My Friends!
Are you behind in your mortgage?? Has your 401K tanked?? Are you tired of living in the dark because you can't pay your electric bill?? Yes, some of our government's decisions have certainly affected our economy in a negative way!! And, with the possibility of new taxes looming on the horizon, what's a person supposed to do?!?!? I WILL TELL YOU, IN THREE EASY WORDS.
GET A UIGHUR!!
What?? What the hell is a Uighur. I am glad you asked. A Uighur is a Chinese Muslim. There are currently 17 Uighurs being held at Guantanamo Bay but it has been determined that they are not actually "enemy combatants" and should be released. Unfortunately, no one wants to take them!! Fortunately, we have Barack Obama, quite possibly the smartest human being to ever live and he has figured it out! The United States taxpayers will simply pony up $200 million dollars, i.e. $200,000,000.00, and pay it to the island of Palau, who will then graciously take these 17 Uighurs and give them a home. For those of you who are not great with math, that breaks down to a bargain basement payment price of only $11, 764,705.89...a mere pittance by the standard of government spending in this administration.
But then I was thinking to myself, even though $11,764,705.89 is a great bargain price...maybe I could do it for less myself. So I was thinking that maybe I would tell President Obama that I will take a Uighur, or maybe two, and I would do it for 20%, NO, 25% off the cost of what Palau wants to charge. I will take a couple of Uighurs at a price to the government of only, ONLY $8,823,529.41, taxes and tags included.
I figure that once I have my new Uighurs, I can build a guest house for them, or, if they are nice, maybe just a new wing on my house. I should be able to hire some decent security guards (anyone know a reliable security company?) to keep everything under control and still probably realize a nice little stipend for myself of say, oh, $5 million dollars per Uighur.
This could become a real cottage industry, but you have to hurry and get in on the ground floor before all the Uighurs are gone. Call the White House today and tell Barack that you want a Uighur for your very own. It will mean savings for the taxpayer, it is patriotic, and it could be a fun hobby and a learning experience for you and your kids. DON'T DELAY!! CALL TODAY!!
SAY "I WANT A UIGHUR, TOO!!"

The Quiet Revolution
The American Revolution, which resulted in this country being the great country that it is, was open, noisy and evident to anyone who observed it. The country which was created from the plans of our Founding Fathers has grown, in roughly 2 1/2 centuries into arguably the greatest country that this world has ever seen.
Now, within the halls of Congress and the courtrooms of American justice, and within the confines of the Oval Office itself, plans are being made and actions are being taken that have or will dramatically affect Americs's greatness in a very negative way.
Although the mainstream media, aka The Barack Obama Fan Club, do not choose to keep you apprised of many of these actions, nonetheless, President Barack Obama and his far left Democrats are quickly leading the United States down a road which will inevitably result in a major change that will leave the our country overtaxed and possibly bankrupt.
Now, in fairness to our President, while campaigning last summer, Barack Obama did say, "America is the greatest country in the history of the world. Come and help me change it!" Now, I presume that those American voters who cast their vote for President Obama were assuming that he meant changing America for the BETTER!
I GUESS NOT! Here are just a few examples of how America is being changed by the Barack administration.
The TARP bailout was instituted to bailout our financial system, i.e. stabilizing our banks. The legislation, as passed, specifically limited the use of this money to banking bailouts. Further, as banks paid back the TARP money, the legislation specifies that all money paid back would go directly to the general treasury funds of the United States. With that being said, why were billions of dollars used in the auto bailouts of Chrysler and General Motors. I guess someone ABOVE THE LAW just decided to rewrite that part of the legislation. Oh, yeah, and by the way, TurboTax Tim Geitner, our esteemed Treasury Secretary, announced recently that repaid TARP funds would be reused for other bailout plans. WHAT HAPPENED TO PUTTING THAT MONEY BACK INTO OUR TREASURY?!?!?
OK, let's move on from that for now. Did you hear that the Obama administration decided to rewrite bankruptcy laws and they were able to do that without having to go and bother our Congress with the pesky task of legislating. WHAT A TIMESAVER!! Yes, folks, even though U.S. Bankruptcy code is very clear on who gets in line first when a business goes bankrupt, the Obama administration thought it would be much better if the United Auto Workers (UAW), who were NOT SECURED CREDITORS, would receive the lion's share of these bankrupt auto firms while the actual investors were browbeaten into settling for a much smaller share of the pie. As a small child playing board games and card games with my family and friends, I was taught early on that trying to rewrite the rules in the middle of a game is called CHEATING, which of course is DISHONEST!! But, I guess when you are the President, rewriting the rules and ignoring the existing law and contracts would be called uh, hmm, well....Gee, I don't know, but it sure sounds DISHONEST to this citizen.
And let us not forget that all new legislation under the Obama presidency was going to be transparent and spending would be on a "pay-as-you -go" basis, spending on new projects only after we saved money from cancelling useless OLD projects. Does anyone else remember those promises? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?!?!
A power grab of unprecedented proportions is taking place right under our collective noses. President Obama now has an entire Russian Royal Family of Czars who are in charge of a great many aspects of American life and business. These czars answer to no one except President (or is that King?) Obama. These czars are unelected and are not even subject to approval of Congress. They are simply individuals in whom President Obama has placed great amounts of power over your life and mine, without any accountability to the citizens of the United States!! HEY, I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR SAVING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!! SINCE WE NOW HAVE A CZAR TO COVER ALMOST EVERYTHING, WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED A PRESIDENTIAL CABINET FOR?!?!? LET'S GET RID OF THOSE USELESS DEADBEATS AND SAVE ALL THAT SALARY MONEY THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING PAID OUT!!
The Obama government is taking control of the banking system, taking charge of major industries and ignoring the laws of this land and the U.S. Constitution itself!! If this continues unchallenged and unabated, we might as well start calling each other "comrade" and, instead of elections, we will just go ahead and hold coronations on those people fortunate enough to be annointed by our newest deity, Obama Almighty!!

An Interesting View From Across The Sea
The following article appeared on Pravda's online site on April 27, 2009. Here is the link if you wish to view the actual article. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/
America should wake up NOW or this nightmare is going to become reality!!
AMERICAN CAPITALISM GONE WITH A WHIMPER
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

I THINK THE FOLLOWING QUOTE SAYS IT ALL!
"Freedom is never more than a generation from being extinct. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day, we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." --Ronald Reagan
AMERICA, IT IS TIME FOR US TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT COURSE THAN THE ONE WHICH HAS BEEN CHOSEN FOR US BY AN ELITE FEW IN WASHINGTON, DC. IT IS TIME TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM SO THAT WE CAN PASS IT ON TO OUR CHILDREN.
America should wake up NOW or this nightmare is going to become reality!!

A Presidential Comparison
I recently received this article from a friend and I thought it was worth passing on to you, my few but loyal readers.
A Presidential Comparison Quiz
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
In case you can't make out this little montage, that is President Barack Obama standing on top of the Capitol, just to the right of the dome, with bags of taxpayer money laying around his feet. The rest is pretty self- explanatory, especially if you have ever seen the movie "The Little Shop Of Horrors."
I wish I were a better cartoonist, as I would like to draw more satirical cartoons. Oh, well, we all do the best we can with what God Gives us.
Something To Consider
I received this editorial cartoon as part of an email this morning. After my initial laugh, I took pause to consider the deeper thought behind this cartoon and I realized how "dead on" this little joke was when it came to telling what is really being done in his country today.
Yes, America has always been "the land of plenty." But I have never heard it referred to as "the
land of infinity!" To paraphrase a few lines from the movie "55 Days At Peking", let us say that the United States has always appeared to be a cow with an unlimited supply of milk. However, now our elected representatives are no longer satisfied with just squeezing every last drop out of our "cow", they would like to start butchering her to get a few steaks, too.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO MORE PORK SPENDING AND MONSTER BAILOUTS AND GIVEAWAYS! WE HAVE GOT TO GIVE OUR "ECONOMIC COW" SOME TIME TO REST, RECUPERATE AND RENEW HER STRENGTH AND MILK SUPPLY OR THE END RESULT WILL BE THE DEATH OF HER.
If that is allowed to happen, then R.I.P. AMERICA and may God have mercy on our souls!

T_A_SP_R_NC_
What?? What does that mean?? The word is TRANSPARENCY, a word which was used over and over again by CANDIDATE Obama last fall. Do you remember?!?!? All legislation was to be posted online for at least FIVE days before any votes so that the CITIZENS (that's us, you know, "We, The People..." as quoted in our Declaration of Independence) would be able to review important legislation and make thoughtful comment to our duly elected representatives in Congress.
NO MORE SECRET LATE NIGHT BEHIND-THE-DOOR DEALS FOR US. NO SIR! WE WOULD HAVE AN OPEN TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COMMON CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS BEING DONE WITH OUR TAXES.
Sounded great, didn't it. It gave us HOPE that real CHANGE would occur. Yea, right! By the time our Congress and our President have finished spending, hand over fist, on every pet and pork project they can think of, the only HOPE we can rely on is that we may still have some spare CHANGE in our collective pockets.
Let's look at the record so far. Our congress was rushed into voting on a trillion dollar spending bill that no one had read!! It wasn't posted on the internet for five days, not the final version. The version that was voted on, and passed, was not on the internet for more that 48 hours before it became the law of the land.
Now, let's talk about the promised TRANSPARENCY. Recently, the Fox Business Network placed a Freedom of Information Act request asking the U.S. Treasury for an accounting of how the first TARP money, about $780 billion, had been spent. That request was declined by our government. So Fox went to court and the court ruled that the Treasury had to provide the requested information. Fox received a list from the Treasury that was largely blacked out for "security reasons." BULLSHIT!!!
THIS IS OUR MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT TOOK IT, SPENT IT IRRESPONSIBLY AND NOW DOESN'T WANT TO TELL US HOW THE MONEY WAS SPENT!! THIS IS BEYOND IMPERIOUS BEHAVIOR...THIS IS ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR AND IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION OF HOW OUR NEW PRESIDENT SAID THINGS WOULD BE DONE ONCE HE WAS ELECTED.
I CALL NOW UPON PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD AND TAKE CHARGE OF THIS SITUATION AND SEE THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS PROVIDED WITH AN ACCOUNTING OF WHERE OUR TAX MONEY WENT. MAN UP, BARACK, IT IS NOW TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!
WHATCHA GONNA DO?!?!?
