Joe,
I bet you didn't realise that prior to an ASSHAT coming up with Social Security in '36 the Country had been in violation of the Constitution.

To watch as a little asshat argues that a person, who was forced to pay into a Government Ponzi scheme, is on the dole because he's getting a portion of his own money back is priceless.

It must drive little asshats like Pippy nuts. I'm curious to see the next revision to history these clown's handlers come up with. Next thing you know we'll be told America was forged with Muslim beliefs! Opps the Grand Pooh-Baah ASSHAT already said that!

It's amazing that this Country became the best Country in the world, bar none, relying simply on our drive, families, and Christian roots. It's also amazing that once we started down the socialist path we are in decline. Isn't this the most obvious?

The ASSHAT handler's are much better at selling than the guy on late night TV selling his method to get rich. These new progressive handlers are selling bags of horse manure as breakfast cereal and the little asshats are buying by the truckload. Asshat families on both coasts eating horseshit for breakfast every day. From baby bottles to breakfast plates, from horseshit with formula to horseshit with green eggs and ham.

Since rational Americans know the truth it's fun to watch.

Since 40 million Americans recieve assistance in the form of Welfare I would have to ask why we need a single migrant to harvest anything. If that many people are that bad off, wouldn't at least half want to earn a living? Could be a business opportunity running a bus line from places like detroit to California for the harvest season. But, alas, I think not. I fear the majority are fine collecting checks. ASSHAT social justice at work in 2010.

PS
I can see November from my house!

Kevin,

Whenever I hear the argument that illegal aliens are only taking the jobs that Americans won't do, I can't help but think they should be thanking our welfare programs for making that a workable argument.

We destroyed that work force by giving them enough welfare to get by on. Pretty much did the same thing to many of our Native Americans. Without serious border security, that problem will be hard to solve.

The way our economy is going, it won't be long before a job washing dishes or digging ditches (non-union) will be looking pretty good. When I was younger, I did both jobs to make a meager living, and was glad for the job. It boils down to.....no skills......no jobs, except those that only illegal's will take.

Take care,

Joe

Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.


Dr. David Barton - on Obama
Respect the Office? Yes.
Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.
Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama !


I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !

Why am I doing this ?
It is because:

- I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America ;

- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;
- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;
- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;

- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;

- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);

- I do not share his
beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;

- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East ; and
- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran ..
Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right !
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs !

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years !
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country !
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society !
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to
bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech !

Unite behind Obama? Never ! ! !
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his
Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America ."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country ! ! Any more compromise is more defeat !

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." - Thomas Jefferson
GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country ! ! !

(Please, please, please, pass this on if you agree. If you don't agree, just delete it.)
Thanks for your time, be safe.
"In GOD We Trust"

Many of the, seeming, America haters who used to post here have gone silent on their approval of President Obama's ongoing agenda to totally destroy our country. Could it be that most of them have also rejected his policies?

I say "also" because most of the country has awakened to his plan of destruction. Hopefully today will make that awakening obvious, but probably not to President Obama. I believe his legacy will be long remembered and will serve as a warning to future generations.

That, my friends, is the true beauty of America. We make mistakes, but we correct them. Today, God willing, we will correct the course/mistake of President Obama.

VOTE!

Interestingly enough,or maybe not so interesting :roll: in Britain we had/have basically the same hatred towards labours policies for last few years.......now we have the Conservatives in power,and "everybody" is moaning about them and their "scorched earth" plan,and are praying for the day Labour is returned to power....and as soon as they are,no doubt everyone will be complaining about them .....again. Nothing much changes in "politics world"..... its just the text that changes a little from time to time.
There is not a politician (right ,left or centre) been born that could utter two sentences without one of those sentences being a lie.In short they are ALL full of shit.

pipster,

I am really glad to see you are still alive. There were rumors that you had hanged yourself. While that would not come as any surprise, it would be a shame to lose such a perennial loser.

Even the one professor who, you claimed, said you were.......wonderful, has no use for you,and booted your ass out of her circle of friends. That was pretty much what I told you a few years ago, and it appears I was dead on.

I assume you know the truth of what I have just said, which is why you have reacted so irrationally. It must be very lonely in pip's world. You even chase away those who befriend you.

Hello Brad,

As I once said:

"Your opinions here will always be colored by your expertise on the Salt River Mission, the false claim of being asked to research the San Jose Bell and your theory that the LDM is located in an old barite prospect hole on Coon's Bluff. All of those things show a reluctance to deal with reality and the real world."

Is the mission still waiting for your report? Why don't you post it here so everyone can see how wrong I was?

Any recent pictures of the Coon's Bluff LDM? Much like your mission bell report, I have never received the, also worthless, ore sample you promised to send me.

You don't post here anymore for the same reason you don't come to the Rendezvous'. Somewhere inside your smokey brain, you realize how silly you look to the rest of us.

All in all, I still wish you and Gloria the best.

Take care,

Joe

Comments: Is This Our America Anymore?

by Patrick J. Buchanan

12/17/2010

Buried in the Oct. 30 Washington Post was a bland headline: "Report Points to Faster Recovery in Jobs for Immigrants."

The story, however, contained social dynamite that explains the rage of Americans who are smeared as nativists and xenophobes for demanding a timeout on immigration.

In the April-May-June quarter, foreign-born workers in the U.S. gained 656,000 jobs. And native-born Americans lost 1.2 million.

From July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, foreign-born Hispanics gained 98,000 construction jobs. Native-born Hispanics lost 133,000. Black and white U.S. construction workers lost 511,000 jobs.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, from Jan. 1, 2000, to Jan. 1, 2010, 13.1 million immigrants, legal and illegal, entered the United States, a decade in which America lost 1 million jobs.

From 2008 and 2009, the figures are startling. In 24 months, 2.4 million immigrants, legal and illegal, arrived, as U.S. citizens were losing 8.6 million jobs.

Query: Why are we importing a million-plus workers a year when 17 million Americans can't find work? Whose country is this?

Why do we not declare a moratorium on all immigration, until our unemployment rate falls to 6 or 5 percent? Charity begins at home. Ought we not take care of our own jobless first before we invite in strangers to take their jobs?

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, each year between 300,000 and 400,000 "anchor babies" are born to illegal aliens. These newborns are entitled to citizenship, free health care and education, welfare and food stamps

Their parents -- almost all are poor or working class -- rarely pay any state or federal income tax.

How long can we keep granting citizenship and full social welfare benefits to the children of people who break our laws and break into our country or overstay their visas? How long can we keep bringing in workers to take jobs when our unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent?

Again, according to the Pew Center, the number of anchor babies here now is about 4 million. Add to that 3 million to 4 million born each decade, and it will not be long before Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Texas resemble California, which is on the brink of default.

If no action is taken, the Republican Party will soon be unable, even in wave elections, to win the presidency, as it won nothing and indeed lost state legislative seats in California in 2010.

The border will disappear, and America will be a geographical expression, not a country anymore.

Legal scholar William Quirk describes a new phenomenon in the invasion of America: "maternity tourism." Pregnant Asian women pay $15,000 to agents to ensure they are in the United States when their child is born so that they can return home secure in the knowledge he or she will be a U.S. citizen with the right to a U.S.-taxpayer subsidized education in college.

Though the nation has awakened to the threat to social cohesion and national solvency, Harry Reid is still attempting to ram through a lame-duck Senate an amnesty for illegal aliens up to age 30 who claim they were brought here before they were 16, have a high school diploma or GED and state that they intend to go to college within six years.

An estimated 2.1 million illegal aliens would be amnestied, put on a path to citizenship, and be eligible for student loans and more.

According to Alabama's Jeff Sessions, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee:

"Aliens granted amnesty by the DREAM Act will have the legal right to petition for entry of their family members, including their adult brothers and sisters and the parents who illegally brought or sent them to the United States, once they become naturalized U.S. citizens. In less than a decade, this reality could easily double or triple the 2.1 million green cards that will be immediately distributed as a result of the DREAM Act."

Lawbreaking would be rewarded. Chain migration would continue. A permanent powerful magnet would be provided to all foreigners to sneak into the United States and be sure to bring the kids.

As Rep. Dana Rohrabacher argues, one effect of the DREAM Act will be to move illegals applying to college ahead of many Americans, as 80 percent of illegals are Hispanics and eligible for affirmative action.

U.S. soldiers coming home from Afghanistan will "sit in back," as Obama puts it, when competing against amnestied illegals.

Several days ago, UCLA's Kent Wong addressed a pro-amnesty rally in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. Wong turned the race card face up.

When Reid's bill passes, said Wong, "the young people of the DREAM Act movement will go on to accomplish and do great things. ... You will go on to become lawyers, teachers, doctors and members of the U.S. Congress to replace those old white men ... ."

If the DREAM Act passes, Wong is right about whose time has come and gone. May the tea party take names at the call of the roll.

Joe - imho the USA is ripe right now for a true leader to emerge. Someone who doesn't pander to any big business, has no ulterior agenda's, etc... Some who is willing to come out and say what the majority of Americans are feeling about the direction their country is taking. Someone not indebted to Republicans or Democrats or anyone else - just an honest person who wants to find a way to solve at least a few of the major problems we have these days.

Unfortunately, I also feel whoever and wherever that person may be, because there is SO MUCH corruption in politics, he or she will never find a way to step up and help our country regain it's national pride and strength.

I wish I felt differently, but these days I often find myself looking at children from ages 1 day to 17 years and getting a tear in my eye for the troubles they are going to face in the coming years.

Some days it feels like out country has changed in the blink of an eye while all of us have been sleeping.

Paul,

It's really been a long time coming, we just keep voting for a continuing bad government. Bob Corbin sent me that article, and it's simply the writing on the wall for America. To be honest, I don't know if anyone can turn it around. We may be too far gone already, and President Obama is just trying to administer the coup de grace. The whole thing is being fueled by people like those who used to frequent this site.

It seems like the humane thing to not let people on unemployment insurance suddenly be without that check. Problem is, many of those people should be taking the jobs that are being done by illegal aliens. They won't, because the work available is just too menial. If they are removed from the public dole, they will be forced to take those jobs.

As long as we keep printing the cash to keep them afloat, they will just lay back and collect their/our money. Now that the time has been extended, what happens when that extension runs out? The humane thing, of course, will be to extend the period again......and again.....and again.

The answers here are obvious, but Washington is exactly like their brothers and sisters out there collecting unemployment. Only difference is they are better paid.

Carolyn and I feel exactly the way you do.

Take care,

Joe

A local radio station talk show had business owners calling in the other talking about unemployement and just the overall economy. I know the call screeners can "gear" the direction of the discussion any way they want, so it may not be a very valid general example, but here's what was said. Every business owner down in Boston who called in said they have jobs available and have plenty of people applying, but to a person the majority of the applicants either want to be paid in cash or under the table while they continue to collect unemployment, or they want the business owner to hold the job awhile longer until their benefits run out.

Too many people have lost any sense of personal pride much less national pride and as a country, too many people have simply gotten lazy and our leaders have let it happen with our help.

Cubfan............Liked your post,your concerns for the coming generations are shared I believe by most sane people. Myself Im begginning to wonder if our whole system is about to implode.Surely its obvious now that corporate greed is what has got us all into this awful position. But as always its the" man on the clapham omnibus" who suffers the pain and bears the load...while the pigs at the top can carry on as though nothings changed.Looking at the situation both here and in America,and for that matter Europe too,one might wonder how long before the revolution(s).The utter greed shown by bankers,corporations ,financiers ,politicians and the like have done more to promote communism than any left wing "rabble rouser" could ever hope to.Does Communism work?-no ,or rather it hasnt yet,but then neither,it seems, does capitalism..or perhaps capitalism only works as long as one can borrow more money?....If history is anything to go by,I believe another world war is looming within 5-10 years,and it will be the west which will start it.....the future looks truly awful.
We have the conservatives in power here now......they have allready began their "scorched earth "policy,allready began telling unemployed northerners to "go south" and pick fruit etc, and telling us weve never had it so good...the same b.s that Thatchers mob told the electorate back in late 70s.The previous Labour government at least tried to help the working classes,same as Obama seems to be doing..the payback of course is more regimentation and lack of free speech..it seems one can never win...maybe the western societies are going to go the way of the roman empire,destroyed by greed ,corruption and all that goes with it. Voting is a farce,it used to be only in America that the leadership or presidency was bought and paid for.....but alas we in britain are catching up fast..I give up.

Sounds to me as though that talk show could be being rather naughty and spreading a little propaganda-the theme of which would be "the unemployed are unemployed cos they dont want to workand for no other reason," conveniently forgetting that more and more people are being thrown on the scrapheap every week......Its the unemployd peoples fault that our economies are destroyed.....not the fault of all the hard working,100% honest and incorruptible bankers,businessmen and politicians..oh no!
The wheel turns,after being on top for so long,the west now has to realise that in terms of industry manufacturing etc,we are definitely second fiddle when compared to the asian economies..in short very few want the shit we turn out....its why our trade deficits grow larger every year......as for a recovery..well where exactly is that recovery gonna come from? maybe we could start selling nuclear bombs to emerging countries like iran,n.korea or sierra leone? :lol: might bring in a few pennies I guess.The west today could be likened to a fleet of puffer fish....full of hot air and practically no substance...Im 62-im glad ive had my life,my generation in my view have had the best of it..the youngsters today will have to steel themselves and expect a lifestyle similar to that of the early 1900s (living 3 families to room,sgharing each others shoes,tipping their hats to the landowners etc).....welcome to the NEW third world (to be)..the REAL squealing hasnt even started yet........Me? Ill be ok..Im just about to leap off london bridge loaded down with rocks,singing "therell always be an england" as I gurgle my last breath beneath the River Thames.Face it guys we are well and truly fucked! :x

The only comment in that post that was mine was "Received this from a friend". Since the message of the cartoon was, IMHO, spot on, I felt no need to research it.

As for my research skills, I will leave you with the words of your old friend and mentor, speaking about you:

There were many warnings on President Obama, some from this very site. The Obama chicken "is coming home to roost".
________________________________

Amazing that the Wash. Post would actually print this re: Obama. Amazing!

The Washington Post
August 18, 2011
Obama: The Affirmative Action President by Matt Patterson (columnist - Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?

Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.

He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator.

And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal:

"To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass."

Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass -- held to a lower standard -- because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues: "And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) 'non-threatening,' all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?"

Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist.

Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin -- that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is. And that is what America did to Obama.

True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks?

In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people -- conservatives included -- ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of cliche's, and that's when he has his teleprompter in front of him; when the prompteris absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth -- it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.

And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.

I'm not going to get my hopes up Joe. To be honest, I'm extremely disappointed that what I consider to be a truly good CONSERVATIVE candidate with most of the same values I have hasn't grabbed this opportunity to step up.

I know some people say it doesn't really matter who the alternative candidate is - they have to be better than Obama, but I'm really tired of voting for the "lesser of two evils" every 4 years - seems like I've been doing that for too long.

I'm sorry to say I just don't trust anyone to live up to their promises anymore.

Paul,

Unfortunately, Matt Patterson might not have written that article, does not work for the Washington Post and they did not print the article. That means the email I received was, likely, cooked up by the Radical Right.

That being said, which confirms your own feelings about politics today, IMHO, nothing else in the article is false.

With all of the warts that President Obama has on his history and performance, or lack thereof, there seems to be little reason to add to his sorry resume with these kinds of made up facts. (Washington Post, Matt Patterson.....etc.) The rest of the article is spot on.

I agree with everything you wrote.

Take care,

Joe

i used to stay up til two in the morning to listen to william f buckley...
i don't believe there are any true liberals or conservatives left in the united states.

really, our politicians are not 'we the people'... but we the professional politician.
history shows this is never a good thing, just like police states...
they are doomed to failure.
after much suffering and gnashing of teeth.

Pip,

I believe, a lot depends on who's ox is being gored, so to speak. Many conservatives are against abortion, right up to the time their 15-year old daughter comes home pregnant. When High School, College.....etc. flies out the door, they seem to drag a lot of "written in stone" beliefs with them.

True liberals, conservatives and Christians do still exist but they are getting really hard to find in politics.

Take care,

Joe
