DID YOU KNOW………… PART TWO.

· That one of the unintended (supposedly not known before passage) consequences of ObamaCare are that many companies will drop their employee medical coverage to save money. Here’s why: AT&T paid over $2.4 billion last year to cover medical costs for its 283,000 active employees. If the company dropped its health care plan and paid an annual penalty for each uninsured worker, the “fines” would total almost $600 million. So, that would leave AT&T with a tidy profit of $1.8 billion. Who’d have thunk it? Are we headed for a single-payer system when that occurs? You better believe it.

· That the Arizona legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer amended the original state immigration law so that local and state authorities can only question individuals on their immigration status after they’ve been stopped for a non-immigration offense? So, the Arizona law that has created so much turmoil and misinformation is actually less strict than the U.S. federal law that is on the books now. You go figure!

· That Al Gore’s venture capital firm of Kleiner-Perkins has invested more than a billion dollars in dozens of companies that is Kerry-Lieberman dependent (the Senate version of the “Cap and Trade” climate bill)? Is there a tie-in there? Of course not, why be so cynical?

· That the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) has revised its earlier estimates on ObamaCare and announced that instead of a savings there would be a doubling of certain costs from the legislation that was passed. It stated that over the first ten years, spending would exceed $115 billion. Two months prior, during the run-up to the vote on the ObamaCare bill that no one in the Congress had read in full, the figure was set at $55 billion based on faulty assumption set forth by Reid, Pelosi, and the Obama Administration. We can only wonder what new revelations will come out – and when – to show the actual cost of this massive legislation. My advice is to hold on to your wallets, the worst is yet to come.

· That Nature Magazine, the academic journal that introduced the world to X-Rays, DNA double helix, wave nature of particles, pulsars and more recently the human genome, is set to publish a paper in June that shows atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for only 5-10% of observed warming on Earth. The paper claims that the climate is warming, yes, but not because of greenhouse gases. This work shows conclusively that Al Gore’s much touted “scientific consensus” supporting human-caused global warming is a myth. In the largest effort to date to document global warming dissent in the scientific community, 31,486 Americans with university degrees in science – including 9,029 PhD., 7,157 MS, and DVM, and 12,714 BS or equivalent – have signed on with the Global Warming Petition Project to state that “the human-caused global warming hypothesis is without scientific validity”. Put that in your pipe, Al Gore, and smoke it.

· That George Soros, who has admitted to collaboration with the Nazi’s in his native Hungary during WWII, is one of the largest benefactors of liberal left- wing causes and the Democratic Party today. This billionaire felon has helped fund groups such as; Center for American Progress; Organizing for America (Obama’s community action group); People for the American Way; the now defunct liberal talk radio network “Air America”; Open Society Institute; MoveOn.Org.; America Coming Together; and in addition spent $26 million in 2004 trying to defeat George W. Bush for President. Can you imagine if the Republicans had a billionaire felon, like George Soros, as a benefactor? Both Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews would have an on going hissy-fit, but somehow they don’t see a sinister connection by Obama and the Democrats with this former Nazi collaborator? I wonder why?

There, now you know!

Laura Ingraham on Obama Disrespecting Veterans

The fringe MSM ignores the fact that Obama will skip the annual Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Obama, true to his word on "Change", will be the first president to ditch honoring our Veterans, on Memorial Day.

IS IT GUILT BY ASSOCIATION? PROBABLY!

Generally, it is not proper to condemn people by whom they are friends with or who they are associated with – that is called “guilt by association” – but if the evidence shows that most all your friends and associates are known radicals, anti-Semites, anti-White rabble-rousers, then you might be able to connect the dots and raise questions about that person’s character and integrity. So it is with President Barack Hussein Obama.

From his early life on, Obama gravitated to people who had radical ideas and he seems to have learned his “lessons” well. His early educational experience was in Indonesian schools where he prayed and embraced the Muslim religion (his father was a Muslim as was his step-father). When he moved to Hawaii with his radical, atheist mother to live and be brought up by his left-leaning grandparents, he hooked up with a friend of the family by the name of Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed communist and a suspected pedophile. Obama said that he considered Davis to be his mentor during those teen years in Hawaii.

When Obama moved to the States for further education at Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard law school, he said in his best-selling book, “Dreams of My Father” that he purposely associated mainly with the radical students and professors on campus. He also came to be exposed to the writings of Saul Alinsky, the father of Community Organizing who wrote the book, “Rules for Radicals”. Through the teachings of Alinsky, Obama became a Community Organizer in Chicago, using the rules laid out by Alinsky in his book (Alinsky died in 1972).

Once Obama became interested in getting involved in politics in Chicago, where he moved to after law school at Harvard, he got a big boost from an admitted domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, who held a “get-to-know the candidate” fund raising event in their home. This started the political career of Barack Hussein Obama, who eventually would become President.

When Obama needed a boost to get recognized and known in the community, he decided to join the church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of Trinity United Church. Rev. Wright baptized Obama and his family and Obama said he considered Wright as a mentor during those years. Obama was a member of Wright’s church for over 20 years and listened to the radical sermons based on the “Black Liberation Theology” espoused by Wright. His acerbic sermons were virulently anti-White, anti-Semitic, and anti-Capitalism. Only months before the presidential election of 2008, Obama resigned from the church due to all the bad publicity Rev. Wright generated by his words and actions. Obama, during this time, also befriended the radical catholic priest, Rev. Michael Pfleger; the leader of the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, who also was an anti-White, anti-Semitic bigot; Tony Rezko, who became a convicted felon after he helped Obama purchase his home in Chicago; and Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago mover and shaker who was a well known slumlord in the community that Obama was once a Community Organizer. There doesn’t seem to be any people, from his Chicago connection, who weren’t radicals or didn’t hold radical ideas in his immediate circle of friends. Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former Governor of Illinois, was also a buddy of Obama as he was part of the Chicago political machine.

Once he became President, he appointed two Chicago machine politicians whom he appointed as his closest advisors, Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, both were lobbyists which Obama said, during the campaign, he would not appoint in his administration. As he set about setting up his Administration, he appointed many Czars who also had extensive radical ideas and connections. Here is a partial list of some of these appointments. Ron Bloom (Car Czar) an auto union worker who is anti business and anti nuclear; Lynn Rosenthal (Domestic Violence Czar), a vicious anti-male feminist who supports male castration; Carol Browner (Energy and Environmental Czar) an admitted Socialist and anti-gun advocate; Van Jones (Green Jobs Czar – since withdrawn), a black activist member of the American Communist Party; Cass Sunstein (Regulatory Czar), who wants to limit free speech, and was an activist judge; John Holdren (Science Czar), a militant environmentalist who has no science training; Adolpho Carrion Jr. (Urban Affairs Czar) a Puerto Rican slumlord from the Bronx and a hostile critic of the U.S.; Jeffrey Crowley (Aids Czar), radical homosexual and gay rights activist; Gary Samore (WMD Policy Czar), a former U.S. Communist who wants the U.S. to unilaterally disarm, and many more Czars too numerous to mention.

Do you see a pattern here? Is this guilt by association? Is it unfair to imply that you could judge a man’s character by the friends he associates with? You make the call!

Eric Holder

MORT’s MEANDERINGS:

If Eric Holder were a student horn player, I could probably tolerate his unintelligible sounds - making the excuse that music charts are hard to read, without training. Quite obviously, he is not a trained musician – trained seal is more like it. Even so, he must be able to read English and sound out some English words – he is purported to be a college grad.

Watching his disgusting performance before a Congressional Judicial Committee was a national embarrassment. When he admitted that while he hadn’t actually read the 10-page Arizona law but, that he had read ‘reports’ of its contents – presumably, in the left-leaning, Obama-biased media, he lost any vestige of justification for retaining the position of U. S. Attorney General. He appeared before a Congressional Committee with apparently no preparation; that is most egregious and absolutely unforgivable. To add insult to injury, he stubbornly refused to acknowledge that ‘Radical Islam’ could possibly be a factor in crimes against the security of our nation. He didn’t want to be put in a position of sounding unfair to or accusatory of any religion. He didn’t want to ‘offend’. That did it for me.

So, I’m suggesting that in order to make his life a bit more comfy for him, he should be axxed to take a slightly modified oath of office, along the following lines:

“As Attorney General of these United States of America, I swear to protect and preserve the unlawful rights of both foreign and domestic violently radical Islamic terrorists, from being infringed upon by duly sworn officers of the Department of Justice or law enforcement agencies from any of our 57 states and further, that any legitimate citizen of the United States who even appears to cast a sideways glance at a Muslim thug (moderate or radical) will be chased down like a dog and prosecuted to the full extent of existing U.S. laws on the books, until Sharia law is established by ‘Super Mullah - Barack Hussein Obama.”

There, that oughta do it.

Socialism in America!

This is B. Hussein Obama's HOPE and CHANGE! The anointed one took True Law Abiding Patriotic Americans for the biggest ride of their life, right into SOCIALISM.

PAY TO PLAY

Those three little words just might be the words that have caused our elected representatives and senators to be held in such low esteem by the American public and it is not what our founding fathers had in mind when they gave us our Constitution. The founders envisioned that our democratic republic would be administered by selfless individuals for the betterment of all its citizens and not just for their own power and personal enrichment.

It seems that certain individuals will spend millions of dollars to get elected to a job that pays about $170,000 (as a Congressman or Senator) per year. Are they really seeking elective office to help their fellow citizens run their country or are they trying to feather their own nest for future earnings and to gain power? That’s where the words “Pay to Play” comes into play.

I’m sure there are some dedicated politicians who are trying their best to follow the mandates of the U.S. Constitution, but what about the sizable cadre of other politicians who have self-serving motives?

We’ve heard over the past few years that many of our elected representatives use “earmarks” as a means to pad their campaign chest and for future monetary considerations. When a Congressman or Senator puts an “earmark” into a budget resolution (an “earmark” is a specific grant to an individual, business or public project, in the form of allocating taxpayer money for a purpose thought to be beneficial to a constituent without having to be voted on by the other legislators) he creates the perception that he expects something in return from the entity receiving that “earmark”. Look at the legislators on the Finance Committees and see who contributes to their campaign funds for re-election? You guessed it, the financial institutions. The politician will deny the obvious, but that scenario can be documented just by checking the politician’s campaign fund statement. Could that largesse, by these “earmark” recipients, be one reason why incumbents get re-elected about 90% of the time? Even if an “earmark” is not in play, the politicians vote on a particular bill is in play. That leads to the next example.

Another gross example of the words “Pay to Play” is the fact that many retired or former legislators become “players” by becoming lobbyists for one of the many firms that are in the lobbying business. These former legislators, especially the one’s who once held high leadership positions in either chamber, are commanding big salaries sometimes in the many millions of dollars. I’m not against anybody, per se, making a lot of money (contrary to the to the socialist feelings of President Obama), but if they are hired because of their former position in the legislative body or as payback for voting a certain way while a legislator, then the fish starts to stink from the head down.

Look at the lineup of former legislators (both DEMOCRAT and Republican) who have been brought aboard the lobbying “gravy train”. Former Senators Tom Daschle (D) and Bob Dole (R), both former majority leaders of their respective parties, are pulling down million dollar salaries from the lobbying firms they represent. In addition, you have other notable legislators cashing in like Richard Gephardt (D), Bob Livingston (R), Trent Lott (R), John Breaux (D), Dick Armey (R), Ted Kennedy, Jr. (D) etc., etc. What specific knowledge or “smarts” did these people possess other than knowing the workings of the congress and who they could convince, among their former colleagues, to vote a certain way. That is “Pay to Play” and it’s not in the best interest of our country.

The “foxes in the hen house” (the legislators) have made the rules and they have left many loopholes to benefit themselves when and if they become lobbyists. Today, a former Congressman or Senator cannot become a lobbyist until two years after he leaves that office, but they very conveniently become “consultants” not lobbyists, but still command six and seven figure salaries. Tom Daschle (D) calls himself a consultant, what a sham.

The system of “one hand washes the other” is one reason why the public has such a low opinion of the Congressmen and Senators. These hypocrites lambaste some corporation CEO’s for greed, but practice the same greedy ways in their own lives. SHAME ON THEM, BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY HAVE NO SHAME!

OBAMA’S CRITERIA FOR SUPREME COURT NOMINEES

MORT’s MEANDERINGS

It should be obvious to all by now, that our erstwhile “Fellow-Traveler Speaker-in-Chief” does indeed have criteria for the selection of his nominees to The Supreme Court. First among them seems to be, that the nominee be a female of one species or another - and ‘off-the-charts ugly. Secondly, that the nominee be totally bereft of any directly-related experience or demonstrated familiarity with, much less possessing any competence in the area of jurisprudence. Thirdly, that she (now and forever, it’ll be a ‘she’) is a FOB (Friend of Barack) and dedicated to all things subversive, with a record of proven opposition to The Constitution of the United States. After that and in no special order but, seriously taken into consideration - - thick ankles; unkempt hair-do; overall manly appearance; a healthy distrust of legal precedent and fellow Justices; a marked propensity for foreign despots who habitually espouse vitriolic hatred of all things American.

WHO ARE THE POLITICAL HATERS?

Lately, the “unhinged left” have been accusing anyone with the label of Republican, Conservative, right-wing, “Tea Partier” etc. as being racists, bigots, advocates of violence and intolerant dolts and rednecks. That’s quite a slander and libel against a group of fellow citizens. Is it true?

The closer we get to the November elections, it seems that the more strident these outrageous charges are becoming against the people who are protesting the President and the agenda of the Democrats. They (the liberals) seem to see the writing on the wall that the Republicans are headed for a big victory and they just can’t handle it. They are really becoming unhinged.

Stories and anecdotes, made up of “whole cloth”, about bigoted, racist signs at the “Tea Parties”, calls for violence against Congressmen, the use of the “N” word against black people and a host of other unsubstantiated charges, are being articulated by liberals as “facts” when the “facts” don’t back them up.

Just recently, Congressman Bart Stupak, who was against the health care bill before he voted for it (does that sound familiar?), had some people in his camp claim that he was threatened because of the health care debate. These flacks implied that it was people who support the “Tea Party” philosophy who were making the threats. Let’s take a look at those charges. The threats supposedly were made prior to the actual vote in the House of Representatives when Stupak was against the bill because of the wording on the abortion issue contained in the bill. His withholding of support was what the “Tea Party” people were in favor of. Why would they threaten someone who seemed to be in favor of their political position? Most likely, it was the people in support of passage (the Democrats) of the bill who threatened him because they feared he might sabotage the passage of the bill. He (Stupak), as you now know, changed his mind just 4 hours before the actual vote after the pressure was applied by the White House and the Democratic leadership (Pelosi, Hoyer). So, the claim against the Republicans, Conservatives, and the “Tea Party” people were a “red herring” and a diversion to gin up support for the misguided bill and to malign the opposition. What a bunch of hypocrites the “loony liberals” are?

When it comes to trying to stifle free speech (the 1st Amendment), it has historically been the “left” who has engaged in that kind of disruptive behavior.

Conservative speakers at Colleges and Universities are routinely shouted down, and cream pies and raw eggs are thrown at them to keep them from offering their messages to the audiences. How many incidents have you heard of where liberals received that kind of treatment to keep them from talking? The list of conservative speakers who have encountered these “violent” hooligans, to name a few, are David Horowitz, Ann Coulter, and the President of the “Minutemen”, the Israeli Counsel, and others too numerous to mention.

So, it’s not the “thugs” of the right that are the culprits, but the so-called peace-loving, tolerant liberal left that has caused most of the disruptions and personal threats against individuals. The people attending the “Tea Parties” and the town-hall meetings are mostly well-behaved, non-violent and angry and frustrated at what their government is doing to them. At all their gatherings, not one arrest was made for disorderly conduct. They have a right for redress against their government and they are the one’s that should be protected and not smeared by the “loony left” and the “lame stream media”. The fable about the “Boy who cried wolf” would certainly be apropos in describing the actions of the liberal left (or are they called “progressives” now?). No matter how you package it, is still wrong.

About the Gulf Oil Spill

For those who maybe wondering, it is clear, the Federal government is screwing up again, although I can not say this is particularly Obama's fault -- just the way the government works!

For almost the last 20 years, I have been involved with several products that quickly and completely collect, solidify and immobilize oil [hydrocarbons]. The products QUICKLY turn even crude oil into a plastic like blob that floats on the water, is not a danger to fish, birds or any other marine life. Exxon has been very happy with it, as have a number of other firms, BUT all the Coast Guard [the controlling authority] will allow to be used are DISPERSANTS -- i.e. soap, so the oil is not visible to tv cameras or people! The booms they are using only corral the oil, rather than the booms I have that wick oil in and get it out of the way. In fact, AFTER oil has been encapsulated, it can be BURNED FOR ENERGY in a waste to energy facility, giving more power than coal, and less pollution. While BP, Tidewater and others are not without fault, they can not put a TEASPOON in the water without SPECIFIC FEDERAL APPROVAL. Worse yet is that as the oil comes to shore, IF the dispersents are used there as well, the damage to sea life in the shallow water and marshes will not be pretty. I have proof that the government is acting this way so as to STOP 'DRILL BABY DRILL' but I know of no other reason -- of course there is stupidity, obstinacy and bureaucracy.

Research information:
The problem CAN BE HANDLED but the government system is tying everything up. I have been warehousing and selling these materials for almost 20 years. NoChar's bonders are THE BEST -- see http://www.nochar.com/Environmental%20Products.htm since they work fast, and encapsulated material is not a waste but can be burned for energy. MOP, http://www.mopenvironmental.com/ has some very effective absorbents, much better than others in their speed, completeness and easy disposability.

Obama has said that America has no right to impose its way of life onto other nations; I agree with that. Yet, he seems to have no compunction about imposing European-style Socialism onto our uniquely American way of life; I vehemently disagree with that.
I’ve just checked my notes - as part owner of this country (1/300 millionth share) I never authorized him to do that.

THE DEFINITION OF A CORRUPT POLITICIAN – CHARLIE CRIST!

I’m not trying to be flippant because I am now supporting Marco Rubio for the U.S. Senate from Florida. I am dead serious.

If ever there was a “poster boy” for being a self-serving politician, Charlie Crist is the guy. He is all for himself, he couldn’t care less for honesty, integrity, and loyalty. He reminds me of the little boy who gets called out in a sandlot game (do they still have sandlot games?) and gets piqued and takes his bat and ball, which they were using in the game, and goes home to momma thereby stopping the game for the others.

Most Republicans supported Crist when he ran and won the Florida governorship and supported him big-time up till the beginning of 2008, when his support started to wane due to some political backstabbing. Word got out that he was going to support Rudy Guiliani for President, but when he was mentioned as a vice-presidential candidate for a McCain ticket, he switched his support from Giuliani to McCain. It was determined then that Charlie Crist’s word was not to be trusted and the erosion of his G.O.P. support started to unravel slowly but surely. Over the past year and a half, the perception of Charlie Crist, is a politician who puts his finger up in the air to see which way the wind was blowing and then he follows the wind. Does the name Bill Clinton come to mind?

Take, for instance, Charlie was originally against drilling for gas and oil off the coast of Florida, but when he was mentioned as a potential Veep candidate, he suddenly switched and became a proponent of drilling. A miraculous conversion occurred, to say the least. Now, as he plans to run as an independent, he now has reservations again about whether drilling is a good thing to pursue. Maybe he has his eyes on the liberals and the Democrats he is planning to court during his “independent” campaign?

In addition, last year it was almost unanimous within the Republican Party to oppose the Obama “Stimulus Bill”. Being promised money for some of his pet projects, like a bullet train between Tampa and Orlando, he embraced Obama in Tampa and eagerly accepted the promise of getting funds from the “Stimulus Bill”. That hug and flowing praise by Crist for Obama did not sit well with the G.O.P. rank and file, but he still had substantial support within the G.O.P. But, some rumblings were starting to be heard from the troops on the ground in the Republican Party.

In the meantime, he made it known that he was interested in running for the Senate seat that was once held by Mel Martinez. He was considered to be the front-runner for the nomination. Out of nowhere, a young, good-looking, articulate conservative state legislator by the name of Marco Rubio made it be known that he was going to challenge Crist and run for the Senate seat. When Rubio made his announcement, Charlie Crist had over a 30 point lead and millions of dollars in his campaign chest. He was an odds-on favorite.

As Crist waffled or flip-flopped on issue after issue and Rubio’s energetic campaigning around the state, the once insurmountable lead of Charlie Crist evaporated. Over the past few months, Rubio came on like gangbusters and opened up a double digit lead over Charlie Crist. Panic set in the Crist camp and rumors of an independent run was put out as a possibility as the polls continued to tumble. On Fox News Sunday in April, five times Chris Wallace asked him if would run for the Senate as a Republican and five times he unequivocally said yes. Now, since Crist has lost most of the conservative base, he looked to do something to appeal to the liberals, so when the education reform bill, which he was in favor of as a Republican, came to his governor’s desk, he flip-flopped again and vetoed the bill, ingratiating himself with the liberal teacher’s union and hopefully gaining their support in November.

Some people wonder what principles Charlie Crist have. This political “narcissist” seems to be interested only in himself and his self-preservation as a politician, the Party and the public be damned.

So, goodbye Charlie, it was nice knowing you when you still had some integrity.
