Who Is Spying On Whom?

Alright. I would like anyone who reads this to send it to your liberal friends or anyone who claimed to be upset because President Bush was "spying" on United States citizens. Look at the below Glenn Beck video. It is five minutes long but well worth watching.

So, the United States government says that your computer now belongs to them. And they will pass information over to foreign law enforcement. And they can continue to monitor your computer. Talk about spying on citizens. How soon will this extend to all government agencies.

People, it is way pass time for us to wake up and start taking back our country. And I am not just talking about Obama. I am talking not only about him but our Senators and Congressmen and the bureaucratic statists that want to rule over us.

Call your Congressmen and Senators.

Tea Party Commercial

An extremely powerful video. Watch it. Learn it. Live it.

Send it on. Call your Senators. Call your Congressmen. Take a stand or you will lose this beautiful and great nation.

Boehner Blasts Censorship of Chart

Last week, I posted a chart showing the bureaucratic labyrinth that will occur if the statists in Congress have thier way and vote in a National Health Care bill. It seems this has upset the statists so much that they have attempted to block Congressional Republicans from using the chart when communicating with their constituents. Watch the video below as Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) blasts the statists in their attempt to censor the truth from reaching the citizens.

Here is the text of his speech -

“Mr. Speaker, Democrats in Congress don’t want the American people to see this chart. This is the chart that outlines the Democrat proposal moving through the House of Representatives that contains as many as 53 new Federal programs, Agencies and Commissions. That’s right; they’re trying to restrict Members of Congress from showing this to their constituents. They say it’s misleading. Well, there’s nothing misleading about it. They just don’t want anyone to see it.
“Well, here it is. I’m using it. Are they going to turn out the lights, are they going to turn off the cameras? Why don’t they want the American people to see this?
“Well, I think the American people deserve the truth about the Democrats’ $1.6 trillion takeover of our of our health care system. More bureaucracy, more taxes, more mandates - and more government involvement in your life.
“And guess what? It also means less jobs for Americans. According to a model developed by the President’s own Council of Economic Advisors Chairperson, this proposal will cost Americans some 5.5 million jobs over the next 10 years; the National Federation of Independent Business says that at least a million small business jobs will be lost; and, even the Congressional Budget Office over the weekend made it clear that this will cost low-wage workers an opportunity to get a job.
“Listen, after the ‘stimulus’ didn’t work, most of my constituents are continuing to ask the question, ‘where are the jobs?’
“We have a ‘stimulus’ that’s not working, we have a national energy tax bill that came through here this month that will cost millions of Americans their jobs, and while this will ruin the health care system that we enjoy in America, let’s not forget, it will cost us millions of American jobs when most Americans continue to want to know, ‘where are the jobs?’”

I suggest anyone reading this call their Congressman - especially if they are a Democratic statist - and ask why they want to censor this chart.

For those who want to know what a statist is and why I use the term in labeling the Congressional Democrats, please read this definition -

stat·ism - n. The practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.

Is this not what the Democratic statists want to do - to take control over the economy. Please call your Congressman and Senators today. Be polite but remind them that they work for us and we do not want the government taking over our health care system.

Text of H.R. 45: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

I received this in an email today -

This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009....

We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyle's radio program.

Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because it is flying under the radar.

To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered
You are fingerprinted
You supply a current Driver's License
You supply your Social Security #
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing

Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.

There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.

They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

Now, I get a lot of emails along this line and even though this is rated true by Snopes.com, I decided to do some independent checking. Govtrack.us will provide all the information you need.

My email said to send this to all the hunters I know. Why do people have the misconception that the 2nd Amendment protects the rights of hunters. The 2nd Amendment protects the citizens of the United States against their own government!

Please pass this along. Call your Reps to kill this bill.

Arrested Harvard Prof Has 'Stupidly' Played the Race Card His Whole Life ( "race hustler" )

humanevents.com ^ 07/27/2009 Jack Thompson

In 1990 I served the federal court here in South Florida as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in the obscenity trial that determined Miami rap group 2 Live Crew’s album As Nasty As They Wanna Be was obscene and thus not protected by the First Amendment.

The verdict -- the first in world history that a sound recording was obscene -- was handed down by Jose A. Gonzalez, Jr., a liberal judge appointed by President Carter and who was hailed for his civil rights record by the ACLU and the rap group’s lawyer when the case was assigned to him.

Any successful effort to have the album declared not obscene had to rely upon the testimony of an expert brought in by the ACLU and the rap group’s lawyer. The expert’s name was Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the Harvard professor arrested this week in Cambridge, Mass., by police officers who President Obama last week at his press conference said, “acted stupidly.” Obama said this after he first said he didn't have all the facts. Does this make you wonder what else he is giving opinions on without "all the facts?"

With Gates’ shouted and now repeated assertions that the officer who arrested him is a “racist,” and the President's ignorant assertion that Gates, whom Obama knows, is a victim of “racial profiling,” what you the reader need to know is that the only racist in this situation is most likely Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. I should know.

At the 2 Live Crew trial, Gates testified that the rap album which describes gleefully the raping and beating of black women was on a par with the art found in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The editorial policies of HUMAN EVENTS appropriately prevent me from sharing with you the sordid lyrics from that album, but I can tell you that when I appeared on Phil Donohue’s national television program with 2 Live Crew, one of the guests uttered just one line of the lyrics and the broadcast was immediately terminated all along the Eastern seaboard where it was airing live. This was art? Apparently the liberal network we were on didn’t think so.

At the trial, Gates explained to Judge Gonzalez that whites simply cannot comprehend the beauty and worth of such black art. He swore that the concerns about selling this pornographic album to adults and kids alike stemmed from white racism. Look online at Gates’ bio. His entire career is built upon the premise that whites are most likely racists and blacks are nearly always victims of those white racists. This guy plays the race card from a deck of 52 race cards.

You maybe had to be there at the trial to believe what you were hearing -- or maybe not. Judge Gonzalez found the race-centric testimony of Professor Gates to be utterly unbelievable and absurd, and he indicated just that in his 62-page opinion.

After the verdict, the NAACP’s Dr. Benjamin Hooks weighed in on the controversy and rebutted with one sentence everything Professor Gates has built a career upon: “2 Live Crew apparently doesn’t understand that celebrating the raping of black women is not entertainment, and it is not art.” The vast majority of the phone calls and letters I got thanking me for my efforts in getting this album declared obscene were from African American parents, and one call I shall never forget was from a teenaged black girl whose friend was raped by a gang who played the album on their boom box during the rape.

So, as you behold the unfolding of this controversy that now has trapped the White House, and you hear Professor Gates’ and his surrogates’ charges that white racism is why he was arrested, take this word of advice from someone who saw this academic weirdo close up: Consider the source.

The Necklace
July 18, 2009 12:36 am

-
IT'S A COLD, gray morn- ing. The sky is dark and it looks like it's going to rain. But there are lots of families here waiting in line for the new link. Up ahead through the crowd I see my friend Angie and her mom walking back from the front of the line.
"Hey Angie!" But Angie just manages a weak smile and a wave as her mom pulls her past us. Her mom is wiping away tears.
"They said I'm too sick for the new link," Angie says. With a bony white hand Angie is holding her collar closed against the wind. Her mom has her other hand, pulling her along. Angie is pale and spindly 'cause she's got some serious disease I can't pronounce.
"But they've got a link for doctors and hospitals," I call after her. But Angie is gone now, behind us and out of sight.
I look up at Daddy and he looks worried, so I try to cheer him up.
"Will the new link be as shiny as these?" I finger the links of necklace around my neck.
"It'll be a beautiful new link, honey, I promise. And this one's an important one. This link is for if you go to college someday. College will be free--if they send you to college."
"And they're gonna send me, right, Daddy--so I don't have to work in the factory--or I don't have to do community service?"
"Shhh--someone will hear you!" Daddy looks around nervously. I bite my lower lip 'cause I realize I'm talking loud.
"All work is good, dear," Daddy says. "And everybody has to contribute--no matter where they send us."
I hold Daddy's hand tight and I smile. Daddy always has the right answers. I'm tired and my legs are tired and I try to think about when we're finally at the front of the line. At the front of the line, I'll get my new link welded onto my necklace. It'll be a college link--to go with the other links for food and housing and mass transit and community service. But I don't know if I still believe it.
"But these links don't always work, do they, Daddy?"
"Shhh! Sure they do. Don't ask so many questions, honey."
"But the doctors and nurses link isn't helping Angie--just like it didn't help you when you were sick."
"That's because Angie's got something real expensive to treat. And me? I'm older. And there's just so much medicine available, and just so many doctors and nurses to go around. So strong, healthy people like you get cared for first. Young people and people who can someday be part of the work force. Us old folks--and really sick people like Angie--well, we just wait for what's left. Anyway, back in my day, growing up, we didn't have links and necklaces and such."
"What did you do when you needed something?"
"Everyone had to do for themselves. We had to work hard and study hard and discover things and invent our own things."
"That must have been really hard."
"It was. And some people got really rich and really famous--and others didn't work hard and they stayed poor."
"That's no fun."
"Oh, in some ways it was fun. I guess, if the truth be told, even when it was tough it was exciting. But we changed all that--my generation did. We made sure we got better leaders in Washington--leaders who finally got away from the Constitution and started taking care of us. So now you have that necklace--and I have a necklace. All the people have necklaces that keep us all safe. And keep us all equal. Nobody rich, nobody poor. We all work for each other--and they divide everything up equally."
"Do you think my necklace is getting too long, Daddy?"
"It's beautiful. What's the matter, don't you like it?"
"I love it, Daddy. Only it hurts my neck."
"That's a small price to pay when you think about how the government is keeping us all safe "
"Angie doesn't call it a necklace."
Daddy doesn't answer me, but I can feel his arm around me.
"Angie calls it a chain, Daddy."
"Angie will never understand," Daddy says quietly.
I'm tired and the line is long. The light rain is steady now. I lean against Daddy and hug his leg.
"I love you, Daddy." I smile up at him. He smiles back. How do I tell him that with each new link, my necklace grows heavier and heavier?

Goldman Sachs or How' That Hope and Change Thing Going

A quick video from Glenn Beck concerning our government and Goldman Sachs. I ask all of you - how do you like hope and change now?

Time To Take A Stand!

I'm back!

Today, the Senate passed a bill to expanding the SCHIP program which supposively adds 4 million lower-income children to government insurance programs. The bill allows households that make over 85k a year or those who already have private health insurance, to have their health insurance covered by the government. This is insane! This is socialized health care. It is time to get off our collective arses and stop the socialization of the United States.

There are plenty of RINOs out there - Republicans In Name Only - that need to either crap or get off the pot. It is time to take a stand. If you can't stand up for conservatism, then you need to leave the Republican Party. And I will start calling out RINOs - INCLUDING THOSE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN CALVERT COUNTY!

In the meantime - listen to the great Ronald Reagan talk about the dangers of socialized medicne -

This Guy Is Nothing But A Thug

I want you to look at this video -

This was back in August of this year, as he spoke about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes, you saw it correctly. Senator Barack Hussein Obama gave the middle finger to Senator Clinton. And the audience knew it as you can tell by their response. Now, take a look at this video as Senator Obama talks about Senator McCain -

It doesn't matter if this guy wins or not. In a perfect world, he shouldn't even be where he is. But there are people who vote for him regardless what he does or says. Shame on you for voting for this thug. He has no class, no style, and no respect for anyone who competes against him. He is nothing but a thug from the corrupt Chicago/Illinois political machine where the motto is the fix is in! If you support him it tells me you also have no class, no style. That you don't care about this country.

It doesn't matter if this thug wins or not. I will never support him and I will constantly tell people he is nothing but a Marxist thug.

Legendary Marine Passes On

No politics today. I want to take this time to inform people of a hero. The below story is from Townhall.com - a conservative Internet site - and is written by W. Thomas Smith, Jr. You will not see this on the evening news nor will you read about Col. Ripley on any liberal/leftist sites. After reading the below article, please say a prayer for Col. Ripley and his family.

COL. JOHN W. RIPLEY, U.S. MARINE CORPS (ret.), recipient of the Navy Cross and for years one of my personal heroes, has passed away.

Ripley, 69, was awarded the Navy Cross – the nation’s second-highest award for valor in combat – for single-handedly blowing up the Dong Ha Bridge in Vietnam, thus blunting the North Vietnamese Army's Easter Offensive on April 2, 1972.

The enemy was attacking in great strength – huge numbers of infantry, tanks, artillery – and Ripley's little force was ordered to "hold and die."

Dying would be easy. But the only way to hold was to blow the bridge spanning the Dong Ha River. And, as Ripley said, he was "the Marine there to do it."

Then a 33-year-old captain, Ripley accomplished his task by dangling from the bridge's I-beams, climbing along the length of the bridge hand-over-hand, his body weighted down with explosives, the enemy shooting at him, desperately trying to kill the lone Marine hanging beneath the bridge.

In a June 16, 2008 interview for Marine Corps Times, Ripley said “I had to swing like a trapeze artist in a circus and leap over the other I-beam. ... I would work myself into the steel. I used my teeth to crimp the detonator and thus pinch it into place on the fuse. I crimped it with my teeth while the detonator was halfway down my throat.”

Ripley set the charges and moved back to the friendly side of the river, all the while under heavy fire.

When the timed-fuses detonated, Ripley – running for his life on the road leading away from the bridge – was literally blown through the air by the massive shockwave he had engineered. The next thing he remembered, he was lying on his back as huge pieces of the bridge were hurtling and cartwheeling across the sky above him.

In an interview for Americans at War (U.S. Naval Institute), Ripley said, "The idea that I would be able to even finish the job before the enemy got me was ludicrous. When you know you're not gonna make it, a wonderful thing happens: You stop being cluttered by the feeling that you're going to save your butt."

A Virginia native, Ripley served in the Marine Corps for 35 years: He commanded three Marine infantry platoons (one rifle, one weapons, one reconnaissance), three rifle companies, a British Royal Marine Commando company (which operated alongside Gurkha infantry in Malaya), a U.S. Marine rifle battalion and a Marine infantry regiment. He also held a variety of other posts from professor to university president. He directed the Marine Corps' History and Museums Division. He testified before Congress on the dynamics and rigors of combat. And a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan was named for him.

In addition to being one of the Corps greatest heroes and a legend among midshipmen at Annapolis (his alma mater), this year Ripley became the first Marine inducted into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame.

Incidentally, a signed copy of Col. Charles H. Waterhouse's painting depicting Ripley's exploits at the Dong Ha Bridge hangs in my office as a reminder that – as we read in Philippians – "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Considering the lives saved and the superhuman feat performed under intense enemy fire at Dong Ha, I believe Col. Ripley's Navy Cross should have been – and should be – upgraded to the Medal of Honor.

A quick post this Saturday night. I saw this last week and wanted to post it earlier. However, with Senator Barack Hussein Obama, it is something new every day. Watch the below video:



Please, anyone reading this and is an Obama supporter, can you tell me what he means by this? Why does the national news media not discuss this? Combine this with Senator Biden's warning concerning an international crisis that the citizens will not be happy with how their administration will contain it and you can come up with some scary scenarios. Why exactly is Obama calling for another national security force?

This video begins that this is what Hitler did. That is true but it is not just contained to Hitler. You examine every country that swung over to a Socialistic totalitarian state. Those in charge always had a secret police force.

Do You Know Senator Obama?

One week to go. One more week and I want to ask you what you know about Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Let me ask three questions that are popping up on the internet.

Is Senator Obama a United States citizen? What a stupid question, you are saying to yourself. Of course, he is a citizen, you say. He was born in Hawaii and Hawaii is a state. I ask the question because the Illinois senator will not release his birth certificate. It’s a simple request and a simple act. Senator John Sydney McCain has released his birth certificate. All you have to do is go to the government office that keeps your birth certificate in the county you were born, make the request, pay a small fee, and usually within five minutes, you have your birth certificate. In fact, in order to get a drivers license or an international passport, you have to show your birth certificate. You can even request a copy of your birth certificate through the mail, which my wife did when we got married. My wife was even able to obtain the birth certificate of her father after he passed away. So I ask the question – why doesn’t Senator Obama show us – the citizens – his birth certificate? And why is his birth certificate sealed so that nobody can look at it.

How healthy is Senator Obama? Senator McCain has released his medical records, over two thousand pages. We do know a little about his medical history. He has had some minor skin cancer removed from his face. Of course, there is the matter of his broken bones and his arms pulled out of their sockets due to him being tortured while a POW at the Hanoi Hilton. A fact the Obama campaign knows of but they still make jest of his inability to do simple things with his hands and arms such as use a computer. However, what do we know of Senator Obama? Nothing really because all he has released is a one page summary of his medical history. Now, if you have been paying attention, you should also know a little about Obama’s medical history. One – he is a smoker. How are his lungs and is he at risk of cancer? Two – by his own admission, he is a past drug user. Cocaine and marijuana – again by his own admission. How has these drugs affected his health?

Who is Rashid Khalidi and what is his connection to Senator Obama? Well, if you look him up using Wikipedia, you will find that he is just a misunderstood university professor. If that is so, then why is the L.A. Times not releasing a video of Senator Obama toasting and praising Khalidi? During this toast, the terrorist William Ayers was present. You remember Ayers, the former Weather Underground terrorist that bombed the Pentagon and police stations, now a college professor. Again, we have another questionable friend of Senator Obama’s.

There are numerous questions concerning Senator Barack Hussein Obama. I provided some links above but I urge you to do research on your own. Do not vote from ignorance. Remember – the individual you put in office has the ability to assign people in government positions that will affect you, your children, your grandchildren, and your nation for generations.

Wealth Redistribution

In eight days, the citizens of this great nation will elect a new President. It’s crunch time. I suppose by now the majority of people have made their decision and chosen their candidate. I will vote for Senator John Sydney McCain. If anyone plans to vote for Senator Barack Hussein Obama, I really would like to hear your particular reason why.

I have many reasons why I am voting for Senator McCain, one being voting against Senator Obama. As to why I am against Senator Obama – aside that I am racist white male – I have many reasons to vote against him. One reason is that Senator Obama is for wealth redistribution or socialism. What makes me say this? Well, let’s listen again to Joe the Plumber ask Senator Obama what his plans are if he becomes President.



What is socialism?

A theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
(In Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Look at this video of Senator Barack Hussein Obama from 2001.



Now, many of you have seen these videos and the media as well as Obama supporters have defended and spun his reply. The media and Obama supporters have even gone as far as to investigate Joe the Plumber’s background – illegally using Ohio government computers in doing so. The Obama campaign even objects at the labels of socialism and Marxist. Nevertheless, you have listened to the video. You tell me what Senator Obama wants to do.

Just remember, wealth redistribution is only part of what Senator Obama wants because in order to redistribute anything, it must first be confiscated and controlled. That’s right! To make it simple, if you make 100,000 dollars a year and another person makes 15,000 a year, in order to rise the latter is income, how much of your income must be confiscated? Moreover, don’t think that the government will take enough from you so that both of you make the same. Remember, the government is like the mob – they take their cut!

Read the definition of socialism again. Wealth redistribution is not just your income. It is what you own – your home, your property, your community. Even your retirement. The Democrats have plans for your 401(k). Just follow the 401(k) link and this link as well.

Now, do I have your attention?

There are eight days left in this election. You need to look at history and the outcomes of other nations to see what happens when the government takes over. You need to study the results and consequences of socialism.

Inexperience vs. Experience

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.”

“Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“He’s gonna have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen.”

“We’re going to face a major international challenge. Because they’re going to want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy. They’re going to want to test him. And they’re going to find out this guy’s got steel in his spine.”

"And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Senator Joe Robinette Biden, the Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate, uttered the above quotes. Do his words scare you? They should. He is saying that our enemies will do something to see how much they can get away with if Senator Barack Hussein Obama becomes the President of the United States. Let’s think this through.

In a sense, Senator Joe Robinette Biden is correct. Since World War II, our enemies have tested all of our President, with Soviet Russia being the main instigator. Since World War II, our Presidents were tested with the Cold War, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, China turning to Communism, the rise of Islamic terrorism. The many ways our various Presidents have been tested are too numerous to mention.

While I do not want to demean the past, to be blunt these tests have all happened outside the United States. But that changed on September 11, 2001.

January 2001 we witnessed the inauguration of President George Walker Bush. His first test came when the Chinese Communists forced down one of our planes in their territory. Then came September 11, 2001 when Islamic terrorists decided to push the United States by testing President Bush on our own shores. The citizens learned that day that no longer will the tests imposed on the United States by our enemies will remain overseas.

Up until that time, when our enemies tested our presidents, these “tests” were far from our shores. While our citizens took notice of how their Presidents reacted, the thought that what happened was not in the United States and did not drastically affect us. In the late 1970’s that started to change when Islamic terrorists tested our Presidents by actively targeting our embassies, our citizens, and our military personnel. The ultimate test occurred September 11, 2001. Now Senator Joe Robinette Biden says an inexperienced junior Senator will have to make a decision that the majority of us will not understand and/or like. Do you want to take that risk?

Listen below to the plans Senator Barack Hussein Obama has for the United States if he becomes President –



September 11, 2001 proved that we are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Remember when President Reagan took office and the Iranians released our kidnapped embassy personnel that same day? Why? Because the Iranians knew, that President Reagan was not going to mess around. He was going to get those hostages back.

Now we have an individual poised to be President of the United States who – by his own words – has stated he wants to weaken us militarily and has stated he would meet with our Islamic enemies without pre-conditions. Do you want to risk the deaths of citizens living in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, Norfolk, San Diego, or in any other United States citizen? Do you want to risk a nuclear device or a dirty nuclear device detonated in any of our cities? Do you want to risk the attack and possible destruction of Israel?

I don’t and that is why I am voting for Senator John Sydney McCain. If he had just graduated from the United States Naval Academy and then did nothing else in his life, he still would have done and achieved more than Senator Obama has ever done in his life. However, let’s not forget what else Senator McCain has done.

He was a naval aviator, sitting ready on the deck of an aircraft carrier prepared to defend the United States in case the Soviet Union escalated the Cuban Missile Crisis into a nuclear war. He survived a horrendous fire onboard the USS Forrestal, a fire that nearly sank that aircraft carrier. On a mission during the Viet Nam War, the North Vietnamese shot down his aircraft, took him prisoner of war, and for 5 ½ years they severely beat and tortured him. His captors gave him the chance to go home early. I would not blame him if he took that offer. Nevertheless, he held firm to his core beliefs and training, saying no all the while knowing his decision would only get him more beatings. He has looked evil and death in the eye and made the right decisions. He has made life and death decisions.

Again, think who you would rather be the President if Iran drops a nuke on Israel. Or if bombs are set off in our cities. Or if biological or chemical weapons are released in the United States. It is dangerous lunacy to believe that Senator Barack Hussein Obama will make the right decision to either protect or avenge this nation.

Rush Limbaugh – what can I say? Without him, conservatism would most likely be dead. Ronald Reagan provided him the opportunity when his administration eliminated the Fairness Doctrine. After that, Rush took off and the vast majority of radio talk show hosts today – from the left and the right – owe their success to him. Whether you agree or disagree with him, if you spend time listening to his program, you will find out information that the mainstream media will not report on.

Sean Hannity is another popular radio talk show host and best-selling author. He supports the troops – as Vice President Richard Cheney would say – big time! Moreover, I believe, without him, we would not know anything about William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, ACORN, or anything else concerning Senator Barack Hussein Obama.

Saint John Vianney Catholic Church is the church I attend. This site provides information and links concerning the Catholic faith, the good works performed by this particular church, and links to the Washington, DC Archdiocese.

A short entry for today.

First subject - the election is two weeks away and you have to get out and vote for John McCain. Also, don’t forget to vote for the Republican running in the Senate and Congressional races. Lt. Col. Allen West is running in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District. Andy Harris is running in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District. Michele Bachmann is running a tough re-election race in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District and is targeted by the Democrat Party in a smear campaign. Collins Bailey is running a tough race in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District. And Lt. Col. Bill Russell is running in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District against the detestable John Murtha. Remember him? He accused our Marines of murder for their actions in Haditha, Iraq. Well, the Marine Corps have acquitted all involved Marines. These people need your help. If you have an extra five to twenty-five dollars, please send it to them. Just remember, the money you spend now on the right candidates may possibly save you from paying more in taxes in the future.

Second subject – I blogged last week about Joe the Plumber. Well, it seems after Joe asked Senator Barack Hussein Obama a question; life has been pretty hard for him. The Obama campaign and the Democrat Party have made it all but impossible for Joe to work by sicking Union goons on him. They have dug into his personal life – his work experience, his finances, and even dug out his divorce history. The points you need to remember is not whether Joe has a plumbers license, whether he owes taxes or not, or even anything about his ex-wife. The first point is the answer Senator Obama gave him – "It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.”

The second point is what has happened to Joe since he asked his question. The media and the Democrat Party have dug into his life in an effort to shut him up and intimidate him. The message is the Democrat Party and the lapdog media will attempt to destroy you f you dare question a Democrat.

Well folks – in two weeks it is our turn to say something to them! Don’t let Joe the Plumber be destroyed. Don’t let the Obama campaign relegate this wonderful and powerful nation into a Socialist, second-rate country. Stand up, vote for John McCain, and tell the Democrats that this is the United States of America and we reject socialism!

Meet Joe Wurzelbacher

Have you heard of Joe Wurzelbacher, or as he is now known, Joe the Plumber? I bet you a dollar to a donut that Senator Barack Hussein 0bama wished he never met him. Recently, while campaigning in Ohio and working the rope line; Senator Barack Hussein 0bama met Joe the Plumber. When Joe expressed his concern over Senator Barack Hussein 0bama’s tax plan, he received this reply –

"It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.”


Why didn’t Senator Barack Hussein 0bama just tell Joe “from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs” and then move on. That’s only twelve words compared to the forty-one words of bull he spieled out to Joe. However, this Joe is not your average Joe. Wait, that’s wrong. He is your average Joe. He is the common working man who gets up every morning, puts in an honest days work, and then comes home to take care of his son. Let me tell you a little bit about these average Joes.

These average Joe’s make up the majority of this great country. They are mechanics, plumbers, electricians, elevator repairmen, builders, construction workers, bricklayers – the men and women that build things, fix things that make this country work. I also include in this bunch the firemen, police officers, teachers, and military personnel that ensure our safety and take care of our children.

I have worked with leftists and listened to their disdain for the common working man. I have heard them talk down to waiters and waitresses. I hear them comment on how uneducated these people are, labeling them rednecks and other names I cannot write down less you are offended. Yet when someone breaks into their home, who do they call? These leftists are so smart yet they cannot replace a spark plug. However, America's working men and women understand what is happening to this country.

Mr. Wurzelbacher – Joe the Plumber – nails what Senator Barack Hussein 0bama wants to do to the working men and women of this country. Its socialism, plain and simple.

Let me explain it this way. You have a plumber –a single man – that makes 85,000 dollars a year and pays 28 percent in taxes. The government steals from him at the point of a gun 23,800 dollars. If you raise this working mans taxes by 3 percent – up to 31 percent – then the government is now stealing from this working man 26,350 dollars. Due to this 3 percent increase in taxes, this plumber is now unable to hire a helper. However, if you lower this plumbers taxes by 3 percent – from 28 to 25 percent, the government now steals from this worker 21,250 dollars. Now, the plumber can hire a helper at 35,000 a year. At 22 percent, the government steals from the helper 7,700 dollars. Combined, the government is now taking in 28,950, an increase of 2,600 dollars from the 26,350 the government steals from the single plumber taxing him at 31 percent. Multiplied by millions of workers and businesses and the federal government actually takes in more money by lowering taxes then by raising taxes. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

When the government raises taxes, people spend less. The less people spend – at stores, restaurants, services – less people are hired. Less money goes into the economy. I understand this. Joe the Plumber understands this. Why can’t leftists understand this? The dirty secret is that they do understand this. It is not about raising money or even redistributing wealth. It is about control! It is socialism! I know this and so do Joe the Plumber!

Many of you know dozens of Joe Wurzelbacher’s. Some of you are a Joe Wurzelbacher. Why should you or any Joe Wurzelbacher be punished for working hard. Come this November, you have the choice of punishing the Joe Wurzelbacher’s of this country or give him a break. Do not punish the working man by voting for Senator Barack Hussein 0bama. If you agree with this, pass it on. If not, delete it and then go vote your freedom away.

Am I A Racist?

Am I a racist? Is this blog a hate site? Well, that is the assessment of the only person that has commented on some of my posts. Moreover, why these charges against me? It stems from my usage of Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name. As the commenter mentioned –

Attempting to drive home the point about Obama's middle name does not help your case for not being racist. Why? It's just a middle name, sure. But why do you use it? The same reason many GOP surrogates use it. To drive home to all the redneck idiots "he is not one of us" (e.g., he is not a white person with Christian ancestors). I don't fear any man simply because his middle name is "Hussein" but many ignorant folks out there do. When you intentionally use "Hussein" in the context you are using it to call attention to Obama's difference in background, which since he is Christian, is largely based around ethnicity. Or you're trying to link him by association to the deceased Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein. Either way, it's a thinly veiled attempt at fear mongering, it's silly, it's childish and a waste of cyberspace. You're too well read to bother with that nonsense.

So by using his middle name I am driving “home to all the redneck idiots "he is not one of us" (e.g., he is not a white person with Christian ancestors).” I guess these “redneck idiots” need someone like me to remind them that Barack Hussein Obama is black because they are unable to turn on a television and see it for themselves. For the record, barrack Hussein Obama not only has Christian ancestors but also has Muslim ancestors. I hope that statement was not too racist!

Maybe I am a racist because I dare to mention Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Wright is a black minister who used to preach at the Trinity United Church of Christ. I implore you to follow the two links and read about Rev. Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ. You should also read more about Black Liberation Theology, which is more Marxist than Christian. I must be a racist because I am not just talking about two black men but I am making charges that these two black men are bad for the United States. Therefore, I must be saying that the United States should not have any black politicians.

On the other hand, maybe I am racist because I try to let citizens know that Barack Hussein Obama – there I go again – has connections to two homegrown terrorists. These two terrorists are William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn. I have mentioned these two in previous posts. Now think about this. Remember Timothy McVeigh? Remember Eric Robert Rudolph? McVeigh was the monster who bombed the Federal building in Oklahoma City. Rudolph is the monster who committed a series of bombings that killed two people and injured 150 others. Can someone please tell me the difference between Ayers and Dorhn and McVeigh and Rudolph? Let me explain the difference – the first two are to the left ideologically while the media label the last two as right-wing nuts. All four are monsters. Yet, Ayers and Dorhn are darlings of the left. In fact, can someone please tell me the difference between William Ayers and Wesley Queen?

Maybe I am racist because I mention the connection between Franklin Raines and Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Is it because Franklin Raines is black? What if I mention ex Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson and Senator Obama; does that make me a racist? What if I bring up ACORN? Alternatively, if I mention Odinga? Or if I raise the subject of Saul Alinsky? Let me answer the question of why I am racist.

I am a racist because I dare to criticize a liberal black politician. I can criticize former Lt. Governor Michael Steele, Justice Clarence Thomas, Economist Walter Williams, author Thomas Sowell, or former ambassador Alan Keyes 24/7/365 and no one would bat an eye. Why? Because all these prominent black men are conservative Republicans. Lt. Governor Michael Steele had Oreo cookies tossed at him during his run for the Maryland Senate seat. The magazine Emerge depicts Justice Clarence Thomas as a lawn jockey on its cover. Police handcuff Alan Keyes and lead him away from a television studio, releasing him in a deserted part of town. Nevertheless, all that is permissible because they are black Republicans.

The race card is the act of a coward. It is used to silence the critics of liberal black leaders. Moreover, all too often, Republicans allow themselves to be silenced. Well, it is time to stop this nonsense. The Obama campaign and the leftist media label me a racist – and others – not only because we dare criticize him but we do not plan on voting for him. This is a despicable act of pulling the race card.

I use the full name for Senator Barack Hussein Obama solely because the left does not want me to. It may be childish but it is not racist. That is his name. Either live with it or change it. But no one has the right to tell me what I can or cannot say – be they Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. If I allow others to control what I can say with something as innocuous as a name, than it opens the floodgates as to what else I can speak out against or allowed to say. I did not spend eighteen years in the United States Navy so I can have a Chicago Marxist thug – yes I said it – tell me what I can or cannot say.

I’ll say this again – Barack Hussein Obama is bad for this country. All anyone has to do is look and listen. I urge you to have the courage to tell the truth about this man. Do not let anyone still your voice. You are not a racist if you criticize this man or any man or woman, regardless of their skin color. Have courage. Stand up for your country and ignore the race card.
