Freedom Works (the self proclaimed representative of the Tea Parties) sent out an email on Feb 1, 2011 over the signature of Dick Army that states: “Our latest intel indicates that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to offer a Repeal Obamacare amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill today!”

All the media are covering it …including FOX … as if this is some big deal. And that is exactly what Obama wants them to do.

If Harry Reid does not want the repeal vote to go to the floor of the Senate, then the Republicans cannot force it. So if it does go to the floor, then it must be because Harry and Obama want it to happen.

Look at the current situation.

The Tea Parties are beating the snot out of Democrats.

All the exemptions to Obamacare are being exposed.

All the imbedded taxes in Obamacare are being exposed.

The law suits that challenge Obamacare are headed to the Supreme Court which will make a decision in 2012 just before the elections.

OK folks, this is my prediction: Harry will act like he cannot stop the repeal vote in the Senate and the Senate will approve the repeal. Then Obama will complain, but will eventually sign the repeal. No veto.

What makes me say this? Because the fix is in!

And guys like Mitch McConnell are part of it. The media is part of it.

Already the media is showing clips of Obama from 2008 where Obama claims that he did not want mandatory insurance. Obama will now claim that he never wanted mandatory insurance, but that was the only way to get the legislation passed.

This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing Obama and Democrats. It will take the spotlight off the exemptions and the added taxes. It allows Obama to claim that things have changed from 2008 and that he is just doing the will of the people by signing the repeal. His signature on the repeal will make him appear as a centrist. And most of all … it deals a major blow to the Tea Parties.

Without Obamacare, the Tea Parties will lack a central issue to demonize Obama and Democrats in 2012. Then if Obama actually cuts government spending and deficits, the wind will be taken totally out of the Tea Parties’ sails.

The old line guys like McConnell don’t want the Tea Parties. They can’t control them (remember that McConnell wanted to continue earmarks until the Tea Parties pressured him). So of course McConnell is cooperating with Reid and Obama to use methods for repeal that make it look like Reid cannot not stop it. And Dick Army and Freedom Works are playing right into it with “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to offer a Repeal Obamacare amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill today!” … which makes it sound like McConnell is doing something that Reid cannot stop.

These Republicans are cooperating with Obama by repealing Obamacare. No Supreme Court ruling. No stipulation by the Supreme Court about the limitations of Congress. No embarrassment for Democrats. No issue for the Tea Parties in 2012.

Obama will be able to claim that he tried to help the disadvantaged with healthcare reform as he challenges the

Republicans to come up with something better. Republicans will be able to claim that they got Obamacare repealed.

Republicans and Democrats all get things that they want … and most of all; they all get rid of the Tea Parties.
Without this going to the Supreme Court, Americans are the ones who lose. How will we the people find out the limitations of Congress?

What a bunch of con men!

Open Letter to:
Congressman John Boehner
Congressman Eric Cantor
Congressman Frank Wolf
US House of Representatives
Washington, DC January 24, 2011

Dear Sirs,

We the people elected you Republicans to be the controlling party of the US House of Representatives last Nov, 2010 to hold the Democrats and Barack Hussein Obama accountable. The Democrat controlled House of 2008 did not vet Mr. Obama. After promising to be “transparent,” Obama was allowed by the Democrat House of 2008 to not be “transparent” about being a “natural born” citizen. The 2008 House did not vet him.

Your most current comments about this are very disturbing. Are you going to vet him? The president of the United States must be a natural born citizen to qualify to be president. The ways to lose natural born citizenship status are detailed in 8 USC 1481. One way is becoming naturalized in another country.

Are you going to inspect his long form birth certificate, his college applications, and his previous passports? Do any of those documents show him to have a dual or foreign citizenship that would have caused him to have lost his natural born status? Almost 2/3 of America think that there is something wrong with his citizenship. So are you going to vet him to put this issue to rest?

You took an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So are you going to do that concerning the “natural born” status of Barack Hussein Obama (Barry Soetoro)?

Please read the last line of the Declaration of Independence. It states:

with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Are you willing to risk your lives, your fortunes, and your sacred honor to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? Are you willing to risk your families?

This letter is being copied to America so that everyone will be watching you to see if you walk the walk or just talk the talk?

Lindsay Graham appeared on TV the other day and suggested that Social Security benefits need to be cut to keep it solvent. 

Once again, Lindsay is wrong.  

Government spent the money from Social Security on stuff other than the retirements of those who contributed. Now the Social Security savings are gone. The government spent our savings when it used Social Security for other projects.

The federal government used a little noticed line in the legislation to use the Social Security Trust Fund for things other than payments to the contributor.  The government raided the fund.  LBJ and the Democrat Congress of the 1960s were the first to raid it.  They used it to finance the Great Society since most other funds were being used by LBJ for his Viet Nam War.  That act of theft from Social Security funds has been duplicated by almost every administration since LBJ.  

The Social Security System morphed from an annuity program to a ponzi scheme where the current generation of workers pays the retirement benefits for the current retirees.  And since the baby boomers did not have enough children to replace themselves, the decreasing number of workers per retirees must pay more into the fund or it will operate at a deficit.  Therefore, the Social Security Trust fund is close to insolvent today and the solution proposed by the government is too cut back on the benefits to retirees.  The Social Security program became just another tax on people to finance other government programs.

1.  Politicians and economists are discussing how benefits need to be cut back for retirees in order to keep Social Security solvent.  That is not true.  Look at the wages for government employees and the number of them.  Since government employees make 30% more than their counterparts in the private sector, their compensations can be cut to more than offset the deficits in the Social Security trust.  The Federal Government stole the money from our pensions in the Social Security Trust and used it for political projects, so the federal government needs to figure out how to pay it back.  And one way is to cut government employee compensation. A five percent cut to all government workers would provide the $30 Billion per year to keep Social Security solvent with no reductions to benefits to retirees.
2. All legislation, especially legislation like Obamacare, must be inspected closely to make sure that there are no imbedded taxes and imbedded rules that will hurt America in the future like how politicians used the Social Security funds.

Have you been tuned into the TV lately?  All the mainstream media are discussing how Obama’s poll numbers are increasing.  Those are mainstream media polls, that is. 

As of today, the non-media polls like Rasmussen still show that those who strongly disapprove of Obama are at 37% while those who strongly approve are at 27%.  And “Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance,” while “Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.”

Once again, the mainstream media is selling Obama rather than reporting.  Also note that “somewhat approve” is not a ringing endorsement of his performance.  “Somewhat approve” does not mean “approve,” but the media is trying to make us think it does. 

The mainstream media is trying to put lipstick on the Obama pig.  They are creating a self fulfilling prophesy of increasing poll numbers. 

The Pew Research Center studied the stories carried on the news of the three most prominent cable stations during the 2008 election.  The study did not include editorial oriented shows like Olbermann, Larry King, and Hannity.  It focused on just the news shows.  This is how these three stations fared at reporting negative news about the two presidential candidates. 

                                                Obama                                   McCain

CNN                                       30%                                        61%

MSNBC                                 14%                                       73%

FOX                                        40%                                        40%

MSNBC and CNN created a self fulfilling prophesy. 

The media is now trying to make the case that Obama can win in 2012 like how Bill Clinton won in 1996 after suffering a dramatic defeat in 1994 and after raising taxes.    

The facts about 1996 do not bear out what the pundits are trying to sell us. 

In 1992, Clinton won with only 43% of the vote because Ross Perot split the Republican vote.  Clinton received 44,909,889 votes.  The combination of Perot and Bush received 57% or 58,846,812.   In 1996, votes for Clinton only increased by 700,000 to 45,628,667.  Once again, Perot split the Republican vote.  Dole was a boring candidate, but even with Dole, the combination of Perot and Dole still received more votes than Clinton.  If the Republican vote had not been split in 1992 and/or 1996 by Perot, Clinton would have lost both elections. 

Compare Reagan to Clinton.  Votes for Reagan actually increased from 43,267,489 in 1980 by 7 million votes (10 times more than the increase for Clinton in 1996) to 53,428,357 in 1984.  

Why did Reagan do so well and Clinton did not?  Clinton increased taxes and Reagan decreased taxes.  Clinton tried to ram universal healthcare down the throats of America and Reagan decreased government programs.  Clinton decreased the military percent of spending and Reagan increased it.  Clinton gave America Able Danger and Reagan called the USSR an evil empire. 
Look at Carter in 1980 as a more appropriate forecast for Obama rather than Clinton in 1996.  Carter lost votes from 40,827,394 in 1976 to 34,964,583 in 1980 while the Republicans increased by almost 6 million votes.  If the same 6 million votes switch from Obama to Republicans in 2012, then Obama will lose the election at 52% to 47%.

So how can Obama be defeated?

1.  By getting out the truth.  The mainstream media will continue to bias its reporting so conservatives need to use alternate methods like World Net Daily and Atlah to get out the truth.  And conservatives need to scream discontent about Obama on every occasion on the mainstream media.  Republicans who compromise will hurt the conservative movement. 
2. By selecting a good candidate for President like Pence, Pawlenty, Petraeus, Christie,   Daniels, or even Cuccinelli (but not another Bob Dole) who is interesting, articulate, and has experience to fix the economy and cut government spending … and then select Marco Rubio as the Vice President candidate.
3. By pointing out how Obama has not brought transparency to government.  Where are his long form birth certificate, his passports, and his college documents? 
4. By pointing out how Obama has divided America by race, gender, and class and continually lied to America.  Don’t let America forget how Gates, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Alinsky, and Soros have influenced Obama.  This is the most corrupt government in the history of the USA.
5. By fighting Obamacare in Congress and in the courts, fighting the czars, fighting all the increased taxes that are seen and are hidden.  And by making everything about Obama visible to America. 
6. By making any and all bailouts and/or earmarks visible to all Americans and stopping them. 
7. By providing good ideas on how to increase demand for American made products and to decrease foreign oil purchases by drilling for more oil and building more nuclear sites.
8. By pointing out how the USA is still in Iraq and Gitmo and how the USA is losing soldiers in Afghanistan at a rate that is much higher than it was in Iraq. 
9. By continually discussing how Obama spent $1.75 trillion with no results.
10. By being active.  Join your local Tea Party.  Attend national rallies in DC. Display bumper stickers and posters. Attend town hall meetings.  Be vocal.
11. By staying unified in defeating Obama.  No Ross Perots.  No independent candidates who split the conservative vote.        
12. And by forcing Democrats to justify how any and all of their actions are constitutional.

Conservatives need to challenge Obama about everything and in every way to beat him.  The media will not do it.

The polls that are coming out about Obama from the media like CNN, Gallup/USA Today, and AP are bogus. Once again, the media are trying to influence public opinion rather than report on it. To somewhat approve of Obama’s performance is not an endorsement. Look closely at how the media is asking the question. The question should be “do you approve or disapprove?”

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see trends).

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

Most voters continue to favor repeal of the health care law passed by Congress last year.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man.  He had his flaws, especially with women, but he also had a dream for mankind.  He saw in his dream all men and women of all colors walking hand in hand as equals.  Not as financial equals or intellectual equals, but as humanitarian equals.  Many of us walked in marches across America during the 1960s to support him and then mourned him when he was assassinated.
 
Bobby Kennedy was a great man.  He had his flaws, especially with women, but he also had a dream for mankind that was a mirror of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Bobby put his dream for America into action in his quest to become president in 1968.  Many of us campaigned to help him get elected and then mourned him when he was assassinated.
 
These two great men of the 1960s were both assassinated because of their dreams.  
 
In the United States, there are eleven holidays recognized by our federal government.  These have changed since my days as a child in Detroit.  The holidays for the birthdays of George Washington and Abe Lincoln along with the holiday for Good Friday during the Easter weekend have been eliminated.  Instead, the Federal Government celebrates President’s Day, which lumps all the presidents together, and ignores Easter. 
 
This is the current list of federal holidays:
 
New Years Day
President’s Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Memorial Day
Labor Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veteran’s Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas
 
A couple of things jump out from this list. 
 
First, holidays fall into three categories.  Holidays either celebrate an event, or a group of people, or an individual.
 
Next, there are only three holidays that recognize individuals.  There is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day for Martin Luther King, Jr., Columbus Day for Christopher Columbus, and Christmas for Jesus Christ.  Of those, only one holiday is dedicated to recognize an individual who was an American citizen.  That holiday for an American citizen is Martin Luther King Day.  Columbus and Christ were not American citizens.
 
So why are there no federal holidays for any other American citizens?  How about a Ben Franklin Day?  Or a Bobby Kennedy Day?  Or a César Chávez day?  Are there no other citizens in the history of the United States who are worthy of having a dedicated holiday other than Martin Luther King, Jr.?
 
Or better yet, if there are no holidays to honor any other American citizens, then why do we celebrate a holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr.?
 
We celebrate a holiday for Martin Luther King as patronizing for Black votes and as political correctness.  It is reverse discrimination.  It is an action of tyrants.  Martin Luther King Jr. has been exploited by politicians and tyrants for their personal political agendas in the name of social justice – . 
 
Martin Luther King, Jr. would never have tolerated this reverse discrimination, this inequality. 
 
Tyrants have been using political correctness for eternity to cause the masses to conform.  Sensitivity is one thing.  Decent human beings should respect one another.  Suffocation is another.  And tyrants in the United States are no exception.  Suffocation of dissent towards these “politically correct” actions is another way the “in crowd” oppresses the mind of man. 
 
Martin Luther King would have demanded that we either add holidays for other American citizens or eliminate the one for him.  

Undeniably, political rhetoric is hotter than it has been since the 1960s and ought to be dialed down. But Barack Obama, talking tough in 2008 about how he would deal with Republican attacks, himself said, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. … Folks in Philly like a good brawl.”

Because so many people have asked me “why is America in so much trouble?” and “Is America dying?…this is from my book, Save America Now:

At our MBA program at the University of Arizona in 1970, Dr. Navin would spend much time discussing the stages of a business.  Dr.Navin took the U of A program and moved it from a B-level program to a top-notched program.  As a Harvard disciple, Dr. Navin believed in the case study approach.  We used the following model to analyze the maturity level of the companies in each case that we studied.

Dr. Navin explained that a business emphasized different aspects as it matured.

·        Research and development

·        Operations (manufacturing and distribution)

·        Sales

·        Marketing

·        Finance

·        Legal

Dr. Navin would tell us that if you could figure out the emphasis of a company, then you could figure out its stage in its business life/cycle.

·        Research and Development (R&D) = Infancy

·        Operations (manufacturing and distribution) = Adolescence

·        Sales = Young adult

·        Marketing = Mature adult

·        Finance = Elderly

·        Legal = Dying

… Dr. Navin then went on to say that it was the obligation of the business executives to the business owners (stock holders) to maintain a balance of maturity in a business or to shut it down at the time that it paid the most to the owners since they took the risk to invest in the business.  That stage to shut it down was typically when most emphasis of the business was on financial issues … when it was elderly and not yet dying.

And how does a business maintain such a balance?  By having products in each stage of the cycle ready to replace the others as each continues through the cycle.  If a company is stuck in the legal cycle, then get out.  Sell everything.  The business is about to die … 

The United States just elected (in 2008) the first president with no operational leadership experience.  All forty-three previously elected presidents (yes, all forty-three) had operational leadership experience before being elected president.  Some were military officers like JFK, Grant, Eisenhower, and even Lincoln.  Some were government executives like Jefferson, Carter, FDR, and Clinton.  Some lacked international experience and some lacked legislative experience, but none lacked operational leadership experience until Obama. He is a lawyer who lacks any operational executive experience.

So where does that suggest the United States is in its maturity/life cycle?

Let’s look at the Obama platform during the 2008 election.  Redistributing wealth.  Healthcare insurance – not healthcare as a product, but healthcare insurance.  Redirecting funds from Iraq to service projects.  Appointing liberal judges.  Changing laws about union voting rules, gun ownership and the “Fairness doctrine.”  What stages are these?

If the United States were a company, what would its stage of emphasis be?  How much would you invest in its stock?   How much would you invest in its future?

…  Since the major influence to our government and many large corporations is the legal influence, then the maturity model would signal that America is about to die.

Now let me add this note:  Every solution since Democrats took control of Congress in 2007 to our economic problems has been either legal or financial (bail outs, printing money, more taxes, stimulus packages, financial reforms, healthcare “insurance,” etc.)   The Democrat controlled Congress increased the deficit from $160 Billion at the end of 2006 to almost $2 Trillion.  And more than 80% of Democrats in Congress are lawyers.  By primarily using legal and financial solutions, the Democrat controlled Congress signaled that the USA is dying.

But something happened in 2010. 33 of the newly elected Republican Congressmen of 2010 are business executives.  Maybe that is a ray of hope. Clearly, to save America, we need to remove the lawyers from running industry and the government.  Lawyers are a staff function.  They support the line functions.  We Americans made a mistake by placing lawyers in executive operational positions. There is time to correct this. We need to remove all the lawyers from line functions and replace them with operational executives.
