Various E-mails I thought were worth keeping.

Very interesting...

Like it or not, pretty interesting from someone who has lived it. This article was published in the Washington Post on Feb. 11. 2009?

Back on Uncle Sam's plantation by Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist

Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam's Plantation. I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.

I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas -- a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.

I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.

A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.

A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"

Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems -- the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.

The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.

Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.

I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996 which was passed by a Republican controlled Congress.

I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism.

But, incredibly, we are now going in the opposite direction.

Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.

Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, "Thank you, Suh."

Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.

There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate
executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.

In an op-Ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post, Mr. Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus.

"This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending -- it's a strategy for America's long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education."

Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place "with unprecedented transparency and accountability."

Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.

Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 -- The War on Poverty -- which President Johnson said "...does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty."

Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births.

It's not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama's invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.

Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be?

"The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN !!!

[David Buschur]

I would like to start by thanking you for attending this meeting, though
it's not like you had much of a choice. After all, attendance was
mandatory. I'm also glad many of you accepted my invitation to your
family members to be here as well. I have a few remarks to make to all
of you, and then we'll retire to the ballroom for a great lunch and some
employee awards.

I felt that this meeting was important enough to close all 12 of our
tire and automotive shops today so that you could be here. To reassure
you, everybody is being paid for the day --- except me. Since our stores
are closed we're making no money. That economic loss is mine to sustain.
Carrington Automotive has 157 full time employees and around 30
additional part-timers. All of you are here. I thank you for that.

When you walked into this auditorium you were handed a rather thick
78-page document. Many of you have already taken a peek. You were
probably surprised to see that it's my personal tax return for 2008.
Those of you who are adept at reading these tax returns will see that
last year my taxable income was $534,000.00. Now I'm sure this seems
rather high to many of you. So ... let's talk about this tax return.

Carrington Automotive Enterprises is what we call a Sub-S - a Subchapter
S corporation. The name comes from a particular part of our tax code.
Sub-S status means that the income from all 12 of our stores is reported
on my personal tax return. Businesses that report their income on the
owner's personal tax return are referred to as "small businesses." So,
you see now that this $534,000 is really the total taxable income - the
total combined profit from all 12 of our stores. That works out to an
average of a bit over $44,000 per store.

Why did I feel it important for you to see my actual 2008 tax return?
Well, there's a lot of rhetoric being thrown around today about taxes,
small businesses and rich people. To the people in charge in Washington
right now I'm a wealthy American making over a half-million dollars a
year. Most Americans would agree: I'm just another rich guy; after all
... I had over a half-million in income last year, right? In this room
we know that the reality is that I'm a small business owner who runs 12
retail establishments and employs 187 people. Now here's something that
shouldn't surprise you, but it will: Just under 100 percent ... make
that 99.7 percent of all employers in this countries are small
businesses, just like ours. Every one of these businesses reports their
income on a personal income tax return. You need to understand that
small businesses like ours are responsible for about 80 percent of all
private sector jobs in this country, and about 70 percent of all jobs
that have been created over the past year. You also need to know that
when you hear some politician talking about rich people who earn over
$200,000 or $500,000 a year, they're talking about the people who create
the jobs.

The people who are now running the show in Washington have been talking
for months about raising taxes on wealthy Americans. I already know that
in two years my federal income taxes are going to go up by about 4.5
percent. That happens when Obama and the Democrats allow the Bush tax
cuts to expire. When my taxes climb by 4.5 percent the Democrats will be
on television saying that this really isn't a tax increase. They'll
explain that the Bush tax cuts have expired... nothing more. Here at
Carrington we'll know that almost 5% has been taken right off of our
bottom line. And that means it will be coming off your bottom line.

Numbers are boring, I know ... but let's talk a bit more about that
$534,000. That's the money that was left last year from company revenues
after I paid all of the salaries and expenses of running this business.
Now I could have kept every penny of that for myself, but that would
have left us with nothing to grow our business, to attract new customers
and to hire new employees. You're aware that we've been talking about
opening new stores in Virginia Beach and Newport News. To do that I will
have to buy or lease property, construct a building and purchase
inventory. I also have to hire additional people to work in those
stores. These people wouldn't immediately be earning their pay. So,
where do you think the money for all of this comes from? Right out of
our profits... right out of that $534,000. I need to advertise to bring
customers in, especially in these tough times. Where do you think that
money comes from? Oh sure, I can count it as an expense when I file my
next income tax return ... but for right now that comes from either
current revenues or last year's profits. Revenues right now aren't all
that hot ... so do the math. A good effective advertising campaign might
cost us more than $300,000.

Is this all starting to come together for you now?

Right now the Democrats are pushing a nationalized health care plan
that, depending on who's doing the talking, will add anywhere from
another two percent to an additional 4.6 percent to my taxes. If I add a
few more stores, which I would like to do, and if the economy improves,
my taxable income ... our business income ... could go over one million
dollars! If that happens the Democrats have yet another tax waiting,
another five percent plus! I've really lost tract of all of the new
government programs the Democrats and President Obama are proposing that
they claim they will be able to finance with new taxes on what they call
"wealthy Americans."

And while we're talking about health care, let me explain something else
to you. I understand that possibly your biggest complaint with our
company is that we don't provide you with health insurance. That is
because as your employer I believe that it is my responsibility to
provide you with a safe workplace and a fair wage and to do all that I
can to preserve and grow this company that provides us all with income.
I no more have a responsibility to provide you with health insurance
than I do with life, auto or homeowner's insurance. As you know, I have
periodically invited agents for health insurance companies here to
provide you with information on private health insurance plans. The
Democrats are proposing to levy yet another tax against Carrington in
the amount of 8 percent of my payroll as a penalty for not providing you
with health insurance. You should know that if they do this I will be
reducing every person's salary or hourly wage by that same 8 percent.
This will not be done to put any more money in my pocket. It will be
done to make sure that I don't suffer financially from the Democrat's
efforts to place our healthcare under the control of the federal
government. It is your health, not mine. It is your healthcare, not
mine. These are your expenses, not mine. If you think I'm wrong about
all this, I would sure love to hear your reasoning.

Try to understand what I'm telling you here. Those people that Obama and
the Democrats call "wealthy Americans" are, in very large part,
America's small business owners. I'm one of them. You have the evidence,
and surely you don't think that the owner of a bunch of tire stores is
anything special. That $534,000 figure on my income tax return puts me
squarely in Democrat crosshairs when it comes to tax increases.

Let's be clear about this ... crystal clear. Any federal tax increase on
me is going to cost you money, not me. Any new taxes on Carrington
Automotive will be new taxes that you, or the people I don't hire to
staff the new stores I won't be building, will be paying. Do you
understand what I'm telling you? You've heard about things rolling
downhill, right? Fine .. then you need to know that taxes, like that
other stuff, roll downhill. Now you and I may understand that you are
not among those that the Democrats call "wealthy Americans," but when
this "tax the rich" thing comes down you are going to be standing at the
bottom of the mud slide, if you get my drift. That's life in the big
city, my friends ... where elections have consequences.

You know our economy is very weak right now. I've pledged to get us
through this without layoffs or cuts in your wages and benefits. It's
too bad the politicians can't get us through this without attacking our
profits. To insure our survival I have to take a substantial portion of
that $534,000 and set it aside for unexpected expenses and a worsening
economy. Trouble is, the government is eyeing that money too ... and
they have the guns. If they want it, they can take it.

I don't want to make this too long. There's a great lunch waiting for us
all. But you need to understand what's happening here. I've worked hard
for 23 years to create this business. There were many years where I
couldn't take a penny in income because every dollar was being dedicated
to expanding the business. There were tough times when it took every
dollar of revenues to replenish our inventory and cover your paychecks.
During those times I earned nothing. If you want to see those tax
returns, just let me know.

OK .. I know I'm repeating myself here. I don't hire stupid people, and
you are probably getting it now. So let me just ramble for a few more
minutes.

Most Americans don't realize that when the Democrats talk about raising
taxes on people making more than $250 thousand a year, they're talking
about raising taxes on small businesses. The U.S. Treasury Department
says that six out of every ten individuals in this country with incomes
of more than $280,000 are actually small business owners. About one-half
of the income in this country that would be subject to these increased
taxes is from small businesses like ours. Depending on how many of these
wonderful new taxes the Democrats manage to pass, this company could see
its tax burden increase by as much as $60,000. Perhaps more.

I know a lot of you voted for President Obama. A lot of you voted for
Democrats across the board. Whether you voted out of support for some
specific policies, or because you liked his slogans, you need to learn
one very valuable lesson from this election. Elections have
consequences. You might have thought it would be cool to have a
president who looks like you; or a president who is young, has a buff
bod, and speaks eloquently when there's a TelePrompTer in the
neighborhood. Maybe you liked his promises to tax the rich. Maybe you
believed his promise not to raise taxes on people earning less than a
certain amount. Maybe you actually bought into his promise to cut taxes
on millions of Americans who actually don't pay income taxes in the
first place. Whatever the reason .. your vote had consequences; and here
they are.

Bottom line? I'm not taking this hit alone. As soon as the Democrats
manage to get their tax increases on the books, I'm going to take steps
to make sure that my family isn't affected. When you own the business,
that is what you're allowed to do. I built this business over a period
of 23 years, and I'm not going to see my family suffer because we have a
president and a congress who think that wealth is distributed rather
than earned. Any additional taxes, of whatever description, that
President Obama and the Democrats inflict on this business will come
straight out of any funds I have set aside for expansion or pay and
benefit increases. Any plans I might have had to hire additional
employees for new stores will be put aside. Any plans for raises for the
people I now have working for me will be shelved. Year-end bonuses might
well be eliminated. That may sound rough, but that's the reality.

You're going to continue to hear a lot of anti-wealth rhetoric out there
from the media and from the left. You can chose to believe what you wish
.. .but when it comes to Carrington Automotive you will know the truth.
The books are open to any of you at any time. I have nothing to hide. I
would hope that other small business owners out there would hold
meetings like this one, but I know it won't happen that often. One of
the lessons to be learned here is that taxes ... all taxes ... and all
regulatory costs that are placed on businesses anywhere in this country,
will eventually be passed right on down to individuals; individuals such
as yourself. This hasn't been about admonishing anyone and it hasn't
been about issuing threats. This is part of the education you should
have received in the government schools, but didn't. Class is now
dismissed.

Let's eat.

This is one upset woman.....

Subject: Fw: opinion letter passed on with permission!

Dear President Obama

Today I read of your administrations plan to re-define September 11 as
a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.

During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our
tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of
Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the
only one not honoring our tradition. We noticed.

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you
intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America ,
has 57 states. We noticed.

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a
flower on the memorial, you tossed your flower onto the pile without
leaning over. We noticed.

Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position
on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this
great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country
and our beliefs, you have not defended us. We noticed.

When your pastor of 20 years damned America and said that 9/11 was "
America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard
recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. When you
later disassociated yourself from that church and pastor because it
was politically expedient to do so, we noticed.

When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why.
With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, if
not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting
in the White House now. Prior to your election to the highest office
in this country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can
glean from the records available, not a remarkable one. We noticed.

All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself
with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions you
appointed them to. Worse than that, the majority of them are people
who, like you, bear no special affection or respect for this country
and her traditions. We noticed.

You are 6 months into your term and every morning millions of
Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to
saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package
that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation. We noticed.

We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are
not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled
"un-American", racist". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know
how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem
isolated. We noticed.

On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only
Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in
whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we
are Americans. And we noticed.

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could
help unite this nation even more. In six months you have done more to
destroy this nation than anyone since 9/11. You have failed us. We
noticed.

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to
make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share
our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal
as what it is...a disgrace.

When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from
office. You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office
that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits
and policy.

We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you.

Meet the Soetoros

**Picture of the family was here, could not copy it over**

Indonesia
Left to Right:
Lolo Soetoro, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro,baby Maya Soetoro, and 9 year old Barry Soetoro

**Copy of document showing information on Obama, could not copy it over**

This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia,
shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro.
Name: Barry Soetoro
Religion: ..... Islam
Nationality: ..... Indonesian

How did little INDONESIAN, Barry Soetoro, (A.K.A. Barack Obama) get around the issue of nationality to become president?

PART 2:

In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group
"Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of Obama's college transcripts
from Occidental College .

Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro,
received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school.

The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought
by the group in the Superior Court of California.

The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a
fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.
To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.

This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking.

Along with the evidence that he was born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US
citizenship, this is looking pretty grim.

The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about
Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as president.

When reached for comment in London , where he has been in meetings with British Prime
Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.

Britain 's Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned,"
leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit
to the U.K.

In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced
that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as
President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey .

This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president.
Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualifications to
serve as president.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of
Obama's campaign spending.

This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.

Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still on-going but that the final report will be provided to the
U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder.
Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.

LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS THE MEDIA WON'T EMBRACE!
NEITHER ONE OF THE OBAMA PAIR HAD TIME TO GET A REAL JOB AND WORK FOR A PAY CHECK. WE PAID THE BALANCE ON THEIR EDUCATION AND TRAVEL

[David Buschur]

Hope Glen Beck gets a hold of this one......

This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's
Watergate or Clinton's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why
was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the
Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks
just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire
financial straights and federal government graciously offered to "buy
the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler
was, in the words of Obama and his administration, "Too big to fail,"
same story with GM.

The feds organized their "Automotive Task Force" to fix Chrysler and GM.
Obama, in an act that is 100% unconstitutional, appointed a guy named
Steve Rattner to be the White House's official Car Czar- literally,
that's what his title is. Rattner is the liaison between Obama,
Chrysler, and GM.

Initially, the national media reported that Chrysler had made this list
of dealerships. That is not true. The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, Fox
New and a host of other news agencies discovered that the list of
dealerships was put together by the "Automotive Task Force" headed by no
one other then Mr. Steve Rattner. Now the plot thickens. Remember
earlier we said earlier that there was neither rhyme nor reason why
certain dealerships were closed? Actually there's a very interesting
pattern as to who was closed down. Again, on May 27, 2009, The
Washington Examiner and Newsmax exposed the connection. Amazingly, of
the 789 dealerships closed by the federal government 788 had donated
money, exclusively, to Republican political causes, while contributing
nothing to Democratic political causes. The only "Democratic" dealership
on the list was found to have donated $7,700 to Hillary's campaign, and
a bit over $2,000 to John Edwards. This same dealership, reportedly,
also gave $200.00 to Obama's campaign. Does that seem a little odd to
you?

Steve Rattner, the guy who put the list together. Well he happens to be
married to a babe named Maureen White. Maureen happens to be the former
national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As such,
she would have access to campaign donation records from everyone in the
nation, Republican or Democrat. But of course, this is just a wacky
coincidence, we're certain.

Then comes another really wacky coincidence. On that list of dealerships
being closed down, a weird thing happened in Arkansas, North Louisiana,
and Southern Missouri. It seems that Bill Clinton's former White House
Chief of Staff, Mack McClarty, owns a chain of dealership in that
region, partnered with a fellow by the name of Robert Johnson. Johnson
happens to be founder of Black Entertainment Television and was a huge
Obama supporter and financier. These guys own a half dozen Chrysler
stores under the company title of RLJ-McClarty-Landers. Interestingly,
none of their dealerships were ordered closed - not one- while all of
their competing Chrysler/Dodge and Jeep dealership were! Eight
dealerships located near the dealerships owned by McClarty and Johnson
were ordered shut down. Thus, by pure luck, these two major Obama
supporters now have virtual monopoly on Chrysler sales in their zone.
Isn't that amazing? Go look in The Washington Examiner, the story's
there, and it's in a dozen or so other web-based news organization, this
isn't being made up.

Now if you thought Chrysler was owned by Fiat, you are truly mistaken.
Under the federal court ruling, 65% of Chrysler is now owned by the
federal government and the United Auto Worker's union- Fiat owns 20%.
The other 15% is till privately owned and presumably will be traded on
the stock market. Obama smiles and says he doesn't want to run the auto
industry.

As horrifying as this is to comprehend, and being as how this used to be
the United States of America, it would appear that the president has the
power to destroy private businesses and eliminate upwards of 100,000
jobs, just because they don't agree with his political agenda. This is
Nazi Germany stuff, and it's happening right here, right now, in your
back yard. There are voices in Washington demanding an explanation, but
the "Automotive Task Force" has released no information to the public or
any of the senators demanding answers for what has been done. Keep your
ear to the ground for more on this story. If you've ever wanted to make
a difference about anything in your life, get on the phone to your
national senator or representative in the House and demand an
investigation on this.

Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said, "All that's necessary for
evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Car Czar No More

An amazing thing happened as this story was going to press. Obama's Car
Czar, Steve Rattner, resigned on July 13 and was promptly replaced by
former steel workers union boss Ron Bloom. According to CBS News,
Rattner left "to return to private life and spend time with his family."
Treasure Secretary Tim Geithner said, "I hope that he takes another
opportunity to bring his unique skills to government service in the
future." By the way, Rattner is under investigation for a multi-million
dollar pay-to-play investment bank scandal in New York. Uh-oh! But,
we're certain that had nothing to do with his resignation. And,
according to several news sources out there, there are rumors he's being
investigated for what could be pay-to-play scandal involving the closing
of Chrysler and GM dealerships. Really? Again, that couldn't have
anything to with his resignation- that's ridiculous! Like CBS said, this
guy just wants to spend more quality time with his family. Obama has
thirty-two personally appointed "czars" that answer to no one but him,
all of whom are acting without any Constitutional authority. But hey,
we're sure they all have "unique skills," as Tim Geithner likes to say.

Profound short paragraph:

“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy
out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person
must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything
that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the
people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is
going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does
no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that
my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply
wealth by dividing it."*

*Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005*

[David Buschur]

The American people should be demanding to know the answers to these questions!
why aren't our leaders stepping up to demand those answers?????????????????

Subject: Obama's Passport

ONE SIMPLE QUESTION…



Paul Hollrah

While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at UTFSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question:

What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?

So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?

And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?

The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.

Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A: Yes, by his own admission.

Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.

Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list in 1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.

If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.

Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008.

Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.

If you don't care if YOUR President is not a natural born Citizen, perjured himself in his presidential application, and in violation of the Constitution, then delete this and go into your cocoon. If you do care, then forward this to others!

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW THESE THINGS??????

Especially read the last quote from 1802.




When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..'

WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE ... BUT WE HAVE ABSOULUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!!

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. - Ronald Reagan

“Tragedy at Ft Hood”
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004.
My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.
A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.
A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.

On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.
There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.
This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.
We have seen this before in 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US Soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.
What have we done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing
.
What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.
However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 Soldiers and Civilian, but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we are told was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his Nation and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.
We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar”, same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.

No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people; they are therefore complicit in any future attacks. Our Congress should suspend the insidious action to vote on a preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.
The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement; they are an illegitimate terrorist associated organization which should be disbanded.
We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Are “Kaffirs” and “Infidels” allowed travel to Mecca?
So much for peaceful coexistence.
Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent Wahabbist ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.

We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.
There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion.
The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional.
When tolerance becomes a one way street it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street. Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our Republic, because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.
Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial, and realize a simple point.
The reality of your enemy must become your own.
Steadfast and Loyal,
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it?


Did you know his trial is over?
Did you know he was sentenced?
Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV or Radio?


Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.


------------------------------------------------


Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.

Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say. His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his 'allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah,' defiantly stating, 'I think I will not apologize for my actions,' and told the court 'I am at war with your country.'

Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid.

Judge Young: 'Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.

On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutively. (That's 80 years.)

On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years again, to be served consecutively to the 80 years just imposed.. The Court imposes upon you for each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 that's an aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines.

The Court imposes upon you an $800 special assessment. The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further.

This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.

Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not----- you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and the TV crews were, and he said: 'You're no big deal.'

You are no big deal.

What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?

I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing? And, I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.

It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom, so that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.

We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. The day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure.

Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America , the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.

Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.

So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV sets? We need more judges like Judge Young. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to say. Powerful words that strike home.
