There has been much chatter on the news and on the blogs about President Obama’s decision to send 9/11 mastermind and co-conspirators to New York City for trial. Attorney General, Eric Holder, announced and defended this decision by pretending to take the high road – offering to take the heat this abysmal decision would inevitably generate. Taking the Attorney General at face value, one might think he was noble and standing up for his perverted version of justice. After all, doesn’t everyone deserve the privileges United States citizens enjoy – as if it was some kind of God-given right? Shouldn’t these war criminals that admittedly plotted the murders of innocent victims be afforded protection under our Constitution? Eric Holder and our President seem more concerned with the rights of these terrorists than the rights of the victims and their families. To add insult to injury, this farce parading itself as justice will unravel just blocks from the World Trade Towers massacre. And if history repeats itself, we can expect a swell of new terrorist recruits who are inspired and motivated by the publicity and promulgation of terror ideologies these trials will display.
Citizens and those who were in leadership in New York City at the time of the massacre, along with surviving victims and the families of those who did not survive, all voiced their protest to this travesty. However, the administration turned deaf ears to their protests – just like they turned deaf ears to the Tea Party protests. But should we expect something different from a President who bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia?
As if all this isn’t bad enough, it is hard to dismiss the possibility that the Obama administration is more interested in putting the Bush administration on trial than affording justice to these self-professed war criminals. It is the only thing these dastardly libs have to gain. We all should realize at this point that our dear President is intolerant of any criticism. Remember Joe the Plumber - just an average citizen who spoke out against the principles of Marxism? Joe was persecuted mercilessly by Obama lackeys. Coincidentally, President Bush came out of retirement this week and gently spoke out against the Obama financial policies. And coincidentally, scarcely a day or two later, the current administration announces that these trials will be held. I don’t know about you, but I don’t much believe in coincidences. For the last year or two, those in the spotlight have been bending over backwards to give the President the benefit of every doubt. And like many who bend over backwards, they have gotten a swift kick in the posterior. What kind of president disregards the wishes and well being of his citizens in favor of those who assaulted his country in a most egregious manner? Certainly not one that is a patriot.Justice or revenge? You decide.

Taxation Without Representation
Taxation without representation isn’t a new phrase. It’s one we usually associate with the Revolutionary War. However, in 2009, it may be time to start shouting this protest phrase once again. As is the case with the recent Tea Parties, which derive their name from our founders’ protest against high tea taxes levied by England, some things old seem to be new again. And – as was the case prior to the Revolutionary War - the people living on this continent in this country are once again being taxed without proper representation. This time, however, is more insidious since we all erroneously believe that we do have representation in the form of elected officials. But do we?
Anyone who has read a recent newspaper, watched a news show, or listened to talk radio knows that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is a Democrat. As Speaker of the House, Ms. Pelosi enjoys a certain amount of power – power that she isn’t afraid to use and power that she most certainly does abuse. Among her most recent abuses is her recently discovered “lock out” tool. Ms. Pelosi has discovered that she can (and does) lock out Republican congressmen and women from deliberation over the highly controversial Healthcare Bill. In the 5th District in NJ, as in other districts around the country, our congressman is a Republican, which means the 5th District of NJ was not represented during the Healthcare deliberations. Ms. Pelosi also tried to lock out protesters from entering the Capital Building last week as 30,000 citizens gathered to speak to their representatives. Some persisted and managed to access the Capital building in spite of Ms. Pelosi’s efforts. But nonetheless, Ms. Pelosi did her best to separate citizens from their representatives.
If Ms. Pelosi denies us or our representatives from participating in our government, then those living in those districts that have been deprived of representation, are paying federal taxes without having representation. This is nothing other than taxation without representation and this type of elitist attitude by those in government is what inspired the Revolutionary War. Perhaps it’s time for another revolution or perhaps we can still snatch what is left of our Constitutional rights from the hands of these despicable ideologues who have high jacked our system of government and totally disregarded the Constitution that they swore to uphold and protect. It seems to me that we have a few options left: demand Nancy Pelosi be removed as Speaker of the House or stop paying federal taxes until our representation is restored. While these actions may seem radical, they pale compared to the radical actions exercised in our Capital building today.

Charity Begins at Home - but Not for BO
Growing up we often heard the phrase, do as I say not as I do. We may giggle when we hear these words, but it is not a laughing matter. People who profess one ideology while practing another are nothing more than self-delusional hypocrites. RoseAnn 1:1 states: "Hypocrites you will have with you always." It is an unfortunate part of human nature, but it is even more objectionable when men and women who are supposed to represent the best of who we are and who we aspire to be, turn out to be hypocrites extraordinaire. These are people who make sweeping grandiose statements that are usually not accompanied by their actions. Chief among these despicable elitists is our 44th President.
Recently a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me the statistics about our President's charitable giving history. I think you will find it interesting. In an excerpt from a Conservapedia article, he writes:
In August of 2008 the NY Daily News reported the following concerning Obama and his
half- brother, George Obama:
"Barack Obama wants to live int he White House - but his youngest half-brother lives
in the poorhouse.
George Obama, one of the candidate's seven living half-siblings, lives on pennies a
month in a hut in Africa, the Italian edition of Vanity Fair revealed.
'He (George Obama) lives on the outskirts of Nairobi in a 65-square-foot shack...
I live here on less than a dollar a month,' he (George Obama) said."
Asked by Harry Smith from CBS about Obama leaving the campaign to visit his ailing grand-
mother, Obama replied, 'Yeah, well the -- I think most people understand that if you're not
caring for your family, then you're probably not the kind of person who's going to be caring
for other people."
I guess either BO doesn't consider his half-brother George family, or this is just another instance of BO misspeaking (the rest of us call it "lying").
In his Conservapedia article, my friend reported that BO gave less than 2% in the years 2000-2004, even though he earned $250,000 per year. In the years 2000-2002, BO gave less than 1% of his income to charity (some of the same charities he will compel us to contribute to through taxes - even those we do not morally agree with). Since becoming a national figure, that amount has jumped to 6%. Below are the percentages my friend reported BO contributed to charities while he was earning $250,000/year:

- 2003: 1.4%
- 2004: 1.2%
- 2005: 4.7%
- 2006: 6.1%
The American people are the most generous people in the world - but the same rules don't seem to apply to the elitists who supposedly represent us in government. The argument of "give your money to the poor or needy" isn't a new one. Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Jesus, was an apostle who controlled the money box. He made a similar argument when Mary used expensive perfume to wash the feet of Jesus before He was crucified. Judas said that the perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor. The Bible tells us that he had no intention of giving the money to the poor but wanted to keep it for himself.
It seems there is nothing new under the sun. As I said at the beginning of this blog, hypocrites you will have with you always. BO may be many things, but as far as I am concerned, he certainly qualifies as a hypocrite - at least when I'm feeling charitable that is.

Nationalized Healthcare
Bottom line, nationalizing healthcare is Unconstitutional under the equal protection clause, the 9th,10th, 11th and 14th Amendments.
Far from debating page by page, as the congressmen get up to sell this snake oil, the people should be clear and firm in their demand that the whole nationalization plan be tossed.
And this should be but the first volley.
Demand a repeal of the laws that have nationalized banks, auto manufactures, stimulous, etc. on the same grounds. From there, the repeal of each unconsitutional legislation, a process which Congress has escalated since the signing of NAFTA on the same grounds.
DEMAND Congress to DEMAND consitutional oversight/balance of power. These Czars answerable ONLY to the president are unconsitutional and we MUST get them removed.
Not ask, DEMAND. Pelosi, Napolitano, Obama ARE right. From their POV we ARE terrorists, we have the doomsday weapon that terrorizes them and against which they are defenseless.
That weapon is the Consitution of the USA. USE IT! WE MUST protect the Consitution that protects us.

My Cross Isn't Broken
By now you must have seen the clip of Nancy Pelosi saying tea party patriots go to town hall meetings sporting swastikas. As a committed Christian, I strongly object to that - the cross I carry isn't twisted. However, Ms. Pelosi's view of the world is.
Aren't you getting tired of all the name calling and insults? I guess that's easier for them to do than defend their politics. Nowadays the left can even find something to criticize if you dress with a certain amount of class. If so, you are called a Brooks Brothers Protester - and this from elitists - the very same people who praise Michelle Obama's extravagant wardrobe choices, including her $6,000 clutch purse she wore in Russia. These are the same people who criticized the automaker CEO's for traveling to Washington to ask for a bailout, but they travel the world in private jets, some of which have been paid for with your taxpayers.
Let's face it, nothing we can do or say will make a favorable impact on these people. Their logic is non-existent and they see the world through their elitist eyes, which entitles them to the very same things they say you should be sacrificing. This is why they exempt themselves from the Health Care plan they are attempting to force upon us. And it is why men like Al Gore can travel the world telling everyone how they need to conserve energy and reduce their carbon footprint when he consumes more than the average person uses in a month...but he's Al Gore and he's entitled - but us peons - we're not! Can't help but think about Marie Antoinette saying to the starving masses as she feasted with her fellow elitists, "Let them eat cake." Too bad Al Gore and his cronies don't remember what happened to Marie Antoinette!
Histories lessons can be provactive. Remember the Roman Empire and their elitist Senators. Many believe these legislators were so out of touch that it was the main reason Rome fell. Al Gore, Nanci Pelosi, and the rest of the powers that be can't seem to learn or refuse to learn their lessons from history. This means the future of our country rests on the shoulders of We the People and our resolve to restore the principles of government that secured our liberties and provided an environment conducive to prosperity.
We are fighting for the future of our country and all the libs can seem to do is call us names and mock every honest and sincere argument we raise. But our day is fast approaching - we call it "Election Day" and it's the day we remind them who really owns this country!

A Few Things You Might Not Know About Health Care
Our elected officials might not be reading the proposed Health Care Bill, but many of our citizens have - and what they're finding will make your hair stand on end. Here's a few of the more obscure and little discussed points:
- You may know that aliens - illegal or otherwise - will be entitlted to the same benefits Joe Citizen is entitled to, but did you know that aliens will not be required to pay any taxes?For them free health care is truly free - but not for our own citizens.
- Employers will be required to supply part time employees and their families health care insurance. Wonder what that will do for the unemployment rate?
- The government will require you have a national ID that records your health history.
- The government will have full electronic access to all your finances via your bank accounts and any other means you may have. They will control what you buy and sell.
- Doctors investments and property will be subject to approval.
- Not put quite this way, but in essence your life will be pro-rated (like tires) and the amount of services you receive will be based on the number of expected years you have left.
In the words of Jerry Sienfeld - Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
Looking at his deeds and not his words...
Health Care? Perhaps if you have Frankenstian tendencies. But what would you expect from a President whose Job Stimulus program increases unemployment, and whose non-involvement in the auto industry means replacing their CEO and having his staff call that CEO every day?
If this President tells you there will be peace in the city - run for the hills.!
This is a man whose Science Czar wrote a book supporting population control and advocating taking babies from teenage mothers. Our President is a man that voted that babies born as a result of a botched abortion should be left somewhere to die - denied medical attention. He is a man that purports to have a heart to take care of the poor and indigent but has an aunt living in public housing in Boston.
So, is this a man you would trust with your health and the health of your family?
