Cutting expenses
I HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE AND DO YOUR PART
The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget.
I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc, but it's time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back.
I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to have to cut that number by six cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.
(Did the president actually think no one would do the math? Please send this to everyone on your list so people understand what a load of crap this is ---as if they didn't already know)

$50 Lesson
The $50 Lesson . . .
I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.
She said she wanted to be President some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed with pride.
"Wow ... what a worthy goal" I told her,
"But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.
Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked,
"Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me!

Book: After America by Mark Steyn
America Alone: Get Ready for Armageddon by Mark Steyn. Regnery Books. 2011
Your Sneak Preview of Mark Steyn's New Book is Waiting for You
Mark Steyn, author of the New York Times bestseller America Alone, is back with his funniest and most brilliant book yet: After America: Get Ready for Armageddon.
Taking on our hopeychangey president's disastrous plan for our nation, After America reveals exactly what a post-American world could look like if we don't change our ways soon.
After America isn't available until August 8th, but as a valued Regnery reader, we're offering you this exclusive excerpt now. For a sample of Steyn's wickedly clever and devastatingly funny new book, read on....
From After America
It was the worst of times, it was the not quite so worst of times. The predecessor to this book was called America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, and, given the title, you may be tempted to respond, "C'mon, man. You told us last time it was the end of the world. Well, where the hell is it? I want my money back. Instead, you come breezing in with this season’s Armageddonouttahere routine. It’s like Barbra Streisand farewell tours—there’ll be another along next summer."
Well, now: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It was about the impending collapse of all of the western world except America. The good news is that the end of the rest of the West is still on schedule. The bad news is that America shows alarming signs of embracing the same fate, and then some.
Nobody writes a doomsday tome because they want it to come true. From an author’s point of view, the apocalypse is not helpful: the bookstores get looted and the collapse of the banking system makes it harder to cash the royalty check.
But Cassandra’s warnings were cursed to go unheeded, and so it seems are mine. Last time ’round, I wrote that Europe was facing a largely self-inflicted perfect storm that threatened the very existence of some of the oldest nation-states in the world. My warning proved so influential that America decided to sign up for the same program but supersized. Heigh-ho.
It starts with the money. In "The Run Upon the Bankers" (1720), Jonathan Swift wrote:
A baited banker thus desponds,
From his own hand foresees his fall,
They have his soul, who have his bonds;
’Tis like the writing on the wall.
A lot of writing on the wall these days. Who has the bonds of a "developed world" developed to the point that it’s institutionally conditioned to living beyond its means? Foreigners with money. So who’s available and flush enough? The Chinese Politburo; Saudi sheikhs lubricated with oil but with lavish worldwide ideological proselytizing to fund; Russian "businessmen."....These are not the fellows one might choose to have one’s bonds, never mind one’s soul, but there aren’t a lot of other options.
* * *
In 2010, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), described current U.S. deficits as "unsustainable." On that everyone’s agreed. So let’s make them even more so!
On assuming office, President Obama assured us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible wastrel of a predecessor had taken the federal budget on an eight-year joyride. So the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor could get things under control was to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called "Ludicrous Speed." Let’s head for the washed-out bridge, but at Obamacrous Speed!
The Spendballs plans of the Obama administration took the average Bush deficit for the years 2001–2008 and doubled it, all the way to 2020. "We’ve got a big hole that we’re digging ourselves out of," the president declared in 2011. Usually, when you’re in a hole, it’s a good idea to stop digging. But, seemingly, to get out of the Bush hole, we needed to dig a hole twice as deep for one-and-a-half times as long. And that’s according to the official projections of the president’s economics czar, Ms. Rose Colored-Glasses.
By 2020, the actual hole will be so deep that even if you toss every Obama speech down it on double-spaced paper you still won’t be able to fill it up. In the spendthrift Bush days, federal spending as a proportion of GDP averaged 19.6 percent. That’s crazy. Obama’s solution was to attempt to crank it up to 25 to 30 percent as a permanent feature of life. That’s load up the suicide-bomber underpants and pass me the matches.

Teachers cheating
The message from teachers: It is OK to cheat if you do it for the right reasons.
The reason: pressure from the top to improve scores or schools will be shut down and we [teachers] will lose our job. Pressure came from state and US Big Gov to produce better scores.
“Secretary of Education Arne Duncan says that the emphasis on tests does not encourage cheating. In fact, he sees it as the only way to ensure schools are adequately teaching their students.”

Soros World - bio
George Soros has spent the last 30 years building a multi-BILLION dollar empire of ultra-left wing groups dedicated to implementing his socialist vision of how the world should be structured.
Rules for George Soros the Uber Capitalist, big financier and big buddy with Obama, differ from the greedy capitalists in the middle and on the right. GS comes out smelling like an Obama Rose. Offshore drilling for they, but not for the rest of the USA. Membership in the self-exempting progressive billionaires' club has its privileges. . . . [coming] . . . on top of the Obama administration's $2 billion offering in 2009 to Brazilian state-owned offshore oil-drilling company Petrobras -- in which Soros and his management company own an $811 million stake. By Michelle Malkin. [HumanEvents] 7/29/11
George Soros' would like to create a New World Economy that is based on removing the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. This would lead to an economic collapse in the United States! Soros' plan to dismantle the U.S. economy was unveiled at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H. - symbolic for Soros, because it's the same location where delegates from 44 nations met in 1944 to regulate international finance by creating the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
[Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise] Click Here to read more.
He uses this empire to push for euthanasia, drug legalization, gay rights, a more powerful UN, a massive estate tax, increased foreign aid, abortion on demand, global climate change regulations and special rights for illegal aliens. He funnels money to liberal groups to push an agenda that opposes to the second amendment, the state of Israel, the war on terror and organized religion.
This man has the resources and intention to remake the world in accordance to his own vision. But he can only accomplish this if good patriotic people are kept in the dark by a liberal media sympathetic to his goals. [Media Research Center] 4/8/11

This stat should explain it all … a USA Today analysis has found that federal government workers are more likely to die than get laid off or fired. USA Today says, “Death — rather than poor performance, misconduct or layoffs — is the primary threat to job security at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Management and Budget and a dozen other federal operations.” When it comes down to it, 00.55% of government hacks were fired last year for poor performance in the workplace. Their job security is so solid, that there is almost nothing they can do to get fired. So what’s the incentive for them to do well? There is none. Imagine how much better off we would be if more government services were privatized. Make people accountable for their performance and it is amazing how they will suddenly work a little bit harder. If they don’t, there is always someone else there who IS willing to work harder and do better ... so long as there is incentive to do so.

Then there are teachers. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fire even the most incompetent of so called teachers. Isolation in permanent self-study halls and "holding" rooms are the target destinations for these incompetent misfits who rob US Taxpayers and students. Seriously, there are thousands of them sitting in rubber rooms collecting paychecks.

Democrat political self cleansing
Smart cars and abortions ... Democrat political self cleansing.
Research findings. The Red, White and Blue means Republicans. Americans associate the US Flag to the GOP, not Democrats. [usnews.com] 7/20/11 Wow, more self cleansing … and Democrats have done it to themselves, just like they have done by promoting abortions and drug use.
Building a better nation with illegals who cannot read, write, speak English nor want to work. What a political foundation!!!

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "Darling, 44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GIRL. NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."
MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.
AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE YOUR MID-LIFE CRISIS
Holder, Eric DOJ
DOJ Holder used stimulus money to fund Project Gunrunner. The damning evidence [denied by Eric Holder] can be found on page 16 of the Act, under the heading "Department of Justice" and subheading "Office of Justice Programs"! According to the Library of Congress the section reads as follows:
"For an additional amount for 'State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance', $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to 'Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses' for the ATF Project Gunrunner." [Life & Liberty PAC]
DOJ / Holder Gunrunners. There is a new little wrinkle in Attorney General Eric Holder's claims of ignorance regarding the Gunrunner Scandal – Holder's Department of Justice requested and received $10 million in funding specifically for "Project Gunrunner" as part of Obama's 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, aka the Stimulus Bill. [Life & Liberty PAC]
More or illegal guns to Mexico by Holder and the DOJ. [WND] 7/10/11 Click Here to read more.
In 2007, then private attorney Eric Holder defended the group that funneled $1.7 million into the Columbian group AUC (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia) – a U.S. designated terrorist organization. In addition to funding, Chiquita International Brands (CIB) helped the group illegally import over 3,000 AK-47s and 5 million rounds of ammunition into a country ripped apart by drug wars. And Eric Holder not only defended CIB, he initially argued to the court that CIB had done nothing wrong. When that did not work, he helped CIB negotiate a relatively small fine and eliminate legal penalties for the CIB employees who facilitated the illicit weapons transactions.

Holder elects to not prosecute voter intimidation case by African American groups at the polls, with video proof.

Social Security, an entitlement?
Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'
Who is saying that, Democrats, most likely.
This stinks. I am getting Social security and paid the full amount each year of my career. I hear that the presidet wants to stop next month's checks due to the national debt crisis. Read on...
I thought I was the only one that was scratching my head over my Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'
I am entitled to it! I paid into it all my life. But to have it coupled in the same category with Welfare and other hand outs which are not earned by the recipients is insulting!
Entitlement?
You don't need guts to send this ... you just have to give a damn about 240 years of history and the blood, sweat, lives, tears, etc. That others before us went through to get us to today.
Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!
Congressional benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements!
What the HELL's wrong?
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side:
1. Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit
2. The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits. Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?
3. Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care.
At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year.
Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.?
In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Turkey, Japan. And now Pakistan .....home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and tons of food to Foreign Countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.
YET...
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if our GOVERNMENT gave US the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm one of the 1%.
I Just Did
Note: This was passed along to TheRightJack. It is obvious that some of our seniors are a very disturbed that our Big US Gov can spend and spend on all sorts of needless projects but then turn right around and use the Debt Ceiling "faux crisis" as a way to pressure Republicans into going against the wishes of the US people. So ... Do not raise the debt ceiling. Cut spending, but not at the expense of seniors who have paid their way and soldiers who are paying with their lives.

Education: Tennessee Football Coach FIRED over song
Tennessee Football Coach FIRED for Making Obama Song!
HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS BEST!
He's going to make more money when this song becomes a big hit than he would teaching school.
Tennessee middle school assistant football coach, age 26, fired for a song he wrote and played!
When you go to the link for the song, there are a couple of sites that give the news on the firing. This could be the next number one hit country song. It's the best effort yet at encapsulating the outrage at the oversteps of this government in an entertaining song.
Apparently, the guy was fired over the song because some parents complained. If you like it, help it go "viral" by passing it along to everyone you know.

Article: Worker's Compensation Fraud Cases
The World’s Most Extreme
Workers’ Compensation Fraud Cases
If She Can’t Work, How Is She Riding in the Rodeo?
by Paul Colbert
Paul Colbert has seen it all. He has seen crippled people walk, the infirmed ride horses and even blind men see again. He’s a detective and founder of Meridian Investigative Group, a corporation that specializes in investigating workers' compensation fraud. Through his work, he has seen people walk with crutches one day, and ride in a rodeo the next. While that may seem funny to some people, Colbert’s concern is that people don’t take workers’ compensation fraud seriously.
“When people hear about some of the fraud cases we have worked, sometimes I get the feeling they don’t have a problem with it, because they think the only people being hurt are the insurance companies,” Colbert said. “That notion couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, workers’ comp fraud costs the average consumer about $900 a year through increased insurance rates, increased healthcare costs and revenue stolen from their employers, which reduces their paychecks and bonuses.”
Colbert’s agency investigates thousands of cases each year, but he shared only a few that he felt were the most compelling and clearly negligent. For legal purposes, the names of the following fraudsters have been changed, but the videos revealing their fraud can be seen at www.migclaims.com.
** Kristy G: She alleged that her right foot was so injured that she couldn’t walk for for extended periods of time or be a productive member at her place of employment. Meridian’s video caught her walking into the doctor’s office with her crutches and ambulatory aid for her ankle. Later, she was videotaped walking around without the crutches and holding her boot in her hand, trying to hit someone with it and then stalking off quickly without any aid or signs of disability.
** Kathy V: Her alleged injury was to her neck and shoulders, and in her claim, she indicated that she gets regular injections in her arm for pain. Her pain was so severe, that she could not work. Meridian later videotaped her riding in a rodeo competition on two different occasions, after her date of injury.
** Eddie R: His alleged injury was to his back, left ankle and heel. Again, his injuries were to such a degree that he could not work anymore. Meridian’s video captured Eddie handily pushing his pickup truck after it stalled.
** Burt F: Burt filed a claim indicating the he was allegedly legally blind due to his workplace injury, but apparently not blind enough to prevent him from working as a maintenance man at an apartment complex. He was captured on video driving a golf cart and performing maintenance duties.
“When I see things like this day in and day out, it makes me wonder why people aren’t as outraged about it as I am,” Colbert added. “I see how much these fraudsters cost the system, and those costs are passed on to every consumer in the United States.
Some of us even know people who are getting away with it, and some of them figure, ‘hey, it’s cool, someone’s finally getting one over on the insurance companies,’ but they couldn’t be more wrong. All these people are doing is reaching into all of our pockets to pay their rent and go on vacations. It’s unfair to the people who go to work every morning – and some who even work two jobs – so they can make ends meet honestly.”

The Blonde Phone Call
Hi Mom, How are you?"
"Hi Molly, where are you? I thought you were with your father at Ace Hardware"
"Yeah we were, but I got arrested, and they've let me make one phone call"
"What happened?"
"Oh . . . I punched this African-American woman in the head."
"What on earth, why did you do that?"
"Well it wasn't my fault. Dad told me to find a Black & Decker."

Economic facts about USA
It's the economy stupid and you cannot fix stupid.
Here are the FACTS:
America and her finances are in desperate trouble.
Current Federal Deficit & Debt ...
• $1.347 Trillion - The amount the Federal government has overspent in 2011 - with 5 1/2 months left to go in the fiscal year
• $354 million per day - The amount every single day the Federal government is now over-spending, (not including Social Security & Medicare)
• $14.2 Trillion - The amount of money the Federal government has already borrowed and must pay back
• $1 Million every 46 seconds - The rate at which the National Debt, (interest + additional deficit spending, but not including unfunded mandates is growing as of April 2011)
• $128,561 - The amount of Federal Debt per taxpayer ... thanks to political hacks in Washington, DC
Taxing the Rich Won't Fix It ...
• $1.3 Trillion - Total value of all cash & assets for the richest people in America, (as reported by Forbes) - seizing all assets would cover less that 1/3 of 2011 spending
• $4.6 Trillion - Total value of all small business assets - barely enough to cover all 2011 spending
• $13.8 Trillion - Total value of all U.S. corporate assets - not enough to pay off the National Debt
Taxing Everyone won't Fix It ...
• $77 Trillion - The total assets of every American household, small business and corporation
• $127 Trillion - The total National Debt plus "Unfunded Liabilities" (aka the empty I.O.U filled trust funds for Social Security, Medicare & Medicare Part D)
• $50 TRILLION DOLLARS - The total amount of Federal Debt & Unfunded Liabilities is $50 trillion MORE than the total asset value of every man, woman, child, business and corporation in America!

Book: Stealing You Blind
Book: Stealing You Blind by Iain Murray. Regency Publishing
Ten Outrageous Government Boondoggles And Dozens More Shocking Examples of Waste and Greed
"If you believe public servants should serve the public and not themselves, get this book."—Michelle Malkin
Did you know:
• Washington spends $92 billion on corporate welfare versus $71 billion on homeland security
• Washington spent $1.8 million to help build a private golf course in Atlanta, Georgia
• Los Angeles spent $111 million in stimulus money—to create 55 jobs
Since the Obama administration has taken office a new trend has emerged: Government by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats.
So says author Iain Murray in his shocking new exposé:
Stealing You Blind: How Government Fat Cats are Getting Rich Off of You.
Blowing the whistle on the out-of-control bureaucracy, inflated salaries, sky-high pensions, and so called "work" that defines the public sector, Murray unveils the unbelievable truth about where—and how—American's hard earned money is being spent. Murray reveals just how much goes into the pockets of bureaucratic officials, their incompetent government workers, lazy union bosses, and even educators banned from the classroom.
"Our government claims they have The People's best interest in mind," says Murray, "but politicians and bureaucrats siphon taxpayer money to benefit only themselves and their cronies."
Filled with shocking stories of boondoggles and bloat, Stealing You Blind is a rousing call to reclaim our rights as taxpayers and save our economy from the bureaucrats who are driving America to financial ruin.

Agenda 21
White House Takes Aim at Rural America by Executive Order
[Canadian Free Press] Click Here. Readers can find multiple versions of this article by searching for "White House Takes Aim at Rural America"
Where, exactly, does the U.S. Constitution authorize the federal government to create “sustainable communities” to:
… expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.
Clearly, the Constitution provides no such authority, and the 10th Amendment prohibits the federal government from engaging in activity not explicitly enumerated and authorized in the Constitution. This fact meant nothing to Bill Clinton, who created the President’s Council on Sustainable Development by executive order. Nor does this fact have meaning to Barack Hussein Obama.
On June 9, 2011, by Executive Order 13575, Obama created the White House Rural Council. This new council consists of 25 Cabinet secretaries – or their designee – and is chaired by the secretary of Agriculture. The mission of the council is to:
… work across executive departments, agencies, and offices to coordinate development of policy recommendations to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America, and shall coordinate my Administration’s engagement with rural communities.
Anyone who has ever had cow manure on his boots knows full well that until the federal government decided to get “engaged” with rural communities to improve the quality of life for the poor souls who live in fly-over county, farming and ranching fed the nation. Rural America provided the resources that fueled unprecedented prosperity. Not until the government showed up to help did rural families begin to suffer.
Obama’s new White House Rural Council has the potential to be much worse than anything Franklin Roosevelt ever dreamed about. In 1992, the U.N. produced a 40-chapter, non-binding policy document called Agenda 21. This document sets forth recommendations to transform capitalism and a free republic into an administrative unit of global governance. Bill Clinton’s PCSD began imposing these policies on American towns and cities in the mid-1990s. Obama’s new council is designed to continue and expand the implementation of these policies into the hinterland.
Remember the National Animal Identification System, which USDA said was being abandoned. Ha! It’s back. This new council will have the effect of multi-jurisdictional enforcement. Simply put, if a rancher or farmer fights too hard against the new USDA electronic identification system, the rancher can and will be identified throughout every agency in the council and forced to submit to inspections and enforcement of every rule and regulation imaginable. This is multi-jurisdictional enforcement.
Obama’s ultimate goal is to assure that government has ultimate control of every square inch of land, every business activity, the curriculum in every school and, ultimately, the information that may be conveyed on the public airways.
This is the goal of Agenda 21. Its recommendations are designed to produce this outcome. The program is called “Sustainable Development,” which means in real terms “government-approved” development. Every recommendation in Agenda 21 requires government enforcement. Any activity that is preceded by the word “Sustainable,” should be recognized as a “government-controlled” activity.
Sustainable Development brings the concept of “Amortization of Non-Conforming Uses.” This means that, over time, the right of private landowners to occupy their houses will automatically be extinguished, and owners will be forced to leave their property without just compensation. This is happening in both urban and rural areas of the country. One of the more blatant examples was revealed in an article published by the LA Weekly News, June 23: “L.A. County’s Private Property War.”
Countless L.A. County property owners have been victimized by armed NATs (Nuisance Abatement Teams) issuing citations for “living on the land illegally” and other equally ridiculous code violations. This is on land the victim owns. The code violations arise from new codes that comply with Agenda 21. These codes did not exist when the homes in Antelope Valley were built 20 and 30 years ago. Owners have had the time since the new codes were adopted, until recently, to bring their structures up to code. Those who failed to do so have now effectively lost their property to the county – without compensation. The fact that the land owners had no idea these ridiculous codes had been adopted is no excuse. This is “Amortization of Non-Conforming Uses.”
Logo used by the "Local Agenda 21" movement, dadalos.org, dove imagery becomes a grasping hand
This is “Agenda 21′s Sustainable Development” operating in the rural areas of Los Angeles County. This is what the rest of rural America can expect from the White House Rural Council in the months and years ahead.
To a large extent, the federal government has imposed this principle for quite a while. Think: endangered species, wetlands, sodbuster, uncontrolled wildfires, wilderness designations and other land-use control policies that have no constitutional basis.
Agenda 21 and ICLEI are a “Clear and Present Danger” to the Liberty in and Sovereignty of the United States of America.
Progressivism, Marxism, Socialism and and all the other enemies of a free people act like a mold. They do not attack at only one single point, but at each and every boundary and facet that they can make headway. There is a “war” of ideology that is “going over the heads” of most citizens that don’t realize the significance of it.

Note from TheRightJack: Many US citizens and some state governments are very concerned about the US Big Gov's needless quest for more and more land. In some cases, the purpose is to stop exploration for energy. In other cases, they want to stop all economic development by private citizens and corporations. This is being done by both Democrats and Republicans.

Global Warming: Consensus is not fact
Consensus is not Fact. That is well worth repeating.
Global warming and climate change was a segment topic on NPR this morning [6/21/11] It was pointed out that the concensus of many scientific groups is that global warming is occurring. They also seem to agree again by concensus that is it man-made.
Scant attention was paid to other scientists and scientific groups who Do Not Agree that global warming is occurring and that if it is happening, it is man-made.
There is an interesting and behind the scenes fact that should be pointed out here once again. Many scientists earn their livelihoods from various types of grants awarded to this scientific community, among others. In what may be far too many cases, grants are awarded to scientists who study certain topics and agree with the common concensus about certain topics. These scientists then conduct and produce research results that comes to conclusions that agree with the common concensus.
In some circles this is called a daisy chain. Family and faculty variations of this concept is called in-breeding.
Now get this. Scientists who agree with the common concensus and produce research conclusions that agree with the common concensus receive even more grants to study variations of what the decision makers agree is the common concensus.
How is that for a Circle of Truth! This is a reenactment of the Flat Earth consensus that existed before the 1500s during the age of sea-going explorers.
Those who disagree with or do not want to study what is deemed as the common concensus, Do Not Receive These Grants because the concensus makers are the decision makers. Hence, the views and research findings of those who are not in the “Circle” do not see the light of day or peer review. Researchers who agree with the common concensus are enlightened and favored.
Consensus is not fact. Concensus is an agreed upon conclusion by what may be called a deliberative body or authorities and thus, not shown to be a fact.
Gravity is a fact. Religion is a belief and global warming is treated as a religion by its believers.
4 time 4 equals sixteen. That is not the consensus of mathematicians. It is a demonstrable fact that upon which all people agree.
The boiling point of water at standard temperature and pressure is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, 100 degrees centigrade. That is not the consensus of physicists. It is a demonstrable fact that can be replicated over and over.
In the age of exploration of Christopher Columbus, the common concensus was that … the earth is flat. It took a few brave sea-faring adventurers to show that, in fact, the world is round.
Global warming and climate change are not demonstrable facts. They are agreed upon conclusions derived by consensus by suspect research. Further more, it is not agreed upon that global warming can ever be show to be true or false.
The sky is falling.
The global warming and climate change believers, even if they know that they are unable to show this, in fact, that it is happening, still believe that we need to make massive changes to our way of living to protect the earth from total destruction.
Unfortunately, their “religion” is not being followed by most of the nations on earth. So, at this time, most of the burden of “reducing” global warming and climate change falls on the US economy and a few other nations.
This question arises. Are these global warming and climate change activists motivated by scientific or political purposes. Many non-believers suspect that their motives are political, not scientific, and that they relate mostly to the destruction of capitalism and the American Way rather than saving the earth from total destruction. The body of non-believers is growing as much research on global warming and climate change has been shown to be contrived to fit the desired outcome and common concensus … and that is a fact. =TheRightJack

Update on 7/3/11

Business writers from the New York Times, not exactly a mouthpiece for the Republican Party, lay our financial problems at the feet of Democrats in Congress and Wall Street. This is not what one would expect to find since the New York Times is considered the unofficial mouthpiece of most all Democrats in the media.

Men who signed the Declaration of Independence

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It is not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: freedom is never free! I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many people as you can, please. It is time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
Oh yes, support your local tea party too.

Twitter: @LJBinFLA Louise Bradshaw Someone asked me the other day how we celebrate 4th of July in England. I said "we don't." They asked "why?" Really?
