[The following is a tri-focused rant at the economy, the healthcare bill, and the brazen stupidity of current national leadership. Please forgive the mid-stream subject changes.]
I was talking to a friend about the bill health passing today, and he said “… yeah, hang on to your wallet”, to which I replied, “That won’t do any good, what’s in there won’t be worth much before long.”
It’s all the in the name. The so-called “healthcare reconciliation act” is nothing but a major attempt at socialism that will end up being a major torpedo to this country’s economy. Furthermore, it’s another huge hail in the coffin for the US.
This act will not help the poor and disenfranchised that they claim it will. It will simply deflate what wealth and healthcare footprint we do have until there is little to go around for anyone. This is because of the dreadful impact this will have on the already recessed economy. An economy on which our all-wise dictator decided to mortgage by tripling our national debt all in the name of ’stimulus’. I’d like to whisper this news in his ear: “It’s not working.” And now we can’t even make the payments on the interest, let alone the principle.
This all almost makes me wonder if this isn’t a way to force us to make a desperate move. If the economy sags to the point of depression and the financial rating of our country drops, there will be a massive public outcry – mostly because we’re soft and will whine more about the loss of convenience. “Superman” a.k.a. El-Dictator, will have to swoop in with a bold and sweeping solution.

Long live INGSOC!
Seriously these people and the other global power brokers are working towards the same goal. They are subverting free, prosperous, and democratic countries toward global oligarchical collectivism. The ARE the Orwellian vision of government. While they may orchestrate the appearance of democratic elections and independent countries, small groups in dark rooms are pulling the strings of the officials. Sounds like crazy conspiracy-theory stuff, but it’s happening before our eyes, and now more in the open.
I was watching the evening news about Obama’s European tour and G20 meeting, the newscaster announced that it’s a good thing that the president is reaching out to other countries because many people in the world blame the US for the failing global economy. All I can say is “thanks, we’ll take credit for that”. Thanks for esteeming us so highly, and deeming us so powerful that the well being of the world hinges on our actions. We’ll also take the credit for the prior decades of global prosperity experienced in industrialized nations. After all, it is true that much of our invention and innovation is the benefactor of modernized civilization. Global labor statistics show that Americans are the most productive workers on the planet. We put in more hours, endure more stress, and produce more work output, and invent more new beneficial ideas than anyone in any country, anywhere. While this may sound arrogant, it’s just the facts. And while they call us ‘ugly Americans’ when they see us on vacation, they can just remember that we are wiped out from working so much, and are spending our hard-earned money in their country thereby contributing to the benefit of their economy. We work hard for our pay, and we expect others to do so as well. Our demanding demeanor is just the reflection of the expectations that we put on ourselves. It is a reflection of what makes us prosperous. Read the rest of this entry »
This morning Fox news aired the live press conference held at the Whitehouse where President Bush announced a sweeping change in the direction of North Korea. Details and credit to Foxnews can be found here: www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,371927,00.html In short, North Korea has agreed to give up their Nuclear Weapons program, turn over all their weapons-grade Plutonium, and allow inspectors full access to all their facilities. The reports also indicate that they will blow one up on live international TV. The President will also be asking congress to life trade sanctions, and ask that North Korea no longer be listed as a hostile State.
This is good for the US. This is good for the people of North Korea, for they have been suffering, starving, and dying under an oppressive regime. While the regime is not immediately changing, their attitude is, and they will be able to receive aid, and engage in trade. Bottom line, the sunlight of freedom will start to shine in for them. It will be important over the next several years to engage North Korea in communication and trade so that they are influenced by the philosophy of freedom. Gradually over time they may become like South Korea, modern, free, and friends.
You may be asking, “how this is a failure?”. Well, it isn’t, it’s a success. The employment of sarcasm in this case is to illustrate the bias and failure of liberals politicians and the media.
First it is notable to mention what was going on in mainstream media when this press conference was airing this morning. One of my colleagues flipped through all the major networks, and not one of them was carrying this incredible news that holds distinct importance to our entire nation and indeed the world. Instead they were covering minor news stories, editorial pieces, and interviews with recreation experts regarding summer fun.
The next thing I would like to point out requires us to go into the ‘way-back’ machine. Four years ago, leftist presidential nominee John Kerry accused President Bush of ‘taking his eye off the ball’ with North Korea, and that they were becoming a bigger threat to the US. Of course Kerry being an insincere power-monger, would also say in the next breath that President Bush was also making too much ado about nothing with North Korea, and that the President was looking for an excuse to go to war. President Bush responded simple and true. He said that diplomacy was already at work, and that it takes time and patience for things to turn around. Today we have seen the Administration’s efforts, time, and patience come to fruition.
Brace yourself for how the liberals and their media pundits will try and down-play this. Keenly observe how they will try and fault-find things about this development. They will. Wait and see. And when they do just know how insincere they really are. Realize why they are like this. They do not care what is good for our country, and they do not care about you, no matter how much they say they do. They want to paint a dismal picture for you, claim they have the answer, and ask you to hand them power, your power to control your own destiny. In a word, they want to take away your freedom, and they will say, do, and mischaracterize anything and any one to achieve their goal. They want your power, to control your freedom, your destiny. The patterns are all there. Observe their behavior. It contradicts what they say. Don’t think so? Just check out the YouTube mock movie trailer below that illustrates how they work.
Also realize that even though a guy like Mr. Bush is not a very dynamic speaker, and is not perfect or always right, he says what he means, means what he says, and in the most sincere effort, gets the job done for the benefit of us all. Today’s development proves this.
I’ve occasionally seen these fruity, 50-something old hippy protestors out on the street corners holding up signs that said “War is not the answer”. I say, sometime it is, because there is oppressive evil that must be fought.
My sister received this from one of our Marines currently in Iraq, it is a story she received that is actually making her think of re-enlisting! It is a story that might make you think. Read on….
The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at war. My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation.
My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He said “Son, stand there and tell me what you see?” “I see trees and cars and our neighbor’s houses.” he replied. “OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United States of America and you are President Bush.”
Our son giggled and said “OK.”
“Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country” my husband said.
“OK Dad, I’m pretending.”
“Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you see Saddam come out of his house with his wife, he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face,he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are screaming and crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and they are afraid of their father. You see all of this, son…. what do you do?”
“Dad?”
“What do you do son?”
“I’d call the police, Dad.”
“OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations. They take your call.They listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What do you do then son?”
“Dad………. but the police are supposed to help!”
My son starts to whine.
“They don’t want to son, because they say that it is not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it,” my husband says.
“But Dad…he killed her!!” my son exclaims.
“I know he did…but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you’re pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children.”
“Daddy…he kills them?”
“Yes son, he does. What do you do?”
“Well, if the police don’t want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him.” our son says.
“Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him,” my husband says.
“But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can’t stop him by myself!!”
“WHAT DO YOU DO SON?” Our son starts to cry. “OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?”
“What Daddy?”
“He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then…he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in the window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?”
“Daddy…”
“WHAT DO YOU DO?”
Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, “I’d close the blinds, Daddy.”
My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him…”Why?”
“Because Daddy…..the police are supposed to help people who needs them…and they won’t help…. You always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won’t help either…they won’t help me stop him…I’m afraid….I can’t do it by myself Daddy…..I can’t look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and…and…..do nothing…so….I’m just going to close the blinds…. so I can’t see what he’s doing……..and I’m going to pretend that it is not happening.” I start to cry.
My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husband’s questions and he says…”Son”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Open the blinds because that man…. he’s at your front door…”WHAT DO YOU DO?”
My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without hesitation he says: “I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I’M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I’M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I’M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!”
I see a tear roll down my husband’s cheek and he grabs our son to his chest and hugs him tight, and says… “It’s too late to fight him, he’s too strong and he’s already at YOUR front door son…..you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, and his children and the old lady across the way.
You have to do what’s right, even if you have to do it alone, before it’s too late.” my husband whispers. THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq.
When good men stand by and let evil happen son, THAT is the greatest EVIL of all.
Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE must remove evil men from power so that we can continue to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out our window so that my nine year old son won’t grow up in a world where he feels that if he just “closes” that blinds the atrocities in the world won’t affect him.
“YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO ITALONE!” BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!!! SUPPORT AMERICA SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS…”
This should be printed in every newspaper and posted in every school in America.
Of course that won’t happen so we’ll use the internet.
If your blinds are closed do nothing with this email. If they are open I do not need to tell you what to do.
Plan for America: New foreign policy and defence strategy:
The US will apologize to the world for our “interference” in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic and the rest of those ‘good ole boys,’ We will never “interfere” again.
We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don’t want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.
All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We’ll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them.
All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don’t like it there, change it yourself and don’t hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don’t need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
No foreign “students” over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don’t attend classes, they get a “D” and it’s back home baby.
The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don’t like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not “interfere,” They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
Ship the UN Headquarters and most of our politicians to an isolated island some place. We don’t need the spies and fair-weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us “Ugly Americans” any longer.
The Language we speak is ENGLISH…..learn it…or LEAVE…”
The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying ‘Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.’ She’s got a base-ball bat and she’s yelling, ‘You want a piece of me?’”
