Conservatives and Tea Partiers Need to Serve Their Community

Conservatives and the Tea Party have done a great job of getting involved in politics. We have also given support to the candidates we helped get elected. But this isn't enough. We have seen the actions of the unions and the left-wing. The country has seen what the left-wing rallies leave behind. They will be judged by Americans and the world by their actions. We conservatives will also be judged by our actions over our rhetoric.

So let's show the country we are here to serve. We Tea Partiers need to step up and serve our country and communities. There are many Americans in need right now. There is a need for food,clothing,guidance and love. Yes I said it love. Love your neighbor,your enemy and yourself. We need to come out as Tea Partiers and serve our neighbors. Find something you can do to serve. Most of us have more food then we need. It might be a good idea for Tea Partiers to do a grass roots food drive. Let the community know who we are. We are about serving the community and building our country up. You can take the food and clothing and give it any way you see fit. Get together with your Tea Party friends and make an effort to feed the poor and serve our fellow Americans regardless of ideology of the receiver. Set a date and time to meet with the Tea Partiers. Bring some of your extra food and other gifts and fill the food pantries at the Churches,Mosques and Temples. Find homeless and give them food. Take it to your out of work neighbor or family member. Call the news papers and TV to let them know you are doing this food drive for the needy. Let them know you are the Tea Party and that the Tea Party is here to serve the community. Organize a grass roots movement to help the needy. Ask the public to help and donate to this cause. If the needy show up feed them. Let's show the community what we stand for. We can do a lot of good in this country if we use our Tea Party organizations.

Doing this will also have a side effect. It will give the communities that we serve a image of us that is real. Let's connect ourselves with the rest of the communities we live in. It all starts with a few people taking this to their Tea Party meetings. If the Tea Party you belong too likes the idea they will do it. One Tea Party after another we will serve and lead in our communities. An image of the Tea Party patriots that will effect our communities in a positive way. It doesn't matter if we only feed one needy family, it will be worth the effort.

All I ask of the left-wing in this country is to pick up after yourselves and be peaceful. I think the picture will be clear to most Americans if we can make this happen. We can all step up a little to make a positive effect in this country.

One of the things I'm doing is teaching gardening at community events. I do this so those people can have an abundance to give to the needy. I do this for these organizations for free so that I can ask them to help feed the poor in their communities. I want the food pantries full of fresh foods as well as canned. I want them to eat the best food we can give them. They deserve the best and the best comes out of a loved garden. Living in Michigan I don't have to go far to find someone in need of some good food made with love. When they thank me I tell them to thank God since He did most of the work. Our communities need us to serve them. We need to find ways to lead in the service of our communities. It's time to take it to the streets and fill the food pantries for the needy. Find a way to serve and do it. Let's serve others and see what happens. Gods speed and have fun. God does likes a cheerful giver and so does the receiver.

Does Obama's Birth Certificate Say He Is A Muslim?

Trump has brought a new twist to the "Birther" argument. He is wondering if Obama's birth certificate gives his religion as Muslim. Here is a birth certificate from Hawaii 1963. I didn't see a place for religion on it. Can you? Thank goodness it doesn't have a religion on the certificate. If it did and Obama's did have Muslim on it that could mean a change in national security. As Muslims look at it he would be a defector of Islam and they would put a bounty on Obama. This wouldn't be a good thing. I just wish he would shut this whole debate down with his birth certificate.

Muslims Say 12th Imam or Mahdi "Is About To Appear"

“New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi–or Islamic messiah–is about to appear.”
So begins an ominous report by CBN’s Erick Stakelbeck detailing a propaganda video reportedly “approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government.“ That video explains ”all the signs are moving into place — and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times.”the Mahdi by another name, the twelfth imam — a term not lost to Stakelbeck, who writes thattThe new video “describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical twelfth Imam or Mahdi — the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days.”
Stakelbeck reports, and includes excerpts from the video called “The Coming is Near:”

Joel C. Rosenberg, interviewed in the CBN piece, has been a guest writer on The Blaze. As part of our series “Understanding Egypt,” he wrote:

The leaders in Tehran could not be more excited by the revolution now underway in Egypt and are praying the Mubarak regime collapses and the Muslim Brotherhood come to power. For them, such events would be dramatic new evidence that the End of Days has come, infidel Arab regimes are on the road to collapse, Western influence in the Mideast is declining, Israel is one step closer to being annihilated, and the Twelfth Imam is one step closer to arriving and establishing the worldwide Islamic kingdom known as the “caliphate.”

Back in February, Beck devoted part of his TV program to the idea of the twelfth imam:

I don't care if you believe this or not. The fact is, millions of Muslims do believe it. The blood that the Muslims will bring to the streets will be ours, unless we convert to this Islamic cult. It's time we realize that Islam is at war with us and all "infidels". We better put away our rose color glasses the left-wing tells us we must wear. When we are told that there is no connection to Islam and terrorism they are just trying to sell us a pile of poo. When the left-wing tell us that Christians and Jews are the problem show them the pictures of Islam.

More Left-Wing Racism. You Wont Guess Who Is Calling Obama a N-Word?

You can't make this stuff up. It turns out that it's not the Tea Party that is calling Obama the N-word. It's the New Black Panther Party and Muslims. You have to give it to the left-wing, they always pick winners to join their merry band of idiots. If we give the left-wing enough rope and time they will hang themselves with their own violent racist rhetoric. I just pray that the Secret Service keeps Obama safe now that the real radicals are out for blood.

Gas Was $1.82 When Obama Took Office: "Change"

Rember the good old days, we've already been through them. When Obama brought us "Hope" and "Change" no one knew what that really meant thanks to the MSM. But we do know what gas prices were. Did any of you Obama voters think change meant higher gas prices? Lower house prices? Higher unemployment? Massive debt increases? A third war in an Islamic country? Fighting side by side with Al Queda? Worse international relations? Stagflation? Higher food prices? More violence and division? Government shutdown? State government bankruptcies? I don't know about you but I don't think the world or this country can handle any more "Hope" and "Change".

We gave the government from the president to both houses of congress to the Democratic Party for years. They could pass anything they wanted and they did. We have tried the liberal government and it didn't work. It didn't make anything better. It didn't fix one thing. If you can think of anything the Democratic Party fixed or made better since they took over the country, please let me know. If you think this is all Bush's fault and the Republican Parties fault please explain?

Reporter Held Captive In Closet During Joe Biden Fundraiser

Reporter Confined in Closet During Biden Fundraiser

Staffers with Vice President Joe Biden confined an Orlando Sentinel reporter in a closet this week to keep him from mingling with high-powered guests gathered for a Democratic fundraiser.

Reporter Scott Powers was the designated "pool reporter" for the vice president's Wednesday visit to the massive Winter Park, Fla., home of developer and philanthropist Alan Ginsburg. The veep hadn't arrived yet but most of the 150 guests (minimum $500 donation) had. Read more at drudgereport.com.

Biden Aide Apologizes After Reporter Kept in Storage Closet During Fundraiser
...Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander, responding to coverage of that account, said in a written statement Sunday that the decision to hold Powers there was a "mistake" and that the reporter has accepted her "unequivocal apology." The apology was made shortly after the fundraiser.

"This was the unfortunate mistake of an inexperienced staffer and the vice president's office has made sure it will never happen again," she said.

It makes you wonder what is going on at the staff meeting to make an aide to Biden think imprisoning a reporter in a closet was a good idea? I find it hard to believe that someone didn't hear the reporter crying for help and knocking on the closet door. Freedom is just a word to these people. It means nothing to them. All I can say is thank goodness a Republican or Tea Partier didn't do this.

Democratic Party Has Another Klan Member In Their Ranks

Democrat John Paul Rogers was the head of the United Klans of America, an organization that was one of the most violent branches of the KKK.
WTSP reported:

A mayoral candidate in Lakes Wales is speaking out about his involvement with the Klan.
70-year-old John Paul Rogers wants to become the next mayor of Lake Wales, but critics say he could have a tough time bringing the town together because he’s a former member of Ku Klux Klan.
Rogers, who is currently a commissioner, spoke with 10 News Tuesday afternoon and says, “I’m not running for the Klan for Grand Dragon.” That’s because Rogers has already had that title.
He blames his opponent Mike Carter for bringing up his former involvement in the United Klans of America.

It seems that the Democratic Party is still the party of racists. Most liberals wont have a problem with the racists they have within their party, just like they don't have a problem with violence and terrorism within their ranks.

What has the Democratic Party become?

Is America Becoming a Nation of Freeloaders?

As we all know liberalism at it's core is lazy freeloading. They want what others have but don't want to work for it. So they hire the Democratic Party and some in the Republican Party to take tax payers money to give them the money. These tariffs put on our job creating businesses is losing us jobs. We need to cut freeloading off like we did under Clinton for welfare reform. And you remember how the left-wing bitched about killing kids and putting people out on the streets for ending that entitlement? Expect these fools to not learn from the past and cry about killing babies and old people...

What are your thoughts on all the freeloaders like GE? Is our tax structure set up to create business or destroy it? How would you stop the freeloaders?

Beck:Who's Side Are We On?

I'm sure the left-wing will deflect and call Beck crazy, but why don't they answer the questions first? It's time people start putting their emotions away and bring out the common sense analytical mind. We need to ask if Obama is taking us in the direction we want to go? We have been watching the outcome of all his decisions over the past few years. How are the outcomes? Are we better or worse off? Are we going in the right direction? Do we have any friends around the world anymore?

One Year Later…10 Things You Didn’t Know About Obamacare

1. Did you know that . . . since Jan. 1 of this year (2011), you cannot use your flex-account at work (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to purchase over-the-counter medicines?
2. Did you know that . . . since July 1 of last year (2010), Americans have been paying a 10 percent excise tax on all indoor tanning services?
3. Did you know that . . . starting in 2018, if your health insurance is “too good” or considered a “Cadillac” plan, then you will incur a new 40 percent tax on your health plan?
4. Did you know that . . . Obamacare has 21 new or higher taxes in it, totaling over $500 billion in increased taxes going to the government over 10 years?
5. Did you know that . . . beginning in 2014, individuals and families that do not purchase “qualifying”  – as defined by federal bureaucrats — health insurance will be forced to pay a yearly tax penalty?
6. Did you know that . . . 7 tax hikes in Obamacare directly break President Obama’s “firm pledge” not to raise any form of taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 per year and families making less than $250,000 per year?
7. Did you know that . . . the capital gains tax rate under Obamacare will rise to 23.8 percent starting in 2012? That is a 59 percent increase from its current rate.
8. Did you know that . . . in 2013, those Americans facing the highest medical bills and the least ability to pay for them will find their ability to deduct medical expenses is further limited (medical expenses must be reduced by 10 percent of income under Obamacare, rather than current law’s 7.5 percent)
9. Did you know that . . . beginning in 2014, businesses with over 50 employees will be forced to offer health coverage for everyone, or pay a hefty tax for each employee?
10. Did you know that . . . in 2013, Obamacare caps the amount individuals and families can put in their flexible savings accounts at $2500? Currently there is no cap and these accounts are used for a myriad of health expenses including paying upwards of $14,000 in tuition to special needs schools for some parents?

From The Blaze.

It turns out Obama and the Democrats lied about obamacare. It also turns out that the Republicans were right about what was in the bill. Now I see why the Democratic Party didn't want us to read the bill. We have learned one thing for sure. It's that we can't trust the MSM,liberals or the Democratic Party to tell us the truth. Who in their right mind would believe lied as much as these people do. They lie by omission and commission and then call us the liars. Do you remember that Grayson fool when he said Republicans just want everyone to die? It turns out that it is the Democratic Party that is killing Americans not the Republican Party.

Oops! Statements Made by Then-Senators Obama, Biden Haunt Libya Mission

Can you believe these two? It seems that either they were playing politics with war or they don't care about the Constitution. Which is it? If they are right about Iraq being an illegal war then Libya is also an illegal war subject to impeachment. Maybe we need to listen to what the then Senators were saying back then and impeach Obama. We can't have a double standard now can we? Let's see what the left-wing hypocrites say about this conundrum Obama is in. I think we all know what the left-wing and MSM is going to do about their "impeachable offence". Nothing!

Muslim Brotherhood Favored To Win Egypt Election

Why doesn't the Main Stream Media care that the Muslim Brotherhood may take control of the Egyptian government? Is this just more of the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Why does the left-wing make this unholy allegiance with our enemies? Is American values really worse then Sharia law to the left-wing? I just want to honestly know what the left-wing is thinking on this. They do everything they can to protect enemies of this country and our standard of living. Liberals need to ask themselves if the Muslim way is really better for them and the rest of America. The only thing I can think of is maybe they both want the destruction of America as it was formed by our founding fathers. If this is wrong then please explain the actions of the left-wing.

Left-Wing And Unions Plan Economic Terrorism

FULL VERSION OF DISCUSSION
It's hard to say that unions like SEIU want to do what is best for the country after listening to what the SEIU leaders had to say about doing economic terrorism of this country. A terrorist act like this would be devastating to our country. They must know this with as much as the union leaders have gone to thew White House. These are the people President Obama spends most of his time with. It make me wonder about our President and if he isn't in cahoots with these left-wing terrorist groups. I can only hope he isn't, but it sure does look suspicious having so many radicals in the White House all the time. These are the weapons community organizers use to cause chaos to take control of power.

Union members must think about how causing another banking crisis will effect them personally. Will they have a pension or a 401K if the union and left-wing succeed? Union members and the left-wing need to stop thinking the way the unions want them to think and start thinking on how their actions will personally effect them. If the union members and left-wing keep thinking of the collective the only winners will be the people that end up with power after they have destroyed what we all have.

After seeing all the chaos, hate, violence and disrespect for person and property these unions and left-wing have we must take them for what they are. We can see why the left-wing has held hands with the Islamic extremists. But union members and left-wing need to ask themselves if that is who they are.

After 9/11 we asked where the moderates Muslims were? Why weren't they standing up against the extremists in their religion. I'm asking the same thing about union members and moderate left-wingers. Where is your outrage? If you are not against these radicals in the union leadership then you are with them. To say nothing and to do nothing makes you part of the problem. United you stand and united you will fall. The voice of the moderates in the union better start speaking out before they go down with the union ship.

Can the union members take a Hippocratic oath of doing no harm? Can the union members rise up against the call for economic terrorism and get a leadership that represents them rather then this radical agenda of their current leaders?

Things are bad enough as they are without having to worry about the enemy within. You better think about what side you are on. Because if you aren't against this radical union leadership or you are with them. Silence isn't an option. And putting your head in the sand is no different then standing with them. These are hard times and the union leaders and left-wing want to make them harder. Is that what you want?
Business Insider:

A former official of one of the country’s most-powerful unions, SEIU, is detailing a secret plan to “destabilize” the country.
Specifically, the plan seeks to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street’s grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government.
The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend.
The Blaze procured what appears to be a tape of Lerner’s remarks, many of which many Americans will no doubt sympathize with. Still, the “destabilization” plan is startling in its specificity.
Lerner said that unions and community organizations are, for all intents and purposes, dead. The only way to achieve their goals, therefore–the redistribution of wealth and the return of “$17 trillion” stolen from the middle class by Wall Street–is to “destabilize the country.”

USA TODAY:Black populations fall in major cities

 USA Today...

 

The black population is declining in a growing number of major cities — more evidence that the settlement pattern of African Americans is changing as they disperse to suburbia and warmer parts of the nation.

2010 Census data released so far this year show that 20 of the 25 cities that have at least 250,000 people and a 20% black population either lost more blacks or gained fewer in the past decade than during the 1990s. The declines happened in some traditional black strongholds: Chicago, Oakland, Atlanta, Cleveland and St. Louis.

The loss is fueled by three distinct trends:

•Blacks — many in the middle or upper-middle class — leaving cities for the suburbs.

•Blacks leaving Northern cities for thriving centers in the South.

Shrinking numbers

The black population is declining in many major cities:

Source: Analysis of 2010 Census data by William Frey, Brookings Institution

•The aging of the African-American population, whose growth rate has dropped from more than 16% in the 1990s to about 10% since 2000.

"In the Northern cities, a lot of young blacks who might have grown up in cities are leaving maybe the entire region," says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution who analyzed the data. "They're going to the Sun Belt and particularly the South. The ones who stay in the area want to move to the suburbs."

Atlanta's loss of blacks tripled since 2000 to almost 30,000. The percentage of blacks in the city shrank to 53% from 61%. But in Atlanta's vast metropolitan area, the black population soared 40% to 1.7 million, a clear indication that many spread out to suburban counties. The Atlanta region has the second-largest black population after New York.

• The trend is playing out differently in Chicago. The city lost more than 200,000 residents, and more than 180,000 of them were African-American. In the metropolitan area, the black population fell 3.5% to 1.6 million, pushing it 66,000 below metro Atlanta's. "Sadly for Chicago, I think in large part it's the weather," says Chinwe Onyeagoro, CEO of O-H Community Partners, a Chicago-based economic development consulting firm.

Sunny skies and warm temperatures are luring not only retirees but also young professionals who may have friends or relatives in the Sun Belt — Atlanta and Houston in particular, she says.

Suburbs anywhere are a huge draw.

"Typically, middle-class African-American families make the same kind of choices that white families have made for some time," Onyeagoro says. "As soon as kids are school-age, they move to the suburbs." Suburbs are also luring lower-income blacks who are leaving neighborhoods that don't have supermarkets and other retail, she says.

Recent Census surveys show that the District of Columbia's black population declined since 2000. Census data will be released this week for Washington and other major cities, including New York.

The drop also can be partially attributed to a declining black fertility rate and the aging of the black population, says John Logan, director of US 2010 Project at Brown University, which studies trends in American society. "We're starting to see the graying not only of the white population but of the black population," he says.

By Haya El Nasser,

I can't believe that this kind of thinking exists in this country today. They make blacks sound like migrating birds or some other animal. The stereo typing of this article is sickening to me. Are blacks any different then whites for wanting to move to warmer weather or suburban living? How is the color of their skin or the color of my skin make any difference in their "migration"? Why are they focusing on the color of skin?

It's as if the media is trying to divide us by color. I reject this kind of thinking. I reject the thinking that we are many races. We are one race, different like snowflakes but still snow. The color of my skin doesn't say anything about me, unless I let it. 

Maybe we need to look at ideology instead of color of skin. Could it be that blacks are leaving the cities for the same reason that whites did? The cities that have had a Democratic Party monopoly for decades are failing. Look at the schools, look at culture and crime. Look at city government and what ideology has been running these cities into the ground. There is a reason why the left-wing keeps pointing at the color of skin. It diverts us from looking at the real problem that is causing people from leaving the cities. The media needs to stop treating blacks like they are some lower form of animal on the Darwinian chart. We are all related to Adam and Eve. We are equal to each other, but not equal to animals. All people are above the animals, we are not animals and neither are our black brothers and sisters.

TIME Mag: Obama Exaggerating Atrocities in Libya to Justify War

AP File

President Barack Obama says he's intervening to prevent atrocities in Libya. But details of behind-the-scenes debates at the White House show he's going to war in part to rehabilitate an idea...the president and some of his advisers are so eager to rehabilitate the idea of preventive intervention that they're exaggerating the violence they say they are intervening to prevent in Libya. "The effort to shoe-horn this into an imminent genocide model is strained," says one senior administration official. That's dangerous. Americans deserve an honest explanation when their leaders take them to war.

Obama and his aides know they are taking a big risk. "It's a huge gamble," says the senior administration official. The administration knows, for example, that al Qaeda, which has active cells in Libya, will try to exploit the power vacuum that will come with a weak or ousted Gaddafi.

"On the military side there was a lot of skepticism in the initial days that a no-fly zone by itself was going to achieve what we wanted militarily," says a senior administration official. Another senior administration official is blunter: "[Secretary of Defense Robert] Gates tried to stop it."

Can you believe Time is saying this? "Obama lied and people died!" Did you know that Bush had more coalition support for Iraq then Obama has for this war in Libya? People are even saying that Obama is taking Al Quida's side in Libya. Congress is asking why Obama went to war illegally without Congress? Obama has been too busy giving away our oil in the Gulf to Brazil and partying in Rio. Can anyone be this inept? Are we even a leader in the world anymore? It's time the media ask this President what he is doing and why he is doing it.

Unions Getting Out Of Control

Service Employees International Union chanted  and became quite vociferous in the lobby of ESSA Bank's headquarters, demanding to meet with the bank's president and CEO, Gary Olson, who is also chairman of the hospital's board of directors. I think people are getting sick and tired of the union bullies. People can see that unions don't create anything. The do however destroy a lot when they don't get their way. It's time to show these idiots who is the boss and fire them.

Islam Is A Religion Of Love, My Ass

When will the left-wing realize that the enemy of my enemy is not your friend? They hate us. They praise Allah when they one of ours or Israelis Dies. But the left-wing would rather dance with the Devil. The Democratic Party has made it somehow wrong to look at the connection between Islam and terrorism. If they were Michigan Militia or Branch Meridians they'd be on it like flies to crap. "Social Justice" is warped.

This is Obama's and Rev. Wright's buddy Louis Farrakhan. Obama sure does have a lot of friends and confidants that hate America.  

Louis Farrakhan speaking with talk radio host and “long-time friend” Cliff Kelley on WVON-AM 1690 on March 11:

From The Final Call:

To President Obama, Minister Farrakhan delivered a pointed warning: “Don’t let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world. They don’t like the way you handled (former Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak! They don‘t like the way you’re handling the situation in the Arab world! So I would advise you to be careful-and move with wisdom and skill.
And then, Minister Farrakhan offered President Obama some divine advice.
“Why don’t you organize a group of respected Americans, and ask for a meeting with Gadhafi? You can’t order him to step down, and get out-who the hell do you think you are, that you can talk to a man that built a country over 42 years, and ask him step down and get out? Can anybody ask you? Well, well there’s a lot, now, [that are] going to ask you to step out of the White House, because they don’t want a Black face in the White House,” said Minister Farrakhan.
“Be careful, brother, how you handle this situation because it is coming to America! It has already started. Look in Wisconsin! Look in Ohio! Look at what’s going on in your country! And remember your words because the American people are rising against their own government: It’s not Muslims; it’s not Black people! It’s White militias that are angry with their government, and they are well armed. Are you going to tell them-’Put your arms down, and let’s talk it over peacefully?’ I hope so. But if not, America will be bathed in blood, not because Farrakhan said so, but because the dissatisfaction in America has reached the boiling point. Be careful how you manipulate the dissatisfaction in Libya and other parts of the Muslim world,” he warned.

I Found Obama. He's Working Hard

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
These are some of the hardest times this country and world has ever seen. It's nice to know we have a leader and not some schmuck on a trip. I just wish he could act like a leader even if he doesn't have it in him. We are in three wars now and he's playing footsies in Rio like a care free doopidy doo. Obama has to be the most clueless president since Carter. We need a leader. A real leader. One that leads and acts like a leader. I'm getting sick of Obama going around the world and stirring things up like a community organizer and then running away. He acts like he doesn't know how much power he has or how to use the power wisely.

WAR #3: U.S. Fires Tomahawk Missiles at Libya What Is The World Coming To?

Liberals must be thinking,"I thought Obama was suppose to stop the wars not make more of them?" I would think liberals must be coming unhinged about being in three wars and going no where fast in one war. Hey, at least he closed Gitmo like he promised. Made unemployment drop,create jobs,lower the debt,get rid of the Patriot Act,give us freedoms instead of taking them... How is Obama's promise of walking with the union protesters going? Are you liberals better off now after almost 3 years of it? Or do you feel like you're getting screwed and lied too so it doesn't hurt so much? I know most of you liberals hate obamacare and know it's a failure. Everything you liberals hated about Bush, President Obama is still doing and ramping it up.

The world is falling apart. Things aren't getting better. Almost no one thinks we are going in the right direction as a nation. The "new world order" seems to be chaos. Is there anything that you have that couldn't we worth little to nothing in a day or week? 401K? Stocks or bonds? House? Money? Pension? Think about what is happening around the world and here in this country. Is it wiser to start preparing for what might happen or to keep living like nothing is happening? When did we as a culture in America stop preparing for bad times? One generation, maybe two? My Grandparents all taught me to always be prepared. Now they had seen hard times in their lives. My one Grandma at 16 was going to school,living on her own with two of her siblings in her own apartment while working to support them. Her husband, my hunting buddy and one of my best friends worked in CC camp up north in Michigan. My Dads father lived in the woods from age 12 making a good living feeding the "rich" during the bad times. He taught me how to live in the woods and what to eat and how to make things like traps. I've always loved to garden and cook. Food is a gift that a family can enjoy with some effort. I never thought that these skills would ever come to use for anything other then a supplement for our food budget and healthy foods to eat. At this point I'm glade that I wanted to learn these things from my elders. I still don't think it's the "end of days". But liberals should be. LOL. Liberals are mashing their teeth right now. Have you teased a liberal today? Ask a liberal what they think about being in three wars three years after they elected Obama? Ask a young person. They get real cranked up. And don't forget to bitch about gas prices. I tell you you will have fun with these liberal sheeples.

MEA Teachers Union Is Planning To Withhold Childrens Education With A Strike

MEA President Iris SALTERS is asking the teacher unions' 1,100 locals to vote on whether it should engage in teacher strikes to put pressure on lawmakers who are considering a proposed $470-per-pupil cut to K-12 education for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012.
Acting with the support of the MEA's 80-member Board of Directors, Salter said in a letter to its locals that teachers are "under assault in Lansing" and it must "take action accordingly." Teacher strikes are illegal in Michigan.
"Let me be clear on what this vote means," Salters wrote. "It authorizes MEA to engage in significant activities -- up to and including a work stoppage."
They are asking locals to vote between March 14 and April 14 on whether to give MEA the authority to initiative crisis activities up to and including job action.
MEA Spokesman Doug PRATT said the votes are what "we have to do internally to ratchet up efforts around the "ongoing legislative crisis."
"This is our top governance across the state saying our members are telling us that we've had enough," Pratt said.
Circulation of the letter drew harsh responses from House Education Committee Chair Paul SCOTT (R-Grand Blanc), who said he was "shocked and appalled " by statements from an "out-of-touch" MEA executive who, last week, compared public school employees to "slaves."
"This type of heavy handed, Hoffa-esque rhetoric might have worked in the 60s, but not today," he said. "Striking is illegal. Period. Why Ms. Salters is seeking authority to engage in illegal activities is concerning."
Let's take a look at what the unions are asking of their members. Union leaders want to illegally strike so that union members can loose freedom of choice on joining a union and forced union dues, they want to vote on a strike that would force the all union members to walk the picket line regardless of whether or not they believe in the strike. That doesn't sound very American to me.
The union leaders are saying that Michigan tax payers will pay one way or another. They are telling teachers that Michigan can't fire all the teachers. This may be true, but we can get ride of the bad teachers in bad schools. We could turn schools into charter schools one at a time.
How about parent suing the teachers union for withholding an education from their children? Who cares if we win or if it's even realistic, it will have an effect.
I will feel sorry for the teachers that are living on the $20 a day the union pays them to strike. It doesn't seem like a lot of money when the unions have billions. I hope those teachers banked their money. We all know conservative teachers in the union. They will be forced to strike for their pittance from the union coffers. Families will go bankrupt if the teachers unions strike. But they knew the risks of joining a union. Conservative teachers need to speak up now and try to stop an illegal strike. Tax payers are broke and businesses are dieing. We can't afford to lose the profitable business like we have in the past with taxes that take profit. A strike right now would be as bad an idea as the MEA could have.
We need to change the way we educate our children. Giving into the union demands has gotten us worse results. It's time we put the children first for a change.
For all the teachers working to stop a vote for a strike, I thank you. No one can afford a strike right now. If the unions keep going for an all or nothing they will get nothing. We also can't afford the unions demands, so it's time we the taxpayers call the shots.

I Wonder What The Left-Wing Think About Another War?

Will Code Pink and other left-wing organizations protest? Who cares what the left-wing thinks?

I pray that this no-fly zone works fast and painless. We have lost a lot of momentum in Lybia waiting for the UN to quiz themselves.

The United Nations Security Council approved a resolution Thursday evening authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya and other measures military action against Libya.

The vote was 10-0 with five abstentions, including Russia and China.
Congressional officials, speaking after a briefing for members of the Senates, aid they expected the effort to enforce a no-fly zone and ground Muammar al-Qaddafi's air force could begin within a few days.

Where Is Our President?

When the Middle East,North Africa, European Union, Mexico and America are on fire should the President act like a community agitator, a union boss or a careless leader. It's times like this that defines great leaders. I just don't think Obama seems to care about what is going on around the world and in this country. He has all the time and energy to golf, vacation in South America, make his team picks on ESPN, see union leaders every day...but he doesn't have the time or will to address the nation on all that is going on around the world. Maybe he cares but is running scared and can't deal with what is on his plate so he runs and hides from the troubles. Or maybe this chaos is what he wanted.

 

Where is Obama on his promise to walk with the unions? It's not just us he is hiding from.

Obama Nominee Crumbles at Budget Hearing

Hummmmmina, hummmmmiiiiina, what??? Huh??? I don't know what you mean???? If you think Obama is not lieing about his budget not adding to the national debt, please explain? It's all spin with the Obama admin.

Open Thread: Have A Homemade Beer

I'm having a beer that I made. It's a blueberry,elderberry beer. I made it for the Summer but today is just too nice to not have a cold one. There is nothing better then beer you make at home, from berries I grew. I also tend to have a lot of union freinds since I have more beer then I drink. Just kidding, everyone likes homemade beer.

These guys sound like a cult not a union.

It's Time We Focus On Public Unions And Their Demands

The Tea Party needs to focus on these public unions and their demands on the tax payers. Let me ask you something. What if the public unions get what they want, what then? Can we afford to give into the unions demands without risk to our country? The focus has been on Obama. With the state of this country,our economy,unemployment,gas prices, food prices and house prices and his lack of leadership here and around the world, Obama is doing more then enough to be a one term president. If we Tea Partiers focus on giving our governors a backbone and thwarting the union recalls we can only win. Obama and the Democratic Party will sink with the unions. The unions will destroy themselves as well as the Democratic Party when they lose. They know that and I'm sure that is why Obama is keeping a little distance from these protests lately. We must win this war against the tax payers. We can't afford to lose to the public unions. The private sector can't afford another tax hike so public unions can keep their monopoly over the tax payers. We tax payers have bailed out the unions enough already with the Stimulus Bill,tax exemptions for obamacare,GM,Chrysler etc... We the tax payers of this nation can't afford what the want from us. I wish we could pay everyone more then they are worth but we can't. I understand how hard it is to give something up. Most of us in American know what it's like to give something up. Businesses and families have been losing everything they have ever had. When you see that empty business for sale remember that someone went broke. People that put their hard earned money into growing a business that creates jobs and an income for those people. Most of us work for those private businesses. Those UAW member from the private sector that are marching with the public union have to think about how a tax increase is going to effect the businesses they work for. Do you Ford workers that got a big profit sharing check this year think that will be bigger if Ford has to pay more in taxes and effecting profits? Do you think that higher taxes will help GM and other failing companies survive? Or didn't you union protesters think about that? If you think that giving in to the public unions is a bad idea you better do something about that. Write your governor in support. Call them or send money to run ads in the effected States. We need to start thinking about having our own support rallies. If you aren't sure about what the unions are bringing here then just to Greece, not Cairo. If you can think of any way in which to put down this attack on the tax payers and job creators let us know. If there is a planned protest in your area let us know.

Obama's Pastor Of 20 Years Admits He's A Marxist

I know this is no surprisee to any of you, but Obama's mentor and pastor of 20 years has admitted that his preaching is socialist. At least he is honest. Obama sure did have a lot of socialist mentors in his life. Now we are seeing why he does what he does. If you still think Obama hasn't been effected by all these socialist then please explain?

Police Arrest 5 at Michigan Capitol

I guess I spoke too soon when I said that the protesters in Michigan were lawful. My bad. Can anyone guess home many Tea Partiers have been arrested over the years? 30,40,100? Try none.

There is something I'd like to know. How do these union members expect us to get our State out of debt and balance the budget? Raise taxes on the businesses that are left? I think those businesses have taken a hard enough hit. Tax those making money in Michigan so that they don't make any money? Haven't we given the unions enough with the Stimulus bill bail out of State unions? Isn't it enough that we tax payers have to pay for obamacare and they don't? Why do unions think they are a protected class? We have all been paying for this massive recession. All except for the unions. Why is that?
The Associated Press



LANSING — Police have arrested five protesters who'd been sitting in at the Michigan Capitol in a protest against what they say are Gov. Rick Snyder's anti-union policies.

Others came out of the Capitol voluntarily Wednesday evening, but a small number remained inside.

The five were led to an Ingham County sheriff's van, their hands secured behind their behind their backs about 8:10 p.m.

The sit-in came after more than 3,000 people protested inside and outside the Statehouse earlier in the day.

The union members and their supporters oppose a measure Snyder signed Wednesday afternoon that gives emergency financial managers sweeping new powers to void union contracts.

They also oppose his plan to tax pensions, which now are exempt from state taxes.

Letter To My Fellow Michiganders ...From Michael "the Commie" Moore

The Socialist Are coming

Monday, March 14th, 2011
AFL-CIO Protest Page | Working Families Facebook Event Page | MoveOn Protest Page | Bus Times & Locations | Rachel Maddow Explains Rick Snyder's Attack on Middle Class

Fellow Michiganders (and honorary Michiganders around the world):

The call has gone out and I'm asking everyone who can to take Wednesday off and head to the State Capitol in Lansing to protest the cruel and downright frightening legislation currently being jammed down our throats.

What is most shocking to many is that the new governor, who ran against the Tea Party and defeated the right wing of his party in the primaries -- and then ran in the general election as "just a nerd from Ann Arbor" who was a moderate, not an ideologue -- has pulled off one of the biggest Jekyll and Hyde ruses I've ever seen in electoral politics.

Governor Snyder, once elected, yanked off his nice-guy mask to reveal that he is in fact a multi-millionaire hell-bent on destroying our state and turning it over to his buddies from Wall Street.

In just 8 short weeks he has:

* Gotten the House and Senate to pass bills giving him "Emergency Management" powers such as the ability to appoint a corporation or a CEO who could literally dissolve town governments or school boards, fire the elected officials, nullify any local law and run your local governmental entity. That company then would have the power to immediately declare all collective bargaining contracts null and void.

* Proposed giving business a whopping 86% tax cut while raising personal taxes by 31%! And much of that tax hike he believes should be shouldered by -- I kid you not -- senior citizens and the poor! He says these two groups have not been "sharing the sacrifice" the rest of us have been burdened with. So his budget proposes a $1.8 billion tax CUT for business and a $1.75 billion tax INCREASE for the rest of us, much of it from the poor, seniors and working people -- even though the top 1% in Michigan ALREADY pay a lower state tax rate than everyone else does!

* Together with the legislature, introduced over 40 anti-labor bills in just the first two months of this session! They have wasted no time and have caught most people off guard. Much of this is being rushed through right now before you have a chance to raise your voice in objection.

These actions are breathtaking when you realize they will drive our already battered state straight into the ground. What we needed right now was an inspiring leader to help us reinvent Michigan and to find creative ways to create new jobs and lift us out of our economic depression. The rest of the country may call what they're experiencing the "Great Recession," but few argue that Michigan is suffering a "one-state Depression."

I know many of you are filled with a great sense of despair and a justifiable loss of hope these days in Michigan. But you must not let things get even worse. You must stand up against these Draconian measures and this outrageous attempt to rip our democratic rights from us by turning our state over to well-paid hacks from Wall Street and corporate America. They see our state as one big fire sale -- and they are licking their chops to get their hands on what is still a state rich in natural resources and industrial infrastructure.

Please show up at noon on Wednesday for our first mega-rally against this insanity. Hundreds of groups are already organizing car pools and buses. You can right now just declare yourself an organizer and get your friends and neighbors committed to being in Lansing. If ever there were a day to call in sick, Wednesday is it (because this IS sick). Students, if ever there were a day to cut class and become a participant in your democracy, Wednesday is it. This event needs to be HUGE -- and I believe it will be if you will simply be there and take a stand.

Much attention has been paid to Wisconsin in recent weeks. Well, they got nothing on what's going on here in Michigan. Rick Snyder is Scott Walker on steroids. There's never been what even the AARP calls "an all-out attack" like this on us. Trust me, you will rue the day you sat home and did nothing while thieves posing as politicians stole your Great Lakes State from you.

Don't let it happen. Be at the Capitol by noon on Wednesday for the largest demonstration the state has ever seen.

Go Spartans! Go Wolverines! Go Everyone Else In Between!
Yours,
Michael Moore

As many of you already know conservative Tea Party patriots have moles all over the liberal communist community. Thanks to these moles we are always informed as to what they are doing. Here is a planned protest. Please take the time to let everyone know what they are planning on doing here in Michigan. These Douchbaggers want to take money from the tax payers so they can fill their pockets.

I'm sure there will be many tinfoil hat idiots everywhere. These Douchbaggers are trying to intimidate us by bringing Cairo to Michigan. We will bring some Tokyo to their anti-government protest. These Douchbaggers want our money. Their greed has caused them to attack private and public property as well as American citizens. If you go as an counter protester be careful. We have seen these protesters get violent in the other States they are in.

Teachers Union Leader Calls WI a Revolution; Wants to Learn From Socialists; Says Being Republican a Pathology, Evil

More proof that these unions are pushing for socialism. The union members need to wake up and realize that the Wisconsin bill gives the members more rights not less. The members have the right to not pay union dues if they so choose. This shouldn't be a problem since the unions tell us how great they are. And since when is it the governments job to collect union dues for the union? Why should my tax dollars go to the collection and distribution of union dues? If the unions want their money they should collect it. And if the unions are so great, they should have no problem collection 100% of their dues. The unions have a monopoly over the tax payers. They have too much power over our government and the union members. This is a free country. Forced dues and government collections isn't American. The union members better wake up and realize what this union melt down is all about. It's about control. The unions want to control it's members and the government. It's time to tell these unions to spend some of their $billions on membership rather then using it to control a political Party. Gov. Walker is doing what is best for union members. It's about time unions worked for the money they get from their membership. It's about time the members have control of the unions, instead of the unions taking control over the union members.

Wisconsin Protesters Are Using Children To Chant, Creepy

As Wisconsin and others States are having their union melt down we are seeing that these same unions have no problem using school children as free protest labor. The sad thing is those children will have to pay for what those unions get. I would put anything past these greedy unions. If these unions get their way they will own us tax payers. We will be working for them and their greedy pensions.

Michigan Unions Use Astro-Turf Protests to Intimidate Businesses

From the Blaze: This is an old story that just wont go away. That's because the unions are still using their brand of anti-business threats and intimidation. These same union hire people at minimum wage to stand at the polls on election day. The union doesn't pay overt minimum wage or give any benefits. Talk about hypocracy.


Imagine that you are a business owner and the local union demands that you reveal the private payroll data of your 120 non-union employees within a week.  If you choose not to answer this demand, the union will consider you to be obviously “paying substandard wages and benefits.”
In addition to that proclamation from the Union, your customers will be notified by mail that a labor dispute exists between the union and your company and that any job sites where you have contract to perform work will be subjected to protests in the form of ‘bannering’ and the distribution of leaflets.
Got it?

• The union has targeted a non-union business.
• They demand that the business allow the union to examine private payroll records, or else.
• Customers of the business are also targeted with on-site protests with banners and picket lines (often staffed with non-union day labor being paid less than union wages and not afforded health benefits).

This has happened, and in fact is an ongoing story.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy, has brought to light the attempted strong-arm tactics of the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters in a story by Ken Braun.
Video #1 offers the overview of the story:

Video #2 backs up the charge that the Carpenters Union is using astro-turf tactics, hiring non-union day laborers, paying these workers less than union wages and not offering benefits.

The unions should note that the unemployment rate in Michigan (from where this story originates) is still sitting at 11.3%, almost 2 1/2 points higher than the national average.

According to a statistic quoted in the Mackinac Center piece, more than 78% of the carpenters in Michigan are non-union workers, and the company under attack claims their 120 employees have not complained about wages, benefits or employer treatment. This appears to be nothing more than union bullying.

Recall the Wisconsin 14: Pass It On

It's time to recall the Wisconsin 14 Democrats that held up democracy in order to bully their way past the will of the voters in Wisconsin. Go to www.facebook.com/RecallWI14 . We can play this same game. Send this facebook page to all your friends and blogs. These unions and liberals are playing for keeps. If they win this it will cost us all money. Do you want to dig deeper in your pocket at tax time to give into the unions that are literally destroying our country? Do you want to give those unions that much power over you and you government? We need to get the word out now. This may be in Wisconsin right now but it is coming to a State near you soon.

 

I think these same public sector unions are forgetting that it was the taxpayers that bailed them out with the stimulus bill. They got their money and security when we added to our national debt to secure their jobs,pensions and benefits. These same unions also got an exemption from paying the obamacare "Cadillac tax" like a protected class. We didn't get that special treatment. I'm getting sick of the unions getting treated as a protected elite class of workers. We all must make cuts and pay taxes. The unions are not above that. But in reality they think they are because they own the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party pays up with our tax dollars.

 

That is why we must limit the collective bargaining of these public sector unions. If we don't they will keep taking from the tax payers.

Bill Kristol on Obama: How Can You Say 'Qaddafi Must Go' and Sit Back and Do Nothing?

Bill Kristol slammed Obama's cowardice and indecisiveness on Libya today:
How can you say "Qaddafi must go" and sit back and do nothing?

This is why no one is listening to Obama and the Democratic Party any more. They say one thing while doing the opposite. Only a total fool would believe what these snake oil salesmen are selling.

It just goes to show you that this president incompotent. He is clueless on what he is doing. That or he is just a lieing POS. You chose.

Watch This Video And Then Tell Me That Unions Are Great

Montage Documenting Union Violence and Racism against the Tea Party and Walker Supporters WARNING THIS IS VIDEO OF UNIONS.

Send this video to everyone you know and post it on your blog. We need to see who is asking us to reach into our pockets and pay them. Don't you feel better knowing that these same union members have a monopoly over us? Do you really want these unions in control? You have seen the pictures of the damage they have done to our public property haven't you? See these unions have no problem destroying things and making our public property their private pigsty. We are in a massive fiscal problem in almost every state in the union. These states wont get a bailout like they got from the failed stimulus bill.

In fact the unions should be happy since we added to our national debt to pay off the public unions. We put our kids in debt so that the unions wouldn't have to make major cuts. See how they thank us and our children? Those same children that are going to get the bill for the public union bailout stimulus are also getting a third rate education by those public union teachers.

I'm not taking another penny out of my pocket to keep the fat cat public unions in greed. If the left-wing wants these public unions to keep on keeping on then they can pay for it out of the goodness of their liberal hearts. But that is the problem. The liberals goodness goes away real fast when they have to reach into their own pockets. Anyone can be generous with other peoples money.

I'd like to see these mops at these anti-taxpayer protests pass the hat around so we can see how much is in it at the end of the day. How do you think the unions and liberals have portrayed themselves?

Jesse Jackson: Scott Walker Pushing a 'Confederate

 

Liberals say the dumbest things. This is just more proof that liberalism may be a mental illness. The way the unions keep saying that Republicans and Tea Partiers are trying to kill the middle class and minorities. You have to laugh at these sausages.
