Millions of illegal immigrants would be put on a pathway to legal status and eventually have the chance to apply for citizenship in exchange for paying fines and taxes, under the terms of the immigration overhaul being unveiled this week.  Should we put down “tax day”, April 15th, 2013 as another “sellout day” by the Republican party.  We already know which party drew this up and clearly know which party can stop it.

The massive legalization program would be twinned with a multibillion-dollar effort to boost border security.   Yeah, right – we’ve heard that before, remember Reagan?  Notice that there are no specifics on WHEN this fence or border security is to begin or be completed.

9/11/2001 – The Attack on America, and nothing was the same afterwards.  It wasn’t that the terrorists defeated America – Hell, America defeated America.  The political parties tore the country apart with their finger pointing accusations about every little thing they could conjure up.  The people started siding with political parties and our once proud nation was nothing more than a bunch of pissed off citizens that blamed each other.  Talk about wild burros that back into a circle and start kicking when the wolves are circling!

The Real Estate Market Bubble Burst – and the slings and arrows flew.

The Auto Industry went under or sold out to foreign countries and the Labor Unions became whores for change.  America was no longer the #1 Automaker in the World and retired autoworkers got screwed out of their rightful retirement incomes.  Detroit fell further into the ruins than ever.

More jobs were shipped overseas than at any other period in our history.

Unemployment ran up to as high as 25% but no one in the media would tell the truth except Fox news and they tempered it so as not to sound crazy.  But we knew what the real deal was.

American Tax Dollars were stolen by our government to BAIL OUT Wall Street and other to big to fail insurance agencies – not to mention FOREIGN BANKS around the globe that got shored up on Americans backs.  Can’t have the NEW WORLD ORDER Banks and Financial Institutions failing as long as Americans have income that can be taxed.

Our country can’t patch our own streets or build schools and hospitals but we can damn sure do it for countries that hate us in the Middle East.  Now add all of the above and then some, to the mix of divided American attitudes on racial equality, caused by the Barrack Obama election, (cause we certainly do need change) and you have one helluva explosive mixture for the boiling pot in America.

Obama and the Democrat Party instilled the new corporate killing Obama Healthcare laws on the small business people, the backbone of Americas’ workforce.  Many go out of business because of it.  The Administration increases the amount businesses must pay the workers by jacking up the minimum wage.  Wages and Healthcare cost are scaring the hell out of small businessmen while large corporations are busy moving overseas to escape tax laws and buy cheaper labor.

Ok that’s one tip of the iceberg – now lets look at its wake!  Huge amounts of totally ruined Americans in the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s age bracket.  These people are setting records for unemployment checks and food stamps collection.  They’re too young for social security and only have so much savings to burn thru in a couple of years.  The 401K is gone, unemployment has run out, their house is underwater or foreclosed on and no one wants to hire them with that head full of white hair.  Age discrimination – that thing that is against the law, but no one can prove, is ALIVE AND WELL in America.  Ever so slowly these people start getting cut off from the only lifeline they have and families start splitting up.  Divorce and just being tired of being looked down upon over a situation that you did not create, becomes more than two people can take.

The house and spouse are gone, and single men and women continue to struggle and get by with the help of some friends and churches – but no one knows how long they can make it.  Meanwhile congress argues over allowing people to invest their money into accounts for old age!  These people don’t have money or jobs that pay into social security and the amounts they will be paid when they come of age is shrinking every month due to lack of contribution.

BUT THE STOCK MARKET IS BACK!!!!!

Yep, these corporations that laid off 50% of the their employees and cut the money for the ones lucky enough to keep a job are now back to selling stock for the same money they were at before it all went away back in 2009.    So, do we cuss them or build them a shrine while we lick our wounds and wonder where we went wrong in our childhood and career choices.

So many people have lost the house, job, car, the savings along with 401K retirement money and just about everything they ever worked for.  They dye their hair to look youthful (if they can pull it off) and try to get a job that pays half of what they used to make.  Some are lucky to find that kind of opportunity, while others still hold out hope that our nation will wake up and do something about the downhill slide we’re in.  Most are resigned to the fact that our once great country is gone but they will vote to try and make a difference.

WE have people walking around looking for work with Bachelors, Masters and PHD’S that can’t find an employer that will take them.  The corporations use the degree as a way to discriminate and cull the herds of hungry workers crowding their HR departments every day.  These corporations have the audacity to ask for a person to have a Masters Degree to sell products, like groceries, or Timeshare.  They don’t really want that degree so much as they would prefer to scare the 20’something high school or college dropout out of the room.  They will not hire the elderly white haired gentleman that could replace the person that hired him – He’s a threat.  Get rid of those guys as they represent the unemployment line for present day bosses or managers when they get hired and outshine their superiors.

All of this because Americans felt sorry for a disadvantaged black man that gave good speeches!  Never mind where he was born, or his Faith, that sides with Americas sworn present day enemies.  His lack of leadership ability or earned right to even be a President of our country be damned.  America felt it was time to go all apologetic for the sins of our Great-Great-Great Grandfathers, that they perpetrated upon hyphenated Americans in our country and figured making one of them our president should just about do the trick.

Well ain’t that special?

Now you don’t just have a problem with the UNEMPLOYED, but instead you also have a huge elephant in the room concerning what you’re going to do with all those non- retired seniors.  Perhaps the answer to that is only 3 years away when the politicians will need their votes to stay in office during the 2016 election, Our citizens are a hardy bunch and by that time America will celebrate 10 years of drowning in their own shit.

So ask someone, where did the House, Job and Future go?  Can you handle the truth?  Does it matter to you?  Do you have a living wage job for them?  How about a box of doughnuts and a cup of coffee? You’re going to see this same situation for the rest of your life.

CHANGE and lost HOPE – A poem for the 21^st Century

So I lost my job

I lost my house

I took the penalty for early withdrawal on my 401K

I received unemployment until it ran out

The house I was renting was foreclosed on and I moved

The next house was foreclosed on and I moved again.

The part time job that barely put food on the table laid me off.

The car went without needed repairs and now is worthless

My credit rating is such that I can’t get another one.

They’re short selling the condo I rented – got to go

How’s the last few years of your life been?

God Bless you Brother!

I have a few thousand invested in suits and sports coats hanging in the closet along with nice dress shirts, slacks, ties and the best dress shoes available.  Guess it could be said that I look like a million dollars waiting on REAL CHANGE, because the hope was totally wasted.

See you at the top!

Brian

Let’s take a look at the last four years of can-kicking, and the situations that put lawmakers in the fiscal dogpile they’re in today:

 
Ok, Ok – before you become totally unhinged and start thinking that this is just another ‘hate piece’ or some conspiracy by the right wing establishment to take down Barack Obama: CONSIDER THE SOURCE!  The below blog was written by Dinesh D’Souza – the man that is blowing the lid off of some of the best kept secrets of the President of the United States.

 
Dinesh D’Souza – who is he?

 
He was born April 25, 1961 – is an Indian American conservative political commentator, public intellectual, author, and Christian apologist who is currently the President of The King’s College in New York City.  Prior to his presidency at King’s he was Robert and Karen Rishwain Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.  D’Souza is a prominent voice in American politics and has been affiliated with a number of top conservative organizations and publications, including the American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institution, and Policy Review.  He also served as a policy advisor to President Ronald Reagan.  D’Souza is the author of numerous New York Times best-selling books.  He has also written prolifically on Christian apologetics and is a notable critic of New Atheism.

 
You can read all about Mr. D’Souza and his movie that is in theaters all across America here:

With this mans education and journalistic references, only a closed minded mentally lazy individual would label him and refuse to hear his message before reading or watching the material he has all over the internet.  Then again, that’s a huge problem we have in America, from one end to the other.

 
HOW I BECAME GEORGE OBAMA’S “BROTHER”

 
A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George.  He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son was sick with a chest condition.  He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to cover the medical bills.  Since George was at the hospital I asked him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George’s son was indeed ill.  So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union.  He was profusely grateful.  But before I hung up I asked George, “Why are you coming to me?”  He said, “I have no one else to ask.”  Then he said something that astounded me, “Dinesh, you are like a brother to me.”

 
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be the president of the United States.  (George Obama is the youngest of eight children sired by Barack Obama Sr.)  George’s brother is a multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world.  Moreover, George’s brother has framed his re-election campaign around the “fair share” theme that we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.

 
One of Obama’s favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: “We are our brother’s keeper.”  Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of emergency, that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.

 
So much for spreading the wealth around.

 
Obama’s refusal to help George is especially surprising because George doesn’t just live in American-style poverty but rather in Third World poverty.  He lives in a shanty in the Huruma slum in Nairobi.  He gets by on a few dollars a month.  Obama also has an aunt named Hawa Auma, his father’s sister, who ekes out a living selling coal on the streets of a small village in Kenya.  She says she would like to have her teeth fixed, but she cannot afford it.  Obama hasn’t offered to help her either.

 
What’s going on here?  Why is President Obama so hesitant to help family members in need? A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist Damien Lewis and the two of them published George’s story in a book called “Homeland.” Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book’s publication in America, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than 20,000 copies.  Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from Simon & Schuster but to no avail.  He now suspects that the White House convinced Simon & Schuster that George’s story might prove embarrassing to the president.

In 2010, George also applied for a visa to come to the United States and was refused.   While George confesses that in his younger years he was a delinquent, he has never been convicted of any crime.  Moreover, he has a very good reason to visit the United States: his mother Jael Otieno lives in Atlanta.  So why would the U. S. embassy in Nairobi refuse a tourist visa to the brother of the president who just wants to spend time with his mother?

 
In the past few days, an article has been circulating on the web that depicts George as a social undesirable.  First published in the London Daily Mail, the article portrays George as a habitual drunk and philanderer.  I spent a day with George this past February while interviewing him for my documentary film 2016: Obama’s America.  I can attest that George is not an innocent.  If he had been, he would not have survived life in the Huruma slum.  Yes, George is street smart and cunning and I did smell alcohol on his breath.

 
But so what?  George may be a drinker and a skirt-chaser but, as becomes clear from his book, he is also a survivor.  He has overcome his past as a gang-member and petty thief and now works as the organizer of a slum soccer league.  He is trying to uplift himself, and he is trying to help slum kids aspire to a better life.   On balance, Lewis assures me, “George is not a bad guy.  He is on the side of the angels.”

 
But even if Lewis is wrong, and George exhibits some harmful cultural pathologies, the liberal argument—one that Obama himself makes in his book “The Audacity of Hope” — is that the cultural pathologies of the poor are themselves the product of social disadvantage.

 
Barack Obama Jr. first met George in 1987, when George was five years old.  He met George again in 2006 when he visited Kenya as a U.S. Senator from Illinois; George was then in his early twenties.  Had Obama helped George along the way, perhaps this young man would not have ended up dirt-poor and living such a degraded life.

 
So what’s the real story here?  Where’s George Obama’s “fair share”?  George’s tragic situation exposes President Obama as a hypocrite.  Here is a man who demands that others pay higher taxes to help the poor—even poor people who are not related to them—while Obama himself refuses to help a close relative like George.

 
Yet I believe there is a deeper explanation that goes beyond hypocrisy for why Obama wants nothing to do with George.   After all, it would cost Obama so little to raise George out of poverty, and yet he won’t do it.  This isn’t mere negligence; it suggests an active animus.   The reason for that animus emerges in George’s book and also in my interview with George in the film 2016.  In that interview, George rejects the anti-colonial philosophy that was espoused by Barack Obama Sr.   This is the “dream from my father” that President Obama celebrates in his own autobiography.   From the record of their lives and writings, it’s clear that Barack Obama Sr. and Barack Obama Jr. both share the anti-colonial view that blames Western colonial exploitation for the poverty and suffering of the Third World.  Yet George doesn’t buy it.  He observes that at the time of its independence in the early 1960s “Kenya was on an economic par with Malaysia or Singapore.   Look where we are now, and where they are.  They’re practically developed and industrialized, while Kenya is still a basket case.” George believes that poor countries should take responsibility for their own situation.  “What’s our excuse for failure?  We don’t have one.  We’ve only got ourselves to blame.”

 
Incredible though it seems, George Obama is, within the context of his own society, a conservative.  He doesn’t worship at the shrine of Barack Obama Sr. and he espouses an ideology diametrically opposed to that of his father and his famous brother.  George has experienced first-hand the empty rhetoric of the two Baracks, and he rejects it based on his actual experience of Third World poverty.

 
No wonder President Obama despises George, doesn’t want him around, doesn’t care to hear George’s views circulated in America, and won’t lift a finger to help him even when George’s son is in the hospital.

 
So that’s why George Obama felt he had to call me.  He had no one else to call.  He reached out to me in his time of need because he felt he couldn’t call on his real life sibling living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

 
That’s how I got to be, if only metaphorically and for a short time, George Obama’s “brother.”

Here is part of a speech given by Lou Pritchett April 15, 2012

I was born in “year two” of the Great Depression (1931) and spent the first 10 years of my life influenced by the extreme hardships of the Depression. By today’s standards my family was about a mile below today’s so called ‘poverty level’; but if you never ‘had’—doing without was not so ‘bad.’ Borrowing shoes to graduate from the 8th grade didn’t seem at all demeaning because most of the 8th graders did the same thing.

In June 1944, my only brother, Joe, was killed in action on Utah Beach in Normandy, France during the D-Day landings. Exactly one year later, my father died and left me, my mother, and my sister to go it alone. And alone we went. My mother went to work at a department store, my sister dropped out of school and joined her and I went to work shining shoes on the streets of Memphis for a dime a shine. Government assistance was not available and if it were I am confident my mother would have refused it because she never wanted the government involved in our lives.

I mention this bit of personal history to help you understand that Millions of Americans, including your parents and grandparents, grew up like me during the Great Depression and never expected nor wanted the government to offer them anything other than an opportunity…. and now; to see what Obama is trying to do to our country tends to make you crazy.

As some of you know, my “Scare Me” letter went viral with millions of hits on the Internet during the past 3 years. I have now written a “Follow-up” letter” which I will now share with you. It will be released to the press tomorrow morning.”

“In April 2009, I sent President Obama and the New York Times a Letter titled “You Scare Me” because, as a candidate, he promised to “fundamentally transform America.”

Now, after observing his performance for over three years, he no longer scares me— he terrifies me for the following reasons:

FIRST– He has done more to damage America’s standing in the World, to lower the standard of living in America, to impoverish future generations and to shake our faith in the country’s future than any other American president in history.

SECOND– With a compliant Democrat congress, a lapdog media, and a weak, almost nonexistent Republican opposition; he has shattered the America’s dream of job security, home ownership and rugged individualism for millions of Americans and has poisoned and divided our civil society with his politics of envy, class warfare, race warfare, and religious warfare which he is using as fundamental building blocks for his socialist agenda.

THIRD– Culturally, he remains totally out of touch with traditional American values. This has absolutely nothing to do with race or where he was born, rather it has everything to do with where, how and with whom he was raised, schooled, educated, trained and associates with still today.

FOURTH– He has surrounded himself with naive academicians, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats and socialist leaning czars who arrogantly think and behave exactly as he does. People who offer no balanced suggestions or devil’s advocate positions…. think in lock step with him that big government is the answer to all our problems.

FIFTH– He not only encourages but aids and abets the unionization of all American industry…. the albatross around the neck of the free market. In turn, they provide the money and muscle to intimidate his opponents.

SIXTH– He has increased the national debt by over 30% in just three years. If re-elected and this rate of increase continues, America will be burdened with an unsustainable 20 trillion dollar debt which will result in the Country’s financial death. Recovery will be impossible —- America will be the Greece of 2016.

SEVENTH– Given his fanatical beholding to the environmental and ‘man-caused’ global warming fringe, he has deliberately discouraged U.S. fossil fuel exploration and production while wasting millions of tax payer dollars on solar, wind and algae experiments. He refuses to accept that oil, gas and coal are not America’s enemies, they are America’s assets which, properly managed, could make us energy independent within a generation.

EIGHTH– He views the U.S. as a power in retreat which abused its World dominance. Therefore he systematically apologizes round the world. Last March he whispered to Russian President Medvedev “–this is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” Just what is the secret that Obama and Putin are concealing from the American people until after the election? With what other leaders has he made similar secret agreements?

NINTH— Finally, after all his miss-steps, bad decision making, poor management, and zero leadership, the fact that he has the audacity to seek re-election should terrify every American.

I predict that if re-elected, future historians and political interpreters will look back at the eight year period 2008-2016, and conclude “the 44th President of the U.S. allowed the takers to overpower the payers which resulted in the greatest economy in history vanishing from the face of the Earth.”

Farewell America, the World will really miss you!

Lou Pritchett April 15, 2012

The election of a Sudanese warlord, Omar Al-Bashir accused of genocide to the United Nations Human Rights Council is now virtually guaranteed, since he has the full backing of the world body’s African delegation.
The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Omar Al-Bashir — its first ever for a sitting head of state — for crimes against humanity he allegedly committed in Darfur. Yet, his regime is set to take its place on the panel, in the latest bizarre appointment to make a mockery of the UN’s human rights credibility, according to critics.
WHO IS OMAR AL-BASHIR?
Remember when Hillary Clinton pledged a few million US taxpayer dollars to an African Nation to hunt down a “Warlord”?  That was part of a $54 million dollar package approved by the Pentagon.  http://www.wboc.com/story/19175057/more-military-aid-to-africa-as-terrorism-increases
The Warlord that Hillary wants to track down is named Joseph Kony – his financial backer is OMAR AL-BASHIR!
The Obama administration’s decision to send 100 special forces personnel into Uganda last year coincided with the release of another film, which starred Gerard Butler as Sam Childers in ‘Machine Gun Preacher.’ Childers’ story is real. Once a very bad guy, Childers was saved and became a Christian. His mission soon became helping the children of Sudan. He continues to do so after 14 years. Watch youtube clip of movie here:

<object width=”560″ height=”315″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/DCvGL_sfxOM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/DCvGL_sfxOM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”560″ height=”315″ allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true”></embed></object>

After the release of Kony 2012, the real Sam Childers released a video in response. In it, he lauded the idea of going after Joseph Kony but also pointed to the man he says is responsible for funding the murderous warlord – Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan.  According to Childers, Kony is just a “small part of the problem” and that Al-Bashir is the much bigger problem. Childers was interviewed back in 2007; this is what he said then:

“Our area is almost all Christian people and the LRA is financed by the Arabs of the north… so the Arabs are the Muslims so it’s basically a holy war inside of our area. This man (Kony) is just out to kill every Christian he can kill in south Sudan and also in Northern Uganda… He’s being financed… it’s been proved for many, many years that the Arabs of the northern Sudan ok, which is Muslims, they have been financing this man for many, many years.”

Any guesses as to who supports Omar al-Bashir? That’s right, the Muslim Brotherhood. If Childers is right – remember, he’s been on the ground there for well over a decade – it would seem that Kony is a small fish in a big Muslim Brotherhood pond.
That brings us back to Hillary Clinton, who also said the following while in Uganda:
“We have to figure out how to work with all the countries where he and his criminal bands are perhaps hiding. We have to put our heads together to find out what additional equipment and support you need to lead this effort to rid the world of this terrible man and his criminal behavior,” Clinton said.
Perhaps some of Kony’s criminal bands aren’t hiding at all. Perhaps Mrs. Clinton should take an even tougher stance with Omar al-Bashir. Then again, that would require a tougher stance with the Muslim Brotherhood, an entity Hillary seems to be increasingly comfortable with.
HILLARY AND THE U.N. with The Muslim Brotherhood – What a team!

This is exactly what Osama Bin Laden wanted when his Al-Queda terrorists crashed airplanes into the financial center of America and the Pentagon.  Total disruption and death to the infidels.  Like horses on the plain when wolves attack, Congress reluctantly assembled into a circle and with their heads together started kicking.  Unfortunately, along with their constituents, they morphed into mules (asses).  The asses then backed into a circle and began kicking themselves while braying wildly to the awakened masses how they intended to fend off impending crisis. The new goal for all freedom and prosperity loving Americans should be to Get The ASSES Out of DC!  I think the symbolism speaks for itself.

Why does everything have to be a reboot these days?

“In a world where the greedy exploit the lazy… one handful of idealists… will make a stand… with symbolic gestures of their dissent. From the director of Southern Secession, and the producer of The Flower Power Movement, comes this summer’s biggest action thrill ride. Coming soon to a political theater near you-

“1776: Reborn”

Starring pension worried retirees in Dr. Seuss hats and partially informed trustafarians, with the day off… and an IRON FISTFUL of grammatically incorrect handwritten posters.

This summer, slap on those bumper stickers,

Blog from the rooftops,

and remember…

YOU’VE  GOTTA  FIGHT

(dun dun)

FOR YOUR RIGHT

(da nana)

TO  TEA  PAAAAAAAAARTAAAAY!!!!!

The murmurs begin 7/4/2012

The reason the Founding Fathers were successful in their plight was because they assessed their enemy, found its flaw, and exploited it. They used guerilla warfare to defeat an enemy who lined up to fight. Anyone who wishes to truly make a change must not look to repeat the past, but look instead to create a better future with an honest and thorough assesment of our present situation.

Remember, consumer support is the biggest source of power the people have in today’s world. If the corporations control the government, it is the corporations who must be weakened enough to become dislodged from our government. Forget doom and gloom. The real revolt should be against the credit system, lobbyists, special interest groups, OUTSOURCING, and the lack of American production.

Today, we not only face evil, but outright fraud and corruption at the hands of our own elected leaders.  (Global warming scams, Go Green, the EPA)  We face unchecked greed. We face one big bad idea that gets perpetually worse, and worse, and is allowed to just keep snowballing for the short term benefit of those who are empowered by the dollars we give them.

It is time for us to recognize the causes of our problems, rather than try to fight their effects. It is time to put truth in vogue, and do away with anything that hampers it; political correctitude and social niceties be damned.

I implore you to remember that no matter how far down any path one may travel, at any point, they may turn themselves right around, and come back home. It’s not too late. Its just going to take some hard work. I’m still proud to be an American citizen, but I’m disappointed in the direction our last congress has taken us against the majorities wishes!  Just knowing the people will come together and overwhelm bad politicians again in 2012 makes me proud to be part of the effort!
