AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS

Dear Senator or Congressman,

We have an Attorney General, a Secretary of Homeland Security and C.J. Crowley, a State Department Spokesman all out in the public denouncing the Arizona illegal immigrant law who all admit, they have not read the law.

It is far past time for those who really care, to stand up and be loud and strong to publicly beat these people and this administration back into submission. You may be part of the minority in the House or Senate, but to be honest, it is the far left minority that is wagging the dog here. Get some, as we say in Texas, "huevos" and stir up a stink. They, this administration, are cutting back security funding the New York City, verbally campaigning and challenging a law they have not read, and a myriad of other actions against our will and country. You and your colleagues are far to compliant. It must stop now. You as a group must take action to save our country and republic.

Enough is enough. We the people are mad as hell and are not going to take it any more. Start a long, hard and VERY LOUD public campaign to point out and challenge the actions of these socialists. You seem to be taking the easy way out by letting one media network do all the work. You guys know what is going on and being said. Step up and speak up as a group. Not just within the "chambers" of your elected position, but in the news media. Raise enough hell and the liberal press can be forced to cover your actions. Make some noise!

I'm From The Government And I'm Here To Help

The title of this post made up the nine most terrifying words in the English language, according to President Ronald Reagan. Evidently President Obama hasn't learned that lesson. The White House has stated that one of the major points in the upcoming State of the Union address will be the "struggling middle class". Obama plans to outline several steps that he feels will bolster middle class families and provide more financial stability.

His five point plan includes:

1) Nearly Doubling the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit for middle class families making less than $85,000 a year.

2) Limiting a student’s federal loan payments to 10 percent of his or her income above a basic living allowance.

3) Creating a system of automatic workplace IRAs, requiring all employers to give the option for employees to enroll in a direct-deposit IRA.

4) Expanding tax credits to match retirement savings and enacting new safeguards to protect retirement savings, making it easier for families to plan for retirement.

5) Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives, helping them manage their multiple responsibilities and allowing seniors to live in the community for as long as possible.

It's interesting that the President suddenly cares so much about the middle class of America. After spending his first year cramming detrimental legislation down the country's throat and seeing his popularity, thus political capital, go down the drain, he is now pandering for support the same way he did with labor unions, pharmaceuticals and other special interest groups.

What Obama and most Democrats never understand is that our economy and financial security thrive best with less, not more, government interference. It is impossible to legislate or dictate that private companies generate more jobs and pay better salaries. Companies generally offer the best benefits to their employees that they can afford while maintaining a standard of profitability, and to constantly decry executives and CEO's as greedy villains is disingenuous and even detrimental to the marketplace.

The middle class doesn't want Obama's saviour plan for generating jobs and saving money, what they want is less taxes, less penalties and less regulation so that their companies can grow and generate more money for everyone. In the history of the world, government has never been a beacon of efficiency and profitability. Government has never been able to create a single sustainable job because only a free market can create continued demand for service.

This November make sure you vote for less taxes, a drastic reduction in federal spending, a commitment to cutting the deficit and freedom for all Americans, regardless of class.

REMEMBERING MORE - IN TWENTY-TEN

More from the internet, but again, we must remember and honor what those who have gone before us have done for our country.

Look carefully at the B-17 and note how shot up it is - one engine dead, tail, horizontal stabilizer and nose shot up.. It was ready to fall out of the sky. (This is a painting done by an artist from the description of both pilots many years later.) Then realize that there is a German ME-109 fighter flying next to it. Now read the story below. I think you'll be surprised ...

Charlie Brown was a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 379th Bomber Group at Kimbolton, England . His B-17 was called 'Ye Old Pub' and was in a terrible state, having been hit by flak and fighters. The compass was damaged and they were flying deeper over enemy territory instead of heading home to Kimbolton.

After flying the B-17 over an enemy airfield, a German pilot named Franz Stigler was ordered to take off and shoot down the B-17. When he got near the B-17, he could not believe his eyes. In his words, he 'had never seen a plane in such a bad state'. The tail and rear section was severely damaged, and the tail gunner wounded. The top gunner was all over the top of the fuselage. The nose was smashed and there were holes everywhere.

Despite having ammunition, Franz flew to the side of the B-17 and looked at Charlie Brown, the pilot. Brown was scared and struggling to control his damaged and blood-stained plane.

Aware that they had no idea where they were going, Franz waved at Charlie to turn 180 degrees. Franz escorted and guided the stricken plane to, and slightly over, the North Sea towards England . He then saluted Charlie Brown and turned away, back to Europe . When Franz landed he told the CO that the plane had been shot down over the sea, and never told the truth to anybody. Charlie Brown and the remains of his crew told all at their briefing, but were ordered never to talk about it.

More than 40 years later, Charlie Brown wanted to find the Luftwaffe pilot who saved the crew. After years of research, Franz was found. He had never talked about the incident, not even at post-war reunions.

They met in the USA at a 379th Bomber Group reunion, together with 25 people who are alive now - all because Franz never fired his guns that day.

When asked why he didn't shoot them down, Stigler later said, “I didn't have the heart to finish those brave men. I flew beside them for a long time. They were trying desperately to get home and I was going to let them do that. I could not have shot at them. It would have been the same as shooting at a man in a parachute.”

Both men died in 2008.

THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN THERE WAS HONOR IN BEING A WARRIOR ... THEY PROUDLY WORE UNIFORMS, AND THEY DIDN'T HIDE IN AMBUSH INSIDE A MOSQUE, OR BEHIND WOMEN AND CHILDREN, NOR DID THEY USE MENTALLY RETARDED WOMEN AS SUICIDE BOMBERS TO TARGET AND KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS ... HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED ....

REMEMBERING WHEN - IN TWENTY-TEN

The beat goes on. We must never forget. If we fail to learn form history, we are doomed to fail. How much of a reminder and awakening do we need?
