I’m sure that this article will not set well with some but the more I think about what is happening in this country the more I've had it with some of people in this country, and even more so with the politicians who enable them and who know better, but whose desire, lust and thirst for power surpasses and go beyond anything comparable to common decency. It's time for a reality check, for the truth and here it is: this is one American whose sick and tired of subsidizing (support financially by my tax dollars) people who are too lazy to take care of themselves, and who expect and wait for other people to pick up the tab. People who would not work in a pie shop eating pies. Spare me excuses. I don't want to hear about "social justice," "victimization," discrimination,” or " unfair treatment " when they are nothing more than excuses that allow some people to live in this country on the back of working Americans while contributing practically nothing towards their own upkeep. There's a huge difference between the truly helpless and the truly lazy deadbeats, and I've had it with the politicians who make little or no distinction between the two groups. I don't care what these political prostitutes, who sell their selves, to get elected say or tell you, there's no such thing as "free" anything. There is nothing that is on the house and the fact that some think there is or don't give a darn because they are not paying for it, is a demonstration and verification to both their deceit and their lack of honesty. But then the deadbeats already know that and they are OK with it, as long as the government program or policy keeps delivering the goods and the check. The elected officials are okay with it as long as they get the deadbeats votes. This is not helping the people who truly need help. That is giving the ones that truly need help less. Now we have a government who wants to spread the wealth around. These means, in no uncertain terms, that more will be put on the backs of working Americans to dole out for people who can make a buck or two their own selves but would rather have it handed over to them. There was a time in this country when most people were ashamed to go on the dole and ask for any kind of government help, except as a last resort. There was also a time when most people accepted responsibility and blame for their own behavior, or felt bad doing something wrong when they knew it was wrong. But that was before secular "progressives" made it fashionable to believe religion-based moral codes were " out-of-date, not for today'" and that everyone was entitled to modify and custom fit their morality, their principles, their ethics and decency in accordance with "personal preferences." Where has the integrity, honor, and veracity of some people gone? Once such moral uncertainty gathered momentum, the legal profession and the therapeutic community were more than willing to jump on the bandwagon. For the former, "right and wrong" became "legal and illegal." For the latter, "well and unwell." Shame? Dead as the proverbial doornail. Its replacement? Self-rationalization and excuse-making. Who do these people think they are kidding? Not the American people who bust their butts every day to make ends meet. Not the people who try to do the right thing, just because it's right. A lot of them have been beaten into submission by our political class and some of our elected officials for whom nothing is more important than making decent people feel bad for not being "compassionate" enough. Well no more. I'm calling them out. All these politicians know the road to permanent and unending power is paved by buying the dead beats off. They are nothing more than blood-suckers, and it's long past time someone told them so. What good are they really doing our Country? I’m afraid more harm than good! All the decent working Americans who have been carrying the deadbeats for decades has had enough. Their self-righteous indignation and resentment is wearing exceedingly thin, and you may have noticed that the decent, law-abiding, hard-working Americans that are still the majority of people in this country are beginning to wake up. These are the very same folks who bend over backwards, time and time again, to help people in need and will still help the people who are, truly, in need but you deadbeats will have to do the same as all the rest of us do – WORK!

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can show what our attitude, as Americans, should be toward fanaticism. "Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Soon they not only controlled us, they also owned us. Our banks, what was taught in schools, our businesses, our government, our hospitals, They controlled every part of our life.” Then, before we knew it, they owned everything we had, and we owned nothing. We had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories." It was almost like being told when to get up and when to go to bed, like you were a child. We were not allowed to own firearms, Nazis’ controlled the doctors, hospitals, news papers, and all businesses. They controlled every part of our lives. We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant to what is happening in the world today. It is worthless and hollow talk , meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish our worries about the band of fanatics rampaging across the world in the name of Islam. It is called being deceived! The true fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically and methodically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers. The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the "silent majority," is cowed, intimidated, scared, or else unconnected to the problem. They think that it is not pertinent to them. How foolish. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority was irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving"? History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant and neither here nor there by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. Are you getting the point. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts: the fanatics who threaten our way of life. Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is not real is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and reach out to all free people before it is too late. Send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, worldwide, will stand up and not be silent before it's too late. And remember, the first thing the fanatics will do to the silent majority is to disarm them.

I just read the article in the Salisbury Times about their Gang problem. It was a very interesting article. Even though it was a very good and well written article she is behind times, because so many people in the Salisbury area have been commenting on this very subject in the paper for years. That is the way it is, the voice of the common folks are mostly never heard. It is a shame when gangs (who you know are armed) roam Salisbury and honest people have no way of defending their self because of federal and state gun control laws that are really worthless. Honest people are at the mercy of the bad guy and guess what, the bad guy knows this. The problem of gun control and gangs, home invasions, murder, and robbery will soon get much worse. The lawless people will have guns and the honest people will have none. You cannot count on the police because even though they do a good job this problem will soon over whelm them. They are only so many police officers. How are we to defend ourselves? The honest citizen will soon not be allowed to own a firearm, if Obama and Holder get their way, let alone be allowed to carry one. In some towns and states in this country it is legal to carry fire arms and in those states crime is way down. I wonder why. We do not need such as in the old wild west days but we do need to be safe in our homes and walking down the street. What good is the courts? 80% of the time they slap the criminals on the wrist instead of bringing the full weight of the law down on then.

The real news is that as the things in this world get worse, so will the gangs. You may laugh but the problems of this world have steadily got worse. There are parts of certain cities, across this nation, that police will not even go unless they go in force. Who is protecting the citizen in these areas? And now we have a federal government who wants to dismantle our country piece by piece. The gang problem, in Salisbury or anywhere else in this country, will not get any better until the borders are sealed and the flow of illegal people are stopped. We do not need to stop Mexico's drug war for them. We have our own problems and Mexico is the cause of a lot of them. We can blame the gang problem on whatever we want but it will not get any better until the citizens unite and demand a change. Not Obama's kind of change, but a change of our values and how things are done to keep the honest person safe. Everything is done for the criminal in this country and the honest man is screwed most of the time. Until we change the soft laws we have on crime and do away with gun control laws, that are useless, these problems will not stop but get worse. You may say the courts are overcrowded and they are, but why? They are overcrowded because of so many repeat offenders who will break the law over and over again because they know for the most part our court systems are a joke. For the most part it is not the judges and court officials but it is the rules and guidelines that they have to go by. These guide lines are made up and passed by people that we have elected to government. These people not only tie your hands they even tie the hands of law enforcement with some of their silly laws.

I do not want to sound like a prophet of doom and gloom, but we have not seen nothing yet. As if the crimes in this country are not getting worse we have a federal government that wants to give the enemy terrorist their rights when they are captured. How stupid! Who knows what laws that are in effect that would land you in jail for shooting someone who breaks into your home. We have some twisted laws that are just plain out and out foolish. I live in the country and anytime that I have called the police their response time has always been at least fifteen minutes. By that time a person could be seriously hurt or killed by a intruder. It is not the police officers fault there is only so many of them to cover a large area. So the question is do you just stand there and let the intruder do what they want or run to another room until the police come,  as most of the government law makers will tell you to do, or do you defend and protect yourself? If someone tries to break in my house, if Bruce (my dog) does not get them my shotgun will. Let me give you a short story, that I once read over the internet, and you tell me which one you are! 

 Picture yourself walking down the street with your family one night and a terrorist or a gang member came out of the shadows with intentions to rob you and do you and your family bodily harm. Which of the following three are you? (1) A LIBERAL sees the bad guy coming with his weapon drawn and he begins to question himself if there is enough lighting in the area, is there some way that I could reason with him, we need new gun laws, maybe if we run some of us could get away, do I have time to call the police? (2) A CONSERVATIVE sees the bad guy coming and he pulls out a handgun and starts to think, will I get in trouble if I shoot him, if I go to jail, for shooting this bad guy, will my family be okay? Who will take care of them with me in jail?(3) THE ONE THAT CLING TO HIS BIBLE AND GUNS sees the guy coming pulls out his Glock 45 and then you hear BANG! BANG! BANG! over and over again, then a empty clip hitting the ground. The family is safe and wait for the police to arrive. No more bad guy.

Sad to say some reading this will say that that is a dangerous and bad story but I would say this to you: In times past when most people, in this country, were like the number three guy in the above story there was a lot less crime in this country and it was basically safe to walk our streets. As this nation gets more and more violent all Americans need to know how to protect their self. Let the empty clip fall to the ground instead of you. Let the criminal know and understand that crime never pays and let him know that you will defend you and your family. 

Imagine how our Founding Fathers would react if they saw what has become of this once great Nation. Actually, perhaps most Americans already suspect what that reaction would be from those brave, conservative, God-fearing Founding Fathers. Little doubt, it would be the same as it was when they decided to take a stand for independence the first time around. Obama is destroying our country by removing essential parts of it that has made this country great. America has elected and is consequently stuck with a President that has never accomplished anything of significance that would merit the highest office in her great land. In Addition, this person America now calls their President stands 180 degrees in opposition with every other US President holding office prior to his inauguration (regardless of party affiliation). America has experienced the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression and President Obama's answer is to give a speech to manipulate Americans into believing bigger government is the answer to everyone's problems. Regardless of political affiliation, Americans of all races, ages and sexes are starting to wake up and see that Obama and his administration has and continues do away with our Lady Liberty. In a recent speech to the American people (or for those disconnected few still listening to this president's drivel), Obama sounded more like a starving baby in search of a bottle, or one needing it's diaper changed, than a man supposedly having the most powerful position on earth. People are finally waking up to his fake transparency and are standing up for their rights and for this they are called many things and none of them good. However I must remind the reader that he kept his promise to change America. We are fast going away from the America that we once knew and grew up in. Some of the things that he has done already are mind boggling and beyond all comprehension. If there was ever a time when the sense of smell oozed from the television and filled the living rooms and homes across this nation, it was during Obama's infamous "It's Not About Me" speech. The problem with him is it is all about him. A little over six months ago America's economy was not good; however, as bad as it was then, it was nothing compared to how bad the US economy is presently. And for that matter, if Obama continues to get his way, America has yet to see just how bad her country's economy will suffer, but not only the economy but our freedoms also. It goes beyond all belief that a paid government official, (a bureaucrat) who was not even confirmed by the Senate but just one of the many "czars" selected and put into place by Obama, could at a whim just cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? No up or down vote by congress, it was just done. Who would ever believe that this would happen in America. Did you know that a Obama appointed czar wants to restrict and limit talk radio? They want to do this to keep the talk within their fixed limitations. Obama and his czars also have plans to subsidize and fund newspapers. This means that Obama and his czars want to make a situation where the newspapers' existence would depend on the government saying it is okay what they write? Did you ever think that anyone would even be talking about having a group who would make a decision who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments? Chilling as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of our freedom. If you have a parent who needs a major operation or a child with some grim medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the authority to make life and death decisions about your loved ones? Does any of this sound like America that you grew up in? How about a government organization giving your children and other children information to enroll them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is clearly not enough. Are we headed for trouble? This not the country that we grow up in and our soldiers bleed and died for. At the rate we are going Americans can kiss their freedoms good bye. How much of our freedom will be left if Obama is allowed to continue on this path? There will be none! Our lack of liberty and choice will be gone. Obama already wants a national police force. Why would he want this? We already have local police forces in most towns and cities. We have military forces for the defense of our country. We also have the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard is located in every state of this union for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him and answerable only to him? It seems more like the brown shirts and the Gestapo in world war two Germany than like anything we have in this country. What would be the reason for this? How far Obama will go depends on how much resistance and opposition he encounter as he tries to do these things. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or speech-making. Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to "change the United States of America," the people he has been associated with and next to for years have expressed in words and deeds their opposition to the values, the principles and the main beliefs of this country. Jeremiah Wright said it, over national TV with these words: "God damn America!" Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he put in government buildings and just recently said he did not do enough. This is Obama's friend. Obama's Community activist buddies have said it with their contempt and dislike for the constitutional rights of other people, for example the 2nd amendment. Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao and Castro. Some have accused Bush of being behind the tragedy of Twin towers on 911. For those of you who say that the Obama should have looked into those people's back ground more carefully and in more detail before he appointed them are not seeing who Obama really is and are totally missing the point. Why should anybody think that Obama didn't know what these people were like, when he has been associating with these kinds of people for ten or twenty years before he moved into the White House? Nothing is more like a roadmap than Obama's consistent lifetime patterns than putting such people in government, people who reject and hate American values, resent Americans in general and Americans who are successful in particular, as well as resenting America's influence and power in the world. Any blunder or boo-boo about this on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these cunning appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel and people like Glen Beck, Bill O'Reily, and Sean Hannity these cunning appointees might have never been known for what they are until it was too late. This is one of the reasons Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list. The cat is out of the bag. Nothing so exemplifies Obama's own contempt and disrespect for American values and traditions than apologizing to other nations for the United States. Most folks, in this country are starting to wake up to ask: "Where is the transparency he promised. They are beginning to see that he is taking away everyone of our freedoms, one by one. We have let the Trojan horse in. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled and taken apart, disassembled piece by piece, and given to the Muslim terrorist is another question, and it is, by far, the biggest question for this generation of Americans. For what they are, if Obama's skills and experience as President could be transferred to that of a surgeon, how many of his followers, if they needed surgery, would willing go under his knife? Will there be a America left after his four years?

Here a little and there a little we are losing our freedoms in this country and most Americans cannot even see it. They just go with the flow. Our Founding Fathers recognized and knew that the armed common folk was the greatest and most effective means of defense against an oppressive government, which explains why most liberal Democrats have been trying to do away with the Second Amendment for years. To do away with a free people’s firearms is instant people control. They are no longer free. History proves that. As the United States spirals toward a one world government we are losing our means of defending that 2nd amendment more every day. We are so close to a one world government that it could happen in the very near future. Obama has czars that want a one world government, so you know what they are working for, unrestrained, answering only to Obama. We now have a president who will give this nation away in a heartbeat and even though he will not admit it he is not for gun ownership. What he is for, is total control over everything. We do not need or want a dictator (someone who wants to be in total control) or a dictatorial government that rules over everybody and everything. A government ruling with absolute power over a population has always presented the greatest danger to the citizens of any nation, Our Freedoms that was put forth in the Declaration that come from God have always been despised and hated by evil and ignorant men. I can think of no other time in our nation’s history when our God given rights and freedoms have been endangered by a list of statistics and worthless gun control laws, as well as other worthless laws, by liberal politicians, communist, and socialist, who hate every building block upon which our nation rests. We have people that have been elected to our government at all levels that hate this country and would tear it down if they could. And if they need help in doing it the Obama appointed Czars will help in tearing it down. We have a president and a attorney general who are one hundred per cent behind gun control and other laws that take away your freedom. What is the real purpose of gun control? The government would have you to believe it is to prevent crime and for the peoples best interest. The states and cities in this country that have the most strictest gun laws, that is where crime is the highest. For example, Washington, DC and Chicago. The government is using gun control laws to do what they want. It is for people control. Gun registration allows the government to know that you own guns, what kind they are and where you live. THAT INFORMATION should be none of their business. Most of the present gun laws are not to keep the citizen safe even though that is what they would have you to believe. These laws were made to lay the ground work for the government to knock at your door and taking every gun that you have and it will come to that very thing in the near future. Keep an eye on the development of the Obama Civilian Security Force (what was once known as the "Gestapo" a little over 60 years ago in a country called Germany). He said this security force would only be answerable to him. When these people start showing up, it'll will be all over. You will have to turn over your fire arms because it will be the law. The new Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic (within the United States) FBI Operations authorize the FBI without going to a court to open a investigation and to give an assessment of any American without any exact information based on fact to open that investigation. Such 'assessments' allow the use of invasive practices to secretly and underhandedly collect information on people suspected of no wrongdoing and in no way are connected with any foreign entity. What is happening here is the total loss of our freedom. Obama has expressed no objections to these far-reaching revisions of the Constitution in a founding document he used to educate students about it at the University of Chicago. His attorney general, Eric Holder, said during his Senate confirmation hearing: "The guidelines are necessary because the FBI is changing its mission from a pure investigating agency to one that deals with national security." This the same Eric Holder who said, while George W. Bush was president: "I never thought that I would see the day when a president would act in direct defiance of federal law by authorizing warrantless NSA (National Security Agency) surveillance of American citizens." Obama now has a unrestrained FBI and it will get even worse if he is allowed to start his national security force. The Second Amendment was designed as a way for the people to maintain their freedom by giving them the tools to resist repressive government. Doing away with or changing the 2nd amendment will be the cause of all our other rights to be taken from us. Gun ownership (the right to bear arms) was never about hunting or stopping a burglar even though they are certainly a great benefit of gun ownership and always will be. The greatest danger to life and our freedoms in this world is government. That has always been the case. Down through the years it has always been that way. For examples look at Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia and on and on. Now we are seeing the same thing in this country. I think that it is now being called: “CHANGE”. And that change is from a capitalist form of government to a communist form of government. Making sure the government knows the population is fully capable of resisting goes a long way toward keeping that government on the right track. There is always a cost for freedom. The price is always high. Being unwilling to accept the cost guarantees the loss of freedom. A dictator or a dictatorial government has always presented the greatest danger to the citizens of any country including ours, Our Freedoms listed in the Declaration that come from God have always been despised by evil and ignorant men. I can think of no other time in our nation’s history when our God given rights and freedoms are being endangered by a list of laws made mostly by people who hate every building block and joint upon which our nation rests than this present time in our history. Our country is at a cross road and all conservatives, gun owners, and people who believe in our Constitution (as the founding fathers laid it out) need to stand up and be counted. The weapons of these people are deception, dishonesty, deceitfulness, confusion, a “in the tank” news media, just plain outright lies, and the power of government itself. These weapons are far more dangerous to our country than the fire arms that law abiding citizens own. If you are a gun owner you must realize that gun control is not the only freedom issue we have in this country. There is a list of issues that need to be spoken about. Government takeover of banks, lending institutions, the takeover of private business, the automobile industry, and health care, the taking of your hard earned money and spreading it around, and this is only the start. Appointing czars that are not answerable to you, the American citizen, as to how they run the country. That was not how our country is founded. Some of these Czars are proven communist and socialist. Here a little and there a little we are heading to a government that will have 100% control over every aspect of your life. Our freedoms and way of life as Americans are under attack and soon will be gone” HEAR A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE” May God have mercy on our nation and open the eyes of more and more of its people to rise up against the vile and deliberate attempts to erode our freedoms, to take the creator out of things, and turn our nation into a communist slave state. Laugh if you want but that is what is happening right before your eyes AMERICA. Do you have the same amount of freedom that you had twenty years ago, ten years ago, or even five years ago? The answer is no! Is the government bigger or smaller than it was ten years ago? We all know it is bigger! If the Constitution does not mean EXACTLY what it says, according to the plain meaning of the words as understood at the time it was written, (and it does) then there is no point to having a written constitution at all. What good is it. Our form of government was formed the way it was to have checks and balances so no certain branch of government could not have it all and become a threat to the common folk of this country. But look what is happening before your very eyes, the supreme court is now in the business of trying to make laws instead of interpreting the law, the congress do not care about or will listen to the citizens. All they want is their liberal agenda passed and their ear marks attached to bills that are passed, Then we have a president that wants TOTAL CONTROL over everything, even a police officer doing his job. It is time not only for gun owners to take heed but for all true Americans to do the same thing. You need to ask yourself this question: “IS THIS THE AMERICA THAT I GREW UP IN?”

Ever since I was a young man I always looked forward to reading the newspapers and watching the news on TV. I always wanted to know what was happening in the world and especially this country. I was always taught at home and in school that one of the greatest rights of a free nation is the Freedom of Speech and a Free Press. From the very beginning of our country, and through its chaotic history, a free press has always been there to give us the news and supply us with the information that we needed to make up our minds concerning the problem of the day. But now I see (as most people can) that the news outlets whether they be the newspaper, TV, radio, or magazine, no longer have a goal of showing us both sides of the issues facing this country. They no longer want to report the news in a manner that we, the people, can decide our own selves on the right choices, but they want to create news according to their own personal bias and they are being very unfair when they report it. They want the reader to have a foregone conclusion of what is right, even though it is not right. What is wrong with that picture? Let's look at just one case in point. Do you remember the "Tea Parties" held across the nation. At the same time as Fox News and the Wall Street Journal reported on these events, the other major news sources either disregarded them or reported on them as if the tea parties were a bunch of right wing, anti-government anti-tax people who were really bunch of eccentric nut cases. As I watched the CNN coverage of the Chicago tea party by a CNN reporter Susan Roesgan, I was a witness to the deceit and partiality and unfairness of that news network. It was so plain! We have to come to the overall conclusion that the American news media extremely dislike and detest conservative and Christian America. They get satisfaction and enjoyment in mocking and criticize the conservatives because we are Pro-Life, and Pro-Gun. They also liken those of us who are against illegal immigration to the Klu Klux Klan and Adolf Hitler! If you do not go along with Obama's agenda then you are a racist! Every reporter at major news outlets such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, are so liberal that it goes against all description! We can also add the TV news reporters of ABC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC! Most of the reporters that work for these stations are so bias when they report to the American Public that it comes close to being disgusting and it shows total disregard for the rights of others. Most all of these were great news papers at one time but they have lost it all because of their bias liberal reporting. The fact of the matter is that we can no longer believe what we read or hear on the news. So how can we make the right decision when it comes to issues of the day? I no longer watch a lot of TV news, like I use to because I have better things to do than listen to a bunch of bias reporters that cannot and will not tell the truth. When I do watch the news it is Fox News, because, as they claim, they are fair and balanced. Most of the time you will hear both sides of the story. When the millions of people, in this country no longer want to be a informed citizen and no longer want to know or hear the truth, but only want to hear what they are told, then that is how you get the government we have today. That is how (as Obama calls it) we get the change we have today in our government.

I have read two different articles about the war in Afghanistan and in the last couple of days I have read some pretty disturbing things. I do not believe, what I’m about to comment on, was really reported because of our liberal news reporters that report only what they want you to hear. I do not know how it slipped through the cracks. During a recent battle in Afghanistan the United States commanders, quoted and referred to new rules of engagement to stop civilian casualties, in which they rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near any village." I bet you my last dollar that this was not the first time that it happened and it was totally ignored by the news papers and therefore went totally unnoticed by the American public. But this time there was someone to witness it, who had the doodads to write it down and publish it. I’m referring to the deaths of four United States soldiers that were killed by the rules of engagement they have to use when fighting the enemy. They are the new rules of engagement. This incident took place last Tuesday in an ambush, by Muslim terrorist, against Afghan forces and their U.S. trainers around the village of Ganjgal. There was a journalist whose name is Jonathan S. Landay of McClatchy Newspapers who was there and lived through the deadly firefight to write the following:

Specifically, the deaths of four U.S. Marines seemingly by the new rules of engagement (ROE) in Afghanistan. They the "U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near the village." 

What Landay describes and tells sounds like a terrible demonstration of what Afghanistan commander Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal talked about all summer and what many other people have called our war on civilian casualties. It is being waged, as thinking goes, to win Afghan "hearts and minds" and thus the "counterinsurgency" against the Taliban. Forget about the lives of our brave soldiers. McChrystal and this strategy currently have the over whelming support of both Obama and the Left wingers, who, with the help of a new conservative think tank, the Foreign Policy Initiative, recently wrote an open letter to President Obama specifically congratulated the president for choosing the McChrystal team, and put across confidence in its new strategy. According to their thinking protecting the Afghan people from, “Everything that can hurt them”, will not only make the people like us, but they will help us. (Please who are they kidding) These people think that this kind of thinking will upset and stop the jihad that is being waged against people who do not believe the Muslim religion. But what this policy is really doing is increasing the dangers for our troops that have been sent in harm’s way. Here is a statement that McChrystal made to the BBC: "It's a balance for the young soldier on the ground who is in combat. One of the assets that he has that mightsave his life, might be air power or indirect fire from artillery or mortars and we don't want to take away that protection for him."Now that to me is talking out of both sides of your mouth. The suggestion that our troops might be called on to think twice about saving their own lives was, to me, bone chilling. And more than ever after what happened this week is less soldier-on-the-ground uncertainty than commander-at-the-base wanting to pacify the Afghan Muslims. Here is what Landay's account said about this:

 U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near the village."

In other words, McChrystal's soldiers on the ground wanted protection to save their lives and didn't get it. Now explain that!This should be a national disgrace. A NATO-led investigation is under way into the incident, which on its face appears to be a natural result of the "hearts and minds" policy endorsed by Left and Right alike. As McChrystal put it last month: "We're here to protect the Afghan people. And we're here to protect them from everything that can hurt them, both enemy activity but also inadvertent activity by Afghan forces or ours. So we're trying to build into the philosophy of our forces a incredible sensitivity and understanding that everything they may do must be balanced against the possibility of hurting anyone." That is anyone but our own!

Our arm forces have come a long way since World War Two. I read in an article wrote by Diana West were she quoted a statement from General Patton which were repeated in the Movie “Patton “by George C. Scott. This is what Patton said: "I want you to remember that no b**tard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb b**tard die for his country." Today, our generals have something else in mind as we can see when McChrystal says: "The Afghan people are the reason we're here." I might be dumb as a stick like some of you liberals think that I am But I thought the reason we were in that country was to destroy the Taliban and their network of terrorism. If that is not the case then why are we there? Why are our young men dying every day, over there serving their country.According to McClatchey's report this week, there is a troubling and disturbing suspicion that the Afghan people, local villagers and even security personnel, were behind the Ganjgal ambush in the first place. Now what is wrong with this picture? Why are our young men and women fighting and dying in a war that they cannot win (BECAUSE OF THIS REASON ONLY) their hands are being tied by politicians and generals who want to be politically correct.

There will be some who read this article who will not agree with me but you do not take a big stick to a gun fight and expect to win. You bring a bigger gun and then you are not afraid to use it. Will this war against terrorist be won in Washington by people who want to be politically correct or will it be won by soldiers who hands are untied and given the order to get it done? 

Since President Obama was elected, he has appointed at least 34 supposed "czars" to supervise and take charge of a lot of governmental responsibilities. These czars have been described as "super aides" (really super aids) that work across agency lines to move forward and set in motion the President's agendas and programs for different things that he wants. I thought that was what people were elected to congress for. CBS News (not one of my favorite places to get fair and balance news) says that these czars "report directly to Mr. Obama and have the power to shape national policy on their subject area." This means they bypass the congress and the American people. The very future of this country is being shaped by people who were not elected or confirmed by congress. This should be scary to the reader! What about congress and the American people? Where do they come in during the Obama years?The lines defining the limitations of the czars' power are unclear, even to many in Congress. Let me give you one example that I found, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine said:"Who's in charge of health care? Is it the Secretary of Health and Human Services?(a person who was confirmed by congress) Or is the White House czar ( a person who was appointed by Obama and is answerable only to him)? Who is in charge of environmental and energy issues?" that is a good question and it needs an answer. Who is really in charge of this country? Is it the elected officials or is it Obama and his czars? Czars do not need or require Congressional approval. {amazing} With most of this so called czars there are no confirmation hearings, no up or down votes, for this reason the czars are insulated and protected from accountability and for anything they do, from Congress and the American People. Did our fore fathers want this when they framed the constitution. Most Americans are very critical of these czars and have the view that such an arrangement (I would rather call it a pack) threatens to increase the power of the President (who by the way appoints these czars) beyond what is Constitutionally mandated. Read what Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, and he is just one of many, has said about the Obama Czar system: "It can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances … As presidential assistants and advisers, these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, or to virtually anyone but the president. They rarely testify before congressional committees, and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege." A question that I would like to ask is this: "Where are the checks and balances with these czars". Obama promised "change" and we are sure getting that! What did Obama say, just before the elections, about being 5 days away from "fundamentally transforming America"..... I guess he was right, because he sure is doing that. Why are there so many communists and Marxists in the Obama Administration? Who are these people? Whose paying them? Why are there so many empty posts in the Administration, that was put into place by congress, and why do we have all these un-vetted people advising our President? Why does the Administration not want the FBI to check and investigate people anymore? These are questions that have to be answered. Some who read this will say that I'm a whack job, a racist, a wing nut, but when you stop and think about it, am I? Just investigate the background of some of these czars yourself using reliable web sites and you will see the same shocking things as I did. Just read these few things that I found and then search for yourself. Some of these czars believe or have openly stated that: {1} The United States was responsible for the twin towers attack on 911, {2} Illegal's have just as much right in this country as citizens, {3} Most of them have Marxist views or socialist views, {4} some believe that the constitution should be updated, and {4} there is a lot more that you can read from reliable sources. This is the change we got when Obama and his socialist views and crowd was elected to the highest office in our land. We have not only the right to ask who these people are, but, since it is our government and our country, We have the responsibility to know who they are and what they are doing. Not only do we have these czars, that are accountable only to Obama, we also have no checks and balances in our government and to me that is very scary. We now have the most liberal President, liberal congress, and liberal Supreme Court ever. In other words there is really no way to stop their liberal agenda and one again that is scary! Make no mistake, Obama knows exactly what he is doing. This is a first-rate power grab by a power-hungry President. (don't take that lightly). You see the great thing about czars, as I have already said and feel that I must say again) is that they operate with impunity and they are "under the radar" when it comes to making policy. No one knows what they are doing until it is done. They are accountable to nobody, except the administration. So in effect we have NON-ELECTED officials, who are backed by The White House, who are given the tools and resources to do the bidding of the President and they are accountable to NO ONE! These czars don't have to undergo Senate Confirmation Hearings, they just get appointed by Obama. What is happening here? It seems to me that Obama is creating an alternative to the constitutionally sanctioned government administrators. This, in and of itself, creates an alternative, in other words another government which is responsible to reporting ONLY to Obama. That, folks, is what happens before someone illegally takes over a country. Read your history books. Laugh if you want and call me a nut if you want. They began to deliver the goods and promises to the masses while the legitimate government is floundering..... and then, BINGO OVER NIGHT, the alternative government supplants legitimate authority. With some key changes, making them more accountable to We The People, we can bring back what Congress is suppose to be. I learned something interesting recently. The word CZAR is actually the Russian word for Caesar. It also means emperor.

That was quick. The "YES WE CAN" and "CHANGE" that covered and washed over this country in the beginning months of Barack Husain Obama's presidency are giving way to bleak realities. The greater part of the voters in this country now are beginning to see how Obama's campaign tactics and his early months in office as being completely wrong for this country. An Associated Press Poll shows that a majority of Americans are back to thinking that the country is headed in the wrong direction after a fleeting period in which more people thought it was going in the right direction Obama still has a 55 percent approval rating, but there are increasing uncertainties about whether he can accomplish some things that he wants to do. And there is a growing implications that he is heading this country for socialism and that he wants to do away with what has made our nation strong. People do not want government control over every part of their life. They already have enough of that. We do life in a communist country. We are a free people. The amount of people who think Obama can improve the economy is down a whopping 19 percentage points from the exhilarated and ecstatic days just before his inauguration. Forget about the prospect of creating new jobs. Also down considerably: the portion of people who think he can reduce the deficit, take our troops from Iraq and improve respect for the U.S. around the world, all slipping 15 percentage points. You cannot get respect from other nations by apologizing all the time. You cannot reduce the deficit adding trillions of dollars to it. A stimulus package with millions of dollars of pork in it is not what the American people want either. His big issue of reforming heath care to Obama care is losing ground not only with the American people but with capitol hill also. Some of the blue dogs {Democrats}are not going along with him on his health care proposal and no longer are his lap dogs. They are starting to think for their self. Does all this mean Obama has lost his "yes we can" charm? Has "yes-we-can" changed and transformed into a maybe? Criticism is not only coming from his political opponents, but now it is coming from a ever increasing number of Americans, some of which, just four months ago thought that Obama could do no wrong. Some even thought that he was the messiah. In Obama's case, the problems he's confronting domestically and internationally are great, and his ability to blame them on his predecessor is vanishing. There are still challenges and questions that proliferate and are growing on how to do the right thing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unemployment, was at 7.6 percent in January, and it hit 9.5 percent in June and is predicted to keep growing higher into next year. The outrageous {pork} stimulus package was suppose to stop that growing number but it has not done it. Almost four percent of homeowners with mortgages are in foreclosure, and an also another eight percent are at least a month behind on payments. This is the highest levels since the Great Depression. It's all taking a toll on outlook and hope for the country. The number of people who think it's practical and reasonable to expect at least some visible improvement in the economy during Obama's first year in office fell from 27 percent in January to 16 percent in the latest survey. There's been a falling away, as well, in how people view the president personally. About two-thirds of Americans now think he understands the problems of everyday Americans, that is down from 81 percent in January. Now that most people has a clear view of Obama as not being the savior and seeing where he is coming from more and more are telling him to keep his change and they will keep their money.

We have read several articles of how good the Government health care system would be for all Americans. I have read several articles from newspapers and TV news programs, some local by the way, with them giving their spin on how good this government run health care program would be. The problem is they are not giving you all the facts. If you read the whole proposed package then you will be shocked as I was. There is no way that this could possibly be in the best plan for the American people as the news reports. Please get a copy of this Proposed government health insurance and decide for yourself if this is what the country needs. I have listed below some of the things that really bother me and there is much more. Government does not need to have control over your personal needs. This is control pure and simple. I clearly get from what I read that the federal government will be in complete control of your health care. Don't listen to what you hear read it for yourself.

The House of Representatives has now just passed the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade carbon emissions control act. If it passes the Senate, the bill’s pusher-in-chief (OBAMA) will sign it real fast. I have not read the bill, so I should not put my two cents in. But then, neither has any congressman read the now 1000-pages and more of this great amazing thing. So why have they passed it. For this reason alone I want to put my two cents worth in. The house has just passed a bill not knowing all of it and most likely not even half of it. We are not to imagine things, but we are to believe it is a good bill because we must trust the congressional assistants who wrote it. If anything it is a demonstration to “the power of believing anything” and the “Yes we can” dogma of Obama It is the eagerness to pass a bill that has not been read, much less understood. The congress reminds me of the rats following the pied piper, Obama is the piper and the congress is the rats. Most people will believe anything and then later they will have to pay the price. The price will be more taxes and a tight-ing of government controls. Doesn’t the government have enough control over our lives? There is one thing that is certain: The cap-and-trade program will increase the cost of energy in the United States. We are already paying through the nose for everything that we as a consumer buy. It is for the most part a huge tax increase on businesses and consumers, in the face of which, businesses will slow down to a crawl and consumers (that’s you and me) will decrease our activity and buying. Things will for sure get tighter. You think we are having hard times now just wait. You are getting ready to see the economy really go bad, much worse than it is now. It is a back door Trojan ( The governments sneaky way of doing things) were the peoples taxes are increased dramatically and they do not even know it or see it coming and we still will follow the pied piper who is OBAMA. Obama and congressional leaders say the bill will create new “green” jobs. But increasing and raising the cost of doing business does not stimulate employment in general. It is just the reverse, it hampers it. This new bill will likely increase demands to build plants and factories outside the United States and even the particular jobs created by such mandates will come at the cost of other jobs. So what are we gaining except higher taxes and more regulations. If you stop and think about it, this great bill so far, rests on a contrast between today's darkening days and the darker days of the Great Depression, when the Congress of that day and the president rushed through the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, thereby digging the depression deeper, marching America into a scary, institution-threatening poverty that only ended in the aftermath of World War II. Back in 1930, general political wisdom had it that protectionism protected the whole economy. There was little evidence for this. It was the outbreak of world war two that really saved the economy. The bill that was passed back in the 1930’s might have helped some people but not the general Population. But protectionism did make believable sense on the surface, like the cap and trade bill does today. And remember back in those days, economists had not yet been bought off, like they are now, by the temptation of power and the appeal of political status, so almost to a man, they opposed the bill. The trouble today most economist are in the tank for they too are following the pied piper. Obama and his new lookouts love to talk of “science” as if the pronouncements of scientists are like prophecies and are totally protected from political pressure and economic incentives. The fact that those scientists and their projects are generally paid for with our tax dollars and tax-supported research grants doesn’t faze today's political leaders. And yet how many of the president's men, or the current Congress, would buy the science supported by tobacco companies? How many would dilly-dally to dismiss the science paid for by oil companies? The double standard regarding the wrong function of science still leans to support those who like to do “great things and mighty” things in government, ( you know like Obama and the yes we can speeches) leaning the other way from those who move forward carefully concerning intrusive regulations, rules, taxes, and prohibiting things they have been not proved as wrong or dangerous. We have seen this in the 20th century. Think of all those economists and experts in the field of economics who pretended they could direct the economy and point it in the right direction. Now we may be witnessing it in the scientist who have wanted, put forth, and pushed this bill that many call the Waxman-Markey outrage. It is a outrage that is for sure. The parallels here are striking. They are similar and share many characteristics. Today's so called leaders in economics and finance, until about nine months ago, confidently thought they could predict the future and manage the economy and eject risk with an detailed statistical collection. Not look what that got us, the government or should I say Obama controls the banks, auto industries, soon health care and many other things. At the rate things are going Obama and his congress will control everything. This is the same thing with today's climate scientists who aim to copy the long-term trends of the worldwide environment. They pretend they can predict where the “tipping points” are, and tell us why, with an air of stimulating certainty. How wrong they are and most Americans will agree with me. This global warming thing was endorsed and promoted by the same man that said he invented the internet. ( Al Gore ) Now that should tell you something. I can say this: the global warming debate most likely made him a few million. I think that “global warming” may soon become an worldwide embarrassment. And then we will witness a whole lot of so called experts sneaking off to write their next research grant proposal in a well-deserved shame and disgrace leaving us, the tax payor, with higher taxes and funding their next project. The cap and trade bill when it fully kicks in will ensure the American people a long, ugly life to our deepening depression. ( oh I’m sorry our recession )

EVER since Franklin Roosevelt put the building blocks of the New Deal in place in his first 100 days in office, presidents have been subjected to the 100-days test. For that brief spell, they have a unique opportunity to put their imprint on history—a honeymoon period when the public gives them the benefit of the doubt and Congress defers to their popular mandate, and they squander it at their peril. Let us look at Obama's accomplishments during his first 100 days and see if that is what you as a American would want. Meet Your new Leader!

The Democratic Party's Outlook, For The Future On Elections (In My Opinion) Is Not Admirable Or Highly Regarded. But It Is Very Impressive And Striking. That Is To Say This: They Plan To Win At Any Cost. Do And Say Whatever It Takes To Win. The Recent Chain Of Events Has Shown They Will Do Anything To Get Elected. Just Think About Who They Have Associated Themselves With And Who Is Behind Them. That Should Scare You To Death! Democrats Spend The Taxpayers Money(Think About This And Let It Sink In) On Groups Like ACORN That, Among Other Disgusting And Dirty Tactics, Seek Out Skid Row Bodies And Wheel Them To Polling Places. All The Democratic National Committee Needs Are Vans And The Smelling Salts. Democrats Brazenly And Shamelessly Take Policy Positions And Viewpoints Such As More Government Services And Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants - Not Because That Is The Right Thing To Do, But Because They Are Bribes That They Know Will Work For Them And Guarantee Them The Vote. They Do Not Care That The Policies Will Hurt The Country. They Do Not Care About What It Is Doing To The Economy Or The Security Of This Nation. But It Is To Get That Vote. It Is All About Power. Sometimes I Think (My Opinion Only) That The Democrat Party Would Give Out Free Booze, Needles, Methadone, And Medical Marijuana (In Voter Goodie Bags) If They Could Get Away With It, Just To Get That Vote. Nothing Is Honorable Any More. Democrats A Long Time Ago Got Rid Of America's Melting-Pot Ideal, You Know, E Pluribus Unum ("Out Of Many, One") . This Was What Made Our Country Great. A Person Would Come To This Country And Would Learn The English Language And The Way Of Life. They Would More Or Less Melt Into The American Society. Most Democrats Do Not Want This Because It Stops And Interrupts Their Drive For Unending Rule. Splitting The Country Into Separate Distinctive Groups And Playing Them Against Each Other Works A Lot Better. This Is How They Win. That Is Going To Be The Down Fall Of This Country. And Anyone Who Disagrees With Them Is A Racist. We Have Seen That During This Last Election With Obama And We Are Still Seeing It. If You Do Not Agree With Him You Are A Racist. I'm Want To Make It Perfectly Clear That I'm A Conservative American, Not A Republican, Not A Democrat, I'm Not A Racist, I'm Not A Kool Aid Drinker And I Have Not Feel Off Any Turnip Truck. I Can See What Is Happening To This Country And I (Along With Millions Of Other Americans) Do Not Like The Direction This Country Is Heading In. We Are Living In A Giveaway Society. I Do Not Care What Race Or Color Obama Is Or Is Not. I Can Name At List Three Black Men Who Would Make Great Presidents And Obama Is Not One Of Them. So Do Not Call Me A Racist Or A Sore Loser. One Of The First Things President Obama And The Democrats Tried To Do Was To Take Control Of The Census Bureau. (Remember That?) This Was And Is An Undertaking That Could Change The Congressional Districts And Make Certain Democratic Majorities For Years To Come. The New President And The Democrat Party Also Made Out An Enemies List, Focusing On Conservative Talk-Radio Hosts. He Also Appears To Have Singled Out Fox News. Why Fox News? Why Not ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, Or Some Of The Other News Agencies? It Is Because Fox News Is For The Most Part Fair And Balanced. That Is Why Their Ratings Are Always So High. These Transparent Political Gestures Were Done In The Middle Of The Economic Mess That We Were In And By The Way That We Are Still In. The Mainstream Media Excitement, Over Obama, To Make Sure Of A Lasting Victory For A New Democratic Party Was Plain To See During The Campaign And Still Is. In Other Words Moveon.Org, George Soros And Acorn Are In Charge Now. This Is Your New Democrat Party. This Is What We Have To Look Forward To. The New Democrat Party Is Not Like The Old Democrat Party Of Mom And Pop. With People Like Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, And Joe Bidden, (I Could Go On And On) Are The Leaders Then You Got To Know It Is Not That Same Old Party. When Elected, The Democrats Gave Out Billions Of Dollars As Bonuses To Their Basic Supporters That We As Taxpayers Paid. Just Think About The Stimulus Package, This Is A Out Of The Ordinary Payback For Big Labor Unions, Liberal Activist Groups And Conglomerate Corporations. It Would Be Hard Pressed For Me Or Anybody Else To Name A Single Democratic Policy That Is Not Motivated More By Dogma And Their Leftist Attitude Than Winning An Election By Any Means. They Stimulated Their Corrupt Base Not The Economy. That's Right, The Small Man, The Tax Payer Is Still No Better Off, In Fact Worse, Since Obama And The Democrats Have Come To Power. The Main Stream Media Is Not Going To Expose This Transparent (One Of Obama's Famous And Favorite Words) Fraud When The Main Stream Media Are In The Tank For Obama And The Democrats. NBC News, (Whose Is Owned By General Electric) Is Getting Billions In Stimulus Cash. So Why Not Propagate And Spread The Democrats Policies. The Liberal News Media Is At The Forefront Of A Off The Wall Campaign To Operate As A Check On The Party That Is Out Of Power (The Republicans) , Not The Party In Power (The Democrats). In Other Words They Will Keep Up Their Love Affair With The Obama Administration ( No Need For The Viagra) There Is No Checks And Balances To Prevent Them Turning This Country From A Capitalist Nation Into A Socialist Nation Where People Depend On The Government For Everything. Needless To Say There Are Millions Of People In This Country That Like That Idea Because That Is How They Were Raised. They Think The Government Owes Them Everything. The Democrats Under President Johnson Started This With THE GREAT SOCIETY And We Have Been In A Downward Spiral, To Some Degree, Ever Since. Obama And The Democrats Say We Need To Spread The Wealth Around, In Other Words As The Old Democrat Saying Of Years Ago: ".A Chicken In Every Pot.: What Happens When There Is No More Wealth To Spread Around. With Democrats Holding Comfortable And Secure Majority In The House And Senate, As Well As Controlling The Executive Branch, It's Only Logical And Commonsense That The Mainstream Media Will Focus Their Analysis And News Reporting On Rush Limbaugh, Former President George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, And Any Other Republican That Can Mount Or Establish A Campaign Against The Democrat Party. Why Would They Do This? To Keep Their Love Affair, With Obama Going. They Did It In The Election And Still Do It With Great Skill And As Long As The Media Has This Ongoing And Continuous Love Affair With Obama Little Will Change. What Upsets Me The Most Is That Republicans Seem To Think, For Some Reason, Democrats Can Be Their Friends. They Had Better Wake Up And Smell The Coffee. If They Do Not Get Motivated Things Will Only Get Worse. Listen, This Country Is On A Downward Spiral That Will Soon Not Be Able To Be Reversed. We Are Headed To Being A Socialist Nation Real Fast Were The Government Has Control Over Every Part Of Your Life. It Is Getting Close To That Now. There Will Soon, If Not Already, Will Be No More Checks And Balances In Our Government, Because Liberal Democrats Own The Store. In The Next Election, Things Need To Be Considerably A Whole Lot Different. The Republican Party Will Not Survive And Continue In Existence, If It Doesn't Recognize The Truth That The Democrats Are Its Adversary And Not Just Its Opponent, There Is A Big Difference There. They Must Realize That They Must Begin To Play For Keeps. That Means Telling It Like It Is And Stop Trying To Play By The Rules Because The Other Boys (The Democrats) Have Not Played By The Rules For Years And They Just About Have The Whole Bag Of Marbles. This Is Not The Democrat Party Of Old. This Party Has Thrown The Rules Out The Door And Just Look At What We Got. An Arrogant, Yes We Can, President That Some People Think Is The Messiah. A President, With The Help Of The Democrat Party And Some Rubber Legged Liberal Republicans Is Turning Our Great Country Into A Socialist Nation. The Near End Of Freedom As We Know It And The Start Of Socialism, Which Is No More Than Communism, Is Creeping Up On Us Fast. These May Be Hard Words But They Are The Truth.

You hear a lot about silent majority. You know the ones who are soundless, noiseless, unspoken, and never stand up for what they believe in. But here are the facts about the silent majority. They disagree with some of the ways that this country is run or should I say governed. We all have that right and it is my thought that if you disagree with something you should speak out and say what you mean and mean what you say. You will never change anything by keeping silent. Silence is not always golden. Right must have a voice that is heard. The silent majority must be united in its goal for a lasting peace in this world but at the same time they must be being united against people who think and live as if they were in the middle ages with modern gadgets. They must be unified against people that are elected to our highest office that would destroy this country. The Muslim world will not give in as long as the United States is a Divided Nation. The Muslims can never defeat this country. Only Americans, themselves can do that. We must remember there is one thing worse than war and that is to be over powered and defeated. We are a strong nation but we make our own self weak by being divided. Remember the old saying: “United we stand, divided we fall” There are some people in this country that have not got that concept or hypothesis yet. It is just like the example of wooden matches. You can break one very easy, two you can break but not as easy, three it gets harder until you cannot break the matches. That is how this country has to be to win this war on terror which is now coming against us. This is one war that we as a nation have to win. When you sit around and waste years debating if the glass is half full of water or half empty you both will be wrong because the water will be gone and so will this great country. To me that is a simple way of explaining the problem about the terrorist. You do not win a war by open handily giving ground to the enemy. General Patton, during World War Two, told his men this: “I do not want to hear we are holding our ground. Let the Huns do that! We are going to keep advancing till we win this war!” My next question where have all these great men gone? It is my opinion that we have the weakest president ever in charge of this great nation. What we need is another Patton and I can assure you that this war would come to a lot quicker conclusion. There are thousands of people that if they read this would be in agreement with me one hundred per cent. They have the same opinion but they will not open their mouth and say so. That my friend is the silent majority and because of you being silent and wordless your life will soon be over as you know it. Not only will the terrorist have control over us just look at the other things that are happening right before your eyes and the silent majority just lets it happen. The government in just three short months controls nearly all the banks. They control the car makers and can tell them what kind of car to make, they want to control, and most likely will, the heath care of this country. You will be having you health taken care of by the government, because they are the ones that control the doctors. The end goal of this present administration is to control everything including you. That is just about as close to being a communist as you can get. There is coming a day not to far off that people like me, who are not silent and will speak out, will be stopped from, crying aloud against the things that are destroying this country. You may say that I’m crazy, that I’m sick in the head, fanatical, a idiotic, and many other things, but there will come a time if the silent majority does not speak up it will happen. We have a man that is taking us to the cleaners real fast. Just look at what has taken place in just a very few months. What will this country be at the end of four years. He is living up to his promise of change. Where will that change leave us at the end of four years or God forbid eight years. The liberty that our fore fathers fought, bled, and died for are ever so slowly being taken from us and most of the people in this country do not even have a clue. It is time for people to stand up and say as Patrick Henry said long ago: “Give me liberty or give me Death”! It is time for more tea parties and most important it is time for people to vote for their liberties at the ballot box. Listen when the black people of this nation finally got tired of being at the back of the bus they made their voices heard in unity and rightly so. They had their rights as a free people and they made theirselfs heard. If they would have been a silent majority they would have been still riding in back of the bus. This day, June 6, 2009, I’m so thankful for the men and women that have served this country so that I might be able to write this article. I give thanks to the men and women who bled and died, the ones who are maimed for life The ones who are buried in a far away land who died to keep us free. Freedom is to be cherished at all cost. There was a great price paid for it by our servicemen across this world. .

This great country of ours has already fought one war in Korea and the way things are shaping up we might be there again. During the Early 1950’s we fought a war in that country. Some call it a conflict, but it was a war were our soldiers fought, bled, froze to death, and died, some being maimed for life. That should have been the last war there. We had a great general (Douglas MacArthur) who would have won that war, but whose hands were tied by our nation’s leaders at the time. It seems that we are always stopping short of our victory of winning the war. We are always stopping short of the goal. So we will have to do it again with the cost of more lives on the battlefield. When will we as a nation ever learn that you do not compromise with the enemy. We have since then spent untold billions of dollars to maintain that peace and for what, we are just about back to square once again. We should have did it right the first time and all of this with north Korea would not be happening now. The problem is we are always leaving before the job is done. This leaves unfinished work. North Korea threatens to engulf the whole Korean Peninsula in an all-out war. North Korea’s recent test of a nuclear bomb is a serious threat to our country and to international security. This should not have been even allowed to happen. Kim Jong-Il continues to thumb his nose at President Obama. The dictator has made Mr. Obama look small on the world stage of players, showing just how his presidency is ineffective and reckless, in other words to make it very clear, useless. Washington's (the Obama administration) emphasis on diplomacy was supposed to smooth the progress of rogue states into increased cooperation. Instead, it has only helped and made the likes of North Korea (and Iran) to go ahead with their nuclear-weapons programs. Mr. Obama's "open hand" has been met with Mr. Kim's iron fist - one that has smashed Uncle Sam in the face. And this will keep right on happening as long as Obama is in the White house. When will our government ever get it? If North Korea has not, in 50 years cooperated, with the United States what makes Obama think he can talk to them now? Some people in this country might see Obama as the messiah, but I do not think that North Korea will see him that way. North Korea is a regime not only unstable and repressive, but also treacherous and dangerous. They has formed an anti-American axis with Tehran and Damascus. It is involved in narcotics trafficking, counterfeiting and the smuggling of illicit weapons. Last year alone, North Korean state-run companies sold more than $1.5 billion in arms to Muslim nations such as Iran, Syria, Myanmar and Egypt. North Korea is a brutal police state characterized by one-party rule and totalitarian social control. Political corruption is rampant. Leninist economic planning is fused with nationalistic militarism. The result has been a failed nation - a starving, miserable population; a landscape blotted with slave-labor camps; and a country in which electricity and running water are luxuries for the privileged few. That is one of your Socialist nations. U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials say North Korea has supplied Iran's mullahs with key missile components. During Mr. Kim's first nuclear-bomb test in 2006, Iranian technicians were present as observers. In 2007, North Korean scientists built Syria's concealed nuclear reactor before it was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. By successfully detonating a nuclear device, Mr. Kim has sent a powerful and deadly message to the bad guys: He is ready to sell weapons of destruction as well as very important missile knowledge to jihadists and terrorist-sponsoring regimes. Does Obama still think that talking will do the trick? You do not talk with a mad dog or a mad man, because the results are the same. They will bite you were it hurts. Desperate to prop up their love affair with the Obama administration and help all it can the liberal media have downplayed and not said much about the North Korean danger. They want you to think that Mr. Kim as an erratic, spoiled child who is looking for some international attention. In fact North Korea has threatened to abandon the armistice signed with Seoul following the 1950-53 war - an act, however, it has already repeatedly committed in the past. Whether this is more of the usual North Korean threats remains to be seen. I personally think that things will grow worse. The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that the growing state of affairs may spark a nuclear conflict in the world. Obama and the so-called "realists" (somebody who only considers things as they are or appear to be, and avoids ideals and abstractions) at the State Department are determined and settled on to have Pyongyang rejoin the six-party talks. That in itself is a joke. You cannot talk to mad men who are bent on doing something that is deadly and wrong. This is exactly what the problem is, the importance placed on joint diplomacy. That has led to the present crisis. Mr. Kim, like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is determined to build a nuclear state - no matter what the cost. Our President either does not get it or he does not care. Mr. Kim believes (rightly so) that having a nuclear deterrent will immunize his regime from a Western military attack, thereby ensuring his country’s survival. For fanatical dictators, in my opinion, talks are simply a cover to attain what they want. In this case it is the bomb. Talking to people like North Korea is a waste of time and gives them more time to complete their mission. If they have not changed their policy since the 1950s then how is talking going to change anything now? They have been talking (out of both sides of their mouth) for fifty years. So I do not see how any smooth talking messiah can change their mind about anything. The grimy little secret is that the Obama administration knows this, They no longer really cares to dismantle Pyongyang's nuclear program. If they did, they would have launched a surgical airstrike to knock out North Korea's missile launch in April. Such a bold and confident move by this administration would have told the communist leadership - and its chief sponsor, Red China - that Washington was serious about curbing its Weapons of mass destruction capabilities. It would have put Tehran's Islamic nuts on notice. Instead, Mr. Obama pursues and wants a reckless policy of appeasement. Pacification will never win a war. It is also my opinion that we are no longer in control of our own destiny no matter if it is here at home or abroad. With the leadership that we have in the White house now we will always be on a downward spiral. We have lost our freedom of action to pressure China to disarm one of the deadliest outlaw regimes on earth. America will regret that someday. Why is this so? Because China just about owns us, lock, stock and barrel. If you do not believe this then do as I did and start looking for the facts and you will find them. Not only has this country borrowed from China until we just about cannot barrow any more, nearly everything that we buy any more comes from China and that includes a lot of our food. This makes their economy strong while our economy is weak. This is not the time for the American people to have a weak president that says a lot but does nothing. We need a strong president that will take strong actions to protect this country and the world. I might have to say I’m sorry latter, but I must say that Obama is not that man. If you are looking for the messiah it is not him.
