<![CDATA[No doubt this person feels they earned\deserve a free ride. Too bad they don't understand how they've been taught to poison their selves and their children with sugar, artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup, and a whole list of additives that were once toxic waste but are now sold as 'food additives'. As bad as their diet probably is, the worst thing for their health is his anger and bitterness, which is something he seems to nurture. It is easy to pigeonhole, label, and hate people. Our 'culture' encourages it - it comes from tv and public 'education'. It is far more toxic to the one that spews it, and to their wife and children, though. The family's health would be greatly improved by less television, less toxic attitude, and more love. If you want better health, try a radical change of attitude and diet. Exercise is as important as diet. (Turn Off the TV; exercise, instead!) Try doing for others more than whining, and eat clean raw foods, not processed, fried, and 'convenience' foods. p.s., If you have problems with knee joints you are probably overweight - that can't be good for your health either. Please TURN OFF THE TV! Educate yourself! Exercise! If you think you aren't being poisoned for profit, then you are far too naive for your family's or your own good. p.p.s "former republican", "flagging\flagger", and all the others you pretend to be are evidence of your self deception, as in pretending to yourself that you're deceiving others. Clearly, you are far and away more transparent than you can imagine, since you imagine yourself so much smarter than everyone around you. It's easier (read more simple minded) to blame everyone else than to make real and needed changes. Flag away at all the posts you disagree with and can't rationally answer! Pretend yours is the only opinion deserving to be posted! Talk about a hypocrite? I really do pity you, but I pity your wife and the children more.

<![CDATA[After reading the comments from the republican I have decided that I can no longer in good conscience be on his/her side. Your comments are self righteous and self serving. You are full of assumptions as well as coming off as pompous and lacking compassion. Republicans were once compassionate but now have become selfish and uncaring to others tough circumstances. I am embarrassed to have ever called myself a republican after reading this stuff. Nowhere in the persons posts did they say they wanted a lifetime hand out!! They just want a little help. You FEMA camp radicals have infected the republican party and I for one am done with you all. Family values party????????????? I think not. Signed Former Republican ]]>

<![CDATA[TPMMuckraker Appeals Court Upholds $20,000 Fine Against Orly Taitz Justin Elliott | March 16, 2010, 8:50AM The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected Orly Taitz's appeal of the $20,000 fine imposed on her for making frivolous filings in a long-running Birther case. "We have fully considered Taitz's arguments," the ruling from a three-judge panel reads. "We find them unpersuasive and therefore affirm the district court's sanctions judgment." A federal judge in Georgia imposed the sanction on Taitz in October, blasting her for, among other things, using "the courts as a platform for a political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action." After Taitz failed to pay the fine within 30 days, the judge directed the U.S. Attorney to collect the judgment.]]>

<![CDATA[By Aaron Klein © 2010 WorldNetDaily Jim Wallis Rev. Jim Wallis, a member of President Obama's "faith council" who is described as a spiritual adviser to the president, is a socialist activist who has championed communist causes and previously labeled the U.S. "the great captor and destroyer of human life." Wallis was in the news last week urging Christians to stop watching Fox News host Glenn Beck's program for Beck's remarks against churches that preach "social justice." The Associated Baptist Press described Wallis as a "politically progressive evangelical and longtime advocate for the poor." The Huffington Post identified Wallis as a "Christian author and social justice advocate." Wallis, however, is a long time socialist advocate and founder of a far-left magazine, Sojourners, that has championed communist causes. <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=128053" rel="nofollow">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=128053</a>]]>

<![CDATA[REBELLION IN AMERICA 5th state exempts guns. Is Washington noticing? 'I think they're going to let it ride, hoping some judge throws out case' Posted: March 15, 2010 9:11 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily A fifth state – South Dakota – has decided that guns made, sold and used within its borders no longer are subject to the whims of the federal government through its rule-making arm in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and two supporters of the growing groundswell say they hope Washington soon will be taking note. South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds has signed into law his state's version of a Firearms Freedom Act that first was launched in Montana. It already is law there, in Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming, which took the unusual step of specifying criminal penalties – including both fines and jail time – for federal agents attempting to enforce a federal law on a "personal firearm" in the Cowboy State. According to a report in the Dakota Voice, the new South Dakota law addresses the "rights of states which have been carelessly trampled by the federal government for decades." "As the federal government has radically overstepped is constitutional limitations in the past year or so, an explosion of states have begun re-asserting their rights not only with regard to firearms, but also in shielding themselves against government health care, cap and trade global warming taxes, and more," the report said. <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=128035" rel="nofollow">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=128035</a>]]>

<![CDATA[I am the poster of the the one you quoted.. Whats wrong did I strike a nerve? Your way off base,I am Not a fan of organized religion because its bullshit! I am also not a fan of giving what I have to you [ which is not much] because you were careless and made babies that you could not take care of! If I go break my leg is it right for me to ask you to pay for the medical expenses? hell no I did it, it is my responsibility somehow to take care of it. that's all I am saying. As a Nation the people have come to expect handouts. When we have many people in our gov wanting to give our vital resources, school,welfare,Hud,fha housing to illegals that's Bullshit. that's our money and they [ politicians and illegals] are stealing from us. We can not afford the legals and the politicians want amnesty!. Illegals has bankrupt Cali, Arizona almost. You getting pissed because I just said people should take care of their Own and not expect a Nationalized health-care program to be enacted and be the cure all for everything as far as medical. It wont be believe me. Not a thing the government has touched has worked out. If the media has reported so its propaganda and most likely can be refuted. I have compassion for people's problems but I have my own , your not knocking on my door saying Hey take 13 dollars out of my paycheck, If you work, i want you to have this because you deserve it. I would not take it because it just would not be right. I didn't work for it so what entitlement would I have for your money? before you label me , because that seems to be what most people do when they can not have a intelligent conversation about the topics at hand. I know we are in for some real bad times, if you can not take care of your basic necessities you will be some of the first to go ro the fema camps and believe me they will take care of you there if that's what you want. I am not paying for it! its from money they already stole from US that's you and me! Do you think for one minute that this economy has got this way unintentional? this was very carefully constructed and you my friend have played right into their hands. When you get upset at someone because they say be responsible and you think you have this entitlement for other people to pay your way in this life your fucked up! plainly. get some seeds and start growing some food and stock piling water, can some veggies. this would be a start to surviving without going to "Camp" Peace]]>

<![CDATA[While your busy calling people names and being third grade please be advised that "we the people" are being screwed not only by republicans, By Democrats, by Libs, By Assholes, Attempting to make the general populous submit to their will. I don't buy into the illusion that our problem with the country is a republican thing or a democratic thing. That system was set up for the very purpose that were doing here today on craigslist, cause friction among us!! Remember the divide and conquer theory Well this is one of them, just as racism was manipulated the same way, whites against the blacks , etc. there was even books written on it in 1840's how the elite could use the racism card to control the masses and it worked and the people whites and blacks were oblivious to the whole thing they thought it was really about being black or white but it was not. the system was set up by White elitist from Europe that settled here around the civil war erea. This is another corrupt thing by the elite for the elite to bring us down as a country and individually into slave status. the Illusion that we elect the president is totally bogus. When ever the elites want another angle to control us they create another problem , get us all at odds with one another and step in like a first grade teacher and makes us all put our heads down . Are we to ignorant as a society to see what they are doing? Are we to ignorant to see their manipulations with health-care, 9/11 the "patriot act}Spying,Cameras on every corner, spy chips in our clothing tags and they are working to make them smaller!. For what purpose? if there is nothing cynical going on , why do they need to be smaller than a Dime and ink pen points. They are doing this and Many of you people can not accept that they are manipulating the people into a health care "Crisis" How stupid/ignorant are you not to see or even try to see. Close minded people got on the train in Poland and Germany over 60 years ago because they could not "believe" that their Fuhrer could do such a thing. We have come to know as second knowledge[the halocost] they were also closed minded and thought he was a messiah. Many of them were at odds with each other, the ones that saw what he was about tried to tell what they knew, The messenger was deemed crazy, just like now! The pols and the Germans/Jew people thought that he was going to take care of them, or feed them His tactics were. what Our past few presidents and the fed has done to this country, Made money out of thin air, recked the economy, everybody was starving so they were taking handouts, they actually thought it was a good thing in the beginning. the trains! Will you people think the same thing??? You people Are completing the cycle and history. I feel sorry for the closed minded that can not, will not, see whats happening to this country and their freedoms. It was said in 1910 from a well known aristocrat, he was also a politician " if you starve a nation they are just like cattle they will submit to your every word just by offering crumbs" With all that said, peace]]>

<![CDATA[<h4>After reading <a href="http://nashville.craigslist.org/pol/1644929157.html" rel="nofollow">*your post*</a> it is abundantly clear you have been successfully (over-the-top) brain-washed. The powers that be have you thoroughly convinced that you and all other earthly citizens will be much better off wearing the same government issued clothes, driving the same government auto, living in the same type government housing, etc; etc;. ~*~~*~~La La la la la... Peace to all man-kind~~*~~*... It all sounds so happy and wonderful, and for MORONS it is a great deal with mommy and pappy GOV looking out for your every need. LMAO... Wake-Up Dumb-ass'. Don't you realize that what you're hoping for is to have power slobbering despots set themselves up as LORD and MASTER over your very existence. And the minute you're deemed no longer a productive servant of the government/GODS you will simply be done away with. Due to the neglect of the silent majority, (NORMAL people) we became complacent and much too tolerent with the actions/behaviors of to many ignorant people. Now it is time for the Moral Majority to step up and deal with the insane, despotic power Mongers WE allowed to manifest through negligence on our part. Because of such negligence, now we have two MINOR obsticles to overcome. Number one... Remove a few hundred corrupt, insane. despotic, power-drooling tyrants from their self perceived positions of power... (Reality.. The only power these despots possess is what WE the people allow them to possess).... Number two... Then WE herd up all the little flocks of confused, indoctrinated sheep and explain to them they've been hypnotized by our crooked Governments propaganda... They'll be fine in a month or so. And from then on... Make sure that in order to vote people must pass a fundimental quiz on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.. Once these minor issues are corrected, then we can direct some ernest effert to some real problems like jobs and health-care. But first these insane NWO/dictator wanna b's has to has to be dealt with. Take a look at the following short video and then see if you want the Government running healthcare...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=7n2m-X7OIuY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=7n2m-X7OIuY</a> </h4>]]>

<![CDATA[For those of you who oppose health reform... Why do you think premiums keep going up? You are already paying for people who don't have insurance. When you guys say that it is a "gov't takeover of healthcare" -- you are wrong! A gov't takeover would mean that the hospitals and doctors work for the gov't like mail carriers do. No one is suggesting that. I personally have problems w/the bill as well, but to do nothing (which is what Republicans want to do) would mean our premiums are going to double in 10 yrs. The guy that is always posting on here insulting people and their ideas, never offers up anything positive. No ideas, nothing! It's quite funny, because I would be willing to bet money that this guy is on Medicare and gets social security. I guess he doesn't mind the gov't when they are giving him socialized medical care and money, but god forbid anyone else get it!]]>

<![CDATA[You reps babble on about welfare bums!!! Do you realize the same corporations you run and work for get corporate welfare? Where is the outrage from that waste of money?

Turn off Hannity and Beck!!! Go apply for a job at walmart or target etc and see if they dont ask you have you been on welfare recently! See if they dont get tax breaks AKA corporate welfare for hiring your ass and minimum wage!!!! How many trillions have gone to corporate welfare over the last 30 years or more??? How many billions went to corporate welfare aka THE BAILOUTS??????? Where were you? It was your right wing messiah BUSH that started it all. So next time you decide you want to get all self righteous about someone needing help take a look at the right wingers who get the same help!!! You right wingers make me sick!!! Youre all a bunch of bloody hypocrits!!! <a href="http://www.corporations.org/welfare/" rel="nofollow">http://www.corporations.org/welfare/</a>]]>

<![CDATA[Socialism means being socially conscious. We depend on the people around us to a degree most of us to not understand or consider. We are social creatures. Socialism is rooted in concern for the world around us and our place in it. Capitalism turns us into cattle. We are producers or consumers. If we can no longer produce because of age or disability or aren't interested in running out and consuming/buying the newest thing, we are of no value. If we produce few tax dollars for our government we are little value. Just look at the way we care for our elderly. Capitalism reduces us to assets or liabilities in the workplace and to our government. ]]>

When in power republicans never shrink govt. You only talk about it. Blah blah blah!!!! You preach faith based charities should take care of the poor but you never do!! You preach honesty and integrity in govt but your businesses are more corrupt and dirty than any politician has ever been. You preach anti gay but play butt darts with the page or intern when ya get the chance. The republican party is nothing more than a bunch of snake oil salesmen and you all should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!!!!!!! You all claim you care about children but when someone with kids needs help the first thing out of your mouths is " they arent my responsibility"!!! You blather on about being the party of the family but when families need help and fall on hard times your first response is "GET A JOB IM NOT PAYING FOR YOU"!!!!

There is a chance my wifes intestinal issues could be colon cancer and we cant get any help!!! DROP DEAD you right wing neo con bastards!! You people babble on about charities can take care of the uninsured but where are they??? You people babble on about it not being your responsibility!!! So your solution is to just let those who are sick die?? How sweet of you!!!! How american!! How right wing christian of you... I find it funny that you right wingers bitch about the schools teaching darwinism and not creation but when it comes to helping people in need you become DARWIN!!!

<![CDATA[I am sorry that your family has health issues. Please do not take me wrong but here is my point of view. While it is sad that you have problems , but should all the rest of America have to lose their independence to choose their health care and how they get because you can not afford it? Should we all become victim's of the recent health scheme for YOUR family. I don't mean to sound ignorant. If the health-care bill passes it might do a few things to help your family but In the long run it will destroy our country and your family because they will be totally controlled by the fed government. Would you rather be sick and free or needled and prodded and maybe taken care of a little bit with the loss of your freedom, or whats left? the Insurance companies want the health care bill to pass, a mandatory fine for anybody that does not buy it! will you be able to afford the mandatory healthcare, if not your get a fine and that will be worse. They have broke everything they have touched we don't need another biggie in that list. Eat healthier, circumvent preventable diseases, find some supplemental like dental,eye. Get a health saving account and put 50 dollars in every payday. there is a lot of Insurance providers that are affordable without the gov getting in your business. try NASE.com even if your not self employed there might be something there for you and your family. Good luck, peace]]>

<![CDATA[ Epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson explains why it's equality, and not high income, that makes a society thrive. March 9, 2010 <a href="http://www.alternet.org/health/145955/what_makes_the_healthiest_and_happiest_societies_hint%3A_it%27s_not_wealth" rel="nofollow">http://www.alternet.org/health/145955/what_makes_the_healthiest_and_happiest_societies_hint%3A_it%27s_not_wealth</a> We live in a world of deep inequality, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. We in the rich world generally agree that this is a problem we ought to help fix—but that the real beneficiaries will be the billions of people living in poverty. After all, inequality has little impact on the lives of those who find themselves on top of the pile. Right? Not exactly, says British epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson. For decades, Wilkinson has studied why some societies are healthier than others. He found that what the healthiest societies have in common is not that they have more—more income, more education, or more wealth—but that what they have is more equitably shared. In fact, it turns out that not only disease, but a whole host of social problems ranging from mental illness to drug use are worse in unequal societies. In his latest book, The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better, co-written with Kate Pickett, Wilkinson details the pernicious effects that inequality has on societies: eroding trust, increasing anxiety and illness, encouraging excessive consumption. The good news is that increased equality has the opposite effect: statistics show that communities without large gaps between rich and poor are more resilient and their members live longer, happier lives. YES! Magazine web editor Brooke Jarvis sat down with Richard Wilkinson to discuss the surprising importance of equality—and the best ways to build it. Brooke Jarvis: You've studied the impact of inequality on public health for a long time. Did any of your recent findings surprise you? Richard Wilkinson: Oh, all of them. In fact, the relationship is weaker for health than for many other problems—we looked at life expectancy, mental illness, teen birthrates, violence, the percent of populations in prison, and drug use. They were all not just a little bit worse, but much worse, in more unequal countries. If I'd known how strong those connections would be, I would have looked for them a decade earlier. In fact, I'm still surprised that no one did look at them earlier.]]>

<![CDATA[By Igor Volsky on Mar 12th, 2010 at 5:15 pm I’ve been arguing that the GOP’s health care proposals would shift the risk and the cost of insurance from the employer and the government to the individual. It’s what Jacob Hacker calls The Great Risk Shift. By relying on high deductible plans in the individual health insurance market and health savings accounts, Republicans are dismantling the kinds of pooling mechanisms that spread risks “across rich, and poor, healthy and sick, able-bodied and disabled, young and old” and shifting more of the economic costs and risks of insurance onto a single individual. That’s the essence of consumer-driven medicine. Skyrocketing health care costs are already forcing employers to switch into plans with higher deductibles and co-payments and a new survey of employers finds that without significant reform, Americans will move faster towards the conservative health care utopia. A growing number of employers are predicting that unsustainable health care spending will force them to “charge more to cover spouses, tighten eligibility standards for their health plans and dispense financial rewards or penalties based on the results of certain lab tests“: Meanwhile, employees at many companies can expect significantly higher premiums, deductibles and co-payments…the new survey is a reminder that even people who are satisfied with their insurance plans cannot count on a continuation of the status quo. With or without reform, coverage at big corporations is likely to become less affordable, and it could become more restrictive. [...] In addition, employers are increasingly moving toward high-deductible plans, which carry lower premiums while leaving workers responsible for higher out-of-pocket expenses. Next year, 12 percent of employers plan to offer only high-deductible coverage, the survey found. Conservatives have pushed back against health care reform by arguing that most Americans like the insurance they have. And indeed, reform advocates have had a difficult time engaging the insured majority — who feel insulated from the insurance problems of others. But many Americans in employer based coverage are already experiencing the kind of shifts the survey describes and I suspect if reform doesn’t pass this time around, those poll numbers will begin to shift. Nobody actually wants to use the Republican prescription. Especially when they get sick. <a href="http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/" rel="nofollow">http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/</a> ]]>

<![CDATA[ You asked to be proven wrong. Obama care is not free, in fact it will cost more than any health care in the world. It will cost us our freedom, Its just another way for the left wing liberals to hold americans hostage. Jobs are being lost everyday and non being created under the obama administration, except government jobs which are a liability to american tax payers. We need to stop this administration in their tracks and start over and cut all fat and beauracy out of health care so the average american can afford health insurance. If this is not true please post your facts rebuking this statement.   <blockquote> From the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office: Updated Estimate of Budgetary Impact "CBO and JCT now estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting H.R. 3590 as passed by the Senate would yield a net reduction in federal deficits of $118 billion over the 2010-2019 period." Source:  <a href="http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc11307/Reid_Letter_HR3590.pdf" rel="nofollow"> http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc11307/Reid_Letter_HR3590.pdf</a>   You post your opinion as fact and demand that someone "post facts to rebuke" your statement.  Yet not one fact is sourced in your post.  No one ever said that health care reform would be free.  Freedom isn't free.  (Wasn't that the cry from the right when the debt got racked up?) Freedom is not free.  Health care will not be free.  The government has wasted more tax dollars on so many frivolous projects on no-bid contracts alone over the past ten years than the cost of health care will be over ten years. It is past time that the American people have affordable health care.  So many millions of Americans go without health care for no reason other than money.  The money issue can be solved.  The health care legislation that will pass soon does not change doctor/patient privacy nor does it infringe on anyone's freedom as an American.  The Obama Administration is handling the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression excellent.  You know, we could have 25% unemployment or higher had Congress not took action with the Stimulus Act.  Losing 35,000 jobs a month is not comparable at all to losing 700,000+ jobs per month, as was the case, when the President was sworn into office. The Great Recession caused by the Bush Administration is easing.  Each day, more and more jobs become available.  Not all jobs are government jobs.  In a recent bill passed by Congress, tax incentives were given to small business to help spur job creation in the private sector. Additional funding to the private sector was given during the Recovery Act. You can see all of the private-sector jobs created at recovery.gov if you would go there.  It is a bit challenging to bring new jobs to the private sector when you have mutli-billion dollar corporations such as Wal-Mart selling cheap crap from China and hiring illegal workers. Immigration reform is next on the Obama agenda. So many products used to be made in the United States.  Thanks to the profit motive and relentless toll unregulated capitalism has brought to this country thanks to previous Administrations (Bush and Clinton and even Reagan).  These former administrations did nothing short of opening the floodgates for jobs to be taken to China and Mexico.  Americans cannot compete with someone who will work 100 hours a week for a sack of rice. We need an expansion of jobs in all surviving industries that cannot be outsourced.  (This includes the health care industry). We need to increase our exports and lead the world in solar and wind technology.  We need to become the engineers the Japanese cannot replicate so we can once again lead the world. While we wait, we can start by taxing the crap out of the large businesses that have sent our jobs offshore.  We tried offering them tax cuts and we all know how that worked out.  They still sent the jobs overseas and raised the cost of their products which are lower in quality than when they were made in the U.S.A.  More Americans are getting higher costs and lower quality products and this is what happens without regulation.  Americans are rejecting the stale ideals from the  Republican party.  You cannot answer "No" to every question and problem and expect that to always be the right answer.  That's similar to picking "C" for every question on a multiple-choice test.  It's a losing strategy. If you R's don't see the political calamity in saying "No" to every single domestic issue you need a few more election cycles to better understand how doing nothing is not leadership. Democrats are not thrilled at every thing Congress is coming up with either.  At least the Democrats are trying to implement solutions.  We will replace these Blue Dog Dems with more bold, progressive candidates.  Hell will freeze over before Republicans hold a majority again.    </blockquote> ]]>

<![CDATA[What's wrong with America? It's not socialism, it's corporatism! I know several of you on here are already saying whatever -- just another obot! Well, if you read this it will show you how Obama is just another corporatist like Reagan, Bush and Clinton. This group, called the Business Roundtable, consist of CEOs from GE, Newscorp, Comcast, AT&T, Halliburton, Shell, Walmart, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and on and on... They are the new world order and they are making sure everything stays business as usual -- very rich get richer and the middle class sinks lower and lower. They are in control -- as is the World Bank, World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund. If you take the time to read anything this wnkd - this is it - this coming from someone who voted for Bush in 2000! Thanks. <a href="http://www.alternet.org/economy/145996/the_most_powerful_destructive_corporate_business_club_most_americans_have_never_heard_of?page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.alternet.org/economy/145996/the_most_powerful_destructive_corporate_business_club_most_americans_have_never_heard_of?page=1</a> "It has now become evident to a critical mass that the Republican and Democratic parties, along with all three branches of our government, have been bought off by a well-organized Economic Elite who are tactically destroying our way of life. The harsh truth is that 99% of the US population no longer has political representation. The US economy, government and tax system is now blatantly rigged against us.Current statistical societal indicators clearly demonstrate that a strategic attack has been launched and an analysis of current governmental policies prove that conditions for 99% of Americans will continue to deteriorate. The Economic Elite have engineered a financial coup and have brought war to our doorstep. . . and make no mistake, they have launched a war to eliminate the US middle class." I don’t view the Economic Elite as a small group of men who meet in secrecy to control the world. They do feature elements of conspiracy and are clearly composed of secretive organizations like the Bilderberg Group -- this is not a conspiracy theory, this is a conspiracy fact - but as a whole the Economic Elite are primarily united by ideology. They’re made up of thousands of individuals who subscribe to an ideology of exploitation and the belief that wealth and resources need to be concentrated into the fewest hands possible (theirs), at the expense of the many. That being said, there are some definite lead players in this group and it is important that we are not too vague and expose the individuals who publicly lead them. Focusing on the fundamental structure of the US economy, we have people like Hank Paulson, Tim Geithner, Ben Bernanke, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Alan Greenspan, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, John Mack, Vikram Pandit,and John Thain. In total, the Economic Elite are made up of about 0.5% of the US population. At the center of this group is the Business Roundtable, an organization representing Fortune 500 CEOs that is also interlocked with several lead elite organizations. Most Americans have never heard of the Business Roundtable. However, in my analysis, it is the most influential and powerful Economic Elite organization. “The Business Roundtable joined the Business Council at the heart of both the corporate community and the policy-formation network and now has the most powerful role…. The Roundtable’s interlocks with other policy groups and with think tanks are presented [below].” -– G. William Domhoff, Who Rules America? The Roundtable’s first year of operation was 1972, which coincided with the beginning of the CEO salary explosion, and has been the driving force behind the unprecedented concentration of wealth since their inception. Their dominance over the US economy and government is unparalleled. Their members are a Who’s Who of everything that is wrong with our economy. Here is a partial list of some of their lead members: ——-Lloyd C. Blankfein, Goldman Sachs ——-James Dimon, JPMorgan Chase & Co. ——-James P. Gorman, Morgan Stanley ——-Vikram S.

<![CDATA[2 years in jail also possible for agent enforcing U.S. regulations on firearm Posted: March 13, 2010 12:20 am Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily Wyoming has joined a growing list of states with self-declared exemptions from federal gun regulation of weapons made, bought and used inside state borders – but lawmakers in the Cowboy State have taken the issue one step further, adopting significant penalties for federal agents attempting to enforce Washington's rules. According a law signed into effect yesterday by Democratic Gov. Dave Freudenthal, any agent of the U.S. who "enforces or attempts to enforce" federal gun rules on a "personal firearm" in Wyoming faces a felony conviction and a penalty of up to two years in prison and up to $2,000 in fines. WND reported just days ago when Utah became the third state, joining Montana and Tennessee, to adopt an exemption from federal regulations for weapons built, sold and kept within state borders. A lawsuit is pending over the Montana law, which was the first to go into effect. But Wyoming's law goes further, stating, "Any official, agent or employee of the United States government who enforces or attempts to enforce any act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming and that remains exclusively within the borders of Wyoming shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be subject to imprisonment for not more than two (2) years, a fine of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), or both." Here are answers to all your questions about guns, ammunition and accessories. Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, who has spearheaded the Montana law, now describes himself as a sort of "godfather" to the national campaign.

<![CDATA[...must be very serious. Why else would SEAN claim "I never questioned anyone's patriotism." (HANITY on 9/18/03) We ALL HEARD him say "Is it that you hate this president, or that you hate America?" (HANNITY TO ATTORNEY STAN COHEN on 4/30/03) and we ALL HEARD him say "Governor, (a democrat) why wouldn't anyone want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, unless they detested their own country?" (HANNITY on 6/12/03) and we ALL HEARD him say "'I hate America.' This is the extreme left." (HANNITY on 1/23/02) and we ALL HEARD him say "You (Sara Flounders of International Action Center) don't like this country, do you? You think this is an evil country." (HANNITY on 9/25/01) SEAN also said "It doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution this idea of the separation of church and state." (HANNITY 8/25/03) But in REALITY, the 1st Ammendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." (See U.S. Constitution) SEAN said "If he (John Kerry) had his way and the CIA would almost be nonexistent." (HANNITY on 1/30/04) But in REALITY Kerry supported $200 billion in intelligence funding over the past seven years, a 50 percent increase since 1996. Kerry votes supporting intelligence funding include: a) FY03 Intel Authorization $39.3-$41.3 Billion [2002 Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 9/25/02], b) FY02 Intel Authorization $33 Billion [2001 Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 12/13/01], c) FY01 Intel Authorization $29.5-$31.5 Billion [2000, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 12/6/00], d) FY00 Intel Authorization $29-$30 Billion [1999 Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 11/19/1999], e) FY99 Intel Authorization $29.0 Billion [1998 Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 10/8/98], f) FY98 Intel Authorization $26.7 Billion [1997 Senate Roll Call Vote #109], g) FY97 Intel Authorization $26.6 Billion [1996 Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 9/25/96] SEAN also said "The author of the Bill of Rights (James Madison) hired the first chaplain... and I think the author of the Bill of Rights knows more about the original intent--no offense to you and your liberal atheist activism--knows more about it than you do." (HANNITY 9/4/02) But in REALITY Madison himself was NOT PLEASED by the presence of chaplains in Congress: "Is the appointment of Chaplains to the two Houses of Congress consistent with the Constitution, and with the pure principle of religious freedom? In strictness the answer on both points must be in the negative." (James Madison) SEAN also said "Colin Powell just had a great piece that he had in the paper today. He was there [in Iraq]. He said things couldn't have been better." (HANNITY on 9/19/03) But in REALITY Colin Powell said "American commanders and troops told me of the many threats they face--from leftover loyalists who want to return Iraq to the dark days of Saddam, from criminals who were set loose on Iraqi society when Saddam emptied the jails and, increasingly, from outside terrorists who have come to Iraq to open a new front in their campaign against the civilized world." (Colin Powell, 9/19/03) SEAN also said "In northern Iraq today, this very day, al Qaeda is operating camps...they are attacking the Kurds in the north." (HANNITY on 12/9/02) But in REALITY David Kay (appointed by Bush) said his team, who were on the ground for months investigating Saddam's regime, did not find "any links at all" between Saddam and Al Qaeda. (Boston Globe, 6/16/04) SEAN also said "Betsy (McCaughey), they're not going to lose it (public housing) because if you work less than 30 hours a week...if you work more than 30 hours a week...you have free housing." MCCAUGHEY (a Conservative) answered "No, Sean. Let me correct you. People in public housing are not receiving free housing. Many pay market rates." To which SEAN replied: "Betsy, that is so ridiculous and so false, it's hardly even worth spending the time. (HANNITY on 10/23/03) FACT: Public housing residents pay rent that is 30 percent of monthly adjusted income. No one lives in public housing for free. (Department of Housing & Urban Development) ]]>

<![CDATA[Published: March 11, 2010 The first of these myths, which has been all over the airwaves lately, is the claim that President Obama is proposing a government takeover of one-sixth of the economy, the share of G.D.P. currently spent on health. Well, if having the government regulate and subsidize health insurance is a “takeover,” that takeover happened long ago. Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs already pay for almost half of American health care, while private insurance pays for barely more than a third (the rest is mostly out-of-pocket expenses). And the great bulk of that private insurance is provided via employee plans, which are both subsidized with tax exemptions and tightly regulated. The only part of health care in which there isn’t already a lot of federal intervention is the market in which individuals who can’t get employment-based coverage buy their own insurance. And that market, in case you hadn’t noticed, is a disaster — no coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, coverage dropped when you get sick, and huge premium increases in the middle of an economic crisis. It’s this sector, plus the plight of Americans with no insurance at all, that reform aims to fix. What’s wrong with that? The second myth is that the proposed reform does nothing to control costs. To support this claim, critics point to reports by the Medicare actuary, who predicts that total national health spending would be slightly higher in 2019 with reform than without it. Even if this prediction were correct, it points to a pretty good bargain. The actuary’s assessment of the Senate bill, for example, finds that it would raise total health care spending by less than 1 percent, while extending coverage to 34 million Americans who would otherwise be uninsured. That’s a large expansion in coverage at an essentially trivial cost. And it gets better as we go further into the future: the Congressional Budget Office has just concluded, in a new report, that the arithmetic of reform will look better in its second decade than it did in its first. Which brings me to the third myth: that health reform is fiscally irresponsible. How can people say this given Congressional Budget Office predictions — which, as I’ve already argued, are probably too pessimistic — that reform would actually reduce the deficit? Critics argue that we should ignore what’s actually in the legislation; when cost control actually starts to bite on Medicare, they insist, Congress will back down. But this isn’t an argument against Obamacare, it’s a declaration that we can’t control Medicare costs no matter what. And it also flies in the face of history: contrary to legend, past efforts to limit Medicare spending have in fact “stuck,” rather than being withdrawn in the face of political pressure. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/opinion/12krugman.html?src=twt&twt=NytimesKrugman" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/opinion/12krugman.html?src=twt&twt=NytimesKrugman</a> ]]>

<![CDATA[I love this Obama bashing from Republicans who have no ideas of their own other than trying to make the guy look bad. For the record, I would have voted for Ron Paul if the Republican party would have listened to reason and gaven him a chance, but they picked McCain and that idiot Palin so you have to go with the lesser of two evils. *Something has to be done about Health Care and what is the Republican plan? Demonize Obama and offer nothing of their own because so many of them are worried about the next election to make a decision is political suicide. Better to do nothing and hope for the best. This is what our political system has become. *We're in debt and it isn't Obama's fault. The stimulus money Bush spent went to China where everything we buy is made and to companies that screw the American people out of jobs by moving them to China where they can take advantage of workers and capture greater profits. We're in debt because Bush decided to start two wars with no clear objective or enemy. If you didn't agree with what he said you were a terrorist. This makes Democrats terrorists. *Obama isn't going to take away guns no matter how much fear mongers like Republicans try to convince us he will. I'm in the center and there is no way I'd go of any more gun control. By the way, gun ownership is at an all time high during his administration with more people than ever holding a conceal and carry permit. How's that for Obama gun control. *Obama wants to get rid of Guantanamo. Great idea. Bush made the world see us a imperialists and Obama is trying to clean that idiot's mess up. We have no right to hold people for years without giving them a trial. How is that American? How does that show proof of justice? Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity for our involvement in the war along with Cheney. I travel quite a bit and see a very different attitude toward the United States over the past 10 years when I'm in other countries. *Republicans raise taxes every time the cost of living goes up. If you pay more for everything you pay more in taxes. The price of fuel increased during the Bush years and the price of everything increased as a result. More taxes! Can't you see that? *THE VALUE OF A THING IS THAT WHICH PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO AND ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. The whole housing crisis is a result of overvalued homes being sold and people making a killing in construction and the rest of the housing market. Nobody cared at the time because everybody was making huge profits, but when the price of fuel went up and everything started getting more expensive people no longer had money to spend on overpriced homes. Snowball effect. They lost them and the price of homes is falling back to where it should have been in the first place. *Being socially conscious isn't a terrible thing because it equates to being concerned about the world around us and our place in it. Everything we do has an effect on people around us and it is time we understand we are social creatures. We can't isolate ourselves in gated communities or a this country as a whole without fear that negative decisions we make come back to haunt us. Send a job overseas or give it to an illegal immigrant and you put an American out of work which gives us more people needing benefits. Kill a few people in Iraq and Afghanistan who aren't the "enemy" and you create a whole new crop of jihadist muslims looking for revenge. I don't see them targeting parts of the world that stay out of these conflicts. Cause and effect. By the way, most Americans aren't Republican or Democrat. Consider what both parties stand for and most of us are in the middle. I am. We just have to choose between the two when most of us fall into the middle. Create a strong third party and let the fringe idiots fall by the wayside. ]]>

<![CDATA[Fed agencies seize toys, call them 'machine guns' Claim pot metal frames actually could fire bullets Posted: March 12, 2010 12:45 am Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily A gun rights organization has launched a Freedom of Information request following a decision by federal Customs and Border Protection agents to seize a shipment of toy pellet guns and a determination by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that they could be converted into machine guns so they must be destroyed. Government agencies have explained that the Airsoft toys, made of a soft pot metal and lacking a firing mechanism, easily could be converted into a true weapon capable of automatic fire. "Our firearms technology branch classified this as a machine gun," BATFE Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said in a report assembled by Gun Owners of America. "With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun." Gun Owners spokesman Erich Pratt told WND today his organization has launched a FOIA demand for information to find out on what basis the government reached that conclusion. The case stems from the confiscation just weeks ago of the shipment of several dozen of the plastic pellet-firing Airsoft toys from Brad Martin and his son, Ben, in Cornelius, Ore.

<![CDATA[I have spent some time in "socialist" countries. I've used their health care and have gotten to know a lot of great people. Obama's policies are not socialist. If Obama can't pass health care with a strong public option, but he still puts in mandates to buy coverage -- who do you think that benefits? Business of course. If he is such a "socialist" then why did he receive so much money from wall street in his campaign? Since our economic collapse, why hasn't there been any regulation of our financial markets. There has been no regulation of credit default swaps, derivatives or repeal of Glass Steagall. Nothing! Why is this? If we know all these factors played a role in the collapse why not fix them right away and protect the people and their money. If Obama is a "socialist", then why are all his boys from Goldman Sachs and Wall Street? Seems to me capitalism hasn't really worked out. U.S. might have a lot of money, but all that money is concentrated in a few hands. When the rich keep getting richer they don't grow their business and hire more people. They become venture capitalists and play in the stock market all day long. Maybe we could use a little socialism to have a better playing field. ]]>

<![CDATA[March 4, 2010 Although some Americans worry about the growing power of the government, few understand the real power that controls their everyday lives. Private monopolies determine the brand of breakfast cereal we eat, the type of car we drive, where we bank, the medical treatment we receive, the fashion of our clothes, and the kind of toothbrush we use, in addition to the beer we drink, the health insurance we buy, and what we feed our pets. Under the guise of "the free market," conglomerates merged and bought up smaller companies, until, today, they dominate their respective markets in every commodity offered for sale in the U.S. In this race to consolidate, companies "rationalized" their offerings, in many cases dropping up to 40 percent of what they formerly produced. They buy from the same suppliers, use interchangeable parts and common ingredients, and re-name similar brands, essentially placing the same product in different packages. For example, one company produces all of the pet food under 150 different brands. "People say we have an uncontrolled free market but we have the opposite," says Barry C. Lynn, senior fellow at the New American Foundation. "What we have today is a laissez faire American version of feudalism; a private government in the form of private corporations run by private individuals who consolidated power to govern entire activities within our political economy." In a new book, "Cornered: The New Monopoly Capitalism and The Economics of Destruction," Lynn describes the many past struggles in America between small elite oligarchies and democratic government. Throughout our history, Americans have beaten back the attempts of monopolies to control various industries. The Boston Tea Party fought to overturn monopolization of commerce by the private British East India Company. Alexander Hamilton's attempt to help his friends out with the whiskey tax, led to the Whiskey Rebellion. People acting through government prevented a small elite from controlling our railroads, steel mills, the oil industry and other concentrations of power. <a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/145921/tea_partiers_should_be_picketing_the_corporations_that_dominate_our_lives" rel="nofollow">http://www.alternet.org/story/145921/tea_partiers_should_be_picketing_the_corporations_that_dominate_our_lives</a>]]>

<![CDATA[15 Reasons Why We Need a Revolt in This Country Government works quite well for big corporations, banks, insurance companies, military contractors, lobbyists, and for the rich and powerful. But it does not work for people. March 7, 2010 | It is time for a revolution. Government does not work for regular people. It appears to work quite well for big corporations, banks, insurance companies, military contractors, lobbyists, and for the rich and powerful. But it does not work for people. The 1776 Declaration of Independence stated that when a long train of abuses by those in power evidence a design to reduce the rights of people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the peoples right, in fact their duty to engage in a revolution. Martin Luther King, Jr., said forty three years ago next month that it was time for a radical revolution of values in the United States. He preached “a true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies.” It is clearer than ever that now is the time for radical change. Look at what our current system has brought us and ask if it is time for a revolution? Over 2.8 million people lost their homes in 2009 to foreclosure or bank repossessions – nearly 8000 each day – higher numbers than the last two years when millions of others also lost their homes. At the same time, the government bailed out Bank of America, Citigroup, AIG, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the auto industry and enacted the troubled asset (TARP) program with $1.7 trillion of our money. Wall Street then awarded itself over $20 billion in bonuses in 2009 alone, an average bonus on top of pay of $123,000. At the same time, over 17 million people are jobless right now. Millions more are working part-time when they want and need to be working full-time. Yet the current system allows one single U.S. Senator to stop unemployment and Medicare benefits being paid to millions. There are now 35 registered lobbyists in Washington DC for every single member of the Senate and House of Representatives, at last count 13,739 in 2009. There are eight lobbyists for every member of Congress working on the health care fiasco alone. At the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations now have a constitutional right to interfere with elections by pouring money into races. The Department of Justice gave a get out of jail free card to its own lawyers who authorized illegal torture. At the same time another department of government, the Pentagon, is prosecuting Navy SEALS for punching an Iraqi suspect. The US is not only involved in senseless wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the U.S. now maintains 700 military bases world-wide and another 6000 in the US and our territories. Young men and women join the military to protect the U.S. and to get college tuition and healthcare coverage and killed and maimed in elective wars and being the world’s police. Wonder whose assets they are protecting and serving? In fact, the U.S. spends $700 billion directly on military per year, half the military spending of the entire world – much more than Europe, China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, and Venezuela - combined. The government and private companies have dramatically increased surveillance of people through cameras on public streets and private places, airport searches, phone intercepts, access to personal computers, and compilation of records from credit card purchases, computer views of sites, and travel. The number of people in jails and prisons in the U.S. has risen sevenfold since 1970 to over 2.3 million. The US puts a higher percentage of our people in jail than any other country in the world. The tea party people are mad at the Republicans, who they accuse of selling them out to big businesses. Democrats are working their way past depression to anger because their party, despite majorities in the House and Senate, has not made significant advances for immigrants, or women, or unions, or African Americans, or environmentalists, or gays and lesbians, or civil libertarians, or people dedicated to health care, or human rights, or jobs or housing or economic justice. Democrats also think their party is selling out to big business. Forty three years ago next month, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached in Riverside Church in New York City that “a time comes when silence is betrayal.” He went on to condemn the Vietnam War and the system which created it and the other injustices clearly apparent. “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing oriented” society to a “person oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” It is time.]]>

<![CDATA[No, not everything is W's fault. You make a valid point. Without Reagan there would have been NO Bush. Here is a brief record of what history will show: -History will record this mess beginning with Ronald Reagan. (The greatest actor the US has ever had as President) -George H.W. Bush rode Reagan's coat-tails into the White House for one term. -After a painful recession (which is laughable compared to the current recession), the People elected William Jefferson Clinton. -Clinton presided over the largest expansion in the US economy EVER in American history. -In 2000, the American people (by popular vote), elected Al Gore President. George W. Bush decided to steal that election and the Supreme Court was influenced by Reagan and Bush Sr. appointments. Bush was President and narrowly won a re-election bid in 2004. The election in 2004 came down to only one state and 200,000 votes - Ohio. -By popular vote, the American people rejected George W. Bush from the beginning. It became a game of who could get the most electoral votes. Politics became a game of screwing the populous. -In 2008, the American people had enough. The collapse of Capitalism had taken it's toll on Americans. Barack Hussein Obama II was overwhelmingly elected President by popular and electoral votes. As his Administration continues to do each and every item the man campaigned and won - Republicans throw a temper tantrum or tea party (same thing). Conservatives and Republicans are both feverishly trying to re-write history and seek a short-term political advantage. Americans living in poverty in the South are so oppressed by their local and state governments they actually believe "trickle-down" economics is good for persons in middle/lower class. The country is divided now but the facts remain whole. The facts will not change - politics will and are. When all Americans receive the facts and accept the facts they will realize the entire Reagan administration was a mistake. His Presidential ranking will drop in history. Americans will eventually accept the fact they were duped by corporate interests with the face of a very likable actor - Ronald Reagan. You are right. Let's not blame George W. Bush for everything. That dumbass does not deserve that much credit. He gets credit simply by having national name recognition thanks to Ronald Reagan and a bad Supreme Court decision. Gore should have been the 43rd President. Obama should be the 44th (as he is). If anyone or any group is to blame. The blame should go to Ronald Reagan and the Supreme Court and bad voting machines in one county of Florida. One county... Bush Jr. should have never saw the Oval Office. 1/21/09 was the end of an ERROR. ]]>

<![CDATA[Barack Obama is less of a person than an image— a brand. People see whatever they want, as they do on a Rorschach test. But does anyone really know him? In fact, he is: *A man who was deserted in childhood by his biological father. *A man whose birth records, both in the United States and Kenya, are sealed by government order (interesting isn't it?) *A man whose childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, spied on U.S. military installations in Hawaii for the Soviet Union, edited a communist newspaper, authored pornographic novels, and wrote poetry in praise of Joseph Stalin. *A man mentored by and still supported by radical Muslims. *A man who promised transparency in government, but has spent over a million dollars in legal fees hiding information that would determine his eligibility to be President. *A former drug user. *A man whose academic records are sealed from kindergarten through law school. *A man who arrived in New York in June of 1981 without enough money to get a hotel room, but one month later flew to Indonesia and Pakistan. Why did he go? Who paid his expenses? *A man who traveled to Pakistan when it was illegal for U.S. citizens to do so. So what country’s passport did he use? *A man whose Law School Admission Test scores and grades at Columbia University are known to have been mediocre, but was admitted to Harvard Law School through the intervention of a Saudi named Khalid al-Mansour. *A law review editor who never published an article in any law review. *A lawyer with no significant accomplishments in the law and no reputation in the legal community. *A former State and U.S. Senator, who never authored a piece of legislation. *A disciple of the Marxist Saul Alinsky. *A product of the Chicago political machine -- the most corrupt political organization in America. *A man who selects Marxists, corrupt politicians and criminals as his close political associates and personal friends. *A man whose presidential candidacy was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, the Socialist International and the Workers International League. *A man lauded for the literary brilliance of two memoirs, both of which were ghostwritten by others. *A so-called Christian who says that knowing when human life begins is “above his pay-grade,” but somehow knows that abortion is permissible at any stage. *A man who thinks “waterboarding” is immoral, but that partial-birth abortion is moral. *A man who publicly laments slavery in America -- which was abolished 150 years ago -- but praises Islam, which still practices both slavery and the sexual mutilation of young girls. *A man who speaks endlessly about helping the less fortunate, but gives almost none of his sizeable income to charity -- not even to his half-brother, who is living in squalor in Kenya. *A man who had the most left-wing voting record in the United State Senate, but was predicted by the press to “govern from the middle.” *A man who has never created a job, met a payroll, or even operated a lemonade stand, but wants to tell Detroit how to make cars. *A President who has never before served as an executive in either the private or the public sector. *A Commander-in-Chief who doesn’t know how to shoot a rifle, throw a hand-grenade, drive a tank, fly a plane or command a ship. *A Commander-in-Chief who has publicly divulged some of our nation’s most important intelligence secrets. *A man who has been put in charge of the largest economic engine that ever existed, but has never invested in the stock market and admits total ignorance of it. *A President who says that science will guide his administration, but has no education in the sciences. *A man who is proficient in reading what is written for him on a teleprompter, but jerks and stammers his way through any off-the-cuff speaking. *A man whose health records are sealed from childhood to the present day. *A man whose educational records are sealed from childhood through law school. *A man who spent 20 years in a church whose pastor espouses Marxist Liberation Theology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Semitism, but claims he never heard his pastor utter anti-American and anti-Semitic statements. *A man who added more to the National Debt in 100 days than all other Presidents did in the past 220 years, yet feels qualified to lecture Americans about “fiscal responsibility”. *A man who publicly expressed disdain for the U.S. Constitution on a Chicago radio station because it limited the government’s ability to “redistribute wealth.” *The first American President to bow before a foreign head of state -- a Muslim dictator. *A man who sits and listens submissively while his country is castigated by Daniel Ortega -- a Communist thug whose own daughter accused him of raping her. *A narcissist who gave the Queen of England a present from the United States -- an iPod containing recordings of his own speeches. *A man, who wanted Americans to ignore his Muslim name during his election campaign, yet boasts of his Muslim name when he travels to Muslim countries. *A man who can name hundreds of America’s shortcomings, yet none of its great accomplishments. *A President who claims the moral high ground by closing Gitmo yet supports the transfer of terror suspects to countries where horrific torture is certain. *A President who scoffed at being called a socialist yet acted to nationalize the auto industry, the banking industry, and the insurance industry . . . and now seeks to nationalize the healthcare industry. *A President who violates private property rights, the sanctity of contracts, and the rule of law -- three essential principles that go back over a thousand years in the Common Law tradition. *A man who promised 95%

the greatest debt ever by nationalizing healthcare. *A President who scoffs at being called a socialist, yet has appointed 28 “Czars” to circumvent constitutional government, including: A “Science Czar” who has advocated compulsory abortions for American women and the “surrender of sovereignty” to a “comprehensive Planetary Regime.”; A self-professed communist as his “Green Jobs Czar.”; A “Pay Czar” to regulate the pay of corporate executives. *A President who swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” yet has nominated a domestic enemy of the Constitution to the Supreme Court. *A President whose Homeland Security Chief classified pro-lifers, veterans, and supporters of traditional marriage as terrorists. *A President who stood silent while the Iranian government hacked unarmed protestors to death with axes, because it was an internal matter, but freely offers his opinions about the internal affairs of Israel and Honduras. *A President who decreed that true acts of terrorism must now be described as “man-made disasters.” *A President who cracks hurtful jokes about Special Olympians. *A President who refused to intercept or inspect a North Korean ship virtually certain to be carrying Weapons of Mass Destruction to Burma. *A President who wants to cancel all missile defenses while rogue nations are developing long-range ballistic missiles. *An American President who blames the violence in Mexico on America. *A Commander in Chief who claims to have been unaware that Air Force One was taken on a terrifying, low-level photo-op over Manhattan. *A President who berates American CEO’s for flying in private planes at private expense on company business, but whose wife spends hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars flying to Paris for a shopping spree. *A President who promised a transparent administration, but requires all questions be screened before “impromptu” appearances. *A man who freely admitted that his energy policies are designed to bankrupt the American coal industry. *A President who has presided over the loss of 14.7 million jobs and whose “energy policy” will cause the loss of another 1 million jobs. *A President whose “energy policy” will increase the average American’s utility bills by over $2,000 a year in the middle of the Great Recession. *A man about whom liberal journalist Tom Brokaw said, “There’s a lot about him we don’t know.” . . . just one week before the election. The vast majority of Americans do not know who he is, but someone surely does. Someone paid for his travel expenses to Pakistan and Indonesia. Someone engineered legal challenges to all of his election opponents for the State Senate of Illinios and had them disqualified. Someone straightened and leveled his path to the U.S. Senate when a Democrat Judge made public the child custody records of his Republican opponent. When he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate, someone arranged for him to speak at the 2004 Democrat National Convention. Someone saw to it that all of his records were sealed, both at home and abroad. Someone assembled the massive organization for his run for the Presidency. Someone knows all about him. Who? ]]>

<![CDATA[I'd like to take a minute to express my feelings about the latest email sent by another prominent official in TN. I've read quite a few responses online and unfortunately I'm not surprised by the reaction on either side of the new/old issue. On one side you have the typical so called right wingers. And on the other, the so called liberals. For those that don't know Walt Baker, the CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality Association. Sent an email that with a picture of Michelle Obama comparing her to a chimp. People on the right justify the email by saying GWB was compared to a chimp many times. In fact, they are right. And in my opinion. No matter what you thought of the president, it was wrong for people to be so mean spirited as to say that Bush was as dumb as a chimpanzee. Now, in the case of the email sent by Mr Baker. First, let me say the email in question as well as the unflattering pictures have been around a long time. In fact, the pictures have even been all over Craigslist. But, I have to ask myself. What kind of person would hate (or have so little respect for) somebody so much that they would demean a black woman in such a way. People on the right will say that we're not racist...it's only a political joke....or, I'm offended that you're offended. The bottom line; it's wrong, unchristian, and un-American People in this town will promote Nashville as a friendly welcoming place to live or visit. But, the fact of the matter is Nashville and the south in general is and will always be a safe haven for people with racist attitudes. The redneck good ole boys will continue to say stupid things and the people that listen to them will always find it acceptable. That's the way it is. Let me be clear. While there are many good people in this city and state. The fact that overt racism is so tolerable here. Tells me and any other person of good conscience that this is not a good place for me. I could go on and use the same old insults people use against the established good ole boys in the south. But then I'd be no better than Walt Baker or any other neoconservative right wing tea bagger. ]]>

<![CDATA[Detroit -- Just the Beginning By Frosty Wooldridge For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan . I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere! Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it and ignored it. Tens of thousands and then, hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing and food stamps! With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10 and in one case, one woman birthed 24 kids as reported by the Detroit Free Press-all on American taxpayer dollars. A new child meant a new car payment, new TV and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson's "Great Society" flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing. Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees. He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence and arrogance. As a black man, he said, "I am the BMIC." The IC meant 'in charge'. You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority Black city with 67 percent African-Americans. As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state. Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan, but most work in Detroit . As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in. As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife. Detroit may be one our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike and total separation from America . Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan, paid for by Saudi Arabia white; black" oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America . English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing. Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In this week's Time Magazine October 4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit : How a great city fell and how it can rise again," I choked on the writer's description of what happened. "If Detroit had been savaged by a hurricane and submerged by a ravenous flood, we'd know a lot more about it," said Daniel Okrent. "If drought and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we'd see it on the evening news every night. Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it - if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice. But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country. Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision-making." As Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit . "By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated Ne w Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit , the unemployment rate is 28.9%. That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent." At the end of Okrent's report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit , he said, "That's because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city's collapse. It's also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century. If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can't find a way to get up, what does that say about our future?" As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner's book, "$20 Per Gallon", the auto industry won't come backÃ¢Â€Â¦ Immigration will keep pouring more and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit - thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America . If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs. You have already seen it in Madrid , Spain ; London , England and Paris , France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying. Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country and way of life. I PRAY EVERYONE THAT READS THIS REALIZES THAT IF WE DONT ALL STAND UP AND SCREAM!!! AT WASHINGTON AND OUR CITY LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS AMERICA . IF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS AT ALL YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE AND SPAIN .... IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I'M SORRY, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND FIGHT. ]]>

<![CDATA[ With all due respect to what you remember, that's not what I remember. In 2007, when the democrats took controll of the house, I, and I assumed many other people, had lost all confidence in Bush to be honest with, and lead in favor of, the American people. The hope was to send a strong message to Bush that I/we were not happy. However, what I/we didn't realize at the time was that, due to the special powers of the president durring war time, I/we didn't limit Bush at all. He no longer needed the congress to approve many of his actions.Infact, it seemed to me that Bush sped up his dictorial tendencies as retaliation against America for giving the house to the democrats. It certainly seemed to me, from that point forward, that Bush did things more frequently than ever before that made me despise him. The main point that I am making is that congress, in 2007, had no more blame in the spending than Bush did. I prey for the day that America realizes that the democrats and republicans are both playing the American people, ( good cop, bad cop. ) When 1 party is in power there are always excuses to blame the other party for things not getting done, even when we Americans give all the power to just one party, ( like the democrats right now. ), they still can't get done what America wants done. In my opinion Bush was a complete disaster, in my opinion Obama is a complete disaster. I guess until we learn that you can't elect former wallstreet thugs, big bank/business/oil thugs, lawyer/law firm thugs, or multi millionaire thugs to have the best interest of the American people at heart, we should just expect to continue getting the same rape job of our civil liberties. I ask that you pray to your god, if you have one, with me that one day America will punish the candidates that spend the most on their campaign by giving their vote to the competitor. Such a small change could really begin to change the current trend of, "whoever has the most money wins." ]]>

<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_05/006282.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_05/006282.php</a> Did you know that Democratic presidents are better for the economy than Republicans? Sure you did. I pointed this out two years ago, back when my readership numbered in the dozens, and more recently Michael Kinsley ran the numbers in the LA Times and came to the same conclusion. The results are simple: Democratic presidents have consistently higher economic growth and consistently lower unemployment than Republican presidents. If you add in a time lag, you get the same result. If you eliminate the best and worst presidents, you get the same result. If you take a look at other economic indicators, you get the same result. There's just no way around it: Democratic administrations are better for the economy than Republican administrations. Skeptics offer two arguments: first, that presidents don't control the economy; second, that there are too few data points to draw any firm conclusions. Neither argument is convincing. It's true that presidents don't control the economy, but they do influence it — as everyone tacitly acknowledges by fighting like crazed banshees over every facet of fiscal policy ever offered up by a president. The second argument doesn't hold water either. The dataset that delivers these results now covers more than 50 years, 10 administrations, and half a dozen different measures. That's a fair amount of data, and the results are awesomely consistent: Democrats do better no matter what you measure, how you measure it, or how you fiddle with the data]]>

<![CDATA[ Below are some interesting facts about YOUR president and how he tries to blame President Bush for his problems in the economy. These aren't made up to run down YOUR president. These are actual proven open to the non-blinded public facts. MORE INTERESTING FACTS I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TAKING A HUGE UNDESERVED HIT.... A VERY RESPECTED POLL TAKEN THIS MORNING SHOWED THAT 78% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK THAT CONGRESS IS DOING A MISERABLE JOB...... THE PREAMBLE TO EVERY OBAMA SPEECH BEGINS WITH: "I INHERITED A MISERABLE ECONOMIC SITUATION FROM THE LAST ADMINISTRATION..."... SOMEBODY SHOULD POINT THESE FACTS OUT TO THE PRESIDENT.... ...for those who still want to lay it all on Bush...a little 'stroll down memory lane' with numbers.... "Inherited?" The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah blah blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense. I'll try a short civics lesson. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: <a href="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee204/mitchell0007/image001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee204/mitchell0007/image001.jpg</a> If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.]]>

<![CDATA[If Obama was a socialist we would have universal heathcare, nearly free education, very strict financial reform like they do in a majority of other countries, less war, better environmental regulation (not this bullshit cap and trade full of tons of loopholes), fairer tax system that doesn't benefit the richest 10% and last but not least we would be a happier and healthier people because we wouldn't be controlled masses doing the bidding for our corporate masters. YOu guys have no clue about what socialism is... you still relate it to Russia. I didn't vote for Obama (I voted 3rd party). His problem is he doesn't have the balls to push strong legislation. Most liberals don't like Obama because he is a corporate tool just like every president before him. I would say there is equal anger on all sides. But to keep repeating the mantra that Obama is a Maoist or Socialist is absolutely false... and it's quite offensive to the real Socialists out there. ~ Peace ~]]>

<![CDATA[That video is a farce! George W. Bush doubled the National Debt in his 8 yrs to just shy of $12 trillion. That doesn't include his 2 failed, ongoing, unpaid-for wars, or the 40% lost in the Bush Recession of 2008. Oh, and who cares if Obama inherited also, a $1.3 trillion deficit on day 1. This video is meant to distort the true size of the Bush Recession and Bush National Debt. Look at the real numbers folks. Not false comparisons, of a road trip, in linear equivalents. They aren't equivalent! Look at the amount of National Debt incurred under the 2 yrs of Reagan, the 1 yr of HWBush, and then GWBush's 2 yrs. OMG. It is gargantuan! They didn't call Reagan's fiscal policy VOODOO for no reason. The amount of debt by Reagan-Bush's is mind bending! Lastly, Obama inherited an economy in psuedo-Depression folks. And unheard of and incredible FAILURE by the Republican moron-Bush, to chuck this steaming pile of shit onto the next guy. Almost $8 trillion added by Bush alone, in debt and deficit to Obama. The entire financial sector frozen and not lending credit, with businesses failing, tens of millions out of work, layoffs, home bankruptcies, and unemployment at 7.3% and shooting like a rocket straight up. Thanks Dubya!!!]]>

<![CDATA[Rebutle of sorts . In all fairness not all Democrats drank the koolaid . In a great number of ways I would define myself as a Democrat based loosely on the definition as such . A Democratic Conspiracy Theorist lets say . I am an absolute believer in a free people . Whatever your life style choice , religious offiliation or political party . I may not agree with their system of beliefs as they pertain to any of them but I do support their right to have those beliefs . Freedom is as freedom does . If my neighbor isn't free I'm not free . As a citizen we are afforded protection under our Constitution and are morally obligated to support those protections under the Bill of rights . In that again using the most liberal interpretation of the definition of Democratic I would be a Democrat . Normally I would not defend Obama however we were not founded as a Christain nation , intentionally not founded as a Christian nation in fact . Though our founding fathers were Christian they opposed a religious based government as such would create an exclusionary society . So though this is an unpopular idea among the Christians of this nation it is what it is but I do agree using that as a selling point of our country isn't the way to go . Societies whose entire lives are based on their religion tend to steer clear of relationships with Godless ones , so to speak . As a conspiracy theorist I am not evern remotely shocked by the state of affairs in this country or in the world . Disappointed but not shocked . Our government is a game of smoke and mirrors . It isn't what they say , it isn't what we think and it isn't what we see . It is all a matter of perception . Republicans think a Republican will clean up the mess and Democrats think a Democrat will clean up the mess . Regardless of party the proverbial s**t is going to keep on hitting the fan , spraying all over the country and no one intends to clean it up . That being said we require a leader . We have broken it down to two parties and someone has to win and someone has to lose it is a matter of the lesser of two evils as it were . So as a Democrat who most certainly loves her country it was fairly obvious to me that Obama's popularity or rockstar status shall we say was far more dangerous to our citizenry than a Republican or even Miss Hillary . A Republican or Miss Hillary would have been more closely watched , scrutinized and accountable making us slightly safer to drastic measures taken by an enitirely too big government . Sadly people were far more concerned with out with the old in with new meaning death to Reublicans and hail to Democrats . Really it is understandable based on the previous eight years but misguided none the less . The mud slinging often times becomes insult to ones intelligence . As a Democrat I am accused of being brain dead etc . However this is not the case . Obama was a train wreck waiting to happen . The people of this country , far too many of them hopped aboard his change train for no other reason than he wasn't a Republican . Now in their defense as a conspiracy theorists they weren't privy to free thought that would have told them , he aint changing a thing he's just going to add a little something to the status quo . His foray into office was as subliminal as Bush's . Bush pounded the word "threat" into the minds of the people in every speech . Obama used "change" and no thought was necessary in either case because when you saw the face you heard the word and there ya go . Neither one qualified to be President but often is the case so you can't really blame them . I fully support the notion that Obama is out of control . His policies are offensive to our foundation , our way of life and our people . As it stands we are the victims of "idol worship" . He was loved and cheered as if he were the second coming , crazy side note I'm not certain he isn't the anti-Christ , when you follow a false prophet so to speak what we have is what you get . A full of crap , hand around your throat ,dragging you to hell in a hand basket , unqualified , non-citizen , unworthy , dangerous President . I'm a Democrat not a sheep and I wasn't following the herd off a cliff . You can't blame us all because we weren't all fooled . P.S. I wouldn't hold your breath on him going anywhere . That's not how it works . We the people are numbered tax dollars and have zero influence , zero powers and zero rights to do anything . He is where he was intended to be and he's going to stay right there . What you thought our government was is not what it is . We don't control the government they control us and for no other reason than we handed over that control and it is too late to take it back now . I have no doubt there are a whole lot of people standing around saying what did we do ? Thankfully I can say it wasn't me . ]]>

The belief is conspiracy theorists are paranoid nut cases who spend their time making something out of nothing . In truth there is a great deal of research and obvious conclusions made based on factual evidence that go into the support of such theories . Not until the last decade or so has the theory become reality in as much as it is clearly visible and yet the majority of the worlds population remains blind to it . We are far too easily manipulated by "their" ability to prey on our weaknesses as a society and our individual fears . Whether that be economical , environmental or physical worries . Our survival instincts serve as a breeding ground for their agenda . We have been conditioned to place our future and survival into the hands of our government as a matter of national security and individual safety . When the powers that be successfully create a world wide environment inwhich people are caught in a perpetual state of fear they create an environment inwhich these same people will hand themselves over to promises of protection and prosperity . This is nothing new , what is new is how qucikly and easily they have been able to push us toward the end of the means in the last thirty years or so without raising any red flags in the minds of the people . Some will surrender to their fear of physical harm (terrorists) , some will surrender to their fear of financial devestation and some will surrender to their fear of extinction , whatever the case may be they will surrender , have surrendered . We get caught up in the details rather than the big picture , caught up in our emotions and caught up in our belief systems as we remain quagmired in the details , brush strokes as it were we assist "them" in painting a big picture inwhich none of us are free but believe we have freedom . The greatest turning point was the Bush administration and the world events that occured during his time in office . 9/11 was the catalyst that paved the road to a shift in thinking that said I will give you my liberty if you give me safety . That old saying "give me liberty or give me death" went right out the window . Systematically our government transitioned us into fascism and we did not notice because we were hand fed fear . During Bush's time in office every characteristic of fascism was presented to us and received with open arms . The envelope was pushed to the edge and inside that envelope was Obama and his "change" . Caught up in the details .People were outraged , not by accident , and as a result the powers that be were able to usher in this man who would be our savior , so to speak . Here we are a fascist nation , this has not and will not "change" what will change is that we will be fascist with socialist under tones . Though we will be the two , the enventual will be one , One World Government . We are being tested and we are failing ourselves at every turn . Whether that be the continuation of wars inwhich we make no headway with the full support of our people and the people of the world . Whether that be a worldwide financial crisis in which we support bailouts that place the government in direct control of "our" money , our corporations or our healthcare system and whether that be "treaties" to protect our world environment . The biggest , yet seems the smallest , is the environmental . The proposed treaty in this years environmental summit layed out plans to create a world bank , governed by the U.N. funded by each nations ability to pay for the rights to pollute . I say rights but in fact we are assigned an acceptable amount of CO2 emissions . If we exceed this amount we are fined and or taxed . If we choose to exceed the amount assigned we must purchase incriments . We would also agree to contribute to this bank funds to pay for the poorer nations environmental issues . The rich nations financially support the poor all of this in plain sight and yet we chose to look no further than our fears and what we were told . All the while the U.N. would be in the positon of having economic control over every nation as a matter of protecting the environment but in fact it would be nothing more than worldwide socialism , a classless world . Once that is put in place it is easy to use this same system to stabilize the worlds ecomonies by creating one money system , banking system and equal trade system . One big happy family . Then what happens everyones dream "world peace" how ? If you want in on the wealth you have to play nice . We're all going to be friends and life will be good for all . All of this would be easy to accomplish because our fears make us willing . What is happening in our country is a test , a precurser for testing the world . If our own people are willing to hand our country over the people of the word will follow suit . We will be the success story. Think I'm crazy ? How does a President wind up in the white house after losing an election ? Manipulation of the system . How does a non-citizen , yes it is true at the time of Obamas birth the law made him a non-citizen ; wind up in the white house manipulation of the system as well as the red carpet the people rolled out for him out of the perceived and misguided notion there would be change . We were too easy and walked right into the lions den . Nothing you see happening has not been preplanned for you . The lines in the sand between left and right were drawn for you . Why ? Devide and conquer . As long as we fight eachother we don't fight them . One side supports fascism without knowing it and the other supports socialism without knowing it and together we support the power of the government over the power of the people to make us both . We all must step back and look at the big picture . Are we willing to sacrifice ourselves on the alter of our Constitution or do we grasp at the straws of " for our own good". It is time to assert the notion of "we the people" , to swallow our pride , to embrace our history and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder united in the fight for our Constitution , our country and our people . When is enough enough ? Look around enough is enough . In the end I'd rather be the guy saying I saw this coming but I couldn't stop it than the guy saying how could I have been so blind .]]>

<![CDATA[You can not be serious . . . We owe employers for having employees and for putting food in the mouths of said employees ? Everynight those employers sit down to dinner the food on the table is the food his/her employees put there . Those same employees contribute to their own Social Security , every paycheck and insurance , what employer pays an employees full premium , none if an employee is lucky a portion is paid by their employer who pays the rest , that employee . Where are the breaks for those upon whose backs that employer makes his/her money ? Every dollar a corporation doesn't have to pay in taxes is a dollar that corporations employees have to pay to make up the difference . The idea that the wealthiest of the wealthy should be afforded tax breaks because they have been so generous as to have employees is rediculous . Corporations aren't raking in cash hand over fist because they've been working so hard , all of that cash has been earned by the guy getting his hands dirty everyday and that employer isn't exactly throwing a fair portion of that cash at his/her employees every week in a paycheck . They pay as little as possible , provide the bare minimum in benefits and eliminate as many jobs as possible these days to improve their bottom line . Why should the employee making lets say $35,000 a year carry the greater tax burden than the guy who lets say makes $35,000,000 a year ? Sure corporations pay employees , but do you think what they pay is equivalent to what they earn in tax breaks ? Yes earn . Where do you think all that "don't have to pay in taxes" money goes ? To the employees ? No it goes in their bank accounts . The theory that tax breaks for corporations will create jobs only works in theory . It is all a matter of the bottom line and the bottom line gets alot higher when afforded tax breaks and they don't offset those breaks with generosity to their emploees or potential employees . What they do is maintain status quo . If I can run my company with a hundred employees why would I hire a hundred more , because I'm getting a tax break ? Hardly . I'm going to continue on with my hundred employees and carry those tax breaks all the way to the bank . As it stands corporations are riding the tide of tax breaks while their employees are drowning . There are far too many empty mouths these days and they're empty because corporations are gluttens . Rewarding coporations for cutting jobs , cutting benefits , cutting pay and moving operations overseas is reprehensible . We owe them nothing , they owe us . All of us . The economic state of this country is not the fault of the working man . It is the direct result of corporate greed and to suggest that they should be congratulated for this with tax breaks is outrageous . ]]>
