is a site on which to become involved for education reforms, please guide me to it.

Thank you so much for reading this soap box position.

With his new budget, Obama not only ducked our economic problems, he gave it his famous finger.  What was it that Tennessee Ernie Ford said -- "Another day older, and deeper in debt!  Saint Peter dontcha call me, 'cause I can't go.  I owe my soul to the company sto'e (that's the White House, my friends)" Debt, debt, debt.  Debt for you, for me, for our children, and for our grandchildren.  It's sinful, and the man in the White House has no conscience.

THE DAMAGE OBAMA HAS DONE 

"It's Debt On Arrival", Congressman Paul Ryan said. http://bit.ly/f0Weqa

     Most of the same old names we elected in Ohio are trying to put it too the people who educate our children and protect us from harm. Our new Ohio goverments " wall street " way of thinking is really distressing. What is wrong with public employees keeping their " collective bargaining rights "?

      Elected officials aren't under it so lets put it to the professionals who fight our fires, keep our streets safe, and teachers that build a foundation of knowledge ensuring our childrens future. The last election and new Ohio administration put us back in the USSR.

And an astronomer said, "Master, what of Time?"
      And he answered:
      You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
      You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
      Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
      Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
      And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
      And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
      Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
      And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not form love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
      And is not time even as love is, undivided and placeless?
      But if in you thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
      And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing—

Kahlil Gibran

Embracing the past with remembrance, and the future with longing—appropriate, I thought.  I created a video for you.      www.youtube.com/user/inlink1  look for Roaring Twenties1.  You'll see a picture me from the tip of my nose down, including my guitar. 

Hi There,

Good news, your calls, faxes and emails are having an effect! Please redouble your efforts on Thursday starting in AM.   Rep. Steve King will be introducing his Amendment to defund Obamacare in it's entirety on the floor of the House on Thursday or NLT Friday and it is vital that we amass wide support.

Simply ask your Representatives to support the King Amendment to completely defund Obamacare when it, or any motions in support of it, come up or for a vote. Remind those that promised last November to "KILL THE BILL" and stop Obamacare, that you view that promise as a sacred trust, it is that important, and you will accept nothing less. If funding for Obamacare is allowed to proceed in any way, shape or form, you will consider that sacred trust broken and you will not forget.

This time in addition to calling your individual representatives and the freshman, PLEASE include calls to Speaker Boehner's office and Majority Leader Cantor's office. Capitol Switchboard (202)-224-3121 or (202)-225-3121 or Toll Free (877)-762-8762, if lines are busy or slow to answer, here is a link to get their direct lines: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/

Remember it is our responsibility to make sure our Representatives do the right thing, take the hard votes, honor their promises and defend our liberty. It is up to us to make sure they do not slip down the path of least resistance, otherwise known as "the slippery slope" that we have been on for years, and has our children's futures mortgaged to the hilt!!

Thank you for all that you do to further the cause of Liberty!!

For Liberty's Sake
