May 6, 2009 – The voter rolls are swelled up, due to the record-setting election season of 2008. Now, you too may be called upon to “serve” your country on a jury within the court systems of America. Whether it be for murder or fraud – this is one man’s response. What you are about to view will be offensive to some, understandable to others. 

A legacy is defined as, “something from past: something that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time.” There are all kinds of legacies. Some, like a family name, are associated with wealth, power, or political position. Such is the case when you mention the names Kennedy and Rockefeller. On the other hand, mention the names Marcos, Stalin, or Hitler and you have get images of the abuse of power and the infringement of rights and liberties.

Over the course of time a legacy might change. For instance, a family born into poverty, might through the industriousness of one, lead to a lifestyle of wealth and privilege. Such is the case of many of the self-made millionaires who worked hard, and worked their way from poverty to become leaders of industry or finance.

May 6, 2001 – Are you a terrorist? According to the Department of Homeland Security, Americans are terrorists if they own a bible, a pocket Constitution or guns, and still believe in Life, Liberty and Freedom. The latest evil issuance from the diabolical Administration from Hell.

(U//FOUO)  Homeland Security Reference Aids—prepared by the DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A)—provide baseline information on a variety of homeland security issues.  This product is one in a series of reference aids designed to provide operational and intelligence advice and assistance to other elements of DHS, as well as state, local, and regional fusions centers.  DHS/I&A intends this background information to assist federal, state, local, and tribal homeland security and law enforcement officials in conducting analytic activities.  This product provides definitions for key terms and phrases that often appear in DHS analysis that addresses the nature and scope of the threat that domestic, non-Islamic extremism poses to the United States.  Definitions were derived from a variety of open source materials and unclassified information, then further developed during facilitated workshops with DHS intelligence analysts knowledgeable about domestic, non-Islamic extremism in the United States.

May 6, 2009 – No matter how high they may be in the political arena, pay no attention to the apologists.  Pay no attention to the appeasers of our enemies.  Pay no attention to those who utter dooms-day prophecies.   Pay no attention to the fear mongers who would fill us with dread from manufactured crises, designed for evil purposes.  Pay no attention to those who say we are weak and decadent.  Pay no attention to the nay-sayers.  Pay no attention to those who would run down America.  Pay no attention to the socialists who would willingly tear down the fabric of our freedom and give away our sovereignty to a faceless one world order.

LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!  If you do not read anything else today, PLEASE READ THIS!  OBAMA’S Thugs will take your 2nd Amendment rights!  You will be left defensless against criminals!  Our Forefathers knew this day would come. Stupid, lazy Americans are spitting on our American heritage!  Do not let this happen to your country!

You’re sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way. With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it. In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

Argument: Since 1975, when Americans again were legally allowed to own such things as gold bullion coins, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has generated a greater return on investment than gold.

Response: “This is an apples-to-oranges comparison. The composition of a one-ounce gold coin doesn’t change; it remains one ounce of gold. But the composition of the Dow has changed 24 times since 1975, with 24 out of 30 companies having declined in profitability or gone out of business, being replaced by other publicly traded firms. The price of gold has increased over 500 percent since 1975. Any comparison to the frequently re-juggled components of the Dow is invalid.

If nature abhors a vacuum, politics abhors complexity. There has been much discussion and some angst in the press lately about President Barack Obama’s supposed communication breakdown during the financial crisis. The breathless reports convey the impression that he has lost his communication skills altogether. One headline admonished: “Obama struggles as communicator.”

Watching the staple Sunday-morning television shows, you would have thought that the assembled pontificators had a sense of nostalgia for the days of the campaign, when they admitted to feeling “shivers” up their legs when they listened to him, or soaked up the crowds of 50,000 swaying happily to his moving speeches about change we can believe in.

“Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!” My father yelled at me.

“Can’t you do anything right?”

Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn’t prepared for another battle.

“I saw the car, Dad. Please don’t yell at me when I’m driving.”

My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt.

April 28, 2009 – Several major news stories broke last week that all should have sent the price of gold soaring. Gold did rise 5.3 percent, which did not reflect the importance of the developments.

There is a theme to the eight news items cited here. China has been buying large amounts of gold, it wants even more and the U.S. banking system is still in dire straits.

What this means is obvious, but if you are willing to dive in with me here, the details follow:
