Note from a well respected friend - read, heed, take action

I have never felt so strongly as I do about this Email.

AS I PASS THIS ON TO MANY IN MY ADDRESS BOOK, I AM AWARE OF THE FACT THAT SOME DAY I MAY NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO SO. THAT'S A VERY SCARY THOUGHT.
And if you are watching what is going all around you, then you know what I mean. If this Email doesn't make any sense to you, then you are in deep trouble. This would mean you are not aware of what is going on all around you.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama! I didn't unite behind Obama! I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and word smith and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President!

Why am I doing this? It is because:

I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America;

I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;

I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;

I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation; (THIS JUST SHOWS HE CERTAINLY ISN'T UP ON HIS AMERICAN HISTORY!)

I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than American Citizens who need help; (NO WAY, HOSEA!)

I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;

I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land; (GIMME A BREAK!)

I do not share his spiritual beliefs; (at least the ones he has made public)

I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;

I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech! And, they forgot what this country was built on... Judeo-Christian principles! They fail to realize when they took "God out of everything" this country went on a downhill spiral fast and still is!

Unite behind Obama? Never!

I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the Embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made mistakes during his Presidency, (EVERY PRESIDENT DOES) however; I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for America." Because I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!

I pray that now Obama is President and has shown his true colors, everyone concerned will wake up the many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist, anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." - Thomas Jefferson

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan
GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND AMERICA, BLESS GOD!

Pass this on if you agree. Thanks!

Now the ball is in your court.

If you agree with this I strongly suggest you pass this on. If we wait and let everyone else do it, this message may end here and we will fall prey to the inevitable which is very close. We are about to loose the freedom we have cherished for so long unless YOU AND I.... WAKE UP NOW! Are you hearing what I am saying? WAKE UP!

How we got into this financial crisis.

How we got where we are:
1. Community Reinvestment Act 1977 signed into law by President Carter
2. Clinton gives Community Activists power to force banks into making bad loans
3. Clinton tells the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy up bad loans.
4. Banks decide that being forced to write bad loans isn’t so bad since they can sell them to Fannie and Freddie.
5. Some smart guys on Wall Street package these bad loans with some good ones and selling these derivatives around the world.
6. Bush,at first, encourages this activity.
7. Bush sees the danger and tries to put the brakes on Fannie and Freddie.
8. Democratic representative from Massachusetts, Barney Frank, fights the reigning in Fannie and Freddie.
9 Not sure of timing but Fannie and Freddie were cooking the books and one of the main “cookers” was Barney Frank’s boy friend.
10. Bush caves in rather easily letting Fannie and Freddie go on buying bad loans so he is not off the hook completely for economic problems.
11. Democrats gain more power in House and Senate 2006 elections so the whole world knows that the US will not drill for its own oil, will not build new refineries,will not build new hydro electric dams, will not build new nuclear power plants, and will try to close down coal fired plants.
12. Price of oil goes through the roof. Gas prices rise dramatically.
13. Home owners living on their financial edge fall off due to gas prices which start the economic implosion.
14. Our great and powerful federal government decides to bail out some banks and Wall Street financial houses.
15. Bail out supposedly required to keep banks lending, but the banks stopped lending anyway. (Personally, I think we should have let them fail).
16. A year later banks still aren’t lending.
17. Now our federal government decides to bail out Chrysler and GM to avoid bankruptcy. (Oh! That didn’t work).
18. PRESBO changes bankruptcy laws retroactively stealing from bond holders.
19. Unions are big winners with Chrysler and GM bankruptcy, yet one of the main reasons Chrysler and GM were in trouble were the unions.
20. Congress “stimulus” package that doesn’t stimulate.
21. House passes “Cap and Trade (TAX) bill), the most powerful job KILLER ever conceived.
22. Only 10% of “stimulus” spent after six months, but had to be passed at night without even being read.
23. Congress passes budget that is just chock a block full of EAR MARKS, most ever.
24. Since PRESBO elected he has threatened tax increases.
25. Job losses continue because PRESBO agenda does everything possible to put brakes on recovery.
26. PRESBO with his congressional Democrats tries to jam through a health “care” bill. Oh, excuse me, now it’s a health “insurance” bill. What next.
27. To pay for government health care/insurance/? PRESBO wants to increase TAX on rich. Seems to me that’s another job killer. (Ever tried to get a job from a poor person?)
28. Ever wonder what happened to the US Constitution? And hear we are watching parts of Europe lead the way out of recession. We should have lead the way!

Cash for Clunkers

Feds brag about the success of "cash for clunkers" program.

Unintended Consequences (UC)

UC-1: Environmentally conscience individuals punished because they owned a car that got more than 19 mpg. Energy wasting individuals rewarded.
UC-2: Most new cars that qualify for the full $4500 are foreign.
UC-3: Congress picks winners and losers. Auto industry wins (short term) all other industries lose.
UC-4: Those that were negotiating to buy a new car were left out in the cold. Car dealers have plenty of business and don't need to deal with those not qualifying for the "cash for clunkers" program.
UC-5: Congress planned "cash for clunkers to last through November (four months), but it only lasted three days. Proves congress doesn't know their ashtrays from holes in the ground. Proves congress cannot fix something as big as health care.
