WASHINGTON'S LOGIC
I am seething mad! We are now going down the same road as Greece! Washington, in it's infinite wisdom, is now planning on TAXING your SAVINGS!! First of all, that money has ALREADY been taxed! Income tax, State tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax and Disability tax. Now, we have Obama Care tax, yes, there's a tax for GETTING & HAVING Health Insurance, and now, a SAVINGS tax.
We all heard about the Capital Gains tax,when Romney ran against Obama, but taxing your SAVINGS?? It's bad enough you can't earn anything on the little you do manage to save. (Thank you Federal Reserve for "propping-up" the economy with 'worthless' money)
So....... How do you pay for College? Buy a house? Car?
Then we have the Senators that want to extend unemployment benefits, AGAIN, "It's an 'EMERGENCY', the economy is still bad". What? Isn't 99 weeks enough time to figure out you need to make changes to get back to work? Most of them want 'full time' work, Obama Care fixed that, now 30 hrs. is "full time"! Unemployment is suppose to be 7.?%? (revised today to 6.7%) If it is, it's only because people need 2 jobs to make up the difference! The, so called "recovery," was 4 yrs. ago. So what is it? But, when you keep changing the way you get the numbers, how can you TRUST the numbers?
What have the 'policies' Washington's been passing, actually done to HELP the poor? I know it hasn't helped ME! With all the money and programs Washington has thrown at us, we have MORE poor, than ever before! Then they add more and more new regulations and make it harder and harder to get out of poverty!
Washington changed how we measure inflation. It doesn't include utilities, fuel or food. When your not working, everything else is a luxury. Every time I go to the store or fill my tank it's gone up, THAT'S inflation to me!
Instead of getting rid of RIDICULOUS programs, like millions to see if a Shrimp can run on a treadmill... (THAT;S an important discovery) they cut Military Retiree's pay. These people put their LIFE on the line for MY Freedom, we have a responsibility to take care of them!
The weather changes & it's "Global Warming", it snows so it's "Climate Change", DUH!! Climate changes all the time, it has been forever! Not something 'man' has control over, but, Obama thinks adding a "carbon" tax will fix it.
How about some common sense solutions? Stop destroying the rain forest's? Replace the tree's you cut down! GOVERNMENTS are responsible for creating the problem, yet they want the people to pay for it!
Liberals, Progressive Republicans, they seem to think it's okay to tell people what they want to hear, so you can get 're-elected'! They care more for their job than the Country!
The way I see it, our only hope for the Country, is to elect people who aren't going to be there for 40 or 50 yrs! We need "Term Limits", for Senators, Congressmen AND the Supreme Court! There should be no "lifetime" appointments in Washington at all! While we're at it, we could pull all the "Retirement" and "Pension" benefits!
We need Honor, Integrity and Morality BACK in Washington. Our vote is how we get it, but participation and vigilance is how we find it.

2014-2016 ELECTIONS
Unless the "PEOPLE", stand-up for The Constitution & Bill of Rights, then you might as well start carrying a pillow to kneel on, because you WILL be kneeling & bowing to the 'Dictator' of the United States! Hell, you already ARE! Just look at Washington now.
When was the last time your Government ASKED for your opinion? Look how they 'demonize' the 'Tea Party'. The 'Tea Party' is nothing more that 'Citizens', AMERICAN Citizens who want Washington to HEAR them. They want the people WE elected, to follow the Constitution when they are passing Law's, Regulations & Tax's! We expect, no, DEMAND that they OBEY the OATH they Swore on a BIBLE to UPHOLD & DEFEND!
Problem is, they are ERASING the Constitution. The Constitution is NOT being taught or learned in school, except a couple of paragraphs here and there in the American History Class. If you want to know more, you actually have to take it as an elective class. If your parents are not promoting the principals of the Constitution, you probably only know some of the main ones, like the 1st & 2nd Amendments, which by the way, Obama & the Progressive Socialists are trying to destroy.
They use natural events as an excuse to "take your guns', they use "global warming"as a way to 'tax' more. You explain to me how taxing 'carbon' is going to 'fix' the weather, that, by the way is in GOD'S hands, and if your an Atheist, whatever they believe controls NATURE.
The 2014 Elections are just a few months from now, November. If we even HAVE Elections, there's a lot that's going to be happening in the next few months. Obama has pushed to much & to far. If you REALLY want to know what is going on behind the scenes, you will have to check out some of the internet new's stations, like, the Alex Jones show, the Blaze, Commonsense news, and MANY more. Go to you-tube and type in 'OBAMA'.... you will get LOT'S of INDEPENDENT journalists!
Please! VOTE!!! Your voice WILL be heard, but you have to use your vote!
Tell Washington what you want buy WHO you vote for! Ask questions, get involved! If you don't, you will loose the little power that We the People still have.

AMERICAN HYPOCROCY!
What is happening to our 1st. Amendment? What is happening in this Country when the 'few', are dictating, what EVERYONE is suppose to think, say and feel? Since when am I suppose to roll over and play dead, because you don't like MY Religious Beliefs? or my Political Beliefs?
I HEAR "tolerance," but I don't see tolerance, I hear 'compassion," but I don't see compassion. The very people who are TELLING us, we need to accept the DIFFERENCES in people, refuse to follow their own demands!
I'm a "racist"! NOT, because I don't like 'Blacks','Indians', Gay's or Lesbians, NO, I'm a 'racist', because I don't agree with 'POLICIES', I'm a "Bigot" or 'Racist', because I don't believe in Gay Marriage, I hate 'poor people,' because I don't think Welfare should be 'forever', and it divides family's, I hate 'women' because I feel 'abortion' is immoral unless it's for a woman's life, incest or rape. SO WHAT?
Why is it that I have to be "ACCEPTING", of what YOU believe? Why can't we just agree to disagree, and get on with life? Why are you so threatened by MY opinion? Why am I accused of racism, bigotry, intolerance, etc. BECAUSE I disagree? Where is YOUR responsibility ?
If I don't like something I see in the paper, I don't buy it! If I don't like how some people live, I stay away, so, why can't YOU? Why do you have to FORCE me to 'be like you'?
I don't go out of my way to tell people what I believe, well, here I write it, but you have a choice NOT to read it! Stop trying to STEAL MY RIGHTS!

IT'S NOT THE WEBSITE, STUPID!!
Not only does the website not work, it's not secure, never was! No Security Code was ever entered into the website & still isn't!! EVERYONE who uses
the website to sign up, is playing Russian roulette with their identity
and credit. The site is just the tip of the iceberg, and Obama knows it,
and doesn't care!
You CAN'T keep your Doctor, you CAN'T keep your policy,and in some cases, you CAN'T keep your Hospital,
Everyday more and more problems are showing it's little head, and Obama is just digging in, like his press conference yesterday. Challenging "the other side", to just TRY to change it, or "come up with something different", which, they TRIED to do BEFORE Obama Care passed! I watched the ONE time Obama had both parties together, Democrats on one side, Republicans on the other, and EVERY idea by Republicans, REJECTED, as "more of the same", and leaves things in the Insurance Company's hands. The Federal Government's hands are BETTER???
Again, it's the Republicans fault that there are so many blunders with Obama Care. It doesn't matter that Obama & Democrats refused to use ANY of their suggestions for the Health Care Bill, it doesn't matter that Republicans tried to tell the Democrats & Obama that the Law doesn't & won't work, or that they tried over 30 times to get it overturned. No, it's the Republicans fault that the Law doesn't work BECAUSE of those things!
Well, if you didn't talk about Obama Care with your Family at the Thanksgiving Dinner table, then, as Obama says, you can talk about it at Happy Hour with your Bartender! You notice he's NEVER suggested you talk it over with your DOCTOR!!!

THERE'S A STORM COMING!
The ARM'S Treaty with the U.N., this Treaty with Iran, ALL our Civilian Law enforcement & FEMA under the Umbrella of Homeland Security, An EPA that doesn't follow the Law OR the Constitution! 30k Drones watching our every move! A Health Care Law that does more harm than good. Politicians who care more about the next election than doing what's right for the People or the Country!
The Hypocrisy & Lies in Washington is only part of it, what REALLY pisses me off, is that they think the People are so STUPID that they can't see what's going on. Mainstream Media is so biased, they just don't report anything that might put a bad light on how Americans look at this President!
Obama has "skirted" the Congress AND the Constitution by 'executive order' more than ANY and ALL Presidents in our History! Now, Harry Reid has invoked the Nuclear Option so Obama can put the 3 Judges in the second highest court, next to the Supreme Court! These 3 positions have been open for years,blocked by Democrats & Republicans alike, because it shifts the POWER balance, and there hasn't been any need for them. Reid says it's because Republicans have BLOCKED all the appointee's from Obama, which is a lie, ALL of Obama's appointees have been approved.
Obama's not stupid, he knows that because of Obama Care, the Democrats will probably loose the Senate majority, he knows that the Republicans will be challenging a lot of the Policies that Obama has "signed" into law. How better to "get away with murder," than to have Judges in your pocket? Especially since a 'challenge' can't get to the Supreme Court unless the second court sends it there!
All over the internet there are amateur sleuths and whistle blowers, trying to warn the American People of all the "behind the scenes" things that Washington is doing to DESTROY our Freedom. This is BOTH sides, Democrats & Republicans alike! Passing laws & adopting policies that they say are to "protect" us, yet, it treats us like criminals! The TSA and the Drones for example!
There are more & more Law's being passed that take away our choices, "for our own good"! I don't know about everyone else, but, I'm an ADULT! I want to make my own decisions about what's good for ME! What's good for the people down the block, doesn't mean it's good for me, yet Government is suppose to know MORE & BEST what's good for all of us!
Our Country is in danger, and I'm not just talking Terrorist's here. If you pay ANY attention to Washington, what is going on there, what our Government is doing TO us, instead of, FOR us, then you would have to be as scared as I am of what's coming. I would so much like to be wrong, but I don't think so!
In just 5 short years, Obama has changed how our Military engages with the enemy, he has literally tied their hands and it's costing lives! How do you fight a war when you can't shoot the enemy unless they DIRECTLY shoot at YOU???
We are getting so "politically correct" we can't call a spade a spade without it offending someone! How do you fight "TERROR" when you can't say it's "extremist Islam, or extremist Muslim"? With Obama putting the Muslim Brotherhood in positions of power in our Government, 'sharia' is being recognized in our courts! So far it's been just within the boundaries of Muslims, but what happens when a Muslim wants to start pushing 'sharia' on American Citizens?
GOD is being taken OUT of EVERYTHING! Anything Christian is being challenged by Obama & the Dept of Justice, even our Troops are being forbidden to keep their Bibles. Our Children aren't being taught our history or the Constitution in School. Most schools are eliminating the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited, they are "brainwashing' our Children to be afraid of Guns, to the point of not even allowing them to play "Cops & Robbers'! Bigotry is the worst I've seen it sense the 60's, Religious Leaders keeping quiet about this new "knock-out" game that's getting people killed, but God Forbid if a black person get's killed while a white is protecting themselves, yet it's okay if they kill each other or white's? How is that right?
I could name THOUSANDS of examples of where Government is violating our Civil & Legal Rights. Yet, people keep quiet. Where is the Outrage? The only people that are "Standing-up" are the Tea Party, and they are listed as "Terrorist's" by Homeland Security!
Your not going to find a lot of this in the News, they are covering the behinds of our Politicians, but go to UTube, Wikileaks, Townhall, ANY on line news outlet, Judicial Watch, Newsmax. We need to stand together, get back in the game & VOTE!! "We the People" have been standing on the sidelines way to long! For all of you out there who think their vote doesn't count, think again, because as long as your quiet, someone else will speak for you!

OBAMA CARE...UGH!
Obama is NOW ready to 'stand by his word', "If you like your Health Care, you can keep it, PERIOD". How generous of him! He couldn't do that BEFORE (5) MILLION people lost their insurance? Just HOW does he think the Insurance Company's are going to do that?It's not just something you can 'take back', we know HE doesn't care about the LAW, but what would happen if nobody did? There are State agency's involved to, you can't just do an about face or, 're-do'!
Didn't the Government just "shut-down" for TWO WEEKS, because the 'President,' REFUSED to negotiate with Republicans? Didn't the SAME Democrats that are now calling for delays, REFUSE to vote with Republicans to DELAY the 'Individual Mandate'?
They knew this LAW wasn't going to work! They knew that Millions of people were going to loose their Health Care, yet, not ONE Democrat was willing to cross party lines.
Hasn't half the Country been telling Washington they didn't want this Health Care Law?
That was before the Democrats coming up for re-election found out they are in trouble! NOW
they want to "fix it".
I'm sorry, I just don't know how Obama thinks he can change the law! Our Constitution is very specific in what the President is allowed to do! For someone who say's he's a Constitutional Lawyer, Scholar, whatever, he can't just say do it & it be done! There are to many things involved here.
Personally, I'm ready to take a megaphone and hit the street's! I'm so disgusted with BOTH party's, they KNOW the Constitution, yet nobody is calling Obama out on it! I know Republicans are a minority in Washington, but enough is enough!
If it was just this one thing,maybe, but Obama has been violating the Constitution since he took office, and the Media & Democrats have been covering his ass on it!.

OUR SECOND AMMENDMENT
Today on C-Span, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, came to voice their commitment to PROTECT our Second Amendment! Star Parker, (Founder), Ken Hutchinson, (Pastor), Harry Alford, (National Black Chamber of Commerce), Niger Innis, (Congress of Racial Equality President), to name just a few of the speakers.
All of them Black, all of them active in the Community, either in the Church, or in the Professional Sector, and ALL of them know the importance of the Second Amendment. They all agree that your rights are given to you NOT by the Government, but by GOD! (If your Atheist, then whatever you believe in)
They know that the attack on our right to bear arms has NOTHING to do with stopping violence, and EVERYTHING to do with POWER! Our Constitution was written to PROTECT the People of the United States! You can watch the whole thing on C-Span.org. Then I would LOVE to hear from YOU!
PEOPLE kill people! You cannot ban everything that can do harm to another. You MUST change the HEART of the people who would do harm!

DRONES AGAINST AMERICA
Our Constitution was written to protect the citizens of the United States. It was written because our Founding Fathers knew, first hand, what happens when a Government (or King), has to much power. They came here, a new land, to be free, free to own land, free to worship God, (or not). Free to pursue their dreams without fear of 'loosing their head', for daring to go against ' the crown'. Free to improve their life, and the life of their family.
In the last 100 yrs. this Country has lost it's way. The 'People' have lost their way. Somehow, 'We the People," have forgotten that it's NOT the Government that owns this Country, it's us, "The People".
Our 'Government' is a necessary evil, it was formed to protect us from the threat of invasion, to open up borders for trade across state lines and international trade, to protect the 'People" from threats both foreign and domestic. It was NOT created to run our lives, invade our privacy, or decide who lives or dies. This Government seems to feel that our life belongs to THEM and we are to live it as THEY choose, not as WE choose. But, I can't entirely blame the politicians for that, I blame us, the 'People', for allowing this to happen, let someone else do it, and that's why we are at this point in time!
Many people in this country seem to think that it's OKAY for our Government, CIA, and, or President, to use drones to target and kill "American Citizens", if they are determined to be an "Enemy Combatant", WITHOUT a hearing, a trial, or a warrant!.
There have been NUMEROUS documented cases where our 'government' has ABUSED the trust and power that the "People" have entrusted them with, and like it or not, this is more often than not. I would love to believe that our elected officials were honest, moral and principled people, but they are human, and human is corruptible!
Since DNA, we have found out that hundreds, maybe thousands of people who were convicted of serious crimes, Rape & Murder, people who spent 20-30 yrs behind bars, or worse, executed, only later to be found innocent. Human Beings make mistakes, that's why we have safeguards in place.
The point is, there is NO PERSON, on this Earth, who should be able to make the decision to take the life of another, without 'due process', or in self defense!. In times of war, we have the "Geneva convention'. But, under THIS administration, for some reason, people have lost whatever common sense they at one time possessed. To allow the President, or anyone else, to make the decision to label a United States Citizen, a traitor or enemy combatant, and then decide to use our drones to kill them, is criminal.
I've listened to both sides, but once we, as a country, start breaking our own laws, what does that make us? "We the People", have a DUTY, to be sure our Government stays within the confines of the LAW!
The idea that anyone in office should have the kind of power to decide, without due process, who an enemy is or isn't, goes against everything that this Country was founded on!
In the last 100 yrs. this Country has lost it's way. The 'People' have lost their way. Somehow, 'We the People," have forgotten that it's NOT the Government that owns this Country, it's us, "The People".
Our 'Government' is a necessary evil, it was formed to protect us from the threat of invasion, to open up borders for trade across state lines and international trade, to protect the 'People" from threats both foreign and domestic. It was NOT created to run our lives, invade our privacy, or decide who lives or dies. This Government seems to feel that our life belongs to THEM and we are to live it as THEY choose, not as WE choose. But, I can't entirely blame the politicians for that, I blame us, the 'People', for allowing this to happen, let someone else do it, and that's why we are at this point in time!

GUN BAN? MORE PROPAGANDA?
I'm scared to death! If you watch the news, if you see the violence all around this Country, and the World. The Feinstein Bill to ban 'assault weapons', is one scarey deal. And where will it stop? Hand guns next? Knives? How about cars?
Let's look at this rationally. The 'kid' who killed all those Children and Teachers in the School shootings was one sick individual. His Mother had done everything 'legally' possible to get help for her son, right up to trying to have him committed.
That 'kid', tried to purchase the guns he wanted to do the job, but THE LAWS WORKED! He could NOT buy the guns that he had intended to use. Instead, he killed his Mother, and took HER guns. Tell me this, how would the "Feinstein Bill", have stopped it? The Bill would keep all citizens from owning those weapons, EXCEPT, Government workers, Police, Homeland Security, etc. Who's to say their 'son's', wouldn't get hold of the guns, or they are stolen from them?
The Politicians would have you believe that private citizens don't need those guns, the Police can protect you. How has THAT been working? Criminals get guns, people are killed every day by criminals, in home invasions, robbery's, drive byes, etc. so, where were the Police in those incidents?
I'm sorry, but, the Police can't be everywhere now, can they? Unless that Officer is standing in your living room when those intruders break in, they aren't going to do you one bit of good. They may catch them on the way out, IF you were able to call them in the first place, otherwise, forget it. All you can hope for is that they are caught and prosecuted later, but look at the facts, maybe one in 10 'stranger' murders are actually caught.
Obama and Clinton have a "Treaty" in the works now that would give the UN the jurisdiction, or power to confiscate those guns, ALL of them, how will that 'protect' you?!
Look at the States with the strictest gun laws. They have the HIGHEST crime rate in the Country. So, before you tell your Senator or Congressman to pass that Bill, maybe you should look at the facts first.

OBAMA'S NEWS CONFERENCE
So much for compromise! Obama tells newsmen today that he's open for compromise on the Bush tax cuts. Then, in the next breath, as long as the cuts don't extend to the upper one percent. I don't know about you, but that doesn't equate to a compromise to me.
House Republicans know how to raise revenues by eliminating 'deductions', which will bring in revenue without jeopardizing job growth, Democrats know this to, it's been done before. The problem is, Obama isn't going to accept any ideas from Republicans. Now, if a Democrat would partner with Republicans, he MIGHT decide to use the ideas, but all you have to do is listen to the words. He's still calling Republicans 'stubborn', 'uncompromising',' far right', the same as before the election. He's more determined than ever to 'destroy capitalism,' to fulfill his "Fathers Dream!"
'We the People', are going to have to step-up! We need to tell our Senators and Congressmen, and the President, that just because he won the election with half the country behind him, he still has the other half of the County to work with. He seems to think he can just ignore the rest of us and do what he wants. I think the people want him to work WITH Republicans, not strong arm them into submission!
We know, the first organization he has to the White House after the election, was the Union Leaders, then came the Corporate big wigs. Where was Small Business, or the Religious Leaders?. How does he plan to help the Blacks and Latinos, without reaching out to communities? He should know about Community Organizers, he got his presidential experience when he worked for Acorn!
Small Business cannot afford the costs that Corporations can, yet the rules are the same for both, and their income tax is jumping another 5-7%, Obama wants to be sure nobody has any money to fall back on, or to invest in the future, so Capital Gains taxes are doubling. If you want to leave anything to your children, well, they may get 40%, after taxes.
How do you get past the partisanship? How are 'We the People", going to work together as a "Country"? As Human Beings with a common mission? I think most people in this Country want the same basic things in life, for themselves, and their family's. So, as Kennedy asked in a speech he made, " Ask not, what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".
Washington is going to need help from us to do the right thing. Not special interest talking for us, but we as citizens, who put these people in office, and can elect them out again if they didn't do what they promised. We have to call, write, e-mail, whatever it takes to let BOTH sides have a voice.
I'm having a really hard time in trusting this administration, I don't feel he's looking out for our interests, I feel he's looking out for the Unions, Environmentalists, and himself.

FOUR MORE YEARS!!
Well, the "People", have chosen. Now what?? I watch a lot of news, from a lot of sources, and most of what I'm hearing is, "Recession." But, I'm going to one-up them and go with "Depression"!!
The EPA has issued 7,000 new regulations on Business, in the last 90 days, (Obama asked them to wait until AFTER the election to implement them). We have almost 17 Trillion dollars of debt, 27-35 Trillion in UN-funded liability, ( Pensions, Social Security, Wages,Medicare, Obama-Care, etc.) And the" People", have elected to keep all the grid-lock in Washington, in place! So, where do we go from here?
I can guarantee you, the EPA isn't done yet!! The Energy Dept. hasn't weighed in yet, and the Dept. of Human Services, well, you connect the dots. Obama wants more Teachers, and Infrastructure, (more debt). We have a house divided, and a President that thinks that "taxing the rich", is going to get him off the hook!
I don't know about YOU, but, I don't see this ending well! I hope everyone who voted for Obama is happy with the decision they made, because your stuck with your decision now, and I really pray it doesn't bite us ALL in the ass!!!
Who knows, we might get lucky!! December 21, 2012 is just a month away!!!

BEFORE OBAMA
When Obama took office gas was $1.85 a gallon! I could actually afford to drive to California to see my Kids and Grand kids! I didn't even mind going to see my in-laws! Now? I can't afford to fill my tank once a month. I have to manage all my appointments, shopping and anything else I 'think' I might need to do, so my gas last's til next payday!
Food has risen 40% since Obama took office! But, according to the Obama Administration, there's no inflation! My phone, utilities and cable have increased 20-30%. Have you looked at your bills lately? What they don't try to squeeze from your paycheck, (or lack of) they add to every item that consumers use. $10.00 in every kind of taxes, just on my Vonage phone bill! My Electric bill? The electricity itself, $109.67. But then there's delivery charge for baseline $7.75, over baseline, $44.88, lets not forget the $8.00 for being a customer! Then we have Green Energy charges $11.83, State tax, $10.49, county, RUCO, ACC assessment charges? Only $.94, so by the time they add all that, the bill is $171.62! I UN-plug everything! My air conditioner is set at 76'.
When Obama was elected it was high enough, yet it's increased about 30%, and it was on the new's today it's been approved for increases. So, tell me, Obama say's he want's an "all the above" Energy program, yet he does NOT approve the Keystone pipeline, his EPA, ( I call it his, because of the power he gave them!) put such stringent regulations on the coal industry that 8 mines have announced they are closing, which accounts for over 30% of the Electricity produced. He refuses to give out drilling permits, yet takes credit for how much oil is being drilled from permits Bush approved, and the drilling on private lands. He's given BILLIONS of $$ to Brazil for drilling there, ( George Soros Petroleum Co.) We can't forget the Billions the Energy Dept. has thrown away for Green Energy, which I might add is Congress's job! Obama has circumvented the Congress whenever he doesn't get what he wants, The Dream Act, to name just one.
It took less than 4 yrs to get here, what will he do in another 4? You can't keep blaming Republicans when you just keep going around them anyway!
