SPECIAL POST
The very first thing that crosses my mind when Iran flips ITS giant middle finger to the rest of the world and announces that it will build as many nuclear facilities as it damned-well wants is that situation we were in when Jimmy Carter, Obama’s predecessor in winning the Nobel Peace Prize, was at the helm. If you remember correctly, the number one song-hit in those days was, “Bomb, bomb, bomb… bomb, bomb Iran.” And, here we are again.
The second thing that passes through my mind is the length of time it has taken Obama to make the decision regarding more Afghanistan troops; being well over 90 days, it shows the molasses-like speed of Obama’s thought processes and the charisma he asserts in his quest to be the de facto “messiah of the world.” I’d prefer to have a President with more decisive leadership skills as opposed to one who has charisma.
The realistic way to look at the situation from a purely military standpoint is that we urgently need to send 60,000 more troops and a whole bunch of military hardware into Afghanistan, just so they are strategically located in the likelihood that we have to deal with Iran in a more “politically incorrect” manner. There’s also the remote chance that the collective Iranian insane asylum might be persuaded to be more a little more neighborly without us having to stomp the shit out of them.
All of which brings us to the point: Within 10 short months of “change,” this country has progressed from being relatively secure in a post-9/11 world to being on the wrong end of nuclear-tipped missiles in the hands of Iran and North Korea, while being saddled with a President who seems hell-bent on getting his Government-run Health Care Plan passed. If Awkmandidhejig is already this rambunctious, what’s he going to be like to deal with during the New York City terrorist trials? The real question now facing us suddenly switches from, “How in the hell are we going to pay for this new Health Care Plan that is totally, totally out of touch with reality, when we have an economy that is on the verge of becoming the “Greatest Depression?” to, “How are we going to deal with Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan and the fact that our country is already internally permeated with radical terrorist factions? How will we survive?”
How will our unethical, corrupt, self-centered collection of clowns who occupy the halls of power in Congress and the White House handle this new ominous threat of a World War III? Will they, knowing that the world’s greatest financial crises have historically been solved by going to war, allow things to continue until the flames of war are lit once more? Is Obama, through his bows and apologies to the rest of the world not fanning those arrogant flames? Is he now going to tell us that it’s our fault?
Is the price we Americans must inevitably pay for allowing our morals, ethics and patriotism to crumble into a quagmire of self-centered evil that currently exists in our midst? What situation will this charismatic twit in the White House have us in after three more years?
That question really spurs you into wanting to go Christmas shopping, doesn’t it?

AMERICAN ANGER EVOLVING INTO HATRED & DISTRUST
SPECIAL POST
Almost from day one, the facts and figures coming out of Washington have been, to say the least, erroneous. One day they tell us this and the next day they change it to that. Operating in crisis mode, they bamboozled us into believing that the TARP money, the “stimulus” money, the bailout money…. All had to be spent within hours or the country was doomed. “Unless we spend this money right now, unemployment is going to soar. If we spend it right now, we can contain unemployment at 8%." We spent the money and unemployment is at 10.2% and rising.
One day, we’re going to have plenty of vaccine for the H1N1 virus. A few weeks later, they tell us about the shortage, but promise they will get that fixed. They never have, but they did admit that they "under-estimated" the situation. They are now suggesting that the swine virus might be merging with the bird flu virus into a new virus, so “what’s the big deal, anyway?” Maybe they'll name this new virus the "When pigs fly flu?" Try and say that ten times without going postal.
They tell us that so many tens of thousands of jobs have been saved or created as a result of their ERA spending, then we find out that the figures on their website are lies…lies they don’t plan to fix. Obama dismisses these lies by saying they are “just a side issue.” Okay, wise guy, I want to know what really happened to those billions of dollars that were pent in non-existent Congressional Districts. If it's just a side issue, show me the money!
Now comes forth the story that the facts and figures used to support the global warming theory have been manufactured over a 13-year period and that they are totally wrong. On this basis alone, how can we even think about “CAP AND TRADE?” Yet, Obama is rushing off to Copenhagen again, this time to try and talk nations of the world into following his lead and enacting similar Cap & Trade laws that will certainly spell more economic doom.
Pelosi and Reid have been working feverishly in trying to cram a Health Plan up our rear ends that we do not want. We all know many of the lies and manipulations they have put forth on us in trying to get this Bill passed. They seem obsessed with making those of us who are solidly against abortion pay the tab for those who are not. They refuse to even discuss malpractice reform. They hide substantial costs by forcing them upon the states, when we will end up paying for them anyway. They say that seniors will not be hurt, but seniors are taking the brunt of the costs; after we have been paying for insurance all of our lives, now they want to stick it to us. When their own budget office tells them the costs are too high, they go ballistic with indignant outrage. Just when you think they can't do anything more outrageous than the things they have already done to us, along comes the mammogram and cervical exam bull.
As for the illegal alien issue, you need to know that the Health Care Plan will says that illegal aliens won't be allowed to participate, but the move is already afoot to give the illegals full amnesty so that they can get our health care and this will further escalate the costs of "the Plan." (Not my fault, I didn't know they were going to do that. Gosh, we'll just have to raise taxes some more...again?)
They bring to our soil terrorist trials and, in so doing, they rub our noses into the reminders of 9/11. Holder assures us that the trials will not turn into a stage for the terrorists to spew forth their agenda from, and Obama practically guarantees they will be found guilty and executed. Both Holder and Obama totally ignore the will of the people, the terrorists change their pleas to innocent and announce they will be vocal and they have a right to be vocal and we can’t stop them. When Congress hauls Holder in for a dog-and-pony-show questioning, Holder basically fluffs them off.
At the same time, ACORN, a close ally of the President and of Holder, is suffering from rampant crime and corruption with OUR MONEY, and Holder flatly refuses to investigate or prosecute.
Now, Carl Levin and David Obey suggest that there should be a “War Tax” levied on us to cover the costs of the war in Afghanistan so that their “other objectives” such as Cap & Trade and the Health Care Bill don’t get sidetracked. They are being joined by the epitome of fiscal responsibility, Charles Rangel; the whole move is being undertaken to try to force us to turn against any “win the war in Afghanistan” strategy.
Here is the summation: We can’t trust their “figures.” We can’t trust their “facts.” We can’t rely on their “statistics.” To add insult to injury, they do not give a damn.
This is our fault. We are to blame. The buck stops with you and me. This anger in America, this steaming hatred that is nearing the boiling point, is being caused by our failure to rein these people in. We need to swell the ranks of the American Tea Party. We need to scream on the phone, send faxes by the millions, and burn up their Internet with our emails. We need to get in their faces again, like we did in the Town Hall Meetings, but this time we need to be sure they don’t have their earplugs on and that they are not surrounded by S.E.I.U. thugs.
If we don’t, I suppose we should do what the special interests do, and bribe them? Is this the only answer…get a few million dollars together and go pay them off to do their duly sworn jobs?
I don’t think so. Raising Holy Hell is the right answer, and we need to start right now, this very minute. And they need to be made to understand that we mean business.

REID'S HEALTH CARE FLEECING OF AMERICA
SPECIAL POST
Now he's buying votes and he's using our money to do it!
By the time these bastards in Congress get done picking our pockets and our bones, the only thing we are going to have left to cling on to is our religion and our guns, and they're already scheming on how to get them.
YES! Geithner needs to resign and he needs to take every damned member of Congress and the President with him!
Disgusted American.

WORLD WIDE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE LOOMING?
SPECIAL POST
A French bank, Societe Generale, is warning that global economic collapse could occur within the next two years. The bank warns that rescue packages over the past year have merely transferred private liabilities onto government shoulders, creating a fresh set of problems. Debt levels, public or private, are too high as a share of GDP.
In the United States, the Congress is nearing passage of a massive health care overhaul that promises to add billions of dollars to an already overburdened debt. If passed, massive tax increases could take effect as early as 2010, adding to double-digit unemployment, home foreclosures, and probably leading to a stock market tumble that would certainly not be reversible in any short term.
Tim Geithner will certainly have plenty of people to blame for his gross mismanagement and bad advice.
All kidding aside, this is serious news and tends to bolster the argument that our economy is far from being cured.

NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST?
This government has gone too far, told too many lies, misspent too much money, commandeered too many of our personal freedoms, mortgaged the futures of our children, manipulated, misinformed, disinformed, bullied those who protest, covered up its misdeeds, surrounded itself with those who would bring our Constitution down, allowed illegals to enter and reside here against the law, mismanaged our system of justice, and thumbed its collective nose at every American institution that exists. “Shut up and get out of our way,” has become the mantra of our Government.
The same government that lies about what its stimulus plan is accomplishing, also fails to advise us that it has allowed another 1,000,000 illegal immigrants into the country while unemployment soars. It has saddled us and our grand children with a burden of debt that will break our backs and in doing so it has mortgaged our souls without giving us any benefits. Not only does it openly plan to redistribute wealth from those who have been successful to those who have sat on their duffs, but it also intends to send what little we have left to third-world nations in a global redistribution.
It is taking over our banks and financial institutions. It seeks to control an additional 1/6 of our economy by taking control of our health system. I can go on, and on, and on, and you know that to be true.
Ask yourself this: If the government has the gall to tell you, as a small business owner, that you will be fined up to $250,000 if you don’t buy health insurance for your employees, and that you will be sent to jail for up to five years for the same offense, and that you must give your employees paid days off if they get sick whether they have only worked one day for you or not… doesn’t it strike you as realistic that they will put you in jail if you can’t afford to stay in business and therefore decide to fire your employees and to close up?
How much of these cram-down, bully tactics are we going to take, and whose country is it, anyway?
Do you think they would get the message if we small business owners would just shut down for a day and if every patriotic American just flat didn’t show up for work for a day? Who would fly the airlines? Who would man the banks? Who would clear the snow off the roads? Who would sell gas? How much tax revenue would be lost?
None of us have any money to spend on gifts this year anyway, so we don’t we just take an extra day off and sit on our duffs and let those idiots in Washington stew in their own juices?
If they are going to treat us like crap, maybe it’s time we started acting like shit heads?
Dear God, am I losing my mind?

THE OBAMA TRIALS
Let us always remember: WE ARE NOT TO BLAME for this tragedy of errors. From this moment on, every time we hear of these New York trials for the terrorist scum, and every time some outrageous remark or happening occurs down this years long road of justice ahead of us, let us remember who brought them here against our better judgment and wishes... Barack Obama and Eric Holder. And, so that we don't forget... they should forever be dubbed "THE OBAMA TRIALS."

WE DON'T CARE WHICH PARTY WINS IN 2010
The Republicans are standing in the rain and singing as if they were standing in the sun. They’re singing like canaries in wild anticipation of a bucketful of fresh worms; they…. They think it will be a lead-pipe cinch to win and clean house in 2010.
Doesn’t anyone in Washington get the damned message?
We are sick and tired of every last one of you, Republican AND Democrat! We‘re done, through, finished! We are weary of your stories, lies, misinformation, and disinformation. We’re fed up with your graft, corruption, and unethical, immoral conduct. We’ve had enough of your failures to do your jobs, your wild spending parties, your lavish junkets, and your desperate grabs for powers reserved to the states and to the people.
Your total disregard for our Constitution, your attempts to rewrite or trample our Bill of Rights, your flat-out refusals to hear what we say at Town Hall meetings or Tea Parties… every transgression against us has known no political boundaries or limits. Your name-calling and pious talk-downs are the last straw. You call us “political terrorists,” “douche-bag tea-baggers,” “right-wing extremists,” “lunatics,” and a litany of other names designed to make America know that we are the pissants. The Republicans don’t stand up against this barrage of Un-American activities; just ask one what they think about the name calling and you will be treated to a new rendition of “Tip-toe Through the Tulips.”
No, we don’t want a Republican-controlled Congress. We want an AMERICAN controlled Congress. We, the people, want Senators and Representatives who carry a copy of the Constitution with them every day and every step of the way. We want an end to the lies. We want an American who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance without looking at a cheat sheet. We want someone who will not sell out what is right in order to gain political power.
Republicans, you need to understand the errors of YOUR ways: Your attitudes and actions are no better than the Democrats’ and, frankly, you all make us want to puke.
Make us no more promises. Tell us no more lies. Cover up no more mistakes. Live up to the responsibilities of your positions. These are the only courses of action you can take if you have even the slightest prayer of holding on to your jobs in 2010. If you are not willing to step up to that plate, start packing your bags because you, ladies and gentlemen, are about to become toast.
This country is in horrible shape and you are to blame. We the people are now taking charge.

DOMESTIC RADICAL MUSLIM EXTREMISTS: WHAT TO DO?
There is no way to address this subject and to be “politically correct” at the same time. So, forgive me if I offend you but, this has to be said.
Radical Muslim / Islamic extremists working under the blessing of Osama killed over 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. This same faction of the world’s population has been taking out Americans and other freedom loving people for years, both here and abroad. Dozens of plots designed by the same faction have, thank God, been thwarted in the United States. Now, we have an officer in the United States Army, an apparent Muslim radical, who has taken out 12 lives and injured 31 others.
Moments after the Fort Hood attack was over, the apologists went into full spin. Hassan was “under pressure,” he got into the Army long before we had problems with Al Queda, he was “trying” to get out of the Army so he would not have to fight fellow Muslims... There are those in Congress who are against the Patriot Act. They don’t want us to intercept communications to Al Queda or other enemies. No, if someone is wearing a turbine and acting suspiciously, you do not have the right to question him because that is racial profiling. Racial profiling is not politically correct.
Well, and as politely as I can put it…..bull shit.
I am surrounded by dozens, probably hundreds, of radical Islamic cults. At least 10% of the Muslim Mosques in this country preach radical Jihad, according to the FBI. Law enforcement and intelligence officials are hamstrung by rules that prohibit taking a closer look at Muslims than at little old white ladies with knitting bags? Yet, our government wants to take away from me my right to own a gun?
I am not calling for Muslim “internment camps.” I don’t advocate shipping all Muslims out of the country. Nevertheless, we need to empower our law enforcement officials to investigate and ascertain the political ideologies of Muslims and to deport them if they are found by a Court to be a danger to America.
Otherwise, we are all in grave danger, and who is to blame?

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SHOVED IT TO AMERICANS
ALL OF THE WAY UP.
And, they didn't use vaseline, either.
Take down the names of those who voted "Yea" and start now, this very minute. Find someone to replace them in November. Start grooming them, preparing them, financially supporting them today.
It doesn't matter whether you replace them with a Republican or a Democrat. Just replace them with an American who believes in the will of the people.

AARP STEPS IN DEEP BUCKET
SPECIAL POST
It’s not very often that I’ll put out two opinions on the same subject, back-to-back. In this case, AARP has committed the ultimate of sins, and it needs to bear the brunt of what needs to be said. It has betrayed its membership and its purpose. It’s vision:
Insurers who sell supplementary insurance to cover what Medicare does not, will reap the benefit of having more insurance to sell and at a higher cost. AARP, through mutual arrangements with several insurance companies, sells Medicare Supplement Insurance. It is patently obvious to me that AARP has chosen profit over its vision and at the cost of its members.
The population is aging. In just a few years, the seniors in this country will be able to exert overwhelming power due to their burgeoning population sector.
We shall not forget what a despicable piece of legislation is being voted on at this time, how it will affect us, who voted yes, and the fact that AARP supported it.
We shall not forget.

AARP’S FAR LEFT STANCE IS ANTI-AMERICAN
As a long-time member of AARP, I was shocked when they came forward in support of the proposed Government-Run Health Care Plan. I thought that their opinions, judgments and purpose were to lobby for and to support the goals and objectives of senior Americans. I guess I really did not understand what the organization is or what it stands for.
Imagine my surprise the other day when I picked up a piece of literature putting AARP right at the very top of the list of National Organizations with Anti-Gun Policies.
Our federal government stands ready to put into law a bill that will slash Medicare by $500 billion; that will mandate end-of-life counseling, (yes, it’s back in both bills despite President Obama’s and Congressional promises otherwise); will raise taxes on all Americans without raising Social Security benefits, (meaning we will have shrinking net income to pay for insurance, Medicare and deductibles); does not attack out-of-control malpractice insurance costs to doctors; does not provide a mechanism to reduce drug costs; and does not ensure to any degree whatsoever that insurance premiums will go down, simply because the driving forces that are sending premiums sky-high have not been mitigated. The Bills both mandate… require… that we have insurance or be in violation of the law and fined; that requirement alone is unconstitutional.
Yet, AARP backs the plan.
At a time when more and more Americans, particularly vulnerable seniors, are becoming victims of violence and at a time when the sales of guns for personal protection is at an all-time high, AARP stands firmly against our Second Amendment rights.
In other words, AARP stands against our Constitution on two major national issues and promotes, rather than opposes, two major governmental policies in the making that are totally contradictory to the bests interests of an aging America.
I am upset with myself for being suckered in to an organization that is contrary to what I believe in and what I know is right.
Screw their discounts at major national chains; as a senior, I get them anyway. Screw their “value priced insurance” policies that you can get for less by going directly to the vendor.
I AM to blame for not checking out what I was getting into before I got into it. The “culture” of reaching 55 and automatically becoming a member of AARP is pure bull. I have dropped my membership and I am dropping my insurance policies.
In this case, I’d rather switch than fight.

D-DAY FOR AMERICA
SPECIAL POST
All eyes and ears are on Washington as both the Senate and the House committees working on the proposed new Health Care Plan have advanced their proposals to their respective floors for debate and full House or Senate vote. The next few days will decide what final versions will go to a joint committee to be hammered out, passed and sent on for the inevitable Presidential signature. Then, according to what Americans have been told, a great new change in health care will be ushered in, flowers will bloom in December and angels will trumpet and sing praises of the Great Accomplishment.
In the next ten years, the national debt will go up by $10 trillion. Unemployment will rise into the teens. Inflation will soar. These things we know and will be forced to accept.
If that is a bitter pill to swallow, here’s a bigger one. As Americans have attended Town Hall Meetings and marched on Washington, as the Internet as been abuzz with opinion against this cram-down, and as opinion polls have clearly shown that Americans do not want this legislation to pass in its current form, Washington has called us every name in the book; Washington has been totally dismissive of our collective voices; Washington has turned its collective back on America; and Washington has had no compunction about doing these things to their neighbors, their families, their constituents.
In so doing, they have attempted to switch the blame for our disastrous economic condition first to George Bush, and then to us.
Obviously, they have contempt for us.
They were the ones in charge when money was spent and misspent. They were the ones who allowed bad housing loans to be made. They were the ones who allowed Republican and Democrat administrations to spend and spend our futures away. They participated in it; they were complicit in it.
We should not accept the blame for what they have done. We should not take this lying down.
We need to raise holy hell right now, today…. We need to let every single one of them know, in clear and most certain terms: “Congress and the President, what decisions you make now on this health care plan and on other spending bills pending will determine your continued employment.”
Fax. Email. Phone. Show up in person.
D-Day is here.
