The oil in the gulf and the Obama admistration

It seems that the new buzz word with the Obama Administration is "since the first day". But, in reality they haven't done dang thing from the first day. They just play the blame game, BP should be doing this or doing that, but really they should have stopped the leak in the first 12 hrs. One small nuke,  that would have fused the well head and it would have been over before the disaster would have time to gotten worse. But, where are we now, an environmental catastrophe of Obama proportions. This is all on him, is administration and those who advise him, you can't blame Bush on this one. Though some will try, Obama will never take responsibility for any negative things that happens on his watch, only the positive things that he claim for his own, even though it may have nothing to do with anything he did.
Go Figure.

social security and the Democrat party

  Your Social Security

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts!!!
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message was removed.[9]

An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.
Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,

No longer Voluntary


2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,

Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000


3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible


4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent


5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.


Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right!

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn't so.

But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

The Illusion of government help

The government is often saying that it wants to make things fair for this group or that group. The fact is there is no one that can make things fair for anyone. Some people are in fact just stupid, dumb or ignorant. Then some people are born with high IQ's and there is nothing that the government can do to change that. Some people will work only as much as they have too, just to get by, then complain when they see someone that has more than they do. Some people will work so much, that they loose all touch with the love one they are trying to please. (I know, I was one of those people). But, nothing in life is fair, no one said it would be, and it will never be. So the next time you hear a politician claim to making someone pay their fair share, remember, the government who decides what is fair, can also put you in jail. They have the power of force on their side, no matter what you do in your personal life, you can't force anyone to do something, only the government can.
Trust in yourself, question everything, take nothing for granite and remember life ain't fair!!

New engine gets over 100 miles per gallon

What if I told you there is a new engine in the making that can get over 100mpg! It's true, but will the oil companies let it be adapted to the automobile. Just think of this, a light weight engine that produces more horsepower, up to 600, weighs less than 200lbs, and get 100 mpg, think of the possibilities. This new engine is a whole new design developed to run on all types of fuel, bio fuel, diesel, gasoline and even battery. You need to read this article for yourself click here.
This new engine if ever brought to the market could cut fuel consumption in the US by 50% and the clean burning engine would cut CO2 emissions even more. The oil companies will probably fight this tooth and nail, and like a lot of other engines developed to save money on fuel cost, will be black listed to be kept from the market place.

Yellow haze

The tune Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendrix

Yellow haze all in my brain, Lately I just can't see the same,
Yellow haze all around, I wish it would rain and wash it down.
I can't keep, my car clean, this pollen just turns it green.

I wish this pollen season was over. I am tired of supporting the drug companies buying sinus pills every week.
Can't think of much else to say. Except the pollen season in the south is terrible this year. No rain in two weeks, and the wind has made the air yellow. I feel like I need to wear a dust mask just to go out side and grill the two big steaks I just bought.
This just random thoughts on a Saturday in the North Georgia Mountain. The town is hopping with Bear on the Square activities, live music and festivals all day. Come join the fun, take a break from the political talk and give your mind a rest. Dahlonega, up GA 400 is a great little town filled with great people, glad I live here.

The Time for Action is Now

Some one has to step forward and put an end to the political warfare. The left argues with the right, the right argues with the left and the people are left somewhere in between. Spending is out of control and there is no end in sight. The political class will never do what is necessary to curb this. They are dependent on special interest to meet their desires of life long political power.
What we need is some independent thinkers that are not subjected to the whims of the political parties, left or right. We need business men and women that know what a true budget is, how to control one and willing to make the cuts no matter who it pisses off. People that have no interest in being in politics for the rest of their lives and go to DC to serve the people.
We need people that can say to the IRS, "Your time is done." Get rid of the 8000plus pages of tax codes, take the power from the IRS that only they have; your guilty until proven innocent. The IRS has the right to seize your bank account, put you in prison and deprive you of liberty and justice. If the IRS is proven wrong, they have no legal obligation to reimburse you for the time and money spent to prove it. It is a powerful system that is way to over due to be disbanded and free the American people from it's grip on society.
I don't care what we go to, the FairTax would be the best alternative, at least everyone pays, drug dealers, illegals and those out there that hide income. I would even go along with a FlatTax if I thought it could be done without still having to file papers with IRS. At least the FairTax would eliminate that part. No April the 15th to worry about anymore.
I am a small businessman that averages 8hrs a month dealing with the paperwork, and another 40hrs at the end of the year filing papers with my CPA. I have to pay a CPA to tell me how much I have to pay the IRS. What sense on any level does that make?
The only way we are going to get rid of the IRS is to get rid of the life long political class in Washington and replace them with people that have a brain and a heart. People truly dedicated to fixing the government, not just following the parties desires to keep the special interest satisfied.
Your opinions are welcome.

Can OPEC kill the economy?

If you think the housing bust was about bad loans, yes, a lot of the loans were made to low lifes that knew they could never pay the loan. But, the housing bust corresponded with what, the last rise in the prices at the pump. Most people live on a budget, when the budget is busted, it forces people to makes cut somewhere.
When gas prices hit $4.00 a gallon, not only did effect how much it cost to fill up a car, it did much more. Fuel cost increased the cost of shipping everything. Food went up, airline tickets went up and business's started to suffer. Restaurants and other establishments begin to layoff workers due to the business turn down.
When peoples disposable income began to disappear, their budgets began to get out of whack. Part of the  money they had allocated to help pay the bills started going in their tanks and to pay for the increase in grocery prices.
The economy seems to be slowly recovering now. Jobs are not readily available yet, but small business is seeing some growth, along with housing sales picking up. The American public is still vulnerable to rising gas prices, with a lot of blue collar workers dependent on independent travel to and from jobs, small increase hurt.
If OPEC decides to cut production to increase prices, who will stop them. Oil prices are on the rise again and will probably continue through the summer. This will coincide with summer travel plans with millions of Americans headed on vacation. With every price increase at the pump, they will have to cut something somewhere. One less night at the hotel, one less meal they eat out, multiply this by the amount of travelers and isn't hard to see where this is headed.
If we head into another economic turn down with the unemployment rate already at 9plus percent, around 20percent in the construction field, what happens then. Do we blame this on the financial institutes again? When prices at the pump go up the congress is quick to blame the gas companies and fail to mention the role of our foreign dependence on oil. Do we have a recourse against OPEC creating self imposed shortages, such as cutting production? Price at the pump depends on the price of a barrel of oil.

So, are we headed for another economic slow down, prices at the pump are up now over a dollar a gallon from last year, which is keeping the recovery in the slow mode. If we want to get the economy pumping again, slow down the cost at the pump.

Are all politician corrupt?

Are the politicians in DC corrupt? What ever happened to honesty and integrity? It seems like every day we read of another scandal in Washington and it doesn't apply to just one party.
I really think that there are probably some pretty good people in government, but they are the ones that you never hear about. The ones that are really trying to do good things that protect the American public are the silent ones in the background that never get any press. They go to DC to find out that its not easy to compete with the Pelosi, Reid, and radical left for change in government that will actually help the people, not burden them.
It seems that the political class that begs for TV coverage, is out there to promote their agenda with half truths and sometimes out right lies. When called out on these misleading statements that resort to name calling and trying anything they can to avoid answering the question.
I don't care which side of the political isle you are on, we the people, just want our elected representatives to be honest with us. If they would just give us the facts and not what they think we want to hear, we could decide for ourselves weather to favor or not a piece of legislation.
As in the Health Care Bill we have be mislead by both sides, the left lies about the cost and other portions of the bill that are just now coming to light. The right refuses to admit there are probably some good thing in the bill as well. It seems that no matter what, it is all just designed to keep the same people in power.
The corrupt politician will seek the spotlight to call attention to themselves in order to spread their word to the naive and the ignorant among us. They depend on the willing of the people to take what they say at face value, without question and the ability to think for themselves.
The problems lies in the fact there is no way to remove these politician other than the ballot box and as long as the people that follow them like sheep, continue to vote for the same people the same people will remain.
We have to educate people to the truth, before we can eliminate the corrupt political climate that exist in today's politics.
We need real people in DC, not career politicians. Once the average man has a voice in DC the climate may change, but until then, special interest and idealist will control the lives of all.

The list of Democrats that voted against Health Care Reform Bill

The following is a list of the Democrats that voted against the health care bill. These people have become targets of the left seeking to get them out of office. Though, many voted for different reason, the left is upset because of the fact that they didn't go along with the Obama, Pelosi plan. Never mind that some failed to support it because it didn't go far enough in their eyes. Many on this list would not support the bill because it lacked the so called public option, the entire take over of health care by the government. The fact remains, if they went against the wishes of Obama they need to be thrown out of office. This just goes to show you that, not only is the Republicans and the Tea Party in the sights of the liberal left, but anyone who fails to go along with the Obama agenda is fair game. These names came from a far left website, I won't mention the name, I refuse to give them any free advertisement.

Twits on twitter

I have been exploring different parts of Twitter for the past several day and what I have found is just plain scary. There are sites dedicated to all views and people from all walks of life. The most vile and disturbing people seem to be on one particular site RT#p2-tcot.

 These people are from the progressive left, I mean far, far, far left. They constantly spew hatred for anything that is not total agreement with their point of view. When I have tried to hold a conversation with these people they resort to name calling, blocking messages and will not accept or debate any opposing view.
Though, I am an independent thinker and usually piss people off from the left and the right,the right theocracy people especially, the venom from the left is quite disturbing. They continually degrade and insult people, especially Sarah Palin and Glen Beck. I don't know if they are afraid of them or if most them are just repeating what they hear. They never seem to address the comments made these people only attack the messenger. When they do say something that was said by Palin or Beck, they take it so far out context, that they bastardize the comment so much as to not be noteworthy.
These people are just plain scary. They seem to follow blindly down the path of misinformation put out by their social leaders, Obama, Pelosi and Reid. They question nothing, only believe what they are told and repeat the lies so much that they must believe that they are true.
I think I have had enough. They talk about racism and hatred on the right and blame social ills on everyone but their selves. They will never reach across the isle to work with opposing view, they will only whine, piss and moan when they don't get their way.
Its a sad state of affairs when people can be lead down a path of destruction and never even know it. These same people will blame everyone but their selves for their own current circumstance in life. They will depend on the government to make things right in their lives, never once admitting that they are to blame.
Since when was it OK for the government to take something from someone who earned it and give it to those who refuse to even try.
When the Democrats run everything for forty years, all they ever did was to keep social program in place to keep the down trotted coming back to the polls. With every election the promises of a cradle to grave society grew until we get to where we are today. Now, with Obama, Reid and Pelosi in charge, they have become dictators and are forcing new laws upon the people weather wanted or not. The Health Care Reform bill is just a prelude to what is to come. When they can pass a bill that over 65% of the population didn't want, it shows that their desire for control out weighs the desires of the people
The people on this twitter page are more than willing to accept the promises of social reform and government control and long as it comes from the left. If these same issues would had been on the right side of the isle, I believe that the rage over being force to purchase insurance or be fined, would be heard on every news cast night and day. They would be calling for removal of the people who went against the will of the people and voted for a law that they didn't approve of.
They say the right is full of hate?

can the states fight the health care bill?

If what is in this video is correct, there may be some issues for the federal government to worry about. The congress with it's democrats will fight all measures to repeal any portion of its social engineering law, but will the supreme court remain unbiased in its opinion and stay with the constitution?

Is America headed for a New Slavery

Slavery in American is growing. The slave owners are the Democrat congress and President Obama. They are on course to enslave million more Americans every day.
America is in the process of heading to a new form of slavery. Will the American people give up freedom for security granted by the government? With the passage of the new health care bill, we may be further down that road than ever before. This new health care bill will make new slaves out anyone wanting to access the health care in the U.S.
Slaves to the government increase with every social program that passes. We currently have slaves to the Medicare and Medicaid systems. Without these social systems in place people would have to depend on personal perseverance and charity from churches, like we used too. These people are slaves to the government bureaucracy associated to these programs. In the pass, Democrats have used promises of more benefits to gain votes. Will they revolt now, knowing that the Health care bill is going to be used gut benefits from theses systems? They have been enslaved for so long they will probably follow their master now, no matter where he leads them.
The other current form of slavery is social security. The Democrats have used this system for years to gain the votes of senior citizens. Every election cycle the Democrat candidates claim that if you don’t vote for them, the republicans will cut your social security benefits. They have been continually building the base of slaves for decades. They have used phrases like, if you elect the opposition you be eating dog food because they will take your money. The problem with this form of slavery is that the politicians on the Democrat side never tell them the truth, like the Social Security System is broke. Right now, in 2010, the government will pay out more in benefits than it collects in taxes. When Republicans offered to reform social security the Democrats fought to kill it. The youth in America will be slaves to social security in the future in the form of higher taxes to support the retiring baby boomer generation.
As government expands its power over its people, it also increases its slave base. With the health care bill set to explode the deficit in the next 10 years, more and more slaves will be created by the higher taxes that will be required to pay for it. As we move into the age of government control of every aspect of our lives, will we ever find enough people to fight slavery again?
When slavery was fought in the civil war, the republicans led the way. Does the name Abraham Lincoln ring a bell with anyone? When the civil rights movement took place in the late fifty and early sixties it was the republican party that fought to repeal segregation. The democrats wanted to keep people in their place, the main voice Democrats Robert Byrd once wrote “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels.” After the civil rights bill was enacted, the democrat found another way to adopt the black vote and enslaving them once again by promising them social benefits. Benefits such as public housing did nothing to empower the community, but enslaved them to a life of crime and desperation.
The more power we give the government to take care of our every need, the less freedom we enjoy. Will there come a time that a new exodus from slavery will take place in our society? Will the government refuse to give up its power over its people? If the vote on the health care bill is any indication, it will take a lot of change in our leadership in congress to do this. The health care bill was passed by democrats against the will of the people, the slave owners say that we don’t know what is good for us, so they passed the bill to protect us. Now to gain our confidence again the president is out making speeches to reassure everyone that everything is going to be better. The slave owner would never tell the slave the truth, starving while being free is far better than being fed as a slave.
Don’t be a slave to your government, stand up for freedom and vote for people that will let people live and dream the American Dream. Our forefathers fought freedom, it’s our turn.

Violence against Supports of the health care bill and The Way Media Covers It




The latest headlines are designed for one thing, promote the liberal agenda in the congress and Obama as the leader of the new America.
The latest headlines to make the news, is the report of threats against supporters of the health care reform bills. There seems to be a template that media is generating their new stories from. The template is to cover the threats to Democrats and ignore all threats to anybody else. The stories are designed to destroy any opposition to the health care bill and the Obama administration desire to control the health care system in America. These stories are designed for one thing, divide and concur any and all opposition. If they can associate all people against big government and Obama’s desire to change the direction of the United States, with the idiots that promote violence they can further their agenda. They will ignore any threats to anyone that doesn’t fit their template.
For example, a bullet that landed in the office of House Minority Whip Eric Cantor was the result of "random gunfire," in Richmond, Virginia. The police officers are saying that was a stray bullet falling from the sky? Would the story be the same if had been Nancy Pelosi’s office? I don’t think so.
Nor does the media report the death threats made daily to members of the opposition party. Death threats made to democrats that supported bill without a public option go unreported as well. The only threats that you hear about are the ones that come from the so called Right.
If you want the truth, you won’t find it on MSNBC or any of the Obama media, you will have to look online or possible watch Fox News for an unbiased report.
One other thing that you should know that you want hear on the news channels. The threats to talk show host such as Neil Boortz, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh among others happen on a daily basis. The threats have gone on for years, in most cases it is from people on the left that want to silent the opposition. As they say, the truth hurts.
With the networks in the pocket of the Obama and Democrat’s their objective will be to prop up and support their agenda, no matter what it takes.

Do we need a New Health Care Bill

With all the talk of the Democrat's Health Care Reform bill and the Obama signature making it law, do we another health care bill.

In a word, yes. The health care bill in its present form is a terrible bill. The implications of this bill will not even be felt until after President Obama is out of office. The economical disaster that awaits us will be so wide spread that the Great Depression will look like a walk in the park.
The latest news to come out in the press is that the government is looking at value added Tax. This is a true economic killing Tax. This will hit the working class with a vengeance. The tax will be added on top of the already high taxes we pay at our local stores. We already pay, states sales tax, gasoline taxes and many local splost taxes (special local option sale tax).
If the government was truly serious about getting the economy back on track there is two things that they should do immediately.
1. Scrap the current health care reform bill
We need a bill that encourages competition from insurance companies, go to a looser pays lawsuit system (this would eliminate thousands of frivolous lawsuits each year helping to reduce insurance cost. We also need a system that allows a patient to get a second pinon on a medical issue, paid by insurance companies, that if both doctors are in agreement to the diagnoses, the insurance would be required to pay. We need to be able to purchase the type of insurance we need, without a one size fits all policy, if you don't pregnancy insurance because you don't need it, then why have to pay for it, the same for mental illness and other things are mandated.
 2. Replace the current income tax system with the fair tax. This is not a value added tax, but a replacement for the federal income tax, social security tax and each person would be paid their entire paycheck on payday. If you want more information on the fair tax click here.
The only way to dig ourselves out of the financial hole the country is in is to make the politician quit spending money the country doesn't have. As for creating revenue for the country, the fair tax is simple the best economic vehicle to jump start all aspects of the economic engine that runs this country.
Please let your congress people know that we can't afford this health care bill and that more taxes are not the answer.

Well the truth is comming out slowly

The democrat's are letting the truth get out slowly. The truth is that things that they said were in the health care bill they just passed are not really in there, at least not yet. The truth is, according to one representative is their main goal is to control people. It just going to take a little longer to do it than they thought. This is great, just what we need, more control from our friendly government dictators.

So the dictator got his way

So Obama, the first dictator of America got his way, now what? Pelosi and the part of the Democrat's gave him the vote he wanted, I say part, because 33 members of their own party voted no. The bribes and payoffs worked to get just the 216 votes they needed. If this is what it's going to be like until the November elections, what's next for the Democrat's and their dictator leader. Will they go all out to get everything they want before they are thrown out? Will tax increases just be a matter of time? Will they issue a full out assault on the American way of life? Can they be stopped? God I hope so!

Is health care going to kill our econonmy?

Depending on who you talk to, the answer could be a realistic yes. The cost of the health care reform estimates range from 1 to 3 trillion dollars over the first ten years of it being implemented. The cold hard truth is nothing is free. The government doesn't create income, only takes it from people and redistributes it as it see fit. The socialist form government that we are headed for will never work here. The American public is a free society and it will take years to change their minds. With government education leading the way, with revised history and it's social agenda, the next generation may be more prone to give up freedom in exchange for promised security. The health care reform bill is a door being opened into governments desire for more and more power. This will not surely turn out good for anyone, at least anyone that thinks that less government is better. The cost the government projects for any program is usually wrong by a margin of 10, so if they say 900 billion figure that number to be 9trillion in ten years. Look at what they have done to social security, medicare and medicaid, if these programs are any indication of what lies ahead, God help us.
These are some interesting books that should be on every ones reading list.

Can we pay for health care and help the economy with drug law reform
