Mack Penny Plan

The Boehner plan, the latest version that is, was dumped by the Senate. Surprise.  Tea Party people are being blamed and characterized as hobbits again as they were by McCain the other day. I don't have a problem with being called names, which really doesn't bother me, what does bother me is the fact that Boehner is not standing his ground with Cut, Cap, and Balance and has not looked at the Penny Plan. We need a balanced budget – stop spending, how hard is it? I have to admit I do feel bad for Mr. Boehner and I admire his persistence the reality is: He needs one plan and only one plan and then drop it in the laps of the Democrats and this President and not be a sell out. I can only imagine his frustration, but he was hired to do a job and if you can't take the pressure then move over and let someone else in that can!

 

Regarding this ongoing issue: It is just simple common sense. Seriously. Just a few days ago Mr. Boehner said about the Penny Plan, "It is worth looking at" and then came up with something entirely different, might I mention another worthless plan. The Penny Plan makes perfect sense and addresses all the issues. The Democrats are using this whole crisis as a game of chess with the American people as the pawns. There were plans in order: the Ryan Plan; Cut, Cap, and Balance, etc. The President and his colonies are sitting back, watching, and allowing the Republicans to take the blame for everything that is going wrong right now on the Hill. We need to have one plan, pass it, and put it in their hands for deliberation in the Senate; let them do something other than run their mouths. They need to stop this madness and stand up for what they believe in; end of story!

Gina Aveni Mack: "Obama's Lack of Leadership Puts America in Danger"

Boehner Plan Falls Short of Restoring Fiscal Order

WASHINGTON, July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14) announced today that he will not support Speaker Boehner's plan, which raises the nation's debt ceiling. The plan does not fix the debt crisis and does not balance the budget.

Mack stated: "President Obama's lack of a spending reduction plan and the Senate's various schemes to license more federal spending would drive any credit lender into orbit and has left Speaker Boehner rightfully frustrated. Speaker Boehner's plan is an attempt to deal with the financial irresponsibility that the federal government has brought upon the American people, but falls short of putting our fiscal house in order. I would urge the Speaker and the President to adopt the Mack Penny Plan which effectively cuts up the government's credit card and takes us out of debt in eight years. House Republicans have put forth multiple plans to avoid default and get our fiscal house in order by cutting spending and implementing serious budget reforms. The President's lack of leadership and lack of a plan reminds me of Hans Christian Anderson's The Emperor's New Clothes."

Presently the Mack Penny Plan enjoys the support of over 40 co-sponsors in the U.S. House; the backing of the Republican Study Committee's 103 Members, U.S. Senators Enzi (R-WY), Rand Paul (R-KY), John Barrasso (R-WY),The One Cent Solution, The National Taxpayers Union, and FreedomWorks.

The Penny Plan balances the budget by:

•Cutting total federal spending by one percent each year for six consecutive years,

•Setting an overall spending cap of 18 percent of gross domestic product in 2018, and

•Reducing overall spending by $7.5 trillion over 10 years.

How to Sync with the "Higher Law"

"If our Representatives fail to become true leaders then, in the words of a famous song: ‘They’re not listening, they’re not listening still, perhaps they never will.” could very well be our new National Anthem." Steve Eichler J.D.

 

“And God said, Let us make man in our image” (Gen.1:26).  Who is “us?” Numerology, the art of using numbers to make sense, my name gives numerology the number 7 for my life lesson number: “You are here to use and develop your mind.” Reality is not in the name of the Lord, nor for the good of all, Barack Obama’s term, collective salvation, but in whatever your name is—for the good of one: you.  

We each make our own reality; and, unfortunately, not that great for a lot of people. They become a self-fulfilling prophecy.  According to sociologist Robert K. Merton, “The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.” For a prime example, look at Washington, D.C.   You have a choice—your choice or their choice.

The enormous amount of information we’ve accumulated is just waiting for someone to put it together in a way that makes sense to ordinary folks.  In my astrological chart, Saturn is trine Pluto. Astrologer’s Handbook: “This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized.”  I’m Virgo with Aquarius rising. In The Rising Sign, under Aquarius Rising, astrologer Jeanne Avery: “He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries.  

If you want to know how something works you take it apart. Quantum physics takes apart the universe.  In lab experiments, physicists find that light, which travels in waves, when observed, changes in form to particle.  Brain doctor and quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker: “the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . . The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.” The Greek priest and leading thinker of his day, Plutarch (40-120 A.D.), held that an idea, having no form by itself, but giving figure and form to shapeless matter, becomes reality.

In a holographic picture, illuminated by intersecting laser beams, you see 3-D without special glasses. At different angles, you see just what you would see if you were looking at a real object. If you cut a holograph into two pieces you get two complete pictures; cut it again and you get four complete pictures. A holograph is an allusion of the information we use to see. Putting this into perspective, information we’ve gained from the subatomic world, the not yet real world, you might say a dimension of infinite possibility, a thought giving figure and form to shapeless matter, the ancient sages of India said, “so is the microcosmic, so is the macrocosmic.”

No other life form on the planet thinks like humans; no other life form can create the things humans create; and no other life form has holy wars. The orthodoxy does not want you to think you have within you awesome power. It wants you to look to the orthodoxy for your answers.

It may well be that we evolved from apes. But the very fact that the world has become, as never before, hostile camps, says we did not mentally evolve from apes. With the information we now have, it is simply a question of time until the time-space world we now know becomes a reality you cannot imagine.  If you are familiar with the cutting edge of science, however, you can imagine a future “out of this world.” 

Astrology tells us we are moving away from the Age of Pisces, whose symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, and into the Age of Aquarius, whose symbol is the water-bearer. Astrologer’s Handbook, under Aquarius: “Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.” 

The same as quantum physicists, astrologers use numbers to give them information we don’t get from our sensibilities, the former using numbers to determine the aspects of matter, the latter to determine the characteristics and events of humans.  God geometricizes. Get used to the idea that everything happens for a reason—God’s reason for our being: here with increasing purpose, or the orthodoxy’s reason: for the good of the orthodoxy.

My representative is one-to-blame.  Politico reports the 22 patriotic Americans who held strong to the end of this latest skirmish.  My own representative, Kay Granger, who was not a Tea Party American, voted for raising the debt ceiling.  Below is her rationalization:

“I voted tonight to cut spending now and raise the debt ceiling.  Conservatives had two options:  Vote for a plan that cuts more than $900 billion from the federal budget – with another opportunity to cut even more six months from now – or vote “no” and support Senator Harry Reid and President Obama.  That was the choice.

Notice how twisted her logic is and the way she frames her rationalization.  She does not admit that she voted to allow the communist party (commonly known as the democratic party) to continue to destroy our financial property by giving them license to again raise the debt ceiling (take more of the citizen's money!)  In another part of her statement, she said we are the ones who are out of touch!  Wow!  Does a sane person continue to give dope to an addict?  No sane person would.  Does one give a new credit card to someone who is already in bankruptcy?  Now that's out of touch!

By the way, the current presidential candidates, Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul, voted against raising the debt ceiling.

The only way to win under these circumstances is to continue to vote down bill proposals until a real proposal (i.e., one that does not raise the debt ceiling) is put forth.  If a good bill does not present itself, then don't vote at all!

Washington Hypocrisy

I am so sick of the finger pointing, the blame game, that constantly goes on in Washington. These people, even Reid for example, forget who hired them. They seem to think that once they get the job they can do just exactly what they feel like doing. And Pelosi, OMG, will she ever stop the ranting? But here is the thing that is not limited to one side or the other: They think we are too stupid to understand what only they know. Our feeble minds cannot possibly understand what is meant by all those big words that have to do with the financial crisis our country is in. I mean let’s face it we are just way to inept to grasp all that confusing jargon. (Yes, I am being sarcastic)

 

But that being said the problem with their thinking is they have completely underestimated the power of the people who put them there in the first place. In addition, ironically, most of us have a higher education then most of them. But they have played Washington politics for so long, they have gotten away with these unscrupulous behaviors, and they have do not have to answer to anyone, let alone the American public. Holding them accountable is where change occurs. It is a lot of work and time consuming, nonetheless it is critical if we our kids, and grandkids, to have the future they are entitled to. Government needs to downsize dramatically and get the heck out of private business. I don’t know about you but I didn’t sign on for socialism/communism, consequently peaceful, loving change is in order. We cannot lower ourselves to the name-calling, lying, and petty behavior that many of them display. We have to remember at all cost that we are better than that and in the end the truth always prevails.

 

The internet, along with other social media tools, have played an important part in spreading the word and 'enlightening' people at a much quicker rate then decades ago. Some of these people, like McCain for example, need to move along and get out of Washington where their backstabbing, lack of veracity, accompanied by his constant flip-flopping will no longer be tolerated by the American people. If we accept these behaviors, as a people, such as the comments made by McCain yesterday, we have learned absolutely nothing. You know, we have all been in difficult positions at one time or another, where we had to stand alone for what we believe in, yet somehow we managed to survive; we can hold our head high as a result. Integrity is the one thing that can never be taken away.

What "WE THE PEOPLE" Can do...

I like to watch tv just like the next guy, but what I don't like paying for is the leftwing programming.  What if everyone united and made a commitment to just say no.  Call our cable, dish/direct TV subscribers and cancel our subscription at the same time coordinated buy all active teaparty members through the United States.

When asked why tell them to contact the primary teaparty spokesman.  I know me and my friends will do this what about you.  The teaparty spokesman could demand a teaparty channels just like the spanish speaking channel, but not pay for it or any of the leftwing channels.  That would hit them where it hurts and maybe they would start to recognize that the teaparty is just everyday American people with a hugh voice!!!!!

 

What do you think?????

Tea party " HOBBITS "

John Mc Cain and the Wall Street Journal didn't investigate the " Hobbits " role in the trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

 

As a fellow Hobbit ( Tea Party member ) it was Hobbits that were made aware of the One Ring ( The National Debt ) that controlled all the other Rings ( the U. S. Economy ).

 

The Hobbits didn't ask for the One Ring but it was lost by the Creator of the One Ring in the Land of Mordor ( the U. S. Congress ).

 

Seeing the damage that the One Ring was creating to Middle Earth ( The United States of America ) it was obvious that the One Ring must be destroyed.

 

In the Land of Mordor another wanted to control the One Ring, Sauron ( President Obama ) with help from the wizard Saruman ( Harry Reed ).

 

They, Sauron and Saruman, sent out the Ringwraiths and Orcs ( the Democratic Congress ) to retrieve the One Ring but the Hobbits were caring not to let them take it.

 

With the help from the Elfs,Dwarfs and Men  ( the Republican Congress ) they were able to fight their way to the Land of Mordor where the Hobbits destroyed the Evil One Ring and restored Middle Earth to the rule of Men ( The American people ).

 

Thus Ends the Beginning

“Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.”**
 
All quotes by President Calvin Coolidge
 
 
 
Progressivism = Reactionary Politics,
Nihilistic Economics and Human Slavery
 
           Most thinking voters now realize, progressivism is a hideous political philosophy based upon the belief that we must ‘progress’ beyond ‘the ill-conceived and outdated U.S. Constitution’ in order to make progress toward an earthly Utopia. What most, even clear thinking, people don’t realize is that under the guise of “modernity” progressivism is an utterly reactionary approach to government. Totalitarian states and socialism have been the norm of human existence. Protecting people’s right to self-govern, is something virtually unheard of across history. It is freedom for individuals; and economic freedom; and documents that proclaim those individual and economic freedoms which are comparatively new on the world scene.
This great experiment, this United States that has stood as the “Shining City on the Hill” for the world to aspire to . . . that is something most rare. Despite the specious modernity of the word ‘progress,’ progressivism means rule by elites and that is as old as human history. Until some people somewhere else create a society, a government, a promise of human excellence better than American at her peak . . . the driving force in human political aspiration must be to recreate and imitate America at her peak . . . and for Americans: to return to and surpass that peak.
Has the world really made such great progress since our Constitution was born in 1787 and purified in 1791 with the addition of the Bill of Rights? Think even further back to the Declaration of Independence . . . think on the inspiring words of Calvin Coolidge as true today as when he spoke about the Declaration of Independence a full 85 years ago:
It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern.  But that reasoning cannot be applied to this great charter.  If all men are created equal, that is final.  If they are endowed with unalienable rights, that is final.  If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final.  No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.  If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people.  Those who wish to proceed in that direction cannot lay claim to progress.  They are reactionary.  Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.
 
In this moment in history when our present American president has no compunction whatsoever about moving us toward his sorry vision of Utopia . . . all of his supporters fooling themselves that they are racing headlong into a beautiful and rarely glimpsed future . . . imagine their shock if they were ever to succeed and then necessarily discover how much of all that they’re striving to so cavalierly toss onto the trash heap of history is what all of mankind has so long been aspiring toward. A great pity that great classics like George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm or Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are no longer read and people instead watch sitcoms and reality television . . . .
As for our “fearless leader,” it’s a great misfortune that unlike Coolidge who treated his place in history very humbly, saying  "It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man” -- it is obvious that Barack Obama mistakenly believes himself to be a great man.  While Coolidge lived to serve his countrymen, Barack Obama lives that his countrymen might more deeply serve him.
 
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
 
 
** In contrast, in Obama’s world today’s debt is how we enslave tomorrow’s children.  Notice how the Coolidge quotes like Coolidge himself are soft-spoken but when you think about them you see just how powerful the concepts behind them are:  for example,  the ones above a) tying the rise of civilization to the rise of profits or surplus b) putting forward a reverse angle view of the Robin Hood mentality that would pull the rich down by taxation c) and d) tying in with b) and showing collectivism, progressivism, Marxism, socialism, and etc. up for the false religions they are and e) bringing up the duty we owe to posterity and a warning against enslaving them via debt while more obviously showing us the only proper way to live.  By comparison, the more you examine Obama's words, the more empty they become . . . .

Let Them Drink Tea!

By John Lillpop

July 28 was an amazing day in America.

Early in the day, John Boehner, Erick Canter, and other Republican leaders confidently declared that the U.S. House would pass the Boehner plan and send it to the U.S. Senate where Harry Reid promised to run the document through a shredder immediately upon receipt.

Boehner had apparently turned the corner by telling his wild tea party members to “get you’re a**** in line!” Tough language usually works when delivered in stern tones and with clenched teeth.

By 11PM, Boehner and crew had cancelled any action on his namesake bill due to a lack of votes. The Speaker headed home as did Harry Reid after turning his shredder off for the day.

July 28 will be indelibly stamped on Boehner’s brain as the day that the Tea Party came of age in the U.S. If there was any lingering doubt as to the commitment, energy, and integrity of the Tea Party gang, all such doubt was erased as they brought down the Speaker and forced him to eat crow with the entire nation waiting to watch the House vote.

Democrats are snickering with glee at the rude treatment visited upon the befuddled Speaker.

A word of caution to Democrats: Do not underestimate the power of the Tea party. These patriots mean business and operate under the slogan, “Let them drink tea!”

A Battle Victory, but a Turncoat Among Us!

We had a small but significant battle victory yesterday when we stopped the "vote" on the disgusting bill that Mr. Boehner was going to send over to the senate.  That liberal bill would have been twisted further into the communist mold and sent back to the house, eventually being "passed".  That would have been a victory for the communist-led senate. 

 

But as often occurs during an argument, one can find out what side a person really stands on when the pressure increases.  In this case, Allen West of Florida, showed his true colors.  From what I understand from FOX News this morning, Mr. West was voted in by us, yet he now favors the business-as-usual, liberal and spineless "bill" that John Boehner put forth to be voted upon yesterday.  That bill would have been an aid and comfort to the enemy. 

 

Take notice Florida Tea Party!  You have a turncoat among you!  You better make plans to VOTE OUT Mr. Allen West the first chance you get.  He apparently likes his new job better than his duty to the citizens of conservative Florida!  Keep throwing the tea overboard!

 Satire By John W. Lillpop


Once again, Comrade Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco has made headlines, this time with an out-of-this-world remark about the ongoing debt-ceiling war.

The former Shrieker of the House entertained the world with this pearl of wisdom:

“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget,” she said. “We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”


So, just what is “Life as we know it” according to this bug-eyed grandma and is it worth saving?

Consider the fact that Comrade Nancy does hail from San Francisco—the only American city that tried to join the former USSR, but was rejected because Moscow found folks here too far to the left.

In San Francisco, “Life as we know it” includes the following untoward circumstances, because in San Francisco it is:

*A felony to vote Republican;

*Against the law to fly Old Glory without a special permit on Cinco de Mayo day when the Mexican flag is preeminent, and must not be mocked with vulgar displays of excessive Americanism;

* A hate crime to speak English at fast-food restaurants, car washes, emergency rooms, and whenever speaking to Hispanics obviously here illegally;

* A violation to wear the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines, especially when one does so with an arrogant, “America First,” belligerence.

* True that attending a Christian church will automatically cause one's property taxes to double. However, there is an appeals process.

* Required that job applicants prove that they are transvestite, gay, handicapped, or a racial minority to qualify;

* A major crime to work at Wal-Mart;

*Possible to get an abortion on one of those fabulous cable cars, at most self-serve gas stations, at progressive piano bars, and at Alcatraz Island after 6pm, except on Mother's Day;

* Not enough to be a young Middle Eastern male who speaks Arabic in order to be considered a protected minority. In order to be so classified, one must have been arrested and charged with a terrorist act--- like attempting to move the Golden Gate Bridge to Oregon with an IED;

* Required that straight, white, employed Christian males notify the police 60 days before moving into a new neighborhood;

* Necessary to enroll as a dues-paying member of ACLU in order to secure a driver’s license;

*True that convicted sex offenders moving into San Francisco are automatically registered to vote as Democrats.


Therefore, the question as to whether liberalism spawns a life worth living is very much a matter of judgment and morality—both of which are in very short supply in the mind of Nancy Pelosi and other moon bats in ‘Frisco!

Things in Washington

I just received the message below from someone I know very well.  I had to shake my head at their outrage over everything in this message and ask myself "Who is responsible for this?"

 

We are, each of us.  We elected the folks in Washington that voted for these bills and enacted these programs because we listen to their song & dance and warnings-promises-scary messages    that if we would only vote for them, they will fix these problems.  So, we vote for them then we ignore them for another 2 or 4 or 6 more years until they come back with their dog and pony show again, "vote for me and I'll fix these problems".  We do and they go back to business as usual and we go back to our ignorant bliss.

 

Right now in Washington, YOUR Congressman and Senator are arguing over nickel and dime programs while this country spends $10,000,000,000 PER DAY more than we have.  For you numerically challenged that is TEN BILLION DOLLARS!

 

One side wants to take more money, by saying the RICH should pay more. They call it "Enhanced Revenue".   Well, just who are those people they cal rich? It's everyone who makes money from any source. 

 

Yep, that's right anyone and everyone who makes money is rich.

You have a job and pay taxes? YOU'RE RICH!

You have a job with a retirement plan?  Then your retirement money is invested in the stock market, so.  YOU'RE RICH!

Are you drawing a pension in addition to Social Security? (see above, it’s in the stock market too). YOU'RE RICH!  You're not only rich, you're so rich we are going to take part of your retirement check AND reduce your Social Security because you had the audacity to earn more than we think you should.

 

You feel rich?  By their definition you are and they want some more of it. But they only want to help the senior's and poor.  They helped us so much, last year they removed $500,000,000,000 from Medicare by abolishing the Advantage program that we could opt for and pay for, among other things that "we had to pass the bill to know what was in the bill". 

 

The other side says that everyone pays enough and they want to cut spending.  They're half right, we do pay too much and the government spends too much.  But what do they want to cut?  Social Security and Medicare.  Programs we paid for our entire working lives.  I haven't heard any talk of cutting "Earned Income Credit" that little known safety net to help the working poor.  Bull Shit, but more about this one later!  We haven't heard about cutting money to foreign countries.  We haven't heard about stopping corporate welfare.  They don't talk about fixing tax codes or programs that might hurt the big money people who paid to get them elected.

 

And speaking about corporate welfare . . .

How many mortgage brokers went to jail?

How many bankers went to jail?

How many General Motors executives went to jail?

How many Chrysler executives went to jail?

 

They said these companies were too big to let fail.  Who the hell let them get that big if the first place?  So what did they do?  They gave them Billions of our money and made them merge with others too big to fail.  Doesn't that just make them bigger? I don't know of any of these regional or local banks that were too big to fail.

 

A few years ago, didn't they say AT&T and Microsoft were too big and force them to split up?  Did they pay them to diversify? I don't think so.  Why don't they break up these "too big to fail" businesses and reintroduce some marketplace competition? 

 

By the way, of all those Billions we gave those companies, where is it?

 

>The banks shipped it to foreign subsidiaries. But they won't make loans in the USA.

>Chrysler was sold to an Italian company.

>GM issued stock to the US Treasury and used the money to pay back the US Treasury.  (An IOU in lieu of a loan payment).  Then spent a zillion bucks advertising that "We paid our TARP loan back" until someone with more brains than the US Treasury blew the whistle on them.

 

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

 

I have sat back and watched for the last three years as this working poor game the tax system, lie and cheat to hit their maximum "refund".  Many actually quit their jobs when they have reached that peak earning limit for the maximum refund, because once you earn more, you get less.  In other words, Congress tells them this is what they want you to earn and no more.  Because if you earn any more, you move into that category of Rich and they will take it away from you.  They pay you to stay poor and more important dependant.  Dependant on Whom, you ask?  Them, the government, the social hand holders who need you to keep voting for them while they keep promising to fix things.  The only thing they want to fix is their own entitlements to their jobs in Washington and then their lifelong pension. 

 

When Pat owned her restaurant, we had trouble finding people to work for minimum wage.  Why?  Because in order to match the Federal and State assistance programs for rent, medical, food stamps, earned income credit, and utilities, we would have had to pay $40,000 a year.  At that time that was close to what I made and worked my ass off.  But if you earn minimum wage you loose almost all of the assistance.

 

Every Federal program and budget gets an automatic increase every year.  For the sake of argument, let's say that increase is 10% (I, know it may be 8.7745% or 9.45643%, but let's use a nice round number so you can follow this).  Congressman R or Senator S proposes that spending be limited to only a 7% increase.  Congressman L and Senator C runs to the TV cameras and cries that they want to CUT spending for Grandma and Grandpa by 3% and bimbo blond talking head goes on the nightly news and says Grandma will be eating ALPO because of these cuts and school kids will starve because they will be dumping two tofu veggies they didn't eat instead of three they didn't eat.  (Nothing to do with they taste like shit because the food police have already been there).

So, what do we do? We wake up for a few days and call that Guy that promised to fix things and tell him to fix this.

 

So, I'm through ranting.  How do we really fix this?  We pray that those people in Washington finally get it.  Any chance of that?  Nope!  They have already shown they don't get it.  Some of them got our message last November, but some have already forgotten our message.

 

According to Congressman Jo Ann Emerson,  "The Bible, the guide of our lives, is 1,291 pages and contains 774,746 words. But the Tax Code and its regulations which are referred to by some as, 'a person's worst nightmare come true' is 9,471 pages and over 7 million words."  How stupid it that.

 

1.  Repeal all 9,471 pages and adopt either the Flat Tax, no deductions or the Fair Tax.  I prefer the Fair Tax, but don't really care which.  One page is all it should take.

 

2. Pass a balanced budget amendment.

 

3. Comply with the Constitution of the United States. ALL OF IT!

       

4.  Try every elected and appointed official for TREASON if they violate their oath.

 

5. Repeal the 17th Amendment to the Constitution.

 

California and the rest of the states can take care of themselves if we follow the above 5 recommendations.

 

 

......        ORIGINAL MESSAGE THAT SET ME OFF...........

 

 

Subject: What the HELL's wrong???

 

There are millions of Americans thinking the same thing.  If we don't start taking care of our OWN, what's going to happen?  If they are cutting the budget all over the United States' federal and state government programs, how can we afford to send so much money over seas to other countries. 

 

The deserving people we help around the world deserve better but we truly    have no way of knowing who actually benefits -- too many times the food,    medicine, etc., is intercepted by the government and it never reaches the    people it was intended for.  I don't know who wrote this but it certainly gives US something to think about.

AMEN TO THIS

 

What the HELL's wrong???    

 

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

 

 

Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :

 

1- Calif's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit 

 

2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get     benefits. 

 

Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?

 

3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care  -  At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25  million a year  

 

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

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

 

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden.  Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

 

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of food to Foreign Countries!

 

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

   

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Sad isn't it?

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On July 23, 2011:

President Obama’s China adviser, Evan Medeiros, has a long history of downplaying the threat to U.S. interests posed by Beijing’s rapid military and economic growth, once even penning a paper that argued China should embrace a “great power mentality.”

Medeiros was appointed as China director of the White House National Security Council in 2009.

He was a foreign policy adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign and even donated $3,800 to the candidate, his only campaign contribution on record since 2000.

Read about the growing conflict, in “AMERICA FOR SALE: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty.”

Medeiros has been an external researcher at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, where he has given several recent lectures.

He was formerly a senior research analyst at the Arms Control Association in Washington, D.C. He was also a project associate with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and joined the RAND Corporation as a political scientist in 2002.

Prior to that, Medeiros was a senior research associate at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute.

In his most recent “Inside the Ring” column in the Washington Times, Bill Gertz cited congressional Republicans as identifying Medeiros as a key player involved in the Obama administration’s policy of refusing to sell needed arms toTaiwan.

The same report blamed Medeiros for delaying the release of a second Pentagon report to Congress on the shifting air power balance in the Taiwan Strait.

The Times also cited Republican staff aides and a defense official as stating they believe Medeiros is behind efforts to block the release to Congress of the Pentagon’s annual report on Chinese military power, completed months ago and due to Capitol Hill on March 1.

The report on China’s military was also delayed last year. When it was eventually released, the report was watered down with a minimized title. Previously called the “Annual Report to Congress: Military Power of the People’s Republic of China,” the report was renamed “Annual Report on Security Developments Involving China.”

Medeiros, meanwhile, was fingered by Gertz’s sources as a key official in preventing the U.S. sale of 66 advanced F-16 jets to Taiwan and for delaying the sale of equipment to upgrade Taiwan’s existing F-16s. Both military moves were expected to anger China.

A review of Medeiros’s articles and statements to the news media finds a regular trend of minimizing China’s threat to the U.S.

In 2009, just before his appointment to the NSC, Medeiros stated China was not seeking to “confront the United States or expel it from the region.”

He argued China was not aiming to replace America as a superpower.

In 2007, Medeiros, speaking as an expert at the RAND Corporation, argued Beijing’s military buildup is limited to Asia and it has not sought to project power globally.

“Cumulatively, this is a substantial amount of money devoted toward military modernization. And it’s clearly a reflection of the Chinese government’s priorities and the fact that they seek to build a modern military with regional power projection capabilities,” Medeiros said.

In 2005, Medeiros said of China’s People’s Liberation Army: “Do the old shibboleths still apply – that the Chinese defense industry is backward, poor and low-quality?”

“No,” he continued. “It seems China has turned the corner. … For the first time in 20 years, the PLA has adopted reforms that make sense. They adopted, and implemented, and are really learning quickly.”

Medeiros that year was lead author of a 300-page RAND study, “New Directions for China’s Defense Industry.”

In 2002, he minimized China’s missile project, telling The Economist that the Chinese “don’t really see missiles as weapons of mass destruction while most American policymakers equate the two.”

In an article in the November-December 2003 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, Medeiros, with analyst M. Taylor Fravel, presented the views of experts on Chinese foreign policy as stating China should overcome its long-held “victim mentality” and adopt a “great power mentality” instead.

Speaking to Knight Ridder in 2001, Medeiros stated, “The Chinese defense industrial base is very outdated and dilapidated, especially in these areas where warfare is headed.

“They don’t have the high technology to compete at all,” he said.

He stated China’s ships and planes, at least those not acquired from Russia, are outfitted with technology equal to what American forces had in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

“So if they ever got in a battle with the United States, we could destroy their forces before they ever saw us,” Medeiros added.

Still, Medeiros has incorporated criticism of China into his work. His 2005 RAND study, for example, said China “needs to do more to enforce its own controls.”

Stated the study: “China has erected a structure that has a strong legal basis to control exports of goods that can be used for making weapons of mass destruction, but it hasn’t devoted the necessary financial or political resources to make these controls effective.

“This is a persistent and glaring weakness,” the study said.

Note:  The following websites and report reveal that George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) funds: (a) organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending; (b) organizations that favor global government, which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies; and, (c) the Peace and Security Funders Group (PSFG), which is a liberal internationalist coalition of U.S. donors who believe the best way to prevent wars, constrain rogue nations, and prevent the spread of nuclear weapons is to let international laws and organizations set the terms of world peace. The umbrella group, whose listed supporters claim to have assets exceeding $25 billion, aims to entangle the U.S. government in a process of international negotiation to create a new global legal regime. It would likely limit U.S. sovereignty and replace a strong national defense with endless rounds of international rulemaking and consensus-building-You Decide:

(a) Organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending:

  • The American Friends Service Committee, which views America as the world's chief source of international strife, has long had a friendly relationship with the Communist Party USALamenting that “the United States spends 59% of the discretionary federal budget on military-related expenses,” the Committee seeks to “realign national spending priorities and to increase the portion of the budget that is spent on housing, quality education for all, medical care, and fair wages.” In 2000, George Soros himself was a signatory to a letter titled “Appeal for Responsible Security” that appeared in The New York Times. The letter called upon the U.S. government “to commit itself unequivocally to negotiate the worldwide reduction and elimination of nuclear weapons,” and to participate in “the global de-alerting of nuclear weapons and deep reduction of nuclear stockpiles.”

(b) Organizations that favor global government, which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies:

  • According to George Soros, “We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy.” Consistent with this perspective, the Open Society Institute in 2008 gave $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation, which “works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.” Moreover, OSI is considered a “major” funder of the Coalition for an International Criminal Court, which aims to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures in certain cases to an international prosecutor who could initiate capricious or politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. officials and military officers.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on FoxNews.com-By William Lajeunesse-On July 26, 2011:

The failed federal anti-gunrunning program known as Operation Fast and Furious got so out of control in November 2009, it appeared the U.S. government was single-handedly “arming for war” the Sinaloa Cartel, documents show, even as U.S. officials kept lying to fellow agents in Mexico about the volume of guns it helped send south of the border.

Those shocking allegations are revealed in the latest congressional report investigating the operation.

At one point, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives say guns sold under the program took just 24 hours to travel from a gun store in Phoenix to a crime scene in Mexico. ATF agents there pleaded for help but were told nothing about Fast and Furious, which was intended to let guns “walk” in order to track them to higher-profile traffickers.

Meanwhile, the report claims the agents’ superiors in Washington met every Tuesday, to review the latest sales figures and the number of guns recovered in Mexico.

“How long are you going to let this go on?” Steve Martin, an assistant director of intelligence operations asked the ATF top brass at meeting Jan. 5, 2010, according to a transcript of the meeting contained in the congressional report. None of the men responded and several quickly left the room, the transcript reveals.

By Feb. 27, 2010, Lanny Breuer, the head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department in Washington, D.C., was allegedly told that the ATF had successfully helped sell 1,026 weapons worth more than $650,000 to members of the Sinaloa cartel. The briefing included all top ATF officials, including the agents in charge in Los Angeles and Houston, as well as a half dozen top Justice Department attorneys.

“So there’s no doubt after this briefing that guns in this case were being linked to the Sinaloa cartel?” a congressional investigator asked Martin during a July 2011 interview.

“I’d say yes.” Martin replied.

“Very apparent to everyone in the room?” the investigator asked.

“That’s correct,” Martin said.

Meanwhile, ATF agents in Mexico were seeing a flood of weapons coming south. When asked, ATF brass told the resident ATF attaché in Mexico things were “under control.”

“They were afraid I was going to brief the ambassador on it or brief the government of Mexico,” said Darren Gil, former ATF attaché in Mexico.

For months, officials assured Gil that Fast and Furious was going to be “shut down,” but it wasn’t.

“We’re getting hurt down here,” Gil told ATF International Affairs Chief Daniel Kumor.

Kumor reportedly raised Gil’s concerns and was told the case “was going great,” and nothing happened until the death of Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.

Ironically, a year before, in December 2009, Southwest Border Czar Ray Rowley threatened to expose Operation Fast and Furious because of “the large number of guns that had already been trafficked” but ATF officials talked him out of it.

When the case was finally revealed in the press, Gil said, “never in my wildest dreams ever would I have thought of (gun walking) as an (investigative) technique. Never. Ever. It was just inconceivable to me.”

“You don’t lose guns. You don’t walk guns. You don’t let guns out of your sight.”

Gil also testified at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Tuesday where one ATF supervisor left members of Congress exasperated.

William Newell, who was formerly in charge of the Phoenix office, insisted that guns don’t walk despite the facts clearly showing they did, he knew it and approved it time and time again.

Newell said the purpose of the operation was to dismantle the entire Mexican cartel but agents testified they were not allowed to do that when they saw transfers of money and weren’t permitted to follow the money.

Lawmakers repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to nail Newell down.

“I acknowledge we made some mistakes,” Newell said when asked by committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa,R-Calif., whether he thought it was a good program.

“You were right on that,” Issa said.

Under fierce questioning from other lawmakers, Newell said that taking out “just one straw purchaser” has “no effect on the larger investigation.” 

The precise number of casualties in Mexico isn’t known, but ATF officials confirm the murder of Mario Gonzales Rodriguez, brother of the Chihuahua attorney general, with a Fast and Furious gun.

According to the report, the U.S. knew for eight months of the link between the ATF operation and his death, but refused to tell any Mexican officials. Finally the acting ATF attaché told the Mexican Attorney General Maricela Morales. Her reply, “Hijole,” which translates into “Oh my.”

“The highly probable upcoming caving-in by the House Republicans and their even less forthright Senate Republican companions smacks of a huge betrayal (by the ‘party of small government’) of the American people. Despite the Obama budget’s 0-97 defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate all his posturing today on the debt ceiling is taken up by the liberal media as Gospel Truth and as serious efforts at dealing with the nation’s problems . . . they are neither. Yes, Republicans, you need to call his bluff! His own party has already shown by that 0-97 vote that they have taken his measure and realize his presidency is a 100% joke.”

 
 "Has John Boehner got the testicles to go with the tears?"
 
 
 
 
Government by Socialist-Elite in the Offing?
 
 
          Imagine that the Great Government Boondoggle-goddd in the Sky** suddenly dropped $13.5 TRillion in Gold bullion onto the Whitehouse lawn. Applied to the National Debt, all but a measly $1 Trillion would be scrubbed clean. Rajjpuut ventures to say that this visitation by the goddds would be absolutely the worst thing that could ever happen to the United States of America. This, my friends, whether you recognize it or not, is the moment in which the United States decides upon its viability for the next century.  Unwanted interference by the goddds no matter how beneficent it might appear can only destroy this crucial moment when men must decide upon their values and how those values are reflected in our government. These are the crucial issues being decided NOW:
 
A.    Is the U.S. Constitution a worthy document?
B.    Is small government protecting the people’s freedoms relevant nowadays?
C.    Are America’s citizens going to be held accountable for their own survival and prosperity or will 98% of that role forever be the province of nanny-state government eliminating our freedom in exchange for burping us and cleaning our diapers?
D.   Are free markets worth protecting?
E.    Is socialism a better economic system than capitalism?
F.    Are the people we elected in 2010 to cut spending, create jobs and begin restoring our nation’s glory going to sell us out, this week?
G.   Has John Boehner got the testicles to go with the tears?
Economist Milton Friedman once summed up all government irresponsibility this way: “To spend is to tax.” The highly probable upcoming caving-in by the House Republicans and their even less forthright Senate Republican companions smacks of a huge betrayal (by the “party of small government”) of the American people. Despite the Obama budget’s 0-97 defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate all his posturing today on the debt ceiling is taken up by the liberal media as Gospel Truth and as serious efforts at dealing with the nation’s problems . . . they are neither. Yes, Republicans, you need to call his bluff! His own party has already shown by that 0-97 vote that they have taken his measure and realize his presidency is a 100% joke.
The President and his Democrats have let it be known that social security checks and checks for our troops might not be sent out if the present debt-ceiling is not raised and that a default is in the offing. The Republican Party leaders in the House and the Senate need to stand tough and get this message out: If the country defaults upon its debts, it is because Barack Obama chooses to default. If Social Security checks are not sent out, it is because Barack Obama chooses NOT to send them. If our military, engaged now in three separate wars, is not paid, it is because Barack Obama chooses NOT to pay them. And if the debt-ceiling is not raised and if foolish government spending is not cut significantly it is because Barack Obama chooses NOT to deal with these problems. 
Let’s force Barack Obama to decide what’s important and what’s not and let’s allow the American people to examine his priorities. He has not submitted one written proposal since his asinine budget was defeated 0-97 all he’s done is demagogue unfairly those who’ve submitted reasonable and serious proposals to eliminate our crises. If our credit rating is down-graded from AAA to AA which seems inevitable now, then it’s very likely that unless Obama chooses wisely following a failure to legislate an increase in the national debt . . . that the resulting chaos would further lower our credit rating and doom his presidency. Obama is all show and no go. All speeches and no statesmanship. He knows NOT how to govern. The only sure way to save this country is to call his bluff and force him to either accept a wise Republican bill or to be forced to govern – the one thing he fears the most.  Doug Powers recently blogged that despite the Pro-Obama hype from the media, the President is definitely not shrewd nor a statesman. “He’s somewhere between evil and incompetent . . . . Hopefully Social Security recipients are familiar with chess, because they’re now officially pawns in the president’s debt-ceiling game . . . . Let Obama demonstrate the choices he would make when forced to choose, I believe he will fall on his sword.” Well said, Doug!
 
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
 
 
** Of course, in truth the Great Government Boondoggle goddd is far more like a Mafioso organization which charges us outrageous protection fees every day of our lives.   In addition the credit card purchases and loans and mortgages they take out in your name are money borrowed from us which WE will in good time be required to pay back to them. The 100 million taxpayers in this country (the top 1% of taxpayers earning a minimum of $400,000 pay more than the bottom 97% and, while it does no justice to call them “taxpayers,” 51% or roughly 102 million pay ZERO taxes) must average $145,000 in taxes to pay off the $14.5 TRillion national debt. Of course there’s also the UNfunded liabilities like welfare, Social Security, Medicare, and the federal side of Medicaid which must be considered which amounts to another $98 TRillion that the productive part of society must pay for: which comes to another 980,000 we taxpayers must ante up   . . . or $1,125,000 owed by each taxpayer. Since the bottom-rated tax payers makes only a bit more than $34,000 . . . the enormity of the situation is obvious. The government’s credit card must be cut up into little pieces then burned and then the ashes must be vaporized.  As Grover Norquist once said, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
