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.

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.

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.
