14th Amendment, What a joke!

The 14th amendment was flawed when written. The amendment should have contained language that would have terminated birthright citizenship when the last child of a slave was born. It was not intended to be a magnet to bring millions of illegals to our emergency rooms so that their issue could join our now bankrupt social security system as a reward for the criminal act of their parents. A repeal of this amendment is long overdue. The repeal should also be retroactive to cancel any citizenship granted to children born here who cannot prove that at least one parent was a legal citizen of this country. Wake up Boomers, or be willing to lose the contributions that you paid into the social security system all the years that you worked. Call your representative and your Senators now. Tell them your vote depends on their action in this matter.

Seattle P.D. delivers free lip Botox

Is Al Sharpton on his way to Seattle yet? I see another beer summit in Obama's future. The police in this country have a difficult job at best. There once was a time when resisting arrest would result in whatever action was necessary to regain control of the situation. There is a segment of our population who feels they are above the law. If you want to see what I mean, pay close attention to what happens to the cop in Seattle who was attacked by the 2 "Ladies." If these jaywalkers would have kept their mouth shut and shown this cop a little respect, they would have been given a warning and a "have a nice day." For what it's worth, this Seattle cop made my day. Hell, he made my year.

Can You Say Radical Islam, Children?

Can you say Radical Islam, children? Evidently not, if you are Eric Holder or Alan Colmes. I hope everyone in America had the opportunity to watch our Attorney General refuse to acknowledge the term "Radical Islam" before Congress last week. The message was made even more clear when Alan Colmes appeared on Megan Kelly's Fox News program. Mr. Colmes would not accept the term "Radical Islam" either. After watching some true progressive liberals ignore the existence of the Jihad, two things became very clear to me.

First: How far from reality the far left has strayed in this country and how vulnerable that makes us while they are in control of our government.

Second: The horrible thing we have done to our children by letting a progressive movement run unchecked in this country. The thing most "Totally Transformed" is the likelihood of our country's survival.

With God's grace, we may still have time to save this country. Our biggest tools are our vote and our voice. There has never been a more important time in our lifetimes to use them both wisely. Our country and our children are counting on us.

T.B.T.F. "Too Big To Fail"

This thought has brought me out of hibernation. A new entity has been created by the global economy. It is the "Global American Taxpayer." Take Greece, for example. Ten billion or so American taxpayer dollars were included in their I.M.F. bailout. You might ask how, at a time of extreme financial peril in our own country, this could happen. In a global economy, almost all countries are T.B.T.F. They tell us our exposure would have been many billions more of our American tax dollars if we had allowed a chain reaction starting in Greece to bring down more T.B.T.F. countries in the European Union. In other words, we have forever tied the success of our country to the success of an endless number of T.B.T.F. countries around the world. Does this sound smart to anyone?

The fact is, there is one entity that comes to mind that would not be T.B.T.F. You guessed it, the Global American Taxpayer. We will be on our own in a sea of vultures. We will also have no one to blame but ourselves for not standing up to the global progressive movement in this country.

What say we dump the global crap and replace it with trying to save the United States of America? Anyone still want to play for that team?

"No, I said corpse, man"

My greatest desire is that all Americans with an ounce of patriotism, and especially any citizen who has an elementary understanding of things military, saw the professor in chief giving it up for the heroic Haitian Corpsman (which he pronounced corpse man). He did it not just once, but three times on Fox News. Live by the teleprompter and other peoples words, die by the teleprompter and other peoples words. Man, if I could just get my hands on Obama's teleprompter, no telling what I could get him to say. Can't wait until Leno and Letterman get their digs in on this. With respect for cultural diversity, we must understand that he spent his formative years as a Muslim. Is anyone else starting to worry that Obama, "The man with no shame" might lose it? People with that much ego, and a life of air kisses as "Messiah The Organizer" in Chicago, have a hard time dealing with embarrasement. Bring on Thune and Scott Brown and lets see if Obama and Holder have any moves. Couple white guys beating a couple negros, oops, I mean blacks. That might be enough to make Obama lose his collywobbles. Hell, Sarah Palin might want some of this action. I can't get these words out of my mind: "All enemies, Foreign and Domestic."

"Where Are All The Jobs?"

I keep hearing all of the talking heads asking "Where are all the jobs?" What is missing in this question is the biggest part of the story. What kind of jobs are you asking about? If you're talking about government jobs, they are everywhere. That is, as long as you are not a white male, age 55. Walk into any government office in my part of the world and you'll see what I mean. The government has added jobs galore. Don't forget, government jobs cost taxpayers big dollars. Especially when you consider the legacy cost of their Rolls Royce pension and health care benefits. Now if your talking private sector jobs, the answer boils down to five rather simple factors. When I hear a politician talking about any of these I will feel hope.
First, the loss of manufacturing in this country is staggering. Try to buy something made in the U.S. I do try when I'm shopping, but I normally don't have the option. In search of bigger profits and less government regulation, American manufacturing has moved to other countries that offer cheap labor. That equals a ton of jobs lost in addition to putting an arrow through the heart of our American pride.
Second, sweet productivity. This country has been chasing the productivity quotient at the sacrifice of the service level for most of my life. Every new automation or cutting edge innovation has sent another wave of people looking for work. And what a cost. Remember when you would get your windows washed, tires and oil checked, and a smile and a "thanks for your business" when you filled up with gas? My favorite is the automated answering services and their extensive menus that will take you to anything but what you need. Government and the private sector have saved millions of jobs with this technology and caused an unknown number of heart attacks in the process.
Third, the unspeakable: Illegal immigration. There are many millions of non-citizens who are currently doing jobs that Americans just won't do. Does that sound funny to you? Americans used to do those jobs before the illegals came. You know the difference. When Americans did those jobs, their income was subject to our tax laws and generated some revenue. Now, a large part of the illegals get paid cash and are strangers to the IRS.
Fourth, government should be friendly to business. Business creates jobs and profits and thereby revenue. I'm sure many of you know people who have had difficulty keeping their business alive because of issues relating to taxes and regulation gone wild. We all understand the importance of clean air and water. To stretch this to Cap & Trade legislation that will create billions of dollars of profits for carbon credit traders on Wall Street is a crime. Government needs a new mindset when it comes to keeping business alive and well. Business is where they get their paycheck from. Er, Duh. Ask our Governor what part of this is hard to understand.
Fifth, unions gone wild. I think unions in this country started out with a noble cause. There were some real abuses going on that needed to be addressed. What they have turned into is a death sentence for jobs in America. Ask Detroit if they agree. The wages and pension/health care benefits they have negotiated for their members is rivaled only by government workers. The rest of society gets to live on what they have been able to save and any Social Security benefits they may receive.

Remember these words my fellow Americans: "All enemies, foreign and domestic."

To be, or not to be, "Politically Correct"

As much as I dislike Rahm"Never-Let-A-Crisis-Go-To-Waste"Emanuel, I think the Republicans trying to crucify him because he called some of them "retarded" is a joke. Bernie Goldberg hit the nail on the head. This is just another example of politically correct gone wild. I just love the way they try to tell us what words we can still use in this country. We can't say articulate light skinned negro, we can't say midget, we can't say queer or homo, we can't say terrorist, we can't say God in a public school, and now we can't say retarded. What's next, we can't speak English in front of an illegal resident because that would be disrespecting their cultural diversity? We have more important things to worry about than political correctness. The San Bernardino city trash truck below spoke volumes to me. Thank you Mr. Mayor for making me feel like a foreigner in my own country. In case you can't read it, the city's advertisement says, "Tira tu vaso en la basura, no en la coladera." What happened to the day when legal immigrants repayed the opportunity to share our great country by doing us the honor of learning our language?






On a brighter note, I could not help noticing that Barney Frank is up for re-election in November. I sure would like to see a conservative fill his seat. Barney might not mind that either. Oops! I'm not sure if I can still say that.

As Loudon Wainwright III said in a song, "We are spinning through space on shaky ground."
