TODAY'S EDITORIAL: “If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It”
President Obama made the following statement a few months ago, “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I’ll hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it”.
He reiterated, in his last press conference, that he wants to “remake” America.
Those statements brought back to my mind what my mother used to say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. That advice should be heeded by our “Apologist in Chief”, Barack Hussein Obama. It means that if we are the best, the only change will be for the worse and it looks like he’s trying to take us down that road.
The “Obamamaniacs” say that their man has a mandate to change our country (by the way, is 52% of the vote enough to have a “mandate”?). What kind of change does he want? He’s on his way to spend us into oblivion with money we don’t have so all we’ll be left with is “change” in our pockets, and “hope” ( the other Obama catchphrase) that things will change for the better.
He is the “Pied Piper of Cluelessness”, but as the liberals always say, “ It really doesn’t matter”. Look at your 401K or your IRA and say it really doesn’t matter.
REMEMBER, IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT.

ELVIS, WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU?
Maybe it’s a generational thing or that my taste in music is woefully lacking in artistry, but using the jargon of the younger generation, the so-called music of today “sucks”.
I use the word music, but in reality, what passes off as music today is not music, but grunts, groans, guttural sounds, chanting, and obscene sexist gibberish.
I can visualize Hoagy Carmichael, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and yes, Elvis, turning over in their graves for what is being passed off by phony press agents, and bogus impresarios, as music today.
Hip Hop, Rap, Heavy Metal, New Wave, Alternative etc. is being sold by the “artists” who seem to have difficulty putting together a proper English language sentence. The culture of the new “artists”, glorifies crime, abuse of women (where are the feminists?), social chaos, and incitement to commit violence.
Is this good for our society to be bombarded with this pseudo-music? Of course not!
Remember, when our parents were complaining about Rock ‘n Roll, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Beatles? Aah, for the good ole days!
Times were a changin’ back then, but the music had a melody and two people could dance to it – sometimes very close and snugly. You could sing or hum along, tap your foot in rhythm to the lilting sounds sung or played by professional singers and musicians. It seems that the people who listen to the music of today, look like they need to be high on drugs or alcohol in order to appreciate the noise that is being promoted as music. Maybe I’m too hard on the new millionaires such as Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Jay Z, Eminem etc., but what do they offer society in any redeeming way? The silence will be deafening in trying to answer that question.
How many of the “songs” today will be performed six months from now or even years from now, like the standards of yesteryear, like “Stardust”, “Take the “A” Train”, “Melody of Love”, “Blue Suede Shoes” and yes, even “Rock Around the Clock”, which are still performed today at weddings, and at middle-aged and senior citizen get-togethers?
The young people today are missing out on a worthwhile, wholesome activity - singing and dancing together to tunes that have a melody and rhythm that does have some redeeming values.
Esteemed black entertainer Bill Cosby, as opposed to the “Rhyming Reverends”, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, has decried what is happening in the minority communities when it comes to what the youth are buying as music today, and who they look up to as role models. Ludercris is revered, and Justice Clarence Thomas is reviled. What a country!
Of course, Bill Cosby is not “politically correct”, because he is genuinely concerned with the uplifting of his community and of America in general. For all his sincere and worthwhile efforts in this regard, he is vilified and called an “Uncle Tom” by some in the black community, who cannot face the problems that Bill Cosby so aptly describes in his very forceful presentation and manner of speech.
Let’s hope the songwriters of today, who have musical talent, will not get discouraged, and those in the future with a real musical gift, will somehow turn out some decent music that all ages would appreciate, to combat the “music” that is dumbing down America today.
LONG LIVE ELVIS!

CIA Confirms: Waterboarding 9/11 Mastermind Led to Info that Aborted 9/11-Style Attack on Los Angeles
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief
(CNSNews.com) - The Central Intelligence Agency told CNSNews.com today that it stands by the assertion made in a May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that the use of “enhanced techniques” of interrogation on al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) -- including the use of waterboarding -- caused KSM to reveal information that allowed the U.S. government to thwart a planned attack on Los Angeles. Before he was waterboarded, when KSM was asked about planned attacks on the United States, he ominously told his CIA interrogators, “Soon, you will know.” According to the previously classified May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that was released by President Barack Obama last week, the thwarted attack -- which KSM called the “Second Wave”-- planned “ ‘to use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into’ a building in Los Angeles.” KSM was the mastermind of the first “hijacked-airliner” attacks on the United States, which struck the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Northern Virginia on Sept. 11, 2001.
