NOT PRETTY IN PINK!

I'm really starting to get sick and tired of all this attention on breast cancer. We've all seen professional football players wearing pink in October for the occasion, which makes them look like a bunch of overgrown metrosexual girly men. Just when I thought the situation couldn't
get worse, this next example really took the cake. I first witnessed this video on Greta VanSusteren's show on Fox News. It shows a bunch of hospital workers from Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon donning pink scrubs and dancing around like a bunch of drunken fools to raise awareness for breast cancer. You can see this video for yourself at www.wikio.com/video/2019197.

There's only one word that appropriately describes this shameless video: gay! It was absolutely, positively, and totally gay. If Liberace and Richard Simmons had a baby together, it couldn't be more gay than this stupid display of idiocy. It looked like disco gone bad. (Redundant!) We don't need to bring more attention to this disease. We raise more attention to breast cancer than we do for the economy or the conflict formerly known as the War on Terror. I'm a huge admirer of Ronald Reagan, but I'd be scared to death if researchers from a neurology clinic conducted a spastic dance to raise awareness for Alzheimer's Disease.

More than anything else, this video is insulting to those who actually have breast cancer. The people in that video thought they were helping those with the disease, but they only brought notoriety to themselves. This is not a parade, a dance, a game, or a three-ring circus. This is serious because these gestures do nothing to help those dying of breast cancer. Treating the sick should be a private and personal matter. Former Detroit Lion linebacker Chris Spielman lost his wife to breast cancer last month. Stephanie Spielman was only 42 when she died. I don't think Chris would want his wife's memory to be reduced to a silly song-and-dance routine. This was simply a shameless exhibition. They did not look pretty in pink. They were just totally gay.

(I used some sarcastic hyperbole in this piece. While it is not meant to offend anybody, I felt I needed to use it to get the point across.)

The name is Salahi, Tareq Salahi.

On November 24th, a Virginia couple named Tareq and Michaele Salahi crashed the state dinner at the White House. Although I don't know everything that happened, they apparently went through the White House and Secret Service checkpoints and had their pictures taken with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and many others. They also crashed a Congressional Black Caucus dinner in September. Michaele aspires to be on 'The Real Housewives of DC'. Many people are pondering whether they should be charged with a crime. But I would like this power couple to be put to good use for the country.


In the eight years since the 9/11 tragedy, America has been unable to capture or kill Usama bin Laden. President Obama has committed 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan in the hopes of doing at least something against the Taliban. But in order to get bin Laden, I would implement a new strategy. I think the CIA should train the Salahis to be spies so they can infiltrate Al Qaeda.
If the Salahis can get past Secret Service security during a state dinner at the White House, they can certainly find bin Laden in a cave. We don't need General Patton leading a huge army. All we need are a couple of spies who can get in and out of the toughest places without being detected.


We can even make a Bond movie out of this and call it The Man in the Golden Cave. Tareq Salahi can play James Bond and Michaele can be his Bond girl. They can play this cat-and-mouse spy game with the terrorists, get in and out of near-death situations, and then kill bin Laden in dramatic fashion. Of course, it won't have everything in a typical Bond movie. There won't be any vodka martinis because Muslims don't drink alcohol. There won't be any fancy hotels in the mountains of Afghanistan. Tareq would even have to seduce his own wife to make the movie interesting, which never really happens in Hollywood. Nevertheless, it would be a huge hit with audiences. There's no need to put the Salahis in jail. Let's put their talents to good use. I'm sure the Salahis would leave the terrorists shaken, but not stirred. To be serious, this is a sad breach of security. The Salahis failed to show up at a House conference meeting to get to the bottom of the issue. Now they'll have to be issued a subpoena.

This is my first posting on teapartypatriots.org. I've had my blog, called THE DREAD BLOG, since March of 2009. You can check out all of my postings on http://www.gjlarouche.blogspot.com/.

Win one for Stephanie!

I've stated on my blog before about my protest against the National Football League wearing pink during October to raise awareness of breast cancer. But this doesn't mean that I'm apothetic to the situation. Last Thursday, Stephanie Spielman, wife of former Detroit Lion linebacker Chris Spielman, lost her life to breast cancer at the tender age of 42. I want to extend only my deepest sympathies to her friends and loved ones. As the Lions prepare to play their annual Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers tomorrow, I would like the team to dedicate the game to Stephanie. And I won't mind seeing the team wear pink to pay tribute to her. In the meantime, I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And please give thanks for all we have.

Keep talking, Sarah!

Sarah Palin's new book, Going Rogue, has become the most popular new book around. It is already number one on the New York Times list and will reach 1 million in sales very soon. But one thing that has struck me as funny is that a lot of people are still trying to destroy her. But I think Sarah Palin will get the last laugh. She's hitting all of the talk shows to promote her book. She recently went on Oprah Winfrey's show. Then less than one week later, Oprah announced on her show that she will call it quits in 2011 after 25 years of hosting her show. Wait. I see a pattern here. Sarah Palin goes on Oprah's show, and Oprah calls it quits. I think it's because she realizes that the man she supported for President, Barack Obama, is tanking in the polls and that Palin is poised to beat him in 2012. Now that's something for Oprah to cry about.

On the other hand, Palin talked to Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteran on Fox News, and their shows are still going strong. Sarah Palin should go on all the shows hosted by liberals because then they will be calling it quits just like Oprah did. She should go on Larry King and even David Letterman so they will retire in shame. Then she can go on every show on MSNBC so the entire network can fold like a cheap tent. It would be a perfect strategy on her way to a landslide victory in three years. Keep talking, Sarah. You have powers you don't know exist.

And when President Palin takes office in 2013, I'd love for her to do the obligatory pardoning
of that one turkey on Thanksgiving on the condition that the one that gets spared will have to watch all of his friends get killed and eaten. That way the new President can give the lone surviving turkey greater appreciation for living and a tremendous guilt complex. And nobody will have to serve a turkey to Palin. She can kill, skin, and cook it herself. So eat that turkey on Thanksgiving. I'm sure it will taste delicious.

More Chuck Norris facts!

You may have heard the latest pop culture sensation hitting America today, Chuck Norris facts.
Some of the many facts include: Chuck Norris counted to infinity, twice; Chuck Norris eats bullets for breakfast. Watch out when he burps; Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas at night.
I'm sure you get the joke in all of this. Chuck is one tough man. I've come up with some of my own. Check them out and see if you like them:

Chuck Norris makes caffeine nervous.
Chuck Norris slapped General Patton.
Chuck Norris chases the bulls in Spain.
Chuck Norris shot Old Yeller and didn't even cry about it.
Chuck Norris ate Hannibal Lector's liver.

Now on to a serious topic. The U.S. Senate is working today to bring the issue of the Senate health care bill up to the floor of the Senate. The Democrats need 60 votes to bring the issue up for debate. If they succeed, their health care bill will pass. Then the issue will go to the joint committee so that the House and Senate can iron out the differences. I hope for the best, but I fear the worst. Contact your Senators today and tell them not to vote for socialized medicine. But if they do, I'm sure Chuck Norris would like to straighten them out. He is one tough man.

Fighting for a new Constitution!

I've been involved in politics for 13 years now. While I believe conservatism is certainly on the rise among the masses, it has yet to create an impact in the halls of government. While I could fight for candidates and issues like I've been doing all along, my goal for next year will be more focused and personal. My objective for 2010 is to call for a Constitutional Convention for Michi-gan in 2010. The stakes cannot be higher. Washington is spending trillions of dollars it doesn't have. Michigan was recently ranked as one of the 10 worst state governments in America thanks to Governor Jennifer Granholm and her liberal cronies. There have been several nicknames for her over the years: Jenny G.; Jennifer Gramcracker; Barbie; Jihad Jennifer; Canadian Trash! I'm sure you could come up with some of your own. But regardless of what you call her, you have to call our situation hopeless unless we change course.

The question of a constitutional convention will come up next year. I've been working on my own ideas for a new constitution and a new course for Michigan. We can do so much to make Michi-gan better. Among the many improvements I've come up with are: a slight reduction in state legislators; a huge reduction in the number of departments in the executive branch; strict new limits on taxation and spending; term limits on judges, local officials, and even members of Congress. Our Founding Fathers created a Constitution in 1787 to create a national government that was strong enough to keep the states protected in case of dangers from foreign enemies, was limited enough to grant the states local powers, yet compassionate enough to preserve God-
given rights to the people. This system of government has kept us free for well over 200 years, but now our politicians want to take our rights and our money away through socialized medi-cine, the bailouts, cap and trade, and everything else. It's time that we put an end to this non-sense. I'm going to be dedicating my blog to arguing my perspective as to why we need a new state constitution. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, effectively argued the need
for an American Constitution with 'The Federalist Papers.' Now I want to do the same for Michigan.

G.J. LaRouche, 20 November 2009

Move over, Dr. Jack Kevorkian!

Last Thursday, an Army psychiatrist, Major Malik Hasan (whom hereafter shall be referred to as 'Radical Muslim Terrorist' or RMT) killed 13 soldiers and wounded 30 others at Fort Hood in Texas. There's this huge argument between whether or not this man simply snapped or if this was an act of terror. I believe this was an act of terror and he didn't just snap. He planned this for a long time and he wanted to wipe out as many soldiers as he could. Even the terrorist groups praised what he did. But I have my own perspective on this and I want to see if you can follow me on this one.

President Barack Obama's big agenda item is universal health care for all Americans. Two days after the massacre at Fort Hood, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's universal health care bill, H.R. 3962. Now RMT was an Army psychiatrist, which means he was a medical doctor working for the federal government. This means that if universal health care becomes law, we can expect more doctors like RMT gunning down sick patients.
I know this may seem like a stretch, but was it just a coincidence that the House Democrats started cheering wildly after the bill was passed? Why settle for death panels when you can have firing squads that are much more efficient? And where was Congressman Alan Grayson in all of this? You'd think he would be against what RMT just did. He scolded Republicans for wanting Americans to die quickly, yet RMT wiped out 13 of our bravest soldiers at home. I wish Grayson would be a man and speak up against what RMT did.

But this was not only an act of terror, but also a crime of opportunity. Soldiers at Fort Hood are prohibited from carrying firearms on the base. What a minute. Let me get this straight. You mean to tell me that our soldiers do not have the right to keep and bear arms? Our soldiers defend our constitutional rights, especially the second amendment. The National Rifle Association should be up in arms over this, no pun intended. If our soldiers don't have the right to defend themselves, then any of us can be denied that right also. RMT knew that and he took advantage of our weakness. And so was the case with what happened on September 11th, 2001.
19 RMTs hijacked four planes loaded with unarmed passengers. The rest is history.

I just hope America will wake up before She is history. We need to prevent this from happening again. We need to arm ourselves with facts and with guns if we are to remain safe and sound. We need to change protocol to allow our soldiers, who are trained to kill our enemies with guns, to bear arms to protect themselves and this great country. It's only common sense. If I can figure this out, anybody can. Let's give up this politically correct nonsense and call this what it is,
an act of terror. If we can at least do this, then perhaps we can prevent massacres like this in the future. More over, Dr. Jack Kevorkian! There's a new Dr. Death!

{P.S. I realize that this commentary may sound controversial to those who are sensitive to my kind of straight talk. And maybe there really isn't a direct link to what happened at Fort Hood and the government's push to take over our health care system. But would you be surprised if there was?}

G.J. LaRouche, 12 November 2009

Madam Speaker, tear down this wall!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan
delivered his prophetic 'tear down this wall' speech. Yet today, instead of defeating Communism,
our government is promoting it. On Saturday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Bill 3962 by a vote of 220-215. This is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) notorious socialized medicine bill. This will cost taxpayers well over $1 trillion in its first ten years starting in 2013.

But don't think that all Democrats went along with this. 39 Democrats voted against the bill, and only one Republican, Joseph Cao of Louisiana, voted for it. Now President Barack Obama can claim this was a bipartisan effort. The Democrats won two special House elections on Tuesday, one in California and one in New York. If Republicans had won those seats and voted against the bill along with Cao, the bill would've been defeated! The bill also has the Bart Stupak (D-MI) amendment, which prohibits public funding for abortions. It passed 240-176, with 64 Democrats voting for it and John Shaddegg (R-AZ) voting present. Now the bill goes to the Senate. I don't know what will happen there, but the bill has a long way to go until it becomes law.

The House of Representatives did something that was not American and not constitutional. Pelosi bragged about passing the bill, but she could barely hold her own coalition together. In a legislative body in which the Democrats hold a 258-177 advantage, the bill passed by five little votes. The Democrats are erecting walls in an era when socialism is on the rise in America. 20 years ago, America could brag about crushing the Soviet Empire. Now we are creating the American Empire. If you want to know how bad our debts are, log on to www.usdebtclock.org.
There you will see the horrible numbers our economy faces, including a national debt of $12 trillion and over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities in our entitlement programs. HR 3962 will make those numbers grow higher with no end in sight.

This is nothing to brag about. Madam Speaker, tear down this wall!

I HAVE HAD IT!

On Tuesday I did some campaigning for David Magliulo who is running for Mayor of Sterling Heights. While passing out some literature to this one man, he criticized me for driving a foreign car. I knew he was bad news from the moment I saw him. He had this eternal ticked off look about him. When he mentioned about the car I drive, I told him that I'm sorry he felt that way and left. This has been going on for a while now. I think people are catching on to who I am and what I believe in. There were two other instances when union guys intimidated me (although indirectly) for driving a foreign car. The first came last year while I was running for the Charter Commission in the summer of 2008. Some guy placed a union bumper sticker on the back of my car. Then last winter, somebody placed a piece of paper saying 'buy American' on my front windshield. Okay, I get it! You want me to buy American. Now I hope to give my side of the story just to let you know that I'm not such a bad guy.

My car is a 1991 Toyota Celica with over 180,000 miles on it. It gets me to where I need to go, but I didn't buy it. My mother handed it down to me after she bought a Chrysler. This car is the first foreign car I've had. My first car was a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am. This proves that I have bought American. But my current car is all I have, and I'm flat broke just like everybody else. My car is all I have to my name, and I'm stuck with it.

But why should I buy an American car to begin with? Two out of 'The Big 3' are owned by the government, and we all know the horrific track record the government has in running and ruining everything like the Post Office, welfare, entitlement programs, education, and so on. And the other car company owns a football team, the Detroit Lions, that has lost 29 of its last 31 games. If I'm going to buy a new car, I'd like to see better performance than this. But this has nothing to do with just buying American. It has to do with union control. The unions run 'The Big 3.' And when we buy American cars, the unions take a lot of that money. And 99% of all political contributions from the unions go to the Democratic Party. In other words, you are making a de facto contribution to socialism when you buy American cars.

I hate being cajoled into buying something. If you Soviet Union thugs want me to buy American,
earn my trust! I have the right to make choices as an American because it is the American way.
Besides, the Democrats don't want us to drill for oil here in America. It would be pointless to buy an American car if I can't put American fuel in that car. I want to be inspired to buy American products, and you Soviet Union thugs are failing miserably in that category. And I don't want you to come anywhere near my car. It is mine. You don't inspire. You just intimidate. But I don't cave in to that. If just one person would come up to me and say, 'Mr. LaRouche, I would love for you to buy American cars because they are the best in the world. And we won't use your pay-
ments to advance a socialist agenda,' I might consider it. But for now, consider me a frustrated customer. 'Nuf said!

Vive la France, I think!

There's been a lot of Latino pride going on in America today. Latinos make up a huge voting block and are the backbone of the amnesty movement. They have their own constituency in our popular culture, including award shows and a huge party at the White House earlier this month.
President Barack Obama apponited the first Latina to the U.S. Supreme Court. They seem to be everywhere. It's true that Latino countries dominate Central and South America, but the official language in most of them is Spanish. This means that they all stem from one European country, Spain. The Latino race even has its own category on applications. But the Latino race is really just a European nationality, not a separate race like black, white, or yellow. It's just being sold as a race. Because of the amnesty issue, the Latino culture has become the politically correct European nationality disguised as a race. Latino pride is everywhere, but God forbid if the other European countries tried to show their own pride like the Spanish have. Let me give you some examples:

Can't have Irish pride. They're a bunch of fighting drunks.
Can't have British pride. They're snobby.
Can't have French pride. They're obnoxious.
Can't have Swedish pride. They're a bunch of dumb blondes.
Can't have Italian pride. They're a bunch of gangsters.
Can't have German pride. They're a bunch of Nazis.
Can't have Polish pride. They're stupid.
Can't have Swiss pride. They're a bunch of neutral wimps.
Can't have Russian pride. They're a bunch of vodka-drinking Commies. (True!)
Can't have Greek pride. Their weddings are too big and fat.

There. I just offended everybody on the planet, including those of my French heritage. But why can't we have French pride like we have Latino pride? America wouldn't exist if it weren't for France. France helped the American colonies defeat the British empire to help us gain our independence from the royal crown. In 1804, France sold the Louisiana Purchase to America, doubling the size of this mighty country. France gave America the Statue of Liberty, her flame greeting millions of immigrants to make this country what it is. Of course, France hasn't shown us a lot of gratitude lately, even though we saved them from oppression three times in the 20th century. I understand that Mexico has had huge problems with corruption and drugs, but Canada has universal health care and is very cold. But you don't see two million Canadians running south of the border illegally every year yelling 'vive la France!' The only Canadians coming to America are those that need emergency medical care that Canada can't do with its universal health care program.

I watched a little bit of the Latin celebration at the White House earlier this month, complete with all of the singers and actors showing off their pride. The entire Obama family was there singing and dancing without a care in the world, as if Mr. Obama has nothing to worry about with our pitiful economy and our troops dying in Afghanistan. It's a shame that such pride should be limited to only a small group of people. Let's show some American pride that celebrates the richness and diversity of all the people. In the meantime, vive la France. Sort of.

The NFL takes a pass on Rush!

Last night, the group that took an interest in purchasing the St. Louis Rams of the National Foot-
ball League dropped Rush Limbaugh as a potential limited partner in the deal, citing that the recent controversy of Limbaugh's racist comments has complicated the ordeal. Dave Checketts,
owner of the NHL's St. Louis Blues and Chairman of SCP Worldwide, which put in the bid to buy the Rams, dumped Limbaugh like uranium-235. It is really sad when a man who has done so much for talk radio, America, and conservatism can be treated so viciously. Yet the racist con-
troversy is merely a diversion into the real issue; Rush Limbaugh is an true conservative who believes in the American spirit. The comment he made in 2003 about people wanting Donavan McNabb to succeed because he's black, while being a provacative statement, doesn't make Rush a racist and certainly shouldn't deny him the ability to be a limited partner for an NFL team.

It is a real shame that the NFL won't let a great American put millions of his own dollars on the line to promote capitalism in a time when government takeovers in every industry are ruining the economy. His money is green, so let him invest it. We need more investments in America. And do you really think that anything Rush has done makes him more controversial than a lot of
other sports owners out there? Is Rush more troublesome than Al Davis or George Steinbren-ner? Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban, a spoiled crybaby if there ever was one, has been fined multiple times for confronting officials on the basketball court. He also financed a movie called 'Redacted' that trashed our brave soldiers fighting in the War on Terror. Besides, how can you trust a guy named Cuban to begin with? Limbaugh would be a limited partner, meaning that he can't make personnel decisions. So nobody would even have to worry about him deciding on who gets to play for the Rams.

The NFL has had a real image problem since Roger Goodell became commissioner. NFL players are forced to wear pink during October to raise awareness for breast cancer, which makes them look like a bunch of overgrown girly men. Michael Vick is allowed to play in the NFL again after he tortured and slaughtered many dogs just for fun and sport. If we're going to go down this road, the next thing you know O.J. Simpson will be let out of prison after President Barack Obama pardons him and will be allowed to be a commentator. Speaking of Simpson, I think the NFL should erase his memory from football by removing his name from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Goodell could've done the right thing here by telling everybody to back off on Rush Limbaugh, but he didn't do that. Goodell is letting the prestige of the NFL slip through his fingers, and I have no respect for him at all.

This is not the National Football League that I knew growing up. The game once stood for excellence, goodness, and patriotism. But that's all changing. Like I said before, the NFL should at least pay tribute to President Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday on Super Bowl XLV. Yet I doubt that the league will do even that much. In the meantime, Limbaugh should make a bid to buy the Detroit Lions. I'm sure they could use some improvement.

G.J. LaRouche, 15 October 2009

The Messiah has his cup!

This morning, America has learned that President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. This officially confirms that Obama is now the Messiah because he just received his Holy Grail! Now all of his admirers can drink the wine (or is that Kool-Aid?) from his chalice and experience eternal life. Next thing you know children will be singing songs to celebrate their annointed one. After Jimmy Carter and Al Gore, Obama is a natural choice for the Nobel Committee to receive its Peace Prize. He has led America into an economic tailspin with massive spending programs, bailouts, and the printing of money. Countries will soon reject the American dollar as a means of purchasing oil. Unemployment is now in double digits. Health care legislation
could bankrupt the country. Obama is hesitant on sending more troops to win the war in Afghanistan. President Carter was responsible for creating the Misery Index, which won him
his Nobel Peace Prize. Now Obama has won the prize for creating a whole new category for America: the Catastrophe Index. Mathematicians from all other the world will have to create new formulas for how bad things are going to get under the Catastrophe Index.

Even though the nominating committees for the Nobel Prizes are in Norway, I'm absolutely convinced that these committees are saturated with dumb blondes from nearby Sweden. How else can you explain how the same Nobel Peace Prize can be awarded to Mother Teresa of a different era to President Obama today? Let me give you my analysis of how dumb Swedish blondes are. Swedish blondes are so dumb:
1) they think pro bono is a law requiring Sonny and Cher to get back together. Of course, they
will never reunite because Sonny is in heaven;
2) they think an ambulance chaser is a stiff drink;
3) they filed a class action lawsuit against Hollywood claiming that the movie 'Legally Blonde'
was based on their life story. As a further testiment to their stupidity, they won the case.

So you can see why conservatives like me get frustrated that the Nobel Committee never awarded the Peace Prize to Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, or Pope John Paul II. Yet in a way, the dumb blondes may have done America a favor. If they really wanted to help Obama win a second term, they should've awarded the prize to him in 2012, just before he was up for reelection. Obama claimed his Holy Grail so early that he has nowhere to go but down from this moment forward. So could dumb blondes be responsible for Obama's downfall? Yes they could.

G.J. LaRouche, 9 October 2009

Congratulations to Rio!

I would like to congratulate the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for being the host city of the 2016 Summer Olympics. As you know, Rio beat out Chicago, Madrid, and Tokyo to get the games. But it is sad to see Chicagoans and other liberals getting so sore about not getting the bid. Politicians even blamed the image left behind by former President George W. Bush for the snub. I'm surprised White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel didn't send the International Olympic Committee a dead fish. All the heads of state of the countries in the finals made a personal pitch for their home teams, including President Barack Obama. What was funny was that the entire media thought this was in the bag for Chicago. But not only did Chicago not get the gold, it couldn't even get the bronze.

In a way, I'm glad Chicago didn't get the games. It would've been a logistical and financial night-
mare for the city. If you've ever been there, you'd know that traffic is really bad, and not just during rush hour. The city government is saturated with corruption and cronyism. Yet here is President Obama doing something against his own instinct in order to convince the IOC to host the games in Chicago; he had to say something nice about America. During the first eight months of his Presidency, he has apologized for America's past sins and has insisted that his own country
is responsible for all the ills of the world. Whether it's pollution, imperialism, or aggogance, Obama claims that America can't do a darn thing right. He has never given credit to America's
role in making the world a richer, freer, more prosperous place to be. And now that his buddies were on the verge of making huge bucks off the Olympics, Obama did a one-eighty to try to sell America as a great country.

And while America is on the verge of an economic collapse, Obama wasted an entire day to board Air Force One and waste tons of fuel, time, energy, and money to speak favorably on behalf of America for once. But the trip wasn't a complete waste of time. He did speak to General Stanley
McChrystal, the commander of American forces in Afghanistan, about the war in that region of the world. But this came only after we learned that he had talked to McChrystal once in 70 days about the situation. McChrystal warned the President that we need 40,000 more troops or else
the war will be lost. Obama already lost the Olympics, the economy, the country, and faith in Americans. Why would we expect anything different out of him with our national security? But let's keep one thing in mind. Regardless of how much the Democrats mess everything up, it'll always be Bush's fault.

I was rooting for Rio to get the Olympics from the beginning. This is the first Olympics, summer or winter, to be held anywhere in South America. America has held many Olympiads in the past. Give a new country a shot. The Olympics is about the world, not just America. By the way, the announcement of the Rio de Janiero games came last Friday, which just happened to be my birthday. I do look a little old for 21 (give or take 20 years), but I do the best I can.

The NFL is suffering from a Code Red!

The National Football League has officially flown the coup for the past couple of years. October is breast cancer awareness month. This past weekend, all of the NFL players wore pink on their uniforms to let the whole world know that even large macho men can be pink on the inside. Call me macho and old-fashioned, but this whole breast cancer stuff has gone overboard. The real problem here is that political pressure is emasculating the male species. Football is a manly sport. It should be about the game and the game only. And all of this really serves no practical purpose whatsoever. It does nothing to actually discover a cure for any cancer. And all this pink makes it look like the players are paying homage to the radical anti-war group Code Pink. It just makes big men look silly.

Now I'm not trying to make light of the disease or be insensitive here. All cancers are devasta-ting. Cancer patients go through tremendous pain. But I am saying that the NFL is an inappro-
priate vehicle to raise awareness for breast cancer. And what is behind the obsession with women's breasts besides the obvious, anyway? Don't any women feel uncomfortable with all this attention drawn to them? Breasts are very personal parts of a woman's anatomy. I'd feel much more comfortable if we didn't discuss the matter at all. How would men feel if the NFL players starting wearing black to raise awareness of prostate cancer? Again, it would be a very private issue. I don't know how the players feel about this personally, but I wouldn't want them to be labeled as uncaring grunts if they agreed with me on this. If players want to fight for causes that are personal to them with their own money, more power to them. But charity should be a personal endeavor. It would be much more appropriate if the WNBA took up this cause instead.
In the meantime, let men be men.

In the meantime, I'm lobbying the NFL to pay tribute to President Ronald Reagan, who would
have turned 100-years-old on the same day of Super Bowl XLV - Sunday, February 6th, 2011.
If the NFL is willing to bring back Michael Vick, I think the least it can do is pay homage to a great American President for one glorious moment.

Let's demand a new state constitution!

Michigan has a very important election coming up next year. Up for grabs will be the entire leadership of Michigan's government - state-wide seats, legislative seats, judicial positions,
and many local seats. The real reason 2010 will be pivotal is because this will be a Census year. The state legislature will control the district lines. The party in power will also control taxes, spending priorities, and other key topics. But I think the people of Michigan should demand a new constitutional convention in 2010. With the Tea Party movement in full swing, we can do this.

If you've never actually read the Michigan State Constitution, I suggest you do so. It really is an interesting read. It has literally hundreds of sections dictating how our state government must operate, ranging from tax policies to spending and bureaucratic priorities. It gives a lot of power to the government. I think the time is right for this. According to Article XII, Section 3 of the State Constitution, the people of Michigan may demand a general revision of the constitution starting in 1978 and every 16th year afterward. In 1978 and in 1994, Michiganders rejected the notion of a constitutional convention. In 2010, the people may once again demand for a new constitution, one that does a better job in extending the rights of the people and limiting the size, scope, and power of the state government. With the economy in the tank as it is, we can and must do this.

On a lighter note, I want to wish a very happy birthday to Jack LaLanne, fitness guru to himself.
(That's a joke!) He turned 95 on September 26th. Unfortunately for Jack, he has now reached
middle age, so it's all downhill from now on. I'm going to be 41 this Friday. And when I pass away
from this earth many years from now, I hope Jack will perform my eulogy.

Obama bashes America again!

Yesterday I was watching the pathetic gathering of world leaders at the United Nations Head-
quarters in New York City. Every despot, dictator, thug, mass murderer, and crook converged there to bash the host nation. President Barack Obama spoke in front of the assembly, and the bad guys couldn't get enough of how he bashed his own country. From climate change to nuclear
disarmament, Obama used the bully pulpit of the UN to knock down the US. I won't get into
great detail about who was there or what they said. But as I watched these 'leaders' blocking traffic and wasting time and space in NYC, the more I believe these guys looked like the Specter
Organization from the James Bond movies. Dr. No and Goldfinger would fit right in.

Obama finally had his chance to criticize President George W. Bush's War on Terror, slam America's willingness to pollute the planet, and insist on our need to eliminate all nuclear weapons. Obama is negotiating on a position of weakness as he downsizes our military and cripples our economy. He has bashed America abroad. Now he bashed America on his home turf in front of murderous world leaders. Obama has absolutely no shame. And the reason is simple: President Obama hates America! I do not say this lightly, but rather with a heavy heart. I wish I didn't have to say it, but I believe it is true. Obama never mentions America's greatness, but rather apologizes for Her mistakes. True, America isn't perfect. The problem is that liberals like Obama et al are ruining this country. America has become flawed because of liberals. So if America is not perfect, they have only themselves to blame. We need to realize that before they destroy this country.

I, however, need to end my commentary on a positive note. Fox News anchorwoman Megyn Kelly gave birth to her baby boy. Edward Yates Brunt was born around 10:00 a.m. this morning at seven pounds, ten ounces. Megyn is the wife of Doug Brunt.

Turn the water on!

I was watching 'Hannity' Thursday night. Sean Hannity's show airs at 9 p.m. weekdays on the Fox News Channel. Sean was on location in California with thousands of farmers complaining about the federal government's decision to turn the water off on their crops. The extreme envi-
ronmentalists in the Obama administration did this because some two-inch smelt fish was on the Endangered Species List. They thought that turning the water off would save the fish. All they are doing is hurting the farmers. That region of central California grows a huge percentage of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other crops that feed America and the world.

On the show, comedian and activist Paul Rodriguez talked to Sean about the plight of the farmers. They are suffering from 40% unemployment, parched land, and no crops. And the farmers have to stand in line for food. Wait a minute. There's something wrong here. I thought farmers were supposed to feed people and enjoy the fruits of their labor, but this is not the case. Because of lower supplies, food prices are going to go way up. More people will be out of work. Food will have to be imported from foreign countries like China. Worst of all, the farmers can't make a living and contribute to the tax base. This is why our economy is going down and our deficits are spiraling out of control. Back during America's founding, most people were farmers.
Farming is one of America's greatest professions. Many of our Founding Fathers were farmers. That's what they did. Today, our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves.

It has been only eight months since President Barack Obama took office. He has done more damage to this country than probably any President in history. What he is doing to these farmers in California is just one example out of many on how he has ruined America. I hope the Tea Party movement gains momentum for another three years so we can throw these bums out.
As for as helping the farmers out, I have a perfect solution. Let's put homo sapiens on the Endangered Species List. That way we can save ourselves.

Let's reprimand Kanye West!

Yesterday, the House of Representatives reprimanded Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) of saying 'you lie' during President Barack Obama's address to Congress on socialized medicine. (Let's call it what it is!) Wilson was responding to Obama's claim that illegal aliens wouldn't be covered under his plan. Everybody will admit that it was inappropriate for Wilson to disrupt the President's speech, but let's give this some perspective. The Republicans wanted to add amend-
ments to H.R. 3200 that would prohibit coverage to illegal aliens, but the Democrats shot them all down. Wilson also apologized to the President, who accepted the apology. But the Democrats in the House couldn't help themselves. They had to waste an hour of precious floor time to repri- mand a member who already apologized for his actions. The liberal press have been labeling this incident as being racist. They couldn't be more wrong. Nevermind the fact that Democrats will destroy the reputations of decent black conservatives like Condoleezza Rice and Clarence Thomas. In the eyes of the liberal media, Democrats are not capable of racism despite the fact that Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

Now let's flash forward to the MTV Video Music Awards show last Sunday night. When 19-year-old country star Taylor Swift won the award for best female music video, she got up on stage to accept it. Then out of nowhere, rapper Kanye West stormed the stage, grabbed the microphone out of Taylor's hand, and started ranting on how Beyonce's video should've won the award. How does this compare to what Congressman Wilson did? Did Wilson storm Obama's podium to take away his precious teleprompter? Did Wilson go on a tirade on how socialized medicine was bad?
Of course not! Nevermind the fact that West and Beyonce are black and Taylor Swift is white.
The liberal press would never think of this as a racist incident even though it wasn't. I think MTV should reprimand Kanye West from ever appearing on the VMA show ever again. He's done stupid things like this before. If a reprimand is good enough for a two-word rebuke, it should be good enough for Kanye West's outrageous stunt.

Medicine is a personal responsibility.

President Barack Obama made his 'State of Socialized Medicine' address Wednesday night. But
I don't want to drag on and on about the details of the plan like whether there will be a public option, death panels, or coverage for illegal aliens. Obama wants us to think that if Americans
will put their faith in government to provide for socialized medicine, they will experience social utopia by living forever. All of us will experience a catastrophic health event by tomorrow, so we need the government to ensure us by today. This is totally ridiculous! I have news for all of you. It will come as a shock, so brace yourselves. All of us will die someday. I know it sounds impos-sible to believe, but it's true. Government cannot prevent the inevitable. God will take us one day. Obama is doing this to consolidate raw power. But don't think all of the blame lies only with the Democrats. In 2003, President George W. Bush signed the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill into law. We already have huge liabilities coming from that. I have a much better health care plan than that. It doesn't involve government. It is the Personal Responsibility for Good Health Bill. Here are some basic provisions:

Don't smoke! You'll get lung cancer and heart disease;
Don't drink so much booze! You'll kill brain cells and destroy your liver;
Eat fruits and vegetables! They'll give you energy and strengthen your immune system;
Drink plenty of water! It'll flush your toxins out of your body;
Drink tea! It'll speed your metabolism and help you defy big government;
Don't make love to strangers! You'll get STDs;
Eat lean meat! You'll grow big and strong;
Stay away from refined sugar and fatty foods! You'll get obese;
Do aerobic exercises! You'll increase your endurance;
Lift weights! You'll get strong and punch liberals to the ground;
Be kind to others! They'll return the favor;
Get eight hours of sleep every night! It'll refresh you for the next day;
Go to church! It's good for your soul;

I know I sound like an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy, but I'm a conservative. While nobody is perfect and bad things will happen, claiming responsibility for our own health will make us
accountable for our actions, lower the costs of health care, and help us lead longer, healthier lives. Now that's a plan we can all live with.

Today also marks the eighth anniversary of the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. The airwaves will be saturated with memorials all day. I just want to send a simple prayer for America and hope we never have to experience another day like that again.

G.J. LaRouche, 11 September 2009

Barackopolis part 2? I don't think so!

As of today, President Barack Obama has appointed over 30 czars. The most famous one of them was Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, who recently resigned Sunday morning due to all of his controversial comments and intentions coming to light. I looked up the word czar yesterday in my dictionary. Czar means a ruler or a tyrant, like somebody who has control over others. I don't even know where to begin with all these czars, but they range from the Green Jobs Czar to the Regulatory Czar, the Science Czar, the Great Lakes Czar, the Car Czar, the Pay Czar, and on and on the list goes. They receive very little scrutiny from the White House and are not getting advice and consent approval from the Senate. This means that Obama is bypassing constitution-al authority by creating an executive oligarchy, meaning that a few people within the White House dictate public policy.

Tonight, President Obama will make his speech in front of a joint session of Congress and America asking for approval of H.R. 3200, the socialized medicine bill. Oh, he'll make it sound much more benign then his real intentions, just like yesterday's address to America's children. But forget the fact that this is socialized medicine for a minute. Why would he ask Congress to approve universal health care while he consolidated power for himself by skipping Senate
confirmation for his czars? Even Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), a very liberal Democrat, is critical of Obama concentrating power for his personal gain. I think Obama will destroy any chance of credibility tonight in front of Congress and the American people, but for different reasons. Americans don't want rationed care and higher taxes. Congress doesn't want to be left out of the loop while Obama exercises excessive executive power. But even if H.R. 3200 goes down in flames, what would prevent Obama from appointing a Health Care Czar?

Obama wants to create the aura of last year's acceptance speech in Denver. Back then, he was at his apex before he controlled anything. But what a difference a year makes. Now he's on the verge of controlling everything. Let's hope the American people will stop him before it's too late.

G.J. LaRouche, 9 September 2009

Don't let this drag on too long!

Like the majority of Americans, I am against H.R. 3200, the bill about socialized medicine. It will cost trillions of dollars, ration care, and leave doctors high and dry. If you want an example of how socialized medicine will ruin America, think about the 'Cash for Clunkers' program. First of all, that's a degrading name for people like me who must depend on old cars. The way the pro-gram works is that you can receive up to $4,500 when you trade in your old car to a dealership and purchase a new car. That sounds like a bargain, but there's more to the story. The dealers have to fill out an application that's 20 pages long on each clunker. Talk about paperwork. Then the government will give the dealers the money within a week. The problem is that the gov-ernment is not compensating the dealers for the clunkers. I've been watching Fox News. Many dealers have complained that at least 90% of the money they were promised hasn't been given to them. Why all the delays? It's because the government by its very nature is slow to respond to anything. If they can't deliver promptly with cars, imagine how bureaucrats will screw up our health care.

Let me give you an example of this with our health care. Imagine we had socialized medicine and the government set up a program called 'Money for Babies'. The program will compensate ob/gyns $1,000 for every baby they deliver. If an ob/gyn delivers 300 babies a year, he should receive $300,000 from the government. But in reality, let's say that the doctor has to fill out a form 20 pages long for each baby and deliver it to the government to get paid. But the gov-ernment can set its own strict rules. If the doctor doesn't fill the form out completely, or makes a spelling mistake, or doesn't fill it out in time, the government might hold back on payment. This would result in a huge black market in the health care industry. Patients will receive inferior care in places that are totally inadequate. It would create total chaos.

Saul Alinsky, the grandfather of radical activism and the author of 'Rules for Radicals', said that anything that drags on too long becomes a drag. The ball is in President Barack Obama's court. He'll be speaking in front of a joint session of Congress next week to push his health care plan. If I were advising him, I would tell him that if the Democrats can't pass universal health care in
September because it would cause a huge backlash with Americans, then he should drop this like uranium-235. Then he should wait to pick this up again in 2011 with a new Congress after the dust settles. There is such a thing as trying too hard. Sometimes it's better to change strategies
to prevent further damage.

America should acquire VSP!

We've all heard of ESP, also known as extra sensory perception. This gives you the ability predict the future and avoid catastrophies. But I think America should acquire VSP in 2012. VSP is the acronym for Victory for Sarah Palin. We've all seen what a disaster President Barack Obama has been with everything from higher taxes, spending binges, a shrinking economy, a government takeover of everything, the degrading of our national security, and so many other things. And you didn't need ESP to figure this out. All you had to do was apply some common sense and conduct your own research on Mr. Obama and his people.

I discovered one organization that is predicting total doom for our planet very shortly. It is called
the Institute for Human Continuity. This organization predicts that a world-wide catastrophe, like a giant meteor, will wipe out the earth and all human beings on December 21st, 2012. IHC
claims that the only way to survive this certain doom is to register with its organization so you can have a ticket to go into a shelter just before disaster strikes. Yet I know that disaster will strike on this particular day, but not from a meteor. If President Obama wins a second term in 2012, that will mean disaster for America and the whole human race. There's only one way to prevent this disaster, and it's not by joining crazy liberals in meteor shelters. If Americans unite
behind Sarah Palin and elect her as the 45th President of the United States in 2012, all will be
right with the world. No shelters will be necessary. If you want to do further research, log on to www.instituteforhumancontinuity.org. This public service announcement is sponsored by DREAD, Devoted Republicans Engage Against the Democrats.

The state of the NFL!

Football season is coming soon. This is my favorite time of year. I love everything about football - the passion, the strategy, the rivalries, the aggression, and even the cheerleaders. But I do have a beef with Commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to reinstate quarterback Michael Vick, who was just picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick was convicted of and imprisoned for his dog-fighting operation that led to the torture and deaths of many dogs. Vick spent 18 months in prison and had his football fortune evaporated. The Eagles are now giving him a new lease on life,
but Philadelphia may not be the City of Brotherly Love for Vick. While I believe in forgiveness and redemption, Goodell never should've reinstated Vick. But not for the reason you may think.

Vick committed a heinous crime against man's best friend. This sends the wrong message. But the real reason I don't want him back is because I literally fear for Vick's safety. Football fans will boo him like the plague. Opposing players could take cheap shots at him, even at the risk of fines and suspensions. I don't even know if his new teammates - especially the offensive linemen - will want to play with him. Vick carries the kind of baggage that nobody wants to lift. Not even the Raiders picked him up. He could've remained anonymous by playing in the Canadian Football League like Doug Flutie did. But why would Vick even want to go back to the same league knowing how notorious he is? I guess that's a riddle I can't figure out.

Speaking of riddles, here's a brain twister for you. If the New York Giants faced the New York Jets at the New Jersey Meadowlands, which team is the home team? Both teams call that place home. If you know the answer, drop me a line.

G.J. LaRouche, 25 August 2009

My take on socialized medicine!

Those who know me know that I'm very much against the socialized medicine bill, HR 3200. People can point to 'death panels', long waiting lines, or what little doctors will be compensated for their services. But it isn't the bill itself that bugs me as much as the way socialized medicine proponents try to demonize those who are against it. They're bussing in union people to disrupt authentic resistance by ordinary Americans who hate seeing the government take over every aspect of their lives. The liberals are calling protesters Nazis, racists, and tea baggers. They're also using tactics of Saul Alinsky to destroy the characters of the protesters.

Now President Barack Obama recently held a teleconference to contact religious leaders to garner support from the religious left to push for HR 3200. (Wait. I hear a peculiar sound. It's the pot calling the kettle black.) The Democrats are always accusing the Republicans of gathering support from the religious right because they've gotten support from Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell. They accuse the conservatives of not respecting a woman's right to choose. The Catholic Church is very much against abortion. Yet it was Obama who voted three times to deny health care to babies who survived a botched abortion while serving in the Illinois State Senate.
Government has no right or authority to run our health care system. Health care is a commod-ity, not a right. If Jesus came down to earth right now, he would be against HR 3200 as much as I am. He would never want tax dollars paying for abortions or death panels. He would be against higher taxes and spending on a plan that is doomed to fail. Jesus was the great physician. He cured those with demons, leprosy, blindness, and deafness. He didn't need a government bur-
eaucracy to tell him what to do. He did it himself thanks to the Father who sent him. You don't discard the sick; you help them get well! Jesus taught us to be compassionate to others. HR 3200 is the antithesis of compassion because it promotes survival of the fittest. I hope the liberals keep that in mind. Amen to that.

G.J. LaRouche, 24 August 2009

Add Sophia Elena as a friend!

Dear fellow readers,

While I was watching The O'Reilly Factor on Thursday night, I witnessed a report by Sophia Elena, who is an intern for CNN. She did a report on protesters in California, both against and
in favor of the health care reform bill (HR 3200). She noticed that those who were against socialized medicine had homemade signs, while those who were in favor of socialized medicine carried manufactured signs. Ah, there's nothing like homemade! The point Ms. Elena was trying to make was that the people who are against socialism are creating an authentic movement to take their country back, while those who relish socialism are part of a very well organized move-
ment and want the government to control every aspect of our lives.

Kudos to Sophia Elena. I went on her Web site, www.sophiaelena.com, and signed up to be a friend of hers on Facebook. Since then, we are now friends. Mission accomplished. I want you to do the same. Please look at the video of her report. And when you sign up as a friend, please tell her I sent you. Thank you.

Jesse Ventura is a nobody!

I wish people would stop trying to destroy former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The latest to pile on this particular bandwagon was Jesse Ventura, who claimed that Palin is a quitter for resigning Sunday. Ventura said that Palin would never make it as a Navy Seal or a frogman because Seals don't quit. First of all, it is shameful for any veteran to condemn a woman who supports our military as much as Sarah Palin has, especially since her oldest son is serving overseas. And second, we shouldn't call him Jesse 'The Body' Ventura. From now on, he is Jesse
'The Nobody' Ventura. For Ventura to call Palin a quitter is like the pot calling the kettle black. Let me explain.

Ventura was a Navy Seal from 1970 to 1973 and served in Vietnam. I thank him for his service, but he did eventually quit the Seals. He then went to a community college, but quit after one year. Okay, let me get this straight. He's tough enough to be a Navy Seal, but he couldn't make it through a community college? Gimme a break, Mr. Nobody! He then became the famous pro-
fessional wrestler that we now know and love for ten years, but then he also quit that gig. (To be fair, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, which explains everything.) He then became mayor of a town in Minnesota before becoming Governor of that state in 1998. Then he decided not to run for reelection in 2002. This means that he also quit as Governor just like Palin did. So who's the quitter now, Mr. Nobody?

Mr. Nobody never had to face scrutiny like Sarah Palin did. The media destroyed her while she ran for Vice President last year. They are still going strong at it, and Mr. Nobody had to pile it on. Palin has had at least 15 phony ethics charges go against her, and they were all thrown out. Those complaints cost the state of Alaska $2 million and Sarah Palin $500,000 personally. She was not capable of governing. These are burdens that Mr. Nobody never had to face. Sarah Palin may have resigned as Governor of Alaska, not she's now concentrating on other priorities. She'll be writing a book. She'll be making money on tour. She'll be taking care of her five children, her youngest with Down's Syndrome. Sarah Palin is not hiding under a rock too afraid to come out. She'll come back stronger than ever. Take that, Mr. Nobody!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WONDER WOMAN!

If you are a child of the 1970s like me, you may recall some of the beautiful women of that time. Some of the guys may have preferred skating champion Dorothy Hamill, disco diva Donna Summer, or the late Farrah Fawcett. But for my money, the sex siren of that era was Lynda Carter, the one who brought Wonder Woman to life. When I saw Diana Prince spin around and transform herself into the famous Amazon woman, I reached puberty at the ripe old age of eight. I mention this because today is Lynda Carter's birthday. I won't reveal her actual age, but let's just say she might be a member of AARP now. Jokes aside, she still looks amazing. All of us guys could go wild over Wonder Woman's outer beauty, but we need to look deeper into her inner beauty.

I want to start with her two silver bracelets and matching tiara, each donning a red star, which is significant for a special reason. Whenever an American mother sends her son off to war, she will have a flag with a blue star draped on her front door. The star signifies the son's service to our country. Likewise, the red star lets everybody know that Wonder Woman serves America because that's her uniform. She has the job of defending America just like our brave soldiers
do in fighting wars.

Then there are her knee-high red boots with those high heels. I can't figure out how she could run around in those things. Men wouldn't look good in those during combat. They look very uncomfortable and their legs are too hairy. But Wonder Wonder could pull it off because of who she is. As Nancy Sinatra once sang: 'These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. 'Cause one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.' She must've had Wonder Woman in mind. The rest of her uniform displays true American symbolism. Her star-spangled shorts assure us that she is ready to defend the land of the free and the home of the brave. Her lassoo - and, no, it's not a whip like Indiana Jones would carry - is a true American assessory in the tradition of the long-lost era of the western cowboy.

Finally, there's the piece de resistance, the low-cut and strapless corset. Wonder Woman looks beautiful in it, but let's remember the symbol that's on it. We all know the silver American eagle with its wings spread out while perched along her (I must be careful here) bosoms. The eagle is the American symbol of freedom. On the back of the one-dollar bill, the eagle carries 13 arrows in one talon and the olive branch with 13 leaves on the other. The arrows show America's willingness to fight against her enemies; the olive branch symbolizes America's ability to extend peace to her allies. Wonder Woman always stands for peace, but don't you dare provoke her. We can all admire her outer beauty. If Wonder Woman were eye candy, our corneas would be loaded with cavities. But her outer beauty is complete only when she has her inner beauty intact. They go hand-in-hand. Now that's American.

So happy birthday, Lynda Carter. You truly are a wonderful woman. If you want to see pictures of Wonder Woman, log on to http://www.comicbookhotties.com/ and scroll to Lynda Carter. Her Web
Site is http://www.lyndacartersings.com/. Her Email is atlast@lyndacartersings.com. Please wish her a very happy birthday, and tell her I sent you. Just for the record, I have her autographed picture.
And in case you're curious, Wonder Woman is secretly married to Superman. You must admit they make a cute couple. But don't tell Lois Lane. It would hurt her feelings.

Don't let the Raptors go extinct!

Yesterday on Fox News, I heard that the U.S. Senate scrapped the F-22 Raptor jet fighter program. The program costs only a few billion dollars, but was abolished thanks to Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and our own Carl Levin (D-MI), who is the powerful Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The F-22 will give America the logistical and technological advantage in warfare for the next 40 years. Opponents say we could scrap the F-22s for the less expensive F-35, even though the F-22 is much more advanced. Some people say that the F-22 costs $350 million each, although that number is in dispute because that includes the reaseach and development that went into it. Supporters like me say the F-22 is essential to defend America in this post-9/11 world.

What's most upsetting about this is that Washington is blowing up our taxes and spending on social programs like bailouts, universal health care, and the stimulus packages. We will have trillion-dollar deficits for at least another decade, but we can't spend about $2 billion a year to maintain the F-22 program? President Barack Obama promised to give us shovel-ready programs through his stimulus programs, yet the F-22 is just such a program. The Bush administration spent billions of dollars in R & D on the Raptor. Now Obama wants to abolish the program. This is just one small example of how socialists view our military. He'll get soft and chummy with the worst dictators and cut defense spending like the F-22 and missile defense, but he'll give trillions in social programs. The F-22 would replace many obsolete aircraft and make our military leaner and more effective. This will help us win wars and save money in the long run. The F-22 is the best fighter jet to date. Let's use it to our advantage. It would be a shame to see our politicians make the Raptors go extinct with the rest of the dinosaurs.

The toss that couldn't!

For those of you who didn't watch baseball's All-Star Game on Tuesday, you missed an extra special treat. We've all heard of the shot 'heard 'round the world.' Now hear of the tale of the baseball that couldn't even reach home plate. At the pre-game festivities of the mid-summer classic at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Cardinal legend Stan Musial received a rousing standing ovation as he entered the playing field courtesy of a convertible. Just when Cardinal fans cele-brated its hero, along came President Barack Obama to deflate the air out of the balloon. Here's what happened.

When Joe Buck introduced the President, our Cammander-in-Chief was greeted to an equal serving of cheers and boos. Now Cardinal fans rarely ever boo anybody. They even cheer for opposing teams, which is unheard of. (Strike one!) To make matters worse, Obama wore a Chicago White Sox jacket. He didn't even have the common sense to wear his Presidential jacket
to let people know he's the President of all the people. (Strike two!) And then there was the throw to home plate. In case you didn't see it, that's okay. Nobody saw it because Fox showed his throw to Albert Pujols from the pitcher's mound on an upward angle. This was clearly a poorly-drawn PR move on the part of the White House. Obama's throw was nothing less than wimpy.
It was a high arch that resembled the St. Louis arch. And it didn't even make it to home plate because Big Albert scooped it out of the dirt. (Strike three!)

Now let's compare this to President George W. Bush's pitch at Yankee Stadium in 2001 right after the 9/11 tragedy. And you can't get away with anything in New York City, especially in the Bronx. You'll get dragged out of the city with your tail between your legs if you upset them. But Bush was cool under pressure as he threw a perfect strike. And everybody saw it too. No decep-tive camera angles were necessary, and Bush won the crowd over. Deal with that, Barack!

I think Obama's throw, if you dare call it that, will resemble America's greatness during his first and only term in office. Our dominance in the world will reach its peak and then crash to the ground with no safety net. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.

Show some empathy for Frank Ricci.

This week begins the hearings of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Monday was pretty much saturated with Senators making mindless monologues. But now we're getting into the question-and-answer part. I'm interested most of all in the case of Frank Ricci. If you're unfa-miliar to the case, Frank Ricci is a fireman in New Haven, Connecticut. He took a standard test in his department to see if he could be promoted. He studied extra hard for the test because he suf-fers from dyslexia, a very serious learning disability. He hired a tudor a spent extra time and money for the test. Frank Ricci passed the test as did many of his fellow firemen. Yet the city threw out the results of the 20 firemen who passed. Their crime: 19 were white, one was His-panic. Not one black passed the test.

The firefighters who passed the test sued the city. The case went to the 2nd Curcuit Court of
Appeals (of which Sotomayor was a member). The 2nd Curcuit ruled in favor of the city, inclu-ding Sotomayor. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned the 2nd Curcuit's decision 5-4. Now Sonia Sotomayor is waiting to be confirmed to the highest court in the land.

Sotomayor has said that she wants to show empathy as a judge, but there's a huge difference between empathy and justice. Empathy is relating to another person's emotions and feelings. Justice is about applying the law. She thought it was alright for the city of New Haven to throw out the results of the test because she showed 'empathy' to the blacks who failed the test. Yet she showed absolutely no empathy for a man who overcame a learning disability. You would think that America of all places on earth would reward those who overcome adversity, but not Sotomayor. What was the use of all those firemen working long hours to pass a test if bureau-
crats could toss out the results? People talk about racism all the time, but what about sticking up for those with learning disabilities? Is that too much to ask? I would've hoped that Sotomayor
could've shown some empathy for Frank Ricci.

Run, Sarah, run!

The radical left is continuing to hound and destroy Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Liberals have made cheap shots at her family, mocked her appearance, and leveled countless phony charges against her. The McCain/Palin ticket lost eight months ago and the liberals still find her a threat. A lot of people are condemning Palin for stepping down without finishing her first term. They deem her a quitter who's just out for herself and wants to run for President. I totally disagree with this opinion.

Palin's resignation was not a political move at all. Had it been purely political, she would've fin-ished out the rest of her term (which ends 12/31/10) so she could run for President in 2012. Instead, this was a tactical move to prevent liberals from attacking her further. Sarah Palin has had 15 ethics charges filed against her, all without any merit. This has cost the state of Alaska, with fewer than one million people, two million dollars. The legal bills mounted against Palin her-self are up to $500,000. She has had no ability to work and govern for her state and its people. She's frustrated and has had enough. Her resignation is her way of saying 'you won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore.' You go, girl!

Now Palin will have time to write her book, pay her bills, attend to her family, and raise money for the Republican Party. I know the next election is a long way off, but I would really like to see her run. Sarah Palin for President 2012. I like the sound of that.

Sanford, you big dummy!

We've all heard of the indiscretions of that talking philandering fool, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, by now. Sanford admitted to having an affair with a woman named Maria from Argentina. Over Father's day weekend, he was MIA as he skipped town to be with his mistress in her home country. In his admission, he made a tearful apology as he kept rambling on. You can't make this stuff up.

Governor Sanford was the most ardent opponent of accepting stimulus money from Washington.
Yet he was delivering his own 'stimulus plan' to his foreign mistress. I can only imagine what Saturday Night Live will do to him. They can have Sanford playing Tony in 'West Side Story' singing 'Maria, I just had an affair with Maria.' And we all remember Evita Peron singing 'Don't cry for me, Argentina.' Sanford can sing 'don't cry for me, South Carolina.' The press was telling us that Governor Sanford could've been a viable Republican candidate for President in 2012. Now Fred G. Sanford looks like a better candidate.

Speaking of that, I just thought of another parody. We all remember 'Sanford and Son' starring
Redd Foxx. Now we can have Governor Sanford and his four sons in 'Sanford and Sons.' The Governor would be kicked out of the luxurious governor's mansion so that he and the boys (minus Mrs. Sanford) could live in a junk yard. And whenever Mr. Sanford has an argument with his sons, he'll go into a conniption fit and yell 'this is the big one, Maria! This is the big one! I'm coming to join ya in Argentina!' It would be a hoot.

Sanford, you are a big dummy.

Hope you had a good July 4th!

I hope that all of my readers, and even those who aren't, had a great July 4th. It was a beautiful weekend. Last year I made a joke that the Fourth of July was so beautiful that even Jeremiah Wright said 'God Bless America.' I hope the joke carries on in the future. Anyway, my niece and nephew just flew in from Connecticut on Saturday and will spend the month of July in Michigan.
They're 10 and 11, respectively. It's nice to see them again, but I hope they leave before the state of Michigan declares them unemployed. I spent all day Sunday and Monday with them at my Aunt and Uncle's, so I apologize for not giving you my sharp commentary on the issues of
the day. But with the news being so busy lately, I'll be anxious to get back with both barrels blasting. So stay tuned. You ain't heard nothing yet. Liberals, you've been warned, but happy
Indepenence Day anyway!

Vote no on the Macomb County Charter!

On June 17th, the Macomb County Commission voted 25-0 (with one commissioner absent) to approve the Macomb County Charter. Governor Jennifer Granholm will have 30 days from June 23rd to approve the Charter. After that, the Charter will be placed on the November 3rd ballot
seeking approval from the people. This is when I want the people of Macomb County to rise up and vote no on the Charter. There are several reasons why.

The Democrats, along with the unions and the Macomb County Chamber of Commerce, pushed for the charter last year and got it. The Democrats have three major objections. First, they want to reduce the number of County Commissioners from 26 to 13. They'll draw three districts north of Hall Road and rest south of it. This will guarantee them a majority of about 10-3 on the County Commission. Second, they want to establish a County Executive that will consolidate more power and raise taxes within the county. Third, the Democrats want to use the County Executive position as a steppingstone for higher office like Senator or Governor. And they want to put this on the ballot in November in an off-year election so they can sneak this by the voters.
Nice try, Democrats. I can see your ploy. The Democrats say that this new form of government will streamline the county government. But given their track record, you shouldn't believe that for a second.

This is the same Democratic Party that raised our millage rates nine percent in Macomb County.
They skyrocketed our taxes in Lansing. And they're practically creating a quasi-socialist state in Washington. I could chronicle everything, but that would require me writing a book and you know a lot of it, anyway. Republicans have been badly beaten in the last two elections. But so much has happened since. A huge grassroots movement has taken place with the tea parties consisting of Americans from all walks of life who just want their lives back to normal. I'm star-
ting to read the Charter now. (You can read it by visiting www.macombcountymi.gov!) One thing that the Democrats, who possess a 22-4 majority in the Charter Commission, placed in the Charter was the establishment of an Ethics Board. This board will consist of five people appoin-ted by the Executive that will enforce ethics in the county. That sounds nice and good, but why not have the County Commission enforce ethics? There's no need to appoint a separate board to enforce ethics! It's just more bureaucracy that we can't afford.

We can also not afford higher taxes and more government. Please vote no on the Macomb County Charter on November 3rd.

What is their major malfunction?

Our politicians are taking command and control of our lives to greater heights daily. Higher taxes, massive bailouts, corporate takeovers, the housing crisis, skyrocketing deficits, socialized medicine, the expansion of welfare, growing unemployment, and booming inflation are just some of the many problems that Democrats are causing to make our problems more miserable. But what is the basic difference between how liberals and conservatives view the world? The answer may unlock the key to the problem.

Liberals lack several critical personality traits essential for daily living: intelligence, common sense, decency, compassion, love, empathy, sympathy, a work ethic, concentration, and so on. But at the foundation of it all, liberals lack focus because they want to control everything. Our Founding Fathers knew that power within government had to be decentralized and limited in order for it to work. Today, President Barack Obama wants centralized and unlimited power for himself. Conservatives realize that the powers of the federal government should be concentated
in a few constitutional obligations: a strong military, a rule of law, the preservations of our rights, and other powers described in Article I, Section 8. Conservatives want to simplify as much as
possible so we can be focused. Liberals want to complicate as much as possible to stay in power.

Concentration of power and lack of focus caused the Soviet Empire to collapse under its own weight. It's amazing how determined we were to eradicate Communism abroad when faced with a nuclear threat, yet we are so naive to let Communism take over our lives gradually in our own back yard.

G.J. LaRouche, 22 June 2009

Tea partiers vs. the press (the real story)

We've all seen the negative coverage of the hundreds of tea parties held across America on April
15th. Hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans took to the streets to protest higher taxes and government largesse. A lot of media critics concluded that the press bashed these protesters because they're rallying against the Democrats in charge of our government. While that may be the case to one extent, I think something else is in play here.

Many media and entertainment people portrayed the protesters as racist, sexist rednecks. We all can recall Jeneane Garofalo saying 'this is racism straight up' on MSNBC. But I think the real reason the press came down so hard on the tea partiers is because they represented a threat to the mainstream press, not just a threat to the politicians they support. Deep down inside, those protesters hate how the press portrays them, not just how the politicians want to raise their taxes.

Think of what has happened to media outlets in recent years. Many liberal newspapers have folded their tents or have cut back because they're getting fewer subscribers. The feeble attempt
by liberals to start a talk radio enterprise went belly-up. Virtually nobody listened to Air Amer-
ica, or 'Dead Air America' as I like to call it. And the viewership in the television media is favor-ing Fox News more every day. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and CNBC are suffering from lower ratings and less revenue.

The media is worried about its own fate more than about the Democrats they favor. The Demo-
crats have a firm control of all lavels of government. They can take care of themselves while raking the taxpayers over the coals. So when you see all the people in the mainstream press complaining about all of the patriotic protesters in these tea parties on July 4th, remember that they're really worried about the future of their own existence.

The wrong host called it quits!

You've heard of the controversy between late night talk show host David Letterman and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin by now, but I need to have my say in this. On his show earlier this week, Letterman cracked a 'joke' when Palin came to New York over the weekend to attend a Yankees game and do charity work for autism. Letterman said that during the 7th inning stretch of the game, Yankee Alex Rodriguez knocked up Palin's daughter. This is not humor; this is a sign of mental illness. What made it worse was that the audience laughed at the 'joke'. Letterman is clearly a political hack making this preemptive strike on Governor Palin. He didn't crack a joke; he just cracked up. And he didn't make a joke; he is a joke!

I thought the election was over. Palin was not on the campaign trail. Letterman's 'joke' was only offensive and vile. His so-called apology was far from authentic. He was trying to defend himself by saying that he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol instead of her 14-year-old daughter Willow. I don't buy that at all. It was just a feeble attempt at weaseling his way out of the situation. Nice try, Letterboy!

It's amazing how liberals still think Palin is a threat to their agenda. Yet liberals are a greater threat to America than Palin is to the liberal establishment. Jay Leno retired after being the host of 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years. I think the wrong host called it quits. Leno was funny. Letter-
man would be better off doing stupid pet tricks. And if Sarah Palin is elected President in 2012,
Letterman would have to play dead. God help us.

G.J. LaRouche, 12 June 2009

First, do no harm!

You've obviously heard of the death of Dr. George Tiller, the notorious late-term abortion doctor, by now. Tiller was murdered in his church last Sunday in Kansas by an anti-abortion fanatic. First I just want to say that I feel very sorry for the loved ones he left behind, but Tiller himself is another matter.

While the incident is very tragic, Dr. Tiller received what he deserved. He was responsible for the deaths of up to 60,000 babies who could've survived effortlessly outside the womb. George Tiller is not a doctor in the traditional or moral sense of the word. Doctors take an oath to do no harm, but Tiller committed infanticide. I would've preferred that he would've met his fate differently, but I have no sympathy for him.

The state of Kansas had opportunities to prosecute Tiller for his practices, but the politicians never pursued the matter. Tiller ran one of only three clinics in America that performed partial-
birth abortions, and he charged up to $5,000 per procedure. It's amazing how liberals who claim to condemn obscene profits will turn a blind eye when those profits benefit the abortion industry.
It's shocking how the same liberals who claim to fight for equal rights for blacks, Hispanics, and women refuse to lift a finger for the unborn. It's depressing to hear anti-war zealots claim that our brave soldiers are baby killers while abortion doctors kill babies at will. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, 'Tiller's death, while tragic, probably saved lives.' George Tiller
was neither a healer nor a martyr; he was just a baby killer. Nuf said.

{This opinion is strictly my own and might be offensive to others! Just a warning!}

G.J. LaRouche, 5 June 2009

What big government means to us!

Big government has now encroached into every nook and cranny of our lives. With higher taxes,
booming deficits, high unemployment, huge bailouts, and the government takeover of so many industries, Americans aren't going to have a lot of money or control left when the Democrats are through with us. So what will that mean for our lives in the short or long runs? I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.

One thing that gives people comfort when times are tough is having a backup plan. Having some-thing to fall back on is essential when life knocks you down. Having candles and flashlights is handy when the power goes out. Having extra money in the bank is good if you lose your job or need a car repair. And of course children need their parents to raise them right. But when the government takes half of your earnings in the form of taxes, fees, penalties, fines, or regulations,
it's hard to fall back on anything.

When the government takes so much of your money, you may have just enough to help you live,
but nothing else to make you thrive and prosper. And don't fall for the line that government is
there to help. The government doesn't give back; it just takes. Government's only role is to be present when emergencies happen. That's why it's essential to have a military, police officers,
and firefighters. It should be there only as a last resort, and that's it. It's not meant to micro-
manage our daily living. Let the people manage their own daily living. All of this social engi-
neering will come to an end because something has to give. The Soviet Union learned that lesson the hard way after 73 years. Let's hope things change soon before it's too late.

G.J. LaRouche, 4 June 2009

Beware of the Demoncrats!

Here's a joke for all of you to ponder. What is the headquarters of the Democratic Party called? The Death Star. This may sound like a joke, but the Democrats are doing some serious damage to this great republic we call the United States of America. President Barack Obama and his minions are pushing a socialist agenda that's running to the left of the Soviet Union. If you don't
believe me, consider all that he has done in his first four months in office. A cap-and-trade envi-
ronmental plan that will cost the average American family thousands of dollars in added costs. Strict new CAFE standards on cars that will force automakers to build lighter cars that could kill people on the road. Higher taxes on cigarettes, capital gains, and everything else. No plan on reforming entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.

The government has taken over the insurance companies, the banks, the big three, and possibly
the health care industry. America's Gross Domestic Product - which measures the wealth of the nation - is estimated to decrease by about 6.1% according to Fox News. Unemployment is going up while government revenues are going down. The federal budget for FY 2009 will be $4 trillion while the deficit will grow to about $1.7 trillion. There will be $10 trillion in additional debt within the next decade.

On top of that, Obama is about to choose a far-left liberal to the U.S. Supreme Court thanks to the retirement of Justice Souter. He planned on closing Gitmo, but thankfully the Senate voted him down 90-6. (One of those dissenting votes was Carl Levin!) Obama is combining the Pro-gressive Movement, the New Deal, the Great Society, and Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto into one large blender with a generous amount of Kool-Aid to the mix. He's just waiting for us to drink it. No thanks, Mr. President. I'll stick to my tea and my grapefruit juice.

Grapefruit Juice (G.J.) LaRouche, 21 May 2009

Have a glass of G.J.

I might be a pretty smart guy, but I'm confused about something. I need to ask you a question and perhaps you can answer it for me. Why is orange juice always called OJ but grapefruit juice is never called GJ? I know it's a rhetorical question. Grapefruit juice tastes bitter. Yet ever since O.J. Simpson became a criminal back in 1994, I couldn't write down just OJ whenever I had to write down orange juice on my grocery list. I had to write the whole thing out. Maybe you've had the same problem.

I started a new tradition on Sunday. I bought a carton of grapefruit juice. I now use it for my
morning smoothie. Perhaps Americans can start a new tradition by buying grapefruit juice at the store and calling it GJ. I may not have won the Heisman Trophy, but I've never killed anybody and gotten away with it either. I think we should also stop calling orange juice by OJ because O.J. Simpson is no longer the juice; he is Kool-Aid. The juice is now concentrated and canned in an 8"x10" cell. But don't feel sad for Mr. Simpson. He has his Heisman Trophy to keep him com-pany. It occupies the top bunk.

So let's start something new in America. Have a glass of grapefruit juice (GJ) on me. Come to think of it, grapefruit juice and I are a lot alike. We both might be a little bitter, but we're good for your health. Enjoy!

It's that special time of year!

It's that special time of year again. The birds are flying back up north for the summer. The trees and flowers are blooming once more. People are grilling steaks and burgers. It's also time to break out that special something that will attract attention. It's that eight-letter word that begins with s. No, I'm not talking swimsuit season, but rather seatbelt season. This is when traffic cops with nothing else better to do (like catch dangerous criminals) will try to catch you for not wearing your seatbelt.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous for any cop armed with a gun, a badge, and a C-average in high school to have the authority to give you a $65 ticket. It's simply another poor excuse for the government to take our hard-earned money, especially in today's tough economic times. So as Memorial Day comes around, I encourage all you lovely ladies to wear your revealing bikinis and buckle up. It's the law!

A DUNCE CALLED WANDA!

Last Saturday in Washington, the White House Correspondents Dinner took place. Hundreds of egotistical bigshots from politics, the media, and Hollywood converged on this socialist powder keg. This is a time to relax, have fun, let your hair down, and slam conservatives. Such was the case with so-called comedian Wanda Sykes. Those who watched the event know which com-ments I'm talking about, but I will discuss them.

Sykes made some awful quips, not jokes, directed at Rush Limbaugh. At first, she accused Rush of being the 20th hyjacker on 9/11 but missed his flight because he was strung out on oxycontin.
To accuse Limbaugh of hyjacking an airplane is absolutely outrageous. Rush Limbaugh is as American as baseball and apple pie. If you think about it, President Barack Obama's admini-stration did a virtual reenactment of that tragic day with that foolish fly-by that scared thou-sands of New Yorkers who still remember 9/11 very vividly. Then Ms. Sykes commented on what Rush said about him wanting Obama's policies to fail. Then she said 'I hope his kidneys fail.'
I'm still waiting for the punchline on this one. It simply was not funny.

These liberals are using Saul Alinsky's rules to the letter. Alinsky, author of "Rules for Radicals,"
had as one of his most popular rules: pick it, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. From MSNBC to Wanda Sykes, from Perez Hilton to the Huffington Post, liberals are circling the wagons and going for the kill. I wish the Republican Party would counteract this behavior with an attack machine of its own. The tea parties were a great start, but it's only just a beginning. I'll start this new tradition by saying that Ms. Sykes should star in a movie called 'A Dunce Called
Wanda.' But I don't think a lot of people will waste their money on it.

G.J. LaRouche, 13 May 2009

Why America has the best military in the world.

We all know that America has the best military in the world, but people may not know why. After doing extensive thought and research on the subject, I finally discovered the answer. It may not be what you think it is, but you'll agree with me once you hear it. It's not because of high technology, although our advancements give our soldiers a clear logistical advantage. It's not because we've had the greatest leaders, although superior leadership has given us the edge. It's not because military people believe in God and country, although you'll never find a group of people more patriotic than those in the American military. The real reason why America has the best military in the world is because the military is not unionized. The United States military is 100% union-free, and it should stay like that.

Think about this for a minute. Have the Marines ever gone on strike? No. The Marines are first to strike, not go on strike. Have sailors ever picketed on aircraft carriers? No. They're too busy protecting this country. Have the Air Force or Army ever threatened to attack this country if they didn't get everything that they demanded from their unions? No. These people love their country too much to do that. Can raw recruits demand better treatment from their union representatives when their drill instructors become too demanding? No. Recruits must be molded to become warriors.

The military brings out the best in people. The military demands a standard of excellence that you don't witness in other endeavors. Military people do their duty because they love America,
not because of money or benefits. Our military has done an outstanding job for 233 years. Our military has freed hundreds of millions of oppressed people all over the world. Our reputation is outstanding. Now compare that to government entities that are dominated by unions. Our edu-
cation system can't educate children, yet the unions demand more money for sloppy perfor-
mance. Our postal workers, municipal workers, welfare employees, and many others in govern-
ment do a horrible job (mostly because of the system), but their unions demand more money, more protection, and lower expectations. In these tough economic times, the military is facing deep budget cuts while all of the other government departments are enjoying record growth
because our politicians are promoting a tax-and-spend socialist agenda.

I would love for the rest of our government to follow the military's example by dropping union
representation. That way our public servants would follow a better example of actually serving the public. And I would love to imagine what would happen if some union thug approached Gen-
eral George Patton and demanded that his 3rd Army be unionized before facing the Germans.
Patton would smack that union thug in the head and run him over with a Sherman tank. Now that would be a sight to see. Even Dwight Eisenhower would enjoy that. Semper fi!

County Board Increases Taxes!

On the campaign trail, Senator Barack Obama promised to cut taxes for 95% of all Americans. Now that he's President, he has obviously forgotten about all of the citizens in Macomb County because the Board of Commissioners voted to increase the millage rate by 9 per cent. I went to the board meeting along with many others who voiced their opinions one way or another. I wasn't present for the final vote, but it is sad that the Democrats are raising taxes, skyrocketing deficits, and printing money that we do not have.

I voiced my own opinion in front of the board on the issue. The first thing I mentioned was that while running for the Charter Commission last year, I wrote on my advertisement that 'I do not fear that America will become a socialist country. I fear America already is a socialist country.' I then gave a statistic that America's Gross Domestic Product (the GDP, or the size of the country's economy) shrunk by 6.1%, meaning that $1 trillion of our wealth has evaporated. I talked about how Washington and Lansing are ruining this economy with higher taxes and runaway spending, with our unemployment rates reaching levels that we haven't seen in decades. I did the best I could, but my effort, along with those of many others, came up short. The commission voted for the millage increase by a 16-10 margin. All six Republicans along with four Democrats voted against the tax hike, but 16 Democrats voted for it. It's a shame.

In these tough economic times, the last thing we can afford to do is increase taxes. All that will do is discourage the creation of jobs and wealth for all Americans. On Saturday, former NFL quar-
terback and conservative Republican Jack Kemp died of cancer. During his great political career,
Kemp was a Congressman, a former Vice Presidential running mate with Bob Dole, and a staunch
advocate of President Ronald Reagan's tax cuts in the 1980s. Those tax cuts created incredible
economic growth, increased revenues to government, and made the rich pay a greater percen-
tage of the tax burden. Although it's been only three days since Kemp's passing, he's already
turning over in his grave as the Democrats have ruined this economy. We need to stop the bleeding now before it's too late.

In response to the swine flu!

The swine flu has really caused a panic around the world. Hundreds of cases have been confirmed with many people dying. I mentioned before how the government reacted to the swine flu back in 1976. But I think I can help in this situation.

I work for a nutrition supplement company that produces solid antioxidant products. While I can't mention the name of the company or make medical claims due to various regulations, I can say that these products could help. If you are concerned about the swine flu, or if you know others who are, please Email me and I'll tell you about the company and what it can do. Thank you.
