So the on every internet news page the headlines read: "Carter Sites Racism In Wilson Outburst"
You know what....I am so sick of hearing the word "Racist" I could puke! Everyone, according to the Democrats, who doesn't agree with their politics and attempts to derail this country is a "Racist" and frankly, I think the award for the largest group of racists in this country goes to the Democrats! I find that people who scream the loudest about something are generally doing so because it is a major fault of their own and they feel that because they are at fault, everyone else is also!
I think Mr. Carter should take a good look in the mirror before he goes out throwing stones at others who he claims to be "Racist".
Here is a short excerpt from an article written by Julia Gorin back in 2006, I think you will find it rather interesting, as it offers a glance at Carter's public record.
First you have to read the following story for the whole thing to make sense.
The story has never been verified by Ms. Gorin but was told to her by an acquaintance from Watertown, NY, a place situated way upstate, well north of Syracuse. The acquaintance had heard it from two barflies who were there the night in 1975 that Jimmy Carter passed through town in his first New York appearance during the "250-day 1975 portion of the presidential campaign," as Carter had called it.
The story goes that after giving a speech at the Holiday Inn, Carter stopped by the Rebel Room Tavern, a bar that once existed near the old Woolworth building and catered to southern servicemen based near by. Not knowing that an employee from the local paper was present, Carter joked around with the locals and, as two of those locals related the story to my friend, "every other word out of his mouth was 'nigger' or 'kike.'" But styling itself after The New York Times, the paper didn't print undignified information about candidates it was friendly toward, and the potentially damaging tidbit never made it into print.
At least that's how the story goes.
Corroborating it isn't easy. One of the barflies is long dead, the other long lost. A call to the Watertown Historical Society confirms that Carter did pass through Watertown in 1975 (a town only slightly better known for 1976, when Joan Mondale's motorcade hit and killed a woman). Yes, there did once exist a Rebel Room Tavern near the old Woolworth and yes it served a lot of southern military. Dredging up the November 19, 1975 article that covered the evening in the Watertown Daily Times, one sees only that Carter "joined in the laughter and music at the Rebel Room." Titled "Candidate Carter: Homespun, Urbane, Sure of Himself," the gushy article reads like a PR job for the presidential hopeful, with the candidate's name opening three consecutive paragraphs.
Carter won the governorship of Georgia in 1970 via a race-baiting campaign. In his 2004 book The Real Jimmy Carter, Steven Hayward writes that Carter's campaign staff sent an anonymous mailer "to barbershops, country churches, and rural law enforcement officers containing a grainy photo of [his Democratic opponent Carl] Sanders, part owner of the Atlanta Hawks NBA franchise, at an after-game locker room victory celebration. Two black players were pouring champagne over Sanders's head. The Atlanta Constitution noted, 'In the context of the sports pages, it was a routine shot ... But in the context of this political campaign it was a dangerous smear that injected both race, alcohol, and high living into the campaign.' Carter's senior campaign aides Bill Pope, Hamilton Jordan, and Jerry Rafshoon were behind the mailing; Pope was even spotted passing out the flyers at a Ku Klux Klan rally ... The Carter campaign also produced a leaflet noting that Sanders had paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. "... Carter also implied that he met privately with the head of the States Rights Council, a white supremacist group, and campaigned in all-white private schools that were known as 'segregation academies,' where he promised that he would do 'everything' to support their existence. 'I have no trouble pitching for [George] Wallace [segregationist] votes and the black votes at the same time,' Carter told a reporter. Carter also said to another reporter, 'I can win this election without a single black vote."
Hayward goes on to cite this post-election anecdote recorded by Carter's most sympathetic biographer Peter Bourne: "'Affecting a South Georgia accent and humorously mimicking his campaign colleagues, Rafshoon would say, "We coulda won by a lot more if we'd bin able to stop Jimmah saying so many nahs things abaht nigguhs."' Carter's other senior campaign aide, Bill Pope, was even more blunt, telling the Washington Post that they had run a 'nigger campaign."
Upon getting elected governor, however, Carter shocked Georgia when he included in his inauguration speech that the time for discrimination was over. It was a race bait-and-switch, and though it was a cynical approach to victory, one can make the argument that it was the only way to win Georgia in 1970, and change it. (Sounds sort of like the "Change" campaign)
In April 1976, however, a glimpse of the old Carter shone through when he answered a question about integration issues, blurting out, "I see nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained." According to Hayward, the NY Daily News buried the quote in a jump paragraph that picked up on page 134.
Now as for the "kike" half of the rumor, Carter took a decidedly opposite approach.
How does an old-fashioned Southern Democrat say, "Damn those Jews!" in today's world and get away with it? He says, "Give Hamas a chance!" How does a bigot adapt his prejudices to the modern world? He sets his sights on Israel.
This sentence in the 1994 book Electing Jimmy Carter by campaign speechwriter Patrick Anderson reveals the general attitude of Carter's circle toward Jews: "A presidential candidate delivers two basic types of speeches: substantive and rhetorical. In the former, he goes before various interest groups-made up of Jews, teachers, farmers, whomever-and demonstrates his mastery of their issues..." Note that Anderson didn't say "Native Americans," "Hispanics" or "women," but specifically "Jews" have "interests." It's also clear from the book that Carter tended to roll his eyes at the mention of the plight of Soviet Jewry.
In 1979, according to writer Hugh Fitzgerald, while pressing Menachem Begin to make concession upon concession to Anwar Sadat, Carter erupted that he was "'sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust."
Later, in the late 1980s, notes Hayward, "Carter kept in touch with the PLO through the Carter Center's Palestinian financial backers." (Other backers include notorious Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, the Sultan of Oman, and the Saudi bin Laden Group.) The author quotes Carter biographer Douglas Brinkley: "'Carter began the long process of trying to persuade Arafat to make statements that would be regarded as responsible in the United States,'" and eventually wrote the PLO leader a long letter "outlining a speech Arafat should give for Western consumption."
When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1991, Carter wrote in the New York Times that the whole war could be avoided if only Israel would withdraw from the West Bank. Because Arafat also sided with Hussein and therefore lost financial support from other Arab leaders, Carter flew to Saudi Arabia for what Brinkley described as "essentially a fund-raising mission for the PLO."
In 2000, when Arafat walked away from an unprecedented offer by Ehud Barak and Bill Clinton, Carter said he understood Arafat, who "could not have survived politically if he had accepted." In a 2002 op-ed in the New York Times — which obliges in providing a pulpit for Carter whenever he wants to put the screws to Israel-Carter advocated that the U.S. take "more forceful action" with Israel, and wrote that Arafat "may well see the suicide attacks as one of the few ways to retaliate against his tormentors." [Emphasis added.] He then blamed Ariel Sharon for the popularity of suicide bombers, whom he described as "counterproductive."
In the same writing, Carter suggested taking away Israeli aid and establishing a legal requirement that American weapons be used by Israel "only for defensive purposes," as opposed to the Jenin terror raid — the door-to-door operation that resulted in more than 30 dead young Israeli soldiers and were a response to the Passover massacres, which Carter didn't mention. After all, today's Jew-killers are just "misguided young men and women," but withholding aid to Palestinians for electing Hamas is a "crime."
In his tireless quest to isolate Israel, Carter traveled to a Geneva conference in 2003 to help formulate a "peace plan" that columnist Charles Krauthammer described as a "suicide note" for Israel. At the end of the conference, Carter famously proclaimed, "Had I been elected to a second term, with the prestige and authority and influence and reputation I had in the region, we could have moved to a final solution." [Emphasis added.]
In a March article in the Israeli daily Haaretz, Carter wrote that the "preeminent obstacle to peace is Israel's colonization of Palestine ... Palestinians must live in peace and dignity, and permanent Israeli settlements on their land are a major obstacle to this goal." Living in peace and dignity, according to a racist, is achieved by expelling Jews.
Last month Carter closed an op-ed in USA Today by saying that peace between Israel and the Palestinians would "remove one of the major causes of international terrorism and greatly ease tensions that could precipitate a regional or even global conflict." Not only are Jews to blame for dead Jews, they are to blame for dead everyone else.
That the man finds Jews irksome is indisputable. Engaging in a more didactic and hell-sure moralizing than any Republican politician in recent memory, this bigot found an outlet in Middle East peace brokering, believing on some level that things really would be easier for the rest of humanity without Jews.
"I'm basically a redneck," Carter told reporters as he sought the redneck vote in his Georgia campaigns. But this redneck with hippie politics gives the south a bad name. He is called a humanitarian, but the worst human rights violations are those that are deliberately inflicted, and in the "Palestinian-Israeli" conflict, Israelis are the ones targeted for dismemberment and death. Carter's humanitarianism enshrouds a hatred. Then again, from a man widely summed up as having "never met a dictator he didn't like," hatred of Israel can be taken as a ringing endorsement of the Jewish State.
Carter has quoted Martin Luther King, but Dr. King would tell him what he told a student at Harvard who criticized Zionism: "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism."
The world continues to suffer from Carter's handiwork as president and beyond while he continues to sermonize at Sunday school and build habitats. There was a movement for an official congressional censure of Carter for his lifetime of achievement against American values and international security, hosted by a group called Move America Forward. In response to its petition drive for a censure, the organization received a wave of death threats and hate mail defending Carter with emails such as "Are you motherf — — — nuts, crazy, or some Jewish group?"
Today, Jimmy's son Jack wants to follow in his daddy's footsteps, and is making a run for Senator of Nevada this year. Good luck. If he wants to fill those shoes, he can start by learning how to pronounce "Jew." It begins with a 'K'.

From 46 to 47 Million People Without Health Insurance to 30 Million??
Well, all I gotta say is way to go Joe Wilson...you called it as it is. The comment "You Lie" was pretty accurate as far as I can see and I have to say, it must have really ticked you off to suddenly shout that out at Obama.....I say it was a good call!!
So, does everyone remember all the statements that have been made from Democrats, including Barack Obama himself, that 47 million Americans are without health insurance? Well, that's no longer the operative number.
On September 9, in his speech, the president introduced a new number in the health care debate. "There are now more than thirty million American citizens who cannot get coverage," the president said. But on August 10, at a town hall meeting, Obama referred to the "46, 47 million people without health insurance in our country…" And on July 23, he said, "This is not just about the 47 million Americans who don't have any health insurance at all…" What's the difference? Obama appears to be choosing his words carefully. There is a difference between Americans who "cannot get coverage" and Americans who "don't have any health insurance at all." The interesting question is why Obama has chosen to downgrade the number from 47 million to 30 million. Is it the estimated 12 to 17 million illegal immigrants who are flooding the health care system presently??? I say, look for Democrats to begin using the new figure in making the case for Obamacare....I say Joe Wilson was right!!!

New House Guidelines for Presidential Put-Downs
House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) has released a helpful, updated primer for members regarding their conduct on the floor and in committees.
Especially useful: The section on how to properly insult the executive branch in the in the chamber.
"Disgrace" and "nitwits" -- okay.
"Liar" or "sexual misconduct" -- ixnay.
Under section 370 of the House Rules and Manual it has been held that a Member could:
• refer to the government as “something hated, something oppressive.”
• refer to the President as “using legislative or judicial pork.”
• refer to a Presidential message as a “disgrace to the country.”
• refer to unnamed officials as “our half-baked nitwits handling foreign affairs.”
Likewise, it has been held that a member could not:
• call the President a “liar.”
• call the President a “hypocrite.”
• describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
• charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”
• refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
• refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”
So, the lying, dishonest, cowardly, hypocrite who is giving aid and comfort to the enemy is doing his very best to now take away our first amendment rights...freedom of speech!
Obama's Calls Kanye West a "Jackass"
Oh my gosh.....Obama's mouth is at it again!!!
So are we going to have to get Obama and West together and have a beer summit to rectify this whole mess....or is Moran going to just suddenly disappear off the planet....
Sounds like a good plot for one of the soap operas!
In what were supposed to be off-the-record comments, President Barack Hussein Obama called musician Kanye West a "jackass" because of the performer's outburst at a music awards ceremony.
The comments were mistakenly sent out via the online service Twitter by ABC News' Terry Moran, who had access to off-the-record comments Obama made while being interviewed Monday by CNBC.
"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran, a "Nightline" co-anchor, wrote Monday evening.

Fly The Flag
September 11, 2009 has come and gone for another year, and I want to urge all of you out there to continue to fly your flags. I fly mine 365 days a year in remembrance of those who have fought and died serving this country in the countless wars and skirmishes that have taken place through out history. On September 11, 2001, the towers came down due to the violence and selfishness of a people who have no regard for life or property, and the entire country came together to stand against the evil that had occurred. American flags were everywhere and the people of this country stood united. It is time to fly your flags, not just on flag day, or 9-11, but every day of the year! Unite with your neighbors and friends, show that you stand against the violence and corruption that is plaguing this country not only from the likes of Iraq and Iran, but also from within America herself. It is time for us to stand and be heard. It is time for us to take back America.
It is time America to follow the military ways of General Black Jack Pershing! Put the bastards in a pine box or send them home with their tails between their legs. No more questioning the CIA or any other intelligence agency about their actions of "water boarding" or "torcher", no more cutting our military spending, no more degrading of our military men and women, no more apologizing!! Give us a break Obama, we all know you hate this country and that you are seeking to do everything in your power to destroy her, so do us all a favor, step down, walk away and leave the country for good. Go live with your buddy Chavez and see just how long you survive.....oh and don't forget to take your family with you!!

Did Anyone Do The Math????
The Cash For Clunkers Program:
A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.
So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
They claim 700,000 vehicles were brought in – so that's 224 million gallons saved per year.
A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.
So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
They claim 700,000 vehicles were brought in – so that's 224 million gallons saved per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of unused oil.
So, 5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption.
So, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at a rate of $75 a barrell.
So, we all contributed to the spending of $3 billion to save $350 million.
So, we actually just wasted $2 billion, $650 million dollars.
So, any bets on how much the proposed government run healthcare program will cost us????

Open Letter To Obama
An open letter sent to my by my friend and guest contributor JM
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and
unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing
about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your
expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and
housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years
of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met
a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience,
thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always
blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you
refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see
America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame
America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad..
You scare me because you want to change America to a
European style country where the government sector
dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care
system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly
capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves..
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist
goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest
standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion'
tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from
challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even
consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both
omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on
everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence
the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing,
conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term
I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Write Your U.S. Senators and Congressmen....NOW!
Do as Regan said back in 1961.
Everyone needs to write to their U.S. Senators and Congressmen now!
Tell them, we want no further encroachment on our individual freedoms and liberties.
We DO NOT want socialized medicine, and they need to dismantle the Socialist steamroller that is destroying Americas freedoms!
If they write back with their typical we need to do certain things to keep this country working and to take care of its people hoopla, you write them back immediately and tell them that you believe in government economy and fiscal responsibility. Tell them that you know Government doesn't tax to get the money they need, they find a need for the money they get.
Demand the continuation of our traditional free enterprise system.
Do it people, do it today! This is not something we can put off, this is a matter of remaining free or being shoved under a dictatorship!
Obama wants to establish a civilian national security force. "We cannot concede or rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded."
He wants to take away your guns, he has said this out loud. This is nothing more than what Hitler did when he established the SS, and then the Gestapo was established to control the SS.
This is serious folks, this is not going to just go away....this is going to require everyone to fight back, or we are going to be fighting for our lives!!
If you need help finding information about your Congressmen or Senators you can go back to my June 2008 post and get the helpful information you need. Use this link:

Interview With U.S. Congressman Paul C. Broun
This is an interview Glenn Beck did with Paul Broun. The path we are on is getting more dangerous by the minute!
September 8, 2009 - 12:28 ET
US Congressman Paul C. Broun
GLENN: I want to go to U.S. representative Paul Broun. He is again raising the Specter of Democrats turning the United States of America into a totalitarian state. Congressman, how are you, sir?
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Good morning, Glenn. I tell you freedom is too precious for us to not be ever vigilant to make sure that we stay engaged to try and protect that freedom and that's all I've been doing.
GLENN: You said that Obama may be a fascist. You said that back in November and you're saying it again now?
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Well, actually what I've said is that there are a number of things that someone who wants to establish an authoritarian type of government needs to do to be able to do so one of which is to establish a national police force, a national security force. In July of July 17th of last year, Barack Obama in a speech given in Colorado went off his prepared text and said that, to quote him, quote: We cannot concede or rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded, unquote. He said we've got to have it. Then the other thing that is necessary is to institute gun control. We know that Barack Obama has historically fought for gun control. He was the board member on the Joyce Foundation in Chicago that has supported gun control groups. He has put in place those folks around him that are very ardent supporters of gun control that have said, like Justice Sotomayor and Eric Holder and others who have said that there's not an individual right to own a firearm, et cetera. And then a third thing of many that they need but these three particularly, they need to control the media. There is a tremendous adoration of Barack Obama throughout the media. And then those of us who stand up and just raise the specter of the possibility of establishing authoritarian government, then we become Alinsky'd as you and I both have probably.
GLENN: Oh, yeah.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: We both know that.
GLENN: There was a news outlet this weekend that referred to me as a terrorist. I mean REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Well, we saw the Homeland Security department say that people like you and me need to be put on a terrorist watch life. They say that Christian conservatives, pro life people, pro Second Amendment people, veterans even need to be put on a terrorist watch list. And I'm on the Homeland Security committee in the U.S. House. The secretary came and spoke to us and said that that should never have been released. Well, I guess not because it's a black eye on this administration.
GLENN: Hold on just a second. What about ELF? Didn't ELF blow up radio towers this weekend and say they were going to stop disinformation? I believe that happened in California this weekend. I believe they are the number one domestic terror group and yet they weren't mentioned in that at all. We have people that are blowing up the natural gas pipelines in Canada and yet nobody is talking about that. And I wonder why. Why did no one in the media really report, I mean really go after? They are talking about all these violent, you know, this is going to get violent at these town halls, going to be violence, violence, violence. Well, there was some violence. A guy had his finger bitten off by a supporter of Obamacare. REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: That's right. In fact, Glenn, this morning in the Athens Banner Herald the editorial talks about the possible violence at my town hall meeting. I'm sitting just one thin door away from a meeting hall where I'm holding a town hall meeting. We have had information that the Obama folks are busing people in here to disrupt our town hall meeting. So not only that but to go back to these groups, we've seen these radical environmental groups who are terrorists. We have seen the radical animal protection groups like the Animal Liberation Front and all these other groups. But not only that, within the Obama administration we see his diversity czar that he's put in the Federal Communications Commission has said that they are going to have localization in radio stations to try to shut down radio talk shows like yours, Rush Limbaugh's.
GLENN: Of course, they have to.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Yours voice and others, and give those radio stations to other entities who are going to parrot what they want to have happen. So I'm just extremely concerned about all the things that I'm seeing. We have to be ever vigilant to make sure that we do not lose freedom. I'm an original intent constitutionalist and I think the federal government should only be doing the 18 things that Article I, Section 8 says that it can do. In fact, on my website I've put forth four questions that ask myself about all legislative issues. The first, is it right. And that means does it fit the Jew day's Christian principles, the biblical principles that this nation was founded upon. Second, is it constitutional according to the original intent. Third, do we need it. And fourth, can we afford it. And all four questions have to be yes or I vote no, and I'll continue to do so. We need to stop this outrageous spending of government, we need to make sure that we don't lose your freedom. This health care bill is going to be absolutely disastrous. I've said in floor speech after floor speech that we have a steamroller of socialism being driven by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, being fueled by Barack Obama, and we've got to put a stop sign in front of that steamroller.
GLENN: You know what? I will tell you this. Congressman, I have tonight on television I'm going to show what the White House has just done with Van Jones and why it is so unbelievably dangerous. And I've been saying, and I'm going to explain it in another way tonight, how we have to be Gandalf and stand there on that bridge and say "You shall not pass!" You can't let these people there is no compromise. You can't let these people do anything for the one reason: We used to have a system where we had Democrats and Republicans. But the Democrats have been hijacked by the uber left. They have people Michael Moore was sitting in the presidential box in 2004 when I first warned about this and said you've got to get yourself away from these people.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Right.
GLENN: Because they are socialists, they are communists, they are anti capitalists. And everybody laughed at the time. And look at Michael Moore this weekend. He comes out with a statement that says capitalism is evil.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Right.
GLENN: You can't let these people in Washington make another move.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Absolutely. And that's exactly what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid believe in, also, and we've just, we're sitting in a very precarious position as a country if we don't stop this steamroller of socialism. We are going to lose our freedom, we are going to be controlled by the federal government. The system of checks and battle are going out the window. The Supreme Court and the federal court systems do not use the Constitution in its original intent in the judgments that they hand down. The congress, and Democratic and Republican administrations alike, as well as the Democratic and Republican control of congress alike, we have seen the Constitution perverted and abused tremendously and we've got to stop it.
GLENN: Congress
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: The Constitution of the United States starts with three very powerful words, we the people. And it's going to take we the people standing up and say no to this steamroller of socialism, and I really appreciate what you do in bringing forth all this information about the czars, about what's going on on the federal government, and I just praise God for you and what you've been doing on your radio and TV programs.
GLENN: Thank you, sir. Listen, I want to ask you this because there are very few people like you. Michele Bachmann is another one that's willing to step out and get, you know, just walk into the buzz saw. Are you seeing more people now in Washington that are not playing political games? I was glad to hear you say the Republicans were just as bad before well, not just as bad but they were on the same road. They betrayed as well. Are you seeing more people here in the last couple of weeks in Washington wake up or is it the same ole, same ole? REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: We've been gone for five weeks for this August district work period and so it's been five weeks. I'll go back to Washington actually from this town hall meeting today. I hope that the Republicans and Democrats alike are waking up. I'll give you a good example of George Bush being wrong and taking away our freedoms with the PATRIOT Act, which was disastrous as far as taking away freedom and giving the federal government intrusion in people's lives. And I was totally against that. The Republican congress under the leadership of George Bush for six years were big spenders. That's what the '06 and '08 elections were all about. They were just acting like Democrats, big government Republicans. We've got to change it. It's up to we the people getting activated and saying no to this steamroller of socialism, no to big government. In fact, I talked to a guy the other day and he said that the federal government has two jobs and only two: One is to make sure that we stay secure as a nation and by protecting our borders and having a strong military. And second is just get the hell out of the way so he can run his life without all the government intrusion. And that's exactly what the federal government should be doing.
GLENN: Paul Broun from Athens, Georgia. U.S. congressman. Good to hear from you. I'd love to hear what happened at your town hall meeting. If it gets ugly, let us know, will you? Thanks, congressman, appreciate it.
September 8, 2009 - 12:28 ET
US Congressman Paul C. Broun
GLENN: I want to go to U.S. representative Paul Broun. He is again raising the Specter of Democrats turning the United States of America into a totalitarian state. Congressman, how are you, sir?
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Good morning, Glenn. I tell you freedom is too precious for us to not be ever vigilant to make sure that we stay engaged to try and protect that freedom and that's all I've been doing.
GLENN: You said that Obama may be a fascist. You said that back in November and you're saying it again now?
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Well, actually what I've said is that there are a number of things that someone who wants to establish an authoritarian type of government needs to do to be able to do so one of which is to establish a national police force, a national security force. In July of July 17th of last year, Barack Obama in a speech given in Colorado went off his prepared text and said that, to quote him, quote: We cannot concede or rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded, unquote. He said we've got to have it. Then the other thing that is necessary is to institute gun control. We know that Barack Obama has historically fought for gun control. He was the board member on the Joyce Foundation in Chicago that has supported gun control groups. He has put in place those folks around him that are very ardent supporters of gun control that have said, like Justice Sotomayor and Eric Holder and others who have said that there's not an individual right to own a firearm, et cetera. And then a third thing of many that they need but these three particularly, they need to control the media. There is a tremendous adoration of Barack Obama throughout the media. And then those of us who stand up and just raise the specter of the possibility of establishing authoritarian government, then we become Alinsky'd as you and I both have probably.
GLENN: Oh, yeah.
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: We both know that.
GLENN: There was a news outlet this weekend that referred to me as a terrorist. I mean REPRESENTATIVE PAUL BROUN: Well, we saw the Homeland Security department say that people like you and me need to be put on a terrorist watch life. They say that Christian conservatives, pro life people, pro Second Amendment people, veterans even need to be put on a terrorist watch list. And I'm on the Homeland Security committee in the U.S. House. The secretary came and spoke to us and said that that should never have been released. Well, I guess not because it's a black eye on this administration.
GLENN: Hold on just a second. What about ELF? Didn't ELF blow up radio towers this weekend and say they were going to stop disinformation? I believe that happened in California this weekend. I believe they are the number one domestic terror group and yet they weren't mentioned in that at all. We have people that are blowing up the natural gas pipelines in Canada and yet nobody is talking about that. And I wonder why. Why did no one in the media really report, I mean really go after?

Open Letter To Michael Moore - Marxist Jackass
I want to bring to your attention Mr. Moore a man named Eldridge Cleaver. A man who also had the same screwed up ideals that you maintain and also persisted in shoving them down Americas throats.
Eldridge Cleaver as you know was the leader of the Black Panthers back in the 60's and ended up fleeing from the United States and spending 8 years in exile in Communist and Socialist countries. Cleaver eventually asked to be allowed to return to the United States and pay whatever penalty was due on charges pending against him. At this point in time, he and his wife were no longer atheists and they were no longer Communists. The bitter years they spent behind the iron and bamboo curtains had dispelled all the propaganda concerning "equality" and "justice" under Communism. Imagine that!! Cleaver told the press "I would rather be in jail in America than free anywhere else." He further stated "I had a chance to witness Marxism up close and in action. In my travels around the world, I saw that it wasn't working. I saw that the dictatorship of the proletarian was the last thing I wanted to have. That's when I began to see that with all of our problems in the United States, we had the best formal government in the world. We had the freest and most democratic procedure. I'm telling you after I ran into the Egyptian police and the Algerian police and the North Korean police and the Nigerian police and Idie Amin's police in Uganda, I began to miss the Oakland police."
Interesting isn't it Mr. Moore, that a man who was hell bent on changing this country and bringing Marxist ideals to replace the Capitalism that existed here in America and after spending time living that dream came to realize how wrong he had been, and to his dying day, never changed how he felt about this country and how great it was. He was only wrong about this country being democratic, as this country is a republic with a republican form of government, which is the way the forefathers set it up!
Cleaver even became a conservative Republican. He appeared at various Republican events and spoke at a California Republican State Central Committee meeting regarding his political transformation. He endorsed Ronald Regan for President in 1980 and 1984 and in 1986 Cleaver even embarked on an unsuccessful campaign to win a Republican United States Senate seat. A man far more radical than you Mr. Moore, yet he had the sense to realize his mistakes and how wrong he was in trying to bring the same Marxist values to America that you are.
At the very least, Cleaver figured things out, something I doubt you will ever have sense enough to do yourself. So my suggestion to you.....go pack your bags, then take your self righteous arrogant pompous fat ass and put them all on a plane to say North Korea or Venezuela and lets just see how long you survive!!

Today's Headlines
WASHINGTON – Americans who fail to sign up for a medical plan after health care overhaul takes effect could be hit with fines of up to $3,800, according to a new proposal circulated Tuesday by a senior Democrat. Meanwhile, on the eve of a major health care speech by President Barack Obama, a government health insurance option overwhelmingly favored by progressive Democrats appeared to be losing critically needed support.
The fines would be the stick to enforce a proposed requirement that all Americans get health insurance, much as auto coverage is now mandatory. The penalties would start at $750 a year for individuals, and $1,500 for families. Households making more than three times the federal poverty level — about $66,000 for a family of four — would face the maximum fines. For families, it would be $3,800, and for individuals, $950.
Well, it just keeps getting better and better doesn't it folks! The socialist agenda just keeps pushing harder and harder against the American citizens. You WILL have insurance, or WE will FINE you! Another case of forcing the issue....another argument that Hitler is sitting at the helm of the U.S.A. and along with his self appointed CZARS, or as I see them, SS recruits which are the Führer's "Praetorian Guard,".
Obama is now going to take his health care issues before Congress this week to try and persuade them to follow him in his efforts to nationalize yet one more industry, another obvious ploy to get them to bypass the will of the people. Gee, I know this excites me...what part of the people don't want this does he just not understand!

Gun Toting Black Man at Obama's Phoneix Appearance
This man, who would not tell reporters his name, carried an AR-15 rifle near an Aug. 17 appearance in Phoenix by President Barack Obama. Interesting how the media made such a
big fuss, then suddenly they completely shut up.....other than this picture, they never told you it was a Black man carrying the rife did they!
If this had been a white guy toting this gun around, the media would still be in a frenzy flapping their gums about the whole incident, but because he was black, they just made the whole thing go away! I wonder why!!!!!

Open Letter to Sherman Frederick Publisher of the Review-Journal
Link to the article: http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/56171937.html
To: Sherman Frederick, Sir....first and foremost, Thank you!
What you wrote in your newspaper, The Review-Journel to Harry Reid, made me proud to know that I am on the side of right in this fight to save our country and that your newspaper was willing to take on the likes of Reid, a selfish blowhard who does what he does for personal power and gain. Reid is a disgrace not only to himself, the state of Nevada, and to this country, but also to his religion which never teaches this type of behavior to anyone. He makes me sick as he parades himself up and down the boulevard acting as a self righteous hack supporting a Marxist agenda that is being shoved down the American citizens throats. Thank you for standing up for the people of Nevada and the entire country, I am proud to have people like you on my side. It is the MAJORITIES indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right and RESPONSIBILITY to reform, alter, or abolish a corrupt and inadequate government that is contrary to the purposes of protection, security, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of the American people.
I leave you with this:
"The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.....{Therefore,} whenever the legislators endeavour to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they {the officials of government} put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence. Whensoever, therefore, the legislative shall transgress this fundamental rule of society, and either by ambition, fear, folly, or corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other, and absolute power over the lives, liberties and estates of the people, by this breach of trust THEY {the government officials} FORFEIT THE POWER THE PEOPLE HAD PUT INTO THEIR HANDS....and it devolves to the people, who have a right to resume their original liberty, and ....provide for their own safety and security." John Locke
Thank you Mr. Frederick!!

Stop The Planet.......I Want To Get Off!!
Today's Headlines: Scotland frees terminally ill Lockerbie bomber
EDINBURGH, Scotland — Scotland freed the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds Thursday, letting the Libyan go home to die despite American pleas to show no mercy for the man responsible for the 1988 attack that killed 270 people.
The White House declared it "deeply" regretted the Scottish decision as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi left Greenock Prison and flew to Libya on an Airbus dispatched to Glasgow Airport, still insisting he was innocent.
Scotland's justice secretary said freeing the bomber was an expression of the Scottish people's humanity but U.S. family members of Lockerbie victims expressed outrage.
Now, I have my own opinion about this, and it is that whoever it was that released this guy is a FRIGGIN IDIOT! This guy is DYING, he has NOTHING TO LOSE! Do you honestly think that he is not capable of climbing aboard another airline, or strapping a bomb to himself and finding his way into a crowded street and BLOWING HIMSELF UP? Again, he has NOTHING TO LOSE, and some bleeding heart liberals have set this guy free upon the world to strike again!
I'm not the brightest guy on the planet, but I can sure spot stupidity when I see it! All I hope is that if there is anyone else who dies at the hands of the guy, that they will be relations of, or those who actually made the idiotic decision to let him go! Heaven help us, we are living in a world of brainless twits! Stop the planet.....I want to get off!!!

Regarding the comments of Katie Couric on those attending Town Hall Meetings....
Todays Headline: Katie Couric Blames Fear & Ignorance for Town Hall Protests.
Let me see if I can shed some light on why I think people should be angry and are very angry about what is happening to America...
The founding fathers warned against the "welfare state" where the government endeavors to take care of everyone from the cradle to the grave. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy." Confiscatory taxation and deficit spending is out of control, and you and I all know that it is immoral to pass debt from one generation to the next... and yet, every generation has struggled to pay off the national debt....until now! We are somehow in denial that this money has to be paid back....the debt will not just go away, and the current administration is spending money faster than any of us can imagine! People like Katie Couric and the likes of those who believe they are owed something for nothing are sucking the life out of this country at a rabid pace. What business does Couric have even opening her mouth about the health care bill anyway....you and I know that there is not a chance in a million that she will ever become a part of that system. She considers herself to be one of the "elite" of this country, therefore, she does not follow the standard rules or live by what the middle or low income class people have to live by. She is a fraud, and a hypocrite.
The founding fathers did everything in their power to make socialism and communism unconstitutional when writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights....so why now do we have a president who is pursuing this with all his might and undermining the Constitution at his every step? Mad? Hell yes people are mad, and they have every reason to be!
The democrats are trying to establish Ruler's Law. Authority under Ruler's Law is nearly always established by force, violence, and conquest. The people are not equal, but are divided into classes and are all looked upon as "subjects." The trust of the governmental power is from the top down, not from the people upward. The people lose their unalienable rights, or in other words, the "king giveth and the King taketh away." Government becomes the whims of men, not by the fixed rule of law which the people need in order to govern their affairs with confidence, thus eventually interpreting the laws to it's benefit, enforcing them and thus maintaining tyrannical control over the people. Under Rulers Law, the problems are always solved by issuing more edicts or laws, setting up more bureaus, harassing the people with more regulators, and charging the people for these services by continually adding to their burden of taxes, and freedom is never looked upon as a viable solution to anything. The long history of Ruler's Law is one of blood and terror ultimately causing perpetual poverty, excessive taxation, regulation and the constant existence of misery.
We don't want this and people are figuring out that this is the direction the liberals want to take this country in. That is why the people are fighting back, and those who think this is just a mob of fear or ignorance such as Couric's comments about those going into town hall meethings and trying to stop a single issue like the health care bill....well, I suggest that you had better think again!!
Let me see if I can shed some light on why I think people should be angry and are very angry about what is happening to America...
The founding fathers warned against the "welfare state" where the government endeavors to take care of everyone from the cradle to the grave. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy." Confiscatory taxation and deficit spending is out of control, and you and I all know that it is immoral to pass debt from one generation to the next... and yet, every generation has struggled to pay off the national debt....until now! We are somehow in denial that this money has to be paid back....the debt will not just go away, and the current administration is spending money faster than any of us can imagine! People like Katie Couric and the likes of those who believe they are owed something for nothing are sucking the life out of this country at a rabid pace. What business does Couric have even opening her mouth about the health care bill anyway....you and I know that there is not a chance in a million that she will ever become a part of that system. She considers herself to be one of the "elite" of this country, therefore, she does not follow the standard rules or live by what the middle or low income class people have to live by. She is a fraud, and a hypocrite.
The founding fathers did everything in their power to make socialism and communism unconstitutional when writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights....so why now do we have a president who is pursuing this with all his might and undermining the Constitution at his every step? Mad? Hell yes people are mad, and they have every reason to be!

GI Joe & Lillie by The Oak Ridge Boys
My buddy MG sent this to me, I feel it should be posted here on my blog for all to see. I still have tears in my eyes as I post this!
My heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who have fought and died for America, the freedoms we enjoy because of them, and the sacrifice of their families. God Bless Our Troops, and God Bless Amercia!
Obama's First Six Months of Accomplishments?
Have you been keeping track:
1. Offended the Queen of England.
2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.
3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.
4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.
5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia.
6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras.
7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions while they are building their nuclear weapons.
8. Gave away billions to AIG also without pre-conditions.
9. Expanded the bailouts.
10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian.
11. Doubled our national debt.
12. Announced the termination of our new missile defense system the day after North Korea launched an ICBM.
13. Released information on U.S. intelligence gathering despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four CIA directors.
14. Accepted without comment that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other nominees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat.
15. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who identified military veterans and abortion opponents as "dangers to the nation."
16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be used and instead refers to such acts as "man made disasters."
17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for America 's world leadership.
18. Told the Mexican president that the violence in their country was because of us.
19. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from the Department of Commerce.
20. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion to Cuba of a 9-year-old whose mother died trying to bring him to freedom in the United States.
21. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down three terrorists who threatened one American life and the next day announces members of the Bush administration may stand trial for "torturing" three 9/11 terrorists by pouring water up their noses.
22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers, at a cost of $328,835.00...good job at cutting spending wouldn't you say?
23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and they might be on their own with the Muslims.
24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with terrorist Hamas against Israel.
25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.
26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make American industry even less competitive while costing homeowners thousands per year.
27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn't.
Bloomberg: Daschle says, "Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them," while former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have "a duty to die." If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.
28. Has appointed over 45 Czars who answer to no one, their authority comes directly from Obama, and remain as uncontrolled as the IRS.
29. Appointed Anthony "Van" Jones, who freely admits he’s a proud San Francisco Communist with an arrest record, as the Green Jobs Czar. We now have a documented Communist in Washington, presently only one we know of, unless you add Obama to the list!
30. Claimed out loud in a Town Hall Meeting that AARP fully supports his health care bill, and AARP immediately released a statement saying that they in no way support any of Obamas health care bill and have given him no endorsement whatsoever. This was not the first lie Obama has been caught in, there have been many. Obama is a very delusional man, as was another man who came to power some years ago, you might remember him..... Adolph Hitler.

Obama's Czar Listing Update 7-26-09 45 Czars and Counting!
I brought this over from the website http://noisyroom.net a site I have added to my list of favorites that you should add to yours. This was complied by: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Thank you Terresa for your hard work and effort and to those who helped you to bring this information to the American public!
Here is the most up-to-date listing of Czars and their information:
1. Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak) Czar: Richard HolbrookeActual Title: US Envoy to Pakistan and AfghanistanPresidential Appointment Established: 2009
Duties:
He believes in the power of negotiations to bring peace and prosperity to an increasingly fractured world. But he says diplomacy will only succeed if the U.S. pursues robust relationships with allies as well as with enemies, especially in places like the Middle East. He has also opposed unilateral action by U.S. officials;
Afghanistan - Holbrooke will help Obama execute his Afghanistan plan. Obama plans to bolster American forces in Afghanistan, increase aid to Pakistan, and set strict standards for measuring progress in fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Holbrooke was one of the architects of the plan, though he has maintained a relatively low profile so far.“The exit strategy,” he told the New York Times, “includes governance, corruption, but above all, and this is the single most difficult aspect of what we are talking about today, it requires dealing with Western Pakistan;”
H.I.V. and AIDS - Holbrooke has called the rapid spread of H.I.V. and AIDS “the greatest problem we face today,” saying that the disease has destabilized governments and economies across the world.
While ambassador to the U.N., Holbrooke organized the Security Council’s first session on the diseases, a move that helped convince world leaders that AIDS was a security as well as a health problem. He has visited ten African countries and served as chief executive officer of the Global Business Council on H.I.V. and AIDS since 2000;
United Nations Reform - Holbrooke has said the U.N. should bolster its peace-keeping abilities and increase the number of staff dedicated to that effort. He has also called on the U.N. to reduce the size of the Department of Information, the organization’s press conference; and
Genocide Prevention - Holbrooke is a strong proponent of using multilateral military force to stem violence throughout the world. He has called the U.S. policy in Rwanda a terrible mistake and believes Americans should have engaged sooner.
He led the Security Council delegation to Congo in 1999 after fighting broke out in the country. It was one of the riskiest trips ever taken by U.N. officials. He also supported efforts to enforce sanctions on Angolan rebels in 2000.

1. Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak) Czar: Richard HolbrookeActual Title: US Envoy to Pakistan and AfghanistanPresidential Appointment Established: 2009
Duties:
He believes in the power of negotiations to bring peace and prosperity to an increasingly fractured world. But he says diplomacy will only succeed if the U.S. pursues robust relationships with allies as well as with enemies, especially in places like the Middle East. He has also opposed unilateral action by U.S. officials;
Afghanistan - Holbrooke will help Obama execute his Afghanistan plan. Obama plans to bolster American forces in Afghanistan, increase aid to Pakistan, and set strict standards for measuring progress in fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Holbrooke was one of the architects of the plan, though he has maintained a relatively low profile so far.“The exit strategy,” he told the New York Times, “includes governance, corruption, but above all, and this is the single most difficult aspect of what we are talking about today, it requires dealing with Western Pakistan;”
H.I.V. and AIDS - Holbrooke has called the rapid spread of H.I.V. and AIDS “the greatest problem we face today,” saying that the disease has destabilized governments and economies across the world.
While ambassador to the U.N., Holbrooke organized the Security Council’s first session on the diseases, a move that helped convince world leaders that AIDS was a security as well as a health problem. He has visited ten African countries and served as chief executive officer of the Global Business Council on H.I.V. and AIDS since 2000;
United Nations Reform - Holbrooke has said the U.N. should bolster its peace-keeping abilities and increase the number of staff dedicated to that effort. He has also called on the U.N. to reduce the size of the Department of Information, the organization’s press conference; and
Genocide Prevention - Holbrooke is a strong proponent of using multilateral military force to stem violence throughout the world. He has called the U.S. policy in Rwanda a terrible mistake and believes Americans should have engaged sooner.
He led the Security Council delegation to Congo in 1999 after fighting broke out in the country. It was one of the riskiest trips ever taken by U.N. officials. He also supported efforts to enforce sanctions on Angolan rebels in 2000.

Thanks to all those who have sent in suggestions, corrections and updates. This could not be done without all of you…
A very special thank you goes to Michelle Malkin who has done tremendous research on this and has helped me immensely. Check out her article today: Culture of Corruption: Czars of the Obama Underworld
Chavez/Socialism/Obama/America
Here is something that you might not have heard: Hugo Chavez said this past week that the hundreds of radio stations his government plans to seize for 'operating illegally' could be turned over to the Venezuelans who share his Socialist vision.
Does this sound familiar?
Maybe.... 1949 United States introduction of the fairness doctrine bill?
Are you seeing a pattern here? Chavez is taking over everything, nationalizing it by declaring that the entities are "operating illegally" in order to continue his march of socialism....the same direction Obama's America is headed, claiming that the conservative talk show hosts are making false claims, creating negativity against the administration, and thus are wanting to re-instate the fairness doctrine to shut them up!! Actually these hard working talk show folks are making it very tough for the lying, cheating, greedy, power hungry, back stabbing politicians who want nothing more than to undermine the Constitution and take away Americas freedoms!

Quotes From Ronald Regan
'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'
'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U..S. Congress.'
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'
'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'
'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'
'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'
'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it'
'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'
'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'
'If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.'

"Undocumeted Americans"
Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal
You have 2 families... "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted. "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Joe Legal... $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week = $52,000 per year.
Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal... $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week = $31,200.00 per year.
Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays for Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage ... $1000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.
Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money to be eligible for Food Stamps or Welfare so Joe Legal pays for food... $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal is now in the hole -<$4,769.00>.
Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy, which entirely pays his rent of $500.00 per month = $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays and gets a part time job after work to make ends meet.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school.
Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get free government sponsored lunches.
Joe Legal's children go home after school.
Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program which, again, is provided free of charge.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe Legal paid for them and Jose Illegal did not pay.
And I am the one questioned about my racial adjenda because I am against illegals getting into this country on a free pass.....
Did this tick you off as much as it did me??? I hope so!!

How Socialism Works
Here is the best analogy I have heard to date that will explain to you Obama's plan to spread the wealth. If you don't understand what this is telling you.....you are just too stupid and will never get it anyway!!
A teacher wants to help his class understand the subject he will be teaching the fall term at a local university about Socialism in a way that will give them a first hand understanding of what it is. He devises his plan and begins teaching his class as normal day in and day out about the concept of Socialism and it's effects on society. As the class progresses it becomes time for their first test. The tests are handed out, students completed the tests, handed them in and within a couple of days the teacher had them graded and returned them to the students. He now is ready to put his teaching idea into play. He announces to the class that he has a different way of grading in his classes, and that he works on a very special curve, different to what they might be used to. He continued that he is in the practice of taking all the scores from the tests, adding them up and averaging them out and that each student in the class would receive. In this case a B- was the average and so that is what everyone will receive as a grade on their test. Now, the students who studied and got an A on the test were immediately put out and protested the teachers moronic grading tactics. Of course the students who didn't study and got less than passing grades who now received a B- courtesy of all those who studied were perfectly happy to just ride along on the coat tails of he students who studied and get a passing grade and saying that the grading curve was a fair way to allow everyone in the class a chance to pass. Come on, what could be easier and fairer they exclaimed!!
The next time a test came along, of course those who did not study the first time around also did not study this time and thus got the same less than passing marks. The students who studied and got A's the first time around refused to study very hard this time thus the tests averaged out to only a C- but the lazy students were very happy to have a passing grade once again. By the third test, no one studied as the good students were not going to allow the lazy good for nothings who wanted a free ride to get a passing grade at their expense, thus, everyone in the class ended up with a failing grade on the test. Immediately there were accusations flying in all directions with the lazy students sharply accusing the students who put forth the necessary effort previously to get everyone a passing grade of ruining their grades and their lives thus putting them in jeopardy of failing the class. Because of what the teacher did, he put all the burden on those who were willing to work hard to get good grades allowing those who were lazy to get a free ride. At this point the teacher explained to the students that this had been part of his experiment in teaching them the workings of Socialism, and that the students who were responsible for the passing grades of the entire class would receive a full passing grade in the class, those who did not study for any of the tests relying strictly upon those would study to carry them through on a free pass would fail the class.
This explains exactly what Obama and our corrupt politicians have in store for the hard working people of United States, putting the entire burden of taking care of those who are lazy and unwilling to be a part of society putting forth the effort to work and provide for themselves and their families. Remember what that woman said on national TV after Obama won the election when asked how she felt about him getting elected? (I am so happy cause Obama is going to put free gas in my car and pay my mortgage, I helped him now he's going to help me!)Socialism is about taking what you have and giving it to those who aren't willing to get it for themselves. Obama's agenda will create exactly what the teacher created in his class, a class war. The government has for too long now allowed welfare to take the place of responsibility, it is time we change all this, it is time that we clean house and put this country back on the track to greatness, and it will never happen with the likes of Obama or his progressive liberal associates holding the reins of power.
