BRASS TACKS ON IMMIGRATION - Bill Whittle Firewall Video

We can thank the Obama Administration for offering a guaranteed right to hormone therapy for transgendered illegal aliens, to a prospective Attorney General saying that illegals have the same right to a job as US citizens or legal immigrants. The ongoing sham of the Obama administration's under-the-radar policies get seen in the light of day in this new Bill Whittle FIREWALL Video.

PATHE NEWS

Between double features at movie theaters in the 1930's and 40's, newsreels
by Pathe News was our pictorial source of the news. That is when I saw the
clip of Neville Chamberlain waving that worthless piece of paper, claiming
peace in our time.

My parents explained what was going on, and even at the age of nine, I was
able to comprehend what that man with the funny mustache and hair parted
over one brow, (Adolph Hitler) was not a man to be trusted.

What is occurring today in the middle east, with beheadings, torture, burning
and burying people alive, kidnapping and murdering women and children,
Iran's nuclear threat; it doesn't need explaining, because even a nine year
old can understand the face of terror; but the President is attributing these
atrocities to lack of opportunity and unemployment for these young protester,
rather than their warped interpretation of the Koran. His fork tongue blames
guns for killing people, but iterated in a speech at the three day summit
conference on global extremism, "Islam doesn't kill people, people kill people".
Apparently to him, it's understandable why a Jihadist would want to cut a baby
in half or incinerate another human being, because he's out of a job.

When it is explained who is doing all the horror by name, Al Qaeda, ISIS,
Boko Haram, Jihadists, all claiming to be Muslim, ..... peaceful Muslims have
no need for acronyms or identifiers to define them, so the term radical Islamists
 is justifiable and appropriate to use to identify the scourge.

The President blasphemy against Christ insulted every Christian, by trying
to equate what Christians have evolved away from centuries ago, with the
horrors being inflicted on humanity today by these savages.

Barack Hussein Obama seems to be the only one oblivious to what a 9 year
 old and most of everyone else understands to be terror.

There is something very nefarious about this President's noticeable sympathy
toward the offenders, and over cautious toward those whom we consider
 friends. Mainly Israel.

His exposure to Islam in the past through his family and Indonesian environment
in his formidable years, cannot be discounted as an influencing factor in the
lackadaisical manner toward dealing with this menace. It is a hindrance rather
than taking active leadership to end the terror.

He waves no worthless piece of paper before a camera, but his whole demeanor
speaks volumes about his naivety and incapability to grasp reality.

Capitalism vs. Socialism – Which is the better System?

With the chaos surrounding our economic situation today, the discussion and debate about the pluses and the minus’ of the competing economic systems of Capitalism and Socialism, have returned with a vigor.

Before we can begin the discussion, let’s define the terms. Capitalism is an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals and corporations. Socialism is a theory or system of social organization in which the means of production and distribution of goods are owned and controlled collectively or by the government. In a simplified nutshell, capitalists want less government ownership, and socialists want more government ownership.

Historically, the countries that have achieved the greatest amount of economic success, over the years and centuries, have been the countries that have embraced capitalism (ex.The United States, Japan, So.Korea, Australia, to name just a few). There is a smattering of socialism mixed into these countries economic systems (ex. Social Security, Medicare etc. which represents about 20% of the system overall). The ingredients that seem to have caused that success have been the right to own private property, and the incentive to reap the benefits of your hard work and due diligence by earning and keeping the monetary benefits of the fruits of your labor. Socialism, on the other hand, is very popular among the masses, which for some reason have not had the financial success that others have gained through their labors, like in the capitalist system. The predominant socialist countries of Europe and Africa, and Cuba and Venezuela in the Latin countries, with the “poster” country of disaster, Greece, are all close to or on the verge of bankruptcy. It seems that countries that espouse a plethora of government entitlement programs (giveaways and handouts), are the ones in dire financial straits. You could say that the old expression of. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch” applies to these countries except for the government “elites” who run the governments and become the wealthy class while the masses wallow in poverty.

Winston Churchill once said, “If you’re not a liberal (sympathetic to socialism) by the age of 20, you have no heart, but if you’re not a conservative (sympathetic to capitalism) by the age of 40, you have no brains”. That generalized statement by Churchill has produced some lively debate amongst economists and citizens of all the countries of the world.

The phrases used by proponents of each system can be summed up by the use of some terms that describe the benefits, as they see them, of the system they support. The capitalist believes that wealth in the hands of bright, successful, hard-working people will be the incentive to produce newer and better products and services, because of the expectation of the monetary rewards they will benefit from. They believe in the “trickle down” prosperity theory as opposed to the “trickle up” poverty theory, which they claim the socialists espouse. The socialists, on the other hand, say that wealth concentrated in the hands of the wealthy capitalists, produce a society of a few rich people and many poor people with the tendency for the rich to take advantage of the less fortunate. They claim that greed will eventually be the downfall of the capitalist system.

Granted, there have been abuses on the part of capitalists over the years in how they accumulated their wealth, but that is the price we pay for being able to live in the most modern, advanced country in the world, the United States. Most rational capitalists believe that government can and should play a role in our capitalist system by clamping down on fraud and the exploitation of labor, but once you take the incentive away, by punishing them by over taxing them and by imposing excess regulations, from people to have the opportunity to better themselves financially by their intelligence and hard work, you kill the spirit of innovation by trying to make everyone have the same outcome in life. Our Constitution states that all of us have the opportunity to succeed , not the guarantee of success. Most of the world’s economic basket cases around the world are predominantly socialist oriented countries. I don’t think that’s what “Joe the Plumber” had in mind when he asked Barack Obama his question about taking from the producers and giving to the non-producers, through taxation? We now know that the answer Obama gave to Joe that we must all “share the wealth”, has been his over riding domestic policy position during his time in office. That is one of the reasons why this “economic recovery”, under Obama, has been the worst economic recovery in modern times in the history of the U.S.

Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, once said, “The trouble with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples money ”. We now have a debt of over $18 trillion (and rising) without any attempt to rein it in so that our children and grand children are not burdened in the future with paying off this enormous debt. If we keep this up, who knows, we might become the next Greece.

MORT’s meanderings

Don’t diddle with the three most

sacred symbols of our Liberty.

The “Stars & Stripes”, “National Anthem” and the “Pledge of Allegiance”, are the three most sacred symbols of our Liberty; they represent the United States of America like no other symbolism can.  They are unique, they are time-tested and they should be – they must be, retained in their original form.  They must never be subjected to frivolous amending or to trendy interpretation.  In other words, “No diddling”.

“Stars & Stripes” (OLD GLORY) :   The most recognizable symbol of our nation is our flag.  The field of blue with 50 white stars and the 13 red & white strips in their official configuration are who we are.  While there are variations that have been adapted by our military and naval services, any and all other design alterations or innovations should be legally prohibited by Congressional legislation.   Official U. S. Flag protocol including State flags, should be taught in all public schools in conjunction with mandatory tutorials on The Constitution and other Founding documents, in their original format and content.  “No diddling.”

“The Star-Spangled Banner” (NATIONAL ANTHEM) :  Recognized for official use by the U.S. Navy in 1889, Francis Scott Key’s poem set to music, was made our National Anthem on March 3, 1931 by Congressional resolution.  The U. S. Marine Band (‘The President’s Own) plays the anthem in its traditional, official musical configuration.  When the anthem is sung by members of U. S. Military Bands, it is rendered as written and sung without interpretation.  When sung by vocalists at public events, such as at opening ceremonies for sports events, it should be sung in precisely the same way that is, as written and sung by military vocalists.  There should be no exceptions. The opportunity to sing our National Anthem in public was never intended to be an audition for the musical stage.  First amendment guarantees of ‘freedom of speech’ do  not confer singers of our National Anthem with an inherent right to manipulate or distort the words and music to ‘suit their style’.  Bookers of entertainment at public events should be aware of the ‘original intent’ regarding vocalizations of the National Anthem and insist that singers stick to the ‘official’ music, without added trills or vocalizations.  “No diddling”.

“Pledge of Allegiance”:  As of 1954, the official pledge is:  “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”    “No diddling.”
