33 Minutes Is All We Have

If a nation were to launch a missile...a single missile at us, it would only take about 33 minutes for it to hit just about anywhere in the USA. Now imagine a chemical war head or a biological war head or even a nuclear war head attached to that single missile.

Now imagine multiple missiles. How would we defend ourselves? Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people would be killed or wounded.

Now imagine the two planes that hit the World Trade Center Towers in 2001 were missles instead of planes. Or imagine those planes had nuclear weapons on board. How many thousands more would have died that day?

There are nations that do not like the USA for good or bad reasons, really doesn't matter. Know they hate us and are actively working to find ways to harm us. Many of our so-called friends secretly do not like us and, if given the right opportunity, would turn on us.

Now imagine we had a way to defend ourselves against such attacks, but we did not. How would you feel? What would you say? Who would you blame?

Without a shield of some kind, we are wide open and you and me and our kids are vulnerable. What will it take for you to wise up, wake up and demand that we arm up?

Mexico is a huge danger to our freedom

You may be what the hell I mean by the title of this post. You are probably saying "Rod, how the hell can a third world country be of any danger to the great USA?" Well my friend, let me tell you.

Mexico is on the verge of melting down. Yes, that country and its current political state is on the verge of collapsing. And if that happens, where do you think a lot of Mexico's population is going to go for safety and opportunity?

They are going to flood across the border. They will cross at every point from Texas to California. No southern border state will be safe. And from there they will flood the rest of the USA.

If you think the current illegal immigration situation is a problem, you haven't seen anything should the Mexican government fall.

Right now, drug lords south of our border are in an all out war with the Mexican army and government. The biggest problem is that after years and years of corruption in Mexico, their military and police are very weak and full of corruption.

Drug Lords are terrorizing towns and openly taking on the military and police down there.

Now how does this affect you and me. Look at the state of California. They spent over 10 Billion Dollars last year supporting illegal immigrants. Think about it. That is a conservative estimate, too.

California is holding up income tax refunds to its residents because it doesn't have any cash. Yet they are spending billions on illegal immigrant. This issue is repeated all over the country. Almost every state in our union spends billions every year on illegals.

We don't have a responsible illegal immigration policy and thus, if Mexico melts down and a flood of people cross our open borders, then our states will be pressed even more to pay for these people. That is money that is coming out of your pocket, out of my pocket, out of our childrens' pockets.

So my question is, where is our immigration policy on this? Where is the wall and fence that has been approved on the border with Mexico? Why is it we have so many of our Law Makers that don't want to do a thing about this mess?

We cannot ignore that Mexico presents a clear and present danger to the USA. If not from the illegals of Mexico and other Central and South American nations, then from those who would intend to do us harm. They can easily cross the southern border and they have. There have been many, many reports of captures of Islamic Extremist crossing the Mexican/USA border.

So far we have avoided the inevitable bullet. But for how long? How can we as a free people, stand for our leaders ignoring this issue? How can we as a free people allow and re-elect leaders that want to open our borders even more?

Although Mexico may melt down and that is a dangerous thing, it is probably the American voter who is more dangerous. We vote the idiots who do nothing into office. We keep voting them into office even when they refuse to do anything or even propose laws that open border or prevent law enforcement agencies from doing their jobs.

As the most powerful and most prosperous nation on the planet right now, we are the number one target for all kinds of things even if we were to revert back to pre 1917 politics and get out of the world's business. There is no turning the clock back on this.

We have always been the land of opportunity and freedom and that is why so many love us and hate us. That is why so many will risk death trying to get here to live among us or to kill us. Yet we think that if we are "nice" that people will love us and obey our laws. You would be wrong and the proof in what I say is what is happening now.

It is time that you and I put heavy, heavy pressure on our leaders to close the borders, round up illegals and deport them and stop paying for those who are here illegally. It is the only way to protect our nation, our children and our grandchildren.

We are nothing but the caretakers of this land for our children and grandchildren. Our posterity depends on us to protect what was given to us so they will have the opportunity to live and enjoy as well. We cannot be so selfish as to only think about ourselves right now and forget about the future. We will end up suffering and more importantly so will our descendants.

Mexico is giving us a wake up call. A calm before the storm if you will. The raging storm is coming and we have no plan to prevent, protect and recover from such a storm. And that is a great danger to our way of life. We have been warned. Will we heed the warning or will be go the way of other great civilizations of history? The choice is ours, for now. But if we do nothing, then that choice will be made for us and we will not like that choice I can guarantee you.

I predicted this some time ago.

Yes I predicted this. It is a prediction I had hoped would never come true. But it looks like this prediction is well on its way to becoming fact. It has to do with California and its Proposition 8 initiative that was passed by the voters of that state back on November 4, 2008.

Now I have said that liberals would attempt to make the Constitution ruled unconstitutional. Low and behold, the CA Attorney General now is urging the CA State Supreme Court to rule that this voter passed Constitutional Amendment be ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Yahoo News reports that Jerry Brown, the states Attorney General, is urging the Court to rule this vote and amendment unconstitutional. This is ridiculous. If the CA Supreme Court rules that a particular part of the their Constitution is unconstitutional, then there is nothing in the Constitution that is safe. There is nothing, no right, no amendment that can be reversed or eliminated by a judge. We the People mean nothing and we are in grave danger.

Of course, some on the left are saying this is a retroactive amendment and law because that Supreme Court ruled that gays could get married. Well if the Court accepts that argument, then Civil rights could be reversed based on the same argument. Slavery could be reversed based on the same argument because slavery was upheld by courts prior to their being an amendment abolishing it.

This may sound extreme but thing about it. Not to mention, the Federal Government would have to give back billions of dollars because of the retroactive tax President Bill Clinton proposed and signed into law back in the mid 90's.

This has got to be one of the most dangerous arguments yet that attacks the very core and foundation of our Constitution. You cannot strike down a Constitutional amendment. The courts have no jurisdiction in that area. In fact the Constitution gives us specific instructions on how to amend it and who has the power to amend it. The courts have no power to amend or change the constitution. It is solely in the hands of the people and their elected representatives.

The people of CA legally voted on this proposition. Like the outcome or not, it was legal and the only way to change it is to amend it again. If the courts decide to amend this amendment, it will set a precedence that will tear our nation apart and put every state constitution and our Federal Constitution on the chopping block.

Even if you don't live in California, you need to make your voice heard on this. We cannot allow a minority to totally undermine and ruin our great nation. This cannot be allowed to stand. Your liberty and freedom is now in jeopardy, just as I predicted some time ago. Do you want a judge to decide the fate of our nation, your life? I didn't think so.

A French man lectures Americans

You know America has to be the most wonderful place on the planet when you have other nations praising the American people for electing a half African, born and partially raised Muslim to the office of President.

Oh now don't get in a tizzy. Look at the facts not your feelings. Barack was born to a white American woman and an African Kenyan who was a Muslim. Now in the world of the Muslim, that makes the child a Muslim. And indeed Barack attended Muslim schools up until his return to the USA at the age of about 10. So don't get on me about saying Barack is half Muslim because the facts are the facts.

Do I believe he is a Christian now? Well, I have to take him at his word and the fact that he sat in a racist Christian church for about 20 years. But that does not mean he has broken his ties with his Muslim heritage. In fact many of his relatives on his fathers side still reside in Kenya and still are Muslims. It is very hard to totally disregard you childhood and your early training.

But that is not the real topic of this article. The real topic is how the whole world now views the USA in a different light because we elected Obama. How about this story by Ethan Bronner out of Gaza City, Gaza Strip. For those of you that don't know where that is, look on your world map and locate Israel. Now look to the west and you will find Gaza Strip. Yes it looks like a strip. Thus the name.

But again I digress. Ethan writes in an article titled “Around the World, Many See an Ideal Renewed.” An ideal RENEWED? Ethan starts his article thus:

“From far away, this is how it looks: There is a country out there where tens of millions of white Christians, voting freely, select as their leader a black man of modest origin, the son of a Muslim. There is a place on Earth – call it America – where such a thing happens.”

OK, now this is just so wrong on so many levels. I don't even know where to begin. How about the fact that Barack got about 60 million votes and of that tens of millions of those votes were cast by non whites. Do the people of the middle east think that the USA is made up of 300 million white people? Come on, we are talking about people who want to rid the world of some other white people called Jews and they have nerve to lecture us about human rights?

Now I wont rewrite the whole article here but there is another point in the article that really frosted me. “Even where the United States is held in special contempt, like here in this benighted Palestinian coastal strip, the “glorious epic of Barack Obama,” as the leftist French editor Jean Daniel calls it, makes America – the idea as much as the actual place – stand again, perhaps only fleetingly, for limitless possibility.”

Hey Jean Daniel, the very existence of the USA is due to the limitless possibility of its people and its government ideals. America has been an actual place for over 200 years and we have stood the test of time while your very own nation has gone through, what, three forms of government.

Are we in the USA going to have to deal with what the rest of the world thinks of us? Seriously, will Obama bend to the will of the world and change our nation to look more like the failed governments of the world?

Hey Jean Daniel, people are dying and risking life and limb to get into the USA. They travel through the desert heat of the day and the freezing cold in the dark of night to get here. They build shanty floating craft to cross great expanses of water to get here. The float clinging to the side of rafts with their children huddling in the middle of that raft in order to get here. The last time I checked, people were not flocking to France or most other nations on this planet. We have had one stable government for over 200 years while your left leaning country has had three. And you have nerve to tell us that we are now living up to our ideal as a nation. Give me a break. We have always lived up to our ideals as a nation. That is evidenced by the scores of people who flock here legally and illegally.

What scares me is that Barack may be more interested in how these leftist idiots view us instead of how we Americans want to see ourselves. We are not beholden to the world. Screw humility for a moment. We are the nation that saved the whole damned world, TWICE! And we need to listen to some leftist jerk tell us how to run our nation, how to live?

No my friends, liberty and freedom is not dictated by those who wish to limit them. Liberty and freedom is fought for and protected by those who hold it dear. That someone over the last century has been the USA. No other nation on the planet has ever done more to advance the cause of freedom than the USA. No other nation in history has accomplished what the USA has especially in such a short period of time.

But we have those who wish us to be more like them. Less free. Less open. Less prosperous. But that is not America. That is not the ideal of the USA where opportunity is limitless. Yes, in our nation, a half African can indeed become President.

And to think, we did all of this when France could not even keep its borders safe, its people safe, its government in tact. And now this arrogant, leftist idiot dares to say we now are fulfilling our ideal because we may have elected a Muslim sympathizer? I tell you to look as France right now and you will see they are having a very hard time with an overflowing population of Muslims? Is this what Jean Daniel wants for our nation as well?

I think, unlike most nations on earth, America is a place where any race, religion, nationality, creed has a chance at producing a man or woman to become President. We are a people that continues to grow simply because we love freedom and liberty. And we see that everyone deserves to experience and live in that freedom and liberty. We believe it so strongly that we are willing to die to help others get that freedom and liberty.

I guess Jean Daniel would prefer that the USA would be more like France or some Middle Eastern Nation. But if we were, who would come to the rescue of France and free them from the tyranny of some tyrant that wishes to rule over them with an iron fist? Maybe the nation of Egypt would suite his needs of an open society better. Somehow I don't see Egypt or any other nation rushing to save France and Jean Daniel from tyranny any time soon.

Guess we better keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave so we can save human rights across the world so that Jean Daniel has the freedom to say stupid stuff like this and so Ethan Bronner can write articles of absurdity such as this.

God bless America for America has definitely blessed the world.

The Dawn of a New Era? Not likely

It has taken me a day to absorb the reality of what is President-elect Barack Obama. Now don't get me wrong. I knew in my gut that because Sen. McCain ran such a weak campaign that Obama would probably win so it was not such a shock to me when he did.

It was the realization that as our nation threw a temper tantrum at President Bush, they willingly handed control of our nation to Extremist, Socialist and Marxist. Yes I said it.

People thing President Bush did damage to our Constitution (and he did) just wait until Obama and his buddies along with Michelle Obama get hold of the reins of leadership. This could be one of the most bumpy rides our nation has seen since the civil war.

Why do I predict such dire circumstances? History. History has taught us, if you bother to read history, that certain things do not work in our nation or in any nation. Yet Obama and the gang are determined to repeat history.

Why is this? Do they really hate America? Do they secretly hate you and me, the average "Joe the Plumber?" No they don't. I really and truly believe they don't. They DO hate the fact that we are so successful and other nations are not. They do think it is unfair.

They also truly believe they know whats best for you and your family. They also want to control you and your family. Why else would they come out with laws that limit your freedom, your choice, take money from you in the form of taxes, etc? Is it because they love you? No they don't love you. They love power. And they love the country as they would like to see it, not as it is.

You see, it is unfair that France, China, England, Russia and other nations that are centuries older than the USA not have the same prosperity as we have. It is unfair that in less than 200 years we would become a world super power. It is unfair that we have things that other nations do not have. It is unfair that we are so rich when other nations are so poor.

Liberals, Socialist and Marxist see the worlds wealth and product as finite. The only way we can have more is if we take from someone else. This of course if stupidity at its highest level, but that is what they believe.

Listen to Obama talk about "spreading the wealth around". If Obama believed wealth was infinite, then there would be no need to spread the wealth around. He would believe that the best way to end poverty would be to help the poor and middle class get educated and create there own jobs, businesses, investment, etc in order to produce their own wealth. Instead he believes that the only way to elevate the poor is to take from the rich and then give it to the poor.

Never mind that this ideal has never worked through out the history of mankind. Never mind that almost every modern nation that has tried such a thing has failed and has now adopted some form of capitalism. Never mind that many nations are giving their people more freedom and relaxing government control and regulations. Never mind the fact that the USA already has the highest Corporate tax rates in the world. It does not matter.

It does not matter to them because they are gods. They are smarter than you or I. They know best. And those countries and leaders all throughout history were not smart enough to make their ideas work. But Palosi, Reed and Obama are smart enough to make these failed ideas work.

There is a famous saying "the true definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result each time." This is what our Liberal pals in Congress think. This is what Obama thinks.

Am I depressed? No I am not. Am I concerned? Yes I am. Don't get me wrong, I truly hope that Obama does the right thing and we prosper as a nation. But I know Liberals and Socialist. I know what Obama and his gang want to do. I know history has shown that their ideas are abysmal failures.

So what am I going to do? First I am going to dump my 401k. There is no way I am giving the government control over the money that I have saved and invested. And neither should you. I will have to look at this proposal that Nancy Palosi has a little closer to determine where to put my money but it will not be in any vehicle that the government gets to control. Yes, I will take the penalty and tax hit before I let Obama and the gang totally destroy my savings.

I am going to hoard cash. Yes I am going to save my money and invest in things that are not so volatile such as precious metals. After all, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Nickle have never been worth zero. I will invest in money market funds and high yielding CD's and maybe even government bonds. No not treasury notes but municipal bonds.

If a recession does come on full force, I will refuse to participate by working my tale off to provide products and services that people want and are willing and able to pay for.

Until the government tells me what job I must do, they will not be able to keep me from doing what I want to do and becoming as successful as I want to be. This is still America after all. And there will always be those who wish to control me and you so they will always make stupid laws that have legal loop holes in them. I am free to exploit those loop holes and I will and so should you.

I will cling to my guns and my religion and I will be free because that is what God and our Constitution intended for us to be.

I guess that is why I live in a state where the motto is "Live Free or Die!" That's right people. Give me liberty or give me death.

In his own Words Part 2 and 3 and...

Obama doesn't care about taxes. He doesn't care about government revenue. He doesn't care who he hurts. He only wants things to be "fair" so he will raise taxes no matter how much higher taxes will hurt the treasury.




He admits that tax hikes would hurt the economy. So if the economy were strong then he would hurt it by raising taxes. Now if the whole idea is to make things fair and to pay as you go, would it not make sense, using the Obama logic, to raise taxes? In the spot above, Obama says it is not about putting money in the Treasury, it is all about fairness.



Obama thinks that paying more taxes is neighborly. And he thinks that even though lower taxes brings in more money to the treasury, the rich can afford to pay more than the lower classes but that is not class war fair. Who is this guy kidding.



When it comes to national defense, Obama doesn't know what he is talking about. He shows that he is a freshman Senator. He shows that he does not understand the dangers that we as a nation faces or that he does not really care about those dangers.



I could go on and on to show you that in his own words, Obama proves himself to be ill equipped to lead our great land. He is sorely lacking in the stature to make tough decisions. He is a socialist at best and a Marxist at worst. He wants class war fair to be inflamed to a level not before seen in our nation.

Don't listen to what others say about Obama, listen to what he says. He goes against history and statistics that prove he is wrong. He is arrogant and naive to think that even the smallest of nations pose no threat to our safety and survival. He hides his true beliefs. He hides who he is. He tries to shut the opposition up. He is against the Constitution. He will punish success.

All of this and more, Obama says and proves himself with no help from anyone else. How can you or anyone else vote for such a dangerous man? I cannot and I will not. Obama does not deserve your vote. And that is the truth.

This guy is almost as cool as I am

You heard it right. This guy is almost as cool as I am. He is absolutely just as political incorrect as I am. But I have to admit, I am better looking. :) But seriously this guy should be my VP running mate. Can you imagine two Constitution loving conservative black men running our nation? Now that is a dream MLK could march all the way back from Heaven for.



http://haloscan.com/tb/martinft/1773783997286273233

There is no doubt that not all people of color believe in or support Sen Obama. In fact let me put this to rest for all of you out there. Obama is not black. He is half white and half AFRICAN. He has no slave blood in him. He is a half breed. (I can say that because I am of mixed race myself)

This man spent formative years outside of the USA. He does not have your interest at heart. He wants power. He wants to rob you of your freedom. He wants socialism. He wants to take the USA down the road of failure.

Make no mistake about it. Obama is one of the biggest mistakes the people of this nation has allowed to rise to the top of our political system.

Think, and then go vote. And vote for freedom and the Constitution of the USA.

God Bless, God Speed and God save the USA.

Correction on Post

This is the video that everyone needs to view before November 4, 2008.



This is scary for sure. But what is more scary is the fact that this guy could get elected. Do you liberty and freedom loving citizens really want that? Then get out and vote and get your friends, family and co-workers to get out there and vote and vote for McCain. He is by far the lesser of two evils.

God Bless and God SAVE America!

The Nightmare is Just Begining

I have believed in freedom all my life. I have even had my life put in danger in the defense of that freedom. I will never stand and let someone tell me to my face that he wants to degrade my freedom, my families freedom, my country's freedom.

America is on the verge for the first time in our history of electing someone who has promised to take away our freedom and load our courts with judges that will systematically dismantle the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I wish this was just rhetoric. I wish I was just being an alarmist. I only wish.

Let the messiah tell you in his own words:

http://www.myspace.com/studentsofamerica http://studentsofamericaformccain.blogspot.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/StudentsofAmerica

Vote! Vote for freedom! Vote for your freedom! Vote for the Constitution! You must vote and vote the right way. If you vote wrong, people, then we are on the road that Ancient Rome was on...the road to our own destruction. And that is historical fact.

Our Founding Fathers warned of us of people like this. Now your voice, my voice is about to be silenced with the wrong vote.

On Tuesday, November 4, 2008 vote for freedom. That is a vote that is never wrong.

Im Right on Obama. Prove Im Wrong

I was taking the entire summer off. But this Obama thing has really got me in a tizzy to coin an old fashioned term. I am still waiting for someone...anyone to tell me exactly why they support this man for President of the United States of America.

All I can get in reply is sound bites. “He will change things.” “He will end the war (battle) of Iraq.” “He will make the world love us again since GW has the world hating us.” I ask how he plans on doing this and people actually get mad at me.

They call me a racist. Then I have to point out to them I am a black man so by their own definition I cannot be a racist. Then they call me a Bush lover and I point out how many things I disagree with GW on including most of the Patriot Act.

Then they claim I am just blind and stupid and I have to point out that I know that there only 50 States in our Union not 57 as Obama has once claimed. So that leaves me with the burning question. What does this guy stand for? What do his supporters know about him and why the hell do they support him.

Lets face it. This guys is a racist. He hates half of himself. Yes people, he is not a “Black” man. He is half white. His mother is ALL white. That makes him HALF white and HALF black. He is also not a descendant of slaves as most blacks in this country are. He grew up in a rather privileged life. By that token, since I am the son of a career military man, I also did not really grow up in the inner city. Although I have spent a few years of my life living in a city called Buffalo, NY. I attended public school number 31 in that city for part of my 1^st and 4^th grade and all of my 8^th grade years. Do I know what its like to live and play and be scared in such an environment? Yes I do.

Barry has not had to deal with such things. Yet he will run around and tell Europe that our country has never been represented by someone who looks like him before. What about Secretary Powell and Secretary Rice? I guess they are not “black” enough. But then I would argue that those two Americans are more black than Barry.

What about the men and women of our military who are black? They represent our nation. And I am certain that most of them are far more black than Obama. In fact many of them come from the inner city.

Plus I have this issue with Barry making all kinds of simple mistakes. These exact same mistakes have labeled President Bush as an idiot. Yet Liberals still view Barry as brilliant. They make excuses for him like he has had little sleep. What the hell do you think the President does? You think he gets 10 hours of sleep every night?

Hell no. Being president is one tough job. Look at all the men who enter the office with full un-gray hair and leave 4 or 8 years later almost white haired. Its a tough job and you often get very little if any sleep. If this guy makes these kinds of mistakes while only on the campaign trail, what kind of really important mistakes will he make while sitting in the Oval Office?

Right now we take pot shots at his mistakes. But once he is in office, people will die for mistakes like that. This is serious folks. You have to think about the people of this country. You have to think about the two candidates realistically. No McCain is not an ideal candidate but we now have to go for the lesser of two evils.

Sorry to say that at this juncture it is McCain that is the lesser of two evils. Worse yet is that compared to Obama, McCain is a total Saint.

Oh, and I can say all this about Barry because I am black. I also am part Native American so I can speak for them as well. They don't want Barry in the White House either. Blacks only support him because he is black but he is not like them. And they lack the knowledge of history of the Democrat party as the racist pigs they truly are. Doubt me, then who blocked civil rights for over 100 years? The Democrat party.

I am more qualified to be president than Obama. And I am sorely under qualified. So where does that put him? You think I am wrong? Then tell me specifically why I am wrong. I dare you. I know you can't because you know I am right.

Immigration A Positional Paper

Immigration

Immigration is a huge problem in our country. For good reason too. First let me say that I am NOT against Immigration We are all either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Including the Native American people of which I am one.

The USA is a beacon of hope around the world. We stand for truth, justice, a better way of life. In short America stands for opportunity and just about everyone on this planet knows that. This is why we have people from nearly every nation on earth living within our borders. We are a great melting pot. We give those who are willing to work hard and smart the chance at a better life and even get rich.

I truly believe that America is humanity's last hope for freedom and survival. We enjoy freedoms here than many around the world can only dream about when they go to sleep at night. We enjoy such freedoms and opportunity that some people will try to subvert the very nation they wish to live and grow within.

I'm talking about illegal immigration. It is a huge problem we have and it must be stopped. We have laws on the books that take care of this so new laws or reform is not needed. What is needed is the enforcement of the laws already on the books. What we don't need is more laws that complicate things even more and we don't need more laws that won't be enforced.

We have ways for people to enter our nation legally. We have many ways. We have many ways in which people can legally stay in our country. We have ways of helping those who truly need it such as political asylum. However, we cannot help the entire world.

I have heard it estimated that some 2 billion of the worlds population would attempt to immigrate to the USA if they had a means to do so. Lets just say that number is high. Lets say only 25 percent of that 2 billion is the correct number. That means some 500 million people would like to call the USA home if they had the means to do so.

We obviously could not handle such an influx of humans in our country. If this number is correct and people wait for years for an opportunity to get here, why should we allow illegals to come here? Why should we reward illegals with benefits such as Social Security and education? Why should we not enforce the laws we have and punish those who come illegally and then why not reward those who enter legally?

Illegal immigration is not a good thing for our nation and the argument about cheap labor does not justify the breaking of our nations laws and codes. Besides there are plenty of people who come here legally who would want such jobs that illegals take. There are plenty of people who come here legally who would be happy to contribute to our society. Illegals to NOT contribute to a law abiding society. They take from it. They steal from it. They rape it.

We need to close the borders, track down and throw out all 12 million illegals and punish those who harbor or help these people. Then maybe we can increase the number of legal immigrants to our nation. After all, the USA likes to tout itself as a nation of laws. If this is the case then why not enforce those laws that were put in place to protect her and her citizens?
