"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

By the way my post was tongue in cheek. Sure did a 180 didn't he. Typical politician saying what people want to hear and then doing something else.

received in an e-mail from a close friend....



The only people who will understand this are those of normal intelligence who have a good dose of common sense. Others, who are absorbed by political rhetoric just won't get it. And the entitlement groups, those who believe the DEMS are looking out for the "little" people will soon discover that these DEMS are only looking out for themselves. The plan is to buy their way into being re-elected. What's amazing is that ATLA, the NEA, SEIU and every public sector union is selling this nonsense to their membership. Why do they agree to this "Hog Tying"? Because, being automatons, they were "told it was so" by their leadership. and they believed!
When the politicians have total control ot the lives of these blinded supporters and these "supporters" have to go to BIG Government to obtain even their most basic needs, they'll say what happened???
The current head of the White House Wrecking Crew and his band of Constitutional Rapists will see that this happens if we don't eradicate this vermin...And we do that by voting the bums out of office.
If you don't believe this, I have an acquaintance who is a Cuban refugee and now a successul business man in FL, who can tell you factually how things happened under Castro. He will gladly give you the details of where he sees America is heading.
When you're a "Puppet on a string" like the "O" guy, you dance to the tune of those behind the scenes who control the string!!! And those "controllers" can't survive if Americans have control of their own destiny.

What others see plainly, we often ignore.

*Here's something to think about.*

I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked, "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"

Dad said...he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana ...at the time. Dad was in the Army there.

Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question!

Ike was president.

This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960's. His family was more fortunate than most, as they were able to bring a suitcase...and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.

Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide...while celebrating the birth of our beloved America ...on the Fourth of July.

We began with a simple discussion about our country, and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington .

But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. "You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist".

We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical."

The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, "You mean just like Barack Obama?"

He responded; "Yes, just like Barack Obama."

He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied."

I remember my uncle saying after it started; “Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries. He will never come and take our family hardware store!!” But that is exactly what happened. Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own...it is now our property also, and...you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house, because others are moving in with you."

The lesson learned from this discussion, is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office...they can take totally unexpected turns.

If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never believed it.. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society...would be evaporating, just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960's.

But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black Panthers are not charged with wrong doing by the U.S. Department of Justice...because their crimes are against whites. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets...without due process by the government! Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight...only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled...by the Attorney General.

The U.S. borders are over run with crime and illegal activity, and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers....while the innocent are killed and over run. When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed...and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration...entrusted with enforcing the law.

Without the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution is a sham!! Without the rule of law, our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. As Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book...a culture of corruption has replaced honest government.

The only way this problem will be fixed, is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally, must come together...and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law...end now!! And yes, it can happen here.

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!! And...may God save the United States of America !

*...the least you can do is forward this email. 6 million plus Jews didn't believe it would happen in Germany either!!! If you're a Christian in these United States of America , you're next on the list. The real problem here is, the boy from Cuba did manage to make it to the U.S. We will not have any place to escape to...except death! And, for the most part...even though I'm forwarding this to recipients, probably only 5 or 10 will even read it.

WOW, makes me want to literally FIGHT! I know it sounds paranoid but I really do worry the direction things are taking. Even if we do vote them out there are things in place that need to be rooted out and unwritten from the law books. There is a lot of damage to repair. The bad thing in MOST politicians will want that slippery slope power that is now in place.

really stood out to me. That really is a possible direction things could go. Especially since last week Obummer got up and stated the small business branch is NOW a cabinet department. Really looks like things are being put in place.

I went to the gun show Sunday and was amazed. It was packed and this is the south pavillion at the fair grounds, all 3 rooms. I spoke to a police officer and he told me Sat. that the fire marshal shut it down to more folks because the place was over the limit. So as my friend and I walked the show, the big thing was "if I buy here do I have to register". Listening to these folks they spoke openly about Obummer and his underhand antics. I would say that if he continues on his mission that bad things are in store for the dems. These folks are out of work, in need of food and cash to pay bills. They are buying cheap guns, but as one fellow said, I will not go down without a fight. I truly do not understand why it has taken so long to see the damage this idiot has done to the US. Most of you know that I have been preaching this for 2 years. Folks its time to take the bull by the horns and throw his Muslim black arss out the door along with anybody who is behind him!!!!!
