Not many of you remember November 18, 1956. I was only seven at the time but I do remember my parents talking about Nikita Khrushchev telling the Americans "WE WILL BURY YOU". More in a moment.
Fifty three years ago Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Russian Communist Party, uttered the now famous phrase"We will bury you. " At the time it was considered a threat , an announcement of pending war. But later, on August 24, 1961, Mr. Khrushchev clarified the statement, saying he did not mean that Russia would bury America with a shovel but that the American working class would bury capitalism. I wonder, at the time of his death on September 11, 1971 if he knew how profound that statement was.
The current "Change" happening in America is, I say, the shovel that will bury capitalism. There is no doubt that capitalism is under attack from the far left, I say it is an all out war. The shovel is the far left Congress, the far left Senate and a far left President and cabinet. How do you bury capitalism? You bury capitalism in debt.

NATIONALIZATION OF VOTER REGISTRATION
There is a rumor that the government wants to nationalize the voter registration process. More in a moment.
Although the elections of 2010 seem far away, it is only a little less then 11 months, and it is not too soon to be thinking about them. But there is a rumor that the current administration is going to nationalize voter registration.
On the surface this does not seem like a big thing. But what is being proposed is this; the Federal Government will take control of voter registration, and all that will be required for a person to register to vote is a photo ID; a photo ID which anybody can get at the DMV, legal citizen or not, it will make no difference. If you thought that 35-40 million new patients in our health care system was crazy imagine that many more illegal aliens able to cast votes in an election no matter what country they were citizens of last week. Does this make sense to anyone?
I believe it does make sense to the current administration. I believe the goal is to push this through after the first of the year with the belief that the "new" voters will largely be liberal and thus ensuring the reelection of the current party. Sound crazy? Comments are welcome, you tell me. For what it's worth.

SARAH PALIN
Sarah Palin, the feisty X-Governor of Alaska is on a book tour to promote 'Going Rogue'. What can we expect? More in a moment.
Sarah Palin is out and about promoting her book 'Going Rogue.' Is this an attempt to re-package the popular governor or it it just a promotion tour? I can not help but think it is more then promotion. She has never been more popular, and everywhere she goes she draws tens of thousands wanting to see her, listen to her, and measure her. Not only in what she says but how she says it.
What the Governor is doing, I believe, is educating herself to the ways of the media. She learned a hard lesson while the VP candidate; that's right Sarah, the press in not your friend. And because you are a conservative women they want to chew you up an spit you out without so much as a 'by your leave.'
Another lesson to be learned is she must be herself. Don't let the Party package you and show you off as mere window dressing. My one disappointment was that she was not true to herself and to her convictions. The voters wanted to see the real Palin and all they were allowed to see was GOP window dressing. Pay attention here Governor Palin; "To thine own self be true."
Governor Palin must learn the Speak of politics. Although I love her mid-west manor, being mid-western myself, she must learn the words, the sentence structure that says leader, and speak to the passion of your convictions.
And Governor, repeat after me:
The press is not my friend.
The press is not my friend.
The press is not...

I REMEMBER
I remember a day when it was 102 degrees in central Minnesota and this was before, as my friend from the Gold Coast of AUS says, "Global Warming Bullcrap." More in a moment.
In the mid 1980's my oldest son and I left on a fishing trip from central Minnesota and it was 102 degrees and muggy. We were headed north to the Boundary Waters the boat in tow. It was HOT and with the humidity near 75% it was almost unbearable, the auto A/C could hardly keep up. Even as we drove north the heat did not let up. And during that entire 4 hour drive we heard nothing about global warming, or greenhouse gases.
Since that summer day in central Minnesota there has not been another day to rival it in heat and humidity, and yet 25 years later all we hear is "Global Warming Bullcrap". Why is that? Perhaps it's because they missed 8th grade science class where I learned that it is the sun that heats the earth, and as the sun cycles through hot and cool phases so does the earth. For what it's worth.

IT'S YOUR RIGHT
Can you imagine being forced by the government to worship a certain way? How about being arrested and sent to prison with out a trial? Or knowing that the police could come to your home without and warrant, even in the middle of the night and take you or a family member away?
People in other countries and in other times in history have suffered under government systems that allow(ed) things like this to happen. But we Americans are protected from such occurrences thanks to our Bill of Rights....or are we?
I have always believed that the Bill of Rights is a perfect document, one with out flexibility or question. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger picked the first Amendment as the most important, he said "It opens the door to ensuring all other rights." But over the past 100 years the bill of rights has been under attack by those seeking to destroy the very freedom we have come to enjoy.
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
That is pretty straight froward. People have the right to practice the religion of their choice and to express their opinions freely; the press can not be controlled by the government; the people may meet freely and may ask the government to address their complaints. However, there is a growing voice on the part of the current administration to silence such people as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Glen Beck. Why? Well, simply put, it's because they do not fall in line with the policies of this administration, or simply because they question; when all they are asking is a redress of their grievances. Let's say the new FCC czar does silence these voices. Who will he come after next?
AMENDMENT II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Here again it is straight forward and concise. State militias are important to the security of the states; the government may not interfere with the right of the people to have guns. However, That last statement has come under scrutiny. Some interpret that to mean; only the militia can have guns. But read what it says. look at how it is written, including the punctuation. ...the security of a free state ,(the comma meaning and) the right of the people (not the militia) to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Now let's say that the unthinkable happens and they interpret this to mean only the militia can have guns. Where does it stop? the amendment reads...the right of the people to keep and bear arms...How will they interpret the word arms? Is it your hunting bow? Is it your knives? Is it a sharp stick? My friends, once that door is opened...
For the sake of time I have reviewed only two of the amendments of the Bill of Rights, I hope to do more very soon. Fight the battle with honest questions and demand logical answers. For what its worth. BJ

As A Vietnam Vet...
As a Vietnam Vet I know all to well what is happening in Afghanistan. More in a moment.
Any soldier who served in Vietnam and was lucky enough to return alive knows all to well what politics did to that war. It cheapened our sacrifice and marred the memory of those who died. As I watch our current government positioning itself on Afghanistan; it's Dejavu all over again.
I am begging this administration to do one of two things:
Give them ALL the support necessary to win.
or...
Bring them home NOW. For what it's worth.

I'M MAD AS HELL...
I'm mad as hell at all politicians! More in a moment.
I am one of those who have had it with politicians. I'm sick of their lies and deceptions and all around B.S. And I know I am not alone. If you want to fix it do the following:
1. Vote for someone else.
2. Demand term limits for the House and Senate using the same limits for president; two terms and you're out.
For What it's worth.
