You Politicians Didn't Listen

Share

Getting my watering can ready...I'm sure all those who voted for Obama and Congress, heeding their call for change, didn't expect the same pitiful change we seem to have gotten.  You came into your positions with a mandate from the American People to stop the spending, stop the bailouts, stop over-taxing the people, to clean up corrupt government.  You didn't listen... you don't get it... you failed.

If you can't do the will of the people then the people will do what they have to.

Watch these 4 videos of, by and for the people.  12 MILLION VIEWS and growing.

The Second American Revolution

We The People Stimulus Package

Thomas Paine on to Washington

Open Letter to President Obama

Then read the following article about why some of what those video's say is wrong:

THOMAS PAINE VIDEO: FALSEHOODS AND PROPAGANDA

Then ask yourself, How many more warnings does Congress and the President need before We the People water the tree of liberty?

Former Congressman Jefferson Convicted! 533 Congresspersons To Go

Share

They get into office and forget the people they represent... You can only imagine my elation upon learning that one of the congressional thuggery got his come-uppence.  While I doubt this will be a deterent to the remaining thugs in congress, its a good start.  One by One we should be digging up the dirt on these scoundrels, indicting and convicting them and tossing them from office like the jetsom and flotsam they are.  We should be focusing on the tax and cap 8, those traitorous republicans who sold out americans for the pennies in their pocket.

In case you don't remember who William Jefferson is, I wrote a while back about the congressman who likes his cash tendered cold.  A federal jury convicted the former Louisiana congressman Wednesday of taking bribes on 11 of 16 counts in a case in which agents found $90,000 in his freezer.

He was acquitted of counts including obstruction of justice and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

He was the first official to be charged with violating that act, which makes it illegal to bribe foreign government officials.

Wonder how many diamonds are hidden in the ice of our other elected thieves.

How To Answer the American Community Survey

Share

Obama and Congress want to know everything about you, just say noI've had friends, family and neighbors ask me about this American Community Survey, should they fill it out?  should they lie in their given answers?  Is it an invasion of their privacy by the U.S. Govt.?  What can I do to comply but not give away person private information.

Before I answer those questions and give my readers some ideas about how to answer some of the questions lets look into what the ACS is.  The American Community Survey (ACS) is a project of the U.S. Census Bureau that replaces the long form in the decennial census (the traditional normal census done every 10 years).

The Department of Commerce claims that those who receive a survey form are required to provide answers to a long list of questions about themselves and their families, including their profession, how much money they earn, their source of health insurance, their preferred mode of transportation to and from work, and the amount of money they pay for housing and utilities. Those who decline to answer these questions may receive follow-up phone calls and/or visits to their homes from Census Bureau personnel, and are threatened with prosecution and fines. No person has ever been charged with a crime for refusing to answer the ACS survey, which several US Representatives have challenged as unauthorized by the census act and violative of the Right to Financial Privacy Act.

Not every battle need be fought with a gun, some just take brains.Since the ACS is a government program, there’s lots of information about how the data is collected. I’ll elaborate.

You get a letter in the mail saying to expect a survey in the mail in the next few days. The letter is laced with “this survey is important” language and to complete it as soon as you can.

A few days later you get the questionaire itself.

After a week or two you get a letter saying that response is mandatory and that you’ll be fined and/or imprisoned if you don’t reply to the questionnaire. Another questionnaire is mailed as well. Not nearly as nice now, is it?

At this point the recipients are being bullied into complying. Most surveys are optional. Even when the census is done the only questions that you are legally obligated to answer are for determining representation in the Senate and Congress; you’re required to provide the number of adults and children that reside in your household. ACS is not being touted as optional; “fill this out or pay” is what comes across. The ACS is very clear that up to a $100 can be assessed for not aswering and up to a $500 fine can be assessed for answering fraudulently. Now if it were $100 I’d gladly pay it and move on, but some documentation suggests that the fines are per question. That’s comes out to a lot more money which I don’t have.

There’s inconsistencies here though. An ACS Q&A (PDF) document states that “the police cannot see [my answers to the survey] and no other court of law can see it,” so who’s going to be issuing a fine or doing the imprisoning? Isn’t that the Department of Justice? If the U.S. Census Bureau isn’t allowed access to my tax returns, why should I be obligated to provide them with my annual income? I think they squeezed the authority for mandating a response out of an obscure section of law concerning the census and the the current ACS borders on unreasonable search.

So, I've answered the first three questions people have asked me, but what about the last one.  Here is what I intend to put as my answer for most if not all of the questions should I be so privileged as to get one in the mail.  I will write the exact words, "I have nothing to say" as my answer.  I will not put any of the following as my answer, "I plead the 5th" (they might have made a law to prevent this being used) or "no comment" (thats refusing to answer) or "I don't know" (if they find out you do know, you committed fraud).  I also won't lie in a given answer, because then I'm playing by their rules or breaking their rules.  By simply stating, "I have nothing to say", I've answered the question in such a way that they cannot come back and say I did so fraudulently or I refused to answer.  With the words, "I have nothing to say", I've answered truthfully and to the best of my ability and knowledge.  If I write anything else, I risk getting in trouble.

So, there ya have it, another government invasion of our privacy neutered here on blogacause.

American Government: Social Concensus or Constitutional Republic?

Share

Show me the Real Obama Birth Certificate (click to enlarge)This entry asks the important question, is the United States of America a nation ruled by law or a nation ruled by popular vote?  In his conservative critical article about the ongoing efforts of a few good Americans to force the Pretend President to release his vault birth certificate, David Horowitz underscored the liberal left's socialist thinking and ultimately their ambition for the last 40 years.  That being to take our great society from a constitutional republic to a society vulnerable to the whims and fancy of the U.S. body politic, a change that history has proven over and over will lead to the collapse of our great society as it did to others in the past that made the same err.  Mr. Horowitz's article faux pas could find no other avenue of discourse than to call those of us who support this endeavor, "deranged" and then further insults our fore-fathers by saying society is organic, while questioning the meaning of the tenets of our great constitution, implying that it should morph with the mood of the public.  Horowitz totally fails to recognize that this same Constitution has led our society thru 200 years of solid governance and jurisprudence which made us stable and prosperous when most other countries found themselves beset by turmoil while collapsing from lack of integrity, bloated fiscal policy and a disrespect for the very lives that constitute their oft repressed society.


We should find this lack of respect for our nations founding charter as no surprise in light of Horowitz's upbringing, the son of Marxist's and school teachers in Queens, New York. Its hard to become un-indoctrinated from parental influence, especially such lofty ideas as the benefits of the brotherhood of man and the classless society advances so successfully implemented in Russia and China.


Horowitz even has the audacity to ask if our good crusaders are willing to deny the will of 64 million voters by appealing to five Supreme Court Justices regards Obama's less than forthcoming birth information.  To this I would ask what about the other 240 million members of the population?  Are we to allow their lives to be impacted by a man, who is unwilling to abide by the very constitution he is sworn to uphold, even in the seemingly simple chore of proving legitimate citizenship?  If he is unwilling to perform this very simple directive, then what other aspect of this wonderous charter are left open to his interpretation?


Perhaps Mr. Horowitz, we should vote to send you and your Marxist Tribe back to China or Russia, and let you experience first hand the society you and the Usurper so insidiously seek.

Don't dissent, Don't think, Be a good Comrade"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship." ~ Alexander Tytler

Tea Parties a huge success! But the war rages on...

Share

From Loyal Subjects to Traitorous Rebels!

"When the last dutiful & humble petition from Congress received no other Answer than declaring us Rebels, and out of the King’s protection, I from that Moment look’d forward to a Revolution & Independence, as the only means of Salvation; and will risque the last Penny of my Fortune, & the last Drop of my Blood upon the Issue."
~ George Mason, Oct. 2, 1778

When was the last time you read the Bill of Rights and our great U.S. Constitution?

Millions of Americans poured into the streets across these great United States on April 15th, 2009 to let our elected congressmen and women know of our extreme displeasure with the way that they have been governing our great country.  You got your wake up call, you den of vipers!  This movement, this re-revolution if you will, shall not stop until you have undone the damage you have foisted upon this great country. 

The way I see this happening is one of two ways, you congresspersons can renounce your allegiance to the One World Government Elite or you can be voted from office and replaced by persons who are loyal to the Republic of the United States of America.  The former option brings with it your assured arrest regards charges of treason, dereliction of duty to your elected office and theft of public funds just to name a few.

It is not enough my fellow Americans to just go into the streets for one day out of the year.  Or to think that the den of thieves and liars in the District of Chums will be swayed from this one event.  We must continue this fight to reclaim our Republic. 

I am therefore proposing that we unite as one people in a show of unity, regardless of our political, racial, social or sexual differences or affiliations. 

I further propose that we move forward under the guidance of the Committees of Safety as written about by Devvy Kidd in her article entitled, "LOTS OF TEA PARTIES - AND THEN?".  You can read and hand out the Committees of Safety Flyer which is basically their declaration of goals.  In summary of those goals:

  1. Enabling individual preparation and local coordination necessary to secure adequate supply of the essentials of life.
  2. Promoting free commerce, the right of property and a constitutional sound monetary system;
  3. Developing a system of security and defense for all Americans and their communities; and
  4. Decreasing apathy and increasing vigilance with respect to the operations of our political system and elected or appointed public officials.

We must also support and join with Tommy Cryer's organization, Truth Attack.org which has been highly effective nationwide in getting concise information to "taxpayers" on April 15th at post offices around the country. However, with this new tea party craze, thousands, if not tens of thousands will be herded in a different direction: Venting their anger at a tea party and then what? Write your congressman? Write the usurper president? America crossed the Rubicon last summer and the worst is yet to come. Instead of millions being encouraged to stand with the tens of thousands from Truth Attack.org to get Americans the truth about the income tax (domestic Americans are NOT subject to the federal income tax), let's herd the sheeple into more feel good exercises. Let them vent, wave signs and flags, go home and write letters proclaiming, "We'll remember in November!!!" Yeah, that worked real well last November when all but about 27 seats out of 435 changed. More socialists were "elected," while constitutionalists were shunned by the media and voters who shouted they wanted "change!" What they did was re-elect the same crooks who have brought destruction and misery to our country.

Do you know what the New World Order agenda is? Loot and bankrupt this republic until the people are so desperate they will get down on their knees and beg for mother government to "save them." The goal is world government brought on by an engineered financial crisis. Here is a superb analysis of how things stand today.

We must mobilize now! We must plan and prepare now! We must Unite as One people, not hundred of little groups! We must have direction from leaders who know! Devvy Kidd and the Committees of Safety along with great leaders like Ron Paul are our only hope. Be assured this conflict will be dangerous, at stake are trillions of dollars, and the very lives of our selves and our children. The Elite of the New World Order care not for your well-being, nor that of your children. We have only to look at the hundreds of tiny wars and despotic rulers the world over, which have caused millions dead in the last 8 years, to see the murderous intent of these global thugs.

Be a part of real change, not chump change. Join a revolution that will never be forgotten. The survival of the World depends on it!

Stay tuned for timely information on what you can do to help us win!

FBI screws up again, This is what we must fight against

Share

FBI will enforce Obamessiah worshipIs this even legal in America?  Can a company be shut down because of the actions of someone not even associated or employed by the company?  And can the government legally shut down a company that provides emergency public services and by doing so endanger the lives of 100,000 citizens?  How long America before you take back your country from the swine who have invaded our parlor?


The FBI hauled away millions worth of computer servers from a company called Core IP Networks during a Wednesday raid in downtown Dallas.


But it affected a number of businesses that were not under investigation and about 100,000 phone customers across the country have lost part of their 911 service.


Matthew Simpson is the owner of that company. He says his home was also raided.


Simpson says the FBI is after a former client who may have used servers to pirate movies and software.  But innocent companies are also effected including AT&T, Google, which both had equipment at the building at 2323 Bryant St.  Locally, Classic Chevy lost its e-mail. A small ad agency is locked out of the internet and a small phone company -- Sitcom in McKinney -- says all its customers have lost service and access to 911.


"It's like an apartment building. If you have 500 tenants and one of them has a meth lab inside his apartment, they don't hold the apartment liable for that guys actions. But that's what the FBI is trying to do here," said Simpson.


Simpson also estimates 100,000 phone customers across Texas, and the country, are now without E-911 service, which provides dispatchers with information about where you're calling from.


The FBI will not say who is under investigation.


And unfortunately for the companies who rely on those servers the FBI says it may be several days or more before their service can be restored.


Original Article at Dallas News


The speculation in IT circles is that this is related to the pirating of the upcoming X-Men movie. No less ominous... in fact, even more incredible that copyright infringement investigation may result in an entire hosting service-center being shut down.


The taxpayers are robbed of trillions and get nothing but pillow talk, but the entertainment industry gets a film pirated and the FBI movesin a task force.

Join The Washington D.C. Teabag Party, April 1st, 2009

Share

Would you like more taxes with that Tea Sir?To the SILENT MAJORITY:

 

If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEABAG.  Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the same way.  Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.


On April 1, 2009, all Ameicans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washinton , D.C.  You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire.

Just a TEABAG.  

This was not my idea.  I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Pary' and an online survey showed over 90% of thousands said they would send the teabag on April 1.  Why, April 1?? 

We want them to reach Washington by April 15.   Will you do it?  I am.  Send it to:    1600 Pennsylvania Ave. , Washington , D.C. 20500.

 

Don't be a dummy!There's a storm a brewin'.  What happens when good, responsible  people keep quiet?  Washington has forgotten they work for us.  We don't work for them.  Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. 

I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. 

I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes. 

I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. 

I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, knowingly, bought more house than they could afford. 

I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. 

I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen.  I pay my taxes.  I live on a budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make.  I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written without reading it first.  No one listened.  They voted for it, pork and all. 


Forward this to everyone in your address book.  Visit the website below for more information about the 'New American Tea Party'.  I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1.  Can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, it is going up as we speak, but have your envelope ready.  What will this cost you?  A little time and a 42 or 44 cent stamp.

What could you receive in benefits?  Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials will start to listen to the people.  Take out the Pork.  Tell us how the money is being spent.  We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.  Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5 years.  It is not too late.

Congressional Logic and Paterson's Choice to fill Hillary's Senate Seat

Share

As most of you know, Governor Paterson (NY - Democrat) appointed Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY- Democrat) to serve the remaining Senate term of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  Paterson's decision was hailed by several top state Democrats and I applaud his choice... just goes to show you what can happen when a decision is made with a blind eye to color, creed, race or religion.

Gun Control Advocates All Star listHowever, there does appear to be one snark in the mix, that being Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, a strong advocate of gun control, told CNN's Mary Snow on Friday that Paterson is "making a very bad choice as far as picking someone who in my opinion doesn't represent New York state."

McCarthy, whose husband was shot to death, said she boycotted the press conference in Albany, New York, because Paterson was "picking the person who I obviously do not agree with."

McCarthy said she's fought for tougher gun safety measures and cited Gillibrand's strong support for Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment deals with the right to bear arms.

Gillibrand, however, touts her support of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System Improvement Act, which provides incentives to states to update background checks, according to Gillibrand's congressional Web site.

While I certainly understand McCarthy's efforts to foist more gun control on a population resistant to such government oversight or control, lets put this in a perspective even she will understand.

Lets suppose I'm married and my wife goes out and buys hotdogs for dinner and we grill those.  After eating these delicious hotdogs, my wife falls sick and dies.  Its later determined that the hotdogs were tainted with salmonella and that is what caused her to die.  Because of my grief I run for office and upon my election to said office I immediately begin a campaign using all the power that my office is inherent of to ban hotdogs forever.  I do so with little affect but I still rage on against the hotdogs all because of my poor wife.

Of Course Hitler wanted Gun ControlNow, down the hall from my elected office another elected person decides to celebrate with a party for all the other elected persons so he can waste some taxpayer money and get a free meal at the same time and at that party he serves up grilled hotdogs and hamburgers.  I'm outraged, how dare he serve the very food item that killed my poor wife, I protest to all the major media and to anyone who will listen.

The next day I get a letter in my office which says, "Maybe you should just eat the hamburgers..."

So Rep. McCarthy, the moral here is, guns in the hands of citizens and militia freed this country and they continue to be a deterrent against oppressive governments and tyrants.  With all due respect to your husband, have a hamburger.

Be a real American and take up your arms

Share

We've all read how americans are buying firearms in record numbers now that Prez-lect Obama is in da house.  Seems to me we be needing to teach them there americans how to use dem der weapons.  So I recommend you firstly join the NRA and then check out The Appleseed Project

The Appleseed Program is designed to take you from being a simple rifle owner to being a true rifleman. All throughout American history, the rifleman has been defined as a marksman capable of hitting a man-sized target from 500 yards away — no ifs, ands or buts about it. This 500-yard range is traditionally known as "the rifleman's quarter-mile;" a rifleman can hit just about any target he can see. This skill was particulary evident in the birth of our country, and was the difference in winning the Revolutionary War.

This country was founded and won by riflemen who fought and beat British forces. The Appleseed project invites all interested marksmen to learn the skills and techniques necessary to shoot proficiently; and then hope you'll participate in teaching and practicing with others so that together we can save this great land. Why you? Well, that's simple: if you're on this page we're betting you're a patriot, and we hope you answer the call. 

We all know Bama ain't got the cahones to turn this country around, he is glued, shued and screwed by his masters who bought and paid for his election.  Time to learn how to defend your family, home and land of your fathers.

Keep in mind this great statement from the Appleseed project: 

"The Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) is a gun club and an instructional school that teaches rifle shooting techniques; and also desires to maintain the heritage of the American Rifleman.

We have no affiliation with, nor do we promote or encourage, any subversive or quasi-subversive entities or acts against the United States of America or against the American People, inside or outside U.S. borders.

Any and all instruction and training conducted by RWVA is done in accordance with Federal, State and Local Laws and regulations. RWVA does not and will not train any foreign or domestic entity(ies) that could pose a threat to — or has denounced — the United States of America."

Nothing wrong with being prepared....

U.S. is 2 states away from a real Constitutional crisis, a constitutional convention

Share

Bob Unruh of the World Net Daily wrote that the public policy organization, American Policy Institute, has issued an urgent alert stating affirmative votes are needed from only two more states before a Constitutional Convention could be assembled in which "today's corrupt politicians and judges" could formally change the U.S. Constitution's "'problematic' provisions to reflect the philosophical and social mores of our contemporary society."

"Don't for one second doubt that delegates to a Con Con wouldn't revise the First Amendment into a government-controlled privilege, replace the 2nd Amendment with a 'collective' right to self-defense, and abolish the 4th, 5th, and 10th Amendments, and the rest of the Bill of Rights," said the warning.

"Additions could include the non-existent separation of church and state, the 'right' to abortion and euthanasia, and much, much more," the group said.

Most worrisome is that Barack Obama, who is to be voted the next president by the Electoral College, has expressed his belief that the U.S. Constitution needs to be interpreted through the lens of current events.  Hmm.  So the fact that it has served us well for over 200 years means nothing to you O' Great Exalted Electedness? 

Obama has stated repeatedly his desire for empathetic judges who "understand" the plight of minorities, and what better way to get those empathetic judges than to have a constitution that allows this.  What plight might that be, President-elect Obama?  Crack Cocaine use?  Inner city ghettoes that are so dangerous that even the police won't go there at night?  Out of wedlock birth rates in the black community unequaled by any other minority anywhere else in the world?  Or would that empathy need by force of law via your new constitutional authority be extended to those animals who commited the horrific murder of Channon Christian and Hugh Newsom?  Or perhaps the empathetic judge will attend the "We killed whitey party" after he sets their killers free?  Yes, I see you've thought this out clearly and concisely, planning for all the possible misgivings of such a change... because we have it on good authority Mr. Obama that your much smarter than the founding fathers of this country.

Obama, In a 2007 speech to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, he said, "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."

Obama also committed himself to respecting the Constitution but said the founding document must be interpreted in the context of current affairs and events.  My question is President-elect Obama, whose current affairs and events would you be referring too?  Those of the minorities within this great nation?  Or will majority prevail?  For some reason, I just don't think you care about the majority... and you certainly have motive and circumstance of want to change our wonderful constitution.  Oops, now why would I say that?!  

An associate at a Chicago law firm whose partner served on a finance committee for Obama has advocated simply abandoning the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born" citizen.  Imagine that Mr. Obama, it would solve your current problem regarding your inability to come clean and produce a valid certified vault birth certificate, said certificate or lack thereof questioned of recent even before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Oh Yeah, I also forgot to mention that Obama believes the Constitution is flawed, because it fails to address wealth redistribution, and he says the Supreme Court should have intervened years ago to accomplish that.  Obama said in a 2001 radio interview the Constitution is flawed in that it does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth.  Obama told chicago public radio station WBEZ-FM that "redistributive change" is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.

For a good synopsis of how redistribution under his exalted electedness will work, check out my humorous find here.

Tom DeWeese, who runs the center said that the possibilities stunned him when he discovered lawmakers in Ohio are considering a call for a Constitutional Convention. He explained that 32 other states already have taken that vote, and only one more would be needed to require Congress to name convention delegates who then would have more power than Congress itself.

"The U.S. Constitution places no restriction on the purposes for which the states can call for a convention," the alert said. "If Ohio votes to call a Constitutional Convention, for whatever purpose, the United States will be only one state away from total destruction. And it's a safe bet that those who hate this nation, and all She stands for, are waiting to pounce upon this opportunity to re-write our Constitution."

You can read the full and very informative article here.

So, overall a pretty chilling read when one considers we've allowed the foxes to guard the hen house.  Again, I offer the following solution for our neurotic gray matter challenged brethren in the U.S. Congress.  DO NOT let anyone mess with the Constitution of these United States of America for any reason.  This great constitution has served this country well for over 200 years and should be able to do so in its present form for another 200 years.  The only reason any one would have designs of changing it would be if they want to undermine the integrity of this great nation.  I believe that is exactly what Prez-lect Obama and his minority crew want to do... destroy the country that has given even them the opportunity for greatness.

Plumbing, Obama and the Redistribution of Your Wealth

Share
Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama's house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood and where it's clear that all the residents make more than $250,000 per year.
Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it's an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes.
Obama asks Joe how much it will cost.
Joe immediately says, "$9,500."
"$9,500?" Obama asks, stunned. "But you said it's an easy repair!"
"Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free," explains Joe. "It's always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It's known as 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.' Surprised you haven't heard of it, Senator."
In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there's no way he's paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Joe leaves.
Obama spends the next hour flipping through the phone book looking for another plumber, but he finds that all other plumbing businesses listed have gone out of business. Not wanting to pay Joe's price, Obama does nothing.
The leak under Obama's sink goes unrepaired for the next several days.
A week later the leak is so bad that Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every hour, and there's a risk that the room will flood, so Obama calls Joe and pleads with him to return.
Joe goes back to Obama's house, looks at the leaky pipe, and says, "Let's see – this will cost you about $21,000."
"A few days ago you told me it would cost $9,500!" Obama quickly fires back. Joe explains the reason for the dramatic increase.
"Well, because of the 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act,' a lot of rich people are learning how to fix their own plumbing, so there are fewer of you paying for all the free plumbing I'm doing for the people who make less than $250,000. As a result, the rate I have to charge my wealthy paying customers rises every day."
"Not only that," adds Joe, "but for some reason the demand for plumbing work from the group of people who get it for free has skyrocketed, and there's a long waiting list of those who need repairs. This has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business, and they're not being replaced – nobody is going into the plumbing business because they know they won't make any money. I'm hurting now too – all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won't pay their fair share."
Obama tries to straighten out the plumber: "Of course you're hurting, Joe! Don't you get it? If all the rich people learn how to fix their own plumbing and you refuse to charge the poorer people for your services, you'll be broke, and then what will you do?"
Joe immediately replies, "Run for president, apparently."

Blagojevich says: "business as usual"

Share

One day after his arrest, his career in shreds, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich clung defiantly to power Wednesday, ignoring a call to step down from President-elect Barack Obama and a warning that Senate Democrats will not let him appoint a new senator from the state.

"At the end of the day, the top priority for our office is to serve the people, and we have not lost sight of that, nor will we lose sight of that," Kelley Quinn, his spokeswoman, said.

Wow, the arrogant gall of this micro-tyrant.  Sounds to me Gov. as if your only serving yourself.  And sorry to say, you lost sight of your offices responsibilities a long time ago.  What is it with you worthless politicians?  Have you no shame?  When will congress and state legislatures do the right thing and make it a law that if you are indicted for anything over a misdemeanor while in office you shall be forced to step down from your position?  Oh duh me, that means the whole gang 535 in Washington D.C. would potentially have to step down if their larcenous, thieving and underhanded ways came to light.

And what about you, the citizens of Illinois, will you just sit passively by while this man runs rough shod over your state?  What will it take for the normal man on the street to say enough is enough?  Could you at least pick up the phone and call a politician and say we are tired of this type of person in politics?

Oh well, I digress, you all deserve the government your paying for.  In light of that, it was quite humorous to see that some in the news media still had a sense of humor.  Take a gander at U.S.A. vs. Blagojevich--What the Feds Left Out

William Jefferson loses re-election bid.

Share

La. voters oust indicted Rep. William Jefferson!

Voters in Louisiana sent two Republicans to Congress on Saturday, ousting indicted Democratic U.S. Rep. William Jefferson.  Remember this clown?  He is the one that federal agents found $90,000 dollars in alleged bribe money wrapped in plastic hidden in his freezer.  The 61-year-old Jefferson has pleaded not guilty to charges of bribery, laundering money and misusing his congressional office.

The 2007 indictment claims Jefferson received more than $500,000 in bribes and demanded millions more between 2000 and 2005, including the $90,000 found in the freezer of his Washington home.  Jefferson denies wrongdoing.

No trial date has been set.  That's another thing that really angers me greatly about this, if it was you or i that took these bribes as common citizens we would have been swiftboated thru court and be sitting in jail within months.  Yet this esteem congressman is still walking around free and still has his job!  Wake up America!

What I found most interesting was how people thought about this.  Take for instance the following, "People are innocent until proven guilty," said Faye Leggins, 54, an educator and Democrat who moved back to the city six months ago and still has fresh memories of Hurricane Katrina. She voted for Jefferson on Saturday. "He has enough seniority, so he can do a lot to redevelop this city."

Sure he does, but in all the time he has been in congress since Katrina, has the city of New Orleans benefited from his seniority?  Is the city rebuilt?  Do the people there have their homes back?  Did he use his seniority to pressure the insurance companies to treat people fairly?  A resounding "NO" to all of these questions.  And yet, she voted for him because he has seniority.  What about voting for someone who is honest?  Who has Integrity?  Who truly cares about his constituents?

I've said this before, but I think in Ms. Leggins case it deserves to be said again.  "You can not solve problems with the same mentality that created the problem."  In other words, we keep voting for the same Senators and Representatives, hoping that they will use their "seniority" to make things all better.  When in fact, they have no desire or impetus to do so because then their PAC and corporate buddies would not be lining their pockets with freezer bills.

In ending, I'm glad to see one of the congressional weasels got the citizen axe.  I can only hope that he gets a fair and honest trial, with a fair and honest verdict, and a fair and honest sentence.

"A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security." - Samuel Adams
