WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?

It's easy to dismiss individual Programs that benefit non-citizens until they're put together and this picture emerges. Someone did a lot of research to put together all of this data. Often these programs are buried within other programs making them difficult to find.

A Real Eye Opener--WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?

You think the war in Iraq was costing us too much? Read this:

We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

Chuck Norris: Feds' War on Religion (Part 1 of 2)

December 20, 2011

By Chuck Norris

Anyone who knows me knows that for my whole life, I've been a huge supporter of our U.S. military personnel, whom I congratulate about their victory in Iraq. But when our president and officials in the U.S. Department of Defense exchange a war abroad for a religious war at home, can't we see that something else is seriously awry in this administration?

It's one thing to watch "merry Christmas" be omitted from signs in your favorite department store but quite another to see Bibles withheld from wounded warriors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. It's true! On Dec. 2, the Family Research Council reported that it had discovered a memo released in September at the esteemed military hospital, in which Navy officials announced that "no religious items (including Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit."

Thank God for those in the FRC, as well as Rep. Randy Forbes and other members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, who demanded to meet with officials at Walter Reed and in the Navy about the matter. Just a few days ago, Vice Adm. John Mateczun confessed that the memo had not been properly evaluated and was being rescinded, and Walter Reed posted a public apology on its website.

But imagine if the FRC had not found this memo. Imagine how many others like it aren't found and are circulated around the federal government.

If you think this is an isolated incident, consider the following dozen-plus examples reported in the past six months alone by the FRC and Rep. Forbes' office and a few of my own I found, which document how religious freedom and Christian liberty in particular have been limited, quarantined, omitted or outright obliterated.

--The Air Force Academy apologized for merely announcing Operation Christmas Child --a Christian-based charity and relief program designed to send holiday gifts to impoverished children around the world.

--Yet the Air Force is building an $80,000 Stonehenge-like worship site for "earth-based" religions, including "pagans, Wiccans, druids, witches and followers of Native American faiths."

--The Marine Corps considered tearing down a Camp Pendleton cross meant to honor fallen heroes.

--Air Force officials stripped religious curriculum from a 20-year-old course on "just war theory."

--The Department of Veterans Affairs censored references to God and Jesus during prayers at Houston National Cemetery.

--The Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate passed the $662 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which included a repeal of Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which states: "Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy."

--The Department of Health and Human Services unveiled new health care rules that ignore basic conscience protections for medical workers with faith-based objections to abortion and contraception.

--Officials at HHS denied funding for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' successful program for sex trafficking victims because of the church's teaching on human life.

--Administration officials refused to intervene in the closing of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

--President Barack Obama has lobbied for the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would trample on the faith of employers in hiring, firing and promotion decisions.

--The Pentagon released new regulations that force chaplains to perform same-sex "weddings" despite their religious objections.

--Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demonized other countries' religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights.

--Just this past week, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation sent a letter to officials at Travis Air Force Base, demanding the removal or transfer of a Nativity scene and a menorah that are part of a larger holiday display on the base.

What is going on in the U.S. military? Why is it so difficult for the feds to understand the free exercise clause of the First Amendment, which says they "shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"?

And how many of these restrictions of our religious liberties are direct results of President Obama's being in office? And if these occurred in just the past six months, imagine what would happen in another four years if Obama were to be re-elected. Our service members, as well as our devoted military Christian chaplains, deserve better.

Howard Galganov Editorial: Obama Lies—America Dies

ABSOLUTE MUST READ!!!  ~Lynn

Obama and his scurrilous crew know that they have no record to run on. At least not a record they can be proud of. They also know that they can’t go back to the mantra of: IT’S BUSH’S FAULT. And there’s just so much demonizing of the eventual Republican Candidate that the people will absorb. They will try to vilify the Republican led House as being obstructionists and cold-hearted to the plight of the middle class and poor segment of the American people.


But . . . that too will carry only so much weight.

Sun Journal New Bern—Letter to the Editor:

Truth over propaganda, by CCTA Member, Cheryl Switzer

February 05, 2011 9:31 PM



In the letter “Disputing several claims,” the author wants us to believe “politically simplistic responses to complex issues” are inane. Friends, that’s exactly what an elitist attitude is all about. Our Constitution is not complex. The original intent of the Constitution is well thought out and based on common sense in order to protect our republic. Therefore, common sense must dictate the operation of our federal government. Doesn’t common sense tell you, for example, that you cannot responsibly place the country in debt to the tune of $14 trillion? Didn’t think so.


The author covered several topics erroneously.

First, only those with a financial interest in global warming and environmental issues push for more regulation. Their scare tactics are ludicrous, purposefully phrased for shock value and funding. Forget the fact that over-regulation has stymied the growth of and shut down businesses, or forced them out of the country. Power and greed are the motives behind these topics, not protection for the people or the planet.

Second, whether President Bush was right or wrong about the Iraq war doesn’t matter. The important issue is the terrorists. They threaten the stability of the East and our own interests. Bush did not attack the Twin Towers — terrorists did. We have terrorists and their leaders in the United States right now. They work through the Muslim Brotherhood, and although they are a seemingly benign nonpartisan group, they are a deadly, powerful, and a conniving force that we as citizens will have to deal with eventually.

Third, Sarah Palin stepped down as governor of Alaska for valid reasons. The media had raked her over the coals out of fear. She was demeaned and criticized beyond all truth and ended up with an insurmountable amount of debt. Fighting accusations and lies took her focus from her job. She had no choice. Palin is not some airhead to be dismissed lightly. At least she has a down-to-earth approach based on faith and common sense. I would prefer her as president over many of our past presidents.

Fourth, “Our future in the world’s pecking order is” not “dependent on the health of our children.” It is dependent on the education of our children. The Department of Education needs to be removed, the teachers’ unions need to be removed, and the states need to take over education. Money will not educate our children. It takes basics, parenting, disciplined schools, and good teachers. Everything the federal government touches it destroys.

Fifth, to answer the author’s question of “If women can fight side by side with men, why can’t homosexuals?” Women don’t need to be on the front lines. They are not as naturally strong as males. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT) should never be allowed in the military. They are a minority group pushing a progressive lifestyle on society. Not only does it corrupt our culture, it places our military personnel in a very awkward position. After passage of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Sen. Voinovich replied, “Our military leaders have assured Congress that our troops will engage in training and address relevant issues before instituting this policy change.” Well isn’t that nice. Our hard-fighting men and women will have to have lessons on the warm and fuzzy, politically correct way to handle gays, and when an openly gay person can’t cut the military, they’ll swear they were discriminated against or when one lays a hand on a straight soldier and he or she cold-cocks him or worse, who will pay the price? You can bet it won’t be the gay one. Perhaps the new Congress can step up to the plate before this repeal goes into effect and before the avalanche starts by the LGBTs demanding full rights now afforded to a man and woman as husband and wife.

Folks, this isn’t about how someone feels or what they do in the bedroom. It is about our military and our culture. It is what we teach our children as acceptable behavior, about Natural Law, faith, and about what is right. The LGBTs are a minority dictating to the majority of this God-fearing country and changing our culture in the process. Am I the only one who can see that this is insane? What’s next? Will bestiality and pedophilia be considered the next acceptable social fixes for a progressive society that believes anything and everything is OK? I’m sure that zoophiles and pedophiles are a minority who think that what they do is acceptable. Wake up America, our culture is at stake, not to mention our souls.

Sixth, with regard to death panels. It is a fact that the federal government cannot afford the cost of Obamacare even if it were constitutional. The unsustainable cost is a threat to our economy. Obamacare will lead to rationing of services just like the limits placed on patient care through Medicare. “No, you cannot have that particular test done. It is not covered under Medicare even though it would tell us exactly what is going on,” spoken to my husband last week.

Obamacare is very similar to the British health care system where end of life care is callously poor due to rationed health care. “The older and sicker people are, the less care they get,” according to a World Net Daily article, “Doctor’s Orders, Obamacare to be 1 big ‘death panel’ just as in U.K. – government system will lead to early demise of seniors,” available online at: http://www.wnd.com/?pageId107403. And your “politifacts” referred to in your article is not investigative journalism, but they do illustrate the media’s lack of credibility. It is the same media that leads unsuspecting Americans around by their noses.

Finally, truth will overcome propaganda in the end. The tea party revelers are a diverse group of Americans from all walks of life and professions. They are concerned citizens who are doing what needs to be done — participating in government. We have been complacent for too long. God bless them.

The WikiLeaks Vindication of George W. Bush

The WikiLeaks de facto declassification of privileged material makes it case closed: Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction -- and intended to restart his program once the heat was off.


President George W. Bush, in the 2003 State of the Union address, uttered the infamous "16 words": "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Former Ambassador Joe Wilson sprang into action and, in an op-ed piece, in effect wrote, "No, the Cheney administration sent me to investigate the allegation -- and I found it without merit."

Put aside that Wilson's CIA-employed wife, not the evil Vice President Dick Cheney -- as Wilson implied -- sent him on the African errand. Put aside that the British still stand by the intelligence on which Bush made the claim. And put aside that the anti-Bush Washington Post, in an editorial, concluded that Wilson had lied about not finding evidence to support the Iraq-in-Africa-for-uranium claim, since he told the CIA the opposite when he reported back from Africa.

Bush claimed that Iraq sought uranium, specifically "yellowcake." What is yellowcake, and why would its presence or attempted acquisition corroborate the nearly unanimous assumption that Saddam possessed WMD?

The Associated Press called yellowcake "the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment" and said that it "also can be enriched for use in reactors and, at higher levels, nuclear weapons using sophisticated equipment."

"Bush and Iraq: Follow the Yellow Cake Road" headlined a euphoric Time magazine July 2003 piece -- written when the Bush administration began backtracking from the Iraq-sought-uranium-from-Africa claim. Time said no yellowcake equals no WMD equals bogus basis for war.

The article led with this ripper: "Is a fib really a fib if the teller is unaware that he is uttering an untruth? That question appears to be the basis of the White House defense, having now admitted a falsehood in President Bush's claim, in his State of the Union address, that Iraq had tried to buy uranium in Africa."

Time hoisted (the now discredited) Joe Wilson on its shoulders as The Man Who Told the Truth to Power: "Just last weekend, the man sent by the CIA to check out the Niger story broke cover and revealed that he had thoroughly debunked the allegation many months before President Bush repeated it." Never mind that the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Wilson's report "lent more credibility to the original Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports on the uranium deal" sought by Iraq in Niger.

Let's recap.

Bush, in building the case for war against Iraq, lied to the nation. He falsely claimed that Iraq was attempting to purchase yellowcake from Africa. Time magazine specifically referred to the yellowcake "lie" in accusing Bush of fabricating the case for war. Therefore, were Iraq to have had yellowcake -- an assertion called a "lie" -- it would have confirmed the presence of WMD, giving credence to Bush's declaration of Iraq as a "grave and gathering threat."


But ... there ... was ... yellowcake. This brings us back to WikiLeaks.

Wired magazine's contributing editor Noah Shachtman -- a nonresident fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution -- researched the 400,000 WikiLeaked documents released in October. Here's what he found: "By late 2003, even the Bush White House's staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But WikiLeaks' newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). ... Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam's toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict -- and may have brewed up their own deadly agents."

In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq -- on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels -- what even The Associated Press called "the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program": 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake. The New York Sun editorialized: "The uranium issue is not a trivial one, because Iraq, sitting on vast oil reserves, has no peaceful need for nuclear power. ... To leave this nuclear material sitting around the Middle East in the hands of Saddam ... would have been too big a risk."

Now the mainscream media no longer deem yellowcake -- the WMD Bush supposedly lied about -- a WMD. It was, well, old. It was degraded. It was not what we think of when we think of WMD. Really? Square that with what former Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean said in April 2004: "There were no weapons of mass destruction." MSNBC's Rachel Maddow goes even further, insisting, against the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that "Saddam Hussein was not pursuing weapons of mass destruction"!

Bush, hammered by the insidious "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra, endured one of the most vicious smears against any president in history. He is owed an apology.

When Hollywood makes "The Vindication of George W. Bush," maybe Sean Penn can play the lead.
