ENVIRONMENTALISTS, THE WORDS COMMON SENSE DO NOT EXIST IN THEIR LANGUAGE ANYMORE.

      Environmentalism at one time made sense to me back when I was a young man, but it's emphasis has gotten far beyond anything that resembles common sense.
     As far as I can determine, the Federal gov't has allowed them too much access to taxpayer dollars for the real good that they actually do. First of all they are all Liberal Socialists to the very core even when the Gov't itself, is Capitalist Republican at times. The people within the Organization should be totally replaced when the next opportunity arises. Replace them with straight thinking people. Cut off their funding until they decide to listen. It's time to fight back with them running the whole Nation.
     There's no such a word in their language as compromise. It's beyond me that the Congress has allowed them a free reign in whatever it is they want to do,including unlimited funds to do it.
     Like any other Gov't organization, they should have regulations governing and limiting them to what they can demand outside the realm of common sense. At some point in time, different Gov't sponsored organizations need to be reined in because of the misuse of money and discretion. Not often enough, I might add. However, this has not happened with the Environmental Protection Agency. The all too powerful EPA. It has grown to the point of absurdity and is causing a tremendous waste of Taxpayer dollars and private money  that stretches into the trillions of dollars in the past 20 years. It's largely due to their power combined with a lack of the need to compromise.
    It's far past time that a correction was made.
    It's just fine with me that environmental preservation be maintained in order to control abuses that truly do cause harm, but that hardly seems to be the point anymore. Any laws to be passed need to be with room for exception and discretion. But because of monetary influence, our Congressmen and Legislators are allowing the environmental groups to totally name the game. No exceptions, no listening to reason and no compromises period.
    A lot of their rules would be thrown out by a sincere U.S.Supreme Court if the challenges were ever allowed to get that far by the the lower Courts. They're Constitutionally unfounded. In fact a lot of State laws aside from the environmentalist ones are unconstitutional.
    Local laws are quite often Socialist rather than Constitutionally sound. Labor and Industries presumes  a Contractor is guilty unless he can prove innocence. This is the exact opposite to the Constitutional presumption of Innocence until proven guilty. And you have to post a $200.00 bond in order to contest the fine.
    Anyway I don't want to get away from this environmental issue. With L.& I. you can at least compromise the circumstances. With the EPA, it's unheard of.
    They don't care about the circumstances. They don't care who their decision hurts and they don't care what it costs our own Gov't as long as the man with the ponytail gets his way.
    Let's just set their issues aside until we get this country back on track at least. If they can't compromise or be willing to come to terms, Suspend their powers while we get things done.
    I'm sure I make at least as much sense as they do.     Just sayin'.

I LOVE MY COMPUTER BECAUSE, I CAN SEE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

    If someone had told me in 2010 that I would be operating a computer in 2011, I would never have believed it. Simply because, being 75 years old in less than a month, I hadn't even wanted to turn one  on, let alone operate it. I could not imagine learning a new revised English language especially fabricated for computer use. Why did I buy one? Well, it was a moment of weakness inspired by previous suggestions from my oldest daughter Kim over a period of recent years, that I should think about purchasing a computer to stay in touch with the family. Whenever she would visit me from Canada, she would bring her laptop with her to show me the latest videos and snapshots of my other children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
    Kim recently recovered from Leukemia treatments and we had just lost her older brother and my son, Allan, to a brain tumor early in 2010. After thinking all our bad luck was over, for a spell at least, I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I was scheduled for 44 Radiation treatments on a daily basis. After completing treatments and thinking I was good to go for a few more years, It was discovered I had 4 major blockages in my heart and eventually received 2 operations to correct that as well.
    I wasn't really surprised, upset or frightened by this, since I had already been preceded in life by the death of my two oldest sons and always felt, if it was my turn, so be it. Why not me?? Since I sincerely believe there's a God and a life after this one, why not? The whole episode brought me closer to my family and ultimately, that was a good thing.
    In planning for the treatments early in 2011, I wondered what I would do with my Idle time.
    I always had a "flair for the pen", and having taken courses in letter writing in a past life, I thought about writing things from the past. Just anything, having  lived a colorful life,so to speak.
    I was in Office Depot in Mt Vernon doing some other business and leaning on the counter while it was being taken care of. As I looked down, I spotted a flyer advertising a laptop computer with $200.00 off the regular price. It was a flash in the pan moment and I bought it.
    After I got it home, I announced to my wife, who was already computer friendly with one of her own, what I had foolishly done. She looked at me with a "deer in the headlights" look, we both laughed and she wished me luck and all that. With her computer being of a different kind and her just learning as well, compatibility was at a minimum. My impatience wouldn't help either.
 It sat for a couple of months until Kim's next visit. Surprised as all "get out of here!!", she patiently began to show me the basic things needed to learn it. And learn it I tried!!
    First of all the lingo was totally foreign to me. Cursor and all that. My cancer treatments began and I busied myself attempting to learn the darn thing. My spelling was suddenly atrocious and It took me the longest time to just write a short note. There were soon to be two cursors involved. one is spelled different.
    One day while working for a lady who just happened to be a computer whiz, and made part of her living repairing and programming them, she asked me to bring it by and she would program some shortcuts for me to make it a little easier.
    The instant she sat down, she began having trouble typing anything. Her spelling wasn't any better, and after a half hour or so, she bypassed my keyboard with a remote one of her own, to discover my keyboard was faulty and needed replaced. Just my luck, right?? I had purchased a computer with a defective keyboard. No wonder the bad spelling!
    The drama continued, because the computer was under warranty, it had to be returned to the manufacturer. Six weeks went by before it was returned and things went back to normal. Lee, the computer lady, reprogrammed it for me and with further patience on her part, I was finally on my way.
    With her help, she set up a blogging page for me and I started in. It was therapy for me in more ways than one, and I have enjoyed doing it ever since. It not only causes me to refresh my memory on happenings of the past and brushing up on my English literature, but it allows me to clarify anything I may be dubious about, by just typing in any question on the internet and the answer is right there in front of me.
    It's great for blogging because I can express my opinion with facts to back it up. With the few short years I have left, there's little room for falsehoods or misconceptions. Besides, if there are other people reading my blogs, and they can, I want to be telling truth as I have perceived it.
    It helps them and me to learn the other side of the story sometimes, I mean no malice to anyone who reads them.     Just sayin'.

THE "FAST AND FURIOUS" DEBACLE, WHO'S ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE?

The Commander in Chief has dodged his responsibility once again! The art of "Liberal/ Socialist Deflection" is at work once more and so far successfully. (Seminar Liberalism that's explained by me in an earlier blog.)
    Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General is being asked to resign for his skulduggery and masterminding of the secret, underhanded, black market sale of weapons to the warring drug Cartels operating along both sides of the Southern border.
    Some of those weapons were proven to have been used in the murder of two Border Patrol Agents trying to prevent drug smuggling into the U.S. recently. The weapons sales were done by the
ATF, ( The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms), under the guise of trying to find out where the weapons being smuggled from the States, were ending up in Mexico. WHAT???
Even though some of the agents involved say he did know, Holder  denies knowing anything about it happening. Clearly, he's hoping there will be a "fall guy" that will deflect suspicion away from him, before it goes too far .
    TOO LATE MY FRIEND!!!!
    The head of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, was the first top authority to hear about it and didn't report it to the Justice Dept.(Eric Holder) for two months, supposedly. Do you believe that, first of all??? I don't believe she didn't tell him. I think she was attempting to cover for Eric Holder in hopes  the news would not be found out by Fox News. But it was!!!
    Do you think that Barack Obama didn't Know? Really?? Do you honestly think Barack Obama wasn't in on this operation? Because of his devious behavior of the past in avoiding blame for the Acorn underhandedness, the Solyndra scandal and now this? I believe he knew.
    What I can't believe is how even the "Seminar Liberals" can go along with his deflective rhetoric.
    Even if he didn't know, he should at least be man enough to take ultimate responsibility for it, being the man who appointed Holder to the Attorney General's office.     Just sayin'.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS HAVE PURCHASED $70,000.00 WORTH OF OBAMA"S BOOK ON "DREAMS OF MY FATHER"

And distributed them to State Dept.s around the world. To quote the Washington Times10/25/11:
The State Dept. has bought more than $70,000.00 worth of books authored by Pres. Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking "key libraries" around the world with "Dreams of my Father" more than a decade after it's release.
    The U.S. Embassy in Egypt for instance, spent $28,636.00 in Aug. 2009 for copies Mr. Obama's best selling memoir. Six weeks earlier,the Embassy had placed another order for the same book for more than $9,000.00,federal purchasing records show.
    About the same time, Embassies around the world, like the U.S. Embassy in South Korea, had the same idea and spent more than $6,000.00 for copies of "Dreams of my Father".
    One month later, the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, ( Where Obama went to school as a child) spent more than $3,800.00 for hardcover copies of the Indonesian version of Obama's "Dream of my Father" renamed "The Audacity of Hope", records show.
    A review of  the expenditures in a Federal data base did not reveal any examples of State Department purchases of books by former Presidents George W. Bush or Bill Clinton.
    The purchases of Mr. Obama's literary work mostly, but not always, took place in the months after Obama captured the White House.
    Leslie Paige, Spokeswoman for a watch dog group called"Citizens Against Gov't Waste", said "If the Federal Gov't is looking to cut costs, eliminating purchases of Mr. Obama's books would be a good place to start."
    I didn't read the book, nor do I intend to, but I did read about his father. If Barack Obama had lived the life of his father here in America, he'd be in jail today or dead from driving drunk into a tree.
    He might think about writing a book about his Grandparents, who I'm sure taught him any values he might have today. He was not raised by his mother or father. No detriment mean't to him. He was the crafty one. We were the gullible ones.
     I wonder if his book is worth reading in the first place. I'm sure it's been written in the "Seminar Liberal/Socialist" language.     Just sayin'.

A WAY OUT OF BEING BUFFALOED BY THE LIBERAL/SOCIALIST REGIME

                                           email me        macgeo2345@hotmail.com
                                     read my blogs      http:/macgeo1234.blogspot.com

For too long, the Liberal Socialists have manipulated the opposition by the use of what I consider "Reverse Psychology." They accuse the Opposition of doing, or having done something, that they have already done, or are about to do themselves. This serves as an effective cover for their own actions.
    They are way ahead of the curve compared to the Opposition when it comes to the art of Deflection.
    For instance, when the Socialist Regime is caught doing something considered underhanded and it has been habitually done on a regular basis, they manage to dig out a singular instance that was done by someone within the Opposition back in 1942. They generalize their accusation by simply saying the Opposition had done it as well. It's surprisingly effective in convincing the listening sheeple that it's now okay to do it. It prompts me to ask you, "Do two wrongs ever make it right?"
It took me some time to realize what they were doing. It's part of the training process within their organization through closed door meetings and Seminars. As I pointed out in a previous blog, they all have the same habits of overtalking the opposition when it comes time for the Opposition to speak. If it's on a Main Media Liberal program, the Moderator very seldom stops them from doing it. It's also referred to as "filibustering", often used by "Seminar Liberals".
    Another tact they very commonly use is to bust out laughing or smiling broadly when their erroneous statements are challenged and obviously wrong. This is mean't to deflect from the point the Opposition is trying to make. If you'll take note, our President Obama leads them in these ploys.
    The Opposition and the listeners need to stick together and challenge them for using these tactics.
    Deception in sales is frowned upon by savvy consumers. Why not politics?
    They're easy to spot if you pay attention. Ponytail, beard, sandals, bow tie, pipe and their fly's open.
    Ask yourself this question; "Would I buy a car from this man?"        Just sayin'.

WOULD RICK PERRY THROW THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN HOPEFULS UNDER THE BUS TO WIN THE NOMINATION?

First off, I was really impressed by the sincerity of all the hopefuls who started out on this journey to begin with. They were and still are that way. Then someone decided to convince Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, to throw his hat in the ring.
    Although he's a handsome young man with a typical, enhancing, professional politician smile, he still qualifies as the "Old Fart" style of politician we were hoping to get rid of in WA. D.C. today.
    Sure he may fit right in as the Choice of Texas, but he doesn't fool the rest of the U.S. voters who are requiring someone who needs to know what he's talking about and recognizes the urgency to get the economy back on track. Rick Perry is doing a miserable job of convincing anybody, because he jumped into the race thinking all it would take was charm. He's mistaken! He has found himself in the middle of a group of earnest individuals who DO know what they're talking about and they're outshining him to a point of looking silly! His interrupting and overtalking is typical of a method used by the "Seminar Liberals" and people are beginning to get wise to it, thank God!
     His spoiled boy behavior is coming out in his rhetoric. But he's acting like he's willing to throw the whole affair under the bus if he doesn't get his way. His charming smile isn't going to save him in this debate with the Heavies who know what they're talking about.
    The other hopefuls would be wise to trashcan this guy so they can get on with the discussion at hand. He's belittling all of them.    
    The "Prayer of Serenity" should be heeded by this guy and goes like this:
                                        "God grant him the Serenity to accept the things he cannot
                                         change,
                                         The Courage to change the things he can,
                                        And the Wisdom to know the difference."
    Let's hope he recognizes the difference!
    Right now, he is an embarrassment and an insult to the intelligence of the the other bright, capable candidates.
    Please, someone, get this Dummy off the stage.     Just sayin'.

SHOULDN'T WE SEND A COPY OF THE U.S.CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS TO LIBYA THE NEXT TIME HILLARY CLINTON VISITS THERE?

Or has she already done that? Since it has worked so well in the past 250 years here in the U.S., and we want them to be a true Democracy, why not? A Republic like we are so proud of being.
   In fact, shouldn't the Congress actually require our Representatives to do so? It would show that regardless of who runs our Gov't, we all firmly believe in abiding by those 2 documents, come hell or high water! I mean, it's so important to the electorate, the law should require that they do it!
   It would be a wonderful boost to Libya's provisional Gov't right when it would do the most good. It's actually a perfect time for it. Why, we as a free country, should feel honored and proud to know we would be pointing them in the right direction. A sense of guilt should occur if we don't!
   With the sales tact that President Obama has, he would be the perfect man for the job.Come to think of it, isn't it a part of his job? There should be no reason for him to have a problem with that!
   I doubt he would have any objection to it at a time like this, the way he just loves to travel on that  plane he's been using during his campaign trips. Just jokin', I know he's allowed that privilege, being the President and all.
   But seriously, being the President, shouldn't he be more than anxious to do that? Or would he be more inclined to let them adopt the European way, kind of like he's really trying to do here? The European way is inclined to follow the Marxist philosophy. That's about 1/2 way to Communism, my friends.
    Oh oh! Update: The Provisional Prime Minister has just announced the country will adopt SHARIAH  LAW. So much for that Democracy! Why did we waste our money on all those drones and bombs, already? Fox News reports that Al Quaida' Flags are flying at the top of every School and Gov't building in Libya already. Do you suppose Obama's Drones and bombs didn't know they were going to aid Al Quaida's placing them there? With Obama's micromanaging, You bet he knew!
   Shariah Law is definitely not compatible to Democracy as we know it. It's like trying to make chicken soup with camel pee, it's not gonna work! Look it up on Google!
Don't think our President didn't know all along this was going to happen. He did! He was standing in the shadowy background, WATCHING!!       Just sayin'.

SO YOU CAN GET THIS STRAIGHT ABOUT OBAMACARE.

Because of a Democratic/Socialist Bill passed under very, "behind closed doors" circumstances, the following is about to happen whether the general Populace likes it or not. It was emailed to me by a friend this morning.
   We're going to be "force gifted" with a Health Care plan we are FORCED to PURCHASE and FINED if we don't! Which purportedly covers another 10 or 15 MILLION people without adding a single new doctor, but provides 16 THOUSAND new IRS AGENTS.
   It was written by a committee whose Chairman admits he DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IT  and PASSED BY a CONGRESS WHO DIDN'T READ IT, because they didn't care since they are EXEMPTED from it.
   And signed by a President who HADN'T READ IT EITHER in between CIGARETTES, along with funding ADMINISTERED by a TREASURY CHIEF WHO FAILED TO REPORT $150,000.00 owed in unpaid taxes, prior to being appointed to Head the IRS. (Doesn't this stink so far?)
All for which we'll be TAXED FOR FOUR YEARS BEFORE ANY BENEFITS TAKE EFFECT, by a Gov't which has already BANKRUPTED SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, and financed by a country that's already BROKE!!!
   All to be overseen by a SURGEON GENERAL who is also exempt and well overweight, I might add!
   What the hell else could be possibly wrong with this picture???
   Pray that the Supreme Court overturns this bill!!!      Just sayin'.

ENOUGH ALREADY ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON!!!

The trial on who's responsible for the death of Michael Jackson goes on and on. It's time they put an end to the Circus of blame, don't you think?
    The entertainer was talented even as a child to a point considered unequaled by any other little performer. He enjoyed the adoration of all ages of fans because of his astounding music and dance routines. He was coveted by his family and friends and hovered over by the Press all his life from little duffer to well into adulthood, including the moment he died.
    Nonetheless, at some point in his life, he needed, like the rest of us, to grab the bull by the horns and say, "Thanks for all your attention and help, but I think I can fly on my own now." I guess for many reasons, some other than his own, he never managed to do that. The taste of money was satisfied by many sources who cashed in on his talents, including his family.
    To what extent did his own siblings, including his mother and father try to intervene in his lifestyle of drugs? Were they too busy enjoying their own lifestyle while paying no attention to his? They can feel as morally responsible as the doctor . They should take as much of the blame!
    This leads me to be reminded of the meaning of blame and responsibility. It always seems that when something  goes wrong in a system of management, be it human or Industrial, someone should be made to take the blame. Someone or something must be blamed in order to satisfy the get-even appetites of those affected. Everyone is reluctant to take the blame in fear of having to suffer the consequences.
    And then there's the Question of Who or what is responsible as an end result. That's usually more difficult to arrive at because accepting responsibility often leads to faulty management at the top. If the investigation is allowed to continue long enough and in a fair enough manner, the principle of the whole affair may have to resign, taking down a lot of his helpers with him, or before him, in some cases. In this case, "Michael Jackson took himself down, taking others with him."
    To point the finger at one individual in Michael Jackson's case is the wrong thing to do, in my estimation. The doctor clearly did his best in a bad situation. He may have been guilty in playing a role in the events that lead up to Jackson's death by trying to satisfy Jackson's demands. But the ultimate responsibility was Michael's and no one else's. Michael bore and ultimately still bears the responsibility.
    His bad decisions were responsible for his demise. He's gone. Morality and the fans should live with it.

ATT. SENIORS>>> AARP IS NOT JUST NONPROFIT FOR SENIORS!!

As they would lead you to believe. Not by a long shot! The idea of marketing by means of one group representing many independent insurance companies is the principle AARP was founded on. They simply sell other companies products from a central distribution point under the facade of being a non profit organization.
According to a hearing advisory from the Committee on Ways & Means, an investigation is underway to determine the ethics of the means they use to sell medical insurance to Seniors. As far as I know the probe is ongoing.
    Quote; AARP has long held itself out as the preeminent non profit organization representing America's Seniors. However, many do not realize that AARP collects billions of dollars each year through the sale and marketing of insurance products.
    Additionally, memberships on AARP's corporate for-profit and tax exempt non-profit boards overlap. (For tax purposes it smells of hanky panky.)
    Given the committee's responsibility to conduct rigorous oversight, jurisdiction over Medicare and sale of Medicare Insurance products, and sole jurisdiction over the tax code, the committee will review AARP's organizational structure and finances.
    AARP is known for being the largest and most well known seniors organization in the country. But what americans don't know is that AARP was the 4th highest spending politician lobbying organization between 1998 and 2010 or that the AARP brand dominates the private Medicare Ins. market.
    As a result of their very generous contributions to the Democratic/Socialist regime, they no doubt receive a front row ticket that places them a step ahead of the the private ins. Co.'s who aren't willing to give AARP a stipend for marketing their product.
    In wishing you to think they are the only ones to sell products covered by Medicare, they are not.
    There are lots of medical Ins. Companies out there who would give you a reasonable deal minus the cost of belonging to AARP's program besides. They are forever politically involved in encouraging us as voters to  vote for the Democratic/Socialist ticket. There's nothing sacred about these people. In the recent AARP ad's closing statement, "These are the only programs for Seniors endorsed by AARP."
Don't be fooled by this false rhetoric. SENIOR INS. PROGRAMS DON'T HAVE TO BE ENDORSED BY AARP!!!       Just sayin'.

                                      I started out to type a note, I really don't know how
                                       
                                     I'll dot my i's and cross my t's, and try it anyhow.

                                     Went to school grades 1 thru 12, and thought I did quite well.

                                     Geography did well by me, but spelling B's were hell.
             
                                     The nouns and verbs were tough to learn, vowels even worse
                                   
                                     Social Studies weren't too bad, but Math was such a curse.

                                     Grade 5 was tough enough to do because of misbehavin'.

                                     Miss Dickens kicked me out one day, because I wasn't shavin'.

                                     I've made it here a grown man, and struggled all the way.

                                     But I still have a vote to cast, when it comes voting day.

                                     And when it comes and someone says, I'm sorry you can't vote,

                                     I'll take the Constitution Lord, and stuff it down their  throat.

DEBORAH BRADLEY, MOTHER OF MISSING BABY LISA IRWIN. GUILTY?

I hope not, and don't think she's guilty of anything. Getting inebriated in her own home is an unfortunate privilege afforded anyone who does it in the privacy of their own home. I would say, if you drink, you've done it. Kids asleep or no kids at all. If you haven't done it, you aren't missing a thing.
   I consider myself a pretty good judge of character and I see a very distraught, deeply tormented lady who misses her 10 month old baby, Lisa Irwin, as much as anyone possibly could.
   So far, there has been no proof at all that she did anything other than drink wine in the supposed safety of her home.
   If I was her lawyer, I would be advising her to say nothing. Why? Because she doesn't remember a darn thing about what happened anyway! She appears to be terribly desperate to get her baby back, as any mother who loves her baby should.
   I'm amazed at how the media would bring suspicion on this woman and prolong it there, even though they don't have a shred of proof she did anything wrong. They're making it appear as though she has, just by the fact she was drinking in excess that particular night the baby disappeared.
   I see a mother who is so cornered by suspicion, she only wants to stay alive long enough to know if her baby is dead or alive. If she is found alive and well, her mind might survive all this. If she isn't, and it doesn't matter who is to blame, she'll probably end it all. Not just because she lost her child, but because people are going to blame her anyway.
   My wish is that you will all leave her alone. Just leave her be.     Just sayin'.

FERNIE, B.C. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ON STRIKE. Approx. 1946 CHOCOLATE BARS AND POP WENT FROM A NICKEL TO A DIME.

 I'm not positive of the year but I know I was still in the Catholic School and the grades only went to 6.All the buzz in our house among my older siblings,(3still at home), was about all the students in Fernie public High School, (300+), going on strike from school for 1 day. The news was out in the Fernie Free Press, a weekly issue, that the stores were going to raise the price of pop and chocolate bars from a nickel to a dime. I mean, come on! We were just coming out of the rationing era caused by WW2 and the Great Depression, and they were gonna do this to us? After all, with Fernie being a remote, coal mining area in the heart of the B.C. Rocky Mountains, coming out of the Depression was about 10 years later than everywhere else in Canada. As far as I'm concerned, anyway.
   The protest parade was all organized and coordinated with the School Board so as not to interrupt the schedule too much. The officials were for the kids getting a fair break on top of it all. The parade time was set  and all the townspeople gathered on the sidewalks of Main St. to see it take place. Including us little kids.
   The high school band started down the street with great gusto and all the teen age marchers following very proudly with their signs waving. The onlookers lining the street began cheering them on as they passed. The 5 pubs and all the businesses emptied out to take in the affair too.
It wasn't uncommon to see tippy-toed bar patrons at 2 pm in Fernie. After all, the coal mines operated around the clock in those days and even when the bars were closed, there were bootleggers aplenty.
   It was a sight to see and hear, and thrilling to be part of the crowd.

 The parade marchers had grins a mile wide when they marched on by, waving there make shift signs as the band played on.
   I don't think there was anyone on the street at that moment, who wasn't proud as could be of the kids in the march. I remember some onlookers in tears and the goose bumps I had to this very day.
   It's a great reflection in time.
   Sadly enough, the price of pop and chocolate bars went up to a dime shortly after anyway.
   The thing I'm proud of most though, is they didn't go roaring down the street busting windows of the helpless shop owners, burning cars along the way and shouting anti Capitalist slogans.
 Although their efforts were in vain, they peacefully behaved in a way the townsfolk of those days were proud of, I'm sure.     Just sayin.

IS MARTIAL LAW ON OBAMA'S MIND IN ORDER TO GET HIS WAY?

In his last speech, he made a remark something like this, "If the Congress thinks they can keep stalling on the passage of this bill, I've got news for them. NOT THIS TIME! NOT THIS TIME!!!"
    What do you suppose he mean't by that? It appeared to me as though he was losing his patience as well as his composure. We all know on the Right side that he has his friends out there among'st the Wall St. rioters, stirring them up to the point of physical violence, and continuing to encourage the violence after that. To gather votes? Yes partially. He can buy a lot of votes from uninformed people without spending a lot of money. A comedian stated the other day that you can buy 10 votes for $500.00 from Street Protesters when it would cost you $5000.00 for one politician.
    It wouldn't be the first time I know of that he wasted our tax dollars.
    To be sure, I can't accurately predict what a power hungry man would do to take control, but I can guess. Here's his most effective way of doing it:
    Stir up the masses around the country to the point of violent revolution and destruction. Start with the Street bums. Then add the fun seekers. Keep his henchmen stirring them up while he stands innocently back doing nothing. Then do this in order to control it: Ignore the Congress, Invoke his Executive privilege to enact laws of his own making, and if that doesn't work, in desperation, Invoke MARTIAL LAW! In case you've never read it, here it is:
    "Martial Law is the imposition of Military rule by Military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis.----usually only temporary---- when the Civilian Gov't or Civilian Authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain Order and Security, and provide essential services); when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure Gov't buildings and key areas or sensitive locations, and to maintain order.[l] Generally Military personnel replace Civil authority, and perform some or all of their functions. The Constitution could be suspended, and in full scale Martial law,the highest ranking Military officer would take over,( Commander-in Chief ), or as Head of the Government, thus removing all power from the previous Executive, Legislative, and judicial Branches of Gov't.[l] Martial Law can be used by Gov'ts to enforce their rule over the Public."
   In our case, Barack Obama!
   His insertion of battle ready troops in other parts of the world, such as the Congo, only indicates his intentions to be future President of the "New World Order".We have absolutely no business in their affairs in the Congo. We do have business to take care of at our own Southern border where unbelievable atrocities are being committed there as we speak. It's another sign he wants disruption and violence here in our own country.
   In his own way, he's using violence to further whatever his intention is, but he stands behind the scenes and lets his henchmen handle it. The death of Gaddafi took place because he wasn't there, not because he was. But he WAS standing in the shadowy background watching!!!    Just sayin'.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM BANK OF AMERICA.

I received a Corp. Check from someone for $100.00. Since I was driving right by the place I thought I would drop in and cash it. It was the bank the check was written on.
   I had previously been watching a Fox News report making viewers aware of B.of A. receiving a billion or so dollars of Tax collected Stimulus money to help them through these hard times. I guess turning over the smaller assets of the failed local banks who were competition to B.of A. wasn't enough retribution for the millions of dollars B.of A. contributed to the Democratic/ Socialist campaign in 2008 that put Obama into office. It would have been better spent helping the smaller, Independent banks from losing their assets to Corporations like Bank of America.
   Anyway, to add to their resources, Several of the larger Banking Corporations are joining hands in Pricefixing rates and charges to enhance their reserves. Here's just another way it's being done. Keep in mind that price fixing can be against the law in marketing businesses. It takes away the need to compete for your money and it protects larger Corporate businesses from smaller companies. Another word is collusion.
   I don't have an account there so when I approached the teller she graciously asked me for I.D. and a finger print on the check. After so doing, She informed me that since I didn't have a current account there, I would have to pay $6.00 to cash it. I was surprised at that. I pointed out the check was written on that bank. She answered back that it didn't matter. She then offered to have me establish an account. I declined by telling her she had just given me reason not to! She said that all the major banks are doing it. I replied that, in banking as well as politics, 5 wrongs don't make it right. It was all an amiable exchange.
   It brings me to a point I made in a previous blog. Because of their political affiliations, certain Co.'s are not regulated on behalf of the consumer's interests. Why not? Because that's not who they have to go to for their back door money. That's why.    Just sayin'.

GREAT TIMING : FBI EXPOSES IRAN PLOT RIGHT AFTER EXPOSURE

      Of the "Fast and furious" secret sales of arms by the thousands to the Mexican drug Cartels by the ATF agents under the direction of Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney, a crony friend of Obama's from Chicago.
   Excuse me, doesn't anybody remember Bill Clinton's invasion of Bosnia right after the exposure of the Monica Lewinsky scandal?
   Is Obama taking a page from Clinton's scandalous book?
   The Liberal Socialists wrote the book on Subversion. So why wouldn't they? After all, even the Main Media is getting in on the revelation because they basically have the ability to throw their own mother under the bus to attract viewers whom they have lost in droves to Fox News in the last 15 years. There is a very aggressive attempt to get some credibility back. So even they are joining Fox News in covering this case.
   It's an open and shut case, it's only a matter of the Grand Jury determining how far it goes. There
may be some money laundering at the highest level. I mean Barack Obama. The second Liberal/ Socialist President in recent years to be called "The Teflon President". Obama's greed for power is unconscionably unsatiable. Beware of this man!
   Hang on to your seats everybody. It will soon be 2012!   Just sayin'.

FREE COLLEGE TUITIONS TO FOREIGN STUDENTS.

                                          email me    macgeo2345@hotmail.com
                                     read my blogs  http:/macgeo1234.blogspot.com
 A new Appointee has been picked by Obama to lead the "Free Tuitions for Illegal Aliens" program. Her name is simply "Shakira".
She's some kind of celebrity. Her statement was, when she was introduced, "Mexico has a poverty problem that is fueled by poor education." She went on to state her theory that if we educate them here they will go back and make Mexico an intelligent Nation because education breeds a better country. She's right about that. From there she's wrong. How could she think that anyone in their right mind is going to take their education back to Mexico when the land of opportunity is here?
   The American taxpayer is not in the position to give free Tuitions to anyone because of the condition of our economy right now. For the time being at least, Mexico needs to solve their own problems until we solve our own. Obama's one of them.
   It's not the responsibility of the United States to improve the education of Illegal aliens free of charge for the purpose of improving Mexico's condition. THEY AREN'T GOING BACK!!! Why would they?
   First of all, the Mexicans in this country aren't exactly poor. They display work capabilities in an intensity unequalled by the average american worker. They're pleased as hell to be here either legally or illegally. Although a lot of them do work for minimum wage, they think nothing of working 2 jobs in the course of one day. They do the menial jobs that are shunned by others, but if you talk to the long timers whose parents migrated here years ago, they got their education by paying their own tuitions. Just like we all had to. There's a lot of people of all races out there working for minimum wage. Restaurant workers who work for minimum wage and have to depend on the taxpaying customers for their tip money, just to name a few.
   Obviously she thinks it's free. It's not. The colleges and Universities still get their money. Except our generous Administration is paying for it while the bulk of our college age kids are taking Sabaticals or leave from  educational facilities because they can't afford to pay tuition fees.
   We underestimate the resilliance of the Mexican Immigrants. I have no objection to them being here  for educational means. But because of their work ethics they are no poorer that the average legal American. They're here! Legally or illegally. But let them acquire education without fear of being sent back to Mexico.  Let them pay their way like the rest of us. They'll do it and they'll be proud to achieve it. They may have to also delay their education plans along the way too. So be it. Don't deny them the opportunity. The Mexicans that have worked alongside me always more than proved their worth, and they made productive tax paying dollars while doing it.
   If the economy doesn't allow for legal Americans to get their tuitions paid and they have to delay their education for a while, then let everybody suffer the same consequences. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor when times are good, but they need to suffer the hard times when they come like the rest of us. The Immigrants that built this nation didn't get a free ride. They did what they had to do.
   I'm learning to know these people. They're good family oriented folks who only want to be like the rest of us. I feel privileged when they invite us into their home. We need them to remind us of our own forgotten family values that have been lost along the way in the last few decades.   Just sayin'.

OPINING ON THE OCTOMOM

It's not for me to condemn the Octomom for the bizarre behavior she's displaying. I think any Psychologist would agree she's a few degrees off Magnetic North. But the children are to be considered here. She "is what she is" mentally. Obviously her plan of getting rich didn't work out exactly as she planned monetarily. Nobody's going to change who she is or raise her intelligence to that of "Genius".
   Forget that. She'll do what she's going to do, including abiding by the wishes of other's not much brighter than her, who would think they can make money on her misgivings.
   The children are a different story. They will grow to understand, sadly, what she has done. She'll have to handle that when the day comes.
   So how do we help them? By reminding them of it? By letting them be misguided by whatever comes their way with Society standing by watching without helping? I don't know about you Bro, but I think we have ample Agencies and Religious groups that could at least be the watchdogs over what's going to happen to them in the future as they grow.
   As fellow human beings we are morally obligated to help them. I know what it was like growing up in a family of 11 with just a mother to do it.
   At least help the children.
   Do you hear me George Soros, or Warren Buffet, or Bill Gates?   Just sayin'.

I COUNT MY BLESSINGS INSTEAD OF MONEY. THE REASON IS.......

     Because when I'm out of money, I can still rely on my blessings to give me safe haven from the mounting debt that I and many others are having these days..... It's been a trying year for me in particular.
   I was coasting along, working most days at my occupation of Handyman with only Diabetes to worry about as far as health is concerned, when a friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is the same age as me so, as he explained to me the symptoms that led to his diagnosis, I decided to pick a family doctor I knew and saw most days at Starbucks in Mt Vernon Wa..  I felt I'd be comfortable with him. He immediately suspected through blood tests and urine samples there could be a prostate problem and referred me to a Urologist for further tests. The tests proved positive for Prostate Cancer.
   It happened just before Christmas in 2010 and pretty much wiped out our plans of going through the   Holiday season with just the normal things in life to worry about. We made it though, although the enthusiasm certainly wasn't there. I usually would do what I thought was an appreciable job of lighting up my house with outside lights and lit decorations for the neighbors to enjoy as well as ourselves. I didn't do it that time.
   I wasn't looking forward to the treatments that lay ahead but after reflecting back to several years before, my oldest daughter Kim aged 46, had been diagnosed with Leukemia and underwent a long 5 months of treatment in Vancouver General Hospital, I found myself travelling back and forth from Mt. Vernon, Wa. almost every day until they had it turned around to the point they could send her home to Vernon, B.C. She was very brave through all of it and always had faith she would be okay.
   It kept us all on our toes, but she had been cured of the most curable kind and we were all thankful for that. She remains free of the disease today and hopefully forever in human terms. Remembering that caused me to reason, Why not me? It's my turn.
   During the time that I was doing the drive to Vancouver to visit Kim, My son, Allan, 48,who had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor, suffered a paralyzing stroke and was hospitalized in Everett, Wa., which lays in the opposite direction from Mt. Vernon as Vancouver, B.C..
 Putting on 250 to 300 miles per day and working during the day besides became a routine thing. But I don't regret it.
   Allan passed away peacefully in a nursing home near where I live in the Spring of 2009. We held hands and I said the Lord's Prayer to him. He died in peace several hours later.
  Back to the present. My radiation treatments were scheduled and since my condition was considered moderate, I would receive 44 treatments of the latest method of applying radiation. No chemotherapy was required with this method concerning me. Chemotherapy was administered as well to some.
   I was delighted to find the technicians and Doctors were a pleasure to be treated by and they handled every patient with the greatest of care. They are definitely a special kind of folks with more than enough compassion to go around. The whole ward is that way.
   The treatments were totally without major discomfort and I actually looked forward to each day.
I missed them when it was finished. I mean the atmosphere and the people, including the patients.
   Confident I was on the mend, I was looking forward to getting back to work, but that wasn't to happen.  Three weeks after that, I got up one morning and without testing my blood, took my usual shot of insulin. I became dizzy and unsteady on my feet. My wife had left to babysit our new Grandbaby in Bellingham and I became a little worried so I called 911. They were there in about 2 minutes and after checking my blood, discovered I had a reading of 36. "You should be out cold by now", remarked one of the medics.
   They whisked me off to the hospital and wasted no time transferring me to E.R.
   During the tests they discovered an enzyme in my blood indicating my heart was under stress. This is a warning of possible blood flow interruption. An Angiogram ensued and sure enough, there were a total of 3 complete blockages in the main aorta and a partial one near the top left portion of my heart.
   So here we go again!!!
   Eventually I was transferred to Providence Hospital where a very fine doctor performed 3 stent implants. I feel fine now and guess what? the Diabetes I've been treating for many years seems to have gone away. No one knows exactly why, but I can tell you It's been a modern day miracle in anyone's eyes who believe in modern technology and God. I do, and all the friends from Starbucks in Mount Vernon who prayed for me know it too. They come from all walks of life and all different Religions, But they prayed for me anyway, regardless and in intensity. I learned something there!
   It proves one thing to me. You don't have to belong to one faith to believe someone's up there watching and listening. I'm living proof. Believe in one God, regardless of religion.
   I'm not finished this story yet, unfortunately.
   Three weeks after I had my stents inserted, my wife began feeling ill and dizzy much the way I had felt, so I didn't hesitate calling the Aid car once again. They whisked her off to the hospital and she showed signs of having a heart attack. I panicked inside for a short while because if there's anything I don't want her to do is pass away before me, having lost two sons already. She turned out to be fine after a battery of all kinds of tests. She's doing just fine now. The doctors think it was one of those things brought on by anxiety.
   All I need now is work. It's great to be alive. Art Linkleiter said when he turned 93, "It's better to be over the hill than under it."       Just sayin'.

WHEN WILL GOV"T REGULATE ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS?

                                              email me      macgeo2345@hotmail.com
                                         read my blogs    http:/macgeo1234.blogspot.com
As I watch the financial news where the experts attempt to analyze what went wrong with the economy, I hear them state that the consumer must start spending to stimulate the growth. My question is, Where will the consumer get the money from to spend it?
   I also hear some expressing, more accurately I think, that the banks loaned more money to the buyers than they could afford to pay back. In the housing market it is definitely true. They first convinced the Federal Gov't, which it had no business doing, to give guarantees to the various Lenders backing the loans, should something go wrong with the transaction down the road. in order to do this they had to form Gov't agencies to govern the guarantees they would do for the individual applications for the loans. As the applications progressed, the Lenders would investigate the credit of the individual applying for the loan. Once they were satisfied the applicant qualified for the loan, it would be  forwarded to one of 2 Federal Agencies for backing of the approval. Those 2 Agencies were Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. They were much the same except the first was for non Veterans and the second for Veterans. Special provisions were afforded for Veterans because they had been placed, or willing to be placed, in harms way for the good of their country. I'm not clear on what the exceptions were.
There were different ways these loans could be managed and I'll try to clarify them. The first is the most sensible because once established, the payment stays the same throughout the full term of the contract.Neither the Lender or the buyer can change it unless agreed to by both parties. This means then, that although your payment remains the same, your wages can increase over a period of time and the payments can become easier to make and life can become a little more affordable for other things.  The one I've just described is definitely the best for everyone involved. The potential for loss to anyone is the least. It's referred to as a fixed rate mortgage. All the parties involved can come out winners. In that case a substantial or at least reasonable down payment is required to assure credibilty.
   From here on in it gets more risky for the buyer. Lesser or no down payment is required.
   The provisions introduced here are good for the Realtor because it allows them to market more houses, therefore more people qualify for loans. The Lenders make more money because they lend more. But the home buyer's risk gets greater since he can't be guaranteed raises to correspond with the increased payments over the coming years. It's referred to as the Adjustable Rate Mortgage.or ARM.
This allows the buyer to qualify for a larger loan because the Lender is allowed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae to lower the interest rate under the condition it gets raised a few years down the road to equal or exceed the original rate for buyers of a Fixed Rate Mortgage. After 5 years or so in the agreement, the ARM contract will definitely accellerate to the point it is decidedly higher than a Fixed Rate contract. It's a "Pay now or Pay Later" kind of arrangement.
   This would all be fine except we, as consumers, aren't assured of job security, raises in income, protection by regulated rises in the consumer price index or inflation, all of which are totally out of the buyer's control.
   So for a while, too long a while I might add, the Realtor, the Lenders, the Mortgage Co.'s and Fannie Mae including Freddie Mac were all in bed together making inflated money on the backs of the consumers. It was obvious to any economist that someday the much too large bubble was gonna burst. Well it did and with a huge bang that we're still hearing today. This dangerously created a demand for more houses due to the relaxed lending laws. The demand allowed the Realtors to inflate the prices because of supply and demand. By manipulating the banks into lending more money to increase their own profit, The housing construction also flourished due to demand. The race was on. Creative lendin pursued. No body glanced ahead to see what was going to happen.
   So who could have prevented this from happening? The Federal  Gov't, if they had spent more time regulating on behalf of the consumer instead of guaranteeing profits no matter what for the Financial groups I've previously mentioned.
   When I vote for a politician I expect him or her to represent my interests and protect us from monetary harm too. They haven't done that nor have they showed any signs of doing it.
    I commend Bill O'Reilly for coming down on Barney Buttbanger for mishandling Fanny Mae the way he did. He's just another two bit Socialist politician who fools other buttbangers that he's looking after their interests when he really isn't.
   If there isn't regulation passed tying Real Estate prices to the inflation rate the way they calculate it now, It's gonna happen all over again.
   Just so you know, The cost of food and everyday commodities are not considered in the cost of inflation. They are placed in the cost of  consumer index to make the rate of inflation look like it's under control. That's the way I understand it, anyway.
 Until the Gov't decides to protect the consumer through proper regulation  more, as we elect it to do, things aren't gonna change. The Success of this Nation is, and always has been, on the backs of the consumer. Regulators need to have that more in mind than protecting businesses. Don't hesitate to remind your Congressman.        Just sayin'.

I DON"T ALWAYS WANT TO TALK POLITICS BUT....

     When I first started doing blogs, my intention was to express myself on many things and not just politics. However, with the world becoming in more disarray and the U.S. being torn apart by the misjudgement of Socialist politics, I don't feel I should stand silently by and watch the world be taken to Hell by an incompetent man such as our current President is.
   Growing up in Canada during the latter part of the Great Depression is not a pleasant memory. It was a learning lesson that prepared me for facing politics in the future. Having an alcoholic father who never really recovered from being a machine gunner in WW1 made it more difficult. Welfare was next to none and with him never making it home with a paycheck caused a lot of grief and desperation for my mother with 11 children to raise on practically nothing. But she did it, Being of American pioneer stock before getting married to my Canadian Dad and raised in Eureka, Mont. by pioneering parents from Jackson, Minnesota. My mother was 4 in 1904 and they traveled by Wagon the last 85 miles of their journey. It took them 3 days to do it. She graduated at 18 and there she met my Dad.
   It was a damn tough life in anyone's estimation. Often times we were so stretched out for food that the Quaker oats we had for breakfast was made into paddies and fried in bacon grease to enhance the flavor to be served to us for dinner.
   There were more times than once my mother sat in our large kitchen by the window gazing out at the street, watching us eat while she herself went without. She was basically a strong lady but every once in a while she would burst out crying and wouldn't tell us why. It would hurt us as much as it did her.
But needing her strength the way we did, It also frightened us. She was our only post we had to lean on, since our Dad was never home to help. When he seldom showed up either drunk or hung over anyway, he was just another mouth to feed.
   As the children grew up they left that town and only returned for short periodic visits. They all entered the U.S. with the dream of bettering themselves and they did. At the age of 39, I came too.
   I was successful enough in Canada but since I had always yearned to know what it was like to be out from the shadow of the Queen's rule and live in a true Democracy with a Constitution and Bill of rights, I left it behind. So here I am.
   Several years before though, knowing that the CBC had a very Labor oriented, Socialist point of view, I would get up early in the morning and tune in to the Spokane radio station for their news and to listen to Ronald Reagan's morning show. It was several years before he became a Republican  Presidential candidate.
   Reflecting back I remembered the Socialist NDP rhetoric that was used on CBC (owned by the Queen of England, I learned later) during election campaigns.
   Darned if I wasn't hearing the same Socialist rhetoric being used by the Democratic Party down here. It wasn't difficult to decide who I was going to vote for.
   I also realized that during the first 20 yr'.s here, there were no radio stations to tell the other side of the story in the Northwest either. NPR was a carbon copy of the CBC.
   I felt awfully alone during that period with no media to defend the right or Conservative side of politics. So 15 years ago Fox News came on the scene to actually tell the other side of the story,
I was overjoyed to hear it. I'll bet anyone who lived in a Socialist or Communist country on the underprivileged side will reiterate what I've pointed out. Thank you Fox News for 15 enjoyable years  in the Northleft West. I ask that anyone who reads this will at least listen to the "Other Side of the Story"       Just sayin'.

TEA PARTY COMPARED TO WALL ST. PROTESTORS

   I'm surprised to have heard Greta Van Susteren's comparison of the 2 groups. She says there's no difference between the two. There truly is!! The unique thing about being Wall Street Protesters is, they don't want to pay for anything.They just demand it, and if they don't get it, they simply don their masks, break some windows, rape some women, burn some cars and assault some policemen. All the while Obama's community organizers are out there along with Michael Moore, cheering them on!
   I say there's a big political difference. The Tea Party IS the once used to be "Middle class."
I've been listening to the Tea Party groups for the past year.
   The tea Party consists of people who were all earning an honest living in the private sector before the recession began. Starting with the fact that their appearance and behavior has been peaceful and in earnest to the point that they all, without exception, have a legitimate complaint the way the Obama   Administration and the Democratic Congress has handled the Gov't's affairs. Also the way they bailed out the people who put them in office, and will put them back in office in the upcoming 2012 elections.      
        Those are the Occupy protesters (previously known as "The Wall Street Protesters") made up of bums, homeless who don't work anyway and felons pardoned out of jail and brought in by Obama's Community Organizers.
The Tea Party people are simply the people who look and act like you and I. Who, when they were working, walked into or drove up to Starbucks every day and drove to work after that. The recession started and they began to slowly get laid off until they filled out the employment lines to the point of overflowing. Then they depleted their ready cash until it was gone. after that they maxed out their credit cards. Soon they were opening their billfolds to find it was near empty. Now it is empty.
They come from all walks of life including businesses they had of their own. They're only wanting to go back to life as they once lived it.
They earnstly went to work every day and looked forward to going home to dinner. They never picked a community organizer or corrupt Union leader to represent them. They spoke as a general group with no political ties.
    A lot of them had voted for Obama and his Cronies in 2008, convinced he would make the economy better. He lied through his teeth knowing he really didn't know how to make it any better. He dishonestly knew that. Their abandonment of voting for Obama has left a big hole in his future support. So he's out there trying to refill his voter support by way of the Wall Street Protesters.
   The Wall Street protestors are not the same. They have been generated into a fury by the Communist minded Community Organizers whose sole purpose is to disrupt America's economy even more with the false notion they will benefit somehow and make their lives better at somebody else's expense.
   They have no knowledge of politics or the creation of money through working for a living. Most of these people are ones who never really worked for a living when the times were good.
A lot of misinformed, homeless people who, when interviewed by reporter's from Fox News, didn't even know why they were there. They just believed that things couldn't get any worse. They are mainly out for the joy of having something to do with their time, so why not this?
Some have misguided philosophies brought on by Leftist teachers and College professors. NPR can share part of that misinformation.
   I bet it'll be hard to find a homeless person who isn't participating in this organized confusion.
   They're victims of wrong information through listening to Barack Obama and his phony Cronies.
   Obama is smart enough to keep himself at arms length by using his thugs to spread the fuel of rebellion.
 He cares not about the affairs of the United States and it's economy as long as he can achieve his goal of being the leader of a much larger group. He thinks he can achieve that by total world disruption.
   George H Bush made a remark in a speech to a group in the Skull & Bones Society. He said Barack Obama is convincing enough to be the Leader of the New World Order if he plays his cards right.
   What a scary thought that is!!    
   If you took the Tea Party people and put them back to work tomorrow, they'd be producing productive dollars just as vigorously as they were before they were laid off. They weren't laid off because of their performance. It was because the economy took a tumble.
    Put the Wall Street protesters to work at private productive dollar jobs and they would be back on the street within a month. Why?? Because they're a bunch of bums to begin with. They're used to living off the efforts of someone else. That's really why they're there!! Their objective is to crap on the street and rob a few places. They're Obama's REAL army soldiers!
    Imagine being a Tea Party member who just got laid off from a respectable job as a consultant, accountant or policeman and have someone like Eric Holder refer to you as an idiot for complaining about the way Obama's Administration is handling things. Particularly after you just voted Obama into office the year before. And now seeing him encourage and support the Wall Street Protesters. How dare he??       Just sayin'.

DOES OBAMA HAVE SOLDIERS OF REVOLUTION OUT THERE?

                                                   email me      macgeo1234@hotmail.com

   Read this and then you tell me.
   From the very first time I saw and heard Obama speak, I was suspicious of this man's behavior and actions. To me, he didn't seem authentic. I have taken several sales courses in the past for the purpose of selling goods.
   There are several different ways you can learn the trade. First though, you must master the art of public speaking. It used to be the art of reading from a printed dialogue in front of you and although everyone knew you were reading it, you did it so skillfully that if the subject was good, it was like you were adlibbing straight from your mind. The better you did this, the more intently the audience listened.
   Then, they perfected teleprompters that were placed away from you in various locations so you could read as if you were truly adlibbing and glancing around at the listeners somewhere in the audience.
   Speakers can practice this to the point you don't even think of them reading it. They become that good.
   I instantly realized Obama had become a master of this method.
   I remarked to my wife at the time, "Now there's the greatest BS'er I've ever seen! He's gonna get in as Senator whether he's a Chicago thug or not." I knew what he was saying was written dialogue and not the whole truth, but he was convincing enough in his delivery to eventually go on in about four years more and win the Presidency of the United States. My frustration only got worse.
   Knowing this man had achieved a law degree and specialized in nothing else in his life but organizing people, I also realized how dangerous he could be with groups of people who believed him even when he wasn't telling the truth. To add to his lingo he would sometimes back his remarks with facts and figures that made it even more convincing. If you didn't research his statements, you would never know this guy wasn't spreading the truth at all.
   He wants to be Leader of the World so bad that he'll use any means of getting there.
   Have you noticed that where there's an uprising any where on the face of this earth, he's putting himself out in front making subtle remarks supporting the crowds doing the rioting or demonstrating? It doesn't matter what their cause may be, he wants them to be his followers. He's recruiting, Folks!
   With the exception of the Tea Party who knows better, he's cheering them on as if he's their unofficial leader.
   If this man doesn't start regaining his popularity in the upcoming elections, there's nothing he won't do in my estimation. he is overjoyed with the unrest  taking place in the world.
   With the protests spreading in the U.S. right now, he has his allies from the Marxist side spurring on the demonstrators. So far I've identified Francis Fox Piven, Van Jones, both openly professed communists and several other avowed supporters from the past including some main Media commentators stirring up the crowds. Take notice of how cleverly he uses them so he can stay anonymous in the mix.
   He has future dreams of leading them all when he thinks the time is ripe.
   I would be surprised if he doesn't attempt to suspend elections in one way or the other if he sees that he's about to fail in his next bid for the Presidency. Don't underestimate this man!!!    Just sayin'.

WHERE SHOULD THE SYMPATHY LIE, KNOX OR KERCHER?

                                                email                macgeo1234@hotmail.com

   I watched the last days of the Amanda Knox trial. In so doing, I too began to feel sad for her and the way she was behaving. People in the Gallery were weeping with her and for her as she presented the plea for her life. It truly was sad.
   I decided as I watched it that there was no longer any point in hoping that justice would come to the parents of Meredith Kercher. It seemed like everyone had swayed to the side of Amanda's innocence.
   I really don't believe she did the actual carving on this girl, I also believe that she was sorry for any participation in this drug induced, sex orgy that took place that night, and not just for the predicament it placed her in. I believe there was no use in further pursuance of the truth. She's a pitiful wreck of a thing and it would prove nothing to condemn her to further punishment whether she took part in the orgy or stood back and let it happen without her or her boyfriend attempting to stop it because of their drug induced condition. So it's good that they let her go. It's clear that her family is surrounded by a well off, Upper class group of people who could obviously afford to be with her efforts physically and at home, including the reporters on the left who, although they really knew nothing of the facts but just liked her personally. She'll be treated like a victim when she's back here and no doubt recover her family's losses by starring in her own ficticious movie. We all know what Hollywood is capable of doing when it comes to making a buck.
   But I wonder when and if Meredith Kercher's family will receive the sympathy for their loss of an innocent child who only wanted to to do well for herself and mind her own business. To enjoy the pleasure of being an exchange student in romantic Italy was no doubt a dream come true. A mere child who thought she was in friendly, safe company. How terrified and alone she must have felt!
   Will this case be closed or pursued because of this acquittal? I hope it will someday come to a satisfactory end so the Kercher's can soon end the torment of wondering who slaughtered their child in the course of satisfying their own lustful needs.
   I pray for you, Amanda. But I'm wishing and praying even harder for Meredith Kercher and her parents. I hope they can achieve forgiveness for you as well, regardless of whether you had a hand in it or not. The Kerchers are the only true victims here.
   I am a parent of a son who was 30 years old when he was murdered by a motorcycle gang in Canada 24 years ago. That case was never solved either. I know their feeling.   Just sayin'.

THE TRUTHFULNESS AND SERIOUSNESS OF MY BLOGS IS THIS:

                                                 email me      macgeo1234@hotmail.com

 If you want to know how much of your life has passed you by, It's simple to do. Just research the length of time the average male and female human in America lives.
   In my case I surprised myself when I did the math. Having been a Surveyor and Engineering advocate for a good part of my life, I feel qualified to feel I'm quite accurate at doing that.
   Take the years of your life you've already lived, in which case mine is 75, divide it with the amount of years you would be happy to live, in my case 80. Now multiply it by a 100. It disapointedly to me, ended up being 93.75. It means that, theoretically speaking, my life has expired by that much.
   It means then, that if I even live to be 80, my lifespan is only left with 6.25 % to appreciate having.
   So what else does that tell me to do? Well I know!! It means if I believe in God, and I do, I need to think more seriously about what's right and what's wrong in my thoughts and behavior. I also thought that if I wanted to express what I believe, it should be told. A good way to do it would be through blogging on the Internet. So I have begun doing that.
   I found that in so doing, it ruffles the feathers of some  people who disagree with my philosophy at times. I consider my friends to be with understanding and open minds. So far they have been, and I love and appreciate them for it. I found in doing this stuff, I also have to do research to be fairly certain I know what I'm writing about otherwise readers will change channels. With the computer being a new technology in my life, I have to be patient in learning it as well. I have computer savvy friends who help me tremendously in that regard and I'm eternally grateful for that.
   I believe in what I write because of the relatively short time there is left for me.
   People can save the contents they think is worth saving and disregard what they don't like.
   I say things as I see them without rose colored glasses. I apologize to anyone who feels hurt by my comments but not because I said them. It's the way I feel.
   An acquaintance who is quite neutral, asked me if I thought about how fiercely dedicated I am to the Conservative movement to the point of being considered a radical? I replied,"What isn't radical about the Liberal/Socialist Agenda being forced on us today? They would certainly be Hypocritical to accuse me of it. It's there Narcissistical  Way."       Just sayin'.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 BLACK POLITICIANS, OBAMA & CAIN

                                                email me     macgeo1234@hotmail.com

 Let's take Obama first. A Marxist, born of a man from a country considered third world and with a totally foreign philosophy and standard of life. Raised in Indonesia and tutored by Grandparents who didn't agree with the American way, although they were white Americans. It's a real mystery to me why they allowed a disconnected father from Kenya to have a choice of him being raised a Muslim. His mother obviously wasn't connected with him much either since she preferred not to take on the responsibility of motherhood.
   Granted, he attended American colleges where he learned the art of Community organizing and public speaking. He became a master of both. He never writes his speeches but no one is more schooled than he at reading them on the ever present teleprompters.He carefully avoided any association with the Military. all the while connecting himself with various leftist groups, even openly Communist ones and militant, black organizations.
  He choose to grow up in Chicago politics where thuggery is so bad there's jokes about it all around the world, let alone just the United States. It still dominates the State of Illinois  today.
   He appointed one communist related thug after another to his Administration, only for some being so  far out of touch with the American way they were rejected by his own leftist kind. Van Jones is one prime example of that. Tim Geitner, an IRS tax evader and caught doing it, appointed successfully to the position of running the IRS right now.
   He actually organized the now de-funded voter group proven to be so corrupt 2 years ago called ACORN. They have since started out again and will be operating "under the radar" so to speak, with a different name.
   Now lets look at a very successful African American, born and raised in the good old U.S. named
Herman Cain. Born in Memphis Tenn. of hard working parents whose mother was a cleaning woman and a father who was raised on a  farm and also worked as a Chauffeur and Janitor.
   They preferred hard  work as a means of pursuing the American dream rather than the dirt farms they grew up on. The parents had 2 dreams. The first was to own their home. The second was to put their two sons through college. They achieved them both. With faith in God, Herman went on to receive a Degree in Math from Morehouse college in 1967. His brother graduated from Morris Brown college.
   Herman went on to receive a Master's degree in computer science from Purdue University while working for the Dept. of the Navy. He then proceeded to be Regional V. Pres. of Pilsbury's div. of Burger King. He eventually went on to become Pres. and CEO of Godfather's Pizza. In so doing he brought them from the point of bancrupcy to a competitive, profitable Co.
   He, along with his successful management team proceeded to buy out Godfather's Pizza.
   Who do you think could lead the U.S. out of a recession in this time of need? Big spender Obama who's trying to achieve a second term by buying votes with the taxpayer's future tax dollars or Herman Cain who still believes in the power of God and has the ability to keep this country in the hands of true Democracy and take us out of this mess we're in now?         Just sayin'.
