New Privacy Policy...

...there is none.

This is from the transcript of a radio show I listen to. It is so true it is scary. We're not talking politics anymore, it's down to civil rights...or the lack thereof.

"By the way, for those of you at AIG, those of you who are now facing a 90% tax rate on your bonuses, which the Obama administration insisted be in the stimulus bill, those at AIG who are facing a 90% tax rate on your bonuses and your names and salaries being made public, I really hope you all voted for Democrats. I hope you all voted for Obama, and I hope you've now learned the Democrat privacy policy."..."We cannot invade the privacy of noncitizen terrorists who are calling from overseas, plotting terror attacks in this country. We cannot invade their privacy.

In fact, we may conduct hearings, war crimes trial hearings on the Bush administration for that very act of violation of privacy rights of terrorist overseas. But we can invade the privacy of legal citizens who receive bonuses that were authorized and contractually obligated by the Obama administration, the very administration that insisted you get the bonuses can now go (blowing a raspberry) on your privacy. Here's the Democrat immigration policy. It's un-American for federal agents to enforce our laws. It is patriotic to come here and stay illegally, and we want you illegals to join labor unions. That's patriotism. You are the backbone of America. Here's the Democrat mortgage policy: we're going to get you a mortgage you have no business getting, we're gonna get you a loan that you can't pay back, that we know that you can't pay back, and then when you fail to pay it back, we're going to force those who pay their mortgages on time to pay your mortgage, too. A very quick lesson here on Democrat privacy policy, immigration policy, and mortgage policy."

On The March

The new legislation called " The Employee Free Choice Act" is everything but free choice. It gives unions power to force people to vote the way they want because "we know who you are and how to get to you now". Call your senators and representative and let them know you want this legislation stopped. Socialism is on the march and it needs to be stopped.

Here is a fantastic synopsis from The Heritage Foundation of the bill with its major points that you will never see in the "main stream" media:


Big Labor's Wish List

Organized labor's highest legislative priority, the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), is harmful to both American workers and businesses. The bill has two key components:

1) Eliminates Secret Ballot for “Card Check”

The bill replaces secret ballot union organizing elections with "card check," a process where union organizers publicly solicit workers' signed union authorization cards. If a majority of a company's workers sign cards, they all automatically join the union, without an election. Union activists privately acknowledge that workers often sign union cards because of peer pressure or harassment and that publicly signed cards do not reflect workers' true intentions. That is why unions argue against letting workers use card check to leave a union. Policymakers should understand that union activists know that card check does not reveal employees' free choice, and instead can lead to harassment and intimidation.

2) Establishes Government Imposed Contracts

EFCA also empowers the federal government to impose contracts on newly organized companies. Section 3 of the bill gives government bureaucrats the power to set compensation and make most major business decisions at newly unionized companies. The bureaucrats that would be writing these proposals have no expertise in the company's operations or business model and would be unaccountable if their decisions drove the company into bankruptcy. Workers would lose all say over working conditions.

Under EFCA government bureaucrats would dictate:

• Wages and bonuses
• Employment levels
• Retirement and health care plans
• Changes in business operations
• Promotions procedures
• Work assignments
• Subcontracting
• Closure, sale, or merger of a business

EFCA would effectively create government-run workplaces, and this provision would apply to small businesses too. Because EFCA has no meaningful small business exemption, it would authorize federal control of up to four million small businesses employing 39 million Americans.

EFCA does more than take away workers rights to vote in privacy. It also gives control of the workplace to government bureaucrats with no management experience.

God Bless America...Please!

First, congrats to the Democrat party for successfully perpetrating the greatest con on the American people in the history of this nation. They ran the most liberal member of the Senate as a semi-conservative and fooled a large majority of uninformed people. Good job.

At the same time, liberal Dems in congress caused the greatest economic crisis in the banking history right before an election, not a small feat to accomplish and a very good October surprise, while receiving great amounts of cash illegally from the government run institutions that aided them.

The media did their job of covering up everything that may expose the Obama's extremist views. Of course, the Republican party also did their part by nominating a "moderate" candidate who has turned his back on his party several times in the past, too many times for many of the Republican base to stomach.

So now we have elected the most left-wing, literally socialist, government in the history of our nation while they pretended to be somewhat conservative. I think one radio host called it well when he said if Obama is elected, most of the people who voted for him will wake up a year from now and say "What the hell? This isn't what I voted for".

The irony of the whole thing is the young, economically ignorant, voters who have apparently given him the win will be affected the most by the onslaught of left-wing policies that are to come. Just out of college with no experience will not be a good place for them in an economy that, if (and I believe when) Obama holds to his true beliefs and previous voting record, will have an unemployment rate that will most likely hit double digits.

While there is always hope that Obama will actually stick to his promises, I do not count on it. The left-wing congress has already planned to have a special session to reinstate the ban on drilling in the Gulf, raise taxes, spend like drunken sailors and insitute socialist health care so they can present these bills to Obama the minute he is sworn in. He will sign most, if not all, of these bills so get ready.

We are about to get a hard and very expensive lesson in socialism. I just hope this great country is able to come back from it. For the first time in my life I actually fear my government. I fear it because it is now run by people who have said in the past they do not like America, the individual or the freedom we hold dear. I fear it because we will have a President who will be lying when he takes an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, a document which he cannot uphold since he has stated he believes it is flawed. I fear it because we now have a government that does not seek to raise people up, but instead vows to tear achievers down.

In the past it has only been a difference in who will be leading the government of the United States. This election had one candidate who will fundamentally change the structure of the United States government to take over more of our economy than we have ever seen or even thought would be possible. This candidate won and he will bring change, but it will be a change that will shake the foundation of this nation to its' core. I just hope and pray America can withstand what is coming.

Though I am afraid we will see a great deal of our freedom taken from us over the next few years, my greatest fear is for those who place all of their faith in this world. I could not imagine having to weather the coming socialist storm without my faith in God to guide me. No matter what happens, my family will be okay through all of this. But those who have no faith to lean on will be the ones we read about in the paper who just could not handle the financial stress anymore. Thankfully hard times bring a lot of people to the church so my prayer is the lost can find the true Savior through these difficult financial times.

Don't put your faith in the temporary things of this world. Put your faith in a great God who gave His Son for you and will always be there for you no matter the circumstances. We need Him to be the leader of our lives and our nation so God Bless America...Please!

Obamanation

With all of the commercials coming out of the Obama campaign saying things that are 180° out of phase with what he has done or voted on in the past, you need to know what you can really expect from an Obama presidency. All of his proposals have been tried before so we do have history that shows exactly what happens. Here we go:

1. The first thing you can expect is no tax cuts for anyone. I know he has said "I will give tax breaks to the middle class", but it doesn't match his actions in the past and his claims are quite frankly impossible. Obama has never voted for a tax cut while in the state senate of Illinois or while in the U.S. Senate. He is a liberal Democrat and they do not believe in tax cuts. Also, his claim is that "95% of working families will get a tax cut". That is impossible since nearly 40% of "working households" pay no federal taxes to begin with. What will happen is he will pull a Bill Clinton and say "I worked really hard to give you a tax cut but it's just not possible."
   
   
2. You can expect a tax increase for everyone who is a federal tax payer. In 2010 the tax cuts enacted in 2003 expire. Those were the largest tax cuts in history so when they expire they will be the largest tax increases in history. This will stick a bayonet through the heart of the economy and job growth
   
   
3. Gasoline will go back up to $4+ per gallon. He has voted against drilling in ANWR and also against opening the Gulf of Mexico for more drilling. The ban on drilling in the Gulf that just expired will be reinacted by a Democrat controlled congress and he will sign the bill. The expiration of that ban happened the exact same time the price of oil started dropping 50% so you can expect it to go right back up and even higher since OPEC has no fear of the U.S. drilling for our own oil. It's all supply and demand.
   
   
4. Prices for everything will rise & there will be long lines for gasoline. His plan to try and force us to "alternative fuels" is radical. He plans to hit oil companies with "windfall profits" taxes for their "insane profit margin" of a whopping 8%. (I bet you didn't know that one since all they ever give you is the dollar figure. 8% is not a great profit margin.) Couple this with his the price controls that have been proposed and we're in big trouble. The Carter administration did the same exact thing and the oil companies answered by dropping production through the floor. Businesses are in business to make a profit so if you tax the poop out of them and tell them they cannot make a profit, they will just not make the product. Oil companies are not a charity and not a cash cow for government. This will result in even higher prices up to the limit imposed and then they will drop production. We'll have long lines and rationing just like we did in the '70s. Look it up if you don't believe me.
   
   
5. Radio and TV will be censored. They call it the "fairness doctrine" but there is nothing fair about it at all. This was implemented once in the '70s too and its' sole purpose is to shut down any opposition to liberal Democrat policies. The main stream media has been 100% in the bag for the liberals and for Obama for years and they are not even hiding it this election. The only place you can get the opposing view is on talk radio or the internet so they want to shut it down. The "fairness doctrine" makes it impossible for a station manager to deal with all of the complaints filed against them under this doctrine. The station starts to lose money so they shut the format down and go to music so they don't have to deal with the doctrine, just like they did in the '70s. Of course, the "news" outlets are not covered by this so they can continue to tow the liberal line and shut down the opposition, just like the Soviet Union did.
   
   
6. We will get socialized medicine. Ted Kennedy has already begun writing the bill from his sick bed. It has been his dream to give us socialized medicine just like Canada and Great Britain. It will be proposed and passed "in honor of Kennedy" since he is ill and Obama will sign it. There will be a complete takeover of our healthcare system by the government, the same guys we complain about at the post office, DMV, etc. So you can expect the same as Canada and Great Britain where they ration health care based on whether the government thinks you are worthy or not. Then you get to wait in line for months for life-saving urgent care like cancer treatment, dialisys, etc.
   
   
7. Unions will be given free reign to intimidate employees to vote the way they want. This comes from the "Employee Free Choice Act". This act allows unions to come in and organize any company and keeps the company from being able to defend itself. It also gets rid of the secret ballot so employee votes are seen by union heads. The heads (thugs) know how you vote and they let you know it so if you vote against them you will be harrassed by the union bosses. Ask any union member who has spoken out against the union or dared to withdraw from it if you don't think harrassment really happens.
   
   
8. Your 401K will become the property of the U.S. government. A proposal has been put forth to take your 401K and put it into social security. It removes the pre-tax contributions and puts your money into a system that is nearly bankrupt. They want to take your money to give it to someone else because they have stolen from social security for years and now baby boomers are retiring and withdrawing so they are in trouble. By the time you retire you can say goodby to your hard earned money. The stock market is a temoporary drop that will come back. Always has and always will as long as the government stays out of it.
   
   
9. We will be attacked within his first year in office. Joe Biden has already said they will be tested. This test will come because our enemies know Obama is an appeaser so he will not defend our nation. Since Islam declared war on the west they have tested every president starting with Carter. They find the ones who are weak and they keep hitting us over and over. It happened during the Clinton years with several attacks on us plus the planning of the 9/11 attack during his administration. Bush fought back so we have not had another attack since 9/11 but we will be at their mercy since Obama will weaken our defenses by cutting their budgets to the bone...just like Carter did.
   
   
10. We will not leave Iraq. Though I personally think this is a good thing, Obama's extreme base will not like it. He will get in office and say "we weren't told everything so we can't pull our troops out". The left is more than willing to make the U.S. lose a war when a Republican is in office for political power, but they will not try to lose when they are in office. That's not good for their own power.
    
    
11. His policies, like Carter's, will take unemployment up to nearly 20%, inflation will be through the roof and the mortgage interest rates of 21% we experienced in the late '70s will most likely return.
    

This is just a few of the things that will happen in an Obama presidency, there are many more that will kill our economy and take us into such a tailspin that it will take 20+ years to get out of it. His commercials are all flowery and nice with promises that make you feel good, but you need to know what the candidates do. After all, actions speak louder than words so make sure you are really informed about the candidates and get out there and vote.

Top Ten Reasons To Vote For Obama/Biden

...and here we go:

10) You like $4+ gasoline prices and think the recent drop in prices is just awful. You can’t wait for all new domestic exploration to stop and hope that prices can eventually get to $6/gal.

9) You believe only left-wing ideas should be allowed on radio and TV so we must censor them and all opponents must be shut down.

8) You are hoping you too can be investigated and your life destroyed because you asked a question the campaign didn’t want to hear. Just like Joe the plumber and a TV anchor in Florida.

7) You like waiting 6 months in the socialized health care system for tests to tell you if you have cancer…even though the cancer will kill you in 3 months.

6) You love knowing you voted the same way the President of Iran, the leader of Hamas, the dictator of Venezuela and every other enemy of the United States of America says they would have voted if they could.

5) You are tired of deciding where to invest your money so you would rather the government just take your 401K and stick it into social security.

4) You are excited about the United States losing a war and showing the world we don’t follow through with anything.

3) You like the fact that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were run into the ground while requiring banks to make bad loans sending the economy into a downward spiral. You’re especially excited that Obama was the 2nd highest recipient of campaign contributions from these government-run companies as well.

2) You are tired of only paying nearly half of your income in taxes so you can’t wait for the tax cuts of 2003 to expire and give us the largest tax increases in history. The boost in unemployment is the most exciting part of this for you.

1) You think it’s unfair that you actually have to go to work so you would rather the government take money from that guy who works 60-80 hours a week to support his/her family and give it to you so you can watch TV instead.


This list is based on previous votes by Obama and what he said before the campaign began along with current proposals by Democrats in congress that would be passed by Obama if he were president. No false, misleading Obama campaign rhetoric was used in the formulation of this list.

Predictions

It's that time when we once again elect the "leader of the free world" for the next four years. I love history and keeping up with what is going on with our country's leadership so I'm going to put in my two cents worth on predictions for the election next week. You'll probably be surprised because, unlike the mainstream media, I pay attention to the details.

The first thing to remember is free and fair elections are never won or lost before the vote is tallied.

The mainstream media has practically called this election for Barack Obama, but I think they are completely wrong. In fact, I not only believe McCain will win, I also believe the margin will be at least as wide as 2004 when Bush beat Kerry and here are the reasons why:

• Sarah Palin. The media keeps trying to tell us she is hated because she is outspoken and right-wing, but this just is not supported by the facts. This year's Vice Presidential debate was the highest rated...ever. It wasn't because Washington main-stay Joe Biden was there. Republicans, especially conservatives, love her and she not only brings the conservative base back, she energizes them. The latest Saturday Night Live skit with her was the highest rated SNL in 14 years. Even more evidence of how much the people like her. She will bring a lot of voters to the polls who had planned to sit out this election because they were not happy about the moderate McCain.
  
  
• The polls have been skewed by the media for a reason. The media are not trying at all to hide their bias this election so the polls they take are focused on deflating Republicans to try and get them to stay home. That is why they are all saying "it's over, Obama will win in a landslide", but history does not support them. The polls always tighten up and even flip in the last day or two before an election because the pollsters cannot afford to be way off when the actual vote comes in. Another problem with the early polls can be seen in the internals. If you look at the polling samples, they have contained at least 60% "registered democrats" plus the poll is "weighted" with the media saying they believe more democrats will show up at the polls. This gives a false lead to Obama. Polls have already begun to tighten and in most of the polls conducted by polling institutions on their own (by this I mean polls that are not dictated by a particular media outlet) are showing a neck-and-neck race.
  
  
• People lie to pollsters. There are a lot of people out there who are sick of the mainstream media trying to make up news with polls and others who believe it is none of their business so they lie about their intentions. That's why several polls have such a large margin of error of 7%-10%.
  
  
• The reports of millions of unprecedented young voters is just not true. A recent survey of new voter registrations showed new youth registrants this year is at the same level as previous elections. That does not translate into the reported expectation of millions of votes for Obama.
  
  
• In internal polls (polls done by the campaigns themselves), Obama is only getting 80% of registered democrat support. Compare that to Kerry who had 89% and Gore who had 93% but still lost. This comes from the leaders of the party believing all democrats are very left-wing like them. The truth is about 1/2 of registered democrats are moderate to conservative. Every new democrat who was elected in 2006 ran more conservative than their republican opposition. The people who elected them will not vote for someone as liberal as Obama/Biden.
  
  
• The missteps of the candidates these last two weeks are hurting Obama/Biden tremendously. People are watching the candidates and their party try to destroy "Joe the plumber's" life. Average Americans relate to Joe much more than they relate with Obama or Biden. It enrages the average American to see elites try to destroy someone who simply asks a question and that makes them think "What if that were me and my family?"
  
  
• Today another interview has Obama saying the Constitution is flawed and he shares his belief that the courts have not been radical enough in redistributing wealth. This will spread across the Internet and since it is in his own words he cannot deny it. People will see this as his real beliefs and they do not support these concepts. The large majority of Americans love and are proud of their country and they do not think it is fundamentally flawed. Also, in a previous survey, 84% of people polled said they do not support the redistribution of wealth by the government taking from one to give it to someone else. Only 9% said they support this concept so when people see Obama's real beliefs they will turn away from him.
  
  
• With the media 100% in the tank for Obama, completely covering up everything about his beliefs and his past while digging up and making up things about McCain and Palin, Obama should be walking away with this election with 20% margins. The Obama campaign knows this and their internal polls show they are way too close. This is why Obama has gone back to the 30 year old democrat play book claiming McCain is going to cut medicare and social security. This same old lie worked for the first couple of times it was tried, but after 30 years people see the truth and they know neither has ever been cut and it's just the same old class warfare tactics. It is a last ditch effort because he knows he is in trouble. Also, Obama is still campaigning hard and in person in states like Virginia where the media say he has a 10%-15% lead. If that were true, Obama would be focusing on the swing states and not wasting his time in places he has "in the bag".
  
  
• The biggest reason Obama will not win this election is "the Bradley effect". Liberals try to use this to say we are all racists, but it's the opposite. For years they have tried to shut down debate with political correctness. This includes calling anyone who does not vote for a black candidate a racist. The issues do not matter to the name callers, they just call everyone racists to try and shame them into voting for the black candidate even though the candidate's views may be completely opposite from the voter's. Because of this attempt to shut down debate, when people are called by a pollster about a race that has a black candidate against a white candidate many will say they plan to vote for the black candidate even if they really are not planning that at all. The voter knows the pollster called them so there is no anonymity. The voter does not want to be called a racist just because they don't plan to vote for the black candidate so they just lie to the pollster. This is usually a 10%-15% difference which is a huge amount to overcome. Basically, if Obama isn't up by a very minimum of 9 points in the polls one or two days before the election, he will not be able to overcome the "Bradley effect".
  

These are the top reasons I think John McCain will win this election regardless of what the media says. Their efforts to suppress republican voters will fail as it has the last several elections and they will be "surprised" Tuesday night when McCain is declared the winner.

How To Lie While "Telling The Truth"

The step-by-step guide for this can be found in the new ad by the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee against Saxby Chambliss. The ad says "Chambliss proposed adding a 23% sales tax to everything you buy" then it lists how much would be added to things you buy. They act like everything you are paying now in taxes will be the same and there will be this huge sales tax thrown on top of it.

While the proposal of a 23% national sales tax is true, they left out everything else in the "Fair Tax" proposal. First, this proposal GETS RID OF ALL FEDERAL INCOME TAXES INCLUDING FICA. That's right, no income taxes for individuals, including FICA, no estate taxes, no gift taxes, no capital gains taxes, no self-employment taxes and no corporate income taxes. The are all replaced with a sales tax so it is totally visible and you know how much you are paying in taxes. I guess, according to the DSCC, that will not matter to you or me. The best part of this is NO IRS. The other part of the proposal is a tax prebate given to every American household for 23% of the the poverty level income. It is a prebate because it is sent at the beginning of every year so low income households pay ZERO TAXES.

Can you imagine how fast the economy would pick back up with such an infusion of cash from all of us being able to keep what we make!

The most ridiculous part of this whole thing is the DSCC supports Jim Martin who has supported every tax increase proposed on Georgia citizens.

You really need to know the truth before you vote. Unfortunately many people will just base their votes on these commercials without investigating any further to see whether or not they are true.

And we wonder why we have a congress that just passed an $850 billion "bail out bill" that 74% of the American people were against.

Do some research BEFORE you vote so you are voting for the candidate who actually represents YOUR values.

Things I'm Too Stupid To Do

I think I am an average guy, intelligent and capable of making many decisions for myself but here is a short list of things I am too stupid to do:

1. I'm too stupid to choose what type of light bulb I should use in my home.
2. I'm too stupid to decide what types of coverage I want or need in my health insurance.
3. I'm too stupid to determine how much I will pay for my own health insurance throughout my life.
4. I'm too stupid to plan for my future and retirement.
   
5. I'm too stupid to determine how much money I give to help others in need.
6. I'm too stupid to decide who to give that money to and trust them to do the most with it to help people.
7. I'm too stupid to decide what kind of food to eat.
8. I'm too stupid to decide what kind of water heater to use.
9. I'm too stupid to decide what kind of toilet I have in my bathroom.
10. I'm too stupid to decide where my child goes to school.
11. I'm too stupid to decide if I should loan money to someone who cannot afford to pay it back.
12. I'm too stupid to decide if patrons of my restaurant can smoke or not.
13. I'm too stupid to decide how much the job I am giving this person is actually worth.
14. I'm too stupid to determine a loan has bad terms and I should not do business with this company.
15. I'm too stupid to decide how much to pay the guy who runs my company based on his performance.
    
16. I'm too stupid to decide when my child should be taught about sex.
17. I'm too stupid to decide whether or not my child should be given a condom.
    
18. I'm too stupid to decide what kind of car to drive with things like:
    
    • How many miles per gallon should my car get?
    • Do I want 10 airbags?
    • Do I want anti-lock brakes?
    • Can I afford all of these things?
      

This is a very short list of hundreds of things I am too stupid to do. I never thought of myself as a stupid man, but I am slowly learning. So why do I think this way? Honestly, I don't. The federal government thinks I am too stupid to do these things on my own without them telling me what I WILL do, like it or not.

New things I will be too stupid to decide under an Obama presidency with a democrat controlled congress:

1. I will be too stupid to decide which doctor I want to see. Universal (really Socialist) Health Care will choose your doctor and, if it is anything like Hillary Clinton's proposal, will put you in jail if you try to see a private doctor.
   
2. I might be too stupid to decide what size house I should have. Proposals by some democrats in congress want to limit the size house YOU can have. Proposals that will not see the light of day until there is a democrat in the white house who would approve such a measure.
   
3. I will be too stupid to decide how much I am willing to pay for a gallon of gasoline. Proposed price controls and windfall profits taxes will keep the price down artificially and cause huge lines for gasoline. The same thing these identical policies did in the 1970s.
   
4. I will be too stupid to decide if I want mental health coverage in my insurance policy. This will be a requirement in your company health policy until the socialist health system can be passed whether you need it or not. Much like the requirement that every woman have maternity coverage, no matter how old or whether she can have children or not. Like all unfunded mandates, it will raise the cost of coverage for everyone, stress .
   
5. I will be too stupid to determine it is time to foreclose on the guy I loaned money to is not going to pay me back so I can get back what I put in. The proposed "moratorium on foreclosures" will stress banks further and cause even more bank failures. It is also a very scary proposal that literally takes the companies' contracts and makes them "null and void". Other types of companies will fear the government will do the same with them so they will tighten up their requirements and really give us a credit squeeze.
   

Again, this is a very short list of the new things I will be stupid to do under an Obama presidency with a democrat controlled congress. I would like to keep listing more and more, but fortunately I'm not too stupid to decide I would rather do some other things today.

Get out there and vote, but make sure you decide how stupid you want the government to think you are before you press the buttons on the voting machine.
