I have been informed by all the hard working people of America, that the only person who has done any work in the past 8 years and received all the blame is George W. Bush Jr. So he has earned his presidential salary. As Speaker of the House Pelosi has stated, all the problems and everything that has gone wrong during the past 8 years has been George W Bush’s fault. You sorry Congresspersons and Senators, regardless of party affiliation, have been lackadaisical and derelict in your duties. Based on your failure to perform your appointed duties for the past 8 years, I demand that you return all salaries and benefits that you have received to the US treasury. Because, as you know, the only person who has done anything the past 8 years has been the president, George W Bush Jr.
And dear Ms. Pelosi, I did not forget you, you had the audacity to call George W Bush Jr., the president of the USA, a loser, which showed gross disrespect to the office of the president of the USA. And if you had said that as a member of the military you could have been tried for insubordination to the Commander in Chief of the armed services of the USA and sedition. And furthermore, you at the time you called him a loser, he had a 27% approval rating and you, as the Speaker of the House, only had a 9% approval rating who is the loser?
To all of you sorry left wing bleeding heart liberal Democrats and Republicans who think that we should become a socialistic country, please do me and every patriotic American a favor, move to California and secede from the union and become your own country. Because every one knows that our forefathers created this country based on capitalism. In order to achieve the American dream you have to work hard, study hard and not be one of the lazy ass citizens who feel that the government owes them something. John F Kennedy said it best “It is not what your country can do for you; it is what you can do for your country”. Please let me know what address I can send the first contribution to establish this left wing liberal socialistic country you wish to become because as you all know Americans are very charitable. We just don’t like our hard earned money taking from us by a socialistic leadership and given to the lazy ass citizens who feel America owes them something. America owes you nothing but a safe and secure place to achieve what ever you want.

Angry? Who, me? by JD Pendry
Taken from the Internet.
October 12th, 2008
J. D. Pendry
Mob mentality? Racist? This I hear from the people who have never had a decent or kind word to say about any African-American who holds conservative views. From this foul-mouthed morally deficient garbage who viciously slanders a pregnant seventeen-year-old girl and her mother, I am now called racist for questioning the character of their chosen one. These people wonder aloud why a mother would not abort a Down syndrome baby. I love these selfless and thoughtful attitudes. This collection of reprobates believes that race and gender counts only if the woman is like Madonna or the man some foul-mouthed Ludacris like thug rapper.
I do not like to share much of my private life, but just for the record, I have been one-half of an interracial marriage for going on 36 years. The two men I count as most influential in my 28 years in the Army were a Puerto Rican First Sergeant named Pedro Olivari and a Black Sergeant Major named Jim White. One thing I have learned about the left leaners is they like to project their personalities onto others. The most bigoted are the first to call others bigots. You possess no morals, no ethics and to use your favorite expression, no tolerance for someone whose beliefs differ from yours. So spare me.
They lament the dangers of second hand tobacco smoke and carbon fuel while tossing botched abortion babies into utility closets to die. Yes, I suppose that I am just a tad bit angry. I am angry that the greatest country on earth is being stolen by a morally relativist collection of complete idiots. They have a utopian mindset. Their utopia is one of moral relativism where if it feels good to you do it and virtually anything is acceptable. Their utopia has no higher moral standard to trump their absence of a moral standard. This is why God must be removed from public and private life. They expect me to support and pay for their utopia with my tax dollars. I have breaking news for them. I hereby declare my half acre of hillside its own country and appoint myself as benevolent dictator for life. I could make many improvements to my new country, including my new “green” bunker, with the tax dollars I donated to Fannie, Freddie and their enabling Democrat politicians. Patriots do not pay taxes to regimes they do not support. I expect the William Ayers branded public education system probably removed the lessons of the Boston Tea Party from the curriculum. The education system they hope will enable them to provide America with the change they believe in.
Maybe these intellectually superior people can answer some simple questions for an old country boy. Why does the great American propaganda machine, which is in case you might not be aware is the cabal of major American print and broadcast media, send a legion of dumpster diving Obama sycophants to Wasilla, Alaska yet does not provide anything factual or relevant about their savior except that he makes their legs all tingly. Never has a more dangerous scam been forced on to the American people than the fraud being perpetrated now. In America, I can and should question the character of the man who wants to lead us. Lord knows I was not kind to John McCain in the past when I mentioned my fears that he could be bad for the military. No one called me names for that. Character counts and when I am attacked and called racist for raising legitimate concerns of character and judgment, I am no longer in America. I am in the precursor to some fascist hellhole akin to North Korea or Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, but it is not America.
For eight years, all that we have heard from these purveyors of objective journalism is what a rotten no account scoundrel is George Bush. No mention of the absence of attacks since 9/11. No mention of the successes of our Warriors. Then they run panting to their keyboards to tell us that their polls show that only 39 percent of Americans approve of him. They forget to mention, however, that their version of utopia is led by a left wing Congress that 90 percent of Americans count as a complete failure. They forget to tell us about Barney Frank and his gay lover who worked over at Fannie Mae while Barney was on the Banking Committee. They do not talk about Chris Dodd getting sweetheart mortgage deals and the most campaign funds of anyone from Fannie. They do not point out that Obama is number two on the all-time list of recipients of Fannie campaign dollars. They do not think anything of impeached federal judge, now Congressman Alcee Hastings saying that Governor Palin would not care what she does to Jews or Blacks. No one noticed that Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, called Obama the messiah. They do not point out the painfully obvious, which is that the only difference between Bill Ayers and Timothy McVeigh is the body count. They do not talk about Obama’s almost 20-year relationship with ACORN and its direct links to the mortgage and banking meltdown and nationwide voter fraud and that it was paid 800 thousand dollars by him to work for his campaign. No one points out that skewed and fraudulent voter registrations also skew the poll results taken by the pollsters who rely on voter registration lists, which is just another piece of a well-crafted propaganda campaign.
Ayers, Rezko, Odinga, Wright, Davis, ACORN… none of those political alliances matter, but a pregnant seventeen-year-old and a disabled American Warrior who cannot use a computer now those are real issues.
Angry? No not yet, but I am getting there.

545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ .
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems!!!
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation,' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They and they alone, have the power. They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Bail out for the Stock Market
Well, I hope that we have a lot of grandchildren who can make the money to pay back the bail out of the rich. What is wrong with this picture?
1. A hardworking citizen of the United States of America has a small business and is making a living when the economy goes bad and it looks like he is going to lose his business. Who is going to bail him or her out? Answer no one and he or she will lose everything.
2. Rich hardworking citizen of the United States of America has a very big business and is making a killing when the economy goes bad. Who is going to bail out their business? Answer all the citizens of the United States of America including the hardworking citizens who lost their business.
I do not believe that we as the citizens of the United States of America should have to bail out the rich. The stock market is no different then a casino, you buy stock hoping that it will go up and if it goes up your get profit, but if it goes down you lose your money. In a casino you put your money in hoping to hit the jackpot, if you do, you make a profit, if you don’t, you lose your money.

God and our American Presidents...
I took this from the e-net
George Washington:"The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations." - George Washington's letter of August 20, 1778 to Brig. General Thomas Nelson
"Almighty and eternal Lord God, the great Creator of heaven and earth, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; look down from heaven in pity and compassion upon me Thy servant, who humbly prostrate myself before Thee." - George Washington's prayer at Valley Forge
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.... And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure; reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. 'Tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government." - Farewell Address, 1796
John Adams:"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.... Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
James Madison, the chief architect of the Constitution: "We have staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
James Monroe:"The liberty, prosperity, and the happiness of our country will always be the object of my most fervent prayers to the Supreme Author of All Good." - March 5, 1821 in his Second Inaugural Address
John Quincy Adams:"It is no slight testimonial, both to the merit and worth of Christianity, that in all ages since its promulgation the great mass of those who have risen to eminence by their profound wisdom and integrity have recognized and reverenced Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of the living God."
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led our nation through the Civil War. On March 30, 1863 President Lincoln, in his Proclamation for a Day of Prayer and Fasting, called the nation to find spiritual strength through prayer:
"Whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord: "And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisement in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people? "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. "But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. "Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! "It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness... All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessing no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace."
Woodrow Wilson:“America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.”
Teddy Roosevelt, 1917:"... in this actual world, a churchless community where men have abandoned or scoffed at or ignored their religious needs is a community on the rapid downgrade."
Calvin Coolidge:Unless we cling to the "things of the spirit," Coolidge warns,"all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage that has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped."
Dwight Eisenhower: "Without God, there can be no American form of government, nor an American way of life."
Harry Truman:"The fundamental basis of this nation's law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teaching we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days. I f we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anybody except the state."
Ronald Reagan: "If America ever ceases to be a nation under God, we will simply become a nation gone under."
"Government growing beyond our consent had become a lumbering giant, slamming shut the gates of opportunity, threatening to crush the very roots of our freedom. What brought America back? The American people brought us back -- with quiet courage and common sense; with undying faith that in this nation under God the future will be ours, for the future belongs to the free." - State of the Union Address, February 4, 1986
George W. Bush: "Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."
"I believe all these things because freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world."
"America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienable right for life. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government because it does not come from government, it comes from the Creator of life."
"Faith gives the assurance that our lives and our history have a moral design."
George Washington:"The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations." - George Washington's letter of August 20, 1778 to Brig. General Thomas Nelson

We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped."
Dwight Eisenhower: "Without God, there can be no American form of government, nor an American way of life."
Harry Truman:"The fundamental basis of this nation's law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teaching we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days. I f we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anybody except the state."
Ronald Reagan: "If America ever ceases to be a nation under God, we will simply become a nation gone under."
"Government growing beyond our consent had become a lumbering giant, slamming shut the gates of opportunity, threatening to crush the very roots of our freedom. What brought America back? The American people brought us back -- with quiet courage and common sense; with undying faith that in this nation under God the future will be ours, for the future belongs to the free." - State of the Union Address, February 4, 1986
George W. Bush: "Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."
"I believe all these things because freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world."
"America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienable right for life. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government because it does not come from government, it comes from the Creator of life."
"Faith gives the assurance that our lives and our history have a moral design."

America
I remember as a small child, living on an Air Force Base in South Carolina, a band and a formation of Airmen carrying the flag of the United States marched by; in my child mind I felt happiness and pride and I thought the five hundred airman marching by was the biggest army in the world.
Today after 50 years of time and 20 years serving in the U.S. Army, whenever the national anthem is played or the flag of the United States is marched by me, I get tears in my eyes for all the dead and injured members of the Armed Forces who have given far and beyond what the average American citizen gives in a life time.
I think of all the prayers said over the graves of the dead and all the prayers said before and during the multiple armed conflicts that our service members have fought to keep America free.
I then think of a government without GOD and what it would mean to all of those who died to keep America safe and what would our forefathers think. I have come to the conclusion that there can be no America without GOD.
America was built by people who had their bible in one hand and their gun in the other. America would not be here without GOD and the gun.
The moral fiber of America has changed to where if it feels good, do it, you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourself.
They call themselves the beautiful people of Hollywood. The rich and fames decide what is right and what is wrong. They make a movie glorifying the most vile and disgusting things and want the American people to accept it as normal. They tell us that we are wrong to not want to hear the nasty music lyrics in public.
They tell use that the bible is old fashion and has no place in today’s America. Satan is alive and well in their hearts. No GOD, no peace and no America.
