My buddy sent these to me this morning and I felt that they had to be posted here..... it really says it all!!!"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." - B. ObamaI want you to read that over and over and over. Memorize it, pass it on, quote it to your liberal friends that have no clue as to why they are voting for this guy. This election cannot be taken lightly. This guy wants to take the greatest nation in history and change it. You now know what his slogan "CHANGE" stands for. He has repedidly avoided the question of what he means by change, and the only way you will ever know where he stands is to read between the lines!! He has given you a view into the future of what his change campaign is all about, and now it is time to do something about it!!
This is a brief comparison of what will happen to your tax bill
depending on who will be the next President of the United
States.
INTERESTING DATA ON TAXES
This is something you should be aware of so you don't get blind-
sided. This is really going to catch a lot of families off guard, and
it should make you worry.
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
CAPITAL GAINS TAX:
MCCAIN- 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA- 28% on profit from ALL home sales. How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect not only the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income, but anyone desiring to sell their home and move to a new home or area, no one will be immune.
DIVIDEND TAX:
MCCAIN- 15% (no change)
OBAMA- 39.6%. How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.
INCOME TAX:
MCCAIN- (no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250
OBAMA- (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama your taxes will more than double! How does this affect you? No explanation is needed. This is pretty straight forward.
INHERITANCE TAX:
MCCAIN- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA- Restore the inheritance tax. How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will now be faced wtih losing them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA
* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least....
* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
I hope this helps to create a VERY clear picture.

Mr. Anthony Daniels (psychiatrist) writes under the pen name of Theodore Dalrymple, and has numerous quotes he has made that I find very profound. Here is one on Political Correctness:
"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."
So, Obama is embarrassed because we as a nation cannot speak Spanish.....I'm embarrassed that Obama calls himself an American and that there are those of you out there that are seriously considering giving your vote to him. I'm embarrassed that this Marxist is even being allowed to run for anything in this country, especially President. I have no desire to learn a second language so I can communicate with the illegals that are flooding our country, I want them out, why the hell would I want to talk to them, other than to say, GET OUT!! This country is based on English, and if you can't speak English, then it is not my problem. Anyone that I know who came here from another country speaks their language and English, so we have no trouble communicating. If you can't communicate with me, then you must have just come over the border illegally and maybe I should learn the phrase, "get down on the ground and put your hands behind your back." Instead of worrying about immigrants learning English, Obama told the audience, "America should be teaching its children Spanish. Every child should be bilingual." How about spreken zie dolch? You know what, for as long as I can remember, everyone is taught a second language in school, everyone. I took french in grade school, and I took Spanish in high school. I had no desire to learn either, I wasn't interested in being able to go home at night and say in Spanish to my mother, what are we having for dinner, and having her look at me with a blank stare and say, "what?" You know, I follow this clown Obama daily, watching what he says and trying to figure out what it is he really stands for, and all I can ever come up with on his "Change" platform is reading between the lines of bringing this country into Socialism. He always seems to be able to avoid the question of what the definition of change is. When I ask people why they are voting for him they say, "he's good looking" "He is a good speaker" "He wants change" "I'm tired of Bush". For the love of Pete, why can't you people see what you are getting yourselves into?? A good friend of mine actually said to me that a little socialism would be good for the country. That's a bunch of monkey muffins! The instant you allow even so much as an ounce of socialism into this country, you will be hijacked, then taken and thrown under the bus. People, what are you thinking? Where are your heads? I have given you example after example of what the democrats in this country are trying to do to us, and the sad part is, they are screwing up this country daily, and then twist it around to their benefit and blame it on the republicans, and you are stupid enough to believe it! I am beginning to wonder if anyone out there who supports this garbage knows how to read! If you knew how to read, and spent some time researching the liberals and their past and what has been going on, you would be able to figure this out all on your own. Jon Voight just came out the last week in July and made a remarkable statement against Obama, and his Marxist agenda, and if you didn't read it, I am going to add it to this post. This is a man, who admits that he was a liberal, and foolishly allowed others to lead him on, until he finally heard the dime drop and realized that he was being duped, and if you believe the liberal agenda, you are being duped as well. If you think that the liberals in this country have your best interest at heart, you are sadly mistaken. Stop listening to what the liberals are telling you, especially the likes of liberal Hollywood. They are suckers, and they are playing your for a sucker as well. Remember the old saying, misery loves company?? There are not too many people in Hollywood that have the ability to see past the liberal agenda, and for those who do, I take my hat off to you! Educate yourself before it's too late, because you can dang well be assured that I am not going to be there to save you, I will be too busy saving myself and my family and friends from the mess the liberals put us in, so you will be on your own.
Here's the post of what Jon Voight said: My Concerns For America
We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.
Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we've almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.
If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.
Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.
This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.
Dad sent this to me, and I felt it deserved to be passedon so I am posting it here on the blog for all to read. Itis a wonderful story that we all can take a lesson from....Shoes in ChurchI showered and shaved............. I adjusted my tie. I got there and sat............. In a pew just in time. Bowing my head in prayer......... As I closed my eyes. I saw the shoe of the man next to me..... Touching my own. I sighed. With plenty of room on either side...... I thought, "Why must our soles touch?" It bothered me, his shoe touching mine... But it didn't bother him much. A prayer began: "Our Father"............. I thought, "This man with the shoes, has no pride. They're dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!" "Thank You for blessings," the prayer went on. The shoe man said............... A quiet "Amen." I tried to focus on the prayer....... But my thoughts were on his shoes again. Aren't we supposed to look our best, when walking through that door? "Well, this certainly isn't it," I thought, glancing toward the floor. Then the prayer was ended........... And the songs of praise began. The shoe man was certainly loud...... Sounding proud as he sang. His voice lifted the rafters......... His hands were raised high. The Lord could surely hear. The shoe man's voice from the sky. It was time for the offering....... And what I threw in was steep. I watched as the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so deep. I saw what was pulled out.......... What the shoe man put in. Then I heard a soft "clink". As when silver hits tin. The sermon really bored me......... To tears, and that's no lie. It was the same for the shoe man... For tears fell from his eyes. At the end of the service...... As is the custom here. We must greet new visitors, and show them all good cheer. But I felt moved somehow.......... And wanted to meet the shoe man. So after the closing prayer....... I reached over and shook his hand. He was old and his skin was dark.... And his hair was truly a mess. But I thanked him for coming......... For being our guest. He said, "My names' Charlie.......... I'm glad to meet you, my friend." There were tears in his eyes....... But he had a large, wide grin. "Let me explain," he said......... Wiping tears from his eyes. "I've been coming here for months.... And you're the first to say, Hi.'" "I know that my appearance......... Is not like all the rest. But I really do try................. To always look my best." "I always clean and polish my shoes... Before my very long walk". "But by the time I get here......... They're dirty and dusty, like chalk." My heart filled with pain........... And I swallowed to hide my tears. As he continued to apologize......... For daring to sit so near He said, "When I get here........... I know I must look a sight". "But I thought if I could touch you.. Then maybe our souls might unite." I was silent for a moment........... Knowing whatever was said would pale in comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my head. "Oh, you've touched me, "I said...... And taught me, in part; That the best of any man............"Is what is found in his heart." The rest, I thought,................ This shoe man will never know. Like just how thankful I really am... That his dirty old shoe touched my soul.
It has become apparent that our Government no longer has any moral integrity. Not too long ago, the United States set the example for the entire world in regards to civil liberties and human rights. Today, we have what is called the Patriot Act that basically criminalizes free speech, allows the government to setup wiretaps without any probable cause, and even allows that people can be locked up on suspicion alone without due process or even a hearing. If you are a foreign national you can be deported for anything that is said or thought even if you are a total law abiding citizen, and you also can be kept from ever entering this country again. All this and much much more in a bill that the leaders of this country rushed to pass just 6 weeks after the towers came down. This is a bill that mocks our constitution and brings us ever closer to tyranny. The Patriot Act goes on and on and on, even so far as to give the FBI access to the books you check out at the library. It is allot to read, but if you really want to know what was done to you in the name of terrorism, you should take some time and check it out. Here is an link to Wikipedia that will give you all the info you would ever care to read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act You know....... I love this country and I always have, but sometimes, I just flat out don't recognize it anymore, and when I lay down at night and think about all this, it makes me sick to think that we are facing the idea of actually losing America. It is the duty of every Judge we have in this country to uphold and protect the Constitution and it is time to remove those who do not and replace them with honest judges who will. Just take a look at the 9th Circus Court in San Francisco, these clowns don't do anything according to the constitution, they do everything according to what they want done, period. I understand that there are things that need to be implemented to protect us from the threat of terrorism, but I also understand that if previous sitting presidents and other politicians had done the job they were elected to do, allot of this would not be happening. Your freedom is being taken bit by bit, day by day, and the day will come when it will completely evaporate if we do not wake up and take a stand, and the thing we need to do first and foremost is to replace the leaders and politicians of this country with people who will do what's right, not worrying about who they will offend or upset. This is America and we have always had rules about the way things were done but nowadays, it comes down to who might we offend if we don't do something a certain way. I read in the paper this morning about a guy who's 2 kids were taken from their house at 6 in the morning. The kids were crying and the father followed the cries to the house next door where he found the neighbor had abducted them. He proceeded to beat the crap out of him, and when his "partner" showed up in the middle of the beating, the father beat the crap out of him as well. Now, the gays are protesting at his arraignment saying that this is a hate crime because he beat up two gay guys.....Hello!!!! This guy took his children!! I don't give a rats wahoo if he is gay, black, white or from the friggen planet mars, he took the kids, if it had been me......well, lets just say that he's allot better off having taken this guys kids instead of mine!! Hate crimes are now a huge issue in this country, and they were brought on due to the Patriot Act. See where this is going???? Even in England the Tory Party has made the decision to stand up for what is right and their popularity has already grown by 22%. People are getting sick of being pushed around and it is time something is done about it. We the people have the power, but if we don't use it, we will lose it!!
