Doesn’t this kinda explain on why you should vote for McCain.  Also keep in mind that Lincoln was a Democrat.  Man how times have changed!

Wise Words - Abraham Lincoln

During this political season let’s be reminded of these wise words.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s
initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could
and should do for themselves.

- Abraham Lincoln

About a year ago, I would have voted for Obama.  I have changed my mind three times since then.  I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy.  But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News, you might get some middle ground to work with.

About six months ago, I started thinking, ‘Where did the money come from for Obama?’  I have four daughters who went to college, and we were middle class, and money was tight.  We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.  I started looking into Obama’s life.  Around 1979, Obama started college at Occidental in California .  He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies.  ‘Barry’ (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip.  Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family.  My question - Where did he get the money for this trip?  Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college.  When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York .  It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barak - not Barry.  Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ?  It’s not cheap to say the least.  Where did he get money for tuition?  Student Loans maybe ?

After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000  Year.  Why Chicago ?  Why not New York ?  He was already living in New York . By ‘chance’ he met Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago .  Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Decade’ by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association.  About two hears later, Obama entered Harvard Law School .  Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ?  Where did he get the money for Law School ?  More student loans?

After law school, he went back to Chicago   Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down.  But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.  Guess what?  They represented ‘Rezar’ which was Rezko’s firm.  Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago .  In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with ’seed money’ for his U.S. Senate race.  In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than the asking price.  With ALL those Student Loans? Where did he get the money for the property?  On the same day, Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price.

The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased.  Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.  Now that we have Obama running for President.  Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama’s boss.  She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.  Where was Jarrett born?  Ready for this?  Shiraz , Iran !  Do we see a pattern here?  Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008, the Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama was ’sacked after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas,’ which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran .

This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘take care of things.’

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ?  They are in charge of all these ’small’ Internet campaign contributions for Obama.  Where is that money coming from?  The poor and middle class in this country?  Or could it be from the Middle East ?  And the final bit of news.  On September 7, 2008, the Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on ‘This Week’ with George Stephanapoulos.  Obama on talking about his religion said, ‘My Muslim faith…’  When questioned, ‘he made a mistake.’  Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line.  If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barak Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett; Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times, May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven’t all of our ‘intelligent’ members of the press been reporting this?  A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - ‘Beware of the enemy from within’!’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep s%#t.’

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won’t be given serious consideration.  How great is our bureaucracy!!

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a, We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it’ll be there.

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth.

Pay for your parent’s medical insurance - health care improves.

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else.

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back.  And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 (’vote buy’) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.

Sure it’s a crazy idea that can ‘never work.’

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion.

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington, DC.

And remember, the Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh…I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk

PS:  Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it’s either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of   the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper   may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to   the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the   building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first  floor  the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign   reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’

So she continues upward. The third floor sign   reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good   Looking.

‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep   going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign   reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and  Help  With Housework.

‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand   it!’

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign   reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with   Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic   Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign   reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this   floor.. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to   please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband   Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

How To Save the Government $5 Million:

A president’s pension currently is $191,300 per year and ends when they turn age 80.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.

Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How’s that for non-partisan thinking???

Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan’s strategy to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was extremely interesting and well structured and informed. He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on global trends and the future, etc. I think he is in semi-retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well known mountain climber and adventurer.

**********************************
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn’t, not a genetic drop of, is ‘African-American,’ the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn’t a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It’s something Hillary doesn’t understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals’ Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Pass this on to every thinking American you know!

The writer of this essay is Jerry Molen, an Academy Award winning Hollywood Producer, who produced Jurassic Park , Hook, Rain Man and many more classic movies, and who won the Academy Award for
Schindler’s List.

Jerry is one of the very few conservatives in Hollywood but wants to include Democrats.

He says:

We are about to make the Mother-of-All-Mistakes, because the Republican Party gave us no reliable alternative. If the conservative movement does not rally behind the only alternative left to us, this country will become a true Socialist State within the next two Presidential terms.

Ladies and Gentleman, this is the most grave situation this nation has faced in my lifetime.   We just experienced an over hyped, outrageous primary election season that has left me wondering where the heads of our citizens are hiding .. Must be someplace where the sun doesn’t go very often.

At one time in my life I was a determined, dedicated and ever-loyal registered Democrat. Then something happened.  Lyndon Baines Johnson, that turned my life around and gave me pause for the veracity of a party that lives and feeds off of the most unfortunate among us. Some of them are in their positions in life by their own choosing, others by outside circumstance. But always, always there was a door open to them, to reach for new heights, achieve new goals, change their lives for the better.  Similarly, there have always been the bottom feeders, doing what they could to take advantage of those who had not or have not seen better days, nor realized that they in fact were the masters of their own destiny.

These unfortunates had come to believe that they were dependent on people in Washington, who would look out for and take care of them. They waited and still wait for all those promised freebies.

Most people don’t reflect upon the fact that the Democrats ruled Washington for over 40 years; it wasn’t until 1994 when the so-called Gingrich Revolution changed  but only for a while. These same people do not realize that it was the Democrats who created the failed policies of the entitlement programs that are now falling apart before our eyes.

Do not think I find the Republicans blameless in all this. They, too, suffer from the ego and greed built into our system.  But in the past few months I have listened with growing horror to the railings of the left, calling for yet more giveaways, more promises of a proverbial free lunch. What sums up my feelings, why I am appalled by those in political power is contained within a quote by basketball legend and talk show host Charles Barkley. ‘Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last fifty years…and they are still poor.’

Now, with our elections, come yet more new promises of change we can believe in, for the future.  But if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for, it is not change of policy or change for the better.   This is a warning that he wants our change.  And the change you will get will not be the change you expected or wanted.  I leave you my predictions of what  will happen if the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President especially if the House and Senate are veto-proof Democrat.

1) Strict gun laws, though he promised he would not.

2). In God We Trust will be removed from all currency.

3). He will renege on his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves
of  Islam.

4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.

5) Tax rates will surge to the highest  levels in 30 years.

6. Capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.

7) Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.

Our borders will be open to all comers especially from the
Middle East and South America.

9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals in the U.S, regardless of status or even gang membership (think MS-13).

10). Our presence in Iraq will come to an abrupt end with tragic results to their citizens and devastating consequences to our military.

My predictions will not sit well with some people.  The best we could hope
for is that I am wrong.

Any bets?
