THE FALLACY OF THE STRATEGY OF

BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES FOR 2012

Written on November 1, 2011 posted: January 29, 2012

            Since the national election of 2010, when the republican party and its members, gained ground against the bumbling and fumbling democratic president and congress, they think they have the democratic president and congress, they think they have the democrats on the ropes.  They have decided that the president and congress are held in such ill repute by the American people, all they need to do is to defeat the democrats, then they will be back in power, finish the demolition of the country that was started in 1985 by a republican congress and the democratic president Clinton with the passage of free trade legislation.

            With the economy in shambles and the democrat's failure to improve the unemployment situation, crippling the country for the last three years, the republicans feel they can defeat Obama and regain control of the senate while increasing their majority in congress, keep their ten year tax breaks for the 1% of rich Americans, repeal the Obama health care law, reduce the national budget and debt, cut Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security, reduce or eliminate the minimum wage, and continue to run slipshod over the helpless American worker and their unions for their sole benefit and advantage.  In this way, they plan to get richer, while the poor and middle class get poorer and become slaves to rich's greed.

            In the meantime, Obama and the democrats have already started to beat their drums, by showing he and the country inherited this mess from former president Bush and the republicans.  They have been working hard to improve the situation, by helping the unions and those political crony public employees, all unionized and protected by the democrats passing a useless health bill that increases medical costs instead of lowering them, passed a phony credit card bill, that increases the interest charged by the lender to near 30% while the stimulus bill only helped people in office or holding public jobs.  Obama and his democrats have done nothing to make the banks and lending institutions, who have caused this recession, give relief to homeowners whose mortgages are "underwater" while they allow real estate values to drop every month to a point they have, on average, lost 50% of their value putting more property underwater each month.

            Obama and the democrats have the following plan and argument, yes things are tough, but the republicans have caused it and will continue to rape and raid this country, if, you put them back into power.  So, in effect their argument boils down to a choice of the lessor of two evils, so they feel assured they can win this argument to win re-election in 2012.  The trouble with each of these plans is that it assumes the American people have one choice only keep Obama and the democrats in power or elect a new republican president and a congress with a republican majority in both houses to give the republicans free rein to destroy our country in the next two to four years.

            Of course, the fallacy of these arguments and plan is, they assume the American people must choose only between on political party or another.  They forget how disenchanted, disgusted and discouraged the American people are about their government which has been operating alternatively with one party or another in power for the last 30 years, while jobs have been allowed to escape overseas to cheap labor markets at the expense of the American worker.  They forget that OPEC and the American oil producers have joined together since 1973 when EPEC began the oil embargo and then doubled, tripled, quadrupled and more gas and fuel oil prices.  All while congress and successive presidents allowed this to continue by accepting big campaign contributions from big oil and big business, which now control congress and every president, year after year with money, while us foolish American's perpetuate the situation by continuously re-electing them to office to continue their pilfering of our country and people.

            For the last couple of years this country has witnessed an awakening to the problem by the American people.  They now realize who the culprits are, the very representatives they have elected to congress and the presidency.  Money and political power rule the politician parties and its elected members.  That is why they usually vote in lockstep against each other as they line up like armies for the battle instead of acting as the represtatives of all the American people, as they should.  Witness what has happened since the American people foolishly voted in a republican dominated House of Representatives in 2010.  The American people thought they would show their anger at the Obama administration and congress for their lack of progress to help the economy and the unemployment and mortgage problems.  Instead they got a dysfunctional congress that cannot agree on anything except a plan to destroy each other and no help for us Americans.

            My suggestion, at this time is simple, we can let them have their way and destroy both of them with one vote in 2012, from each of us voters, and be rid of representatives whom only help themselves and no one else especially the
American people, they should be representing.  This can be done by voting only for an independent candidate and not a member of either political party.

            Let the American people demonstrate, that money contributions by corporations and big business interests cannot buy an election, but rather the vote of the American people is what trumps money and the power of both political parties.  At least the independent candidate you elect will be beholden only to the people who elect them.  If they fail to do that to the satisfaction of the American people, they will, in turn, not be re-elected but replaced until we have the right people in office.  In the final analysis, we cannot and should not keep making the same mistakes by electing members of one party or another to office each term since we know how they will represent as they have proven in the past.

            The drums of this movement have begun to beat in every city and town with demonstrations by "We the People" and "Occupy Wall Street." Their message gets louder each day, as it should, while the message gets stronger, the American people want a fool proof plan and immediate action for relief, today not after the next election.  The march to congress has begun.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA VOTE RESULTS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

THE BIGOTRY OF THE MAJORITY OF EVANGELICAL BAPTISTS AND

BORN AGAIN CHRISTAINS.

      January 23, 2012

          No one is surprised at the vote results of South Carolina and its 65% of die hard, hard headed bigots, whose reputation goes back to 1865 at the end of the American Civil War.

         They have given a resounding victory to another favored southerner, Newt Gingrich, a tried a true adulterer, who divorced his dying wife while committing adultery at the same time he led the charge to impeach a sitting president for the same adulterous conduct as he, the hypocrite, was committing, a short time later he was found guilty of financial misconduct while sitting as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position he was forced to resign in disgrace. This man has no moral character, ethical standards and is devoid of trust and dependability, along with the reputation of a scoundrel a carnival barker and pied piper.  These die hard southerners, shamelessly dug down to the bottom of the political barrel to choose this phony politician who, over the years, has filled his deep pockets, from the public with ill gotten money of the American taxpayers while helping no one but himself.

         These South Carolina voters are the same bigots as their ancestors who are still smarting from losing the American Civil War because of their steadfast denial of freedom to their black slaves.  When freed by President Lincoln, a republican, they changed their party to democrats, in protest, and subjugated and continually denied them their freedom for the next one hundred years, upon the passage of the civil right bill by then president Johnson a democrat and courageous Texan.  Ironically, the southerners changed back to republicans as a protest to the granting of civil rights nationally to all blacks in 1963, and have remained so, since then.

        This is a classic example of repeated organized bigotry by a certain section of the country just because blacks were finally granted the human rights of freedom they themselves claim and have enjoyed as American citizens since our founding fathers fought and died for it in 1776.

        These are the same southerners whose preachers say that one of the fellow republican presidential candidates is not a Christian because he is a Mormon, while they, themselves are a renegade offshoot of the Catholic faith they abandoned, when Henry the Eighth, King of England, wanted to shed himself of his wife, contrary to the vows he made, "to cherish and love, until death do you part" the Catholic church considers them all excommunicated ex-believers.

        The irony of it all is contained in the U. S. Constitution, under the first amendment, under "freedom of religion," which specifically states, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ".  In addition, Article Six, paragraph "C" of the U. S. Constitution states, "oath of office, and no religious test".  The senators and representatives, members of the state legislature and all executive and judicial offices ---- but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification for any office or public trust in the United States of America."  Yet the hypocrite Southerners, want to use religion, alone as the test of the qualifications for a presidential office holder, in spite of the constitution.  In addition they fervently want to impose their religious beliefs and wills as to abortions and gay marriages upon the will of all the American people by law, when the constitution prohibits it, since this is a moral or religious issue.  They claim life begins at inception when the law says it begins upon birth.

      They continue to say that family values are at the core of their religion, while they continually divorce their spouses at will, in violation of the vows they made when wed, "...to love honor and obey, until death do we  part."   It is reasonable to assume, those of the Catholic faith the religion they cast off conveniently, is obviously more attuned to family values.

       All their republican demands for less government is nothing but a ploy to provide less government help to the unemployed, a majority of whom are black, and the infirmed masses who cannot help themselves.  The trick word is also "free enterprise" which, to them means, everyone must pull themselves up by their own boot straps or they cannot survive in their society.  As Gingrich recently said, "take a bath and get a job!"  He also said, "how come food stamps went up even though unemployment went down."  That is the Southerners' punishment for the blacks, now mostly democrats, for gaining their freedom and obtaining their civil rights enforced by the government of the United States.   The poor, infirmed and disabled are damned.

      Thanks be to God, they are in the minority, otherwise, the blacks, Jews Catholics, non Protestants, the unfortunates in the United States of America and the Mormons, would be excluded and punished in their perceived, but warped society, where they are the only true Christians.

       In my opinion, the "born again Christians" and their churches are the last vestiges and safe haven for the remnants of the infamous K. K. K.

WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE IN 2012

Written on October 20, 2011

                What a choice we have for 2012, vote for a democrat and get a tax hike, vote for a republican and only the rich get a tax break while the rest of us suckers, pay higher taxes.

          None of the "presidential want-to-be" have a good plan to put the unemployed back to work, because our democrat and republican representatives in Washington have sold out to big business who have moved their operations overseas in search of cheaper labor because the democratic backed union workers have priced our products out of the world markets.  Now, those big corporations see a chance to pay fewer taxes and higher profits at the expense of the rest of us suckers, the American people.

          The republicans do not want full employment because that would make the big bad union workers stronger and as a result they can't eliminate the minimum wage law and make slaves out of us stupid Americans who keep foolishly voting for one political party and then another in disgust and disappointment only to receive more disappointment and disgust, year after year from the other party members.

          At least two of the republican presidential hopefuls have gimmick tax relief plans, centered on a "flat tax" that gives the rich ten times the tax saving the middle class receive.  These plans will kill our country and lessen tax revenue.

          Everyone knows we need to put Americans back into permanent good paying jobs, which have been lost overseas because of the tree trade system, but nobody has a plan to do this because they are paid by big business interests to expand the free trade system, which in truth should be eliminated in order to get the much needed jobs back here in the U. S. A.  The economy will never recover until and unless we solve the unemployment problem and have a quick alternative energy plan to control energy costs.

          The national budges and debt needs to be addressed because it is so big, it is not manageable, but all the politicians say they cannot balance the budget for ten more years.  By that time we will be 25 trillion dollars in debt and the interest paid on this enormous debt will bankrupt the country.

          In the meantime, most Americans stay out of the affray and leave it to others to get involved, when their vote is needed to people's plan for a real fast economic recovery in this country.  This is the people's country not that of the very representatives who have elected and re-elected to do as they please and represent everyone but the American people.

          The American people need to wake up to this serious problem and take part in the solution as they must to have a country "...of the people and by the people..."  Unless the jobs problems are solved within the next year, we will lost our freedom and our country to big money and big business interests who have brought us to this state of affairs, because Americans have allowed it to happen.

MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2012

(WHAT IS YOURS?)

December 31, 2011

                   I have been making New Year's resolutions, since I can remember.  Of course this has been an American tradition; most of us feel obliged to follow.  We think of the resolutions that we have failed to keep the previous year, the things we have done wrong during the year, and usually renew those resolutions hopefully to make us better persons during the next year.  It is like a re- awakening of our responsibilities to our families our, friends and the country we love.  It makes us feel good to do this.  It is like we were confessing our mistakes and vowing not to make them again.

                   Making a New Year's resolution is not like the vows we make when we become Christians in the Church of God, or when we marry and make our vows to our spouse.

It is not like the pledge we made right after Pearl Harbor to fight to the death for the defense of our country to love honor and obey our constitution.  All these are serious commitments made for a lifetime and promises we had to keep.

                   The resolutions we make each year are more casual, personal, and an honest effort to correct and improve our relations with others.  But on reflection, I think these resolutions are vitally necessary because they define who we are and how we act.  It has to do with honesty dedication and concern for our fellow man and the country we have come to love deeply.   We have been put on this earth and in this great country through the sacrifice and love of our parents.  We enjoy the freedoms and opportunities in this country because of the love and sacrifice of our forefathers, during the revolutionary war and all the wars, sacrifices and challenges our country has had to face since then.

                   All these freedoms and opportunities do not come to us free, they were bought and paid for by those who preceded us, and handed down to us just like the lessons and principals our parents taught us to follow.  When we partake of what this country offers us, it comes with a responsibility to provide a better life for our children and others just as was provided to us.  It is always the goal of parents to provide a better life and future for their children than they themselves had.  That is why our parents and families have spent their entire lives nurturing and training us to take their places in a better world and way of life they were able to have.

                   As for me and my wife, Rose, we have raised a family of six children and tried to make their lives better than we enjoyed.  When we married, we had a goal in life to see me through college and law school so we and our family could enjoy a better life.  We have been able to succeed in these goals and provide for our children who have now left the nest and are living out their lives as they desire.

                   We have come to the twilight of our lives, in our eighties, where we do not need to worry about work or money, our children are all set and we feel satisfied to have accomplished all our goals.  We should be able to enjoy the few remaining years of our lives without worry or concern, except we cannot relax and enjoy those remaining years and we worry about the future and those who will follow us.

                   Today we are in the middle of a very serious recession, much like we personally experienced during the 1930's and the great depression.  This economic downturn has lasted since 2007 and we see it continuing because our leaders in Washington do not have a plan or clue about how to end it.  Our unemployment figures are stuck at about 10%, a figure that insures more problems ahead.  Something drastic and quickly must be done to reverse this problem.  When you add the fact that our national budget is more than one and a half trillion dollars over what our treasury income, and we have a national debt of about 17 trillion dollars with no real plan to pay it off quickly.  It would be criminal and wrong for our government leaders to leave this debt to future generations of Americans to pay, yet, I see and hear most Americans who have jobs worry not about those who don't, maybe because the government has taken the same position, "tough luck" they say, the sad fact is that this trend is bound to get worse because all the factory and manufacturing jobs have gone overseas in search of cheap labor and this country just cannot survive as a service nation without these industries.  Our construction industry is out of work because our real estate values continue to drop with more and more mortgages in foreclosure since they become "underwater," with more added weekly.

                   All this concern on our part comes from the fact we experienced the hunger and anguish of the great depression and the challenges to our freedom in World War II.  It was those two events that united this country as it did during the only other time, the American revolution of 1776.  Also it is our civic duty and obligation to help our country and people at this most serious time for our country.

                   If you don't know it, this country is controlled by big business and labor unions each of which control the republican and democratic parties.  Everything that happens in Washington is for their benefit through the huge campaign contributions they make to our representatives in Washington, including our president.  We the American people have lost control of our country through our own inattention to what was happening in Washington.

                   We are prone to make all kinds of excuses for not getting involved in this dirty game of politics.  Many people say, "...my vote doesn't count what can, I do about it?  I don't even vote anymore!  No matter whom we put into office nothing changes. "The problem is, that Wall Street big businesses and thee labor unions and our two political parties have wrested control of our country from us because we allowed it to happen while we gave free rein to our elected officials.  They have already bankrupted our country in the process and only care about the profit they can make.

                   If the American people don't stand up and take notice and do something about this situation, we will soon be owned by China, we will be communist and lose all our freedoms.    That is your choice, and it will be the people's fault for letting them get away with stealing our country.  Your vote together with everyone else does count and you should realize the power of that vote when organized.

                   Therefore, my New Year's resolution is to speak out and vote out all the members of congress and our "lazy" president, Obama, and replace them with independent candidates in 2012 as our only hope to save our country as we know and enjoy it.  What is your choice?  Do not tell me you were not warned.  Your inaction will cause your own downfall; you have an obligation to help save your country.  You must act now, before it is too late!
