THE AMERICAN DRAGON IS ALIVE AND WELL!-POST 91

Hi,

This is the week that the Republicans nominate a candidate in the primary in Florida. If you are expecting a candidate choice from this blogger – just forget it!!!!!

Remember what I said several blogs ago. This is not an election about the best candidates. It is an election about restoring America to its roots – its Constitution – its laws!!! Therefore, it is an election to repudiate the socialist plan to change our constitutional government into a socialist mess. So I'm not really excited about choosing candidates. So do your damnedest!!!!!

This is an election for one purpose in our government – to remove as many socialists in Congress and in the executive office as there are seats to be filled. In other words, as I said in an earlier blog, this is a vote against the current president, his principles, and a repudiation of the bills he has pushed through the Congress particularly in his few years as president!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICANS in great numbers hate the health care bill called Obamacare. This blogger is not exaggerating in using the word hate about the health care bill. It is an expensive and non-caring abomination justified by the socialist as helping provide for the poor. It provides all right – it provides less care for everyone in a manner that is totally uncaring and expensive. It is doomed to failure down the road just the way it has failed in China, in Europe, and Russia as well as those states like Tennessee and Massachusetts and small countries, who were unfortunate enough to adopt the socialists health care plan.

This election is about defeating the members of Congress and the executive office that believe they replace the American people in deciding the principles of American government and know more than the electorate about what form American Government should take. Make no mistake-- they have no respect for the voters' judgment, understanding, or collective intelligence. They believe that they know far better than the AMERICAN success of over 200 years in which the United States of America has become the most prosperous large country in the world with far less poverty than the Chinese or the Russian or the European cultures where communism was allowed to be followed flat-out!

AMERICA had accepted tenets of the socialist theories that they hoped would be workable in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Those programs when first instituted were based on a very rigid set of rules governing the use of the funds paid in by working people to provide for the time when they were unable to easily provide for themselves. Those funds paid in by the workers in America were ransacked, looted, and earmarked for repayment of debts, enhancements or new programs and generally used for everything but Social Security, and Medicare. Now the same people, who saw nothing wrong with using funds for other uses that were clearly set aside for Social Security and Medicare em> now want to start another massive debt in a new direction for which they have no funding.


The Communists, Socialists, and Progressives that this blogger has labeled the CSPers may indeed have some semblance of intellectual thinking but they sure as hell have no understanding of fiscal responsibility. They squandered away Europe's hard-earned well-being after World War II with social systems that have corrupted and bankrupted the countries in the Western world. China's experiment with communism has been undermined by the realization that centralized government can not fund or afford its gigantic population. China, therefore, has in recent years instituted a Wall Street and numerous corporate, private-style enterprises but in continuing to rule from a central government has encouraged black markets and wide spread corruption so entrepreneurs can bypass unnecessarily rigid government rules. All to save its collective ass!!!!!!

Yes, at present, we have a crisis in unemployment and a recession and it appears that we are not being successful. However, as this blogger has been pointing out about economics and particularly those concerning fiscal policies, an up-and-down trend in any economy is going to be part of a nation's structure. A good example of this is the current technological change taking place not only in our country but over the world. This change is going to require and does require a change in the economic system.

This change in the economic system caused by the technological revolution has certainly been involved with the rate of unemployment and a change in our economic status. The change is going on constantly and so we are not as aware of it as we were when the computer and the net were new features. New products and innovations cause a change in the way we all handle our daily lives. Certainly, the iPad and various handheld inventions create a constantly unstable and changing economy. Money is now spent in ways that were not available prior to the technological revolution.

To illustrate this point this blogger is using a program called DRAGON. It is a vocally enhanced program that actually types this blog as I speak into a microphone. This blogger had a similar program years ago that wasn't worth a tinker's damn but this program is unbelievable. The technology has become improved by innovations that allow this blogger to approach writing in a whole new manner. This kind of genius is happening all across our country and other countries creating new and better ways to handle old problems. This change or changes helps create new products into which our money is siphoned. These changes however acceptable and helpful in many areas create new industry to replace old and in doing so change the job market drastically. We tend to forget that software, e-books, apps and the like are replacing many other elements in our society and therefore changing the job market just the way it did during the Industrial Revolution when factories became the norm. Therefore, unemployment results and new training is required to re-employ workers dispossessed by the changes.

As Americans, we are a very versatile and innovative citizenry. We like new things, new approaches, and a government that appears to recognize this as well and encourage the continuation of a very open, inventive approach. I believe that our young people thought they saw our current president as someone who believed in that. Unfortunately, he came with a pre-learned agenda based on socialism. Socialism is an old remedy for an old world. It is not and-- I repeat-- NOT the remedy needed for today's technological world vision.

This Blogger is offering an election choice of sorts. Nominate and elect the candidates who most represent our Constitution and our American form of government and least represent socialism. Because voting for socialism is voting for communism and I do not believe that most Americans want to give up their freedom to become part of an old-fashioned theory based on a world that no longer really exists!!!!!!

The New World that we live in is based firmly within technology and requires the freedom, innovation, invention and ability to change rapidly and easily that cannot be supplied by a bureaucratic, centralized government as projected by Obama and his army of socialist followers.

Cheers, Connie

YELLOW JOURNALISM IS UNETHICAL POST 90

Hi,

"The destructive, vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country. I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans."

So said Newt Gingrich in his last TV debate and what does this blogger say to that!!!!!!

AMEN!

Newt has a rejected ex-wife and the reporter gave her an opportunity to EVEN??????? the score. She took it--she's human if NOT ETHICAL. CAN THE possible ECONOMIC LOSS THAT MAY BE CAUSED BY THIS LAPSE OF ETHICS be made calculable? DOUBTFUL. The PRESS USED an evidently still bitter woman's GOSSIP TO SWAY VOTERS TO THEIR POINT OF VIEW.

"AMEN'-NOT BECAUSE OF NEWT GINGRICH OR THE FREE RIDE OBAMA GETS FROM IT BUT BECAUSE THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS IS DAMAGING AMERICA AND COSTING US IN MULTIPLE WAYS FISCALLY AND PERSONALLY. THE PRESS GETS FREE REIGN IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THEREFORE ITS ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. IT IS NOW AT THE LOWEST LEVEL OF SELF-SERVING PROFITEERING!!!!!

Why do voters care about WHAT NOSTRIL GINGRICH USES TO BREATHE or if he uses both??????????? WHERE DID THE PRESS GET THE IDEA THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO HANG ALL THE "DIRTY" LAUNDRY OUT FOR US TO AIR???????

We have had very few morally chaste PRESIDENTS. TESTOSTERONE APPEARS TO GO WITH THE JOB OF MALE PRESIDENTS IF ONLY BY ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER HATES TO MENTION THE FACT THAT WE'VE SEEN NO MENTION OF TESTOSTERONE IN OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!..........HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

SEE HOW EASY IT IS?????? It takes no skill to GOSSIP, WRITE INNUENDO, TRAP UNWITTING AND UNKNOWING FOLKS INTO SPILLING THE BEANS. The right question, the right slant, a compassionate interview--HELL, DIDN'T BARBARA WALTERS TEACH THE PUBLIC ANYTHING???????????

As a former member of the FOURTH ESTATE, I FEEL REAL SHAME for the current members of the press, who have embarked in an era during which YELLOW JOURNALISM is the NORM AND NOT THE EXCEPTION. It's the PROFIT MOTIVE!!!!!!!! MORE READERS--MORE LISTENERS---MORE PROFIT!!!!!!!!!!! Viewers and readers encourage this lack of ethics. I applaud RUPERT MURDOCH for his PAPERS' Conservative VIEWPOINT AND CONDEMN HIM for TEACHING THE PRESS to use YELLOW JOURNALISM to SELL THE NEWS AND DESTROY OPPONENTS.

The NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINE, AND TELEVISION NEWS IS MADE UP OF TOO MANY "HOLIER THAN THOU" CORRESPONDENTS, WHO CARE MORE ABOUT THEIR OWN EGOS AND POINTS OF VIEW THAN A CONCERN FOR HONESTY AND ETHICS.

THE PUBLIC HAS TO SHARE THE BLAME. Although there are folks who refuse to PAY ATTENTION to much of the TRASH THAT HAS BECOME THE NEWS IN MANY PUBLICATIONS AND ON MOST NETWORKS, there are too many more who SUCK UP AND SPREAD THE GOSSIP LIKE HONEY AND ACT AS BUSY BEES SPREADING IT UNTIL IT BECOMES THE TRUTH IN THE RETELLING EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LIE!!!!!!!!

This is not just wrong. It is totally UNETHICAL!!!!!!!!! Why should any candidate running for any office have to FEAR THE FOURTH ESTATE????????? I WANT TO MEET THIS PERFECT PERSON, THIS PERFECT CANDIDATE WHO SERVES AS A ROLE MODEL FOR THE NEWS MEDIA!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS HE/SHE AND WHY IS THERE NOT A PROFILE IN EVERY PAPER AS A USEFUL CHARACTER REFERENCE. NO, IT'S NOT OBAMA!!!!!!!! HE CARRIES too MUCH BAGGAGE. It just HASN'T APPEARED IN THE PRESS so ONE DOES WONDER ABOUT BIAS. THE PRESS MAY TURN ON HIM ONE DAY.

HOWEVER, this blogger is not interested in NEWS BIAS. That's always going to exist but perhaps not QUITE AS BLATANTLY AS NOW. Reporters and correspondents have opinions and it's going to slip into their copy no matter how ethical they may be view their profession. I'm talking about THAT FINE LINE BETWEEN REAL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

TO DEFINE GOSSIP FROM WEBSTER: OFFICE EDITION:"SOMEONE WHO HABITUALLY SPREADS SENSATIONAL OR INTIMATE FACTS; RUMOR OR TALK OF A PERSONAL OR SENSATIONAL NATURE."

PLEASE NOTE THAT GOSSIP IS BASED ON TALK OF A PERSONAL OR SENSATIONAL NATURE!!!!!!!!!!! For years the Press has been getting away with YELLOW JOURNALISM by saying that the FACTS WERE CHECKED. THAT ISN'T PERTINENT!!!!!!!!!!!IT IS GOSSIP IF IT IS OF A "PERSONAL OR SENSATIONAL NATURE'!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE 'THEM' APPLES???????????

Ethics in the news is based on reporting factual, honest stories of the the world around us as well as the broader sphere. It is based on FACTUAL REPORTING so that if a candidate is being covered, the public has a right to know the views that candidate may hold and the recorded background of his/her history.

An ETHICAL REPORT ON A CANDIDATE DOES NOT--DOES NOT--INCLUDE WHAT DAISY MAE SAID ABOUT THE CANDIDATE OR WHAT JOHNNIE CLAIMED ABOUT THE CANDIDATE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCES!!!!!! COME ON FOLKS--YOU KNOW THIS. AND KNOWING THIS, YOUR LETTERS SHOULD POUR INTO THE PAPERS AND TV WHEN THEY BREAK THIS RULE!!!!! THOSE CALLING THE PRESS SHOULD ACCEPT NO EXCUSES.

ETHICS IS IMPORTANT TO THE RELATIONSHIPS IN A SOCIETY AND CITIZENS SHOULD TAKE NO PRISONERS WHEN DEFENDING THEM!!!!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENS when neighbors gossip intimately about another neighbor and it gets back to the slandered neighbor? FEUD TIME AND NEIGHBORHOOD PEACE IS DISTURBED AT THE LEAST OR ANGER CAUSES VIOLENCE AT THE WORST. HEY!!!!OUR COUNTRY IS ONE GIGANTIC NEIGHBORHOOD AND GOSSIP CAUSES JUST AS MANY AND MORE PROBLEMS.

Remember the party game that when you whispered a sentence into someone's ear and passed it along among ten people? It became a MANGLED VERSION OF ITS FORMER STYLE. That's a simple version of MANGLED TRUTH. The police will tell you how much 'EYE WITNESS' accounts vary.
A reporter in the "pre yellow journalism days" was always instructed to talk to as many folks as well as the authorities to get 'AS REAL' a picture as possible of the event. And added to that the instruction was to use the word, "alleged", or some qualifying word to indicate we were reporting only the facts we could gather. IT'S A TRICKY BUSINESS--REPORTING!!!!!!! AND HOW NICE for reporters IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE REALLY GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!! GOSSIPING IS NOT GOOD REPORTING AND DOES NOT GOOD REPORTERS MAKE!

So how does all this affect you ECONOMICALLY? I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK!!!!!! Gossip can cause you to change your really accurate opinions on many subjects or become wary because of what you may have heard. Suppose your neighbor claims that the BUTCHER you buy from IS BUYING FROM A DISTRIBUTOR THAT SELLS DISEASED MEAT? The neighbor, by the way, unbeknownst to you, has a major debt with him THAT he's been trying to collect. You don't WANT TO BELIEVE the gossip but now you hesitate buying there and go to another store but pay a HIGHER PRICE. You have lost money as well as a good shopping experience. This is a simple example but MAKE NO MISTAKE--EVEN THE MOST SEEMINGLY INNOCENT GOSSIP CAN BE VICIOUS AND HAVE ITS ROOTS IN VINDICTIVENESS AND THE COSTS CAN BE ALMOST INCALCULABLE.

When the Press uses its MIGHT TO SPREAD GOSSIP in POLITICS, it is costing Americans first and foremost the quality of its candidates. NOT MANY WANT TO PUT THEMSELVES IN THE GOSSIP-MONGERING LIMELIGHT. Many times candidates quit not out of guilt but to spare their families the humiliation of YELLOW JOURNALISM.

THE LACK OF press ETHICS costs citizens the ability to SORT THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF. Press GOSSIP destroys the value of ETHICAL BEHAVIOR in the society and that destruction causes untold costs in the things that Americans want and need. IF ETHICS HAD BEEN FIRST AND FOREMOST IN THE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY, THERE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A MAJOR MELT DOWN!!!!!!!!

Another example is in the market place. Food today comes from all over the world. WOULD YOU these days BUY FROM AN UNETHICAL GROCER WHO DOESN'T TELL YOU WHERE THE FOOD COMES FROM? It was ethics in Washington that made grocers label foods. A good use of Washington ethical law since many countries use HUMAN WASTE FOR FERTILIZER.

FOLKS--ETHICS ARE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! DON'T IGNORE THE BREACH OF THEM. IT'S A SPREADING DISEASE!!!!!!!

Cheers, Connie

YOU HOLD THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM- -POST 89

Hi,

After discussing the Congress in my last blog, I realized the press was saturating the readers with the Republican nominations and the Presidential election and not offering much in the way of Senate Races.

I suggest you GOOGLE 'WHICH SENATORS ARE UP IN 2012'. THE SITE WILL TELL WHICH SENATE SEATS ARE UP FOR GRABS SO THAT YOU CAN DETERMINE if you have a choice.

In Florida, we have DEMOCRAT BILL NELSON. Nelson's popularity has been largely based on his interest in the NASA program but his record in the Senate has not really reflected the majority of Florida voters. Although he has experience in both the house and the Senate, he is not listening to his overall constituency. His defeat would offer a seat to a candidate more reflective of the MAJORITY views in Florida.

The 2012 election offers a ripe opportunity for returning the Senate to a much more REALISTIC BODY OF Congress and if you have friends or relatives in any of the states with a choice, please think about emailing them to remind them that the Senate needs A SWIFT KICK IN THE PANTS AND IT'S TIME TO PICK NEW SENATORS WHO WILL ROUND OUT THE MARGINS OF EXPERTISE AND VOTING POWER. States such as Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Utah, California and Florida are the most vulnerable TO CHANGE.

THE HEALTH CARE BILL, that was signed INTO LAW BY OBAMA, WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY AN OVERWHELMING ONE PARTY MAJORITY and IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A STRONG TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS NOT IN CONTROL OF BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE. That legislation alone caused the 2010 rout of Congress. MAKE NO MISTAKE, the HEALTH CARE BILL and its FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY drove Americans away in disgust.

MAJOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND A SCREWED-UP MORTGAGE MARKET WAS FOLLOWED BY a poor STIMULUS package, AND a FLAMBOYANT HEALTH CARE DEBT THAT RAPIDLY caused A DISENCHANTED AMERICAN CITIZENRY!!!!!!!!!! This is why it is necessary to keep our Congress IN BALANCE. A HOUSE AND SENATE that will take the best of both points of view without an overbearing thrust from either side.

It's not yet too late. 2012 is the CALL TO ACTION AND VOTERS HAVE THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. A STRONG VOTE FOR A NEW CONGRESS CAN KEEP AMERICA FROM BECOMING A SOCIALIST STATE AND MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES MADE IN ASIA AND EUROPE. It is their socialist economy that is failing while America's economy with all its problems is holding ground.

AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN ASSISTING THOSE WHO HAVE COME ON HARD TIMES BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE, THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA, ARE DOING THAT!!!!AND NOT DEPENDING ON THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!! Yes, There are Government assistance programs for the POOR but many who are in recent need don't qualify. JUST AS AMERICANS HAVE EXTENDED HELP TO OTHER COUNTRIES OVER THE YEARS, THEY EXTEND HELP TO THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. MEANWHILE, AMERICANS have ALSO tightened their belts and where possible ARE SAVING again. WHEN THIS COUNTRY IS DOWN - DON'T COUNT US OUT!!!!!!!THE RISE OF THE TEA PARTY IS PROOF OF THAT.

Remember that the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has 435 members who are elected every two years and represent the districts and THE SENATE has 100 members elected every six years representing the states and elected on a staggered basis (NOT STAGGERING IN MOST CASES). THAT MEMBERSHIP IN BOTH BODIES COMPRISES THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. So that a vote to change the make up of the Senate this election can make it more representative of the will of the people just as the election of 2010 helped make the House of Representative more reflective of the nation.

The House of Representatives had no choice but to become obstructive to support as much as possible the desire of its districts. Although the House CONTAINED a majority OF REPRESENTATIVES after 2010, who were against the Health Care bill, they could not act against it BECAUSE THE SENATE WAS PREDOMINATELY IN FAVOR OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL AND WOULD HAVE THEREFORE CANCELLED ANY ACTIONS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE. So the only option left was to obstruct the PROGRESSIVES' determination to pass MORE SOCIALIST LEGISLATION. The HOUSE DID A GOOD JOB OF HOLDING THE PROGRESSIVES (the CSPs) IN CHECK.

For those new to this blog, a COMMUNIST=SOCIALIST=PROGRESSIVE, or CSP. NAME CHANGING is an old COMMUNIST SLEIGHT OF HAND TRICK. WHEN FOLKS GET "HET" UP BY "THE NAME OF THE GAME", THE GOOD OLD BOYS CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING MORE ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC. The name does not denote a change in VALUES only a change in NAME. After all, they know who they are and what they stand for is Communism.

So CONGRESS DID ITS JOB LAST SESSION BY HOLDING AS FIRM AS ITS SITUATION WOULD ALLOW AND MR.JOHN BOEHNER DESERVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ENCOURAGING THE HOUSE TO TAKE A FIRM STAND IN A TOUGH SITUATION.

Public criticism often arises from a lack of understanding on the part of citizens about how CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK and the blaring PRESS BIAS that encourages that misunderstanding. Perhaps if it's looked at this way, it becomes clearer. IF CONGRESS IS OBSTRUCTIVE, FEW LAWS GET PASSED. FEWER LAWS MEAN LESS REGULATIONS AND THAT IS GOOD FOR A FREE!!!!!AMERICA!!!!! If the former CONGRESS (MANY OF WHOSE MEMBERS GOT KICKED OUT) had been more balanced and therefore OBSTRUCTIVE, America would not have acquired a 10 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND A HEALTH CARE BILL THAT CAN'T BE financially SUPPORTED!!!!!!!

Think about it. An OBSTRUCTIVE CONGRESS=LESS LAW=MORE AMERICAN FREEDOM=MORE PROSPERITY=MORE EMPLOYMENT=MORE RECOVERY AND THE AMERICA THAT THE CONSTITUTION INTENDED TO INSURE!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE

ELECT A PRESIDENT TO HIS REAL JOB-THAT OF A PRETTY FACE!! POST 88

Hi,

Sorry to be absent so long but those of you who know me realize Christmas at our house is a big deal with an annual celebration for friends and family and ending with a private dinner on Epiphany or commonly called twelfth night. Not many even recognize Epiphany these days--more's the shame. On the twelfth day (OR 3 KING'S DAY) we begin the final phase of "deco-done". It was a good holiday in spite of all America's myriad problems

So what about Iowa and the outcome? Psshwah! Only about 125,000 voted out of a Million +OR- Republicans so it proves that those who voted liked the two leaders best. Not the big deal that the TV made of it. And remember in spite of all the control exerted by top Republicans and the Press, when Barry Goldwater ran, he and his supporters bombarded the CONVENTION and turned everything upside down!!!!!!!! STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN IN POLITICS and some of them are acutely helpful!

So, economically, how are we doing???? WHO THE DEVIL KNOWS?????????? I read, I research, I explore and the best I can come up with is that the reality lies somewhere between OBAMA, THE CONGRESS, THE PRESS and THE PUBLIC. IT WAS A GOOD HOLIDAY FOR RETAILERS AND THEY BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN????? Well, it could mean as the press says that recovery is at hand; or as Obama says, "I've made magic"; or as the Congress says, "We've kept the spending in line. OR IT COULD MEAN THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SAID: THE HELL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!LET'S SPEND WHILE WE CAN BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY!!!!!!!

I'm GUESSING THE LATTER BUT IT'S JUST A GUESS. We can't support the kind of debt forecast for 2012 and forward without a lot of what we used to call FINAGLING. YOU KNOW THE KIND--YOU ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL; THEN YOU ROB PAUL TO PAY SAM; THEN YOU ROB SAM TO PAY ETC. ETC. ETC. THE OUTCOME????????????MORE MASSIVE DEBT!!!!!!!!!!

One OF THE EMAILS I RECEIVED AND IN TURN FORWARDED really nailed it. It showed subtracting ALL OF THE WEALTH IN ALL OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE MONSTROUS AMOUNTS SPENT ON THINGS LIKE SPORTS) AND PICKING THE POCKETS OF THE WEALTHY AND THE CORPORATIONS DRY FOR PAYING DOWN THE CURRENT NATIONAL DEBT. GUESS WHAT????????? SCRAPING THE Barrel AND THEN WIPING IT WITH A PAPER TOWEL OF ALL LOOSE CASH WE COULD BARELY AFFORD TO PAY THE DEBT FOR TWELVE MONTHS--THAT'S ONE YEAR, FOLKS. After picking everyone's pockets down to the lint including your kid's or grandkid' allowance, there would be nothing left for the next year's debt!!!!!!!!!!! NADA! ZILCH! ZERO COIN!

SO WHAT TO DO????????? Well, it seems obvious that we have to roll back the hands of time!!!!!! I saw an article the other day that scientists AT Cornell had discovered a way to not only interfere with time but actually blot out events so completely that NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW THEY HAPPENED!!!!!! NOW THAT'S A HOT IDEA FOR THE ECONOMY!!!!!!! BLOT IT OUT AND A FEW POLITICIANS WITH IT SO WE NEVER KNOW DEBT HAPPENED!!!!!!! By the way the SCIENCE IS NO JOKE--only the usefulness of it.

WE NEED TO ELECT SOME MORE NEW CONGRESSMEN!!!!!!!! DON'T GROAN!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE KEPT THE OVER THE TOP SPENDING IN 2011 BY OBAMA AND HIS FINANCIAL GENIUSES TO A MINIMUM. If we can elect A MORE REPRESENTATIVE SENATE TO MATCH THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO SECURING AMERICA'S FUTURE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK. There is a great fiscal need for pull back on all SPENDING FRONTS AND IT CAN BE DONE with an educated and dedicated FISCAL POLICY!!!!!!!!! AND A CONGRESS--THAT IS IN BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE COMPRISED OF POLITICIANS WHO PUT PRIVATE INTEREST ASIDE TO SAVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

NOW DON'T BE WOOED BY THE PROGRESSIVES AMONG US CHANTING it's the Congress' fault and we need to do away with it. WOULDN'T OUR ENEMIES LOVE THAT??????? You may not like the obsfurcations of the Congress and their methods of DELAY BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF FISCAL REALITY AND THE CHECKS AND BALANCES SET OUT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

CONGRESS SHOULD BE LIKE THE MEDICINE WE HAVE TO TAKE TO GET WELL!!!!!!WE HATE THE TASTE, THE COST AND THE SIDE EFFECTS, BUT IT'S NECESSARY TO OUR GETTING WELL AND STAYING ALIVE!!!!!!!

DON'T LET ANYONE CON YOU INTO THINKING OUR COUNTRY WILL BE STRONGER WITHOUT A CONGRESS. IT WILL BE FAR WEAKER!!!!!!!!!! AND since the President controls the appointments to the Supreme Court, the people WOULD LOSE THEIR VOICE IN GOVERNMENT IN A VERY SHORT TIME!!!!!!!!!! CONGRESS-BASHING IS POPULAR BUT NOT NECESSARILY INTELLIGENT!!

Someone told me recently that we needed a parlimentary government like Britain. I wonder that we could have forgotten the ELITIST OR ROYAL MEMBERS YEAR AFTER YEAR SWORN INTO OFFICE for their advantage or the poverty and unfair criminal justice system the parliament protected that drove people like you and me to America's shores as Pilgrims.

LISTEN UP PILGRIM, unless you want to have to tread the boards of another land like they did, we need to keep OUR CONSITUTION IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. IT WAS WRITTEN TO PROVIDE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT STOP A DICTATORSHIP FROM FORMING AND IT'S BETTER THAN PARLIMENTARY GOVERNMENT BECAUSE CITIZENS ACTUALLY CAN MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE AT THE POLLS. Yes, we have a developed A GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM in both parties but it doesn't hold nearly the control of ENTRENCHED POLITICIANS THAT COME OUT OF THE PARLIMENTARY SYSTEM. LOOK UP THEIR TROUBLES OVER THE YEARS ON THE INTERNET. YOU'LL BE SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! THINK WE"VE GOT TROUBLE. THEY ALREADY HAVE COMMUNISM UP FRONT AND OBVIOUS.

SO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE--THE CONGRESS--VERY SERIOUSLY. JUST CHANGE THE BRAND TO A BETTER QUALITY. THINK ABOUT ELECTING TO ACHIEVE BALANCE in both the house and senate and choose men with vision, talent and an economic understanding of what they are doing!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT????????? LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. IF WE HAVE A STRONG AND REPRESENTATIVE CONGRESS THAT SATISFIES OUR NEEDS AND OUTLOOK, THEN THE PRESIDENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A "PRETTY FACE"!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S REALLY ALL OUR CONSITUTION EVER INTENDED. A PRESIDANT should be a PRETTY FACE and who cares what color it is AS LONG AS IT TALKS THE TALK, WALKS THE WALK AND UPHOLDS THE IDEALS OF AMERICA. WAKE UP FOLKS. THAT'S THE JOB!!!!!!!NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING LESS!!!!!!!!!! PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO ELECTING CONGRESSMEN!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
