Among other reasons NOT TO VOTE FOR MEG WHITMAN, her support for Van Jones. Please see this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSn37TMXZO8
Her support for Barbara Boxer should also be taken into consideration. We can't afford to have her as our Governor.
Things she also supports:
Taxpayer funded abortions.
Higher taxes to "spread the wealth" just like our President.
A couple of other things to consider that don't bode well.....
1. We still have Arnold the RINO in office..
2. Steve Poinzner may be the next best option...(which is sad in itself.)
3. "Let me take a puff" Gerry Brown is also running for Governor...
Really a sad state.....
More later....

ARIZONA, WE NEED YOUR LAW IN CALIFORNIA!!!
Thank you Arizona for Taking A Stand to SAVE AMERICA. All border states need to do the same thing to protect the border of the US. For years people have been blaming the Presidents who have failed to enact any border control. NOW, there is finally something in place to protest US citizens.
How is it that we forget so easily that in 2006 that the MEXICAN Army invaded the US???!!!
How is it that we forget so easily that an American was MURDERED only a short time ago IN THE US ON HIS OWN LAND BY ILLEGALS???!!
This is not about Mexicans, it is about the lack of security on the MECIXAN BORDER. It is documented that Al Qaeda has been scoping out the border to gain access. Luckily terrorists have been stopped AT THE CANADIAN BORDER!!! On the Mexican border, WE HAVE NO IDEA who has come through...
The Liberal Democrats don't have an answer when asked what SPECIFICALLY they would do to fix the border situation. They give the usual HEMM AND HAW about more LAWs that should be created.....They don't want to ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT ARE IN PLACE!

LETTER TO MARK LEVIN
In your little whiny voice,.... " I have been to Mexico and I have been to the beaches.... bla bla bla....- SHUT UP!"
In your wildest dreams, do you think ANY FACTS would come from the ILLEGALS who were there for the MURDER of an AMERICAN.....
You LIVE IN NEW YORK...!! You are too far away to understand what is going on here! Go spend your weekends in the Poconos and leave us the hell alone.....
ON THE OTHER HAND.......If YOU think it is OK for illegals to freely come into the country.(which apparently you DO), then PUT your TIGHTWAD Money where your MOUTH IS and invite them into your home.....(You see, we consider the US OUR HOME... you look at it as ..."It's their problem and not in my back yard..._-we actually take OWNERSHIP) - Move as many as you think can fit into your house,,,,then add twice that amount,,,, let them leave the lights on, eat from the pantry and fridge, use your car, take food out of your kids mouth and ask them to pay nothing...This is what is happening in the border states and they are going broke trying to cover the costs...... Hospitals in California have already had to close because they can't afford being over run by the illegals.. California is more than $42 BILLION in debt in large part due to having to feed, house and care for illegals.
Remember, there are LEGAL and ILLEGAL people in the country. ILLEGAL IS NOT A RACE!!!

LEVIN IS LOST!!
The senator from Michigan who is admittedly the dimmest light in the hallway, has brought on an attack on Goldman Sachs but has left the other Wall Street banks alone....... During the questioning of the banking representatives, it was clear the LEVIN IS LOST and HAS NO IDEA what is involved in the business of TRADING. For every trade, there has to be a Buyer and a Seller. When an ADULT BUYER/SELLER places a trade on the market, it is the responsibility of the Agent/Representative to back up that trade with a counter trade to balance the books. The Agent/Representative cannot just accept the trade and should the RISK that goes behind it. He has to MANAGE THE RISK, by backing it up with counter trades... This is his job... Obviously, Carl Levin just doesn't get it....He is going after this like it is a personal vendetta... Maybe it is....Maybe someone should look into the past to see of Mr Levin did, or did not receive funds from them for his campaigns...... there has to be something there.....he is only going after one company, when this is the practice of all of the firms on WALL STREET...There has to be something there..
-Chris DODD, the "Nobel Laureate" who is responsible for the housing crisis is also chiming in with his pound of ignorance. Or maybe not....I actually he understands what is going on against these firms but is exercising a power play. He is all about the power. He gave up working for the people long ago..
As this SHAM plays out, there is ONE thing that is CERTAIN,,,, These companies are NOT HELD TO BEING IN NEW YORK!!! If you thought you didn't like Wall Street when it is full of Bankers, imagine it vacant and full of vagrants if they LEAVE....

"ILLEGAL" IS NOT A RACE
Of course I applaud the Governor of Arizona's signing the most recent bill into law FINALLY allowing the country to protect itself from ILLEGAL infiltration....
NOTICE- Race was NOT mentioned in the last sentence. If you are truly American, then you will understand the need to protect our borders, from all invaders that are not here LEGALLY.
If you talk to anyone from other countries, they will tell you that all of their Migrant FARM workers enter the country LEGALLY, PAY TAXES and CONTRIBUTE to the SYSTEM!
The people who enter this country illegally do NONE of THESE!!
The only taxes they pay are those that are paid during the purchase of a regular products, however, they pay NO INCOME TAXES, are usually PAID in CASH and send more than $4,000,000,000.00 That's FOUR BILLION dollars out of the country by way of Western Union and other WIRE transfer services...
This is documented FACT.
If you think this blog comment is RACE based, you are not reading it. Think about it. If you were to go to another country to work, you would be registered into and out of that country, you would pay taxes in that country and you would be required to CONTRIBUTE!.
In the US right now, we have over 14 MILLION "undocumented" inhabitants from GOD only knows where???!!
If you think this blog is wrong, then I invite you to open your home to maybe 5 or 10 "undocumented" individuals, (from anywhere in the world that you like), let them eat your food, let them go to the Doctor, Dentist and Have Babies and YOU PICK UP THE TAB!! I know, it sounds easy at first...... Let this go on for Year after Year.......You are now housing their babies who need clothes, food, education....(They are not contributing to the bills, only taking....)
How long can you sustain this? How long can we, as a country sustain this...
As a country, we are reaching the end of our charitable line....

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER - BE CAREFUL HOW YOU VOTE!
...... Two Different Versions....
.............. Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building
his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a
fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.. Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long,
building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press
conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to
provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a
video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed
to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody
cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house
where the news stations film the group singing, "We
shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah
Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's
sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan,
Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten
rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on
the ant to make him pay his fair share..
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the
beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of
green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated
by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading
friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is
in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house,
crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned,
is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous
and once peaceful, neighborhood.

COWS, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.....
Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of politicians .... it creates a, hostile work environment.

IS SNOPES FAKE ?? - RUN BY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.!!! READ ON..
MAJOR FRAUD ALERT. PLEASE READ
For the past few years (http://www.snopescom/ has positioned
itself, or others have labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word' on
any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried
to find out who exactly was behindsnopes.com .
Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda makes you wonder what
they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband
and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and
researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation
that began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San
Fernando Valleyof California started the website about 13 years
ago and they have no formal background or experience in
investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity
believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple
of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did
they have a selfish motivation?
The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result of
snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain
questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong.
Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really
investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues.
A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in
Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and
made a big splash across the Internet, 'supposedly' the
Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting
their findings on snopes.com . In their statement they claimed
the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking
down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place.
I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me)
thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him
Bud Gregg'scontact phone numbers - and Bud was going to give him
phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who
would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never
called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg that no one from
snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm.
Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on
the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom
of things - not!
Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very Democratic
(party) and extremely liberal. As we all now know from this
presidential election, liberals have a purpose agenda to discredit
anything that appears to be conservative. There has been much
criticism lately over the Internet with people pointing out the
Mikkelson's liberalism revealing itself in their website findings.
Gee, what a shock?
So, I say this now to everyone who goes to snopes.com to get what
they think to be the bottom line fact 'proceed with caution.' Take
what it says at face value and nothing more. Use it only to lead
you to their references where you can link to and read the sources
for yourself. Plus, you can always Google a subject and do the
research yourself. It now seems apparent that's all the
Mikkelson's do. After all, I can personally vouch from my own
experience for their 'not' fully looking into things.
http://www.wikipedia.org/ or
http://www.snopes.com/
I have found this to be true also! Many videos of Obama I tried
to verify on Snopes and they said they were False. Then they gave
their liberal slant! I have suspected some problems with snopes
for some time now, but I have only caught them in half-truths. If
there is any subjectivity they do an immediate full left rudder.
Truth or Fiction, is a better source for verification, in my
opinion.
http://www.truthorfiction.com/
I have recently discovered that Snopes.com is owned by a flaming
liberal and this man is in the tank for Obama. There are many
things they have listed on their site as a hoax and yet you can go
to You tube yourself and find the video of Obama actually saying
these things. So you see, you cannot and should not trust
Snopes.com , ever for anything that remotely resembles truth! I
don't even trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes
anymore.
A few conservative speakers on Myspace told me about Snopes.com .
A few months ago and I took it upon myself to do a little research
to find out if it was true. Well, I found out for myself that it
is true. Anyway just FYI please don't use Snopes.com anymore for
fact checking and make your friends aware of their political
leanings as well. Many people still think Snopes.com is neutral
and they can be trusted as factual. We need to make sure everyone
is aware that that is a hoax in itself.
At the end of the day, you just can't be sure. Double check Snopes against all of your local and national
news agencies. No source is beyond reproach. Just look at the "TRUSTED" Dan Rather...

WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF UNIONS....?
WELL....I don't even know where to start...... but will begin with a reference to the VAT post I wrote yesterday....
First- Our entire economy in the US is based on a free market. Buy/produce LOW ,sell HIGH.OK FINE.
Second- Keep costs low, maintain a profit level that keeps stock holders happy, and sell low to compete.
------------------ time goes on, the local market becomes the WORLD..--------------
As time continues to tick away, unions, (started by Samuel Gompers many years ago, and at that time probably a good thing......) form to establish wage norms, benefits for employees etc.... US unions grow strong and weaken the ability of the business to be competitive... (Higher employee costs lessen the ability to sell against competitors in a given market where competitors don't have unions..)
Global market and stock owner pressures force employer to look for solutions to keep costs lower to be able to compete,,, (GLOBALLY).... These solutions come in the form of lower costs of raw materials from foreign countries...... and lower cost employees..... also from foreign countries.....
Unions in the US continue to negotiate the crap out of the companies in which they are embedded...costing more,,,,,, and more......
Union management are told that if they don't cut back on their costs, that companies will not be able to compete and have TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS......COSTING JOBS........
Union management continues to drive hard bargains and businesses start to close....
Trying to survive, companies continue to go overseas for materials and labor.....
Manufacturing in the US continues to DIE.....
With all the cost cutting that is supposed to be going on in DC right now,,, the only people making more ARE THE UNION WORKERS....RIGHT UP UNTIL THE COMPANY THEY ARE WORKING FOR ------------------------DIES.........
There is a claim the 23000 teachers in California have been let go..... Let's do some math.....
Monthly union dues at $65.00 per month times 23,000 = $1,495,000 per month.... or $17,940,000.00 MILLION PER YEAR..!! Of course this is negotiated as a pass through to the TAXPAYER....
I would rather have the money go directly to the teacher and retain the ability to FIRE bad teachers.. The unions protect all teachers.... I guess......Good and BAD.......
Good teachers make mistakes,,,,,, Bad teachers REPEAT THEM TIME AND AGAIN......Yes,, Unions save these too..... so they can continue to fail your Children.....
OK, OK,,, so I got off on a tangent.... I will follow this up later.......with more detail....
That is all for now...
But the bottom line is the UNIONS are ONLY GOOD FOR UNIONS,,,
The slowly kill a company's ability to compete. They protect underperforming employees. They cause a drag on economies. They do not create jobs other than those that featherbed more UNION JOBS..
First- Our entire economy in the US is based on a free market. Buy/produce LOW ,sell HIGH.OK FINE.
Second- Keep costs low, maintain a profit level that keeps stock holders happy, and sell low to compete.

I would rather have the money go directly to the teacher and retain the ability to FIRE bad teachers.. The unions protect all teachers.... I guess......Good and BAD.......
Good teachers make mistakes,,,,,, Bad teachers REPEAT THEM TIME AND AGAIN......Yes,, Unions save these too..... so they can continue to fail your Children.....
OK, OK,,, so I got off on a tangent.... I will follow this up later.......with more detail....
That is all for now...
But the bottom line is the UNIONS are ONLY GOOD FOR UNIONS,,,
The slowly kill a company's ability to compete. They protect underperforming employees. They cause a drag on economies. They do not create jobs other than those that featherbed more UNION JOBS..

VAT = VALUE ADDED TAX
For those of you who may not be aware of just exactly what a Value Added Tax (VAT) really is, I can explain...
The gubba-ment will add a tax on raw materials used in the manufacture of a product. You want to buy a new car, made with tons of metal (the raw material of the day).
Example: Carmaker A currently pays $80.00 per metric ton of metal. With the new 10% VAT from the gubbament, the cost of the raw material goes to $88.00 per metric ton.
You really don't see a huge change in this at first, but it starts to add up.
Then the Gubbament adds another 10% VAT to Rubber, so that additional cost comes in from the Tire Manufacturer....
Then the Gubbament adds another 10% VAT to Glass, Plastic, Vinyl etc... and so on, and so on...
You will NOT SEE the taxes listed or itemized on the invoice when you buy the car, but they are there.... much like the way TOO MANY of these taxes are built into GASOLINE right now...
See the WIKI link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax and scroll down to US....
"For the first quarter of 2009, the mean state gasoline tax is 27.2 cents per US gallon, plus 18.4 cents per US gallon federal tax making the total 45.6 cents per US gallon. For diesel, the mean state tax is 26.6 cents per US gallon plus an additional 24.4 cents per US gallon federal tax making the total 50.8 cents US per gallon. There are also a few states that charge sales tax on top of the excise taxes and the retail price."
MANY of THESE TAXES CANNOT BE EXPLAINED BY THE STATE REPRESENTATIVES!!!!

OBAMA Does NOT CARE ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE
Huge flooding ensues in the North EAST!! AS per the US Government Census report......
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/44000.html
The Rhode Island population is more than 88% WHITE. Could this be the reason that Obama flew right over The OCEAN STATE, whose motto is HOPE, to go to Maine to continue to sell the healthcare plan that had been voted on and passed a week earlier. All the while the FEMA director is in Orlando Florida, where the weather is not so "messy". Can you say double standard..... I think Michael Brown might...
Why is it necessary for this continued sales pitch??? Maybe it's because he knows you don't believe in either!!
Hello..... is this think on?

How is it that people this intelligent are one of the people representing the general population. Could the people of his district have been so dense as to be "FOOLED" by this APRIL STAR!!?
