"LET THEM EAT CAKE!"

After watching and listening to our glorious leader, Barack Obama, for eight months, I am starting to understand his vision for the future. Imagine this. We will have millions of young people serving their National Service stints, working in National Soup Kitchens, feeding the hungry, unemployed - but grateful - masses a hearty broth made from the bodies of old people, who have been pragmatically allowed to die by the National Health Service, seasoned with the stems and seeds from the National Pot Farms. Think of the problems that will have been solved by this system alone! We keep the young people busy, we keep the masses fed, and numbed to their new lives, and we keep the numbers of them pesky old geezers down to an acceptable level, leaving lots and lots of money and assets available for the enjoyment of government employees and "elected officials". Oh, and for the court of our glorious leader, King Barack I!

WHAT PART OF "WE CAN'T AFFORD ALL THESE PLANS" DON'T DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND?

Let me ask everyone something. If I told you, you don't have enough money to buy a new car, and that you can't even pay for the car you already drive, or afford to make your house payment, or pay your utility bills, what would make you think it's a good idea to go out and buy a new Rolls Royce? Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, to name just some govt. programs, don't balance. We aren't paying for them. You know, they put Bernie Madoff in prison for running a Ponzi scheme? Now, before we fix any of those MONUMENTAL problems, the Democrats are trying to create a new one! Do you think that's smart? If we can't afford the ones we already have? How will that work? Money and numbers don't behave differently, just because the numbers of zeros we're talking about start multiplying, and if we'll go broke under our existing entitlement programs within a few years, adding another entitlement program will only hasten our demise. THAT is the truth. No matter what Obama or Pelosi say, politicians lie, numbers can't. The ONLY thing that they will accomplish, by creating a government run health insurance scheme is, to put millions of Americans into ANOTHER substandard health program, destroy a large portion of our economy, cost us millions of jobs, AND put a lot of money into the hands of their political supporters, just like they did with the Financial Bailout, and the Auto Bailout, and all these "Czars", and the resulting bureaucracies. Write your "representative", and ask them why they aren't volunteering to join such a system, in a short term test program, to see how it works, before they try and put the taxpayers into such a program, and bury the entire nation in more debt. Don't you test medicine, or products, before you commit to their manufacture and sale? Obama and the Democrats think you are stupid. Don't prove them correct. Let all of them know, that if they support these huge programs, you'll vote them out of THEIR job, starting next year. Spreading poverty to all Americans is NOT equality.

OBAMA AND THE LEFT

When you see and hear liberals scoff at being called socialists, communists or Marxists, stop to consider the policies they pursue, think about the old adage, about something that quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, and looks like a duck, being a duck, and remember these words.
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) wrote, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist.”

FOUNDING DOCUMENTS

Americans should take time to find and read our nation's two founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, and if they have time, the entire Constitution. As our new President and his Congress push their new agendas, it is important for all Americans to understand what our founding fathers said, and to compare Obama's vision of government with that of the people who actually created our nation. The differences are staggering, and if you stop to think that one group of people was trying to insure future generations would have the most possible future, and they tried to prevent future governments from becoming too powerful, and too intrusive, you will come to understand how out-of-line ours has become over the years, and in particular, since Obama was elected. We are in serious danger of losing our freedom, and of having our nation collapse under the weight and intrusion of this new mega-government.

Arizona Considers Plan to Opt Out of Federal Health Care

Amazing, six months in office, and Obama and his Democratic Congress have already sown the seeds of a Revolution. Uh, People, if you check your history books, you’ll find out that no empire or nation in history has been “too big to fail”. I got an idea, let the liberals have the states without oil, natural gas or coal, because they don’t believe in using those nasty things, and we’ll let them have all the illegal aliens, because they’re such an economic benefit.

A LITTLE SECRET ABOUT CARBON

Here's a little secret, for everyone who's worried about the amount of carbon in the air. If you plant a tree, or grow algae, or water your grass, or start a garden, you are recycling carbon, every time the sun rises and sets. It can't be destroyed, just like you can't get energy from nothing, and just like we can't limit the amount of heat that the earth receives. "Sequestering" carbon in bullshit. If you put carbon in the ground, and it's compressed, it will release heat into the earth. The earth's surface receives trillions of BTUs worth of energy from the sun, every year, and that's a fact. Once it gets here, it's here. Some of it warms the surface, and some of it warms the water, and some of it is collected in plant life. As plants shed their leaves, or they die, that biomass decays, and it creates heat, and it releases methane and other hydrocarbon oils, etc., and some plant materials are eaten by animals, and that produces heat, and releases methane, and carbon is stored in their bodies until they die, and then it starts again. If we were smart, we would be smarter about water, and separate more of it from salt, and use plant life to re-capture more carbon, so we could use it for fuel, and we would stop allowing politicians and bureaucrats to use a fairy tale as an excuse to rob us of our money and our freedom.

OBAMANATION - CALIFORNIANIZING THE USA

How can Americans watch and listen, as California sinks into the Pacific under the weight of a liberal Democratic government, and then fail to understand that President Obama's policies will result in EXACTLY the same future for the entire country? California got where is has because we have more government than we can afford, PERIOD. That's it! Every time a new agency or new program is created, it has built-in increases in budget, regardless of what the real - private - economy is doing. If govt. budgets grow at 5% per year, but the economy only grows at 2%, what do you think will happen to the State Budget? Yep, in 20 years, the budget (price) grows 100%, but the revenues (income) grows only 20%. So, the government borrows the difference, and it keeps doing this until it can't make the payroll and interest payments anymore, and then we arrive at 2009. GET IT? Wanna know what Obama is proposing? Oh, yeah, that health care thing, and that "Stimulus" thing, and all the nationalization of industries thing. But let me toss this in for you to consider. You know, that "Cap & Trade" thing? Well, it's going to bring in a LOT of tax money, so the government can borrow more money against your future earnings, but there's a fly in the ointment. It's going to make doing business in the US more expensive, and therefore make American products more expensive, so people will buy fewer of them. That'll make American makers of those goods lose business, and either lay-off workers, or go out of business, or move production overseas. So, for a short period of time, those businesses will pay taxes to support Obama's new big government, and you'll pay higher prices for almost everything you buy and use, but as American businesses contract, or leave, guess what's going to happen. The government's appetite for money will still go up at 5+% per year, while the business based revenues will go down, so the government will have to look to someone else as a source of their income. GUESS WHO THAT WILL BE! Don't think so? Take another peek at California, and think again.

LETTER TO THE DEMOCRATS

NO NATIONALIZED MEDICINE
NO CAP AND TRADE TAXES AND REGULATIONS
NO MORE FEDERAL ACQUISITION OF PRIVATE COMPANIES
NO MORE GUN CONTROL
NO MORE GIVING MONEY AWAY TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES
NO MORE HANDING OUT TAX MONEY TO OBAMA SUPPORTERS
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF TALK RADIO

Taxes and regulation, and too much government spending, have turned California into a business and jobs wasteland, and thereby puts us in bankruptcy.

I keep hearing how our "best and brightest" go to Washington, to run our government, but I can't see how that could possibly be.

In 1 hour, studying California alone, even someone from the public school system could figure out that the Democratic federal agenda would do nothing but re-create the "success" of California for the entire country.

Or, is that what you guys are trying to accomplish? Are you actually working for the Chinese? The Arabs? The Russians? Who is it? It certainly isn't the American people!
