Obama in Campaign Mode

He said,"If we keep on spending more than we take in, it's going to cause serious damage to our economy." (You have got to be kidding me, nope he said it) Can you tell me why you keep spending like a drunk........

President Barack Obama gestures as he talks about the rising cost of health care during a town hall meeting to discuss reducing the national debt, Tuesday, April 19, 2011, at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va. Photo: Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP

I could post the video of this town hall meeting with some of America's young folks but it is not worth watching, he continued to brain wash these young folks with his beliefs that "From each according to ability, to each according to need."

Since he is talking to students I think the following video is more appropriate to explain exactly how our president thinks.........

Why Does Economic Freedom Matter?

Published on April 7, 2011 by Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D. and Matthew Spalding, Ph.D.

America’s founders knew that liberty is about more than just securing political freedoms. True liberty requires economic freedom—the ability to profit from our own ideas and labor, to work, produce, consume, own, trade, and invest according to our own choices. Thomas Jefferson underscored that point when he observed that “a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.”

Why did S&P downgrade The USA Credit?

Do you know the last our country had it's credit downgraded? December 7, 1941 wow that date rings a bell in my memory bank, oh yes that is the day that someone said "this date will live in infamy". Well let's see, the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, wiping out most of the Pacific fleet, launched our country into WWII. I suppose that is the reason we were downgraded.
Fast forward to April 18, 2011. Is this a day that will live in infamy? Back in '41 there was ample reason to see our credit stressed, how is today similar? Let's see, there was no surprise enemy attack, at least not a foreign enemy but it seems there is an enemy attacking us from within.

Yep, we are being attacked from within, by our political leaders, they are using the US Treasury as a slush fund. Today our President made another stupid speech blaming everyone but himself for our problems, it is time for Americans to take their country back.

A repost that will make your blood boil......

The National Disinterest

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Bob Mack

I learned two important things during my long-ago stint in the U.S. Army. One was that you could depend on the guys stuck with you in whatever remote sh*thole the powers that be currently deemed vital to the national interest. The other was that you could never depend on the pr**ks in Washington that sent you there. In fact, a dispassionate study of the actions over time of our professional political class leads one to conclude that they generally share the sinister sentiments of former President ‘Tricky Dick’ Nixon’s eminence grise:

In [Alexander] Haig‘s presence, [Henry] Kissinger is claimed to have referred pointedly to military men as “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy.

And ‘pawns’, of course, are the pieces on the chess board most readily sacrificed to protect the King.

Former U.S. Congressman Bill Hendon and co-author Elizabeth Stewart, in An Enormous Crime, document the betrayal of Vietnam-era prisoners of war by a government that should have been moving heaven and earth to get them back. The book alleges that

when the American government withdrew its forces from Vietnam, it knowingly abandoned hundreds of POWs to their fate…an Enormous Crime brilliantly exposes the reasons why these American soldiers and airmen were held back by the North Vietnamese at Operation Homecoming in 1973 and what these men have endured since.

Despite hundreds of postwar sightings and intelligence reports telling of Americans being held captive throughout Vietnam and Laos, Washington did nothing. And despite numerous secret military signals and codes sent from the desperate POWs themselves, the Pentagon did not act. Even in 1988, a U.S. spy satellite passing over Sam Neua Province, Laos, spotted the twelve-foot-tall letters “USA” and immediately beneath them a huge, highly classified Vietnam

War-era USAF/USN Escape & Evasion code in a rice paddy in a narrow mountain valley. The letters “USA” appeared to have been dug out of the ground, while the code appeared to have been fashioned from rice straw.

Tragically, the brave men who constructed these codes have not yet come home. Nor have any of the other American POWs who the postwar intelligence shows have laid down similar codes, secret messages, and secret authenticators in rice paddies and fields and garden plots and along trails in both Laos and Vietnam.

An Enormous Crime is based on open-source documents and reports, and thousands of declassified intelligence reports and satellite imagery, as well as author interviews and personal experience. It is a singular work, telling a story unlike any other in our modern history: ugly, harrowing, and true.

From the Bay of Pigs, where John and Robert Kennedy struck a deal with Fidel Castro that led to freedom for the Bay of Pigs prisoners, to the Paris Peace Accords, in which the authors argue Kissinger and Nixon sold American soldiers down the river for political gain, to a continued reluctance to revisit the

possibility of reclaiming any men who might still survive, we have a story untold for decades. And with An Enormous Crime we have for the first time a comprehensive history of America’s leaders in their worst hour; of life-and-death decision making based on politics, not intelligence; and of men lost to their families and the country they serve, betrayed by their own leaders.

In 1991, the Senate Select POW/MIA Committee was created to investigate the possibility that U.S. servicemen continued to be held prisoner in Southeast Asia. Senator and fellow Vietnam War veteran John Kerry was the chair of the committee, and its third key member was Senator and former Vietnam War POW John McCain. Kerry and McCain–the Gruesome Twosome. The Committee’s conclusion was predictable:

When John Kerry’s Courage Went M.I.A.

Committee chair Kerry’s larger and different goal, though never stated publicly, emerged over time: He wanted to clear a path to normalization of relations with Hanoi.

[...] The resignation of Colonel Millard Peck in 1991, the first year of the Kerry committee’s tenure, was one of many vivid landmarks in this saga’s history. Peck had been the head of the Pentagon’s P.O.W./M.I.A. office for only eight months when he resigned in disgust. In his damning departure statement, he wrote: “The mind-set to ‘debunk’ is alive and well. It is held at all levels . . . Practically all analysis is directed to finding fault with the source. Rarely has there been any effective, active follow-through on any of the sightings . . . The sad fact is that . . . a cover-up may be in progress. The entire charade does not appear to be an honest effort and may never have been.”

Finally, Peck said: “From what I have witnessed, it appears that any soldier left in Vietnam, even inadvertently, was in fact abandoned years ago, and that the farce that is being played is no more than political legerdemain done with ‘smoke and mirrors’ to stall the issue until it dies a natural death.”

A newcomer to this subject matter might reasonably ask why there was no great public outrage, no sustained headlines, no national demand for investigations, no penalties imposed on those who had hidden, and were still hiding, the truth. The simple, overarching explanation was that most Americans wanted to put Vietnam behind them as fast as possible. They wanted to forget this failed war, not deal with its truths or consequences.

McCain and the POW Cover-Up

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain’s role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain’s military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.

The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington—and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that “men were left behind.” This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number—the documents indicate probably hundreds—of the U.S. prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.

There is certainly ample reason to doubt the conclusions of the above august representatives:

Sarge's Pad

Yep, here you are in Sarge's Pad, Come On in and visit a spell. This new fangled gadget is testing my patients but I am still trying. To start with The keys are to close and when I try to type like a normal person I wind up with a bunch of extra letters. Have no fear, I am using the one finger method, I was taught to rest m fingers on the "home key row" trust me, that will not work with a touch screen.

You see, that screen Is 6X8 inches, fat fingers do not work well at least my fingers do not work to well.

It took several tries to import the photos for this post, I would import and them and send them off to never never land. It was a learning experience but my nerves are shot now, it is time to get back to angry birds.

Speaking of a learning experience, this is a photo of my feet taken when I was taking the photo of my pad.

Seattle school renames Easter eggs 'Spring Spheres'

Spring Sphere Hunt

"I went to the teacher to get her approval and she wanted to ask the administration to see if it was okay," Jessica explained. "She said that I could do it as long as I called this treat 'spring spheres.' I couldn't call them Easter eggs."

NEW GAS COUPON!!!!

Use the above coupon and, you will receive a gallon of gas.

As director of the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory, Steven Chu, Obama’s secretary at the Department of Energy, said in an interview that gas taxes should slowly be increased over the next 15 years in order to force people to turn to alternative energy sources.

“Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to levels in Europe,” said Chu.

Looks to me like we are well on our way to solving global warming, people will not be able to drive their automobiles…….

I suppose that Dick Chaney and George W. Bush are responsible for the high prices of gas……..

Pay Check to Pay Check

Do I know what it means to live Pay Check to Pay Check?

In the first photo my monthly pay was $78.00 per month, photo 2 $150.00 per month the final photo in Vietnam I earned about $600.00 per month. By that time Miss Bee and I was supporting ourselves and 4 children.

The following is reported in REDSTATE

In the past, American soldiers were classified as essential personnel. Therefore, should the government shut down our soldiers would keep getting paid.

But Barack Obama has decided to hold our American soldiers hostage to a government shutdown. The Commander-in-Chief has, via the Secretary of the Department of Defense, proposed classifying our men and women in harm’s way as “non-essential.” That means, should the government shut down, they will not be paid.

Yep, that is our Commander in Chief, the one person responsible for the health and welfare of our soldiers, and you damn right, he is flipping them off. The Speaker of the house had a continuing resolution to extend funding the government for one week and to fund the Defense Department for the rest of the year.
