Government Spending

We have forgotten the words of Patrick Henry:

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."
The role of government in the economy has spiked. Government spending now represents 40% of the U.S. gross national product.

Just One State's Stats

If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will!

From the L. A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County )

(All 10 of the above statements are from the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue

HOW CAN YOU HELP ?

Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 would be even better.

This is only one State...............

If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will! November 2010 cannot come soon enough.
And you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!

If George Bush were an Idiot....?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless.

If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceded, egotistical idiot.

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and "potatoe" as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree
on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 12 months -- so you'll have three years to come up with an answer.

A Broken Mailbox Article

A nice warm blanket and a cold cup of bitterness

So the HOA said that I had to fix the mailbox or face more nasty letters and demeaning columns in the neighborhood newsletter. I grabbed an 80-pound bag of quick dry cement, flipped over - at least a little ways- the mailbox and dumped all the cement in the supporting column. Now it is an indestructible receptor of bills! Which will eventually go away as I fully expect to have to turn everything over to Feds in the near future.
Recently, I was thinking that no federal agents descended on my house to fix my broken mailbox. Then I was glad, because the repairs would have been a pink, fluffy mailbox with a rainbow column to represent all the diverse polar bears that have felt like outcast because evolution forced them to live in a frozen waste land rather than in our beautiful national parks like the smart grizzlies! And so in the quiet of the evening I turn on speeches by Patton and R. Regan to remember that once there were leaders that had common sense enough to hunt polar bears rather than be hunted.
So this lighted my mind to were we are today with leadership, and how we got there. After the greatest generation finished kicking the crap out of European socialist and commies they came home in 1945. Twenty years later their kids, forgetting what their fathers did for them, exercised their protected rights to protest against the power that secured those rights for them. And just to make it legitimate, they used vast quantities of drugs and read Marx, and got PhD's from ivy leagues in difficult subjects like how do you feel about being suppressed in the most open, and free society ever in the history of man?
Conclusion: "Ohhh man, it sucks, like...it bites...and and and ...fur sur, the man is keeping me down, like I want to work..." "Harvard calls this conclusion a miraculous piece of humanistic insight to the imperialistic behavior of American military might!"
Twenty years later, 1985, the great Regan is in power but what of the offspring of commie loving hippies? They morphed into newscasters and liberals, they never had the paternal love that human nature craves in its infancy, so now they think that everyone wants a security blanket; after all, it helped them cope with drugged out commie professor parents. So they began to paint a dramatic picture of the lone man sleeping under newspapers in a concrete jungle where a well-dressed family eats food stolen by a heartless system built up by cold men in board meetings. So they start to promote the softness of security blanket social change. Don't say used car, say pre-owned. Don't say that free market provides the best medical in the world, say 30 million are now uninsured, a heart beat away from financial ruin. Look at those greedy insurance companies enjoying dinner, look at that lone man with no security blanket. Like sheep, we follow, lead by emotional mobs of unloved adults. We signed away our mortgages in the name of bank bailouts, we sign away our health in the name of social justice, we sign away our memory of countless fallen heroes of long wars in the name of hope and change.
-Frank Lee Wright

Chronicles of Liberty

I stumbled across this blog awhile ago and love that it is written by a mom who wants to make a difference. Her post today was a rousing speech by Patrick Henry given in 1775. I love the quote at the top as well,

"The reflection upon my situation and that of this army produces many an uneasy hour when all around me are wrapped in sleep. Few people know the predicament we are in." GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON January 14, 1776

How many of us are wrapped in sleep today, with eyes shut, hoping that others will simply take care of it all and not understanding the predicament we are in.

Nobel Peace WHAT!!?!

My chin hit the floor when I found out Obama won the Nobel Peace prize.

What has he actually done!?! He's given some speeches about how we should be nice to each other and ... what else?? Come on? Seriously???

Watch this video-it might help make you giggle...

Sheriff Gets Harassed by Feds for Arresting Illegals

Finally someone will actually treat the USA with respect!

A sheriff has decided enough is enough and has been arresting illegal immigrants at the drop of a hat. If someone who fits the description of an illegal immigrant commits a minor traffic violation, cops are pulling them over and sending them packing. Apparently the Feds are not OK with that and have said he's not allowed to seek them out specifically. Lame!!! He's doing a fabulous job! I am so proud of this guy-seriously it takes some guts to do what he is doing and I applaud him for it. The fewer illegals we have the better, I say.

Man, nothing made me more furious the other night than watching the woman in front of me who was wearing really nice clothing using a "Lone Star" (welfare) card to pay for the crap she was buying at Wal Mart. She barely spoke English. I had to go to another line I was so angry. What gives people the right to show up over here and mooch off hard working citizens??? I'm sick of it. They're a drain on society and I want them back in their own country... if they want to take the time to become a legitimate citizen, they can stay. If not, they better go. In fact, they shouldn't be allowed to stay here at all unless they're currently a citizen. I wish we had more sheriffs that could stand up for what is right. And I wish we could send them to Washington to clean house as well.

Birth Certificate

It's been bugging me all these months (12, to be exact) that Barack hasn't shown anyone his school records or his birth certificate. I don't get it. Why, as the President of the United States would you not just open your records and let the public concerns be settled? Why are his school records closed.. why is he closing the visitor list to the White House? Why is he so gosh darn secretive??? I just don't get it and don't think it's appropriate for the president of the United States.

Snubbed at the Olympics

Obama went to see if he could help sway the votes for the Olympics to be in Chicago. Not so much, eh Mr. BO?? Maybe you're not as loved as you thought you were.

I've been reading Glenn Beck's "Common Sense" book. I can't put it down, but I don't want to read it so fast I don't have time to absorb each chapter individually. In one of the chapters he talks about taxes, and how the government shouldn't be able to use it as a weapon to the people. If someone does something they don't like, they simply start threatening audits and tax crap. Glenn Beck says, "It's time we take away the ability of the Congress to bribe or punish companies by using the tax code. If a company breaks the law, use the criminal code, not the tax code, to punish them." He continues to point out that the "tax code has never really been about raising revenue as much as it is about punishing opponents, helping friends, or as President Obama says, instituting a system of 'fairness'." For an example he says to consider the following:

• The US House of Representatives used its power to target a group of AIG insurance executives who collected a bonus they were contractually and legally allowed to receive by passing a bill that would have imposed an almost 90% retroactive tax on their bonus money;
• New York state attorney general Andrew Cuomo threatened to reveal the names of AIG employees who were paid a contractual bonus and wouldn't voluntarily return that money;

• GM was required to fire its CEO as a prerequisite to receiving any additional federal bailout money even though the CEO didn't engage in any criminal or corporate malfeasance;
• Banking executives were threatened to accept government bailout funds or risk increased scrutiny and audits;
• Government officials are seeking authority to seize and company the could pose-in their sole opinion-a "systemic" economic risk;
• The sacrosanct "secret ballot" is under assault by union leaders who feel it's more important to get new members than protect free elections;
• The government has suggested it will force states to accept the federal stimulus money even if they don't want it;
• The state of Connecticut has considered legislation that would retroactively raise the state income tax on high wage earners;
• The rich are being vilified and targeted because they are rich. (Class warfare is always politically popular, but common sense tells us that people won't work if they can't keep what they earn. It also tells us that what starts as the government taking on the "rich" always trickles down-remember, in 1913 the income tax was applied to only the wealthiest 1 percent.);
• Executives at AIG, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are all on the federal dole and have received billions in corporate welfare. Executives at all companies received bonuses, but while AIG executives were targeted by Congress and unions, executives at Fannie and Freddi received scant attention due to their ties to government.

It's time for these abuses to stop! "Wake up, America! You have bought into the lie that capitalism is only about money, corporations, greedy businessmen, and corrupt politicians who cut backroom deals. Capitalism isn't about money, it's about freedom-the freedom to try and fail that made the United States the richest industrial nation in the world by 1905 and the freedom that has kept us there ever since."
