Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father _______________________________________________________________________ -RICHS RANTS I think I told you about when I packed up my family and left Massachusetts. Do you believe the EJ Harrington Elementary in Lynn, MA, refused to forward their records to the ILL school we registered them in. The year was 1975. Fast forward 10 years. Remember Little House on the Prairie? Well, once upon a time thought I was Charles Engels protecting my family. But as they grew up as public school indoctrinated teenagers, we got a rude awakening when we were informed our 16-year-old daughter could quit school without letting us know. The following year, I got another surprise when I was told that I couldn't stop a 2nd 16-year-old from driving the junk car she bought, but I better buy her insurance because I was responsible if she had an accident. And it wasn't too much later when I was told my daughter had the right to see whomever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and there was no legal way I could stop her. Again, we voted with our feet. The year was 1986. Hello Texas. Well, today I'm not Charles Engels. More like his next door neighbor, Mr Edwards. He was the mountain man Charles befriended. Like him, I yearn for the good-old-days, when I mistakenly thought things were as bad as they could be. A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from my daughter who long ago moved to New Hampshire. She told me our great-granddaughter came home from school singing the praises of Lord Obama. "I love him so much," she added. And then I find out it is happening all over the country. Somebody financed a national effort. Probably with some else's money. The election has infiltrated kindergartens thruout the public schools of America which explains why our once proud best-in-the-world education system, circa 1955, is no longer in the top 20 of industrialized nations. I couldn't believe it. How many people must collude for this to happen in the supposed Land of the Free. Sounds like something a domestic terrorist like Bill Ayers would be behind. Hmmm. As I look around today, I don't see my America. I see a big govt that wants to put restraints on what I say and do---and there's nowhere else to move to. They want to restructure the US, hell, the World, in their image. Who the hell do they thing they are, the Messiah? The USG may be bringing America down, but there's no where else I'd rather be. Look at what has happened since George XXXXI proposed the NAFTA Treaty, later ratified under Clinton. First, the Peace dividend we expected for winning the Cold War, never materialized. It all went to the banksters who gobbled up the S&Ls. You'd think, some one would get mad. Do you not remember, the last real recession (3 months of negative growth) occurred at the very end of the Clinton Admin. GWB's tax cuts cut it short because lower taxes creates taxable economic activity resulting in greater govt revenue. I wouldn't mention that except, with the economy teetering on the verge of another recession, one of the candidates wants to undo the tax cuts that cut the last one short. Next, the Clinton Admin reorganized the the Defense Industry, to make sure it survived the Peace. Genl Dynamics got out of the war plane business and Lockheed took over the F-16 etc. Some were merged or absorbed by the big boys. A few disappeared, but the bottom line was, the Defense Industry grew into a group of monopolies---one for fighter planes, one for tank building, one for…. Predictably, the newly formed govt monopolies lost their competitiveness when they had no one to compete against. Duh! Today the USAF goes to Europe for better value on new aircraft tanker fleet than the American monopoly can no longer produce. The ship yards, for all practical purposes, are gone and NASA is more concerned with the myth of Global Warming than growing JFK's dream of conquering space. Clinton sent his Secty of Commerce, Ron Brown, on junkets with the Captain's of Industry introducing them to the wonders of the cheap labor of the Pacific Rim. Our once independent nation is now dependent on other nations for even the simplest of things, like bicycles, Christmas tree lights and car seats for children. Whole industries, like TV/radio, computers, textiles and shoes gone. Our govt, except for a few brave men willing to buck the system, have capped our oil wells and limited coal mining while enriching, as they say, some countries that aren't wishing US well. We've got all these crazy pols running around telling US how they are going to give US health insurance so more people will have health coverage---but ne'er mention training more medical professionals to give US better medical care. There's even a fedl cap on how many doctors may be licensed each year. But lest you think this is a partisan issue, think about Mr Newt's Contract on America. He claimed he satisfied the contract by bringing everything on to the floor to be voted on in the first 100 days. Call me suckered, but I didn't think it terminated in 100 days. I foolishly thought if it didn't pass the first time, try, try again. Yes, they got rid of the morning ice buckets, but the pols still need someone to push the button on the elevator for them, and they are still exempt from the laws governing insider trading they applied to the rest of US. Nor have we heard the words "Term Limits" come out of any pols mouth since---even after the Speaker of the House, Tom Foley, was turned out by his home district for opposing it. http://superdelegates.org/Tom_Foley You know what I'm talking about. Certainly you've seen plenty of it yourself. The auto industry, once the premiere manufacturer on the globe, is in the process of being sold off piece-meal, to the highest bidder. Once the breadbasket of the world, we now import food and medicine from the other side of the globe. Even guns and ammo are imported. Do you see a pattern yet? I fell like a stranger in my own country, just like Mr Edwards. This is not the America I grew up in where kids came in when the street lights went on and doctors made house visits. (Best place to catch a cold is in a doctors waiting room.) The Bush-Clinton-Bush NAFTA begat the SPP, which plans to marry Canada & Mexico to the USA. Isn't that polygamy? They imported so many illegal aliens they want US to believe we have no choice but to accept them, sorta like these new Wall st super-monopolies that are "too big to fail." And then there's the NAFTA Super Hwy with all it's tentacles connecting the population to deep sea ports in Mexico where Chinese shipping containers unloaded. I know I get everything, but it's already too long to memorize. Besides you've witnessed the fall just as I have. I raised 6 kids with a stay-at-home mom; who can afford to do that today? Gay rights, same-sex marriages, abortion-on-demand, citizens being tazered, cops getting away with murder, pols lining their pockets with tax dollars, etc. The govt that represents US has mandated we drive smaller cars, and outlawed Thomas Edison's light bulb. They are taking control of the Internet in the next 2 years, letting the current Internet "whither on the vine." In less than 4 months, you will will not be able to pick up free TV on the airwaves without purchasing a $70 converter. How much the cost of cable TV is scheduled to increase, is anyone's guess. Doesn't it make you wonder, who's side they are on? To them the constitution is like Henry Paulson's Bail Out plan. He gave Bush a single page outline, who gave a 3-page presentation to the House, who wrote a 110 page bill for the Senate to approve. The Senate declined. They re-wrote the bill, and returned it to the House with over 450+ pages of incumbent re-election assurance included---and the president signed it gladly. This is like something you'd expect from another Paulson, Pat Paulson could have done something with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Paulsen If anybody knows how 5% of Americas mortgages going bad can bring the international banking system to a halt, please let me know. As for the Constitution, the legitimate congressional powers are enumerated in the 10 sections of Article I. FYI. That's about 10 double-spaced pages in my pocket sized copy of the Constitution. The Founders failed to give the govt the power it exercised above. Now the good news is, Paulson only got a mere $700,000,000 of the trillion or two he said was required. The bad news is, there's an election in 2 weeks, and a chance someone like Franklin Raines and/or Jamie Gorlick will be in charge of dishing out the the money to ACORN and La Raza next year. Fannie Mae's Patron Saint http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122091796187012529.html COLIN POWELL CONFIRMS BIDEN'S PREDICTION: Barack to be tested. http://www.infowars.net/articles/october2008/211008Powell.htm I've heard 2 different scenarios about this. 1.) As the new president, Barack will be tested with an international crisis, e.g., like JFKs Cuban Bay of Pigs Disaster, A Russian invasion of Georgia or nearby republic, or even an attack on Israel. 2.) or, if you read his words carefully, he may be calling for mandatory national service by citizens. Could be either, or neither. And the Final Question. R U ready to march now? If so, you're on your own. Barely 2 dozen readers offered to join me on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC where we would burn our voting cards on the first Tuesday in November. Plan B will be announced early next week. [EMAIL PROTECTED] B.H.O. Barack Obama is in Hawaii visiting his 86-year-old grandmother who is recovering from injuries sustained when she was thrown under the bus. PRICE OF GAS Current gasoline price, $2.43, just one thin dime more than when the gas shortage announcement was declared. What happened to the speculators?
