What Political Party am I?
I am really confused, I feel lost within my own Country. I need someone to help me out here, What Political Party am I?
Let me bring you up to speed here a little. I was born & raised a Democrat, everyone I can ever remember in our family and our friends seemed to always give me the impression that being a Democrat with pretty much moderate ideas was the way to go. Anyway over my younger adult life I donated to the DNC and to any local politician that I felt I wanted in office. I thought or I seemed to think I was right with my beliefs but then came the years of Jimmy Carter & Clan. I think I started drifting a little about then. Then Bill & Hillary came North from Arkansas... I really think after all the land grabbing, getting in bed with China and Bill's numerous outlandish escapades and of course Hillary and her save the world attitude --- I Ran, I ran fast to the Republican side and you know I felt pretty much at peace with myself. I think I have always been far more to the Right than I really knew.
Bush #1, I really admire that man, I enjoy listening to him and his wife Barbara. GHW's years in the White House I thought were pretty good. I really had only one problem and that was with our open border to the South but I decided their was more to it than I probably realized.
Bush #2, This is where most of you are going to jump all over me. I like G.W. and Laura,, I enjoyed his speeches - sure they weren't uptownish like O'slick Willy but you know he was sincere in his ideas and beliefs. My big, no make that huge problem was the border to the South and it just keeps eating at me because of the times we are living in, How can any President not close that border, put a stop to all the Illegal Immigration? I do not Understand! I think that one huge issue pulled me away from GW.
Obama, - - - - ---- This Person Scares the Hell out of Me! If I had my way, BHO would be facing charges of Treason against the People of the USA, plotting to over throw the Government of the USA, Being an Illegal Alien and lying about it to assume the office of President of the USA. This List could go on and on...
HELP ME! You have figured out I claim to be a Republican that leans Right quite a ways, okay I am going to list what I want, maybe you can tell me which Political Party is most apt to give it to me:
I want my Party to close borders and at all cost.
I want my Government to take the Illegal Alien Situation serious and remove all of them. No Amnesty, REMOVE, Let them come back Legally.
I want to shrink gov, We don't need the Federal Government involved with our lives in every aspect.
I want my Government to support the Constitution not look for ways around it.
I want my Government to support our military and not cut moral and funds to such dangerous levels.
I want my Government to fight terror all over the world before it can hurt us again at home like 9-11.. There is no place on the planet for terrorism..
I want my Government to support the Christian way of life the founding fathers meant for us.. I want God in our Schools and everyday life.
I hate Green, nobody has proven anything factual on this Al Gore crap..
Racists?? The only Racists I see are the ones screaming racism.
I certainly don't buy this Politically Correctness Crap. If we can't make fun with each other and keep some humor in our everyday life, then we are heading right back here.
Okay, What Political Party am I looking for? Who is going to be more likely to provide me the Government I am looking for?
I have talked with several people that feel the way I do and they don't have any answers either..
What Party am I? What Political Group is going to fill this void?

Couldn't say it any better!
This is just to good to not share with everyone:
Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer as she
admonished a brigadier general because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not
"Senator" before a Senate hearing. This letter is from a National Guard
aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines. I wonder what he would have said if
he were really angry. Long fly Alaska !
Dear Senator Boxer:
You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using
the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am"
is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position.
The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or
position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations,
the U.S. Senate, equalled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors,
drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and
other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do
anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of
the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be
continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by
releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?
Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your
abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general
shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the
military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check,
offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably
ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's
taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.
Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and
arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior
shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit
for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated
masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.
What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions
of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time
to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to
buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians
are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the
most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton
(1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power
corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power"
has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist
Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me
by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were
offended by "ma'am"?
Have a fine day. Cheers!

Are You Aware??
The Audacity of Unawareness
Barack Obama , through his spokesman, claimed that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the main stream media has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?
This much.
- He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America .
- He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.
- He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.
- He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.
- He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya .
- He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.
For the love of God, there are people in comas that are more aware of world affairs than this guy.

Listen,,, Because We Are Coming!!!
GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona.
She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life.
Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.
Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.
The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now.
You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:
One: illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels.Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S. I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.
Two: the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president.. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.
Four: cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.
Five: universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!
Six: growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there?
Seven: ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight: redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why—what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine: charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten: corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven: transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try—please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve: unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject.
Stop making everything an emergency.
Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired.
I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened?
You are very far off course.
Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance.
Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children? We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot.
There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending. From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane.
I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans?
We want it to stop.. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington.
Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words.
Stop treating us like we're morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming.
We will be heard and we will be represented.
You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come.
Unlike you, we have their trust.
We will represent them honestly, rest assured…They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.
We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will.
There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.
Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us.
Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back… We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest.
As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.
Did you hear?
We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.
If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are.
If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.
We are coming. Are we coming for you?
Who do you represent?
What do you represent?
Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words.
Stop treating us like we're morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming.
We will be heard and we will be represented.
You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come.
Unlike you, we have their trust.
We will represent them honestly, rest assured…They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.
We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will.
There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.
Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us.
Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back… We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest.
As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.
Did you hear?
We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.
If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are.
If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.
We are coming. Are we coming for you?
Who do you represent?
What do you represent?
Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

AARP jumping in bed with Obamas HealthPlan
I am so damn mad I can't even think straight.. I heard yesterday on the news where the AARP was putting all their support into Obamas HealthPlan; Lock, Stock and Barrel.. Today my AARP NewsLetter arrived and confirmed what I had heard.
I am going to Copy & Paste my letter to them and their reply to me here in my blog for anyone to read.
After reading their reply, what I got out of it is they are going to do whatever they want, if I don't like it I can cancel my subscription so I don't have to read about it. Another example of organizations that started out with good intentions but have gotten to big and corrupt within themselves.
MY LETTER TO AARP: 7/30/09
I myself being a Senior Citizen find that I am totally fed up with AARP and their personal views on politics and then using that idea as if it comes from the membership.
I cancelled my membership a few years ago for that exact reason, then it was about Gun Control... Recently I was starting to get weak in the head and thinking about joining again but Thank God you pulled this latest shenanigan and I won't have to go thru it again.
When I heard yesterday that the AARP had put their weight into Obamas healthplan I kind of thought I heard it wrong but thanks for setting it straight. I am from a rural town in MT. and have talked with a lot of people, Seniors and the younger crowd and I fail to find ONE person in support of this healthplan...
You people are all on the verge of throwing this Great Country into medieval times once again. I just want you to know that I will be active in getting as many Seniors to turn against you as I can.Your personal politics & gains have no business in a organization supposedly setup for improving our life style.

WHAT R WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??
Our Country was founded around God & the teachings of Jesus, We have always been taught that a marriage took place between 1 man & 1 woman.. Not 2 women, 2 men or 1 human & 1 animal, We give life not take it, the only exceptions would be in a time of war or the death penalty for major heinous crimes against humanity.
Our Country has a Constitution and The Declaration of Independence, it is cast in stone. None of it is to be altered whenever a new President chooses or some wacked out Special Interest groups want to...
Why the Hell are we voting for and getting these far left radicals appointed to important or high security positions??
People, Wake Up!!
Radical special interest groups, Political Correctness, Open Borders, Multiple Language, Giving God the Heave Ho, Government take-overs, Debt that can never be paid, all of this just for starters!
PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!!!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??? 2010, 2012 JUST MIGHT BE TO LATE

Mad!.......Mad!..............Mad as Hell!!!!
What gives? What does the Majority want for our Country? What Direction do You want to see us go?
Does the Majority want to live in a Socialistic Governed Country? God I don't, I don't want my kids, their kids and all future generations have to live with the mess we are making out of Democracy.
I keep hearing that the Conservatives outnumber the Liberals. What Gives? How come they get their way and we get the shaft???
If we don't do something and pretty damn quick, we will have fallen into what Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy and other radical liberals have planned for us. This didn't all come about overnite but in recent months things are moving so fast that soon we will be past any chance to save our way of life.
Be On Notice! Federal Bail Outs, Government Control over Corporations, Printing Mass amounts of currency with no collateral, Forever borrowing from China, leaning away & being rude to our allies, kissing up to rogue terrorist states, Pushing for a Federal Health Plan that will destroy our Economy forever, Failure to Secure our Borders against Aliens that would hurt us, A Plan to give Social Security monies & Free Health Care to Illegal Aliens, Cutting the Defense Budget, Cutting back on our Weapons that protect our Country, Demoralizing our Military ..... DON'T YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING????????
What the Hell are we going to do about it???
While these plans are all being implemented our personal taxs will increase, at a minimum $3000 a year! That is probably way under estimated, it could go to $5000, $7000 more than we are being taxed now. Okay if you are one that lives on $11,000 to $20,000 a year, just subtract this new tax amount out of your income... Think you will live on that? NOT HARDLY!
So!! What the Hell are we going to do about it?? We better be coming up with some answers quick because I am not sure we can wait until 2010, 2012 elections...
You better believe, This is a Crisis!! and The Radical Lefty Liberal is the Problem.
ObamaHealthCare,,, Sure sounds sweet if you don't already have Health Insurance, I know some people and you do to, that have never had Health Insurance of their own, They have always relied on Public Assistance and if it was neccessary that is okay.. But you get the majority on such health plans and you will have grave consequences:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9S7P1uvh44
Following Information taken from HumanEvents.com
Obama describes his health care scheme with the usual pie-in-the-sky rhetoric, claiming - with fingers crossed behind his back - that his approach will heal the sick, miraculously reduce costs, and resurrect a moribund health system.
Obama has already told you that if you want to keep your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor and if you want to keep your present health plan, you'll be able to keep your present health plan. Specifically,
Obama said: "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away."
But Obama can't keep that promise and he knows it.
Jim Lindgren writing for the Internet blog the Volokh Conspiracy: "But if the Obama plan is enacted, a substantial portion of employers will cut their health subsidies - raising their employees' share of contributions to the company plan - in order to drive some of the employees into the government exchange and the public option.
Other employers may drop their plans altogether - after all, workers could buy their own coverage in the government exchange - or simply fund part of their workers' participation in the exchange. These changes, which would be the direct results of the implementation of the Obama plan, would make it virtually impossible for Obama to keep these promises...."
But will keeping your doctor or your health care provider really matter when government bureaucrats start calling the shots and telling your doctor and provider exactly what they can and cannot do... what they are allowed to treat... what they're allowed to pay.
Make no mistake, Obama's takeover of health care will be nothing more than a raw power grab, more cutting than his takeover of the banks and the automobile industry. Its goal will not be to improve health care but, to reward political allies - and punish people like you.
You can stop him by letting the Congressional leadership know - right now... today - that there will be a political price to pay if they allow the world's best health care system turn into a medical wasteland.
Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Fax messages to Barack Obama and each and every Member of the Republican and Democrat leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
Tell them to reject any temptation to compromise or fix the Obama-Care proposals that will be thrust upon them.
Tell them that the only option is to reject the Obama plan outright. No compromises... no fixes... tell our elected leaders to just say no and when it comes to health care, to go back to the drawing board.

Let's examine the real repercussions of health care rationing?
Think of it this way, to Obama (and other Statists), people represent health costs. The fewer people, the lower the costs.
Are we saying that Obama will target the elderly, the handicapped and the unborn to reduce costs?
Consider Obama's own words remarks as reprinted in the Washington Times and make that call yourself. "Part of what I think government can do effectively is to be an honest broker in assessing and evaluating treatment options."
Obama also said: "The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill...." Regarding those in the last phases of life, Obama specifically says: "There is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists.
And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels."
Obama's top health advisers have emphasized that America should value the lives of young, healthy people more than those of old, sick individuals.
One such adviser is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Obama's chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel. Kevin Williamson of National Review Online describes Dr. Emanuel's views: "He wrote in The Lancet in 2008: 'Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination.' We all were young once, the argument goes, and so denying the elderly and weak in order to care for the young and fit is just."
Just what do you think Obama's talking about here?
Trust me, these are scary times and if you're over the age of 55, be very scared.
If you're chronically ill with diabetes or high blood pressure or multiple sclerosis - or dying with heart disease or cancer - your future doesn't look very bright.
Would Obama empower the federal government and bureaucratic pencil-pushers to decide exactly when your presence on earth is no longer feasible, viable or sustainable?
Do we really want to find out the answer the hard way?
And if you're really sick, what are the chances that you might die in line, waiting for treatment that simply does not come in time?
Dr. Gratzer tells us what's going on in Canada: "I trained in emergency rooms that were chronically, chaotically, dangerously overcrowded... all across Canada.
I met a middle-aged man with sleep problems who was booked for an appointment with a specialist three years later; a man with pain... who was referred to a pain clinic with a two-year wait list; a woman with breast cancer who was asked to wait for four months before starting the life-saving radiation therapy." When you consider the evils of health care rationing, consider the following.
Addressing the AMA, Obama implied that costs were rising because patients were getting unneeded care. In fact, the opposite is true.
A 2003 survey by the Rand Corporation found that only 11% of patients got treatments they didn't need - while a whopping 46% failed to receive needed care. And strangely, there's tremendous irony in Obama's mindless drive toward a government-run system.
In Great Britain, France, Germany - and even Canada - there's a growing push to get people back into private insurance systems, taking the pressure off public facilities and doctors.
It's a move toward - you guessed it - government cost savings.
It's time to tell Congress - loudly and clearly - that falling off a cliff is hazardous to our health, as individuals and as a nation.
Obama claims that his health plan won't involve rationing or reduced care.
But that's ridiculous, because all government-run health systems suffer from those drawbacks.
For a real-world, practical example, we only need look at the Canadian system.
Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian-trained physician who practices in the United States, describes his own revelation about Canada's medical horror show:
"On [my way to medical school class]... I cut through a hospital emergency room and came upon dozens of people on stretchers - waiting, moaning, begging for treatment. Some elderly patients had waited up to five days in corridors before being admitted to beds. They smelled of urine and sweat. As I navigated past the bodies, I began to question everything I thought I knew about health care - not only in Canada, but also in the United States. ...
I had begun a journey into the heart of one of the great policy disasters of modern times." Is the situation really any better in Europe - should we, for instance, emulate the French?
Consider a French journalist's words at the Heritage Foundation: "The majority of France's state-owned hospitals are managed in a way that is reminiscent of the old U.S.S.R. ... In the average French public hospital, it is not uncommon for every window to be open, even in winter, because the heating system in the building cannot be regulated. With the only options being no heat or unbearably high heat, everyone opts for the latter. Predictably, this is not very cheap."
What about Germany? The British medical journal Lancet states: "The German health care system is facing bankruptcy on an unprecedented scale."
In Great Britain, one current cost-saving measure is the denial of essential medications to women in advanced stages of certain cancers.
And yet, on June 15, Barack Obama told the American Medical Association (AMA) that other developed countries - he meant nations like Canada, Germany, France, and Britain - pay much less per capita for health care than Americans.
Tell us something we don't know... you also get exactly what you pay for.
So why does Obama want to bring millions of people into the system literally overnight?
What happens when there are suddenly many more patients than there are practitioners to care for them?
Will the health care system start to follow the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) model... where you take-a-number.... and wait... and then wait some more?
What gives? What does the Majority want for our Country? What Direction do You want to see us go?
Does the Majority want to live in a Socialistic Governed Country? God I don't, I don't want my kids, their kids and all future generations have to live with the mess we are making out of Democracy.
I keep hearing that the Conservatives outnumber the Liberals. What Gives? How come they get their way and we get the shaft???
If we don't do something and pretty damn quick, we will have fallen into what Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy and other radical liberals have planned for us. This didn't all come about overnite but in recent months things are moving so fast that soon we will be past any chance to save our way of life.

IMPEACH! Hell!, He should be Imprisoned also..... He is against our God, He is against our Constitution, He is against The Declaration of Independence, He is against our Way of Life, He is against our Friends but he is leaning toward our enemies.
Could he have been Elected without the use of his own Acorn group? I THINK NOT!! We the People have to start making the necessary Corrections in 2010 & 2012... I pray it won't be to late..

By Charles Krauthammer
A LITTLE LONG BUT WORTH READING......
My friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer.
He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT second-hand but first-hand.
Subj: Charles Krauthammer Speech/Comments on the 'New Economy' and Barack Obama To my friends & associates:
Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned and articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has a Pulitzer prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have shared this with many of you and several have asked me to summarize his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally. Even two Dems at my table agreed with everything he said!
If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not 'drunk the Kool- Aid', feel free. A summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a 'cool customer' who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's 'behind the mask'. Taking down the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attnention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to 'level the playing field' with income redistribution and punishment of the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single- payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid.
5. He's surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever run even a candy store. But they're going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama's not a socialist; rather a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left.. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the USA , more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate and coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalence in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He's now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not 'come due' until after he's reelected in 2012. He'd like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. We're 'pining' for another Reagan, but there'll never be another like him. He believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in Feb.) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and information if she's to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and states' rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible & outrageous. We're spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyper inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus pkg. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10.. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman Brothers failed. Fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of 'change' caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising is was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it'll be a dogfight. It'll all be about the economy.
I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There's a left- wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.

MJ, Wacko Jacko, Michael, King of Pop ????
Everyone will remember MJ for various reasons & thats good, I guess..
Myself, maybe it's my age or my taste of music or my moral ideals, I am not sure. Maybe it is all of that.
He seemed to have unusual talents, I never went out of my way to see or hear him but occasionally he would pop up on the screen (pepsi commercials, etc.)
For me, I will remember:
One less crotch grabbing obscene idiot on family tv.
One less danger for small boys.
One less idiot hanging babies out of upstairs windows.
One less person with talent as a fine young boy turn himself into a circus sideshow freak.
I am cruel, I don't feel sorry for MJ - he self destructed. but I do have compassion for his family, for them I am truely sorry.
He was supposed to have had some real close great friends, Liz Taylor being one. Where was her influence? Everytime I seen Jacko looking, acting like an idiot, Liz was comforting him and inviting him to parties.
Michael is not a Hero, He is not someone that young people should look up to. After watching TV news the last 24 hours, We are totally screwed up as a society putting this human, man-child, whatever on any form of pedistal.
People, MJ was not and is not the kind of celebrity you want young people looking up to. Myself I will turn the channel everytime he is being idolized. It is disgusting.......

Honest Abe
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

CHANGE
Change
Not long ago I read a joke ... It said all the politicians running for president are promising change to the American people. We send them billions and billions of tax dollars and they send us the change.
Funny?
Not really; there is too much truth in it to be funny.
That got me to thinking ... They all promise change. How about if they run on a promise of restoration rather than change.
A restoration that would take us back in time to a place where things ran better, smoother and life was more enjoyable. Change? That, in truth, is what they have been giving us all along.
We used to have a strong dollar ... Politicians changed that..
Marriage used to be sacred .. Politicians are changing that.
We used to be respected around the world ... Politicians changed that.
We used to have a strong manufacturing economy ... Politicians changed that.
We used to have lower tax structures ... Politicians changed that.
We used to enjoy more freedoms ... Politicians changed that.
We used to be a large exporter of American made goods ... Politicians changed that.
We used to teach patriotism in schools ... Politicians changed that.
We used to educate children in schools ... Politicians changed that.
We used to enforce LEGAL citizenship ... Politicians changed that.
We used to have affordable food & gas prices ... Politicians changed that, too....and one could go on and on with this list.
What hasn't been changed, politicians are promising to change that as well, if you will elect them.
When, oh when, is America going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once were and where we have come and say, enough is enough?
The trouble is, America 's youthful voters today don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty years ago. They see the world as if it has always existed, as it is now.
When will we wake up? Tomorrow may be too late. When will America realize...Politicians are what is wrong with America !! ??
What is needed is for the constitution to be amended to limit all Senators and Representatives to TWO terms in office like the President.
Oh, by the way, no big pension either, Social Security just like the rest of us.
Being a politician shouldn't be a persons life work but rather a call to service then back to being an honest hard working citizen.

Once Upon A Time
First it was: "I had a Dream"
.....now it's.....
"I AM the Dream"! ! !
A Fairy Tale???
And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as The One.
He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you.
My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed."
And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what The One would do, he had promised that it was good; and they believed. And The One said, "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." And the people said, "Sock it to them! And redistribute their wealth. Show us the money!"
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody." And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??"
And The One ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.
One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?" And The One said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then The One said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes." So The One said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then The One said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!" And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed. And He said, "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!" Then He said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas." And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then The One said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!" And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates." So The One said, "Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out.
Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!"
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..." And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank as a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support. Then The One said, "I am the The One - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"
But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more..." And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!" And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!" And the people cried out,
"Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung.
And the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change The Onehad given them was as a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"
But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.
You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening RIGHT NOW!

I once was but I was able to quit
I once smoked, Oh Ya -- lets see,,, started when I was 15 (then you was really cool) ,, quit on my 63rd birthday. figure that out, that would be 48 yrs.... 2-3 pks. everyday.. Holy Crap! what we will do to ourselves. It was a Hell of a lot easier to start than it was to quit but I finally did it. My advise "don't start",, not cool, not even smart.
I once put career first, family second --- Now that was really stupid & selfish. I am not going to spend much time on this because I am not a bit proud of ever being that blind, stupid or selfish. All I can really say is to My Family: I am sorry, really sorry.
I once was a Democrat --- Yups, full blown Democrat. Even donated cash every time it was requested. Born a Democrat, Raised a Democrat, even tried to think like one.
But then along came Jimmy Carter and I started my waking up process ( hey I said started! )
Then one day Bill & Hillary came on the scene... I was one of the lucky ones, I seen thru them pretty quick. I thought to myself, whats my choices? Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian or one of them other off the main stream parties.
I have to admit I have always been moderate and a bit to the right or I started leaning that way sometime in the last 20-25 years.
My problems with Clinton? everything! yup, everything that has ever been written about him, everything he has ever done or said. To numerous to even get into.
Bush 1, I thought he was a good man & good for us during the years we had him. Bush 2, some won't like this and most won't agree but I like him now and I liked him as President. The main thing G.W. did not do that I greatly disagreed with was leave our borders open. I won't forgive him for that one.
Now,,, I am going to be a good Republican as I have been since my awakening but if my party fails to see the importance of closing our borders and getting all illegal aliens out of my country then I guess I will be looking for another party that feels the way I do.
How can so many things illegal really be illegal but illegal aliens aren't really illegal, not paying taxs is illegal but if the Dems choose to not pay taxs it's not really illegal?? Kind of strange, isn't it?
I once was young -- but, I wouldn't want to do it again. It was tough, it was fun. I met all my friends, met my wife, met my kids, grandkids and 1 little bugger (my great grandson) they are the reason.
I once was smart -- You know, the thing I wish I could turn back and redo the most? spend more time with my dad, he was really a great man but it took me to long to figure that out and of course spend more time with family when you are younger. Things like camping, fishing, sledding, swimming, hiking...
I once put career first, family second --- Now that was really stupid & selfish. I am not going to spend much time on this because I am not a bit proud of ever being that blind, stupid or selfish. All I can really say is to My Family: I am sorry, really sorry.
I once was a Democrat --- Yups, full blown Democrat. Even donated cash every time it was requested. Born a Democrat, Raised a Democrat, even tried to think like one.
But then along came Jimmy Carter and I started my waking up process ( hey I said started! )
Then one day Bill & Hillary came on the scene... I was one of the lucky ones, I seen thru them pretty quick. I thought to myself, whats my choices? Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian or one of them other off the main stream parties.
I have to admit I have always been moderate and a bit to the right or I started leaning that way sometime in the last 20-25 years.
My problems with Clinton? everything! yup, everything that has ever been written about him, everything he has ever done or said. To numerous to even get into.
Bush 1, I thought he was a good man & good for us during the years we had him. Bush 2, some won't like this and most won't agree but I like him now and I liked him as President. The main thing G.W. did not do that I greatly disagreed with was leave our borders open. I won't forgive him for that one.
Now,,, I am going to be a good Republican as I have been since my awakening but if my party fails to see the importance of closing our borders and getting all illegal aliens out of my country then I guess I will be looking for another party that feels the way I do.
How can so many things illegal really be illegal but illegal aliens aren't really illegal, not paying taxs is illegal but if the Dems choose to not pay taxs it's not really illegal?? Kind of strange, isn't it?
I once was young -- but, I wouldn't want to do it again. It was tough, it was fun. I met all my friends, met my wife, met my kids, grandkids and 1 little bugger (my great grandson) they are the reason.

The Axis of Idiots
Entry for May 02, 2009
I am going to put an article in here that some will not agree with and some of you will wish you had the skills to present this view.

'The Axis of Idiots'
Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the
Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine
to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people
hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were
at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you
ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade
Center Bombing & Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you
failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about
American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your life, is
more fiction than fact. You have accused our military of terrorizing women
and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong
time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam . You are a fake. You want
to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the
Vietnamese. Iraq , like Vietnam , is another war that you were for, before
you were against it.
John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win
militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded
murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa -- Okinawa ,
John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you
didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war
hero resume? You're a sad, pitiful, corrupt and washed up politician. You're
not a Marine, sir. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders
of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two
million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the
Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was
not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.
Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib
in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying
that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see
the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you.
If you truly supported our troops, you would show the world poster-sized
pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it.Your legislation
stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory
there. You're a bloated, drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical
blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal
maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide,
gin-soaked rear-end in Washington .
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ
Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the
Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front
of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war
because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are
torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the
same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think
that we will run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little
longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the
Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours
after they have gained both strength and momentum.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish
stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering
methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that
torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up
the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my
country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think
about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.
You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy
us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more
important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent
civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the
way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing.
There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering
terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend
this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our Soldiers home as you
claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of
supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.
Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also
questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be
breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform.
You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the
people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are
willing to defend it.
Our country has two enemies:Those who want to destroy us from the outside
and those who attempt it from within.

The Right was Wrong! The Left is Nuts?

The Right was Wrong! The Left is Nuts?
Where do we go from here? Whats next?
1.Is it just me or does anyone have a problem with PC (political correctness)?
2.How about our open borders that our politicians don't seem to worry about?
3.The moral issues facing our Country?
4.The so-called Hollywood celebrities that can't seem to make a decent movie but sure seem to have the idea they can shape America into what they think it should be?
5.Is corruption in politics on the rise?
6.How about the U.N. and what good is it anyway?
7.God not allowed in school or Gov.?
8.The money we have borrowed from China?
9.Buying goods made in China? Are they not poisoning our children? Our Pets? hurting our kids with faulty, unsafe toys that have been painted with lead? Their milk has been poisoned, toys poisoned, clothes have been poisoned with some chemical in their plastics,. They can't even make a can of dogfood that won't kill your pet. They have no Human rights and they are about to own us.
Am I the only one that is scared to death? Is their anything we can do about it? Do we want to? I sure do. Just think about this next line.
I volunteer at a local FoodBank in my town. I give out commodities to people down on their luck and just need a little helping hand to get up again. A while back I give a commodity box to a Senior Citizen which needed a little help. He came back in a couple days with a can of mixed fruit which he would have enjoyed but: the can said packed in China on it. The old man said, their dog food is killing our pets and I am supposed to eat their food? I found a can of fruit (not from china) and gladly replaced it for the Sr. Citizen. I also disposed of the can of fruit. Now I don't know about you but I don't think I would have eat the fruit either. I don't have anything against the Chinese people or anyone, it's their government, like ours that I worry about. Is their anything U.S. citizens can do and should we do something?
I would like to hear from anyone that may be concerned. Maybe this is just and old man that is still living in the 50s, what do you think?
Let me know, Thanks.
