Unemployment Concerns and one Solution

•November 8, 2008 • Leave a Comment

If you are watching the news regularly as I am, then you know the jobless rate in America is up and has become a “critical factor” along with our other woes! I have a suggestion which is also a suggestion.

“Deport all the illegal aliens in America who are working here illegally!” These aliens are willing to work for substandard pay and with no benefits. Their impact isn’t just felt in the job market. If I go to the grocery store, the laundry mat, the local gas “marts,” or department stores,  I have to compete with massive numbers of illegals. Most speak little or no English. If the service provider hasn’t done as most now do and hired bi-lingual employees, you are going to often have long waits at the service counter. A two hour laundry trip now lasts up to an hour or longer. Then there is no guarantee the newly freed machine will work. Trash is all over the place, kids are running around in the way, groups of men stand around drinking or doping, there is no place to park!

In my neighborhood, which is not a high income area, small businessmen and women can barely stay afloat due to being constantly under bid by businesses run by Hispanics, especially construction. The men can’t find work because illegals are being hired in their stead because they work for lower wages and no benefits.

Richmond, like so many cities, has become a “Mecca” for illegals from Mexico and Central America. Crime is a problem. There have been a number of deaths due to drunken illegal drivers. Apartments and rental properties are hard to find because illegals are renting the properties. It is often the norm that ten to twenty people  live in property designed to inhabit a single family of four or less. Even garages are being converted to quasi homes for upwards to ten or more people. These have no running water or power.

Many will read this and say I am prejudice. Sorry, my kids dad is a naturalized man from El Salvador. He feels the same way I did. During a recent war protest, he made the comment to one of my kids that “these people ought to be sent home because they drag the American flag on the ground and fly flags flown by America’s enemies!” He felt they did not want to contribute to the betterment of America or embrace it as their new home. It was a source of money to be sent back home!

While I realize this is not true of all illegals, the numbers who do hate America is staggering. You can thank ANSWER, UFPJ, and IAC to name a few groups, for these people. So, let’s finally “really” address the illegal alien problem. Let’s free up jobs for those in America who are citizens who want a job but can’t find one!

Who is supporting John McCain Besiders me? Why?

I SUPPORT JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

I don’t even see a contest between McCain and Obama. If for no other reason than Obama would pull the troops out of Iraq and facilitate a repeat of the Vietnam Experience – pulling out the troops when the battle is being won and declaring defeat! As a Vietnam Era veteran of the USMC, I know how the troops felt when victory was stolen from their grasp and they were handed a humiliating defeat by Ted Kennedy and his socialist cronies in the 60’s. I also remember how many Vietnamese and Cambodians died after we left and then Teddy and Congress cut off all aide to them!

Obama still can’t acknowledge that the surge worked in Iraq and both American Troops and the Iraqi people, their troops and police force are winning against the terrorists and foreign sponsored insurgents. Were mistakes made. Of course! This is a war. Mistakes are made. Innocents are sadly often killed by either side. But, the difference is the insurgents and terrorists weren’t killing accidentally killing their own people. They purposefully killed innocents and used them as shields.

In every aspect, Iraq is turning the corner and beginning to take on more and more of the defense of their nation. What really impresses me is the rebuilding of local Iraqi industry and infrastructure by Iraqis.

John McCain knows what is at stake. He will make the right choices with regard to our continued roll in Iraq. He will bring our troops home. But, he will bring them home as victors.

But, as I listen to John McCain’s speeches, I realize he knows what is at stake if Obama and the extreme left gain control of the White House. I do not always agree with all of John’s views or decisions. Nor do I expect to. I haven’t always agreed with President Bush. But both have America’s welfare as their primary goal. They both understand about protecting our nation from enemies at home and abroad! I believe history will be kinder to President Bush than the leftist, Congress controlled by the Democrats, some white flag Republicans, and many Americans have been.

But the torch is now ready to be passed on to other leadership! The key word here is leadership. John McCain is that man. He is right that raising taxes will have terrible consequences. But, if Obama is elected, the economy will be the least of our worries! Attacks on us by our enemies which we will be too weakened defensively to repel are a given under Obama’s leadership. The systematic destruction of our Democracy and the elimination of our Constitutional rights will bring about the fall of our nation if Obama gets elected. If I wanted to live in a totalitarian, socialist, Marxist, or communist nation, I would move to Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela or some other like place!!

These are my views and opinions. Why are you for McCain?

Below is a post from one of my previous posts I just wrote where Denny expressed his views about why he is voting for McCain. What about you? Why are you for McCain?

ts
Barack Hussen Obama, the charlatan candidate of the Ayers, Dorhn, Wright, Farrakhan, Pfleger, Khalidi, Rezco et al radical left in America.

Keep going strong for McCain in these last days! Internal GOP polls shows McCain coming on strong in Blue States!

BTW, I have already voted here in Northern California for John McCain. Me and my children stand and wave U.S. flags, YES ON ballot 8 for traditional marriage, and McCain-Palin signs for a few minutes almost every day. Many people here in Northern California (I think it may have been 87% in my county that voted for Mr. Bush Jr.) are honking their horns, waving and giving us the thumb up sign. It is very encouraging.

It’s like GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner said, don’t EVER give up!

If YOU and I show enthusiam, people will take notice and respond.

Many people fail to understand that when a person takes some kind of stand, people are forced to react to that stand, whether one way or another. But if no stand at all is percieved, then momentum is maintained for the particular prevailing flow, whatever it is.

Take as an example me and my kid’s enthusiam shown through our willingness to publically and happily encourage others about our belief about the presidential election and the prop issue. Since many hundreds of people have seen us, many may become encouraged enough to talk to one or more people about it, with some possibly getting pro-McCain signs or putting a McCain bumper sticker on their vehicle. These reactions can cause still other reactions, which cause still other reactions, and so forth and so on.

Some people who might not otherwise vote could decide to not only vote, but get someone else to vote with them. Some people who were going to vote for Obama now may either vote for Mr. McCain, someone other than Obama for President, or not vote for President. Some people who were going to put an Obama sticker on their vehicle or other item may change their minds, while other Obama supporters who were enthusiastic, may tone down their support for Obama, causing more reactions.

This is how Movements are born, things get changed, and how Mr. McCain can become President of the United States.

All hands on deck and man the stations for battle! Sound the alarm and STAND UP FOR JOHN McCAIN!
John McCain spent 22 years – five and one half as a POW – in service to his beloved country in the military. He stood up for America and is an American HERO!

Stand UP! for a great American hero and a corruption-fighting Governor of reform!

Stand UP! and be counted with those that stand up for truth, America and a reformed Washington DC!

Let their be no mistake as to whose side you are on, and wear your McCain button on your clothing to show your support for what is good for our country.

McCain-Palin<——-don’t hang around foreign OR domestic terrorists, racists, antisemites or crinimal slum lords, or want to shove a $1,000,000,000,000 dollar risky, socialist, welfare redistrubution plan on an economy in recession, causing it to fall into a deep DEPRESSION!

Vote for John McCain for President of the United States!

•November 1, 2008 • 3 Comments

The home stretch is here. We really need to pass the word and motivate McCain supporters nationwide to do all they can on their blogs to help get McCain elected. Show your support on your blog. Go to McCain’s website, John McCain.com and there is a link to donate money to help McCain get the money he needs to carry his campaign through to election day! Also there is a link to send emails to friends to encourage them to vote for McCain and have them likewise send out emails themselves to drum up more voters for McCain.

Here’s one of John McCain’s speeches from today:

“Remarks by John McCain in Columbus, OH “

October 31, 2008

ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today will deliver the following remarks as prepared for delivery at the McCain-Palin 2008 rally in Columbus, OH, at 5:45 p.m. ET:

Thank you Arnold! Thank you Ohio! We need to win Ohio on November 4th, and with your help — we’re going to win here, and bring real change to Washington. We need a new direction, and we have to fight for it.

I’ve been fighting for this country since I was seventeen years old, and I have the scars to prove it. My country has never had to prove anything to me. I have always had faith in it. If I’m elected President, I will fight to shake up Washington and take America in a new direction from my first day in office until my last. I’m not afraid of the fight, I’m ready for it.

I have a plan to hold the line on taxes and cut them to make America more competitive and create jobs here at home. We’re going to double the child deduction for working families. We will cut the capital gains tax. And we will cut business taxes to help create jobs, and keep American businesses in America. Raising taxes makes a bad economy much worse. Keeping taxes low creates jobs, keeps money in your hands and strengthens our economy.

If I’m elected President, I won’t spend nearly a trillion dollars more of your money. Senator Obama will. And he can’t do that without raising your taxes or digging us further into debt. I’m going to make government live on a budget just like you do.

I will freeze government spending on all but the most important programs like defense, veterans care, Social Security and health care until we scrub every single government program and get rid of the ones that aren’t working for the American people. And I will veto every single pork barrel bill Congresses passes.

I’m not going to spend 750 billion dollars of your money just bailing out the Wall Street bankers and brokers who got us into this mess. Senator Obama will. I’m going to make sure we take care of the working people who were devastated by the excesses of Wall Street and Washington.

I have a plan to fix our housing market, so that your home value doesn’t go down when your neighbor defaults, and so that people in danger of defaulting have a way to stay in their home. That’s the American dream and I’m going to protect it.

If I’m elected President, we’re going to stop spending 700 billion dollars to buy oil from countries that don’t like us very much. Senator Obama is eloquent, but listen carefully to his words: he says he will consider drilling offshore. When I am president, we will drill offshore, and we will drill now. We will invest in all energy alternatives — wind, solar, tide and safe nuclear power. We will encourage the manufacture of hybrid, flex fuel and electric automobiles. We will invest in clean coal technology. We will lower the cost of energy within months, and we will create millions of new jobs.

We’ve learned more about Senator Obama’s real goals for our country over the last two weeks than we learned over the past two years, and that is only because Joe the plumber asked him a question right here in Ohio. That’s when Senator Obama revealed he wants to quote “spread the wealth around.”

Now, Joe didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house, and he didn’t ask to be famous. He certainly didn’t ask for the political attacks on him from the Obama campaign. Joe’s dream is to own a small business that will create jobs, and the attacks on him are an attack on small businesses all over the country. Small businesses employ 84 percent of Americans, and we need to support these small businesses. Taxing small businesses will kill jobs. We can’t let that happen.

Senator Obama is running to be Redistributionist in Chief. I’m running to be Commander in Chief. Senator Obama is running to spread the wealth. I’m running to create more wealth. Senator Obama is running to punish the successful. I’m running to make everyone successful.

Senator Obama has made a lot of promises. First he said people making less than 250,000 dollars would benefit from his plan, then this weekend he announced in an ad that if you’re a family making less than 200,000 dollars you’ll benefit — but this week, Senator Biden said tax relief should only go to “middle class people — people making under 150,000 dollars a year.” Just today, Bill Richardson said it applied to families making 120,000 dollars a year. It’s interesting how their definition of rich has a way of creeping down. Senator Obama voted 94 times for tax increases or against tax cuts. At this rate, it won’t be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote that Americans making just 42,000 dollars a year should get a tax increase. I’m not going to let that happen.

Now he’s saying that if you don’t want to pay higher taxes you’re quote “selfish.” You see, he views higher taxes not in economic terms, but in moral terms. It doesn’t matter to him that higher taxes will hurt our economy and kill jobs; he believes the government has a moral claim on your hard earned dollars. I’m not going to let him kill jobs and send our economy into a tailspin with higher taxes. I’m going to cut taxes and create jobs.

Thanks to Speaker Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barney Frank we know this Democratic Congress is planning all sorts of new taxes. This week, we are hearing they want to tax your 401k contributions. This is a time when we need to encourage more investing, not tax it. We need to protect people’s retirement, not endanger it. Every four years, the Democrats try to scare seniors over Social Security and Medicare. I’m going to protect Social Security. I’m going to protect Medicare. I’m not going to let this Congress tax away your retirement savings.

My opponent’s massive new tax increase is exactly the wrong approach in an economic slowdown. The answer to a slowing economy is not higher taxes, but that is exactly what is going to happen when the Democrats have total control of Washington. We can’t let that happen. We need pro-growth and pro-jobs economic policies, not pro-government spending programs paid for with higher taxes.

This is the fundamental difference between Senator Obama and me. We both disagree with President Bush on economic policy. The difference is that he thinks taxes have been too low, and I think that spending has been too high.

If we are going to change Washington, we need a President who has actually fought for change and made it happen. The next President won’t have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home, and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world.

Senator Biden warned that Senator Obama would be tested with an international crisis. I have been tested. Senator Obama hasn’t. Senator Biden referred to how Jack Kennedy was tested in the Cuban Missile Crisis and I have a little personal experience in that. I was on board the U.S.S. Enterprise, and I sat in a cockpit on the flight deck waiting to take off. We had a target. I know how close we came to a nuclear war and I will not be a president who needs to be tested.

We know Senator Obama won’t have the right response to that test, because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign. He opposed the surge strategy that is bringing us victory in Iraq and will bring us victory in Afghanistan. He said he would sit down unconditionally with the world’s worst dictators. When Russia invaded Georgia, Sen. Obama said the invaded country should show restraint. He’s been wrong on all of these. When I am president, we are going to win in Iraq and win in Afghanistan, and our troops will come home with honor. Our troops are succeeding, and when I am President, they will come home in victory, not in defeat.

Let me give you some straight talk about the state of the race today. There’s just 4 days left. The pundits have written us off, just like they’ve done before. My opponent is working out the details with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid of their plans to raise your taxes, increase spending, and concede defeat in Iraq. He’s measuring the drapes, and he gave his first address to the nation before the election, and this week he’s settled on a chief of staff. We’ve been a few points down, but we’re coming back!

The other night, Senator Obama said that if he lost, he would return to the Senate and try again in four years with a second act. That sounds like a great idea to me. Let’s help him make that happen.

I know you’re worried. America is a great country, but we are at a moment of national crisis that will determine our future.

Will we continue to lead the world’s economies or will we be overtaken? Will the world become safer or more dangerous? Will our military remain the strongest in the world? Will our children and grandchildren’s future be brighter than ours?

My answer to you is yes. Yes, we will lead. Yes, we will prosper. Yes, we will be safer. Yes, we will pass on to our children a stronger, better country. But we must be prepared to act swiftly, boldly, with courage and wisdom.

I’m an American. And I choose to fight. Don’t give up hope. Be strong. Have courage. And fight. Fight for a new direction for our country. Fight for what’s right for America.

Fight to clean up the mess of corruption, infighting and selfishness in Washington.

Fight to get our economy out of the ditch and back in the lead.

Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.

Fight for our children’s future.

Fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. America is worth fighting for. Nothing is inevitable here. We never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. Now, let’s go win this election and get this country moving again.

What an awesome speech. It is amazing McCain has the energy to make such an impassioned speech! Go for it John McCain! You have my vote.

America is Worth Defending!

Amil Imani at American Thinker has written a great post about the election and the importance of making a wise choice in the up coming Presidential Election. His post is called, “All the One’s Men”. Here’s an excerpt:

In comparing the two presidential candidates, it appears that many people see John McCain as a true American and Barack Obama as a true politician. However, in this race and in our era of uncertainty, more than anything else, character does matter, experience does matter and yes, patriotism does matter. “When patriotism dies, the nation dies.”

Obama – Student of Saul Alinsky

Victims of the Left

The socialist left’s redefinition of liberalism has taken place subtly and incrementally. The left has long understood the eff”He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”Effectiveness of an incremental approach to social revolution, where the shadow of government regulation over every aspect of life lengthens so slowly as to be scarcely noticed by the society whose structure and traditions it quietly, inexorably obscures. As the perennial Socialist presidential candidate Norman Thomas once said: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” As more and more information surfaces about socialist goals for America come forward, record numbers of people attend his speeches across the country. Why? Do Americans want Obama’s socialist nation? Do we no longer want to be the “free Democracy” protected by our Constitution which our forefathers fought and died for? Will Obama, as Presiden201

0t, “spread the wealth?” If so, what does he mean by “spread the wealth?” Let’s take a look at Obama’s background and the political influences that form the basis of his “spread the wealth campaign!”

There is a common thread among the influences that helped Obama develop his political ideologue! He was schooled in the “Saul Alinsky Methed”. What does that mean to Americans?

Alinsky believed that you empowered the “oppressed” by sowing the seeds of discontent to them and convincing them that they were oppressed and powerless.

In the Alinsky model, “organizing” is a euphemism for “revolution” — a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America’s social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo’s complete collapse — to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal “changes” are needed.

Alinsky’s believed this goal was accomplished by:

But Alinsky’s brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. As Richard Poe puts it, “Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.” Alinsky advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform.

Obama was so good at implementing Saul Alinsky’s plan that a colleague wrote::

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

What does all this mean to you and me as Americans? I tell you what it means to me. It means America will no longer be a Democracy; but a socialist state! It means that Social programs controlled by the government will lead to more and more control by the Federal Government and the “end of States Rights!” It means “private property” ownership will become a thing of the past! The First Amendment and all those amendments we hold so dear will become a thing of the past!

What it means to me is a nation that is far worse than King George III. We fought the Revolutionary War to be free of unfair taxation without representation. Yet today in America under the yoke of Nancy Pelosi and her cronies, we have representatives who are hog tied by their “family jewels!” Under judges who follow the same “progressive [socialist;Marxist ] views, freedom of religion, speech, pursuit of happiness, all are guaranteed only to minorities. A nation founded “under God” can no longer publicly display its religious preference unless it is non Christian. In a backlash, many Christians begin to sound like the Puritans who burned the “witches” in Boston early on in our history.

Now, if Obama wins the Presidency, we will be carried from King George III style of government to that of Lenin or Stalin! The fact that the ideologies behind both men has caused the death and destruction of human rights and freedom  of millions throughout the world seems lost to the  “progressives cum socialist.”

Do these people really think that Americans will sit by and watch them tear it all down? If Obama wins the election, you can bet that won’t happen. Nancy and her gang may celebrate their victory. But, the tea party will not be held in Boston!

Obama, McCain, My America

•November 1, 2008 • 2 Comments

I have been following the news very closely with regard to the election and the campaigns of both candidates. It is no secret that I support John McCain. At this stage of the game I think I would support Mary Poppins if she were running against Obama.

Let me clarify one issue before I go any further. I could care less that Obama is “black!” That is not why I so strongly oppose his bid for President of these United States. The issue is whether or not I want to continue to live in a Democracy which has endured since 1776 or a “socialist” state which will most assuredly chip away at all our rights protected and guaranteed in our Constitution!

Finally, thanks to “Joe the Plumber,” the silence surrounding Obama’s radical beliefs and his training in Saul Alynsky are becoming an open issue as they should! Finally people all across America are beginning to get a clear picture of Obama the radical he is! Finally questions are surfacing that ask where is all his money coming from!

What puzzles me about all the questions in the media is why are the media types asking these questions as if they are at a loss to explain it all? Anyone can look up the organizations who donate to Obama at the IRS website.  Oh, wait, Obama is getting his money from you and me, the ordinary American citizens. Well, I don’t know anything about the rest of the ordinary American citizens; but, I can’t afford to send McCain $200.00 though I would if I could. Certainly I am not unique. After all, the price of gas alone prohibits me. That doesn’t even take into account the increase in my grocery bill, utilities, and other household expenses.

I do know it also can’t be coming from all the “500,000 “+” black and other minority votes who were registered in Virgina, my state, and across the nation by ACORN, the local community voter groups who work in association with ACORN, and all the other “hundreds of groups” in and supported by the “Shadow Party Seven Sisters” and member groups. These people were stationed at local gas stations, food marts, grocery stores, and other places frequented by minority and low income minority groups and “whites!”

I personally asked several of them who they worked for and was told they were non political. But, when I did Google searches on their organization, they tracked right back to ACORN and affiliated groups. However, their impact can only be felt at the polls when they like me, cast their votes. Their impact can only be felt in $1.00-$5.00 donations, like mine. So where is all the money coming from that is supposed to be coming from everyday Americans “like you and me” in the amount of $200.00″ a pop?

Go take a look at MoveOn.org. and all the other groups associated with the Shadow Party in the 2004 election as George Soros tried to single handed oust  incumbent President, George Bush. Trace the donations received from George Soros, Jane Fonda, Peter Lewis, and Stephen Bing, the top donors, and all the other wealthy donors , when the Shadow Party was founded.

Richard Poe has a great article, “The Shadow Party’s “Gang of Five” at Discoverthenetwork.org. In his article, Poe brings our attention to Articles written by a former White House correspondent and a well known blogger. Poe says:

In his new book The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, National Review White House correspondent Byron York cites figures from the tracking organization Political Money Line which show that, of the $230 million spent by pro-Democrat 527 committees during the 2004 election cycle, more than $78 million came from just five individual donors.

Poe further says:

Clarice Feldman of the American Thinker has named these Democrat mega-donors the “Gang of Five.” They are, in descending order of the size of their contributions:

George Soros ———————- $27,080,105
Peter Lewis ———————— $23,997,220
Stephen Bing ———————- $13,952,682
Herbert and Marion Sandler — $13,007,959
TOTAL ——————————- $78,037,966

Peter Lewis, Stephen Bing and Herbert and Marion Sandler are all close friends and associates of George Soros.

What about this 2008 Presidential election ? I searched Google. At OpenSecrets.org I found the following information about Obama’s funding:

Source of Funds How to read this chart

legend Individual contributions $579,178,033 91%
legend PAC contributions $1,280 0%
legend Candidate self-financing $0 0%
legend Federal Funds $0 0%
legend Other $59,994,968 9%

How complete are this candidate’s campaign finance reports? How to read this chart

Quality of Disclosure

legend Full Disclosure $330,536,978 (90.7%)
legend Incomplete $10,784,060 (3.0%)
legend No Disclosure $22,981
“The site credits ‘Center for Responsive Politics’ for this information.”
I am astounded by the individual contributions:
Individual contributions $579,178,033 91%

I find these figures staggering. I can’t even begin to comprehend such a huge amount of money from individual contributors. Now, let’s see how McCain stacks up:

Source of Funds How to read this chart

legend Individual contributions $195,927,301 54%
legend PAC contributions $1,412,559 0%
legend Candidate self-financing $0 0%
legend Federal Funds $84,103,800 23%
legend Other $78,724,163 22%
And:

How complete are this candidate’s campaign finance reports? How to read this chart

Quality of Disclosure

legend Full Disclosure $160,023,465 (87.1%)
legend Incomplete $6,048,661 (3.3%)
legend No Disclosure $17,688,556 (9.6%)

“The site credits ‘Center for Responsive Politics’ for this information.”

There is definitely a significant difference. Obama [$579,178,033.00] has received 2.956 times more money in individual contributions than McCain [ $195,927,301.00]. McCain [$1,412,559] has received 1103.562 times more money from Pacs than Obama [$1.280.00]. McCain [$78,724,168] received about 1.312 times more funds from other sources than Obama [$59,994.968] and [$84,103,300.00] in federal funds, while Obama decided contrary to earlier agreements to use none. Of course, that means Obama isn’t audited as closely.
You will notice that this survey shows Obama fully disclosed 2.066 times more funds than McCain. Obama is shown to have 1.783 times more funds that are incompletely disclosed. Obama has not disclosed 765.87 times more funds than McCain. Obama took in a total of [ $657,903,481] to McCain’s [ $257,334,828]. In other words, Obama took in 2.5566 times more money than McCain. What does all of this mean.
These are just numbers. They make Obama’s supporters all hope that they show or indicate Obama will win. Personally, I think this part of our political process stinks.  It tells me the Presidency may be able to be “bought!” I tried to use different search engines to determine how much funding came from *George Soros and his super network of cronies and found little. All I really found was a supposition that the reason Soros switched his support from Clinton to Obama was her image of “big money” while Obama’s image is tied to the “common man!”  McCain’s efforts on behalf of this element of America has been virtually ignored! [If anyone knows how I can get this information. [*I would be happy to add that information here!]
We have huge financial problems and a war to support and all this enormous sum of money has been spent on the election. There has to be a fairer, more reasonable, and less expensive way to fund elections. But back to my topic, Obama’s enormous amount of individual and total contributions.
No one can deny that Obama is a dynamic speaker. Saul Alinsky’s followers recognized his speaking skills back before he became a Senator. He has been groomed since that time for the leftist bid to take control in America.
The money that has been poured into his campaign and possibly buying him the Presidency brings many questions that ought to be addressed “now” until an accounting is given! It definitely indicates that the current Campaign Finance Law is not worth the paper it is written on. Add to this the activities of ACORN and the other “leftist” organizations nationwide conducting questionable registration drives, the support of extreme leftist groups like ANSWER, ACORN, UFPJ, IAC, and the others who use email and phone call drives to bring out in mass crowds at Obama’s campaign stops giving the impression of enormous popular support, and you have a highly organized political “machine!”
Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, should Obama win the Presidential, race will be the culmination of about a “20 year” concerted effort by the extreme socialist/Marxist/communist left in America to create the “Utopian dream government” to replace the old, failed  Soviet Union as planned by the DSA at their convention in Chicago over 20 years ago.
Should Obama win, these extremists will show that using their three tiered approach, first at the top,  get elected to state and federal political offices, establish a Progressive Caucus in Congress, and  leftist judges appointed to the Supreme Court; second, use new, more acceptable, “politically correct” terminology because Americans abhor anything obviously socialist, Marxist, or communist, and third, infiltrate college campus’, local civic groups, politics, labor unions, church groups, schools, etc.  at the bottom, they can take over America. They can then do away with the “evil U.S. capitalism” that is making the world unstable; do away with our Democratic, imperialist government and Constitution that is propagating world discord, wars, and poverty; establish an North American Union to work in concert with the “Socialist” dominated European Union and establish a new world, socialist government, with national boundaries negated; establish a world court able to hold all nations answerable for whatever it deems appropriate; “spread the wealth” to all nations and peoples thus ending poverty and oppression and all the rest of the same old rhetoric and false promises that have led to the death and oppression of millions of people all over the world since French philosophers first promoted socialism and communism more than a century ago!

What really angers me most about this all is that the very American hating people behind this movement, George Soros, the Jane Fonda’s of Hollywood, the Clintons, and all the other millionaires in America, self made or inherited, have only gotten richer due to the hated America and American capitalism they so hate. If they want to “distribute the wealth,” why don’t they practice what they want to force on the rest of us Americans? Why don’t they combine their wealth and then divide it equally and “distribute their wealth” equally to themselves and every American as a gesture of good faith that their goals will work and they really believe in it??!!

I say they are a bunch of self deceiving, greedy,  opportunists! I say they ought to go to all those nations they so admire and live. I want to really see them do this. I want to see how long these pampered, ideological, pathetic excuses for human compassion and concern continue to believe they, and only they, know what is best for all America and the peoples of the world. I invite them to leave the America they find so repugnant! No, I challenge them to do so immediately! Greedy,self serving hypocrites!!

Let me tell you what I believe in. Let me tell you what all across America you will hear with a resounding ring all across America if you succeed, louder than your cries of victory!:

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription


IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

This is the sacred document that contains, guarantees, and protects everything real Americans love and hold dear. It even protects even you pathetic bunch of pampered, spoiled, rich, and treasonous “revolutionary” wannabees!! I also challenge you all to read every single word. If you can read the words in these two documents and not feel your hearts swell with pride and thanks to God, I feel sorry for you all!!
Since the end of the war that fired the “shot heard around the world” these two documents have stood for and guided America to what it is today! This is the America that I love. This is the America that I served and took an oath to “serve, protect, and defend! This is the America, with all its flaws and warts that I will always love and want to pass on to my children.
As grew into maturity it endured many growing pains, first with the Civil War, then with the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s. Through each of these tests, America grew. We, as Americans, will never forget the stains incurred in those times we swayed from the sacred tenets of these two documents. The greatest stain we live with is the horrible way we treated our native Americans.

It would be naive in the extreme to say every American automatically enjoyed the same rights and privileges found in these two documents. We are a nation comprised of many races, cultures, religions, prejudices, economic, and educational backgrounds. From the very beginning we were an experiment that drew the scorn and laughter of all Europe. Early on, Europeans looked at us as a nation of “diluted” and “sub intelligent” people because of our mixture of blacks, whites, yellow, and other ethnic cultures and peoples. We have and will continue to be a nation looked upon by many European nations a reminder of all they failed to accomplish, the harmonious blending of peoples from all walks of life because without destroying individuality.

This growth, adaption, or whatever you want to call it, is sometimes a slow process. Sometimes, as with the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s violent. But in the end, we, Americans all, come through it all a better nation of people. We do not hide our dirty laundry. We do not pretend it doesn’t exist. Nor do we apologize for our imperfections. What we do do at all times is learn from each other and grow together in a spirit of co-operation and common cause. The willingness of America and Americans to openly make mistakes, accept responsibility for our mistakes, and learn from them is what makes our nation great. I, for one, cannot imagine living in any other nation in the world.

For all of these beliefs and ideals, I cannot support anyone who would tear down all we hold dear and stand for! I could never embrace the ideals of an Obama, Pelosi, or Reid! As an American, I would never cut and run from a problem by destroying these things we hold dear on the artificial premise of a “false Utopia!”

American Banks taken back!

•October 28, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Many have called the Feds action for the nation’s banks “socialism.” I call it taking back the banks. During Mr. Truman’s Presidency, a group of bankers met in secret and set up the FDIC. They effectively took control of the banks away from Congress! This violated the Constitution.

Unfortunately Mr. Truman had been greatly influenced by Saul Alinsky. As a matter of fact, he was so impressed with the book Alinsky wrote back then that he ordered copies of it praised Alinsky. Alinsky was a socialist with a strong slant toward Marxism. He was and is also a driving force for Obama. Hillary was also very close to him and a protege of sorts.

Fair weather Republicans?

What the heck is with all these Republicans Senators and Representatives acting like the election is “over?” I hear some of them are “jumping ship!” Get off you lazy “duffs” and start “stomping” and “showing your support” for McCain. Don’t forget you were elected to your office by the people, too! You can also be voted out of office!

Now is not the time for “giving up!” When did so many spineless and cowardly men and women get elected to Congress? Put away your crying towels and start speaking out all over the country in support of your candidate, John McCain.

Will this American election be another time when “a shot heard around the world” was fired not in America, but, at America, from within?

I have repeatedly talked about the socialist movement in America. I have repeatedly referred to this as “America being Attacked from within.” As I look at the polls on FOX News showing the state of the present Presidential race, I am astounded that so many Americans are voting for Obama. Granted, the race isn’t over. McCain can still win. But, not if people don’t go out and vote. Not if people don’t take a really close look at Obama’s background and the Democratic Party funding right now!

This is serious people! American Security abroad is not the only threat to our national welfare. The socialist take-over of America is very real. The “wolf is at the door now!” We must not let them in. Otherwise we will find ourselves in the same state as Europeans now struggle with, the European Union is a socialist controlled   Union! There is a move in the Americas right now for a North American Union. Both advocate the abolition of nation states. Both advocate the abolition of  government as we know it and the establishment of a “Global Socialist Government!”

What most people don’t really pay attention to is the movement of the Islamic threat in all, of Europe. More and more of the European Nations now run by “Democratic” socialist governments practice appeasement that is allowing more and more control of their nations and government to be overtaken by Islamic radicals. Across Europe there is a new movement spearheaded by SIOE, Stop Islamisation of Europe.

As I told Lt. Nixon on his post, “A Blemish on America From Not Long Ago”, on his blog, Lt Nixon Rants”,

People in America are so naive. What they fail to do is look at the entire movement which is really very big! Saul Alynsky wrote a book, “Rules for Radicals [1],” written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” Hillary Clinton[2] and Barack Obama[3,],[4] are both avid Alynsky followers. They follow his techniques and teachings for effectively effectively accomplishing the “revolution” towards “socialism” in America or anywhere else for that matter.

Alinsky, George Soros[5], Edward Kennedy[6],[7] and George Soros “Shadow Party,”[8] founded by Soros, Clinton, and Harold Ickes, have done more to advance the slow movement of socialism in America and the “take-over” of the Democratic Party. Read it for yourself. Go to the links on these pages and see just how far socialism has become entrenched in America due, primarily, to the efforts of these people. Don’t get me wrong, they are not alone in this movement. They are the shakers and movers. They have the money and resulting power to succeed if not stopped.

America is under attack from within. The movement has been a slow and deliberate one. It has been quiet and very effective for over 60 years. As you read the information on these pages and their links, you will be very shocked, as was I, over the names and affiliations that come out in this movement.

We cannot ignore Obama’s background. We can’t continue to pretend that Ayers, Alynsky, and the radical groups Obama worked with had no lasting impact on his politics. We can’t ignore the impact of the Soros “machine” on the Democratic Party. Why Colin Powell and other obviously intelligent and patriotic Americans who love our Democracy, our Nation, would blindly vote in support of Obama and the “socialist revolution” in America is incomprehensible to me! Will this American election be another time when “a shot heard around the world” was fired not in America, but, at America, from within?
