Lee Iacocca from Chrysler on America the Corporation

LEE IS BACK  and he is packing!

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who  rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old  and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.

Lee Iacocca Says:  'Am I the only guy in  this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our  outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody  murder! We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer  our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters  stealing us blind, and we can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers  program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much less  build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and  nods their heads when the politicians say, 'trust me, the economy is  getting better..' Better? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not  the damned 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats  out, along with Obama!'

You might think  I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But  someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore..

The most famous business leaders are not the  innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Afghanistan  , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to  know what to do. And the liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of  asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my  parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How  about you?

I'll go a step further. You  can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm  ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates  on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in  times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk  theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a  battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes  tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001,  we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We  needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so  here's where we stand.

We're immersed  in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.. But  our soldiers are dying daily.

We're  running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it's getting  worse every day!
We've lost the  manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting  slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas  prices are going to skyrocket again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to  open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil  reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians  have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.

Our borders are like  sieves and they want to give all illegal's amnesty and free  healthcare.

The middle class is being  squeezed to death every day.
These are  times that cry out for leadership.

But  when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders  gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people  of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be  a sucker for alliteration,  but I think you get the point..

Name me  a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take  off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new  bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have  already happened.

Everyone's hunkering  down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them.  Now, that's just crazy.. Deal with life.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how  we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have  believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to  Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what  Obama did about it!

Name me a  government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The  silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our  country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn't  elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state.  What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will  call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for  a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not  trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire.  I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America .. In my  lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's  greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The  'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy  Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the  struggles of recent years since 9/11.

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care  about. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at  stake!

"Fathom the hypocrisy of a  government that  requires  every   citizen  to  prove  they are  insured...but not everyone  must  prove  they  are a citizen."

An America Lost The Demise of Demoracy

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the

University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the

Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always

temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent

form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until

the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous

gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority

always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from

the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally

collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a

dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the

beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200

years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage."

The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2012

It doesn't hurt to read this several times.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in

St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning

the last Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29

Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory

McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens

of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low

income tenements and living off various forms of government

welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the

"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of

democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population

already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million

criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say

goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Could 2012 be America's Last Presidential Election?

By Michael Savage

I've asked this question to a number of people and most of them respond as if I were crazy. They tell me that this is America, land of the free, and that there will always be elections. I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets
Re-elected in 2012 that this just may be America's last election.

In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion.

Popular radio talk show host (of the Savage Nation on the Talk Radio Network), Michael Savage, is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say - Europe. I don't believe it's going to be like Europe - I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship.

"This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line. Pay attention! Your freedom may be at stake!

Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people in an Iowa coffee house that "Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America."

[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That's his hero. What makes America great [in Obama's mind] is that the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else. No, that's what makes America, France.

"With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it! Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.

The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.

He's already changing the face of America's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.

Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and uses an executive order to accomplish it anyway. This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government.

He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro.

For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future.

General Electric Takes its Money and Jobs to China

Keeping in mind that GE OWNS NBC, CNBC AND MSNBC

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis. to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year,but paid no taxes ... the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States.

So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs. If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does. Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.

THIS IS WHATS REALLY GOING ON in GOVERNMENT!!
