AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE TO: Our
Muslim heritage? The Fatal Flaws of the Wall Street Bailout

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC,
FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD , INDIVISIBLE,
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in GOD. Therefore I have a very hard
time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust"
on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we
just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!! You (the 14%) have the right
to worship in your way, BUT you don't have the right to tell the American
people to take GOD out of our way of life just because our GOD offends
you. The American people have the right to have GOD in our schools, our
Cemeteries and our public lands... Now if this offends you then maybe you
should go back to the country you came from. Don't come to the United
States of America expecting a FREE RIDE. When you come to America you are
obligated to follow our Laws, practice your Religion and earn the right to
be a American. BUT you have NO right to come in my home (America) and tell
me how to live and how to worship! I Am a Christian, I have fought for the
right to be FREE and live my life by the law of the land. Like I said,
live by United States of Americans Laws, or go back to where ever you come
from! "AMEN"

Ok all you fighters for immigrants rights. Here is one of the reasons we,
are the
ones who have to pay for welfare for these immigrants, depriving the
natural
citizens, have a problem with doing so. One of the several reasons the U .
S . A .
is falling apart, too.

Medical Care: Illegal Immigrants vis-à-vist Military Veterans
"
Author:
Harry Riley
Robert Pear of The New York Times Company, reported May 9, 2005 "The
Bush administration announced on Monday that it would start paying
hospitals and doctors for providing emergency care to illegal immigrants.
The money, totaling $1 billion, will be available for services provided
from Tuesday through September 2008."
As a veteran and military retiree, I find government policy and funding
for anything "illegal" to be astounding, but to provide a virtual blank
check for medical care funding for illegal immigrants is "salt in the
wound" of all veterans who are fighting for earned medical care and other
benefits.
"Emergency care" for illegal immigrants means many conditions... it
means when you have a sniffle, off to the emergency room... next will be
pre-natal, post natal, care of infants, on and on...whatever it
takes.......politicians have our nation on a slippery slope to legalized
destruction. Policies of this nature simply enable others to view illegal
actions as justified and sanctioned by the US government, creating greater
expectations. Whatever happened to a "nation of laws"?
Our veterans, at least the majority of the 23 or so million,
park and complain they are being shafted (they are)...not appreciated
(they are not), spouses and widows neglected (they are), but these same
patriots refuse to stand-up and be counted. However, the other side of
the coin suggests warriors that protect our freedom and liberty should not
have to fight the very government they sacrificed to protect...if
government ignores obligations and commitments made to it's warriors, can
anyone count on anything done in Washington, D.C.?
When a citizen answers the call, leaves blood and body parts, or perhaps
a life on the battlefield, there should be no need to convince the leaders
of a nation to keep commitments and honor warrior sacrifices.
Unfortunately, warriors, spouses, and widows must beg, plead, and yes,
whine for earned benefits...the question now is, do they get in line
behind illegal immigrants?

Minorities
We
need to show more sympathy for these people.
*
They travel miles in the heat..
*
They risk their lives crossing a border.
*
They don't get paid enough wages..
*
They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
*
They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different
language.
*
They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every
day.
I'm
not talking about the damned illegal's ~
I'm
talking about our troops!
Doesn't
it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to
lavish in all kinds of social benefits on illegal's, but don't support
our troops.

pass this URL on; this is worth the short time it takes to read it.

Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back:
'I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except
numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are
things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black
Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like
the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment
Television, or Miss White America ; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson
will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can
kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you
from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there
are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING
MARTHA BURKE ?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is
an opinion.
I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are
different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of
the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of
Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a
newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact,
if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the
countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten
them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word
'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the above lines..
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are
qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans
or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store,
or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives
in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come
over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and open to
their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That
doesn't stop you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and
continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next
operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a
parent to stand up to the kid and say 'NO!' when necessary.
I think tattoos and piercings are fine if you want them, but please don't
pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that
new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as
you serve me French fries!
I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and
not a single one of them was born in Africa , so how can they be
'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around
saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great,
great, great grandfather was from Europe . I am proud to be from America
and nowhere else.
And if you don't like my point of view, tough...

" A License Required for your HOUSE? "
ANOTHER ZANY IDEA FROM OUR WASHINGTON ELITE....... MAN, I CAN'T WAIT TO
VOTE ... BETCHA THE FIX IS IN.
Homeowners - Better Read This one
Don't want to be bothered with "Political stuff?" You'd better read this
one. It will come as a huge shock to you if you aren't informed as to what
Obama is up to, and it has already passed one hurdle. It will take very
little now to put it into actual law!! YOU'D BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
So you think you live in a free country.
Boy have you got a surprise coming.
If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this
article is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the housing
market is depressed now, wait until everyone sees this. No one will be
buying homes in the future.
We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has
passed the House of Representatives and are being considered by the
Senate. We are ready to join the next march on Washington ! This Congress
and their "experts" are truly out to destroy the middle class of the
U.S.A.
A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and
mobile homes....Thinking about selling your house? Take a look at H.R.
2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable! Home owners take note and
tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!
Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be
able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy
and water efficiency standards of this "Cap & Trade" bill, passed by the
House of Representatives. If it is also passed by the Senate, it will be
the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.
The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that
in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be
$6,800 per year. No one is excluded. However, once the lower classes feel
the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure that these voters will get a
tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost.
Thus, you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional
tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else.....
But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has
many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now
you won't be able to sell your house without some bureaucrat's OK. Yes,
you read that right.
The caveat (there always is a caveat) is that if you have enough money to
make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if
not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are
included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without
the permission of the EPA administrator.
To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of
your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new energy
efficiency requirement is and you will be required to make modifications
to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act, to comply with the
new energy and water efficiency requirements.
Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license
(called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show
what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency
rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a
high enough rating, you can't sell.
And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every
year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the
Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap &
Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009")
and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and
standards he/she alone determines to be in the government's best interest.
Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress. Then
the Administrator can set new standards every year.
The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for
private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA
administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 - Building
Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the
energy efficiency of all existing homes across America.
Beginning one year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell
your home unless you retrofit it to comply with its energy and water
efficiency standards. You had better sell soon, because the standards will
be raised each year and will be really hard (expen$ive) to meet in a few
years. Oh, goody!
The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand
dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements IF you meet
certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional
requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants. You should expect
requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year",
"home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target
the upper middle class (that includes YOU?) and prevent you from
qualifying for the grants.
Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the
retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you
can believe in." Sect. 204 - Building Energy Performance Labeling Program
establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will
identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90
percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act."
This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S.
must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each
year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of
Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help the EPA. Some of this
money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each
year...
Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to
post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be
allowed to sell your home without having this label. And, just like your
car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so
often - maybe every year.
But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency
of your home should only cost about $200 each time. Remember what they
said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in
California? It would only cost $15. That was when the program started. Now
the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate.
Expect the same from the home labeling program. Sect. 304 - Greater Energy
Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines
for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d) that one year after
enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the
National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a
certification from the federal government that their state and/or local
codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building
Code energy efficiency standards.

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE
TO: Our Muslim heritage? "
Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has
always been a part of America's story."
Mr. Obama, I wish to know were you received your HISTORY lesson?
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?
Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry
again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights? {Didn't think so.}
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? {No.}
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?
{No, they did not.}
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human
slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery
himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as
"pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks
of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? {Not
present.}
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side
with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil
Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not
present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are
subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are
beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not
a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for
women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf
Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf
Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazis in killing
Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they
weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center,
the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our
own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East.
No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world
celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and
other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims
who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo,
Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.
To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that
day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America .
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 -the slaughter
of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a
psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers
returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .
That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America.

"
The Fatal Flaws of the Wall Street Bailout Bill
Posted April 23rd, 2010 The Heritage Foundation
"
Speaking to an audience of big business and big labor executives
(including Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein, Bank of America’s Bruce
Thompson and SEIU’s Andy Stern) at New York’s Cooper Union, President
Barack Obama noted “the furious efforts of industry lobbyists to shape”
the financial regulation bill “to their special interests.” Obama then
admitted, “I am sure that many of those lobbyists work for some of you.
But I am here today because I want to urge you to join us, instead of
fighting us in this effort.” Obama should have saved his breath. Wall
Street and big labor lobbyists have already joined forces to make sure the
current Senate legislation has become a Wall Street Bailout Bill.
Big labor’s ties to this White House are already well documented. Less
known is just how close Obama administration interests align with the big
firms that benefit most from the TARP bailout. The Washington Examiner
reports that at Goldman Sachs, the nation’s largest investment bank, four
of the five in-house lobbyists were Democratic Capitol Hill staffers — the
remaining one gave $1,000 to Hillary Clinton last election. And USA Today
notes that Goldman Sachs alone has given nearly $900,000 since January
2009 to congressional candidates, with 69% of that cash lining Democrat
pockets. Finally, then-candidate Obama collected almost $1 million from
Goldman executives and employees in 2008, more than the combined Goldman
haul of every Republican running for president, Senate and the House.
So what have Wall Street lobbyists bought with their campaign cash and
high priced lobbyists? A bill that gives permanent TARP-like authority to
Washington regulators, thus enshrining Washington as a permanent bailout
machine. Specifically, the bill:
Creates a protected class of too big to fail firms. Section 113 of the
bill establishes a “Financial Stability Oversight Council,” charged with
identifying firms that would “pose a threat to the financial security of
the United States” if they encounter “material financial distress.” While
these firms would be subject to enhanced regulation, such a designation
would also signal to the marketplace that these firms are too important to
be allowed to fail and, perversely, allow them to take on undue risk.
Creates permanent bailout authority. Section 204 of the bill authorizes
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to “make available …
funds for the orderly liquidation of [a] covered financial institution.”
Although no funds could be provided to compensate a firm’s shareholders,
the firm’s other creditors would be eligible for a cash bailout. The
situation is much like the bailout AIG in 2008, in which the largest
beneficiaries were not stockholders but rather other creditors, such as
Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs.
Provides for seizure of private property without meaningful judicial
review. The bill, in Section 203(b), authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to order the seizure of any financial firm that he finds is “in
danger of default” and whose failure would have “serious adverse effects
on financial stability.” This determination would be virtually
irreversible in court.
Establishes a $50 billion fund to pay for bailouts. Funding for bailouts
is to come from a $50 billion “Orderly Resolution Fund” created within the
U.S. Treasury in Section 210(n)(1), funded by taxes on financial firms.
However, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the ultimate cost
of bank taxes will fall on the customers, employees and investors of each
firm.
Opens a “line of credit” to the Treasury for additional government
funding. Under Section 210(n)(9), the FDIC is effectively granted a line
of credit to the Treasury Department that is secured by the value of
failing firms in its control, providing another taxpayer financial
support.
Authorizes regulators to guarantee the debt of solvent banks. Bailout
authority is not limited to debt of failing institutions. Under Section
1155, the FDIC is authorized to guarantee the debt of “solvent depository
institutions” if regulators declare that a liquidity crisis (“event”)
exists.
Imposes one-size-fits-all reform in derivative markets. Derivatives are
already increasingly being traded on clearinghouses thanks to private
efforts coordinated by the New York Fed. But the Senate bill would require
virtually all derivative contracts to be settled through a clearinghouse
rather than directly between the parties. Applying such ill-designed
blanket regulation would make financial derivatives more costly, more
difficult to customize, and, consequently, less widely used—which would
increase overall risk in the economy.
According to Rasmussen Reports, 64% of Americans are not confident that
policymakers in Washington know what they’re doing with regards to Wall
Street. They have every reason to be concerned. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR)
tells National Review: “From the beginning, I’ve thought that the deal
Goldman Sachs got via Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on their bad bets
through AIG kind of stunk. They got $13 billion from AIG last year.”
DeFazio doesn’t seem to realize that the bill Obama is pushing would
empower Secretary Geithner to repeat the AIG bailout ad infinitum. No need
to ever go back to Congress for a new TARP. The Senate bill is a permanent
TARP. Which is exactly what Goldman Sachs and the rest of their Wall
Street lobbyists wanted all along.
Quick Hits:
• Expecting health insurance premiums to rise under Obamacare, Democrats
are now trying to give Washington price control power over insurance
rates.
• According to pension consultant Girard Miller that California state and
local governments have $325 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, which
he said amounts to $22,000 for every working adult in the Golden State.
• Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called President Obama’s Middle East peace
strategy “counter-productive,” explaining: “If the U.S. says certain
things and takes certain stands the Palestinians say, ‘Why should we
negotiate?’”
• According to a new Congressional Budget Office analysis, if Obamacare is
not repealed by 2016, nearly 4 million Americans – the vast majority of
them middle class – will have to pay a little more than $1,000 apiece
penalties per year if they don’t get government approved insurance.
• The Senate Democrats’ new federal budget would raise taxes on about 30
million people by $3,700 a year by 2012.

"A Veteran's Prayer"
May we learn the lessons of war well, That we not doom future generations,
The same old tales of horror to tell, To endure what in youth they see
mistakenly as glory. Oh God, do not let our children Repeat the same old
story.
Make it so that America's babies live to grow old In this land of the free
and the bold. Help us throw off the shackles of hate that bind And grow
old in a life of a peaceful kind. Teach us that there is no glory in war,
Nor honor there that brave men should not abhor. Teach us instead, one for
another our brothers to love. Shower us with thine Celestial message from
above, That we plant seeds of peace evermore And make war-no-more!
