Long, Marlene
 
We can’t change the past but, we can learn from it and put an end to the charade.  Too bad there are so many uninformed voters who don’t know or understand the facts history presents to us.  Neither Truman or McCarthy knew what was going on with Roosevelt and his cabinet, when they took over.
 
If you step back and analyze what the NAACP, ACORN, and their related organizations are doing and how they are convincing all the minorities “do as they say, not as they do”.  None of them are against ‘slavery’, ‘bondage’, or ‘serfs’, they just call it another name, “government welfare and subsistence”.   Same game, just a different name.
 
The movie North and South points out the exact differences between ‘poor Northern workers’ and ‘Southern slave workers’.   Northern workers did not receive a just wage for the work performed, they had freedom, some education if they wanted,  but could not enjoy it and had to worry about shelter, food and clothing.  Southern slaves, received no money but, were given a roof, food and clothes, they had no freedom, prevented from getting any education to improve themselves  but, were free from worrying about shelter, food, clothes, and having to learn knowledge .  The difference was management and individual determination to excel with an education.
 
Poor management in the South received all the publicity, while good management went unobserved.  Management in the North was fed by greed and how their workers lived was ignored.  After the Civil War the North treated the Southerners like they treated their workers, without care or consideration. 
 
It wasn’t until the Unions in the North fought Northern management that the poor started to get paid for their labors and skills.  But, eventually the Unions became greedy and no longer served the workers.  As exhibited today unions have forced the shutdown of many great organizations which resulted in an unemployment problem.  Everywhere greed and personal power excels, there is a breakdown of society.  We have advanced to the stage were education is governed and limited by the government.  Which brings us back to the beginning of a poor uneducated mass society and a minority aloof wealthy/controlling class (authoritarian class).  Otherwise known as the dictators and their subjects.  
 
I took a class in International Foreign Policy back in the early 70’s and studied how the European Nations were embracing socialism and their agendas.  Today the US is well into doing the same thing, and at a faster pace.
 
When we look at the “axis of idiots” we only see the figureheads.  We need to stop and consider how they got there and who placed them there. Why are others, in powerful positions not succeeding in suppressing them, yet they claim to be conservatives?   Perhaps the Republican Party does not support a conservative platform.  There has been much thought in that direction over the past 30 years, exhibited by their votes, and deficiency in succeeding to promote a safer and more secure country.  All that has happened in the past, has not been a result of direct actions of the Democratic Party and the socialist movement but, by the lack of initiative, and direct actions of the Republicans to stop it.  Perhaps even the Republican Party has given up totally on all conservative goals and decided to be ‘just an alternative to the Democratic Party’.  In any case, It appears the Tea Party may be the  last bastion of conservative values.
 
That’s my take.

 Subject: RE: The Axis of Idiots
 
WE know this. They are a cabal of Leftists that hire and promote one another. It is deeply   rooted and more insidious than one can imagine.
 
“Blacklisted by History” by M. Stanton Evans is the “untold story of Senator Joe McCarthy.” What started out as the author’s attempt to debunk his mother’s beliefs about McCarthy turned out to be his conversion to his mother’s views.
 
This goes way, way back, from the days of the Roosevelt administration. McCarthy didn't know what he was up against. Today they control the news output of the major media TV broadcasters.
 
 
 The  Axis of Idiots  



From  the Podium:
J. D. Pendry, Retired Sergeant Major, USMC


 

This  retired USMC Sgt. Major has his Stuff together.

Jimmy  Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah  under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to  confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage.  You're the "runner-in-chief."


Bill Clinton, you played ring around  the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a  fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed  responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy  Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately,  they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.


John Kerry, dishonesty is your  most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam ...  Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've  accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq .. You called  Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, and the same words you used to  describe Vietnam . You're a fake! You want to run from Iraq and abandon the  Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq , like Vietnam ,  is another war that you were for, before you were against it.


The  late John Murtha, said our military was broken. He said we can't win  militarily in Iraq .He accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder  without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa . Okinawa ??? And the  Democrats called him their military expert! Maybe he suffered a traumatic  brain injury while he was off building his war hero resume? He was a sad,  pitiable, corrupt, and washed up old fool, not a true Marine. He wouldn't  amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's ass, a phony and a  disgrace.


Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of  being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol  Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned  Southeast Asia to the Communists. Then you wanted to abandon the Iraqis to  the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us!  See Dick run!


Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer,  Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the  Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, to name a few ad nauseam: Every time you  stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that  we went to war because our former President lied, that the war is wrong and  our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic  butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers -  cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on  a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat  the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it on their turf, than later on ours  after they may gain both strength and momentum.


American news media,  the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about  national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become  one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate  the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish  cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are  more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face  Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.


You are America 's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.'  Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us.. Self-serving politics and  terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national  security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers It bothers you that  defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and  your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on  the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will  only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our  Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your  country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our  enemies.


Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with  self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans  could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in  uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to  the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who  are willing to defend it.


Our country has two enemies: Those who want  to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from  within.


Semper Fi,

J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC,  Retired

Who's Really Behind the Mideast Turmoil?

Tunis, Tunisia - Those opposed to radical Islam have been dealt a blow with the killing of opposition figure Chokri Belaid, a well-known defender of human rights i.e., a critic of the ruling Islamist party. The killing is called terrorism.

In conjunction with this was a "fatwa" by an Egyptian "cleric" who said that opponents in Egypt of President Mohamed Morsi should be killed. Apparently a cleric in Tunisia must have issued the same order to the killers of Belaid.

The power behind all the turmoil in Egypt, Iran, Iraq et al are their supposed "spiritual leaders." These are the real bad guys. All others are puppets who bow down to them daily and gleefully carry out their murderous orders. It's all about CONTROL!

Switch over to Syria and we find the White House threatening the government of Syria. This foreign policy does not bode very well for the United States. With these radical governments in place, their minions,  who will self-destruct for a place in heaven, are free to roam where their 'clerics' direct them to conduct horrific acts that are anti-life.

Until the targets of drones are switched to hit these phony terrorist leaders, freedom-loving people everywhere can expect to be hit again and again. And unless we do something about it theyi'll eventually control all of us.

We defeated the evil of Nazism during WWII because we and our allies fought them and restored peace. When are we going to recognize what we have to do?

KFC in China v KFC in the U.S.

Have your heard about the chicken safety concerns in China? The Chinese are now paying proper attention to mislabeled, ill-prepared and counterfeit products. KFC there is under attack by reports of poultry pumped up with excessive antibiotics.  It has damaged the growing popularity of KFC consumption in China.

I note that Shanghai regulators did not fine them nor take further action. Instead, KFC was asked to bolster its supply chain review procedures. A slap on the hand rather than a " We'll make you pay" scenario.

Can you imagine what would happen if this occurred in the U.S.? How many untold millions/billions would KFC be fined? Where would the money from the fines end up? Right in government pocketbooks.

Is it any wonder to those who pay attention why capital has flown the coop in the U.S.?

Op ed letter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer


Editor,

With all due respect to the black soldiers who volunteered for the front lines, and Fred Watts' individual military experience during World War Two's 'Battle of the Bulge", ( "In the heat of battle, the only color that truly mattered was olive drab," Plain Dealer, Sunday, February 3rd,) I think he was a bit fanciful when he said "...the colored guys were the only ones they could depend on to turn this war around." Were they still alive I think General George S. Patton, commanding the U.S.  Third Army , Lt. General William Simpson, commanding the U.S. 9th Army and the pilots of the U.S. Army Air Force XIX TAC Squadron and 8th Air Force would beg to differ.

If you're going to say something, say it right!

Defeating Nazi Terrorism v Islamist Terrorism

The late General George S. Patton said the only way to defeat Nazi terrorism was to kill them.And his Third Army killed plenty of 'em. The same holds true today in the face of Islamist terrorism. And I don't mean oneseys and twoseys by drone.

Why aren't freedom-loving governments nor anyone in Washington taking a public stand on this facing them with force?  "The only way to defeat ...terrorism is to kill them." Enough said? I am led to believe that it is governments that are sponsoring the terrorism. That's why they're not doing anything about killing 'em.

These people know the U.S. isn't going to do anything about it. They'll strike again and again. The concept of the U.N. was a good one. Now it's a farce, a politicized organization of major and mini states pandering for their own selfish motives.

The French recently took action in Mali and are to be congratulated in having the balls to do it. They waited too long however. Actions need to be taken before catastrophes are foisted upon all of us.

IT'S' THE SPENDING STUPID!


Author unknown.

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people we elect. They're certainly not looking out for OUR wallets!!!!!!

We’re "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, etc., yet POTUS wants unlimited credit for spend, spend,l spend.. And, who will he spend on?

In the last years we have provided direct cash aid to:

Hamas - 351 M,
Libya 1.45 B,
Egypt - 397 M,
Mexico - 622 M,
Russia - 380 M,
Haiti - 1.4 B,
Jordan - 463 M,
Kenya - 816 M,
Sudan - 870 M,
Nigeria - 456 M,
Uganda - 451 M,
Congo - 359 M,
Ethiopia - 981 M,
Pakistan - 2 B,
South Africa - 566 M,
Senegal - 698 M,
Mozambique - 404 M,
Zambia - 331 M,
Kazakhstan - 304 M,
Iraq - 1.08 B,
Tanzania - 554 M,

With literally Billions of Dollars and they still hate us!!!!

The followiing paragraphs were authored by M. Tsien.

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income', receive no aid, nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

 Ask yourself why low- tax (14-20%) emerging national economies throughout Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa....and our friends in Russia and Canada, have higher annual growth rates than the United States and Socialist Western Europe.

What do you know about Congo, the 12th largest nation in the world?


Our daughter Kitty is a foreign service officer with US Agency for International Developmenet (USAID) in Congo, the 12th largest country in the world. Our son-in-law is employed by the Consulate there. He sent us the article below by Mark Doyle that pretty much explains what is going on there. I don't know if the maps in the article will reproduce here.
 
Subject: DR Congo's rebel kaleidoscope - map

 

This story includes a nice Oxfam map of the different armed groups operating throughout the Kivus, although, as the story states; “the map, drawn up in late November, was probably out of date almost as soon as it was published. But it does give an idea of the extreme difficulty ordinary civilians have in the region.”

 

Also includes a nice breakdown of why the Kivus are central in these conflicts.

 

DR Congo's rebel kaleidoscope

4 December 2012 Last updated at 20:45 ET

By Mark Doyle BBC International Development Correspondent

 


Congolese Civilians remain at the mercy of a variety of armed groups

While the M23 rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have dominated headlines in recent months, they are just one of more than two dozen armed groups fighting in this resource-rich region.

A new report by the aid agency Oxfam, published along with a remarkable map, shows that the recent unrest in Goma - a strategically important trading city - is just the tip of an iceberg of human suffering.

The M23 rebels, named after a 23 March 2009 failed peace agreement that they claim to want to implement, captured Goma nearly two weeks ago, before withdrawing with their loot to positions just outside the city at the weekend.

Their campaign began in May 2012 when they mutinied from the national army. According to the United Nations, they had active assistance from Rwanda - which Kigali denies.

The M23 threat to the provincial capital Goma shuffled some of the military cards in areas far from the border region they control because United Nations and Congolese government army troops moved to Goma to counter them.

This left a security vacuum in other areas which smaller rebel groups exploited.

As the UN or the army moved out to reinforce areas under M23 threat, the smaller groups moved in, destabilizing the situation further.

Tax to work the fields

More than 25 rebel factions operate in just two provinces of eastern DR Congo: North and South Kivu. They have shifting alliances and control fluid areas of territory - but try to hang on to profitable tin or gold mines and/or routes where travelers can be "taxed".


Strictly speaking, the map, drawn up in late November, was probably out of date almost as soon as it was published. But it does give an idea of the extreme difficulty ordinary civilians have in the region.

“The small market town of Kashanga north-east of Goma... was attacked 12 times between April and July 2012”

"Preying on people has become an extractive industry," says Oxfam's Elodie Martel. "Armed groups plunder money, food and whatever other resources they can find."

In recent years, I have made numerous journeys through the Kivus and the kaleidoscope of armed groups you encounter is bewildering.

It is not unusual to come across two or three armed bands contesting the same stretch of road.

These groups often allow foreign journalists to pass through - it would draw too much attention to them to do otherwise.

But Congolese civilians are not so lucky. Oxfam cites the example of the small market town of Kashanga north-east of Goma which was attacked 12 times between April and July 2012.

The attackers were from the government army, and two other groups - the Patriotic Alliance for Free and Sovereign Congo (APCLS) and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).

They were fighting over control of illegal taxes imposed on people attending the weekly market.

In a nearby area farmers said they had to pay the Mai Mai Nyatura group 1,000 Congolese francs ($1; £0.62) or two to three kilos of beans per person for the right to access their fields to tend crops.

A man from this region who asked not to be named said of the armed groups: "Anyone who resists them or who raises their voice is immediately killed."

Across the Kivus there are estimated to be 767,000 displaced people.

"In the face of abuse and exploitation on this scale there is no room for apathy," Ms Martel said.

"This is a humanitarian catastrophe on a massive scale and the world cannot continue to turn its back on this tragedy," she said.

Too rich to care?

But whatever Oxfam's well-meaning appeals, the truth is that many people around the world do indeed shrug off DR Congo's woes.

The news emerging from the country is so consistently bad that people seem to have become immune to reacting.


Eastern Congo's beautiful hills belie the danger within

Across the country there are 2.5 million displaced. But the epicenter is the Kivus, for a combination of reasons:

• The Kivus have rich volcanic soil which supports crops in the valleys and cattle grazing on the rolling hills

• Other areas have rich mineral deposits - including tin, gold and coltan (used in the manufacture electronic gadgets)

• The above have attracted a relatively dense population

• Successive waves of ethnic Tutsi and ethnic Hutu settlement in the Kivus have destabilized and complicated the local ethnic balance

• Neighbouring countries all exploit the weakness of Congolese institutions by allowing their nationals to plunder DR Congo

• The Kivus are 1,500 kilometers from the capital Kinshasa and their natural trading route is via east Africa. This leads to yet more foreign influence.


Many people have fled their homes several times during two decades of unrest

Oxfam's Ms Martel said: "It is reprehensible that another year goes by with people telling us they go to bed afraid of killings, looting and abduction - and that women are too afraid to go to their fields to fear of being raped."

The aid agency called on the Congolese government and UN peacekeepers in the country to respond to people paying the ultimate price for the conflict.

But a more fundamental rebuilding may be necessary, because neither of these institutions have thus far been able to square up to the needs of the population.

When faced with a similar though much smaller-scale breakdown in law and order a little over a decade ago, the West African state of Sierra Leone decided to rebuild "from the army up".

With international assistance it re-trained its security forces in a strategy that has so far worked in helping rebuild the wider country.

But the tragedy of DR Congo is that it may be just too rich to do this.

It may be that the various elite actors on the Congolese stage - local and foreign - are making so much money from the rich mineral deposits that they don't want a functioning national army to restore order.

They may be benefitting too much from the current chaos.


The Democratic Republic of Congo covers 2,344,858 square km of land in the center of Africa, making it the 12th largest country in the world.

A wealth tax? A WEALTH TAX?

C'mon man, it's another way to take money out of YOUR pocket and MY pocket. There's no doubt in my miind that:

Major media will promote it.
The White House will run ads supporting it.
The Democratic Party will continue to trash "the wealthy."
House Leadership will continue to be mealy-mouthed.
Senate Leadership will promote it.

It will be so cleverly presented to American people that it looks like the right thing to do. It will amount to chtanging the rules after the game has begun.

Who will buy it? It will be the American Left and the "base" of the Democratic Party.

Stocks and bonds? Those with more than one car? More than one house? Trust funds (not that I have any)?

What's your net worth? Are you ready to have a government employee reviewing your personal assets?

Is a riding mower "wealth?"  A house with a two-car garage? Dividends that are already taxed?
Swimming pool in your yard? I invite readers to add to the list.

One strategy to implement this will be to lower the taxes of the "base". Afterall, they bought the goodies offered them during the recent Presidential race. The "majority" of the American people allegedly spoke during the recent election. With that phony mandate will they again "speak" to us in suupport of "wealth tax?"

Will we hear any peeps out of our ineffectual national conservative leadership?

The view from a formerly Communist country







From Prague, The Perfect Quote:

Occasionally people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that can be quickly understood; this quote - from the Czech Republic. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper, Prager Zeitungon

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

THE DIVORCE AGREEMENT OF JOHN J. WALL



DIVORCE AGREEMENT
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is our separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.

--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep Bill O'Reilly, and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
