Barack Hussein Obama Wants to Quit

Barrack Hussein Obama wants to quit on the war on terror. Barack Hussein Obama has wanted to quit since he has started to run for the US Senate. Barack Hussein Obama wants all of the troops to be out of Iraq by March of 2008. Don’t know why Barack Hussein Obama wants to quit on the war on terror.

Is Barack Hussein Obama touting quitting on the troops for political expediency, ergo going after the liberal political base? This left wing liberal base of the Democratic Party is the base which provides significant campaign contributions. This money is needed for any chance to run for the Presidency.

Is it that Barack Hussein Obama hates the military like the Bill and Hillary Clinton? Bill and Hillary hated the military and had a mass exit from the military. Under Bill and Hillary, re-enlistment in the military was a rarity. If Barack Hussein Obama was to be elected to the Presidency are we to expect to have our military subjected to the demoralization that it experienced under the Clinton’s again?

Is it that Barack Hussein Obama hates the United States of America? Yes, Hussein is his actual middle name.

The demand that the United States gets out of Iraq, is a form of hating our troops and the United States of America. How can Barack Hussein Obama be the President and Commander in Chief if he hates/has no respect for the troops? Barack Hussein Obama demanding that we get out of Iraq by March of 2008 is quitting on the troops. Demanding that we get the troops out of Iraq is putting America at risk for further significant attacks. By Barack Hussein Obama demanding that the United States get the troops out of Iraq, is demoralizing for the troops. The demoralization of the troops is a contradiction because these are the men and women that are the ones that fight for everyone’s right for freedom and freedom of speech.

So which is worse? Barack Hussein Obama, that wants to quit on our troops, or Hillary Clinton that is known to hate the military too.

Why Michigan Has the Second Highest Unemployment in the Country

Michigan has the second highest unemployment in the country because; every time our Governor speaks she can not help herself about talking about tax increases. The reality is that you can not tax a state in to prosperity.

The state congress finally pushed through getting rid of the single business tax to the point that the governor could no longer veto it no more. Now the governor says she needs to replace the tax. Michigan needed to get rid of the single business tax because it was blocking new jobs coming to the state. Although now that we have gotten rid of the single business tax, now we have our governor out there stating that she needs to raise taxes.

Michigan has high unemployment for several reasons from a manufacturing stand point:

• High taxes
• High labor wage rates
• Higher likely hood of getting a combative union than other parts of the country.
• Mandatory health insurance requirements that drive up the health care cost to labor.
• Less flexibility by the state and local governments on tax abatements.
• Track record of suing over tax abatements if targets are not met.
  

Although governor Granholm has succeeded in acquiring engineering and high tech jobs such as the Toyota Engineering Center and Google. That’s neat; there will be some trickle down jobs from those. Although, had Michigan aggressively went after the assembly plant as neighboring Ohio and Indiana did we would have had an assembly plant.

What is the big deal about an assembly plant? The transplant automotive manufactures make it requirement of their suppliers to have their plants with in a half hour of their plant. Instead of only adding 3000 to 5000 jobs, you are talking about doubling those numbers of jobs. On top of all of the increased jobs directly associated to the plant, there is typically a construction boom just for the housing alone. The failure was ignorance.

How do we make Michigan great again? Shut up about tax increases. The Engineering jobs are neat, but it does nothing to replace the thousands of blue collar jobs lost. The elimination of the Single Business Tax was needed to give Michigan a fighting chance. Every time there is talk of creating a new tax to replace the single business tax, who in their right mind would want to put a plant where they will be hit with another new tax. How do you negotiate tax abatement for a tax that is not there yet?

You can not tax your town/community/state back into prosperity. You have to believe in the theory that when you cut taxes, the increased prosperity due to the tax cut will generate more taxes than you received before. The greatest President of the 20th century Ronald Reagan proved this and so did President George W. Bush.

My choice of picture of the year

This is something you will never see in the news. Here's a tough, but heartwarming story and a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq . His wife, Mindy, related that this little girl's entire family was executed. They intended to execute her also and shot her in the head, but they failed to kill her. She was cared for by John's hospital and is healing, but has been crying and moaning. The nurses said John is the only one she seems to calm down with, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both sleep in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing.

*He is a real Star of the war and is representative of what America is trying to do. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don't. The American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference. Even if it is one little girl at a time.

Interesting How It Goes Around

Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head....

By Rush Limbaugh:

I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.

Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.

Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.

We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.

You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing Make sense?

However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.

US Senate Needs to Ban the Super Bowl

The Iraq Surrender Group of senators also needs to include in there legislation to get out of Iraq, that the United States also bans winning and determining champions. The Senators opposed to the war in Iraq only want the US to lose and to quit. How can you allow there to be championships in your country if you desire the country to a nation of losers.

With the banning of championships, we need to ban the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup, the NBA Championship and the World Series. How arrogant to declare that the United States has the best baseball and baseball players in the world. Opps, we invented the game here, same thing for football, and basketball. We can not be declaring winners and champions in our country, when we go out and start fights/wars around the world and quit.

We have to ban these championships, if we can have a congress that is so opposed to our military winning. How dare the United States be the world’s only super power! Sorry, it was our fathers and grandfathers that have bailed out Europe twice in WW I & II.

The United States is the only world’s super power because we have men and women that are willing to put aside their lives and volunteer to defend our country. Yet we have a political party that sees their path back to the president’s office by our failure in Iraq. So if the politicians want us to be a nation of losers in battles, they must also demand that we eliminate sports championships.

Will the Iraq Surrender Group ever propose the elimination of championships, not very likely? The leaders in the Iraq Surrender Group see sports fans as one of their biggest voting blocks, that they can not afford to offend. They see the average sports fan as a dumb blue collar worker sitting in front of the TV drinking beer. At the same time they see the average service man as an individual that is to dumb to get a job else where.

As a nation I firmly believe most of us love, respect, and are grateful for our service men and women. As a nation I believe most do not like the progress in the last few years in Iraq, but we still support our troops. As a nation I firmly believe, if given the choice they want the United States and Iraq to win the battle in Iraq.

Iraq is only one of the battles in the war on terror. As a Naval Veteran, I want our military to kick some butt and win! I want to see all of the championships continue. I want to see our nation demand that our military is victorious in the battles in the war on terror. I want to see our nation shed this opinion that quitting is okay in Iraq. Quitting is for losers and to surrender is to die. The purpose of the war on terror is to limit further attacks on the United States in the United States.

MSN Thinks You're Stupid, Again

Kimberly Sevcik in her article titled A Tale of Two Cities tries to tell you that unless you’re rich you have no chance. This article was published by MSN. She cites that the rich have increased their income by 200% and the single mom in poverty has only improved by 1% in the last 25 years. She uses this example to state that there is no middle class.

Well MSN, there is this thing called inflation. Over the last 25 years inflation has averaged at about 3% per year. On average the stock market gains about 10% per year. 200% over 25 years is only 8%; they’re doing worse than dumping all of their money in the stock market.

MSN takes a successful family compared to a single mom that her husband an illegal immigrant was arrested trying to cross the boarder. The description of the mother does not state if she is here legally her self. If you are not in the USA legally, you really have very limited chances of success to be anything but living below the poverty level.

Through out the whole article there is nothing of mention of the middle class. Is this to make the interference that here in the USA we are either filthy rich or dirt poor? According to the IRS and bankruptcy courts here in southwest Michigan, at $70,000 per year income you are making 20% above the mean income in Kalamazoo County, AKA rich. I don’t feel rich.

Michigan has gone from a very prosperous state to highest unemployment in the nation in 10 years. I still can not relate to the reference that MSN made to the poor in our state. There is no comparison to the flamboyant rich to the middle class, and there probably never will be.

The reality is that this article is just one more case of the media calling the average Joe, DUMB, “Those dumb hicks in flyover country.” Well this average guy in flyover country, know this. The United States of America is the greatest in the world. I was privileged to be born here, to be a citizen and proud to have served this great country in the United States Navy.

As to Kimberly if she wrote this article in China or Russia, she’d be shot for writing badly about the country. If she lived in Iran and wrote this article, she’d be shot because she is a woman, ergo she has no rights. God Bless America, I defended this great country so that stupid people have the write to write articles that call the nation stupid.

State of the Union Address

President Bush may have a great idea with the tax credit for health care costs for the self insured. Although I am afraid he has over looked the unintended consequences again.

He worded a tax cut as health care reform, smooth. But just like reducing student loan rates, health care providers and everyone else see it as a chance for more sales or increase prices. There has to be a mechanism that reduces the increases in health care cost along with the tax credit. Last I heard health care costs were rising at 8-10% per year, where inflation is half to a third of that.

President Bush did state that there should be no immunity for the illegal immigrants. He went on to state that there needs to be increased enforcement on employers hiring illegals. I’m all in favor of legal immigration; I’m just opposed to illegal immigration.

WP: Democrats do abortion sidestep - washingtonpost.com Highlights - MSNBC.com

"Eager to avoid a resumption of the culture wars, the new Democratic leaders are trying to tiptoe around the abortion issue by promoting legislation to encourage birth control and assist women who decide to proceed with unwanted pregnancies.

Democrats acknowledge that they alienated many social conservatives and churchgoing voters during years of combat with Republicans over the explosive issue of reproductive rights, and they want to change their emphasis to woo some of those voters back into the fold.

On the opening day of the 110th Congress on Jan. 4, for instance, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), an abortion foe, introduced a bill to increase funding for family planning and to improve access to emergency contraception. The measure has been endorsed by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), a champion of abortion rights, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), a leading Democratic presidential prospect.

These and other initiatives are a far cry from previous Democratic efforts that drew strong conservative opposition, including funding for abortions for women in the military serving overseas and U.N. family-planning programs in Third World countries.
getCSS("3176006")

• Full politics coverage"There are few more divisive issues in America today than abortion, but there is an opportunity to find common ground if we are willing to join together and seize it," Reid said recently. "The rate of unintended pregnancies is unacceptably high." Legislation such as his, he added, "can reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and the resulting abortions in America today."

During the past decade of Republican rule, Congress became a battleground for opposing forces in the abortion debate. Nearly 150 bills and amendments have been offered with the aim of restricting the procedure. Democrats and pro-abortion-rights Republicans blocked most of those measures, but in the process they alienated a vital group of voters — religious moderates who support, in principle, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide but who are morally squeamish about terminating pregnancies.

Now Democrats are seeking to reach these "abortion grays" through their own legislative proposals, all focused on preventing unwanted pregnancies. The initiatives, including several in development for more than a year, represent an attempt to broaden the discussion beyond the traditional framework of whether abortion should be legal. By recasting their approach, Democrats hope to appeal to "grays" in suburban areas and Midwestern towns who have voted Republican in recent elections.

"We believe deeply that we can do better than we're doing in our country when it comes to preventing unintended pregnancies and helping to support mothers and children," Clinton said in announcing her support for Reid's initiative.

‘Something that Democrats are really into’In the House, Reps. Tim Ryan (Ohio), a Democrat who opposes abortion, and Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), a member of the Democratic leadership who supports abortion rights, are backing measures to make contraception easier to obtain, while providing aid to women who proceed with unintended pregnancies. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) helped smooth the path for the Ryan-DeLauro bill, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the fourth-ranking House Democrat, is a cosponsor. "This is something that Democrats are really into," Emanuel said.

At least four similar bills are circulating. Antiabortion Democrats who are reluctant to promote contraception use are backing a more limited effort to help pregnant women and single mothers.
"You're going to see a change in the tone of the debate, and a move toward more solutions, rather than the divisiveness," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, a leading abortion rights group that signed on early to the prevention agenda. "What we're going to see in this Congress is some problem-solving."

The 2006 election results sent mixed signals about where voters stand on abortion. On one hand, pro-abortion-rights Democrats won in 22 House districts that had been represented by antiabortion Republicans. Three Senate seats also flipped from anti- to pro-abortion-rights candidates, and antiabortion ballot initiatives failed in three states, including South Dakota, where voters blocked an effort to outlaw the procedure.

On the other hand, five antiabortion Democrats were elected to the House from districts in the industrial Midwest and South, conservative regions that the Democratic Party had been struggling to infiltrate. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.), who is Catholic and opposes abortion, won a Senate seat with strong Democratic establishment backing — although his father, the late Pennsylvania governor Robert P. Casey Sr., had been barred from addressing the 1992 Democratic National Convention because of his antiabortion views. A slim majority of the Senate leans toward favoring abortion rights, but the Democratic-led House remains antiabortion by a narrow margin. As one abortion rights activist put it, "We've made gains, but we don't have carte blanche on anything."

Democrats hope their proposals for preventing unwanted pregnancies will become a bridge within the party and even across the aisle to some Republicans, a way to reconcile moral reservations with legal rights.

‘Abortion grays’
Third Way, a moderate Democratic policy group, coined the term "abortion grays" to define the nearly two-thirds of voters who hold mixed views on the subject. Rachel Laser, Third Way's abortion expert, has counseled numerous Democratic candidates and lawmakers on prevention rhetoric. In a poll the group commissioned last summer, 69 percent of voters said they supported the goal of reducing the number of abortions "while still preserving the basic right to have one."

Yet Democrats have been reluctant even to mention abortion in recent years. Laser reviewed Senate Web sites and found that Democratic members used the word fewer than 350 times, while Republicans raised the issue 1,900 times. Democrats "also are prone to make conflicting statements about abortion or to couple their pro-choice voting records with a statement professing their personal opposition to abortion," one of her Third Way memos said. "This comes across as defensive, confusing and disingenuous."

The Reid bill, sponsored in the House by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.), would increase funds for family-planning services, ensure contraception equity in health insurance plans and improve access to emergency contraception. The Ryan-DeLauro legislation would expand access to contraception, fund sex-education programs, improve health-care access for low-income women and children, and extend adoption tax credits.

Minefields still awaitThere are still minefields, as Ryan discovered when he entered the abortion fray in the House. A 33-year-old Catholic who represents a working-class Ohio district, he has sought to jostle Democratic thinking on abortion since his service in the state legislature. After he was elected to Congress in 2002, Ryan reached out to the antiabortion group Democrats for Life. The group was devising what evolved into a foundation of the prevention agenda, a plan to lower the abortion rate by 95 percent over 10 years.

In late 2005, Democrats for Life discussed a possible collaboration with Third Way, but an alliance never materialized because many antiabortion Democrats, particularly Catholics, were reluctant to endorse contraception provisions.

"We wanted a bill that all pro-life Democrats could feel comfortable supporting," said Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life. But Ryan decided that Democrats had to go further, and he shopped his bill around the House without the group's support. It has since become the leading Democratic vehicle in that chamber. "We cannot have a legitimate abortion-reduction bill without contraception," Ryan said.

But the Democrats for Life bill also has gained broad support and even has attracted some Republican backers. Among its provisions: expanding welfare and health benefits for pregnant women and closing health-insurance loopholes that limit prenatal care. At least three states — Alabama, Michigan and Virginia — are considering smaller versions of the House package, Day said.

"In the ideal world, there would have been just one bill," she said. "But it's a positive step that our party has been talking about this. Two bills is a good thing."
