June 27, 2009 - The actress Natasha Richardson died after falling skiing in Canada. It took eight hours to drive her to a hospital. If Canada had our healthcare she might be alive today. We now have helicopters that would have gotten her to the hospital in 30 minutes. Obama wants to have our healthcare like Canada’s and England’s.
In England anyone over 59 cannot receive heart repairs or stents or bypass because it is not covered as being too expensive and not needed.
June 27, 2009 – This week marks the end of the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency. It marks the start of a terrible period of economic and political decline in the United States. And it signals the last gasp of the American imperium. That’s over. It is not coming back. And what is to come will be very, very painful.
Barack Obama, and the criminal class on Wall Street, aided by a corporate media that continues to peddle fatuous gossip and trash talk as news while we endure the greatest economic crisis in our history, may have fooled us, but the rest of the world knows we are bankrupt.
June 26, 2009 – America was born out of a bloody revolution, a revolution created by the rising tyranny of a King. Much blood was spilled in that painful birth of freedom. The second American revolution, the unCivil War, was born out of a schism between states rights and federal power, over the issue of slavery. Much blood was spilled in that war to “test whether our nation, or any nation, conceived in liberty, can long endure.” Even today, almost 150 years later, the scars left over from that war simmers as a constant undercurrent of anger and resentment in some parts of the nation.
Now as free Americans are pushed, shoved, cajoled and coerced towards the precipice of enslavement by an out-of-control government, will much blood have to be spilled to once again reclaim our freedom?
June 26, 2009 – One might be tempted to dismiss the recent findings of the US State Department on human trafficking as largely political. But do not be too hasty.
Criticism of the State Department’s report on trafficked persons, issued on 16 June, should be rife. The language describing US allies’ efforts to combat the problem seems undeserved, especially when one examines the nearly 320- page report and observes the minuscule efforts of these governments. Also, it was hardly surprising to find that Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Syria — Washington’s foremost foes — languish in the report’s Tier 3 category, i.e. countries where the problem is most grave and least combated. Offenders in Tier 3 are subject to US sanctions, while governments of countries in Tier 1 are perceived as vigilant in fighting human trafficking.
June 25, 2009 – For those of you who have become accustomed to reading my articles on a regular basis I regretfully apologize for the sudden drought of writings on my part. I was engrossed in a book, and then, when I had just about finished it, my wife suffered an injury at work which caused her to temporarily lose the use of her right hand. So I have been a bit overloaded with chores and making sure she is comfortable.
As some of you may know, the book I was reading was Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. Although it is a work of fiction I found that much of the story closely parallels what is going on in this country at this time.
June 25, 2009 – A government run health Insurance company would be exactly the tool needed to shutter private insurance companies in America and drive currently insured Americans into the arms of the government owned company while at the same time demonstrating the “need” for a universal healthcare system even though the “need” was created by the government itself.
And another thing: Where, exactly does the government expect to get the doctors for ObamaCare? Has anyone in Washington thought of that, yet? I mean – New medical students will only decide to enter medical schools if they know that they can make a living once they graduate and set up their practice.
June 22, 2009 – CHURCHVILLE, VA: It was only a matter of time before First Lady Michelle Obama sprang to the wall of the White House Organic Garden and demanded more organic food—a heartfelt campaign fully as sincere as her husband’s ongoing demand that the affluent countries fight off man-made global warming by taxing away most of their energy. However, both the First Lady’s and the President’s campaigns share the same problem: Both are based on politically-correct illusions.
Mrs. Obama’s moment came earlier this month when she invited fifth-grade students to join her at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and share an early harvest from the White House Organic Garden. The menu: brown rice, baked chicken and fresh snapped peas. We’re sure it was delicious.
June 22, 2009 - In preparation for the coming of Brother Ray from the Big Apple, I began to ponder the words of Frank Zappa – and lo and behold, I found the words to a song entitled, “The Illinois Enema Bandit.” Considering that the average American is currently taking it in the posterior, by the man from Illinois, or Hawaii, or Kenya – or wherever in the hell he is from – I found these words appropriate.
June 17, 2009 – WASHINGTON: The National Security Agency is facing renewed scrutiny over the extent of its domestic surveillance program, with critics in Congress saying its recent intercepts of the private telephone calls and e-mail messages of Americans are broader than previously acknowledged, current and former officials said.
The agency’s monitoring of domestic e-mail messages, in particular, has posed longstanding legal and logistical difficulties, the officials said.
Since April, when it was disclosed that the intercepts of some private communications of Americans went beyond legal limits in late 2008 and early 2009, several Congressional committees have been investigating.
June 17, 2009 - It was indeed encouraging to see the revival of the great American spirit in Tea Party events, held in cities all around America on April 15th. We heartily applaud their efforts. Maybe, just maybe, many Americans have a spine after all and the “spine” is stiffening against the dictatorial trash being offered up by the Democrats, who have truly lost their collective minds, along with those who voted for this manufactured mirage of “hope” and “change”. Obama and these other liberal clowns in America’s driver seat are going to give you their version of “hope” and “change”, but in the process they will spit on your constitution, steal your money, rob you of your freedom and dismantle your liberty. Now that is what we call traitorous “hope” and “change” ….. a rose by any other name.
Most of the tea parties were held in public squares where there was room for the thousands to mill about and wave signs in the air. Oh yes, the events received lots of news coverage (mostly Fox News), but much of it fell on deaf ears and was demeaned by the main stream media as just a bunch of kooks or racists who don’t like Obama. How wrong they were and still are.
June 16, 2009 – “The signal for the US debt bomb going off will be a Treasury auction where there is an insufficient amount of willing buyers – which means part of the issue is left unsold with some Treasury paper left on the counter. At that point, the only remaining buyer will be the Fed. To “buy”, the Fed will have to create HUGE amounts of US Dollars out of thin air.“
There are times, when the financial condition of both the Nation and the rest of the world, need assessment from a different perspective. What follows is well worth your time – after all – it is YOUR money. Our purpose in providing you this lengthy report – is so that you are better prepared for that, which is about to come – what we believe to be a complete and total meltdown of monumental proportions.
June 16, 2009 – In her newsletter of June 8, 2009, Senator Patty Murray (Communist Democrat – Washington State) gushed: “On Wednesday, I met with U.S. Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to discuss her nomination to the Supreme Court. Judge Sotomayor’s life story is the embodiment of the American Dream and I believe that her nomination will be an inspiration to many Americans. I look forward to considering her nomination in the Senate.”
Since when is one’s “life story” a qualifier to sit on the highest court in the land?
June 15, 2009 – How weak is the human soul that it cannot hang on to freedom? How pathetic that once-proud and self-reliant Americans continue to fall into the trap that government camouflages in the shadows of the public treasury, in its quest for absolute power over all the people. How naive and ignorant we are to succumb to the siren call of “free” government money, handouts and subsidies, while ignoring the “strings” that come with the so-called “gifts”. We have fallen into the bottomless pit of irrational greed and in the process, have abdicated our individual rights and freedom for a few pieces of silver. That qualifies us to be labeled ….. dumb Americans.
June 14, 2009 – From time to time, events unfold that are so large in scope, so all-encompassing in their implications that one’s initial response is muted by an inability to categorize it all within the realm of experience. Previous reference points prove of little service. One’s image of oneself and one’s place in the world is under seize, perhaps even in danger of being torn away. One stare’s into the abyss, until the abyss removes its dark shades and makes direct eye contact. The mind buzzes; one’s thoughts scuttle in circles like stunned insects.
~ Foreword ~ Whatever happened to the American government system of “Checks and Balances”? Why haven’t the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch stopped the Administrative Branch in their illegal Marxist takeover of our Banking, Financial, Insurance, and Auto businesses along with our future Healthcare? What about Obama cancelling contracts and firing CEOs?
Most Americans believe that trillions of dollars are being wasted on a ”Stimulus Package” that makes no sense, instead of just using our long established Bankruptcy Courts that have successfully saved or liquidated any troubled companies in the past.
Most of our present financial problems were caused by government interference, and now our bungling government solutions will only make these problems worse.
President Barack Obama promised us Marxism when on the campaign trail – he just didn’t call it that! REAL NEWS
June 14, 2009 – The government is taking over private industry.
Well, so much for the great experiment with freedom.
Benito Mussolini called it “the Corporate State,” thank God that demented sucker got hung!
You’ve got to be kidding me!
A powerful nation such as America going down the tubes to globalism without a fight, as 535 feckless Congress critters sit around complacently, with their heads stuck up their ass.
June 14, 2009 – President Obama has never met a crisis he didn’t love; particularly the ones that involve spending trillions of dollars. What fun it is to propose programs that involve borrowing or taxing Americans to death.
On June 9, the Associated Press reported, “President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed budget rules that would allow Congress to borrow tens of billions of dollars and put the nation deeper in debt to jump-start the administration’s emerging health care overhaul.”
Since the stealth heathcare “reform” that Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to foist on Americans during the 1993-94 Congress, this “crisis” has been off the radar screen of Americans who have the audacity to think they should decide whether and how much health insurance they want and to expect healthcare that is not rationed on the basis of how old they are and other factors determined by some faceless government bureaucrat.
June 14, 2009 – Most liberals regard illegal aliens as “Undocumented Democrats” and a veritable gold mine of opportunity for holding on to political power by coddling to those here unlawfully.
For that reason, most Democrat politicians have abandoned patriotic concern about homeland security, the rule of law, stability of the American economy and social order, and preservation of American language and culture.
In fact, one can search high and low for a liberal with a patriotic, pro-America stance on illegal immigration, and that search will usually be futile.
But there is a notable exception: A U.S. Senator who has shown remarkable wisdom, foresight, and clarity, especially for a Democrat.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan
