NOVEMBER 18, 1956

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 the shovel that will bury capitalism. There is no doubt that capitalism is under attack from the far left. 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.

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.
