AMERICA’S NEW ANTHEM -----“WHAT HAVE WE DONE” by Gen. Jim Cash

After all the warnings, hand wringing, and savage talk, America chose to do what would never be thought possible only a few years ago---elect a far-left President and Congress hell-bent on "CHANGING" this country into a Socialist State. Sometimes, I wonder how many Americans understand what this really means. My thoughts initially were to give the new President a chance, and not make snap decisions based on out-of-control rhetoric during the campaign. Well, that worked well, and now we are beginning to see that the President is doing exactly what he promised during the campaign, and NO ONE LISTENED!!! The masses were overwhelmed with silver-tongued, no-logic promises that most knew could never be fulfilled.

Soon, the American people will have witnessed enough of this madness. They are a smart lot, and when they have seen enough they will start to ask the big question, "WHAT HAVE WE DONE"? However, the real question will be, "IS IT TOO LATE"?

I do not wish to dwell on the multitude of mistakes that have already been made during the first 60 days of this administration, both foreign and domestic. It must be obvious even to the fiscally irresponsible far-left that the nation is heading unimpeded toward bankruptcy. We hear the President speak often of the deficit. He is not talking about the national debt. He is talking about the rate in which we are increasing the debt. So when he says he will cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, he is actually saying he will cut the rate at which the debt is increasing by the end of his first term. That is absolutely not good enough. Even Bill Clinton, with the help of a Republican Congress, showed a surplus in deficit spending for a short period. That is accomplished only when you have a growing economy. Now equate that to our economic situation today, and it is obvious this is just another fabrication conjured up by this administration. AMERICANS WAKE UP before it is too late. It is highly probably that the debt is not repayable even as we speak, and it is growing at the most alarming rate in history. Just the annual interest on the current debt is larger than our annual military budget.

Quo Warranto: CItizen's Open Letter to Jeffrey Taylor

Following is my letter to US Attorney Jeffery Taylor.  I wrote this letter to encourage him to look into the legitimacy of Barack Obama's Right to occupy the Office of the President.

Here are a couple of links where you can get the background information on the Constitutional Precedent that enables Mr. Jeffery Taylor to demand that Mr. Obama provide a vault copy of his Birth Certificate.

I encourage each of you to write Mr. Taylor and express your desire to end the confusion surrounding Barack Hussain Obama.  Feel free to use my letter as template to write your own.  Remember to be polite and respectful, he is our Public Servant we are empowered as Citizens, to contact him and should do so with civility!

 Following is my letter:

United States Attorney Jeffery Taylor

US Attorney's Office

555 4th Street

Washington, DC 20530

Dear United States Attorney Jeffery Taylor :

As a citizen of the United States of America and person who deeply loves my country, I have a deep concern about a storm that is brewing within the ranks of our Military.  It has come to my attention that many members of our Armed Services are conflicted when it comes to the legitimacy of Mr. Barack Obama’s presidency.  The oath taken by each and every member of our Armed Forces includes the phrase “to uphold the Constitution and to obey the orders of the President of the United States of America”.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not happy with the way things went during this election.  And on that I’m not just referring to the results but also many of candidates running for the various offices. 

            Here, on the county level, it was better.  Most of those running for office were no more or less than they portrayed themselves to be.  A few of them you could just meet and know, without a doubt in your mind, how much this county and the people within it mean to them—men like Ray Nutt and Scott McKee who will, I honestly believe, as Sheriff and District Attorney, do much to make this county a safer place to live.

However on the state and national level, many of the candidates running were less than satisfactory in my opinion.  We don’t need any more politicians who are working for the special interest groups, the big corporations, the drug companies, foreign oil (or any foreign interests for that matter), or for anyone other than we, the people.  We need more people like Congressman Louie Gohmert, Congressman Leo Berman, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and our own Congressman Jeb Hensarling.  We don’t need anymore candidates to seek to be elected out of their desire for the perks and power, with the only campaign promises they intend to fulfill being the ones made behind closed doors to their biggest supporters and special interest groups. 

What we need to do is demand that our elected officials do the job we hired them to do.  We need to demand that the candidates chosen to run are worthy of the position they are seeking rather than simply continuing to hold our nose while we vote. 

Our votes are more valuable than that.  Our votes are what decide the kind of country we leave our children and grandchildren.  And I, for one, want the best for my children and grandchildren as I’m sure you do as well.

How do we do this?  We watch what our elected officials are doing, closely.  We let them know what we want them to do.  We seek out people of honor and integrity to run for office and help them get in office.  Then we pray: for without God we have no hope of maintaining the United States as the greatest nation in the world, nor Texas as the greatest state in the nation.

 

 

This is Melissa Pehle-Hill writing for make-a-statement.org.  Thank you and have a nice day.

Letters From North America by 11-18-08

Two weeks ago, when the election was over, I was in Germany and have to tell you what I read and heard hacked me off.

 

No, it was not the outcome of the election that made me mad, even though my candidate didn’t get elected; I was fine with the voice of the people. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens now.  Putting your campaign promises into the real world takes a lot of doing and I’m anxious to see if the current president elect has what it takes to get the job done for all of us.

 

What ticked me about the Europeans was the fact that they were gloating over the fact that in their minds after 154 years, the Civil War was finally over. As if it had been going on all these years. Where have these people been?

 

I think it’s a great testimony to this country to have elected Barack Obama to the highest office in the land. I don’t agree with his philosophy or the concepts he has put forth, but as I said, once reality sets in, we’ll see if everything he has promised will or can come to fruition.

 

However, having said that it surprises me that the Europeans seem to have a low opinion of us as a country and that somehow we would never be able to elect a minority to the office of President; I don’t see France or Germany rushing to elect anyone who appears to be a minority. In fact all I hear from the folks in those countries is complaining about all of the people moving in from other places.

To the American Patriot from David Hill

For the true American Patriot, the results of this election are nothing to celebrate.  The election of Barack Hussein Obama may very well mark the end of the Greatest Nation our planet has ever witnessed.  I am not saying this because he is black but because of his position or lack of position on many of the most important issues we as Americans face.  One of the issues our future President is against is our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.  Since the inception of this great nation, the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms has protected and fed our families.  In this modern age, the right to bear arms is as important as it was 200 years ago but now we depend on this right more to protect our families than to feed them.  If the economic situation follows the path it is currently on, the need to protect our family will increase as the fire of the failing economy is fueled by Democratic Social manipulation in the form of programs designed to take from those who are successful and give to those who are not. Desperation leads to violence and violence must be countered with force.  Our 2nd Amendment insures that we as individuals have the ability to defend ourselves against violence directed at us.  Following are 4 statements by our Founding Fathers.

Letters From North America by 11-08-08

The long night is finally over. After nearly two years we have selected the leader of our country for at least another four years. At the time I’m writing this column, I am sitting in a hotel in Berlin. I woke at five this morning to see what CNN had to say about yesterdays election. By the time I got the television on… it was all over but the shouting.

At breakfast this morning, the English papers were reporting the event. Now the long knives start to come out. Not much of a honeymoon if you ask me. No, the papers in this part of the world, who had previously been so pro-Obama now are starting to question what effect his election will have upon the European community. Will his election and his lack of experience work for or against the other nations in the world? Questions were raised concerning the amount of money Senator Obama had raised for his campaign. How could a junior first term senator raise over 600 million dollars in such a short time? An unprecedented amount. Where did this money come from and who will Senator Obama be beholden to as a result? Where do any of these candidates of any election come up with the huge sums they need to get into office? You and I both know the answer to that question.

The Unthinkable

The unthinkable has happened.  The United States of America has elected a Socialist President.

 It is time for Real Americans to prepare for the coming storm.  The following is from an article I found this afternoon that makes sense in a surrealistic sort of way. The title of the article is "Surviving an Obama Presidency" from Giovanni's World.

 

The Boy Scouts get credit for this one. The best advice I can give right now is…”Be Prepared”!

If, and this is a very big if, Obama wins on Nov 4, we will need to plan ahead. So, I thought it would be a good idea to write something of a practical guide to surviving a Socialist/Communist leaning White House.

First and foremost… Buy guns, lot’s of them. When you study Obama’s ideas concerning gun ownership you start to notice a pattern. He says he believes in the right to legally own guns used for Sport, but start asking him about guns for protection and he starts to twist in the wind. I would expect him to push new sweeping laws concerning gun ownership to exclude any firearm deemed to be used for protection. Once that’s accomplished that Government would start a program whereby you will have to turn in all of your personal firearms. This is when the crap hits the fan! So, my idea is this… buy some guns of all makes a models, and plenty of ammunition to go with each (your gonna need it). Then hide as many as you can, while only leaving a Shotgun or two laying around the house. When the Feds come to get your guns let them have the shotguns. When they say…”we know you own a lot of registered weapons and we need those also”, just tell them they got stolen. When they ask if you reported them stolen you just say…”No, I didn’t”. And then drop it. Are you getting the idea here? Read more here.

The only thing I need to add to his article is that Americans need to set aside a good supply of non perishable food.  Store enough to feed your family for at least a year, 3 if you can.

God Bless and God Bless America,

David Hill

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-29-08

Over thirty years ago, I took part in a security training program outside of Washington, D.C. During the ten days or so that I was there, I met a number of federal agents who told me a number of stories, most of which would verge on the brink of unbelievable. One of these stories concerned President Kennedy and a decision he was said to have made one evening while sailing around D.C. on the Presidential yacht. According to one of the agents, President Kennedy had consulted with a number of his closest friends and had decided to leak our atomic secrets to the Soviets so there would be a mutual respect for each other and, in his opinion, reduce the threat of a nuclear war.

Now, in all honesty, I have no clue as to the truthfulness of this statement, but at the same time I have no reason to think the men telling me this were lying to me. I just don’t know.

What I do know is this, last week; someone who reads my columns sent me an e-mail and advised me to order a book called “Keynes at Harvard”. I found it on Amazon and must admit to you it is one of those books you will find hard to put down once you get started.

It is a handbook on socialism in this country. It was written in 1960.

The book explains how an economist named John Maynard Keynes got his socialist theories to be the order of the day at Harvard University. George Will (columnist and commentator) recently wrote “There are more Marxists in the Harvard faculty than there are in all of Europe.” The book goes on to state that the center point of the socialistic movement was the law school at Harvard.

Socialist, Math, Acorn by Jim Murphy

Wednesday - October 28,  2008
 
Greetings from the West Texas Regional Chapter of Vast Right Wing Conspiratorial Gun Clinging Sons of Jingoism.
 
Let me begin by voicing my opinion of the media coverage of the election up to this point.  ENOUGH!  If I hear the terms "Battleground State" or "Swing State" another time, I fear for anyone within my reach (family and friends excluded).  These are a couple of terms which have been completely over used by the media mutts.  Doesn't it make sense that ALL  STATES are in fact "Battleground States"?  If so, then doesn't it also make sense that if all the votes have been cast; and most of the results from the majority of the states are known;  and neither candidate has a clear victory at hand;  and  neither has enough electoral votes to claim victory; wouldn't it be possible for several or perhaps all of the remaining states to be "Swing States"?  Now for those of you residing in the "People's Republic of San Francisco" the remaining states would be able to "Swing" the election toward one particular candidate.  Ah, but not so.  Our idiot mainstream media, no, let me rephrase that, ALL  OF  OUR  MEDIA have already decided which states are "Swing States" just as they have decided which states are "Battleground States."  Just as they have decided who should be our next President.
 
So if the thought of the news media, and particularly the far left socialist leaning mainstream media, choosing our next President doesn't bother you then read no further.  The brutal truth is that NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine and several more, are all in the tank for Barack Hussein Obama and have all attempted to do a real hatchet job on Sarah Palin.  Have they succeeded?  We will find out next Tuesday.
 
I believe it was yesterday when I had my TV on FOX News and it was in the time slot in the afternoon when Shepard Smith was hosting the program.  He had a telephone interview with Joe Wurzelbacher (to clarify this for the Freedom Loving Residents of the Socialist Workers State of Massachusetts, this would be Joe the Plumber").  Let me say at this point that I know several good people who live in the State of Massachusetts, however the majority of the voters in that state have chosen "Fat Teddy", John Kerry, and Barney Frank as elected officials so the sanity of the majority of the Massachusetts voters is definitely in question.

Steven J. Allen's definition of a conservative

I found this definition of "Conservative" on Richard Vaquerie's Conservative HQ.  I found it to be one of the best descriptions of the subject that I have seen.  I am posting it in its entirety although I take no credit for it.  This post came from:  http://conservativehq.com/conservatism-101/sja-definition-of-conservative/

I am often asked what I mean by “a conservative.”

It's difficult to define membership in a group that makes up over half the adult population of the United States.  But here's my best effort. 

* A conservative believes in the motto quoted by Henry David Thoreau, “That government is best which governs least.” A conservative's vision of government was put forth by Thomas Jefferson: “a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another [and] shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.”

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-23-08

In November of 1989, I was in Germany when the Berlin Wall started to come down. My friend and I drove to the border where we could see East Germany. Parts of the wall were already destroyed and I brought back two bricks. Later that evening, my friend took me to dinner at his parents’ house where I met his sister and brother-in-law. His brother worked for Volkswagen in Germany and seemed a affable sort of fellow. During the dinner, the conversation turned to politics and it was apparent very early that he believed in a socialistic society. His concept was that no one should earn or receive more than 3,500 marks (before the Euro) per month, no matter what their job was or what they did for a living.

Having been in business for myself virtually all of my adult life, I took exception to this idea and told him it would destroy the concept of entrepreneurialism in any economy. He strongly disagreed and said that his plan would give everyone the same advantages and would be fair to all. This would eliminate class distinctions.

Then I asked him if he thought it would be fair for someone, like a doctor to have gone to school for eight or ten years or a attorney, should they be limited to only 3,500 marks per month as well?

“Yes, they should” was his answer and he was sincere.

Then I asked why anyone would want to go to school, or work twelve and fifteen hours a day to get a business up and going if their income was going to be the same as someone who didn’t have an education or who didn’t want to work. Who would want to do this?

He said that everyone would want to do so. If you had a good work ethic, then you wouldn’t mind working harder so that others could have a better lifestyle. It was your patriotic duty to do so.

I sat there in amazement at one of the most absurd things I have heard come out of anyone’s mouth in all of my years. The sad thing was he wasn’t kidding. He was dead serious.

Muttha / Joe / Mort by Jim Murphy

Hello once again from the West Texas Association For Gun Clinging Conspiratorial Jingoistic Right Wing Fed Up People.
 
Let me begin this week with a few quick words about Congressman Jack Murtha.  FIRST  CLASS  MUTT.  What made it really great was the fact that after he called the people in his Pennsylvania district racists, he returned to the camera and in a manner which only a liberal idiot could do, took back the racist comment and replaced it with "redneck".   Way to go Jack.  If stupidity were a country, you would be like Russia.
 
This past week we have all been subjected to various news stories about "Joe The Plumber".   Aren't we fortunate that we have media outlets like NBC and several others to point out some really interesting facts about "Joe The Plumber".  First we were made aware that his first name really isn't Joe.   Then after some really outstanding investigative journalism techniques, we were made aware of the shocking fact that "Joe The Plumber" did NOT have a plumbing license.  Boy those two facts were really Biblical in nature, weren't they?  Now not only did the usual suspect liberal news sources harp on this until I was about ready to burst into flames, but FOX News crack reporter Shepard Smith saw fit to also make us aware of these two shocking facts.  As a matter of fact, I found Shepard Smith's reporting of this to be really more obnoxious than the regular mainstream.  Smith was snotty and condescending and even made the statement that since "Joe The Plumber" did not possess a plumbing license that perhaps he should be referred to as: "Joe, the guy who works on the pipes."  I am sure that Shep thought he had hit a home run in the humor area but I thought he had shown his true colors, which were those of an arrogant turd.

Another Benefit Package?

Another Benefit Package? You got it!  Our spend, spend, spend Congress is debating another 150 to 300 billion dollar Stimulus Package.  This along with our government's offer to bail out several banks in exchange for partial ownership of the bank brings to mind a statement General Jim Cash made on our Radio Show Thursday night.  He talked about three steps to Socialism.  Folks, ALL THREE OF THE STEPS ARE WELL UNDERWAY.

This audio clip from Thursday night says it all.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-16-08

You can stick a fork in me, I’m done. I cannot watch any more of the election news or reporting this year. I am fed up and will spend the rest of this month quietly reading a good book in some dark room of my house.

In my opinion, if you have not made up your mind as to who you want to vote for in the upcoming Presidential election, you must have either (1) been held in solitary confinement in a prison or (2) in the far off reaches of outer space or (3) you are too dumb to participate in the electoral process.
 
Up until last night I had fairly high hopes for our party in this country to pull it off and show the fundamental differences between liberal and conservative philosophy. But, alas it was not to be and last nights display showed me (along with many others) that in spite of months of rhetoric and name calling, it is still them… (Congressmen) and us.

Is America Ready to Fight the Next War?

IS AMERICA PREPARED TO FIGHT THE NEXT WAR

 B/G General Jimmy Cash USAF Retired 

In 1980, the F-15A was the newest, most technically advanced, air-to-air fighter in the United States Air Force inventory, and I was honored to be one of the first F-15 Squadron Commanders.  Located at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, I commanded the 94th Tactical Fighter Squadron, which normally consisted of 26 aircraft and 30 of the most highly trained pilots in America.  At $33M per copy, the F-15 was the most expensive fighter of the day, and it was designed to give the US a clear advantage over any adversary for many years in the future. 

When Jimmy Carter became President, procurement of the F-15 continued, but spare parts procurement came to a standstill.  As happens with Democratic Presidents, money was diverted from the military and used to increase social programs, that in retrospect served little value to the nation. 

Over a two year period from 1979 to 1981, there was not a single day that my fully-mission-capable (FMC) rate was higher than 33 percent.  In a nutshell, over two-thirds of my 26 F-15s were always broken, because of a lack of spare parts.  It amazed me at how hard our maintenance personnel worked to keep those few airplanes flying. They constantly cannibalized parts from other aircraft, which doubled maintenance time.  Later we found we were breaking over half of the parts cannibalized.  It was a vicious cycle that drove our forces to the ground.  We had no capability during that period, and the buck stopped at the President’s desk, Jimmy Carter. 

Little did I know at the time, that the entire U.S. military was in basically the same condition.  We could not train effectively, as the equipment was broken.  There is a clear bottom line to the story.  The Tactical Air Command accident rate for fighter aircraft went from approximately 1.75 accidents per 100,000 flying hours to just under seven, because of the loss of flying proficiency of the pilots.  Our military was not capable of defending this great nation from a viable threat, and fortunately that threat did not appear during this time frame.  However, we were losing aircraft and young aircrew members at a rate normally seen only in actual combat.

BI-PARTISAN/DEBATE/REACH by Jim Murphy

Wednesday - October 8, 2008
 
A pretty hot welcome from the West Texas Branch of Vast Right Wing Conspiratorial Gun Clingers.
 
Last night I tried to watch the John McCain -  Barack Hussein Obama debate.  I found it to be incredibly dull and really without a whole bunch of substance.  As you might have guessed, I am NOT an UNDECIDED voter.  At this late stage of the game, if an individual is UNDECIDED then he or she, as the case may be, is in dire need of an intelligence transfusion.  While attempting to get excited about this debate, all the time knowing full well that The Missouri Breaks was showing  on the Western Channel, all I heard was pretty much the same old stuff.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that John McCain is light years ahead of the ultra liberal Senator from Chicago.  While John McCain did point a few well deserved fingers at Obama, I personally thought he spent way too much time telling us about his ability to "Reach across the aisle" and work with Democrat/Socialist Senators naming "Fat Teddy"(this would be Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy);   Russ Feingold; and a couple of other far left loons.  Every time I hear the term "Reach Across The Aisle" I can't help but think of the reasons given to "Reach Across The Aisle".  The only valid reason I can come up with to "Reach Across The Aisle", particularly to reach Fat Teddy or Russ Feingold, would be to choke the crap out of them both.
 
But we all know that what today's politicians mean by "Reaching Across The Aisle" is to work in a "BI-PARTISAN" manner with a bunch of socialists who have absolutely no intention of giving in to any conservative thought or suggestion.  I have had about enough of bi-partisan behavior.  I am about ready for so called conservative politicians to just stand up for what is right.  Stop giving in to these far left leaning bozos.  Remember, giving in is EASY.  Standing up for what is right is HARD.  These people are not elected to take the easy way out.

Unless you live in a proverbial cave and pay absolutely no attention to the news, you are aware that our All Knowing Government has thrown out the Constitution and the Free Market System it created and chose to throw 700 billion dollars away buying trash loans in an attempt to SAVE our Economy.  As you might guess, I am not happy at all with this decision.  Here are a few of the parasite attachments that were included in this sell out of our Freedom.
Sec. 211. Transportation fringe benefit to bicycle commuters
Sec. 308. Increase in limit on cover over of rum excise tax to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Sec. 309. Extension of economic development credit for American Samoa.
Sec. 312. Deduction allowable with respect to income attributable to domestic production activities in Puerto Rico.
Sec. 317. Seven-year cost recovery period for a motorsports racing track facility.
Sec. 322. Tax incentives for investment in the District of Columbia.
Sec. 325. Extension and modification of duty suspension on wool products; wool research fund; wool duty refunds.
Correct me if I am wrong but I do not see where any of these provisions help our current financial crisis. Furthermore, they are examples of what got us in this situation in the first place.  Wake up folks! I am a good ol’ boy from East Texas and I know what a Stock Yard smells like, and this stinks worse than that.

Healthcare and Election 08 MP Hill

I have looked at the choices of the Health Care plans suggested by Senator McCain and Senator Obama.  At the end of looking into them I am struck by one significant difference which I find alarming and unacceptable—“government sponsored” being part of Obama’s plan.

 
    Who really thinks that anything run by the government is better for the people?  I don’t and no one else should either.  In the words of President Reagan, “Man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”  He also said, “Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.”

 
    You see, Obama says that his health care plan is not mandatory but if you had been listening to him during the debates you would know that is temporary.  He wants it to eventually cover everyone and for that to work he would have to make it mandatory.  He also wants employers to offer insurance to their employees.  If he makes that mandatory how many people do you think employers will have to terminate in order to cover the additional cost of insurance?  And what if you are one of them?


    Granted McCain’s plan may not be perfect but is there is no perfect way to solve a problem that is so far out of control, but more government intervention and higher taxes certainly won’t do any good for anyone, especially when it results in more people out of work and on government entitlement programs.

Letters From North America 09-30-08

Someone, a lot wiser than I claim to be once told me that the best way to cover up a lie…was to tell another one any quickly as possible.

I’m not certain I agree with his advice, but I will say that in today’s race for the office of President of the United States, it certainly is beginning to look that way. Someone wrote me the other day and said that in his opinion the last really ethical presidential race we had was the Truman-Dewey campaign back in 1948. I was still a kid back then, but even then the newspapers had predicated a run away land slide victory for Dewey. You might have seen photos of Truman holding up copies of the papers with the incorrect headlines.

As I recall, at that time, the newspapers and the radio were the only method any of us had to keep up with what was going on in the world around us. I can remember as a small boy looking at a globe in my grandfather’s house and worrying over the physical size of the Soviet Union as compared to our country. I wasn’t aware of the population differences between the two countries.

My, have times have changed. Today in addition to newspapers and radio, we have television, the internet, e-mail, text messaging, blogs, cable and who knows what else. You can turn your television off for a week and for the most part you won’t miss a thing.

I'm Proud to be a Texas, Are You? MP Hill

With so much attention presently going to the Presidential race many others have been overlooked, by the media, and in the minds of some Americans as well, I fear.  However, we can’t afford to overlook these other races for they could well help to determine the fate of this country, regardless of who is elected President.

 
    One of the races I’m speaking of is the race for our US Senator.  Presently that job is held by John Cornyn and his opponent is Rick Noriega.


    First let me say that I know for sure that John Cornyn is proud of the great state that he represents, as are so very many of his constituents.  However, Rick Noriega, while at the Democratic National Convention in Denver said, “Being a Texan today means always having to say you’re sorry.”  I don’t know about you but that offends me immensely.  I get it that he was at the Democratic Convention where hating President Bush is the thing to do, but does that give him just cause to say something such as that.  Do you as a Texan feel the need to apologize for being from Texas, whether you agree or don’t agree with President Bush?  I know I don’t and I don’t agree with much of what President Bush has, and is doing here lately.  That doesn’t detract from my love for my state or my pride in being a Texan. If Rick Noriega feels compelled to apologize for being from Texas do you honestly think he would stand up and fight for the interests of Americans while in Washington or would he more likely just go along with the rest of those in his party, sympathetically (to them) agreeing with whatever drivel they come up with.


    You know what I mean by drivel, right?  Things like amnesty for illegals, which John Cornyn adamantly opposes.  Or how about partial birth abortion which most Americans consider an atrocity except those Democrats who hold office in Washington—the very ones Noriega was apologizing to. Once again John Cornyn stood firmly against this barbaric practice.  Then there is the issue of higher taxes, which Senator Cornyn opposes, but the Democrats hold dear.  Do you really want your Senator voting to raise your taxes?

N.O.W Does Not Speak For Me. MP Hill

I read today that a supposed women’s group called NOW (National Organization for Women) says they are endorsing Obama/Biden because of Biden’s long-time support for women’s rights.  They cited his pro-choice stance among others.  I’ll admit that he did a great thing with the bill Violence Against Women Act but what about him voting against making it a crime for someone to harm or kill an unborn baby while committing a crime against the mother?  Doesn’t a woman have the right to have her unborn baby protected by the law when she wants her baby?  Or is that just an aspect they wish to overlook?

 
    And, while we are at it, let’s look at the real abortion part of this issue.  It’s not really that he supports choice, it’s that he supports abortion that they like, although Biden draws the line at supporting Partial Birth Abortions like his running mate, he does support abortions.  However he also voted against a parent’s right to be notified if their minor child wants an abortion and he voted against making it a crime for someone to take their minor child across state lines to obtain an abortion where parental notification isn’t required.  However, am I missing something on this?  Isn’t it considered kidnapping if someone takes your minor child across state lines without parental consent?  Unless, I guess, if it is solely for the purpose of killing their unborn baby then it isn’t kidnapping, just aiding a minor in avoiding following the laws of the state where they live.

 
    Of course, although Biden is all for abortion he voted against a bill to ban human cloning.  What is that all about?  How many people in this country are even okay with cloning animals?  And yet he thinks it’s perfectly fine to clone humans.  Something to think about I’d say.

Where Will They Draw The Line. MP Hill

This morning I received a call from a friend of mine, Vera Wolot, telling me about the attack on Governor Sarah Palin perpetrated by Us Magazine and an idea she had that we should go out and buy the copies up and then return them later on, keeping these personal attacks from being spread throughout our community.  After speaking with her in length, we both agreed that this is something we should do all across this great nation.  
    It isn’t like we would be stopping people from being able to find out what is going on in this country.  After all, what is wrong about attempting to protect a young girl from further public embarrassment?  It’s not as though she is getting an abortion in an attempt to hide what she did or escape the consequences of her actions as have many adults, especially in the political spectrum.  It’s not as though the whole country doesn’t already know that Sarah Palin’s 17year old daughter is pregnant and not yet married.  What this edition of US News is, rather, is a left wing attack on a minor and her mother simply because her mother is on the Republican Presidential ticket.

The Best Of What We Are. MP Hill

Not that long ago I wrote that I would love to see a woman in office but she should be the best of what we are.  I also recently wrote that we should search out people in this country to hold office and represent us as a people in public office.  Now, I feel the need to expand on my meaning of these things.
    What did I mean by the best of what we are?  I know that isn’t something that is easy to picture in your mind, especially when talking about the majority of politicians who run for office in this day and age.  So, let me explain my meaning when I said that.  
    By the best of what we are I mean people like the NY Firemen who rushed into the Towers as they were burning and about to collapse in order to save as many lives as they could, and the policemen who rushed in with them.  There are others, too many to mention in such specific fashion but you know who they are.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 09-01-08

This year’s presidential election has got the entire country riled up and monopolizing our daily conversations. McCain threw everyone for a loop when he named a WOMAN to be his vice-presidential choice.

The nerve of him….picking someone the media had no clue about before his announcement. That’s just not fair. That makes the left wingers have to scramble to dig up any and all dirt possible on someone that brings not a breath of fresh air but a hurricane of freshness into an otherwise lame race for the White House.

Let’s see, where to start? Well, for a study in contrast, Google up US Magazine and see what happens….Take a look at the hatchet job they have done on Mrs. Palin compared to the glowing cover story on Barack Obama.

Perhaps it’s the sense of fairness that lives within me that makes my blood boil when I see injustice in action. Take the National Organization of Women….have you ever seen or heard of them making any kind of protest over prostitution in Nevada or strip clubs? Or PETA who will rally and protest over the killing of a whale but says nothing about the abortion of millions of children. No, not a peep.

Now we have a WOMAN, who could, just could …end up being the president of the United States in a few short years and the fire and fury of the media has begun to raise its ugly head.

We The People Need To Choose. MP Hill

I keep hearing people say they are unhappy with the choices we have running for public office this year.  The internet is saturated with members of both parties who are angry with the candidates we have to choose from.  Continually coming in contact with this type of opinions, as well as my own agreement with this position on some levels (more on that in another article) caused me to think about what we, the people, could do to fix it.
    Then as I was sitting here it just came to me.  The problem we now have is that the potential candidates are not people who we have sought out to run for office.  We, the people, had no say in the selection process of our candidates—they were ‘vetted’ by the hierarchy of the parties and the members of the media—leaving us feeling unsatisfied deep down.  
    Of course, you are probably nodding your head in agreement as you already knew that—you might even be wondering why it took me so long to get it, right?

Politics As Usual, No Good For the People. MP Hill

I am so sick of the politics the way they have become.  Now the parties act like this is a long running football game that each is driven to win by having more members than the other side.  Of course, if either side wants to get anything done, a majority is necessary and that is also wrong.
 
    After all, isn’t what’s best for the American people what is best for the American people regardless of who is in power or who proposes the legislation?  Why do they make it such a fight between parties when the issue is really so simple?

     I mean, when it comes to legislation to drill within America there should be no dispute as it, without a doubt, serves the interests of the American people so why are the Republicans for it, as the people want, and the Democrats are so dead set against it regardless of the benefit to the American people?  Is it that they really think lower gas prices would be bad for us or do they just stand against it because the Republicans are for it?  When you pull up at the pumps the next time and see the price surpassing $3.00 a gallon, thank the Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, for this as her and her cronies are largely responsible for this situation continuing.  Of course, don’t forget that they got the majority given to them in 2006 by claiming they were going to reduce the high prices of gas.
