USA Downgraded!

Obama Promises Things Will Get Better
Yesterday (before the downgrade) Obama had this to say: "What I want the American people and our partners around the world to know is this: We are going to get through this. Things will get better and we are going to get there together."

Since Standard and Poors downgraded the USA, Obama has been lying low at Camp David. One thing for sure. This downgrade reflects the failure of Obama's economic policies and the failure of Congress to get serious about fixing it.

Fire the Treasury Secretary
Tax cheat, Tim Geithner (Treasury Secretary) was quoted as previously saying the US would not receive a downgrade. Looks like Geithner was WRONG AGAIN. Geithner has been buying our debt from Ben Bernanke (Federal Reserve Chairman who prints money from thin air). These two called this process "Quantitative Easing" or QE 1 & QE 2.

Quantitative Easing is a euphemism for INFLATING the dollar! This explains why your food, clothing, and gasoline prices have been at record highs. INFLATION caused by printing and buying our own debt (The process is called "monetizing debt).

Isn't it time we finally hold Tim Geithner responsible for HIS actions? He never paid his income taxes owed until Obama gave him his job! Then for the past 30 months, he has bought our own debt causing record inflation.

Action To Take
Dump Geithner! Stop buying our own debt! Stop printing money out of thin air! Return to the GOLD standard! Audit the Federal Reserve Bank.

Ask yourself this question: Why is Congress on Vacation until mid-September?

Just Shut Up!

Talk to the Hand...
If you don't agree with me, then just SHUT UP! These are the sentiments of Senator John Kerry (D, MA). He stated on national TV that he believes that it's the media's "Responsibility" not to give the Tea Party equal time on the air.

Wow, and we almost elected this man to the Presidency!

1st Amendment
Free Speech? What's that? Apparently when Kerry took office and swore his oath to protect the US Constitution, he didn't READ the First Amendment. This alone should give just cause for the existence for the un-regulated Internet! Without it, having it Kerry's way, we wouldn't even know that there is a Tea Party.

John Kerry speaks like a true Progressive. HE knows what's good for you. You're too stupid to get it! This really shows his true colors - and they are more RED than white and blue! He apparently reads too much of Media Matters to even know there is ANOTHER perspective.

Senator Kerry, you're DISGUSTING and don't belong in the United States Senate!

IDIOTS Are STILL In Charge

The Debt Ceiling Is Fixed
Obama signed the debt ceiling "deal" as soon as it reached his desk. This immediately shot-up the national debt another $238 BILLION dollars. This is a BAD thing America.

The new debt makes our borrowing equal to the gross domestic product (GDP). Things are good for America when that ratio is 18% of the GDP. Now it's 100% of the GDP. Countries who are in dire financial straits have GDPs at 100% or over 100%. You really don't have to understand the mechanics, just know that now America is approaching GREECE in GDP ratios! (Greece is where they riot in the streets because the government cannot pay for their entitlements any longer).

But Don't Worry
Hey, nothing's wrong. Everything now is A-OK. Well, that may not be the case America. (Remember that politicians lie on a regular basis - especially before re-election time). You see, there may be some unintended consequences from this new legislation.

The new law creates a committee that will be in charge of proposing "cuts" in government spending if Congress cannot reach decisions on government spending. It is feared by many that this commission will place strong emphasis on cutting military spending. Hey, that makes sense - doesn't it? Sure, we are only fighting three wars at the same time. We can afford some military cutting! Congressional logic: Start with bullets?

The new legislation may also affect Obama's favorite legislation: ObamaCare! There are at least 17 provisions in ObamaCare that this newly created commission will have to cut! Too bad ObamaCare! I guess that's the price you pay when you pass legislation that you don't read!

The new legislation may push Standard and Poors and Moody into downgrading our credit ratings. This will have a severe impact on our economy. It will hit all of us in the wallets and perhaps push our economy into a DEPRESSION! We'll have to just wait and see because the people who give the ratings are not convinced that our Congress did anything significant to fix our problem.

There are other things that will be uncovered, but hey, it's only been law now for two days! This is what happens when the IDIOTS in Congress wait until the eleventh hour to try and "fix" the debt ceiling problem. Not only do we get NO CUTS, but we get a $2.4 TRILLION increase in government spending.

Warning Ohio Voters
Recall that Speaker of the House John Boehner (R,OH) was in charge of this DISASTER! He should take a big chunk of the responsibility for INCREASING the debt ceiling without any substantial cuts in entitlements. This does NOTHING to help resolve the problems - just postpone them until after the November 2012 elections!

Next time choose a Tea Party candidate to replace John Boehner in Congress. As for the rest of us, we too have a responsibility. If our Representatives voted for Boehner's bill to raise the debt ceiling without any REAL cuts, we need to vote for Tea Party candidates to replace the IDIOTS who are still there!

Disaster Preparedness

What Is & What Causes Hoarding?
Wikipedia says the hoarding is "a general term for a behaviour that leads people or animals to the accumulation of food or other items." Do not confuse this with compulsive hoarding which is thought by some to be a form of mental illness.

So why is this important to YOU? In times of civil unrest or natural disasters (like hurricane Katrina), people may collect or cache foodstuffs, gasoline, solar panels, generators, medical supplies, batteries, and water. Under those circumstances, there will be shortages of those items.

Food shortages will cause hoarding. People world-wide are already hoarding rice and wheat. In some countries they are already planning for a crisis of food shortages. Why? Half of the planet depends on rice and stocks of rices are at their lowest since the mid-1970s. This year's rice production will fall short of the global consumption of 430 million tons. Rice prices are up 115%.

Hoarding in bad times could save you and your family. If you take the trouble to secure the goods and products required for survival in advance, your chances of getting through a disaster are much better! And, if you secured the survival items in advance, the prices for those items will be considerably lower. You can purchase the items over time and not feel a dent in your wallet.

Are You Ready?
Here are a few tips on how to prepare.
  • Get a membership in BJ's, Cosco, Sam's Club etc...

  • Shop using prepared lists to avoid compulsive buying

  • Buy in bulk because it's cheaper. You can split orders with friends and family.

  • There is less packaging to bulk items. This makes storage easier.

  • Clip coupons and use them with promotional items.

  • Buy at liquidation stores (for example: Dollar Stores).

  • Make room for your purchases. Prove proper containers for your storage items.

  • Date/rotate food supplies to avoid spoilage.


This is enough to get you started. If you need more specifics look on Amazon.com. They have literally lots of books on survival. Some are good and some not so good. Look for titles written by Cody Lundin or go to his web site for more ideas.

Guest Article - We're Now Terrorists

Confessions of a Tea Party Terrorist
by Matt Patterson of bigovernment.com

"Well, apparently I’m a terrorist. At least according to the definition of a wide number of Congressmen, reporters, television personalities, and even – so it’s reported – the Vice President of the United States himself.

What did I do to earn this appellation? Insist that the government live within its means and support politicians who believe likewise. That’s it.

And for this, I am labeled – by officials of the United States government, no less – a terrorist.

Every dictionary I have consulted within the past 24 hours has defined terrorism as the use of “force” or “violence” to achieve political ends. Nowhere have I seen terrorism defined as “the peaceful negotiation of budgetary issues through lawfully elected representatives.” But there you go. Liberals have never met a definition they wouldn’t defile; never met a word they wouldn’t distort to suit their own twisted ends.

Actual terrorism? Understandable reactions to the racist imperialism of the warmongering West. Insisting that the government not spend more than it takes in? Unforgivable criminality. Welcome to Liberal Land; watch your step coming through that looking glass.

What’s really happening here, and I hope it is sinking in out there in the heartland, is that the government of the United States is declaring one half of the population criminal. Not just wrong. Not just misinformed. Criminal. After all, isn’t that what terrorists are? Enemies of the state? It hardly needs saying that this is always the first step toward outlawing beliefs or parties by tyrannical regimes – declaring them criminal.

The sad irony is that some of the cuts necessary for these politicians to reach the deal and declare victory have come at the expense of the Defense Department, all but ensuring that sometime soon an actual terrorist will slip through the cracks and do what actual, old-school terrorists do – kill people.

And you can bet that when that happens, these same sanctimonious liberals will fall all over themselves forgiving them."

What This Shows
This article shows that the Left does not - and never relies on logic or proof. They are always more concerned with the "touchy-feely-do good things." When they think they have lost an argument, they begin to name call and make unfounded allegations. If you lie often enough, people begin to think that it's the truth. That's their strategy here. They have no proof. They just accuse the Tea Party of being Terrorists! - even our Vice President!

Don't be fooled by their actions. And for God's sake, don't re-elect them again!

One Step Closer to Greece

Which Is Worse?
Death by firing squad or death by drowning? They both have the same results! So is it better to insist that the government stop spending immediately by 40% or is it better to raise the debt ceiling another $2.4 Trillion and stall making any decisions? The result is the same! DEATH of America! In this case, the problem gets pushed out a little longer, but in the end things will be disastrous.

Congress is Cheering
Congressional leaders (John Boehner and Mitch McConnell) are happy with the results of their "compromise." How ironic. Apparently we have all forgotten that President Obama originally proposed a budget back in February for a whopping $1.5 Trillion dollars. Even his own political party rejected it because it borrowed too much money.

Today we have worked-out a "compromise" bill that increases borrowing by $2.4 Trillion and this saves America! Does that make any sense to anyone? If it was unsustainable to borrow and spend $1.5 Trillion dollars last February, how can borrowing and spending $2.4 Trillion dollars be better in August? This is pure NONSENSE! It also shows that we seriously have IDIOTS representing the American people in Congress. AND, only 66 Republicans opposed it.

Kick-The-Can
The apparent theme song for the GOP and the DEMs is "Kick-The-Can." By postponing the debt problem until after the November elections, the American citizens will have forgotten the CRAP that Congress has just put us through. Yes, it will be business as usual in Washington. We saved Granny's Medicare and Social Security at the expense of our MILITARY! (The new "Debt Commission" will make the cuts as required). We know how effective government commissions are and how effective they will be. This is a travesty on the American people!

Who To Blame
Now the DEMs are calling the Tea Party Movement "Terrorists." Why? Because they wore-out calling us "racists" to the point that no one believes that any more. SO the Progressives have coined a new name to bad-mouth the Tea Party. It was the Tea Party that cause all this distention in the first place. They made such unreasonable demands on the system. Imagine this: The Tea Party wants smaller government. They want a balanced budget amendment. They want government to cut entitlement spending. Wow, these are really RADICAL ideas! Incidentally, these ideas don't promote the killing of anyone like terrorists do! - nor do they advocate it!

So Where Are We Now?
Obama is so happy he is peeing his pants! He got the GOP to raise the debt ceiling in the world's largest increase in the history of the USA! This is INSANE. The problem isn't 10 years from now. It's TODAY! We needed to make a stand today to cut spending and stop borrowing. Our "leaders" have failed at their jobs. Do NOT re-elect them into office. They are dismal FAILURES and have pushed America further into the abyss.

We cannot keep this up. We are becoming Greece and Washington doesn't care!

It's Time To Prepare America

Sold Down The River
The "Leaders" in Washington are making a deal to destroy America as you know it. Boehner's latest bill cuts a whopping $7 Billion dollars this year.

HEAR THIS: That's less than we currently borrow in 2 DAYS! This is the best that John Boehner can do - cut two days of borrowing?

All this while Obama and the DEMs want to increase this year's spending (and borrowing) by another $2 TRILLION dollars. Boehner's "deal" also lets a committee of 6 DEMs and 6 GOPs cut military spending at their discretion. The bill makes no significant spending cuts in discretionary spending until 2014. This commission also will have power to "enhance revenues". (That's a nice way of saying RAISE YOUR TAXES!) History shows that Congress doesn't follow its own rules! You already know they will take full advantage of this new legislation whenever they want to.

Meanwhile, the people who have the power to down-grade our credit ratings (Standard AND Poors and Moody) are still NOT convinced that we mean business in lowering our deficit. Gee, do you wonder why?

A Clear Message
The media is complicit with the corruption in Washington. It's all built on lies and we cannot trust the media's message any longer. They portray the fiasco as a wonderful solution in a timely way.

Regardless of the outcome in the next day or so by the Washington idiots, the dollar will be down-graded and America will loose its AAA bond rating. America, this means that we are headed for even harder times - maybe even another Great Depression. Read that again. We are headed for even HARDER times than we are in right now.

As of last Friday, the latest report on the GDP (Gross Domestic Product = totals of goods and services produced in the USA) indicated that we are deeply in a 2nd recession. Alias = the "double dip recession."

It's time to wake up.

Be a Patriot - Not A Looser
We have no control of the outcome in Washington or the down-grading of our credit ratings. What we do know is that it's coming. So what can you do?

Live within your means. Have an ample food supply. Pay off your debts. Try and be beholden to no one. Be ready and able to help those who will need help. And most important - pray! The American people will save this Republic - NOT the Clowns in Washington!

Late-Breaking Deal... Congress is a JOKE!

We Have A Deal!
The leaders of the Senate and House have struck a deal. Well what about the rest of AMERICA? One Trillion in spending cuts over 10 years is BAD for America. It postpones the problem and does not solve it. We need to cut $2-4 Trillion now!

More Back Room Dealing
More meetings behind closed doors. And look what it brings us. No solutions - just more of the same. Raise the debt ceiling some more and keep spending. You've got to be kidding! Looks like Washington politicians cannot fix anything because they ARE part of the problem.

What Presidential Leadership?
Obama cannot lead. He has no plan and cannot unite the country. He's the GREAT DIVIDER. He'd rather campaign instead while pushing the blame on anyone else besides himself! He cannot take ANY responsibility for his own actions. That's disgusting and shows his incompetence!

And What About Congress?
Congress can't lead either! All they can think about is themselves and their re-election. If the current $1 Trillion in cuts over the next 10 years is the best that our leaders in Congress can do, then we need new leaders in Congress! Boehner and Reid believe this is a good thing. They need to go America! Their back-room deal is bad for America! They haven't fixed anything. They are merely pushing it down the road until after the November 2012 elections. It fixes NOTHING NOW!

Action To Take
Write, phone, or email your representatives and tell them to vote a resounding "NO" to raising the debt ceiling. It's time to face the music and start CUTTING!! No more borrowing. DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING AGAIN! Start cutting entitlements and close government departments like the Federal Department of Education, Department of Commerce, and the Environmental Protection Agency! Give them all a six month vacation without pay!
