Our Founding Fathers spoke "wise and serious truths", Here is a few wise words that may surprise you.

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring 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 men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

Abraham Lincoln

Reflecting on not only President Lincoln's quote alone... Likewise, other Founding Fathers have said many great things as well. Its amazing American history and politics pretty much come full circle.

We were told long before the polls ever open that our votes would not count, so I along with a lot of other voters didn't even waste the time.

I don't even understand why Florida held the Demarcated part of the election when they were told it would not count. 

So why would it be fair to count those votes?? 

There should be another election to be fair to the voters of Florida.

It seems like for some reason or other 'Florida' has has problems with our votes in the major elections in the past decade or so.

Don't we have the right to have our votes counted?

We're talking Bill Ayers here. In Obama's words, "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood." Right. A guy who lives in his neighborhood and who likes to stomp on the American flag. There's a picture going around the Internet showing Ayers standing on an American flag. This was at the same time Ayers and Obama were serving together on some foundation board, and while Ayers was helping Obama with his state senate campaign. Help like that I wouldn't need.

 At the gas pumps in this morning, I stare at the swiftly spinning dials, and the cycle of anger begins. Oil Robber Barons strike at the pumps again. I check out at the grocery store, Oil Robber Barons impact the food I eat. I come home and watch the nightly news, Oil Robber Barons, Oil Robber Barons, something about Hilary and Obama, Oil Robber Barons.

It is true that we are a capitalistic society, and our country enjoys the luxury of a free market, but when our economy is driven by Oil Robber Barons, where is the line between a free market society and out of control greed?

The countries that regulate thier oil sales, have a stronger dollar then the U.S. (They are financially stronger than the United States.) Why, because they know their economy is based off the cost of fuel. Do we need the same regulations to protect our country, or do we allow Oil Robber Barons to drive down America until we are a weak, over inflated, hollow country, dependant on the generosity of other nations? 

I about fell off the couch when I heard that on the 5:30  PM, 5-6-08, segment.   Any of you who have been here  all your lifes, or at least since the mid 70's know the state is already split.... Florida and North Cuba.  Heck!  When I moved to Miami Beach in the early 60's it could have been called "South Brooklyn" or "West Israel".  ;-)

The early Cuban arrivals wanted to be Americans.  Then the arrivals in the 70's pretty much succeeded in taking over.  The early arrivals wanted nothing to do with the latest arrivals.  They are the ones who coined the phrase "North Cuba".  I remember the bumper stickers saying something like "Going to Miami?  Take your passport!"

I went to my 20th High School Reunion in 1987... went shopping at my old favorite spots... no one spoke english.  Went to where I used to work and went up to a sales person.  She pretended to not be able to speak English.  I reminder her who I was!  I then reported her to our old boss!  A few years later I went back for my hubby's 25th... it was worse!

Okay.  Split the state... but do not make South Florida the 51st state... cede it to Cuba or South America!  During the last reunion visit, most of the hotels were owned by South Americans!  Went back after Hurricane Charli for a HazMat conference.   Nothing had changed!

 

 

Recently there are many articles appearing in our local papers and on TV and it has become evident that in the quest for votes the candidates and some other elected officials AKA "Politicians" have decided that its OK to pander to the populace offering "Fuel Tax Holidays" or suspensions of the state and federal gas taxes. This so called "help" to the masses is nothing more than cheap politics at the least and ill-thought at at the worst. These type of efforts have been tried in the past and will save you nothing. At best the savings per week will be in the single digit dollars. As soon as the taxes are lifted, "unforseen" market forces will occur that will cause the retail price of the fuels to magically rise to fill the gap the tax relief created (AKA  profiteering) and THEN when the tax is reapplied we will be paying more for fuel than we did  before the taxes were removed. Never mind that the fuel taxes are one of the major sources of funding for road projects, repair and improvement. 

I do not have a crystal ball, and do not claim to have all the answers in this ever expanding fuel crisis. Smart thinking would hopefully lend a thinking person to surmise a few standard issues.

1. Conservation and changing of our fuel usage habits is a must. 

2. Research, exploration and extracting the vast underground fuel resources of the USA is paramount. We must produce more fuels in our homeland to reduce dependance on foreign sources.

3. We must preserve our environment and be as careful as possible not to pollute and destroy it while extracting these vast resources, IE the Gulf of Mexico, FL Straits, and yes ANWR. The hands off approach is not working and tapping into our strategic oil reserves is a mistake. They are designated "STRATEGIC OIL RESERVES" for a reason.

4. Give Big Oil a reason to produce more domestic fuels and delve into exploration and extraction of resources and building refineries. They are not motivated at this point in history to do these things as long as the obscene profits continue to roll in at the expense of the American consumer and household.

5. Come to the realization that OPEC is not our friend. They know that their end is in sight and are extracting as much profit as they can before that defining moment when we break free, and we will break free of fossil fuels. They have few other exports and most cant even grow enough food to feed their populace. We need to stop kowtowing to these tyrants and let them eat their oil.

6 Corn is not the answer. Its use as fuel simply drives up the cost of everything else.

All this to simply say, WAKE UP AMERICA! Take control of the situation. Our politicians and elected officials are not listening to us. The very people who put them there. If we speak with our wallet as consumers, business will listen as the almighty dollar and their bottom line is all they understand. I realize that we have to have fuel to get to work and other necessary places. That said, if our fuel consumption is drastically reduced, and our spending controlled, as fuel producers feel the same pinch that you are feeling and business realizes that the customer is a necessity and not a pain for their existence, the change you seek may begin to peek in as fuel backs up at depos. We cannot continue to send our jobs out of the counrtry, and hiring cheap and sometimes illegal labor. We are reaping the consequences of some of that now.

I Would like to know what you people think about oboma as president? 

Can we start a petition to get a "revoketion" (sic) of the amendment?  We should.  Many early voters voted "for" without the full knowledge of what would happen and regret voting "for" and then finding out they weren't going to save that much.... my boss is one of those and now rues his vote. 

I loved tonight's (Friday... since the new moderation rules went into effect and I have no idea when this will be posted....) blip about the ineffectiveness of the past legislative period... time spent on trivial things like the bulls parts, Rhonda's personal agendas, the state song, etc. 

I work for the county.  They are cutting back on a lot of things... like raises.... but not on expenses for employees such as parking in the county parking lots. 

As I said, can we put a "revoketion" on the ballot?  If anyone knows how, please spread the word.

 

Karl Rove has been a frequent analyst lately on Fox News. Of course, the liberals will have you believe that Rove is a cross between the devil himself and Adolph Hitler. But you know what? He speaks very well, succinctly, and articulately - and he seems like a nice guy to boot.

I'd vote for him if he was running.

Ok.....A lot has been said about how Rev Wright has hurt Barack Obama's campaign for the Democratic nomination but there is something fishy about his latest comments and Obam's reply.

Let's analize this a bit.

When the poo hit the fan about Rev Wright's comments from the pulpit, barack Obama seemed to blow it off like it was no big deal. The comments have actually taken their toll on the campaign. So now Obama has a problem. Does he now come out and condem the comments from the first blow up and look like a hypocrite or does he keep ignoring them and hope Rev Wright goes away?

This is the fishy part so pay attention!

Obama needed Wright to say something else stupid so he will have a fresh reason to denounce him and not look like a hypocrite over the 1st round of Wright comments!

How lucky for him that Wright spoke at of all places but the "National Press Club"! He made a complete fool of himself and gave Obama a new reason to "Officially denounce him." Any idiot can see that Barack and Wright set this opportunity up from the start! Rev Wright is taking the fall for his buddy by keeping his big mouth flapping! The part of all the comments at the press club that smell the worst are these.

Rev Wright was asked by the moderator:

"Are you disappointed that Senator Obama has chosen to walk away from you?"

His answer was this:

"Whoever wrote that question doesn't read or watch the news. He did not denounce me. "

Like a T-ball player up to bat, Obama now replies:

"I catigorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to devide us from our allies."

That was too easy a set up! Rev Wright isn't that stupid is he? Is he so stupid as to go off in front of the National Press Club? I think not! Obama and Wright surely planned these comments at the Press Club and the replies to follow. It was Obama's last chance to officially shake off the damage Wright has caused. You watch, now that Obama has "denounced" him, Wright will shut up and you wont hear from him until after the convention or November if Obama gets that far! One way or the other, they'll make up and hold hands again but it will be a while! 

I'm not falling for the song and dance these two are doing. I just hope the American public see's through this attempt to deflect and misdirect the heat of the past few weeks!

 

If you agree, please copy and paste and send this letter on to your senators!  Let's bombard them letting them know that you do not agree with the way things are going!

I want to hear your thoughts Tampa Bay!

Thanks for reading and as always, thanks for the blog!

Dear Senator [recipient name inserted here],

In the past, to become an American Citizen, you had to learn English as
well as speak it.  Now, we as Americans, must either put up with or learn
a foreign language in order to survive.  Yes, I said survive!  Why have we
as a country, continued to put up with this?

Please co-sponsor Sen. Dole's bill, S. 2719, to repeal the multilingual
mandate called Exec. Order 13166.

It is estimated that having this bill cost US, the people of this great
country, millions, if not billions of dollars a year.  Why have we stopped
requiring this for immigrants to live/become citizens of this country?

Forcing federal fund recipients to provide services in foreign languages
eliminates incentives for immigrants to learn English.

Why are we funding immigrants who are NOT citizens?  Why aren't they
required to speak/learn our language to become eligible for ANY funding?
Why are they collecting Social Security,  having NEVER contributed?  We as
Americans want to know!  We have an investment in our country!

The American people never voted to transform their country into a
multilingual 'Tower of Babel.'

Please work to keep our nation united by language by working to pass S.
2719.

Sincerely,

You can get your Senator's contact information by clicking HERE.

Thanks!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here.

"Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt --1907

Every American citizen needs to be taught this, and to know this, and to insist that it is restored as Official Policy!  Curses on those who would allow an enemy to be called a Citizen!  Honor the Memory of one of our truly great Presidents.

No Citizen should be forced to forget their roots, or the language of their birth.   At the same time, absolutely no Citizen should be disloyal to this Nation.

It has come to nationwide attention that the ACLU has decided to start a lawsuit to stop Florida's plans to introduce a new cross design onto its custom designed license plates. Like many states which offer a variety of choices for themed license plates, Florida has chosen to offer its motorists a Cross on some of the choices for its plates. However, the ACLU has decided to step in, and sue the state of Florida to prevent this plate from ever being available to the motorists, stating that it violates the separation of church and state. Proponents for this plate say that it is merely offering more choices for motorists, and that Florida is not endorsing any religion as an official religion of the State.

Where do you Tampa Bay Florida residents stand on this issue?

Any bitterness which resides in my psyche is a proximate result of the Legislative Branch of our Government having been conquered by the dark Fraternity of Juris Doctors and their arrogant exclusivity.

Just 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 76% disapprove, according to the August 13-16, 2007, Gallup Poll; and 32% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing as president.

I must assure you, the current administration is held in much higher esteem, despite its foibles (that I have admitidly been displeased with), than Congress.

Nothing, my friends, that Mr. (Senator) Obama says goes over my head. The man is just not that sharp. As a matter of fact, he is not even as smart as George W. Bush! (Who, by the way, is not what the True Dummies have labeled him.)

It is known fact, and declared by several Journalists who happen to be "black," that the man (Obama) is embroiled in what appears to be a lifelong struggle with his personal demons, which are manifested in what is best described as an identity crisis. His disdain for “white” people, which is focused upon the abandonment by his “black” father, and subsequent rearing by his “white” mother and grandparents, is a hole in his soul which he has tried to fill through various associations with radical “black” folk.  His defference to "white" people is, to be succinct, a strategic tactic.

The only "race" on the face of this Earth is the Human Race, but the man does not truely acknowledge the fact.

On to the subject of religion:

In general, religion is a devising by mankind, wherein we reach for the Creator while keeping Him at a safe distance. Just as the Israelites told Moses, . . . Then they said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die."

In such cases, there are always men (and women) ready to rush in to have power and control over those who are uncertain and timid.  They are referred to as Nicolaitanes, in the Revelation of the Apocalypse.

I own my Faith!! I will listen to the teachings of another man, but I will always filter his teaching and interpretations through the Word of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD. My “religion” is a personal relationship with The King of the Universe, through His Chosen One, Y'shua. Any other religion is as useless as the teats on a boar hog.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And now, on the subject of GUNS!

Amendment II . . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Just as in the days of the Revolution, Americans today face the constant threat of “unfriendlies” entering their homes. The “unfriendlies” I refer to are most frequently of the criminal element. But, we have seen in the examples of the massacre at Ruby Ridge and the invasion of the Branch Davidian Cult, that criminality is not always reserved for “the common Citizen.”

There was indeed criminal activity being pursued in both camps. And the leaders of both camps were in need of being brought to Justice. But, when Federal Agents shot Randy Weaver's son, Samuel, in the back, and a Federal Sniper killed Vicki Weaver, as she held her nursing baby daughter in her arms, a line was crossed.

The same goes for facts surrounding the raid on the Waco, Texas compound of David Koresh. Agents could have taken Koresh without incident, at any time they pleased, and without incident. Koresh was in town almost every day. But, Janet Reno was motivated by her desire to test America's gullibility regarding the difference between religion and cults. Unfortunately, then, most did not see through her subterfuge because of their ignorance of true religion, and took the bait. Like the Plains Indians of Lore, they took the Government at its word.

I didn't write this but thaought it was an Interesting Essay


After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.  I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words 'money' and 'special interests' come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend 'God Damn America' Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your 'spiritual mentor'.

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a 'discouraging word' in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades.

Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there ! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallys and never once heard the 'N' word. Yep. And Bill Clinton 'did not inhale'.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you. I am deeply sorry, that in a county teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Now, did I mention Bill Clinton ?

AH YES ! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to call herself. This 'feminist' piece of work of course would like to be referred to as MS. and we all know who wears the pant suit in that family.

MS. Clinton, (sugar), it is just as depressing to realize that there are dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But, fortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU.  Ms. Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we waterboarded your worthless ass !

Still you play the role of the 'embarrassed but dignified noble wife'. What utter malarky ! I am not voting for you for a world of reasons, but the main one is the same as my not voting for Senator Obama. You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote, but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around and then ask me to believe that you also did not know about Paula Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your lecherous excuse for a husband. Puleese turn off this broken record !!!

But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant pecadillos. The real reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his dick in his pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he lied about it and the pathetically-attempted cover-up that followed.

Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out Osama Bin Laden over 3,000 dead Americans ago !

And please stop telling me that you have '8 years of experience' to lead us. You were the freakin' first lady already, not the Commander in Chief. Jeez ! The sum of your 'experience' is that of the most worrisome and incompetent meddling in the history of the White House. You even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were and still are unfortunately charged with risking their lives to protect your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people who have to work for a living.

Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs, alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible freeloaders in America and to then 'garnish the wages' (your own words) of every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster you refer to as 'Universal Health Care'. Where have you been the last 30 years ? Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has been tried ? Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of their own labors to pay for those who will not ??

It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media refuses to admit IS a 'super delegate' in your own political machine, a fine example of your own 'adopted' state of New York. No wonder you moved there to run for Senator ! The environment there is perfect for the likes of you !

Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU !

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabres at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these 'world leaders' to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other BLEEPs in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are pissed at him and the conservatives are pissed at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a JEW whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally pissed off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America.  When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was 'nothing special'. Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the 'average American', and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot for on election day for John McCain -- warts and all.

God Bless America,

I posted some of Hillary so I thought In all fairness, the others should be posted as well

An absolutely incredible exchange during the debate on Wednesday night. This is the type of question that so infuriates left wingers. First Obama was reminded that when capital gains taxes are cut revenues to the government go up. Then he was reminded that when capital gains taxes are increased, tax revenues go down. Then he was asked in light of these statistics why he was promoting an increase in capital gains taxes. His answer? He said that he capital gains taxes should go up out of fairness.

There you have it folks. Barack Obama believes that taxes serve purposes other than raising revenue for the legitimate operations of government. He also thinks that taxes should be used to make things more "fair." In other words .. to take from the people who are making too much money and give to the people who are making too little. Or, as some of Barack's communist heroes might say, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Are you ready for a United States where politicians determine how much of the money you earn it would be fair for you to keep, and how much should just be taken and given to someone else?

If you are ... then Obama is your man!
