IT’S NOT THE ROLE OF THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CREATE JOBS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!
IT’S NOT THE ROLE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CREATE JOBS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICANS must regain their resilience and move the economy forward. It’s not the role of the Federal Government to create jobs. That’s a job for the people. Government can only set the stage by creating as level a playing field as possible, create incentives, assistance and any necessary catalysts with which to engage those with the entrepreneurial spirit to take action. After that point it up to every well thinking ambitious American with this Country’s interest at hart, to assume their responsibility and not sit around like some third world people who are lacking the education, the skills and or the opportunities glaring at them for self- empowerment. Waiting? What are Americans waiting for? If and when we force government to begin to think, plan and do for us, what we can do for ourselves, we are really asking to be treated as third world citizens existing, not living, under the heavy thumb of elected tyrants, who take it for granted that they may ignore what the people really want in the interest of paying lobbyists simply because we have surrenders our independence.
May be; just may be, one day soon, very soon, since we certainly can’t stand to wait, we will all come to the very clear realization that it’s not the role of the Federal government to solely fix the economy. Americans like most free loving people don’t want to see the FEDERAL Government or any other government for that matter become so involved in our lives that the line between freewill and freedom becomes merely an academic exercise, and not one we experience in actuality.
Yet we do know the role of government is to be involved in our everyday lives in such a way, that the key factors of economic growth, is in harmony with US human capital and are available to all of us. Or at least for those Americans who invest their time objectively, analytically and creatively towards becoming positive contributors to a strong national as well as international economy.
Yes the aforementioned is clearly showing that we do know that we need the government in our lives in spite of our reservations, to help us enjoy the benefits of living in a free first world economy. But we certainly don’t want to sell the impression to Americans, or to our elected state and or Federal government officials, that it’s going to take only government action to bring things to a point where we all can again have the confidence that life does get better.
So hopefully we all get it or rather got it!!!!!!!!! We also again hopefully get what many Americans; the self appointed Jeremiahs of doom, are using as an excuse to attack everything this new administration is working at in terms of resolving critical issues. Critical issues which when resolved; and they will and must be resolved, will ensure that all Americans, enjoy not just freedom, but enjoy freedom with the highest quality of life possible. That’s the civil society we all crave. The horrific negative civil discourse from what must be seen as absolutely angry; arrogant, ignorant of the facts people, objecting to everything that is aimed at making their lives better is only a glimpse of why we cannot afford to grow our society on the reliance of political leaders who ; lead people like the aforementioned, like lambs to the slaughter.
All the debates, current and those to come are all apart of the prime objectives which must be met to create such a socially, economically and therefore politically stable and enriched society respectively. Attacking for attack sake is arrogant foolhardiness at its best. There can be nothing worst. Especially when Protestors and the people who are themselves the most objectionable are themselves destroying their own desired hope for, not just dreaming about the best possible lifestyle possible; and I repeat possible a third time, but actually living it.
Americans at Town Hall meetings called by the Republican stalwarts; should be coming prepared with positive suggestions as to how can they help to make their country greater than what it is. Not come to tear it from limb to limb, destroying what true American democracy means to all of us. Spewing venom is not democracy; it represents the threshold of future tyranny. We should have leant from other nations who have tried that dangerous experiment in ancient and our lived in modern times. They are destroying the very fabric of their own nation, with the foolish plan that they can again simply recapture its true essence once they are in power. It’s more difficult to recapture something we let loose and causing deliberate breakage, that this simplistic logic may indicate. It’s more difficult than you may think or ever imagine. Do we all remember “Humpty Dumpty”? Don’t destroy a nation which has evolved positively to represent true freedom to the rest of the world, because of selfish, self-centered greed of some who absolutely thurst to hold political power.
American political leaders and leadership have and are engaged in this selfish means to power. They must be reminded of History itself. Not some foreign régime or nation, but the history of the Great United States . Remember the civil war? Do we really need to approach this countries business with the same heated and hateful rhetoric which still lingers in the minds and harts of those who still dwell in the past. Believing they are citizens of the so called; Great southern confederacy, and not wanting to face the reality or 21Century global America. For that segment of this great nation’s population, pampered by charlatans seeking votes, it’s time you let go. Let go people!! For until you do, you will not realize or come to understand what this country is “constitutioned” to accomplish. Democracy fuels positive nation building. Lets work it to create Jobs, better health care and to understand the value of a financially empowered people.
When we stop fighting amongst ourselves and own up to our responsibilities, America will again Rise. Rise because the minds of our people would not have been engaged in hating each other as opposed to cherishing the greatness of diversity. America, it’s not so hard if we decide to do this together. Thinking positively and acting responsible about and for each other is by far not a treasonous act regardless of what you are being told by those with suspicious motive. Quite the opposite America. If we don’t realize that, it only can and will get worse!!!!.
Does any one want to see America with wild confused, angry war lords, driving around in jeeps, beating people in the streets because they may have a different approach, opinion or belief system to the same utopia, we all seek for this nation? I know if you are wise, and truly love this nation ; the United States Of America, you think not!!!

Just Laws For All Americans Like All people, Exemptions Lead To Political Chaos
The presidency of Barrack Obama will pay dearly if it continues to ignore needed actions to officially and criminally charge Former Vise President Cheney for his admitted War crimes. Crimes which he has for some suspicious reason continues to taunt as being justified. With over 4,000 American and conservatively 100,000 Iraqis’ lives lost and still climbing as a direct result of Cheney’s actions, how can the New President with a straight face ask the other tyrants around the world to cease and desist from practicing war crimes against innocent and maybe, even not so innocent people. Regardless of whom these people are, and whatever their degree of innocence, the actions take by Dick Cheney are in deed crimes against humanity and deserve the justifiable condemnation of and from all freedom loving people. And how do we, as constituents of a justice system that demands the up holding of Just laws as a prerequisite of a civilized democratic and free society, sit by and justify condemning and bringing to trial those who have not leant that wars can only compound our eventual solutions to peace. And solutions will come; but only and once we rid our political culture of men like Dick Cheney, Ben Laden and all those who continue to miss educate future impressionable generations, that evil will bring good and evil can be equated with righteousness. This brings us to ask one question;
Ben Laden and Dick Cheney, what do they have in common? Their dogged selfish attitudes to the sanctity of life and the rule of civilized laws. And why do men like these seem to permeate the civilized world with bold and un-fearing Gaul, like the Hitler’s' of the planets’ dark and unforgiving past? Simply because we continue to give them focused audience. Or rather to clarify, the mass media forces us, by selecting as well as electing to displays these self induced misdirected men of colossal egos and their illusions of grander, treats us like people trapped in a locked theatre, forces us to listen, for their own profit taking exploits.
And as we now point to the mass media for bombarding us with what we need to know. And we in our anger now try to blame them for doing their jobs. We now truly recognize, the effect evil, evil men with their evil deeds have on the rest of us. They cause us to blame everyone and each other for every thing when they go wrong, so we forget them. As they hide in the dark shadows of their covert actions, more evil acts and their doers hidden, unfold. So now we understand their true strategy. Get us distracted in order to blame and hate each other, with such biased and clouded anger, we eventually blindly and without logic or compassion murder each other with zealous actions but sober and depressing remorse when we come to recognize the unwarranted pain and brutality in which they have craftily employed our participation. Regretful actions by the mislead based on their say and on their dishonest right.
President Obama, need not worry about breaking any promises he made to the former president about going on a hunt for those who broke our sacred laws. These men have shown no remorse, and promises have already been broken to the people who elected him. The mandate is important and should be honored. Honesty, commitment, full disclosure and the removal of impediments to access the truth. That's what we expect from a president elected on such a mandate. Anything else or less is an insult to the intellect of not just American citizens but a global people. Incidentally who or what is more important in this and all true democracies? I would like to think it’s the majority of the people in such a democracy. Americans at all levels respects and honors justice. It leads to trust in our leaders.
Don'T Blame ta payers for the Financial melt down
The foreclosure crisis, major US banks crashing, credit crunch at the hands of Wall Street fat cats and now the ordinary tax payers, most who never benefit from fair credit any way, is to again bear the brunt of the pain. Hard working people who pay taxes and have been denied on a regular basis fair credit, where they are never afforded a reasonable interest rate, should be angry.
Heck NO, they should be out raged. Even as we speak about crashing banks and crawling economies within the wall street community, these same financial institutions are squeezing the life blood out of these same tax payers they now want to gladly accept this burden as being of benefit to them. How do the ordinary tax payers benefit? Will they see any share of profits; will they see any reduction in their taxes; will they see lower credit interest rate and therefore lower credit card charges. THATS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
The reality is that this bail out is for the greater benefit of Wall Street. If the Federal Government TRULY believe that Main street businesses will need credit to stay afloat, then just keep it simple, give main street the over $700 billion to help them stay afloat. Let these banks give true and real value to the homes in the foreclosure market; where many of these banks must have known that these assets were grossly over valued, yet allowed the gullible , upwardly mobile working class trying to hold on to the American dream to buy them anyway. The Fist move is to extend the loan that they have already given at a lower interest rate. Then bring the homes to their true market value. This will make homes more affordable. There will be no foreclosure, we will all make money and we will see a more stable market all round.
As we write; Wall Street gurus who have found ways to manipulate the credit and financial market to their benefit; and have billions stached abroad, are now sitting on their wealth awaiting an infusion from the very poor and hard working middleclass American tax payers, most of whom have no direct involvement with Wall Street and can and will never benefit form the billions and trillions of daily trades. Let them; Wall Street, put their money into their business of recovery. GIVE THE ordinary tax payer this $750Billion. If THIS IS DONE there won’t be any major fallout. And as we always know, whether it takes one or 10 year, Wall Street will rebound.

Obama's double-dealing
Obama's discussion with Iraqi leaders is not only the "height of hubris" It is also at the "edge of treason". He actually tried to persuade the Iraqi government not to negotiate with The Commander In Chief of The United Stated of America during an on-going war. He wanted them to delay making a decision of troop withdrawals until after the election, so he could take credit for "bringing them home", (with the arrogant assumption that he is in fact going to win!) This is not opinion people. THIS IS FACT, confirmed by Obama's very own foreign policy advisor.
Now, this is not only highly un-ethical, it is also highly Illegal. It is in direct violation of the Logan Act, which is punishable by both fines and imprisonment! Dont take my word for it. Look it up.
Obama is nothing more than a crooked Chicago politician who has proven that COUNTRY DOES NOT COME FIRST IN HIS WORLD!!! He was supposed to be the candidate to "rise up" above partisan politics. He can't even "rise up" above TREASON.
ENERGY IGNORANCE
Ask Obama what he plans to do about these high gas prices and he will always turn it around to "exploring" new energy sources. In other words, NOTHING! Wind power is not going to power your car. Solar power is not going to power your car. T. Boone Pickens says natural gas is the answer because it costs about 40 percent less per gallon. What he doesn't tell you is that you get 50 percent less gas milage, so you are looking at investing about 2,ooo dollars into a fuel conversion package for your car and it will still cost you about 10 percent more to operate it. THE ONLY ANSWER IS TO USE OUR OWN OIL!!! Open up off shore drilling. Open up drilling in ANWR. 29,000 acres have already been set aside for drilling in the ANWR province! That is tiny compared to the other 19 million acres surrounding it. That's bigger than the state of West Virginia. Nobody says you can't still explore alternate energy sources. This is the biggest no-brainer in history!
Obama's excuse of environmental protectionism is bogus. In order to produce 50 megawatts of energy with solar power, you would need to cover 1,000 acres of land with solar panels. With wind you would need 2,000 to 4,000 acres of 200 ft tall windmills. Natural gas would require 2 to 5 acres. Oil requires a mere 1/2 acre. I don't see the argument. DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, SAVE MONEY!!! McCain and Palin are the only ones with the answer.
palin's "safaris"
I was always under the impression that the shooting of wildlife out of airplanes and/or helicopters for sport was illegal. True? I know for a fact that it was at one time in the past, especialy polar bears and wolves.
Say no to the Community Agitator!
Obama should be tried for treason for tampering with Iraqi foreign policy during his rock star tour. He did it so he can lay claim to being the savior of U.S. policy in Iraq. Say no to the Community Agitator!
McCain/Palin Lies
I have been watching these campaigns since the early primaries. I am a democrat but I don't always vote by party as I believe good men/women are in both parties. I beleive that the american people have been asleep for to long and for once this campaign has awoke the American people to realize that we have bee bushwhacked for far to long. McCain/Palin don't make any sense they appear to want changes but seem to be to afraid to even ponder how to make the changes necessary for our country to survive. We are decades behind the rest of the world in alternate energy technology and now we want to elect people whose answer is open up the Alaska Wildlife Refuge and drill some more. I don't even want to get started on double talk that both of these politicians do. If we are led to believe anything it is that if McCain is elected we can expect another 4 years of more lies and bad policy. I for one don't want yself or my family to have to deal with it.
Financial meltdown??
Is this a financial melt down or a moral melt down. The "middle class" has been paying for the GREED of the top execs's for years. The government is bailing out bad decisions that executives with an anual salary of $1,000,000.00 (yeah, count the zeros) plus not including their bonuses. If an individual makes an bad decision Uncle Sam sure isn't going to forgive you your sins. Possibly it's time for the government to say hey, you didn't deserve the salary you made. We're going to take your assets to compensate for some of the loss in lieu of telling the common Joe, just cough up some more tax dollars. Where are the days when making wise, educated decisions were rewarded and not self absorbed greed.

What a dunce. Can't spell and makes absolutely NO sense.
