The unions, which gave not only Obama but many Democrats running for office tens of millions of dollars are now pushing for a return on their investment.

Known as the "Free Choice Act", it would prohibit secret ballots when voting if a union will or will not move in.   More likely,  it will allow union goons to threaten and intimidate those voting "NO" to a union to get them to change their vote!!!  Why else would the union be pushing for an open vote??  With the current secret ballot, management cannot intimidate employees to vote "no", nor can unions threaten employees to vote "Yes".  The ONLY reason for this is to give unions more control!!

Of course, Obama and the Dems are supporting this act.  Guess when he said "Change", he meant changing freedom for intimidation!!

While at work today, a few idiot Democrats are crying about how Bush has put us in a recession and ruined the economy.  So I played along with them.  It went something like this:

Me:  "Your're absolutely correct.  The current government has screwed is all up"!

Them:  "You got that right.  People starving and they are giving our money to the banks and next, the big 3!!!!"

Me:  "You're right again.  But only congress can spend money.  The President can't spend a dime."

Them:  "Yea!!  They are the WORST!!!"

Me:  "yes, they are the real ones that got us in this mess!  Things we're pretty good until about 2 years ago"!

Them:  "Amen"!!

Me:  "Course, you know who runs the congress don't you"?

Them:  "More damn republicans, just like Bush"!!!

Me:  BIG SMILE....  "Nope, the damn Democrats!!!!  They have for the past 2 years."

Them:  Look of disbelief!  "Really"???

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is todays Democrat!!!  All you have to do is nail them down with a few facts, and they are up that creek without the paddle!!

Arson...that is the official word on a fire that caused a million dollars worth of damage to the Church Palin attends, and was set while people were inside!!!

I'd bet it was one of those loving, wonderful, open-minded liberals, but that's just me!

Seems Patti Blagojevichm, wife of the recently arrested Illinois govenor, is also under investigation for her real estate dealings, and schemed to cash in on her husband's job and punish those who got in her way.  (Sounds like Bill and Hillary)!!!!

The B. Hussein handlers are busy trying to distance the messiah from any fallout over his relationship to Blagojevichm..

How much you want to bet this will all go away as soon an the chosen one gets into office?  How much you want to bet neither will see one day in jail???

Is he or isn't he?  I have no idea, but there is enough doubt out there to make you wonder why he continues to refuse to release his birth certificate and college admissions.

Thinking about it, if he is NOT a citizen, thinking the entire thing would "go away", he was wrong.  It won't go away until he produces documentation.  So I wondered, if he really ISN'T a citizen, it will be found out.  So what does he have to gain to keep covering this up.

The only thing I could come up with is he is stalling until the Electoral College votes on Dec 15.  After all, should it be shown before then he was NOT eligible, would the delegates still be committed to vote for him??  Not a lawyer, but I don't think so!  They could be free to vote for McCain, which the DNC would be afraid some would do.

The only other thing I can think of is he is waiting until after Jan 20th.  Again, the Dems would still control congress and the White House.  He could resign, and Biden and the Dems would still be in charge.

Why else would he refuse to end this controversy today?????  Do you think the courts should require proof?

Rumor has it (may be official by the time you read this) that Mel Martinez won't run for reelection in 2010. 

I know he lost my support (and others) when he supported the amnesty bill for illegals!! 

What Republican do you think will take his place and run?  Keller???

I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.

    
              How Long Do We Have?

 


About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the   University  of   Edinburgh  , had this to say about the fall of the  Athenian   Republic  some 2,000 years earlier:

 


' A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. '

 


' A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. '

 


' >From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. '

 


' The average age of the world ' s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years '

 


' During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:


1. from bondage to spiritual faith;

 


2. from spiritual faith to great courage;

 


3. from courage to liberty;

 


4. from liberty to abundance;

 


5. from abundance to complacency;


6. from complacency to apathy;


7. from apathy to dependence;

8. from dependence back into bondage '

 

 


Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law,   St. Paul ,   Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000  Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29


Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

 


Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million


 
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

 


Professor Olson adds: ' In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare... ' Olson believes the   United States  is now somewhere between the ' complacency and apathy ' phase of Professor Tyler ' s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation ' s population already having reached the ' governmental dependency ' phase.

 


If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal ' s and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the   USA  in fewer than five years.

Apparently there were NO problems with voting!!  I didn't see any stories on the news or the paper.  Since 2000, apparently any problems have be fixed!!!!

It's that, or the fact the Democrats won.  I wonder if the same could have been said if they lost???  Would we have seen more made up stories like we did in 200 and 2004?

OK...I know I'll be called everything from a racist to names I can't post here, but that's ok.  I've been called worse.

Anyone who has read by profile, probably knows how I feel about welfare.  Too many people take advantage or are just plain lazy.  So the question is, should those on welfare, who are NOT contributing to society, have a say in how we run things?   Should politicians promise to give those who don't contribute more and more of my money to get (buy) their votes???

Personally, I believe NO ONE should receive welfare for more than 3 years of the life!  Spread them out, take them all at once...but 3 years is MAX!!  During those 3 years, I'd propose free educational or vocational programs and daycare.  At the end of those 3 years, no more $$$!!!  You had been given your chance by society, we owe them nothing more.

Course that is never going to happen, but still, why should those who contribute nothing have a say in how things are run? 

I would also stop any ballot being printed in any language but ENGLISH!  The citizenship test is in English, therefore, you must be able to read, write and understand the language.  No excuse for not understanding a ballot in English.

OK....I've had my Saturday morning rant and now return you to your regular programing.

Congress members such as Chuck Shumer and Diane Feinstein are gitty...already planning of taking away our right of freedom of speech by talking this week about how the (Un)Fairness Doctrine will soon be put into effect.

For those not aware, the (Un)Fairness" Doctrine, like unions, had its place one time in America.  It required news stations, who use to offer a political commentary near the end of its show, to provide equal time to an opposing point of view.  In a time pre-internet, this was extremly important!!!  (Funny how the left see Fox as bias, but CNN, MSNBC etc are not).

However, in an effort to silence people like Rush, Hannity, Boortz,  Savage etc., these anti-constitutionalist have expanded it to talk shows!!! 

The main differences is talk radio is ENTERTAINMENT, NOT NEWS!!!  The left has attempted to have its own talk radio (Air America) in an open market...it failed!!!  No listeners, thus no advertisers.  Not being able to compete in an open market, they will use regulation to silence the other side.  With internet and thousands of sources to get your "NEWS",  you have options to a political commentary on your news program!  The   (Un)Fairness Doctrine  would require radio stations to PAY for the same time (out of pocket if they can't get advertising, which Air America proved they can't) for any opposing point of view!!!  Stations won't want to or be able to pay this out of pocket expense, so will eliminate all talk shows!!!!!!

Remember, the (Un)Fairness Doctrine is a REGULATION, NOT a law, by the FCC.  It has 5 members, 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats and one member appointed by the President.  As soon as that 5th member is appointed by Obama, you can bet the (Un)Fairness Doctrine will be quickly implemented by a 3-2 vote!!!!

So, when you can't compete in an open market and don't like free speech when it may talk bad about you, you use regulation to silence it!!  Welcome to the Socialist States of America!!!!!

You read it here first.  By 7 Nov 2009, the FCC will have impleted this polcy!!!! The question should be, what are Obama and the Democrats  afarid of?  What comments, opinions or truths would be so damaging that they will take away our right of freedom of speech?????

Since nothing has changed since 2000, you can once again bet that approximately 46,000 mostly Democrat "snowbirds" will vote both in Florida AND NY!!! 

It is time for a National Voting Registration!!!!  It's time to stop this blatant cheating by the Democrats!!!

Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68% are Democrats, 12% are Republicans and 16% didn't claim a party.

No questions about it...a quick google search and you will find Obama is against us from protecting ourselves!!!!!  He apparently wants US to become victims of crime or criminals ourselves!!!

You see, Obama wants to pass Federal legislation to stop states from issuing concealed weapons permits!!!  This puts my wife and I in DANGER!!!  Just look at the local news any given day.  How many murdered?  How many armed robberies?  Rapes??  Assaults???  No Walmart, CVS or Walgreens is safe, especially the parking lots at night!!

My wife and I protect ourselves against these thugs when eiither of us goes out by carring a concealed weapon, for which we have a permit!  Under Obama Law, we will no longer have that option legal.  And like many of you, I will STILL carry, making ME the criminal trying to protect MYSELF!!!

Get use to it.  If Obama gets in, this will be the first of many RIGHTS that will be taken from us!

Already referred to as a Nazi sympathizer by the Dems, now our own Fla Rep Alcee Hastings has said she is anti-black and anti-Jew because she supports the 2nd Amendment!!!! 

The Dems love to say they are against mud-slinging and name calling, but it seems they are the experts in this area!!  It's nothing more than trying to use the race card to attack Sarah Palin!!!

Were those comments out of line?  Should Rep Hastings apologize???

Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings on Wednesday warned two minority groups to beware of Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

Hastings, who is black and a Democrat, made the comment in Florida at a panel discussion hosted by the National Jewish Democratic Council. The group recently criticized Palin’s invitation to an anti-Iran rally held during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad’s visit to New York to speak before the U.N. General Assembly.

Hastings was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race.

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Hastings told the audience, which burst into laughter and applause, according to individuals present.

Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella declined to comment. The Republican Jewish Coalition strongly condemned Hastings’ statements.

“Rep. Hastings stooped to the worst kind of divisive politics yesterday,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said in a written statement. “Hastings’ unconscionable remarks do nothing but sow seeds of fear and divide people. There should be no place in our country for this sort of political discourse. We can constructively disagree on the issues without denigrating others.”

Other members of the panel were Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen, who is Jewish and represents a mostly black district; Alabama congressman Artur Davis, who is black; and Peter Edelman, a law professor at Georgetown University who was a legislative assistant to Robert Kennedy.

Davis denounced Hastings’ comments.

“Alcee Hastings is a friend and I know Alcee well enough to know that he uses provocative humor to make a point. In this instance, however, I didn’t like his comments when I heard them and they don’t sound any better reading them in print,” he said in a written statement sent to FOXNews.com.

“I have repeatedly said that while Sarah Palin’s ideology and her thin resume are legitimate issues, it is a great mistake for Democrats to ridicule her cultural roots,” Davis added. “I don’t know how many Americans strip moose, but a lot of the ones I know tote guns and the Democratic Party had better win enough of those gun toters if we are to be successful.”

Hastings, a former federal judge, was impeached and removed from the bench in 1989 for perjury and corruption. Elected to Congress in 1992, he supported Hillary Clinton during the primaries until she conceded the race.

Historically, Jews have overwhelmingly voted Democratic, but the McCain campaign is vigorously courting that constituency as Obama has fought off false Internet rumors that he is a Muslim with an anti-Jewish agenda.

Obama also came under fire in April for describing small-town Americans during a closed San Francisco fundraiser as people who are “bitter” over job losses and who “cling to their guns and religion.”

Hastings’ office and the Obama campaign did not immediately respond for this story.

If this was not so blatant and sad, it would be funny.

The liberal (CNN, MSNBC, etc) media (and their followers) loves to get those interviews with Biden and Obama so they talk about the "lack of experience" of Palin.

So why has none of them asked Obama about HIS lack of experience???  Why have not said "Senator, what have YOU run"???  "Have you ever had to do a city or state budget"?  "Have you ever been the person RESPONSIBLE (you know, the buck stops here) person???  Or "Senator, compare to McCain, you lack terribly in experience.  Are YOU ready to be President??  You're not a heartbeat a way...YOU would be in charge.  What experience do YOU have to prepare you compared to McCain OR Palin"???????

Once again, the bias of the media continues....  there's a surprise!!

Born and raised in Tampa, I'm a 5th generation Fla Native and proud of it! My mom raised 6 of us by herself, in a time long before welfare and food stamps. She worked 3 jobs, which is probably where I learned my work ethic and my distain for people who are too lazy to work and "expect" their welfare checks and food stamps year after year, generation after generation! I spent over 20 years in the Air Force, going in during Viet Nam and leaving after Gulf 1, and have a son currently in the Army preparing for deployment to Iraq. The loves of my life are my wife, kids, grandkids and the Harley (not necessarily in that order, but don't tell the wife, kids or grandkids)!! When not working on my second "career", I ride with a group called the Patriot Guard (patriotguard.org), attending the funerals of our heros who gave their lives for our freedoms. Most in our organization use our "personal days" or "without pay" to attend with permission of the family, and are proud to do it!! This group started because of people such as those at Westboro Baptist "Church" who began protesting these funerals with signs such as "thank God for dead soliders". NEVER AGAIN!!! Yep, I'm a right wing, conservative redneck. I don't like people using abortion as birth control. I think the ACLU is the worst thing that ever happened to this great country. I think 99% of the lawyers give the rest of them a bad name. I promise that if you come into my house in the middle of the night you will be carried out and buried. I think no one should be on welfare for more than 2 years during their life I don't think I should have to pay to support your kids fathered by someone whose name you don't know. I think every county should have a jail just like the Sheriff in Maricopa County AZ with tents and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don't care if what i say offends you. I think illegals should be put on a bus and taken back across the boarder. I don't think I should have to press 1 for English. I think you have the right to burn our flag, but I promise you won't be successful if I'm around and don't care if I get sent to jail while your left-wing, liberal, Michael Moore, Rosie, Alec Baldwin America haters cheer!!!! I will PROUDLY go to jail to protect HER!!! If we disagree here, that's fine. You have to right to be wrong. I don't take it personal and hope you don't either. Land of the free, BECAUSE of the brave...
