It is pure chaos out there and only one thing accounts for chaos; a lack of confidence in leadership. It starts with the president, continues on with congress, and is rounded out by big business executives.
It is the reason we are seeing protesters slaughtered in Iran. When the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on behalf of the president says they are hoping that the turmoil in Iran can be worked out peacefully and to respect the open discourse of the people meanwhile on camera women are being shot; you have to ask, is that leadership?
The House just passed a cap and trade bill that will increase the cost of everything as people are losing home value and jobs all based on a false premise of global warming; you have to ask is that leadership?
Business executives are belying up to bar for free handouts and carbon exemptions all for their bottom line even though consumers will no longer have the money to buy their products, you have to ask, is that leadership.
Our president rambles on just like the neighborhood blowhard that everyone ignores because they have figured out his words mean nothing and action is not part of the equation; you have to ask, is that leadership?
We are represented in congress and the White House by people that no longer care about America, they only care about themselves and this can only result in one thing; chaos. My only fear is that congress is a reflection of who we have become as a nation. I can’t bring myself to believe it but for now we live in a leadership vacuum…
God Please Bless America; again, with some leadership…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

I hope you like your house!
The new “Cap and Trade” legislation that just passed the House must be stopped in the Senate because if not you will NOT be able to sell your house without the government’s permission! It is written directly into the “capitates and end trade” bill. In order to sell your house a government environmental bureaucrat must inspect your house to make sure it complies with environmental regulations. Until they sign off on the certificate you can’t sell!
So you say what is bad about having to have a house that is environmentally friendly? OK say your house uses oil heat but the regulators decide they want all houses to have a solar heating system? The cost for upgrading is $10,000 and you must upgrade before selling; does it matter now? There are so many opportunities for mischief here it is mind boggling.
Private property is under attack! This cap and trade will devastate the economy. Not only is this unconstitutional it is crazy. Who says politics doesn’t impact our lives? It shouldn’t be anyone that owns a home…
All of this environmental urgency based on lies of global warming. This administration and environmentalists are all just liars…

The longest war; the “war” on poverty…
How’s that going for you? If you are one of the demographic groups that have been perpetually in poverty not so good. It was declared by President Johnson on January 8, 1964, over 44 years ago to address reducing the poor in this country. Drive through any inner city in America as well as some rural areas and the result is clear; failure.
We have had generation upon generation waiting on the hope that government will make the things in life available and fair. What has been created is misery, envy, and wasted opportunity in the poor of this nation. They government hasn’t made a dent in the poverty level but they have definitely spent enough money to do so. But what this war has proven and continues to prove is government does not end poverty, individuals do.
Government disguises itself in compassion but delivers heartless mediocrity at best, devastation of families and individuals at worst. So why do we keep asking government to do more? Are we asking the government to do more? Is it the people as a whole or is it a small group of power hungry people convincing people they need more government?
We must be insane because we keep asking for government to solve social ills and every time we do the result is failure. They steal the hopes and dreams of one group to steal the hopes and dreams of another. It is the biggest scheme ever developed. And we ask for more or are we?
Eighty seven percent of Americans are happy with the health insurance they have. Who is asking for the government to get involved in healthcare? Is it you?

Liberty or Tyranny?
I have included a few of the headlines in today’s news to point out the efficiency of government intrusion into our lives. The use of our tax dollars has become more and more unconstitutional every day and must be stopped. And these headlines are only a miniscule representation of what is happening to our country right in front of our eyes.
We are under assault by the current crop of politicians. It is no more apparent than the cap and trade “debate” that is currently making its way through the house. It is treason pure and simple. It is a policy based on scientific lies about the impact of carbon dioxide on our environment. The “carbon footprint” garbage that is being promoted is deceptive and is supporting a platform that is encouraging citizens to support policies that will destroy America’s competitiveness and economy. It is an assault on freedom and any politician that mumbles their support should be voted out of office.
We need to educate ourselves on the real impact of CO2. You will learn quickly how much of a lie this global warming, carbon foot print, cap and trade garbage truly is. It must be stopped the same way an enemy that landed on our shores with the intent to overthrow our government would be. These politicians are trying to overthrow our freedom with lies, lies, and more lies.
We must take back our government from this administration and we must educate everyone we talk to about the devastation being thrust upon us under the guise of the saving the environment with the intent to ruin this nation. We are all environmentalists but the environmental movement is an attempt to ruin this nation. They say they want renewable green and clean energy but every time a permit is pulled to stand up a wind farm it is protested by the same people talking green. They don’t want green energy supplies, they want to end energy consumption. They want to take us back to the stone ages and a “simpler" life. That is not freedom; that is tyranny. Learn about the issues and fight back…

It’s a Failure to Educate; Stupid!
The entire healthcare debate revolves around the loosely defined number of uninsured individuals. The number being thrown around is 47 million. When those numbers are analyzed there are a number of facts that are conveniently ignored when this figure is discussed. A third, approximately 17 million are people in this country illegally. Over 40 percent could afford it but choose not to buy it because they are young and single. The real number of people that want but can’t afford health insurance is more like 14 million.
These individuals that can’t afford insurance fall into the category of high school dropouts, single mothers, and the under educated that can’t find work due to their educational background. The issue is not healthcare rather it is an education and immigration policy problem.
The education system has been controlled by the government and is an abject failure at educating our most vulnerable citizens. Our immigration policy no longer focuses on deciding entry into the US based on the needs for labor and desire to assimilate; rather it has become a jump over the fence and turn our back policy combined with a system based on politically correct country quotas. Immigration is run by who? Oh that’s right, government.
So for most Americans, 84% have adequate insurance and like their own healthcare options. The government that has run our education and immigration system wants to do to healthcare what they have done for the above two programs. How does that make sense?
If we unleashed the education system in this country to support parents and tie the funding directly to the child and most important; untie the federal strings that are attached, we could solve most issues we have today. Actually we should close the federal DOE and send the 90 BILLION dollars that run through the agency back to the states and parents to support local education efforts.
There are a lot of very creative and entrepreneurial education efforts going on right now. But we need to allow every parent the option to use one of these creative programs by getting government out of education. Education is the most fundamental principle to a successful life. Why do you think we have so many failing? Because it has the government tentacles all throughout the system. If we want to solve the issues of poverty, health, and create happiness; it’s taking back the education system; stupid!

Obama Healthcare
Do you really think that the president or congress will have the same healthcare choices as the rest of us simple citizens? If you do you need to get engaged in this fight for your life; literally.
There will be two systems; one for the wealthy/politically connected and one for the rest of us. If you think people that have money or influence will stand in line next to you, you are sadly mistaken. If you think a politician won’t use their influence to jump the line or more likely stand in a different, shorter line, you are mistaken. They will have access while you are rejected for procedures due to assessments done by the same bureaucrats that will be part of a totally different healthcare system.
The alternative healthcare will not be publicized or endorsed by the government but it will be ignored and covered up to protect the people that will have access to this alternative healthcare system. A wink and a nod as they go through a different door as you sit in an overcrowded waiting room with the rest of us riff raff.
The only hope we have is that people start paying attention to the healthcare issue and fight back. The other positive is that Federal employees will not want to give up the phenomenal choices they get because they work for the Feds. Their system and choices are some of the best in the country. They will fight this tooth and nail.
As I write this I am listening to the radio and Obama just said, “I support comprehensive immigration reform”. His tactic of changing the debate with every speech is starting to become evident to most people. As we fight healthcare, government takeover of private sector business, cap and trade, global warming, and on and on and on, he just piles on new issues to distract us from the current issues. He is using a tactic of “overwhelm and divide”. He over whelms the public with a constant barrage of “new” ideas in an effort to convince us to give up. Don’t give up!
Know his tactic and fight back by contacting your representatives, writing letters, and telling your friends about the danger of the policies this president is proposing. It is not too late. Actually it is just the beginning of the fight…
