From the polls, we know the Democrats are going to lose big, but do we know what is good for all? Don’t celebrate. You have not won yet. The Democrats are saying, “just wait till the Republicans take control.” Does the end result justify the means? Is there, perhaps, a hierarchy of more intelligent humans destined to lead us? Today’s vote is going to tell our leaders that we don’t believe Obama and the Democrats. Today’s vote is going to tell Republicans that they are notice.
To be sure, the Tea Party stands for constitutional government, according to the original intention. Most don’t know this but, actually, verifying what the ancients reasoned, quantum physicists, in lab experiments, have discovered that a timeless, spaceless dimension exists. They reason that in the mix of things an essential element is consciousness. In other words, the universe is both quantitative and qualitative, which associates with the quality of our lives. We should know now that we’ve sold out to the devil.
Chicago community organizer Sol Alinsky, and now Barack Obama organizing the poor for social action, Obama by bankrupting America (the poor think it is Obama’s money they are getting), we know good and evil. We know Obama is evil. You are not thinking if you believe Obama will move to the center after the election. If he possibly can, Obama will continue to move America to the point that there is no way but his way. Going for him, more than half of the American people, in one way or another, depend on government.
There is no way out of the mess liberal progressives—both Republican and Democrat—have underhandedly created and protected for years, at the expense of future generations, than to sacrifice and accept hardships. I’ve yet to hear any talk about it.
The vicious dog fight is going to continue after the election. Unless the Tea Party and Tea Party politicians have the stomach for it, and can convince the American people that we’ve got to go through a tough time or lose our freedom, and the freedom of generations to come, double dealing Obama is going to win in the end. We’ve got our work cut out for us. The world could be set back a thousand years if Obama wins.
Rajjpuut’s Predictions 2010
G.O.P. Dem Ind.
Governors 34 15 1
Senate 52 46 2
House of Reps 268 167 0
But Flynn let drive a single to the wonderment of all
And the much-despised Blakely tore the cover off the ball
And now the dust has lifted and they saw what had occurred
There was Blake SAFE! at second; and Flynn a-hugging third!
And from the gladdened MULTITUDE went up a joyous yell
It rumbled in the mountain tops, it rattled in the dell
It struck upon the hillside and rebounded on the flat
For Casey, MIGHTY CASEY, was advancing to the bat . . . .
Politics: The Art of the Possible
Rajjpuut memorized Ernest Lawrence Thayer’s marvelous poem Casey at the Bat, when he was eleven years old . . . there is something magical there (a proviso to the G.O.P. and presumably John Boehner as well) because, after all “MIGHTY CASEY” did strike out . . . If John Boehner “works with” President Obama he will succeed in repeating the debacle that Newt Gingrich encountered beginning in 1994. What happened there/then? The Republicans won 55 new house seats and also swept into controlling the senate . . . the G.O.P. owned both chambers of the Congress for the first time in several decades. The wily Bill Clinton facing-off against an optimistic Newt Gingrich who pledged to commanding the Republican horde into achieving their "Contract with America" . . . and Clinton . . . made Gingrich very, very sorry . . . and America much, much, much sorrier . . . .
History shows us that it was only after the 1994 midterm elections that Clinton was able to pass his two 1995 expansions of the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA ’77 which forced home lenders to make knowingly stupid home loans); and then the steroid expansion of that bill in 1998 which led to the financial debacle that began in August, 2007. To put things in perspective, in 1975, before CRA ’77 was passed just one in 404 home loans was granted at a questionable 3% down payment or less. After almost a decade of ACORN’s shenanigans mostly in Arkansas (it began as the Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now in 1977 with the assignment from Cloward, Piven, and Wiley to ACORN creator Wade Rathke to shake things up in voter registration and housing) the national “questionable home loan rate” had doubled from 0.24% to 0.51 of home loans offered at 3% down or less. Clinton, himself beginning in 1993 had started “creating” law via regulatory edict upon CRA ’77 and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And then twice in 1995 with the Republicans guarding the switch Clinton expanded CRA ’77. When the dust had lifted in 1995, 14.1% of home loans were being offered at a highly questionable 3% down payment or less, many required zero down payment. (By 2005 34% of home loans were questionable and now ACORN was pushing for $400,000 homes not $150,000) How did this disaster happen?
How did Clinton like a Tae Kwan Do black belt use the power of the powerful House Republicans against them? It happened, just as the strike out of MIGHTY CASEY did, because “pride goeth before the fall.” Because when “politics is the art of the possible,” all is well; and when politics becomes "the art of the compromise for appearance-sake," all is surely wrong.
The Republicans, you see were committed by Gingrich to passing legislation in the House in accord with their Contract with America. Since they had the majority, they could and did and included among their achievements was incredible Welfare Reform, all well and good. However, Gingrich went beyond the possible into the dirty world of compromise with the Devil (Clinton) and got smacked around like a schoolboy. It happened more or less because Gingrich’s pride could NOT accept passing a bill or several versions of a bill only to see Clinton veto it repeatedly after the senate sent it to him. His pride demanded that he ENACT legislation . . . something NOT in his power. Enter the fuzzy world of COMPROMISE . . . .
Gingrich’s pride would NOT allow him to pass a bill and call it a success, he must see it enacted . . . and there Clinton had him because Clinton was NOT facing a veto-proof congress. So the Republicans would set out and eventually pass a great piece of legislation, Constitutional and smart and Clinton would veto it. They would adjust a few things tinker with it here and there and get a few more Democratic votes and pass it again and again Clinton would veto it. Presumably if Gingrich had been content to keep passing good bills and been content with the few crumbs of success Clinton allowed to become law, much good would have done; the Contract with America would have been achieved (passing all the bills; not unfortunately enacting all of them); and Clinton’s approval rating would have dropped into the teens . . . instead because of his pride and compromising with Clinton . . . the Dems got credit for passing “monumental reform” legislation; and the Dems repeatedly snuck in little pieces of poison (like three CRA ’77 expansions) and so Clinton was resurrected and re-elected. “But, but, but HOW?” You ask.
After several vetoes of several versions of a particular bill, finally, the minority Democrats in the House would create virtually a twin of the most popular version of the same bill Clinton had just vetoed (with some teensy-teeny nasty progressive surprises such as the CRA ’77 expansions earlier mentioned in them dropped into the small print) . . . rather than standing upon principle and defeating the bill in the house, Gingrich and the Republicans went along with Clinton’s charade, time after time after time after time and helped Clinton go from 36% approval to about 65% approval by 1998 before Monica Lewinsky did him in. Yes, the G.O.P. did fulfill their Contract with America, but because of the wily Clinton the nation was much the worse for it . . . . And that is the lesson John Boehner must take from history as goes about meeting the Pledge to America. NO compromise with the Devil, please, Mr. Speaker!
To Mr. Boehner, instead of saying “I wish you bluebirds in the spring,” Rajjpuut says, “I wish you gridlock for two years . . . a spine of steel to dull your tears . . . and most of all, when critics call, I wish you luck!”

The Tea Party is the result of an individual awakening to the fact that America cannot continue on the course we have taken. Politicians don’t ask that we sacrifice and endure hardship. They scheme and connive how to let future generations sacrifice and endure hardship so we can live well. We are expecting to see a routing of America’s big spending politicians Tuesday, Novemeber 2.
We say we want constitutional government back. The original Americans came knowing they faced hardships. Their freedom was worth it. In freedom, they constructed our Constitution. In freedom, we built the greatest nation in the world. Then we started looking to government for help. Now that we are awake, the next step is to awaken to the fact that in order to change the present course we, individually, are going to have to be willing to sacrifice and endure hardships. We can’t depend on the elected.
in trouble they claim victim, O it is Glenn Beck's fault and Fox News,
or those Rino's, or the word they know belongs to Democrats
"radicals,or blame Sarah Palin, "purist". Know it is simple common sense
America's are looking at Obama saying what are you talking about, and
what do you think your doing, radical spending, pushing health care and
ignoring the economy and jobs except for the Government union
employees. Victim, you? you are the perpetrator and have no respect for
the US and the American people. Victim I never would have guessed it. So
you are also completely predictable.
If anything should get defeated Alaska incumbant senator Lisa Murkowski out of office, it's her unscrupulous act of getting radio host Dan Fagan fired at KQFD Alaska. Murkowski was fairly and squarly beaten in the primary by Tea Party endorsed Joe Miller, but like a greedy, spoiled, wanton child, she stomped her foot, and cried like a baby, demanding she stay in the race as a write-in candidate.

What if Republicans take back the House? Have they really heard the American people? It's not just winning a seat in Congress that matters, but appointments to decision making positions that matter. If the newly elected members of congress are not given positions that effect government spending, the change America is looking for may not happen.
TEA PARTY WINNERS MAY BE SILENCED BY GOP BOSSES.

“. . . a lot of other Europeans in the wake of the Climategate scandal have started calling environmentalists there, not just “greenies,” but now “watermelons” (green on the outside, deep RED on the inside) in recognition of the fact that the chief interest in Cap and Trade has been mainly kept alive by ultra-socialist groups and communists because it practically requires nationalization of all of a nation’s enterprises; requires the all-powerful central government to control all decisions about what to produce, where to produce it, when to produce, where to market it, and how, etc., etc. ad nauseum.” Rajjpuut
‘Progressive-Elitist’ John Kerry
Fumes Over Unsophisticated Voters
According to several internet stories, one-time Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is NOT a happy camper. According to Yahoo, Kerry would like to “elect a new people.” Complaining that Americans have “abandoned science and truth,” Kerry insists on preaching to anyone that will listen that Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck have led us into a new era of “know-nothingness.” Kerry, you see, is bitter over the fact that Cap and Trade legislation in the senate (a bill he sponsored) never even came to a vote there over the last 17 months, much less passed into law. Kerry feels that “. . . truth and science and facts don’t weigh in. It’s all short-order, lowest common denominator, cheap-seat politics.”
Kerry, the Senate’s richest man has apparently never read this ten and a half month old story:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936289.ece
Why not? Well, because the American MSM (mainstream media), that gives unrelentingly false and favorable coverage to folks like Kerry of the progressive-elite, failed to publicize the fact that even the ultra-liberal London Times (after examining the evidence released in so-called “Climategate” revelations) agrees that global warming is a hoax. That would mean that some particularly sane Americans like Rajjpuut who have long been “global-warming deniers” have actually abandoned gullibility and inanely following the crowd as far as the Europeans are concerned. By the way, here’s a list of 31,000+ other Americans (all scientists, with 9,000+ of them PhD’s who’ve also long denied global warming:
http://www.petitionproject.org/
And then there’s the fact that the 2,500 year model global warming theory was based upon had dropped 500 years out of their data collection. Which 500 years? The Medieval Warm Period when temperatures got so warm that ice virtually disappeared from the Northern Hemisphere and Greenland was truly green and Leif Erikson discovered Greenland, established Viking settlements there and even discovered “Vinland,” a.k.a. Canada’s Newfoundland and even established a short-lived settlement there also. So the reason recent times looked so warm is because the global warming “scientists” (we’ll use the word ‘loosely’) while they’d dropped the Medieval Warm Period from their calculations had put extra emphasis upon the 500 year long “Little Ice Age” that killed off the Vikings in Greenland . . . with all that happening and after creating false “hockey stick graphics,” of course the figures lied and said global warming was factual. Poor Senator Kerry never read this article about all that either:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/medieval-warm-period-rediscovered.html
Not only that but Kerry, who recently got a lot of global-heat from trying to avoid Massachusetts’ taxes on his yacht, likes to complain to other tuxedo-wearing participants at $1,000-a-plate dinners somehow couldn’t connect the outrageous taxes on his yacht to the laws passed by liberal fools like himself, preferring rather to gritch about Limbaugh, Beck, the TEA Party and the stupidity of the great unwashed masses who won’t simply take his every sainted utterance as pure GOSPEL . . . the nerve of them!
Kerry, of course, discounted entirely that Cap and Trade would immediately jack up all prices in the United states by 77% (our present economy is $13 trillion thanks to the recession; adding the $10 Trillion per year cost of cap and traded according to some of its most famous proponents . . . we’d then have a $23 TRillion economy based purely upon the addition of “blue sky”; resulting in 77% inflation) . . . leaving that aside for now . . . Barack Obama, in a rare moment of actual truth-telling, told the San Francisco Chronicle his Cap and Trade policy A) “would bankrupt the coal industry” and B) would also “necessarily make the price of electricity sky-rocket.” I guess the fact that 53% of the country still voted for Obama after that revelation spoiled Senator Kerry . . . he apparently assumed silly voters not only were very, very silly, but also absolutely could NOT learn even when the obvious was staring them in the face.
Of course a frequent tux-wearer on the other side of the Atlantic Lord Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer actually called Cap and Trade “a royal highway to corruption” while a lot of other Europeans in the wake of the Climategate scandal have started calling environmentalists there, not just “greenies,” but now “watermelons” (green on the outside, deep RED on the inside) in recognition of the fact that the chief interest in Cap and Trade has been mainly kept alive by ultra-socialist groups and communists because it practically requires nationalization of all of a nation’s enterprises; requires the all-powerful central government to control all decisions about what to produce, where to produce it, when to produce, where to market it, and how, etc., etc. ad nauseum.
Bjorn Lomborg, the famed “Skeptical Great Dane Environmentalist,” though he believes in global warming is an eminently practical and honest man. Lomborg has said that even if we imposed Cap and Trade, with all of its ability to straightjacket the already paralyzed world economy, it would result in barely a 1-degree difference in Global Warming by the end of this century. In response to the exaggerated alarmism of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” Lomberg created a documentary called “Cool It” which urges hisfellow environmentalists to cool the rhetoric about global warming as an existential threat to the planet.
As for Senator Kerry, the truth is that progressive elites like him owe the country a huge apology. All the worst ideas still plaguing America (and a lot of others as well) right now are rooted in progressivism, all of them. Think of the worst unfunded liabilities initiated for “all the best motives” and you’ve described progressivism to a “T.” Here are some of those ideas and the president’ in power when they began:
1. Truly Big Government: Teddy Roosevelt
2. Government Control over large land tracts: Teddy Roosevelt
3. The Federal Reserve Bank: Woodrow Wilson
4. The Income Tax: Woodrow Wilson
5. Fighting in Europe’s Wars: Woodrow Wilson
6. Government propaganda: Woodrow Wilson
7. Internment Camps: Woodrow Wilson
8. Controlling (and shutting down) the press: Woodrow Wilson
9. Big interfering Government: Herbert Hoover
10.Ultra-high protective tariffs: Herbert Hoover
11. Huge Tax and Spend Government: FDR
12.Confiscation of Gold: FDR
13. Devaluing the Dollar: FDR
14. Ultra-big Government: FDR
15. Social Security: FDR
16. Expansive Welfare: LBJ
17. Medicare: LBJ
18. Medicaid: LBJ
19. Government Bailouts of Cities: Gerald Ford
20. Government control of Mortgage Industry Jimmy Carter
21.Government bailouts of companies: Jimmy Carter
22. Expansions by fiat thrice by legislation to Carter’s CRA: Bill Clinton
23. Motor Voter Act: Bill Clinton
24. TARP bailouts: G.W. Bush
25. Federal Government involved in bankruptcies: Barack Obama
26. Nationalized Healthcare insurance: Barack Obama
27.Government control of auto companies: Barack Obama
28. Government control of Banks: Barack Obama
29. Government control of student loans: Barack Obama
30. Financial control “reform”: Barack Obama
31. Bailouts of Banks and Wall Street: Barack Obama
32. State Socialism: Barack Obama
Remembering the “Watermelon-Connection” wherein ultra-socialists “green on the outside and Deep RED on the inside” want to use Cap and Trade as a stepping-stone to government takeover of virtually everything because it practically requires nationalization of all of a nation’s enterprises; requires the all-powerful central government to control all decisions about what to produce, where to produce it, when to produce, where to market it, and how . . . . isn’t it fitting that Barack Obama and progressive-elitist and would-be president Kerry are so interested in this seriously flawed “science?” And so looking over that unending list of failure every time serious government taxing, spending, control or interference is contemplated, Senator Kerry still just can’t understand why the masses of sheep are no longer following him to the slaughter house, "It's absurd. We've lost our minds," he keeps repeating.

“He has betrayed some of the people all of the time; all of the people some of the time; and even though he’s been caught betraying the truth on at least 1,000 significant matters*** . . . in accord with the teachings of Saul Alinsky, Obama continues to seek to betray all Americans all the time.” Rajjpuut
Obama’s Friends, Ends, and Means Become Transparent;
and Abhorrent as Americans Slowly Become
Aware of the Identity of the “Real Barack Obama”
Three of Barack Obama’s most surprising support groups in the 2008 presidential election were White voters earning $200,000 or more, Roman Catholics, and Jewish voters. Obama won the election with a 6+% edge over John McCain overall, but among wealthy Whites had an 8.5% edge; a 9% edge as far as Roman Catholics; and with an incredible 60% edge among Jews. It now appears that these three groups; and Independents which he won by a 16 point edge; and women who gave him a 12 point edge are NOW abandoning Obama and his Democrats in droves. People will do that to a politician they regard as treacherous. In truth Obama has betrayed some of the people all of the time; all of the people some of the time; and even though he’s been caught betraying the truth on probably 1,000 significant matters*** . . . in keeping with the teachings of Saul Alinsky, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. continues to seek to betray all Americans all the time.
Before we get to the meat of this discussion about Barack Obama, let us clear up two important terms: “Progressives” and “Liberals.” Rajjpuut is now amending his definition of the term “Progressive” from “someone who wants to ‘progress’ beyond the ‘outdated’ and ‘severely flawed’ Constitution of the United States”. Rajjpuut sees now that his old definition is inadequate. The new definition adds this shocker: “Progressive from malice wish to overthrow the United States, a land they hate.” So what, then, is a liberal? Liberals are the unthinking storm troopers of the progressive movement. To be more accurate: liberals are goody-two shoes who are determined to correct the world’s ills by stealing (taxing) other people’s money and power over their own lives; liberals are well-intentioned with your money, of course, but because they are unwilling to think, they are natural cannon fodder for the Progressives who can and will do the thinking for the liberals around them. The chief political produce of the progressive and the chief political diet of the liberal are LIES.
In America a massive amount of evil all begins with liberal White guilt. Now Rajjpuut, who has never owned a slave is not the sort of fellow who feels guilt about much he does, or doesn’t do; or about what he says or thinks – prefers to live life in the moment doing his best . . . but the doctrine of White guilt is one of the more important ones among about 60 key politically correct doctrines that progressives have taught to silly Whites interested in coming to terms with their inner need to feel despicable and unworthy. Now Rajjpuut’s kin folk arrived in America in 1854 and went to raising kids and farms and never owned anybody . . . but just for the hell of it, let’s pretend that the original Rajjpuut to set foot in North America owned 7,000 slaves; beat them daily; raped their women nightly; made a sadistic game out of splitting up families by selling the parents off in two different directions; and sometimes even spit on the sidewalk and took the lord’s name in vain. If that were all 100% true, what in God’s name does it have to do with me here and now?
Do the actions of some crap-head in the mid-19th Century, dead at least a hundred years now . . . do his actions justify anyone’s support of Barack Obama’s efforts to destroy America? Does that long ago evil past justify some present-day progressive crap-head calling me “racist” or “bigoted” or “stupid” or “an extremist” when my life history says I’m not only NOT anything I’m accused of, but that I’m a whole lot more intelligent politically and fiscally and Constitutionally then the top 10,000 of my detractors? Now this is easily understood and pitifully common knowledge, but somehow 53% of all Americans and 48% of White Americans were recruited by a man of absolutely zero accomplishment and a negative value of integrity to participate willingly in their own political and economic annihilation . . . a man whose basis for charisma is that he won’t admit he’s half-White; grew up four years in Muslim schools; and is an out and out Marxist (because surely if he admitted all those truths, he would seem much less charismatic, no?) . . . are we expressing this correctly? And just to kick the “racism accusers” while they’re down: didn’t Obama win the Black vote by 92% while McCain won the Whites by 4%? The real racists are evident, eh?
Up to now we’ve seen a shucking and jiving caricature of the real Barack Obama . . . now as it becomes apparent that his policies have blown back in his face and in the faces of the liberal idiots that voted with him (and I include Republican Senators Snow and Collins among those idiots, as their day is coming) . . . now we are from time to time seeing the emergence of the real Barack Obama . . . a hate-filled pathetic pygmy of a man . . . where is that vaunted charisma now? A president who calls other Americans “enemies” has lost all charisma. A president who treats the American way of life and all Americans as the enemy oppressors in some sick notion of imperialism against the 3rd World which he champions is a sick-sick-sick individual. Our founders could never have envisioned how large, tyrannical, intrusive, wasteful and self-perpetuating our federal government could become—nor could they have imagined an American president using that bloated government to destroy the American free market system.
The media have made a big deal of recent polling data showing Barack Obama losing serious support among Independents, Women, Jews, rich Whites, Hispanics, young people and college graduates. Let’s clear this up here and now, courtesy of the much-reviled TEA Party movement’s forced awareness upon the electorate: Barack Obama is suffering serious loss of support from every single important group in America except racist Blacks . . . and who knows, perhaps the unfair treatment of Juan Williams at the hands of the progressive idiots at NPR will even open some important eyes among wise Blacks . . . hey, if Jesse Jackson can see the light, there’s hope, there’s hope.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Tax and Spend Democrats Sure
to Hit ALL of Us in 2011
In the ultimate condemnation of the Democratic Party and a scenario likely to become common across the nation in the next two months . . . the Wyoming Attorney General’s office has recently been swamped with inquiries about legal steps required to avoid life-saving medical care. The patients involved prefer death in 2010 to leaving their heirs open to sky- high estate taxes following death in 2011 or later. At present and until midnight of December 31, 2010 the estates of dying Americans will not be subject to taxes. After the Bush estate taxes expire one second past “Auld Lang Syne,” the so-called “Death Tax exemption” will go back to $1 million. The effect on small business and family business and family farms is sure to be devastating. Isn’t this a wonderful set of affairs, to save your family’s farm or business, you basically have to do yourself in . . . thank you, thank you, Barack . . . now that’s “fundamental transformation.”
Here’s what you can look forward to as the Bush tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 all expire (information from the great folks at MyDollarPlan.com) unless something is done in Congress very soon:
Tax Cuts Expiring in 2010
1. Income Tax Rates. The top tax rate rises from 35% to 39.6%. In addition, if nothing is done, it will mean higher taxes for every single American and a return of the marriage tax penalty. See the proposed 2011 tax rates for more information.
2. Capital Gains. The 0% long term capital gains rate will go away. Capital gains rates will go up to 10% for lower tax brackets and from 15% to 20% for higher tax brackets.
3. Dividends. Dividends will be taxed as ordinary income, with the new higher rates. Right now the dividend tax rates are 10% and 15%.
4. Child Tax Credit. The child tax credit will return to $500 from the current $1,000 per child. In addition, it may not be refundable for some taxpayers.
5. 529 Plans. 529 plan withdrawals will not be allowed tax free for computer or Internet access.
6. Business Taxes. In addition, various business taxes will change including the payroll tax credit and section 179 expense deduction.
7. Estate Taxes. Without any action, the estate tax (or "death tax" as some like to call it) exemption will go back to a $1 million exemption.
8. Other Tax Credits. The tuition credits will be limited, as will the earned income tax credit.
9. Mortgage Premiums. You will no longer be able to deduct mortgage insurance premiums after December 31, 2010.
Five of these items (#1, #4, #6, #7, and #9) will be especially crippling to the nation as the country strives to rebound from the recent financial debacle. If Barack Obama had any economic sense we would see an across-the-board extension of all nine of these tax cuts. But Rajjpuut’s NOT holding his breath . . . .
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
NO help from LATTA
Seems they think they did all that they could for me. I've gotten ZERO response since my first contact with a aid, after writing 3 times, concerning "Blue Water Veterans". You would think they would care alittle. Ask yourself this, "How many elected offices are filled by veterans?" Congress would rather worry about taking care of our country's Illegals than American Veterans. I've been trying to get our ship's logs as the DOD and VA says we were never closer to shore than 100 miles........ BULL! Thats why "Blue Water Vets" don't qualify for assistance! Where did my PD come from people? Every ship in the Tonkin Gulf gets help except aircraft carriers. Like we didn't have any effect on the outcome of this conflict. Jane Fonda gets more press than our Vets. "HANOI JANE" was on Oprah and never mentioned her part in putting our servicemen in jeopardy. Funny how that was.

I am breaking my own rules and responding to this Neanderthal by "arguing with idiots," if you will. This is the typical leftist rant, class warfare, hillbilly tea partiers, etc.
Politicus USA, in a post on October 20, 2010 by Sarah Jones, in an article titled, "Tea Party Oligarchy: Trust Fund Babies Are Good For Workers":
“And liberty. Oh, sweet liberty of being born to the right parents like the founders intended. A nation built upon a system of oligarchs, don’t you dare tread on my trust fund you dirty ape and just in case, we have Sarah Palin the rude ingrate populist puppet to sell it all to you. Oligarchy first! Oh, land that I love….
“The Tea Party is running candidates who aren’t vetted and don’t know what they’re talking about when they puppet big corporate daddy lines or they’re just cuttin’ the puppets out and running the owners of said corporations. All of these things are being sold to you as populism. If you buy that, I’ve got some lovely land in Florida….Gold? A super hot book I wrote myself about myself?”
I'm trying to decide if you people are ill informed, naive, weak minded, or if you actually believe the drivel you write. When speaking of Republican money, you may not know that two-thirds of Wall Street CEOs are democrats. Let me quote the New York Times' article, "Democrats Retain Edge in Campaign Spending," by Michael Luo and Griff Palmer, Published: October 26, 2010:
“Lost in all of the attention paid to the heavy spending by Republican-oriented independent groups in this year’s midterm elections is that Democratic candidates have generally wielded a significant head-to-head financial advantage over their Republican opponents in individual competitive races.”
The fact is, the party of elitists is the Democratic party, whose leaders consist of the some of the richest politicians in the country, like the late Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Jane Harman, Jay Rockefeller, Mark Warner, Jared Polis, Frank Lautenberg, Dianne Feinstein, and Harry Teague. These Dems comprise 8 of the 10 richest senators and congressmen in D.C. Their combined wealth is approaching a billion dollars. Further, the Dems are funded by the largest unions in America. During this campaign cycle, the unions have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars. This, despite the fact the polls released this week, shows that union members preferred not to have their money spent this way.
I love the condescending attitude you leftists display mocking anyone who is not you. In your whitless diatribe you mock Christine O'Donnell and infer that she may not be a rocket scientist. I would much rather have her supposed naiveté, which in my estimation is honest patriotism, rather than the feigned intellectualism in D.C., than the scheming backroom, deal-cutting racketeers, which the dems proved themselves to be in the duplicitous handling of the health care package, which the public didn't want, doctors by better than a 2 to 1 margin decry, and economists say will cost trillions of dollars.
Perhaps some of you in the leftist brain trust can figure out how to pay for this latest
round of Marxist palaver. Don't bother to come back with the “tax the rich” scheme. If you took every asset of all of the top 3% of the richest Americans, most of whom are democrats, you would affect the national debt by less than 1%. And taxing small business owners who declare more than $250K annual income will break the back of an Obama weakened economy and drive the nation to ruin quicker.
But, when you think about it, perhaps that's the real goal of leftists like you any. If you can collapse the economy and drive the system into the ground, you and your progressive ilk can step right in and lead us to a bright and shining new world order.
Personally, I've seen enough of New World Orders in my time. I have seen the result of Mr. Hitler's New World Order … seventy million dead and an entire race targeted for genocide; I’ve seen Mr. Stalin's New World Order … forty three million dead. And the communist revolution in China had its own special New World Order; which enlightened the world …in excess of one hundred million people murdered.
Then there was the progressive heroine, Margaret Sanger; a true bulwark and champion of American liberalism and founder of Planned Parenthood. Only problem is, she was a eugenicist, who believed that blacks should be eliminated because they were "breeding and swarming like rats in the streets." Today while blacks make up only 13% of the population, black children account for one-third of all abortions. While 40 million children have been killed in the womb, over 13 million of them have been black children. If any other nation on earth were to slaughter 13 million black children, we would be screaming genocide and sending in UN troops. Today, we give them government money to carry out this genocidal initiative championed by the left.
Then there is good liberal, Woodrow Wilson, another hero of you folks on the left. Only problem is, Wilson was open about his hatred for America. He too was a eugenicist, who thought blacks inferior. In fact, he re-segregated government workers, government offices, and the military.
Robert Byrd, the conscience of the Democratic Party and a former KKK leader, who on Fox News national broadcast, threw around the "N" word, like it was nothing. This, by the way, was not a baited interview. I saw the interview live and the tossing around of the "White N" and "Black N" phrases were in no way related to the conversation. The passages were a complete non-sequitur. What does that tell us about his hidden thoughts?
Might I suggest you, and the rest of the progressive lemmings, go meet some Tea Party folks before you stereotype them as “an assemblage of doltish hillbillies.” You will find that most are above average in intelligence, above average in education, and from all walks of life: independent business people, plumbers, physicists, educators, students, tradesmen, white collar workers, stay-at-home wives, career women, preachers and politicians. They are the face of America. They are not the bearded Marxists, so representative of you pseudo-intellectual elite, who are, in jolting candor, really the intellectually effete.
History has shown your ideology, while sounding high tone, is in fact tone deaf to life beyond the walls of the self-induced delusion of your bookish ivory towers, which are, in reality, an intellectual ghetto in which you subsist.
Socialism has never, and will never, worked. It is a moribund philosophy, with a built in death mechanism. Any political philosophy, which has as the basis of success taking by force, or force of law from one to reward the ineptitude or sloth of another, is doomed to fail. Driving the lazy, inept, or duplicitous to the trough, while telling them they deserve a place at that trough, is courting both moral and financial exhaustion. At some point there will be so many people at the trough that there is no one left to fill the trough. At some point you run out of other people's money. When the goal of socialism is finally achieved, and the stated goal of economic equality is achieved, history shows us that the equality created is intellectual, moral, and economic bankruptcy.
Please do us all a favor. Before you destroy our medical system, talk to the Brits, who are walking away from socialized medicine. They realize it is a complete failure. Study Romney care: it is bankrupting the state of Massachusetts. Before government decided to step in and treat us like we were helpless idiots, who couldn't survive without them, each of us, and all of us, took care of our own families, took care of our elderly, took care of the poor among us, and shunned the professional dead beats. Because we were personally involved, we knew that the neighbor down the road was a hard worker, who was just having a hard time, and we, as individuals, lent a helping hand.
Conversely, the guy living across the street, well, he was a drunk and lazy. He chose to pursue happiness in his way ... the bottle and sloth. He is free to pursue that happiness. And when he fails, and his relatives have to adopt his children, take care of his wife, and he is alone in his whiskey clouded world, he will have accomplished his pursuit. Perhaps then, and only then, can he make a choice to pursue happiness in another way.
In other words, those of us in the Tea Party are not a bunch of toothless, ignorant rubes, needing your beneficent guidance to make it through the day. We are not asking you to provide for us, think for us, help us, and certainly, don't try to control us, tax us, or attempt to live our lives for us. What we really need from all of you good, caring liberals on the left, is to be "left" alone.
But, because we understand that you are still concerned about the poor and the downtrodden, I have come up with what might be the perfect plan. About 15% of the population is living below the poverty line. By the way, this is the same number of poor we had at the start of the great society programs under Lyndon Johnson.
There are about 20% of Americans who admit to being liberals. For you guilt-ridden leftists, we need to create a special form, from the government, which will provide this service for all of you. On the form you will swear that you are a good liberal, concerned about the poor and downtrodden, and that you believe that these people should be taken care of by their fellow Americans. On the form you will have the opportunity to either have enough money taken from your paycheck every payday to support a poor person, or, if you prefer, government workers can actually deliver to your house a poor person. From that point on, you will be responsible for their care, feeding, hygiene, behavior, and outcome.
This takes all the cold bureaucratic treatment out of the equation and provides a one-on-one loving contact with your very own poor person, drunk, drug addict, or societal malcontent. It's akin to having a living Chia pet. Water them with your personal care, love, and concern, and watch them grow.
Similar programs could be conducted for illegal aliens. Just like the girl scouts, who ask, “How many boxes of cookies do you want this year?” the government can ask, “How many illegals will you take this year, Mr. Liberal? As you know, we now have 20 million of them, and only you can help us reach our goal of placing every one of them in their very own home!”
We can give this program high sounding name like, “The Human Chia-nome Project,” and each of you can save humanity … one person at a time.
Meanwhile, the rest of us, thanks to your personal involvement, can go to Washington D.C. and state capitals, and get rid of all of those failed social programs, dollar wasting boondoggles, and worthless, feel good government incursions, that are indebting our children to the third and fourth generations.
Isn't it amazing how much we can accomplish when we really sit down and communicate? Just look how angry my response to your intellectual flotsam was at the beginning of this response, and how conciliatory it is now. I really feel like we've connected on a spiritual level ... like we've brought light to your darkness.
I know I speak for all us when I say, “Thank you.”
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you are willing to put your empty-headed utopian dreams into practice. And just in case all of this doesn't go just exactly as planned, we'll just go ahead and build that wall down there on the border, make plans with Mexico to help their economy, so that they can support their own people, and tend to the unseating of the dogs inhabiting the seats of power in D.C., the governor's chairs in all of the states, and the leftist incompetents in counties and towns across America. Maybe we should do what we can to begin once again teaching our history, demanding constitutional government, working and contributing to campaigns that remove the corrupt and vulgar, thereby effectuating their replacement with the honorable and forthright.
In case you haven't figured out what's happening, here's a wrap-up of the program:
Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.--
Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions ,..... including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme
-- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

story got it spot on: "I notice there is no mention of the party
affiliation of the accused. I can find no mention of it in any story on
the internet. This must mean they were all Democrats."
Pocketing 5.5 million dollars from city residents and know one is mentioning party affiliation! Why and where are we when in the middle of elections 8 Democrats are busted and it is not mentioned.
No Mentions Bell California Council and Mayer were all Democrats:
Obama and Eric Holder, are probablt responcible for no mention in the media of party affiliations!!!
