Life's Inanities and Ironies

President Obama Continues to Ignore Reality … and so do his followers. In his State of the Union, the president barely touched on the issue that galvanized the nation against his Administration — illegal immigration. And when he did mention it, he got it all wrong. The President: “Now, I strongly believe that we should take on, once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration. I am prepared to work with Republicans and Democrats to protect our borders, enforce our laws and address the millions of undocumented workers who are now living in the shadows.” That was it. That’s all he had to offer. He’s going to “take on… the issue of illegal immigration“. Obama chooses his words carefully. He didn’t say he was going to stop illegal immigration, did he? Then he said he was ”prepared to work with Republicans and Democrats to protect our borders.” That’s a far cry from sealing our borders to terrorists, drug smugglers and illegal aliens, isn’t it? Then he said he would “address the m...

There is very important, one-of-a-kind, information enclosed below about Mr. Obama and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wanting to control YOUR Internet freedoms. Please read every word to understand the totality of this threat to your freedoms. Thank you, Barack Obama has a "Christmas surprise" for the American people. It's based upon the FCC's self-imposed December 21 deadline to implement new Internet rules. Via the FCC, Mr. Obama wants to take control of the Internet---YOUR Internet---your ability to contact your friends, your relatives, and your elected representatives in government. This "stealth" use of new rules and regulations will sneak up on us just before Christmas. Quite frankly, not too many people know about this; or really take the notion seriously, because, after all, we have the 1st Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to protect us. Right? Wrong! The FCC is ready to add the Internet to its "portfolio" of regulated indus...

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president. Dear President Obama, My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country. One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direc...

This brings it VERY clear that Congressman Joe Wilson was right from the get go. Mr Obama based on HR 3962 and the sister bill in the Senate there is no doubt in my mind that you ARE a liar. Nearly EVERYTHING you've told the people, in your defense of the healthcare bill, has been a layer of BS that has not been seen out of the White House since the Nixon years. The Government has no business in healthcare, insurance or most any other aspect of the private business sector and I demand as a citizen of these United States that you back off and follow your role as defined by the Constitution. Go ahead and make sure my name is spelled correctly on that list being compiled over @ Whitehouse.gov From the Nancy Pelosi's H.R. 3962 could be voted on as soon as Thursday this week. Eagle Forum has scoured the pages and found it contains the following provisions: Permits federal taxpayer funding of abortion services, above and beyond the status quo of current law. ...

Not a day goes by without talk of the Federal Reserve, whether by the organization itself or by its opponents. An incessant cheerleader of his organization, Chairman Ben Bernanke will be the first to tell you that the Federal Reserve is an utmost necessity to the smooth operation of the U.S. financial system. Some would disagree. And while ongoing events can be difficult to objectively examine, hindsight is usually much more prescient. Let's set aside what The Fed says for a moment and examine what it actually does. * From 1776 to 1912 (136 years), the value of the dollar, relative to the Consumer Price Index, increased by 11%. A dollar could buy 11% more goods in 1912 than in 1776. Thus, if in 1776, you sat on your savings pile of $1,000,000 for 136 years, it would then be worth $1,110,000 in purchasing power (it will have appreciated in value by 11%). A loaf of bread for Thomas Jefferson cost the same as a loaf of bread for Lincoln 50 years later and again the same for J.P. M...

I think the main problem the left is having with ObamaCare is that they have treated it like an ad campaign, seeing the bill as a product to sell to the public. But they have not addressed the fundamental problems with the product they are trying to sell. ObamaCare is the Microsoft Vista of government programs. The government is claiming it will solve all your problems and make your life perfect forever. But consumers see it as just another bloated program that will screw up everything that’s working fine right now. The Government is also like Microsoft in that it’s become so pervasive, you can’t get away from it. Also like Microsoft, because of their exposure to the product, the public is broadly aware of its flaws. And both Microsoft and the Government are noted for Bloatware and indifference to the buying public. The left are ill-equipped to handle this particular marketing campaign, because the Democrats have been lying and using euphemisms for so long, it’s left them with zero pub...

“The two enemies of the people are government and criminals, so let us tie the first one down with the chains of the constitution, so the first will not become the legalized version of the second.” Thomas Jefferson We have not heeded the wise counsel and admonitions of one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson and we have allowed the government to become the criminal. It’s not Mr.Obama’s job to provide or find you a job. It’s not Mr.Obama’s job to pay you when you don’t have one. It is not Mr.Obama’s job to hold your hand when you are down. It certainly isn’t Mr.Obama’s job to provide you with health care, Medicare, Medicaid, social security, welfare or student loans, nor is it his job to force you into vaccinations for alleged world pandemics. We are Americans. We are supposed to be able to hold our own heads up. We are supposed to be our own salvation. That’s what separates us from the rest of the people of the world. We are a can do country, or were until we succumbed ...
