On Immigration Reform/Part I

By Admin, July 1, 2010 5:43 pm

From A Texan: 
 

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Civil War, my father watched as his friends died in WW I and WW II, and I watched as my friends died in Vietnam.  None of them died for the Mexican Flag.  Everyone died for the U.S. flag.  Just this week, here  in Texas , a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down.  Guess who was expelled…the kid who took it down.  Kids in high school in California were sent home this week on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.  Enough is enough.  The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America .  We’ve bent over to appease the America-haters long enough.  I’m taking a stand.  I’m standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can’t stand up.  If you agree, stand up with me.  If you disagree, please let me know.  I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.  And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.  

 


  
   A Map Of My Country:

Let me make this perfectly clear!

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

And, because I make this statement

DOES NOT  

Mean I’m against immigration!!!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY!  
 

Welcome! To come through legally:

1. Get  a sponsor!
 

2. Get a place to lay your head!

3. Get a job!

4. Live By OUR Rules!

5. Pay YOUR Taxes!

And

6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants

have in the past!!!  

AND

7. Please don’t demand that we hand over our lifetime

savings of Social Security Funds to you.

If you don’t want to forward this for fear of offending someone,

Then YOU’RE  PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

We’ve gone so far the other way…

bent over backwards not to offend anyone.  

But it seems no one cares about the  


   AMERICAN CITIZEN  


that’s being offended!

WAKE UP America !!!

California should consider the Arizona Law

By Admin, May 25, 2010 6:07 pm

This is why California is bankrupt. 

 

 Just  One State - be sure and read the last part..


This is only one State and they will do this to the whole Country…………….If this doesn’t open eyes, nothing will!  
  

 From the L. A. Times

 

1. 40% of all workers in  L. A.   County  ( L.   A.   County   has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes.    This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2.  
95% 
of warrants for murder in  Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3.  
75% 
of people on the most wanted list in  Los Angeles  are illegal aliens.  
4. Over 2/3 of all births in  Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. 
Nearly 35% 
of all inmates in  California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. 
Over 300,000 illegal aliens 
in  Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7… The FBI reports half of all gang members in  Los Angeles  are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
Nearly 60% 
of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are 10.2 million people in  L.   A.   County .)
    
 
 (All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times) 

    
  Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 
29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the  United States ‘ annual population growth(and over 90% of  California ,  Florida , and  New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens .  
    
  We are fools for letting this continue  
    
  HOW CAN YOU HELP ?
    
  Send copies of this letter to at least two other people.  100 would  be even better.
  This  is only one State…………..
    
If this doesn’t open your eyes nothing will, and you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!
     
                                             *************************************

LET’S IMPEACH HER NOW BEFORE SHE DOES FURTHER DAMAGE!!  WHAT AN IDIOT!!
IF YOU DON’T AGREE JUST DELETE–IF YOU DO–PASS IT ON!!  WHERE DO WE GET THESE MORONS?

Windfall Tax on Retirement Income 


Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That’s what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below…………..
 

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income.  In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.
 

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds!

 

Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
 

This woman is frightening and now that she thinks she got the Health Care Bill passed she is coming after all the money she can steal from you too!
 

She quotes…’ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.’  (I am not rich, are you?)
 

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
 

‘We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘Americans’.'  

(Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.)  ‘Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it’.  
 

Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

Arizona SB1070

By Admin, May 24, 2010 5:26 pm

      I’m Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen.  I want to explain SB 1070 for which I voted yes.  Rancher Robert Krentz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago.  I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.

     The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property.  One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash.  In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.  Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation.  A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards.  These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way.  This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.  One man told of two illegal’s who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them.  Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can’t leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.

     The border patrol is not on the border.  They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion.  They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering.  They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border.  Federal prisons have over 35% illegal’s and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegal’s.  In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.  The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.

     The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states .  We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use.  Education costs have been over a billion dollars.  The healthcare cost billions of dollars.  Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make.  One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally.  It has to stop.

     The border can be secured.  We have the technology and we have the ability to stop this invasion.  We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country.  We are a nation of laws.  We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under.  I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure.  It will do no good to give them amnesty because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders.  I ask you what form of government will we live under?  How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central American or South American country?  We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish.  We have already lost our history, it is no longer taught in our schools, and we have lost our borders.

     The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do.  It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany.  Are you kidding?  The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal’s from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving  state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause, like a traffic stop, to determine if they are here legally.  Federal law is very clear, if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times.  That is the law.  In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID.  This is what you need to vote or get a hunting license.  So nothing new has been added to this law.  No one is going to be stopped walking down the street.  The Socialists who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something.  The Socialists wants us to just let them come.  They want the “Transformation” to continue.

     Maybe it is too late to save America .  Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore.  But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic .  Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border.  Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution, the law of our land, which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

Senator Sylvia Allen .

God always win

By Admin, November 4, 2009 10:29 pm

God always win I stayed up until midnight last night watching the election returns for Governor of VA and New Jersey, as a conservative I was thrilled. For the Conservatives and the Republican Party, don’t be too quick in grapping the prize, it’s not yours yet. You know the Liberal Machine will come out with everything they have and then add lies to it. Let’s keep one thing in mind as we go forward towards the mid-term elections, don’t run against your opponent, run on your vision for the future of America, don’t run against your opponent, run against Obama and do not allow the liberal machine (particularly the left-wing main news media) to set the standard for conservatives-Republicans-faith based Christians by their accusations of bigotry and racism; set your own standard with substance and godliness and advise the secular progressives to “kiss your ass”. Why not? They lie about you, they follow a double standard and with a smile stab you in the back knowing you won’t complain because you are held to higher standard morally; surprise them.For the Democrats and Obama: I accept that most of you are secular and don’t believe that GOD is in command, but it really doesn’t matter what any of us believes. The end result is always what God has purposed for that precise moment. America, God turned his back on this administration last April when in less than two weeks our President proclaimed that we were not a Christian nation and bowed at the seat of Satan, yes Mecca is the seat of Satan. Some 3500 years ago in 1491 BC the most powerful empire with the most powerful military thought they were only dealing with a “nobody” group of Hebrews, Egypt lost, they were dealing with God. King David and King Solomon both had great passions when it came to women and David even sent his top general sent into the midst of battle to die so he (King David) could have the general’s wife; yet these two kings were loved of God and greatly rewarded. On the other hand King Saul only refused to take the head of the king of Amalek and for that he was disowned of God and the kingdom was taken away from him, Amalek was the perpetual enemy of God dating back to the Exodus and Saul had been told of God to spare no one. After the Roman Empire fell there was still some form of that empire around but it would have been recognized as West Rome and East Rome (east would have represented the Middle East). A new and very young ruler in West Rome set out to reunited the Roman Empire and actually doing well and there was not a military strong enough around to stop him. But God was not ready for the fourth beast. In 538 AD just as it appeared that the Roman Empire would be revived the Plague kills 100 million and over half of the population of Europe died, and so did Rome. Barack Obama, God turned his back on you last April and all of the baby killers, gay activists, Hollywood liberals, labor unions, earth people, “green” activists, conservative haters and your inner circle of “America” haters cannot save your presidency; only God can. For whatever its worth, everything you want will come to be, God just isn’t ready for it at this time. You can still do it, just not without God.

Chicago Style Strong-Arm from the White House

By Admin, October 20, 2009 7:08 pm

Chicago Style Strong-Arm from the White HouseDuring the last couple of days the White House has declared “war” on Fox News and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. First and most important, any administration that so blatantly would use its power to indirectly silence any that disagree with polices/appointees/actions been considered should raise alarm and second, why would a President this smart and popular have to resort to such tactics. We have to consider the possibility that everything coming out of Fox News and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is so completely true that it cannot be challenged or simply as I have stated often since last January that this President is so arrogant and “thin-skinned” that he WILL NOT BE questioned. Regardless of what you may want to believe or “not believe” one thing is obvious; this White House and Democratic controlled Congress have plenty to hide from the American People. What we are seeing and hearing from the White House is nothing new; this is “Chicago Style Politics” at its most basic form. It is all out of the “liberal” play book, say something (anything) loud enough and often enough and people will believe it. Remember folks, these “secular progressive” liberals don’t utilize logic, logic is a menace; they don’t deal in truth, truth is the enemy. They aren’t accountable and have no creditability, why should they, they been feeding the poor, the Hispanics, the blacks, seniors and the lazy that refuse to work crumbs off the table for so long that those “votes” are secured. Should occasion arise that conservative groups challenge them in a manner that is threatening, these ungodly liberals resort to an “enhanced” from of power grab; it is called “propaganda” YES I’m calling the top senior advisors and Obama “propagandists”. They are too smart to believe they can control the truth so they resort to controlling the information through propaganda and controlling the perception of that information. They cannot win this war and only are providing more dissent in Washington and the American People keep asking: Didn’t you promise us something different? Is this the change we voted for? I think Not.

The FED does not know what’s it is doing.

Preemptive Tightening from THIS Fed?
You Can’t Be Serious.

by Mike Larson Dear Subscriber,

Mike Larson

This week’s Federal Reserve meeting was supposed to be a big deal. Ahead of the two-day gathering, I don’t know how many stories I read suggesting that the Fed might start laying the groundwork for “preemptive” tightening in one form or another. They wouldn’t raise rates. But they would start pulling back on their extreme easy money policies, the argument went.My response: “Are you kidding me?!”THIS Fed?The one with “Helicopter” Ben Bernanke at the helm?No way!

Internal Sponsorship
Protect Yourself and ProfitRecord-shattering federal deficits and debt … the largest treasury auctions of all time … out-of-control money printing at the Fed … all factors contributing to the erosion of the U.S. dollar. But there’s still time! You can shield yourself, your family, your savings and your investments from disaster as this great dollar decline crushes the value of your money. More than that: There are many ways to harness this historic convulsion to keep your wealth growing.Click here to learn more about our FREE online seminar …
 

I thought a much more likely scenario would be: They’ll keep the monetary spigot wide open … they’ll move extremely gradually … and they’ll likely screw things up again, helping encourage new bubbles in other parts of the asset markets.

Bernanke's message on Wednesday: Party on!
Bernanke’s message on Wednesday: Party on!

Sure enough, that’s exactly what happened! The news released on Wednesday:

  • The Fed kept its interest rate target unchanged at 0 percent to 0.25 percent.
  • The Fed said the economy was getting better, but that it didn’t care. It would still maintain “exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.”
  • And the Fed said it will stick to its plan to buy $1.45 trillion in mortgage backed securities and “agency” debt sold by the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It even extended the program from year-end through the first quarter of 2010.

In other words, the message to the markets from the Fed is clear: Party on!The Fed Consistently Errs On the Side Of
Easy Money — Over and Over and Over
Why am I being so blunt? Why am I so sure we’re going to see the same movie … again? Because of recent history.Starting with Alan Greenspan two decades ago — and continuing under Ben Bernanke — the Fed has become a gigantic enabler of financial risk-taking. The prescription for every downturn in the economy or financial market shock has been the same: Throw money at the problem!Long-Term Capital Management blows up? Cut rates! Y2K bug threatens banks? Flood the system with cheap money! Dot-com bust? Housing bust? Recession? Drive rates into the gutter!The risk of this strategy is abundantly clear … it keeps fueling new bubbles in the wake of the old ones. Even the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development weighed in on this topic a few days ago, warning that a key risk right now is “the reigniting of rolling asset bubbles through easy monetary policy.”But the Fed shows no sign of changing course. Worse, the Fed has consistently maintained this asinine asymmetric policy toward asset bubbles.

Six Relentless Dividend Payers to Get You Through Any MarketThese six stocks have all the things you need to look for in today’s market. They’ve been paying increasing dividends for decades — even centuries. They’re attractively valued. And best of all they’re now yielding 34% more than usual.Get the full story here …
 

What do I mean by that? Policymakers openly admitted to a policy of IGNORING bubbles as they inflated. They justified doing so by saying that:

  1. It was too hard to identify bubbles, and
  2. Even if they could identify them, they’d have to raise rates so much to tamp them down that the economy would suffer.

Instead, the Fed claimed the better approach was to wait until the bubbles popped, then try to clean up the mess with cheap money.No I’m not joking. This is what went for serious economic thinking at the Fed.You and I can easily see how that policy has laid waste to the economy and investors twice over — once in tech stocks and then in real estate. But the Fed still doesn’t appear to be making a wholesale shift in its policy toward asset bubbles.The Fed-Fueled Consequences —
And How to Protect Yourself from Them
That brings me to the present …

The Fed fueled the housing bubble by continually chopping interest rates to the bone.
The Fed fueled the housing bubble by continually chopping interest rates to the bone.

Why would anyone seriously think the Fed will preemptively hike rates? Or take steps to pull back its extraordinary financial support BEFORE it creates another bubble? In recent years, the Fed has NEVER proven itself willing to do so.Why do you think we had the biggest housing bubble of all time? Because the Fed kept money too cheap for too long (among other reasons). Then when they did start hiking rates, they did so in predictable, quarter-point steps spread out over a span of more than a year.Why do you think the dollar is falling out of bed right now? Because other central banks in places like Norway and Australia are sending out signals that they might raise rates soon, while our Fed is making no such shift in its policy stance.Why do you think gold has exploded above $1,000 an ounce? Crude oil has more than doubled from its lows? Sugar prices are up 88 percent? Copper is up 105 percent? Lead has soared 125 percent? Some of it is fundamentally driven — tighter supply, stronger demand. But a significant chunk of those moves is pure monetary policy-driven asset inflation.

Now is the time to protect your wealth by investing in contra-dollar assets, like gold.
Now is the time to protect your wealth by investing in contra-dollar assets, like gold.

And you know what? Bernanke doesn’t care! He doesn’t care if that means we pay more at the grocery store or the gas pump. He doesn’t care if it costs more to travel overseas, or if the purchasing power of our currency collapses. He doesn’t give a hoot about the fact that his monetary policy is enabling the biggest debt binge Treasury has ever embarked on.But I hope you care. And I hope you’re taking steps to protect yourself — by investing in contra-dollar assets (including gold) and avoiding long-term bonds. The Fed sure as heck isn’t watching out for your interests, which means that you need to!Until next time,Mike

Here We Go Again

By Admin, August 12, 2009 6:40 pm

Here We Go Again  Today at the awarding of the “American Medal of Freedom” to sixteen recipients President Obama apologized on National T.V. to those who may not be AmericanGive me a break, if been an American in America needs an apology less we offend those that are not American; t hen those who are in America and are not American and hate us for been American need to pack their bags and move to a Muslim country;  in those countries you folks would be imprisoned for been there illegally, stoned for having sex outside of marriage, deprived of “freedom of speech” and all gays would be tortured.  In a short six and a half months our President has apologized to the Germans, French, English, Spanish, Muslims, Gays, Labor Unions, Terrorists, and Illegal Immigrants while stating that we are not a Christian Nation and that we are a nation without borders. Two major problems with this line of thinking Mr. President; (1) your apologies to all of these countries and peoples were of America (under Bush of course) been cocky, arrogant, dismissive, derisive, excluding and uncompromising.  Open your eyes Barack Obama; all these traits are preciously what Pelosi, Reid and Obama are currently putting in motion in their dealings with Conservatives, Christians, the Minority in Congress and the hard working middle class Americans.  (2) Nation without borders you say, the problem here is that this line of thinking only applies to Mexicans coming   into American; many of whom are criminals and drug dealers. Americans are in fact constrained by these borders, and without recourse.  A question for you Mr. President, if 81% of Americans call themselves Christians, why haven’t you apologized to us;  is it because we love America and the only people you ever apologize to is those who either hate America or want to kill us.

RACISM: The Gates/Crowley incident:

By Admin, July 24, 2009 2:35 pm

RACISM: The Gates/Crowley incident:I was not going to write on this situation because incidents of racism, discrimination and/or of a racial nature occur daily throughout the country, many times the real culprit been economic deprivation, educational levels of achievements and more than often  “political correctness” or the lack there of.But I have to write on this after hearing of the officer’s background and the “complete” support he has received from all. President Obama made a mistake with his remarks, let’s leave that there and continue with where the real problem lies.Yes, there was racism involved. But it was not on the part of the police officer (Crowley) who is white; the racist and bigot in the incident is the University Professor, (Gates) who is black. I’m not going to take up time with all the details of the incident but rather write on the feedback of the incident.All the statements from supporters of the police officer dealt with facts based on the incident, no one even remotely excused any action on his part without evidence or past history behavior to support vindication.All statements from supporters and the liberal pundits of Professor Gates stated opinion, past racial incidents and consistently simply said that things could have been done differently. Yes, things could been done differently: How about Professor Gates saying something like “thank you officer for protecting my home, however, I’m Professor Gates and this is my home, here’s my identification” But No, this ungodly liberal (my way or the highway)became incensed with the thought that a white man would question a man of his statue.Why is it that it’s only racism when the black person is a liberal and in fact these same liberals of color have no problem trying to destroy the lives of blacks who happen to be conservative? HELLO: remember the names Conde Rice, Clarence Thomas, Estrada, Gonzales, Michael Steele, etc.I think it would be in order for someone out there with the resources to conduct a complete review of the last 30 years of this RACIST.

Things look good, they say: I say Depression ahead

By Admin, July 15, 2009 5:54 pm

Things look good, they say: I say Depression ahead//15 Jun 2009   I wrote yesterday that I would continue this line of thinking next week; it cannot wait until next week. Here is what I heard from various sources throughout the week: Labor department, the FED, Wall Street analyses, various economic experts throughout the TV news and talk shows and of course the political pundits that will say anything to make this White House look good.1.                   Yield on 10-year note up 20 percentage points: that’s good2.                  Gold went up for the first time in six weeks: that’s good3.                  Mortgage applications up for 2 or 3 weeks going: that’s good4.                  Stock Market  recovering some losses and actually up 2 % as of Monday: that’s good5.                  Report that the CPI is up .07% in Jun, higher than expected: that’s good?My question mark there is because inflation also rose in Jun by 1.8%, double what expected. Some out there are beginning to softly speak of the possibility that this “Bust” is close to the bottom and another “Bubble” is just around the corner; and some of these economic analysts I have followed for years and like their line of thinking; however I believe they are all wrong this time. I am sticking to what I wrote back January, in May, in June and yesterday, and that is, we are bracing for a Depression unlike anything in 200 years. This “Real Estate/Credit Markets” bust is not over until commercial real estate takes a plunge and some 90-160 banks fail(conservative figure). This commercial real estate and bank failures will add to the unemployment woes. Our Nation is going deeper in debt and just tripled the budget; and we haven’t even added the cost of Universal Health Care and the Energy Bill. All of these combined with the hundreds of billions in bailout for companies which will fail regardless will certainly create inflation. I fully accept that there various models for identifying “inflation” and certainly this White House will use a formula or model advantageous to their agenda; however, the bottom line on identifying inflation is the “decreased buying power” of the dollar.All of this is not even the worst case scenario, there is something coming that will have us wishing for the days of inflation. I’m talking about deflation and I will express my thoughts on this next week and share with you some historical data that has me convinced of the coming depression.

Democratic controlled Congress confused

By Admin, July 14, 2009 6:40 pm

Democratic controlled Congress confusedIf it wasn’t so alarming and stupid it would be funny. I watched on the news all evening as most of the Democratic leadership in both the House and Senate ask for inquiries and investigations of the Bush people who were involved in a program to kill some top terrorists leadership, one congressman even suggested that Bush himself should answer to Congress. Three things: (1) is killing the top terrorist top leadership such a bad thing? If it is, you are weak on National Security or worse, are willing to sell out to the terrorists for political advantage. (2) You are offended that you were left out of the picture and feel that you lost some of your powers, the funny thing here is, that in a short six months you have bowed at the feet of “Mr. Super Star” and surrendered all your powers while he hires 30 CZARS that don’t answer to anyone outside of the White House, to run the country. You have lost all of y our “checks and balances” responsibilities in allowing this imbecile to completely defy everything this country used to stand for. (3) Obama Team USA is doing so badly that the only way to maintain some form of stability in the White House is to do what you have done for 8 years, blame Bush for everything. Wake up Congress, we are not that stupid, you own it; you break it-you fix it. If this Congress does not soon accept some form of rude awakening and throw this Messiah under the bus, you will soon lose the majority in both the Senate and House. I know you are not worried about that, I know my history, history bears out that in hard times the Democrats control the Congress and 66 per cent of the time even the White House, once you controlled the Congress for almost 40 years. In times past this was true because your party wasn’t filled so much deceit and evil as it is today. We will not retreat in our quest for the salvation of our Constitution and I assure you that within the next 30 months you will see that your  eloquent speaker President is in fact not a combination of JFK, FDR, ABE and Ronald Reagan but 100 % Jimmy Carter.
