Drafting Guys over 60.

 Im over 60 and the Armed Forces say I'm too old   to track down terrorists. (You can't be older than 35 to join the military.) 
They've got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year-olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35. 

For starters: 
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. 

Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy. 

Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. If we can't kill the enemy we'll complain them into submission. "My back hurts! I'm hungry! Where's the remote?" 

An 18-year-old hasn't had a legal beer yet and you shouldn't go to war until you're at least old enough to drink. The average old guy, on the other hand, has consumed 126,000 gallons of beer, and a jaunt through the desert heat with a beer and an M-60 would do wonders for the old beer belly. (Note there are 24 hours in a day and 24 bottles in a case...another convenient way to measure time!) 

An 18-year-old doesn't like to get up before 10 a.m. 
Old guys always get up early to pee. 
If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser. 

Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we like soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. 
We like them almost better than naps. 
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. I can hear the Drill Sgt now, "Get down and give me ... er ... one." 

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet. 
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to carry on a conversation, and to wear pants without the top of his butt crack showing and his shorts sticking out. He's hasn't figured out that a pierced tongue catches food particles, and that a 400-watt speaker in the back seat of a Honda can rupture an eardrum, and that a baseball cap has a brim to shade eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way. 

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten cowards who attacked us on September 11. The last thing an enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million old farts with attitudes. 

Share this with your senior friends.   It's purposely in big type so you can read it.

Good Ol' Frank Feldman

 JUST LIKE FRANK 
A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by.  He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank "

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time."  Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time"

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."

Cabbie: "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right."

Passenger "Wow, some guy then."

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake."

Passenger: "Mmm, there's not many like him around."

Cabbie: "And he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - he was the perfect man!  He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman "

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank "

Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"

Cabbie: "I married his f---ing widow."

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

1. COWS
2. THE CONSTITUTION
3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our
government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago,
right
to the stall where she sleeps 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 them all 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's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it
anymore.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments in a courthouse...You can't post "Thou Shall Not Steal,"
"Thou Shallot Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a
building full of lawyers, judges and politicians -- it creates a hostile
work environment.

Murphy's Lesser Laws

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

4. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

5. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

6. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

7. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time.... on a hill....on a curve...in the fog.

8. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

9. The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

11. A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries. 
12. The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

13. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

14. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. 

My Daddy the Dancer

My Daddy the Dancer

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for 

a living.

All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, 

salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the 

teacher prodded him about his father, he replied,

"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes 

in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the 

offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all 

night for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this 

statement, hurriedly set the other 

children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask 

him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," the boy said, "he works for the Democratic National Committee and is 

helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I was too 

embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

Free American House Info

SUBJECT: Want A Free House? (My Mom Sent Me This)

IF YOU DO NOT READ ANY THING ELSE BE SURE TO TAKE THE TIME TO READTHIS:

WANT A FREE HOUSE?

I was in my neighborhood restaurant this morning and was seated behinda group of jubilant individuals celebrating the coming implementationof the health care bill. I could not finish my breakfast. This is whatensued: They were a diverse group of several races and both sexes. Iheard a young man exclaim, "Isn't Obama like Jesus Christ? I mean,after all, he is healing the sick."

A young woman enthusiastically proclaimed, "Yeah, and he does it forfree. I cannot believe anyone would think that a free market wouldn'twork for health care."
Another said, "The stupid Republicans want us all to starve to deathso they can inherit all of the power. Obama should be made a Saint forwhat he did for those of us less fortunate."
At this, I had more than enough. I arose from my seat, mustering allthe restraint I could find, and approached their table. "Please excuseme; may I impose upon you for one moment?"

They smiled and welcomed me to the conversation. I stood at the end oftheir table, smiled as best I could and began an experiment.

"I would like to give one of you my house. It will cost you no moneyand I will pay all of the expenses and taxes for as long as you livethere. Anyone interested?"

They looked at each other in astonishment. "Why would you do somethinglike that?" asked a young man, "There isn't anything for free in thisworld." They began to laugh at me, as they did not realize this manhad just made my point.

"I am serious, I will give you my house for free, no money whatsoever.Anyone interested?"
In unison, a resounding "Yeah" fills the room.

"Since there are too many of you, I will have to make a choice as to who receives this money-free bargain."

I noticed an elderly couple was paying attention to the spectacleunfolding before their eyes, the old man shaking his head in apparent disgust.

"I tell you what; I will give it to the one of you most willing toobey my rules."

Again, they looked at one another, an expression of bewilderment ontheir faces.
The perky young woman asked, "What are the rules?"

New York State Troopers

THANK YOU TROOPERS!!!!!


BREAKING: Growing number of NY State Troopers in our area in Troop A are signing the "opt-out" form prohibiting their PBA union dues from being used for political purposes (PAC fund of PBA of NY State Troopers).

Approaching HALF of A Troop rank & file has either signed or committed to signing the "opt-out" form.

Also, over 90% of the WNY sector of T-Troop (Thruway: Ripley to Rochester) has signed or say they will sign the form.

Again: most rank and file troopers want the PBA to issue a statement opposing NY SAFE as unconstitutional and therefore as an illegal law.

So far, union big shots have refused to do so, and the union's own membership is running out of patience.

Perhaps a look at the PBA political contributions to Andrew Cuomo may offer some insight. $49,500 from 2006-2010.

Sources say rank and file opposition to union leadership's tone-deafness is spreading "like wildfire" throughout State Police barracks throughout NY State.

If our Drama Queen governor's own police force opposes the law, that will be HUGE.

A fence : A story with a great moral...

A fence : A story with a great moral...

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy's father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!

Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.

It wasn't long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn't lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn't wait to tell his father.

Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.

Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

"You have done very well, my son," he smiled, "but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same."

The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.

"When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there."

American Pigs

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.

One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.

The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground.

The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn.

When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

They get used to that and start to eat again.

You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.

The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.

You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.

They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.

Soon they go back to eating the free corn.

They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America.

The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:

1. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and

2. you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life,

then you will probably delete this email.

But, God help us all when the gate slams shut!

GOD BLESS AMERICA !

The Bronze Rat

A Tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco. While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the old shop owner and asked, "How much for the bronze rat?"

"Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat and $100 for the story," said the wise old China-man.

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story".

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.

A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward San Francisco Bay.

Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat and were all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

"Ahhh," said the owner, "You come back for story?"

"No sir," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze Democrat."

Presidential Pranks in Modern America

“You cannot get the water to clear up
until you get the pigs out of the creek.”;


*If any other of our presidents had doubled the

a state law that he admitted he never even read,
would you think that he is just an
ignorant hothead? *

country of  Mexico  and sued a state in
the United States to force that state
to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism
and wonder whose side he was on? *

the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse,
would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000
workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that have one of the
best safety records of any industry

*If any other of our presidents had used
a forged document
as the basis of the moratorium that would

installed to be able to get through
a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how inept

by smarter men
behind the scenes? *

hundreds of thousands of dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC,

current in their income taxes,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that
there were 57 states
in the United States , wouldn't you have
had second thoughts
about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have
flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the
Olympics would benefit him
walking out his front door in his home town,
would you not have thought he was a
self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been
so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo),
and continued to flub it when he tried again,
wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned
9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded
he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents'
administrations had okay-ed
Air Force One flying low over millions
of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they
actually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to
send relief aid  to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed
or made homeless than in New Orleans,
would you want it made
into a major ongoing political issue with
claims of racism and incompetence? *

Obama Gives Away Oil Rich Islands To Russia

Obama Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for $0.

We don't hear about this in the news. What is going on????

This is what our beloved president Obama has done in 2012 for America so far this year. This got very little press to keep it unknown from the American public. Why is he getting away with all of this?

Is there a "REST OF THE STORY"?

This Feb. 16, 2012 article appears in very few places. Apparently, mainstream media consider Obama giving away islands belonging to Alaska as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, $0 money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by........? Why?

WorldNetDaily.com <http://worldnetdaily.com//>;. Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care.

The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.

Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.

In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.

Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it. Also see Link 1,2 below

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."

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.

12. 21.12 The End In the Making

This is from a person in Fresno, CA .
This is happening all over the US .

THIS IS SOMETHING EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW.

We now live about 30 miles from Fresno . We are up in the Sierras and Fresno is the first big town we encounter when we leave the mountains.

We shop there often. I received this from my ex-homicide partner who is still active in law enforcement circles in the Fresno area.

Excuse the language, but don't excuse the facts. Don't give up your guns, and buy necessary ammunition if you can find it. Be cautious and alert.

Be ready if, God forbid, we need to protect our families and loved ones.

At our Rotary meeting on Friday, we had the only decent speaker we've had in more than a year. LTC John Cotter is the 144th Fighter Wing's anti terrorism officer. John had a two-part presentation. First part was describing his job as the unit’s anti-terrorism officer. Pretty standard stuff.

A part-time air guardsman works as a checker at local Von's. Two women in full burkas buy every pre-paid cell phone in the store. Clerk/airman gets to thinking about it.

Goes to Cotter and reports incident. Cotter asks store for surveillance video. It's scary enough that he contacts Fresno FBI.

FBI investigates and determines these women have been doing this all over the Valley. Cell phones shipped through Canada to Iraq/Afghanistan where they become triggers for roadside bombs.

The Shell station at Peach and Shaw. Every time a local GI goes there in fatigues they are asked specific questions. What is your unit? When are you deploying? How many aircraft are you taking?

The F-16s out of Fresno fly CAP for west coast. As such they are the first line of defense so they have the US 's most sophisticated air-to-air missiles. Foreign governments would like to get their hands on those missiles or at least learn how to build them. Also how many we have, etc. Two spy groups are working on it, one based at Fashion Fair Mall (the F-16s take-off pattern) and one based at Sierra Vista Mall (the F-16s landing pattern).

Cotter said the ragheads (but we don't profile) are always probing the base. Two dorks in a pickup show up at the front gate wanting to deliver a package marked Air National Guard, Fresno .. No postage, no UPS, no FedEx, no DHL, no nothing. Just a probe.

I asked Cotter why we haven't seen anything about this in The Bee, on KMJ, on local TV news. He said they're not interested. Since Friday I've learned of two other things. My brother-in-law, Frank, (management at Avaya) had a Muslim tech who took a leave-of-absence for 6 weeks in Afghanistan . After the 6 weeks were up he called from New York requesting an extension. Frank (who
does profile) said, you're fired, and called the Fresno FBI who were very interested. Don't know the outcome. A Muslim who owns a liquor store in my former hometown of Kingsburg was constantly bugging customers to buy guns for him. Finally one of the guys I grew up with called the FBI.

We are a country at war and the enemy is among us. I don't care what Janet Napolitano says, it's a fight to the death and we should be as prepared as possible. Brother-in-law Frank has a theory and I think it may be closer to the truth than Homeland Security wants to admit. See note below in red There are a certain number (probably a large number) of Muslims among us who are awaiting the trigger date and will begin randomly killing as many of us as they can, sort of a Fort Hood on steroids. I know I'm getting prepared to shoot back.

Two items of interest: Sheriff Margaret Mims wants to grant concealed carry permits to all who are qualified. Columnist Jim Boren, among the most bleeding of the bleeding heart liberals, says it's time for Fresno residents to arm themselves. LOAD up, you can bet this is happening in places other than Fresno .. David Rayburn

I was asked to send this to everyone in my address book. Some of those I'm sending it to WILL NOT forward it! To those I say, Get your head out of the sand and look around with an open mind or before you know it we will no longer be living in the land of the free and the brave!" We are under attack from a hidden enemy that is everywhere. They are a cancer that WILL attack us and KILL as many as they can to further the Islamic doctrine of Shiria law. They
behead, cut off limbs, stone people to death and worse. Beware, there IS a holy war coming. The signs are everywhere if you care to look and listen.
What do we expect from Homeland Security not wanting to admit anything since they are being run by devout Muslims in charge of Homeland Security Posts.

Well, boys and girls, today the fox is guarding the hen house. The wolves will be herding the sheep!

Obama appointed two devout Muslims to homeland security posts.

Obama and Janet Napolitano appointed Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a 'devout Catholic," a "devout Jew" or a "devout
Protestant"...? Just wondering.

Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already?? That should make our home land much safer, huh!? Now here is your president at his best, and you want him for another 4 years?? INSANE!!!!!!

Wasn't it "devout Muslim men" who flew planes into U.S. buildings 9 1/2 years ago? Wasn't it a "devout Muslim man" who killed 13 at Fort Hood ?

Please forward this important information to anyone who cares about the future of our Country.
