Make Mine Freedom (1948) ~ Very Telling!
I am RE-POSTING this message for my new readers and to remind everybody else what we are fighting to protect. Folks this is the American Way. It's not left nor right. It's about our Constitutional FREEDOM which applies to U.S. Citizens of every RACE. This cartoon was made in 1948 and the exact same sentiment applies today! I am so blown away by this message. I highly recommend you take a moment to watch this 9 minute cartoon. I promise, you too will connect to its message! This message is so spot on it's kind of eerie to actually be living through it right now 60 yrs later. I have taken the following from the YouTube description:
When anybody preaches this unity, tries to pit one of us against the other through class warfare, race hatred or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us from our FREEDOM and destroy our very lives! And we know what to do about it...

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) Adamantly AGAINST The "Deem and Pass" Strategy Back In 2003! All Of You Democrats Are A PIECE OF WORK!!! You Are A Bunch Of HYPOCRITES And SLEAZEBAGS!
Our country has been wiping our backsides with 100s of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars this past year with NOTHING substantial to show for it. Right now there are several munipalities across the United States that are CLOSING SCHOOLS literally shutting them down because they can't afford the cost. So ENOUGH with the "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." attitude. When ALL the while the American public get's ROYALLY SCREWED OVER in the end.

HAPPY St. Patrick's Day! CHEERS!!! =)
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."
~Irish Blessing
May you be poor in misfortunes,
and rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness,
from this day forward,
May good luck be your friend,
In whatever you do,
And may trouble be always,
A stranger to you.
~Irish Blessing
May you always have work for your hands to do,
May your pockets hold always a coin or two,
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane,
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain,
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
~Irish Blessing
May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.
~Irish Blessing
May the friendships you make be those which endure and all of your Grey clouds be small ones for sure. And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray, may a song fill your heart every step of the way.
~Irish Blessing
May the Irish hills caress you.

President Obama's "PROPOSALS" vs The ACTUAL Legislative Bills
What really pisses me off is that once again there is NO BILL to SUBSTANTIATE President Obama's "PROPOSAL". I thought the former Bush administration was bad. Well the Obama administration has proven me WRONG by their conniving, ruthless, self-serving actions! And I am so sick and tired of hearing the democrats say repeatedly well the Bush administration did it for 8 years or this has been going on for decades or this is how legislation get's passed. BULLSH*T! So you mean to tell me that you are PROUD to be figuratively raping and pillaging the American people by abusing your power like every other administration? Change? Really now... Let me tell you right now that you are going to go down as the WORST administration in the history of this country. Most especially for deceiving your voters so egregiously.
America, let me give it to you straight...
What I don't understand is how the heck can the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) accurately draw up the cost if the latest "PROPOSAL" has not been fully drafted into an actual BILL! Moreover, by the time the CBO delivers their data to Nancy Pelosi all of Congress will ONLY HAVE -->>1 HOUR<<-- to read over 2,000 pages of legal crapola and then VOTE on our BEHALF!
It's like me telling you to BLINDLY agree to a 2,000 page CONTRACT that's going to cost you $1 TRILLION or more without having read the details. Would you eagerly SIGN on the dotted line knowing you are going to be LEGALLY BINDED to this agreement?
Let me give you an example. Let's say you walk into an auto dealership and the salesperson tells you that you are automatically approved to purchase a car. But you need to sign the contract FIRST without having read it. You are so excited you agree to sign on the dotted line because you finally get to buy a car. You see your focus is only on buying a car. The salesperson and manager smoozes with you for a while catering to your every need ie; thirst and hunger. Once they see that you are satisfied, they tell you that your car is ready for you to drive it off the lot. They hand you a key chain as a momento and escort you to the parking lot. To your SHOCK and HORROR, it is a beat up old CLUNKER. You yell at them "This is not what I wanted." and they kindly tell you with a smile "You said YOU WANTED A CAR, right? Well that's what we gave you, A CAR". And a few weeks later you receive a letter in the mail that reads your auto payment is going to be $1,000 per month for 30 years. The letter does not tell you what your purchase price is nor the interest rate you are paying and you can't understand the 2,000 page CONTRACT you signed. Now how the heck would that make you feel? Seriously, wouldn't you feel like a SMUCK for being FOOLED by a fast talking salesman who just ruined your life? Well that is precisely what this government is trying to do to 300 MILLION AMERICANS!
When you bought your car, didn't you want to know what the purchase price was going to be, what the interest payment on your loan was going to be and how much your monthly payment was going to be??? You didn't just walk into an auto dealership and agree to any car right? No, you probably looked for the RIGHT CAR for you, right? and not only did it have to run great and look great to you but you also had to be able TO AFFORD it right?

What Exactly Is CO2? It's Good To Know About What It Is 'They' Are Trying To Scare Us With...!!! RE-POST From 12/11/09
People in postions of power and influence would have us all believe that we need to reduce CO2 levels. In fact, all talk has been based on reducing CO2 emissions. But what exactly is CO2?
"Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars, which may either be consumed in respiration or used as the raw material to produce other organic compounds needed for plant growth and development. It is produced during respiration by plants, and by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend either directly or indirectly on plants for food. It is thus a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels or the burning of vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Small amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted from volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs and geysers and by the dissolution of carbonates in crustal rocks.
There is about fifty times as much carbon dissolved in the oceans in the form of CO2 and carbonic acid, bicarbonate and carbonate ions as exists in the atmosphere. The oceans act as an enormous carbon sink, and have taken up about a third of CO2 emitted by human activity. Gas solubility decreases as the temperature of water increases and therefore the rate of uptake from the atmosphere decreases as ocean temperatures rise.
Furthermore, plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis, also called carbon assimilation, which uses light energy to produce organic compounds (cellulose, lipids, and various proteins) by combining carbon dioxide and water. Plants also emit CO2 during respiration, and so the majority of plants and algae, which use C3 photosynthesis, are only net absorbers during the day. Mature forests are valuable carbon sinks, helping maintain balance in the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, and crucially to life on earth, photosynthesis by phytoplankton consumes dissolved CO2 in the upper ocean and thereby promotes the absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere."

Tucker: The Man And His Dream
The Big 3 automakers with the help of government and the media SHUT DOWN Tucker Motor Corp. This may also shed some light on why our government (both parties) bailed out the U.S. automakers. Preston Tucker's character is played by Jeff Bridges. I highly recommend that you watch this movie! The movie clip I am sharing is the end of the movie where Preston Tucker gives his closing argument in court. He was being charged with fraud by the Securities Exchange Commission. I have typed a transcript of his closing argument. His words were very prophetic!

European Industries Hoarding Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits! This Is Precisely Why Cap & Trade Is A Useless & Ineffective Piece Of Legislation!
It's right there in the title itself, Cap the pollution and Trade the excess. So basically what all the Global Warming nuts with Al Gore at the helm shouting "Cap and Trade, it MUST be passed." haven't bothered reading the legislation and don't have a clue about how it's supposed to work. Well perhaps that is true of the Global Warming followers. However, Al Gore owns one of the trading companies that would make bank if this bill got passed. It's sad to say that Al Gore used his credibilty to influence the world mainly so that he could benefit from the policies he was promoting. He is a con-artist and this is all a sham!
Saved permits can be used to meet future targets to cut emissions WITHOUT REDUCING POLLUTION.

Gratefulness: The Seeds of Discouragement Cannot Take Root In A Grateful Heart. What Are You Grateful For Today?
A night without lodging
[source: Osho International]
Winter and summer are both needed for growth. Once this idea settles in the heart, then each moment of life is of gratitude. Let this become your meditation and prayer: thank God every moment -- for laughter, for tears, for everything. Then you will see a silence arising in your heart that you have not known before. That is bliss.
The first thing is to accept life as it is. Accepting it, desires disappear. Accepting life as it is, tensions disappear, discontent disappears; accepting it as it is, one starts feeling very joyful -- and for no reason at all!
When joy has a reason, it is not going to last long. When joy is without any reason, it is going to be there forever. It happened in the life of a very famous Zen woman. Her name was Rengetsu.... Very few women have attained to the Zen ultimate. This one is one of those rare women.
She was on a pilgrimage and she came to a village at sunset and begged for lodging for the night, but the villagers slammed their doors. They were against Zen. Zen is so revolutionary, so utterly rebellious, that it is very difficult to accept it. By accepting it you are going to be transformed; by accepting it you will be passing through a fire, you will never be the same again. Traditional people have always been against all that is true in religion. Tradition is all that is untrue in religion. So those must have been traditional Buddhists in the town, and they didn't allow this woman to stay in the town; they threw her out.
It was a cold night, and the old woman was without lodging, and hungry. She had to make her shelter underneath a cherry tree in the fields. It was really cold, and she could not sleep well. And it was dangerous too -- wild animals and all. At midnight she awoke -- because of too much cold -- and saw, in the night sky, the fully-opened cherry blossoms laughing to the misty moon. Overcome with the beauty, she got up and bowed down in the direction of the village, with these words:
Through their kindness in refusing me lodging I found myself beneath the blossoms on the night of this misty moon... She feels grateful. With great gratitude she thanks those people who refused her lodging; otherwise she would be sleeping under an ordinary roof and she would have missed this blessing -- these cherry blossoms, and this whispering with the misty moon, and this silence of the night, this utter silence of the night. She is not angry, she accepts it. Not only accepts it, welcomes it -- she feels grateful.
One becomes a buddha (enlightened) the moment one accepts all that life brings, with gratitude.
