Obama looks to our children to save him (a posting from "Vision to America")

I could not help myself; I had to add this to demonstrate just how he intends to finish his destruction of our America. He is losing those out of school, so he goes to the students, taught by radical liberal professors and teachers in hopes they will rescue him, so that he can continue his path of destruction. There is no end to what he will do to finish and achieve his flawed agenda. God help our kids, they are really in trouble, and they are being taught no to listen to us, their parents, but to defy our values and take on his. If we love them, and I know we do, we will do all we can to show them the way back to who we are, and will always be, "We the People", the defenders of our nation and constitution. We must not let them down; we must at the very least try, and hope it is not too late!

Obama gets warm reception from Facebook crowd
By Sara Jerome - 04/20/11 06:59 PM ET

President Obama took his re-election pitch to Silicon Valley Wednesday in an event at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.

Billed as a town hall meeting, and set up as an interview with questions culled from the users of Facebook, the event became more of a rally, with Obama winning generous applause from the crowd of Facebook employees and admiration from the star-struck host, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

"Sorry, I'm kind of nervous," Zuckerberg said. "We have the President of the United States here."


Obama defended his economic agenda to ovations from an audience sporting a number of prominent Democratic allies, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and California Reps. Anna Eshoo, Mike Honda and John Garamendi.

The president skewered the Republicans for their budget proposal that, he said, would harm Americans who are most vulnerable. He reiterated his call to raise taxes on the nation’s top earners, a plan which billionaire Zuckerberg assessed with a nonchalant endorsement.

"I'm cool with that," Zuckerberg said.

Obama strongly criticized House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) proposal to curb entitlement spending, which he characterized as an attack on the Americans most in need.

"I don't think it’s particularly courageous," Obama said. "Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of the people who are poor….and don't have lobbyists and don't have clout."

The event was consciously geared toward younger voters, with Obama commending Facebook for "revolutionizing how people get information and how they connect with one another."

He made self-effacing references to his age, noting that many of the viewers streaming the event at home "were still in diapers" during the economic boom times of the Clinton era. He said young people should get involved in the election and encouraged them not to be "frustrated" by the bickering in Washington.

"Especially the young people here, the younger generation…you're going to be the ones to live with the consequences," Obama said.

He also pitched the Silicon Valley set on policies aimed at invigorating a high-tech economy.

To applause, he touted the need for high-tech visas because "we can't find enough computer scientists" and called for a boost to math and science education, particularly for girls and minorities.

Obama said he wanted people to feel the kind of enthusiasm for the next big high-tech breakthroughs as people once felt regarding the nation’s lunar missions.

For the tech community, Obama’s relationship with Zuckerberg, a celebrity in his own right, was on display as much as the campaign promises.

Obama patted himself on the back for inspiring the social networking CEO to ditch his trademark hoodie for a jacket and tie.

"I'm proud of that," Obama said.

Obama also said he noticed Zuckerberg sweating at a dinner of tech mavens earlier this year.

"You're a lot better at this stuff than me," Zuckerberg acknowledged.

To cap the event, Zuckerberg presented Obama with a Facebook souvenir: a hoodie similar to his own.

"This is a high-fashion statement right here," Obama said.

Comments (76)PAGE 12 ... 45>This quote came from the Czech Republic:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a 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, who is, after all, merely a fool. It
is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

@Invictus - I've always suspected Republicans worship the opinions of Czechoslovakian s. When do you plan to move there? By the way I just got an email from the Czech Republic. It seems a Czech guy of noble descent is offering a chance to buy shares in a diamond mine in Africa. It's a rare and one time offer, I'll forward it to you. Just send him the $$, you'll be rich!!

Obama is still banking that the youth are stupid. Little does he know the youth sees there are no job opportunities outside of McDonald's that are waiting for them. They also realize that he is pissing away their future with his insane spending. These kids aren't dumb, but don't tell Obama that.

He can't connect with this group, because he talks down on them These kids are smart and they can rat out a fake in a second. His gig with this group is over. He needs to try to focus on talking down to 1st graders.

LIAMD2- Ha ha ha. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg has no responsibilites and pays no taxes. Just another stupid young person.

At some point the media is going to say "Hey, this Obama fella is sure tuned into the electronic media. But when you listen to what he says, he makes no sense whatsoever."

Are we up for the task?

November 2008 this country elected not only a “Progressive” but an outright Marxist, Socialist, radical, to the highest office of this land, “President of the United States of America.” In January of 2009 this man who should have been not only proud, but incredibly happy, that he won the trust and loyalty of the greatest nation in the world. A nation blessed by God, and preserved by the blood of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americas finest, her greatest treasure, our protectors and defenders of “We the People” as well as the “Constitution,” that our heroic and patriotic forefathers provided us, to guide how we are governed. Still, today we send our young men and women off to defend “Freedom” for not only “We the People,” but the world. For most of our existence as a nation the world looked to the United States as “The peace keepers” of the world, and in times of crises, their savior, providing food, shelter, and American Patriots, who always were ready to respond to their aid, always. But, the days of trust, respect, and hope for the world, one man, and those who follow him, destroyed what over two hundred years of sacrificing our heroes, ended that. The saddest thing of all is that instead of taking the trust we lent to this man, he surrendered to his own ambitions, greed, and need for power at a level none of us could ever have imagined.

Although it is true that America was in trouble and needed a fix, but I doubt any of us could have imagined that the man who would be our current President, even though he promised all of us, transform America, redistribute the wealth, take away what makes us great, and with what was then a “Progressive” congress, House and Senate, destroy the dignity of a proud America! Thank God in 2010 America restored part of the balance and elected a more conservative “House,” took away some of the clout in the Senate, but not before much of the damage was done! While our “Liberal” congress worked on the President’s “Health Care” obomination, one that would lead to the collapse of our economy, our President would go on his “apology” tour, telling each of our enemies, and all of our friends, how horrible we were as a nation, and how he would heal the differences by betraying our friends and developing a sick relationship with those who only wanted to destroy us as a nation, our enemies, or foes, and it would not be long before, due to his lack of leadership in the world, the once fairly stable countries that surrounded Israel, would charge into turmoil and unstable, explosive, world of the radical Muslims. Why none in Congress sees where he is taking us and challenges the direction is a mystery to me. While Americans loyal to our Christian Conservative values rose to declare enough, this man ignored the masses and continued his promise to “Socialize” America. But the voice of America continued to say, no scream, “Enough,” and arm in arm, in a nonviolent way, voiced their promise to fight for the America we all once knew and love. As “We the People” challenged the “Progressives” in Congress and White House, the “Liberal Left” rose through the “Unions” socialists and progressives would demonstrate their clear intent to put a halt to our stand and use violence and the true “Ugly Americans” who hated the Christian Conservatives values, would show their real face. Keeping to our values will be difficult in the coming days and we must not allow anything to derail us from who we are and where we want to go in restoring the real honor of this great country.

And now finally, our triple A status has been put at risk, and even England, after losing it, was able regain it by demonstrating their will to change, change by cutting “Spending!”, something this President and “Progressives” in congress have shown no desire to do the same, instead, they want to increase spending and finish what they started, destroy our economy and make us a third world nation, more “equal” to the rest of the third world nations, by redistribution of our wealth to theirs. One example would be giving billions of dollars, our tax dollars, dollars we don’t have for ourselves, to Brazil, and for what, to drill for oil, even drill in deep water in the Gulf! Go figure! One would have to be “blind” not to see that there is a clear effort to bring us down, destroy our economy, Socialize America, and destroy our credibility as other nations in trouble are working to do what our “Leader” refuses to do, and that is cut spending, wasting money we don’t have, only to finish what he started, confident that he will! The sadder thing is that the “Progressives” are attacking who we are by changing the minds of our youth, from college down to grade school. Using our “Teachers” to transform our next generations into mindless robots encouraged to challenge their parents and take them to task for not being “Liberal” enough. Using the schools, just as “Nikita Khrushchev”, of the once communist Soviet Union, promised they, the communists, would do, without firing a single shot. They would do it through our schools, our “churches” as well as our “Labor Unions,” and even through our own government elected officials! That was back in the 50’s and as America laughed, the stage was set for the destruction of the “American Way.” I told my two sons as they grew up that there would be this effort and not allow anyone to influence their Christian Conservative Values or Convictions! One son became a soldier (in the same Intelligence field of his father, that would be me, or his uncles, who all chose that route to defend our nation) while the other, obtaining his Masters in the state of Connecticut, would become a teacher, and witnessed for himself the predicted changes taking place. Sadly he passed away at only thirty six years and his short life prevented him from trying to influence those he taught from falling prey to the increasing numbers of “Progressives” who would become our children’s “teachers” who would contribute to what “Nikita Khrushchev,” promised that day at the United Nations, so many years ago.

And with so much national debt, wild spending, the worst leadership ever from our Congress or White House, how could we change what appears to be unchangeable? The answer sounds easy, but will be the most difficult challenge this generation will ever face! It will take you and I, our friends, our neighbors, and those we elect into office at all levels, from “City” to “Federal” to meet that challenge, a challenge should we fail to take on with a fearless conviction, not only our country, but the world will never be the same. Nothing we grew up respecting, believing in, other than the God who blessed us, will be something we recognize, nothing we want to recognize. So we have a challenge, one that not only must be taken seriously, but one that we must resolve, and deep in my heart I trust, with God as our hope, you and I, who make up “We the People” will not only take on those against us, but if not sooner, as we go to the election stations in Nov of 2012, our voices will be translated into our votes and the beginning of the end will lead us to a victory, placing strong Christian Conservatives into office, not only in Congress, House and Senate, but the White House! It will not be easy as during the primaries we will be somewhat divided as to whom we want to lead us back to who we want to be. But when it is time for the General elections, if we are not united and back whoever has been selected to run against “Obama,” then he will be back in and will finish what he has started, and that will not be a good thing. We will only have one chance at this, and we cannot fight over single issues, but must stand with “our” candidate, the one nominated to take on the one man who wants more than anything else, to bring us down, destroy who we are, something we cannot allow to happen. For example, yesterday John Bolton, who hinted yesterday on Fox News, that he just might consider run for President, would be my first choice, probably not many of yours I suspect.

A little background on this incredible patriot, although a controversial proponent of “hard-line U.S. security policies, who briefly served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush. He currently is a senior fellow at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Bolton often equates diplomacy with weakness and indecisiveness, and has suggested Israel should consider attacking Iran with nuclear weapons! Because of his extreme militarist views, Bolton is being considered a potential 2012 presidential contender by some, like me, and other “hawkish” conservatives. When asked on a September 2010 Fox News show if he would consider running, Bolton responded he is “not saying no” and that nobody “involved with politics should worry about that until after elections this fall, and it appears that he is leaning towards jumping from the frying pan into the fire, something I hope he does, at least so that I can get to see more of who he is and if I am right, would be a strong, pro-military, candidate, something I could support as that is who I am, after all, my whole family comes from a military background and if not for the military, we would not be the nation we want back. But, that’s just me!

Lies will be flowing from the Progressives as their hero “Obama,” shares in their lies, as he makes his run for reelection. But, should he run and fail to make it through the primaries, I will be supporting fully any strong Christian conservative chosen by the people, “We the People” and I hope that you will do the same, for we must be united to defeat our country’s worst enemy, the current President! The question will be throughout this election period will be, “Are we up to the task?” If we don’t think we are, than I strongly suggest that our prayers are not only for our country, but what lay ahead for those of us who are against all that they, the progressives, are for, what they stand for, what they want our country to be, a reflection of them! I can’t do that, and as feeble as I am today, I know that I will not want to be here should they succeed in their agenda. So my fellow, honorable American patriots, are we up to the task? For all our sake, I pray that we are, I believe that we are, I know in my heart that “We the People” has what it takes to not only take them, the progressives on, but defeat them at the polls come Nov of 2012! We have no choice, so gather your inner strength, God’s love for us, and let’s make sure we don’t let our creator down and defend his gift to us, our “America!”

Where have all the liars gone?

My last column was “Where have all the Secrets gone”, which led me to this column, a little more food for thought, “Where have all the liars gone.” If I continue the line, motivated by a song from my younger days, “Where have all the flowers gone”, it would read, “Where have all the liars gone, gone to Congress every one, when will we ever learn, when will we ever learn?” And so, as I listen to debate on Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity,” it is clear where all the “Liars” are. I know that there are some on the “Right” who fail to comprehend what the truth is, but I suspect that they are not in the lineup of the “Freshmen” who were elected by “We the People” to take on the outrageous spending that the 111th Congress, with a “Progressive” majority, led by the most Progressive President ever elected, and they are doing just that! Let us not judge them unless you are following them closely, by watching them take on the “Left!” If you follow their actions you can only come to the conclusion, and that is they are trying their best to do just what we asked them to do, in spite of the obstacles placed in their path.

The “Speaker of the House,” John Boehner, is being trashed by the “Left” and many of us are buying into their disinformation rather than really pay attention to his actions. I am not defending him, but I have watched him and listened to him and I do not come to the same conclusions as those judging him who pay more attention to those on the “Left” and their progressive mainstream media! The “Left” is doing a very good job of convincing many on the “Right” that he is someone that he is not, and that is so unfair and such a shame, as I watch a man who truly is going against the odds with a Senate that keeps him and the new Conservative congress from achieving their goals and agenda of turning the endless spending around, stopping a race to self destruction by a Socialistic “Left” led by a Socialistic “President”! We must give them the chance and we must ensure that the Senate will also be a Christian Conservative majority so that we can not only restore “Honor” to our government, but along with it, the truth that has been so lacking for the last four years. So, when I ask, “Where have all the liars gone,” all you have to do is listen to the Progressives in Congress as they open their mouths. Do that and you will know the answer to the question! The more I listen to Congressman Paul Ryan, the more I see a man, fortunately a honorable Conservative, lead the way, on the Right side of the House, by presenting and explaining his plan, “The path to prosperity” and then defending it against the onslaught attack by the Progressive Left. He, along with those we elected into Congress, is doing what the “Left” will not do and fight to keep from taking place by a blast of disinformation, dividing those who have from those who have not. It matters little that most of the wealthy are providing jobs to millions of our country’s population, filling the sacred chambers and halls of Congress with the lies and falsehoods they have spewed for so many years. I know that the Right is not blameless, and trust me, the Left will do all it can to make us believe that the Right is evil, trying to take away all the “giveaways” of the past, and the elderly will be tossed out to fend for themselves, with nowhere to go and no one to be there for them, accept for them, the “Progressives!” If you buy into that, then many who would have voted in 2012 for a more conservative government and just as important, President, will either stay home in defeat, or vote for the dishonest and Socialist “Left,” which will lead to the final stage of the Socialist, Progressive Democrat’s agenda, to bring down our government as we know it, and fulfill their efforts to take our great country to “Marxism” and there will be no going back, they will have won. Fortunately, I have faith in “We the People” and trust that we will not destroy our chance to do what needs to be done, put Paul Ryan’s Budget into action, as much as some of it will hurt, the end result, America will be saved from the claws of a cruel and final attack of a “Progressive” Left, who has only one goal in mind, that is to defeat a last ditch effort by the “Right” to save our great Nation from going broke. We, “We the People” must stand by this conservative Congress, give them our support, hound the Left until they realize that we, “We the People” will not give up, or give in. We are going to support our elected leaders, and trust that they will do the right thing to save our crippled and damaged country, crippled and damaged by a Congress and President over the last couple of years, who were guided by “Progressive” and “Socialist” oriented Democrats, and a few Republicans, and had that not changed last November, I can only imagine where we would be today as a nation. I believe their efforts are a direct cause for Glenn Beck to be let go by FOX, at least his hour show, Monday through Friday, that was an education as to what we all know, but he taught us and I believe his strong belief in God, and that God is the answer, is the reason the “Left” feared him and found a way to stop the Adds by companies who were pressured, leading to the demise of his show. What worries me, is that if they can do that, where else are they pressuring companies to stop their support for anyone who “tells the truth” the truth as it is, and what Glenn Beck taught could be verified, if you just took the time, as I did, and I think he knew it was coming and if you paid attention, you could see that he was trying to warn us of a future that required divine intervention to restore “Honor” to America, and the Government we elect to lead us, protect us and spend our money wisely. The “Truth” has been lacking and until we return that “Truth” to those who govern us, we will always be under the thumb of those who will use “Class Warfare” to gain whatever it is they are after. This must not stand, it cannot stand, and if we do our part, we will no longer have to ask, “Where have all the liars gone?” The “Truth” will replace the “Lie” and America wins. God bless America, we must not let her down, support those fighting for us on the “Hill” and I truly believe that the “Liars” will at last leave in defeat and “Honor” will be restored. America is calling us, I ask that we do not turn a deaf ear to her need.

Where have all the Secrets Gone?

I joined the Army on September 3rd, 1963. Even when I took the tests at the recruiting station in Los Angeles, California, to see what I was qualified to enlist for, I was told the “job title” of the option I chose was “Classified”, that’s right a “Secret”! I understood at an early age of the meaning of classifications were, and the importance of not discussing information of any kind that had a classification on it. I was fully aware of the importance of classified information, as my father was, at that time, Deputy Base Commander of Kadena Air Force Base, on the Japanese island, called Okinawa. He later was on the Air Force IG Team out of the Pentagon, in Washington D.C. His travels were so secret that none of us were allowed to even call our friends where their fathers were stationed because in those days’ even dependants of Air Force IG teams knew better than to compromise inspections that were unannounced. Of course none of us really fully understood the consequences of violating our father’s trust that we would not disobey him when he directed us to honor his wishes, when it came to calling our friends before, or while he was on his way to inspect one of the several “Strategic Air Command” or “SAC” bases where our strike bombers were at the ready 24/7, 365 days a year. All this before I enlisted into the “United States Army Security Command or ASA”, which later would be renamed “The United States Army Intelligence and Security Command” or “INSCOM”. Those enlisted who enlisted into ASA were treated differently from the rest of the enlistees, segregated and followed closer as our training went on, never knowing what we got into or where we would be trained, nothing, only we made it in, but still had to pass the course because should we be washed out or fail to obtain our Security Clearance, we would be reassigned into another MOS (job) as determined by the needs of the army. So, we had plenty of incentive to pass our courses if we really wanted to be in that “Elite” group known as a “Spook”, a name that would stick with us throughout our careers.

Without going into the specifics of what I did, doing that would only deviate from the intended lesson of the importance of fully understanding the consequences of failing to protect information that we would come into contact with, information so sensitive that it could easily bring severe harm to the security of our country. I am certain that is why the name of this particular Intelligence Agency was named the “National Security Agency” or NSA. Although we were in the Army, or other military services, we were intimately connected with them. They task us with our mission; we carried it out and provided them with the needed intelligence to keep our country safe. Just as the more noted Intelligence Agency known as the Central Intelligence Agency, we were a part of a group of very sensitive and secretive agencies, for good reason, all with very specific missions, each supporting the others, all dealing with the most sensitive information, and missions requiring the utmost secrecy and protection from the many enemies of the Untied States of America, and all those serving fully understood the consequences of failing to keep the sacred oaths taken once we became a part of what is commonly known as the “Intelligence Community”, something all of us could and were very proud of, for the responsibility we were charged with, we took very seriously, as each of us should have.

All through training we were indoctrinated into being aware of just how important keeping “Secrets” were, not just to us, the Agencies we worked for and represented, but for the absolute protection of not just the information, gathered intelligence, or our missions, but the absolute protection of the “Security” of the nation we swore to defend, protect and if required to die for. It was only after I was in and serving my first assignment, at a location in England, that I fully came to understand that as much as those of us who love our country with all our hearts, there were a few, and I mean a few, who failed to grasp the power they held in their minds, knowing the information, the missions, and the technology if provided to any of our many enemies, could and probably would result in the beginning of the end of our nation as we have known it. The awesome responsibility of carrying such significant and important “Special Intelligence” (this is intelligence of such great importance that compromising even the “Code Word” material, would lead to serious and significant harm to our country, so those who were loyal and committed, never allowed their oaths to be violated and kept the “Secrets”, whether it be, “For Official Use Only”, “Confidential”, “Secret”, “Top Secret” or “Top Secret Code Word” (and classifications that are required to be classified and protected from all but those with a very special “need to know”) All classified material or information each carry a “Need to know” basis that is determined by authorities governed by regulations which are themselves classified.

My first experience with those who would, for reasons known only to them, defect and pass on information that changed everything for those of us in the “Collection” business. Two NSA analysts known as “Martin and Mitchell” would defect to the then Soviet Union and provide “Crypto logic” information that would set back the Intelligence Community 10 years, I know, I was a part of the rehabilitation effort, a task that failure could have resulted in the initiation of the 3rd World War. It was only through efforts of dedicated young men and women, far more talented that the two Analysts who defected, that prevented what we all feared would be a fruitless endeavor by incredible individuals and teams who collectively restored the continuity of the greatest collection and analyst effort over a period of time that will always be remembered by me as the restoration years that put the puzzle back together that two traitors of the United States of America. Martin and Mitchell are only two of a number of traitors who defected, taking with them sensitive information, and providing what we held so “Secret” to countries that would use the classified information against us in ways I cannot discuss.

But as bad and wrong as it was for Martin and Mitchell, and other noted “Spies” who became traitors and sold information and technology for a price, or other personal gain, I find it even more deplorable that we have had in the past, and I believe currently have elected leaders in Congress, the senate, and even the White House, who have betrayed our country in ways that may result at some time in the future, maybe not so far off, countries that could not achieve the very high technology that would provide our “Certain” enemies, such as China, with technology that gave them an ability that only the United States and the Soviet Union once had. President Clinton and his policies provided a vehicle for “Special Certain Companies” to sell technology that would allow China to develop multiple warheads on ICBM’s, now President Obama’s irrational policy has plans to share the nation’s top technology secrets with China, technology forbidden by several past administrations, includes “sensors, optics, and biological and chemical process” all of which are “identified as having inherent military application”.

Not only is the Obama policy providing technology to China, but are leading various questionable merchants like “Majid Kakavandwho allegedly shipped certain technology through his global procurement network to Iran. Not sure of this, look up the name and follow the dots. Poor policies by our current are leading Iran to acquire sophisticated technologies that otherwise would be denied to this terrorist state who wants the destruction of Israel, one of our best and closest allies. Not only are the policies of this president making it easier for unfriendly countries towards the United States, but Secrets of our closest ally, Great Britain are being provided to Russia in order to persuade them to sign the START Treaty, which is so one sided in favor of that country to begin with. And what secrets of our closest ally did he provide Russia? Probably the most egregious act of the Obama Administration and as far as we can tell, the most perfidious, the Obama Administration agreed to provide Russia with classified information regarding Great Britain’s Nuclear Capabilities, against that ally’s will and demand. Not only did the Obama administration sell out Great Britain, but other U.S. ally’s nuclear weapons and capabilities were provided. Secrets? I wonder about classified information, who has access to it, and who are they providing it too, with or without the knowledge of those responsible in Congress! And let’s not forget the missile shield that was intended to protect Poland, Israel, and other European countries from a missile attack originating from Iran! A lot of the latter information provided was obtained via “the WikiLeaks website. Sad we had to find out how corrupt our government is by compromising “Secrets” but most of this was known by not only this Administration, but the congressional oversight! I could go on, but this is just a column, the rest may one day be in a book, if I ever have the courage and strength to write it.

In Closing, I would refer you to 1776, when Benjamin Franklin and his colleagues on the Committee of Secret Correspondence unanimously decided they could not tell the Continental Congress about a major French covert operation to assist the American Revolution, explaining; “We find by fatal experience that Congress consists of too many members to keep Secrets”. John Jay, foreign affairs secretary in the Continental Congress, lamented to Gen. George Washington that there was as much “intrigue” in Congress as in the Vatican, but “as little secrecy as in a boarding School.” Even in 1776 our forefathers understood better than those serving in congress and White House today the importance of “Protecting” secrets, all classified information was treated with greater respect and dignity than “Secrets” of today, when failure to protect information of such great importance could lead to the end of our nation as we know it. I think even the beetles understood, as suggested by the title of one of their songs, “Do you want to know a secret?”

America Needs Our Help

After watching our President read his speech, from the usual monitors, the other day on how he is the hero of “Libya”, lightening struck; our America is really very much in need of our help to save her. Oh, I know God is the answer, but the God I grew up with has always told us that “God helps those who help themselves”! It was then that the light bulb switched on over my head and I came to the realization that God really meant what he said, and if we don’t climb off our safety nets, we will watch our America change from the great, beautiful land that God blessed us with, to something so very different. Neither you or I want that and although you probably are way ahead of me on this, I have truly reached the conclusion that it is up to us, and yes we must, not should, but absolutely must turn to our wonderful and loving God and make things happen. We must make things happen that will start the slow change in the direction these socialists and radicals of this administration and congress are taking us! And for those who have given up, it’s time you wake up and get on board, the train will not wait for those who procrastinate, it will leave you behind and you might be the one that makes the difference. How would you feel about not acting and because you failed to act, we lose America to those who would destroy everything our founding fathers stood for, fought for, and delivered for us, under their strong faith and belief that God will be there for them and they were right, God was and he delivered what has become the beacon that stands for “freedom”, the shining hope for mankind around the world to continue to be the leader that the world looked up too as the one nation all mankind could always depend on when they are in trouble, the one stable, strong, and righteous leader who is made up of men and women willing to sacrifice so much for so many. If you have not figured it out yet, America needs us, just as the world needs us, and it is time for us to step up to the plate! Throughout our history, America has had good, bad and adequate Presidents, at least until our current President mesmerized America to elect him into the most powerful office in the world, the most respected office in the world, and the most dependable office in the world, so what happened? Well, as this old worn out, broken down Vietnam Vet, disabled and tired observed history start the change that is causing the promised “Transformation” of the free, democratic republic, called America, into an America led by radical, Socialist and communist deadbeats of the 60’s and 70’s, led by a charismatic young, clearly one of them, but one who promised “Change” and it was time for change, but not the change promised by this self indulgent egomaniac who allowed his hunger for power and greed for recognition that allowed him to be called a “Head of State” and travel all around the world on our dime, not his change we would discover would lead us into the trappings of his world and ideology. How is it that we were fooled by one who all the signs told us who he was, even his own words promised what he is delivering, yet so many of us still voted for something he never said he would deliver, and because so many of us failed to see or believe all the truths of a man trapped in his delusionary world that so many like him before tried to bring about in so many other countries where the times led those vulnerable followers into the sinister, evils of the “Socialist, Marxist, Radicals” who hunger for a moment in history to bring about chaos, destroy and then in his already warped mind bring about a world that is a utopia never achieved because it is only an idea written in a book, where once achieved, what was once good and strong will evolve into a subservient, mindless world of the have not’s, while those who led them into this warped “Transformed” State, take everything from almost all but those who assisted in the destruction of the once Republic that our forefather’s gave so much so that we would be rewarded with God’s gift. America needs us now, not tomorrow, next week, next month or on the next election day, she is bleeding and it is up to us to heal the wound and stop the bleeding. America needs us now, more than at any time in our history and it is up to us to respond and answer her call. She has been there for us, as God’s gift, we are obligated to come to her aid. America needs us. We all knew on the day we elected a Socialist Radical into the highest office in the land that our America was and is in trouble, the great gift of God, the legacy of our forefathers has been taken, no stolen, from an American population fooled or lulled into trusting, against our instincts, that the man who promised “Transformation” and “Redistribution of wealth” must have meant something other than what we knew he promised, and so here we are, desperate to find a way out and in that desperation we call for “Impeachment” or even thoughts that God would never consider valiant or proper. No, we must do it as our forefathers would want for us to do, with dignity and resolve. We must act with God’s guidance, trusting in him as our forefather did before us. It is up to us to take the lead and call on those we currently have in office, knowing not all are going to be there for us, but for their own personal self-serving agendas, we must identify those who are there for the right reasons and demand that they fight for us as we will do all we can, within our power and within the limits of the laws of our country, to bring about the change we expected from the “President of the United States”. A President we cannot trust nor have faith in as we know that he is not there for us, and never will be, regardless of what lies spew from the lips of his deceiving mouth. We cannot ever trust or believe in this man again, regardless of what words or actions are rendered as he is not one of us, he is a “Radical Socialist” who believes in his cause and will never change, not for us, not for anyone, he is who he is and we must never fall into his trap again. America needs us, she depends on us to be there for her as she was for us. We must not fail to stand together, arm in arm, ready for whatever is planned for us by this evil, Godless soul, who only has the destruction of our value system, diminish who we are, and destroy the essence of an America that once was, and now calls on us to come to her aid. We must not complain, look for easy answers, trust who we know cannot be trusted, and deliver ourselves, ready to sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed as we look to God, for the answer is in him, it will be through love, hope, faith, and charity that will clear the path ahead for us to endure the suffering that is sure to be there, but let us think of those in battle, in lands far from ours, who are giving their lives and limbs, as well as their minds, so that we have a chance here in the land they protect and defend. We must be the soldiers here, picking up the phones, the emails, the letters, the gatherings in peaceful protest, making our voice loud and our hearts known to all those filled with hate for we who love America and the gift that only God could have given. America needs us now, we must start the campaign of identifying our next leader and we must ensure that he or she will be strong and filled with the spirit of God. There will be names that sound good to some, while bad to others, we must put aside our personal and self needs to find our leader, the one that will take back the power and dignity intended for the man who sits in the seat behind the desk in the oval room at the White House. American needs us now, to come together and ready to find ways to look past our differences and find that one person, who is touched by the holy spirit and guided by God’s will, taking us on the ride to restore America back to the America God left for us to care for and take care of, never to allow another false prophet to ever have another chance to do what this man is trying to do, but will fail. He will fail because he is not who he thinks he is, and he does not have the power he thinks he has, he is nothing without us, and we can effect the change that he promised, but were changes that lulled us into believing we were getting change that was nothing like the change he promised. America is calling on us to save her, and like the soldiers on the battle field, we must be willing to sacrifice to restore what God placed in our care, our America. Yes, America needs all of us and if we turn our backs on her now, there will not be another opportunity for us to do what we are being called on this very day. You either hear the call and are ready to do what it takes, or you have become one of them. Although confined to my bed and housebound, I will be answering the call as long as God gives me the strength to do what I need to do, or can do, and trust me, I will. I belong to an army of soldiers who will be defending and protecting the very gifts left to us. Our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and our America are in danger, so I must answer the call, and so must you, we just can’t lose sight as too how we go about it, and it must be without the violence of those who would take from us what we love so much. America has called on us, she needs us, we have no choice but to respond, to do otherwise is to fail. Failing is not an option, America needs us, she needs us, God help us, America needs us, “We the People”!

How Much Do We Really Know About "Steve Lerner"?

Take a good look at the image above, then read this column!

I have been alluding to this man and his intentions the past couple of columns, it’s time for you to look into it and decide for yourself, I have, and I am mad as “He..”! We better start thinking about how to respond to this, we can’t leave Glenn Beck out there to hang in the wind, he needs our support! After all, all Glenn wants is for us to save America, together! So, are you in, or out?

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Former SEIU Official Reveals Secret Plan To Destroy JP Morgan, Crash The Stock Market, And Redistribute Wealth In America

Transcript:

PRESENTATION

W: We’re going to hear from Steve Lerner next, of SEIU, the Architect of the Justice for Janitors campaign. Currently, he’s working on partnering with unions and groups in Europe and South America, it’s building campaigns to hold financial institutions accountable.

S. Lerner: It seems to me that we’re in a moment where we need to figure out in a much more, through direct action, much more concrete way how we really are trying to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate. And it may sound like that’s a crazy thing that in a moment of weakness we could deal with it, but the thing about a boom and bust economy, it is actually incredibly fragile, because it’s not based on real way, well, it’s based on gambling and all of that. And so there are actually extraordinary things that we could do right now that would start to de, destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement. And for example, 10% of homeowners, going back to where you started, who are under, a quarter of all people who own a home are under water. Right? Their home is under water, they’re paying more for it than it’s worth. Ten percent of those people are now in strategic default, meaning they’re refusing to pay but they’re staying in their homes. That’s totally spontaneous. Right? They figured out it takes a year to kick me out of my home because the mort, the foreclosure’s backed up. I’m going to say I won’t pay. It’s just what business does, it’s a good, a good business decision. If you could double that number, you would make banks, put banks on the edge of insolvency again.

And so the question would be, what would happen if we organized homeowners in mass to do a mortgage strike. Just say if we get, and, and, if we get half a million people to agree, we’ll all not, we’ll agree we won’t pay our mortgages, it would literally cause a new financial crisis.

There are four things we can do that could really upset Wall Street. One is if city and state and other government entities demanded to renegotiate their debt because they’re paying too much interest. And you might say, well why would the banks ever do it? Because they, the cities and counties could say we won’t do this and this in the future with you if you don’t renegotiate the debt now. Meaning, about a third of bank profits generate from dealing with cities and states. So we could leverage the power we have of government to say we won’t do business with you, JP Morgan Chase, anymore unless you do two things: you reduce the price of our interest, since your interest rate is down; and second, you rewrite the mortgages for everybody in the community so they can stay in their homes. We, we could make them do that.

The second thing is there’s a whole question in New York now about austerity and student’s rates and the question of the debt structure. What would happen if students said we’re not going to pay? It’s a trillion dollars. Think about your …sweeping that debt, a trillion dollars from students debt?

There’s a third thing that we could think about, what about if public employee unions, instead of them being on the defensive, put on the collective bargaining table when they negotiate they said we demand as a condition of negotiation that the government renegotiate, we want, we believe in good financial management. It’s crazy that you’re paying too much interest to your buddy the bankers. It’s a strike issue for us. We will strike unless you force the banks to relieve the debt of the city. I’m not going to go through all the detail except to say there’s extraordinary things we could do and if you add on top of that, if we really thought about moving to the kind of disruption in Madison, but moving that to Wall Street and moving that to other cities around the country where we basically said you stole $17 trillion, you’ve impoverished us and we’re going to make it impossible for, for you to operate.

Labor can’t lead it, but we can be a critical part of it. We do have money, we have millions of members who are furious, but I don’t think this kind of movement can happen unless actually the community groups and other activists take the lead. And that’s a big reversal of how a lot of these coalitions have even thought about it, so unions helping community groups, or communities who cover this narrowly. And if you’re se, if we really believe that we’re in a transformative stage and what’s happening in capitalism, and we need to confront this in a serious way and develop a real ability to put a boot in the wheel, then I think we have to think not about labor community alliances. We have to think about how together we’re building something that really has the capacity to disrupt how the system operates.

And so I just, I guess raise that we need a whole new way of thinking about things, which is not a partnership, but building something new. Because the bottom line is, as soon as the union gets sued, it’s going to be terrifying. When we get an injunction that says, you know, you, un, the union backs down. So we need to build a movement based on we know the oppression we’re going to face. And I think the only way we can do that is to think much more creatively, and the key thing I …is we have to say what does the other side fear most? They fear disruption, they fear uncertainty. Every article about Europe says a riot in Greece, the markets went down. The folks that control this country care about one thing: how the stock market does; how the bond market does; and what their bonus is. So I think we weed out a very simple strategy: how do we bring down the stock market, how do we bring down their bonuses, how do we interfere with their ability to, to be rich. And if we don’t do, and that means you have to politically isolate them, economically isolate them and disrupt them. So, it’s not all theory, I’ll do a pitch.

So, a bunch of us around the country are thinking about who would be a really good company to hate? We decided that would be JP Morgan Chase. …. And so we’re going to roll out over the next couple of months what will hopefully be an exciting campaign about JP Morgan Chase that is really about challenge the power of Wall Street. And so what we’re looking at is in the first week of May, we get enough people together – we’re starting now – to really have a week of action in New York with the goal of … I don’t want to go into any details because I don’t know which police agents are in the room, but the goal would be that we would roll out in New York the first week in May—

M: (Can’t hear speaker)

S. Lerner: Yes. …connect three ideas – that we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money; they have the money, we need to get it back; and that they’re using Bloomberg and other people in government as the vehicle to try to destroy us. And so that we need to take on those folks at the same time and that will start here. We’re going to look at a week of civil disobedience, direct action all over the city, then we’ll roll into the JP Morgan shareholder meeting, which they moved out of New York because they were afraid, I guess, of Columbus, where there’s going to be a ten state mobilization to try to shut down that meeting. And then looking at bank shareholder meetings around the country and try to create some moments like Madison, except where we’re on offense instead of defense. Where we have brave and heroic battles challenging the power of the giant corporations, and we hope to sort of inspire a much bigger movement about redistributing wealth and power in the country.

W: You were talking about why unions are so invested because of their pension plans and why ungovernability, as Frances Fox Piven and Cloward taught us, you know, poor peoples’ movements are successful when they create conditions of ungovernability. And then you win victories.

Want more, check out the Business Insider and read what they had to say. This is far too much for me to digest and report. Sorry, Milt

(I do ask that you do not ignore any of this, check it out for yourselves, and check out Steve Lerner, easy to do, I know, I did it. He is a very scary man! As Glenn would say, he is a “Spooky Dude” almost as spooky as George Soros…. Well, maybe even more, I just don’t know any more.

Andy Stern, never gorget who he is and how much access he has to the President of the United States of America, then you might want to go back and review what you just read.

Some Senators do resond to your letters and emails

I have had so many people tell me they never get a response from their congressmen or senators. I have to disagree, although my congressmen here in Georgia, from my district (13), (not worth mentioning), never gives me an answer, only a standard letter to everyone, My senator, Senator Johnny Isakson has always responded and I have posted some of them in the past and thought I would post this one. He always addresses my specific questions and I really appreciate that, and yes, he is a Conservative Republican, the Progressives never give you a straight answer. Anyway, for those interested in what Georgia Senators are doing about the “Health Bill” I offer this catch-up. Milt

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gregory:

I thought you would find the following update interesting.

On February, 2, 2011, I voted for an amendment to repeal the terribly flawed health care law that was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President last year. Unfortunately, the amendment failed by a vote of 47 to 51. The measure to repeal the law was offered by Republican Leader Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY, as an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization bill and it needed 60 votes to pass. My Republican colleagues and I will continue to offer such amendments, as well as work to strike specific provisions of the law, such as the individual mandate. I am a co-sponsor of S.192, a bill that would effectively repeal the health care reform law.

During the same debate, I also voted to repeal a section of the health care law that would have imposed an overly burdensome new tax reporting requirement on small businesses. The amendment to repeal the 1099 reporting requirement passed 81-17. Specifically, Section 9006 of the new health care law requires business owners to submit a separate 1099 reporting form for every single business transaction that totals more than $600 in a given year. As a result, small business owners would have had to complete and submit 1099 forms for basic business expenses, including phone and internet service, shipping costs, and office supplies.

In my judgment, the Affordable Care Act has little or nothing to do with affordable care. Since its passage, we have seen increase after increase in costs – both in terms of insurance premiums as well as the application of the law to the practice of medicine. This law is not about affordable care. It is about rising health care costs. The fact that over 70 waivers have been issued by Health and Human Services is proof that the bill is flawed and proof that we will continue to see exemptions in order to make a bill that is designed to fail, work.

Thank you again for contacting me.

Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator
