What I would do about Iran

Seems the more we, the United States and a handful of other nations try to do to curb Ahmadinajad from continuing his march toward nuclear arms, the more he and the mullahs demonstrate they have no intention of giving in to any pressure.

So what to do?

1. Admit once and for all that Iran wants nuclear weapons and do not care what the UN or anyone else in the world thinks about it.

2. Tell Iran, fine, go ahead and build your weapons. But if we see you even look cross eyed at another nation with your weapons, we'll just wipe you off the face of the earth.

Period. Move on to next problem.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're off on one of our infamous road trips so I'll check back on probably Saturday.

Meanwhile consider this: while Congress is off for the holiday they can't pass during the dead of night any bills.

See, just one more thing to be thankful for.

Senate Votes for Sales - get yer Senator right here, top bid!!!

And they BRAG about how much they get?!! What has happened to America?

So it looks like Harry Reid will get his debate November 30th. How many other deals will be made leading up to the final vote?

We desperately need legislative reform. Each bill should be one subject, no tag ons, add ons or hidden agendas.

This is disgusting and the people of Arkansas and Louisiana should really think about how they want to be represented.

HR 615 - If Congress wants a health care bill then they should use it too

This is one of a number of emails going around, you may have received one, but if not check out the website below:

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.

Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:

http://fleming.house.gov/index.html .
Fill out name address, etc...click "YES" and submit!!

Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.

Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

Get Out Of Our House!!!

Another interesting group!

Understanding Muslims

This is an amazing article giving insight into the thought process.

Think outside the box

Did you know that the states, without any input from either part of Congress, has the constitutional right to enact Amendments to the Constitution? There are two methods to amend the Constitution.

From the Constitution:

Article V - Amendment

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

The second method, application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, has never been used.

The President has no veto power over this method. Infact no politicians currently in Washington need be involved at all!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine, just try, if the states as a group were to decide to nullify all non-constitutional acts taken by Congress in the last 100 years!!!!!!!!!! Eliminate income tax. Eliminate Social Security tax and return the care of the elderly and infirm to the state control. Eliminate the Department of Education, return the education of our children to the state and local level with direct involvement of parents.

Return the selection of Senators to the state legislature where it was designed by the founding fathers.

Our states were designed to operate as their own soverign entities. As Reagan said "you can always vote with your feet" but with the federal government making all our decisions and governing, hell RULING every aspect of business, education, where and how we live, there is no longer any difference between states. This separation of states was the entire reason for the Declaration of Independence leading to the Revolutionary War and also why we fought a second war, the Civil War.

We like the diversity of our states, Texas is different than New York. North Carolina is different than Oregon. We would like to keep it that way.

So I ask again, can you imagine.....

Think about it, you will be hearing more about this as many states are indeed, considering this action.

Achievements

From our favorite correspondent, butt neckid!!! Thanks BN.

This person does NOT get it.

Posted on Boortz: "it's going to be hard for the GOP to win the important elections if they keep throwing out people who have been there for them for years.
By X Republican"

Been there for who? Washington? Yeah that makes sense.

These RINO's sure haven't been there for the voters. That is why they have to go.

I keep running into these morons who claim they are conservative and they are oh so worried about the Republican party, afraid the party is being hijacked by talk radio, etc., blah blah blah.

Find it very hard to believe they think it is better to let the party keep supporting for election, politicians who continue to spend all our tax money plus more and vote away our rights! Yeah that's good for the country!

Maybe they are actually plants...

Liberal Minds

I like to go back and read posts and comments from the past. It's funny sometimes how right they were.

This from a good friend:

Acouple of quotes for you by Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter Jr. M. D. from his book called THE LIBERAL MIND;THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAUSES OF POLITICAL MADNESS (2008)
"The roots of liberalism-and its associated madness-can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind."

" Like spoiled, angry children, they {liberals} rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."

And not an exact quote from the book but the ideas here condensed:
While we do not say that liberals are ipso facto clinically mad, there are many characteristics of liberalism that are associated with the classic symptoms of madness, including:
*creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization
*satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation
*augmenting primitive feelings of envy
*rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

I have seen so many people like this in my career. People who never grow up and never want to. They think the world owes them a living as my grandma used to say.

Republican Health Care Plan 3962

This is more like it, 230 pages with benefits available January 2, 2010, not five years from now.

Clarification on Health Care desparately needed!!!

I have noticed on more than one forum a GRAVE MISUNDERSTANDING of the cost of any of these health care bills.

Over and over I see "well 1.2 trillion over 10 years for 300 million people is only....".

PEOPLE LISTEN UP!!!! That 1.2 trillion (that will grow) is to cover the people who cannot get insurance now because of pre-existing conditions OR they can't afford it. Actually most of it is administrative costs.

You will STILL have to pay your own premium. Okay? You will NOT get a break with this plan. If anything, the costs of all health related items will go up, since medical equipment companies, drug companies, etc., are going to be taxed more to pay for this. Well they will just raise their prices which will effect ALL of us.

The "rich" will also be taxed more, which means they will lay more people off or raise their prices or both.

Okay, just wanted to make sure no one thought the 1.2 trillion was going to pay for their insurance too.
