Hmmm....class warfare or just me me me ?
I AM FORWARDING THIS EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED TODAY.
IT REFLECTS THE FEELINGS OF A LOT OF PEOPLE
IT REFLECTS THE FEELINGS OF A LOT OF PEOPLE
I have never heard this said as plain or as well. Class war at its best.
The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff, can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.
The folks who are paying for the free stuff, want the free stuff to stop and the folks who are getting the free stuff, want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now... The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff, have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING

An Intelligent Quote--very Astute
BEST QUOTE OF THE DECADE - from the CZECH REPUBLIC
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can
understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama
Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a
depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a
mere symptom of what ails America.
Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast
confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a
multitude of fools who made him their President."

PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE ---Pinhead
PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE is owned by Peter Lewis: Who is he? Read this.
VERY IMPORTANT INFO TO PASS TO EVERYONE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
You've seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV commercials.
Well, you're about to learn the rest of the story:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE
You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the major funders of leftist causes in America.
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, a group that seems bent on destroying what's left of America's Judeo-Christian heritage.
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org and American Coming Together, two key propaganda arms of the socialist left. His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of the Obama political machine.
Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system which is targeting television shows on Fox News.
Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) that he applies to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy. He's banking on no one finding out who he is. So, STOP buying Progressive Insurance and pass this information on to all your friends.
Verify at Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/peterlewis.asp

All of a sudden I don't care for their funny commercials!
This will be an interesting turn of events .....bring it on!!
This will be an interesting turn of events if it does come to the surface.....bring it on!!
Our New Dictator May Be In Deep Trouble...with Chief Justice John Roberts, U.S. Supreme Court.According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government, a smack-down of Barack Obama by the U.S. Supreme Court may be inevitable.
Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues. Critics have complained that much, if not all of Obama's major initiatives run headlong into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government. Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling that the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads during the time of an election. The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Sam Alito, who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, 'That's not true,' when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court's ruling. As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court , even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.
Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, that is, apart from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and so on. And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.' Apparently, the Court has had enough. The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner, of course, that it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven. A ruling against Obama on any one of these important issues could potentially cripple the Administration. Such a thing would be long overdue.
First, there is ObamaCare, which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing citizens to purchase something. And no, this is not the same thing as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the
intellectually-impaired claim. The Constitution limits FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things, and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle. In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can 'opt out.'
Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This
information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut , while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii ..
And that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity, conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials, if not Obama himself, in hot water with the Court. Frankly, in the years this writer has observed politics,
nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years. Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to the jokers that populate this Administration.
In addition, the Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ suing the state of Arizona . That, too, could send the Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave, given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.
And finally, the biggie that could potentially send the entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is the latest revelation concerning the Obama-Holder Department of Justice and its refusal to pursue the New Black Panther Party. The group was caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls. A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal to pursue cases against Blacks, particularly those who are involved in radical hate-groups, such as the New Black Panthers, who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of white people and their babies. This one is a biggie that could send the entire Administration crumbling--that is, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Food for thought and a reason to defeat the gun control nannies
True story and most people will never know it.
Here’s an interesting side bar.
After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941,
They could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California
To finish what they started.
The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a
Massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River .
Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships…...
All fighting the Germans.
So, why did they not invade?
After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question.
Their answer…...
They know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them.
The world's largest army... America's hunters!
I had never thought about this....
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and
Arrived at a striking conclusion:
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin..
Allow me to restate that number.
Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth
Largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran ..
More than in France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt
With firearms, and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of
Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters All of whom have now returned home.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally
Establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone
Would comprise the largest army in the world.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.
That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.
Food for thought when next we consider gun control

Just one reason we need immigration reform
JOBS! With the United States unemployment levels nearing 10%, we can’t afford to give jobs to illegal immigrants.
According to NumbersUSA.org, around 22 million American workers who want a full-time job can’t find one. This counts the officially unemployed, those involuntarily in part-time jobs, and those who recently dropped off the official unemployment list. Just this past week, the Obama administration said they will start granting work permits to illegal immigrants. This will, obviously, negatively affect those millions of unemployed and underemployed U.S. citizens.
As to the argument that immigrants typically accept jobs Americans are unwilling to do, NumbersUSA points out that those unemployed are from all levels of job skills but a disproportionate number of those looking for work are in the lower skilled jobs that are primarily taken by foreign workers. In addition, NumbersUSA said that less than 10% of ALL foreign workers enter the country with any regard to their skills or whether the job market needs their skills.
From a personal perspective, a job doing yard work for us, typically filled by a high school student, was applied for by several adult men (and one woman) eager to find any work. Many of the applicants were looking for yet another part-time job to supplement other part-time jobs they had going. A middle aged Army vet who was unwilling to accept government hand-outs as a way to get by was eventually hired; he also has a couple of other part-time jobs.
While legal immigration has been a part of the history of the United States from the very beginning of this great nation and while immigrants have helped form our country, recent trends in the flow of immigration have changed dramatically. From 1776-1976, legal immigration averaged around 250,000 people per year. Since 1990, according to NumbersUSA, around 1 million legal immigrants a year and more than 800,000 illegal aliens a year settle permanently in the United States. The job force cannot possibly sustain this influx of workers.
Who is most affected by the increase in immigration?
- Blacks – Forty years after Congress passed Civil Rights laws, the lack of job opportunities for the Black Americans without skills is disproportionate to the general population with an unemployment rate of about 40% for black American men between the ages of 18 and 65.
- Low-skilled workers – Occupations such as those in meatpacking, dry-walling, other construction trades, and hospitality jobs that once paid decent money have collapsed into near-poverty or poverty levels with a disproportionate number of those jobs filled by foreign workers.
- Youth – The unemployment rate for Americans ages 16-17 is 34%; for Hispanic teens it is 48%; and for Black American teenagers it is 60%.
We need reform and we need it yesterday. Let your voice be heard and tell your elected officials we need immigration reform!

More of " For the little people...not for me" hype
He FLYS into an airport somewhere in the Midwest, hops into a brand new 1.1 Million $ bus, paid for by you and me, for a “bus tour” ‘around the Midwest’, and after an hour or so, gets driven back to the airport for ANOTHER FLIGHT, lands at another airport where another 1.1 Million $ brand new black bus is waiting for him… and repeats all that until his Midwest bus‘tour’ is done?? Oh yes......and THEN he FLYS to Martha's Vineyard for a 12 day vacation.......to REST UP from this campaign bus tour!
And don't forget........those brand new shiny black buses aren’t DRIVEN to the location where they meet Obama. Those buses are loaded up on one or more C-17s. Then, they are flown to the destination ahead of AirForce-1.
On this 'bus tour', the Prez will lecture the 'little people' on how they need to live within their means and cut-back! Remember when very recently Obama told that family man to GO BUY A HYBRID VAN when he said he couldn’t afford to fill up his truck????
Obama's 'carbon footprint' must be as large as most cities by now.
All of this on the taxpayer's dime.....But remember, this is NOT a campaign trip - it is "Meet with the people" trip only!
So the DNC does NOT pay a cent for all of this.
SO WE CAN CREATE MORE JOBS IN THE USA....

United States – catering to the lowest common denominator
Exceptionalism is no longer rewarded in today’s society. Instead we dummy down everything to the lowest achievement level of the participants so that no one will “feel bad.” From the feel good soccer games where scores are not kept to the classrooms where there are no failing grades, there is no incentive to do your best or even to make an effort.
The children of today are going to grow up thinking any extraordinary effort to do well is pointless. In our “feel good” society no one fails and everyone is happy.
However, in the real world, effort and achievement do matter. In business, it is those who work the hardest who are the most successful. In professional situations, it is the person who puts in the extra hours who is rewarded with promotions. Effort and ability are important in every adult situation where success is desired.
If we continue to dummy down our kids our great United States will become a Third World country.

Armed and Aware Citizen 3, Crooks 0
shared from an email friend...
Down in the West Texas town of El Paso ...............
Three armed felons crossed the U. S . border and attempted to rob an off duty El Paso police officer
(a former United States Marine) dressed in civilian clothes while he stood in front of a bank.
The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle.
However, the well prepared police officer shot all of them, killing two immediately.
The third was shot in both arms and bled to death before the ambulance arrived.
This is how much the U. S . Taxpayer would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs:
Arrest and detention for 1 night = -$6,000
Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day = -$1000
Air time for Obama to apologize in 30 minute speech$25,007,000
What it actually cost:
Four .40 rounds = $1.00
Taxpayer savings = $25,006,999.00
They Picked The Wrong Man to rob - Only in TEXAS !
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A 911 CALL IS 4 MINUTES
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A .40 S&W ROUND IS ABOUT 1225 FEET PER SECOND.

Illegal aliens dreams come true
Although the United State Congress killed the Obama Administration’s DREAM Act, the powers-that-be have found a way around that legality and thereby instituting what the Republicans are calling “backdoor amnesty.”
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Janet Napolitano has sent a letter to Senate Democrats stating that it would “enhance public safety” by focusing deportation efforts on those “who pose a threat.” DHS will now review all deportations of illegal immigrants on a case-by-case basis thus circumventing any laws designed to make sure those in the United States illegally are deported.
One of Obama’s toughest critics, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, said the move amounts to the administration implementing and immigration overhaul “via executive fiat.” Texas Republican Representative Michael McCaul said “It is just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton has instructed staff to consider 19 factors when exercising “prosecutorial discretion.” The list includes many of the factors listed in the DREAM Act that was not passed by Congress. In other words, if Congress won’t give the illegals a free pass then the President will just make an executive order.
By the way – one way to escape deportation is to pursue an education. Anyone want to guess who is probably picking up the tab for college education of those who will now get amnesty?

Okay – now it is time to go for the wrath of the Tea Party loyalists
Many in the Tea Party movement will swear allegiance to only Tea Party candidates.
First of all, without nationwide endorsements, how do we identify the Tea Party Candidates? We can only assume Tea Party IDEALS in candidates. The Republican Party has many candidates vying for the Republican Presidential nomination and many of them are claiming to hold Tea Party ideals. There is no Tea Party ticket and no true Tea Party candidate. We must each do our homework and find out who best represents those ideals we want in a presidential candidate.
Second, and this is where I will get the hate mail, even a non-Tea Party type of Republican candidate will be better than our current president. While many will swear that the only person deserving of a vote is a candidate upholding those principles of the Tea Party, in the long run, withholding a vote or voting out of spite will only insure that Barack Obama gets another four years in the White House. Considering the harm he has done to our country in the past three years, one can only imagine what devious schemes he has in store for the United States if left in power.
Primaries are important in that, hopefully, we can winnow down to the best candidates for public office. Unfortunately sometimes we don’t get the best but get what is served to us. It is necessary that we all become involved in elections, learn about candidates, campaign for the best, and encourage others to vote. And although closed primaries are restrictive (voters can only vote in primaries as registered Democrats or registered Republicans), not allowing the opposing party to chose our candidates for us is important. There have been many primary elections ‘won’ by someone running for office because they were deemed the weaker candidate and a candidate who could be beaten in a general election.
Politics is dirty. Sometimes all the candidates stink. In that case, we must hold our nose and vote for the one who is the least offensive. To sit at home and petulantly refuse to vote for anyone only allows someone like Barack Obama a win.

Free Enterprise....Some Humor
| The Haircut One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it. BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON! |

The relevancy of the Tea Party in today’s media
The Tea Party movement began in 2009 as a grassroots effort to give the power back to the people of the United States.
Since those early days of rallies, the Tea Party has grown and many Conservative politicians will seek out a Tea Party endorsement when running for office. The 2010 general elections saw a Freshman class filled with many Tea Party endorsed candidates elected to U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate; among those in that Freshman class are Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, Senator Marco Rubio from Florida, and Congressman Allen West also from Florida.
However, if one were to only listen to the Main Stream Media (MSM), one would think those who align themselves with the Tea Party are a bunch of ‘fringe element lunatics.’
Those who would like to see a Federal government more closely resembling the limited government the Founding Fathers had in mind when they drafted the United States Constitution, beg to differ. A recent poll shows registered voters who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters now stands at 22% while registered voters who define themselves as Liberal is a mere 21%.
The MSM, Liberal by nature, would like to continue to mislead the Moderate public. Today we are seeing headlines such as “Tea Party the Cause of the S&P Downgrade.” Rather than face the real problem of America’s debt (over spending), those in the MSM are blaming those folks who pay the taxes for not paying more taxes.
The Tea Party knows the Federal government (and some states) is in an out-of-control death spiral of unsustainable deficits brought on by more and more ‘big’ government programs. Many of those programs (or mandates) are liberty-robbing intrusions into our every day lives. In addition, the government has created thousands of regulations designed to undermine the entrepreneurial spirit from which this great country was born.
So what is the Tea Party? Basically it follows the same guidelines proposed by the Founding Fathers and written in the United States Constitution such as: limited federal government, individual freedoms, personal responsibility, free markets, and returning political power to the states and the people. Oh my, how radical is that?
All this brings to mind a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
Friends, keep up the fight – we are on the way to a victory!

Budget deal
It looks like a major comprise has been reached regarding the debt ceiling and the budget. Although it is not a perfect deal by far, it may be something we can live with for now.
Many very Conservatives, especially Tea Party members, are decrying the compromise as a ‘sell-out’ by those Conservatives elected to the House in 2010. However, we must remember that it takes all three elements to get anything passed: the House, the Senate, and the Executive. Only the House is controlled by Republicans (and some of them are RINOs). The Republicans were also up against the media who were slanting the news in such a way that the Republicans were looking like stubborn politicians who only wanted to “give tax breaks to big business and throw grandma off the cliff.”
For anything to move forward there was going to have to be compromise. Tea Party Republicans are being vilified but to take a stand where everyone loses is not in anyone’s best interest. There was no way the Tea Party was going to get EVERYTHING their way but they were able to take significant steps towards getting more control on an out of control government.
Rather than continuing to gripe, moan, and complain about what didn’t happen, it is time for Conservatives to step up and celebrate the small victories. It is also time to start laying the foundation for future elections, especially the rapidly approaching 2012 elections. We need to work hard to maintain control of the House and then tackle the Senate and the Executive. We need more people in the Legislative Branch like Allen West, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul. We need to work hard to make sure that Barack Obama is a one-term President. Then and only then can we truly make progress to fiscal responsibility.
