What is missing

Regardless what the group is called conservatives have missed the most important aspect of campaigning.  A political campaign is in fact a sales pitch.  It must be delivered using basic salesmanship.  First it is important to get the prospect’s (voter) attention, and then get him/her interested in the pitch.  The third and for sure the most important part is convince the prospect of the benefits to him/her of agreeing with what is being said.   The Democrats have dangled bright shiny beads and sparkling trinkets in front of the voters; “free stuff”. Facts, logic, and reason do not evoke any emotional response, except perhaps resentment.  That is not the emotion that will get people to agree with you.  After showing and convincing the voter that your ideas are of great benefit to him/her, the next step is to put the voter into comfortable, happy, and safe place.  This is done by describing the pleasant situation that will be the result of agreeing with what you are “pitching”.  The finally of any speech must be a call to action.  If the first four parts are done correctly the audience is ripe to follow a suggestion.  Now is the time to “ask for the order”; finalize the sales.  Ask for their support with specific suggestions.  Include how they will benefit through their support.  Present precinct walking and phone banking as a fun social event.  If you are asking for donations, show how and where they are to be used and how important it is to raise whatever amount you need to raise.

It never ceases to amaze me how terrible our candidates are at the art of salesmanship.  I attended several of Sarah Palin’s rallies. She really had as all in the palm of her hand but there was no effective call to action at the end.  The people left there eager to do something, she should have given us better and specific direction.

Republican candidates will continue to come in second best if they do not check out Dale Carnegie’s salesmanship courses.  Let go of all previous conceptions about campaigning.  Realize you are selling something and don’t be shy to use blatant sales tactics.  It might feel strange at first as it did to me.  But once I took this approach seriously, it worked wonders for me.  I increased my sales volume tenfold. I went from $20K to $200K a month after applying these principles.

Self Reliance Lost

Entrepreneur-ism, Self Reliance, and Self betterment have been replaced by chasing bright shiny things, free stuff, and submission to socialist powers.  This election the American people have rejected fact, logic, and reason for lies, fairy tales, and dammed lies.  We have allowed ourselves to be bamboozled by people who have lied to us in the past (“I have not had sex with that woman”), broken promises they made (I will cut the daffiest in half – reduce healthcare costs – strengthen relations with our allies), and destroyed our economy (high unemployment – ruined the nation’s credit rating) for now and the future.  We picked a president that watched four Americans be butchered and did nothing to stop it, gave tax payers and borrowed money to contributors for failed businesses, and declared his intentions to bankrupt an industry supplying most of America’s energy sources.

The psyche of the American public has done a 180.  We do not consider the government as an extension of ourselves anymore but as a separate entity that should rule over and control our lives.  A woman in New Jersey was interviewed on television last week.  She complained that there is no power and now she has to walk up several flights of stairs to get to her apartment.  She complained that the government is not there to help her.  She whined that there is debris in the hall way and stairwell.  She can’t get to work so she just sits and waits for help.  It never occurred to her to pick up a broom and clean the debris from the apartment herself.  She is wallowing in self pity and the thought of helping herself never entered her mind.

The fault for this turn of events lies with the voting public and the leaders of the Republican Party, the public for allowing to be fooled and the Republican Party for orchestrating a woefully lame campaign.  There were so many opportunities to turn the tide and deliver a Romney victory and the Republicans wasted every one of them.   One would think that they learned something from the previous presidential election.  Perhaps the reason is that both political parties are cut from the same cloth.  Perhaps the Republican Party is not so much a “small government” party as they claim. 

Perhaps they did not fight the Democrats as hard as they could have because their goals are not that different from the Democrats.  Both sides are applauding the “ending of the war in Iraq” and preparations to “end it” in Afghanistan.  Picking up one’s marbles and going home is not a good end.  Winning the war is the only acceptable way to end a war, or all the sacrifices made are in vain.  Killing one leader of the enemy does not mean victory.  No matter how many “victory laps Obama takes” our enemies are well, alive, growing stronger, a bigger threat, and danger than ever.

The election is over and this country is in the same mess it has been for four years.  We still have a socialist front man for the Marxists in our government.  The Senate is still under the control Harry leaving us in a stalemate in Congress.  Locally the Republican Party has been just as ineffective in California.  The American people are in denial of the facts and need to be informed. 

No amount of effort in registration and monetary support will make a difference how the people will vote.  We have had several decades of effort wasted on Republican candidates only to suffer defeat after defeat.  Facts, logic, and reason have not worked.  What is needed is an effective way to educate the public and bring back the spirit that made this a once great, strong, and prosperous nation.  WE need to appeal to the emotions of the people.  That is the only way we can get more support for our cause.  We must show a direct benefit to voting with us.  We must promise better, more valuable things and deliver to usurp the euphoric promises and scare tactics of the Democrats.  We face a huge and daunting task that will take time.  This is the only way we can make any headway.  So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.

I am not a big supporter of Mitt Romney but having experience with turnaround companies I must clear something up. In the late 70's Pertec's techknowledgy was outdated and had little if any hope of continuing. So the new management bought up a bunch of computer companies with similar issues. They sold off everything that was thought to have future value. Cut expenses to the bone and went bankrupt. Top middle, and some lower level management did well (they saw what was coming and prepared for it) but most employees were about of a job. This was a calculated plan. My next encounter with a capital venture company was as a computer dealer of Rexon and other products. Two venture capital companies took over the operations of Rexon and a tape drive company started and operated by Sr. Ben Wang. Both companies had a large investment in technkowledgy that was being surpassed by new ones. The investment for these two companies to compete was just too much. The venture capital companies sold off everything they could and drained off everything leaving nothing but skin and bone. Rexon and Wangtech went under. Again management and the venture capital companies did very well while Rexon and Wangtech employees were out of jobs. There was no hope for any other outcome. The action taken by the venture capital companies was not antagonistic towards anyone. They did not start out to raid these companies. They brought about a strategic end. Much like an army would retreat and save what was possible. Yes the venture capital companies made a bunch of money but they did not steal from anyone. In a capitalistic system there is the possibility of losing. There is a risk involved with a chance of making a profit. Not all will survive, just like in nature. The company that Mitt Romney ran helped many companies to better times, some were doomed to fail. That is business. A much better outcome than when the government decides who will benefit from taxpayer funds. It is not a perfect system but the best that there is

Immigration Policy Changes

Children born to visitors to America (tourists, diplomats, students, and those who entered without a valid visa) residing in America cannot be eligible for citizenship simply due to being on American soil. Other than in emergency cases, neither the states, nor Federal Government have no obligation to pick up the medical expenses of foreign visitors. All visitors must have means to sustain themselves for the entire duration of visit prior to receiving a visa to enter America. They will not be eligible for any social services provided by State or Federal government. Those who entered our country illegally are subject to deportation based on an individual review of circumstances for them being in this country. Economic situation in their home country or medical needs without the means to pay for them is not a valid reason for them to stay. Only reasonable fear for their safety or life if they return to their home country will be considered as a reason for being allowed to continue their stay. Most importantly, our borders must be secured to prevent illegal entry.

Ignorance of Islam is Helping the Enemy

It is mind boggling to listen to people who one might think are critical thinkers, show how ignorant they are to the greatest danger to western enlightened way of life. A war waged for over 1,400 years is coming to a head and so many “leaders” refuse to see, hear, or talk about it candidly.

The word “PEACE” does not have the same meaning in Islam as it does to the rest of the world. To Islam “peace” can only reside in the lands under Islam and Sharia rule. Islam divides the world into two sections, the house of “peace”, and the house of war. The house of war is anywhere that is not under Islamist control. That is where you and I live. By this definition, the west is at war with Islam and Islam must defend itself by massacring all those who do not submit to Islam. The Koran insists that non-believers, without lifting a finger, are attacking Islam just by not accepting Allah as the one and only true god. Therefore Islam is defending itself as its followers go around the world destroying property, torturing, and murdering non-believers. The truth about Islam needs to be brought out in the open and recognized by the masses. That includes many Muslims who have no clue as how ridiculous the concept of non-aggression by the non-believers can threaten Muslims.

Those who believe that there is a reformation coming to Islam should be careful what they wish for. The reformation in Christianity was not a refining or change but reaffirming its original teachings. It erased the man made twisting of the religion, like the Salem witch trials and other abominations. A reformation within Islam will bring it closer for strict interpretation of the Koran where it states “never make friends with the people of the book”. The Jews and Christians are the people of the book (Bible). Unlike the Bible that teaches true peace and tolerance, the Koran promotes the eradication of all that is not Islam. Every Buddhist in Afghanistan was murdered and all historical records, temples, and historical artifacts were destroyed.

No one can get along with Islam except as a slave. If we all do not recognize this fact, we all be slaves or dead.

The enemy within

I encourage you all to campaign vigorously and positively for you candidate in the primaries. But be sure you vetted your candidate thoroughly. Forget about the opponent’s negatives. Just push all the reasons why your candidate should get elected. Negative campaigning in primary elections must be avoided. After the primary election it is our duty to get behind the primary winner of our party. This is very important. Even if your candidate is not selected put all your effort into supporting the one who was elected. That candidate most assuredly is much closer to your beliefs than the opposing party’s candidate. We can’t all have everything our way 100%. Realizing this and being able to live with is the mature thing to do. Let’s not be little children, pick up our marbles and go home. The candidate of our party is the one to support. I urge all grass roots workers to do the responsible thing. That goes especially for the candidates who did not make the cut. Do not let your disappointment punish your party’s candidate by voting for some miner candidate who you know has no chance of being elected or not voting at all which is tantamount to voting for the opposition. If you analyze the situation critically and logically, you will realize that your party’s candidate is with you at least 80% of the way, much closer to your beliefs than the opposition’s candidate. Do not cut off your nose to spite your face. You will be hurting yourself. There may be exceptions, for instance if the Democrat is more of a conservative (Highly unlikely) than the Republican or the Republican candidate is a plant by the Dems. How could the latter happen you ask? Only by us not ferreting that candidate out in the primaries. The enemy within our Party has been us. We must not lose one other election due to childish emotions. There is too much at stake.

Don’t Let The Obama Machine Fool You Again

There is an old saying; “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” If we are taken in once, it might not be our fault. The second time we can only blame ourselves. The Obama machine fooled America and we elected him to the highest most powerful position in the world. He has been dismantling all that America was. The people have become disenchanted with him and his cadre. His reelection to a second term is in jeopardy. He is now campaigning for reelection.

He has been raising money for quite some time. He has or will have over a billion dollars in his campaign chest and has already started to spend it. To help keep America dependent on foreign energy sources he has pressured large corporations into promoting his “green” agenda. Today I saw a commercial promoting ethanol use in gasoline. A practice that is causing price increases in corn and corn products. This caused price increases in other items all over the world. Corn is used to feed farm animals. When it costs more to raise pigs, cattle, and chickens the price of these items is raised and we all have to pay more at the grocery store. It takes around 27 pounds of corn to distill one gallon of gas. This raises the price of gas, lot more than we think. Our government subsidizes the growing of corn. This is one way this administration is ruining America’s economy.

These people are doing everything they can to bring America to its knees. They are stubbornly keeping us from exploiting our own oil and natural gas reserves. At the same time we just gave billions of dollars to Brazil so they can hire the Chinese to drill for their oil. Not only that, but Obama promised to buy it. First we are denied to drill our deposits, denying American jobs and economic growth. Then we will have to spend more money to buy foreign oil.

These and his other actions are shoving America in to an even deeper economic hole. He is using the EPA to increase the price of energy which in turn raises the cost of everything else. During his campaign for president he vowed to bankrupt the coal industry. Coal is the major generator of America’s electricity. He is attacking our industries further hurting the economy.

This man cannot be allowed another term in the White House. Four more years and America will be in ruins. Ruining America’s economy not only makes Americans poor, it weakens America, including our police and military. If things continue, America will be vulnerable to attack. There are forces out there that are attacking us right now and soon we will not have the resources to defend ourselves.

Up until these past few months, Obama could not be accused of being too patriotic. He did not put his arm over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem. For years he refused to wear the American Flag Pendent. Instead of meeting with wounded troops he went to play basketball. There were many other incidences where he passed on honoring our military. He is against a day of prayer that every president before him participated in but he did pray with the Muslims on an Islamic Holy day. Now that the killing of Usama Bin Ladin was thrown into his lap he has said “God Bless” more times than during all the time he was running for president and after. He is honoring the troops that he ignored before. He has said “God Bless the troops” and “God Bless America” in his speeches about the killing of UBL. Finely he paid tribute the heroes of 9/11 in New York. It is just a ploy to mesmerize us. The man is on a campaign trail.

He has never stopped campaigning. We must no fall for his deceitful speeches. His intentions are not honorable. Reelecting him or any of his cadre in the Senate and House will bring America to ruin. We need people who will lift America to greater heights not those who are diminishing America’s greatness. November 2012 may be the last chance we have to rescue current and future American generations. Don’t let this opportunity pass by. Vet new candidates, select the right ones, and work hard to elect them.

Barak Husain Obama deserves no accolades for the death of UBL

When engaged in a war there should be only one goal that is to win. The feelings of the enemy can’t be part of the decision making in how to conduct a war. Much of the world Muslim community considered Usama Bin Laden a holy man. Well apparently so did our president. Our president scoffed at the National Day of Prayer yet he participated in prayer during a Muslim Holy Day. It was the decision of his administration to conduct Muslims services for the leader of people that have nothing but contempt for us. Muslims have hacked off the heads of news reporters, defiled the bodies of our military, tortured and raped civilians, pushed a man in wheel chair in to the ocean, and forced its own children back into a burning building because they were female and were not wearing head scarves. Usama Bin Laden inspired the incineration of almost three thousand unsuspecting innocent civilians. This man was the leader of the people that attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC. The devastation of life and our economy was horrendous. After all this and much more how much respect did we owe people who celebrated these events in the streets by dancing, shooting into the air, and giving children candy? I do not feel a movement that is working very actively to shred our Constitution and replace it with a primitive 7th century mentality of Sharia Law deserves any respect at all. We are being attacked on many fronts. They are wrong and we are right. We must win and they must lose.

Some, even so called conservatives, praised president Obama for making a “gutsy” call. A call he had to make. If he did not give his ok to the elimination of America’s worst enemy he would have paid a heavy price had it become public that he let Usama Bin Laden escape. There was nothing “gutsy” about his decision. He was forced into it. Many American lives were lost hunting down this miserable excuse for a human being. He was caught because of the efforts set up by the previous administration. The “gutsy” call was made by the passengers of the third hijacked airplane when they said “let’s Rock ‘N’ Roll” and forced the plane to crash into a field. “Gutsy” calls were made by the men and women fighting our enemy. It was a “gutsy” call to hunt down our enemies. Our current president just happened to be on watch when the opportunity came to eradicate Usama Bin Laden. He had very little to do with it.

Put America First

We helped the Muslims get rid of the Soviet Union occupation and what did we get for it? Four plane loads of our people being incinerated as two took out the World Trade towers, one slammed into the Pentagon, and one is a grave in a field. Almost 3,000 people died. We got in the middle of the strife in the former Yugoslavia and all sides now hate us. We liberated Kuwait from a despot and they cannot wait for us to get the hell out of there. Why does our government insist on helping out the wrong side? The Egyptian dictator was just about the only one helping to keep a somewhat truce with Israel. Now every country that helped to restrain terrorism to one degree or another is now in danger of being totally controlled by people who really hate us. These people are attacking us abroad and the home front.

America is under attack by one enemy that is both foreign and domestic. This is the enemy that attacked our military barracks around the world, held embassy employees hostage, blew up cafés frequented by overseas Americans, killed our sailors on board ships in foreign ports, and many other such atrocities. This same enemy killed almost 3,000 in New York, the pentagon, and the passengers in an airborne America plane. This enemy killed 13 people on a military post in this country and made many attempts to bomb crowded area in America. The one common denominator in all these events is the cry “Allah-uh Akbar”, the last expression of those who attack Americans and others just before their evil deed. This cry tells all, the reason for the attacks. It is the ideology of a barbaric seventh century mind set teachings of Muhammad.

It is time for our government to put America first. Stop sending foreign aid to countries that hate us. Stop spending money on wars that end with us having more enemies. Stop wasting the lives of our brave men and women. Stop worshiping at the altar of a Global Government. Stop putting the needs and wants of foreigners ahead of the many Americans that need a hand up. Just put America first.

We Can and Must Fix the System

People have been led (wrongly) to believe that Social Security would be a major part of their retirement income and Medicare would cover their healthcare. Both have been mismanaged and wrought with fraud. SS funds have been raided for decades. Since our legislators felt it more important to fund studies such as the sex lives of bugs, paying for monuments to themselves, restoration of Mosques in places like Saudi Arabia and Egypt (very oil rich countries), and aid to countries whose leaders live high on the hog by siphoning off most of the aid money while their people live in squalor. We spend millions on the UN which has become a forum and force for evil. Now there is talk of denying retired people who have contributed to SS and Medicare for their entire working life. That is despicable.

Our legislators have mismanaged revenues. It’s time things get set right. Stop handing out money on non-deserving projects. Let’s take care of American citizens first. Then if there is anything left over, we can take a look at what we can do for others. Tax money must never be spent on self promoting projects. There are Federal projects that should be taken care of by the states. Federal Education Department should be disbanded. How can Washington DC handle the schools in California or Appalachia when schools in their own district are failing? On what basis do the Feds feel they can run the private financial system when they have no clue on how to live within their means?

The Federal Government was established for the sole purpose of protecting the citizens of America. Yet they refuse to protect our borders but do provide special privileges to illegal foreigners at the expense of taxpaying Americans. Americans pay more for out of state tuition than foreigners with no legal status in this country. There are illegals with several children born here with all expenses paid for by tax money while too many Americans are dying because they can’t afford to pay for healthcare. Islamists from all over the world are determined to rip up our Constitution and replace it with Sharia Law. The Feds seem to be aiding and abetting this onslaught. There is something very wrong with this picture.

There are solutions available but our leaders do not see them. They have morphed into a type of special kind of royalty that has lost touch with the people. Just like the lords and kings of olden days, they look at the population as subjects to rule over instead of serving them. They have lost touch with the basis that this country was based on, a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

America is becoming a top down ruled country. We are too close to being a socialist dictatorship. The Feds are employing socialist methods and justifying them with Marxist ideology, an ideology that has failed miserably. It is time to implement the KISS method, keep it simple stupid. Our government is too large, too complicated, and too cumbersome to have any semblance of efficiency. We must vet new candidates, pick the right ones, and work hard to elect them to replace those who are ruining America. If these new officials won’t size down the government then they too must be replaced until we get the right people into office.

Obama is Lowering Our Standard of Living

The Obama administration’s goal has been and still is to plunge America to a standard of living on par with Third World nations. Prior to the spill in the Gulf it took two weeks to process applications to drill new wells. Since the spill 5 requests have been waiting for three to nine months. He is using any excuse to raise the price of oil so that fewer and fewer people can afford to drive their vehicles, strangle the air transportation industry, make it more and more expensive to transport goods across the country, endanger supplies and their transport to our troops, and generally weaken our national security.

At a time when the oil providing nations are in political turmoil and the world oil supplies are in danger, we should be drilling and exploiting our own energy sources. We need more sites pumping oil, more refineries, more nuclear plants, and reduced restrictions on producing reusable energy sources.

The solution is private enterprise not government mismanagement, waste, and corruption. The American entrepreneur and worker, if left alone with less government interference, can make this nation strong, powerful, and respected again. Now is the time for action. We need to make some changes in Congress and the Administration.

Moderate or Radical Islam, is There a Difference?

Reading various article concerning Islam I am confused by the terms “radical” and “moderate” Islam. Exactly what do these terms mean? Other than maintaining a cast system, (the rich and powerful versus the poor and enslaved, the privileges of men and the denigration of women) the main goal of Islam is to conquer the world and have it submit to a World Caliphate and Sharia Law or die. What part of this goal can be called “moderate”?

Lands that are overrun by Islam have very cruel solutions to the Infidels. They must submit to Islam, either by conversion or accepting to live in dhimmitude. All who refuse to submit are murdered. A dhimmi must give up his or her space (be it a seat or their home) to a Muslim. He is required to pay a special tax and stay out of the way of a Muslim. They are not allowed to congregate to worship other than Allah. They may not wear symbols of any other religion. They are not allowed to poses a Bible. Men are not allowed to marry Muslim women unless the man converts to Islam. A Muslim man can take a non-Muslim woman, since women are considered property.

We must stop making a distinction between “radical” and “moderate” Muslims. All Muslims have one goal. That is to dominate us all and eradicate all that is/was not Islam. Since the early 600 AD, Islam has been waging war on the rest of the world. The sooner we realize and face this fact the better we’ll be off.

IF THE EPA WAS here in 1865 America would still be a third world country - broke with no JOBS.

This was a post by Gerald4 on the Huffington site and then potsed by Lock Piatt in Song of Truth.

The EPA rules and regulation's mere the main factors that destroyed the jobs that used to pay decent wages for a decent days work in the Steel Belt (Rust Belt)!

Why did all of the Copper smelters close in Northern Michigan? EPA

Why did all of the Paper Mills close everywhere in the USA? EPA

Why did all of the Steel Mills close in Pittsburg? EPA

Why did the computer chip manufactur¬ing plants close in the USA? EPA

When the EPA's proposed "Cap and Trade" is passed by the US congress, our remaining petrochemi¬cal industries will relocate to foreign countries and then they will fire most all of their thousands of employees as they close down their refinery businesses in the USA.

If the EPA had been created in 1865, the USA would be a third world country of unemployed beggars today, or maybe a part of Germany or Japan.

If the US economy implodes, the USA will probably resemble India, Mexico, China, etc., as these countries were in the decades before they industrial-ized. I do not believe that any of these foreign countries will help the US citizens if we are in distress.

Almost all products are made with steel, aluminum, plastics, lead, copper, lumber, paper, gasoline, diesel fuel, electricit¬y, and other products that pollute or destroy the environmen¬t as they are produced. I cannot think of any product that is manufactur¬ed using any processes that do not pollute the environmen¬t. Can you think of any?”

The Obamacare Fallacy

American people are torn between the reality they know and the hope of change that promises a fairytale world. In the real world nothing is free. In the world of maidens being rescued from fire breathing dragons by princes with universal healthcare, there just might be.

All insurance programs depend on one thing; the number of people paying into the system is greater than those drawing on its resources. It is based on simple math that anyone should be able figure out, even though our schools are not doing too well with teaching math. The only way Obama’s healthcare program has any hope of working at all is if ever person pays into the system from birth. The way it is now the healthy ones can opt out of the system by paying a minor penalty. The result cannot be anything else but bankruptcy. Deposits of one dollar and withdraws $100.00 will result in a negative balance or subsidizing the account with taxpayer’s money; you know, redistribution of assets and that is not sustainable for long.

Since our courts have ruled demands for mandatory participation is unconstitutional and without it the program cannot work, this bill has to be repealed now and a new start for an improved system allowing cross state participation and competition, reformed tort system, and improved record keeping and communication.

Return to Capitalistic Entrepreneurism is Way Overdue

It is time we push our governments (from federal to state to local) to lift the restrictions on exploiting all our available resources and stop trying to artificially create an economy. A Mass. 'Clean Energy' Plant is closing after $58 million in state aid. Evergreen Solar calls itself a victim of weak demand and competition from cheaper suppliers in China. A major reason for low demand is that business and individuals realize that switching to solar energy is a huge investment (that may or may not be pay off) and not a prudent move in an uncertain economy. Unemployment hovering around 10%, prices constantly going up (due largely to cost of oil being pushed up by OPEC), and a financial system constantly being manipulated by the government and the chosen few (favored by the government) are not conditions for investment in anything but the bare necessities.

Evergreen Solar is not an isolated case. Every time a government meddles with business the economic deteriorates. A robust economy works best in a supply and demand environment, not with artificial stimulants. We watched a huge experiment that spanned half the world, took forty years, made millions of people miserable, killed countless number of people, and in the end failed. How many times and ways will people keep banking their heads against the wall before they realize that all they are accomplishing is a massive headache?

While we develop new sources of energy (and new means of using it) we need to exploit the resources that are readily available. This will lower the price of energy and provide the profits to invest in research and development to get to where we need to be. Restricting our economy only makes it harder and eventually impossible to achieve our goals. We need to be smart about it and not deny the opportunity to succeed. Success will come via ingenuity by individuals free to experiment, try, fail, and succeed.

The National Education Association of the United States and the Federal Department of Education must go

The National Education Association of the United States and the Democrat Party has announced its true intention without any masking. They have told us blatantly, it is control over the lives of future generations, even more so than they already have. We have been told that they intend to do the same thing that Hitler did by instituting his Hitler Youth movement and the Pioneers of the Soviet Union.

While Obama’s children are attending a private school, this administration ended the voucher program for all other children in DC. While the public schools are not good enough for their children, they have denied a better education for children of middle and low income families. They are determined to brainwash our children with Marxist propaganda, something they can’t do to the kids attending schools that concentrate on basic education; math, science, literature, and true history.

What has single-payer socialized medicine, immigration “reform”, a Cesar Chavez national holiday, special rights on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, special rights on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, abortion on demand, affirmative action, repeal of right to world laws, got to do with basic education? Nothing but these and many other things that have nothing to with education are all part of the agenda of the NEA of US.

Their goal is to prepare our children for a social paradise and a Marxist dictatorship. We must resist their efforts of enslaving future citizens of this once great country. The NEA must be declared a subversive organization with the intent of destruction of America as we know it.

Sharia Law vs. Our Constitution

America is the envy of the world. For the past hundred years we have been the most prosperous, moat powerful, and most generous country the world has ever known. America is the country where ingenuity and initiative is possible. America is the nation that has brought most of the innovations that the world has benefitted from. The ability to achieve this height of prosperity, protect the world from despots (like Hitler), and be the most generous nation ever, is made possible by one document, our Constitution. This single document is the corner stone of freedom and liberty.

Sharia Law is to Islam what our Constitution to America. Sharia Law is a collection of edicts hanging on to a 7th century mentality of “might makes right” that denies individual freedom, denies liberty, and imposes draconian punishment that does not fit the (supposed) crime. If America was founded on Sharia Law it would be a totally different country. We would be ruled by uneducated men that would have stifled any and all scientific and social progress. Most of the citizens would be pore, many enslaved, and under yoke of oppression. Since Sharia Law does not allow individual thought especially questioning any aspect of Islam, most of us would be living as serfs. Since Islam puts women in the category of beasts of burden without the right for a formal education there would be no women doctors. Without women doctors women would not be afforded medical attention since an unrelated man can not touch or even look at a woman. How many families can say they have a doctor in the family?

It is the goal of Islam to rule the world under a World Caliphate. Practicing Muslims in America want Sharia Law to replace our Constitution. Replacing our Constitution with Sharia Law will be a disaster not only for America but for the whole world. Instead of more text books about Islam, our schools should be concentrating on teaching the virtues of living in a land of liberty and individual freedom. A land where the heights one can reach are dependent on one’s ability, determination, and willingness to work hard; not by circumstances of birth or the whims of self proclaimed messengers of God.

How Much Campaigning is Too Much?

This president spews more bovine excrement than a carnie hustler. This man has spent the majority of his political stint campaigning. In Illinois he voted “present” most o f the time. Perhaps he did not spend any time on the issues since he was planning his run for the US Senate. Once he got to the US Senate, he immediately started to campaign for his run for the Presidency.

Because the path he wants to lead this country is so incredibly wrong, he has to constantly try to convince us to go along with him. When he stops bloviating and we get to analyze the issues critically, we realize how wrong he is. This past election is evidence that the people are not convinced that his way is the right path for our country. His campaigning did not help his socialist/Marxist cause.

Get ready for the snake oil salesman selling his poison. I am sure his campaign for the virtues (sic) of a socialist paradise will be hard, loud, and even threatening. Even though the Democrats, with a total majority in both houses, completely ignored Republicans, their campaign will center on compromise and bipartisan cooperation. When they had all the power their slogan as “we won you lost” so shut up. Now they will try to convince the people that to compromise is a moral virtue. Like hell it is. This country is an ideological struggle between what made this country great and what made so many miserable in countries around the world. Their way enslaved millions; behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Socialist Union, China, Cuba, and others. Let’s hope that he won’t be able to fool all of the people all of the time.

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Hell no! Why should we even try? The Democrats keep talking about compromise as if compromise is always a good thing under any and all circumstances. Compromise in politics is like alcohol. A glass or two now and then is cool. Guzzling down cases of “two buck chuck” is disgusting. So a compromise would be only a half a case, that is enabling the drunk.

The road that the progressives in Congress , Obama, and his group of socialists/Marxist Czars and appointees are taking America directly in the opposite direction the people want to travel. In the past two years we have witnessed a huge growth of government, unprecedented deficit spending, and loss of freedom, and liberty that has brought us too close to USSR style socialism. This trend was aided and abetted by an elite group of career politicians who are totally out of touch with the reality of life of the American people. They have totally discarded our Constitution and the reason why this land divorced itself from a top down style of governing.

How can there be bi-party-ism if compromise is impossible without trashing the Constitution and abandonment of our core values? If self-reliance, liberty, and pursuit of individual happiness is to survive how can we compromise with the Marxist edict of “to each one’s need and each one’s ability”. That means distributing the wealth? That type of a system cannot survive even in a dictatorship, as we have seen with the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain countries?

My Response To Interview of Islam Promoting Major General Hammond,

My Response To Interview of Islam Promoting Major General Hammond,
Special Combat Engineer 4Th Engineering Bat. 569th Company, US Army, stationed at the time at Fort Carson CO.

The one thing that got my attention in this article is his opening statement, “I am shocked how ignorant you guys are about Islam and its fundamental tenants”. I for one am not ignorant about Islam’s core. I have studied the Koran, Hadith, and Sharia Law for over 6 years. I am cognisant of the many facets that were taken from the Judeo-Christian faiths and the changes that were made to suit Mohamed. Judeo-Christian values are based on the Ten Commandments which begin with “Thou shall not” and then list forbidden egregious activities. It does not have caveats or exclusion of people of other faiths or non-faiths. The Koran forbids deceit of true believers of Islam. But encourages, even demands it when dealing with the infidels if it is to the advantage of Islam. Even today, it accepts slavery as the norm, especially women, masked as a defense of women.

I also have eyes and ears and a critical mind. I can see despicable acts perpetrated under the guise of doing Allah’s work as stated in the Koran, such as the murder (suicide attacks, beheading, shooting, bombing) of the innocent, infirm, and elderly. I can hear the religious leaders of Islam demanding the destruction of symbols of other faiths, the murder of anyone who will not accept Islam, and the call to overthrow all governments and establish a World Caliphate. I do not see Muslims mourning the deaths of the result of the horror attacks on the World Trade center in NYC and other such acts. I do see Muslims dancing in the street celebrating these acts of terror. I do not hear Muslims condemning the people, who perpetrate, encourage, plan, and send people to perpetrate these horrible acts.

Judaism and Christianity went through reformations as humanity evolved from “might makes right” to a justice system allowing human dignity to all regardless of social or economic standing.

I am also aware of how Islam is presented to non-Muslims, especially those vulnerable to accepting that faith. These are people searching for answers that cannot be proven but must be accepted on faith. They either have not been exposed to a faith based life or have been disillusioned by individual’s transgressions. These converts are encouraged to be terrorists and call them heroes and martyrs.

No one can convince me that Islam is a religion of peace. When I say peace, I mean the general definition of the world not Islam’s version which is installing a World Caliphate and elimination of all opposition.

Relationship of Big Business and Government

One aspect of Big Brother Government that is being ignored is huge corporations. Once a business reaches a certain size it becomes a bureaucracy with no resemblance to a capitalistic enterprise. By necessity, it needs to be administered like a government agency. The people in charge operate without entrepreneurish type risk. Its size makes it almost impossible to react to business changes in a timely manner. Rules and regulations are set in concrete. Individual incentive is stifled and replaced by adherence to dictated policies and procedures.

It begins to operate like a government agency and relates better to the government than to other business. Its goals change from operating on a profit basis to a basis of self perpetuation. It becomes more of a consuming entity rather than a producing one. The motivation is not producing a competitive product or service but to feed itself. The result is more blotted growth, less efficiency, and a dying dinosaur.

This is what happened to our auto industry and the real-estate and financial markets. Our auto industry (in general; GMC and Chrysler in particular) were producing cars that people were not buying and were not able to change the products they were selling fast enough. The real-estate and financial companies were being run by administrators with little or no practical experience of real estate or banking. Banks were making loans that no true banker would ever approve.

To survive, a company needs to increase its market share. But there is a saturation point where growth becomes a detriment, especially growth by acquisition of competition. This has been especially true in banking. Acquiring failing banks just postpones the inevitable, failure. The liabilities eventually erode the profitability of the acquiring banks. In a competitive market some succeed while others fail. Forced sharing of liabilities is just as debilitating to the economy as redistribution of wealth from the producers to those who only consume

Middle East and Terrorism: Why Obama Surrendered the Missile Shield

Middle East and Terrorism: Why Obama Surrendered the Missile Shield

The START treaty Empowers Russia

Russia is in no position to get into an arms race with the US. Their economy is not robust enough to sustain a long protracted race. By limiting our defenses we are empowering Russia.

For several years, Russia has been pouring money into expanding their influence around the world. They have made deals with countries that are very hostile to America. They have set up naval bases in South America and Syria. They have supplied our enemies, including Iran, with military equipment, including nuclear capability. All these countries are potential surrogates to battle us both militarily and economically.

Just like the old Soviet Union, Russia will not directly attack us but be the beneficiary of US conflicts with these countries. They are eroding our relationships with our friends. Eastern Europe is becoming more and more energy dependent on Russia which supplies gasoline and natural gas to Eastern Europe. Russia has flexed its power by cutting off supplies, officially for ‘technical’ reasons. However as soon as their point was made, the ‘technical’ problems seemed to disappear.

President Reagan called the Soviet Union's bluff and helped to bankrupt the them, thereby eliminating the threat they posed to the world. It is ludicrous to think that the US will attack Russia militarily. The world threat is from militant Islamic nations and groups. Russia is working on using them against us. They also know that these same elements are a real danger to them just as they are to us. The START treaty allows Russia to build ‘defense systems’ but limits the US, including protecting our friends. The Obama administration canceled missile defenses for Eastern Europe based in the Czech Republic and Poland. They even stooped to black mailing those countries by cutting off energy sources making it hard for them to push the system.

We do not need the START treaty but Russia does. Russia is not our friend, so why should we empower a country that is hostile to us. There is nothing in the treaty about real live threats to us from terrorist regimes and groups. Start is bad for America and we must not ratify it.

Eroding Freedom and Liberty in America

A story goes that a man wanted to start a pig farm but there were no pigs for sale that he could afford to buy. So he decided to start his farm with wild pigs. He cleared a space in the forest where he dumped garbage from local restaurants. He watched the wild pigs slowly approach, run away come back, and slowly begin to eat what he put there and stopped getting food the old fashioned way; finding it in the forest. He did this every day and the pigs kept coming and eating. By the third week they lost all caution and every day they rushed to gorge on the buffet. On the forth week he built a fence behind the bounty of food. The pigs rushed to get their meal but stopped short about ten feet away. They noticed the fence and at first were suspicious but after sniffing the fence began to gorge on the food. Three weeks later he built a similar fence at a 90 degree angle from the first one. At first the pigs were again suspicious but soon paid no attention and began to feast. Again in three more weeks he built another fence, this time at a 90 degree angle on the other side. This time the pigs hardly noticed the latest addition to the fence and began to feast. The next week as the pigs were getting their fill, he snuck up behind them and added the fourth and last part of the fence and the pigs were corralled in a pen. When the pigs looked around they found out that they were trapped. They stopped eating and started to run around looking for a way out. They banged all sides of the fence to no avail. They were trapped. The pigs exhausted themselves trying to escape. For a few days they refused to eat what the farmer fed them but shortly they gave in and gladly ate the meager food he brought them. Eventually they stopped trying to escape and accepted their fate. The prospect of a free meal lured them into slavery.

Nothing is free. You either pay for it in advance or you pay dearly later. By accepting small intrusions on their freedom, the pigs got caught in trap that they could not get out of. One part of the fence didn’t seem so bad to put up with. Then the meal seemed more important than the next and the next part of the fence. Each part protected their food source from other animals until the last part of the fence enslaved them.

Americans do not realize the fences being built around them. We did not see Social Security deductions from our paycheck as a fence. We did not believe that the money was not for our retirement but is being used to fund other spending by the government. We did not see Medicare as a fence being built and the beginning of Socialized Medicine. We got used the ever increasing encroachment of our liberties when we went along with ever increasing smoking restrictions. We believe that the government is looking to protect us when it started to tell us what food to eat and has nothing to do with getting us used to do whatever the government dictates. Some of us accept that we are too stupid to choose for ourselves. Many do not realize that we are being conditioned to accept outrageous inconvenience, humiliation, and pain under the guise of being protected. How is that you ask? Take a few plane trips across the country and you’ll understand. Ever wonder if there is an underlying reason why the government is afraid for you to own a gun? Here is a hint; every totalitarian government has stripped its citizens of a means to protect themselves.

Ever wonder why our administration is supporting the Islamation of America? Islam is trying to replace our Constitution with Sharia Law, a 7th century mentality, totalitarian set of laws that strip the soul of any dignity and reduce people to slaves.

We are being conditioned to accept a big brother government. Don’t give up your freedom and liberty for a few shine beads. They may seem very important to you now but later you will see they are worthless compared to what you gave up.

Support of Israel is Support of Humanity

For the last four decades Islam has done a better job of marketing its cause than Israel and its supporters. They have been telling lies and changing accounts of history over and over again. A lie, if said often enough and long enough soon begins to be accepted as feasible. Then when groups with other agendas want to denigrate the supporters of the truth for their own purpose, the lie after time begins to look like the truth.

Capitalist democracy has been under fire by those wanting to change all governments back to the rule by few of the many. 1776 was the beginning of a new kind of governing. Governing by the people, of the people, and for the people took power away from elite rulers of the world. Over the years these rulers have been losing power all over the world. Islam is stuck in a seventh century mentality of ruling with power from the top only.

Those advocating a one world government are also top down thinkers. So, they see any opposition to a democratic government, such as Israel, as an ally, albeit a temporary one. One World Government appeals to those of socialist leanings, many times disguising themselves under the banner of Progressives.

All these forces are working together, each with their own and separate goals, to eradicate opposition to each of their version of a World Government. Israel appears the most vulnerable, making it target number one, for Islam anyway. In the progressive’s blind desire to make alias of those wanting to eliminate Israel, they have taken up their cause; not realizing that those they want as friends despise the progressives just as much as Israel.

America needs to become the world leader and champion of democracy that it was before. This will not happen unless all Americans realize what the founding fathers brought on this world in 1776. They turned those serving the elite into free men and women. Empowered them to be responsible for their own destiny and allowed them to achieve heights of success never before available. Support of Israel is support of humanity and the abolishment of slavery.

Big Reason For Energy Self-reliance

If there was no Israel, no Jews, no Christians, nor any other infidels, the internal struggle within Islam would still threaten the world. When Muhammad died a huge rift appeared in Islam because Muslims could not agree who will take over. This bitter struggle between Sunni and Shia Muslims is greater than the hate that both sides have towards the rest of the world

Iran's First Move...

With total control of the Hormuz "oil chokepoint" in the Persian Gulf
and new power in "liberated" Iraq, the Iranians have a brand new foothold
for kicking off the long-awaited "Shia Revolution."

By blocking the Straits of Hormuz causing a worldwide oil shortage, oil prices will surge above $250/barrel. Gas and other products derived from petroleum, prices will soar. Even though most of America’s oil does not come from the Middle East, our economy will suffer along with the rest of the world.

We must be oil self-reliant by the time this happens. Even if the Middle East erupts before we start pumping, we can stave off much of the effect if we start exploiting our own oil reserves NOW!

Even if the rest of the world unites to defeat Iran, the damage will be done. All countries will have to depend on oil from Russia, Venezuela, and other countries trying to dominate world economies. We have more than enough reserves to see us through this calamity. We need to press Congress and state legislators start drilling NOW!

We need to use whatever sources of energy are now available

There is nothing stopping private industry to invest in alternative energy, except profitability and the vast amount of horrendous regulations, studies, and fees standing in the way. A solar energy generation plant in the California Desert was abandoned due to the high cost and time involved in getting permits to build it. A wind farm plan was abandoned when environmentalists objected on the grounds that birds might fly into them. These and other objections are standing in the way of alternative energy sources. The only companies who will be able to avoid them are those which hold favor with the government. This shows the true purpose of these stumbling blocks to California business. Their main goal is for government to have more and more control of the people.

It is against the law to manufacture solar panels in California. They are being built in India and other foreign countries which benefit leaving Americans on the side line. The motors for the wind energy generating farms are built overseas, again leaving American business out of the loop.

There have been no new refineries built in California for decades, environmentalists oppose hydroelectric plants, and even though natural leaking of oil is polluting Santa Barbara beaches and others, we can’t relieve the pressure by harvesting the oil. The cleanest source of energy is nuclear. Plants have and are being built all over the world because they are safer than ever but there are no plans for any new ones in California.

We need to use whatever sources of energy are now available while private industry searches for other economical ways. Government rules and regulations only stand in the way of our energy independence and economic recovery. Government is not the solution to problems. Government is the problem.

United Nations to push for a world tax

Recently CNSNews.com wrote “A group of 60 nations will meet next week at the United Nations to push for a tax on foreign currency transactions as a way to generate revenue to meet global poverty-reduction goals, including “climate change” mitigation. Spearheaded by European Union countries, the so-called “innovative financing” proposal envisages a tax of 0.005 percent (five cents per $1,000), which experts estimate could produce more than $30 billion a year worldwide for priority causes. 'link '

Maybe I missed it. When did Americans vote to be taken over by a World Government run by Europeans or anyone else? For many decades America has been doling out money and various other form of aid to other countries for various reasons. Now as good neighbors Americans have had no problem helping people who have suffered from natural calamities; floods, earthquakes, and such. But the world seems to think that it has a right to whatever America has.

America is and has been the most generous country in history. After being viciously attacked by both Germany and Japan, at the end of WWII Americans helped to restore the economy of both nations. The only land we asked for was to bury our dead. America has never “stolen” oil reserves form any nation. If one looks at history it was Great Briton and France who colonized the countries with oil. It was America that brought tremendous innovations to the world, especially in the 20th century; innovations that the whole world benefited from. “Global Poverty” is not America’s fault. It is mostly caused by the governments of those countries that keep its people poor by stealing most of their GDP for themselves.

It is no secret that most of the aid America has doled out to the world never gets to the people. A big example is the Middle East. Instead of improving the lives of the people they purport to represent all the aid that the PLO, PA, Hamas, and Hizbullah received from all over the world including America and Israel, these groups have used the money to build up armies against Israel, spew hate and terror, and also line their own pockets.

Jealous World Leaders have been picking the pockets of Americans for many decades. Now that we have a president who is a globalist and socialist who does not particularly hold our Constitution and way of life to high esteem, they see an opportunity to rip us off even more.

Counting those Americans that are looking for work, are forced to take part time jobs, work in positions not up to their potential, and all those who gave up looking and are now depleting their savings to live, more than 20% of the US work force is idle. America needs to stop doling out money to the rest of the world and provide incentives, such as huge tax breaks, to rejuvenate our economy. We also need to make it easier for businesses to exploit our natural resources. America has given much and owes nothing to the rest of the world. Any aid we provide is charity. Charity must begin at home else we won’t be in any position help ourselves or anyone.
