THE NUMBERS DO NOT LIE!

I have been crunching the numbers of our situation. And i have come up with this. The last time we were in this situation was during the Jimmy Carter days. What a nightmare that was.

But here is the numbers, 1980 U.S. popultion was 227,000,000. Today the estimate is 350,000,000. And that is a conservative estimate. My belief is that it is more close to 400,000,000 with all the illegals. So our population is 1/3 more now than back in 1980. In 1980 unemployment was 10.2%. Now 10.2%, but we have 1/3 more people. which truly makes the unemployment rate 13.6% compared to population per capita counts. But here is the kicker the true unemployment rate is 18% because of people taking lower paying jobs and people who stopped looking for jobs. And when you factor in population growth per capita numbers we truly have a 24% unemployment rate. What was the unemployment rate during the great depression? 25% but here is the kicker, the population of the U.S.in 1940 132,000,000 roughly 2/3 less. Add that to our original 18% unemployment rate. Per Capita accounting for population growth, inflation, tax revenue generation for government, and monies business has been generating etc. etc. we are at 54%. Now you say how can you say that? That is crazy!

  Well this is why I started cruching the numbers. I have many friends who work at thier jobs, including myself. And everyone of them say that thier companies have cut back by 50% roughly. Well I thought the company I work for has done the same thing laid off or let go 50% of our work force and have only been doing about 50% of what we did in the past. So I started asking myself the numbers are not matching up.

  My case in point, with a decline of 50% in everything in our country. Including people's 401K's and other investments, jobs, production. And the number of people cutting back thier spending by the same amount(50%). Why does the Government not do the same? Plus they are the one's that created this mess, forcing bank's to do things they normally would not do. I think it is time that everyone in Government become conservative, looks like to me they do not have a choice. If we want to survive as a country.

DONT MESS WITH THE NAVY SEALS! Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist

Tuesday, November 24, 2009


By Rowan Scarborough  FOX NEWS
 
Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.


The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.
The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.

"I gave the detainee a glance over and then left," the SEAL wrote. "I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health."

Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that "Objective Amber" planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and "they had been tracking this guy for some time."

The Fallujah atrocity came to symbolize the brutality of the enemy in Iraq and the degree to which a homegrown insurgency was extending its grip over Iraq.

The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.

Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.

The military is sensitive to charges of detainee abuse highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The Navy charged four SEALs with abuse in 2004 in connection with detainee treatment.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT "THE KEY TO FREEDOM!"

Gun History

After reading the following historical facts, read the part

about Switzerland
twice.
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.. From 1929 to 1953,

about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded

up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1..5 million

Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total

of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were

rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million

political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000

Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000

Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956.. From 1975 to 1977, one million

educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and

exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century

because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by

new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their

own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500

million dollars. The first year results are now in:

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent..
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in

armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the

past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is

unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the

ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public

safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was

expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The

Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians

disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,

gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them

of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens.'

Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew

most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message

to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in

defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more

important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is

supplemental.

CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!

DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS

IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!

Irena Sendler


There recently (12 May, 2008) was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' .... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German..) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..) She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been murdered. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted..

In 2008, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize .... She was not selected.

The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery

By Nancy Coppock


Using borrowed money for a band-aid bailout of the economy should seem backwards to most people. However, it likely is a planned strategy to promote radical change. Those naively believing that President Obama is simply rewarding his far-left base, and will then move to the political center, must wise up.


The assumption that Obama will need the nation to prosper in order to protect the 2010 mid-term election incorrectly assumes that he esteems free market capitalism. He does not. Rather than win through superior ideas and policies, the Democrat plan for success in the mid-term elections is to win by destroying political opposition.

Obama adheres to the Saul Alinksy Rules for Radicals method of politics, which teaches the dark art of destroying political adversaries. However, that text reveals only one front in the radical left's war against America. The Cloward/Piven Strategy is another method employed by the radical Left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.

According to Discover the Networks.org:

Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation... [Emphasis added.]

Making an already weak economy even worse is the intent of the Cloward/Piven Strategy. It is imperative that we view the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan's spending on items like food stamps, jobless benefits, and health care through this end goal. This strategy explains why the Democrat plan to "stimulate" the economy involves massive deficit spending projects. It includes billions for ACORN and its subgroups such as SHOP and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Expanding the S-Chip Program through deficit spending in a supposed effort to "save the children" only makes a faltering economy worse.

If Congress were to allow a robust economy, parents would be able to provide for their children themselves by earning and keeping more of their own money. Democrats, quick to not waste a crisis, would consider that a lost opportunity.

The Cato Institute reports that the plan will harm a faltering economy, intentionally causing increased job losses leading to increased demands for the aforementioned programs. Even the jobs to be created are set apart to render social justice, not economic revival. Robert Reich believes new infrastructure jobs should not go to white construction workers. Meanwhile, workers at Microsoft, IBM, Texas Instruments, and the retail market find themselves experiencing the life of the welfare poor.

If highly educated and trained workers continue to lose jobs and business falters as a whole, where will these jobless workers go? Could this be construed as revolutionary social reorganization that puts the underachiever above the achiever? Where is the future economic strength when jobless professionals collect welfare and unemployment while dreaming of a minimum wage job? For whites, there's not even the hope of a good paying construction job.

Because these programs are financed with deficit spending, the effect of the Cloward/Piven Strategy becomes doubly destructive. Talk about a perfect storm! The Democrat stimulus plan is a mechanism whose goal is the destruction of the traditional American way of life. It is bitter irony that the American taxpayer will actually fund the destruction of his own ability to live according to the values of our Founding Documents. It is not alarmist to identify this situation as a coup d'etat.

As the flow of money from the top of the economy dries up, job losses and mortgage busts will mount exponentially. The Democrat stimulus plan provides for welfare expansion but not for a robust economy that creates high paying jobs. Is this what Obama means when he warns, "It's going to get worse before it gets better?" If we are not bailing out corporate America so they can regain profitability, we must conclude Obama is working toward another end goal. Recognizing these attack methods reveals the only logical response -- an unwavering wall of "No!"

FREEDOM!

When I look back at great presidents, no one and I mean no one beats Ronald Reagan. When we think of leadership, what do we as American's think of? When we think of a role model in our life who do we think of? Many of our children today look towards sports figures as role models. Or even music industry individuals. And unless you have your head in the sand you have to know these people are not the best people to look up to as role models.

Myself as a middle aged man now I look back at who was my role models. Roger Staubach, Danny White, well pretty much the Dallas Cowboys. LOL But now I look back and say to myself  " Why didn't my teachers teach me the constitution the way it needed to be taught?" And now I look at our kids now and I ask the same question. Do they know what freedom truly is? As our teachers today I believe they have failed miserablly in teaching our kids this concept of true freedom. And why is this? Well when we look at it closly, we know these facts. 1. They are part of a huge union that no matter what they get paid is what they get paid no matter how good a teacher they are or how bad they are. They have no incentive to be all they can be. 2. They are government employees and most of them believe BIG Giant Government is good. It is a fact that 90% are liberal and believe this is ok.

My son has been reading a book on Ronald Reagan, and he comes to me all the time now and ask's me why they don't teach them these concept's in school. President Reagan was all about freedom. Something the liberals can't comprehend. That is why they hate Ronlad Reagan with a passion. What is freedom all about? Go to the links below and find out. Ronny explain's it to the tee! enjoy

THE CASE FOR SARAH PALIN IN 2012 AND THE BLOOD BATH OF 2010

As I look back at the 2008 election's, One name has always come to mind. Sarah Palin! Looking back at that election and all the politics the liberal marxist left took against her offer's many question's unanswered. Why? why did they attack her with such vicousness?

Which led me back to thoughts of in my opinion our greatest President of all time. Ronald Reagan. Many of you were either very young or not even born when he held the highest office in the land. But he was attacked in very much the same way, daily. But he stood firm against the liberal marxist left and recieved finally from them "respect".

Looking back at Reagan he took the libs to task and beat them at thier own game. Taking repeated attacks after repeated attack he stood firm for the value's he sttod for. "Conservative value's" which took us into some of the best times our country has ever seen. Do you really think Clinton created all that wealth during the 90's? Of course not, in fact Clinton rode those Reagan coat tales all those years. And in the end the Clinton admistration is truly the cause of what trouble we are in today. They "Clinton admistration" are the one's that forced the banks to loan all that money to people who could not afford it.

Now looking at Mrs. Palin, during this last election. Who did the liberal marxist left attack. McCain? No! Obama? certainly not! It was Sarah Palin. With relentless vicousness. Why? Well much like Reagan, They knew what she stands for, "Conservatism" Small Government, which means less government, less taxes to fund the liberal left entitlements they give to the poor to keep them elected. Strong military, which keeps our country safe and soverign. And a free market with less government regulation. Things like this that the liberal left marxist don't believe in. Why? because they are sick, sick in the head. They truly have a disease by which there is no cure.

Now during these attacks on Mrs. Palin I told my self right away. "There is something totally Right with this women". And I was right. She is the real deal, She is truly the only one I see which has stuck with her value's no matter the cost. As McCain first turned her loose, his ratings skyrocketed. Well good old McCain didn't like the attention she was getting, Too much ego I guess. And being the true lib repub that McCain is he pulled her back. And what happened, poll numbers went down, the conservative vote stayed home again. And they lost. Fact of the matter is 40% of America is conservative, 36% is moderate, and 20% are liberal left marxist's sick in the head diseased wacko's.

The Conservatives has had no one to vote for. And for this reason the 2 Bush election's were so close, and we lost this last election. Conservatives hasn't had anyone to vote for. so they stay home, or in frustration write in someone. It happened where I live in Salt Lake county. Alot of people wrote in Romney. And therefore Obama won in Salt Lake county. But of course lost the state, we are the redest state in the union don't you know. :)

If Palin runs and we get behind her as a true grass roots movement. She will win! No doubt in my mind. The liberal media is now discredited and thier ratings are dropping of the chart's. So now one who has half a brain will listen to them. And Obama and the liberal left marxist's are digging thier own grave as we speak. "Palin 2012!"

Now to something much closer than 2012, 2010 or the up coming blood bath as I am describing it. Now the liberal left marxist media will not rport on this but the numbers are in and it does not look good for the Dems in 2010. In fact it looks very dissmal. But don't jump for joy just yet. The GOP has alot of work to do. And if they don't do the right thing many of them will be out also. So GOP pull your heads out and get back to our conservative value's and do it fast. If we want a country left, we need to fight. And fight hard! And if you don't, you will get what you deserve. A country taht is like France or some other Euro trash country. With no incentive to achieve or accomplish. America will be no more.

"THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE COLLAPSE"

The commercial real estae collapse has already begun. And no one has been talking about it. Why? Why haven't the banks been lending money like they should since the Obama administration gave them all our tax dollars to do so? COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE! That's why.

When we look at the financial issues that face us today, the collapsing dollar, money not being lent to small business to create more jobs. Etc etc etc. it is as if this administration is purposely creating this situation to become worse and worse. Why? Well in the sound words of Obama's right hand man Rham Emmanuel. "We should never let a crisis situation go to waste". What? Are you kidding me? You are going to let most of America go down the tubes so you can push you Socialist agenda? And the answer is yes, that is exactly what they purpose to do.

The commerial real estate market has collapsed, which will make this situation much much worse. I have spoken to key financial people in the banking system, and this commercial real estate situation used to be a 10 minute part of thier meetings. Now, it's all they talk about.

The largest mall owner filed for bankruptcy last February. They own 200 malls. strip malls are becoming more empty by the day. The fact is the Obama admistration never lets a good crisis go to waste. With less business's opening, banks holding on to the money they have knowing what is coming. it leaves us average Joe's out in the breeze at the mercy of these radical socialist marxist's. What do we do? Vote them out in 2010. if we still have a country by that time. (Go to link below)

The Collapsing Dollar

Posted by Bruce Ramsey THE SEATTLE TIMES


I see in the Financial Times that the Southeast Asian central banks are supporting the U.S. dollar, since our Treasury is not. A cheaper dollar is good news for U.S. exporters, but it is not so good for American consumers. We are paid in dollars. When dollars shrink, our pay shrinks. The collapsing dollar makes most of us poorer.

It is easy enough to find reasons why investors are dumping dollars. In the bailout, the Federal Reserve has created too many dollars. Take a look at this chart,(LINK BELOW) from the St. Louis Fed. Note how the blue line jumps at the far right of the diagram. That's the past 12 months. It is a flood of liquidity. Its consequences cannot be good for the value of the dollar.

Part of the story is interest rates. They are at rock-bottom, which does not make America an attractive place for investors to park their money. And being at rock-bottom implies that the next substantial move will be upward, which will reduce the value of all long-term fixed-rate dollar bonds, including Treasury bonds held by foreigners and foreign central banks.

The U.S. "bailout" and "stimulus" experiments will have to end. We're going to have inflation. In order to fight it, and in order to defend the international value of the dollar, the Fed will have to put up interest rates. Probably it won't begin it this year, but something like that is coming. It will not be popular.

Bernanke's trillion-dollar decision

By EAMON JAVERS

The biggest decision of the economic recovery will be made in the next six months, and Barack Obama will have almost nothing to do with it.

Forget the debate over TARP, and never mind the questions about a second stimulus. This decision is about when to pull out $1 trillion that’s propping up the U.S. banking system. And it will be Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his Fed colleagues who make the call.


That’s hard enough for a White House that knows its political fortunes rise and fall with the economy.
What’s worse is that Bernanke and Obama – like many presidents and Fed chairmen past – won’t necessarily have the same goals for this trillion-dollar decision.
Fed chiefs worry about inflation. Bernanke wants to take the money out quickly enough to prevent the economy from overheating and causing a jump in prices that strangles growth. But move too fast, and the economic recovery runs out of fuel.
Presidents worry about jobs. Obama probably wouldn’t mind a little overheating, say, next summer – when voters are starting to make up their minds about the 2010 congressional elections, and he hopes the economy can shake the 10-percent unemployment rate doldrums.
“Any chairman of the Fed will do what’s right for the country, not what’s right for the administration,” said Ernest Patrikis, a partner at the law firm White & Case who spent 30 years at the New York Fed. “That’s his job – that’s why he’s apolitical.”
“The exit will be so difficult,” said economist Joseph Brusuelas of Moody’s Economy.com. “Bernanke wants to engineer a recovery that does not include inflation. Obama wants a more robust recovery and like many political actors may be willing to forgo a little inflation for a little more employment.”
The White House is already worried that jobs won’t be coming back fast enough next year, Fed or no Fed.
Obama economic adviser Christina Romer warned a congressional panel Thursday that the jobs picture will remain “painfully weak” through 2010, with a seriously elevated unemployment rate for another year.
So all the White House can do is watch and wait, and hope it doesn’t pay a political price for any missteps by Fed officials they can’t control.
“It’s a dicey thing to do, and they know it,” said Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. “They have to be careful.”
The Fed’s moves are shrouded in secrecy, their prerogative to move the levers of the economy closely guarded – so much so that there’s been a recent a rise in populist anger about this all-powerful agency that exists largely outside the democratic process.
But because the Fed is an independent agency, it’s even considered bad form for a president to talk much about it – and indeed, the White House refused to comment for this story.
Last fall, the Fed injected $ 1 trillion-plus into the nation’s banking system – at times, by providing financial institutions with cash to cover their losses as the global meltdown spread. Now Fed officials are already talking about the need to withdraw the funds injected into the economy during the darkest days of the crisis, moves that are credited with largely saving the United States from plummeting into an economic depression.
“Given the highly unusual economic and financial circumstances, judging when the time is appropriate to remove policy accommodation, and then calibrating that removal, will be challenging,” said Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn in a speech to the Cato Institute on Sept. 30. “Still, we need to be ready to take the necessary actions when the time comes, and we will be.”
Translation: “policy accommodation” is the cash, and “the necessary actions” are the decision to ease it out of the economy.”

And is the Fed prepared to the pull the trigger? “We will be” seems to cover it.

White House Tactics Go Too Far

Do you think this White House is still not socialist? Communist? Totalitarian? Well if your still of that opinion, I truly pray for you. Yesterday in a effort to block Fox news out of the ability to interview the job Czar Ken Feinberg. You know the guy that is controlling what these Executives that work for companies that recieved TARP money get paid. And new information has come out that in his power he will be able to control other companies that didn't recieve TARP money, he will be able to control what they get paid also. (Sound Socialist yet?)

But any way the White House said they would not allow Fox to do any interview with Ken Feinberg. So the other media station's CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN etc. stood up to the White House and said NO! If Fox is not going to be able to do interviews then we are out also. Has the liberal media finally woke up? Time will tell.

But here is a link to a great article by Charles Krauthammer on the subject.

THE SECOND CASE AGAINST GOVERNMENT RUN HELATH CARE

This is my second case against GOV run helath care. Read this statistic and then go to link and read the crazy way the GOV runs medicare. INSANE!!!!!

Richard W. Fisher, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has remarked that in order to "cover the unfunded liability" for the Medicare program today over an infinite time horizon, "you would be stuck with an $85.6 trillion bill" which is "more than six times the annual output of the entire U.S. economy", and noted that "Medicare was a pay-as-you-go program from the very beginning."[43]




The present value of unfunded obligations under all parts of Medicare during FY 2007 over a 75-year forecast horizon is approximately $34.0 trillion. In other words, this amount would have to be set aside today such that the principal and interest would cover the shortfall over the next 75 years.[44]

THE CASE AGAINST NATIONAL RUN INSURANCE"THE BIG DUPE"

I have been fuming about this whole GOV. run health care plan. So I decided to make a case against it. And here it is. I started to look at one National Insurance program, "National Flood Insurance" run by FEMA. Now looking into this I have learned this, there use to be 13 private insurance companies that provided flood insurance. Do you know how many there are today? 1, that's right 1. The United staes Government. So if you need flood insurance guess where you have to buy it? So did the GOV. create competition? No they took the insurance companies completly out. Does this sound familiar yet?

So now, this great GOV> run program works like this. You pay per month say $33 for a $100,000 policy. Now here is where it gets good. If you get flooded out, they pay you $100,000 in the form of a loan, that's right a loan. At 4% interest(out of the goodness of there hearts) they give you a great rate at 4%. And you pay it back for 30 years. Now let's say you don't want to go thru taht ordeal again and want to move out of the area with that money and build a new house. "NOPE" says the federal GOV. you have to rebuild on a flood plain on your existing property. So here is where it gets really good. So these property owners rebuild and do what with thier property? They rent it out to low income people. And what's the significance to this? Well because they rent out thier new house to low income people, and it gets flooded again. Well because the people renting are low income the federal GOV loans out again to rebuild at a low interest rate. And all these area's that get flooded year after year after year, are all low income rental area's. Don't believe me? Look it up, it's all true.

So how well does this GOV run insurance program do? Well it is $400 million doallars in the hole and it takes $200 million of our tax dollars every year to help those rebuild thier rental properties. So really they are $600 million in the hole every year. But why can't it be deficit nuetral Like Pelosi says this new GOV run helath care paln will be? People pay premiums to pay for this so called "insurance" and it can't sustain itself? What gives? I will tell you why, it's run by the GOV. Name one thing the GOV. runs well? Name one.

So this is my question? DO YOU REALLY WANT THE GOV RUNNING HEALTH CARE?

RONALD REAGAN

Freedom


A people free to choose will always choose peace.

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have.

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.
