Could people that don't like the direction the country is going in start
their own community like the Amish? I wish we could divide like the days of
the Civil War, have the conservative territory and a liberal territory, a
conservative military and a liberal military. Like a USA -conservative and
a USA -liberal. The liberals would have horses and bayonets, the
conservatives would have battleships. But when the Muslims start killing
the liberals, they are on their own, our strong military won't fight for
their welfare sponges.

I'm with ya' 200%! We're making a list of potential programs, grants

According to our lawyer there actually consultant firms that interface

use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.

Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don’t have
a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard
workers and convince them that they should support social programs
that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a
little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you
want.

The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic

I also help out the needy including my own family, I have paid more than
$10,000 - $15,000 per year after taxes, above and beyond my income taxes.
The way this works is I help out the needy people I know in my area, not by
using a horribly inefficient government paying some worker 5 times what they
are worth to act superior to others that are receiving taxpayer dollars. If
the government would leave more dollars in our hands we could help others
and eliminate the overpaid welfare worker. We could decide as we see fit
who needs help. This also personalizes the giving, the person receiving the
money realizes it was from another person that had to earn the money, not
some nameless faceless government welfare system. So if we see people
wasting money and buying drugs, we could choose not to give to them, not so
with the government program. If a person chooses not to work by choice,
because they would prefer to get paid for not working, most individuals
would not give to them, the government doesn't have the people necessary to
decide who deserves help and who doesn't.

The difference is that it is my choice to decide who I want to give to and I
can know it's those with genuine need, not someone that's going to sell
their food stamps for drug money. The individual is in a much better
position to decide who needs financial help than the government is.

How is it in the polls, Obama is ahead by a few percent, but in some 59
precincts there was no votes for Romney? I figure Gunner didn't consider
the fraud that the dictator in chief would accomplish.

Other than that, how's it going for the idiots that voted for Obama? Dow
down 500 points and unemployment up. Many more businesses laying off or
closing, and restaurants already planning to add a surcharge for ObamaCare.
Obama threw the country in the crapper and Democrats and dead voters flushed
it Nov 6th.

Actually I'm quite enjoying seeing the judgment of God as Democrats war
against him and throw this country in the crapper. God's people may be
harmed in the great tribulation but it's nothing compared to the wrath of
God that destroys God's enemies while not harming God's people. I'm hoping
that it's a Democrat President, house, and senate that drives this country
to total destruction.

How's Obama's peace thing going? Looks pretty peaceful in the Middle East.
Laugh.. laugh.. laugh...

Re-elect King Ding-Dong and Hostess can't run, the reason Hostess was
mismanaged it that King Ding Dong was serving as president for 4 years, they
can't give him up for 8 years! Laugh.. laugh.. laugh...

About the only time unemployment goes down is when people quit looking for
jobs or their benefits run out. Laugh.. laugh.. laugh...

Democrats get their way and the country is destroyed! Laugh.. laugh..

See ALL the companies that were "subsidized" by the Obama administration
Most if not all are bankrupt

And for those that have not been subsidized, they have been laying off a
steady stream of employees over the last year

Do you even have a CLUE about what reckateering is ??
Has NOTHING to do with reducing the work hours of employees to reduce their

Actually..its going back up again.

When Novembers numbers are posted..you will see a rather sharp surge
upwards.

the U3 numbers only show those who are collecting unemployment
insurance. It doesnt show those who have fallen off the 99 weeks or
those who are working a few hours a week desperately trying to make
ends meet.

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw

Re: Bush's fault

Some people have short memories..

DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007?

This is NOT a political message, but rather a clarification to remind us all
of the correct facts.

Remember that on October 9, 2007, 11 months before our "economic crisis"
occurred (that was actually created), the Dow hit its highest point ever,
closing at 14,164.53 and reaching 14,1
98.10 intra-day level. Unemployment was holding steady at 4.7%. But things
were already being put in place to create the havoc we've all been
experiencing since then. And it all started, as this email explains, on
January 3, 2007.

I'm sending this to each of you regardless of your party preferences because
I believe it is something you may not have considered.

This tells the story, why Bush was so "bad" at the end of his term.

Don't just skim over this, it's not very long, read it slowly and let it
sink in. If in doubt, check it out!!!

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually
January 3rd 2007, which was the day the Democrats took over the House of
Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time
since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that
everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this: January 3rd, 2007 was the
day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.

At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB
GROWTH

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

Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6
TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001
because it was financially risky for the US economy.

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?
OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the
Democrat Congress.

So when someone tries to blame Bush. REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY
THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the
party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as
well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them
to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on
spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely,
passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama
could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill
to complete the 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very
Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the
omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of
the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that,
Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell,
what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted
for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

unemployment and those only working a few hours a week desperately
trying to pay a bill or two.

So its fascinating to me..that by using the U3 numbers...the MSM
consistently proves themselves to be minions of the Left and continues
to try to minimize the damage.

If Bush had been in office..they damned well would be using the U6
numbers.

To get to the truth, Even the Russians see it:

Pravda: Illiterate society reelected Obama
By Gina Miller

Throughout most of the twentieth century, the Pravda newspaper was roughly
the Russian equivalent of our leftist, state-controlled "mainstream" media,
publishing only regime-approved, Communist party line content. Since
undergoing a change in ownership in the early 1990s, it now offers warnings
against the communism that infected the former Soviet Union and caused the
deaths of millions of Russian citizens.

Despite the warnings of history and those who have lived under its iron
fist, communism has come to America, and the useful idiots who dumbly adore
the Communist-in-Chief, Barack Obama (or whatever his name is), are gladly
and stupidly drinking the kool-aid of ignorance in embracing that deadly and
dead-end ideology. Even the Russians can see this!

I read with sad amazement a couple of columns in the new, non-communist
Pravda online by Xavier Lerma. One is titled, "Obama's Soviet Mistake," and
the other, "The Reason Obama is President." Mr. Lerma clearly understands
the terrible place of tyranny America has chosen, and he knows the reasons
why. The reason Obama is President is the same reason I have repeatedly
declared here in my columns: America has turned away from God and to
self-worship and fleeting, carnal pleasures.

In "The Reason Obama is President," Mr. Lerma writes,

The reason America has the trillion dollar war monger Obama as president
today is because of immorality and materialism in America. President John
Adams once said,

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -October 11, 1798.

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible" -
George Washington.

... The revisionist historians have tried to "cover up" God himself by not
allowing recent generations to know that America was once a nation of
religious people. Now, over half the people in America are not well informed
and are willing to believe the spoon fed propaganda from the Democrats and
Republicans.

The Democrats and Republicans are notorious for wanting to stay in power.
Their worshipers get their education from TV and their friends. In the
future, after it becomes obvious that their plan failed, these "useful
idiots" will still blame Bush for the economy, overlook Obama as they
overlooked Clinton's mistakes or think their vote counts and they actually
have freedom while approving of wars overseas. Such people are the product
of America's decaying society whose reality has been warped by drugs and
other selfish pleasures. America has gradually become worse from the drugs,
rock and roll of the 60's and 70's to the drugs and rap music of today. The
communists won while Americans smoked pot.

He goes on to point out that the alienation of God from our society began in
the classroom and has spread to our televisions and other "entertainment"
outlets. This is quite true. When America ejected the Lord from our
education system, the dumbing-down of our younger generations began in
earnest. Today, we have kids that graduate high school (if they even
graduate) who can barely read, much less understand deeper concepts such as
the awful ramifications of a communist form of government, with its killing
of freedom, theft of private property rights and crippling taxation.

In his "Obama's Soviet Mistake" piece, Mr. Lerma shows that Obama is taking
the same communist road taken by the former Soviet Union, a road that
Vladimir Putin warns against taking. He also credits Obama's reelection to
an ignorant electorate, with some election fraud thrown in, as well.

In between conservative-sounding quotes from Vladimir Putin, Mr. Lerma
writes,

Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society
and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He
gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he
did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he
fires or demotes his generals who get in the way.

... Well, any normal individual understands that as true but liberalism is a
psychosis. O'bomber even keeps the war going along the Mexican border with
projects like "fast and furious" and there is still no sign of ending it. He
is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without
calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality
mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to
follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia.
Obama's fools and Stalin's fools share the same drink of illusion.

... President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or
so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote
for someone like Obama. They read history in America don't they? Alas, the
schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history
was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents. Obama has
bailed out those businesses that voted for him and increased the debt to
over 16 trillion with an ever increasing unemployment rate especially among
blacks and other minorities. All the while promoting his agenda.

Yes, ignorance and apathy have cost us dearly. Members of the Communist Left
know that citizen ignorance is a powerful tool, and so they have
aggressively promoted the stupidization of our younger generations. As long
as people lack knowledge, they can easily be ruled by smooth-talking
tyrants. Besides the requisite support of the black population that blindly
votes for Obama based on racism - because he is black - most Obama bumper
stickers can be spotted on the vehicles of younger, white morons who are
plainly products of our godless mis-education system.

Ignorance and godlessness go hand-in-hand. Those who know the Lord, who
follow His teachings in the Bible, understand the value of true knowledge.
Lack of knowledge is deadly destruction. Lack of respect for God's Word, and
the insight it provides those who seek it, has left us with a nation
crawling with entitlement-minded, godless sheep who are ripe for tyranny.

Despite the election result numbers, I do not believe the ignorant people
yet outnumber the informed in America, although most of the informed are of
the older generations. The Left has election and voter fraud down to a
science, and it may well be that conservatism will not be allowed to win
major elections anymore. The reports of election fraud since November 6th
are sickening, but it appears the Republicans are content to lie down and
take it, while they go off on misguided, introspective tangents about what
they should have done differently to get the women and minority votes. It is
stupidity in motion. If the election numbers are fraudulent, then
speculation on "why" we "lost" is dumb, because without the election fraud
tacked on, it is likely that we didn't lose!

Regardless, it remains that we are now saddled with the Communist federal
government we deserve. Those of us who know better have allowed our liberty
to lapse under decades of incremental thefts of our freedoms by an
ever-growing monster bureaucracy in Washington. We have ceded our freedom to
our Republican and Democrat masters in DC. Can we ever get it back? Not
without a return to God's principles found in the Bible. And, looking around
at the younger members of our degenerate, ignorant society, I am not holding
my breath that they will suddenly turn to the Lord, although a few of them
will, as God has called and chosen them.

Nevertheless, we will continue to pray for our nation and fight to rid our
government of the evil criminals - both Democrat and Republican - who have
commandeered it.
