The Media (Accidently?)
Missed this one!!!!

Denzel Washington, and 
Brooks   Army Medical Center

Don't know whether you heard about this

but Denzel Washington and his family visited

the troops at Brook Army Medical Center , in

San Antonio ,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This

is where soldiers who have been evacuated from

Germany come to be hospitalized in the United

States, especially burn victims There are some

buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher

House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay,

for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying

in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses

on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled

most of the time.

While Denzel Washingtonwas visiting BAMC, they gave

him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how

much one of them would cost to build.

He took his check

book out and wrote a check for the full amountright there

on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear

this story and want to get the word out to the American

public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it 

The question is-  why do: 

Britney   Spears, Lindsay Lohan,
Paris   Hilton,   Tom Cruise and

other Hollywood fluff 

make front page news with their ridiculous 

antics   and  Denzel Washington's Patriotism

doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of

any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San

Antonio .

545  PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
   

  
Politicians  are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign  against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and  the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have  deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are  against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high  taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget.  The  president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority  to vote on appropriations. The House of  Representatives does.

You and I don't  write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal  policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy,  the Federal Reserve  Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435  congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices  545  human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally,  morally, and individually responsible for the domestic  problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of  the Federal Reserve  Board because that problem was created by the  Congress.   In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional  duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private,  central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists  for a sound reason. They have no legal authority.  They have  no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one  cotton-picking thing.  I don't care if they offer a politician  $1 million dollars in  cash.
   The  politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what  the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility  todetermine  how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy  convincing you that what they did is not their fault.    They cooperate in this common con regardless of  party.
  
What  separates a politician from a normal human being is an  excessive amount of gall.   No normal human being  would have the gallof a  Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating  deficits.   The president can only propose a  budget.   He cannot force the Congress to accept  it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the  land, gives sole responsibility to the House of  Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and  taxes.   Who is the speaker of  the House?   Nancy  Pelosi.  She is the leader of the majority  party.  She and fellow House members, not the president, can  approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass  it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to  me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand  convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and  irresponsibility.   I can't think of a  single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to  those 545 people.  When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545  people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow  that what exists is what they want to exist.
 
If the tax  code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget  is in the red, it's because they want it in the red .

If the Army  & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want  them in IRAQ

If they do  not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not  available to the people, it's because they want it that  way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not  let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire  and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice  they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate  and from whom they can take this power.   Above all, do not  let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied  mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that  prevent them from doing what they take an oath to  do.
 
Those 545 people, and they alone, are  responsible.
 
They, and they alone, have the  power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the  people who are their bosses.

 Provided the voters have the  gumption to manage their own employees.

 We should vote all of them out  of office and clean up their mess!

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' 

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still... 

POOR 

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.  You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.  You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.  You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

In the last 18 months 45% of the world's wealth has evaporated.

The real estate market has contracted 6 trillion dollars in value.

U.S. unemployment is at an all time high and domestic production is shrinking at a never-before-seen rate as our economic engines wind down.

The stimulus is a joke and China holds 2 trillion dollars of our Treasuries but, then again, China has been our rice bowl ever since Jimmy Carter started borowing from them.

Ever since, each new incoming President decries the lack of human rights in China, talks about their industrial espionage and knock-of manufacturing practices and then sends an emmisary to borrow more money.

This time The Kenyan, himself, will be heading to the London economic confernce and put the knee pads on before Wen Jiabao.

Because, if the Chinese stop giving us money and instead commit to the 8% domestic growth they have targeted, there will be no banking crisis.

You can't have a crisis, if something no longer exists.

By September, this country will be in a worse state than before the stimulus was passed.

Ranting Rich Speaks

And his is all ours...right here from New Jersey.

Since facts cannot be denied and the global implications of this downturn are way beyond the capablities of the neomarxist Obama to formulate an appropriate plan to minimize the damage to the US, two results will take place.

 American enterprise will either initiate its own recovery or we become a "2nd" world nation on the way to becoming a 3rd world entity once current assets, energy and skills are absorbed, used up or stolen.

Look this isnt a mystery. Since WWII the growing plague of the have nots with their propensity to succumb to marxist terror and dictatorship, along with the lazy euro cultural pathos for socialism as currently seen in France, Holland, Sweden etc merely fuels the kamakazi like expansion of the islamic hate agenda.

While the Muslim doesnt need saki to stir his excitement to kill, destroy as the japanese did during WWII to render to the emperor, the Muslim is actually a more dangerous entity since he cannot be diverted by any means known to civilized man to adjust his destiny to a more peaceful, neighborly existence.

I would rather call this global activity a "gang up", not only through islamic "point of the spear" activities that keep us nervous and looking over our shoulder but without disdain or profiling the Muslim........others are doing their deeds to end our economic strength and military influence. Whether a bastard like Soros who uses his financial arm to destroy nations rather than enhance mankind........or a simpleton like Barney Frank who basically is a brainless homosexual, along with an addled Nancy Pelosi whose concepts of governance are based on some perverted set of values that at best would be considered as traitorous by the founders.

 In the begining we had "founding fathers" who although disagreed on actions, were in fact astute, with foresight all for the betterment of the new nation, this pack of politicians today is the antithesis of the founders. To get back on issue.......since WWII, this morphosis began at the Ivy league university that provided this nation with "leaders"......hence the result is in fact Bill Clinton, G. Bush, and now Obama.......not to mention all the players in the lower ranks who are often not duly known by the dumbed down masses......this ranges from Ted Kennedy to Ward Churchill, the black caucus, aclu......etc.

After the high end university was polluted....they moved on down to the state colleges, then the high schools. The disdain for American history, culture and innovation is so apparent down to the primary school level by avoiding teaching, good or bad, the growth and success of this nation, as well as the sacrifices made over and over to feed, protect and elevate those who are not as fortunate.

We removed Washington and Lincoln as icons and put in lesser persons to occupy the calendar. "They" have removed veterans, war heros and pioneers from the roster of greatness and replaced them with moronic sports figures, actors and no talent rappers. Of course our mistakes are highlighted constantly, but the good is ignored. You cannot discuss a single historical or political event without the injection of slavery.......yet as a 'NATION" (not european colonies) we harbored slavery less than 80 yrs (ratification of the constitution 1787 to the end of the civil war 1865). Yet other nations used slavery for centuries and some especially those beloved 3rd world dumpholes in Africa, the Mideast still practice the deed. Besides the fact that europeans dragged the institution to N. America, it didnt erupt from the soil but started with Spain, Holland, England, France. Now this slavery issue is used in grammar school to instill a guilt factor to the entire progeny of white children who in most cases probably didnt have ancestors in this hemisphere before the early 1900's. This method of blame, going to the children, students and those exposed to a limited world view has permeated into business, environment, entertainment, communications, where only Americans must "atone", yet the bastards who maim women and children, behead, torture, starve and attack in the night are "freedom fighters".

This is most obvious in the U.N. which is a useless club of dressed up degenerates who come to NYC to live a comfortable life away from their backward 3rd world trash heaps while insulting the host.
A consequence of the US dumbing down is the 30 or 20 ish crowd that swoons for Obama, who in fact is an empty suit with no ability to address the issues at hand, but the ipod, PC, texting, generation......since Bubba Clinton, views national leadership like they do "American Idol"........a popularity contest.

Instead of a hiring for service skills, rational decisions and an informed policy. Your grown children have handed you a mandate to accept the reduction of your assets, the clearing away of your late term employment, your pensions, yet you still feel obligated to provide them a soft landing in life? It seem rather oxymoronic that the same children you want to "provide better" for have become lazy, guilt ridden, judgemental and unwilling to flip the burger, clean the toilet, weld iron, pick up a wrench, use a shovel as part of the learning to connect with earth, labor and getting to understand how we got here to be as fortunate as we have been.

Their values are not yours, if they didnt earn it........but you or your parents earned it.....what the hell ,there is more where that came from ....right? You produced the Frankenstein, now you want to teach him fine arts? Remember when neighborhoods watched other peoples' kids? Remember when cursing at the old guy got you a spanking? Remember when a kid had to earn some money to buy a whim? Remember chores?
Look at the operatives in the failing Citigroup, AIG, GM, GE, etc.....greed finally bites them in the ass and their hacks in congress could no longer legislate their survival. Frank, Dodd, Raines, Gorelick, Rubin........tried to manipulate the game and the wind blew over their cards.

Now they use the media to "dumb down" the public a bit more. OOOO......let's get those bonus checks back from AIG wonks!.....Really how about getting the 90 million Raines took while working at Freddy mac, or the millions Gorelick grabbed at Fannie, while buying up the dead mortgages. That which Frank and Dodd legislated for subprime interest only no money down mortgages for those suffering illegals and minorities who just didnt earn enough for that $300,000 home, dream they so deserved?.........May they rot in hell.

How about the 40 billion that went overseas from AIG already.....oops no mention of that! It's amazing how the 20 somethings voted their future income and livelihoods down the toilet because their narrow minds, narrow views prefered the "good talker, the diversity candidate, the multicultural activist" and despised the old generation, the specter of their grandfather or anything of the past, regardless of the knowledge or reasoning. Now when the 20 something complains about his lot........I smile and respond........."just make sure you pay your taxes, its your destiny".

All this and I havent even stepped into ........New Jersey and Corzine! Can we say "Goldman Sachs" genius? That will be another day. Just remember......"WHAT MAOBAMA GIVETH, CORZINE TAKETH". Also left off the table......illegals, the Mexican collapse, Chinese trade balance (or the importation of crap), and the purposefully left out health care and gay marriage.....both of which are dead end topics and diversions for the socialists. Somebody please send Barney Frank a comb and bib and Pelosi lifetime therapy..........Massachusetts and California lead the nation in pathetic choices, but NJ, NY are not far behind.
