This is a letter to Senator Saxby Chambliss by a close friend who has many views similar to a least half of all Americans. If you have these same feelings, communicate them to your representatives NOW.

———————

 

Dear Senator Chambliss,

 My opinion is that this meeting is probably a great big mistake. 

 One, we are supposed to have a separation of powers in our government.  It is not the job of the President to preside over a meeting of the U. S. Congress.

 Second, those who disagree with the President’s position can only do so mildly without being accused of being disrespectful to the President.  For your information, Mr. Obama is not the king nor is he God, but the Republicans can only lose if they call him out when he lies through his teeth as he often does.

 Third, surely you don’t think he really gives a hoot what the Republicans think or want to do.  His primary objective is to make you look bad and if healthcare doesn’t pass he will blame the Republicans while he couldn’t even get full support for the healthcare bills from his own party.  The only bipartisan issue he is looking for is bipartisan blame when the public comes down on you guys for allowing this monstrosity to get passed.  Do you not yet understand that the people want no part of the Democrat proposals?

 Fourth, I am really mad at the Republican Party because you became Democrat light when you were in power.  I don’t expect the Democrats to do very many things that I like; but, I did expect the Republicans to govern in a fairly conservative manner.  You didn’t do that.  I currently don’t think the proper approach is to form a third party.  The best solution in my opinion would be for the Republican Party to wake up and get back to its small government roots.  But if you guys go to this meeting and let Obama make you look like a bunch of fools, then it could well be the end of the Republican Party and many conservative citizens like me will write you off as a bunch of losers and start looking for a viable alternative to the Democratic/Republican parties.

 Fifth, you Republicans need to have a good talk with the new Senator from Mass. and explain the facts of life to him.  In the first real action since he took office he is siding with the Democrats on their new so called jobs bill.  First we don’t have the money, second it will not create any permanent jobs, the tax credits for small businesses that hire people is a typical government solution that is ready made for abuse by businesses that were already going to hire new employees, and it is going to be just another slush fund for the Democrats to buy votes using our tax dollars.  Didn’t you guys learn anything from the first “stimulus” bill and TARP bill.  Why do you think so little of the “stimulus” money has been spent in 2009?  It was not an election year! Duh! 

 The Obama administration is taking the TARP payback from the banks and using it as a slush fund to hand out money to their friends in a form that will never be paid back.  Get off your duffs and put a stop to this madness. 

 The American people, and I am not talking about some kind of kook fringe, but solid patriotic citizens, are completely fed up with the way you people are running things in Washington and the arrogance you portray to us.  But you guys don’t seem to be getting the message.  “Don’t tread on me” is a fair warning that you should take seriously because we have had enough of the horse manure.

The header for this blog says one of its objectives is promoting and advocating a positive attitude at all times. This is still the intent. However, everything is so bad, so threatening, and so terrifying throughout the world, but particularly here in the United States, I feel it necessary to expand my definition of a positive attitude to include recognizing dangerous situations, taking positive steps to protect ourselves, and then moving on, realizing we can only do so much with what is available to us. In my case, what is available is an ability to write with the objective of influencing readers to take whatever action they deem appropriate to the situation.

 I have not written for this blog in quite a while. It was because I was wrestling with myself over what to do. I decided to come out fighting, with no political correctness idiocy. If I think someone is lying, I will so state; and I trust no one about anything.

 I invite your  comments. I’m not always right, but I always think I am.

People born between 1946 and 1964 are the group known as Baby Boomers. The MIT AgeLab says the 50+ population is the fastest growing segment worldwide, and life expectancies are at a historical high. An American turns 50 once every seven seconds. Within the next few years, 50% of the European Union’s population will be 65+. By 2030, in Italy, retirees will outnumber active workers. By 2050, the median age in Thailand will rise to 50, also according to the MIT data. Baby Boomers are turning 50 at the rate of 1 every 10 seconds. That’s more than 12,000 each day, and over 4 million a year for the next decade! This group is tremendous and will require a lot of attention to fill all the niches of desire within this great population.

 The MIT report estimates there are 450 million baby boomers worldwide; Coming of Age, Incorporated, says there are over 100 million boomers and senior citizens in the US alone. This group is very wealthy, well educated, and all are sophisticated potential buyers. In addition, they have more disposable income than any other buying group in America which makes them the new greater part of customers. Regardless of these powerful findings, not all of them have a lot of money; a Focalyst Study indicates only about 9% of boomers are truly affluent. However, what is significant is this group will account for 17% of all US consumer spending. Makes marketers everywhere drool. Don’t overlook the rest of this market because they spend money, too, but maybe not as much as their wealthy peers.

 Such an enormous and diverse market can’t be considered as only one market; there are countless segments in this group. Bear in mind, too, the current economic depression has reduced funds available to boomers, but it still is estimated between one and two TRILLION USD. That’s a lot of money, and they will use it to demand exactly the best products and services available. The problem is to find exactly what every segment of this group wants.

 The first thing to do is try to understand how boomers think. There are so many of them, from all sorts of backgrounds, that determining their thinking is no small job. Coming of Age, Incorporated, referenced earlier, says, “How baby boomers think is just as important as what they think.” They go on to say the older we get, the more emotional we are. Our emotions begin to control what we think, and eventually, cause us to persuade our minds to take some action. Those who succeed in serving these people must build a relationship of trust, based on honesty and openness, in order to influence the Boomer group. This requires the creation of motivational communications, better ways of presenting this communication, and improvements in quality and service in order to induce an action. Those wanting to serve Boomers most realize the median age of the market is constantly changing; the median age is mid forties and constantly moving upward every year. Ideas that appeal to younger groups will turn off the older and much larger body of Boomers. The minds of olders work in much different ways from youngers.

A new company, Heartspoken, is trying to find out how boomers think in order to serve their needs and build meaningful relationships. This company, owned and founded by freelance writer Elizabeth Cottrell, has a survey online  right now with questions that will determine the things of most interest to Baby Boomers today. The ultimate result will be to provide goods, services, and information you want. All information you may give is entirely anonymous.

 Please visit the survey and help yourself, along with the other Boomers.

One of the missions listed on this blog is advocating unconventional methods of solving problems. Most of these different ideas have been around for years, some since the earliest times in human history, still, most people don’t use them. There is a human tendency to shy away from anything different, perhaps because of deep rooted impulses to always confront a different situation as danger. All the flags go up?a gigantic prehistoric monster is within ten feet and about to pounce! We react, without thinking, to avoid this attack. These ingrained reactions are difficult to overcome, so we instantly ignore everything that seems different.

 Because this reaction against different is so pervasive, does it not make sense to give yourself an advantage over others by trying things they will not try? The most powerful personal asset we have is our subconscious, a little understood part of our mind. The mention of it usually brings up the term hypnotism. With properly trained practitioners, hypnosis may be useful for treating mental and physical difficulties. But hypnosis is not the only benefit derived from the subconscious. There are almost limitless personal situations where knowledge and training about how to use this incredible ability can give you a serious advantage over all around you. This is a significant article you should read, study, and follow up with all the references given. Your personal prosperity is at stake; do not let this great system we all possess go unused.

 There will be a series of articles about various unconventional problem solutions that can put you way out in front of everyone else, if you use them. A proper discussion of the subconscious includes a book by Joseph Murphy which has meant a lot to me for the last 17 years, since I first found it. I was in a very bad situation with no way I could see to get out. Then I stumbled upon the book reviewed here. A whole new world opened for me; perhaps you will see these ideas as I did, not to be afraid of, but to embrace and constantly search for new ways to use them.

 Book Review: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

 The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Revised Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

by Joseph Murphy, Revised by Ian McMahan

 List Price $7.99 (Available from Amazon.com for $7.99.)

Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages

Publisher: Bantam; Revised edition (January 2, 2001)

 This is an important book everyone should read and study several times. Perhaps you won’t be able to use all the ideas explained in it. What each reader must do is pick what may be helpful to them and develop a method around that thought which they can use to further their own objectives. The book is written in a flexible manner so that anyone can adapt the author’s thinking to individual needs.

 The methods explained here really work; at least, they have worked over and over for me since I first read the book 17 years ago. I read an earlier version at the lowest point in my entire life. Two or three friends kept me from drowning, but this book provided me with the framework to rebuild my life. Use of my subconscious allowed me to get through this very bad time.

 Although there are many references to portions of the Holy Bible, and mention of prayerful aspects of the subconscious, this is not a religious book unless you try to construe it that way. My own use of the book was to discover ways some of the information could help my personal needs. Most useful to me have been turning over problems for solutions and using the prayerful aspects of the subconscious to improve the health of someone close to me who was gravely ill.

 Dr. Murphy’s practical application of new principles is subject to all the negative thoughts of the naysayers. Anything new they can’t even consider; from their negative viewpoint they would rather prepare to give up and just accept the ultimate failure of the human life system. It is encouraging that an overwhelming number of reviews on Amazon’s Website are very favorable. Perhaps there really are a few positive people after all.

 Some conservative religious people will also disparage the book. It has many quotes from the Christian bible explained in a far different way than you will get in any mainstream church. But religion is what it is. Those who believe a strict interpretation of the bible and other holy writings will disregard what is taught here. That’s unfortunate because the subconscious is a powerful tool available to all, rich or poor. Application of these principles does not guarantee anything. Nothing in life is certain. The best we can do is use every asset we have to accomplish a happy and prosperous life for us and those we hold dear. Our subconscious is one such powerful asset.

 Dr. Murphy developed the thoughts in The Power of Your Subconscious Mind during 28 years as Minister-Director of the Church of Divine Science. He was a well-known authority on mysticism and mind dynamics. Dr. Murphy had the unique ability to incorporate the teachings and beliefs of major world religions in practical systems anyone can use to improve their daily life.

 A thought repeated often throughout the book is, “For as a person thinketh in his subconscious mind, so is he.” That’s what this book is all about so remember it and we’ll now look at a few ways your subconscious can be a great help in every aspect of your life. You don’t have to use everything, nor do you have to perform every operation exactly as the book describes it. Use the ideas you need and develop your own technique so that it fits your needs.

• There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind. You should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.

 This last subconscious ability is important to every one of us, especially now. Do you realize we are flirting with another Great Depression, which lasted 12 years, and only ended with World War II? The entire economic stage is in constant change right now, and nobody knows what may happen. Whatever the future may bring, it will be different. There may or may not be jobs available—those that are there could require a different kind of training, and they may pay nothing close to previous jobs. This begs the question, “What can I do, in such circumstances, to protect my income and my family?”

 We’re advocating a home based business, or other small business operation. There are many thingsyou can do in such a business. You need to have a passion for what you are doing. After working at a real job for years, how will you find a business you can successfully operate? Look at every idea you like. Don’t try to do exactly as others are doing. Put your personality and your knowledge of the idea to work. Find something about the idea that everyone else has missed. When you do you will succeed. Go out on a limb.  Stop worrying about how to make money for someone else.  Find something you like to do that people will pay for, and make your own way.  With the Internet, it’s easier than ever. Forget Corporate America.  Every single company out there would like for you to give them all of your entire life for free!  That’s a fact.  They only grudgingly pay because they have to.

 One home based business opportunity you should explore is Strong Future International (SFI), free to join, but offering many income streams, just like all wealthy people have. See how SFI can help you http://ow.ly/oyUZ.

A lot of bad things have come out of Chicago. “Bad Jimmy” Connorton, the acquitted killer of “Doc” Haggerty died here in 1893. Then came the mobs, led by Al Capone, along with the likes of  Sam Giancana whose friendship with Joe Kennedy saved him from arrest.

 Republican Governor George Ryan and friends created schemes for granting contracts and licenses in return for bribes. A terrible accident in another state resulted in his conviction on charges of racketeering, bribery, and extortion. The Governor is now serving a six and one-half year sentence. Guess who replaced him? ROD BLAGOJEVICH! The Daley regime, father and son, has spanned many years as mayors of Chicago. Bob Crawford, retired political editor for a Chicago radio station, says the city has prospered under the Daleys, but the price is corruption. How could it be otherwise during such long autocratic reigns?

 There are other, perhaps much worse, influences surrounding the Chicago political scene. In addition to the mob, there are more extreme elements including Bill Ayers. Ayers founded the violent radical left organization, Weather Underground. This activist group opposed the Vietnam War by bombing public buildings in the ‘60s and ‘70s. He avoided prison on several legal technicalities. He is now Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Isn’t our educational system wonderful? We allow criminals to influence our leaders of tomorrow to bomb buildings and kill people who disagree with their ideas. What a future we can look forward to under their leadership.

 Next, consider the religious training our President and his family have had for the past 20 years or so. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is certainly among the most violent, inflammatory, and disgusting “preachers” there ever has been. His often quoted anti-American speech which included “God damn America” numerous times and blames all of us citizens for the events of 9/11 is beyond belief. But the Obamas and the state controlled media passed it off as inconsequential. Perhaps you think it means nothing, as well. I hope you are correct, but years of that kind of inflammatory rhetoric must have made some impression on our leaders, many of whom call Chicago home.

 Finally, there is the influence of the Chicago School of Economics, based at the University of Chicago, which has as the backbone of its philosophy the teachings of Milton Friedman. I vigorously subscribe to his ideas of keeping government intervention out of business. Apparently his protégés now in power did not get that part of his thinking. What they did get was the idea first promulgated by Niccolo Machiavelli around the 15^th Century, “never waste the opportunities offered by a good crisis.” Dr. Friedman used some form of it and Rahm Emmanuel, White House Chief of Staff, and many other liberal Democrats are currently using it as a reason to quickly use a perceived catastrophe to force monumental change on the public before they have time to realize what is happening. The Chicago School has used this strategy for many years to force colossal change on troubled economies around the world. If you want to see how this has played out on the global platform, read Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine. They also used the ideas that the first 100 days after an event were when the original actions should be made and then completed within six to nine months. Otherwise people affected will see what the government is doing and revert back to their original thinking. Does any of this seem familiar? Is this not exactly what is happening on so many different fronts at once? The economy, so-called global warming, healthcare, closing Gitmo and freeing terrorists, and all the other ideas being quickly pushed through Congress? We all wanted some kind of change, but do we really want the corrupting ideas from a small group of Chicago fanatics?

 Not much anyone can do until the Congressional races next year. It may be some of us can benefit by figuring how to grab some of that cash that is flowing in trillions from Washington daily. Good luck; the tax man has to be close behind.

Passion Beyond Pain (Hardcover)

The author represents what some would call an unconventional approach to cancer treatment, especially the aspects of major pain so often associated with this disease. I have had personal contact with him, as he treats one of the four most significant members of my family. A few days ago we remarked about how comforting it is to have a session with him; no matter what happens, we always leave with positive feelings. Now I know why this is.

 My research into his background led me to an article in the December, 2006, issue of The New Physician. It was “EYE CONTACT: Disengaged doctors and the death of hope,” by John Inzerillo, M.D. It is about a frightening experience the author and his family suffered while searching for treatment of a serious medical condition affecting one of their children. At the end of the article he had this to say, in part:

 Referring to one of the doctors treating his son, “His attitude is one reason I decided, well before my son’s illness, to move from my busy oncology practice to one where the pace is more human; where I can look my patients in the eye and shake their hands before I sit down to listen. It is a place where I have time to review the chart before I walk into the exam room, giving me the freedom to look at the patient and others with whom I am sharing space and experiences. I can get a better feel for where my patients and their family members are coming from, and where their minds may be taking them. Then I can do my best to reassure them.

It seems strange when patients tell you, just after you’ve broken the news about their stage IV lung cancer and what that means, that they feel better after talking to you. I believe it’s because they’ve found a way to walk away with at least a little hope.” And this is exactly how he is; his patients always feel encouraged, regardless of their condition.

The author proposes many unique ways to reduce the pain and stress associated with various forms of cancer. Writing is one way anyone can approach pain management. Even extreme pain has been shown to be helped by writing about it. Patients who wrote experienced much better sleep habits and better function when awake.

Our breath is a useful tool for pain control. Breathing in may emphasize pain, but it also increases blood flow carrying oxygen which helps overcome pain. While inhaling tell yourself you are receiving from the universe what you need for total healing. On the exhale, imagine you are releasing all your problems back into the universe to be destroyed.

Pain management is, in some sense, similar to other demanding problems of our daily lives. We all force our bodies to do things we really don’t want to do, none of which are healthy for us when done over long periods of time. Making ourselves get up and go to jobs we hate, often requiring huge amounts of energy, sets our minds up to accept a pain-racked body. We all have places in our physical constitution where we store tensions all day long. These are sick places of pain that will only heal when we take measures to discharge these tensions from our bodies.

The book describes a little-known technique of balancing one’s Chakras so as to bring life into balance. Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel; our “wheels” are near certain ganglia in our central nervous system. You will see how to accomplish this in the book.

Another way to gain control of pain is to go to some quiet place and get rid of all the noise in your mind. This allows focusing on getting rid of fatigue, even after intensely hard work. You can now try to reduce the effort in anything. Try to  develop a relaxed and easy attitude about everything, including pain, and often you will generate an unimpeded flow of energy that feels good. At this point recheck your body to find some place that is entirely pain free. It may be very small, such as a little toe or a finger nail. Determine how big an area is pain free, then imagine expanding it to cover areas with pain—make it big enough to cover the entire area.

Some form of meditation is required to accomplish many things described here. Use it to choose keeping things the way they are and just accept what you have, or you can decide to try and change the situation. This requires venturing into unknown areas which often generate fear of not knowing whether we succeed or fail. Fear of failure is a big obstacle to our ability to heal. Pain generates chronic fatigue; since there is tremendous energy stored in pain, if it can be redirected from dread and agony to hope and excitement a whole new world opens with new dreams. To help with your meditation use the Internet to find many different ways to do this. Choose one and try it—if it works, fine. If it does not work, try another. Many experienced counselors say, “Start where you are. Things will unfold as you sow these seeds of emotional release.”

These methods help to rearrange the concept of pain so it isn’t perceived as the enemy, but as a point of possibility and transformation, not necessarily to become pain-free, but rather restoring a sense of balance that allows coping with pain. Do not blame anything beyond your control for your pain. This just says you have to accept things as they are and there’s no way to ever change anything. You do need to accept things as they are right at this moment; this allows you to escape emotional involvement in your pain. You can now make the conscious decision to just allow what is happening to happen and not burn up all the energy trying to change present reality.

A very effective way to help yourself is to go into your community and help other people. Seldom is there a situation where there aren’t people much worse off than you. Helping these people takes you away from dwelling on your own problems. You will still have pain, but you will realize you did not cause your pain and you will get a great amount of satisfaction from helping others work through their own situations.

This book discusses many other methods of Yoga, Meditation, exercise, and more. Many of the  ideas discussed can be applied to other situations like career problems or business and financial situations. This is a read well worth your time.

Here is a new business model made possible by Internet technology.

It enables one to devote a small amount of time each week and gradually build a business that will give great flexibility in a few years.  It has the power to provide an income in six figures.

So, if your job is terminated, if you are laid off, if you become ill, or you just get tired of the hassle, so what!  You don’t need to work for anybody but YOU!

You could call it “Health, Wealth and Happiness” insurance.

This paradigm, which I call the “Turnkey Business Plan”,  requires just a few hours a week.  Maybe 2 to 5 hours.  The monetary investment is negligible, a minimum $29.95 a month.  You will share profits of the entire organization,  about one million (and quickly growing) , so it’s quite possible you may have no cost at all.

Now, at no cost, your business is going to grow slowly (unless you put in a great deal of personal effort).  This is why you need to start now, so you have plenty of time for your business to grow.

And your business, after you get it started,  will continue to grow, whether you do anything or not.  This is great flexibility and security.  What if you should become unable to work, for some reason?

Now, many professional people, doctors, lawyers, dentists and such, carry disability insurance.  That’s great, but the amounts are fixed.  The “Turnkey Business” continues to grow.  It is a powerful side income for anyone.

I know that everyone is not going to see the vision and how this business really works.  A doctor, making perhaps in the hundreds of thousands of dollars each year is likely to scoff at the ability of $29.95 per month to make any kind of serious income.

But, when you consider the market clout of several million people, with thousands being added every month, and that the compensation plan allows you to share in the money made by all those people, the possibilities are awesome.

 E-mail is recognized by most people as the most effective means of promoting any business.  It also has the stigma of SPAM, unsolicited commercial e-mail. Since there are millions of voluntary participants in the “Turnkey Plan”,  SPAM is not an issue.   They have all given their permission to receive regular e-mail. The business power  this gives is unbelievable. No one else has this ability, on such a large scale.

Please do yourself the favor of looking at this plan.  You can find it here.

I have always felt, and still do feel, that society has an obligation to take care of our members who are less fortunate. We must provide, to the extent we can, the things necessary for them to survive and, we hope, prosper from the massive fruits of success God made available to us all. For these reasons I registered as a Democrat, and usually I voted that way. Republicanism seemed to support politics of greed, not wanting to give away anything, or help anyone who is helpless.

 

Unfortunately, the programs established to help people have become subject to abuse by many who have no desire to do anything but lie around all day, smoke dope, drink alcohol, and have babies. The more babies, the more money. There is a simple way to fix this—sterilize the men and women responsible after the second “mistake.” But this will never be done because liberals won’t allow it. They do allow abortions, but make no means available to stop people from living off illegitimate children. What an oxymoron.

 

I have not supported any party for a number of years, none of them have  anything in mind except getting elected to lifetime luxury. I am an Independent and don’t like anything anybody in Washington or any State Capital does. They are only going to do what helps them, not those who elected them.

 

So, why do super rich people like George Soros, Warren Buffet, or Donald Trump support governments with high tax and spend programs? Why have I also done better financially when Democrats are in control of the Congress? For years I had no clue why these things could be. I did not understand why so many wealthy people spent so much time and money to elect President Obama when the Democrats already had a strangle hold on Congress. Finally, it came to me, after years of business and economic research and writing.

 

The reason my personal situation is better under Democrats is they take money from other people and give it to me. I don’t care where it comes from, I just spend whatever they give me. The several stimulus programs for individuals are just like this. Even if, as some critics argue, the money is used to pay off debt. So what? These people will just incur more debt and the money will still be shot into the economy.

 

 High taxes provide gobs of money for politicians to spend. It makes no difference what they spend it on, it will be spent in every imaginable direction. Projects my be totally worthless, but they will provide jobs and money to some company and their employees. The money will be spent throughout the economy on important or not so important goods and services. This will keep money churning everywhere and the super rich, who have their hands in many ventures, will get a little bit of it from all over. This is why they support big taxes and high expenditures. If the government goes broke doing these things, they already got their take and no longer care what happens. They will just stick their nets into some other economic water and catch what they can from their new ventures.

 

Why can’t everyone do these things? Most don’t have the courage to venture away from their comfort zone. Cry as they may, they will never be able to influence politicians. The rich don’t really care what politicians do—they just scrape off as much money as they can and move on. Voters can’t do this, so they just whine. The only way a little man can succeed is to think very big and grab a piece of the economy for themselves, as the rich do.

 

Until we get a chance to remove the incompetents now in charge, don’t waste time and energy over the futility of trying to change things. Figure how to get your share of the money flying all over the place.

President Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown just concluded a day or two of meetings in Washington, DC. Did they discuss the merits of sleep vs. sex? If so, will we see some government program come into play to regulate the amount of sex people can have as it relates to having sex with a partner?

 

I pray Mr. Obama proposes nothing of the sort, but, if it happens, please do not follow the lead of the British on anything. They have the most invasive and controlling government you can imagine. Not only do they send people to your home to see how you are using leftover food, they have a national health system which suggests people treat themselves rather than use inadequate government facilities, there is a huge database that tracks behavior of children with their families being held responsible for everything the children may do, and the list goes on and on. Now there is a study by the Edinburgh Sleep Centre that says 79% of Brits prefer extra sleep over sex. The head of the Sleep Centre says this is good because more sleep begets better health.

 

May be, but not so enjoyable. Seems to me this reflects an attitude of mistrust throughout much of the world. People don’t trust others enough to form any sort of intimate relationship. Apparently we allow every bad thing in our past to influence our future. Women don’t trust men and men don’t trust women. There is an element of revenge in most divorces—one spouse or the other attempts to destroy their former partner financially (preferred way) or personally before the public. But when it’s over it should be over so you can continue the rest of your life.

 

I sincerely hope Mr. Obama does not intrude the government into our sex life. Forget what the Brits do. He should encourage everyone to come together, as he said he would during his pre-election speeches. Only by getting ourselves into the constant struggle to maintain optimism and positive ideas will we be able to succeed in our personal lives, and then use these powerful positive ideas to push our country out of all the current problems into a brighter future.

 

Get over yourself—have sex. Sleep is better after.

Ever since his election to the US Senate, Barack Obama ran for President of the United States. Before that, he almost never voted on any issue in the Illinois Legislature—no way to blame anything on him. He did no better in the US Senate. One could say his service was a gross waste of taxpayer money, an issue he is pushing every day with respect to the money lenders. I agree those who get money from us taxpayers need to tread a thin line on the side of responsible actions. But he did not adhere to such a line, so why should he hold others to it? Because he is a politician and politicians always tell people what they want to hear. Is that not what his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, said about him early on, that Oblamalam would say whatever pleased the voters?

 

 It is amazing to me that America’s voters would elect a man like him who never promised anything he could deliver. Senator McCain had no exciting qualities, either. The only reason to vote for him was he is a Republican and would have the ability to control the Socialist/Communist/Democrats with a veto. But the ice cream won. What, you say?

 

Someone told me a story about an eighth grade school teacher who thought it would be educational for her students to have an election similar to the US 2008 presidential election. She had primaries and all that stuff. The field narrowed to two, a boy and a girl. The boy made an eloquent speech touching on issues and how he would solve them. The girl said anyone who voted for her would get ice cream: she won by unanimous vote. When asked what kind of ice cream, “I don’t know.” Where will we get it? “I don’t know.” Who will pay for it? “I don’t know.” Who will bring it to us? “I don’t know.” Oblamalam promised the same things, and he is now unable to deliver any of them. It is definitely not funny the shape our economy is in. But I spend my days laughing at the Three Dopes, Oblamalam, Pelosi, and Reid. They don’t have a clue.

 

They have brought one tax cheat after another to important high office. They promised a very different way of doing business in Washington, using no lobbyists, but they can’t deliver even on this. And they certainly have no idea how to solve the simplest economic problem. What worries me more than anything is how they will deal with terror and keeping me safe. That is the only thing I can say Bush did correctly. Oblamalam does not even want to call the World Trade bombers terrorists, though they walk around with bombs trying to get all those Virgins for Eternity, or severing heads of unbelievers like the Koran proscribes.

 

Although all this stuff is very funny to me, it is so serious that I must find some positive spin for all these events. My take is, if things continue to go as they are, Oblamalam will get hung with an economic disaster and take his party down in the 2010 congressional elections and himself in 2012, unless he is impeached earlier for malfeasance. But, my hope is, when these things happen, the REPUBS don’t get the same leverage as the Three Dopes have achieved. A level playing field is what we need with no party having decisive control.
