FW: Stimulus in America?

Thanks to Danny C in San Antonio

-----------------------------------------

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition
TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn ' t that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to
China .
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer, it will go to India .
If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras
and Guatemala .
If you buy a car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to
management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money in America by:

1 spending it at yard sales, or
2 going to ball games, or
3 spending it on prostitutes, or
4 beer or
5 tattoos.

(These are the only American businesses still operating in the US .)

Conclusion: Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at
a yard sale and drink beer all day.

From the ER Doctor's perspective......

Thanks to Ellen H -
--------------------------------

(Dr. Jones is from Pontotoc, MS.)
This was a "letter to the editor" in yesterday's Jackson, MS newspaper.

"During my last shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a
patient with a shiny new gold tooth,
multiple elaborate tattoos and a new cellular telephone equipped with
her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.
Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status:
Medicaid.
She smokes a costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has
money to buy beer.
And our president expects me to pay for this woman's health care?

Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals,
doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture - culture in which it is
perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care
of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what we sow.

NYC's Helmsley Hotel tells Ahmadinejad to beat it..... (LOL)

Nice to see someone stand up to the liberal lunacy that has been running rampant in this country for months (if not years.)

NYCs upscale Helmsley Hotel abruptly cancelled an Iranian student groups event upon finding out that the radical fanatical leader of Iran would be present:

"Neither the Iranian Mission nor President Ahmadinejad is welcome at any Helmsley facility. The Helmsley organization is grateful to United Against Nuclear Iran for bringing this matter to its attention so that appropriate action could be taken."

Hooray to the Helmsley Hotel for standing firm and taking a stand against this boorish half-wit

FW: John Stossel is moving to Fox.....

John Stossel is moving to Fox – Can you blame him?

        ==============================

http://townhall.com/columnists/JohnStossel/2009/09/16/im_moving_to_fox

“It's interesting to explore the premises here. I have been one of the few reporters on mainstream network TV who did not hide his political beliefs. Viewers know I am for individual liberty and the free market, and against government coercion. I thought that this candor might earn me some credit from those who disagree with me. After all, by putting my views out there, everyone can judge my reports accordingly.

But -- surprise! -- it did not win me much credit with those who disagreed. Instead, many act as if I am the only reporter who has an ideology.

Of course, that's absurd. Every reporter has political beliefs. The difference is that I am upfront about mine. “

Remember the national media account of several thousand Tea-party protestors in the Capitol on Sept 12 -- Here's the Capital Protest in detail

Thanks Danny C in San Antonio!

=======================================================================

I WONDER IF IT EVEN REGISTERED WITH THE LEFT WING DEMOs.
Did you see this on TV? didn't think so ..... look at this and tell me, are you sick of the media yet?


=======================================================================

Here is the real skinny, but not from the San Antonio Express-News, where it should have been the total front page section on that mass demonstration and historical event at the U.S. Capitol building in WDC on this past Saturday, 9-12-09. However, we all know it got scant notice and writeup. Notice also the vast majority of the signs and posters shown are carried by the younger generation. Look out Congress!... The younger generation is on to your antics and they are not a commercial production, like those you see at ACORN - SEIU sponsored pro-Obama rallies we have seen thus far. Note that the link a few lines down is for the source web page. This is true reporting. And in my opinion, this is one e-mail that deserves the widest possible circulation ........................ I hope most of you can open this mail and forward it on!.....

Conservative Woodstock Rocks the Capital
Patriotic anti-big-government taxpayers blast through the million protester mark
September 12, 2009, Washington , D.C.


http://www.lookingattheleft.com/2009/09/conservative-woodstock-rocks-the-capital/


ABC News reports that two million Americans flooded D.C. in what people in the crowd were calling "a conservative Woodstock " Like the liberal Woodstock of the '60s, thousands were rumored stranded on freeways. Some walked in to DC, ditching their cars and busses. I walked with a 5 deep 6 block long column of protesters from Pennsylvania Avenue who had walked miles from where they had to leave their busses. Networks including Fox News continued through the time I'm writing this at 8 p.m. local Eastern time reporting that "tens of thousands" showed up. Whasup with that? When will we get some reliable reporting out of the corporate media types?

This event had been promoted as a taxpayer "tea party" but the crowd's concerns were wide ranging, from outrage at ACORN and Obama's socialist cadre known as Czars, to Obama's untruthfulness. Protesters also displayed signs mocking Nancy Pelosi and others for smearing the grassroots movement as "astroturfers" and as an angry mob.

_MG_0198
I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important historical event that it is. This is the first great conservative anti-statist manifestation in American history. The conservative movement, which developed in the post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured into the most significant political movement of the 21st century. I believe that this day could be referred to in the not too distant future as the day that changed America . This was the day the great silent conservative majority finally found its voice.

Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this being the first time in their lives they'd been involved in a protest movement. Their fears evaporated early in the day and I saw people reveling in the camaraderie , the joy and sheer civility that was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of "Freedom, freedom, freedom", "No more czars! No more czars!" carried through the air without the slightest hint of rancor or incivility which is the norm at the leftist rallies I have photographed over the years.

_MG_0199x
The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates attended. I saw signs and heard lots of comments comparing this event to Woodstock . At the time this photo was taken, around 1:00 p.m., Pennsylvania Avenue was still jammed completely, and the mall was packed from the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument . See aerial photos here <http://moderateinthemiddle.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/d-c-police-close-roads-to-buses-people-on-footestimate-1-2-millionl-abc-reports-2-million912-party-on-patriots/> .

_MG_0011-1-2
Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio , TX . He said that he was really sorry he hadn't brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who don't bow to the party line.

_MG_0239x These Ohioans took a day off their rodeo bullriding schedule. They said they'll be back at it tomorrow.
Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd: "After years of fighting runaway government on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening."

_MG_0094x
San Diego radio host Mason Weaver said from the podium: "I came here because I thought you might want to hear a black man speak without a teleprompter…This government is trying to make a nation of dependent people. Americans have always been independent people…This is not a Republican thing, it's not a Democrat thing. It's not a black thing or a white thing. It's an American thing…We the people are telling them 'No more! We've had enough!"

_MG_0272x
In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent – Can You Hear Us Now sign, you can see Pennsylvania Ave. , which at this time is totally blocked with protesters who cannot move forward to the Capitol area. Sorry, full up.

_MG_0216x
There were notable differences though, in the behavior of these attendees. Although the legend of Woodstock is that there was a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie, the truth is that most people were there for the drugs, sex and rock and roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst these people based on shared values and intellectual understanding of what America is and how its future is imperiled by big radical government.

No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no one projectile vomiting on the steps of the Capitol. There were no warnings to avoid the bad acid which would send you on a trip to the hospital. Not just a different era, but a different level of civilized behavior and thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didn't leave tons of garbage behind when they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all.

World's #1 Crypto-Marxist. Endorsed by Fidel Castro: "The most powerful progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency." – GRANMA, Havana , May 26, 2008

Dictator Castro did indeed endorse Obama! Note that he used the word progressive to describe Barack? Well that's because the Libs gave the word liberalsuch a bad smell by their behavior and policies over the years that they had to abandon it. They started referring to themselves as progressives and figured no one would notice the word's communist pedigree. It means progress on the road to socialism and Castro understands it that way. Well shazzam Martha, look at that! The president really is a progressive just like NPR says !!

_MG_0222
Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-party goers of "carrying swastikas" implying that they are Nazi sympathizers or worse. This event was knee deep in hammers and sickles and words like "socialist" "communist" and "Marxist". It continues to fascinate me how the Democrat Party tolerates this without ever commenting on it. When will the MSM ask the questions about his The High One's communist buddies and endorsers? And why do people who absolutely loath the USA , like Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and Michael Moore worship at the alter of Obama? Well at least the communists who endorse him have no qualms about telling it like it is.

_MG_0298
Ever present at Tea Parties are Sons of Liberty re-enactors. The couple on the left is from Tennessee and the young lady on the right is not but she joined in the photo. The clothing for the couple was hand stitched by the lady on the left. And boy do they love America .

Jaw Breaker and the hunt for Bin laden

a still of 2004 Osama bin Laden videoImage via Wikipedia

I am currently reading a great non-fiction novel called Jawbreaker: The Attack on Bin Laden and Al Qaeda: A Personal Account by the CIA's Key Field Commander. It is an excellent read about the hunt for Osama Bin laden and is written by Gary Berntsen, the former field commander in charge of the hunt.

The book describes the actions and reactions, mistakes and out right interference by the CIA commanders and other government officials while Team Jaw Breaker attempted to capture Bin Laden before and after 9/11.

I highly encourage reading this book, both for its view of the inner workings of a field op as well as for the "cat and mouse" machinations of the US Government, the CIA and political infighting in general.

I only wish we had more folks like Gary Berntsen on our team. While checking out the Amazon.com website, I spotted an excellent quote by one of the prinicpals in this memoir. His words say it best: “Jawbreaker is a real page turner . . . Berntsen was the CIA’s ‘go to guy’ when it came to leading in Afghanistan, owing to his exceptional operational and leadership skills in situations involving the threat of immediate danger. Berntsen is brave and bold and a true American hero.” —Cofer Black, former Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center

Texas is a state of mind....

Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.- John Steinbeck

Subject: TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY - Thanks to Adrian Juarez of San Antonio, TX for forwarding the following immortal quote: "I am besieged with a thousand or more Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment and cannonade for 24 hours and have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded surrender at discretion otherwise the garrison is to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a canon shot and our flag still waves proudly over the wall. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism, of everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid with all dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due his honor and that of his country - VICTORY OR DEATH. - William Barrett Travis, Lt. Col Commander
March 2nd is TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY - Brave and honorable men have given all on our behalf. NEVER FORGET!! (Sent from the Grand Lodge of Texas)
