Dear America

Dear America

As a friend, I can’t help but be very concerned about the direction I see the country heading. 
 
Are you so desperate for some kind of change that you will throw all reason to the wind? Do you think that by electing Obama, all of your troubles will simply disappear and the world will be somehow more kinder and gentler? Do you think that Obama only has to "talk" to other World leaders and everyone will be friends and work together for the common good?!?! 

Will you put your faith and confidence in a candidate and his running mate who have absolutely no respect and do not value human life? There will be more slaughter of the unborn and more and more erosion of the value and dignity of human life. Obama boasts a 100 percent voting record in opposing pre-born human life. He wanted to keep post partial abortion and was appalled at the decision made by the Supreme Court. Barack also supports infanticide and actually took the Illinois Senate floor to argue that babies who survived abortion attempts do not deserve medical care and instead should be left alone to die!
 
Why is it that enemies of America love Obama? Here is a Headline from Jihad Watch June 12, 2008; by Egyptian Journo: "Muslims love Obama because he will appease them." America has enemies and they are plotting against you, the CIA, FBI etc tell you that they want to attack again. While Obama raises the white flag in surrender, promising to end the war, he has not looked at the consequences of it. Radical Islamists are raging a war against America and the West and they do not intend to give up if anything Iran is already trying to aquire nuclear weaponry which they will use against their enemies two of whom are Israel and America.
 
Why is it that Obama’s associates sends chills down my spine. The people one chooses to associate themselves with says a lot about a person. Obama has been linked to so many radicals and home grown terrorist elements, it brings his judgement into serious question.
 
I find it very hard to believe that Barack Obama sat at the feet of a hate-filled racial bigot and it took twenty years to realize, while running for the highest office in the land, that his minister's teachings, did not reflect his views. Imagine that! If there is ever a clear and present threat, you do not want someone who cannot make a quick and sound judgment. Barack Obama also has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign.
 
Why would you want to vote for a candidate who took alot of money from CEO’s that ran Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into the ground? A president that will raise your taxes, cut jobs, say when you can go to the doctor, say if you can be hospitalized. What’s next? Tell you what and when to have dinner?! 
 
Corruption drains resources, rewards crooks and wreaks havoc on everyone. Why isn’t someone focusing on the fact that Obama chose to forego public funding for his campaign as he originally promised to McCain? Maybe money has been promised from lobbyists that benefit from his huge push for earmarks. Why is the insurance industry so keen to support Obama? There seems to be little concern with his association with the group ACORN who share the blame for your mortgage problems and they are also at the forefront of voter registration fraud on a massive scale. But, the media is silent on this issue.
 
America is feeling the effects of corruption. The economic troubles cannot be solved from a person and his colleagues who are having their pockets lined with money, taxpayers money and an orator who does not love the free market. He favors socialism, he wants fairness and justice which means taking from those he perceives to have more and giving to those who "deserve" it more. Obama started out early in his campaign attacking big business. Apparently Obama does not know that Big Businesses do not pay taxes. They simply raise their prices. And who loses out in this? The consumer. His economic platform is probably one of the few math problems with no solution, it simply does not add up and balance. Now having a very solid math and economic background, how can 95% of Americans get a tax break, raise business tax, increase government, fund wall street, fund liberal subsidy programs and fund all these promises he has made?!?! Where is he getting all the money to fund all these programs??? I’m still trying to figure this one out, I just cant get the numbers to work but hey I did not take Obanomics 101!
 
America you need to wake up and take off the blinders. Don’t believe that Obama is going to scream "Peace!!" and the Taliban, Al Qaida and Ahmadinajad are going to turn a new leaf and start planting roses and tulips instead of nuclear weapons?!?! Wake up America! Do you want a pilot who will give you a little bit of a bumpy ride or one who promises the flight of your lifetime and who in fact is going to bring you crashing down? The choice is yours.

Sincerely,
A very concerned friend.

Past.... Present....Future

It’s inevitable that prices will change with time, the bigger issue is the ability of consumers to keep up. We all know that the price of everything is affected with the cost of fuel however the rise in prices in most items is not proportional. It annoys me to pay five dollars more for something, but I forget about it in a few minutes. I lead a somewhat simplistic life, I have my spending vices, but I know that $100 just can’t do what it used to do. I really wonder how families, especially families where money was tight before, are making out now.

It’s no wonder why there are so many angry people out there, everything is about staying afloat. How do you make that $500 dollars last until you get paid? Food, clothing, shelter, fuel, bills and this does not include the occasional indulgence; people are living a nightmare to survive. Worrying about making ends meet must be so stressful, feeling defeated, inadequate, a failure. Then we have those who are living in some sort of bubble it seems living so outside their means. They say they are suffering, many really are but you cannot compare you not being able to buy the most expensive pair of shoes or outfit to those who cannot meet their basic needs. Keeping up with the Jones Syndrome as I call it but he who dies with the most toys is still dead.

There are so many people working, trying to make their lives and their families just a little bit better but the limitations that are being placed on them, the bar just keeps rising and rising, seeming somewhat impossible. I’m talking about those who did not inherit money, did not sell their values or rape the land and will not swindle their fellow man to get rich. These are the ones that are being affected most. I am not talking about not sacrificing and saving for a rainy day, but when Governments and the “experts” tell us to live without this or that, how can you tell a man who works hard to provide for his family, abides by the law etc not to take his family to see an occasional movie or take them for a simple treat like ice cream??

So what are we to do? One of the biggest problems worldwide is that agriculture is devalued. It is more cost effective to take land that is suited for agriculture and use it for namely housing. Penny wise they say, take land, cheap land and build houses, hotels, industries on it and sell them for exorbitant amounts of money. It’s more like pound foolish, you cannot eat money. And the biggest solution is population control, try to make a law as to how many children a couple should have and make Abortion and Euthanasia legal. Kill the unwanted.

The experts say substitute one food for another but the substitute is just as expensive or costs more. They thought that genetic engineering would have solved the food problem because it should have been able to produce a lot of cheap food, but that is not the case. We surely can’t eat or drink technology. With the rise in prices, we have so many things to consider when making purchases today the one up I can see is that it is forcing people to think about what really makes them happy. Does the bigger home, the bigger car, the extra car, the priciest brands in food, clothing, appliances etc etc, does having these things make me happy?

It is said that the present is the past in disguise, so if the price of bread once caused so much change ( The French Revolution), what future is hiding behind our present?
