Defining the single most important political issue of the approaching presidential election.

Say what you like about marriage laws and protecting frogs but until we find a solution to the economic woes, these other things are moot.

Right now we are suffering a trade deficit and what can only be called ‘economic constipation’. The main problem is that those on the hill don’t seem to realize the well has run dry.  To see it their way, the U.S. citizen represents a bottomless pit of money and their spending habits reflect it.

Washington has caused the average citizen to support special interests for so long, it has finally choked off the money flow.  Businesses are forced to close and jobs are lost. So far, the reaction from Washington has been to ask for more and more money instead of putting it back into society.  Supporting something like a new museum in North Carolina, seems to be not only a waste of time but certainly tightening the strangle hold on the tax payer.

There have even been threats to rob Social Security, as though it is some sort of charity.  It’s not a charity, it’s a program the government forced onto the citizens, in the effort to make sure each individual retires on their own income.  For that reason, it not only does not make sense to rob the program, it is not the answer to today’s financial woes.

Keep the welfare programs and dump the special interest projects and there should be enough money to work with, without further taxing the citizens.  We should do away with every program that does not benefit the population in general.  A bridge somewhere, is not beneficial to the entire population unless we happen to all be headed that way and have need of that bridge.

Businesses, corporations, that supply jobs should be offered tax incentives, not further taxing, driving them out of business. Focusing on the trade deficit and doing everything humanly possible to balance that budget, will cure the problems with business in general, thereby providing jobs.  Jobs help to make the world go around.  Killing jobs, kills the economy.

To top it all off, congress passed a law giving them a percentage raise every year.  Considering that the balance it higher every year, that percentage has already grown into an enormous amount.  That’s one law that needs to be altered.  No citizen is promised any such living expense raises every year, why should congress?

It may sound too simplistic to say that balancing the budget and leveling the playing field internationally will cure most of our problems but the fact is it will.

It makes no sense to force citizens in one state, to support something special in another state.  All this does is raise those taxes more and more.  Right now, our country suffers from a constipated condition where the solution seems to be more chocolate.  That doesn’t make sense.

All an all, our government needs to start acting like a business manager instead of a selfish child with no responsibility at all.

This Came in my Email

I CHE CK ED THIS ARTICLE WITH TRUTHORFICTION.COM AND FOUND THAT THEY DISPLAYED A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL LETTER WITH THE LETTERHEAD OF DENNIS GUTHIE'S LAW FIRM.     FYI, This has been checked via Snopes, who contacted Mr. Guthrie, who confirmed he did indeed write & send this letter to Ms. Pelosi,,,,this is one brave American !!!  AND------his credentials are awesome!!!!    Check his credentials. Then read his letter to Pelosi!  Born St. Louis , Missouri , August 21, 1944 Bar Admissions: North Carolina , 1969 U.S. District Court, Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of North Carolina , 1969 U.S. Tax Court Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Education: Woodford College , 1966 A.B.

You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.   I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam , as my son did in the Middle East . I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.   You obviously haven’t read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCullough’s book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.   I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your “public service”. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husband’s investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payer’s expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States ; you only subtract therefrom.   I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husband’s canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.   I await your defeat in the next election with glee.   Don’t ever use the term “un-American” again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded. By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60’s and 70’s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American. But at the same time, I have the right to write you to notify you that I consider you to be un-American, as do the majority of the people of this formerly great country. You are a true disgrace to most of the people who served this country by offering themselves for public service in the United States Congress.   I feel certain your aides will not share this letter with you, but I intend to share it with many.

A fool and his folly is this obama guy. He doesn't even know our history.

Laus Deo
 
 

One detail that is never mentioned is that in Washington , D.C. there 
can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument .

  With all the uproar about removing the ten commandments, etc., this 
is worth a moment or two of your time.  I was not aware of this amazing 
historical information.

  On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington , 
D.C. , are displayed two words: Laus Deo.

  No one can see these words.  In fact, most visitors to the monument 
are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably 
couldn't care less.
 
  Once you know Laus Deo's history , you will want to share this with 
everyone you know.  These words have been there for many years; they 
are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing 
skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles 
which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States 
of America .

  Laus Deo!  Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight 
and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the 
highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most 
successful nation in the world.

  So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four 
syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean?  Very simply, they say 
"Praise be to God!"

  Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James 
Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that 
the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public.  It took 
twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the 
Father of our nation, Laus Deo. "Praise be to God!"

  From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may 
take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into 
four major segments.  ; From that vantage point, one can also easily 
see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles l'Enfant .a 
perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the 
north.  The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east 
and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.  
  A cross you ask?  Why a cross?  What about separation of church and 
state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was not, is not, in 
the Constitution.  So, read on. How interesting and, no doubt, intended 
to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.

  Praise be to God!  Within the monument itself are 898 steps and 50 
landings.  As one climbs the steps and pauses at the landings the 
memorial stones share a message.

On the 12th Landing is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore;
on the 20th is a memorial presented by some Chinese Christians;
on the 24th a presentation made by Sunday School children from New York 
and Philadelphia quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6. 
Praise be to God!

  When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 
1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible 
presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to God!  Such was the 
discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the 
founder and first President of our unique democracy "One Nation, Under 
God."

  I am awed by Washington's prayer for America   Have you ever read it? 
Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!

  "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the 
United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts 
of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to 
government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one 
another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. 
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all 
to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that 
charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the 
characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and 
without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can 
never hope to be a happy nation.  Grant our supplication, we beseech 
Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen."

  Laus Deo!
 
 When one stops to observe the inscriptions found in public places all 
over our nation's capitol, he or she will easily find the signature of 
God, as it is unmistakably inscribed everywhere you look. You may 
forget the width and height of "Laus Deo ", its location, or the 
architects but no one who reads this will be able to forget its 
meaning, or these words: "Unless the Lord builds the house its builders 
labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen 
stand guard in vain."  (Psalm 127: 1)

  It is hoped you will send this to every child you know; to every 
sister, brother, father, mother or friend.  They will not find offense, 
because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably 
never learned in school.  With that, be not ashamed, or afraid, but 
have pity on those who will never see this.

Defend Our Military

Faggots, BF'ers, sweet guys, have no place in our military. Are we supporting fighting troops or are we supporting sex games?

In the middle of hot fire is no time to suddenly feel your combat 'buddy' hugging up against your back side. When sleep is a precious commodity is not time to have to fight off your fellow soldier all night.

Being a female, it's hard for me to have to admit but when we decided to open the doors completely to women, regardless of the situation, we opened the door to destruction. Not that there's a problem with women in battle, but when we stepped through that door, every special interest came running and pushing their way into our military. After all, where a faggot sees leniency, he pushes the envelope right down to parading himself down main street to make damn sure you notice. Kind of reminds me of our new president (?).

You know who would argue with me? Faggots.

What you don't see in the News!!

Taken from an email sent to me.  THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A PUBLIC OFFICIAL LET ALONE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.. AND THIS GUY IS OUR "COMMANDER IN CHIEF". HE IS A DISGRACE, AND WITHOUT QUESTION AN EMPTY SUIT !!!  UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT ? HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES. WHAT AN EMPTY HEADED PERSON HE IS.... Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.  "Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks.

Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.."  "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country,

"Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans." 

Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know. How in the world did a person
with this mindset become our leader? I didn't vote for him !
REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT... "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"


If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve,National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over.. If you or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them.
Please pass this to everyone.
I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hardcore liberals in the US will agree that this is just another example why this is the worst president in American history. Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.
