The New War

2011-04-01T08:32:00.000-07:00

The situation in Libya grows worse each day. Through our president, America has taken a stand to back the rebels rising up against Mommar Qaddafi. There have been other dictators who have mistreated their people, but we have taken a stand against Libya. Is it because of the oil? These suggestions have been denied as we do not get Libyan oil. The bigger question is can we afford to enter another war?
A great deal of noise is buzzing about this very thing. However, by choosing to go in under NATO, Obama is hoping to avoid being embroiled in another conflict that would yet force our military's involvement. They are spread pretty thin right now.
And yet rumors persist of closed door meetings and CIA operatives going to ground in Libya.
Obama denies it, saying we will not send ground troops. And yet word is coming out of Camp LeJeune that the marines are preparing to go into training for a secretive military operation. And it doesn't sound like Afghanistan.
Obama knows that if he undertakes another war, he will not survive the 2012 election which is most likely the reason this is all so secretive.
His far left supporters are already jumping ship, and those on the right are attacking his every move. Another war just about seals his fate to go back to Chicago, home of the gangland style of politics.
Qaddafi must be dealt with. But he is not the only dictator committing atrocities against their people. What about the people of Darfur in Africa? Does the United States take a hand in all the atrocities in the world? No, we don't.
Since we are in such dire circumstances here at home, we should be cutting off aid to all these cesspool nations that hate us so much. And to involve us in yet another conflict is wrong on so many levels. Has anyone bothered to check out who the rebels are? How do we know they aren't Al Queda or Iranians? To replace one dictator with another terrorist doesn't help the world cause. Or does Obama have an ulterior motive?
Could the true story be that it takes the focus off our economy and our lack of jobs? Maybe it takes the heat off what is really the focus of the nation and gives Obama an excuse for not creating jobs, not focusing on the budget or the welfare of his own country. ~ One Voice

The Changing Face of Egypt

2011-02-11T14:12:00.000-08:00

Mubarak has stepped down at last. Could there have been any other outcome?
While the cry for democracy is heard throughout the world, will that be the result of the mass protests in Egypt?
We hope that we will see the dawning of another democratic breakthrough for that nation, and not the dawning of another country falling to the despotic influence of the radical Muslims of the world. We saw the outcry against the last elections in Iran that were skewed in favor of Ahmadinejad. Many were punished by death for the revolt in the streets of Teheran.
If the Muslims come to power, and this is a very real possibility, Egypt's problems are just beginning. Yes, a dictator has been removed, but often the results of a revolution become worse than what was there before.
Let's hope that Egyptians get their say in the voting process. But the U.S. needs to be watchful because whatever happens in Egypt has a direct impact on our nation. If the Muslims or another anti-American factions takes charge of the Suez Canal, we can be cut off from our main energy source.
Off shore drilling can combat some of the expense of having to rely on OPEC's shipments, but trouble over the canal will have far reaching effects.
We bless the people of Egypt and understand their pleas for a free society. We are thankful for our own freedom and want to keep it at all costs.
We can only hope that our intelligence agencies and security teams are keeping a close watch on developments in Egypt. We cannot afford not to. ~ One Voice

Tragedy in Tucson

2011-01-11T19:39:00.001-08:00

Much has been said about the horrific events that occurred last Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011. There is enough hatred in the world without manufacturing more.
But that is just what the left wingers are doing, trying to blame the actions of a lunatic by laying the blame at the feet of the Tea party, conservative television commentators, and Sarah Palin. Sheriff Dupnik, Tucson's representative of the law, has been busy blaming the senseless killings on everyone but the real culprit, the murderer himself, Jared Laughner.
What is it about the Democrats? Every since this horrible event happened, we have heard diatribes against conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party, and Sarah Palin. It has become apparent that Laughner had been planning this heinous act since 2007. He was out to get Giffords well before the Tea party was even formed, before Palin became a vice presidential candidate. Democrates have used this crisis to further their own agendas, using it for everything from ramping up the gun control debate to raising money for their political campaigns. This is just as horrifying to me as the actual attack on Giffords and the people of Tucson.
What is wrong with with these government officials? When did it become all right to use tragedies for their own personal gain? And what is Obama thinking by remaining silent in the face of this inhumane treatment of the victims and their families?
While Sheriff Dupnik makes the rounds of the left based talk shows and attacks those on the right, how is this helping those who were attacked to get answers to the tragedy or to heal in the aftermath of six murders and one attempted murder?
Obama needs to call these Democrats to task for their bad behavior. But don't hold your breath. I doubt it will ever happen. ~ One Voice

The Day Has Come

2011-01-05T13:39:00.000-08:00

It's here! The day of reckoning that we promised in November. Nancy Pelosi is fired! We, the people, made that happen. And today, was the day she was dethroned.
After a lengthy speech, she finally handed over the gavel to the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner. His acceptance speech was shorter than hers. He was succinct and to the point, reminding Americans that they were going to do the people's business.
First on the agenda will be repealing the Obamacare debacle known as health care reform. Despite receiving a letter from Harry Reid and top democrats insisting this is "an exercise in futility", Boehner listened to the people and this is what they want. Not the autocratic bill full of earmarks that the democrats jammed through despite nearly every one's protest. Maybe it won't pass the Senate, but there are other ways to stop it, like funding issues.
Cost Cutting will be next. The GOP is starting on the right foot by setting an example to their constituents by cutting their own salaries, albeit, not a large amount, but 5% is better than voting themselves an increase every year. Why shouldn't they feel the crunch that most Americans are feeling in this trying economy?
The spending cuts are going to hurt everyone alike. Perhaps this time it won't only be the older people who feel this crunch. It needs to be spread to the wealthy, to everyone, rich or poor, across this country. But most importantly, the government needs to do serious cutting. Getting rid of earmarks for states is a big way to do that. Not the only answer, of course, but it's a start.
Congratulations to the new Congress. We will be watching you to see that you do what the people have asked of you. If not, the next election will show an even bigger upset than the last one. The time for business as usual is over. ~One Voice

Remembering Pearl Harbor

2010-12-07T10:18:00.000-08:00

Do you remember it? Most of us are too young to have been there. But we remember the stories, the horrific pictures, the history of it all.
December 7, 1941, as Roosevelt said, "is a day that will live in infamy." History books today may try to cloud that day over with "political correctness." But we were viciously and brutally attacked by the Japanese.
The destruction of much of our Navy's battleships was a blow to the Americans and yet they rose up from the ashes of those bombings to fight back for our country. Millions of men marched into recruitment centers and signed up to fight the enemy.
They became our "Greatest Generation." Proud young boys eager to stand up for their country and do the nation proud. And that they did.
If you know any veterans from that time that are still with us, listento their stories. And thank them for their service to this country. They literally saved the nation.
Many lives were lost that day. Bright, fresh young faces that went through hell and some who now lay buried in the belly of those ships. Say a silent prayer in their memory.
Make this day a day to remember. Next year we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of this sad day. And despite this attack, and the war that followed, a new generation of Americans was born into a free nation. Thank God for their service and may God Bless America! ~One Voice

Delay vs. Rangel: Double Standards

2010-11-24T16:49:00.000-08:00

Tom Delay was ousted from office several years ago and the charge was money laundering, giving campaign contributions to other candidates. Charlie Rangel hasn't paid his taxes in several years on property he owns in the Dominican Republic. Delay has been convicted, though it took several trials to get that conviction. Rangel, to my knowledge, as not been approached by the Feds, but has been censured by his colleagues in the House of Representatives. What that will entail has yet to be decided. But Rangel is still there, still serving in the House, having been re-elected to another term by his constituents in Harlem. He is 80 years old.
Both men have served many terms in the legislature and while one will certainly have a jail term, the other, Rangel, will no doubt still be free.
Where is the justice in this country? I am not standing behind either party, but am demanding equal justice for both crimes. Rangel should be kicked out as Delay was. Anytime crimes are committed justice needs to prevail. And neither should be permitted to hold onto their office. (Delay was removed; but will Rangel be forced to step down?
I doubt it. There are 2 sets of rules for Democrats and Republicans. And if you aren't wise to this, you've been hiding behind a rock. James Traficant, a representative from Ohio, served jail time. He was a Republican. Tom Delay will likely serve jail time, he is a Republican. And Rangel likely will get a slap on the wrist.
It's time to stop this double standard in our Congress. If you do the crime, you do the time and that's the end of that story.
Keep on your representatives and senators. Do not allow them to adhere to this double standard any longer. We have to watch them closely and refuse to let them get away with anything, because if we stand back and do nothing, they will continue to ignore the pressing problems of the people and go ahead with business as usual. We cannot accept that. We have a brand new Congress coming in this January; one who has promised to adhere to the will of the people. Let's hold everyone of them accountable. ~ One Voice

Tea Party Patriots: What's Ahead

2010-11-05T10:21:00.000-07:00

The Tea Party can pat itself on the back. Hey, we did a good job. But our work is not done.
Our work is just beginning. We have to keep our eye on the republicans in Washington. We've heard that Boehner is keeping the will of the people at the fore front of his agenda. That's good, but we have to make sure that things are done appropriately.
As we look forward to 2012, we have to target the opposition where Democrats still retained their offices and find viable candidates to take them down. No, we are not a hit squad. But we have to stay active in our quest to retain a traditional America, one totally based on our Constitution and the principles created by our forefathers.
Things are going to be difficult out here in the grassroots of America. We all have to bite the bullet and tighten our belts as everyone has to pitch in and face the hard fact that cuts must be made. But once we get through these hard days ahead, we will come out victorious on the other side of the war on the national debt.
No more spending in Washington will directly impact many lives. We can only hope they won't continually make the elders pay for the sins of the younger ones who put us on this path.
Looking ahead to the next election, we must prepare because the left is going to come at us with all they've got. We'll be ridiculed, insulted, and literally attacked from all sides. Why? Because they fear us. We have the power. We are the people.
So let's begin now to prepare for 2012. There is a lot of work ahead that must be done before the next election. Let's get started by recruiting more members. We need to get through to the people who haven't voted and win them to our side. And the best way to do that is with knowledge. Spread the word. Invite people to the meetings. Let them see the level to which we are committed to keeping America free!
So, for now, you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Then buckle down and get ready to work. ~ One Voice

November Has Come: Obama's Reaction

2010-11-03T12:41:00.000-07:00

Obama was presented with a golden opportunity today in a press conference to address the gigantic victory by the GOP last night. Unfortunately, Obama missed the opportunity. He did his best to appear humble but his words didn't match his appearance.
He still doesn't get it. The votes overwhelmingly were a referendum against Obama's policies, especially health care, but he still doesn't see that.
Instead of admitting that he understands what the people want, he pretty much insisted that he sees no reason to "repeat events that occurred in the last year."
He says he's willing to sit down with Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi, and Reid to discuss "any ideas they may have to make his plan better." But if you read the body language, you can read the insincerity of his words.
Don't count on this being an easy transition. When the House of Representatives try to repeal Obamacare, he's going to dig in and fight them tooth and nail. Since the GOP didn't win the House, we will be stopped in our tracks and that is what Obama is counting on.
But the House can stop the funding and that is where we will win. So just a word of advice to Obama. If you think we had a tsunami last night, wait until 2 years from now. We will fire you, too!
The people of this country have spoken. They want less government, repealed health care, more jobs. They want the economy fixed. And you don't do that with Obamacare which is causing insurance companies to double and triple their rates.
He promises to work with the new Congress. That remains to be seen.
It's time he realizes what the people want and then he must deliver. ~

Voter Fraud

2010-10-28T16:41:00.000-07:00

It's already out there. Pennsylvania, North Carolina, California, Nevada, the news is full of cases of voter fraud.
And now we hear Bill Clinton is trying to throw the Florida election to Charlie Crist, insisting Meek needs to resign and let the race be between Rubio and Crist. 5 days before the election? I won't be surprised if we find out that the Democratic party pays Meek to back out. This is voter fraud!
And in Nevada, the hotbed race between Angle and Reid that has them in a virtual tie, there have been reports of ballots being handed out that already have Reid's name marked.
I'm totally expecting more of this to rear its ugly head. We've already heard of several states from Colorado, Illinois and New York refusing to get ballots out in time to the military, thereby disenfranchising thousands and thousands of men and women who are fighting for their country. And in Illinois, that grand state of corruption, over 2,000 ballots were delivered to the prisons. Note: Felons are not allowed to vote!
We've been waiting for this moment and now, as Voting Day draws near, we have to worry that our vote won't be counted. Keep watchful eyes and ears open. Don't let anyone get away with stealing this election. We've waited too long to be able to show our government what we feel. Vote your heart and make sure no one messes with your ballot.
Remember November! Let our voices right out for freedom as we Take America Back! ~One Voice

NPR Controversy and Tea Party Attacks

2010-10-24T17:30:00.000-07:00

The Firing of Juan Williams
NPR's actions against news analyst Juan Williams smack of discrimination. It is my humble opinion that they were waiting for a reason to let him go - after all, he was a commentator for FOX and we all no that FOX is an abomination to the national news media. I had someone tell me today that FOX is yellow journalism. How does one come to that conclusion when both sides, left and right, are presented?
Not only did the President of NPR handle this decision without compassion, she insulted Williams by suggesting he talk to "his psychiatrist or PR person, whichever he feels the need to see." And this woman still has her job?
Apparently, ever since Williams joined the FOX team, he became a pariah to NPR. Never mind that he gave them ten years out of his life. He is hurt by their behavior, as well he should be. Try to explain this kind of behavior to your children as he had to do.
As we speak, there are efforts to unfund this network. The Federal government has before it a measure in which they asked for funding. The government's part is small, as they rely on the public for most of its funding. Yes, tax payers are paying for this one too.
Enter George Soros.
The mega-billionaire George Soros, long known to bankroll left leaning causes, has stepped in and made big donations to NPR - enough to "hire" 100 news journalists who have "the right attitude about news"; also he is now publicly funneling money to Media Matters (which before now he would never admit); before it was funneled through The Tides, a group that he used to hide his questionable donations.
He's getting a network set up in which he can attack the "right" should they win the midterm elections.
His plans for ths country and his secretive behind the scenes plotting are about to go up in smoke. People are not as stupid as he believes.
Tea Party Attacks
The Tea Party is already undergoing the attacks from the far left. Sarah Palin, most of all. She is not the single solitary spokesperson for the Tea Party but they are lumped together one and the same. Those on the left have her and her husband throwing tin cans at each other in their front yard. Sounds more like this came from the National Enquirer than NPR.
The Tea Party, though not a political party, is defined as one. We've been labeled racists, loonies, astroturf and worse. All of this posturing is the result of a grassroots effort to take back our country starting with this election because we do not like what those in power are trying to do to this country. And folks, I have to tell you, all of this is the result of good, hard work.
Fear is taking over.
That's right. They are scared. And the best way to fight something they cannot understand is to denigrate us. We are fighting in the trenches for the country we believe in. And no amount of ridicule by the left is going to make us give up.
Whether we are being attacked for stating our opinion, like Juan Williams, a known liberal but certainly not a bigot, or Sarah Palin for swaying so many people to see the right path, we are getting to them. And all I can say is, Keep up the good work, Tea Partiers! Never stop fighting to take America back! ~ One Voice

Voting: You Can Make a Difference

2010-10-19T09:18:00.000-07:00

I've heard talk that many people don't like their choices or think that by not voting they are making a statement. They are. And that statement is: Let's continue paying more taxes to the government; Let's pay more for health care; let's let Obama mount up our debt and pass it on to our children and their children.
You have to stand up and do the right thing. Vote and give voice to your beliefs. Obama is out there campaigning to do more of the same: higher taxes, less jobs, and more debt. He's making a mockery of his office by using his power to keep Americans unemployed. He wants us to be under government control. He's all about breaking America and not making it better.
You may think because this is not his re-election year, you don't need to vote. So are you happy with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker? Are you happy with senators and congressmen and women who kowtow to Obama's every wish? Only you can change it. Your vote will count. Exercise your right and vote in this election.
If you are dissatisfied with what we have, we need to change it. If you want to make them listen to the voice of Americans like yourself, you need to take that first step. And it begins with your vote.
If you want to give America a chance, you will vote for either the conservative on your ballot or the Republican. They can stop Obama's crazy spending and restore responsibility back in Washington. Vote for them and then ride herd on them; watch every decision they make and make them adhere to what we, the people, demand of them. Remember they work for us. We, the people, are the real power behind this country.
So do yourself and your country a favor and VOTE! Time is running out. You need to vote in this election and become part of the majority who wants to take America Back! Only you can make our leaders listen. You are the power. Use it!~ One Voice

Is The Fix In?

2010-10-15T08:03:00.000-07:00

As we get closer to election day, more and more information is coming out about the elections. Nothing new there, right?
We are hearing about disenfranchised voters who are not being allowed to cast votes in our elections. It is even more heinous because these voters are overseas, fighting for their country.
That's right, our soldiers, many of them, are being denied their right to participate in our elections. The states of Colorado, Illinois, and New York, to name but a few, have been notified and chose to let the deadlines go by without taking action. Except for New York who asked for an extension and received it as Oct. 1. Then they let the date come and go without doing anything to assure our men and women in uniform could vote.
Let me just ask this question. If most of these voters were perceived to be liberals, would this be happening? It is a known fact that most military personnel vote conservative.
Is this yet another means by our government to "control" us? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of voters being denied their constitutional rights.
I hope everyone writes or calls their representatives and protests loudly on this one. Can you imagine if this happened when Obama was running? There would be no end to the investigations. Are we not entitled to the same consideration. After all, these are citizens who are being disenfranchised. It's time someone stood up for the military because we know we can't count on those in power now. ~

Down and Dirty Politics

2010-10-11T19:17:00.000-07:00

The Democrats are running scared and starting to unravel. Desperation has caused them to go into attack mode because they cannot defend their voting records.
Obama is out there stumping and trying to throw everything at the GOP he can, including trying to suggest GOP campaign finances might be coming from overseas interests. Suggesting that GOP campaign contributions might be suspect. That's a good one! He's accusing the Republicans of breaking the law because they won't reveal the source of the Chamber of Commerce's contributions.
Gee, I don't remember Obama revealing his sources when he was raking in millions during his presidential campaign. He wouldn't reveal who his donors were. And we know George Soros was one of them. George Soros who has connections from all over the world.
Obama is used to Chicago politics. The dirtier the better. They've never played an honest game. Look at the records of the first Mayor Daly. Look at the miscreants that Obama hung out with prior to his election: Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and others of questionable reputations.
This is modus operandi. He doesn't abide by the law. Look at what he's done to the state of Arizona; suing them for trying to protect their borders against thieves and murderers and drug smugglers.
Obama doesn't play fair. Accusing others takes the emphasis off of things he cannot possibly defend, like the 95,000 more jobs lost in September and a jobless rate of 9.6% and a slumping economy. Not to mention the health care bill that over 73% of Americans didn't want.
As we get closer to V-day, the attacks will no doubt get worse. What Republicans need to do is to keep talking positively about the jobs they will create and what they will do to turn things around.
The GOP doesn't need to break the laws to get votes, Mr. Obama. No, you've taken care of that by going against the will of the people. Your scare tactics are not going to work. America is neither blind or stupid.
Everyone - get out the vote and Take America Back. In 3 weeks, we will show Mr. Obama who is in charge - the American people. ~One Voice

Americans For Prosperity BusTour 10/9/2010

2010-10-09T12:36:00.000-07:00

The Americans For Prosperity Bus Tour made a stop at Veteran's park on Harrison Avenue today. Among the speakers were Rebecca Heimlich, spokesperson, Chris Littleton, head of the Cincinnati Tea Party, and others who ramped up the crowd to "GET OUT THE VOTE."
There was also a literature pickup with volunteers delivering literature to various precints that contained information on the 1st District representative's voting record in Congress. While Americans For Prosperity is not affiliated with a party or candidate, they do provide an effort to inspire Ohioans to vote.
Next Saturday, October 16, another literature drop will be made at Clippard Industries on Colerain Avenue at 9:30 A.M. This event will be manned by the Northwest Tea Party. Invite your friends and family to help in getting the vote out. There will be pizza from La Rosa's following the drop.
On Monday evening, October 11th, the West Side Tea Party will be meeting at The Farm at 7:00 P.M. If you'd like to have dinner, they will be open at 6:00 P.M.
Get off the sofa, and get out and talk to your neighbors. Let them know how your representative voted. Make some phone calls and come to some tea party meetings. See for yourself how Americans are taking back their country.
No more will it be politics as usual. We can't take the election for granted. Gone are the days when you can count on your candidate winning just by voting. We need volunteers to get the word out and most of all, we need to let the candidates know what we expect of them.
GET INVOLVED and TAKE AMERICA BACK. ~One Voice

Ballots for Boehner

2010-10-04T09:11:00.000-07:00

Raised in the community of Reading, the oldest of 12 children, John Boehner came from humble beginnings (his father operated a cafe), John attended Moeller, was raised a Catholic and learned the values of family and a good education.
Now he is engaged in possibly the hardest campaign of his career. This year not only is he being bombarded by the Democrats, fellow Republicans and Tea Party affiliates are watching to see what he'll do if he is re-elected. Should the Moeller grad become Speaker of the House, he will be watched closely to see just how strictly he would adhere to the principles he has put forth in his Pledge to America.
Right now Tea Party followers are supporting the Republican Party. But if things don't fall into place as promised, they could revert to the Democrats next time or emerge with their own party.
The Republican party is under pressure to give the people what they are asking for. And Boehner has said "he gets it." Let's hope he does, for the sake of his career and the people who stand in support of him. ~One Voice

Kickin' It for Kasich

2010-09-30T18:42:00.000-07:00

Ohio has a big decision to make as it looks to electing a governor. And here are the questions. Do you want 2 more years of the same unemployment numbers? Do you want to see Strickland take more money from the paychecks of people who are still lucky enough to have jobs? You've seen the attack ads saying Kasich sent away jobs and yet Strickland is oddly silent about the stimulus money he was awarded to use for Ohio jobs - jobs that he ignored and sent the money to El Salvador. Is that the kind of state leader you can believe in? Do you want 2 more years of the same lackluster leadership and cutting of school teachers jobs?
I keep hearing how Obama and Strickland saved all these teacher jobs and yet, how come every teacher I know is pounding the pavement and unable to find teaching jobs?
That will change if we elect John Kasich. Yes, he may make some unpopular cuts, but he'll also get people back to work. He will work to make Ohio strong again while re-election for Strickland is a death knell for Ohio.
It's time for a change, a real change. Elect John Kasich for Governor and help get Ohio back where it belongs - a great place to work. Kasich's first priority is jobs, jobs, jobs. Give him a chance to get us back on our feet.
Restore honor to Ohio by electing John Kasich as Governor of the great state of Ohio. Kicking it for Kasich is a step in the right direction and our first step in taking America back. It all begins with you. Remember November! ~ One Voice

Making the Right Choice vs. Selfish Power Grubbers

2010-09-17T18:19:00.000-07:00

The Christine O'Donnells and Joe Millers that won their primaries will be a fresh take on the standard status quo government problems. If they get a chance!
Rep. Murkowski, it seems, cannot take no for an answer. In a desperate bid to hang on to a job she doesn't want to give up, she has announced she will be a write in candidate on the November ballot. Not only does this move make her look like a fool, it skews the chances against the Republican party to retake the House. This ploy may very well affect the outcome and allow the Democrat to get in. May it also go on record that this candidate didn't even have the good manners to congratulate the winner of the primary, Joe Miller, a Tea Party candidate.
Down in the lower 48, in Delaware, the same thing has occurred. No congratulatory call. Perhaps he will go on to attempt the same fate, thereby sabotaging Ms. O'Donnell's campaign. As she goes on her way, campaigning, she has 2 foes to conquer: her Democratic opponent and the "old guard" republicans who don't want to allow a Tea Party candidate into their "special club."
Karl Rove can't resist the opportunity to denigrate this woman every chance he gets. He is so busy telling us what her faults are that he forgets about his own questionable reputation.
I suppose, rather than let the new kid on the block win, it is better to concede to the Democrats. I'm beginning to wonder if the republicans and democrats are working together to keep outsiders from entry into their "club."
What happened to doing what is right for the country? What happened to going after the greater good? Are these egoist snobs so self-centered that they can sacrifice doing the right thing for holding onto the power that comes with their office?
Fellows, remember that you work for us. It is "we, the people" who pay your salaries and who put you into the "club."
I hope everyone who possibly can will back the new people. It's time to send the "old guard" packing and get some fresh blood in Washington.
Right now, the Tea Party is aligning themselves with the Republicans, but this will not always be the case. One of these days, I expect to see a new party, perhaps named after the Tea Party, perhaps named The Conservative party, but I think its day is coming. After the behavior of some of the republican organizations, I think that day can't be too far off. Both republicans and democrats seem incapable of listening to the will of the people. Perhaps the new breed will. There's only one way to find out: Support them financially, if possible, and vote for them where ever possible. Our future depends on it. We can no longer trust the tried and the untrue. Career politicians must be a thing of the past. God Bless America! ~ One Voice

Tea Party Victories

2010-09-14T21:02:00.001-07:00

Congratulations to all the victors in the Republican primaries held today. This was the last one before the election day in November.
In probably the biggest upset, Ms. O'Donnell, a Tea Party candidate, won in Delaware in the race for Joe Biden's former Senate seat. But instead of offering congratulations for her win, the first words out of the NSRC rep's mouth was, "We will not support her candidacy." Talk about sour grapes! All of the Republican talking heads were outraged that she won. Karl Rove was spitting and fuming, suggesting that he didn't find her "a very smart candidate." What?
They are worried they won't take the House in November. Well guess what? I have a feeling that Ms. O'Donnell will win. And she won't be the only Tea Party candidate that wins.
Americans are sick of the "good old boy" network. We want people in the House and Senate who will work for the people. No more electing representatives who will sell out to the highest bidder. No more supporting candidates who tell us one thing and then do another.
I am so ashamed of the GOP right now. We are voting for conservative candidates, not the business as usual type professional politicians. We want people in Washington who listen to their constituents and vote like we want them to. We're sick of pork; we don't want 50,000 page bills that no one reads. They've had their chances to make things right. Talk is cheap and the rinos are doing a lot of talking and we're not seeing any action.
We're taking back America and they better pay heed to what we're saying. Go Tea Party conservatives! ~ One Voice

September 11-Silent Night

A Reflection on 9/11

2010-09-11T10:26:00.000-07:00

Today is an emotional day for me.
I'm not going to talk about the Quran burning.
Nor the sacrilegious efforts to build a mosque so near ground zero in NYC.
Today, on this the 9th anniversary of the horrendous attack on our country, I am going to pause and offer prayers for those victims and their families who are still coming to grips with their losses.
Seeing all the reminders of that senseless tragedy, only brings more anger and emotion to the surface. Hearing Taps played in NYC against a backdrop of ruin, sends shivers up my spine.
We must never forget that day; not that we could. Watching those families call out the names of their loved ones and total strangers that they didn't know before 9/11 happened, is a brisk reminder of what price they are paying. And will continue to pay as they come to terms with the tragedy that forever changed their lives and the lives of all Americans.
While I didn't know anyone who was in the towers that day, I feel deeply about this event and nine years hasn't lessened those feelings. The terrorists may have destroyed those buildings, but they will never destroy the spirit that is America. We are a resilient people. We've come through tragedies before: the American Revolution (another lengthy war); the Civil War that pitted brother against brother; the bombing of Pearl Harbor; the assassination of 5 presidents; all horrific times in our country's history.
We rise up and unite together to defeat our enemies because we are The United States of America. And let no man, Muslim, Jew or Christian, think that he can destroy this country's spirit.
We take pride in the band of brothers and sisters that we became on 9/12. Sadly, a lot of that spiritual healing has disappeared and we've gone back to the divisive way that we knew before 9/11 happened. That is a sad fact and one not to be proud of.
We have soldiers trying to take apart the Taliban that once protected Usama Bin Laden and his evil Al Qaeda network. And we can only pray that one day he will pay for the atrocities he committed in the name of religion on 9/11.
Most of us know and believe in God and in our hearts, we know that God is a just God. No one believes that a religion's main tenet is to kill other human beings. Life is God's greatest gift and only He has the right to take it away.
God bless America and the families impacted by the 9/11 tragedy. May they find peace and relief from their pain. ~ One Voice

Secular Progressives: The Taking of America

2010-09-08T09:48:00.000-07:00

Secular progressives are trying to steal this country and make us part of the great world order. SP's, or far left radicals, funded by George Soros, the money man behind movements like moveon.org, the push to legalize the sale of narcotics, and erase religion from the government, are behind this push to change the face of America forever. In cahoots with Soros and his brainwashed supporters is Peter Lewis, owner of Progressive Insurance. He backs the plan to legalize drugs. It seems fitting that he would endorse this program, since he's already spent time behind bars because of illegal drug use.
Groups like this who support the far left agenda with tons of money pray on people who want to change the country by ridding us of the precepts that formed this great nation. They want a government controlled society where there is redistribution of wealth, only government regulated employment, and take away our freedoms. Sound familiar? It's called communism.
Do you think the Tea Parties represent violence? Have you heard of anarchy resulting from these peaceful marches to let America know we want to stop this madness? No, but you will hear the far left blaming the tea party for the increase in violence in this country. When the truth is the far left is terribly afraid of this freedom movement and the idea of "taking back America," because such an effort will interfere with their plans. The Tea Party movement is viewed by the leftists as a threat; they are terrified that America will wake up and understand what they are doing before the takeover is ocmplete.
But Americans are not sold on their ideology. No, we are not as stupid as they hoped we would be. Or as Bill O'Reilly says, "we're not Kool-Aid drinkers."
When an idea sounds too good to be true, be wary. Because it usually is. Ask yourself "What is behind it?"
Did it all start in the sixties with the "peace" movement with the revolution in this country against war? There are those of us who remember war as a noble thing. When the boys marched off to war in WWII, it was noble. We were proud to kick the butts of Japan and Germany and free the world of its oppressors. Sure war is ugly; people die and that is the tragedy of it. But you have to look at the greater good.
Then Vietnam came and Americans, instead of supporting our troops, denigrated them. Some called them "baby killers." The soldiers came home to their families to be spit on and ridiculed for their service. This was criminal. Again, activities spurred on by the SP's. We all know that war is an ugly thing, but sometimes we have to fight for what is right.
If we hadn't fought for our freedom, we might still be owing allegience to the British monarchy, or Hitler, or Tojo. Sometimes our countrymen can let us down. I understand that. But to turn over all our hard won freedoms to the SP's is wrong.
Now, I'm all for advancement and for doing what is right. But when did it become right for the SP's to dictate when we can pray and where? When did it become right for them to dicate what our schools can teach or print in our textbooks? When did it become right to break the law in the name of democracy? When did we have to ask permission to salute the flag?
Americans need to question what is going on around them before it is too late. What does it mean when a culture is so active in promoting minorities and yet it can let women be demeaned over and over again? How can we cry racism against black or white or yellow or Native American and yet not see racism against women?
It's time, America, to adhere to the principles of our founders. This nation was built on the Judeo-Christian ethics that gave us great men like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington and John and Samuel Adams, great men, not perfect, but great, wise men who forged America into the beginnings of a great nation.
How sad must they be to see what has become of the country they fought so hard to secure by fighting that long revolution to secure our independence.
Don't let the SP's win. Fight back to bring this country back to greatness. And the first step begins with YOU - in less than 2 months. Join in the fight to take America back. Remember the words of John Paul Jones who said "I have not yet begun to fight." ~ One Voice

Restoring America Rally

2010-08-28T14:15:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Glen Beck for his tribute to honor the heroes of this country. In a beautiful sentiment to this country, Glen Beck not only honored the founders of this nation, he honored the memory of Martin Luther King on the 47th anniversary of his famed "I Have A Dream" speech. One of his guests was the niece of King, Dr. Alveda King. She gave a rousing speech that stirred the crowd. Close to half a million people came to Beck's tribute, people from all over the world. They listened to words of faith, inspiration and joy. People, Black, White, and Asian joined together leaving politics at home.
Listening to a Vietnam veteran lead the closing prayer brought tears to the eyes of even the strongest and hardiest people, when Beck related the story of how his face was injured when he took a grenade blast rather than have anyone else be hurt. When he wept into his pillow and turned away, his face remained in the pillow and he only had one eye left. He turned to God to heal and he has healed in mind and body and his prayer was very moving. We heard voices raised in praise to God and in song, as black and white alike sang "Amazing Grace" to the accompaniment of the bagpipes.
Following, at the end, were song tributes from several country western singers. A beautiful day, a beautiful tribute, and beautiful words to honor this nation.
Farther away, in the distance, Rev. Al Sharpton's group gathered in tribute to Martin Luther King, but his words were not for the healing of the country. No, they were cruel and divisive. You have to ask yourself, why does a man of God continue to denigrate and divide his people against white people. And yet he's not considered a racist?
Every report that I have seen so far is trying to divide and denigrate what was done in D.C. today. But I forget: these are the people who ridicule the right and their belief in God. These are the people who believe in abortion and the taking of innocent lives; these are the kind of people who want to keep racism alive.
Glen Beck raised over 5 million dollars for his charity: the Special Ops Warriors Organization. Again, Congratulations to Beck for staging an extremely successful event. God is surely reigning down blessings upon this man who so eloquently asked his attendees to carry the message of faith to the world. ~One Voice

To Mosque or Not to Mosque - That is the Question

2010-08-18T11:30:00.000-07:00

Yes, the Islamists have every right to their religion and to build a mosque legally where they want. But don't you find it strange that it has to be close to the sight of the most heinous attack in modern history?
Humanely, it is not the right thing to do. They already have 30 mosques in the state of New York. If they want to build another one to worship in, that is fine, but the location is not. It's like thumbing their nose at the survivors and the families of this tragic event. If the Imam is intent on using this site for the mosque, you have to wonder why it must be there, right in the shadow of the 9/11 massacre. Is it possible that they want it as a memorial to the men who destroyed the towers?
No one disputes their right to build a mosque and to worship as their religion compels them to do. But what about the rights of the victims families who view this area as a burial ground for their dead? What about their rights? Do they not have the right to share their disgust at the Mayor for okaying this venture? Their wounds are still bleeding; it is an emotional tug at their hearts as they try to work through their grief and misery and live their lives, forever changed by the murderous acts of 19 men.
Can this Imam not understand why they do not want that mosque anywhere near the hallowed ground where their loved ones died such an unspeakable death? It will be a constant reminder of what happened. A permanent thorn piercing their hearts, already damaged by the tragedy of that unforgettable day.
If this is indeed to be a place of worship, why does it matter if it is in another location? If the Imam is a man of faith, he would understand the heartfelt anguish the victims families are going through and try to ease their torturous burden.
Time may ease the burdens somewhat, but the memories are still there, the pain still aches for those who were taken away by acts of those madmen.
The time has come for the Mayor to back down and give the Islamists an alternative that is less hurtful to the New Yorkers who lost family members on 9/11. Ten years hasn't yet passed since this horrible event that shaped and changed lives forever, and yet he can sweep it all away by saying that we need to move on, to allow the mosque to be built to heal the city. But all he has done, is stirred up more feelings of angst.
Nice going, Mr. Mayor! How are your chances for re-election? Oh, that's right, you were supposed to have stepped down after 2 terms, yet you bought your way back in. How could I possibly think you'd be noble enough to understand the pain and suffering of the families left devastated by the tragedy of 9/11?
The mosque needs to be moved. Some say that it will never be built because no construction crew will work on this building. Maybe that is true. Only time will tell. Governor Patterson is trying to offer an alternative location. Let's hope that the Islamists agree.
This is a tender emotional subject for New Yorkers. Let's give them a break. ~ One Voice

Insurance Companies Hiking Rates

2010-08-11T20:18:00.000-07:00

The promises of cheaper insurance rates were a pipe dream. Insurance companies are raising their rates astronomically to prepare for the hits they will take when Obamacare goes into effect in 2014.
Yesterday Bill O'Reilly of Fox News stated he received his insurance bill and it jumped up $2100. He didn't mention which insurance company but according to his facts, they are all going to stick it to the people in advance of Obamacare so they can get back all the money they will lose in the future. He stated his yearly bill will be 20,000 dollars to insure 4 people. Like he said, "I can afford it, but what about the people who can't?"
Many Americans will be without health care. More and more people will be forced onto the government rolls. And, as more and more doctors refuse to accept Medicaid, the ER's will become even more overcrowded as people start using the ER's as a clinic. Obama wanted a public option and it looks like he's going to get it. Was that the plan all along? Force people onto the government plan whether they like it or not.
As this country becomes more and more socialized and we copy the Canadian/English health care plans, we soon won't be able to recognize the America that used to be the greatest country in the world.
Where did we go wrong? I'll tell you. The country was so against the Republicans and George Bush, they opted to take the other road and elected a Socialist. His smooth talking style fooled everyone from college kids to middle-aged America to the Media. He promised change and boy, did we get it. Change from middle/centrist beliefs to the far left agenda. If you've ever listened to Michael Savage, he calls liberalism "a mental disorder." Mr. Teleprompter spoke of change and the truth is, when he gets through with us, that's all we'll have left: change.
He is about to subject the middle class with the largest tax hike ever when he lets the Bush tax cuts expire. And all this talk about not raising taxes on the lower income people is just that, talk!
We are already being taxed through the whole insurance mess that he has created. That is how they get around not having a public option. They will say, "Oh, we didn't get the public option." It's all smoke and mirrors, folks. It's just disguised with a different name.
You may remember that I've said Obama is getting ready to "fix" his re-election by legalizing the Hispanics so they will vote for him. Even after the ACORN scandal, he is busy "fixing" it so even more people are registered by allowing Job and Family Services organizations to register voters. How can this be legal? Government employees who are handing out food stamps and welfare and saying "Don't forget to vote for Obama. He's giving you a helping hand. Now you have to help him."
If he wanted to help this country, Obama would stop allowing the states to send work out of the country, when we need jobs so desperately. But, instead he encourages his democratic governors to send work overseas, while Americans fight to meet their bills and stay in their homes. He wants us to be at the mercy of the government. That's all part of the master plan.
Why isn't he stopping the big insurance companies from giving their execs millions of dollars while allowing these companies to raise their rates so normal people cannot afford to secure insurance for their families without taking out a loan? And why is he protecting union leaders pensions while letting the workers lose more and more jobs and their own pensions?
George Bush was accused of protecting big business and allowing them to send jobs away. How is Obama any different? The comparisons are justified.
Don't get me wrong. While I didn't agree with George Bush on everything, I know in my heart that we would not be as bad off if he were still president. That's another trick of Obama's. He's still blaming Bush 2 years after he took office. What does that say about his integrity?
The mess that this country is in is on one man: Barack Hussein Obama. And it's just beginning. If Obamacare is not repealed, we will witness the destruction of the greatest medical system in the world. Let's not let him get away with it.
It's time for a change, all right. Take back our country NOW! ~ One Voice

The Public Option: Health Care Revisited

2010-07-23T18:37:00.000-07:00

I thought it was over. Health Care passed, much to my regret, and since our wonderful Congress didn't get exactly what they wanted, they're going to bring it up again. The Public Option, that was stricken from the original bill, is surfacing yet again thanks to the die hard democrats who will not be denied any chance to tax Americans to death.
I guess the thirteen trillion dollar deficit wasn't high enough to suit them. They haven't bankrupted this nation yet; but give them time, they will. The idiots who raised this latest ploy have the temerity to say "It will save us money." How dumb do they think we are?
They are determined to drive insurance companies out of business, thereby, taking over another industry so they can control us all. "We're going to save billions of dollars to pay down the deficit." If you buy that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
It never stops with these tax and spend thrift democrats. Spend, spend, spend, that's all they know how to do. They know that defeat is waiting for them in November, so they're going to ram through every piece of legislation that they want between now and then. And, apparently, there's nothing that can be done to stop them.
The government cannot manage any program they have created. And yet, this is the be all and end all of insurance plans. It will save the country from the evil big business-run insurance companies.
I got news for Pelosi and Reid. All of these laws you are passing will be repealed in the new year. Americans are sick and tired of Congress not listening to us. You cannot continue to ignore the will of the people. We do not want this plan; we did not want the last one either. And just because President Obama will still be in office doesn't mean he can veto the repeals. The House can override his vetoes. Because by that time, the Republicans will once again be in charge. And Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid will be but a bad memory.
They have shamed the Capitol with their shenanigans and plots to dismantle this country. It's time to show them who's really in charge: the people. ~ One Voice

Complacency Among the Republicans?

2010-07-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

Are the Republicans merely biding their time until November's elections? Sure of a landslide victory and visions of ruling the House and Senate once again, are they counting their chickens too soon?
Sitting back and doing nothing to block Democratic legislation is not the way to inspire loyalty among their constituents. Do they think that because they are incumbents that they will be a shoe in? They had better be watching what has happened so far. Very few incumbents are getting back in. People are sick and tired of business as usual in the Washington circle. By letting the Democrats have whatever they want, they are only buying trouble. This latest ploy may very well backfire in the end.
I'd like to believe that the Republicans are smarter than that. But to lie back and do nothing, making no effort to stop the Obama machine, may be viewed by their constituents are a big mistake.
With the Tea Party revolution putting forth more candidates for office, there is no guarantee that Republicans won't face the same fate as their esteemed colleagues across the aisle. Not all Republicans are winning their races. Hint: Don't take anything for granted. When you least expect it, defeat can be snatched from the hands of victory.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see the Republicans stage a large comeback, but complacency is not the answer. ~ One Voice

NAACP Takes on the Tea Party

2010-07-14T19:18:00.000-07:00

It's amazing the slings and arrows that are flying back and forth at the Tea Party. Charges of racism spread across the country like wildfire in a summer drought. The head of the NAACP is leading the race. Mr. Jealous (I wonder, is he?) is busy hurling accusations of racism and yet, no proof is given; no offenses cited.
We keep hearing about that incident in which a member of Congress was spit upon, but no witnesses ever saw it; no pictures or films ever surfaced showing the incident.
Granted, when you have a large group, you are bound to have a few radicals spring up, and those who do anything to denigrate persons of a certain color or religion, should be punished. But the majority of Tea Party advocates are wholesome Americans who want to return the country to its greatness and escape the far left thinking that put us in this mess of massive debt. And when questioned about the apparent racism within the NAACP, Mr. Jealous vehemently denies any such thing exists.
Not to call Mr. Jealous a liar; but he seems to be stretching the truth a bit. In any large group there are radical members who, by today's terminology, would be called racists. It's a fact of life.
The NAACP was founded to help the black people who were oppressed; the down and out black families who were persecuted and too poor to pull themselves up and get themselves out of the ghetto. The NAACP doesn't have much to complain about today. They are becoming stoic with no where to go. The militant black groups have taken over, unfortunately, and are getting all the attention in the black community.
Some of them are racists; those who stand and block the polls and prevent citizens from voting by acts of intimidation. But if a white person claimed those blocking the poll entrances were racists, the white people would be condemned.
Another example of the double standard when it comes to racism in this country. And those on the far left are quick to jump to their defense. No one can disagree with the left or we're called racists. So I guess that makes all conservatives racists. If that is the case, I am proud to be one.
Much is being heard from the New Black Panthers, the ones who intimidated the white people, wielding their nightsticks and threatening people, trying to keep them from voting in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, in 2008. The Department of Justice had a viable case against these men, but were told to drop the case. It is said this decree came directly from the White House with the edict: we will not prosecute blacks.(Already 2 whistelblowers are calling for an investigation and have quit their posts over this scandal.)
At the end of August, there will be a gathering in Washington D.C. to celebrate our founding fathers and the heroes this country has known, black and white, German, Jew, Native American. It is not a political event and yet, the NAACP and other black groups are trying to turn the event into a political statement. They have announced they will be there. They are incensed because this happens to be the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's march of freedom. According to them, we have the audacity to plan an event on the same day of the historic march on Washington. How sad this world has become.
For as long as we live, we will never be able to hold our events on any days when Martin Luther King or any other black leader did something. If we do, we will forever be identified as racists.
This is not the America I grew up loving. This is not the America I was taught to revere and honor. It's come down to a name calling society and we are not getting better. We are getting worse. Shame on this America! Shame on all those who hate America, yet continue to get rich on the backs of their brothers; shame on all those who think that violence and brother killing brother is the answer; and shame on all those men who want to destroy this country and turn it into a third world cesspool. That is not the America I want, and I will fight until I draw my last breath to keep that from happening. ~ Aunt Millie

Al Quaeda Attack Kills 74 in Uganda

2010-07-12T11:13:00.000-07:00

Amid talk of the NASA chief's new mission being to build up relations with the Muslims, here comes another attack from Al Quaeda. In a restaurant in Uganda, people were watching the final World Cup game when the restaurant was blown up.
It doesn't matter how much dialogue Obama pushes; no matter how many attempts at peace, when you are dealing with terrorists, you cannot reason with them; they are murderers.
I couldn't believe it when I heard that the newly appointed NASA chief's main responsibility would be to work to acknowledge the Muslims in fields of science and technology. Did you ever hear of a Muslim scientist furthering travel in space? Did you ever hear of scientific efforts going forward in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan?
These are the places that are built on the sand of the desert or mountainous rocks where people live in caves. Where will they be launching rockets?
Every day more bits of news trickle out of the White House that make me wonder how on earth this man ever got elected. Oh, yes, I forgot, we know how he got elected. With subterfuge and questionable groups like Acorn registering anyone and everyone to vote, saying things like "Oh, we got to vote for Obama." I actually heard this registration process happening in downtown Cincinnati. No qualifying documents were asked for. No registration or tax information was flashed. Just signatures going on the forms without any checking or verifying whether or not these people were citizens. By now we've pretty much seen all the exposes on Acorn. We know a great many members of that organization were manipulating the system.
But I digress. Ever since Obama was elected, our country has been put in harm's way, both economically and physically. While this Al Quaeda attack didn't happen on our soil, Americans were injured or killed. And our leader still wants to pat them on the back and be friends?
This is the third such attack since he took office or is it more? Perhaps I've lost count. You can't reason with terrorists, Mr. President. Terrorists are out to destroy this country. Or is that what you want too, Mr. Obama?
I've heard it said that people who hate this country are running it now. Perhaps that's true. Perhaps their aim is to destroy us from the inside out. We've heard a lot of blaming George Bush for everything from the economy to hurricanes. Here's one thing I do credit George Bush for: after 9/11 he kept us safe. You don't hear Obama giving him credit for that.
So the NASA chief, Bolden, will work on cozying up to the Muslims. And Obama will continue to apologize for the United States to anyone who will listen.
November is coming. Armageddon for the Democrats is at hand. As for me, I cannot wait. ~One Voice

Big Brother is Watching

2010-07-11T20:03:00.001-07:00

Eric Holder has said that the federal government will be watching Arizona's handling of the new immigration law to make sure they they don't engage in profiling. Here comes big brother trying to tell the states what they can and cannot do.
This blog has a list of the first ten amendments to the Constitution and if you look closely, the tenth amendment states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the State, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people."
If the government would not act to enforce the laws already passed at the federal level and the state saw fit to enact their own law to protect, and defend their state, can the government threaten their actions with a lawsuit?
The Constitution laid down the laws of this nation so that the government could not take away the rights and freedom of our country. It was a means of protection, divined by men much more intelligent and wiser than those who are attempting ti desecrate this precious document.
Isn't it amazing? We've just passed this nation's 234th birthday, and right on the heels of the celebrations, the Attorney General can go on television and announce his intentions to sue a state for trying to enact a law to save the people from thieves and vandals who threaten their safety in their own homes. More and more illegal aliens are crossing the border with guns and drugs, determined to get into this country.
All of us had ancestors who came to this country looking for a better life. And no one begrudges people in search of a better world - as long as they follow the rules and enter this country legally. As it is now, we are having to contend with more and more illegals who come here, either to work or to rob, pillage and kill Americans if they get in their way.
How many illegals who are guilty of violent crimes are sitting in our jails right now? We feed, clothe and house millions of them who have no other thought than to injure the people who live along the borders because these people dared to defend their land from drug runners and gang members. And how many terrorists are entering that we don't even know about who want to launch jihadist attacks on Americans?
Without border patrols, and the enforcement of laws to protect our citizens, how do we stop all of it?
Big Bother is out there watching us. The government we have today is run by no better men than those who creep across our borders wishing to do harm to Americans. If we let them get away with this, how long before they censor our words, or take our guns away, or tell us we can't go to church anymore?
It can happen just like that. We lose our economy and the country has no money or no food and we can very easily find the government taking over our lives. That's how Hitler took over Germany.
It can happen anywhere in the world, if we let it. The time has come to guard our freedoms from those who would oppress it. One day they'll tell us they're protecting the country by guarding what we say on the Internet and the next day, they'll tak the Internet away because it can be used against the United States.
Guard those freedoms while we can. And beware of Big Brother. We need to let stand up to those who want to denigrate the United States. Read those documents that were once so important to this country. Read about our forefathers and what these brilliant men did for us, and never forget the true meaning of America. ~ One Voice

Double Standards

2010-07-07T06:52:00.000-07:00

The government is suing Arizona for passing an immigration law. But they will not prosecute the two Black Panther members who intimidated white voters in the 2008 elections to prevent them from voting. This is clearly breaking the law.
Have you noticed that there seem to be two sets of laws for the Obama administration? Talk about racism!
There is clearly a double standard when it comes to Democrats and Republicans in office. If George W. Bush were in charge and he refused to prosecute those Black Panthers, all hell would have broken loose. The media would have been all over it. But no one is saying a word about this. When it was revealed that Chris Dodd took a sweet deal from Countrywide for favors, was he punished? No, it was pretty much a couple of comments on the evening news and just as quickly pushed into the background. When Tom DeLay was accused of misdeeds, his story was plastered all over every paper and TV station in the land. His career was ruined and he was threatened with jail time. To this day, nothing has been proven. And, in Chris Dodd's case, he conveniently decided to retire, not because his career was in ruins or that he was being prosecuted, but because he knew he had no chance of winning the next election.
Again, two sets of rules are in play.
It is a sad state of affairs that the people of this country let things like this happen and don't fight back against this kind of treachery.
You may remember a little while back that Nancy Pelosi called the CIA liars. Nothing came of that. Had it been a republican it would still be playing on the news until retribution was dealt out.
It is time that all Americans demand accountability equally among party representatives. If someone breaks the law, they need to pay for their crime.
By the same token, if any citizen commits a crime, he is arrested, tried, and serves time if he is found guilty. It is against the law to intimidate anyone to keep them from voting, black or white. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the law.
The Black Panthers broke the law and should be punished. Is Obama going to let every black person who commits a crime, escape justice?
All Arizona was doing was passing a law, just like the federal law on immigration that the government refuses to enforce that is already on the books. The only reason this is becoming an issue is because Obama wants to "legalize" all illegals so he can get their vote in the next election.
It's called Obama politics and he intends to win no matter what. Americans need to wake up and see him for what he is. It's time to stop the double standards of the political machine. I'm not just talking about Democrats either. Both sides have their faults. And it's up to us, as Americans, to stop this tide of unfairness. ~One Voice

Michael Steele: Should He Stay or Go

2010-07-05T17:53:00.000-07:00

Words spill out often before we can stop them. Before we think what they mean or who they will impact. Michael Steele's statements about the Afghanistan War were inappropriate to say the least. In saying that this war couldn't be won does a disservice to the men and women in uniform who are fighting to win. No soldier wants to hear that he's fighting for a lost cause.
Quickly thoughts of Vietnam jump into our heads. Nine years later and still fighting how can we not think of the quagmire of Vietnam? But to say to these brave young men and women that they are wasting their time; fighting a battle that will never be won is a ridiculous thing to say. Vietnam was a political war; and we now have a leader in place who won't let that happen, General Petreus. If those in power try to manipulate him, he will likely follow General McChrystal into retirement.
Many people are calling for Steele to step down as chairman of the Republican Party. He has a few advocates who are standing up for him, but the rancor in the party is growing. Can the Republicans afford to keep him as the election time is edging closer?
Can the Republicans survive the negative impact that Steele's comments could have on them? John McCain was interviewed and was quick to announce he was a "Reagan republican." Obviously an attempt to win votes away from his competition, J. D. Hayworth, as their primary grows closer. No one is fooled by such ploys.
Can we forgive the negative comments and gaffes from the chairman any easier than we do the gaffes of Joe Biden? Excuses are made continually by the behavior of the Vice President while Michael Steele is being hung out to dry.
I don't excuse these remarks, but are they any worse than "big f------ deal"? If I thought for one minute that one soldier would be placed in harm's way by his remarks, I would be the first one to demand he step down.
The fact that he put his foot in his mouth is pretty much standard operating procedure for the administration we have. It's happened early enough in the election season to be gone and forgotten by the time November rolls around. Of course, if the Obama run media has anything to do with it, they will continually bring this gaffe up to denigrate the Republicans.
It all comes down to the good of the party. Should he step down for the good of the GOP? If he doesn't and the party holds together and Republicans win big in November, this will all be forgotten. If the Democrats get back in, then, indeed, it will prove to have been a big _________deal.~ One Voice

Happy Birthday, America

The Declaration of Independence
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 them 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 an 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 to 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, pursing 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 so 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 endeavored 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 now hither swarms of Officers to harass 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 the 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 herein 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, destruction and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarian 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 inquiry. A Prince whose character is thus unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British 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 magnanimously, 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 rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name and by Authority of the good People of their Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right out 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.~ Thomas Jefferson

Illegal Alien Reform Legislation

2010-07-01T17:15:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama began his move to secure the elections today. His speech today proved what we've been saying all along: he will use amnesty to secure the elections in his favor.
If you watched his expression and that half smile sneer as he looked into the camera, you could see his insincerity. He doesn't give a damn about illegals and the plight of America. The only reason he wants to now talk about border security and amnesty is so he can use the illegals to help him win elections. He doesn't have a sympathetic bone in his body for these people.
Arizona's law is about to take effect later this month and up until this time, he's given no inclination to engage; no effort for the federal government to do anything. He reluctantly provided 1200 National Guard members for the border, not even half of what was asked for.
Representatives of the federal government say that this law will result in lawsuits for discrimination; that racial profiling will be used. The law is clear that police cannot stop anyone and question their citizenship UNLESS they break the law and are investigating a crime.
Again, Obama is merely using the illegals to save his job. It's just another example of using his Chicago style of politics to ram through yet another piece of legislation that America doesn't want. The Arizona law stands because it is what the majority of people in that state want.
It looks like Obama will be going on another whirlwind tour to convince the public that amnesty is the answer; worker programs are the answer. Dividing families is not the answer to this dilemma.
Worker programs will not work because when the job is finished, the workers won't leave and go back to Mexico or wherever else they've migrated from. In the meantime, the illegals will continue to drain the coffers of Social Security and Medicare. And Americans who have worked for those benefits, will be denied them because those funds will be all used up long before they were supposed to run out.
Watch for this new legislation to be in place before November. It's his last ditch effort to hold on to the House and Senate for his party. ~ One Voice

The Hiring and Firing of a General

2010-06-26T09:29:00.000-07:00

In the war of political opinion, Obama is playing hard ball. He's fighting for his political life. As the polls decline even further, he rises to the occasion by firing his lead General in the Afghanistan War. He accepted General McChrystal's resignation and instead of lecturing him and forgiving his indiscretion, he accepts and fires him. And immediately replaces him with General Petreus.
Obama was forced into a corner by McChrystal's behavior, by his disagreeing with the Commander in Chief in print. And as the pundits have observed, He had no choice but to let the good general go.
But what was McChrystal thinking? To be so open with a hack reporter, so openly pro-leftist, without the usual "off the record" in place, of course, the reporter was going to print what he said. Bad judgment all around. And so, the General is gone. And in many ways, this may be a good move for him. He's been there for 9 years. Now he can move on with his life and put the war behind him.
General Petreus has been named to succeed as Chief Commander in this lengthy war. While this is the longest war the American people have ever been engaged in, let's not forget how we ended up there. And that reason, is still at large. Perhaps the military has given up hope of ever capturing Bin Laden or maybe he's already dead. Now, the man once ridiculed by the left as "General Betray Us" is promoted to carry on the campaign. With Obama calling the shots and promising to pull out the military by June, 2011, aren't his hands tied militarily? Is it Vietnam all over again? Can we win or will the political leaders of our country play the same seesaw battle that prevented Vietnam from becoming a victory?
Only time will tell. But, truth be told, Obama will not tolerate what he considers to be insubordination. It's his way or the highway as General McChrystal found out. To disagree with Obama is tantamount to treason. We'll see if General Petreus fares any better under Obama's tutleage.
Fighting to keep the Afghan's free of the Taliban's diabolic rule, is a noble effort, but the military must be allowed to do their jobs. So far, I don't see any sign of Obama letting that happen.

Oil Upon The Waters

2010-06-08T07:32:00.000-07:00

Who would have thought that the Gulf oil spill would still be spewing after more than a month? It is easy to lay blame on BP or the government. But instead of finger pointing, shouldn't BP and the government be working hand in hand to fix the problem?
Instead of charging BP with criminal offenses, why isn't the administration putting every agency at BP's disposal to fix this situation?
There are many questions to ask after the matter has been resolved, but until then, what is wrong with working together for a common goal? My heart breaks for the wildlife and the destruction of our landscape. But where are the outcries from the wildlife agencies? Whenever we have natural disasters, like the Haiti earthquakes, America rushes forth, holding telethons to raise money for aiding those in need. Who is stepping forth now to help those who cannot help themselves; those who are mired in the oil and are dying by the thousands. All I hear is silence. Where is PETA? Where is the National Wildlife Society?
As the people of the south are once again devastated, their careers dealt a knockout blow that they may never recover from, where is the outrage? Where are the celebrities offering to raise money for them? It's very quiet out there.
America is busy laying blame to the oil companies and Obama stands around looking at bubbles of oil rushing up our pristine beaches with no passion for what is happening to our country. All he can think about is blaming the oil company.
They do have questions to answer, to a lot of people and the blame is squarely on their shoulders, but let's resolve the problem; plug the leak before we start the seesaw game of whose fault the leak is. Let's save our wildlife, our sea creatures, before they are depleted by yet another man-made disaster.
My question is this: Is there no one in this whole United States of America, no engineers, no scientists, who know how to plug a leak under water? Is there no means of vaccuuming up the oil? Granted, the leak is miles deep, and whose fault is that? Obama has to bear the responsiblity of setting the rules for off shore drilling. The environmentalists who brought the off shore specifications have made it impossible for the resolution to this problem and must share in some of the blame. If the leak were closer to the surface, we know if would have been repaired by now and the devastation would not have been as bad.
The answer is not to stop off shore drilling. The answer is setting laws and guidelines that will allow the extraction of oil without putting our shores and the wildlife therein in jeopardy.
And yes, to find better fuel options. They want to make cars that don't use oil as fuel. But there are other options as well: clean coal technology. President Bush brought this up but no one would listen. Yes, it would take time, but if they had started 4 or 5 years ago, we'd be halfway there by now.
There is enough blame to go around. But will America learn from this? Let's hope so. We have received a blow just as devastating as the attacks of 9/11. Will the people of Lousiana, Mississippi. Alabama, and Florida recover? Only time will tell. The seafood industry has been dealt a crippling blow. It will take years to recover from his tragedy, if we ever do. ~ One Voice

Obama: Unpatriotic American?

2010-05-25T17:50:00.000-07:00

How sad that it has come down to this: Obama is going home to be with friends on Memorial Day weekend. He's thumbing his nose at the military, the Gold Star Mom's and all that this country reveres so he can be with friends in Chicago. Shove off the laying of the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (let Vice President Biden handle it. Maybe he won't catch his foot in the wreath and fall down, or worse, insert his size 12's in his big mouth again. Shove the Gold Star Mom's breakfast off on Biden, after all, what does Obama care if they lost their sons or daughters in the war. God forbid he should have to stand up there and pretend once more that he cares about the military and their service to America.
Congratulations, Mr. President, you will be the first President to snub the military by ignoring them on this special day. This alone should serve as grounds for impeachment. After all these men and women gave their lives, all that is required of Obama is to give a little time; time he would much rather spend with friends instead of the military, who he despises.
How obvious can it be? Shame of you, Mr Obama, for ignoring the men and women who gave so much for so many and you can't give them a day of honor because you want to party with friends.
It's a sure bet that this slap in the face to the military will not be ignored. The hatred this man has for this country is so apparent. He announced he's sending troops to the borders, not because he believes in the cause but because he was shamed into it by members of the Senate. They asked for 6,000 and he's giving them 1,200.
So while the rest of the nation is watching the Memorial Day festivities, listening to the strains of the military theme songs, our hears swelling with pride, Obama will be missing, enjoying himself in his home town with his friends. I wonder if Bill Ayers and Reverand Jeremiah Wright will be partying with Obama. Aren't they his friends, too? Remember, Mr. President, you are judged by the company you keep. Personally, I'd much rather hang out with brave men and women who stands tall and defend their country than mingle with anarchists and communists. I'd rather take pride in my country and salute the flag than pay tribute to a man whose only aim is to destroy the country we love. Long live America! Long live the men and women of the military! And God Bless the Gold Star Mothers for their love and sacrifice.

The Making of a Hero Out of a Terrorist

2010-05-06T11:29:00.000-07:00

The nation's newspapers, in particularly, the New York Times and The New York Post, are running all kinds of stories, not to mention the leftist media, about the latest terrorist to try to attack the city of New York, in which they are trying to turn an enemy into a victim.
It is a sad day in America when those who attempt to kill Americans are gifted with a kind of heroism. The attempt to make excuses for Faisal Shahzad's behavior is asinine. "He had a foreclosed home." He couldn't make his house payments, but he could afford to make 13 flights to Pakistan? Gee, we really should feel sorry for him. He became a citizen (naturalized) a few months ago. Was that so he could slip under the radar? Maybe.
The leftist media idealogues are quick to make excuses for another terrorist's attempts to kill Americans. This is asinine behavior on the part of the Media. But why should we be surprised when we have a leader who refuses to admit they are enemy combatants who continue to attack us?
It's only by dumb luck that this individual was caught. Because of the vigilance of a former Viet Nam vet street vendor who was paying attention many lives were saved. I don't hear the Media giving thanks where thanks is due.
This man should have been flagged as a suspicious long ago, yet Homeland Security didn't find him until this past week? On a "do not fly" list and no one notices until the cameras nabbed him as he fled the scene of the attempted strike?
But to hear the Media tell it, this man was the victim; his house was in foreclosure; he was under a lot of pressure. Do these idiotic Media types ever hear themselves speak? Can they be this stupid?
You have to wonder. When the police and FBI finally started moving on this, they were able to nab him, although he was already on a plane, headed for his escape to Dubai and onto Pakistan where cohorts were found waiting for him. This whole episode should have never gone this far.
Poor guy! The pressure must have drove him to retaliate against the country that is the ultimate enemy of everyone in the world; the country who took him in and gave him a better life than he could have known in the third world cesspool he came from.
These terrorists are infiltrating us; working from the inside to wreak havoc on the citizens of this country in their fight in this holy war.
We certainly don't need the Media trying to find excuses for them. And we certainly don't need a leader of this country refusing to call them terrorists when that is what they are: Terrorists with a capital T.
Shame on the Media yet again. ~ One Voice

Arizona's Illegal Immigration Reform Law

2010-04-28T03:59:00.000-07:00

"When in the course of human events..." With no help from Washington offered to relieve the horrible plight of the illegal immigration woes of Arizona, the state acted with its own best interests at heart. It is not a perfect law, but they did what they felt they had to do. After continually asking for federal help and receiving nothing, the governor of the state and the state government enacted a law to help alleviate the vast problem of all the illegals racing across the border and reigning terror on the people of the state.
Who can blame them? While federal help was not forthcoming, they are quick to line up to attack this bold move. Eric Holder, Attorney General is threatening to sue the state. The ACLU is lining up to take action because they are being unfair to illegals, infringing on their civil liberties. And from both parties in Washington, we hear nothing but silence.
What has happened to this country that illegal aliens who come across the border to wreak havoc and commit atrocities against our people receive more rights than our own citizens? God forbid we should do any profiling against people breaking the law!
Of course, Obama who has been silent during the pleading for help, has suddenly finding his voice and coming forward with all kinds of plans and opinions about the illegal aliens situation. Oh, the hypocrites, so quick to condemn the state for their action when they failed to take any or to even acknowledge the state's problems. Where were they during all the murders, the kidnappings, the drug wars?
As millions of illegal aliens come here and enjoy the benefits of freedom and get the benefits the rest of us have all worked for, our own citizens are being warned that Social Security is in trouble; Medicare/Medicaid is in trouble. Of course it is, it is being used up at an alarming pace by the illegals who come here for a handout.
They need to be kicked out of this country and if they want to come back, do so legally. Sure, this will break up some families, but they should have thought about this before they broke the law. And for Obama and his administration to back the illegals instead of our own speaks volumes of what kind of people we have elected.
70% of the people of Arizona back this state legislation. Something must be done. If the federal government won't act, then it's time the states step forward and take a hand in running things.
Obama is all about taking over this country, and remaking it. Why doesn't he offer real reform? Because he can't afford to anger the illegals. He's counting on making them all citizens so he can skew the elections in his favor come November and 2012.
Who would have thought that 300 years after our country was born, it would take one man to dismantle America.
Unfortunately, Americans need to stand up and fight for our freedom all over again. The very thing that our forefathers fought to give us is being threatened again, this time from within. Wake up, America. Vote for change in Washington. ~One Voice

Anti-Tea Party Rants

2010-04-17T08:55:00.000-07:00

Protest rallies have been a part of our culture for generations, dating all the way back to the Revolution era. The original protesters, that handful of citizens who stood up and fought for their beliefs are responsible for the freedom we hold dear today.
Generations later, the protests of the sixties against the Viet Nam war raged on, defacing the military heroes who returned home. The left was all for this "freedom of speech."
The Tea parties that have sprung up all over this country are the newest form of freedom of speech. But now, the left is against them. They fear us. They were all for the right to protest for their causes but now the shoe is on the other foot. The right was to protest what they see as unfair taxation, among other things, and that is their right.
And for former President Clinton to be denigrating our efforts is a slap in the face. Trying to liken our peaceful protests to what happened at the Oklahoma federal building bombing is asinine. And he of all people, should cast stones at anyone? How soon they forget the cloud of embarrassment that hung over his oval office a few years back.
The effort of Tea Party people will become more important as we grow closer to the elections. They are not going away; their efforts will only strengthen and grow as more people become dissatisfied with the current administration's efforts to make a joke of us; to brand us as ungrateful, and "AstroTurf", making fun of our grassroots effort. Let them ridicule us; let them make jokes, but it is the grassroots campaign of Americans who will unseat those in power and we will have the last laugh as Democrats pack their bags to go home.
State run media outlets are beginning to cover our efforts; our efforts have indeed had a strong impact as the left has put out "infiltrators" to get into the Tea Party and denigrate us from within. We will not let them denigrate us anymore than we will let the left win in November. The battle lines have been drawn and we will stand firm in our effort to demonstrate to Washington our desire to be heard.
Nothing has worked so far. The Democrats who ridicule us; those who have sold out will face our retribution in the fall. No, we are not violent, though the press is trying to say we are (those are the infiltrators at work); our right to protest the wrong we see going on in Washington is our right.
The don't have to accept us; but they do have to accept the will of the people in this country; once more our voice will be heard loudly at the ballot box.
Won't you join in the effort to rid our country of those in power who will not listen to the will of the people?
They left has had to do everything in their power to distract from our mission; but we are being heard by millions of Americans who, like us, are sick and tired of Washington not listening to us. They will trot out Clinton because at one time his charisma would charm the birds out of the trees, but his day is past. And he has many sins the right has not forgotten.
In November, there will be a new Contract with America and the Tea Parties efforts will be rewarded by victory. Be on the winning side and cast your vote for America.

A Question of Racism

2010-04-07T07:44:00.000-07:00

It seems we will never be free on the term "racism." We are deemed racists if we disagree with a black President on his policies. We are racists if we protest health care reform; we are racists if we disagree with this administration's handling of foreign policy; we are racists if we exercise our rights to freedom of choice if we are not choosing to support programs that will certainly lead our nation into bankruptcy.
Where is the cry of outrage against this misnomer? Who stole our freedom when we weren't looking? This government is all about stealing our freedoms and controlling our lives. The time has come to fight back.
This government is demeaning all that we hold dear. The right to demonstrate our grievances, Ala the Tea Party movement, has been branded as a group of racists and bigots. Are we soon to lose the right to dissent? Why don't all Americans see this as "Big Brother?" Are they blind? Do they not care? Why is this not racism?
Folks, you'd better be scared for your country. People like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin are fighting for you. Are you willing to listen to their pleas? Are you ready for real change?
We have to dig our heels in and fight for what we believe in. The Constitution that was created by our forefathers is there for a reason. To protect us against those who would take our nation apart and rebuild it into a socialistic country.
Racism is a bad thing. But when it is mislabeled and cried out for the wrong reasons, it is ignored. Cry wolf and no one listens after a while.
Let's make these charges work in our favor. Fight back with your vote. Get involved in electing new blood in Washington. I'm not saying that Republicans have all the answers, but what we have now sitting in Washington is a bunch of socialists who want to demoralize this nation and turn it into a state run government. Don't let that happen. Take a positive approach and let your voice be heard. Make this a nation we can be proud of again. And let's bury the term racism forever. ~ One Voice

Drill, Baby, Drill

2010-03-31T19:57:00.000-07:00

Today the president offered a new initiative for off shore oil drilling. Off Florida, Off Texas and Alaska. Is this a shift in his position to center right? Or is it merely a ploy for re-election?
Off shore drilling is a good idea; using the resources we have will not harm anything except drive the cost of a barrel of oil down. Of course, when George Bush did this, a cry from all the global warming enthusiasts arose castigating him as the Great Criminal.
Unfortunately, California has not bought into this plan. For a state that is nearly backrupt, they need to view all options to pull themselves out of the mire. In only 5years time they could be out of the hole and solvent once more.
My question about Obama's sudden shift is valid. Why does he suddenly take a sharp turn from his leftist ideas? You know the left is going to be jumping all over him on this. So what does he hope to gain? Numbers, that's the bottom line. The public is angry that he went against their wishes on health care where 73% opposed his bill's passage. Now he's doing a one-eighty away from the far left agenda, and doing something that makes sense to conservatives. Is it a trick?
Or does he really want to sink the conservationists? Only time will tell.
Me? I'm not buying it. He's trying to win back voters to his side. That 52% of voters who elected him in 2008 have scattered like ducks in a blind.
Where Obama has gone wrong is thinking the American people will forgive his stubbornness on health care; not so fast, Mr. President. The American people are smarter than you give them credit for. If you're trying trickery to win back their support, it's not going to fly. America is wise to you now.
They want change; the kind of change you promised and didn't deliver. They want jobs; they don't want government running their lives. They respect and honor the Constitution; they want to preserve the America our forefathers founded. They want to keep freedom; not let government control big business.
So change is coming, Mr. President. Come November your majority will disappear; and America will have spoken, loud and clear. ~ One Voice

Fear Among The Masses

2010-03-24T17:38:00.000-07:00

Fear will do a lot of things. It can bring out the best and worst reactions among the people. It has come to light that several members of Congress have been threatened, spit upon, and cursed because they voted for the health care reform bill that is now law.
This is inexcusable behavior by anyone. But what has prompted such behavior? My theory is fear lies behind this behavior. People are frightened by what is happening in this country. The government is intruding into our lives at a rapid pace. Big brother is looking over our shoulders and into our homes. The Internal Revenue Service has hired 16,000 new employees to do just that. They are going to spy on us and fine us if we don't get insurance. Or if they don't like the insurance we have, they will make us change. And if you ask a government representative about this, they skate all around and deny what they are doing.
When the United States government totally ignores the wishes of millions of Americans and goes ahead and enacts legislation that infringes on the rights of every American to live free and make their own decisions, they are asking for a few radicals to indulge in bad behavior patterns. That doesn't mean the whole group of well behaved protesters should be blamed.
Fear can cause people to react in a myriad of ways. When these people see the country they loved being taken over against their will, some of these people will react negatively. While I don't condone their behavior, who can blame them? The true blame should be laid at Obama's door for creating this world into which he's thrust Americans.
It is he who has ignored the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is he who is making laws when the Congress states that only the Congress can make laws. No, I'm not talking about the health care reform bill, but rather his writing of the executive order to keep abortion funds out of the new plan, which we all know is a lie. Abortion funds come to each state via the government. They may call these funds something else but they will pay for abortions.
And so fear grips America for what is to come: more socialistic programs in which the government takes control of our lives. Even as we speak, states are suing the federal government over the unconstitutionality of the health care reform bill.
30 plus states are joining in this fight. The health care legislation is as corrupt as those who voted for it.
The people of America are banding together to fight the Democrats and this administration. I predict that record numbers will be going to the polls in November to vote in the next election. You're going to hear cries of Take Back America all over this country. And I am proud to be among those who will be shouting it as loud as I can. ~ One Voice

Pelosi's Next Target

2010-03-22T19:09:00.000-07:00

The election fix is about to be implemented. Nancy Pelosi's next move will be to legalize millions of illegal aliens and make them citizens of the United States. This is to secure their votes come November so that they can prevent the influx of Republicans slated to overrun the House and Senate.
ACORN is being disbanded and re-introduced under new names and Obama will make certain they get federal funding once more, securing his return for a second term. The fix is in, folks. The takeover of this country is underway.
Our freedom will be history. Most of the nation who was against health care reform is feeling betrayed today. And very depressed at the outcome. Not only did those politicians who vouchsafed never to vote for a bill that contained funding for abortions cave, but our Catholic church also turned on us, okaying such a move "for the greater good."
I am very disillusioned right now. To the point where I am once again questioning my faith and wondering what is the point if they can cave to the leftists who are vilifying this country. Is the church run by leftists, Marxists and Communists? People who hate the United States and the freedom that we have always held dear, are now running this country. And we have no recourse at present.
We can say we'll vote them out, but will we? Once the fix is in we won't be able to overcome millions of aliens who will be so grateful to Obama that they will promise their votes in return. Not only will they outvote us, but they will be stealing what's left of our social security benefits.
This is a frightening time to be alive as our constitution is ripped apart and the door to freedom is slammed shut like a steel trap.
It seems so easy to say, "Vote them out." But what if they won't go? What if they dismantle our Constitution and Bill of Rights? That's the real fear now. They've already got the insurance industry. How long before they shut down the TV and radio stations and replace everything with state run programming? They also already have in place the means for wealth sharing. That's Communism in case you don't recognize the term.
I'm telling you we're in the throes of a Communistic take over and it has just begun. When you see millions of people march on Washington to voice their opinions, and they are shut down and ignored; only the will of the state counts; only Obama's rules will be obeyed. What does it sound like to you?
While we grouse and grumble about the health care bill, Pelosi has probably already moved on to the next agenda which is immigration reform.
While you still can, voice your opinions and don't let them beat us. They will try to squirm out from under our accusations; don't let them. While we still have freedom of speech, let the world know how you feel. And keep fighting these Democrats who have run amok. ~ One Voice

Sad Day for America

2010-03-21T20:48:00.000-07:00

Socialized health care has come to America! From the best health care system in the world to third world country status in one fell swoop. Thanks to the Democratic string pulling and under handed dealings in DC we will be drowned in poverty and the government will be running our lives.
I am immediately emailing all the Republican candidates that will be running in November and offering my help and assistance. Anyone who voted for this bill is both corrupt and insane. To all those who took payoffs and bribes, bye bye.
I am overjoyed that the Right to Life organization that was going to honor Rep. Stupak this coming Wednesday, has withdrawn this event. They also stated that they would not support any election for anyone who voted for the health care bill. I stand behind their decision 100%.
Despite the efforts of the Tea Party and the millions who said 'no' to this debacle, The Democratic party voted to pass this legislation. Despite the fact that they will be passing down years of debt to their children and grandchildren. The arrogance of Obama will be worse than ever now. Now that he has his "foot" in the door, he will change this bill to completely shut down insurance companies. There will be no increase in jobs, but for the government. The rest of the work force will not be able to afford to provide insurance for their employees and the government will take over. More out of work people. But they'll have health care! As they draw their unemployment and food stamps, they can go to clinics, that is, if there are any doctors who will treat them.
I work for a medical facility that does not take Medicaid. What will happen next? Will they force medical facilities to take Medicaid, even though the reimbursement is next to nothing? Only time will tell.
But one thing is certain. Nancy Pelosi will be gone in November. Because she and the other idiots who voted for health care reform are history.
Jump on the bandwagon now and start the campaign to rid this country of the traitors who now sit in power.
Contact John Kasich, Steve Chabot, and the other Republicans who will be running in November and offer your support. Take America back and fight to repeal this horrendous bill that will ruin America for all time. ~One Voice

CBO's Skewed Numbers

2010-03-18T12:13:00.000-07:00

They've been waiting for it for days. The Congressional Budget Office's budget numbers for the Obamacare plan. The numbers are skewed. Is no one in Washington honest?
The figure listed for Medicare is counted twice. The millions being cut from Medicare are what it would take to fix it. This figure is listed again because this amount is being taken from Medicare and used to fund the new program. Americans everywhere are sick and tired of this subterfuge, especially seniors. A bus load of them came up to DC from Florida today and were pummeling their reps verbally as they chased after them down the halls of their office building. Okay, so I wasn't there and don't know if they actually chased them, literally, but they were giving them what for, I am sure. Seniors are not happy that the money they paid for Medicare is being given away to fund another program while their benefits are being cut. The CBO is aware of the discrepancies involved with Medicare/Medicaid and what the president is saying. He keeps denying that Medicare will be cut. Talk to the people on the Medicare program and they will tell you different. They have first hand knowledge of what is being paid and what is not. More and more cancer patients are being turned down for treatment because Medicare won't pay. There is going to be a revolt in this country like you've never seen before, Mr. President. And just remember who started this ball rolling.
As we speak, more Tea Party advocates are calling for a mass invasion of DC on Saturday to convene on the Capitol steps at noon. I wish with all my heart that I could be there. Rep. King from Iowa is spearheading this event. I wish him godspeed in achieving a mass turnout. In the meantime, people are calling the Congressional offices to voice their opinions against the bill. Rush Limbaugh gave out the switchboard numbers as most representatives and senators have their phones blocked where they cannot accept any more messages. Those numbers are: 1-877-762-8762 or 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121.
Supposedly, the bill is posted on line. If you can find it and read it, great. I searched all afternoon and couldn't find it. Read it and try to understand what they will do to you.
One of the provisions allows a child up to 26 years old to be covered on the parent's policies. That allows someone living at home, not working and lying around the house to receive the same benefits as someone who works like a demon and pays full price for his insurance. Seem fair to you? Call, call, call!!!!
Now, the speaker of the house has been accused in Congress of malfeasant behavior by bending the rules of law to achieve passage of this bill by the third highest Republican. Of course, the Democrats tabled this measure.
There will be hell to pay for Congress in the coming months as constituents get ready to fire their Congressional employees.
November, or house cleaning season, cannot get here soon enough! ~ One Voice

The Marxist Plan Disguised as Health Care Reform

2010-03-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

It is coming, the Marxist plan masquerading as health care reform. This is the beginning of the unraveling of America. If anyone gets in Obama's way, he'll buy them off. The dictator will not be denied his vision for the country. He just bought Dennis Kuchinik with a ride on Air Force One and who knows how many other things. The hypocrite who stood up in front of the world saying he would vote "no" rolled over for the President after criticizing all the others who took bribes. Today, when he gave his announcement, he stood there in front of a wall that was the same brown shade as his suit, so he could quickly fade back into oblivion after his five minutes of fame.
America, you must look beyond this health care measure to the big picture. I've seen several clips played today that show the president talking about one payer options, a fact that he continues to deny. The real goal here is to start a system that they can continue to manipulate until they have full control over this country.
Think about where all this is coming from. Obama was abandoned by his father so dad could pursue a Marxist education. Then his mother left him to study more Marxist teachings. His grandfather had him schooled in the "little red schoolhouse" that was known to preach Marxist ideas. Then he surrounded himself with friends and colleagues that were known Marxists, like Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright. How could he sit in his pew for 20 years and not have any of this Marxist dialogue sink in? When Obama talks about getting their foot in the door with health care, the next step is to align the income of Americans by equal distribution. It's coming as sure as the sun is coming up tomorrow.
Obama's goal is to turn this nation into Canada; he's referenced that several times. If their health care is so great, why do doctors come to this country for surgery? And what happen when this country passes Obama's version of health care? The New England Journal of Medicine has predicted that one third of the doctors licensed today will resign. That's a pretty sound statement from a reliable source. And Americans? What do they think? The latest poll shows that 73% of Americans do not want this reform. Yes, they want health care reform, but they do not want this plan. Obama doesn't care. It's his way or else.
If this plan goes through, it's the first step in taking over America and turning it into a Marxist country. We can't let that happen.
Contact the blue democrats and let them know how you feel. Inform your representatives and senators that you will not stand for them if they stand for this bill. We need to stop this bill now. We need to stop Obama now. And the only way to do that is to defeat this measure before they force it through. The Congress is made up of arrogant men and women who don't think we will follow through with our threats to vote them out of office. Don't let them get away with this. Stand up for America. Stand up for your rights while you still have them.~ One Voice

Tea Parties Unite Once More to Defeat Obama

2010-03-12T16:09:00.000-08:00

As Congress gets ready to decide the fate of health care reform, the Tea Parties across America are banding together for an all out war. These are not radical protesters. They are concerned citizens who are sick and tired of Obama forcing his programs down their throats. Most of America is satisfied with their health care plans.
We do not want another government run program. The government's track record at managing programs is not very good. They've bankrupted social security and medicare, why should we trust them to run another program?
So tea parties are gearing up for the fight of their lives. They are actively campaigning against any and all who vote for this bill. Ohio has a very active tea party. More and more chapters are springing up all across the state; and the whole nation is following suit.
As we speak, another march is being planned to arrive in Washington on March 16. A mass influx of Americans will be arriving bearing signs and camping on the Capitol steps to let Congress know once more how they feel about the health care bill.
Buses will arrive from all over the country and fill the Capitol city with irate citizens for a final protest before the vote.
The tea parties will keep the pressure on our elected officials and come November all of America will let its voice be heard loud and clear. Anyone who votes for this bill goes down.
America is finally waking up. And it will not be politics as usual; new blood is needed in Washington. And one way or another, we will get it.
If you live in the Cincinnati area, and aren't traveling to D.C., on March 16, we are having our own rally. Fox News' Sean Hannity will be appearing at the Fifth Third Center on the University of Cincinnati campus. Come out and join the fun as the tea party rallies right here in our hometown. ~One Voice

Same Song, Different Year

2010-03-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

How many times do we have to hear it? Another speech about health care over a year into the administration with no job relief in sight. Like a needle stuck in a broken record he goes on and on with his campaigning for health care.
When will he get the message? We have Massa resigning because of yet another scandal in the Democrat party who insists he was set up because he refused to vote for the health care plan.
We have a war going on within the confines of Congress over this mess. Pelosi doesn't have the votes so far, but then she has a way of blackmailing Congress members to get her way. We have the Louisiana Purchase and the Corn husker Kickback already on the record.
People have been trying to reach the Congressmen and women telling them to vote no and some are telling them to vote yes. Their constituents overwhelmingly want this bill to go down. And each one knows if they turn against their constituents, they go home.
It's a mess and Obama is right in the middle of it, pulling strings, motivated to buy off those in opposition. He is willing to sacrifice fellow Democrats just to get his way.
This is going to be interesting to watch. The damned are about to die on the battlefield of their country for a cause their leader deems to be more important than putting America back to work.
As jobless rates climb, they try to spin it and deliberately ignore the true numbers, manipulating them to reflect their cause. More than a year into this administration, no relief has been found as America plunges deeper into a recession. The Obama camp insists the economy is getting better but how can it be when no one is working on putting people back to work? Keeping America in poverty seems to be the Obama goal. It plays right into his plans to "control" America and bend this country to his will, which is to turn capitalism into socialism. That's why he's pushing so hard to remake health care. He wants us under his thumb so the state run government can control every aspect of our lives.
They have tried to give the Tea Party a bad name because they know that if this movement gains more power, this administration is history.
Desperation has taken over this administration as Raum Emanuel, the chief thug in charge, puts pressure on the legislators to vote his way or else.
This is Chicago style politics at its finest, folks! Shades of Al Capone; all we need are the automatic weapons drawn. They've become that desperate to get their way.
Manipulation of the vote with behind the scene deals is the business of the day.
And Obama is out their trumpeting his cause, costing this country more money that it already doesn't have as he flies around the country pleading his cause.
The Tea Parties are doing their best to get out the message. Call, write and email your congressmen and women to vote against this health care bill. If you can get through. Many have turned off their phones and won't listen to the pleas to stop the bill.
Bring on November so we can clean house! Republicans and Democrats alike need to go home. We are tired of the travesty of them not listening to "we the people."

Healthcare: Want it or not

2010-02-28T17:05:00.000-08:00

Obama is going to ram through his health care plan whether we want it or not. We already knew this was his plan, despite the fact he agreed to a sit down with both Democrats and Republicans. Even though we all knew it was an exercise in futility, he went ahead and wasted every one's time, just as we knew he would.
Nancy Pelosi, on this morning's This Week in Washington, could not give any logical reasoning behind this move, just reiterated that we must pass health care now. I'm not sure who is the puppet here, her or Obama, but I've always believed she was the one running the presidency.
How sad that they just don't get it! The will of the people is being ignored. As more and more organizations are springing up to let the will of the people be heard, the Democrats are going down in defeat this November and Mrs. Pelosi may be among them. Organizations are funding candidates that will make a change in Washington, including striking down this massive legislation that will certainly bankrupt this country.
We cannot afford to add more trillions in debt to this faltering economy. The tax and spend Democrats cannot conceive that people are just fed up and refuse to take it anymore.
Mrs. Pelosi cannot even make a decision about removing Charlie Rengel from his committee chairmanship because of his illegal dealings. While he's busy making excuses, blaming his staff, she ignores the issue. Perhaps she thinks it will go away if she ignores it. And this is a demonstration of leadership?
As the debt continues to grow, Americans have said NO in a resounding voice.
Maybe the first Wednesday in November will have them whistling a different tune. And let's hope by then, it's too late for them to do anything but pack their bags. ~ Once Voice

Smoke and Mirrors

2010-02-25T11:08:00.000-08:00

The big summit between the Democrats and Republicans and Obama is taking place as I sit to write this commentary. It is a ploy from Obama to show the world he is willing to negotiate with Republicans to get the health care initiative passed. It's more of the same. Make it look like he is willing to negotiate when the opposite is true.
Make republicans continue to look like the party of no.
I hope they do continue to hold their ground. They should be the party of no if that means defeating Obama's dastardly plans to discriminate against the seniors of this country by taking away benefits that they neeed to survive. The party of tax and spend Democrats is not willing to listen to anything the Republicans have to say. So this is nothing more than a political ploy to trap the Republicans into looking bad. No matter how many ideas the Republicans have, they are no good. Nancy Pelosi has already stated they are not interested in starting over. That is not an option. So why perform this exercise in futility?
Obama is trying to make Americans see that Republicans are against them. However, no matter how many primaries are held and Democrats are defeated, they don't get the message. Americans are against this health care plan. Millions of Americans have demonstrated that they do not want this plan.
Obama's poll numbers keep going down; 56% of Americans disapprove of his job performance. Still he doesn't get the message. Americans want jobs; put Americans back to work then talk about health care options. Scrap the health care bill as it stands now and rework it to include tort reform and other options that will help Americans like re-instating benefits for seniors. If it's passed the way it stands now, it will only add to the deficit and not help anyone. Don't pass this legislation on the backs of senior citizens who will be denied health care because they are older. No one is denying that we need to have health care reform, but not the current bill.
As the exercise in futility continues, Obama stands firm. He espouses to want to work with the Republicans and he is lying, America. He is only interested in the deomocratic plan and he is stubbornly clinging to his ideas. He will never back down. And that's okay. Because his support base is already shrinking; come November it's going to shrink a whole lot more.
Obama's summit is resulting in nothing but a waste of time for Congress and more importantly, for the American people. I would have loved to have seen the Republicans walk out on this travesty, rather than sit there and be humiliated by the Democrat's arrogance. Because Obama is never going to budge. No matter how many ideas they present; no matter how much they try to reason, their efforts will be ignored.
Does anyone in Congress remember the rallies of this past summer when Americans bared their souls to get these Congressional representatives to listen to what they want? No, they don't remember. Come November the tide will turn and Democrates and Republicans are going to pay the price for not listening to the voice of America. ~ One Voice

More Job Cuts As Deficit Grows

2010-02-03T11:11:00.000-08:00

The budget for 2011 was released a couple of days ago. A massive book, that if you can understand its language, will tell a tale of more increased spending by this administration.
Sony is laying off, more than 450 jobs lost, even Katie Couric is having her salary cut as CBS feels the economic crunch. This country is in deep trouble and Obama can only think spending money is the answer as he moves to add more taxes to an already crippled nation.
Obama in his infamous SOTU speech keeps talking about reducing spending and then keeps adding to the deficit, all the while saying he will lower it. And the way he plans to do that is to attack Americans with higher taxes. Mr. President, Americans don't have money to pay more taxes because we can't get jobs.
If we let this man go, he will totally bankrupt this country and destroy it. This effort will create what he has wanted all along: a welfare state. That is the whole plan behind his left wing agenda.
This country can no longer afford to go along with this man's principles. We've become a nation whose leader apologizes to other nation's for our behavior when we've done nothing wrong. He apologizes to nations who hate and despise Americans and who are at war with us. He grants enemy combatants the same rights as our citizens. He bows down to radical Islamist countries who are actively seeking to kill as many Americans as they can.
This is the man we've picked for the highest office in the land. It's time to seriously rethink our decisions.
As the job rate continues to shrink, and the government continues to lie by saying how many jobs they've saved, Americans are waking up to new poverty levels every day. More foreclosures of homes, and the jobless numbers keep climbing. Of course, this administration doesn't report the true numbers. They are too busy fabricating false numbers to report to make them look good. What about all those people who aren't counted? The ones who are no longer getting benefits because their unemployment has run out or worked part time and cannot collect any benefits.
Americans, the one job you can do for yourself is to write, phone, or email your Representatives and let them know where you stand.
It's time we made some real changes, starting at the top. The new battle cry of America should be: Clean house and send all incumbents packing. We need new blood in Washington. Anyone who believes it's politics as usual, needs to go.
America needs jobs. If we have everybody back to work, the problems will right themselves, including shortages in social security, health care insurance costs, the economy and income taxes.
We need to rid Washington of the theory of spend, spend, spend. It's not working!
And when we stop the spending, and America gets back to work, the deficit will come down.

The Loss of America's Power in the World

2010-02-02T07:41:00.000-08:00

Every day America's dissatisfaction with the Obama administration grows. The latest effort of the Obama camp to rethink the KSM trial's location makes America appear as a weakened, incompetent nation to our audience abroad.
Eric Holder's announcement that the trial would take place in New York inflamed the American people and the victims from 9/11 who reside in New York. At a cost of millions of dollars to beef up security in lower Manhattan, the scene of those devastating attacks against America, the choice of this location was a slap in the face to the victim's families.
First, several New York leaders went along with the plan, putting on a good face, but privately they were horrified that Obama would put the people of New York through another nightmare. But slowly, more and more officials came out against such a preposterous idea. Even democrats were against such a plan, including Chuck Schumer, Barbara Boxer and others who were unable to stay silent.
Then the administration began to back off, leaking news that they were "rethinking" the New York site for the trial. The trouble is no one wants to own this thing because we all know that these enemy combatants who are being treated with all the rights of American citizens should be tried by a military tribunal. Who wants to see these murderers go free on a technicality? Obama, maybe? Does he think it will endear America to the countries who breed these terrorists?
As Europe and Asian countries watch this scenario play out, America continues to be seen as a weakened country, unable to bring to justice a handful of enemy combatants who in other countries would have been brought to trial and exterminated. Here we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. We let the ACLU dictate what's good for terrorists. And the global impact is showing the world that the Obama administration is run by fools and idiots. They must be laughing at the weakness of a once great nation.
Obama needs to take a stand and dump those people in his administration who are putting up a divisive, weakened appearance to the world. Holder, Napolitano, and Geitner all need to go.
Neapolitano can't be bothered to even attend hearings on the Underwear Bomber. Holder has made a mess out of the KSM business, and Geitner has us in so deep we'll never get out of the hole he's dug for us.
But Obama won't act. He is a puppet of the far left agenda he clings to. He was put into power by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and a dream that promised change. Change is right because that's all we have is change in our pockets and no jobs.
In the meantime, the world is laughing at the joke America's defense has become. Are you laughing yet? ~ One Voice

Obama's Meeting with the Republicans

2010-01-29T17:37:00.000-08:00

Three words can sum up Obama's meeting with the Repbulicans today: Waste of time! With cameras rolling and covering the event, it was quite obvious that Obama has no intention of trying to work with anyone. He is sticking by his agenda, plain and simple. He's not willing to bend, or negotiate on anything.
At least now the country will witness his inability to be flexible with anyone who has the nerve and gall to question his policies. He wants the Republicans to kowtow to his will, but he won't bend at all. Inflexibility should be his middle name.
Maybe now Americans will wake up and get the picture. I'm sure if there was no TV coverage, Obama would have stayed home. But this time the coverage will show his absolute stubborn stance. Never mind what the people want, it's Obama's way or the highway.
I can't wait until November. I thought maybe the Massachusetts loss of Kennedy's seat would wake him up and his fellow Democrats. Even they are beginning to question his leadership skills.
Rumors are spreading rapidly that his whole plan to try the Al Quaeda prisoners in New York is falling apart right before his eyes. Even Barbara Boxer and Chuck Schumer are standing firm against such a plan. It looks like the trial might take place in Gitmo after all. I'm sure this was a big blow to Obama. But can you blame New York? They would have to shoulder another financial hit to provide security for this mockery. And spend millions doing so.
Republicans should stand firm and wait for the November elections and they will sweep the House. The American public is sick and tired of Obama's refusal to listen to the voice of the people. And his speech may have hinted at listening to the people, but he is not doing it. The constituents are fuming at this latest snub.
All he has done is reinforce the whole idea behind the Tea Party movement. The people want their voices heard. Maybe come November, Obama will learn that fact.
In the meantime, he won't listen to any ideas but his own and that can only spell defeat for his programs. So much for working with the Repbulicans. just another Obama untruth. ~Onve Voice

State of the Union

2010-01-27T18:29:00.000-08:00

The state of the union is in disarray as Obama comes before the American people trying to say what a great job he is doing on their behalf. I only watched this speech because I wanted to see if the agenda would change from far left to centrist. And it has not.
I'm so glad he told me that the economy is on the rise. For a moment I thought that it was on the decline since the jobless rate continues to climb; and since my dollars don't buy near as much at the grocery store. My friends who cannot find a job will be glad to hear that too.
The senior citizens will be glad to know that even though they didn't get a raise this year in Social Security benefits, the nation is sound. Cancer patients are being turned down for treatment, but he's still backing that health care bill that punishes people who are sick and people that rely on those benefits to pay their bills. Notice how he doesn't mentioned how he cut Medicare benefits. His philosophy is get rid of the elderly; they cost too much. Nothing changed there.
Again, he's brought up the same tired rhetoric he preached on the campaign trail. Even though, he has not implemented a single promise made during the election campaign. Words roll easily off his tongue, as easily as they roll across the teleprompter.
Higher education breaks are nice, but let's see him follow through on this one. Because before a kid can even get through his first year at the university, he has to start paying on that loan; even though he doesn't have a job because he's going to school or carrying a full load to get through faster.
The man is so filled with arrogance; He's going to creat a perfect country. He will end all wars. Note, he doesn't say anything about winning or victory. Just that the troops will be coming home. That's what his far left friends want. Not to protect this country by keeping the terrorists at bay. Same lyrics he's sung before.
He is asking for the removal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. On that we can all agree. Anyone should be able to serve their country.
This past week, a highly democratic state voted for a republican to take Ted Kennedy's long held seat. The democrats are behind in the polls of all those running for re-election, many of them by double digits. The end of democratic majority will soon be but a memory.
If he really wanted to do something for this country, he would insist on term limits for Congress. The time has come. Despite the age discrimination cries, it is time to send those home who are too old to care or know what is happening.
And if the Obama is insisting we pass health care reform, let him give us the plan that Congress enjoys. After all, they work for us. We should have the same plan or they should go on ours. And theirs is for the rest of their life whether they are defeated or not; whether they go home or stay.
For the most part what Obama has said is more of the same. Continual references to the "past adminstration", praising himself for his accomplishments, and promising us the moon. We already know he can't deliver.
He needs to listen to the voices of the people. His plans to go to the center have failed as he clings to the policies he deems important. The Tea Party advocates won big tonight. Obama cannot let go of his stubborn demeanor.
And insulting the Supreme Court, the highest law of the land, is not any way to court the people.
With his arrogant stubborn attitude, Obama has continued to inflame the people. He will bring about change; the change to another President in 2012.~One Voice

It's been many years since a Republican was seated in one of the most liberal states in America. But I am so proud of the Massachusetts people for taking a stand against the Obama administration.
They've let our leaders know that we don't want politics as usual. And Americans, the majority of them, do not want a healthcare reform bill jammed through against our wishes. Yes, we know we need reform, but we don't need another welfare program for those who refuse to work. Let the best heads of both parties come together and work out the logistics on a bi-partisan basis to correct what's wrong with healthcare.
Congratulations to Scott Wilson for winning over both parties. He will be a breath of fresh air in stale D.C. But, Republicans, don't get complacent. Your jobs are in jeopardy as well as the Democrats. It's no longer strictly party politics. The people of America are staging a revolt against the "old way" of governing.
Finally, the current administration seems to have gotten the message: America is angry.
Now we hear Ms. Pelosi doesn't have the votes to pass healthcare; we may have to start over. Harry Reid is humble (that in itself is a miracle). The shot heard round the world was fired by Scott Wilson's victory in Massachusetts.
The liberal faction may make fun of the tea party movement, but it is here to stay. The taking back of America has begun and this is just the beginning, Washington. Get used to it. ~One Voice

Acorn May Be Gone But...More to Come

2010-01-12T18:23:00.000-08:00

Congress is doing its best to thumb their noses at the will of the people. Waiting in the wings is the newest legislation that will come up very soon: Universal Voter Registration. No wonder they aren't worried about their jobs.
This newest piece of trash that goes against our Constitution will allow anyone to register to vote: Illegal aliens, murderers, rapists, terrorists, anyone whose name appears on a government roll. Anyone who appears on welfare lists whether they are citizens or not, will be allowed to register to vote. This legislation will in effect register anyone, multiple times whether they earned that right or not. Since when is it permissable to let criminals and illegals dictate the law of our land?
Big names are backing this bill because they know the public is fed up with their shenanigans: Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Harry Reid; many who know their seats are in trouble.
Are we going to let this happen? No, we are not. Get ready for another campaign of letter writing, telephoning and faxing your displeasure to your representatives and senators. Of course, they probably won't listen as they didn't listen to our threats and pleas for the healthcare bill. Isn't it interesting that they have to resort to breaking the law to hold onto their seats by their fingernails?
The Congress needs to go, every one of them. All those who took their bribes from Obama to pass healthcare; all those who are trying their best to disarm the Constitution and destroy this country.
We don't have to worry about terrorists destroying America. Americans, powerful Americans, will do it themselves. They've already started. ~

The Question of Profiling

2010-01-08T08:00:00.000-08:00

Christmas brought visions of sugar plums, Santa Claus, and another terrorist with which to contend. Such a surprise!
When will this administration stop its asinine treatment of those who hope to kill as many Americans as possible? They are not criminals, they are terrorists. Use the word and stop trying to avoid hurting their feelings. Let the military have them and serve justice. We are at war with these people as they perform their jihads against us. We don't need Obama apologizing for their mistreatment. Let the military do their job and get answers. Can you imagine Hitler being interrogated and the US worrying about hurting his feelings? Offering him a chance to "lawyer up?" If torturing works, get on with it. Did anyone think our boys weren't tortured by the Japanese or the Germans during World War II? It's one of the unpleasant facts of war. Nobody likes to remember those days when we had soldiers in prison camps, or the Jews were being annihilated just because they were Jews. It's an unpleasant memory and one no one likes to be reminded of. But war is war. And the enemy must be stopped no matter how unpleasant we have to be. Perhaps you've forgotten but war is hell. And we are at war.
Is anyone being blamed for not stopping this terrorist from boarding that plane when all the information was there? No, Mr apologetic Obama pretends to be angry and says that we must do something to stop the onslaught of terrorist attacks by putting more stringent practices in place. How about copying the practices of El Al, Israel's airlines? They have no problems with profiling everyone. And they have no incidents to report.
How about stopping anyone from Yemen from entering this country by refusing to grant visas to them? And yes, I am for profiling people of a certain background from entering this country. Anytime anyone wants to pay cash for a ticket or it's a one way fare, red flags should have immediately gone up. And if a nation doesn't want to go along with these practices, they should not be allowed to fly into this country.
But, no, Obama would never stand behind such guidelines because we might hurt the feelings of some of his Muslim friends.
Politically, one more attack on this country, and Obama is through. That's not just my consensus, but the opinion of political strategists throughout our country.
We need someone in office who is not afraid to do right for this country and so far, I'm not seeing that person in the Oval office. I felt a lot safer under the last administration than I do under the current one. Much of the programs that Bush put in place have been taken apart and dismantled by the new leader. And I feel a lot less safe than before. Economically, this country cannot survive another disaster at the hands of our enemies. We need Congress to forget about insurance problems and concentrate on keeping this nation and its inhabitants safe. ~One Voice

New Year's Resolutions

2010-01-01T12:56:00.000-08:00

The Big Speech at West Point

2009-12-02T20:05:00.000-08:00

The White House finally gave its answer: The commander in chief is sending 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. The poor cadets at West Point were snoring their way through the big speech, a dull and flat emotionless talk. He seemed angry to have to even give the announcement. Not once does he mention an American victory. It's almost as if he would root for an American loss. With practically the same breath he announced the upcoming deployment, he stated that in 3 years he will start pulling back the troops. All the network commentators picked up on that one. It's like giving the enemy free reign to go on a long vacation and then come back into power.
Where is the forceful leadership this country deserves? We need a leader who can lead, not an apologist who sees this nation as wronging the Middle Eastern Muslim nations. They chose to attack us, Mr. President. We are trying to prevent more attacks at their hands in our nation. But what can you expect from a leader who cannot even call a terrorist a terrorist when he kills 13 people at Fort Hood and screams "Alla Akbar" while he's doing it.
Oh, we'd better apologize to the Muslims because they might get their feelings hurt if we call this Muslim extremist a terrorist.
We need the forcefulness of a Truman, a Reagan or an FDR cheering the troops on to victory not putting them to sleep with his lackluster apologetic speech. You can hear the disassociation in his voice. He could care less what the military does. He despises them.
Our friend, Chris Matthews, had the nerve to call West Point, "the enemy." Our military academy is the enemy? Another gaffe with no reprimand by the Obama owned media.
I don't know about you but I want my America back before he totally destroys it. ~ One Voice

Strongarming the Military

2009-11-27T18:43:00.000-08:00

Apologies to the enlisted men and women who are standing tall in the fight for freedom across the world. Word has come that 3 of the Navy Seals who captured the latest detainee in Iraq, a man responsible for the Fallujah massacre, Muslim extremist Abed, have been charged because he accused them of giving him a fat lip.
These men and women who put their lives on the line for our country are being ridiculed by something the left calls "Political correctness." It has to stop.
Soon we will have no military left to fight as it is the aim of the current administration to rid this country of the military. It's obvious that Obama despises the Armed Forces. Just look how's he drug out the request for more troops to fight the war in Afghanistan. And now, this latest insult by the Commander in Chief and his staff.
Now we have to apologize to the Muslim extremists when we defend ourselves against their murderous intentions? The only thing that we need to apologize for is the inhumane treatment of the military by their own country's leaders.
Obama is an embarassment to this country and to those who deem it an honor to serve their country. In a war, you don't treat the enemy like a hero. If he resists being taken, you have to sometimes use force. Of course, Obama wouldn't know that, would he, since he's never served in the military.
How much more do we have to take as our soldiers are further ridiculed by their leaders? Every Republican in office and those trying to unseat the current Democratic leadership, needs to be out there in the Media fighting to correct the injustice that those Navy Seals are having to endure.
And Obama is supposed to be respected in the global community? The world is laughing at the weak Americans. Every day is a new disaster with this administration.
But perhaps that's his world plan. Perhaps the plan is to take down America from the inside by destroying our morale and taking away the power of the Armed Forces.
They're taking away our jobs, trying to control our healthcare and our freedom of choice. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he decided not to leave at the end of his term but to become the world's new dictator.
The Navy Seals involved are getting counsel to fight the charges. Our country is in a sad state of affairs. We cannot look to our leaders for support in this matter. We have to take up the fight ourselves. There is no place in this country for weak leaders who apologize for our behavior at every turn. We have to take back this country before it is too late. ~One Voice

Sarah Palin: Going Rogue

2009-11-19T20:20:00.000-08:00

As Sarah Palin travels the country wide promoting her book, "Going Rogue," one thing is certain. She's a very popular woman. Crowds are following her like the Pied Piper as she draws thousands at each booksigning. Her book was a best seller long before its release yesterday. And her popularity continues to grow among the masses, with a 47% approval rating in a poll taken today.
Ms. Palin made a wise decision by taking on the smaller market cities and avoiding the big cities. Because in the heart of America, they care about her. I'm not saying she is presidential material, but middle America cares about Sarah Palin and is eager to hear what she has to say.
Of course, in the state run media, they have a slanted view. MSNBC correspondent, Chris Matthews, immediately pointed out that she appeals only to white people, another clearly racist remark from this journalist, who continues to make one gaffe after another. This is the same journalist who said "what's wrong with an army major calling Al Qaida?"
As Sarah Palin makes her rounds of interviews, she is proving that women should be taken seriously in the political arena. She stands up for John McCain and sets the record straight about the running of his campaign.
Again, the media is squaring off against her. Newsweek is trying to demean her by stealing a cover from Runner's World magazine. They placed it on this week's issue and showed her on the cover in running shorts. It is totally sexist and they get away with it. It's offensive not only to her, but to all women. But where are the women's groups outrage? It seems that if you're a conservative woman, they say nothing. But let something be said against a liberal woman, and they're all over the place. NOW should be ashamed of themselves for not standing up for all women, no matter what their political leanings.
Why all the negative attention for Ms. Palin? For some reason, the left leaning biased media is afraid of her because she has the heart of America backing her. Whether she runs for political office or not, no one should have to put up with the attacks she's had to deal with, especially the demeaning of her family.
Good luck to Sarah Palin, who might just surprise everyone and crash through that glass ceiling that has so far kept women from the top job in the country. ~One Voice

Mistrial of the Century

2009-11-13T19:11:00.000-08:00

With the first light of morning came the announcement from Attorney General Eric Holder that the five masterminds of the 9/11 terrorist attack on New York City and the Pentagon in Washington would be tried in court in New York City. Shock and awe! But what is the real message here?
Is it a ploy by the Obama administration to take the focus off healthcare? Or is it an honest effort to put the evil Al Qaida operatives to death with no ulterior motives? Obama has made some mistakes but this one may be the biggest one yet.
Is this a trial for justice or merely a way to once again lay blame on the Bush administration for the greatest crisis to occur in our country ever? What will really be on trial here is the waterboarding and investigation techniques and communication between agencies, thereby laying a direct pipeline to the foreign enemy that will once again know our weak spots and declare war and Jihad on the U.S.
Does anyone think about the survivors of the greatest disaster to occur in America and what this trial will do to them as the story is once again played out for the world to see, for our enemies to find new ways to attack us?
And in the interest of serving justice, does anyone really believe that a jury can be seated in New York City where the wounds are still fresh even after eight years? What is Obama's plan? Does he want his fellow Muslims to be freed on a technicality?
We've now had 2 Jihad attacks from Muslim extremists on our country. Will this trial bring us more disaster at their hands? Yes, I'm asking a lot of questions because they need to be answered. Has anyone thought these things through before making their decision? You have to wonder at the sense this move makes. And why now, after eight years do we hold an open trial that will take years and costs millions of dollars to the taxpayers. It's just what this country needs to take the focus off healthcare and the job crisis. Isn't it?~One Voice

Obama's Hypocracy

2009-11-11T19:52:00.000-08:00

Let me start off by thanking the veterans for their service on this Veteran's Day, 2009. The debt we owe them can never be repaid.
In the last couple of days, Barack Obama spoke at Fort Hood and at Arlington Cemetery to praise the military. Am I the only who who sees the hypocrisy in that?
Tender words of praise for our men and women in uniform, and yet, he cannot decide if and when to deploy more soldiers in the fight in Afghanistan. The remarks he made at Fort Hood were heartfelt but he has done everything he can to hide the truth: that it was an act of war by a fanatical Muslim extremist staging Jihad against Americans.
His efforts to try and mask the terror attack at Fort Hood as psychotic is wrong. You can't suffer from PTSD when you've never been deployed to a war. Obama can't admit to the truth that the federal agencies screwed up again. He's trying to save his administration because another attack on our soil will finish him. The people of this country are already jumping the Obama ship over the whole health care and economy debacles. Hearing him continually stand behind this Muslim killer is just plain wrong.
There is evidence that Hasan contacted Al Quaida. There are emails to the Imam from the Falls Church mosque who has fled to Yemen. He encouraged Hasan to pursue Jihad. Hasan paraded around in Muslim dress the morning of the attack. More and more proof is falling into place. There was no mental illness as Washington would have you believe. This is a premeditated attack by a Muslim extremist that is being covered up.
And yet Obama stands up there and says, "Don't jump to conclusions." Out of the other side of his mouth, he's praising those who were killed and yet, he won't condemn this Muslim murderer.
And he won't commit to calling up more troops where they're needed. And he can't seem to engineer a plan for Afghanistan. But he can place that wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown and smile and give a good speech. I have to wonder was he there because he wanted to be or because it's his Presidential duty? As for substance, there is little there. I despise hypocrisy. And that seems like all we're getting from Obama.
At least when George Bush was president, you could see his deep respect and love for the military. When he visited the hospitals, he went unannounced and without film crews. He deeply cared for for the military and it was evident. ~One Voice

Fort Hood Terrorist Attack

2009-11-10T05:53:00.000-08:00

I've waited to write anything about the terrorist attack in Fort Hood, first because I wanted more facts, and second, because I was too angry. But the longer I waited, the angrier I got.
This is the second attack we've endured at the hands of Jihadists. What angers me more than anything is that, again, we had information, warning signs that should have raised huge red flags and the authorities just sat on their hands because they were afraid of offending someone. And as a result, 13 people died and 38 were wounded at Fort Hood.
The fundamentalists in Afghanistan must be laughing at the silly Americans and shouting "we've defeated them." Because of America's institutions, the FBI and CIA, who are still not talking to each other and sharing information, this terrorist (yes, I'm calling him a terrorist because he is one)succeeded in killing more Americans. No one paid any attention to the warning signs because they might offend the muslims in the Army. Has this country learned anything yet? Obviously not.
And Obama, a secret Muslim, is saying "Don't jump to conclusions."
This is a supremely sad day for America. I am very angry about this because this country let it happen. How many more thousands of Americans have to die because our leaders will not act on information for fear of hurting people's feelings?
I'm not saying I hate muslims. I'm talking about radical muslims, madmen who seek to destroy this country.
The time has come to drop the political correctness and work to keep this country safe. Where was Homeland Security? And why was this incident greeted with nothing more than silence? Where was the anger that this country exhibited after 9/11? Do we need to have thousands killed first before there is any kind of reaction?
We have leaders who stand up for the radicals who seek to kill us, who won't arm our military so that we can end the war once and for all, and who waited a week before he could go and visit the people at Fort Hood. This should tell you what you really need to know; that he will protect the enemy at all costs.
Last week, George Bush visited the troops at Fort Hood. He didn't have to. He's no longer commander in chief, but he cared. That's more than you can say for Obama and his minions who think that the war on terror doesn't exist. But guess what, Mr. President, this happened on your watch, not on George Bush's. So more than a week after the incident, Obama finally cleared some time to show up. And you can believe that he'll have the press there to record every moment.
In the meantime, the press will spin and turn this "poor muslim" into the victim. They are already doing so. Anger doesn't even begin to cover the emotions I'm feeling because of this incident. I hope this country wakes up before it's too late. But knowing our agencies, they probably won't check out any of the other muslims in the Army and in this country, because they wouldn't want to offend them. So look for more of these incidents. The jihadists will not stop.
I hope the Army handles the prosecuting of this man. Maybe then we will see justice and not have to endure an ACLU lawyer screaming about his rights. As far as I'm concerned he gave up any rights the minute he started shooting at American soldiers. He should be tried for treason and sent before a firing squad. Maybe the Army will get it right. No one else seems capable of doing so. ~

House Passes Obamacare

2009-11-09T08:36:00.000-08:00

By hook or by crook, the bill passed the House of Representatives on a special weekend session late Saturday night. In a move to sway the pro-life supporters, they passed a special amendment that is supposed to eliminate federally funded abortions. But will it really?
John Boehner tried to elect a promise from Democrats that when the bill comes back that it will still contain this amendment and not be subjected to the "trickery" of eliminating this measure from the final bill. As predicted, this amendment will probably totally disappear. It was merely a means of getting votes and the second bill will have the abortion clauses added back in.
These people must think America is made up of stupid idiots who cannot read between the lines. For one thing, mandated insurance is against the Constitution and threatening people with mandatory jail time as well. Everyone who voted for the monstrosity should be impeached. Of course, you will have some representatives who will deny that they didn't vote, they only voted for the pro-life version, people like Steve Driehous, who is already politically in trouble with his constituents because he has repeatedly refused to act in the best interest of the people who sent him to Washington. He will be one of many who will be fired next year.
Of course, this bill still has to clear the Senate. The only reason Harry Reid is delaying the vote for a month or two, is to work the Senators and try to convince them to come around. I wonder how many back room deals will be cut to get votes.
There is still much work to be done to stop this bill from becoming law. Reform must be done correctly. Rushing through this legislation is just plain wrong. Time needs to be taken to cover all aspects and treat everyone fairly. Simply throwing more money at a problem never works.
More money added to the national debt is not the answer here, but Democrats only know how to spend, spend, spend while they move with lightning speed to bankrupt this country. They are digging a hole so deep generation after generation of our kids and grandkids will not be able to dig their way out.
Action is needed to stop this bill from becoming law. Call, write, email, whatever it takes to stop the bill's passage. Again, there's a lot of work that still needs to be done. Take a stand and fight back for your country before it's too late. One Voice

GOP Victories vs Democratic Spin

2009-11-04T17:55:00.000-08:00

Governors in the states of Virginia and New Jersey, in a bold stroke for democracy, won their respective contests yesterday.
While the democratic spin doctors alibi that these "were merely local elections and had nothing to do with the current administration" according to Gibbs, the President's spokesman, either the democrats are too dense to realize the people are fed up with Obama's lack of leadership or just closing their eyes to the electional upheavel that is going to take place next year. Democrats can spin all they like, but the exit polls prove that Americans are dissatisfied with Obama and his policies. 85% of people polled after yesterdays vote stated as much.
The Tea Party movement is working. Tomorrow, Thursday, a contingent will be arriving in Washington to keep the pressure on Congress to vote a resounding "no" on the Obamacare bill. And another cross country bus tour is underway and voicing their displeasure at the way Congress is getting set to levy more taxes and the Obama administration is doing nothing to create more jobs. If anything, the administration is doing nothing on purpose because they want this country under their thumb. They want to control each and every one of us. And we're not going to put up with it.
The time has come for us to stand up and be counted in the fight to take our country back.
Yesterday, the GOP won two races originally expected to go to the Democrats. They're scared, folks. Now they're pushing the Healthcare vote back to maybe in January. They know as soon as they vote for that monstrosity of a bill, that they will be fired. Congress better prepare itself because Armegeddan is coming. One year to go! And in two years, Obama will be history. ~One Voice

New Healthcare Bill

2009-10-29T16:00:00.000-07:00

Nancy Pelosi is all aglow. Her heathcare bill is finished and ready for a vote. The bill was handed out today, all 1990 pages of it. As a sea of Democrats distance their support from their party, and Republicans get ready to debate the plan, Harry Reid is insisting he has the votes to pass it. While others deny that this will happen.
The time to keep the pressure on our representatives is now. Once the vote happens, it's too late. As the propaganda machine builds its message on a recovering economy that is nothing but more lies fashioned by the current administration, the plan is to take the focus off of the bill that Obama and company are planning to push through. As more jobs are lost, it's hard to believe that propaganda.
Reid is certain he will get the measure passed, by hook or by crook, with a reconciliation attempt that will allow Congress to pass or vote no on the first go round and then return to pass the bill later. More underhanded tactics by Congress to allow government interference into our lives.
All the current plan will do is cause private insurance to escalate through the roof and force the people to go on the government plan thereby sending private insurance companies rates through the roof. As the people forego the private options and choose the cheaper government plan, they will force private insurance companies into bankruptcy.
According to minority leader John Boehner, the bill is "1990 pages of pure burearocracy."
It's interesting, isn't it, that the bill will not come to the floor until after the Tuesday, Nov. 3rd elections. If everything was on the up and up, would that be necessary? Congress is running scared and I'm not just talking about the Democrats. Both parties are quaking in their boots these days because they know full well that the American people are fed up with their underhanded shenanigans.
If you haven't done so, write, fax, email or snail mail your leaders on the hill and tell them to vote no, no, no!
Why should senior citizens be penalized with having their medicare benefits cut to pieces and be limited in their healthcare coverage? There may not be so called "death panels" to face, but when you can't afford the care, you are condemned to an early end when you have to choose between food or medicine. This is wrong, America, so very wrong. Stand up and do the right thing while there is still time.~ One Voice

Freedom Fighters

2009-10-28T19:39:00.000-07:00

Who are the freedom fighters you may ask? They are the simple folks, the ones who get up every morning and go to work; the ones who get up and go to church on Sunday or syangogue on Saturdays; they are the members of the Tea parties that show up in droves to cheer for a free America; they are you and me and all of the Americans who love their freedom. They respect and honor the flag and don't see it as a "religious symbol" but rather the symbol of victory of a hard fought win: the battle for our independence.
In the beginning, when our country was born, great men sat in power and fashioned this country into a free and independent nation. They were smarter and wiser men than rule over us today. They made provisions that protected us from madmen seeking power; from the corrupt and evil men who would seek to dominate and oppress nations with fear and eventually destroy all that they possessed.
Brave men always rise up and fight to save our country when danger threatens our freedom; the Greatest Generation fought down the madness of dictators and tyranny. They, too, were freedom fighters. Our military has been around for more than a couple hundred years, defending the oppressed and protecting our freedom. Thank God for them and for a free America.
Once again, those freedoms are under attack. But this time, our enemies are from within this country. Corrupt leaders who insult women; who sponsor legislation to murder babies and withhold treatment for the elderly by cutting off their medical benefits. By withholding support for our military they are causing more deaths than are necessary because they won't fund military provisions; won't allow these brave men to fight their wars and end them; instead they play political games with men and women's lives. When the casualty figures go up, how many shed a tear and take responsibility for those losses? Because they are directly responsible.
But our military aren't the only ones who need to fight for our country.
It is up to us to act as freedom fighters and fight for the rights we hold dear. We cannot let the corrupt politicians remain in office to slowly strike down the Constitution and Bill of Rights put in place by our founding fathers.
Become a freedom fighter and join a Tea party. Voice your opinions to your Congress and let them know we're not taking the graft and corruption any longer. We're not going to accept healthcare reform that is merely another way to tax the people and eliminate the elderly who are ill and according to the lawmakers, "no longer useful." Are we going to let these evil people play God?
We condemn other countries for practicing genocide but are we any different?
Wake up, America! Fight for your country's survival. Become a freedom fighter today! ~One Voice

Jessica's Law

2009-10-23T15:16:00.000-07:00

We hear more and more statistics every day. Little girls and little boys being molested and raped and worse: murdered by sexual deviants. When will it stop?
The push continues for each state to institute Jessica's law and protect the innocent from predators in their states. But in the meantime, the desecration of the innocents continues.
Jessica's Law was passed in the state of Florida and named for one of the young victims. But not all states have this law on their books. Between lax regulations and corrupt judges who merely slap the molesters on the wrist with light sentences. where is the justice? One rape conviction resulted in a mere 18 months incarceration. Any judge who lets a rapist or pedophile off with a sentence like that should be impeached and banned from practicing law ever again.
The saddest testimony is the parent who is also a molester or rapist. Lifetime in prison is too good for them.
National legislation should be passed to protect our children and enforced at the state level with a minimum term of imprisonment of 50 years for child molestation and a life sentence for child rape. Any Congressman or woman who wouldn't stand up for this legislation should be thrown out or impeached.
Get behind Jessica's law. Does your state have it? Instruct your children in safe practices when arranging for pick up at schools or walking home. And talk to them; warn them about the predators that will hurt them. Teach them to trust no one, not even family members. Many molestations happen right within the family circle with one parent being oblivious to what is going on in their house.
Be aware! And be smart. If you suspect anything strange going on, report it immediately to the authorities and safeguard America's children.~One Voice

The Bitter Pill of Afghanistan

2009-10-20T08:46:00.000-07:00

It's been weeks now since General McChristy presented the president with his recommendation for more troops in Aghanistan, and still the president is mum. What an act of disrespect for the men and women fighting to keep Al Qaida and The Taliban at bay. The latest excuse is a lame one. Because of the corrupt elections there must be a run off to determine who will be the leader of this god forsaken country. We must wait until November 7th to find out who the leader will be, according to Raum Emanuel. What kind of logic is this? I'm beginning to believe that this whole administration is idiotic.
As more Americans are killed every day, Obama attends fundraisers in New York for the Democratic Party at $15,000 a head. He's sure worried about our brave fighting men and women, isn't he?
I've never been so ashamed of a leader in my life. I've had disagreements before with various presidents over the years, but to blatantly ignore the needs of our soldiers is a slap in the face of freedom.
I heard this morning that Obama is going to honor a group of Vietnam veterans for their efforts in that war. Is it an honest effort or merely a publicity ploy to take the heat off because of his attitude toward the Afghanistan situation?
Another rumored excuse is that he wanted his healthcare passed before he took on the war. What a sad commentary to our military's importance to this country. No wonder their morale is at an all time low. This is an embarrassment beyond measure. We must look ludicrous to our enemies.
I realize that this is a bitter pill for this adminstration to swallow. The left wing advocates want us out of there, and so do most Americans, but we're there fighting to keep terrorism at bay. But it's become a political war. If the generals would just let the men and women fight and quit pulling them back, maybe we could avoid all the comparisions to Viet Nam. Let them fight this war and end it, with victory. ~ One Voice

Rush Limbaugh vs. NFL

2009-10-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

Whether or not you agree with Rush Limbaugh's conservative philosophy, you have to wonder what has happened to America that it prohibits someone from making an investment in America. If his income came from a quesitonable source, maybe they'd have reason, but because he criticizes the President? Come on!
The NFL is so anxious to keep a conservative out of their "esteemed" organization that they have to fabricate and manipulate sound bites to make it sound like Limbaugh is a racist. The media is reporting lies, but what else is new?
When groups of African American football players come to Limbaugh's defense, you have to wonder who's behind this controversy. Once this scam became public, the group who was going to purchase the St. Louis Rams, dumped Limbaugh in the middle of all this mess. But I suppose it makes sense when one of those investors is rumored to be George Soros, a man who almost single-handedly bought the White House for Obama with the help of Acorn. I guess if you don't like Obama's policies, and you're vocal about it, you're punished.
I am so sick and tired of hearing racist when you don't agree with the President's policies. What's next, auditing by the IRS of everyone who is brave enough to voice their opinion against Obama's policies?
Rush Limbaugh is taking all this with a grain of salt, but it infuriates me that we have such polarized organizations in a position of power in this country. Suppose we all start boycotting NFL games and refuse to buy products advertised on their games?
Maybe Rush should take his money and take it to Grand Cayman and bypass the great American corrupt investment groups. Who could blame him if he did? ~One Voice

Health Care Reform or Retaxing

2009-10-14T03:59:00.000-07:00

The Healthcare Reform has made it through the financial committee. Now Congress will huddle "behind closed doors" to write the bill they hope to send to the floor. According to Senator Mitch McConnell (R, Ky), "this will result in another half trillion dollar hit for seniors on Medicare and higher taxes, along with higher insurance premiums." He predicts that this bill will never reach the Senate floor. Let's hope he is right.
Obama is out there praising the lone Republican, Olympia Snow, for voting for it. However, she has already stated that she will not vote for a public option, which is what Pelosi and company want.
There is still time to write your Congressmen and women and let them know your displeasure about this program. Remember, for those of you who have heathcare, you will be paying more. This is no reform! 87% of the cost of this plan will be shouldered by the middle class. There will be a cost of around $4,000 per household per year to pay for it. This plan has a clause that states insurance coverage charges will be based on age. The older you are the more costly the insurance. If the new bill goes through, with the public option, yes, the uninsured will get coverage and we will be paying for it. And those young people who have no insurance, will be forced to get it or pay a hefty $2,000 fine per year.
The ridiculous thing is, those who go to the hospital now and have no coverage, cannot be turned away. They are getting healthcare. So what's the difference? Hidden beneath all this talk about healthcare coverage is the real plan: to institute the socialistic principles of this administration and "spread the wealth." Once the government takes over the management of healthcare in this country, private insurance will be a thing of the past. And the economy will take an even bigger hit as the jobless rate climbs yet again. This is the scenario the government wants: the people at the mercy of the government. And there will be no more choice. The goverment will own its citizens lock,stock, and barrel.
They will tell us what we can eat, what we can earn, and they will start to dismantle our Constitution. Plans are already afoot to do just that.
So fight back while you still can. Hold on tightly to your rights with both fists and don't let go. We're about to be in the fight of our lives to retain the freedom that we hold dear. ~ One Voice

Nobel Peace Prize Absurdity

2009-10-09T20:24:00.000-07:00

Now we've heard it all! Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009!
There have been some crazy things happening in this country of late, but perhaps this bit of news is the strangest. The nomination of President Obama for this once prestigious award is nothing short of a joke. Nominated a mere 11 days after he took possession of the Presidency, it is merely a political ploy by those abroad who wish to stick it to former President George W. Bush one more time.
The committee, to paraphrase, gives him the award based on his "potential." Potential to lead? I've yet to see any leadership qualities demonstrated. He was elected because he can give a good speech, reading from a teleprompter. He is weak, folks, so weak he's left a request open from General McChrystal for more troops for 40 days now. This "man of peace" is a wartime president who won't listen to his generals. And he has only spoken to McChrystal once in the last 70 days. What kind of leadership is that? What kind of message does this send to our troops? It's obvious that while our military is suffering losses, it doesn't matter to the President or he would have acted swiftly and surely by placing faith in the judgment of his military leaders and answered that request in a timely manner.
What kind of leader ignores the people who elected him when they say they don't want the healthcare bill passed? When they say they're happy with the current plans they already have?
It's believed by some that this award gives a boost to the image of America overseas. The only thing this award is doing is making America a laughing stock abroad. And, in the end, it will do more harm than good.
The people of America don't care about the Nobel Prize. What they care about is the welfare of this country; the economy and the lack of jobs that continue to grow everyday despite his claims that we are "coming out" of the recession.
Tell that to the people of Ohio who see those unemployment totals continue to climb.
Tell that to the people who have relocated 3 and 4 times to find work and within the same year, are losing those jobs because of the economy and more downsizing. Tell that to the people who don't know how they're going to put food on the table for their families.
Congratulations to the President for his award and his million dollars. Maybe he'll use that money to help pay down the debt he has raised to a trillion plus dollars.

Devaluing the Dollar

2009-10-06T19:37:00.000-07:00

Gold continues to rise and the value of the dollar contines to plummet. Whose fault is this?
Obama's great plans for the stimulus to improve the dollar and boost the economy have gone up in smoke. The Great Stimulus was supposed to create all these new jobs that would cause the dollar to rise in value. Where are those jobs?
There have been no great increase in jobs in this country. The job market is getting smaller, more layoffs last month than we've seen in many years. As the job market continues to shrink, our financial worries continue to compound.
Rumors fueled by the shrinking dollar value are flooding the airwaves. The Arabs, the oil countries, and China are already talking about dropping the dollar. If that happens, we are in even deeper trouble than ever before.
Obama is thinking of changing our currency from the dollar to something else. This upsets me and I'm not alone here. Everything about our country is changing from bad to worse. Those in power in the Congress can't wait to get their hands on the Constitution and dismantle it. They want to change our country into a government run state where they will make all our decisions for us and take away our freedoms one by one.
The dollar is the first step in this plan. Obama's answer is to print more money, instead of attacking the real problem: putting the people back to work. More jobs create a strong economy. In Obama's campaign, we were promised jobs to solve our economic woes. Where are they?
If the country goes back to work we will heal a number of ills including social security money shortages, healthcare reform money, Medicare and yes, even the war department budget.
We need to hold onto what we have and not try to destroy everything our forefathers fought to build in this nation, including the treasury system. Smarter men than we have today set up the system and it has worked for well over 200 years. We don't need to have those values challenged by men and women of a lesser stature.
Protect our country and our values. Return us to being the greatest nation in the world.
Man up, Mr. President, stop apologizing for this country. We have done nothing wrong. The value system of this country has sustained us and will continue to do so if ignorant men and women will stop interfering with a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The dollar will come back as soon as the jobs resurface. If you want to do anything, Mr. President, keep your campaign promises and put this country back to work and get them off welfare. ~One Voice

The Chicago Machine At Work

2009-10-02T17:52:00.000-07:00

Mayor Richard Daley's powerful political machine knows no bounds. He wanted the Olympics of 2016 in the Windy City so he used his "leverage" to get Obama's help in achieving his goal.
Payback time for the Obama administration. Dailey got him elected and it was time to pay back so there was never a "no" in this equation.
Squandering more taxpayer's money? Doesn't matter. Chicago calls, you have to answer. Roll out the jets, send Michelle and Valerie Jarrett over first. Follow her over the next day with 2 more jets plus Air Force One.
Plead your case. Send Michelle in first. Get her emotional by talking about her father's case of Multiple Sclerosis. What does that have to do with bringing the Olympics to Chicago? Follow Michelle's speech with a plea for the United States. Sell them on the idea by showing how important you are and how it's all about you. Don't mention the importance of the people who sponsor the Olympics, the athletes and how important it would be and how honored the city would be to have them and watch them participate. Just talk about yourself.
The result of all this pleading and cajoling at the feet of the Olympic Selection Committee? Dead last! That's right folks, all that wasted money and effort netted the President another stunning loss. He just can't do anything right. First healthcare and now this.
Perhaps that's the payback he deserves for putting the country's problems on the back burner. After all, what's more important? Stumping for the Olympics to be held in Chicago or facing the economic problems, the increased job losses, the healthcare debaucle, oh and yes, the issue of Iran and North Korea and their nukes. Let's just put that on hold for a day while we jet over to Denmark and plead our case.
While I never cared for Jimmy Carter's version of politics, I will give him his due. When the hostages were being held in Iran, he opted to forego his re-election campaign because he wouldn't leave Washington while the hostages were in captivity. He probably wouldn't have won anyway with the inflation and loan rates up to 23%, but at least he made a huge sacrifice. Would Obama do the same?
He must have been furious today. How dare anyone say no to him? But he put on the good face for the news conference. Poor Obama! He just can't win and 3 years from now, he won't win re-election either. That brings a huge smile to my face. ~ One Voice

Sneaky Underhanded Congress

2009-10-01T17:56:00.000-07:00

The Congress is up to more devious tricks to get their way. There will be 2 Senate bills pushed through and attached to the house bill so that Congress can force the healthcare bill, single payer system, and public option upon the people. I assume they think we are too stupid to figure this out.
And the bills won't take effect until 2013. Obama's re-election will be in 2012 and he is afraid of the landslide vote against him. Regardless, if these bills pass, and it seems likely they will try to pull off this sham, there will be ramifications the like that the Democrats have never seen.
Millions of Americans are going to rise up and take back this country and vote out the rhinos in both halls of Congress. They are afraid, folks, they are afraid of being sent home. Harry Reid is about to follow in the footsteps of Tom Daschle. It's time to send his other Democrat brothers and sisters home as well.
Conservatives need to unite and throw out the Democrats while they still can. Because Obama is lining up 63 liberal judges who will forever change the face of America by striking down the Constitution. Our bill of Rights is hanging by a thread and we have to take action if we are to save the country as we know it. Our freedom is at stake.
What can we do? Tea parties and town hall meetings are a good start, but we have to keep the momentum flowing and back all the strong efforts of the good people of this country who are not afraid to speak out by striking back in the voting booth.
The America we know is in serious jeopardy. Not only do we have enemies from the outside who want to see this country destroyed, we also have the very Congress who has decided that the American people are enemy #1. Not only do we have to worry about Iran, and Afghanistan and the terrorists, we have to worry about the elected officials we hired to work for us.
The time has come to take a stand and rid this country of the vermin who would see it and the laws we hold dear destroyed. Our mantra should be "Take Back America." ~ One Voice

The Rape of America

2009-09-30T15:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, America is the victim and the rapist is the Congress. You heard or rather, read me right. America is in a bad way. The economy has tanked (and no matter what you hear on the National Obama Broadcasting Network it is still in the tank), more people are out of work than are being counted, and we are being sold down the river by the very men and women we've sent to Congress to work for us.
The rape of America by men like Bernie Madoff caused our economy to tank. The mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Congressmen like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who told us everything was fine has a great deal to do with it. Unfortunately, they have been given a pass when they should both be in jail. I understand the desire to put people in homes, after all, it's the American Dream to own your own home. But to put them in homes and loan them money they know they can't begin to make payments on, is criminal. They knew this system had to fail and yet, they encouraged banks to keep loaning money to people of quesitonable financial support.
Wall Street has been able to profit from bad investments without any kind of checks and balances system in place to protect the small investor. If you have a crew of expensive lawyers on retainer and a few million behind your name, you can sue and get compensation for mismanaged investments. Ron Perlman did it and won. But the average citizen has no such support system and so he's just out the money they lost. As people's life savings swirled down the sewer, they were told, "Too bad, it didn't work out." What kind of answer is that? When you can't pay your mortgage and bills and you are left with filing backruptcy as your only option, why do they not have to answer for anything? What happens when you become senior citizens and are too old to find a job? By this time, investment companies have moved on to a new target and you are left to get by as best you can.
When Congressional representatives and senators go to Washington, the first thing they do is give themselves a raise in pay each January on their return from Christmas break. And they meet with lobbyists who promise them all the perks they could possibly want as long as they remember them and pass laws in their favor. When will this vicious cycle be stopped?
The people send respresentatives and senators to Washington to work for them and instead of remembering that, they forget all about the constituents they represent. They begin tacking on pork barrel spending programs onto bills on the floor and hope the "old folks" back home won't notice.
But we are noticing. We're noticing when the minority leader in the house, John Boehner and the Senator from Georgia, Mr. Chambliss, play golf on PAC money. When Congress takes European vacations with their friends and families and when Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer fly their husbands back and forth across the country in a private jet that our tax dollars are paying for. And for the kickbacks that Mrs. Boxer's husband is getting when she makes sure his company is awarded government contracts. When does all this graft stop? When do the people wise up and break down this political machine?
And jobs? They're cooking the books to make it look like not as many people are losing their jobs each month. Of course there aren't as many when you don't count those who worked part time jobs and cannot collect benefits when they lose their jobs. Or when they haven't worked long enough to file for benefits. Or those who get disgusted by the huge paperwork backlogs and just give up. Where are those statistics?
The time has come to start riding herd on Congress and end all the wasteful spending. One way is to establish term limits. No more lifetime jobs. We don't have that luxury. Why should they?
They refuse to do the people's business effectively. When you don't do a good job, you lose your job and so should they.
Congress doesn't even read the bills they're voting on. What kind of sense does this make? If the Tea parties have done one thing, it's to make the people aware of this one fact. We're finding out the extent of how much money is wasted with asinine studies that amount to raping and pillaging the country. They want us to pay more taxes so they can continue their abusive lifestyle. Are we going to let them get away with it? They need to be held accountable to us and if they refuse, as some town meetings proved, they need to go. Never forget the power of the vote! ~ One Voice

Corruption in the United Nations

2009-09-28T20:07:00.000-07:00

This week once again we've had a look at the United Nations and those nations that are represented therein. The emphasis on this august body calls to mind the corruption that lives within this organization. Many would agree the UN has outlived its usefulness. The fraudulence residing in this body goes deeper than the last scandal of Oil For Food in which Saddam Hussein, the French ministers and many others including Koko Annon, the son of Kofi Annon, manufactured a scheme that netted all involved millions of dollars.
The Human Rights division of the United Nations that picks and chooses its battles and sends UN forces around the world, allowing them to rape and pillage at will, is a disgrace. When Saddam Hussein was murdering Kurds, the UN stepped in and issued sanctions. When the Chinese were murdering their own, they refused to act. When Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former Secretary General of the UN in 1994, sold weapons to the Hutus in Rwanda to be used against the Tutsis and made millions as genocide was committed in this tortured nation, they again refused to act. When the United States tried to get help for these countries, they were quickly shut down. And yet the US is the main sponsor for the United Nations, spending 384 million annually to keep it going.
It's a society of corruption with world representation thriving right here on our shores. It needs to go.
It's time we developed a new organization, a World Trade Organization made up of democracies and run by an independent representative, one who has nothing at stake and can proceed over this body without the pressures of corrupt nations breathing down his neck.
It's time to rid ourselves of the men who run an organization that professes to help the world and only helps themselves with scams to line their pockets at the expense of poor people everywhere.~ One Voice

Obama Cutting Border Patrols

2009-09-24T17:00:00.000-07:00

Obama is reducing the border patrols on the US-Mexican border. As more and more terrorists find a base in this country, the President is paving the way and making their entry easier. Just whose side is he on?
In New York, he kissed up to the President of Iran, Dictators Chavez of Venezuela and Khaddafi of Libya. He has to "think" about giving the go ahead for more troops in Afghanistan. Maybe he has stars in his eyes and is wondering how to turn the Presidency into a life long job like the others have done.
Be afraid, Americans, be very afraid. We have a leader playing right into the hands of our enemies. As we sit upon a boiling pot of animosity around the world, while Israel threatens to attack Iran and Iran threatens to wipe out Israel and Afghanistan and Pakistan are breeding terrorists by the thousands, and North Korea is as volatile as ever, can the end of the world as we know it be very far away?
I can't decide if he's a misguided man who means well or if he simply wants to destroy America. And we thought the Cold War was something to worry about! When Reagan said to Gorbachev, "Tear down these walls!", we thought our worries were over.
Instead of finding a world at peace we're finding more and more evil. We're hearing terrorists, even the home bred variety, trying to take down their own. In North Carolina, the FBI found a band of terrorists who were planning to blow up the Marine base at Quantico. There was the cell out of a mosque in Brooklyn and it's been reported that there may still be several more at large.
And right in the heart of it all is Obama who thinks it's imperative that we have even less protection along our borders. He seems bent on letting the terrorists run amok with no thought for the safety of the people of this country.
What's his real story? Why does he not release his birth certificate? Is he really the Messiah or the anti-Christ?
If we can't trust our leaders to protect us, who can we trust? Will America be destroyed from within? Or are we going to stand up and take our country back? ~

Afghanistan: Stay or Go

2009-09-23T10:30:00.000-07:00

Russia couldn't win there. Americans are having trouble, too. The news out of Afghanistan is gruesome at best. Do we walk away or hunker down and blast it off the map?
Americans are a kind lot for the most part. The thought of innocent women and children being killed takes the second option off the table.
But how else do we dismantle the Taliban and al Qaeda without total destruction? How else do we get rid of Bin Laden, the true face of evil?
We're caught between a rock and a hard place, aren't we? No one can forget 9/11, the Cole disaster or the embassy bombings without remembering it was Bin Laden who engineered this destruction. But how far can we go to get him? How many soldiers have to die for this cause?
The numbers from Afghanistan, while no where near the ones from Iraq, are continuing to mount. Can we win this one?
Without the help of Pakistan, it is nearly impossible to imagine, given the conditions facing our brave men and women. We heard that money supplies were being cut off and yet, the enemy still finds ways to infiltrate our country and to fund the war in Afghanistan. They are still finding capital to train terrorists and send them around the world to wreak havoc and still keep the fight going in their own despotic country. Some say it's drug money funding their operation. Whatever is keeping them going, we need to stop it.
There is only one answer to this dilemma. Either launch a full scale attack or get the hell out of there. I realize if we walk away we're giving the enemy full reign to launch even more attacks against America and those nations who support us. Eventually, Bin Laden will die. Life expectancy is only 45 over there and he's already reached beyond that age. I'm not one to walk away from a fight but without assistance from other nations, we have to go it alone. More troops are needed and these appropriations come from the Congress. How these men and women can deny the needs of the military and not feel any responsiblity for the deaths that occur because of their actions, is reprehensible.
Whatever our leaders decide to do, we have to support the efforts of our military. And if they come home without victory, we still have to be proud of them and treat them as heroes.
Condoleesa Rice has said that if we bring our troops home, the terrorists are certain to attack us on our own soil. I think that is true. So where do we go from here?
I realize that Iraq was an unpopular war, but that is in the past and cannot be changed. As that effort scales down and we move forward, how do we handle al Qaeda and the insufferable Taliban who want to kill all Americans? ~ One Voice

Reverse Racism

2009-09-17T18:29:00.000-07:00

We have Jimmy Carter calling the country racists because they disagree with Obama's policies. Carter, who has the nerve to even open his mouth when he practically bankrupted this country when he had his turn in the White House and drove interest rates up to 22%. He nearly single-handedly killed the real estate business.
Bill Cosby has now popped up to offer his opinion, siding with Carter, that the country is against Obama because of racism.
I'm getting pretty tired of the misguided politics of racism. What we have is reverse racism. It's all right for black men to call each other the N word. It's all right for a bunch of black kids to beat up a white kid on a school bus. But if it were reversed, lawyers would be filing suits left and right and the capital R word would be echoed in black letters a foot high across the TV screens. It's all right for a black man to run for President and try to change all that is wrong with the country. I don't have a problem with that. But when he backs organizations that are corrupt and pays them money to run his election and we find out they cheated and registered over 400,000 people who were illegal reigstrants, I draw the line. If I don't agree with his policies when he tries to take away our rights and abolish our Constitution, yeah, I'm going to say so. But that doesn't mean I'm a racist.
As a white person or a black person, I'm entitled to my opinion and the constitution gives me the right to voice that opinion. The constitution allows the right of assembly, the right to bear arms, and the right to freedom of speech. Not just me, but all Americans, black, white or purple.
It's like calling wolf all the time and then one day, you cry wolf and no one pays attention. That's what's happening here. In cases when racism really does rear its ugly head, no one will listen because everytime anyone disagrees with a black person, they're labeled racists.
I am not a racist, I have never been a racist and if one more person tells me I am because I disagree with Obama's policies, I am going to scream. And perhaps get a lawyer and sue for reverse discrimination.
That's what's going on here, folks. We are being discriminated against because we don't agree with the President. And Nancy Pelosi can cry all she wants, but she wasn't worried about violent behavior when Cindy Sheehan camped out in Crawford, Texas and protested loudly against President Bush. She wasn't worried about anyone getting violent then, was she?
Where were the bleeding heart liberals when they tried to keep Roland Burris out of office because they wanted someone else appointed to Obama's seat? Were they racists because they were discriminating against a black man?
Or does that term only apply to white Americans? ~ One Voice

From Little Acorns Grow Mighty Controversies

2009-09-16T20:51:00.000-07:00

We've suspicioned that Acorn was corrupt for quite a while. And it turns out that our suspicions were correct.
Two young journalists took cameras in hand and walked into that Baltimore Acorn office like soldiers marching into battle. Not sure if they could pull it off but brave enough to try, they fought for truth and justice and struck a blow for America.
Americans are fed up with the corruption of Washington politics and this organization is full of corrupt people. I don't need to retell this story. It's been all over the news again and again. The workers who told them how to break the law and evade taxes and hide underage protitutes from the government have been fired.
Lawyers for the organization were quick to yell "foul," but have since dropped their threats of a lawsuit. And the White House has distanced itself from this group.
This situation was not just the city of Baltimore. Other centers were filmed in Brooklyn, Los Angeles and the same results were recorded. Even the Governator of California has called for an investigation into this organization.
Acorn was the group who got Obama elected by soliciting and registering voters of questionable origins and it has been suggested that more than 400,000 votes were obtained illegally. But all of this was hushed up by those in the know.
Did you recall that Obama was the Acorn lawyer?
This is not to say that all workers are corrupt. There have been some good things the agency has done like find housing for poor people. But corruption has overshadowed the good, leaving only memories of the bad in its wake.
The political machines need to be dismantled. No better place to start than with this one. ~One Voice

The Challege Of Our Freedoms

2009-09-13T18:07:00.000-07:00

I received a disturbing video today. The 2 hour movie emphasized the aims of Obama and his people to totally disrupt this nation by taking away our freedoms. The first to be challenged will be our Freedom of Speech. The House is going to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine which limits our freedom of speech. Obama is trying to silence those who don't agree with his plans and his principles. More than once he has mentioned FOX news. It will probably be the first target and then Rush Limbaugh. All the other media outlets appear to be state run now with the news filtered through the President or his people. For instance, this past weekend the huge march on Washington attended by tens of thousands of people got no mention on NBC. ABC and local channels here gave it a brief mention and then passed on like it had little or no importance. Imagine if anyone had done that to the Million Man March. This video also hints that Obama will be taking away our right to express our opinions on the Internet. (I knew these czars were being put in place for a reason.) This is censorship, folks. Not to mention an invasion of privacy and taking away rights our forefathers fought for and with which they gifted us.
They are trying to silence us, folks.
The next freedom will be the right to bear arms. Get ready NRA! They're coming for the guns. This video related that Eric Holder will be able to bann any guns he wants to. So much for the second amendment in our Bill of Rights.
Supposedly Obama has no real power; he is a puppet put in place by the real power wielders: the bankers of the world. According to the movie, there was a secret meeting with Obama and Hillary Clinton during the final days before the election in "a secret location" with these same high level bankers. They are supposed to drive the gas prices up to $150 a barrel, and have him pass a tax hidden in the "Green" programs that will put taxes on everything from energy purchases, plastics, food, medicines, pet expenses. You name it, he'll tax it. There will also be limitations on medical expenses for anyone 62 or over.
But the scariest thing in this whole propaganda tape is that he's in the process of building interrment camps all across the country to hold people who dare to try and fight him. There is supposed to be a clause in some agreement he signed that refers to him as a "dictator." He's also said to be initiating a mandatory service requirement for young people between ages 18-25 in which they will be brainwashed into submitting to his will.
Now, I'm not one to panic at some of these internet news stories making the rounds, but it makes you stop and wonder. Could we about to be heading for our own holocaust? This program also showed all the campaign promises that were made and quickly forgotten. Not by his choice, supposedly, but because he is under the thumb of the big bankers. They want him to open a world bank and drop the dollar as the bargaining currency around the world.
Even if you don't believe what this guy has on tape, it's frightening to think this could happen to us. That suddenly we'll be the Communist nation in captivity to our own dictator.
God, help me to wake up from this horrible nightmare! ~

Celebrating 9/11

Can eight years already have passed since this horrific event occurred? And, yet, in some ways, like the Kennedy assassination, everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when we were so viciously attacked.
I remember I had been retired for a little over a year and was watching Good Morning America when word came that a plane had crashed into one of the towers at the World Trade Center. At first it was thought to be a small plane and as they were showing the tower smouldering and smoking, a second jetliner crashed into the second tower. And then we knew! This was no accident. We were under attack.
It was a sad, sad day for all of America.
The one bright spot that occurred in the aftermath of that dark day was the way America bonded together. Democrats, Republicans, or independents, it didn't matter what you were. You only wanted what was good for the country and for those that this terrible tragedy left behind to somehow cope with this horrific loss.
Ever year on the anniversary of this day, I take pause and re-evaluate the events of that day. And I pray for the victims and their famiilies. The day should be remembered before we go on with our lives. And yet, I can't believe that after all these years and talks of rebuilding and making a memorial on the site, that eight years later there is still a hole in the ground. The Empire State Building was built in 400 days. And yet, with all our modern technology, we can't seem to get this building erected.
Today's anniversary has a change tied to it. The president has decreed this a National Service Day. I resent that he chose this day to commend people who donate their time to serve. Not that I begrudge them their day, but just not this day. For those who perished in the dust and debris of the downed towers, I feel like this day should be theirs alone.

Obamacare One More Time

2009-09-10T16:38:00.000-07:00

The speech we were all waiting for has come and gone. A lot of rhetoric and little substance echoed through the Great Hall last night as the President laid out his healthcare plan once again. His speech was short on details and long on anger and bitterness. After all, how dare anyone question his decrees?
Another exercise in futility for Obama. His followers came away from worshipping at the sacred statue of Obama to spout the wonder and wisdom of their leader. Others with wiser minds can see right through his lies. One attendee even called him a liar out loud. While not the proper time or place for this judgment, at least he was honest about what he was hearing.
H.R. 3200, passed by the House in July, contains privileges for the illegal aliens in this country, though Obama denies this fact. Because House Republicans offered an amendment to remove them from this bill and their attempt was rejected. So, folks, they're still in there even though Obama lied and said otherwise.
He tried to smooth over any rough spots and use his ability to orate like a professional - it's what he does best- but many are not buying what he is selling. Obviously he didn't hit the mark with this speech because he had to go out again today and talk about the healthcare issue yet again.
The real truth is he can't possibly deliver this healthcare without increasing the debt. He's talking about using the money to pay for this plan from the misspending of Medicare and the other insurance mismanagement. You remember this Medicare/Medicaid money that they've been looking for for over forty years and still haven't found. The one thing he didn't mention is raising our taxes and you can bet he will.
The saddest part is this bill will probably pass because the Democrats will jam it through in Ted Kennedy's name. And healthcare in this country will equal the dismal failure of England and Canada. Long lines, shortage of doctors and even longer delays for surgeries and hospital care is what we have to look forward to in this country. We can only hope the next administration will repeal what damage this man is about to do to this country.
We are just beginning to see the Obama plan, more government control in our lives. Change is here, folks. And it's not the kind of change we need. ~One Voice

American Czars

2009-09-07T08:54:00.000-07:00

Obama is surrounding himself with malcontents and calling them Czars. Webster defines a czar as "an emperor of Russia (1), or any person in a position of power, as a high public official.(2)" This was a term fashioned on royal leaders who were often considered tyranical or dictatorial. And Obama has a whole plethora of them all positioned around him. What is he up to? He says they are advisors. But are they really part of his "Chicago Mafia?" Hitler had his inner circle, too, that obeyed his demands and carried out his misguided orders.
There are many who are starting to question Obama's likeness to a dictator. He is determined to enforce his kind of law-his version of healthcare as a state run program; his version of more government and less freedom. His supporters are slowly trying to work their way around to infringing on our personal freedoms. The Fairness Doctrine is said to be the next big attack against our Constitution. I even heard one commentator on a news program insist that the "Constitution was written by rich old white men and it was time to change it." That is sacrilege!
What has happened to this country? Be afraid, people, be very afraid. Once they take the Constitution down, the very cornerstone of this nation, what is next? Is nothing sacred to these left wing zealots?
Will those people who disagree with their "master plan" be eliminated? Will they be interred in prison camps? Sounds extreme, doesn't it? But did you know that the conservative African Americans have been silenced with death threats? The left has the power and they plan to keep it no matter what the cost.
Is revolution coming? Do we have to fight for our freedom all over again? I know I sound like a Glenn Beck alarmist, but the more I see and hear, the more I fear this administration. How long before they take our TV's and radios and give us state run programming? And most of the Americans haven't got a clue. They ride along fat, dumb, and happy and are ready to sing "Kum Bayah."
I feel like I don't know these Americans who can't see or hear the real message being spoken. I can recall someone saying that Communism would come into this country without a shot being fired. I'm beginning to fear they were right. ~One Voice

Town Meeting, Cincinnati Style

2009-09-05T21:44:00.000-07:00

America can be proud! September 5, 2009 was a glorious day for ths country. Tea Parties have been celebrated all across this country for several months now and the Tea Party Express is making it's way across the nation and will wind up in Washington, D.C. to confront Congress with the message that we are taking back America.
Today, it was Cincinnati's turn to turn out and have their "town meeting." Though the guest speakers didn't arrive until after five o'clock, the crowd was vocal but considerate. There were lots of signs celebrating America and voicing displeasure at Obama and Congress. I stood with the rest of them for over 4 hours on a sunny, hot day and my heart swelled with pride at the turn out of people. There were over 18,000people that gathered from north of Columbus, Ohio to Kentucky and Indiana. Some drove several hours just to be there.
I was forced to leave earlier than I had planned and missed the last 2 speakers, but even at that, the overwhelming message that came through loud and clear was this: We want to take back America. While Obama plots and schemes, Americans let their representatives in Washington know, we are not pleased and want the healthcare bill defeated.
Most Americans don't want a healthcare plan run by the government. The overall consensus was less government, more freedom. Most all the people want to work for a living and don't want the government telling them how to spend their money. Few people believe that spending more money will get us out of the economic miseries we're experiencing now.
As an attendee, I was proud to be a part of this wonderful day. And yes, I was a little uncomfortable over the long, hot afternoon, but the pain was well worth the joy and pride I take in this country.
And though there were probably more Republicans in attendance, party was not an issue. This was a group of Americans fighting for what they believe in.
Invitations went out to both sides of the aisle, but only Repbulicans accepted and came to the town meeting to be confronted by their constituents.
The crowd wasn't raucous and shouting, but were gracious while still getting their points across. Many flags flew proudly and red, white and blue dominated the color scheme.
I found it interesting that some local news stations skimmed over the huge crowds and focused instead on a small meeting at the West Chester Library of Obama healthcare supporters. There were perhaps about 50 people in attendance.
I wonder if Obama's visit tomorrow will be as well attended as our tea party.
Kudos to all the Cincinnati Tea Party volunteers for a job well done. The event was well organized with plenty of information available on the Tea parties efforts to get the word out on petitions and amendments that will affect us all.
It was a brilliant move to make copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence available to all who attended.
America is alive and well in Cincinnati. ~ One Voice

"The Green Czar" Admitted Communist

2009-09-03T17:40:00.000-07:00

Every day the news goes from bad to worse. Van Jones, the new "Green Czar" appointed by Obama, is an admitted Communist. This man is definitely a "white hater." I heard him speaking with my own ears and I am appalled that this man has the ear of a sitting President.
He is also an admitted "9/11 Truther." This is a group that believes that George Bush and the United States government plotted and planned the 9/11 attacks, killing thousands of people in the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. How did people like this get into a position of power? Thank you, Mr. President! You are looking more foolish every day. It's obvious that this country has made a huge mistake in electing this man.
I am very worried for this country. People with little or no knowledge of how this country works have voting rights and they don't even have the common sense to question who is running and what their platforms are. I fear for our future when we must leave the leadership choices to the uninformed masses of young people who are reaching voting age.
"A man is judged by the company he keeps." Need I say more? All of these negative characters that surround Obama can't help but pull him down. And you can't tell me that he is clueless in these appointments. If he has turned over selection of these appointees to Raum Emanuel and the other "Chicago Mafia" team members, his judgment is definitely skewed.
Van Jones needs to be replaced immediately if Obama wants to retain any credibility in this country. To appoint a known communist to a high White House level position is totally insane. Supposedly this man was vetted, but the question is who was doing the vetting?
This is more than a Republican vs. Democratic issue. This is a question of doing what is right for the country and for all Americans. ~ One Voice

Cincinnati Tea Party

2009-09-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

Saturday, September 5, 2009 at the Voice of America Park, Cincinnati gets its turn to hold a Tea party. Guests will include Senate Minority Leader John Boehner, Representative Jean Schmidt, and Republican candidate for Governor, John Kasich. There were many Democrats invited to attend but so far none has accepted. Gee, I wonder why!
Recently Steve Driehaus appeared at a Republican sponsored event to answer questions from his constituents. It was open to anyone who wanted to attend. Apparently, Mr. Driehaus did not fare well. Perhaps he is hiding because his constituents were not pleased with his performance to date.
I am a little disappointed that the guests will not be appearing until late in the program, only an hour before the scheduled event closing.
Next week Obama is scheduled to go on the air waves yet again to discuss the Obamacare plan. It is rumored that he will back off the plan and try to get parts of it passed without the public option. We'll see.
For all of you who read this, please go to www.cincinnatiteaparty.org and RSVP to attend this event. Let your voice be heard loud and clear and let everyone know what your feelings are.
Who knows? With the current administration's efforts to stifle our right to speak out and be heard, this privilege may not be with us for long. And I hope everyone will follow along with me and refuse to vote for anyone who votes with Obama on this travesty called healthcare reform. ~One Voice

The Democratic Healthcare Push

2009-08-31T09:20:00.000-07:00

It's coming soon, folks! Senator Harry Reid has stated that if the Rebpulicans don't make the Obamacare a bi-partisan bill, the Democratic Congress will push it through on their own. Despite what the people want they are going to pass healthcare reform. Apparently, it doesn't matter what the people think.
As we speak there is a busload of people heading to D.C. to voice their displeasure with the way Congress is behaving. Will it do any good? I doubt it.
The Congress seems to think they are above reproach of any kind. They just don't get it. They think they can ride roughshod over the people and there will be no recrimination.
Guess again, people! We are mad as hell that you won't listen to us and we will take action, Harry. Your poll numbers are already double digits below your opponents. You will not have the power long, Harry. And anything you push through this year will only fuel the fires against you and your fellow Democrats. And don't think Obama is going to help you becuase he'll be going in 2012.
Remember it is the people who put you where you are and if you don't listen to them, why on earth would they send you back to do more harm to this country?
The tide is turning as more and more Americans refuse to take a back seat and let the Congress push something they don't want upon them.
The Democratic majority doesn't want to listen. In fact, they want to take away our right to free speech. They're working on removing differing viewpoints from the air waves right now.
Didn't they take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution? They are doing everything they can to abolish the rights established by our fore-fathers. Don't let them get away with taking away our rights and freedoms.
The time to act is now. Write you Congressmen and Senators and let them know where you stand. Just say NO! ~ One Voice

Racism: The Great Divide

2009-08-24T18:35:00.000-07:00

Nothing enrages me more than to hear the term racist. We've been hearing it pretty often of late. Webster defines racism as "the belief that one's race is superior." When we criticize someone of another race because we don't agree with their beliefs or principles, how is that racism? Just because they look different than we do and we don't agree with them, that's racism?
Glenn Beck, a recent guest on The O'Reilly Factor called Obama a racist, that he doesn't like white people. Big mistake, I'll admit. He was stating his own personal opinion. While I never much cared for this man's program (a top rated show in the 5:00 time slot on FOX against the other networks), I defend his right to state his opinion. A group called colorofchange.com, a proven Obama affiliated organization, has struck a campaign to have all advertisers boycott this show. And supposedly 33 have done so.
But the boycott seems to have strengthened the numbers backing Beck. While I don't agree with his comments I applaud his fearless attitude. This is America and he can say what he feels. That's what freedom of speech means. The same way this colorofchange.com site can state their opinion. But what I am against is a group of people who clearly have "racial issues" and can start a campaign to ruin a person's life.
Are we coming down to fighting the civil war all over again? Sometimes I think that's where we are headed. I find no fault with a black man being president; that doesn't mean I have to agree with his beliefs. Does that make me a racist?
I've said before that we need to stop the namecalling, but that's a two way street, folks. When black groups attack white people, are we not allowed to defend ourselves without being labeled racists?
Why can't we just get along and work together for the common good of this country without injecting vitriol and race into everything we do?~ One Voice

What Do Americans Want?

2009-08-20T14:48:00.000-07:00

Talk to the voters under 25, and you'll hear praise and glory for Obama. He's the Messiah come back to save the world.
Talk to the older voters and you'll hear an entirely different story. They can't wait for the next election to vote against him.
Who's right? What do the majority of Americans want?
They want jobs, Mr. Presidnet. With an increase in jobs, the economy goes up, the government gets more money and the people are happy. Without jobs, there is no money to spend on cars from GM gov or any other car company. No money to spend on food, let alone purchase extras, like clothes, houses, and big screen TV's. Have you looked at how many people have declared backruptcy in the last couple of years, Mr. President? People need jobs before healthcare plans, before worrying about the wars, before they care what happens around the world. Where are all those jobs you were going to create? No one is hiring Mr. President. More and more companies are laying off workers. Is this the America you envisioned?
I keep hearing stories that this is what the Democrats want: the people on the government rolls. Keep them down, don't let them get ahead. More government, less choice. I hope that isn't true but I haven't seen much evidence to the contrary. If Obama gets his way, and they pass this healthcare package, there will be even more people laid off when all the insurance companies go under. And they will go under. No one will be able to go lower than the government plan because of business overheads and payrolls that have to be met. Nothing to be done but downsizing and finally, bankruptcy and closure. Then he'll have his public system and more people than ever living off the government.
I never thought I'd see us living off the government and being cheered on to do it. I thought this was a country where people had a strong work ethic and people were encouraged to get off welfare and work for a living. I never thought I'd see us go into another depression. Yes, I said depression. We are a hair's breadth away from it right now.
So, Mr. President, we need jobs to survive in this country. If you'd get everyone back to work, there would be money going into Social Security and Medicare and those programs could be saved. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Our fore-fathers must be spinning in their graves at the way this country is being run now. Did you know these far left progressives have taken any mention of fore-fathers out of school textbooks? And Teachers can't get jobs, Mr. President. That's a sad commentary to our education system.
Change, yes we can! I see a big change coming. There was another president around when the country was in dire straits, Mr. President. Jimmy Carter, perhaps you've heard of him? He had a short run and so will you, Mr. President. ~One Voice

The Tea Party Movement

2009-08-19T20:44:00.000-07:00

I don't know who started the first one or who had the idea to protest under the Tea Party emblem, but can you see the irony of it? Such an important part of our historic fight for freedom and oppression from the British is reborn in the protest against higher taxes 200 plus years after we bought our freedom. And it has grown into movements of another kind: those in control seek to silence our very freedom of speech. Their bullying tactics will push through Obamacare if we don't stop them.
I understand the fear factor. The people rise up against the government and threaten anarchy. True, there are some anarachists ready to take guns in hand and storm the government offices, but actual everyday citizens are just voicing their God given right to do so. Perhaps there is so much shouting is becuase the government won't listen to what we have to say.
But they're afraid of us, folks! Afraid that we'll upset their apple carts filled with healthcare plans that can only fail. That we'll turn the voters against the administration that they worked so hard to put in place. Congress is the puppeteer and they pull Obama's strings and push and pull him in the directions they want him to go. Not that the insurance programs we have now are perfect. They need overhauling but not at the expense of the elderly. Not at the expense of people's jobs. This plan will bankrupt the private care insurance companies and put even more people out of work. Since Obama doesn't know what's in the plan, it makes you wonder whose plan it really is. But I think we know, don't we?
Leave the insurance companies alone. If you can't run the government programs you know have, how can you possibly run a new one?
You don't have the money, Mr. President! And you promised you would cut taxes not raise them on 95% of the American people. Did you lie, Mr. President?
You are not fulfilling your campaign promises, Mr. President. Don't be surprised if we fire you!
If a Tea Party is organized in your area, throw your support behind the movement (for more information go to www.reteaparty.com). If it worked once, it can work again. Lift your voice and let it be heard, politely, please. But the louder our voices, the more they will have to listen. Because, and this is the truth, we are the power! Not Congress, not the President, but the American people. Stand up for America!~

Obama's Overexposure

2009-08-15T16:38:00.000-07:00

Is anyone else as tired of seeing the President give speeches on television as I am? I don't remember any other President hitting the airwaves on an every day basis the way Obama does. He must have got the teleprompter fixed!
I know he's trying to sell us on his healthcare plan, but please give us a break! These 2 hour speeches are starting to get on my nerves. What can he possibly say today that he hasn't said yesterday or the day before?
Now I'm all for the President giving us updates from time to time, but every day? Count the days if you don't believe me. If George W. Bush had done something like this the media wouldn't have covered it. Or they would have been ripping him apart. But Obama can stand up there and hem and haw all over the place when he doesn't have his teleprompter running, no one says a word.
Well, I don't know about you but I'm certainly suffering from Obama overload. The sad thing is when he does have something important to say, people will be tuning him out. I guess his sympathisers can't get enough of him, and I will admit, I'm not interested in hearing one more time how he inherited this huge deficit.
It's been 8 months he's been in office and he is still laying the deficit blame at G.W.'s feet.
I think it's high time he owned the mess he's made. G.W. only went along with the bail out for the banks and car companies becuase he was leaving and Obama asked him to support him. So he did and Obama has the nerve to blame it on him!
I heard someone in the Grand Junction crowd complain today because he was playing the same old tune. And I agree, it's time he got over himself.
If Obama doesn't have anything better to do than run around the country making speeches, I can think of a few things. Like reading the healthcare bill that is supposed to be his baby and he doesn't even know what's in it. Like try to save Social Security. Like strategize to find Osama Bin Ladin and win the war in Afghanistan. Like find somewhere for the Gitmo prisoners to go if he really intends to close the base.
There are a few issues awaiting resolution, if he's not forgotten that healthcare isn't the only cause for concern in this country.
Give us a break, Mr. President. We don't need another TV star; we have plenty of those as it is. Do the job you were hired to do. ~

White House Emails

2009-08-14T10:50:00.000-07:00

The word going out is that the White House has resorted to sending out emails to private citizens to get their support for the Obamacare health bill. The question is how did they get these email addresses? Is big brother spying on the internet? Or is the Internet Czar capturing all we are writing and forwarding it on to the White House staff?
Yesterday, Major Garrett of Fox News broached the subject with Press Director Gates. He stammered around and finally just ignored the implications, without an answer (his usual response when he doesn't know the answers to the questions). Apparently a large number of people receiving these emails are concerned because the government or someone has obtained all these addresses and are forwarding their form of propaganda to their inboxes.
If George Bush had attempted to do something like this, the ACLU would be screaming about invasion of privacy, and threatening impeachment. The news media would be all over it.
It seems that the far left agenda is safe from any kind of watch dog group. Apparently, right wingers have no rights!
The President doesn't seem to be interested in the will of the American people. He continues to blow millions of dollars on traveling around to deliver his ultimatum. That's what it is folks! We will have the healthcare program whether we want it or not. Never mind that 52% of Americans don't want the program and are happy where they are. They don't want a government run program and who can blame them? The only thing the government can do is bankrupt every program it gets its hands on.
Why don't they give us programs to put people back to work? That would solve a great deal of the problems with the systems we already have. More people working will generate more funds for Social Security and Medicare. Then they could fix the problems with those systems. Stop making giveaway programs available to those who refuse to work and are here illegally. Then maybe we would have enough money for Social Security benefits for the people who have worked all their lives for them.
It makes me nervous when the government starts interfering and having too much say in our lives. Socialism is the far left agenda, and folks, it isn't far away. First, they'll take the insurance and make it federally funded. Private insurance companies will die, more people will be out of work. And those who still have jobs will see the government step in and tell us how much we can make and where we can spend our money. They already tell us what we can eat or drink. If we can smoke and where we can smoke. They've taken over the banks and the car companies.
They're trying to take away our right to assembly and the leaders are calling voicing our opinons, "un-American", labeling us as rabblerousers and evil-doers because we object to their plans.
I, for one have had enough. If this is progress, take me back to the good old days where our only enemy was an Indian or King George III.
What about you? Have you had enough yet? ~ One Voice

Nancy Pelosi In Trouble Again

2009-08-10T19:35:00.000-07:00

When Nancy Pelosi speaks good people everywhere cringe. I thought Joe Biden was the king of the gaffes but Nancy's quickly catching up with him. When commenting on the Town Meeting dilemmas, she called the citizens protesting the new healthcare plan "un-American." If people don't agree with her plans or agendas, they are un-American.
The American people don't want this legislation crammed down their throats. They don't want their private insurance taken from them. And it is their God given right to protest against unfair representation. One of their main concerns is that the Congressmen and women read the bill. Is that too much to ask? And it bothers me that suddenly the far left is calling for investigations on these protests. It was perfectly all right for the Vietnam War protests that they organized. No one said a word about their protests being unfair. Shouldn't conservatives be given the same right? Where is the ACLU now?
I imagine that our forefathers are turning over in their graves at the way the country is being run now. The hard fought freedoms that they bought with their blood are slowly slipping away as we get closer and closer to a socialistic state.
We thought when Reagan told Gorbachev to "tear down these walls" and Communism fell, that our worries were over. That our enemies were finally defeated. But new enemies have emerged and they're tearing the country apart. They are slowly extinguishing the bright light of freedom. And all from inside of our own government. We have leaders now who are from the far left and their agendas are against the very nature of the first government.
So Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid fight to destroy the very foundations of this country and denigrate Americans for being Americans. If left alone, the liberals will totally change this country. It's already started.
Write, phone, and email your Congressmen and women and let them know how displeased your are with them. You are their boss. It's your decision as to whether you send them back to Washington or not.
It's time we took action. ~ One Voice

Sarah Palin: Love her or Hate her?

2009-08-08T09:07:00.000-07:00

She's brash, she's direct, and she's outspoken. But why do so many people hate her? I have a theory that I'll get to in a moment.
Sure, she's been in the public eye as the running mate of John McCain and as the governor of Alaska. As a public figure on the national stage, she was bound to stir up controversy and plenty of criticism. But what this woman has experienced on a personal level borders on insanity.
I get that once you step on the public stage, you are open for criticism. But this is more than criticism when your children are held up to public ridicule. This is intolerable! When did families become fair game for the media's attacks? Comedians and late night talk show hosts have always made fun of candidates. I understand that, but since when is it permissable to attack a candidate's children? Would Hillary Clinton have put up with this? Or Laura Bush? I don't think so. Sarah Palin, as a parent, was perfectly correct to stand up for her children's rights.
What kind of society have we become that the media can ruin a person's life just because they can? A very sad society indeed. What this woman has had to endure is reprehensible. The media can tear apart family life in this country without batting an eye. They are biased in their coverage. They can ridicule Sarah Palin's family but when John Edwards adultery scandal hit, they didn't say a word.
They can ridicule a woman's right to value life, even a life that will undoubtedly offer complications. They talk about giving a woman the right to choose and when she opts for having a special needs child, she is forced to suffer slings and arrows because of that choice. I applaud Sarah Palin for her choice to have and care for a special needs child. He will have a tough road ahead of him without being made fun of in the media.
As to the reason behind the media's constant attacks on this woman, I can only suggest that they fear her. Why else would they keep hammering away at her? Every public speaking engagement she attends is well attended. She offers enthusiasm and she's down to earth, just what this country needs. Whether she chooses to go into higher office or not, she is well liked by the people who support her.
Unfortunately, those big old boys that run the Republican party will probably not let her in. She's a threat to them as well.
If she does opt for public life, will she continue to face ridicule? Probably, because the all powerful Media is going to continue to make her life difficult. Once you step onto the public stage, you expect it. But leave her family alone! ~

Name Calling Goes Too Far

2009-08-06T18:04:00.000-07:00

We have reached an all time low in this country. Not everyone agrees with each other. That's okay. That's what America is all about~the freedom to express your thoughts and debate with each other.
What is not all right is the vitriol namecalling that is going on in the media. I have to admit I listen to Rush and agree with most of what he says. I do not agree with calling the Democratic Party "Nazis." I do not agree with Mike Molloy (sp) calling for Glenn Beck to commit suicide on the air. Debate is fine. Personal attacks are not. Case in point, becuase Lou Dobbs of CNN had the nerve to question Obama's citizenship, he has been attacked. Not only Mr. Dobbs, but his wife and children as well.
It's okay, people! You can have different points of view. But it's not okay to personally attack someone because they disagree with you.
They talk about Rush Limbaugh, but he's not the only one. And he is not singling anyone out and attacking them personally. He's attacking the party as a whole. Not that I excuse anyone for referring to the party as Nazis. I do not agree with the party because I am a conservative. For example, I do not agree with censorship and that's on the agenda for Congress. To close down radio talk shows again limiting our freedoms.
If you don't like what talk radio is saying, you don't have to listen. But to punish the American people who want to listen is just plain wrong.

"Dangerous Nuts"

2009-08-04T20:03:00.000-07:00

Have you heard the latest? The Obama spin goes like this: If you show up at town meetings or rallies where your Congressional representatives are appearing, and you don't agree with the healthcare plan and voice your opposition, you are a dangerous nut!
When I mentioned losing our liberties in my first blog post, I wasn't kidding. Now they're working on freedom of speech. You aren't allowed to be disrespectful, and I get that, but if you disagree with those in power, you are a dangerous nut.
The Obama news media doesn't even cover these meetings. The far left is too busy bending over backwards to bow down to the President to report the real news.
Since when is it wrong to express our displeasure at being railroaded into something we don't want? Let the country hear your raised voices against this tyranny! The majority of people with insurance coverage in this country are happy with their plans. It is unfortunate that not all are covered but what about Medicaid? Wasn't Medicaid started to help those who didn't have insurance? Why not fix the problems instead of starting a new one that they have no hope of financing?
The voice of dissent is not screaming for anarchy. They're saying "Read The Bill." Both parties had better listen to their constituents. 'Cause guess what? Come November 2010 there's going to be some big changes in D.C.
This "dangerous nut" is proud to lend a voice to the effort to stop an idiotic plan that will bankrupt our nation. ~ One Voice

Healthcare Obama Style

2009-08-04T07:05:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you, but I'm just plain scared! From what I've heard the new healthcare plan is another of Obama's welfare programs that give the government more control over our lives. So tell me, how are we different from socialism? From communism where the government tells us what we can eat, what we can drink, what we can drive, and what doctor and hospital we can go to? The thing that concerns me the most is now that I'm getting older, suppose the doctor they choose for me says "Oh, you're too old for that expensive procedure. Too bad!"
Don't tell me they won't because I won't believe you. Part of this new plan is preparing for end of life care. So now the government will be deciding when it's time for us to die!
Please people wake up! Write, call, visit your congressmen, senators, anyone who can help us stop this travesty. Hit them where it hurts - at the ballot box.
I understand that healthcare needs to be overhauled. But not abolished! We have the best healthcare system in the world. But listening to Obama lie over and over again and tell us we can keep plans that we already have if we want is a bad joke. How long do you think we'll have those plans available? Companies will not offer insurance and we'll be forced to rely on the government plan. Because of the lower cost of government run healthcare everyone will opt to go that route and insurance companies will collapse. That means more layoffs, more unemployment, more people on welfare. The time to act is now. We're running out of time. ~One Voice
