Just think about it

How much of this can we take?
How long can we take it.
It time to get on course.
The cats in the bag
It time to take control of the future?
what happens in DC doesn’t always stay in DC

Breaking News Washington, DC/New York City
9 Sep
After yesterday’s announcement about a possible terrorist attack on Washington, DC or NYC , government officials are taking steps to beef up security in both cities. They announced yesterday they have credible, but unconfirmed sources, that indicated a possible attack on either city, sometime during the 10th anniversary of the 911 attacks. It was amazing to see police and National Guardsmen in full combat gear sporting automatic assault weapons. But the report on the news showed most New Yorkers taking it in stride. (Bomb sniffing dogs and vehicle inspections. ) Access into the city slowed because of the threat. City officials have set up spot checks and vehicle search’s on all bridges and tunnels leading into the city. It’s an amazing thing to watch on TV. It reminded me more of the Middle East/or someplace like Israel, not the largest city in the United States. Sometimes I view what’s going on with terrorist, as something out of the middle ages. A third crusade. You’d think that after all this time that man has inhabited the earth we would have found common ground or a way to get along. Animals kill their own kind for survival. Humans kill their own kind out of greed, stupidity and ignorance. We must be a truly great embarrassment to our creator.
In a related story out of Mayberry
When the news of the possible terrorist attacks reach Mayberry, Sheriff Andy Taylor Jr. and the city felt it necessary to issue Deputy Barney Fife Jr. a fully loaded gun. Mayor Gomer Pyle III expressed his deep concern about the necessity of issuing live ammunition to Deputy Fife. Mayor Pyle was quoted saying, “ he was not sure who posed the greatest threat to the community, Deputy Fife or international terrorist organization.”
Other prominent residents of Mayberry have been overheard saying, “they would take extra precautions during the 911 remembrance this weekend and we’re looking forward to Monday morning when Sheriff Tailor would again resign Deputy Fife to his normal allotment of ammunition.” Hopefully this weekend will be a quiet and respectful time for remembrance that way on Monday we can find other things to worry about.

President Obama’s jobs speech on TV
8 Sep
I was out bicycle riding this event and stop by one of the local restaurants. I thought I might catch some of the President’s speech before Congress. I have to admit it was more like a halftime locker room pep talk. Better than I’ve heard in quite a while. I think the President hit a couple of good notes. Not exactly new ones, but one or two that will resonate well with most all the American people. We’ve needed jobs, we need a stronger economy and we need the people who we put into office to represent us, to do their jobs. I agree with the President on that point. But the truth is that his program sounded very similar to another post World War II program. Putting people to work under government program. Government sponsored and paid programs will only work in the short term. It seems to me that the majority of the President’s speech sounded like the old CCC work programs that our fathers participated in before and after the war. My parents said it did work for a while but even they knew then that the private sector was the only place to build and maintain any kind of long-term jobs.Some of the notes that the President hit on, although old ones, were pure music. Others sounded like he was beating on a steel drum that had not yet been tuned. Although I agreed with the part about dismantling some of the cumbersome regulations that inhibit growth in the private sector, but some of the other ones are going to fall on deaf ears.
President Obama was not my choice in the last election and he will not be my choice in the next one either. I did notice, however, that he did get a few standing O’s from both sides of the house. As I said earlier it was a good halftime locker room speech. Let’s all hope that it was good enough to pull the whole team together. We need to come out strong in the second half. Score first and score often. The game’s not over until it’s over so it’s time for Washington LSD to get off the bench and get us all back in the game.

Prom night at the White House, Washington LSD.
The president’s new job plan. If you can’t beat ‘em-join’em. Let’s hope after a speech next week we can all be dancing with the bucks $$$, new jobs and a growing economy. Otherwise many Americans will be in the streets(I don’t know about dancing in the streets) but they’ll be in the streets.

What Nancy Pelosi didn’t want us to know until after the healthcare bill was passed.
Remember she said, "pass it and then read it!!." Well, Here it is!
______________________________ Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number THE CARE BILL HB 3200
JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL.Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX – highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200
Please read this…….. especially the reference to pages 58 & 59
JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual’s bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – ACORN).
** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax.
** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors’ fees.
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient’s age.
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion;however, communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)
** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:
"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick ‘fix’ to make the plan financially sound for their future."

A plead for action/a need for action
19 Aug
I came of age in the last years of the JFK administration. I wasn’t old enough to vote, I wasn’t old enough to drink. But I sure was old enough to be drafted, so you understand that I’ve been around for awhile. I’ve seen political fights before and I scratched my head then as I am now. I spent the last couple weeks watching what’s been going on in Iowa. I watched the political debates, and the straw polls. I’ve been a longtime Republican and I’m ashamed to admit that the questions asked were better thought out and better understood then the answers given.I believe that there may be a few good candidates in the running, but I will not be disappointed if a couple of good people decide a little later to throw their hat into the ring. A number of candidates that are currently running certainly have a chance to beat President Obama. But from what I’m hearing from the candidates, at the moment, I’m not feeling all that confident about whether they really have a plan to turn this country around.
I realize that we have 15 months to hear what the candidates have to say. Hopefully one or two will move out ahead and be able to explain to us want they well do and how they might accomplish the revitalizing of the American economy.
I can’t believe it when you turn on the news and all you hear is that the President is on vacation. The Congress and the Senate won’t be back until September. I hope that they are enjoying it because I am recently retired and I find myself out looking for work again. Go figure!!!
I hope that the American people realize that it is not just a strong President that we will need, but a strong House’ a strong Senate and Conservative Judges. This is the best way to make our government’s work the way it was meant to. We need some give and take to hammer out a plan now. If we wait for the 2012 elections, I don’t think our system will be able to recover the losses, both monetarily and socially. I also believe that a lot of families, older Americans and people who are struggling now, will not survive another prolong recession. Nor the continuing losses we’re taking in our savings or be able to stand the volatility of the stock market.
I wasn’t old enough to be able to remember the great depression of my parents and grandparents day. But they made sure that my brothers, sisters and I knew what they went through. I certainly don’t want to have to live through a similar circumstances.
Freedom never was and never will be free/ monetary freedom will also be expense. I urge everyone/anyone who read these words to take the time and let you’re Representatives know that we can’t wait 15 months, we need them to take action now, we need them to negotiate in good faith, we need both sides to make concessions. We need actions not words.
We need the America of our forefathers, we need the America that we were promised, we need the American that we Americans deserve and we want it now!
Thank you to anyone who reads these words,. Thank you to anyone who takes action on this. It’s time that we give our Representatives an earful of what we want. They do work for us anyway don’t they?

Entitlement the new 4 letter word 4 the 21st century
12 Aug
In the 1930s after the depression, when our government decided that they would institute in new social program. One that would secure the future for all Americans. They introduced a program called Social Security. At that time it was the save all program 0f all-time. The U.S. government that is Congress, the Senate, and the President decided it would be in our best interest if they, had our employers deducted from our income a small amount of money each payday. At that time they promised to put that money in what was to be known as the Social Security Trust fund, Over time this trust fund would grow , it would helps support older Americans in their later years.At that time the American people were told that the money would be held in the Social Security Trust fund and that the money would be used to continue to make the fund grow. Over the last seven decades our elected officials have found numerous ways to siphon money out of the Social Security Trust fund. Over the last couple of years we the American people have been told that there never was a Social Security Trust fund. Now I don’t know about you, but to me what they have done smacks of almost a criminal act. I’m not sure we can actually say who is guilty. I don’t know who you can actually point the finger at and say what did you do with my money.
Now, so that they can cover up any possible wrongdoings, and to point a finger away of them, our government representatives are now calling the Social Security fund an entitlement program. Again, I don’t know about you, but the monies that they have siphoned out of the Social Security fund, and in that, they have used, this money in ways that were not best used for the American people who believed that our government (Elected officials) would do with the money as it promised.
Entitlement to me—means that: it is something that I am entitled to. Not because it is a hand out, but because it is a program and I unwillingly, but necessarily participated in. The government did not have us sign a waiver saying that they would not take my money, they just took it. Webster’s dictionary defines entitlement as “to give a legal right to/to qualify for something”. Don’t you believe that, by the fact that we’ve all participated in and funded with our own hard earned money, that this justifies the fact that we are entitled to and should receive the monies promised under the original social security act?
I know that modern times have put a strain on this system. The fact is that the people in office at that time this law was enacted probably never envisioned the enormous demand that the system would get at any time in the future. I think we all realize that something must be done to correct this problem (and done soon.) We need to let our representatives know that we support change, but don’t deny us all we have worked so hard for.
Don’t take a simple word from the English language and make it into a four letter word for the 21st century. We’ve worked hard for and we are entitled to receive the benefits of our investment. It does not take a genius to be able to figure out how to do the right thing.
