Warning! First Blog!-Since this is my first blog on Tea Party, or anywhere else for that matter, I'll make this blog as pleasant as I can and build up to the crescendo as time goes by.

The psychology that unfolds on every playground is the fruit of people watchers. Although I'm not the best people watcher, I like to think I do alright and the harder lessons that I've learned are not to be shared with strangers. The hardest lessons that I've learned are unpleasant and are mostly intended for prisons. Since retirement, I try not to use or think of those hardest lessons.

The general lessons are there for the taking and one I give freely-what you see on a playground has been developing over several years of operation. For instance, an older ball player plays well partially because he is familiar with the field. A visiting ballplayer must be confident in his game to overlook the unfamiliar field. Certainly all the variables are not possible to know or list, suffice to say that thousands of emotions swirl around a playground.

When you are on a playground, the ownership of the property was never doubted until Barry came to town. Forever, playgrounds have belonged to We the People. They still do and always will. It's just that  certain individuals are unable to conceive the American Model and lust for money and ego. These occasional nuisances have become significant due to lack of vigilance in Congress.

In America, fair play is for all and bullies are chased out. Confident and empathizing children rally to the aid of their friends and under normal situations, bullies are recognized and treated accordingly. Not a perfect system, just the best one in the World. 

It isn't the bully's physicality that makes him scary. It's the perception of harm by the other kids that give the bully his command. Scared children seek bullies! Some seek bullies for protection and most run for safety after they've seen the bully.

For the sake of an analogy,  government is a playground-not in a simple form by any means but rather  in the complex macro-societal confusion that it is. More than one ballgame, a few matches of tennis, and maybe a scrimmage on the basketball court is all that it takes to appease the elderly spectators and allow them to reminisce about their youthful days. Driving past a playground doesn't allow enough time to capture all the dynamics of any playground.

Using this analog, I ask that you imagine Barry entering the playground-what happens next? Nothing. He is not a "bully" in the traditional sense of the word and the police have no reason to suspect his affable nature of any vandalism or damage to the playground. Barry's personality allows him to endear himself to others and draw up alliances.

Without keen people watching skills, no one could have identified the friends of Barry that preceded him to the playground and had been waiting for his arrival.

In a well-planned execution of some nefarious plot, the kids and parents succumb to not Barry's plan, but the rather the plans of Barry's friends. Barry is only the patsy for the shills. In a very short while, the majority of the playground is in love with what they think Barry can do for them despite knowing that Barry has no skills, no history of accomplishment, and certainly no interest in the playground outside personal gain. My story-stick with me!

There will never be a shortage of selfish people in this World and selfish people recognize other selfish people instantly. Once the core group suckers a small group, the small group is made to look bigger and important. As a group, the bullying and manipulation is much easier but deceit is still the main thrust. If one member of the group gets found out, they are cast off and business continues.

Rather than spin this beyond use, Barry is known and the establishment of the Tea Party is figuratively the concerned parents that want to keep the playground nice-this is reprehensible to anyone that has been trained to hate the Tea Party but it will work for my purpose. The only problem now is concerned parents have no shills and cannot organize as splendidly as Barry says he is. Since Barry owns the enforcer, who doesn't need to be identified until after an event happens (already done), concerned parents have the opportunity to say, "I know but there's nothing I can do!". How many tines have you heard that?

Republicans linger in the bleachers. The Whigs and Tories have gone home. Other groups just can't seem to get an invitation and they watch from behind the fence. Therefore, Barry and his boys must infiltrate, deface, and discredit the Tea Party boys. The Sharks meet the Jets, no difference.

The few tussles and taunts done to preserve the playground were late, pathetic, and insulting to concerned parents. The bullies control the playground, set rules, and grant wishes. Ballgames have cheerleaders that shout "Yes We Can!' whether they win or not. It can be a wonderful, working playground if it weren't for the admissions booth at the entrance and the Board of Directors.

The Tea Party could regain the playground and here's how:

Focus on an issue and declare it solved and won whether it is or not. Misinformation goes both ways.

Sue for damages done and hold criminals to bear for crimes committed, no more of this revolving door drama-they did or they didn't.

Since the dawn of time, killing, starving, poisoning, and torturing people has been done for monetary and political gain. The Tea Party could accept this or any other issue to champion rather than defend the Constitution or similar diversion from true progress as a Nation. If we lose the Constitution but save lives, we can draft a new Constitution that does not mitigate criminal actions of the government-need an example?

Never before, have we had an opportunity as grand as this one to solve problems, rather than start wars. The Repubs and Dems can't do it -too much like work-so it will have to be the Tea Party.

The playground will exist and be available for a fee. Neither Democrats or Republicans have an issue with that or any other item of business. Life is good and everyone is making millions, so what's the problem? The Federal Government of the USA is on its ass!

Senator Ted Cruz has written a bill that would restore citizens and groups 1st Amendment rights. Unsurprisingly the main stream media have not reported this challenge to their communication monopoly.

Call your Senators and demand they co-sponsor and vote for Ted Cruz’ “Free All Speech Act of 2014”:

S.2416 - Free All Speech Act of 2014

https://beta.congress.gov/113/bills/s2416/BILLS-113s2416is.xml

113th CONGRESS
2d Session

S. 2416

To apply laws that restrict the political speech of American citizens to media corporations.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

June 3, 2014

Mr.  Cruz introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation

A BILL

To apply laws that restrict the political speech of American citizens to media corporations.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Free All Speech Act of 2014”.

SEC. 2.  Application of laws that restrict the political speech of American citizens to media corporations.

(a) In general.—Any law that restricts the political speech of American citizens shall apply with equal force to media corporations, such as the New York Times, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and the CBS Television Network.

(b) No application to American citizens if application to media corporations found unconstitutional.—To the extent that the application of a law to a media corporation under subsection (a) is found unconstitutional, such law shall have no force or effect with respect to American citizens.

The IRS is not the major obstacle to the 1st Amendment in America. Stories of IRS oppression swat at a gnat and swallow the proverbial camel.

Hint: Lois Lerner previously worked at the Federal Election Commission an entity dedicated to abridging citizens and groups rights to participate in American politics.

After Watergate, campaign laws were passed:

• But media corporations were exempted creating a State approved press. Is it any wonder news media are among the biggest promoters of campaign law?
• Regulations limited citizen’s donations to politicians. This made it unlikely challengers, who would benefit more from large sums from a few, can defeat incumbents.
• Lawyers have gotten rich defending clients against infractions of myriad, incomprehensible and unconstitutional laws.
• Many non-profits are more concerned with raising donations to defend their tax exemption than restoring 1st Amendment rights to the electorate.

However, freedoms of speech, press and assembly are inalienable rights not privileges. The 1st Amendment does not say unless you assemble as for-profit, non-profit, church, political party, media Corporation or unincorporated group. The 1st Amendment does not limit how much you can spend as an individual or like minded group or require reporting donations and expenditures to the Federal government. The 1st Amendment does not say candidates give up the right to associate with or coordinate with like minded citizens or groups.

A free press is the right to use a printing press without a license from government.

Other than who pays for it, there is no difference between an editorial, slanted news story and a political ad? The poor can make their voices heard by assembling and combining their donations to buy space in newspapers and time on broadcast networks.

 Article Co-Written by Craig Andresen and Diane Sori

As more testimony is given in the IRS scandal it’s becoming obvious that the missing e-mails could very well be the key to collapsing the entire Obama administration, but it first must be understood that the IRS e-mails were NOT being secured because the IRS did NOT want them to be secured…period.

Now ain’t that a kick as ‘We the People’ are told to store our records for a minimum of seven years yet the very agency telling us to do just that only stores their information for six months…talk about the epitome of hypocrisy.

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE!!!

Make no mistake about it -- Robert MacDonald, the President's choice to head the Veteran's Affairs department -- is a marketing expert.

While the announcement of his appointment plays up the fact than MacDonald graduated from West Point (no small accomplishment) it doesn't exactly give as much attention to the fact that he served only 3 years (1975-1978) in the military before going to the University of Utah to get his MBA.

But an MBA is good, right?  It would be useful to have a businessman trying to fix the problems of the VA.

It would -- if his business experience was relevant.  MacDonald was an executive at Proctor  Gamble.  While it would be useful to have an executive with experience in insurance or health care, MacDonald's core experience is with the business of P&G.

What business is P&G in?  MARKETING.

While P&G is a large corporation with a lot of product lines, these are mostly commodity products.  Many of them are repackaged versions of other products with no formula difference (a product sold as a laundry detergent can be also sold as a floor cleaner).  What allows you do differentiate?  MARKETING.

So it appears what the President believes the problem at the VA is doesn't come to organization or providing services to America's military Veterans.  The problem is one of MARKETING and messages. 

In other words, it's a PR problem.

So don't expect substantive changes at the VA.  Expect better spin.

The passing of Senator Howard Baker (R-TN) brings to mind a time when the US Congress was held in high esteem. Senator Baker valued country above partisan politics. His passing provokes thoughts comparing the Congress of the 1970’s to the Congress of the 2010’s. 

He sought the truth when asking about the president of his party in relation to presidential abuses of power:  "What did the president know and when did he know it?"  

The background on the political courage of Howard Baker and his Republican congressional colleagues in 1973-74 makes one wonder why no Democrat will ask of president Obama:  "What did he know?"

Let’s pray to serve God. 6-29-14          http://anticorruptionact.org/

Father thank you for all your blessing, you have given me more than what I deserved, you provided enough so I be able to help my daughter that is getting a divorce, you know what is in my heart, I know that I come to this world with nothing and that when you call me to be at your side I will not take anything of this world with me; I thank you Lord for your teachings, to be my brother keeper and to learn that money is good to do your work and proclaim your name to all corners of the world, and also that the love of money and material things is a sin. Lord I will always be great full to you my Lord, I know that you are a God of purpose, help me to continue doing what is your will and give me the courage to expose evil and encourage your people to learn about you and spread your word and the glory of your kingdom. Amen.

As Christians, God’s Word must be more precious to us than anything this world has to offer, if we are to make any progress in our walk with Christ; give what you can to your congregation so they can spread the word of God and the truth that is the salvation of mankind.

Deuteronomy 16:10

Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the LORD your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the LORD your God has given you.

A criminal conspiracy is simply defined as an agreement, or step-by-step incremental plan, between two or more people to commit a city, county, state, or federal crime.  The worst world history that has been recorded on this planet has been as a result of criminal conspiracy.  Then, of course, you have to argue with government and political sophists about the definition of criminality.  In a republican form of government, where the People are the electorate constitutionally designed to elect representatives to lawfully legislate and execute just laws, one person, the infamous man or woman, cannot decide in secret closed rooms what is best for the majority of the people, and then create a conspiracy to make that plan of action come to pass.  Yet, there are people who will argue the great man or woman approach to history is superior to that history produced by the rule of law.

I have written about the immaculate research of Dr. Antony Sutton, Doctor of Science( D.Sc.), who has documented a profusion of awful conspiracies, concocted and implemented, since 1913, by the federal government, by American industry, and by organizations created to control government processes (such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission).  These conspiracies have been concocted and planned behind the backs of the People.  A conspiracy, by its very nature, despises open discussion and debate.  Dr. Sutton proved by erudite documentation that American industry conspiratorially financed the 1917 Russian Bolshevik Revolution.  He also established beyond a doubt that the U.S. entry into the European War, in 1917, was conspiratorially rigged by Woodrow Wilson and Col. Edward House after the conspiracy to create a federal income tax and a system of federal finance controlled by private bankers called the Federal Reserve.  Edward House was one of the original formative members of the Council on Foreign Relations, and cajoled Woodrow Wilson into signing Federal Reserve Act into law, based upon a false premise that the Fed would do just the opposite of what it began doing in 1914, putting the money of the United States into a European trust that eventually resulted in the formation of the Trilateral Commission and the IMF and the rest of the eventual conversion of the American dollar into a reserve currency for the other countries of the world, not a sovereign currency exclusively for the People of the United States based upon precious metal, as defined in the U.S. Constitution. 

The entry of the United states into WWI saw the beginning of the imperializing of the United States and the entangling alliances that our first U.S. President, George Washington, had exhorted the government to avoid.  The advent of the Great Depression was historically recorded by financial historians as "accidental" in cause, and that remained in the history books until Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan's economist, documented in a study at the University of Chicago that the Federal Reserve, the Fed, had deliberately, from late 1927 until early 1929, taken one-third of the existing paper currency out of circulation in the United States, which was calculated to result in a run on the banks and savings and loans on Black Friday in 1929.  A lot of people, about 95 percent of the nation, lost their money, on paper, at that time and precious metal was not in high circulation because there was a dearth of paper money which was redeemable in silver and gold.  But a lot of people, about 5 percent of the nation benefitted from the Great Depression, as a great redistribution of wealth occurred.  Farmers lost their land to the banks, corporations foreclosed on many debts that were based on installment purchases.  Unemployment was very high, but there were corporations that were still making high profits off the unemployed.  From 1930 until 1941, there were eighteen major companies in the U.S. that directly assisted in building Hitler's war machine.  No, American was not at war with Germany, but there were secret agreements between Hitler and American corporations and banks about which the federal government knew.  Prescott Bush, George H. Bush's father and Dubya's grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer and supporter.  Isn't it strange that you didn't hear about this true history during the Bush political campaigns? 

Think about John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and FDR and their socialist collusions during the late 1930s, and during the 2nd World War.  The 1947 Marshall Plan was predicated on Keynesian economic strata, as was the Bretton Woods Treaties, which were conspiratorial in nature.  Congress was not involved in a process that determined the future finances of the republic.  Why?  Congress relinquished its right, as the Legislative branch, to coin money and determine its value, a constitutional obligation, Article 1, Section 8, based upon the faith of the Framers in the economic standards of Adam Smith, when they passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.

Then you had the entry of the U.S. into the 2nd World War, which would not have been a world war if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor.  95% of the People of the U.S. wanted to remain neutral, but FDR had secretly promised Winston Churchill (his cousin), in 1939, that he would see to it that the U.S. entered the war against Germany.  So, instead of helping Japan economically before Japan signed the non-aggression pact with Hitler, FDR economically manipulated Japan into attacking the U.S., and he knew about the surprise attack 72 hours before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.  This fact has been clearly proven by historical research  By helping Japan get the raw materials it needed, FDR could have made a great alliance with Japan, in the event that Hitler had sought to attack the U.S.  War is never inevitable when reasonable people seek to avoid it.  But war is profitable to closet fascists, like FDR.  I personally think that Britain and its allies, Canada, Australia, etc. would have defeated Hitler without assistance from the U.S.

Was American entry into the war with Germany based upon several conspiracies?  I believe that you can say that it was.  How about the other federal conspiracies, such as Operation Ajax, the CIA/MI6 conspiracy waged a coup that deposed a democratically elected government in Iran, in 1954, and placed a dictator, the Shah of Iran, on the throne for the sake of Iranian oil for the British.  How about the lies that created the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which allowed a conspiracy to convince Congress about bogus North Vietnamese aggression.  This began the 14 year Vietnam War, which made 5 percent of the wealthiest men in America much wealthier, and socially divided a nation bring with it the rise of immorality and nihilism that created the culture that decimated public education and the work ethic during the 1970s and 80s.  The only things that were boosted during the Vietnam era were weaponry, the concept of nuclear mutually assured destruction, and the profound despair of ungodliness.

During this time you had the federal Watergate conspiracy that led to the Iran-Contra conspiracy, which led to the conspiracy to attack Saddam Hussain and Iraq in 1991.  This conspiracy was based on bogus NSA satellite photos that Dick Cheney and George H. (New World Order) Bush said proved that Saddam Hussain was a threat to Saudi Arabia.  But they were proven false by respected journalist Jean Heller.  Plug-in the name Jean Heller, and bogus satellite photos into Google.com and you will get the true sordid facts.

Then came 9/11, and what I believe was the most pernicious conspiracy in the history of federal conspiracies, which caused the murders of over 3,000 American citizens and foreign nationals.  As I have said many times before, those WTC Towers and Building 7 were not brought down in total symmetrical collapse, at free-fall speed, by those jet aircraft and two controlled fires in Building 7.  They were brought down by controlled demolition, regardless of how the federal government has persuaded the main-stream media to ridicule the truth.  Science facts speak much more loudly than the science fiction promulgated by the "Report of the 9/11 Commission," NIST, and the, supposedly, scientific publications, such as "Popular Mechanics," paid by the federal government to disseminate its science fiction.  The federal government has opportunity and motive to conspire to destroy the WTC Towers, bomb the Pentagon, and blame it on Islamic jihad terrorism. 

Every day criminal conspirators plan convoluted crimes against banks, convenience stores, jewelry stores, and homes.  Successful burglaries are usually planned well in advance by skilled gangsters and criminals.  Theses are conspiracies, and the federal government is very large that "no one" can keep track of what those covert federal agencies are doing.  The IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI are all probably planning conspiracies at this very moment to the detriment of the American people, and we know that Eric Holder won't do a damn thing about those conspiracies. 

As a former San Diego County, California Deputy Sheriff, I know that conspiracies, especially federal conspiracies, exist and are regularly planned.  I was explicitly told in 1985, by a senior U.S. Border Patrol agent, that a federal conspiracy was planned and perpetrated by high-level political appointees in Washington, in collusion with certain U.S. Senators and Representatives to allow certain illegal aliens to make it successfully over the U.S. border, and for them to remain in the United States untouched by federal law.  He told me that he was getting tired of not properly enforcing the standing immigration laws.

So, do federal conspiracies exist and have the rotten conspirators gotten away with their evil crimes?  The incontrovertible answer to this is YES; and if the People, who want constitutional government restored in the republic, don't do something collectively very soon, this republic is going to cease to exist.  God save the American Republic!

While I fully support our US Constitution including the First Amendment, God-loving Americans who fully support our US Constitution that is based on Christian values and freedoms needs a very ‘solid case’ in the Federal Judiciary that will open the facts that many in our ‘main-stream’ Medias are hiding behind the First Amendment; rather than reporting these TRUTHS.  

Most ‘main-stream’ Medias are not providing Americans and the world the ‘TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH’ on the issues of the day.  Therefore, these left-wing reporters and their organizations are not or should not be protected under (y)our First Amendment ‘rights’. 

‘Main-stream’ Medias’ Reporters and their anti-Constitutional organizations should not be protected under their untruthful reporting of the issues.

Most of these ‘main-stream’ Medias are fabricating their own ‘radical’ views when in fact these individuals and organizations know the differences.

Let’s pray to serve others. 6-28-14          http://anticorruptionact.org/

Dear Jesus, you are our savior and brother,

You teach us that to serve others is to act in your name.

Send your Spirit to guide us; Give us your wisdom and strength

As we reach out to those who need your care.

Fill us with compassion, and give us your peace.

So that we may be faithful witnesses of your love.

AMEN

For my adult years, I have considered myself an informed person. I have never claimed perfection nor do I believe I am the smartest person around. Indeed there are those who are far more intelligent than I am.

 I own and have built websites. I know how to work several systems on my computer. I am not a computer whiz but I’m better than some and worse than others. I have had a computer crash on me and knew all was not lost because my hard-drive was still intact.

 No one really likes the IRS but we have tolerated them as a part of our lives. If Lois Lerner sent out an email, someone received that email. Then, there could be more than one recipient on that email. So, there could be copies of that email in several computers. One email getting lost can cause concern but thousands of emails being ‘lost’ is be un-heard of. A big organization, such as the IRS, would have back-up systems. I have a back-up system. It’s not unusual to have one and not difficult to install. Lois Lerner deleted emails, then recycled her hard-drive? Who does that unless they are hiding something?

Were the emails that were deleted so damaging to someone in a high capacity of government? Is someone hiding some very important information that can be damming to someone?

How does the government and its associates believe that they can just tell the people and investigative committees that they deleted emails? Are there still people out there without basic knowledge of this? Okay, maybe a few who do not understand that an organization as big as the Internal Revenue Service cannot just delete emails without a back-up system or hard-drive to retrieve them. Did the IRS send emails to themselves? NO, they sent them to someone or multiple recipients. One does not usually send oneself an email. The emails that were claimed to have been deleted went somewhere. Did the IRS and the recipients all conspire to have the emails deleted and then purposely destroy all the hard-drives? I don’t know. This government and the services that work for them, such as the IRS, must be highly corrupt. They knew they were doing something wrong by targeting certain conservative groups and they downright destroyed evidence that could get them in trouble.

In this country, destroying potential damaging evidence is an illegal act. No one is being punished but I suppose someone will get thrown under the bus and then probably receive a bonus of sorts while they fade into oblivion.

For this country to have fallen into such depraved government who allow lawlessness to exist while the people of this nation are prosecuted in a court of law, if they are part of a crime, disgusts me.

It’s been another tough week for liberal idiots…

They’ve been proven wrong on Iraq…wrong on the criticism of Bush…wrong on their denial of Obama’s scandals and yesterday…

The Supreme Court voted NINE to NOTHING that Obama completely blew the Constitutional Separation of Powers clause. NINE TO NOTHING and now BOEHNER is SUING the Dictator for ABUSES of POWER!!!

While rational people, at the bottom of a deep hole would quit digging…LIBERALS ARE ASKING FOR MORE SHOVELS and who are we to deny their request?

Well, lookie here, it’s Friday and…

I’m fuming.

Back in 1960, the city of Detroit had THE highest per capita income in the NATION and then…liberals took it over.

Today…Detroit is a third world city and like third world COUNTRIES…their people have gone to the UNITED NATIONS of thugs, thieves and despots seeking powder blue helmet relief from their day to day struggles.

A gaggle of liberals from a COALITION of…wait for it…WELFARE RIGHTS GROUPS…are all upset because the water has been shut off to 4700 Detroit water customers because…THEY HAVE FAILED TO PAY THEIR WATER BILLS…and those who demand that others take care of them…VIA WELFARE…went to the U.N. to get their water turned back on.

Here’s the REAL story…about HALF of the 324,000 Detroit water customers are at least 2 months over due on their water bills and of THOSE…46,000 were sent shut off notices and of THOSE…only 10% were ACTUALLY shut off and here’s where it gets interesting…Of the 4500 that were shut off…HALF OF THEM CAME IN AND PAID IN FULL WITHIN 2 DAYS!!!

That means that a damn good number of those who simply felt they didn’t need to pay their water bill…COULD HAVE buy why spend your OWN money when you can live off of someone ELSE’S dime???

Naturally…

READ THIS WEEK'S FULL FUME HERE!!!

Let’s pray for our freedom. 6-27-14          http://anticorruptionact.org/

Lord, we thank you for all your blessings and for giving us America the land of the free.  

My Lord, You alone created this world and all that is good in it.  You allowed us our freedom, and entrusted us with the great responsibility of being the steward of your creation and our brother keeper.

All of what we are, all of our concerns, and the unique ability we each have to make the things that help those around us come from you. We ask that you bless us as we strive to transform the earth through love, your word, and deeds.  

Send the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts and lives, guide us to show our love, serve others and grant us a spirit of purpose and joy.

We pray for grateful hearts in Jesus’ name. AMEN

Decades of socialist/progressive indoctrination in our schools, media and culture, plus six years of Obama, has yielded a devastating unspoken consequence. It is the loss of who we use to be as Americans.

In his 1961 Inaugural Address, President John F. Kennedy said, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Democrats have perverted Kennedy's inspiring challenge. Their dispiriting goal is to have as many Americans as possible controlled by and dependent on government, even for life itself, which is at the root of Obamacare.

I mourn the loss of the independent self-reliant mindset which made our parents great; and the pride and dignity it generated within them. Welfare (government assistance) was a last resort and for the truly needy.

Today, far too many Americans see no shame in living on government assistance or scamming the system. The Left's campaign led by the Obama Administration to instill an entitlement mindset in many has proven successful. The Administration even campaigned targeting minorities, discouraging their instinct to be self-reliant. Even worse, the Administration portrays getting on welfare as the honorable thing to do. Dear Lord, what kind of nation are we becoming?

An unprecedented 47 million Americans are on food stamps which is riddled with fraud. The Obama Administration has added over 10,000 new oppressive job-killing regulations. Consequently, 90 million are unemployed and on unemployment which is also riddled with fraud. Here's another first for America, over 11 million are receiving disability benefits; riddled with fraud.  Clearly, many believe working is for suckers when the government is handing out freebies.

In his War on Achievers, Obama used his bully pulpit to deflate business owners by saying, “If you've got a business, you didn't build that.”  Obama and his operatives use compassionate sounding terms such as “social justice” and “income inequality” to justify the government confiscating the earnings of achievers and redistributing it to non-achievers to win their votes. Despicable.

My heart aches for my America when character, excellence and hard work were rewarded, celebrated and respected.

At 9 or 10 years old, I worked part-time for my neighbor Mr Buddy Roy. I pulled the copper out of old motors for him to sell. I still remember the pride I felt making my own money.

In the early 1950s, blacks were allowed to take the entrance test for the Baltimore City Fire Dept. My dad applied and mom helped. My parents sought opportunity not handouts. Talk about a strong black woman, though compassionate and loving, mom could be a tough no nonsense person.

I remember my parents sitting at the kitchen table, a glass turned upside down between them with mom tapping on the glass with a spoon. She was simulating the different bell sounds which alerted the firefighters to various situations. She would yell at my dad, “No, that's wrong, stupid! Listen and get it right!” Thanks to my drill sergeant mom, dad was among a hand full of blacks who became Baltimore City's first black firefighters.

Being a pioneer is never easy. Dad endured humiliating work conditions and blatant racism. Still, dad relished the opportunity. Thanks to his Christian faith, dad won admiration and respect by fighting racism and hate with excellence. He won “Firefighter of the Year” two times.

That mindset of putting ones best foot forward and striving for loftier standards is what I fear we are rapidly losing as Americans. Apparently, character is no longer expected in our leaders. President Obama is caught repeatedly lying to the American people and the response is ho-hum, let's move on.

The trend is to celebrate deadbeats, entitlement junkies, haters of achievers and assorted low life. For example. The Democrats and mainstream media loved the Occupy Wall Street mobs. People were assaulted and even raped at their angry mob gatherings. Severely infected with an entitlement mindset, Occupiers dumped feces in a public building demanding the government redistribute wealth to them. 

Meanwhile, the Left continues their shameful relentless demonizing and slandering the Tea Party with unfounded allegations of racism. The Obama Administration has plotted to criminalize free speech (the Tea Party). Folks, we are talking decent hard-working Americans who are simply pushing back against Obama's shock and awe assault on our freedoms, liberty and culture.

Tax cheat Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel compared the Tea Party to Hamas terrorists. Either Mr Rangel is a loudmouth clueless idiot or a despicable evil human being. Leftists like Rangel who throw unfounded irresponsible“hate” grenades at millions of Americans should be called on it. Inciting racial division is extremely serious.

Amidst the unbelievably long list of scandals, crimes and misdemeanors of the Obama regime, the damage that this evil man and his minions have done to the internal make-up of many Americans is extremely disturbing and heartbreaking.

Please view me performing my song, “We Are Americans” which I wrote to remind us of who we use to be and I believe a majority still are as Americans. I have faith that the liberal's, socialist's and progressive's toxic disease of entitlement thinking has not reached critical mass.

My fellow Americans, we are exceptional, a chosen people. We are Americans!

Just by reading a newspaper or watching news on television, it is easily my observation that there is no longer our right to have ‘Freedom of the Press’. The ‘Operation American Spring’ (OAS) in D.C. sure proved that. There were people there for weeks and not one news network picked up the story. All the information that I received was from the ‘Mark Connors Show’.

Joe Esposito, a fellow writer and poet, had his ‘Facebook Timeline’ taken down. His profile was disabled due to ‘Violations of Standards’. What did Joe violate? He posted political poems which he mentioned names of people currently serving under the present government. Was that a violation? Under the First Amendment we are allowed to vocalize and write anything we choose. Have we lost that right?

Situations that I encounter make me think. I wonder how long it will take before more rights as Americans will be taken from us. The government is trying to take control of our lives. They have disarmed many Veterans just because of having PTSD. They want to take away guns from non-violent Americans but that is another story for another day.
