Leave the Census Alone

Leave the U.S. Census Alone! The Obama Administration is considering moving control of the U.S. Census, again due to begin April 1, 2010. Into the hands of Professional politicians, specifically Obama chief adviser David Axelrod and Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Axelrod by his own admission on Sunday news programs Meet the Press and Sunday with Chris Wallace said he and Emanuel were not Census professionals. And assured their hosts the Census would not be politicized, sure, and I’ve got $50 million to burn!

Individual States sense 1789, the year congress first met have manipulated and misused State Census data for Gerrymandering. A scrupulous means by which Politicians of all Party’s have misused the Census, Geographic’s, Demographic studies of States, Gerrymandering. The Founders intended the Census a nonpartisan and nonpolitical necessity of operating a federal Government and guaranteeing a reasonable fair balance of ‘The Peoples Representation’ to Congress. The Founders wrote the Census into the Constitution with no political Party in mind.

However there’s a ‘But.’ But then, there always is. The Constitution left control of the Census in the hands of Congress. “[An] Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.” Who makes the Laws, Congress. There’s no more a group of diverse polarizing political bubbleheads then that of which we see in Congress. A body of politicians that have consistently rated lower public opinion scores than former President Bush. This sways both ways, during the Republican and Democrat reins of power.

Regardless of which side of the fence you sit. Politicians should remove themselves from any part of the U.S. Census taking, and resulting data summaries. David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel are professional politicians whose loyalties lie with the Party, not necessarily the People. Yes the administrator of the Census is a Cabinet member of any Administration, and the Constitution gives control of the U.S. Census to the Laws enacted by Congress. But better men, and women, better minded politicians, and true representatives of the people, would assure the people of a clean and fair U.S. Census, Always…Should they not?

The Stimulus Trojan Horse

Is the Stimulus a Trojan Horse

Dr. Quack’s advice to Stimulus recipients like the Auto, Financial, Business Industries and such, “Don’t Take the Money.” It’s better to reorganized (Chapter 11) and perhaps wiser than to climb into bed with Barney Franks and Christopher Dodd. Not to mention Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

The Stimulus Bill contains pages and pages of Company and Executive limits, prohibitions, and stipulations. All argumentatively could be a stymie to Economic recovery in themselves. The bigger point is Capitalism is much like nature, evolution if you please. It’s an economic system that rewards the strongest, wisest, and in the end those businesses with good values. Usually, not always, but mostly does it work out this way. Good people may have good businesses and fail, for many reasons, I have, but we pick ourselves up and do it again.

Capitalism works like nature in an ever-evolutionary process. And left to its natural forces, Capitalism is good. These businesses that take the Stimulus money are circumventing the natural forces of Capitalism for the wide and level path of Socialism. At least the beginnings of socialism, worst yet communism. Socialism being Economic Government, Communism the Political Economic Governing, which do you think America’s headed for? If America’s banks, Financial Institutions (Wall Street) and big Industries swallow the Trojan horse, what ugly head will wile from within?

Stimulus or Government Expansion

I know, you know that an economic stimulus is needed now. But I have read over 400 pages of this updated Stimulus

(‘‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’’) and so far have read mostly Government Expansion Projects. Some will provide jobs, most of what I read are unnecessary, unrelated to a Stimulus with expenditures so high that they defy gravity, to use Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s phrase of Corporate abuses.

American’s who have bought into the Administration’s Doom and Gloom prophesy, with savior Obama to the rescue, are in for a big disappointment. If you are expecting a check in the mail, you’d be waiting till doomsday. If you are hoping for the bank to return your foreclosed on home, you have a better chance to win the Lottery. Then buy a new home.

There’s no Earmarks, no Pork, per-say. But Congress has given the entire $838billion to bureaucracies who will then distribute to whom, and what they please. There’s no transparency in that, I guarantee you. Just as with Mayor Daily of Chicago, the Transparency is only at the Federal level and the recipients don’t have to detail to us their accounting of money received. Therefore under TITLE VIII—DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR…in the ‘‘American Recovery 5 and Reinvestment Act of 2009.” Organizations like President Obama’s favorite organization in Chicago, ACORN could receive millions, if not billions of dollars. Without accountability they are third-party recipients. That aside, under the same Title VIII, $1,200,000,000 for grants to the States for youth activities, including summer employment for youth: I have a teenager my friends have teenagers, but there are programs and funds in place for these programs already, is it necessary as part of this Stimulus to add more dollars for Teenage activities and summer employment. I don’t believe so.

Under other Titles in this Stimulus Bill we have, NATIONAL CEMETERY ADMINISTRATION For an additional amount for ‘‘National Cemetery Administration’’, $64,961,000, to remain available until September 30, 2010, of which $59,476,000 shall be for capital infrastructure and memorial and monument repairs; and $5,485,000 shall be for energy efficiency initiatives.” How many jobs will this bring, how does this stimulate our economy, yours, mine? It goes on, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

FACILITIES CAPITAL For an additional amount for ‘‘Facilities Capital’’, $75,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2010.” Is this Stimulating the economy? And On, PAYMENTS TO ELIGIBLE PERSONS WHO SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN THE FAR EAST DURING WORLD WAR II. (a) FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (l) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATION. There is authorized to be appropriated to the compensation fund $198,000,000, to remain available until expended, to make payments under this section.” I’m not against these benefits, but they are not Economic Stimulus generating expenditures.

I can go on and on, and I will continue to show more of the unnecessary expenditures included in the ‘‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ over the next few days. Our President means well, but Obama has allowed a Liberal Congress to kickoff his Presidency with ‘One Giant Step For Socialism’ with huge Government Expansion. Judging by what is written into this Legislation I can only concluded they is one mischievous Bill.

Recession yes, but most of what this recession is, will self-dissipate on its own. Not by this Administration’s so-called Stimulus. We need a Stimulus, but one that reaches out to all Americans.

Wolves Guarding the Henhouse

America’s 75th Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner spelled out some good stuff today in his first Press Conference. But left out the Details of a complex Economic Recovery program leaving Wall Street and all Markets on a downward spiral. A spiral that ended with the Dow down nearly 400 points. Geithner began his news conference painting the bleakest picture of America’s economic woes one could say. He continued this harsh portrait of America throughout his conference. The More Secretary Geithner spoke the less we knew, the more questions we had.

Perhaps his News conference would have enlightened more and inspired the Marketplace had he not been so seemingly or should I say (Transparently) over exaggerated of America’s Recession. Then made it clear at the end of his News Conference that it’s the Wolves guarding the Henhouse (Chris Dodd and Barney Frank)….that makes us leery of these new proposed policies…and more so of those not proposed yet. I’m Dr. Quack with the harsh cry of reason…21009

It’s a Mad, Mad, Government

There’s an infinite amount of discussions we could have with the headline, ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, World (Government). Am I wrong? Don’t be alarmed, Dr. Quack isn’t going Mad nor cynical, but sort of. Cynical that is.

Perhaps this cynicalism (My Word) is due to the Information Age we live in and the increased amount of transparency we are now seeing in Government and Big Business. (Small Business too) It isn’t your fault, nor mine, for we Duckeons are the ones outside the asylum looking in. And unfortunately we’re all to reminded of this fact every time we read, hear, or see the current news. In particular, related to the cause, effect, and reaction to our Nation’s current Recession, by the Government and Financial Institutions. Frankly they all need to be placed into Institutions, make that one Institution for all the Washington D.C. Bureaucrats, Wall Street, Big Business, and Banking so-called intellectual Elitist. They should all be committed into the Institution for Loonies. That’s right Loonies. Too far Left or too far Right they are all one in the same, birds of the same feather, and not DUCK feathers either. They all have been in bed together for decades, and now in the Age of Information and unsurpassed techno-driven transparency their Corruption, Greed, and Cynicalism is coming out of the closet faster than the Gay Liberation Movement. (Not to offend the Gay Liberation Movement)

Our Founding Fathers and those who have sacrificed the supreme sacrifice for our Country, are rumbling and grumbling in their graves. The Cynical (Concerned Only With One’s Own Interests and Disregarding Accepted Standards to Achieve Them) seems to be the Washington D.C. Standard, rather Substandard culture. What’s more alarming is that this appears the standard taught to our children in higher education universities for which parents and our taxes pay for. They’re teaching the Standard in life, Marriage, and Business to ‘Be Concerned Only With One’s Own Interests and Disregard Accepted Standards to Achieve Them.’ What a crock of Duck Dung, you think?

A case in point. Congress can’t even for one moment keep their grubby greedy hands out of the Stimulus Bill. Loading it down with an unbelievable amount of DUNG. I don’t need to give you the blow-by-blow, you can visit Citizens Against Government Waste; http://councilfor.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=CCAGW_homepage here you’ll find all the nasty details of the current Stimulus Bill. Or read it for yourself at; http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1/text

Facts are Facts, and America’s elitist in Washington D.C., our financial and educational institutions are Clueless, to say the least.

I and America still await the Senate’s final draft of the Stimulus Bill, now called the Tax Cut and Spending Bill. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced Sunday that he’ll postpone by a day (Or so) the details of how the money from the Stimulus Legislation will be spent on the Financial Industry bailout.

As of this post, the Obama Stimulus package has gone from $816billion in the House Bill to $920billion in the Senate to a proposed but not yet released Final Senate rewrite of $827Billion. Where’s the cuts. The only Bill cutting came from added Amendments proposed by the Senate leaders, after receiving an already ridiculously amendment packed House Stimulus Bill. This is like walking into a Department Store sale and paying $65 for a pair of jeans marked down from $85. When I can ill afford the $65 let alone at $85. Better to shop the discount stores for what I need rather than what I may want at a time my family needs food on the table. (So to speak)

Congress needs only to spend of our money, what is needed to stimulate and move this economy, and no more. Congress needs to get the money, our money-back into our hands to manage and stimulate the economy. This is what they need to be working on. Not infrastructure and Financial Institutions. What infrastructure job would I be eligible for, none I assure you. And how does giving our tax dollars to bailout greedy corrupt Financial Institutions. For them to LOAN me the money-back at high interest,(Any Interest) going to better I and other Americans. The Government’s plan will not only indebt the Federal Government, but every small business entrepreneur like myself, every American like you.

Stipulations, such as mandating Stimulus funds scheduled for construction and manufacturing expenses be limited to unionized companies is what? I see it as a payoff. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) writes this in its assessment of the Stimulus Bill

(American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) “CBO and JCT estimate that enacting H.R. 1 would increase budget deficits by $526 billion over the 2009-2010 period (about 19 months) and by a total of $816 billion over the 2009-2019 period. In addition, CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting the provisions in Division B would reduce revenues by $76 billion in fiscal year 2009, by $131 billion in fiscal year 2010, and by a net of $212 billion over the 2009-2019 period. Combining the spending and revenue effects of H.R. 1, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would increase federal budget deficits by $169 billion over the remaining months of fiscal year 2009, by $356 billion in 2010, by $174 billion in 2011, and by $816 billion over the 2009-2019 period. CBO anticipates that implementation of H.R. 1 would have a noticeable impact on economic growth and employment in the next few years. Following longstanding Congressional budget procedures, however, this estimate does not address the potential budgetary effects of such changes in the economic outlook.”

In other words, letting well enough alone, may, could, and has, over the history of America. With reason, good judgment, and Capitalism’s (No pain, no gain)… And responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars is the best path to ending this Recession. A Recession not created by normal Capitalistic means. Rather by the selfishness and greed of many of America’s Elected and Financial Institution leaders. I’m Dr. Quack with the harsh cry of reason. 20909

Hope by any name is…

First I wish my new President all the success. I recognize the moment in history President Obama brings to a collective America, coining his words. And I applauded his personal achievement in elected to the highest office in the land.

If there’s hope in change then America should look forward to a prosperous four years. The verdict is still out on just whose change will be the signature of our hope. Writers from the New York Times to the L.A. Times hoped the change Obama would bring. Would be theirs.

The odd of it all. Liberal writers from Left Coast to Left Coast boast of President Obama’s pragmatic style vs President Bush’s ideologies. However President Obama campaigned on Hope, and the Left championed the ‘Hope in Change.’ Yet Hope, is ideological in itself, is it not? So where’s the beef? I’m Dr. Quack with the harsh cry of reason. 12009

There’s No Place for Helpful Hate, but on a Plate to be Ate

If it’s wise to swallow our pride, then more so to the wiser, we must swallow the hate on our plate. Referring to the plate of life. Hate is one of those black and white words that leaves no margin for error about the meaning. Someone says they hate you, that’s it. They hate you. It simply boils down to this, “What part of hate don’t you get.”

We have used the word hate in jest. We’ve used it callously as well. Chalk it up to our sinful human nature at its best, or fittingly, its worst. Journalists and I use the word loosely when referring to Linda Valdez of the Arizona Republic and Bob Herbert of the New York Times. Do no-good for their once respected journals with their continued bombardment of hate mongering. What’s worse is that they do it in the name of Patriotism. They are cynical and hateful individuals, prejudiced and hypocritical. Linda Valdez who consistently uses her experiences with, or of, her children as shields for Valdez’s own hate. My teenage child said this and that and I learned so much from them, than the lies and misinformation of my parents…goes on Valdez in many of her Op-EDS. If Linda Valdez’s opinions seemingly are derived from the truths of teenage opinions. Then respectfully I suggest Linda Valdez’s OP-ED would be best published in many, but not all, the teen magazines. For Herbert it’s the race card.

For most people, hate and assumption are left behind when we become adults. We stop whistling in the breeze and spitting in the wind when we reach an age of accountability. But then. That is the crux of the problem with extremist on the Left and on the Right. Accountability, responsibility, isn’t in their vocabulary.

Sure Linda Valdez love’s her children as any other parent. But to wear one’s parenthood on the sleeve of hypocrisy and hate is what? This crown of hypocrisy isn’t worn by Valdez and Herbert alone, there’s a multitude of writers, bloggers and mainstream media that wear their patriotism and family values on a sleeve of hypocrisy. Linda Valdez I notice most because the Arizona Republic is the only print media I receive on my driveway each morning. Most everything else is an online read. Hard not to pick up on the usual Valdez tripe. Never a positive word, only extremist though passionate hate for all she disagrees with. I have plenty to disagree with, but manage to limit any hate for those, or things, that would do personal harm to my family, first. To my country second, domestically or foreign wrongs.

Hate is personal, we have a right to hate, so long as that hate doesn’t derail, mislead, and cause others to stumble because we hate something. Valdez and Herbert have described those who hate as ignorant and fearful people. These two patriot wannabe’s best remove the log from each other’s eye, before that of people they as writers have an accountability and responsibility to, for truth. And yes, Opinion has a responsibility for truth. Otherwise it’s a lie, not an opinion. Of course lies are easier to write than the truth, and assumption even easier.

Over the past three weeks Bob Herbert, and now Linda Valdez in Sunday’s OP-ED of the Arizona Republic called for an investigation into all the crimes and constitutional misuses of the Bush and Cheney administration, then prosecute at will. Their collective patriotism, though maybe well intended, is misguided. Beginning with releasing Gitmo detainees, placing them into

U.S. civilian prisons and courts, followed up by the prosecution and possible lynching of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. It’s hard not to accuse Linda Valdez’s Op-ED ‘Special prosecutor should look at Bush’s handiwork’ in Sunday’s AZ Republic, for plagiarizing Bob Herbert’s Op-Ed December 31, 2008 ‘Add Up the Damage.’ In my comments about Herbert’s ‘Add Up the Damage’ I mentioned, misery loves company. Well, New York meet sleepless in Arizona…

Valdez writes as her reasoning for such investigation, and hopeful prosecutions of Bush and Cheney; “(1) your children are watching; (2) the world is watching; (3) if this administration is not held accountable, some other president will follow Bush’s example.” Linda Valdez rants like a teenage wannabe adult. You need to buy me this, it’s my Right to have that, I’ll tell Grandma because she’s watching and says you should….on, and on, and on. The tirade never ceases.

It’s time for Linda Valdez and the Arizona Republic to grow up. It’s OK, share an opinion, but here’s what the world is wanting from a respected journal. Truth, Trust, Accountability, Responsibility, and Facts. Opinionated writing with passion, without the hypocrisy. Without talking points, and for me, leave out the tunnel vision. Even Op-ED writers should research more than one book before formulating an opinion. Linda Valdez, Bob Herbert and others have ears for only those that agree with them, how ‘Stepford.’

Ah the Poetic Bob Herbert of the NY Times

If Right Wing Fanatics were as poetic as their counterparts on the Left, such as Bob Herbert a New York Times Op-ED Columnist. Then pigs, would be flying. But you know as I pigs don’t fly, and Right Wing Fanatics wouldn’t know the difference between Emily Dickinson and Patrick J. Buchanan.

But then Bob Herbert doesn’t know the difference between Fact and Myth (An exaggerated or idealized conception of a person; Widely held but false belief) person of point, President Bush. Herbert’s NY Times Op-ED of December 31, 2008 titled ‘Add Up the Damage.’ Refers to the Carnage President G. W. Bush has befell the American people, at least in the world Bob Herbert lives in. And if you have read Herbert, his is always an angry world, as the case with most Left Wing Loonies. After all, birds of a feather love to flock together. Misery loves company, and Herbert is at no loss for compañeros. Unfortunate and sad.

Bob Herbert begins with “Does anyone know where George W. Bush Is?” As to say, ‘Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?’ But this is only the beginning of Herbert’s poetic bash of President Bush. Are you ready? Hold on to your Emily Dickinson there’s more Herbert poetic isms. “I don’t think he (Bush) should be allowed to slip quietly out of town. There should be a great hue and cry — a loud, collective angry howl, demonstrations with signs and bullhorns and fiery speeches — over the damage he’s done to this country.” “This is the man who gave us the war in Iraq and Guantanamo and torture and rendition; who turned the Clinton economy and the budget surplus into fool’s gold; who dithered while New Orleans drowned; who trampled our civil liberties at home and ruined our reputation abroad…”

There’s much to disagree with when it comes to President Bush’s decision making and subsequent actions. But neither Herbert nor I were in the presence of information privy to the President of the United States. And in the big picture, tie goes to the runner (President Bush) of whom we should believe. It would, and should, be no different for a President Obama.

Herbert offers no facts. His writing, nothing but the same Leftist talking points I’d expect to read on the “Huffington Post or “Crooks and Liars’ Blogs. Then again, this is Bob Herbert of the New York Times. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead, blame Bush. A procrastinating Governor of Louisiana, Mayor of New Orleans, poorly maintained levees managed by the Army Corps of Engineers for Decades, and a Hurricane of immense proportion called Katrina, and all Herbert can say is, blame Bush.

Herbert is an expert jabberwocky, using his passion of hatred for a President, Bob Herbert has never accepted as wining in 2000. In Herbert’s Op-Ed ‘The Ugly Side of the Republicans’ of 9/25/07 he writes; “Republicans improperly threw black voters off the rolls in Florida in the contested presidential election of 2000, and sent Florida state troopers into the homes of black voters to intimidate them in 2004.” Then Herbert writes, “Enough is enough. Last week the Republicans showed once again just how antiblack their party really is.” Does Bob Herbert believe for a moment Barack Obama would have won the Presidential election without Republican and conservative votes? He’d be wrong.

Herbert writes in an earlier Op-ED 11/6/06 ‘Shouting Over the Din.‘ “We know that Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election, and that of the people who went to the polls in Florida, more had intended to vote for Mr. Gore than for Mr. Bush. But Mr. Bush became president.” Once again in Herbert’s October 1, 2004 Op-ED ‘Sacrifice and Sabotage’ he writes “Disenfranchisement comes in many guises. Two professors at the University of Miami did an extensive analysis of so-called voter errors in Miami-Dade County that has not previously been reported on, and that gives us an even more troubling picture of the derailment of democracy in Florida in the 2000 presidential race. Have I made my point?

In the current Bob Herbert poetic, epic yarn, He writes. “The Bush administration specialized in deceit. How else could you get the public (and a feckless Congress) to go along with an invasion of Iraq as an absolutely essential response to the Sept. 11 attacks, when Iraq had had nothing to do with the Sept. 11 attacks?” Herbert conveniently left out the leaders of, most the free world, and those of not so free governments. Whom all believed the threat from Iraq, based on U.S., British, French, and German Intel. Herbert writes of Americans having our civil liberties trampled, so poetic. But a lie, is a lie, is a lie. We can argue the Constitution, but based on facts and reason our civil liberties always remained intact. That’s a fact. Wow I’m a poet and I didn’t know it….

I’ve linked the entire Bob Herbert Op-ED ‘Add Up the Damage’ for your reading delight. I’m tired and my wife is about to pop open the bubbly to bring in the New Year. See Yah Next year…And all the Best to you in 2009….

Restore the Rule of Law…I say “Restore Reason, Restore Sanity”

I’m in the Extreme Out-There Zone and I can’t get out. Help!!! I kid you not, when Libertarians and Extreme Out-There Zone Liberals cry foul over Constitutional misuses by the Bush Administration. It’s time for a Dr. Quack Reality check. The New York Times OP-ED in question ‘Democratic Pressure on Obama to restore the Rule of Law’. Written by Adam Cohen assistant editorial page editor of The New York Times. Mr. Cohen’s editorial driven by a group of select law professors, lawyers, and civil libertarians. All championed by Cohen’s apparent hero and so-called defender of civil liberties Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. It’s important to know Adam Cohen apart from his editorial duties at the New York Times is also a lawyer. For the record Public opinion polls have President Bush’s approval at 31%, Congress at 18%, Lawyers with actors finish between President Bush and Congress. Senator Feingold also an attorney.

Mr. Cohen’s OP-ED begins. “In a Senate hearing room in September, weeks before Barack Obama won the election, a series of law professors, lawyers and civil libertarians outlined one of the biggest challenges that will be facing the next president: bringing the United States government back under the rule of law.” “Over the past eight years, they testified, American legal traditions have been degraded in areas ranging from domestic spying to government secrecy. The damage that has been done by President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and others is so grave that just assessing it will be an enormous task. Repairing it will be even more enormous.”

Nothings lost, there’s no degrading of the American legal tradition, the American Constitution has not eroded one iota. The hearing was a waste of Taxpayer dollars. No surprise there. The hearing was nothing but support for Senator Feingold who, “is dedicated to putting the restoration of the rule of law on the agenda of the incoming government, with the support of the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups.” Adam Cohen. Now you know the rest of the story…Do you not?

Adam Cohen writes “Restoring the rule of law will not be easy, Mr. Feingold concedes. Part of the problem is that it is hard to know how much damage has been done. Many programs, like domestic spying and extraordinary rendition — the secret transfer of detainees to foreign countries where they are harshly interrogated — have operated in the shadows.”

Fact is these ACLU card-carrying lawyers, professors, and politicians speaking in this Senate hearing room early September. Are no more Libertarian or Constitutionalist, than the KKK are good well minded Americans. Senator Feingold, and this group of self-appointed elitist have their own self-righteous Socialistic form of

civil liberties. They are the danger to the Constitution not President Bush, not Barack Obama, not you, not I.

When President elect Obama takes oath January 20th 2009 as America’s 44th president. He Barack Obama will become the new establishment. The champion from Illinois best remember the words of another Champion. “That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln.

The ACLU, Senator Feingold and his cronies do not believe the same. They hold up the Constitution, and Gettysburg Address, like a charlatan holds up a Bible. Neither the charlatan nor ACLU have any spiritual relationship with their respective articles. They flaunt them with hopes of gaining ground towards their own agenda. An agenda that doesn’t include of, by, or for the people of the greatest nation on earth.

Enlightenment from, the Left-Handed Leftist…

Extreme Out-There Zone

I only have myself to blame when I read the Loony Toon’s of political insight from the Left. Way Left at that. In a piece dated Thursday November 27, 2008 on the left-handedleftist.blogspot.com site, final shots fired at President Bush. I agree mistakes, errors in judgment, and strategies occurred during President Bush’s eight years in office. But so far the war on Terrorism hasn’t physically touched American soil since 9/11.

Posted to the Left-Handed Leftist Blog site on November 27, 2008, a letter titled ‘Thanks You, President Bush’ signed ‘The military-Industrial Complex’ (The Letter

“Thank you, President Bush.

Thanks for legalizing torture.

Thanks for getting rid of habeas corpus.

Thanks for the “unitary executive” theory.

Thanks for making every man, woman, and child in America give $24,000 to private corporations and banks.

Thanks for the increase in poverty and hunger.

Thanks for the millions of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians.

Thanks for keeping us safe.

Thanks for the no-bid contracts.

Thanks for your response to Katrina.

Thanks the warrantless wiretapping and the telecom immunity.

Thanks for helping us undermine that pesky constitution.

Thanks for overturning posse comitatus.

Thanks for NSPD 51.

Thanks for the record average gas prices.

Thanks for kissing and holding hands with dictators and terrorists.

Thanks for invading countries that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Your friend,

The Military-Industrial Complex”

Devoid of any reason, the extreme Out-There left Zone fanatics not unlike the Right-side fanatics live in tunnel vision. In a monochrome (One Color) world. There is never Black & White. The world they live in and envision for all is one color. There’s no Technicolor, no Dolby surround sound. It’s a world in which we live in one color theirs and hear only one voice, again, theirs. The Left and extreme Right exaggerate (lie) and hold on to that exaggeration ‘Till death do them part.’ I admire the extreme Out-There Zone’s passion, if only they’d add reason to their thought. We’d have a Nation that could disagree and agree for the benefit of all, not for the benefit of a select few.

If there be any weakness to an Obama Presidency it’s from within his own Party’s factions. For Obama to succeed as he has so far and to continue, demagoguery will remain his swan song. This isn’t good nor will America grow when the populist view of a few out way that of the clear majority. Example, tolerance is from understanding, but wisdom comes from development and achievement overtime. Just as slavery was overcome, then Civil Rights, so will other aspects of America’s growth develop. Always with a majority vote of the people. Signaling the cautious, steady hand of wisdom, has been left to work…America is the sum of all its People nothing less. The Federal Government is the sum of all those who voted, do the math, ‘We the People.’ I’m Dr. Quack with the harsh cry of reason…120208
