WOW!___ LEFT 360?_____Well, somebody’s FINALLY got some Kahunas & using their damn heads! _But, wait, There’s gotta be a loop hold somewhere?

According to comcast headline news, Attorney General, Eric Holder claims now, that “no” Terrorist Detainees will be released into America.

Republicans critical of Obama’s plan claim Guantanamo detainees cannot legally be brought to the United States because federal law bars anyone who has received terrorist training.

Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., questioned Holder as to whether he believed he had the authority to release someone with terrorist training into the United States. The attorney general did not  answer Shelby’s question, but said the government does not have any plans to release terrorists.

“With regard to those who you would describe as terrorists, we would not bring them into this country and release them, anyone we would consider to be a terrorist,” Holder said.

He also added the government has no plans to release anyone considered a terrorist in a foreign country, either.

I’ve Only ONE question, If your still closing GITMO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YA GONNA DO WITH THEM? How can you feasibly ask another country to take these detainees, if we won’t do it ourselves? You Can’t!

There’s only one other answer, DON’T CLOSE GITMO! Your serve Washington

God Bless America

The Immature attitudes of the Liberals since Bambi took office is beginning to become old news. The Libs have control of the office of the President, the House and The Senate and are not only smearing The Bush Admin. but those of us who are Conservative as well.   We are apparently still being portrayed as extremists. It appears, Even when they the Dems win, they continue to demonstrate to be idiots.

Republicans don’t need to be re branded or update to be popular, we vote on principles not popular sentiment, as I’ve posted many times before. Liberals Seem to think, were out of touch with our old world values, that we are to just cowher and let you Libs do as you please without opposition. When we do oppose, we’re then labeled as insubordinate of  Federal Authority. I believe we have reached the time to say that you Liberals need to get a life of your own. Stop looking at those of us who oppose your agenda as threats, which is ludicrous!! I can’t help but wonder why, it’s so important that all of America need to find your Liberal  Socialist & Fascism policies appealing. Although without our opposition, your agenda would be much easier to sell. A lot of what is done can be undone! In less than four years there’s another Presidential election, and at most we’ll have to endure your Socialism  Agenda for 8 years. But then, just like an aging stage star, your brief and shining moment in the sun, will be gone and you will be history.

We have enough trouble brewing in the Middle East, to have this type of Domestic unrest here in America. But as usual, the Bush’s & the Conservatives will continue to be to blamed for the division, as we hold our ground and not roll over to popular beliefs & culture of the Swift movement of the Liberal Party.

As a Conservative, I will continue to scoff, at being labeled as an Extremist and thought of as a threat, for merely exercising my right as an individual to freedom of speech. I will continue to be Pro-GOD,  Prolife, pro Capitalisum, Con on Big Government to be allowed to own & operate corporations such as GM, Chrysler & Banks with hire and fire privileges. I will continue to give a thumbs down to taxing future Generations not even born yet, to support present dead beats that our Government continually props up and teaches our young that Government is the only way of things. Instead of encouraging people to be independent enough to better themselves. I will continue to scoff at Washngtons News Media, and the Obama Administration insisting that Americans need Government intervention in their lives. I was to have been an abortion myself, ( due to my mothers  illness) 53 years ago, you the Government didn’t intervene and save me. Given Government view on abortion, I would have died. God saved me, and he and I have done well without you and your Fascist agenda! My family and I”ve lived under the same roof over for over 30 years.  It’s been a struggle but we’ve made it so far and by the grace of the good lord will continue to do so! We have a life  and we will continue on no matter what the Obama Admin throw at us, our stance as Conservatives will stand. and we will not waiver or compromise or rebrand our party. We will continue to be at peace with God & ourselves, regardless of what or who trys to remake America. We view and rubuk the current administration, and we realize it is only temporary. In our heart or hearts, We know, This will always be the America we remember as children. STRONG, A NATION OF GOD FEARING INDEPENDENT MEN AND WOMEN, WHO RAISED US TO BE THE SAME……MAY GOD BLESS US

New Look, same content and posting later today, Thank You for your interest!

Money and Power -  Several banks that took the Government bailout money are now in a position to return the money to the treasury, but Geithner is suggesting not yet….
Is it because _ He feels, the market isn’t stable enough or is it the fact that the Government would lose power by relinquishing the  power back to the banks? YOU CALL IT……

At 52, I now know, I truly know, we Conservatives have got our work cut out for us, until the next election. I ranted and raved, a day or two ago about the release of Bush Admin. CIA interrogation files and the possible prosecution for those involved, again with the BUSH ADMIN??? CAN ANYONE SAY OBSESSION HERE??? The CIA, the FBI and any other special agency is a whole other world that, We the people are not party to. We are not meant to be. How can a community organizer, turned President Obama with no prior experience in foreign policy, boast that he knows anything about intelligence!!! As an CIA Agent, I’m damn sure, You don’t discuss your disdain with terrorists, over coffee & krumpets. You don’t keep America Safe, by playing NICEY, NICEY either! You don’t get additonal information from terrorists, by slapping their wrists and standing them in a corner!!!!… It’s the CIA’s job is to protect America!?!!.
Look folks, A friend of both myself and my husband, who we went to school with, went in the Military right out of high school. He Became a  Career man and worked in CID. He was shot twice at 2 different times and damn near died. He was knifed on 5 different occasions and managed to make it 20 years to retirement!. I guess you think, he and the criminals he was after, discussed the weather?!?. Or perhaps, I’ll call him Hank, whipped out his cell phone to make an appointment for counseling to rationally discuss, why the criminal was having a bad day?!??!….My GOD, my five year old Grand daughter’s got more sense!!…. President Obama, what the Hell do you know about intelligence?  There is a Hell of a lot of Leaders of other Countries who are not thrilled with The United States and what we stand for, who would love nothing more than to blow us off the face of the earth. But no, you run around the Country Apologizing for everything we’ve done and vowing to be nicer to prisoners…DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CRIMINAL AND A VICTUM???!….Why in the Hell would you release information like this and put our Country at more risk than we all ready are? Let intelligence, to intelligence!?!. Your NOT the Christ Child! I realize your socialistic background pushes you into wanting to control everything, but your out of your league here. This all about smashing the Good name of President BUSH and his admin. Wether you like it or not THE CIA & the BUSH admin protected us from another attack after 9/11. Get off your obsession with Bush, he did a good job for 8 years before you got there and you don’t like being over shadowed by him!…. GET OVER IT and run the damn country!

THE VIGILANT AMERICAN

“LIBERTY CANNOT BE PRESERVED WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE PEOPLE”
JOHN ADAMS

We were British subjects when Early America, Engaged in a Battle within it’s own power….
Below is the story of the MEN WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING, TO GIVE BIRTH TO A NEW NATION……

THE DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE …..It was the year 1775 when fifty-six courageous men broke free from English rule, each with a hope in their heart of forming a more perfect union. The men came from all walks of life. Twenty-four were Jurists & Lawyers. Nine were famers & eleven were merchants. There were owners of large plantations, well educated men of stature & means.
As they gathered and signed the Declaration of Independence each of them knew full well the dangers if captured and that Death would surely follow.
Five of the original signers were captured and tortured before their deaths.
Twelve had homes & property plundered and burned to the ground. Two lost their sons while serving in the Revolutionary War. Another lost two sons to capture. The remaining nine died from hardships and or wounds resulting from the War. Those that survived, went on to become some the most well respected & prominent men of that time in society and in history, such as THOMAS JEFFERSON, the principal Author of the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE & the third President of The UNITED STATES of AMERICA….

Reading the history of our early beginnings, one cannot help, but visualize, 56 men meeting in secret, like a pack of what I’m sure England would’ve called Vigilantes.
These men had a vision, a truth. Although they’ve separated from England and were wanted men, ignoring the bounty on their heads, to risk it all to form a new Nation…. As ancestors of these men, we continue to enjoy today the Hope & Freedom the Founders fought & died for.
The precursor to the Constitution was written and was called, the Articles of the Confederation. It was set into place to further protect the newly formed Governments of States from, recreating the centralized power that these men scorned & fled from in Great Britain.
However, weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation (was actually the first constitution) became apparent before the Revolution ended. Even before the thirteenth State of Maryland conditionally joined the “firm league of friendship” on March 1, 1781, the need for a revenue amendment was widely conceded. Under the articles, Congress lacked authority to levy taxes; instead, it could request the States to contribute a share to the common treasury. The amounts gained through this technique were not sufficient. To remedy this defect, Congress applied to the States for power to lay duties and secure the public debts. Twelve States agreed to such an amendment, but Rhode Island refused its consent, thereby defeating the proposal.
The Liberum Veto emphasized a second weakness in the Articles of Confederation. Each State possessed the right to veto whenever amendments to that instrument were proposed. Not only did all amendments have to be ratified by each of the thirteen states, but also all important legislation needed the approval of nine States. With several delegations absent, one or two States were often able to defeat legislative proposals of major importance.
The period between the adoption of the Articles of Confederation in 1781 and the drafting of the Constitution in 1787 has been seen by some historians as one of weakness, dissension, and turmoil, and by others as basically stable and prosperous. Although the Constitution was drafted in 1787, it did not take full effect until it’s ratification in 1789 and once completed, provided the frame work for the organization of The United States Government.
This Nation has survived 222 years as Blood continues to spill & men died to protect what the original 56, drafted and called a Nation. God the Supreme being was revered & feared and kept at-the-fore front. The worship of God brought powerful, magnificent men to their knees in prayer, in both times of strife and at times of peace. Powerful men such as George Washington & Abraham Lincoln. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and a religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the Government of any other” JOHN ADAMS
It is essential for us as Americans to remember where we came from, as we look forward to an uncertain future. As we go about our daily lives, it would do us well to keep our eye on the prize, which is Liberty. For It’s is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. Dick Cheney
Guided by the past, with Hope & Prayer for the Future, is The Vigilant American. TLN 2009

THE GIPPER
“People are tired of wasteful government programs and welfare chiselers, and they’re angry about the constant spiral of taxes and government regulations, arrogant bureaucrats, and public officials who think all of mankind’s problems can be solved by throwing the taxpayers’ dollars at them.” ++ “Government can’t tax things like businesses or corporations, it can only tax people. When it says it’s going to ‘make business pay,’ it is really saying it is going to make business help it collect taxes.” ++ “We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.” ++ “Our tax policy is engineered by people who view tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure.” ++ “Raising taxes will slow economic growth, reduce production, and destroy future jobs, making it more difficult for those without jobs to find them and more likely that those who now have jobs could lose them.” ++ “My friends, history is clear: Lower tax rates mean greater freedom, and whenever we lower the tax rates, our entire nation is better off.” –Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

A TREMENDOUS MAN AND A TREMENDOUS LEADER, THE LATE FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN!

Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than state owned and controlled.^[1[2 Through capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned, operated, and traded by private individuals either singly or jointly,^[3[4 and investments, distribution, income, production, pricing and supply of goods, commodities and services are determined by voluntary private decision in a market economy.^[5[6 A distinguishing feature of capitalism is that each person owns his or her own labor and therefore is allowed to sell the use of it to employers.^[3[7 In a “capitalist state”, private rights and property relations are protected by the rule of law of a limited regulatory framework.^[8[9 In the modern capitalist state, legislative action is confined to defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market,^[8[9 though the state may provide some public goods and infrastructure.^[10

Some consider laissez-faire to be “pure capitalism.”^[11 Laissez-faire (French, “leave to do (by itself)”), signifies minimizing^[12 or eliminating state interference in economic affairs and the competitive process, allowing the free play of supply and demand. Laissez-faire capitalism has never existed in practice.^[11[13[14 Because all large economies today have a mixture of private and public ownership and control, some feel that the term “mixed economies” more precisely describes most contemporary economies.^[15[16 In the “capitalist mixed economy“, the state intervenes in market activity and provides many services.^[17

During the last century, capitalism has often been contrasted with centrally planned economies. The central axiom of capitalism is that the best allocation of resources is achieved through consumers having free choice, and producers responding accordingly to meet collective consumer demand. This contrasts with planned economies in which the state directs what shall be produced. A consequence is the belief that privatization of previously state-provided services will tend to achieve a more efficient delivery thereof. Further implications are usually in favor of free trade, and abolition of subsidies. Although individuals and groups must act rationally in any society for their own good, the consequences of both rational and irrational actions are said to be more readily apparent in a capitalist society.

Capitalistic economic practices incrementally became institutionalized in England between the 16th and 19th centuries, although some features of capitalist organization existed in the ancient world, and early aspects of merchant capitalism^[18 flourished during the Late Middle Ages.^[19 Capitalism has been dominant in the Western world since the end of feudalism.^[19 From Britain, it gradually spread throughout Europe, across political and cultural frontiers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, capitalism provided the main, but not exclusive, means of industrialization throughout much of the world.^[20

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equality for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation.[1[2 Modern socialism originated in the late 19th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticized the effects of industrialization and private ownership on society. Karl Marx posited that socialism (the disappearance of class and therefore state) would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution after a long transitional stage from capitalism called the Dictatorship of the proletariat.[3[4[5

The utopian socialists by later socialist thinkers, and include Robert Owen, who tried to found socialist factories and other structures within a capitalist society and Henri de Saint Simon, the first individual to coin the term “socialism” and the originator of technocracy and industrial planning. The first socialists predicted a world improved by harnessing technology and combining it with better social organization, and many contemporary socialists share this belief.[6[7 Early socialist thinkers tended to favor more authentic meritocracy, while many modern socialists have a more egalitarian approach. There is disagreement over the extent that National Socialism is socialist; although Adolf Hitler’s party program included socialist elements, the Nazis did not nationalize industry, but instead created a highly regulated economy with state-led economic planning.

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society. Therefore socialists advocate the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly based on the amount of work expended in production, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved

I RECEIVED THIS PRAYER, THIS AFTERNOON IN AN EMAIL AND FELT IT MY DUTY TO PASS IT ON…….This prayer was given by Minister Joe Wright in 1996 prior to A new open session of the Kansas Senate, everyone expected the usual generalities, but instead this is what they heard…..

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS AND TO SEEK YOUR DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE. WE KNOW YOUR WORD SAYS “WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD” BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE’VE DONE.

WE HAVE LOST SPIRITUAL EQUALIBRIUM AND REVERSED OUR VALUES.

WE HAVE REWARDED LAZINESS AND CALLED IT WELFARE.

WE HAVE KILLED OUR UNBORN AND CALLED IT CHOICE.

WE HAVE SHOT ABORTIONISTS AND CALLED IT JUSTIFIABLE.

WE HAVE NEGLECTED TO DISCIPLINE OUR CHILDREN AND WE CALL IT “BUILDING SELF ESTEEM”.

WE HAVE ABUSED OUR POWER AND CALL IT POLITICS.

WE HAVE COVETED OUR NEIGHBORS POSSESSIONS AND CALLED IT AMBITION.

WE HAVE POLLUTED THE AIR WITH PROFANITY AND PORNOGRAPHY AND CALL IT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

WE HAVE RIDICULED THE TIME HONORED VALUES OF OUR FOREFATHERS AND CALLED IT ENLIGHTENMENT.

SEARCH US, OH GOD, AND KNOW OUR HEARTS TODAY: CLEANSE US FROM EVERY SIN AND SET US FREE, AMEN!

THE RESPONSE WAS IMMEDIATE. A NUMBER OF LEGISLATORS WALKED OUT DURING THE PRAYER IN PROTEST. IN SIX SHORT WEEKS, CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WHERE REV WRIGHT IS PASTOR, LOGGED MORE THAN 5,000 PHONE CALLS, WITH ONLY 47 OF THE THOSE CALLS REPORTING NEGATIVELY. THE CHURCH HAS BEEN RECEIVING INTERNATIONAL REQUESTS FOR THIS PRAYER FROM INDIA, AFRICA AND KOREA.

COMMENTATOR PAUL HARVEY NOW DECEASED, AIRED THIS PRAYER ON HIS RADIO PROGRAM, “THE REST OF THE STORY” AND RECEIVED A LARGER RESPONSE TO THIS PROGRAM THAT AT ANY OTHER HE HAS AIRED….
