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.

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.

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.
