How convenient:
Der Fuhrer, Obama, gave his “blessings” for the energy companies to resume exploration/drilling in our coastal waters, and;
SHEEE ZAM !!
All of a sudden we have an offshore rig explode, sink and start leaking oil into the Louisiana coastal waters. And, concurrently, we have two coal mine disasters in Kentucky and West Virginia. Total human body count 43. Thirty-two in the mines and eleven in the oil well platform explosion.
Concerning the gulf, it took Der Fuhrer an extended period of time (over a week) to make a statement AND shut down future exploration for petroleum reserves. He can be excused for not acting sooner due to the fact he was on his "look and see how great the economy is since I took over" tour(s).
Add to this the increase in food prices due to our governments insistence on “renewable energy resources”. In this case, ethanol, which cost more per BTU to produce, requires more raw product, in this case corn and other grains that could be fed to humans and livestock, use of another resource that is in short supply, water and ethanol is not easily transported nor is it as efficient as petroleum.
Where is Der Fuhrer and his multi-nationalist friends taking us?
How about to a world wide famine, a world wide energy shortage, the non-moslem world, except CHINA, being held hostage, for energy, by the likes of that “paper hanging” SOB in Iran, the Saudi sheiks, etc.
Add to this the fact that Der Fuhrer is hell-bent to jam a new energy bill and immigration “reform” down our throats.

Random Rant
Constitution and civil liberties be damned !!
Sheik Barack and his marxist fellow travelers are determined to nail the coffin shut on the United States before there is another (free) presidential election.
Sheik Barack will stop at nothing to complete the transition of this country into a muslim theocracy. At this time he has most of his handpicked people in place. (Can you say czar’s?)
All he needs to complete the deal is get any form of nationalized “healthcare” jammed down out throats.
The republicans, even if they wanted to, cannot keep this obamabortion from being passed. They must have help from their “friends” across the aisle.
The constitutionality of state run health care should not even be a question; it is patently outside the realm of responsibility of the federal government!
What difference does that make? We have an Indonesian pretender named Barry Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia and a muslim illegally occupying the seat of government of the United States! And, he has willing accomplices in the marxist-socialist democrat party aiding and abetting him in his coup of the United States.
Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus, et Fidelis!

Don't Believe It
Even without a "public option" the camel will be in the tent and there will be no getting it out. Ever again!!!! When Barack Pinochio Obama says he is willing to remove the public option from his master plan. He is lying, again.
Prior to his running for president, Barack Pinochio Obama, whenever and wherever he spoke of health care he repeated the mantra that public option was his goal; even if it took 15 or 20 years. (The left knows no time limit)Then he does a 180 and says he doesn't necessarily support single payer.
Howard (Yee Haw) Dean said on MSNBC this morning that a plan without public option was, UNACCEPTABLE!!
Their thinking is to "get a plan through", any plan, it doesn't matter what it says. "We can always change it later." Naturally, the senate and the house bills will not be in agreement. Then, it will go to a resolution committee to combine the house and senate versions. THAT IS WHEN PUBLIC OPTION will again raise its ugly head. It will pass (check the numbers) and we will have nationalized health care WITH the PUBLIC OPTION.
Contact all your friends, especially those who live and vote in other areas and encourage them to enlist others to defeat this abomination !!
The left never surrenders nor is it satisfied. We must defeat whatever form of socialized "medicine" rears its ugly head.
We must be ever vigilant, there is never a time to rest.

Enlist and Recruit Friends to Join in the Battle for Our Country
The following is a note I sent to a classmate who graduated with me way back in the mid-20th century.
If you want to stop the Obamascare death plan contact every person you know in every state. Ask them if they are represented in the House of Representatives by a "blue dog" democrat; if they are, request that they contact all their friends request that they contact their congressman/woman and encourage them to vote NO on this death bill (do not use that term when communicating with a "blue dog".)
Most "blue dogs" are allegedly conservative but remember, they are still democrats and are of the party of Obama. These people, the "blue dogs", will be subjected to almost unbearable pressure from the democrat leadership to support the president; they will be threatened, bribed, cajoled, blackmailed and approached in ways you and I can only imagine. You must assure them that they should demonstrate their independence and courage necessary to fight this battle that and that it is not always in the best interest of the country to go along with the party.
The "blue dogs" are the brain children of Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emmanuel (a Chicago thug). Pelosi and Emmanuel went into conservative districts and talked "conservative" democrats into running against republican incumbents. (Albeit the republicans aided and abetted this campaign.) The result was that the democrats recaptured the house and the senate.
In the house, they have a large enough margin that Pelosi can release certain democrats to vote with their constituency rather than the party, Pelosi, Emmanuel, Reid and Obama. The democrats do not have that luxury in the senate although there are enough republican turncoats that allowing Reid to lose a few democrat votes in the senate and still win.
Once this train leaves the station it will be too late; there will be no stopping it nor turning it around. The government will have control over our lives. Talk to your children and grandchildren, get them involved. We, you and I are most fortunate in that our elected federal legislators (in northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana) are opposed to Obamascare, with the notable exception of Landrieu and she is considered to be a "blue dog" by the media.
Write letters to your newspapers, television stations use any means of mass communication at your disposal.
Organize a townhall meeting in your area, get local doctors, nurses and insurance people involved.
We do not have a lot of time, they go back to Washington right after labor day and I am sure they will attempt to rush a vote through very soon.
Please do what you can.

A Short History of the Democrat Party
It is truly amazing how the dimocraps accuse the RIGHT of employing the same tactics they employ.
Ever hear of “Boss” Tweed, Ku Klux Klan, the Chicago riots at a 1968 political convention and other notable personalities and events in our nations history? Like Joseph P Kennedy,Sr and the rum runners of the 1930 and his affair with Gloria Swanson? No wonder his son’s turned out to be such moral and upright citizens. Like JFK and his many illicit affairs, little drunk teddy and his driving and diving academy. Other notable democraps include Lyndon Baines Johnson, the man who would do anything to be president, and did, Wilbur Mills of Tidal Basin fame, Alcee Hastings of Florida who was impeached and removed from his federal judgeship, then his illiterate constituents, with assistance from SEIU and ACORN sent him to congress, Marion Berry, mayor of Washington D.C., convicted of bribery, “Da bitch set me up.” Elliott Spitzer, the whore mongering district attorney and former governor of New York. Former congressman William Jefferson (D.LA) just convicted on several counts of bribery. Robert Byrd, senator from West Virginia, now the longest sitting senator; former Grand Klegal of the Ku Klux Klan.
The list goes on; yes, the democraps do have such a proud political history.
Thuggery, bribery, blackmail, extortion and the list goes on.

How Did We Get Here?
Have you ever wondered just how in hell did the Republic that was the United States of America descend from being a republic to being a democracy?
You ask, "What is that fool talking about? The United States is and always has been a democracy."
WRONG !!
The United States, at its founding, was a republic. I am sure you all have heard this story: Just after the completion and signing of the Constitution, in reply to a woman's inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created, Benjamin Franklin said, "A Republic, madam, if you can keep it."
We managed to keep it for about 90 years, depending on how you count. Assaults on our republic began almost immediately after its creation. For the most part, most of them were defeated and our republic survived.
The assault began after the War Between the States (not civil war) with the addition of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments the enemies of our republic turned the tide and began undoing all the work our Founding Fathers and early patriots fought and worked so hard to win for, not themselves, US!!
And we began our trek down the road to democracy.
Until the "progressive" movement came on the scene in the closing years of the 19th Century, the way of life our founders envisioned for us was being built.
Teddy Roosevelt who became known as the "trust buster" was a leader of the progressive movement.
Then, along comes another progressive dream, the income tax.
For the first half of the 20th century the country was governed (ruled) by progressive-marxist-socialist. Just as we have now. Harding, Coolidge and Hoover are the exceptions.
And we traveled farther down the road to democracy.
What is our money really worth?
In the election of 1896, the Free Silver forces supported Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan; Republican candidate William McKinley ran on a platform that included backing paper money with gold. McKinley was supported by businessmen who believed the adoption of the gold standard would stave off inflation and help the country achieve economic prosperity—McKinley won the election. In 1900 he made good on his campaign promise, signing the Gold Standard Act into law.
Gold remained the standard of the U.S. monetary system until early in his presidency, on April 5, 1933, F.D.Roosevelt,democrat, signed Executive Order 6102, which ordered people to turn in their gold to the government at payment of $20.67 per ounce because the U.S. could no longer guarantee the value of the dollar in gold. The executive order enabled the Federal Reserve to expand the nation's money supply without regard to gold reserves.
We have left our republic in the dust and arrived at a democracy. Now to advance to socialism. Don't fear, it's just a short step.
We continued plodding down that road at a steady, but when compared to 2009, slow gait until August 15, 1971.
What happened on August 15, 1971 you ask. President Richard M. Nixon, republican, order his Secretary of the Treasury, John Connolly, democrat to remove all ties of the U.S. dollar to gold.
This was done allegedly to prevent "speculators" causing wild fluctuations in the value of the American Dollar. Which was probably true but misguided. By removing all value of the dollar to gold, Nixon and Connally provided cover for the damage Lyndon B. Johnson (democrat) did to the dollar by attempting to prosecute two wars (Vietnam and Poverty) simultaneously. He lost them both and with the assistance of Nixon, left us at the door of socialism.
Read what a Member of the House of Representatives has to say.
We are not quite there yet, but close.
By aiding and abetting each other a democratically elected democrat congress (elected in 2006) and a compassionate, conservative, democratically elected republican president led us to the brink of economic meltdown.
So, they decide to get together and help.
What does our democracy do next?
Why elect a full blown marxist-socialist-democrat, of course.
One last thing:

One last thing:
Our military training manuals used to contain the correct definitions of Democracy and Republic. The following comes from Training Manual No. 2000-25 published by the War Department, November 30, 1928.
DEMOCRACY:
* A government of the masses.
* Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
* Results in mobocracy.
* Attitude toward property is communistic--negating property rights.
* Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
* Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
REPUBLIC:
* Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
* Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
* A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
* Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.
* Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
* Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.
The manuals containing these definitions were ordered destroyed without explanation about the same time that President Franklin D. Roosevelt made private ownership of our lawful money (US Minted Gold Coins) illegal. Shortly after the people turned in their $20 gold coins, the price was increased from $20 per ounce to $35 per ounce. Almost overnight F.D.R., the most popular president this century (elected 4 times) looted almost half of this nation's wealth, while convincing the people that it was for their own good. Many of F.D.R.'s policies were suggested by his right hand man, Harry Hopkins, who said,
"Tax and Tax, Spend and Spend, Elect and Elect, because the people are too damn dumb to know the difference".

Administration: The Game
The following is from a clipping that my mother placed in a folder along with some other miscellaneous, personal "stuff".
I believe the source of this article to be the Shreveport Journal, the afternoon paper published in Shreveport with a democrat-labor slant. (At that time Shreveport supported two daily papers.) The Shreveport Journal and The Shreveport Times, published by the Ewing family, which was conservative and even in the democratic south, supported republican candidates, when they could be found. Now, The Shreveport Times is known only as The Times and is owned by Gannet Corp. (USA Today), any questions.
I also believe this column was written sometime between October 1962 and November 21, 1963 when Kennedy's popularity was at an all time low and before he became a martyr to the left.
Goldwater had begun preparing to take on Kennedy in the presidential election in 1964.

"The Rambler....Finds a New Game
by John McKelway
Someone recently slipped the Rambler a game that might be of some interest to members of the present administration.
Presumably, it was given as a Christmas gift and it may be a big hit in some areas of the city. In other areas, however, it is likely it may have been tossed out with the Christmas tree.
Like most games nowadays, it is a version of Monopoly. But it is not without its special twists. It is called " Administration."
The rules of the game, for example, start out with this explanation:
"Unlike other board games, nobody really wins at Administration. During the game each playere gets poorer as, little by little, all money and property pass into the hands of the Administration. Thus the game is much like real life.
The object is to remain "financially solvent" if possible and the winner is the player who is still able to pay of his debts at the end of the game.
As one plops around the board, after a throw of the dice, he is able to pick up certain pieces of property.
These include such holdings as "The Managed News Service", the "Re-run TV Network," the "Featherbedded Railroad", the "Lemon Auto Co.," the "Rusty Steel Co.," and the "Big Brother Power Co."
HOWEVER, THERE ARE other blocks to land on and some of these carry rather snide directions such as:
"Collect $2,000 for information on fellow taxpayer."
Or, "Election time; Administration exacts your contribution. Pay $3,000."
Or, "You are remanded to public psychiatric hearing for remark critical to the administration; lose one turn."
Or, "You get free Medicare but each other player pays tax of $1,500."
Apparently, the game can get quite complicated. Quoting again from the rules: "When a player lands on another player's privately owned property, rent shown on the deed is paid as follows:
1. The landing player pays rent to the property owner.
2. The property owner is taxed half of his rent by the Administration, except that unions are exempt from this tax.
3. If the property has a union, and if the union is owned, the property owner pays half of his remaining rent to the owner of the union."
Still another aspect of the games comes in the collection of cards the player must draw from time to time.
These are broken down into three groups, "Planning, Court Rulings and Favoritism."
The Planning cards include such directions as:
"Share the wealth. Give $5,000 to the player who has the least cash."
"Administration announces a new welfare program. You get something for nothing. A new tax. Pay $5,000".
"By extensive correspondence, you refute Administration claim that you owe $600 in back taxes. Pay $500 postage."
"Administrative planning staff hires malcontent leftist professors recently employed by the university. Pay $2,000 staff salaries."
"COURT RULINGS" cards include these notices:
"You win case but must pay $1,000 to Administration for court record."
"You lose case and are charged $3,000 for contempt of court.
"FAVORITISM" cards run like this:
"Rusty Steel Co. gets order from Communist for 190 million shovels. Administration subsidizes sale. If you own the company, collect $5,000 from the Administration."
"Administration gives you $9,000 for concocting an October crises for the next election."
"Collect $3,000 for not raising cotton."
"As a relative of the chief administrator, you get cheap oil lease from Administration, which you sell back at a profit. Collect $4,000."
According to the message on the box the game comes in, Administration is "simple enough for children" and "delightful for adults." And, Administration is the game "the entire nation is playing."
It is put out by "The Administration Co." of Shreveport, LA." "
