Obama's Beer Fest

Did anyone else notice the photo-op manipulation done by the Prez' Marketing gurus? How the Veep had to be included to even out the races in attendance? So it didn't appear that it ( the BEER FEST) was a two-on-one situation.. Never heard anything about Biden being there, until, suddenly, unannounced, he was there..... Shows what the man (Pres) actually thinks. After he put his foot into his mouth, and carried the water for Gates (stupidly), another of his radical cronies, ie. Rev Wright (in 20 years of Church attendance, Obama never heard one racially charged sermon), can't let this thing appear (appearances are everything, to him) to be an overwhelming confrontation!!!! How blind the citizens are to the hypocrisy that permeates his reign.

Take a look at the Czars he has now appointed (over 20 thus far, and still growing), their authority not having to be overseen by the Legislators, not having accountability, and being financed by our tax dollars, average income of $165,000 per year (minimum), plus staff, you know they can't function alone, and expenses, how much does the staff cost? How much authority do they (the Tsars) have? and, over which Cabinet officials do they have jurisdiction?


Do you know that Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 7 (could be 8), of our Constitution speaks of the Tsars(Czar),or, Title of Nobility. This term, tsar, refers to the King/Emperor of Russia (I do believe that is a Title of Noble Authority), Hmmmmmmmmmm, Nobility??? ................ OUR CONSTITUTION States that No Title of Nobility (or, authority without oversight) should be used.

We have come a long way from the ideals our founding Fathers sought, limiting Governmental control over our every day lives. Our Legislators now Proclaiming, and denying, Rights that are, and are not enumerated in the Constitution. Taxing at a rate that is confiscatory. Over charging citizens at a rate beyond originally stated in the Bills passed, Income tax was supposed to NOT go over 7%, then by the end of WWI, the rate was as high as 77%, wow, when do you get mad enough to stand up to these thieves?
Did you know the only segment of our economy that is currently hiring, is our Government?


"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

Nobody's listening.

Slippery Slope

The Media "Elite-Speak"
a.k.a. Press' Info Ponzi Scheme

Heard the latest about "Birthers"? They're (the L-Media) labelling groups in a disdainful manner, a S.O.P Technique for Liberal-Left Media these days, in order to stop honest questioning/discussion of 'facts' that are being reported. Hawaii won't release Prez Obama's Birth Records because they (Hawaiians) feel that there must be a tangible right/interest, for this disclosure, the media mocks, smears, and ridicules these seekers of information (Birthers), saying the word of some Hawaiian State Bureaucrat is sufficient..nobody needs to see the originals.......Hmmmmmmm, does the Constitutionally Mandated Requirement of U.S. Citizenship meet the stated threshold of "tangible", in the seeking of truth?

HealthCare: Remember how this discussion started? Not every American is covered by Insurance? We're not talking Insurance now, not some easily resolved omission, whereby the Feds, can offer tax breaks to uninsured (excluding illegal immigrants), and get them coverage. Now, we have ONE THOUSAND, plus pages, of gobeldy-goop, so mundane/unimportant to our Legislators (they didn't write this, if they didn't, who did), that Rep.John Conyers(D-MI) said he WON'T read it, even if he would take the time, because two lawyers reading it wouldn't be able to explain the nuances of it...WHAT???????Where do these people get off, writing a Bill (did they), for us, and excluding themselves?, Where do they get off including Illegals in their thousand plus pages. Where do they get off not enforcing our laws on Immigration, forcing our taxes be paid for medical bills to people who are not here legally (and, once these illegals are under Hospital care, not exporting them home, when healthy enough to leave?).????? Who are these people. BUT, More importantly is, where is the outrage, where is the anger. Where is the Moral Majority?
YOU ARE OUT THERE, STAND UP..... BE HEARD

JOHN KENNEDY, a Democrat, said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.........." STAND UP, SPEAK OUT, the time is now..

We have become sheep being led to the slaughter, we have become the 'Atlas Shrugged' Generation, does that mean anything out there?(it's a book)

Our Bill of Rights, you remember, the first 10 amendments of our Constitution, (you do, right?), states in Amendment 9:

The Enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights, shall NOT be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people......

Amendment 10:The powers NOT delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor PROHIBITED by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Does this means anything now-a-days? I think not. Most Citizens are naive to these statements. and could care less. As we enjoy Football, Family, and Fun, this summer/fall season, Our congress is on the fast track to stripping the greatness that is America (While You Were SLEEPING) gone will be '...the pursuit of life, Liberty, and the Happiness' ; Gone the Entrepreneurial Spirit, that creates most jobs in this country, BIG BUSINESS DOESN'T, NEITHER DOES THE GOVERNMENT,where will the next jobs come from?; Gone will be the ability to pay for Utilities/energy, as some 'fat-cats' suck up your cash flow, and leave the scraps for the majority......... sleep away America.

I won't get into Reparations, do you even know what that is? No?, Obama doesn't like that word, he's got a scheme for that as well, he'll get those reparations, under the guise of some other-named Government Mandates, sleep on America.....'nuff said.......selah

EMAIL

For those who do not know Dave Borden, he is a former Black & Decker employee who lives in Hanover. His son Dave Jr was serving in Iraq and was badly injured from a bomb explosion. Dave Jr has had over 38 surgeries to date.

The email below is from a recent visit from President Obama, the email speaks for its self.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed by many, many political and military "celebs".

The list includes Bob Gates, Sec. of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4 times that if Dave Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number.

It includes Gen. Petreus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the events that led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes Sen. McCain who arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced, and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences with fate.

It includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to attend the very last Christmas party at the White House for the White House Staff. President Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went to Dave Jr.. President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he was injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the President that he has framed and will cherish forever.

The list goes on and on of people coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda.

Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM. He entered the room with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of their hands. He never asked their names, where they were from, or how they were injured. Then he left.

Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military. All he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake.

The others in the room, younger and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. has met, were so disappointed.

Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread to the MATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and throughout Bethesda. The military sees through his phoniness.

All I can say is that it is such a disappointment that this man is Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces.

He is an embarassment to our Nation.

Regards,


Dave

RUMINATIONS, 7/28/09

RUMINATIONS

Why can't these Legislators be required to have whatever healthcare program they create for the rest of us?

These Washinton elites claim 48million uninsured, where does that number come from? I hear 15milliuon are illegal immegrants. another 15 million are peolpe who can afford to pay for their medical bills, that leaves only 18million, is this even accurate.

There must be a better way to finance this government, why does the status quo for revenue always remain? Why Not the Fair Tax? Ever heard of it?

Why are these Washington elites not responsive to the electorate? I have never recieved a personal letter from any elected beauracrat that I have sent letters to.......

Cap and Trade is gonna make General Electric, and Al Gore rich, WHY? What is in this legislation that allows financial gain, at the expense of the citizens? Goldman Sachs is on the list of benefactors as well, what is going on?

When will Americans stand up for the country that has stood for them, and their individula rights, for centurys.

When do YOU stand up, time to be counted, close the self-centered focus, and become part of the solution, not the problem. We have the right/ the responsibility to keep this country in existance,

Why did Sen Graham, R-SC, accept this Supreme Court nominee? He was so adament against her on TV interviews, now, when the rubber meets the road, he backs down...........Another weak leader in the Republican Party.

Selah...........

WHERE ARE WE GOING? and WHY? the following is an important position, in the discussions of our HealthCare future. Self-Reliance is the aspect of this issue that is not being discussed. Who else out here is wondering why our elected officials aren't going to be a part of this newly created system... Why do they have to be exempted? and what are we going to do about it?........GSM




Universal Health Care Isn't Worth Our Freedom
What would Thoreau have made of the current debate?

By THOMAS SZASZ

People who seek the services of auto mechanics want car repair, not "auto care." Similarly, most people who seek the services of medical doctors want body repair, not "health care."

We own our cars, are responsible for the cost of maintaining them, and decide what needs fixing based partly on balancing the seriousness of the problem against the expense of repairing it. Our health-care system rests on the principle that, although we own our bodies, the community or state ought to be responsible for paying the cost of repairing them. This is for the ostensibly noble purpose of redistributing the potentially ruinous expense of the medical care of unfortunate individuals.

But what is health care? The concept of reimbursable health-care service rests on the premise that the medical problem in need of servicing is the result of involuntary, unwanted happenings, not the result of voluntary, goal-directed behavior. Leukemia, lupus, prostate cancer, and many infectious diseases are unwanted happenings. Are we going to count obesity, smoking, depression and schizophrenia as the same kinds of diseases?

Many Americans would willingly pay for insurance to protect them against the exorbitant cost of treating their own leukemia. But how many Americans would willingly pay for insurance to protect them from the expenses of treating their own depression?

Everyone recognizes that the more fully we wish insurance companies to defray our out of pocket expenses for our car repairs, the higher the premium they will charge for the policy. Yet foregoing reimbursement for trivial or unnecessary health-care costs in return for a more suitable health-care policy is an option unavailable under the present system. Everyone with health insurance is compelled to protect himself from risks, such as alcoholism and erectile dysfunction, that he would willingly shoulder in exchange for a lower premium.

The idea that every life is infinitely precious and therefore everyone deserves the same kind of optimal medical care is a fine religious sentiment and moral ideal. As political and economic policy, it is vainglorious delusion. Rich and educated people not only receive better goods and services in all areas of life than do poor and uneducated people, they also tend to take better care of themselves and their possessions, which in turn leads to better health. The first requirement for better health care for all is not equal health care for everyone but educational and economic advancement for everyone.

Our national conversation about curbing the cost of health care is crippled by the vocabulary in which we conduct it. We must stop talking about "health care" as if it were some kind of collective public service, like fire protection, provided equally to everyone who needs it. No government can provide the same high quality body repair services to everyone. Not all doctors are equally good physicians, and not all sick persons are equally good patients.

If we persevere in our quixotic quest for a fetishized medical equality we will sacrifice personal freedom as its price. We will become the voluntary slaves of a "compassionate" government that will provide the same low quality health care to everyone.

Henry David Thoreau famously remarked, "If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life." Thoreau feared a single, unarmed man approaching him with such a passion in his heart. Too many people now embrace the coercive apparatus of the modern state professing the same design.

Dr. Szasz is emeritus professor of psychiatry at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York. He is author of "The Myth of Mental Illness," among other books (HarperCollins, 1961).

The Week That Was.....7/24/09

What's new this week?

Our President wants Health Care; not, Health Insurance, for All Americans. To quote him, "there is no money"....hhhmmmm........THEN, How do we do this, and afford your proposals, Mr Prez.

Police respond to a 'phoned-in' possible break-in/robbery report, "they acted stupidly" Quoth the Prez......(our Prez knew this man well enuff to know he used a cane..........prejudiced or predisposed??)

Pediatricians make more from Tonsillectomy, then antibiotics........., thus do the surgery first????? I don't know many pediatricians that do surgery....

One trillion dollars, divided by 350million citizens, equals $2,857.142857 per person; Now, if the total debt, not deficit, is 20 to 30 trillion, that includes interest payments (at 30 trillion level) $85,714.28571, for each man, woman, and child. and this doesn't include a second stimulus, or anything additionally on health care, why not just insurance?????? Is anyone out there listening?? A family of 5,$428,571.4285. Just when does our Government reveal itself, as what it is, "of, by, and for"... the GOVERNMENT's power-grab. These figures should scare the "fool" out of ALL of us; BUT, nobody is seeing this, nobody cares, and nobody's voice is heard. Will it be too late, before we see what is going on?
"The end of the world, as we know it, and I'm doing fine........."
FOUND THIS LIST, Source sited, had to post it, too.

1,409 Mistakes to Go

C'mon, he's worse than we even imagined.
Don Surber has this over at the Daily Mail

52 days, 52 mistakes

3. Bill Richardson.
4. Tom Daschle.
5. Eric “Nation of Cowards” Holder.

14. Letting Nancy Pelosi write the $787 billion “stimulus’ plan.
15. Relying on Tim Geithner to explain it.
16. It is a $13-a-week stimulus, or as his wife said of Bush’s plan: “You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.”
17. Going to a press conference without a TelePrompTer. I… Uhh… Umm… Could you repeat the question?
18. Using a TelePrompTer at a press conference. Big boys don’t need training wheels.
19. “Good evening, everybody. Please be seated. Before I take your questions tonight, I’d like to speak briefly.” 1,228 words later he took his first question.
20. Going after Rush Limbaugh.
21. Going after Rick Santelli.
22. Going after Jim Cramer.
23. “Never waste a good crisis.”
24. Obama supporter Warren Buffett: “I don’t think anybody on December 7th would have said a ‘war is a terrible thing to waste, and therefore we’re going to try and ram through a whole bunch of things and — but we expect to — expect the other party to unite behind us on the — on the big problem.’ It’s just a mistake, I think.”
25. Writing a love letter to Vlad and Dmitry.

27. Putting Tibet under the bus.
28. Putting Israel under the bus.

33. “I won.”
34. BlackBerry singing in the middle of the night/ Take these golden secrets and learn to fly…
35. Obama: “If Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.” CEO: No. There will be more layoffs.
36. DVDs to Gordon Brown.
37. “You can’t take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.” Vegas convention bookings nosedive.
38. Wagyu.
39. Reset/overcharge button given to Russia.
40. Taking a 4-day holiday weekend before signing “emergency” legislation.
41. “I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under me that we started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement — the prescription drug plan — without a source of funding. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ’socialist’ around can’t say the same.”
42. Stiffing Chicago for nearly $2 million for that Election Night par-tay.

52. Missing the Gridiron Club dinner.
Got This email, had to share..........

Think about these:

1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
------------------------------------------------------------------------

COWS:


Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track
a single cow, born in Canada almost three year s ago, right
to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington ?
And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are
unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around
our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow...
------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CONSTITUTION


They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was
written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS


The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --
you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not
Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians .... it creates a hostile work environment.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, think about this .... if you don't want to
forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART
OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for America to speak up!


Yep, I passed it on!

I can't believe this was done by a teenager!
There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times.. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos. all angles of the rock.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.









A Letter to Senator Bill Nelson

Sen. Nelson,

First let me thank you for the response emailed to me today, I admit surprise that any of my legislators would even send a "form" back, so thank you. Please don't take this the wrong way, it is time for the government to back off of the current direction, they (you elected officials) have repeatedly proven an inability to control the legislation's costs of the bills you (generic) create. Almost every bill passed is over and above the expenses that should be allotted. The latest bailout, 1 Trillion dollars, plus, ends up costing each American citizen, taxpayer or not, $3000. A family of five, $15000 ( and this is only the beginning of the spending, planned). Wouldn't it be better to stop your (generic) bill passing, and let the dust settle?

These new reforms are only scaring the lending industry more, stopping them from loaning money. Congress' legislation started this whole thing, forcing lenders to loan to unqualified buyers, then the lenders took advantage of law and over-loaned, to unqualified borrowers, then Wall Street bundled, and overvalued these over-lent mortgages as assets. ( The scapegoat, AIG bought them, as did others, and now you (generic) are paying for these assets to several of the purchasers of the assets {sometimes paying for them three or four times, is this fiduciarilly (SP) responsible?}).

This is Government in the way of the people, not of, by, and for, the people. Get out of the way legislatively and let the consuming public bring this back, Government cannot fix this,(as has been repeatedly proven, ie: The Great Depression) time and the people can, and if allowed, will. There is no Constitutional Right not to fail, it is time to allow it to happen.

Thank you for your attention, if........
