dillusional, paranoid commentary, mostly opinion, little fact, and no idea's for progress, just fear of the future if others offer a different opinion of yours

Please let me know what problems are directly the fault of democratic ideas. Truth and facts only

We have to thank Obama and company for revealing to the gullible American voters what the Democratic party really is. An arrogant bunch of profligate spenders of other peoples money to keep control of the "honey pot" tax payers. This November will tell if the gullible American voter will "get it" The untruthful and specious "Democrat leaders" Reid and Pelosi, that have much to fear in holding their positions

Maybe the voters will actually do their duty(if acorn does'nt try to steal another election)

If the Democrats want to ram this bill through Congress, then they should ram it up Harry Reid and Pelosis' you know what and then up Obama's

From Katie Kouric to Stephanopolous to Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Hoyer, et. al., they are all delusional -- and I mean that in a Clinical sense. I don't mean that they don't get. I mean that they CAN'T get it. They hear voices which prevent them from making rational, independent decisions because they've given substance to their own fantasies. Consider carefully the fact that we are being governed by people as demented as was George III of England near the end of his life. One of the matrices of insanity is that its manifestations and delusions expand and accelerate, almost like a snowball rolling downhill, pushing aside all attempts to rein them in, to inject even a modicum of cognitive recognition. After a time, not even palpable threats have any effect. That's why the frustration level of We, the People, is rising; that's why the Colonial Militia took up arms against the British at Concord Bridge.

Don't know if you've seen it yet, but I have not heard it on the news, either. The "White House" is under attack for attempted bribery.

Professor now President Obama is still acting like a Professor! He lectures to the American people like the students of the Constitutional Professor he once was--Constitutional?? I can not watch his lies because he believes them and that is the worst type of Commander in Chief for the United States of America! "Drill Baby Drill"! Listen to the people of the United States who have to live on a budget or face bankruptcy. I cannot spend more than I earn and since I am on Social Security that's not much. Linda

@ Tony: Brilliant comment, do you know what bill it is you are talking about and if you do know, what about this bill so offends you

One change that would help immensely if EVERYONE -including the wonderful Patriot Post- would STOP referring to Obama as "President"! Until we know that he is actually an American by birth, he has no right to be addressed or referred to by the appellation given to honorable men from 1789 to 2007! "Obama" will serve nicely until we know for certain!

Ted. Please let me know what problems are directly the fault of democratic ideas. Truth and facts only. >>>>>>>What we're confronted with is a philosophic issue, not an economic or legal one. At the heart of our "problems," as you say, is our inability to clarify what the PRINCIPIUM INPRIMIS -- the First Principles -- are. In his tome, "Two Treatises of Government," John Locke wrote that men possess three Instincts -- for Life, Liberty and Property -- and it is the duty of government to guarantee them all. First in importance (ahead of Life and Liberty) is Property. For over 1,500 years, from the fall of Rome to the American Revolt against Britain, only the Gentry, the Aristocracy, owned Property. The serfs were chattel to the Manor Lord. The serfs owned nothing in and of themselves. They couldn't even claim title to their own bodies. Only the Manor Lord could claim control over his own life and liberty. Locke argued that to take away the Right (the Instinct) to own Property is to take away Life and Liberty as well. The Founders spoke at great length of Natural Rights -- i.e., God-given -- and wrote and fought this Nation into existence to protect, preserve and transmit the "blessings of Liberty to [their] posterity." They instituted a LIMITED government and wrote down what its limits were to be in a Constitution. Underpinning all of what they brought to life was this First Principle: The Instinct and Natural Right to own Property. To abrogate that Principle is to abrogate all other Rights. Thus, the IRS is an agent of tyranny, given flesh by a Congress which disregards the Founders' insistence that government must never be permitted to take from We, the People, what belongs to us. If government becomes abusive, Jefferson wrote, it MUST be disposed of and one to The People's liking put in its place. All of today's "problems" stem from that First Principle: Government must not be permitted to take The People's property. To do so is to take their Liberty and their Lives as well. That Principle follows as surely as the night follows day. All of our "problems" spring from The People's acquiescing to having their Property taken from them.

@ rifle: Is there an Idea in the psycho-babble you just posted. Comparing 21st century democratic majorities to an 18th century Monarch, now that is dillusional. And what exactly is it that they don't "Get". Wake up, and open your mind and stop being a lemming.

Ted...you are funny...

All politicians do it, but your benevolent Obama lied through his teeth on the campaign trail. Transparent governance, what a joke. Debates on major issues on C-SPAN...nope. Working with Republicans on major issues...nope. Tax and spend...yup. Fudging jobs numbers...yup. Behind closed doors, no Republicans allowed policy making...yup.

Why oh why couldn't they progress this extremely socialistic agenda of theirs when they had filibuster proof numbers. The people don't want it, that's why. If you don't believe me just wait till November and you will see what happens.

By the way, Republicans do have ideas for progress, they just get shot down at every turn. And as far as fear of the future is concerned, I for one fear becoming a socialist society. Smaller government and stop spending our money...it's your money too Ted.

As for what did the democrats do that is their fault, take a look at the deficit Ted. I know they can't take all of the blame but they are increasing it like no other. They also plan on making it bigger. No one alive has EVER spent their way out of debt... no one. Fiscal responsibility is what it takes, not tax increases so they can spend on pet projects (John Murthas airport).

This happens on both sides of the aisle Ted, don't get me wrong. Obama also said he would not have any lobbyists in the WH...last count was 27. What is wrong with that picture?

These are just a few examples from an average guy, I know it won't sway you from the dark side, but this stuff is common knowledge. If I were able to research more indepth answers for you I would.

Also take a look at our S.S. system, that is working out well isn't it.

Jonah Goldgerg's remarks nail it on the head.

Bravo!

I normally don't read the entire Post...But I read Gen. Colin Powell piece on "

Have we so lost our faith in this country that we think one person, one man can be can suddenly change our entire system? That's kind of absurd.

Can he or someone explain to me WHAT HAPPENED IN GERMANY

I in no way intend to insult Burt Reynolds here but does anyone else see that obama and his congressional democrats are like a bad remake Smokey and the Bandit? You've got obama(Bandit) out there running his mouth to anybody who'll listen, like he's trying to distract us(the cops) from what congress(Cletus) is doing(moving illegal coors, or in their case ignoring our constitution).

Big Enis and Little Enis represent the radical left fatcats like George Soros and the labor unions.

You could not post this without opening yourself to unwarrented Progressive Socialist politicials and MSM.

I understand how the majority of poeple felt in Germany in th e30s. We are developing the same blame group now Hispanics. As I site in Va hospital and the paper recounts new Hispanic crime wave and laughing over Hispanic murdering Hispanics.

This week a strident President Obama donned his long familiar Southside Chicago political stance and set the stage for Thursday heaslth care O.K.Corral showdown with Republican congressional leaders with a "shape-up or else" ultimatum.

Or else?

yes. indeed,the Democrat Party mwith the tone deaf president spearheading it promies to use the "Reconciliation" legislative tactic, a trickery to hasve Obama's bill passed without GOP partici;ation! Obama, ignoring the asccusation that he wasn't negotiating in "good fasith" vehemently declared that "thisis the right thing to do" despite overwhelming American citizenry opposing it.He belies what his wife believes" "I love my country and the same is true for my husband..you do this because you want to live in a country,the kkind you want to pass down to your kids".Empty..empty words spoken like an Obama with no tranparency at all.

This was sent to me today; I'll assume it's been around a while, but I see a need for all America to watch this enlightening video piece.

@ Ted

Exactly what part of the latest polls showing that 62% of the American people don't want FORCED healthcare don't you understand?

These poll numbers are diametrically opposed to our illustirous leader and his agenda. Obama was annointed by the lame stream media as our savior. What a farce. The only thing that matters to Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et. al. is the ability to ram their socialist ideas down the throats of the American people.

NOT ME!!!!!

Ted:

I really liked your play on words. Taking "delusional" and changing it to "dillusional", not once but twice.

Very clever! It became a nifty description of the Obama administration's discomfort at being in a pickle.

@Robert G. As I posted earlier From 2000 to 2009 The deficit rose from 4 trillion to 11 trillion, is that what you consider fiscal responsibility? Most of Obama's deficit came in the form of bailing out the failed economic policies of the previous administration

Progressives are fooled by their own logic. Certain aspects of ObamCare poll well. So they reason that the overall bill should be wildly popular. Since it clearly isn’t, they reason that the problem must be messaging. Either they aren’t able to explain it well enough, or we just are being duped by a clever campaign against the bill. Unfortunately for progressives the American people are a lot smarter than that. Sure, they like some of the benefits this bill might provide, but they hate the costs, and I don’t mean just dollars. Costs in quality and access to service, not to mention the long term drag on the economy. Simply put, the general public has decided the costs far outweigh the benefits. Somehow Progressive just can’t bring themselves to accept this.

I love polls I heard one that said 80% of Americans wanted the public option, if its good enough for the people we elect to office, why isn't it good enough for the rest of the country. And how sad is it that a caring sympathetic, Veteran has to lie in a hospital bed paid for by taxes and get his only comic relief by watching news of hispanics killing each other. I can only hope he recovers enough to get out of that hospital so he can get more relief watching the murders of innocent people in person

Robert Greenfield wrote: "it's your money too Ted"

Hmm. Don't be too sure. Not everyone pays taxes.

Ted, you crack me up. The Dark side claimed the recession started as early as Feb. 2000, just weeks into G.W.'s presidency. Then they had the audacity to blame him...hmmmm. He didn't even know where all the restrooms in the W.H. were located at that point. Maybe he still doesn't. Then came 9/11, do you blame Bush for that, and 2 wars. Anyways I am not here to defend a RINO.

All I have seen you offer in any post, is as you would say "dillusional" talking points. The only thing your posts prove is that you adore Bill Maher and Keith Olberman.

The thing is Ted, Bush is gone and the only thing anyone can do anything about is the present and the future. Why would this president and this congress want to pass such a socialistic agenda that the majority of the country is opposed to. Are they really that arrogant, thinking they know what is best for us. If that is really their position they are going to get a rude awakening in November. I can't wait.

Anyways, good luck on your Global Warming thesis, tell Al and Janeane Garofalo hi.

Those who think it is permissible to

tell white lies soon grow color blind.

---------Austin O'Malley

one poll says 30 million Americans are without healthcare another says 47 million but Fox news says Less than 5 million. Why such a discrepancy? And the way Fox discribes it, It is as that is an acceptable amount. What? The United States Military find it unacceptable for the lose of life of 1 American soldier, but the right wing voice of America finds it acceptable that life, liberty, and the persuit of hapiness is denied for these individuals. You are truly patiotic Americans. What is the Quote on the Statue of Liberty, Give us your hungry, Give us your poor. What Democrat wrote that socialist idea?

Ted, all you've managed are a few cheap shots with zero substance, zero. You look puerile, not smart or witty. Here's a problem I have with your Democrat party ideas, they spend money they don't have, lots of it. This year alone, they'll spend $1.4T more than they steal from us, the people. How much of that are you willing to pay back? So here's an idea that may be simple enough for you to get your statist head around: I won't ask you for your money and you don't ask me for mine. Simple huh? Lefties like you love using the federal government as some kind of super school yard bully to go around stealing everyone's lunch money and then doing with it what they (and you) please. Let's allow people to direct their own affairs without government interference or burden beyond that allowed in our Constitution. The Constitution was drafted to be a wall over which government was not to climb. Our current crew of overreaching demagogues has not only scaled the wall, they're trying to tear it down. My doctor and I can take care of my health without any help whatsoever from the federal government. Ted, you are the sheep (or lemming if you prefer, although the whole lemming thing is a myth, but that's beside the point and yet another off your intellectual shortcomings), you are the one who only follows and seeks refuge in the government. This country will begin to heal, and very quickly, once the federal government is forced back into the cage built for it by the U.S. Constitution.

Mack...well said. Vince, I think you could be right. Anyone on here work for the IRS.

Is there a single soul within the democrat party or the MSM (excluding the few Conservatives) who possesses even micron of integrity?

It is apparent to all who hear/read what they say/write that they prefer to lie when the truth would be more beneficial.

You can call it Global warming, I like the term Climate Change. As the amount of carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere 3X, the earths temperature has risen about 3 degree's. If you can remember your basic science in the 6th grade, Warmer air holds more condensation more condensation in the air leads to the formation of more clouds which in fact leads to a trapping of the warm air below it. More clouds in colder climates lead to more snow ie Baltimore and Washington D.C. record snowfalls. more clouds help keep the earth cooler by reflecting sunlight but the loss of sulight reduces the amount of photosynthisis,leading to less transformation of carbon gas into oxygen. These facts need to be studied in science books, not the Bible

@ Mack I love the schoolyard bully analogy, but with out taxes being paid for public schools and if you have 4 kids which if you paid for them to go to school at an average of 20,000 dollars per kid per year, I doubt your kids will have any lunch money to steal. Better get started on that Garden lol

@ Mack You might want to move close to that school also unless you want to build a road with your own money to get the kids there. LMAO, and through the reality of your world, this plan will fix global warming also. Gas and cars will be cheap because there will be no taxes on it but there won't be any roads to drive on. Genius

Ted...Are you on a comedy cicuit? 3 degrees since when? Haven't you read Al's latest...An Inconvenient Email. The data has been altered. I would guess they don't talk about that on "The View", but I couldn't be sure. The weather has cycles, climate change is about money change. Money changing hands that is.

Thank you for the middle school science lesson. Good luck achieving enlightenment with your Scholastic books. I'll stick with my Bible.

@ Mack The myth may exist in more variations. In most forms it does not appear to claim a conscious @suicide but rather accidental mass death due to various factors. However in popular culture the alleged behavior is usually referred to as "mass suicide" and hence discussed here as "mass suicide myth".

Because of their association with this odd behavior, lemming suicide is a frequently used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with popular opinion, with potentially dangerous or fatal consequences

Its a metaphor, I can only imagine why you would consider using sheep as your analogy lol

Ted, sorry, you need to reboot on your Climate Change (what will they call it next week?) babble. Remember, your data, when not being hidden from view, was found to be hopelessly corrupt or made up. This fact has been in some papers and in many honest reporting venues so you may have seen it. The conclusions in your little religion of Gorebal Warming (IPCC and others) are hoakum. Catch up with us in 20 or 50 more years when you have something based in real science and not on a predetermined political agenda of wealth transfer trumpeted by advocates masquerading as scientists.

With the Detroit Office of the FBI raiding three of Toyota's suppliers while the theatrical farce plays out on the Washington stage, we must recognize that the only logical outcome is the forced unionization of all foreign owned auto assembly plants in the United States. When that happens, all acceleration and braking problems will speedily come to a screeching halt. And one more installment on Obama's debt to the UAW will be paid.

Whichever party starts to standup for the individual American that is the party I will support. If not I will spend every waking moment I can to destroy the party or people who do not support freedom.

THE CREED OF FREEDOM

INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS

I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty.

I believe that a just state derives its power solely from its citizens. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what individual citizens also have the right to do. Otherwise, the state is a power unto itself and becomes the master instead of the servant of society.

SUPREMACY OF THE INDIVIDUAL

I believe that one of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group, no matter its numeric superiority, to deny the rights of the minority; and that one of the primary functions of a just state is to protect each individual from the greed and passion of the majority.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

I believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law. I believe that social tranquility and brotherhood are better achieved by tolerance, persuasion, and the power of good example than by coercion of law. I believe that those in need are better served by charity, which is the giving of one's own money, than by welfare, which is the giving of other people's money through coercion of law.

EQUALITY UNDER LAW

I believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, life style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment, regardless of the merit or popularity of its cause. To favor one class over another is not equality under law.

PROPER ROLE OF THE STATE

I believe that the proper role of the state is negative, not positive; defensive, not aggressive. It is to protect, not to provide; for if the state is granted the power to provide for some, it must also be able to take from others, and that always leads to legalized plunder and loss of freedom. If the state can give us everything we want, it also must be powerful enough to take from us everything we have. Therefore, the proper function of the state is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, nothing more. That state is best which governs least.

If everyone lived on an island, we would soon have an insight to the problems of unattention to our environment.

I find it amusing that some use plagiarism at times to advance their arguments and when they do use their own words, sound like a completely different person.

Ted? Is your last name Kennedy and are you still alive?

@ Robert in order to have any credibility in your arguement the first thing yopu should do is convey your thoughts to the republican leadership in Washington and as a Group All republican representative should Terminate the insurance plan they use themselves and declare it a socialistic form of big government. Only after they terminate thier socialistic health care and purchase a Health care plan operated by a corporation can they not appear hypocritical of the arguement. How can you yourself allow your republican rep. allow you to pay for his coverage as he denies you yours. my view is not republican or democrat, its just common sense

A quote I received that fits the mark quite well..

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an 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 us. 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. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president. -- Author Unknown

@ Scott lol no not a Kennedy yes, alive thank you for the compliment

In 2009, the CO2 global average concentration in Earth's atmosphere was about 0.0387% by volume, or 387 parts per million by volume (ppmv).[1][2] This is 103 ppmv (36%) above the 1832 ice core levels of 284 ppmv

The Keeling Curve of atmospheric CO2 concentrations measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory.

Ted, good luck in all you do...I somehow feel less intelligent after reading your commentaries. Therefore I will not subject myself to further such abuse. Hopefully climate change will make you some money, otherwise it is a waste of your time. You will probably need the money generated to pay for your neighbor's health care.

PS I think you know better, but that Kennedy thing...not a compliment, in any state of mind.

If Obama were impeachable as a userper or on grounds of high crimes and misdemeanors,just remind yourselves of the chain of command.(1)Biden,(2)Pelosi,(3)Reid !!! Pray for us all! God bless...

In response to Hillary's dare to Iran I would say that she doesn't need the ayatollah's permission to hold a town meeting in Tehran. After all, the liberals in Washington are convinced that Iran is a peace loving democratic republic so she should just go and do it. If she is just holding off because of the cost of airfare, I would be happy to contribute the first dollar. I mean, how much can a one way ticket cost anyway?

@Ted

Thank you for joining our comment rolls today. You have proven the point that all of the conservatives here today have stated and thought: you believe what you are told with absolutely no regard for the facts and/or the truth.

I have a question or two or three for you, Ted. Why should only Republicans drop their health insurance? Why should the Democrats do like wise? And, finally, if the Democratic healthcare plan was so splendid and terrific, why wouldn't Congress as a whole join up and do away with heir health insurance plan? No to mention their retirement plan.

Everyone,

I would like you to point out to Ted that we have conducted this exercise with civility? Something the liberals like Peolsi, Reid, Olberman, Matthews, etc. can't seem to do. This is what the 1st Amendment to the Constitution is all about. The free exchange of ideas. I doubt if any one of us here today will change their opinion of the political situation; but, we were able to communicate with each other on a rational (some more than others) basis.

Duke

Ouch I've been called a troll I best go back to the bridge now. It has been fun. Can't we all just get along?

In response to Colin Powells remarks about President Obama, and that we not fear him changeing our country. Yes General Powell, he can change this country, but only if the people allow it. It's been changed a bit at a time for years, and sadly it is for the worse.

Mrs.ried has nothing to fear if the good senitor does not get realected since he will continue to draw his salary until he dies!!! What a great retirement!!! wish mine were that good. Oh what ever happened to the part of the consititution that says congress shall enact no law that doesn't apply to them? Are they on medicare?

Ted: "Most of Obama's deficit came in the form of bailing out the failed economic policies of the previous administration."

Here we go again, everything is Bush's fault.

Most of Obama's deficit spending came from Congressional pork unfilled for three or four decades, payback to his political cronies who helped and paid for his election, Goldman Sachs, poorly regulated and watched Wall Street, SEIU, foreign banks, and failed democrat policies (he himself voted for as a senator from Illinois) in re to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae who forced banks with the picketing help of ACORN to lend money to people with bad credit and not enough income to justify buying a home. Mortgage is just another commodity, not a right.

In liberal utopia, we must all sing Kumbaya, live in poverty, no possibility of personal growth, only the elites can live the good life. No thanks, Ted, we don't want that.

Ted, where did you get your information on expenditures per child in education of $20,000/year? That amount is totally incorrect. There is no state in the union that spends that much per child. Perhaps a private school or a magnet school with room and board spends $15,000/year but public schools spend much less per child per year.

Once again, you prove that liberals make up data and statistics to suit their ideology.

General Powell, You are wrong, right now it appears that in three years the American people WILL settle for claims that this guy (BHO) is out of office. If only that day were upon us.

May God help us all ...

@ Ted

Dude, we can fix you up with some links to edify yourself on the whole climate change myth. Lies, debunked statements, exagerations perpetrated by those with a political agenda, not a heart-felt need to save the earth! Wrong, wrong, wrong!!

Please don't disgrace the rinos by associating Colin Powell with them. Powell isn't even a Republican in name only.

Ted the Troll:

"From 2000 to 2009 The deficit rose from 4 trillion to 11 trillion"

Sorry I got here late, but apperently no one noticed that "Ted", as with all lib/soc/progs cannot tell the difference between the DEBT and the DEFICIT,

As with everything economic, he gets thing is reverse, i.e., Tax hikes create revenue, the more regulation th ebetter and the best one of all:

Taxing the Rich will give more money to the "Poor".

Ted:

"Blah blah CO2 global Blah blah in Earth's atmosphere Blah blah 0.0387% by volume"

If CO2 is a pollutant, why are you contributing to the pollution by breathing?

Can you make like a bottle of wine, and stick a cork in it?

Ted did make one small error in an early post. The national debt at the end of 2000 (end of Clinton era) was $5.6 Trillion, not $4. Yes, it did double under GWB (a bad thing), but it also went up about 50% under Clinton (despite the "balanced" budgets, and has gone up roughly 25% in the last year. Where does it stop, when China "calls" it's notes?

"The BIG Lie: "Democrats and Republicans agree that Republicans are picking up seats in the mid-term elections. What the White House can do -- what they're trying to do -- is to achieve a health care bill. People still want that." --ABC's George Stephanopoulos" So the people are voting for Republicans hoping it will brign in even more votes then the Dems would give them for Obamacare? Huh?

Ted, the real cause of the mess that Bush felt he had to fix (I disagreed with him vehemently) was the result of Leftwing pressure on lenders to loan money to those who didn't qualify, or face the threat of being sued for "redlining". The financial institutions were thus corrupted by the feds. Read Thomas Sowell's book "The Housing Boom and Bust". Both sides were complicit in this to some extent, but participants on the right I consider to be fellow travelers of the Left.

Ted say, "In 2009, the CO2 global average concentration in Earth's atmosphere was about 0.0387% by volume, or 387 parts per million by volume (ppmv).[1][2] This is 103 ppmv (36%) above the 1832 ice core levels of 284 ppmv ...The Keeling Curve of atmospheric CO2 concentrations measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory."

That's got be the most frightening thing I've ever heard, and I'm not sure what it means, and somehow, I dont' think Ted does either ...

Breaking news from Vancouver -- President Obama has won an Olympic Gold Medal. Obama won the Downhill for going downhill faster than any other U.S. President.

RE: Blues Brothers quote..."IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"... If you haven't read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, you should. If you have, you should be terrified! Ms. Rand's book, written in 1957, is a prophetic view into our current socio-political environment.

The "hope", as offered by the current Administration, is one born of desperate desire for a future change, the ultimate result being uncertain. The hope, as offered by our God, is one of confidence in the One who can, and does, deliver! We must choose, wisely, in whom will place our trust! The God of the universe or the god of Washington, D.C.!

We have a Glorious National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner".

We, also, in this Christian Nation, have a "National Hymn":

"God of Our Fathers"

God of our Fathers, whose Almighty hand

Leads forth in beauty all the starry band

Of shining worlds, in splendor thru the skies

Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.

Thy love Divine, hath led us in the past,

In this FREE land, by Thee our lot is cast:

Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay

Thy Word our LAW, Thy paths our chosen way.

From war's alarms, from DEADLY PESTILENCE,

Be Thy strong arm, our ever sure DEFENSE

Thy TRUE religion in our heart increase,

Thy bounteous goodness nourish US in peace.

Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,

Lead US from night to never ending day;

Fill all our lives with love and grace Divine,

AND GLORY, LAUD, AND PRAISE BE EVER THINE.

And ALL the People said, AMEN

SING this TODAY. Our Fathers said, "NO KING, BUT JESUS

For God & Country

Revisionist history has robbed the United States of its character and true legacy. David Limbaugh (in the Upright section) captures one area of this distortion.

Who didn't think from their American “history" class that Abraham Lincoln and FDR were the greatest Presidents ever? And yet, that is largely due to incomplete reporting of their views and actions in respect to the Constitution and Founder's views. Even our Founder's were not perfect (Jefferson not freeing his slaves despite his denunciation of slavery) and yet they were, like us, products of a culture--a culture built on incomplete truths and distortion meant to advance and sustain an evil idea (slavery in that case--socialism in ours).

Thank you Patriot Post for setting the record straight! May the individual searchers of truth find your words to always be just that--TRUE.

Ted-

We'll be able to get along as soon as you move to France. There are plenty of socialist paradises out there and I bet many of us would be glad to donate to your plane ticket.

Your friends at the Patriot Post

CO2 is plant food. Even if there are higher levels, that does not prove it is detrimental. Just means more plant food. It doesn't even make sense as a cause of global warming let alone the facts that refute it.

Democrats like to point out George Bush's deficits, but then try (and are succeeding by factors of 3)to beat them. Obama spent an entire campaign vilifying Bush's policy on Afghanistan and Iraq yet is following suit. And best of all, uses Bush trying a terrorist in civilian court as justification for disbanding military tribunes for terrorists.

Obama IS the embodiment of the entitlement mentality and its a great question as to whether we can overcome that mentality.

In response to the other Ted's comment regarding what it says on the Statue of Liberty: Yes .... but it doesn't say we will provide them health care or free anything. We will provide the freedom and opportunity for them to prosper and have a better life than from where ever it was they came from.

Remember this the next time you see a "Newsweek" magazine:

Supreme arrogance: "In trying to explain our political paralysis, analysts cite President Obama's tactical missteps, the obstinacy of congressional Republicans, rising partisanship in Washington, and the Senate filibuster, which has devolved into a super-majority threshold for important legislation. These are large factors to be sure, but that list neglects what may be the biggest culprit of all: the childishness, ignorance, and growing incoherence of the public at large." --Newsweek's Jacob Weisberg, revealing what the elitists think of the American people

REF: Patriot Post "Chronicle" dated February 24, 2010.

Try not to puke on the rack as you, hopefully, walk on by. Flood this piece of garbage periodical with emails in protest of Weisbergs's hideous remarks and let them know you will never buy their product, again. (that is .... unless they break with the story first, that this administration and the current Congressional leadership suddenly have disappeared into the sunset of political hasbeenocracy.

Ted.

I got this in today's email. Demonstrates what a background in math can accomplish!

Clunker Math

Think of it this way:

A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.

A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons a year.

So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce US gasoline

consumption by 320 gallons per year.

They claim 700,000 vehicles so that's 224 million gallons saved per year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.

5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.

More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars

So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.

We spent $8.57 for every dollar saved.

I'm pretty sure they will do a great job with health care, though.

Normally I copy a select few apropos comments to save for my upcoming graduate program in poly sci, but this time I had to save the whole issue.

I almost considered copying Ted's typical liberal comments, filled with his elitists disdain for those who disagree with his positions, but I can only stomach so much hubris. I just wonder if his last name is Sullivan and if he ever claimed he was a former Marine.
