Send Carter back to his Cocoon

It brings back so many (bad) memories when I see Jimmy Carter. In my opinion, Jimmy was the worst President in history. 18% interest, oil embargo, Soviet build-up and so on. Isn't that why Ronald Reagan cleaned his clock in the 1980 Presidential election. Since then, he has been meddling in other President's affairs. I don't think that what he said in the interview with Brian Williams helped the Obama administration. Carter is 80 years old and should retire with some humility. In the bigger picture, how many years has the democrats been playing the race card? 40? 45 years? It is probably just a coincidence that Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Maureen Dowd and Nancy Pelosi are accusing the American people of racism? OMG! They do not have a clue what the people are thinking and protesting against. Or is this a just a coincidence? Joking aside, I feel this is an orchestrated tactical game plan to redirect the train wreck, also known as the President's radical agenda. We are not racist, we are concerned citizens. At the DC rally on Saturday, The attendees were from all walks of life, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern. We sat next to democrats in front of the Capitol. It isn't going to work this time and quite frankly, I think it will backfire this go around. The liberals and administration have denounced the protests, townhalls, tea parties and the 912 DC rally. Now we have Carter and the sycophants playing the race card. I can't help it if Jimmy Carter grew up in the south and saw racism. Why didn't he do anything about Robert Byrd, D-WV and his involvement with the KKK when he was active in politics? I thought our President was the "great uniter"? With these incredulous accusations, he will be labeled the "great divider." I think everyone should Google " Joe Wilson, R-SC." he sounds like a good guy. Maureen Dowd wrote that Joe Wilson said "you lie, boy." Or that is what he meant. We can't help it if she hears voices in her head, they have doctors for that. It is all part of the race card conspiracy. It saddens me to see the left stoop to this level. But, they've done it many times before. Do you remember the grilling of Justice Clarence Thomas and Miguel Estrada? Couldn't you call that racist? They are minorities. It was the democrats who perpetrated the accusations against these two incredible and upstanding legal minds. We, as American citizens, have to keep up the pressure on our representatives and "melt their phones and email." Its so easy, even a caveman can do it! We owe it to ourselves and to our children. In this time, we have a black President, cabinet members and so many other important positions. Yes, we have come a long way and we need to go farther. I guess if they didn't use race for gain, what would Reverends Sharpton and Jackson do for work? Why can't we just get along?

Come on Jimmy, take your meds.


The Cocoon is calling.


Thought of the day:
Wasn't it Candidate Obama who said that his grandmother " was a typical white person." But, that's not racist! Just ask Reverend Wright.

Heathcare Bill, "Just Say No":
Even Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, said he can't vote for this abomination in it's current form. The democrats don't like it, the republicans don't like it. But, Max Baucus likes it! Again, I know I sound like a broken record or "Ground Hog's Day" with Bill Murray, but, we need to light up the congressional switchboards and flood them with emails. My wife and I attended the 912 DC rally and we were so honored to be there and inspired to the point that we can't wait for the next protest rally. It isn't about a black President, it is about the economy, political ideology and the future of our country. We are watching the country we love and respect move in the wrong direction. Take it back!

Deep Thoughts with John:
With all of the race debates, I have something on my mind. I hear African American, Hispanic American, Japanese American and so forth. Wrong, you are either American or you are not. I am of Irish decent, I don't call myself anything but American. My family supposedly came over from County Cork in 1870. Sorry, I didn't know them. This is my country and I lay claim here only. President Obama is a American. I am a American. So what?

News on Polls :
65% of Doctors oppose healthcare bill (IBD)
45% of Doctors would consider quitting if healthcare bill passes (IBD)
55% of Americans oppose healthcare bill overhaul (Rasmussen)
42% of Americans support Healthcare bill overhaul (Rasmussen)
12% believe opposition to Obamacare are racist (Rasmussen)

No Government Funding for Acorn

Why is the U.S. government giving money to a corrupt organization like ACORN? No one knows how much money they receive from the taxpayers. Congratulations to the Census Bureau for severing all business with this group. The House just voted to stop HUD monies going to ACORN. There were seven representatives that voted to keep funding ACORN. Here are the seven that voted to keep funding the illegal immigrant child prostitution, pimp helping, IRS violating conspirators.

Dick "Turban" Durbin, D-IL
Roland Burris, D-IL
Bob Casey, D-PA
Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY
Pat Leahy, D-VT
Bernie Sanders, D-VT
Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI
Citizens of PA, NY, VT, RI and IL, this is your wake up call! We need to vote these representatives out of office. This is not in the best interest of our country.

This is a small sample of violations (crimes) perpertrated by ACORN employees:

Baltimore "Pimp-Hooker" sting operation

Washington, DC "Pimp-Hooker" sting operation

Brooklyn, NY "Pimp-Hooker" sting operation

CO 2005 Two ex-ACORN employees were convicted in Denver of perjury for submitting false voter registrations

CT 2008 The New York Post reported that ACORN submitted a voter registration card for a 7-year-old Bridgeport girl. Another 8,000 cards from the same city will be scrutinized for possible fraud.

FL 2008 Election officials in Brevard County have given prosecutors more than 23 suspect registrations from ACORN. The state's Division of Elections is also investigating complaints in Orange and Broward Counties.

IN 2008 Election officials in Indiana have thrown out more than 4,000 ACORN-submitted voter registrations after finding they had identical handwriting and included the names of many deceased Indianans, and even the name of a fast food restaurant.

MI 2008 Clerks in Detroit found a "sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent [voter] applications" from the Michigan branch of ACORN. Those applications have been turned over to the U.S. Attorney's office for investigation.

MO 2008 Nearly 400 ACORN-submitted registrations in Kansas City have been rejected due to duplication or fake information.
2007 Four ACORN employees were indicted in Kansas City for charges including identity theft and filing false registrations during the 2006 election.
2006 Eight ACORN employees in St. Louis were indicted on federal election fraud charges. Each of the eight faces up to five years in prison for forging signatures and submitting false information.
2003 Of 5,379 voter registration cards ACORN submitted in St. Louis, only 2,013 of those appeared to be valid. At least 1,000 are believed to be attempts to register voters illegally.

What else do you need to see... If this was a republican or conservative group, they would be under federal indictment from the first day. What really worries me is ACORN has submitted applications to receive billions in stimulus funding! That's right, I said billions! The Mafia would love to be in this situation. I believe ACORN should not receive another taxpayer dollar. End of story. There are honest organizations out there that could serve the people. I know President Obama worked with ACORN in the past and still supports the organization wholeheartedly. Why not, they are his foot soldiers committing voter fraud and solidifying a voter base for the democratic party. I would like to see everyone to call their representatives and demand them to stop sending a corrupt organization our taxpayer dollars. The "HUD stop funding" vote still has to make it through committee! www.congress.org



Stooge of the week:
"If we don't censure Joe Wilson for yelling "you lie," then the KKK will ride through the countryside."
Representative Hank Johnson, Democrat

Where do they get these people?

Rage Against the Machine

The Obama machine that is. Its hard to imagine that the Obama administration is downplaying this incredible uprising from concerned citizens in townhall meeting, tea parties and the gigantic "Taxpayer March on Washington, DC" on Saturday in which estimates have been 250,000 protesters. I was there, it was the most inspiring event I have ever attended. (Besides Mass) This is going to be a huge mistake if the administration chooses to discard the movement. Everyone at this event talked about they can't wait for the next one. That's right, it isn't going to end. Matter of fact, it is just starting. "We the people," I saw that a lot on Saturday. It's sad about the state run media, they missed out on a monumental story and decided that it wasn't worth it. Like their stock. We saw Fox News there and some smaller agencies, however, I must of missed ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC. Since we have so many stupid bills in the house. Maybe we should craft a bill stating how the state run media should have to report the news, all of the news, fair and balanced, or they lose their press credentials. While we are at it, make the potential Congress and Senate members take a test on the Constitution. They should have to get a 100% or they can't represent us. Most professions requires some type of testing. Why are they exempt? Because they make the rules. Many of the people I spoke with Saturday, are organizing with their local organization chapters to initiate a campaign to vote out most of the incumbents. It seems citizens are ready to start fresh with their representatives. I called Fox News in New york today and asked them why they showed up in DC on Saturday when none of the competing news agencies decided it was worth it. The lady I spoke with said they thought it would be one of the biggest stories of the weekend. WOW! Imagine that. I can honestly say that I haven't watched any of the big three channels except when I watch football.





"Polls" you can live by"
Rasmussen Reports 9-13-09:
•Today, eight percent (8%) of adults rate the economy as good or excellent. That’s down from 18% a year ago. Fifty-two percent (52%) rate the economy as poor, a figure that is similar to 12 months ago. Among investors, just six percent (6%) rate the economy as good or excellent, down from 23% a year ago.
•Thirty-one percent (31%) of adults rate their own finances as good or excellent. That’s down 11 points from a year ago. Forty-six percent (46%) of investors rate their finances as good or excellent, down 12 from September 14, 2008.
•Twenty percent (20%) of adults say their own finances are getting better, while 46% say they are getting worse. Both figures are down four points from a year ago. Among investors, those numbers are 25% and 38% respectively.
•As for the overall economy, 31% say it’s getting better, but 46% say the opposite. That’s a big improvement from a year ago when just 17% said the economy was getting better and 64% said worse.
•Investors are evenly divided about the direction of the economy: 37% say it's getting better, and 39% say worse. A year ago, just 22% thought things were getting better, while 58% were pessimistic about the trend.

Put it all together and the Rasmussen Consumer Index, at 78.4, is down eight points from a year ago. The Rasmussen Investor Index is down 12 points to 89.1. Both measures of daily economic confidence are up dramatically from lows reached in early March. The all-time low for the Consumer Index was 54.7. The Investor Index hit bottom at 52.5.

Cracks in the ACORN:
Baltimore, MD, Washington, DC, Brooklyn, NY. Aren't we at a point where we should halt all funding for ACORN? They are a corrupt organization with corrupt leadership. These three incidents show what ACORN is all about. Let's not forget all of the indictments of voter fraud. I have a major issue funding this group with taxpayer's money. I think the U. S. Attorney's office should open an investigation. Do you think the President would allow that to happen? I commend the Census Bureau for severing all business with ACORN. The U. S. Government needs to follow suit. I also think we should analyze their tax exempt status if their are conspiring to break the law. Stop wasting our money!

Part 2:


Irony of the day:
The President spoke to the financial sector today, and warned them they can't return to the ways of the past. Call me stupid, but, don't you think Mr. Obama and congress should heed these same warnings?
