WAL-MART VS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

A very good and fascinating read....Some Facts you should be aware of......

1 Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than

Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears +

Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private

employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger

 and Safeway combined, and

keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx. 3,900 stores in the USA of which 2,906 are

Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur

at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

13. Wal-Mart has gross sales that total more than the total revenue of

all the countries in the world, except 6.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground

work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run

Wal-Mart to fix the economy.  This should be read and understood by

all Americans Democrats, Republicans & EVERYONE!!

To the President and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, both parties.

It is now official - you are ALL corrupt morons:

a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 236

years to get it right and it is broke.

b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 76 years to

get it right and it is broke.

c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 73 years to get it right and it is broke.

d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 47 years to get it

right; $1  trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to

"the poor" and they only want more.

e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 46

years to get it right and they are broke.

f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 41 years to get

it right and it is broke.

g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before.

You had 34 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

!!!You have FAILED !!! in every "government service" you have shoved

down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A

GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ??

YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN THE AUTO INDUSTRY.  THE BANKING SYSTEM?????

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND

HIRE WALMART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???

WALMART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.. WHY DON'T YOU GUYS

JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?

Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will

end up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read

anything) and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.

"You can't fix stupid, but you can vote it out!!!"

Bernie Madoff vs Social Security

2011-01-05T18:35:00.000-07:00

Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him by promising a good return in the future for money paid in today.

Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going.

Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this but not enough of you.

Madoff did to his investors what the Federal Government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security.

There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians we put in office to protect our interests but who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions.

Here is Side-by-side comparison - a nifty little chart.

BERNIE MADOFF	SOCIAL SECURITY
Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later.	Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a "Trust Fund" and made available later.
Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts.	Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians use it for general spending and vote buying.
When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors.	When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the geezers.
When Madoff's scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won't give him any more cash.	When Social Security runs out of money they simply force the taxpayers to send them some more.
Bernie Madoff is in jail.	Politicians remain in Washington .

Someone who works for the Federal Government

but doesn't have to take the civil service examination. ' - Ronald Reagan

Remarry?

The older you are and the longer you have been married, the funnier this
                                is.
The wife and I were
                                sitting around the breakfast table one lazy
                                Sunday morning and
I said to her, “If I were
                                to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell
                                all my stuff.”
“Now why would you want me
                                to do something like that?” she
                                asked.
“I figure that you would
                                eventually remarry and I don’t want some other
                                asshole using my stuff.”
She looked at me and said:
                                “What makes you think I’d marry another
                                asshole?”

Australia Understands The Problem

2010-12-08T04:03:00.000-07:00

Australia says NO - Second Time

He's done it again..
He sure isn't backing down on his hard line stance and one has to appreciate his belief in the rights of his native countrymen.
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead.
I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA .

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
This man should be appointed King of the World.. Truer words have never been spoken.

It took a lot of courage for this man to speak what he had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least he was willing to take a stand on his and Australia 's beliefs.
Whole world needs a leader like this!

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..

Separately, Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

It flipped end-over-end bounced off and across the culvert outlet,
and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert,
facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.

The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger

The Downfall Begins - Obama vs The Supreme Court

2010-11-10T00:48:00.000-07:00

Obama May Be In Deep Trouble... Chief Justice John Roberts, U.S. Supreme Court.
According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government,
a smackdown of Barack Obama by the U.S. Supreme Court may be inevitable.

Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues.
Critics have complained that much, if not all of Obama's major initiatives run headlong
into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government.

Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue
of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling
the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads
during the time of an election.

The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Alito,
who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, '
That's not true, 'when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court's ruling.

As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive
and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court,
even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known
Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.

Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, any Conservative
MEDIA.

And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy,
stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.'

Apparently, the Court has had enough. The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner,
it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven.

A ruling against Obama on any one of these issues could potentially cripple the Administration.
Such a thing would be long overdue. First, there is ObamaCare,
which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing
citizens to purchase something. And no, this is not the same thing
as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the intellectually-impaired claim.

The Constitution limits FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things,
and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance
by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle.

In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can 'opt out.' Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history raise questions of his eligibility
for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue.
This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in CT,
while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii.

And that is only the tip of the iceberg. Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity,
conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials,
if not Obama himself. Nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption
of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years.

Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to this Administration.
Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ
suing the state of Arizona. Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave,
given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.

And finally, entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is Obama-Holder Department of Justice
and its refusal to pursue the Panther Party.
The group was caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate
Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls.

A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal
to pursue cases against ethnics, particularly those who are involved in radical h a t e-groups,
who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of people their babies.
Could send the entire Administration crumbling--, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line
in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

A Somber Reminder Of ObamaNation On Election Day

2010-11-01T14:06:00.000-06:00

As you prepare to vote on November 2nd, please refresh your memory on President Obama.

As much as the Democrats & the media would like you think this mid-term election is not a referendum on our 44th President, I assure you, it is!

HERE IS THE OBAMA RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country." Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit..

I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know. How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT.... "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"

If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over.. If you or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them.

High-Level Talks Aim for an End to the Afghan War.

Talks to end the war in Afghanistan involve extensive,
face-to-face discussions with Taliban commanders from the
highest levels of the group's leadership, who are secretly
leaving their sanctuaries in Pakistan with the help of NATO
troops, officials here say.

The discussions, some of which have taken place in Kabul, are
unfolding between the inner circle of President Hamid Karzai
and members of the Quetta shura, the leadership group that
oversees the Taliban war effort inside Afghanistan. Afghan
leaders have also held discussions with leaders of the
Haqqani network, considered to be one of the most hard-line
guerrilla factions fighting here; and members of the Peshawar
shura, whose fighters are based in eastern Afghanistan.

The RINO's Are Getting Ready To Ignore The Tea Party When Elected

2010-10-20T11:04:00.000-06:00

I have told you this before and I will tell you this again. Unless you elect Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Ken Buck, Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Sharron Angle, and Joe Miller, we will never see Obamacare repealed.

Senator Judd Gregg is up today saying that repeal is not recommended.

Sen. Judd Gregg (N.H.), the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said that repealing the new healthcare reform law — or looking to defund it — were not good options.
“I don’t think starving or repealing is probably the best approach here,” Gregg said on the Fox Business Network. “You basically go in and restructure it.”

Here’s the thing — Senate leadership staff will say this is just Judd Gregg, who is retiring, and not reflective of the Senate GOP leadership. There is a problem though.

In the past several weeks, there have been several closed door, off the record meetings of high dollar donors getting briefings from various elected officials, including several Senators. In each case the donors have been “reassured” by the Senators present that they have no intention of repealing Obamacare, just restructuring it.

The Senators seemed to think the high dollar donors were not kooks like those tea party activists and would understand the practical need to just “restructure” instead of “repeal.” Unfortunately, the Senators have badly misread the donors.

In any event, you can be sure that Judd Gregg is not speaking out of turn and is not a lone wolf on this issue. His view reflects that of the Senate GOP leadership despite their protestations to the contrary.

Again, if you haven’t sent money to Joe Miller, Sharron Angle, Ken Buck, Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio, you better. Repeal of Obamacare depends on them.

UPDATED: It is worth noting that neither Mitch McConnell nor Lamar Alexander have signed on as co-sponsors to Jim DeMint’s legislation that would repeal Obamacare.

Feeling sorely underfunded, Christine O’Donnell has warned the GOP she has a secret weapon: She says she’s “got Sean Hannity in my back pocket, and I can go on his show and raise money by attacking you guys,” top Republicans tell Howard Fineman of the Huffington Post. She’s already making good on that promise, having appeared on Hannity’s radio show yesterday with harsh words for party leaders.

She slammed the National Republican Senatorial Committee for not putting cash into her race beyond the standard $43,000. Hannity took up her cause, calling out GOP bosses for a lack of endorsements and funding. But some party insiders question what Fineman dubs a “woe-is-me campaign strategy.” Asks one: “Why would you tell the world that no one in the party likes you?” Fineman sees it as a winning, if not admirable, strategy. If O'Donnell "can raise enough money by attacking the Bigs with Hannity's help, perhaps she can close the gap in the polls—and then the DC folks will fork over."

FIRST LADY CAMPAIGNS INSIDE POLLING PLACE Thu Oct 14 2010 16:19:25 ET First lady Michelle Obama appears to have violated Illinois law -- when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place! The drama began after Mrs. Obama stopped off at the Martin Luther King Center on the south side of Chicago to cast an early vote. After finishing at the machine, Obama went back to the desk and handed in her voting key. She let voters including electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, take some photos. "She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband's agenda going," Campbell said. According to a pool reporter from the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES at the scene, the conversation took place INSIDE the voting center, not far from the booths. Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place [or] within 100 feet of any polling place." A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT that Mrs. Obama -- a Harvard-educated lawyer -- may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally. "You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?" the official explained late Thursday. "I mean, she's pretty well liked and probably doesn't know what she's doing." WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS ELECTIONEERING When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. Obama's campaigning, press secretary Robert Gibbs defended the action. "I don't think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband's agenda," Gibbs smiled. Developing...

Matthews: Chilean Miners Would Be Dead if They Followed Tea Party's 'Every Man for Himself' Philosophy

View the Video Here

Leave it to Chris Matthews to shoe-horn in a crass political point against the Tea Party, even in the midst of a heartwarming story like the rescue of the Chilean miners. On Wednesday's Hardball, the MSNBC host, along with his guest Richard Trumka, president of the AFL/CIO, claimed those miners would never have survived if they had followed the "every man for himself" philosophy of the Tea Party crowd.

After Trumka initially recounted his joy at watching the miners being rescued, he quickly veered into his standard rhetoric of the need for more regulation. Matthews then picked up on Trumka's cue to launch into an attack on the Tea Party, as he distorted their limited government view as one of total anarchy that would mean "no more government, no more everything," as seen in the following exchange:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Okay let's talk about what the...message to a lot of the people was. The message coming out of the Tea Party people, and lot of them are good people, is every man for himself, basically. "No more taxes, no more government, no more everything. No more safety net. No more health care for everybody. Everybody just get out there, make your buck, save it, screw the government, move on." Right?

RICHARD TRUMKA: Yeah.

MATTHEWS: You know these people, if they were every man for himself down in that mine they wouldn't have gotten out.

TRUMKA: That's exactly right.

MATTHEWS: They would have been killing each other after about two days. This is a story of how people can work together, the people who were down there for two months. The people who were above ground from all over the world, using state of the art equipment not to get rid of the need for manpower but to save manpower in this case.

TRUMKA: You know this is just another example of how radical the Republican Party is becoming, do away with the minimum wage. You just talked about that. Bad policy, it will wreck the economy. If you didn't have government regulation, you wouldn't have clean water, you wouldn't have cars that were safe, you wouldn't have electricity that you could afford, I mean, just a number of things where you need a good, efficient government and they just throw all that aside.

The following is a more complete transcript of the exchange that was aired on the October 13 edition of Hardball:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Joining me right now is an old pal of the show, the AFL/CIO president Richard Trumka. I want to get to, because this guy worked down in a mine, about half mile down. You know what it was like. By the way you let's start with that because it's very human interest. We haven't talked about it tonight, but it is thrilling to watch those guys. You were there at the Chilean embassy.

RICHARD TRUMKA: I was, when they were bringing out the first miners out and I can tell ya, they were like our brothers. And it was almost like I hit the lottery. There was this feeling of elation because the Earth doesn't normally give up a live body after that, being trapped underground that long. This one, when the first miner came out it was like, it was just like my brother or my uncle or my dad or anybody coming out. It was just such a win for us.

But, but it brings up two other issues I think you have to look at it, Chris. One we're very, very elated that these miners are safe. Second of all we have to thank the rescue workers that got them there and third, it's the lack of health and safety in the mines of the world, doesn't know boundaries, because you have to have good laws that are - and you have to have the people with the will to enforce them and the resources to get it done and we don't have that in the mining industry.

MATTHEWS: I got another elation out of it. I've never been a miner like you, we were just talking about claustrophobia off - which I think I would probably have down there, because you said some guys are susceptible to it. You are third generation of working down in the deep mines.

TRUMKA: Correct.

MATTHEWS: Okay let's talk about what the, the, the sort of the, the message to a lot of the people was. The message coming out of the Tea Party people, and lot of them are good people, is every man for himself, basically. "No more taxes, no more government, no more everything. No more safety net. No more health care for everybody. Everybody just get out there, make your buck, save it, screw the government, move on." Right?

TRUMKA: Yeah.

MATTHEWS: You know these people, if they were every man for himself down in that mine they wouldn't have gotten out.

TRUMKA: That's exactly right.

MATTHEWS: They would have been killing each other after about two days. This is a story of how people can work together, the people who were down there for two months. The people who were above ground from all over the world, using state of the art equipment not to get rid of the need for manpower but to save manpower in this case.

TRUMKA: You know this is just another example of how radical the Republican Party is becoming, do away with the minimum wage. You just talked about that. Bad policy, it will wreck the economy. If you didn't have government regulation, you wouldn't have clean water, you wouldn't have cars that were safe, you wouldn't have electricity that you could afford, I mean, just a number of things where you need a good, efficient government and they just throw all that aside.

MATTHEWS: Well why do people buy the rhetoric?

TRUMKA: I don't think they do buy t.

MATTHEWS: They say, "Get rid of all regulation, get rid of taxes, get rid of government." And, yet when they buy it. I always like this. We're Catholic, on Friday, we always had tuna fish, right? And, and you open up the can, you want to know that somebody besides the guy making buck off of it, made sure it was clean, it wasn't ptomaine in there.

TRUMKA: Absolutely.

MATTHEWS: When you get up in an airplane I want to know there's some kind of an FAA that's looking at regulation or safety. I want to know there's somebody besides making the buck. Doesn't everybody have that, when it comes to them? They believe in government?

TRUMKA: See I think what they try to sell is every person should do that for themselves. And no one, no worker has the wherewithal to do that. If you are rich, you might be able to taste, buy somebody or have somebody taste your food for you, but they can't afford, I couldn't afford to make sure my planes are safe, that I'm properly regulated, my drinking water is safe, that the food is safe that we do. That the automobiles that we drive have been improved year after year to protect health and safety.

Obama...What a Joke!

THE LAWYER OBAMA, WHAT A JOKE

[Ed. note on the Ed. note: this is from a former Chicago lawyer now practicing law in Tyler , TX ]

[Ed. note: This is legit. I checked it out myself at

https://www.iardc.org/ardcroll.asp

Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois ; and they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony!) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn.]

Big surprise !!!

Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and US President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During 'State Of The Union ' Address.

Consider this:

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.

A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.

2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.

3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

4. A senior lecturer is one thing. A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .

5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

6. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence . not the Constitution.

8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/ ;

9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal..

10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???

When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight. The only ones that haven't seen through this clown and the band of idiots that surrounds him are those that are fleecing this Country for all it's worth. I hope and pray that common sense will prevail in the next election or this great Nation is finished!

Lessons For The Young

2010-09-15T07:00:00.000-06:00

At the saloon...

An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule, and headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat. He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to."

A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now." and started shooting at the old man's feet.

The old prospector --not wanting to get a toe blown off-- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.

The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.

The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's butt?"

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I've always wanted to."

Some lessons here for all of us :

Never be arrogant.

Don't waste ammunition.

Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.

Always, always make sure you know who has the power.

Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.

The Timeless Julie Andrews

2010-09-10T05:40:00.001-06:00

This October 1, 2010…Julie will be 75 yrs old.
45 yrs. later - Julie Andrews & 7 children
Make sure you scroll to the end and read the lyrics (new) for the song “These Are My Favorite Things”.
Can it possibly be that many years ago!

They were having a reunion after 40 years
and all were looking healthy and amazingly well...

Enjoy reading this.
Make sure you read the new lyrics to the original song below:
Remember the 7 children of the Von Trapp family?
The Sound of Music' won the Academy Award for
Best Picture of 1965 and is one of the most popular
musicals ever produced.
40 Yrs Later: The 7 Children in 'The Sound of Music'.

CURRENTLY.....

It wouldn't be funny if it weren't so true... Julie Andrews turned 69 and to commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favourite Things" from the legendary movie "The Sound Of Music."
Here are the actual lyrics she used:
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.

Cadillac's and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things..

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humour with others who would appreciate it.

Secret For Speedy Service At Public Offices & Events

2010-09-07T08:30:00.001-06:00

The other day I needed to go to the emergency room. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my GREEN HAT that I got from Newsmax when I had subscribed to the magazine.

When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time. Here's the hat. Try it the next time you're in need of quicker emergency service.

It also works at DMV. It saved me 5 hours.

At the Laundromat, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running.

Don't try it at McDonald's though. The whole crew got up and left and l never got my order.

Sometimes Things Are More Clear From The Outside Looking In

2010-09-02T13:58:00.000-06:00

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can
understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone
over there has it figured out.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier
to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore
the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate
willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much
deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of
what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind
anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a
fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those
who made him their president."

40l(k)/IRA Nationalization Quietly Moves Forward

“The U.S. Treasury and Labor Departments will ask for public comment as soon as next week on ways to promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams, according to Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary Mark Iwry, who are spearheading the effort.”

They want to "get” people to invest their 401k’s and IRA’s into annuities, or likely into U.S. T-Bonds, which are in the biggest overvalued bubble the world has ever seen.

They are doing this because they will have $2 Trillion Dollars in bonds to sell this year, and foreign buying is drying up. China doesn't want them.... Do you?

Who's behind it?

The White House and a powerful network of Congressional activists, and The highly-influential Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. They are engineering a new regulatory and tax-incentive. The purpose is to herd and ultimately force Americans to convert their 40l(k)s and IRAs into government-directed retirement accounts.

The 40l(k)/IRA de-privatization plan is the brain-child of Teresa Ghilarducci (Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis – SCEPA), who is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The extreme tactics used to ram nationalized health care down the country's throat are a blueprint for what could be the biggest asset grab in history.

This is exactly what took place in Argentina. Yes, Argentina was once a powerful nation; the 3rd wealthiest nation until the 20th Century.

Another reason as to why our government needs to nationalize retirement accounts...

Is reported by the New York Times, "This year, the system will pay out more in benefits than it receives in payroll taxes, this important threshold was not expected to cross until at least 2016, according to the Congressional Budget Office." The trickle of red ink will soon become a flood under the pressure of 78 million retiring Baby Boomers.... Less money going into the system!

MICHAEL GRUNWALD MAKES A MUCH BETTER CASE FOR THE STIMULUS THAN THE SAVED/CREATED CONTORTIONS

2010-08-26T09:11:00.000-06:00

TIME magazine - “How the Stimulus Is Changing America: Voters hate it. Hardly anyone wants credit for it. But the $787 billion stimulus is quietly changing the way Americans work, move, innovate and plug in”: “[I]n the words of Vice President Joe Biden, Obama's effusive Recovery Act point man, 'Now the fun stuff starts!' The 'fun stuff,' about one-sixth of the total cost, is an all-out effort to exploit the crisis to make green energy, green building and green transportation real; launch green manufacturing industries; computerize a pen-and-paper health system; promote data-driven school reforms; and ramp up the research of the future. 'This is a chance to do something big, man!' Biden said during a 90-minute interview with TIME. For starters, the Recovery Act is the most ambitious energy legislation in history, converting the Energy Department into the world's largest venture-capital fund. It's pouring $90 billion into clean energy, including unprecedented investments in a smart grid; energy efficiency; electric cars; renewable power from the sun, wind and earth; cleaner coal; advanced biofuels; and factories to manufacture green stuff in the U.S.” http://bit.ly/dgKgux

Amazing Idiots

Being Led By Imbeciles

"This folks, is why this country is big trouble!"
Maybe we should ask our soldiers to "police their brass" while they are being shot at, might improve the environment.
Poster-child for what is wrong in Washington , DC

You will simply not believe this. Our 8th District US Congressional representative, the Hon. Gabrielle Giffords (Democrat), in a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee, asked General David Petraeus the following question:
"General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war on terror?"

Wow. I had to read, and re-read this several times to believe it. Folks, there are American sons and daughters dying every week on the foreign battlefields of southwest Asia . The nation is completely bankrupt and ... quite literally, borrowing 43 cents for every dollar in federal spending. We have the largest environmental disaster in the nation's history in the Gulf of Mexico , and we have Mexican drug armies invading our nation. And yet ....

A sitting member of Congress from Arizona 's 8th congressional district took the time to ask our battlefield commander what he is doing to curb carbon emissions in the war.

Gabrielle Giffords is the poster-child for what is wrong with the US Congress. We are being led by imbeciles. To the rest of America reading this blog, and to Gen. Petraeus if this e-mail makes it to your inbox ... my sincerest apologies for the stupid question asked of you by my US congressional representative.

General ... I am sure you have better things to worry about than carbon emissions on the battlefield. I assure you, as a registered voter in Arizona 's 8th congressional district, I will do everything I can to ensure Rep. Giffords is voted out of office in November, and I pray you'll get back to business of fighting the war on terror without worrying about such petty and nonsensical matters as your carbon footprint in the war.

Mark Beres, Maj. USAF (ret.)
Tucson, Arizona
FYI: The 8th District surrounds Tucson to the north, south and east ( Tucson is in the 7th District) and covers the south-east corner of AZ.

What Google says about Rep. Giffords:
Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) took Afghan Commander, General David Petraeus, to task for what she characterized as willful disregard of the environmental impact of our war effort. There is no policy, no plan to minimize carbon emissions in our military activities, Giffords charged. Bombs are dropped and bullets are fired without considering the environmental impact. Giffords insisted that she was not demanding an immediate halt to current military operations in the Middle East, "I'm just saying battle plans should include an environmental impact assessment as a regular part of the process before attacks are launched."

She also suggested that the Army put more emphasis on less environmentally damaging methods, like stabbing or clubbing enemy forces in order to minimize the carbon output.

New Rules of Engagement:
I think we ought to put her on the front lines so she can stab or club the enemy. God help us if this is the type of idiots that are continuously elected to office. Walk softly and carry a big knife or big stick to save the environment.

ps. Al Gore is a dick.

According to The Trustees for the Social Security Administration,
" THERE WILL NOT BE A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

They, the Congress (BOTH "REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS TOGETHER") say no increase is warranted because of the losses

in gross national product and other cute things..
NOW SPORTS FANS
THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL FLIP YOU OUT!!
Keep Reading
THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IS FUNDING TWENTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS-- LET ME REPEAT THAT AMOUNT...
SO YOU UNDERSTAND IT $ 24,000,000.00 DOLLARS FOR NEW ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS PROCESSING FOR OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS !!

THEY ARE OBTAINING THESE FUNDS
And
I QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY WEBSITE...
"THIS MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM THE SAVINGS TO BE GENERATED
FROM WITHHOLDING "COST OF LIVING INCREASES FOR 2010 & 2011
In SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR THE ELDERLY
AND A $2.00 INCREASE ON ALL MEDICARE RX BENEFIT CO-PAY"

Please pass this to ALL your friends and have them
"PROTEST TO THE IDIOTS WE ELECTED TO CONGRESS"
Who by the way, have just voted themselves ANOTHER 3% SALARY INCREASE!!!

We must put a stop to this outright thievery!
It is THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS,
WE CAN'T FIRE THEM, BUT WE SURE CAN NOT RE-ELECT THEM,
And WE CAN IMPEACH THEMOr DEMAND RECALL ELECTIONS !!!
HOW ABOUT WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND DUMP THESE CLOWNS.

All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here..

The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt.
And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties.
I realize that a few Members of each House are trustworthy,
But,
As a group they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch
To ever disgrace our Nation.In November of 2010
The entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election;
All 435 of them.
One third of the Senate,
A total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election.
Vote every incumbent out.
And I mean every one of them.
No matter their Party affiliation.
Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people
Who have absolutely no experience in running that body,
With no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents.
Let's make them understand that they work for us...
They are answerable to us
And they simply have to run that body with some common sense.. Two years later, in 2012,
Vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out.
We can do the same thing in 2014 and,
By that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.

We, the People,
Have got to take this Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully.
That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.
I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH
8 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES AND 12 YEARS FOR SENATORS.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET
AND THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED.

WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT -
NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS..

When he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade, people said it didn't matter.

When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State , people finally woke up--- but it was too late. Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.

All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an internet search.

The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America?

If you are an Obama Supporter don't be angry with me because I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a socialist. Far too many facts support he is indeed a Socialist.

If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth - Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free republic. Yes, this nation was founded as a REPUBLIC (nation of laws) not a democracy. The Founders knew a democracy would fail.

Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC.

The goverment will not help us, so we need to do it ourselves.

Question....will you ignore this, or pass it on to others who don't know about Obama’s actions and plans for the USA, so that they may know how to vote in November, and the ensuing years?

It's your decision.

The Lord detests lying lips but delights in men who are truthful (Pr. 12:22).

Help Take The Senate From The Liberals

Below please find a special message from one of our advertisers, Our Country Deserves Better PAC. From time to time, we receive opportunities we believe you as a valued customer may want to know about. Please note that the following message reflects the opinions and representations of our advertiser alone, and not necessarily the opinion or editorial positions of Human Events or Eagle Publishing.

A brand new poll by RT Nielson research shows that the critical U.S. Senate race between Conservative Republican Joe Miller and Liberal incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski has dramatically tightened as the conservative candidate, Joe Miller, has gained 25% on his rival.
Three weeks ago this race looked to be a lock for Sen. Murkowski as she led 62%-24%. Now that margin is down to 46.91%-35.39%. Murkowski is below the critical 50% threshold an incumbent needs for re-election and she is continuing to drop.
This race takes place in just 4 days - and we have a chance for a shocking historic victory for the tea party movement and the constitutionalist conservative candidate, Joe Miller. This election is VITAL to stopping the Democrats from maintaining control of the Senate - right now they can use Democrat votes plus those of Liberal Republicans such as Murkowski, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe to hold power. If Murkowski loses that all changes.
We've launched a $150,000 MoneyBomb to buy every remaining TV ad, radio ad and newspaper ad we can to win this election and we urgently need your help.
We need you to please make the most generous contribution you can afford to support this effort - HERE.
If you can afford a contribution of $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or more it will be extremely helpful.
To fully fund this effort we still need at least 250 conservatives from across America to donate $500 or more within the next 72 hours. Make a contribution online - HERE.

Stop The Islamic Infiltration Of America

Islamist Infiltration: A Threat to Our Survival
Editor's Note: With the growing controversy surrounding the proposed Mosque at Ground Zero we felt this article, featured in the May issue of Townhall Magazine, should be revisited.

America is under attack from within.

If you're like most Americans, you're likely unfamiliar with the Muslim Brotherhood--their history and their agenda.

Our fellow citizens need to know that the Muslim Brotherhood is leading the way for radical Muslims to infiltrate American society and government. Their goal is simple: control the United States and impose Shariah law.

Don't think this is a realistic threat? Well, they've already started.

Here's an excerpt from "Islamist Infiltration":

[M]any serious observers of America’s war with militant Islam see reasons for alarm. A case in point—the Fort Hood Massacre. It was shocking enough to learn that the American domestic military establishment cannot even protect its own troops inside the United States. But what seemed even more shocking was the fact that the country’s most senior Army officer, Gen. George Casey, publicly stated that the attack caused him to be more worried about harm to the military’s diversity than the disgrace that failed to prevent such an appalling waste of lives.

Many fear our superpower status is rapidly ebbing away and, shockingly, at the behest of our own government. … Given the escalating Islamic threat, it seems appropriate to ask: Why is this diminution of American power happening? Are there Islamic jihadists influencing our government? Who are the jihadists influencing? What have they accomplished? And what is their end game?

In the mid-20th century, the Brotherhood began its campaign to infiltrate and impact the direction of the United States.

During the 1960s, the Brotherhood began sending vast numbers of students to American universities.

In 1973, with massive Saudi funding, they formed the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), an investment vehicle that enabled them to acquire 300 mosques and schools in the United States.

In 1987, Hamas, the Palestinian wing of the Brothers with the stated goal of destroying Israel, was founded and largely funded by American Muslims.

In 1990, the Brotherhood formed the American Muslim Council (AMC) with Abdurahman Alamoudi as its boss and the new capo di tutti of the entire syndicate.

Then in 1994, the Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR) was founded.

In 1980, there were 481 officially recognized Mosques in the United States. Today, there are 1,209, with an estimated 80 percent of those funded and controlled by Saudi Arabia, where the official religion is virulently anti-Western Wahhabi Islam.

Paul Sperry and David Gaubatz’s book “Muslim Mafia” exposes the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities in America using declassified FBI documents, FBI agent interviews, transcripts of telephone wire taps and thousands of internal documents smuggled out of CAIR headquarters by Gaubatz’s son, Chris Gaubatz, who posed as an American convert to Islam and was hired by CAIR. They demonstrate that the Brotherhood is now a worldwide central clearinghouse for virtually all Sunni terrorist groups, is operating inside U.S. mosques across the country and is in complete control of CAIR and its myriad subsidiaries.

And while the House of Saud attempts to portray itself as a loyal U.S. trading partner, the authors prove that it is actually financing and partnering with the Brotherhood, that it is actively undermining our national security, and that it controls CAIR and at least 46 other supposedly moderate Muslim front groups in the United States, along with countless other subsidiary shell companies. And for the first time, they expose the Brotherhood’s five-phase plan for dominating America:
• Phase I: Establish an elite Muslim Leadership and raise Islamicist consciousness in the community;
• Phase II: Create Islamic institutions that the leadership can control and form autonomous Muslim enclaves;
• Phase III: Infiltrate America’s political and social institutions forming a shadow state; escalate conversions; manipulate mass media to remove language offensive to Islam;
• Phase IV: Open hostile public confrontation over U.S. policies, riot, make militant demands for special rights and accommodations;
• Phase V: Wage final conflict and overthrow (jihad).

According to Sperry and Gaubatz, the consensus among counterterrorism officials is that the North American Brotherhood is already in Phase III.

Want to find out who some of the Muslim Brotherhood players are who have successfully gained access to the highest levels of our government?

Oprah Goes Where Angels Fear To Tread

2010-08-19T16:26:00.000-06:00

Rosie O'Donnell is joining Oprah Winfrey's family. The six-time Daytime Emmy-winning talk-show host is returning to her roots after a stab at a prime-time variety show and a tempestuous — but high-rated — stint on The View. O'Donnell, whose last TV project was the HBO special A Family Is a Family Is a Family, will launch a daily talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011.

Winfrey tells TV Guide Magazine exclusively that she "reached out to Rosie, went to her house, sat at her table and had a conversation about partnering. I always thought that she was one of the best television talents in terms of being authentic and real and fun and presenting her genuine self."

The hour long, New York-based chat show, described as "fun and uplifting, with Ms. O'Donnell's playful and energetic style," will be more reminiscent of O'Donnell's Broadway-loving syndicated The Rosie O'Donnell Show than her politically charged View work. OWN, backed by Winfrey and Discovery Communications, premieres January 1.

Let's hope Oprah can clean her up a bit. Barbara Walters couldn't.
