HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

North Korea

Today, the North Koreans shelled a South Korean island with civilians living on it. People are speculating what the US will do about it beyond lip service and platitudes, and the answer is: NOTHING! I hate to tell you good folks, but we cannot and will not do anything about North Korea, or any other nation in the world unless they attack this country directly, and even then with who we have as president, I doubt we would retaliate. The reason we cannot and will not do anything is this: WE ARE NO LONGER A SUPERPOWER! I know that hurts, and I know that shocks, but we are no longer a superpower. China is the world's sole superpower now. The United States stopped being a superpower for probably the past 5 years at least and to prove what I'm saying is correct, look at where just about everything you buy at WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes, or any shopping mall is made: CHINA! The People's Republic has almost 2 billion people living in it. 2 billion Communist slave laborers which is the reason why American manufacturers have closed factories in the US and moved them to China. Cheap slave labor. That and the fact that China holds all our debt, which makes it next to impossible for American made products to compete internationally. This may seem like a huge digression from North Korea, but it isn't. Here's how the two tie together. We, the United States of America no longer have the economic or military trump cards to hang over the world's head anymore. If we threaten action against North Korea, Kim Jong (mentally) Il will laugh at us and China will say, "America? SHUT UP! You're not going to take any kind of action against North Korea or anyone else unless we (China) give you permission to do so."  Because China holds all our debt, they theoretically have the power to do that. Let's face it everybody, we are no longer the world's sole superpower. We are no longer even a second rate power. And as far as I'm concerned, we brought it on ourselves. Pretty soon it's going to get to be questionable if we can protect our own security, let alone defend any other nation. And as far as being the world's policeman forget it. This may be the tipping point folks, this may be the start of the "times that try men's souls."

NO! On Fred Upton

A message to the incoming Republicans, whatever you do when you get sworn in at the House of Representatives, if you do nothing else DO NOT APPOINT FRED UPTON AS CHAIRMAN OF THE ENERGY COMMITTEE!!!!! Fred Upton was instrumental in getting incandescent light bulbs banned starting in 2012! Please, I beg you do not appoint this man to ANY committee chairmanships whatsoever! You Republicans were elected to roll back an increasingly intrusive federal government. If you choose to appoint this man to a committee chairmanship, especially to the energy committee of all things, then you will have totally lost credibility with myself and millions of other Americans. Always remember, WE ARE AWAKE NOW! WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU DO! We elected you to roll back the things that Progressives like Upton voted into law, namely the banning of incandescent light bulbs, which as far as I and most people are concerned, IT'S NONE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSINESS WHAT KIND OF LIGHT BULBS I OR ANYONE ELSE USE!!! And stop trying to artificially increase energy prices in order to force WE THE PEOPLE  to use products we may not like or want. Remember this incoming House Republicans, I'M GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOU!!!! Myself and millions of others are going to keep an eye on you, wer're awake now and we're watching!

Congrats to the Republicans, DON"T SCREW IT UP!"

Congratulations to the GOP for their tremendous win last night November 2, 2010. Sixty seats in the House of Representatives are now in Conservative/Republican hands, possibly more once all the votes are counted, and the gap between the Dems and the GOP  in the Senate has been significantly narrowed. Now that the GOP has the House in their hands I have this to say: DON'T SCREW IT UP! Don't make the same mistakes you made from 1994 to 2006. And above all, DO NOT "GO ALONG TO GET ALONG" WITH THE OBAMANATION OR ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT!(Progressive) The message is this: No Retreat, No Surrender, No Compromise. We did not elect you to compromise with the enemy, or go along to get along with the enemy. John Boehner has already talked about repealing Obamacare, which is a step in the right direction. I know, I know, the Conservatives do not have the votes to override an Obama veto, but they can keep proposing the legislation, and keep casting Obama in a very bad light as he keeps vetoing it, and  going against the will of the American people. Also, since the House controls the government's purse strings, they can also de-fund Obamacare along with any other program, depending on who's in charge of the Ways and Means Committee. Another item is making the Bush tax cuts permanent, which is another great idea. The bottom line (God I hate that phrase!)  is this: To all Republicans who were elected last night, We The People are sick and tired of being told it is our "patriotic duty" to pay tribute (taxes) to an increasingly intrusive federal government, we are sick and tired of being told that we're racists because we want to keep our borders secure, we are sick of being told that we're stupid when we say we don't want the government running healthcare, we are fed up with being told that we don't know what's good for us when we say we don't want the government running our schools, we are sick of hearing true patriotism being called "jingoism,"
we are tired of our values being impugned, and our way of life being blamed for "global warming." Compromising, backing down, going along to get along are not options this time around, for if you do any or all of those things, there may not be a Republican party in 2012. Like the title says: Congrats Republicans, DON'T SCREW IT UP!

How Did Jefferson Know? (from an email)

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the
brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to
gather at one time in the White House with the exception of
when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson




The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson




It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson




I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson



My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.
Thomas Jefferson




No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson




The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson




The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson




To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson




Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'

For Our Favorite Gal From Hanoi

Heartwarming
After more than 40 years...the Vietnam Veterans of the United States of America raised a phenomenal amount of money to memorialize another one of Hollywood's American citizens



This memorial says it all!
I get teary eyed when I see this.

She went out of her way to aid and abet the enemy and congratulate them on their treatment of U.S. POW'

The Witch and the Communist

Isn't amazing how the Dems are trying to derail Christine O'Donnell over something she did when she was in high school? Look at the "dabbling" the left wing has been involved in since, well since the early 1900s at least. Let's also take a look at her opponent, Chris Coons, a self-proclaimed Marxist aka Communist. If I was Christine O'Donnell, I would hammer on the fact that her opponent is a Communist and also state that we already have one in the Senate name of Bernie Sanders. So, my take is this; a choice between a "witch" or a Communist. I pick the "witch".
