In The Court Of The American People, Both Found Guilty Of Broken Promises And Lack Of Truth While Cavorting In A Fairy Tale Love Fest
Long suspected to be bed fellows, Obama Campaign and Main Stream Media have brought their affair out of the closet. Neither seems ashamed or repentant of their actions and as a result their injured spouses have filed suit to leave the respective relationships.
Public Trust said that Main Stream Media was no longer going to be a part of their family. Trust stated that Media had abused the power of its position and had kept things hidden. Trust also said that Media seemed impotent to do the work required and that fairness and investigative curiosity was no longer a Media quality. Truth said that she would find a partner much more suitable than Media. Truth claimed that Media was really getting long-in-the-tooth and had been acting in a whorish way for some time. Truth stated she was looking for someone with more moral character who understood ethical behavior. She thought she might meet someone on the Internet.
Charges against Obama Campaign included unexplained relationships, questionable sources of funds, double-talk, inability to commit and hidden agendas. Campaign's partner, Audacity Hope said she was leaving this relationship immediately. She felt that to keep Campaign in her life would be very destructive. She said she truly did not know Campaign at all and his actions indicated that she never would. She also indicated that Campaign has kept a mistress named Change on the side. Hope said that although Campaign never intended for Change and Hope to know about each other, they did. When they compared notes, they found that neither was going to be a part of Campaign's future. They were being flaunted like so many of Campaign's previous relationships. When Campaign didn't need them anymore, he planned to cast them aside.
The two guilty parties, Campaign and Media, said they did not really care what their partners thought. They argued that their relationship was a love founded upon deceit and irresponsibility and said that everyone in the nation should be so lucky to experience the joy that could come out of such a dishonest and shallow encounter. They found so much joy in this trashy relationship that they really felt "they should spread the wealth".
The Court of The American People found Campaign and Media disgustingly guilty on all charges and turned them over to their jailers, Marx Socialist and Tabloid Journalism.The People encouraged Hope, Change and Trust to seek honesty above all else in their future relationships.

A Bull In The China Shop - Obama's New Deal For Business.
Since I was 9 years old, I have had the dream of having my own business. For 48 years, I have chased that dream. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. I have been bankrupt with eviction notices for my family and I have made a decent living at other times. I have done it on the East Coast and in the Southwest, and with the help of the Web...all across the nation.
As I look back, it was never about the money. It was about taking an idea and working at it and seeing it grow into something good. I work hard for what I earn and I try to help my employees the best I can. I never want to retire, I want to work until there is no life left in me to go on. Based on my family history and the good Lord willing, I may be able to work another 35 years. I want to keep chasing the American dream, but I start to ask myself why. What will be the purpose?
Obama will kill the American dream for many. I work 70-80 hours per week on the average. I planned to turn my business over to my employees, but I am very concerned that there will not be a business left. I am trying to help my children start their business and hope to show my grandkids how to gain financial independence someday. I am beginning to wonder why? There will certainly be no incentive for me to encourage young people to take a dare and go for broke on a dream that may fail to even have a minimum chance of survival. Guys like me will always be able to earn a living one way or another, younger people will not have an incentive to chase that dream and may not be able to keep the money that is needed to build that dream.
When Obama's plan hits, here is what it will do in layman's terms. My profits will go down, my ability to profit share with my employees goes away and money that could be invested will no longer be available or will fall under a depreciation rate that does not allow me to purchase new equipment. I would have to purchase used equipment. As businesses fail, there will be plenty of that to purchase. That will affect the people trying to make a living selling new tools and trucks to my company. In order to try to keep the company going, we will raise the prices which will cause customers to pay more now than before. This will happen across the board.
Anyone that thinks they are going to gain financially under this scenario, will find that the commodities and goods they purchase will probably rise faster than the "Obama candy" can be distributed. I will stop using American products in my business and pick up product from China. The software programming that is currently done locally will end up going to a back office in India. I will not be able to keep my employees going as my sales will go down as my prices go up. I will end up letting my employees go and I will scale back so that I still make the same amount of money that I do now, but 80% of my employees will be looking for a job. Or, I may decide that it is just not worth it anymore. I would take my money, put it in some tax-free investment, go on Social Security and let my income drop down low enough so that I will get some of this re-distribution of wealth.
What is the incentive for me to work if Obama is going to give me someone else's money. I will have gone from someone affecting the economy positively by $6-7 million dollars per year to someone who is nothing more than a welfare recipient with negative pull on the government money. I won't even have to pay for my health care anymore, since Obama is going to give me that for free also. I won't have to worry about the thousands of dollars of income tax that I have to pay now....what a deal, what a deal! My employees will be looking for work, they will not have insurance and small companies like mine will not be starting-up very often.
When the Perfect Storm of Obama, Reid and Pelosi push their union agenda in and battle the right to work states, the large construction industry will die off and make the housing slump look mild. The unions will attempt to unionize every industry in America. If you want to see how well that has worked out for the nation, look at the airline, automotive and steel industries.Whatever happens with the trade agreements, everything that you think will be made at home again, will not. Just about everything that is electronic is made overseas. Clamping down on trade will not bring the jobs home. No one is going to make the capital investments necessary to build product in America when the climate is so anti-business and the distribution of wealth is in force. The products will still come from overseas, you will just pay more.
You can believe whatever you want to about Obama and what his plan will do to small business and how he claims it will not affect you. I put my 40 years of experience of being a small businessman and working day in and day out with other small businesses up against him and his economists lofty opinions of what his plan will do to me and those around me.....and I really think they don't have a clue.
Small business is not just a mom and pop store. A small business by definition can employ up to 1500 people and can have annual revenues of up to $35 million dollars. This economic plan can have disastrous results.
Income distribution is just another form of welfare. We have been trying for 40 years to stop being a welfare nation.....why does 50% of the country want to go back there....it didn't work the first time.

Should This Election Have Been About The Economy? Or The Islamic Jihad?
It had to be the economy for Obama to be elected, because he strikes out on the real major issue.
The economy will correct itself as soon as Congress gets their act together. Oh wait, we are sending the same guys back again aren't we? Well, maybe by the time the economy really bottoms out....and the people with the money know we're not there yet..we will have replaced the majority of the crooks that we have currently elected. That's why we have more stimulus packages on the way...to buy off the goodwill of voters again. By the way, have you benefited from anything yet? Didn't think so. Either McCain or Obama probably can't straighten the mess out...it will run its course and people will continue to get hurt until it does even out. Congress is not going to fix the retirement money that has been lost and as the stock market seems to indicate, the investors are not really that impressed with Obama and what a Democratic Congress seem to offer in the coming year.
What happened to the issue of the Islam jihad which is really a major player in the economic problems of the US? Have we all missed what the nation of Islam has told the world? Have we missed the details of their program where they have declared that the US will be a Muslim nation by 2050? Have we become so brain-dead and so preoccupied with our comfort, the World Series, the Dallas Cowboys and the personna of Barack Obama...that we are going to let our nation and everything we stand far be taken without a struggle. If we don't pull our heads out, our grandchildren... if they actually survive, will wonder why mom and dad and grandpa and grandma didn't do something about saving our nation.
What am I babbling about? Islam has the plans in play to make their ideology the government of the world. It is not a secret, it is just being ignored. The movement does not plan on stopping nor does it anticipate defeat in any quarter. Under their plan, all nations will worship Allah and will be under Sharia law. They will not tolerate anyone who does not buy into their ideology. If you do not submit, you will be either enslaved or put to death. Liberalism is not tolerated, women are not tolerated, atheists are not tolerated, many races are not tolerated.....but the amazing thing is the governments of the world are tolerating this movement...ours included.
The movement does not negotiate, puts dying for the cause above living and is pledged to the extinction of Western culture and civilization. Obama has said that he will meet with these people within the first days of his administration to establish a better understanding. If he is telling me that he thinks he can negotiate a better understanding with this mentality, then he may very well be the most dangerous man in the world. He is either misinformed or he has been indoctrinated to the point that he does not see the danger that we face. That is why his past associations are so important. That is why we flawed in not holding him accountable. As a Muslim child, he is well aware of the teachings and the ultimate goal of this movement, yet he embraces them. His aides attend conferences of some of the most dangerous Islam organizations in the US, to maintain and grow the relationship with them.
The Islamic plan calls for terror as well as a peaceful internal movement to destroy the United States. There is no moderate Muslim as far as the nation of Islam is concerned. Any moderate Muslim will be put in the same category as the infidel and will be exterminated.The plans call for the Muslims in this country to slowly infiltrate the Muslim way of life into the fiber of the nation. Outrages over security profiling, foot baths in airports, demanding Muslim holidays instead of Christian or American holidays in the workplace are examples. US Congressmen being sworn in with the Koran instead of the Bible and prisoners being given special Muslim diets in prison are further examples. Prisons are becoming the greatest Muslim recruiting grounds in America because murderers, child molesters, rapists and wife abusers being told that under Muslim law they were justified for what they did. School children all across the country, from kindergarten to college, are being taught that Islam is a kind religion and being instructed in the ways and memorizing Koran verses under cultural studies. Muslim schools all across America are teaching the destruction of the US..sometimes even subsidized by the government. Radical Islamic groups are under contract to teach sensitivity training to our military and law enforcement agencies on how to handle the Muslim population.
Obama wants to negotiate with Iran about nuclear weapons. The latest commission report on the Iran situation pretty much said there is not a solution. For almost 40 years there was the Cold War with Russia. US and Russia both had the nuclear power to destroy mankind, but did not because behind the ideologies of democracy and communism, life had value. The Islamic ideology brought a game changer. Life has no value....death achieved by killing Americans or anyone that is not Muslim will give you the greatest achievement possible. In the eyes of the Islamic movement, the nuclear weapon killing thousands or millions of Americans or Jews is possibly the greatest achievement one may obtain in this life.Islamic activities are real and they are now. In the US today there are dozens of compounds where men are being trained as terrorists, yet we do nothing.
The Islamic plan is falling into place. We are spending ourselves poor by being politically correct in dealing with a problem that will not go away. Cost of security, cost of war, kowtowing to Islamic interest groups as well as banks and companies being bought by Islamic interests is driving down our economic strength. Foreign oil purchases finance the movement.
The Islamic jihad must be stopped.
When you go to the polls, mull over the idea that the economy may not be the most pressing problem. Think that the Islamic movement desires to see the weakest president that we can put forth. Realize that they want you to think that America is the problem and we have to change...like Rev. Wright preached. Remember that the terror that is coming is going to rise up out of our homeland.....like Bill Ayers advocated. If you really believe that past associations are not important......the Islamic nation will certainly thank you for the vote. Your grandchildren will hold you in contempt.

Last Week I Was A Racist - Today I Am An Elite Bigot Repulican
Last week, I was categorized by Congressman John Lewis as a "Racist". Must be, because I have attacked Barack Obama in much the same way as John McCain. How? I question his past associations. I really want to know why he thinks his record indicates that I should think he is qualified to be President. I totally hate his politics that border on socialism. But I stop here, lest I really start to list things that make me wonder about Obama's candidacy.
Now because of my views, I have been promoted to "Elite Bigot Republican". This has been totally confusing. I do not know which title has the greatest rank in the mind of an Obama Democrat. When all else fails, I turn to my wife for her advice. She turns off the news when politics come on and is suspect of all political candidates. I figured I would try the titles on her and go with the one that sounded most impressive. When asked, she gave me her disgusted look and said..."You're a Democrat. Now get a life!"
Stunned, I walked back to my computer and thought for a bit. My conclusion - none of the titles will be used this year. Lewis is so full of himself and trying to shove a candidate down the throat of the nation that his rantings are of no consequence. For his comments, he should receive the National Out To Lunch Award based upon his lack of thought process. As my wife so pointed out...a Democrat obviously can't be a Republican so the "Elite Bigot Republican" thing has to be dropped also. That leaves me just plain Democrat, so based on how I feel this year....I think I will voluntarily shelve that title also.
But I can't face the world tomorrow without some sort of title. So I pulled an old one off the shelf. One that I really am proud off. Just call me "American Voter".

An American Congress - Now That Would Be Change.
Let's put aside presidential politics for a moment. If you really want to see change, then we need a major dump of the members of Congress. Talk about a good concept gone bad. What about a Congress that recognized that good change is needed, short term sacrifices will be required and the nation needs to be addressed as a whole as opposed to each member applying the pork to his home area to obtain the most votes?
What about a Congress that leaves partisanship at the door and tends to the problems of the nation with the nation's best interest at heart? What about a Congress that would ban all PAC and lobbyist activity for a period of at least 8 years, until the citizens' needs are addressed? What about a moratorium on political contributions that would limit contributions to individuals only? What about a limit on campaign spending for all candidates at all levels? What about a Congress that would consider term limits for the good of the nation?
Impossible, you say? Nothing is impossible. It only takes putting one person in Congress that will be an example to the American people of what could be. It could only take one person, that may already there, to start the ball rolling. If it ever started, the people in this country who want change for their good and the good of the nation would never let that ball stop.
A dream of a fool? Maybe. But this is America, and until somebody hangs out the "Closed" sign for good.....I still consider the United States of America the land of opportunity and the best hope for the future of our world.

Calling Me A Racist Really Ticks Me Off.
The Democrats talk about the negativity of Republicans. Now that is a real hoot. One of the most explosive issues in this country is still racism, but it seems to be the "ace card" to pull Obama out of the line of fire for the things he refuses to answer or needs to dodge.
To make matters worse, some so-called leaders of the party, just go off half-cocked and really make a horse's butt out of themselves. Then Obama distances himself from the comments but doesn't have the guts to publicly jump down the guy's throat for making such a statement while pretending to be a public servant. Let's get real, if Obama doesn't have the strength to call down one man after making inappropriate inflammatory remarks......what can he possibly do to clean out a Congress that is ineffectual and unethical? Does he have the strength to investigate this sordid financial mess and hold any of the members of Congress accountable? Does he have the nerve to pursue and prosecute members of his own party that will undoubtedly be found to have done things not in the best interests of our country? No, I don't think so. If he couldn't verbally chastise a national figure like Lewis for those inflammatory remarks, don't expect him to do much to make anybody answer for our financial mess. The Democrats, who are screaming the loudest about the economy, will be enlightened when their new leader takes office and nothing happens to the thieves on the Hill.
Now I am about to become racist by Democratic standards. I want to know why Obama is qualified to lead my nation when he has the weakest accomplishments of any candidate in history? I want to know if the close acquaintance he had with Ayers, Rezko and Wright was because he tolerated their views, didn't understand their position on the laws and values of the United States of America, or was it because these were the types of people that his Chicago political machine told him he needed to use to rise to the top while he was building a puffy resume to become the next leader of the free world? It appears that no matter what the answer, he loses...thus don't answer. His answers might indicate that he lacks judgment, is very naive or is willing to stop at nothing to gain power. All bad qualities in someone that will control the keys to the free world. I really don't care what the color of skin.
I want to know why he voted present some many times and did not take a stand? I want to know why he never steps out of the party line on Senate votes? Can anyone honestly say that the laws put forth are so great that nothing should ever be voted against? I want to know if he is capable of making a decision? We may find the answers to these things after it is too late. That is a pity and one that the Democratic leadership and voters may rue the day that they failed to get answers to these questions.
If asking these questions makes me a racist, then critical thinkers and people who just want answers will redefine the word racist. I guess, however, if the Democratic party doesn't label us racists, then they would probably have to call themselves stupid. What a world, eh?

It appears that no matter what the answer, he loses...thus don't answer. His answers might indicate that he lacks judgment, is very naive or is willing to stop at nothing to gain power. All bad qualities in someone that will control the keys to the free world. I really don't care what the color of skin.
I want to know why he voted present some many times and did not take a stand? I want to know why he never steps out of the party line on Senate votes? Can anyone honestly say that the laws put forth are so great that nothing should ever be voted against? I want to know if he is capable of making a decision? We may find the answers to these things after it is too late. That is a pity and one that the Democratic leadership and voters may rue the day that they failed to get answers to these questions.
If asking these questions makes me a racist, then critical thinkers and people who just want answers will redefine the word racist. I guess, however, if the Democratic party doesn't label us racists, then they would probably have to call themselves stupid. What a world, eh?
Voters Mourn The Death Of Critical Thinking
How The Dumbing Of America Has Affected The Political Arena
When did America lose its ability to think? It wasn't with my parent's generation. Born in early 1900's, living through the Great Depression, two World Wars and everything else that happened between then and now, they never took anything at face value in the political arena. At 98 years of age, my mother still doesn't.
But my generation begin the politics of "non think" and this election it is in the zenith of its danger. Politics is not the only area that our "unthinking" is prevalent...just look at our economic situation as well as the moral and ethical practices of our nation.
People don't think. The vast majority of our decisions are made upon first impulse reactions, wrong or incomplete data, prejudices, ignorance or just plain stupidity. We have become so bad in this area that colleges...are being told that critical thinking must be incorporated into the curriculum as we are turning out graduates that have no concept of the process. When we can't think critically, we will just go along with the rhetoric that sounds the best....because we can't determine what is truth or not.
What a dangerous way to elect the leaders of a nation. Whose interests are being served when we accept the media and spin at face value? I can assure you it is not the average voter. The average voter under this scenario is going to be hammered. Don't think so? If you are the average voter, you probably didn't think at all.
