The worst is yet to come

Once again our elected official are failing to understand the laws that they vote for and pass. This "stimulus" package is over 1000 pages, even an accomplished speed reader hasn't had the time to read it, much less digest it, yet the congress has passed it. It is far beyond the time for the change that we supposedly want. Change that will only happen when all of the politicians at every level of government are removed from office. No change will occur in a system that promotes career politicians. Term limits, tighter controls at the ballot box, and immediate personal accountability from elected officials should be the law.
I propose new legislation that forces a constitutional limit on federal debt. The way out of this crisis is with less government regulation, less federal spending, and far less political stimulus.
President Obama promised a period of public comment before signing major legislation. Just one more politician telling one more lie to further his cause. Change!, my ass!

Radom Thoughts

  1. It is a sad day when one of the major party's in American politics have pretty well nominated a genuine America hating Communist.
  2. Shame on the MSM for the blatantly biased coverage and for the lies that they tell as well as those they help to hide.
  3. It only takes ten years to get oil from a well if the government is involved. But even if it did won't we still need the oil in ten years?
  4. The Liberal politicians are personally investing in "alternative" energy while thwarting our domestic oil production at every turn to insure return on the investment. The MSM applauds the politicians for being "Green" while they laugh all the way to the bank!
  5. "Big" oil companies are neither evil nor greedy and they support a huge part of this nations economy. Once again the Democrats want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Mr. Ex-President

Bill & Hillary :
Worse than you thought & worth remembering - this came from a Democrat.
Dear Mr. Ex-President Clinton :
I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:
1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones , Monica Lewinsky , Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick . Did I leave anyone out?
2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.
3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of " is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex.
4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.
5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.
6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.
7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other " Clinton " scandals.
8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.
9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.
10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas)
11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."
12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight ( China , silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!
13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!
14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton , and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher , "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!!
If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on.
God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally. SINCERELY, A U.S. Citizen
P.S. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail.
AND THE REST OF THE STORY -- Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York U.S. Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets re-elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?) If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua , New York . Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12-man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal! When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

A Democrats Poem

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, thenTax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways To tax his ass

Tax all he has Then let him know
That you won't be done Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, Then tax him some more,
Tax him till He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin ,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in Which he's laid.
Put these words upon his tomb, " Taxes drove me to my doom..."

When he's gone, Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

And.... I still have to "press 1"for English.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus.

My parents live in Fort Worth (need I say more). One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas.

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview. She is a part time "working girl". All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her into the family.

I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her.
Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Hillary Clinton for President?
Signed,
Worried About My Reputation

I got this in an Email the other day. I'm not sure who the author is but I'm with them!

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 ? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing-up an> Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and - you guessed it - I don't care ! ! ! ! ! If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan I have another quote that I would like to add ....... "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan One last thought for the day: In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... and how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!

Sen. Bill Nelson on Climate Change

Below is the reply I got from Sen. Nelson's office after I wrote with my concerns that the global warming nuts were out of control. Wonder if he even read my letter? The letter that follows is the reply I sent to this:

Thank you for writing me with your concerns about global warming. The United States needs an energy policy that alleviates high energy prices and reduces our dependency on foreign oil without inflicting irreversible harm on our environment. Global warming threatens Florida's fragile ecosystem and $54 billion tourism industry. Rising sea levels will encroach on Florida's pristine beaches and harm coastal wetlands and the Everglades. Also, increased water temperatures will damage sensitive coral reefs and endanger Florida's diverse marine species. A recent scientific study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded with 90 percent certainty that global warming is caused by the accumulation of man-made greenhouse gasses. To reduce our use of greenhouse gasses, we must use more renewable energy in power production and transportation. I am a cosponsor of three important bills that will help reduce the effects of global warming and promote innovation in alternative energy production. The Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act (CSIA) is a bipartisan bill that would cap the greenhouse gas emissions of the electric power, industrial, transportation, and commercial sectors of the economy at year 2004 levels by 2012. By then gradually lowering this cap and creating financial incentives to develop clean-burning energy, we will lower emissions and forestall catastrophic global warming. The Dependence Reduction through Innovation in Vehicles and Energy (DRIVE) Act would dramatically reduce our use of fossil fuels by increasing the availability of alternative transportation fuels, providing incentives for the purchase of hybrid and flexible fuel vehicles, and spurring development for next-generation fuels and hybrid cars. Lastly, the Ten-in-Ten Fuel Economy Act would increase fuel economy standards by ten miles per gallon in ten years.While these bills are an important first step, I will continue to work in the Senate to fight the effects of global warming. I appreciate the time you've taken to be involved and informed about this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.




Dear Senator Nelson,
From your response to my last inquiry I see that you are a drinker of the Global Warming Alarmist kool-aid. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is nothing more than a self serving group that exists to promote the existence of man-made global warming. I could have told you what their conclusion was going to be long before they published anything. This group is the very definition of biased and un-objective. Anyone who bothers to check the facts with objectivity will see that there is no justification for a claim that they are 90% certain that global warming is due to man made greenhouse gases. Man as a whole simply does not contribute enough of a percentage of these gases into the atmosphere to justify this statement. There are a growing number in the scientific community that believe the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere is more the result of, rather than the cause of, warming trends. Further the Earth has been both warmer and cooler in the past when mans production of these greenhouse gasses was insignificant. In the middle ages temps were warm enough that grapes were grown in England yet the activists in the global warming sector work to hide the fact that this period ever occurred. Additionally astronomers tell us that our sun is in a heightened state of activity and that the temps on Mars are rising at a similar rate to Earth, which would seem to indicate that the climate is far more affected by the sun than by any activity of Man. This "science" is anything but settled and much of the evidence that refutes the doomsayers is being repressed. I had hoped that you would be more thoughtful than to accept as gospel the findings of a group pre-disposed and highly motivated to find that global warming is a manmade phenomenon despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
All of this, aside the models that these people use are skewed beyond any reasonable measure to achieve the ends they desire. They assume levels of man-made CO2 that are far beyond any reasonable estimate or measurement of what is actually produced.
Simply put Climate change has been occurring for far longer than we have been able to follow it on a global scale and even today the samples of temps taken are not an accurate reflection of a true global average (most temps are taken in urban areas).
It should give you pause to remember that many of the same people preaching the religion of global warming today were crying out about the coming of the next ice age 20 years ago. These people have no credibility.
If you are truly an enlightened individual read the many reports from the many and very credible scientists that refute the findings of groups like the IPCC.
We should all take reasonable measures to keep our environment clean but this alarmism is counter productive and driven as much by a desire to harm our economy as by any concern for the environment.
