INTERESTING FACTS!

ANOTHER INTERESTING OBSERVATION IS THE GENERATION AND FEMALES WHO WILL LOSE THE MOST ARE THE ONES WHO ELECTED THEM TWICE.

C BREWER

California, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Maine and South Carolina.

These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!!!

Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support?  Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day.

To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for 40 hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.

Furthermore:  There are actually two messages here. The first is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding – and explains a lot.  A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage (%) of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%,  England   46%,  Canada   42%

% of patients diagnosed with diabetes -received treatment within 6 months:

U.S. 93%,   England  15%,  Canada 43%

% of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

U.S.   90%,   England  15%,  Canada 43%

% referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S.   77%,   England   40%,  Canada   43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S.   71,      England   14,     Canada   18

% of seniors (65+), with low income, who are in “excellent health”:

U.S.     12%,   England    2%,   Canada    6%

And now…for the last statistic:   National Health Insurance?

U.S.               NO

England         YES

Canada         YES

Check the last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet… Who had worked in the private business sector…prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business…not a government job.  

Here are the percentages.

38%   T. Roosevelt

40%   Taft

52%   Wilson

49%   Harding

48%   Coolidge

42%   Hoover

50%   F. D. Roosevelt

50%   Truman

57%   Eisenhower

30%   Kennedy

47%   Johnson

53%   Nixon

42%   Ford

32%   Carter

56%   Reagan

51%   GH Bush

39%   Clinton

55%   GW Bush

   8%   Obama

Unless you are blind or mindless I hope this helps explain the incompetence of this administration: ONLY 8% of them…have ever worked in private business! That’s right!   Only eight percent—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!

And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And, when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?

They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs. Or…   As “community organizers.”

Please share this!

No wonder we are going broke as profit is not a requirement for government service. By the way common sense is the factor that seems to be the missing element. It would be nice to see similar statistics for the 535 members of congress who have gone stark raving mad spending money we don’t have.

Thanks Dan for sharing these facts which seems to be overlooked by both the main stream media, women, brainwashed students, Progressives in both parties, Liberals, and all Demoncrats. C Brewer

HATE – A GIFT FROM THE OBAMA’S.

Can you understand the reason to pass on this legacy to two daughters who will suffer the most from two hate filled parents, I can’t?

I have been wandering around the Internet reading about the death of the longest serving member of the US Supreme Court. Folks if you still believe America is “United” you have questionable sanity. I have been accused and plead guilty to being a Conservative all of my 85 years. I started as a Democrat because my father and grandfather were Conservative and in the 1950’s Texas was almost 100% Conservative and that lasted until LBJ stole a Senate seat with stuffed ballot boxes.

I watched the Republican Party grow as they took over the Conservative banner and became powerful until Reagan retired and a new group of “Republicans in Name Only” or (RINO) Progressives took control of the power and virtually gave the Presidency to Obama by continuing to start wars to accomplish nothing but discontent. This was the opening for RINO’s like Bush, McCain, McConnell, Boehner, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, etc, to take over and give the Presidency to Obama on a silver platter. He expanded the welfare system, unemployment programs and mesmerized the women to re-elect him again. He may not bankrupt America by next January but what he has in place will if we try again to elect Rino’s like Bush 3, and the army of clones who will do nothing.

To share what seemed to support my “HATE” comments read some of the following “HATE” from both Republicans and Demoncrats. What they really hate is the US Constitution but spew their venom toward honest people who pledged to follow this document. The four or five Supreme Court Justices that represent these dissidents just ignore the Constitution to satisfy the Americans that hate the document and blame it on the ones who follow the law of the land. Change the document instead of  hating Americans that follow the law. Our President hates the Constitution and spews hate just like the ones who are so happy Scalia is dead

“Glenn Beck Thanks God for Scalia’s Death: It ‘Woke the American People Up’ to Support Cruz”. Beck, a supposed Christian who praises God” for taking a life for political purpose. Beck was a man I admired until he spewed this hate.

Usmann Rana @usmannrana I know Hitler ACTUALLY killed millions whereas #Scalia was a bigot in speech. But their speech often leads to actions. Hence the comparison

John Iadarola @jiadarola If Scalia’s death is sad, the thousands who will die as a result of his suspending Obama’s greenhouse gas emissions rule is far, far sadder.

Serenity @nschim Scalia the best Supreme Court Justice money could buy. I hear the Koch brothers are in mourning. Oh well, they still have Clarence Thomas.

George freeman @Numbers28 This is going to sound cold, but one down, one to go. Uncle Ruckkus (Clarence Thomas) needs to go next. Then our country can start healing.

J @piercepenniless Perhaps we can hope Clarence Thomas, by instinct and habit, will join him.

Larry Elder @larryelder The #Liberal Racists rejoice over death of #AntoninScalia–and are unleashing their bigotry against #ClarenceThomas.

Tomás Río @TheTomasRios Scalia was a monster and no one’s job entitles them to respect.

Glenn Greenwal @ggreenwald Don’t even try to enforce the inapplicable don’t-speak-ill-of-the-dead “rule” for the highly polarizing, deeply consequential Antonin Scalia.

David Ehrlich, again. He is staff writer for Rolling Stone, couldn’t contain his open glee for Scalia’s passing, even mocking his pro-life views. “Hold your Fetus Poster at Half-Mast” outside of Planned Parenthood.

Silvia Killingsworth, Managing Editor for The New Yorker actually joked that Scalia was in Hell, and mocked how he died. How “American” for Scalia to die at a ranch in Texas!

Feminist politics writer for Salon, Amanda Marcotte: “God approves of abortion.” “Marcotte then wondered, was it fate?

Dave Zirin, “Ugly Truths” in Scalia’s Legacy, like Reagan: Dave is Sports Editor for the Nation and frequent MSNBC guest managed to slam both Scalia and Reagan in one punch: Zirin also played the “pity Scalia’s victims”.

Glenn Greenwald, the radical left-wing journalist tweeted that he doesn’t think the “don’t speak ill of the dead” rule applies to Scalia.

Gabriel Arana, Huffington Post Senior Editor for HuffPo: Scalia’s no “saint”. She echoed Greenwald’s sentiment, linking to an article Greenwald wrote after Margaret Thatcher’s death, essentially bashing both Thatcher and Scalia as undeserving of respect.

Anyone who believes the “United States” is united must be the ones on welfare, unemployed, 2 million added to SSI since Obama was elected, the 12- to 18 million illegals, the hundreds of thousands Muslims Obama has added to the welfare rolls and the dead. That will add up to enough votes to allow Illinois to have its first free election in a hundred years.

Two people running for President know what needs to be done and that is why both sides hate Trump and Cruz. It is a shame they apparently can’t support each other as they would make a great team. Both should have recognized that the RINO’s have created the hate so that hopefully neither will get nominated. Trump should have know better and Cruz is too green to see how he got sucked into the war of words neither can win. Both need to engage their brain before thay open mouth and insert both feet

Two things are certain; 1. Donald Trump got two votes yesterday in the Texas Primary that will likely be canceled by my own children and grandchildren. 2. When they have to pay for this “Government Gone Wild” spending spree, about the time, some hope to retire, they will wish they had paid attention to this old man (not applicable to the lawyers and some of the of well educated granddaughters and the one Daughter who already dislikes me).

None of them every learned hate from me. Disgust and mistrust of some separated some of us but hate is a feeling I never experienced, even for the Obama’s. Pity would be a better description of my emotions, including the misguided voters who elected Obama twice.

C Brewer “GOD SAVE AMERICA.” “God Bless Antonin Scalia.” Wake up America.”

WASHINGTON WITCHCRAFT- PART TWO

How man people listened to Hillary Clinton dance around the fact that she violated federal law by using a personal E Mail account all the time she served as Secretary of State representing the United States of America. Remember she is the likely Democratic candidate for election in 2016 to be President of the United States. She is a lawyer, wife of William Jefferson Clinton who served eight years as President of the United States.

I have followed the history of her activity and politics from the time her esteemed husband served as Governor of the great State of Arkansas. Her short-lived position with the Department of Justice made great credits for he resume when she was fired.

What really blew me away in her interview was her response that she had no second thoughts because others had done this in the past. Now analyze that simple revelation, “others have done it.”

Looking at history “others” have committed fraud, others have lied, others have evaded income taxes, others have accepted unlawful foreign money, others have been dis-barred and lost their law license, others have pardoned convicted felons, others have been impeached by Congress, others have committed adultery, others have committed voter fraud and I feel sure this list could involve more illegal activities.  One of those others, Richard Nixon, actually resigned from office when he was caught red-handed stealing and hiding opponents records.

We all know that her husband should have resigned but Democrats can escape punishment in America. When you look at what the others have done, Bill Clinton has actually done most of the actions. In fact Hillary has already committed several of these “other”actions all by herself.

If anyone who believes one word the Clinton’s utter will be anything that helps anyone other than themselves they are morons.They perfected the art of lying to a level unprecedented until Obama elevated lying to a new plateau well beyond their comprehension.

The really sad statement she made while running for President against Obama was her specific statement that the Bush administration violated the same laws she violated later. If there was a picture next to the definition of the word “Hypocrite” in the dictionary it would be a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

If Hillary is nominated by the Democrats they have scrapped the bottom of the barrel searching for a “leader”. The only Democratic Presidents in recent history that might be worse leaders than the Clinton’s would be Lyndon Johnson and Obama. They all make Nixon look like a saint. At least he had the gonads to resign.   

Politicians are no longer expected to obey the laws and far too many Americans really don’t care.  I do!

ERIC HOLDER!

Eric Holder’s is the most dangerous person to have ever served as the head of the Justice Department. He has instituted the most partisan, hate filled, bigoted in US history. The sad part is he was given this authority by a Marxist President Obama and placed in power by a democratic Senate that has protected him from being in prison where he belongs. His expanding a stupid Bush program providing guns to the Mexican Cartels, (“Fast & Furious”), in a crime that many belong in prison for concocting.

He was cited for contempt by the House of Representatives and thumbed his nose at the laws while being protected by Harry Reid and the Progressive-Liberal Democrats from prosecution. He just watched Obama’s misuse of Executive Privilege and refused to challenge the separation of powers in the Constitution. He has allowed President Obama’s continued executive privilege abuse. He has politicized every facet of an already overly political Justice Department that Clinton spent eight years creating. Has Congress stepped in, no.

One major difference between Holders crimes and Nixon’s crooked Attorney General, John Mitchell, Holder hasn’t gone to jail. I am sure the shredding machines at the Justice Department have been working 24/7 since last Thursday and every computer has been adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service maintenance department.

Holder’s use of hatred as the approach to race relations have caused more damage than his contempt for Congress. His use of the power of the Justice Department to enforce some and ignore other laws to allow the President to divide the people with his use of social justice is unforgivable. He has sued fire and police departments to enforce hiring quotas. He has increased social tensions with his challenges of “Stand Your Ground laws”. He has pressured banks for not lending more money to members of racial minority groups and pressured other banks for “predatory lending” that led to disproportionate bankruptcies.

Bait and switch pressures have been perfected by Holder and Obama. Another example is the pressure he has created by forcing the end to school choice programs. These programs were designed and primarily help poor black kids acquire better educations. Who cares, the black voters still support Holder and Obama with 90% of their vote. The Democrats are masters of keeping the poor and minority voters both poor and dumb by design.

Holder has been a record setter for ignoring the laws he does not like and creating new laws the Congress did not pass. He and the Justice Department have also set another new record by suffering the highest number of unanimous losses at the Supreme Court in history. So far they have suffered 13 unanimous defeats, twice the number set by Bill Clinton and three times the number by President Bush.

Holder has accomplished his mission to expand every federal power available. He has been instrumental in damaging and/or ignoring every individual freedom we enjoy. Our Constitution has been re-written by our President and the powers of the Justice Department, Intelligence gathering, the IRS and the State Department pay no attention to the laws or the Constitution.

 Holder will not be missed by me or anyone who supports the rule of law. If Harry Reid and the Democrats keep control of the Senate in November his next public service will be as a life time appointment to the Supreme Court. If Hillary fails to run to replace Obama or loses the election, she will get on the Supreme Court before a new President is in office in January 2017. Hang on to your seat belt folks. Women will decide every national, and most state wide elections forever. They elected Obama twice.

LEADERS – WE USED TO HAVE SOME!

Once upon a time American leaders did not apologize for our country’s actions, here’s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our great country.

JFK’s Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.

DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?” De Gaulle did not respond.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’ by George Bush.

Powell answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?

He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day; they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day; and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks, but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE.

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”

“Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!”

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then, he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country,

I couldn’t find a single Frenchman to show a passport to.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am proud to be of this land — AMERICA

I am proud to be an American

HAVE A GOOD DAY

Thanks to my great friend Allan Moore for sharing this information. For those of you who have not been to France to suffer their arrogance, it is a pretty country. I was told years ago that the greatest French military invention was a white flag. I am sure that if I have any French readers they will cancel their subscription.

GOVERNMENT GONE TOTALLY MAD!

Watching the news has become the fastest way to increase your pulse. When the recent GSA extravaganza was announced it was no surprise to me. I spent 27 years working on government contracts on hundreds of aviation/space programs. What was a shock was the announcement that the GSA wacko that created this monster was retiring. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer Congressional questions, then was awarded a reported $100,000 a year retirement package. I suppose this removed him from the limelight that interfered with the re-election of Obama and his congressional supporters. It also improved the re-election chances for the Republican’s who support the Pentagon/GSA government waste expenditures.

After my career move to the petroleum industry, I was able to hang a framed adage that was obviously taboo before. It read, “An Elephant is a Mouse that was created on a Cost Plus, Fixed Fee, Government Contract!”

What really increased my blood pressure was the fact that I spent my 27 years and when I elected to receive my pension at age 63, it was $221.47 a month. I feel certain the GSA individual will also get free heath care and other benefits at tax payers’ expense and I received no benefits. 

It is rather obvious that working for the government is the best career path for all Americans who are willing to work for someone else. Two important points are included in this statement:

1. At least they are willing to work, rather than get paid not to work.

2. They have no desire to chase the American dream of owning their own business and create jobs for others.

It took me 32 years of working for someone else to realize that I had not fulfilled my lifelong desire of owning my own business. I had not achieved the goals I had set for myself by serving others. At 53 I charted a new path and created my first company. Over the next 10 years I had saved enough to retire and allow others to seek their destiny.

With Clinton as President my savings actually increased as it had for retirees all of my life. Bush actually started on the path that most retirees had planned for when compound interest at least evened out with increased inflation. This protected your nest egg from erosion.

Then we had the 9-11 disaster that changed the lives of every American. It resulted with the spending frenzy that has wrecked most retired people who had worked hard to provide for themselves. Change was what Obama promised and he has really changed America. In addition to wrecking our investments, he has succeeded in dividing this country by demanding more people be paid for not working than ever before. He has more people on welfare than ever before. He spews hate toward people who did and do work hard to provide for themselves. He has made OPEC nations richer by keeping the poor people poorer. More hate and violence exists in America today that during the civil war.

Instead of news today we have hate mongers like Chris Mathews, Alan Colmes, E. J. Dionne, Thomas Friedman and the list is endless, spewing anarchy to divide Americans. We have Marxist like George Soros pumping billions to help Obama divide America for his Socialist agenda. Why do these people hate America so much? Will they be happy when we have no one to hate?

It is past time for freedom loving Americans to unite and clean house in Washington. If school children do not wish to say the Pledge of Allegiance or pray, they do not have to. If people wish to pray to God, why prohibit this right? If men/women desire to live with one of the same gender, who cares? Does this mean we make a mockery of marriage to satisfy the re-election of politicians who can’t make a living by working?

Since retiring my electricity and grocery bills have increased 100%. My gasoline costs are up 150%. My retirement check will barely cover my telephone bills. Our Medicare insurance has doubled to over $650 a month and is scheduled to be about $900 in 2014. That is $100 a month more than I grossed in salary when we married 52 years ago.

Oh, before you forget it, my pension is still $221.47 a month after 18 years. Interest on my savings is about 10% of the current inflation rate. Something is rotten in Washington and in Denmark as the old saying relates. We can change things if enough Americans will get out and vote in November. It may be your last time to vote for anything.

REMEMBER WHO DESTROYED AMERICA’s FUTURE

 STILL BUSH’S FAULT, huh????I don’t understand WHY the republicans running for office don’t say this in their ads!!The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009 it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, the start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over theSenate and the Congress:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%

The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS OF GROWTH.

January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Thank the democratic Congress for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by dumping 5-6 TRILLIOn Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco’s! (Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001, because it was financially risky for the U.S. economy, but no one was listening).

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?

OBAMA.

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???

OBAMA and the Democratic Congress.

So when someone tries to blame Bush…

REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!” Bush may have been in the car, but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving. Set the record straight on Bush!

So, as you listen to all the commercials and media from the

Democrats who are now distancing themselves from their voting record and their party, remember how they didn’t listen to you when you said you didn’t want all the bailouts, you didn’t want the health care bill, you didn’t want cap and trade, you didn’t want them to continue spending money we don’t have.

I don’t know about you but my 401K has suffered enough of Obama’s “Change”. Facts are facts and I’m not forgetting their complicity in getting us into this mess, and I’ll be marking my vote accordingly!  CB

Thanks, Jack Peck, for reminding me.

GOVERNMENT-HERE TO HELP YOU “OUT”

WHY DID WE WORK SO HARD?

Before you read this let me state that I am not looking for any sympathy from anyone. I am just an old man who worked more hours than most to achieve the American Dream. After 17 years of retirement I am convinced that my government is close to destroying my savings for as punishment for being successful. Obama’s obsession to share the wealth is destroying those of us that saved to take care of ourselves

Obama and his progressive army have finished destroying the American Dream of home ownership. Carter started the eventual demise a long time ago. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd protected the scam with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac until the bubble burst. Barney still stands before the cameras to defend these government mismanaged organizations today.

Our government could not manage a bankrupt whorehouse in Nevada. How on God’s green earth did anyone with a third grade education, ever expect them to run Amtrak, the Postal Service, TVA, General Motors or Chrysler and break even, much less make a profit? Now the flood of new government regulations is destroying all businesses with idiotic and wasteful constraints.

In the last few days my IRA has suffered a near suicide. Does Obama or Congress care? No, they are on vacation and with their pensions, could care less that they have wiped out the savings of millions of senior citizens. For twenty seven years of service with a large defense contractor, I receive a pension of $221.47 per month. This will not even pay for the Medicare supplement for my wife and me.

I spent the last eleven years of my work life with one tall hill to climb. I knew before I started my first business what my pension would be. As I have a Masters in Business it was obvious that my future retirement would require personal savings to insure that we would survive old age.

In those eleven years I average 225 nights a year in hotels in over 27 countries and 49 states. I missed birthdays, anniversaries, my children’s school events and death in my family. Several of these trips exceeded 5 weeks and I amassed over 2 million miles on airplanes. Obviously my family also suffered.

Finally at age 64 I had saved enough to retire and with my savings in my IRA I felt secure. I had no fear that my children would not be burdened with caring for us when the time arose. I was blessed with a mind, driven to succeed and actually achieved every goal I had made for myself. Few honest people ever reach this pinnacle of success.

We are constantly asked if we are better off now than in the past by the self-ordained blood sucking saviors in Washington. Until Bush Two and Obama came along I could honestly say I have had a better life than most. I was better off each year as compound interest and long term investments were successful in maintaining my savings.

If Obama’s changes continue to improve as he keeps preaching, my savings will completely disappear before he completes his first term. If he wins another 4 years my children will not only have to take care of us, my grand children will never have a chance to even retire.

My question, especially to senior citizens, is your life these past four years better or worse than you expected?

I expect some feedback that I should have buried my savings in a fruit jar and it would all still be there. Well my 1994 dollars would be worth about $.38 cents today. If Washington keeps helping us with spending more than we have, will it be worth anything next year?

One more question. How many people, who are not working for the government, on welfare or drawing unemployment, feel they will be better off next year? I will be happy to share your names with everyone I can and I will try to sell you my “Golden Goose”. I got my goose from Washington with a promise that our government is always there to help me “out”. They just never explained what “out” was. “Out” seems to really be, “out” of luck, “out” of money, “out” of hope, hurry up and croak and get “out” of the way.

POLITICAL SUICIDE

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

IS ON SUICIDE WATCH AGAIN

MAY THEY REST IN PEACE

 

Watching the Republican Party enter the self-destruct mode again is one of the most disappointing events of my near 81 years. I was born a conservative Texas Democrat like all Texans during the depression. It did take a few years to realize that the progressive liberals like Lyndon Johnson had hijacked the Democratic Party. The first Republican I ever voted for was Eisenhower. He welcomed conservatives and helped bring Americans together as freedom loving people. He helped heal the wounds caused by the loss of so many young Americans who died defending our right to be free.

Kennedy, a conservative Democrat, would spin in his grave if he could see how Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama have destroyed our freedoms, religion, ethics and the help thy brother society I grew up in. Now we have a welfare and alien society that expects the government to provide cradle to grave everything. Johnson did more damage to the Republic than every Progressive that ever served as President, including both Roosevelt’s and Wilson.

Nixon’s performance left the Presidency and the Republican Party with a well earned image of ethical failure. Ford then governed on cruise control. These two are responsible for four years of Carter. Carter almost destroyed our military and his foreign relations made Americans look like cowards. Until Obama was elected, Carter would have been remembered as the worst President in modern times. His dismal performance did cause Americans to elect the best President in my lifetime, Ronald Regan.  Reagan did revive the era of togetherness that we had in the Eisenhower years. Daddy Bush followed the path of Ford to not rock the boat and get back on cruise control. He will be remembered for his Foot in the Mouth stance on raising taxes. His weakness gave us Clinton and another race to become a Socialist Democracy instead of a Republic.

Bi-partisanship, proved successful by Regan, died when Clinton was elected. George W. Bush was a revival of the progressive wing of the Republican Party that had been ousted before I was born. He knew how to take advantage of a crisis better than Saul Alinsky and Obama. Bush’s mismanagement of the economy, allowing the illegal invasion to destroy education, healthcare and Medicare Part “D” along with McCain’s nomination signaled the impending death of the Republican Party. The Democrats won the election with Karl Marx Jr. as their nominee using the name Husain Obama.

Obama will be remembered as the best “Snake Oil Salesman” since P.T Barnum. This fellow is a master of deception, smooth with words and as honest as Andy Stern or George Soros. He captivates the women voters and with the help of our progressive university professors, he has hypnotized the young voters to demand a socialist society as the future for America.

As bad as Obama’s performance has been, he still maintained control of his lackeys in the Senate after the last election. What has resulted could be called a stroke of genius if he had actually planned losing control of the House of Representatives. If he ever learns to keep his mouth shut he will win another term as the republicans are destroying themselves.

We have never had a two party system in America. Even if you watch the Progressive main stream media, they report three groups of voters as Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Let me summarize some facts.

A. Democrats have the unions, all government employees, the poor, the weak, the illegal’s, the dead, the inmates and the uninformed that always vote democratic. They also control the majority of academic professors, lawyers and multi-national business leaders. Democrats represent about one third of the voters.

B.  Independents appear to be the people who can be swayed to believe the candidate that has the most money to expose themselves. I like to see them as individuals with few principles of their own. Sadly the majority of senior’s that were never part of the Democratic population noted in “A” above, now reside in this category. They just go with the flow, regardless of ethics and principals, as long as they believe they will get social security and Medicare. Most seniors on Medicare have no knowledge that their Medicare premiums will be increased by 150% by 2014. This group usually represents about one third of the voters.

C. We actually have three Republican Party’s. The Roe vs Wade abortion decision divided them many years ago. Nomination of a freedom of choice candidate will cause one third of the base to just not vote or back a third party. One example is when Ross Perot divided the party and got Clinton elected. Next you have the Libertarian’s who divide the party with their isolationist principals. They split the vote that got Obama elected. Now we have the Tea Party group. They have the support of most conservatives like myself but are not satisfied with orderly transition. You can’t eat a donkey in one bite. Even when all three segments unite they only represent about one third of all voters. The Tea Party will finish destroying the party in 2012 by splitting the Republican vote again.

The Tea Party thinks it can save the Republican Party when in fact they are destroying it with warp speed. The internal bickering happening today in the House of Representatives will be the real reason that Obama will win another term. That is if he will stop running off at the mouth and let the Republicans get him re-elected.

I know I am too old to see another Reagan emerge to re-establish a cohesive Republican Party. No one yet has shown believable leadership characteristics within the multitude running for the Republican nomination.

If Obama can cure his “Foot in his Mouth” disease he will be a two-term President and finish destroying our “Republic” with a Socialist Democracy he was brain washed to accomplish.

Americans prepare to kiss your freedoms goodbye and God help my grandchildren who will not have a better life than I did.
