Barney Franks announced he will not see reelection... Prayer do get answered and this is another example...
This man has done more harm to our country in the past 15 years than most of us will ever know. As Head of the House Committee for Fannie MAY and Freddie MAC he is really the single person who led us into the housing disaster that in turn led our country into financial crisis. I remember the White House back int he mid 90's going before his committee and warning that a house crisis was looming. I remember him saying" There is not housing problem. We are just making sure that anyone who wants a house can afford one." Really, anyone who wants a house can have one the only thing is scum bag failed to understand is a person must be able to pay for the mortgage. But then he knew all along that congress would bail them out and who cares if it might bankrupt our country, we will just tax the working class.
He has blatantly pushed his gay agenda and abused his power. Hundreds of million of our tax dollars have gone to his cronies and you and I the American Tax payers have and will continue to foot the bills for his miss use of power. If congress would police their own and the media would do their investigative role, this man would have been run out of town by now. But instead he and his gang of thieves will have the luxury of living the good life on our dollars.
He is not running because he know the public is slowly beginning to know just who he really is and how poor a job he did while in congress.
When he lost control on his House committee a great cancer was removed from American.

WHO IS THIS MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE _ REALLY Who IS HE?
I have thought about this - Where are Obama's past girlfriends? Surely he had at least one. No past girl friends popping up anywhere? Strange - strange to the point of being downright weird!
This is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country,
especially American citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even know that
Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy
wore a back brace, or Truman played the piano.
We are Americans! Our media vets these things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.
Honestly, and this is a personal thing... but it's bugged me for years that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity.
We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton-we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?
Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of what we know... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.
Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos?
Every president provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada - other than what was in this so-called biography! And experts who study writing styles etc. claim it was not O's own words or typical of his speech patterns, etc.
Does this make any of you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie titled, The Manchurian Candidate?
Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face... someone
remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him. Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his
records? Do you like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable - even though no one can?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted over 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but not one remembers him. For example,Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at Columbia , who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia ... EVER!
Nobody recalls him.
Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that.. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."
At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia .
How can this be?
NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions.
Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?
According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama - but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases..
WHAT!?
The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school... before he "reorganized"
Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and
speaking pizzazz.
One of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen, and getting away with it. This is scary on many levels! He's the most dishonest deceiving liar to ever darken the White House!!!

Dear Ms. Pelosi:
I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.
I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam, as my son did in the Middle East. I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.
You obviously havent read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCulloughs book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.
I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your public service. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husbands investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payers expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States; you only subtract therefrom.
I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husbands canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.
I await your defeat in the next election with glee.
Dont ever use the term un-American again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded. By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60s and 70s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American But at the same time, I have the right to write you to notify you that I consider you to be un-American, as do the majority of the people of this formerly great country. You are a true disgrace to most of the people who served this country by offering themselves for public service in the United States Congress.
I feel certain your aides will not share this letter with you, but I intend to share it with many.

SIMPLY AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT
INTRIGUING OR AMAZING ???
Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?
And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!
Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a 9 iron from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.
Not only that, they know which wedge!
And, each and every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates
on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.
Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for over two years, yet this very same press:
• Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;
• Or find any of Obama's high school or undergrad college classmates;
• Or locate any of his college papers or grades;
• Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education
* Or explain why he applied for college aid as a foreign student, then denied he was a foreigner.
• Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;
• Or even find (release) Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.
They just can't seem to uncover any of this. Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the truth.
Don’t you find that amazing?

AARP's Fall From Grace
AARP's Fall from Grace!
I find this very interesting reading, so let's keep it going if you agree.. It
only takes a few days on the Internet and this will have reached 75% of the
public in the
USA . Seniors need to stand up for what is right, not what the
politicians want or big Corporations want.
This letter was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of AARP.
THIS LADY NOT ONLY HAS A GRASP OF 'THE SITUATION' BUT AN INCREDIBLE COMMAND OF
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!
Dear Mr.
Rand,
Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in
AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this
is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a
microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.
While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long
admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse its
abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on
AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer
of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents
neither an impartial
view nor the one we
have come to embrace.
We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented
to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term
goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy
which spawned our 200 years of government.
Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We
also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we
could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging
which we no longer enjoy. The
Socialist politics practiced by the Obama Regime
and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical
insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!
We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding
forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a
great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of
knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our
membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without
threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.
This Obama Regime scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves,
but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our
children
and grandchildren.
Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic
cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never in my life
endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to
them. I don't have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their
existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance
to the
voice of the Socialist mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great
stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to
embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the
responsibilities it requires.
Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication
in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? The illegal perpetrators have broken into our
'house', invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has
insisted we keep these illegal perpetrators in comfort and learn the
perpetrator's language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.
I DON'T choose to welcome them.
I DON'T choose to support them.
I DON'T choose to educate them.
I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.
American home invaders get arrested.
Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American
soil that Americans do not get?
Why do
some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have
to break & enter to be welcomed?
We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging
over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a
politician on caffeine overdose. Of
all the many good folks he enjoyed on this
last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current Regime.
One of us is out of touch with mainstream
America .
Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than ones
that are driven by a need to yield AMNESTY. (aka - make voters out of the
foreign lawbreakers so they can vote to continue the government's free
handouts). This addition of 10 to 20 Million voters who then will vote to
continue Socialism will OVERWHELM our votes to control the government's free
handouts. It is a "slippery slope" we must not embark on!
As Margret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of Great Britain) once said
"Socialism is GREAT -
UNTIL you run out of other people's money".
We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will
encourage them to do the same... With several hundred in my address book, I have
every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement
to you.
I am disappointed as all get out !!!!
I am more scared than I have ever been in my entire life !!!
I am ANGRY!
I am MAD as h---, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!

politician on caffeine overdose. Of
all the many good folks he enjoyed on this
last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current Regime.
One of us is out of touch with mainstream
America .
Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than ones
that are driven by a need to yield AMNESTY. (aka - make voters out of the
foreign lawbreakers so they can vote to continue the government's free
handouts). This addition of 10 to 20 Million voters who then will vote to
continue Socialism will OVERWHELM our votes to control the government's free
handouts. It is a "slippery slope" we must not embark on!
As Margret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of Great Britain) once said
"Socialism is GREAT -
UNTIL you run out of other people's money".
We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will
encourage them to do the same... With several hundred in my address book, I have
every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement
to you.
I am disappointed as all get out !!!!
I am more scared than I have ever been in my entire life !!!
I am ANGRY!
I am MAD as h---, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!

Occupy Wall Street - Who Parented These People
Good article but to me it is just what happens to a lot of kids who go through the educational system today... If we, parents, do not teach them how America operates then they come out just like these kids, waiting for someone to hand it to them.
Couple that with the hand out programs that approx half of America lives on today is it any wonder they expect life to be handed to them.
We have a huge change to go through to avoid ended up like most of Europe. We have seen all of this play out in France, England, Germany etc and yet we did nothing to avert it 10 years ago when we could have... Now going to be a lot of pain to go through. Communism does not work, Marxism did not work, Socialism is failing in Europe and other places around the world... Capitalism in the US is on the brink of
a collapse and we have to act now and take some hard cuts to turn it around. Riots and unrest will all be part of it. Sad to see the US have to face what Europe is having to do... I mean really we the people know better and yet we let the folks we sent to our State and Federal government fail us and our country... Shame of them and shame on us if we allow it continue.
We need to get our selves organized and ready to change things come Nov 2012...

Call it an occupational hazard, but I can’t look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, “Who parented these people?”
As a culture columnist, I’ve commented on the social and political ramifications of the “movement” - now known as “OWS” - whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: “Everything for everybody”.
Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it’s clear there are people with serious designs on “transformational” change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel.
Yet it’s not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact that I’m the mother of four teens and young adults. There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters’ moms clearly have not passed along.
Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters’ mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn’t, so I will:
• Life isn’t fair. The concept of justice - that everyone should be treated fairly - is a worthy and worthwhile moral imperative on which our nation was founded. But justice and economic equality are not the same. Or, as Mick Jagger said, “You can’t always get what you want.”
No matter how you try to “level the playing field,” some people have better luck, skills, talents or connections that land them in better places. Some seem to have all the advantages in life but squander them, others play the modest hand they’re dealt and make up the difference in hard work and perseverance, and some find jobs on Wall Street and eventually buy houses in the Hamptons. Is it fair? Stupid question.
• Nothing is “free.” Protesting with signs that seek “free” college degrees and “free” health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and hospitals don’t operate on rainbows and sunshine. There is no magic money machine to tap for your meandering educational careers and “slow paths” to adulthood, and the 53 percent of taxpaying Americans owe you neither a degree nor an annual physical.
While I’m pointing out this obvious fact, here are a few other things that are not free: overtime for police officers and municipal workers, trash hauling, repairs to fixtures and property, condoms, Band-Aids and the food that inexplicably appears on the tables in your makeshift protest kitchens. Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum.
• Your word is your bond. When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt, you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others. Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them. No one forces you to borrow money; you are free to choose educational pursuits that don’t require loans, or to seek technical or vocational training that allows you to support yourself and your ongoing educational goals. Also, for the record, being a college student is not a state of victimization. It’s a privilege that billions of young people around the globe would die for - literally.
• A protest is not a party. On Saturday in New York, while making a mad dash from my cab to the door of my hotel to avoid you, I saw what isn’t evident in the newsreel footage of your demonstrations: Most of you are doing this only for attention and fun. Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and political change don’t dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don’t seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.
• There are reasons you haven’t found jobs. The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting. Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn’t a virtue. Occupy reality: Only 4 percent of college graduates are out of work. If you are among that 4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It’s not them. It’s you.
Ed.'s Note: And their mothers likely directed them to a college that doesn't teach or understand Capitalism. The ones that do teach it are few and far between.
