Car Talk

I went to the Cleveland Auto show and once again was disappointed by the American showing. Fewer and fewer models while the foreign cars are having bigger displays and more options of cars. Ford did have the best and seemed to offer the most of the domestic autos.

America now has one minivan, the Dodge. That's it. What is the small business suppose to do, a full size van is to large for a lot of companies. So we may be forced to buy a foreign vehicle.

Interesting tidbit. The Volkswagen van the Routan is actually the Dodge Caravan with WW badges and trim.

I was also saddened to see an iconic image of pop culture America, Superman, applied to a model of Kia. The special edition Kia was all laid out with decals and was drawing a large crowd of young people around it.

What is Cadillac thinking? Thay are clueless with their design. Cadillac now has a sportwagon? What a joke. They have totally ruined their image.

Buick is another company to me that has lost their way and doesn't have much to offer.

As I was sitting waiting for someone a gentleman came up and sat next to me. We struck up a conversation about the auto show. He said the best American cars were coming from Ford even though he hates to admit this because he works at the Chevy plant but his personal favorite is Toyota. Confusing to say the least.

I wrote this before I went to the auto show.

America gets the cutesy Ford Transport from its European division which was delayed a few years while they cleaned up the emissions to meet US air standards. But what did the Japanese send here? The HUGE Nissan NV.

America is shrinking the size of its cars and the amount of different vehicles while the foreign cars are growing larger and quickly filling the gaps left behind of niche vehicles America no longer produces. I first saw the NV in the Philippines and said if this ever comes to the US lookout. It will hasten the demise of the American auto manufacturer.

Onto other topics

I was watching CCTV the Chinese network and two Chinese analysts were going back and forth about China's economy. One analyst was saying China shouldn't worry America needs its cheap labor and will continue to buy from China. The other analyst kept insisting China should worry as America is re-industrializing. Finally the moderator stepped in and said we will have to leave it there.

Go Home

An Israeli was asked his thoughts about Obamas visit to Israel. He said If he thinks he is going to come here and dictate to us security and make peace with the Palestinians – STAY HOME.

Raise here and there and everywhere Check your land line bill if you still have one. Mine was raised $1.25 per month. My auto insurance jumped $75 for bare bones coverage and I have excellent credit and driving record. It may not seem like a lot but that is another 8 bucks per month gone and couple that with all the other nickle and dime increases it amounts to substantial increase in expenditures per month that you can't do without. I will some how argue and fight the insurance increase.

That's all,

dronDrones, one more look at Cruz, RINO Portman and more

Amazing.

Obama is considering arming the Syrian rebels while he wants to disarm us. How many countries have we armed that turned on us?

Korean War part II? American troops are on stand by as North Korea makes threats.

Confusion as in the time of Babel

In the story of the tower of Babel the people were unified in building a tower to the heavens. The people were placing themselves above God thinking they could do anything. God confused their language and the people gave up and scattered. Are we in that same frame of mind today with man thinking we can do anything? Look at the computer of what it can accomplish. Then look around you at all the confusion and friction amongst each other and within the different countries and nations of the world. In spite of all this increase in knowledge everyone is running around trying to figure out what to do while things get worse. No one is in agreement and many are just plain confused.

Drones

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, reserves, National Guard, veterans, Peace Officers, and Fire Fighters who will fulfill the Oath we swore, with the support of like minded citizens who take an Oath to stand with us, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our Oath is to the Constitution

This oath has little merit with the capabilities of the drone. Look out! Or should I say LOOK UP!

Governor Perry at CPAC take a bow, someone speaks the truth

"The popular media narrative is that this country has shifted away from conservative ideas, as evidence by the last two presidential elections. That’s what they think, that’s what they say, that might be true if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012."

AMEN Perry!!!

One more look at what Sen. Ted Cruz said:

"You want to know what happened last election cycle? We didn't win the argument for the American people. The Democrats' story is the Republicans are the party of the rich, the Democrats are the party of everybody else. And if that's the narrative people believe, we'll never win another national election."

Now read what I wrote on March 5^th 2012 almost a year before Cruz made that statement:

The thing that is troubling to me is this.... It took YEARS to change the image of the Republican Party from one of being strictly a rich white mans party. Little by little it was being chipped away and then Reagan became president. It was because of him the Conservative Right was born or at least had a major revival. If Mitt grabs the nomination he will undo all the changes that have been made to the GOP and once again it will be known as the party of rich white men and the Conservative Right well.... we will be homeless.

If you care to read the whole article I wrote just let me know and I can zip it out to you.

Portman true colors come out

Senator Rob Portman came out in favor of same sex marriage citing the reason for his change of position is his son is a homosexual. RINO Rob changes his moral convictions, his political beliefs because of his sons behavior? Houston we have a problem. It is one thing to stand by your son or daughter but it is another thing to condone or accept immoral and unnatural behavior. If Portman was any man of conviction he would stand by his conservative principles and tell the public this is a family matter, I don't condone my sons behavior and it will not affect my thinking. RINO ROB NEEDS TO BE VOTED OUT!!!!

             

             Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)

             Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)

             Supports Amendment to prevent same sex marriage. (Aug 2010)

    

And now his son is queer and he changes his position. 

I just can't help myself, I just have to include this... one more comparison between Mitt and the Oh-bama.

They looked at each other and they decided, 'We know that, in the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child, but something is stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across the bridge. And so they got together, and Barack Obama Jr. was born.

"So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama," Obama said.

What Obama was talking about here was because of the march across the bridge in Selma, Alabama his parents, a black father and white mother were allowed to get together and conceive a child. Only problem with that statement is Obama was born in '61 and the march happened in '65.

And then there was this march

"My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit." Mitt Romney in a 1978 interview.

The problem is this... Mitt nor his father marched with MLK.

Two reasons I brought this up. I was just made aware of the absurd statement by Obama and it goes along with another reason the GOP lost. Obama and Mitt were eerily similar. Voters had no choice between the two main party's. Lets put this to rest.

Carey Masci

They're still trying to figure it out.

MONTHS have passed since the 2012 election and people are still trying to explain why Republicans lost. In fact top Republican leaders are meeting to - DUH - figure out why they lost. Do they really need to figure this out?

What did U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz say about this while at the Cuyahoga Lincoln Day Dinner...

"You want to know what happened last election cycle? We didn't win the argument for the American people. The Democrats' story is the Republicans are the party of the rich, the Democrats are the party of everybody else. And if that's the narrative people believe, we'll never win another national election."

Is Cruz for real? If he is he won't get to far with that analysis. The GOP for years had the label the party of the rich. Reagan changed it by bringing on board Reagan Democrats and the Christian Conservative Right. What changed it back to the party of the rich? Romney. Republicans have been labeled the rich man's party once again because voters look at the nominee or president elect of where the party is headed whether this is right or wrong. If Cruz thinks we could of won the argument with Mitt as our nominee he just doesn't get it. Mitt was the stock market big government establishment picked nominee. While people are looking for work and trying to get by Romney's business past hi-lighted mergers, shut downs, buy outs, and speculation. To the average person he was partly to blame for hardships we are experiencing. Mitt never ran a store or ran a typical business - period.

Locally here in NE Ohio what is the thinking on why the Republicans lost? A couple of Tea Party's are in agreement with another reason why the GOP failed. They believe the reason the Republican's lost the presidential election was due to the fact that they are not attracting the conservative Hispanic and Afro-American voting bloc.

I believe Republicans do not need to attract Afro-Americans or Hispanics or minorities. Going after smaller groups such as minorities, unions, homosexuals to name just a few is the Democratic Party's philosophy. The Democrats need to woo these smaller groups because their message as a whole is anti-American and anti-Constitution. These individual groups that make up the Democratic voting bloc do not care as long as they get what they want.

The GOP's base on the other hand is much wider. Their base is the Christian/Conservative right which encompasses ALL nationalities, ALL races and ALL people of faith. If the Republicans would stay true to their platform it would also spread out to voters who are very conscience of the Constitution and people of wealth because of its limited government stance.

This may be an extreme example and maybe I am wrong for writing it but Lincoln did not go after the African or slave vote they followed him because he did what was right. With Reagan he had a strong message and even though he was a Conservative even Democrats came out to vote for him. The Republicans simply lost because they drifted from their platform and alienated their base.

Furthermore Republicans were beyond hypocritical in their pushing of Romney. The GOP blasted Obama for mandated healthcare, same sex marriage, fees, gun control but where did some of this start? In Massachusetts while Romney was governor. What made them abandon their principles in favor of Romney? They drooled all over themselves when they saw Mitt's wallet and his fund raising capabilities. What did Republicans do with all this money? They used it to convince you that Mitt was a Conservative and the only one who could beat Obama. They could of saved all that money and gathered around Ron Paul who already had ground troops or Santorum who had a strong message. Instead they gave us Obama.

In conclusion IF Republicans expect to win again they need to quit pushing RINOS and act like Republicans if not get out of the way and let a third party in. We do not need two Democratic Party’s, which is what's happening now.

My good friend Harry sent me this response a few weeks ago in answer to something I sent him.  His words are so appropriate for today with what is going on with Jackson Jr.. 

My dear friend, federal territory of Columbia was set on fire
by JULIUS CAESAR, Emperor of Rome, what you see is the very same
lavish "positive-bytes" spoken, to distract you from
looking at their misbehavior, financial lavish spending, for benefits,
while they fill their pockets WITH YOUR MONEY. Just like
in Rome, while Rome was burning.
They sack the burning homes.

Obama and the Transatlantic Agreement

Friends,
I only watched bits and pieces of the State of the Union Address.  Quite frankly I just can't stomach watching these staged and overly prepped events any longer.  So I turned it on and off and saw just enough to make me upset, angry and worried. 

I will only touch base on one thing in this email, Obama mentioning the Transatlantic Agreement.  This was first initiated way back in 1995 under the Clinton's reign. 

And I don't have to go to far with my research other than my sent folder of what I sent out back in 2008.
Lets hope we can derail this.  Think NAFTA times 10.

Nothing ever goes away, when a politician proposes something that is harmful or damaging to this nation it may lay dormant for awhile but it will reappear maybe repackaged or just enough of a twist to it for the people to be fooled into thinking this has been proposed before maybe it is a good thing.  Stay vigilant.

 Please do not discard this as bunk.  Since the early 90's I have seen the systematic destruction of America's sovereignty.  Recently it has been happening at such an accelerated rate whereas in a few years America might not be what we now know it.  Both parties currently running for president fail to address these grave issues other than Ron Paul.  Both parties reek with globalism.  We have sold our soul!

 Please click on the link and read about the Transatlantic Agreement.  If you don't have time then please at least look at the few paragraphs I grabbed from the article.  I highlighted certain lines in red because they are of vital importance. It will help you understand the fall of the dollar, it has to happen so we can join in the global UNION.

   Read this link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59713


Writing in the same issue of the Streit Council publication, Bennett also confirmed that what has become known as the "Merkel initiative" would allow the Transatlantic Economic Council to integrate and harmonize administrative rules and regulations between the U.S. and the EU"in a very quiet way," without introducing a new free trade agreement to Congress. 
 (Did you understand that?  Without Congress, our governments approval!!!)

The Streit Council is named after Clarence K. Streit, whose 1939 book "Union Now" called for the creation of a Transatlantic Union as a step toward world government
(is this the Biblical one world government we have been warned about?)
One example is Bennett's claim in his Streit Council article that creating a Transatlantic Common Market would combine markets that comprise 60 percent of world Gross Domestic Product under a common regulatory standard that would become "the de facto world standard, regardless of what any other parties say."
(in other words America has NO say)
  The Transatlantic Economic Council is an official international governmental body established by executive fiat in the U.S. and the EU without congressional approval or oversight. No new law or treaty was sought by the Bush administration to approve or implement the plan to create a Transatlantic Common Market.
(Once again, in other words World Leaders can do as they like regardless of what we in America think!)
The work to create a Transatlantic Common Market can be traced back to the Clinton administration's decision to join in the 1995 New Transatlantic Agenda with the European Commission.

A gun lesson for you.

A gun lesson for you.

***The Soviet army crossed the frontier to join us (Poles) in the struggle against the Germans....... We cannot wait for orders from the Polish High Command..... We must unite with the Soviet Forces. Commander Plaskow demands that we join his detachment immediately, after surrendering our arms. They will be returned to us later......I inform all officers within hearing of these facts and order all non-commissioned officers and soldiers to comply with the request of Commander Plaskow. Death to Germany! Long live Poland and the Soviet Union!


And so the Polish soldiers and officers complied and gave up their weapons. Immediately upon doing so instead of joining forces with the Soviets and being reissued their guns the Polish army was duped and made prisoners of the Russians without any resistance and suffered just as bad as those taken by the Nazi's.

This took place during WWII. Hitler made a surprise invasion from the west into Poland. The Soviet army was invading from the east but the Poles thought the Russians had come to join forces with them against Hitler. Russia took over eastern Poland according to this account without a single shot being fired.
Don't we ever learn from history?


Keep those guns, do not lay them down!!! Your life and nation are at risk.

*** Excerpt taken from the book “Story of a Secret State by Jan Karski. 1944”

a few chuckles and one quote

I heard that America is actually 88 TRILLION in debt, 88 TRILLION! Now it makes sense why they want to mint a trillion dollar coin. It will be used in vending machines.


Fiat and Chrysler may make the fabled Jeep in China. With the expected move a name change will also take place. Jeep will soon be called Cheep.

China wants to make their own Mt. Rushmore honoring 5 Americans. Nixon for being the first president to go behind the Red Curtain, Bush Sr. who was the ambassador to China under Nixon, Carter who signed the first trade agreement with China, Clinton for giving China most favored nation trading status and Walmart.


Its early but I nominate this as the quote of the year:

To me its not about the money, its about finishing what I tried to start when I first got elected in 1980. Cleveland Councilman Ken Johnson.

The story is this..... Ken Johnson briefly resigned as councilman so he could qualify for retirement then was quickly reappointed by his cronies. Is it any wonder why Cleveland and America as a whole is in trouble? Besides that read the words of Ken once more. What he tried to start in 1980! So Ken is still trying to finish what he tried to start 32 years later? You can't finish what you never started.

Maybe with all this double-dip going on they should open a ice cream parlor inside of city hall, they already have all the nuts they need to sprinkle on top.

Added note: Johnson makes $74,000 per year as councilman plus his retirement.

some sports humor for you

Not many heard about this but NY City had trouble with the ball drop so the Times Square Committee next year will hire the Cleveland Browns who've never had problems dropping the ball.


Browns fans should be a little worried about their new coach Chudzinski. Immediately after signing Chudzinski said he felt his days with Cleveland were numbered so he will accept early retirement.

They asked Chudzinski what position will he fill first? He replied a good shrink.

I did find one statistic the Browns led in. The Browns actually had a higher winning percentage then Congresses approval rating.

Many Clevelander's are joining a class action law suit against the NFL for wanting to go to an 18 game season. The reason sited is cruel and unusual punishment, 16 games is bad enough.

Here's a tough question for you. What's shorter a Browns win streak or Hillary's memory?

RG3 was struck with bad luck and was heard crying after his injury, this can't be, I play for the Redskins not the Browns.

Biden is very serious about gun control. He said he will go after anyone who uses a firearm even the 33 teams in the NFL who use the shotgun.

Sandy Hook, Kasich, and a Happy Deviant New Year

I took a short break around the holidays but do not think I pirated these subjects off the net because I am late in posting this. My close friends can attest to these as things I have either said to them in conversations or in short emails I sent out in early to mid December.


Guns or No Guns
Sometimes names can be prophetic. Such as in Sandy Hook. We had a hurricane blow through named Sandy before the school shooting and our government was looking for that hook to come after our Constitutional right of bearing arms.

Both sides, Dems and Repubs are so off with their assessment what to do about these mass shootings. Everyone is talking about the symptoms but no one is addressing the cause. This is usually what happens with any issue or problem, the band-aid approach is used, cover it up and hope it heals.

The Left believe in getting rid of guns. What will this solve? Nothing other than leaving law abiding citizens more vulnerable and America as a whole in a weakened state to defend itself from outside invaders if there is an attack.

The Right want to arm teachers, janitors, everyone and have armed guards at entrances. I have been to a third world country do we want to become like them with every mall and building having checkpoints with armed guards?

I am all for individual freedom of whom ever wants to carry a gun let them do so. But to arm teachers? I don't think so. Some people do not want to carry a gun or are not responsible enough to handle a situation like what happened in Sandy Hook.

The real culprit for this breakdown in our society are rulings that occurred in the early 70's. Until we protect life, reclassify certain behavior as mental illness and revamp our judicial system and prisons this will continue. And if I may let me throw one more in there, drugs. Drug laws should be stiffened 10 times more then what they are now. These are the causes they need to be addressed not the symptoms.

2016
My crystal ball right now is cloudy for whom I see running in 2016 but the GOP could be left wandering for years as they had their chance and squandered it by putting all their money and hopes on Mitt.

I just can't see the GOP pushing another Bush (Jeb) on us and if they learned anything they won't woo Chris Christy either who is another east coast liberal. Santorum won't make another run, would be very surprised if he did.

But I believe one man to keep an eye on is Governor Kasich of Ohio. If Kasich makes a move he would garner a lot of support. He is establishment enough but also he could get Tea Party and Christian Right support because of the remarkable job he is doing as governor.

On the Democratic side is Hillary. I told someone before Hillary's recent bout of who knows what that the only thing that could stop her is father time, is she up to it physically? She is a Clinton so she could be faking. Four years is enough time for her to rebound and for the public to forget her mystery illness. People are still enamored with the Clinton's thinking Slick was responsible for the prosperous '90's. Yeah right!

If Hillary's illness is legit and she has to retire for good well then the GOP got a late Christmas present as they will have an excellent chance in 2016.

Kasich's Folly
Even though I said to keep and eye on Gov. John Kasich his decision to grant clemency to murderer Ronald Post can have a damaging effect to his campaign if he does decide to run. There are already some rumblings going on that they would not support Kasich because of this. Remember Kasich would represent the Republican Party and most true Republicans support the death penalty for heinous crimes such as murder and even violent rape. It was a bad move on the Governors part.

Third Party Candidates may see an increase in interest and garner more support. Organizations like "Free & Equal" who hosted two excellent debates are helping spread the word of the legitimacy of these candidates. Could 2016 be the year where finally a third party candidate breaks through the hold the two parties have on America?

Former Republican Governor turned Libertarian Gary Johnson did an excellent job at the "Free & Equal" debate. I supported Johnson last fall because I believe he had the best chance of over turning Obama Care and restoring this nation fiscally. Johnson was the best protest vote out there but he has a long way to go to win my support completely as he is to soft on or against issues that matter most to me. Drugs, abortion and the furthering of the gay agenda, which it is an agenda. Will he make another run? My hunches say – yes. So Johnson supporters get ready.

Up Up and Away

Whats in your wallet? Well just hand it over for your favorite fast food burger. Minimum wages in many states saw an increase with Washington state being the highest at $9.19 per hour, yes $9.19 per hour. And then you wonder why employment for young people is way down. What small business or any business for that matter can afford to pay entry level positions that much? The only winner is our government. The higher the wages go, the more income tax they bring in. 

New Year 2013
What the heck did I witness?
Was my family thee only one who was appalled at the degenerate display put on by 3, 5 and 8 on New Years eve? We switched back and forth trying to find something half way decent. I won't even mention names and give these people recognition. Channel 8 had women parading around in lingerie. Channel 3 had some group singing Imagine what I call the communist manifesto song and I believe also they had hosting a drunken playboy model. Chanel 5 had a transvestite showing off. Then they had a woman singer and behind her a huge golden back drop with the UN symbol. If all that's not bad enough the huge ball on Times Square had on top of it TOSHIBA. It was more like the eve of destruction not new years.

I am currently reading a book called "Story of a Secret State" written in 1944. One way Hitler destabilized and brought down morale in Poland was through the promotion of pornography and other deviant behavior. The communist in America are having a field day, aren't they? Same tactics.


Happy New Year!
Carey Masci

carey's humor from the last month

With the closing of Hostess over 18,000 jobs will be lost and that's not counting the huge number of dentists and heart doctors that will be affected.


Obama said we bailed out the car industry and we should do the same for Hostess. Starting in January every GM car sold will come with a Twinkie in the glove-box.

There's a good chance that Hostess will continue to be made by a Chinese company. As if the snacks weren't unhealthy enough already.

Too bad Hostess didn't hang on a little bit longer though because help is on its way, with all the states making marijuana legal there's going to be a whole lot more people with the munchies.

The first gay mosque will open soon. Instead of praying towards the east they will pray facing San Francisco.

Mitt Romney was seen pumping his own gas. One day the Secret Service the next self service.

They asked Mitt what was he going to do now. He said first we are going to strap the dog to the car's roof and take a family vacation.

The good - Mitt went back to work in the private sector. The bad – Factory workers all across America were worried they could be bought out and shut down.

When Obama was asked what about falling off the fiscal cliff, he said simple we will buy a Chinese made net to catch us.

Closing the Book

Before closing the book on Romney lets take one last look at how he grabbed the GOP nomination and take a peak at Charles Crist of Florida who is making the news again and hopefully the book will be closed on him also.

Let's jump into it.

While governor, Mitt Romney was appointed chairman of the Republican Governors Association because of his excellent fund raising abilities. As chairman he pushed more money to Iowa, Michigan, and Florida's governors races then other states that needed it.

Back when Mitt allocated these funds they couldn't figure out why were those 3 states getting more money for their governor races because they were already a shoe in to win.

The reason why came to light during Mitt's second presidential run. McCain got in Mitt's way in his first bid but in his second run and all the pieces came together. So why did those three states get the most money?

Iowa is the first primary and Florida and Michigan were instrumental in getting the nomination.

Lets break this down further:
In Iowa, if you remember, it was reported Mitt Romney won the primary where in reality, as we all suspected, Santorum did. Santorum's victory was announced two weeks later. By falsely proclaiming Mitt won this knocked the momentum away from Santorum going into New Hampshire and made Mitt look like the front runner.

Next was the hanky-panky of pushing Florida's primary up from March 6th to January 31st. Florida was leaning heavily towards Mitt. By letting Florida go early in the primary a Mitt victory would help in ensuring him a big early lead.

Then there was Michigan. Another state that was vital in winning the nomination. This should of raised red flags immediately. If Mitt needed an upper hand in gaining a primary victory in his own home state how could he ever beat Obama?

Lastly I brought this up before and it was said locally on air. Mitt Romney was told in 2008 if he backed out of the race and let McCain take it next election was his.

So it comes down to this; if you follow the money trail and the promise made to Mitt it all makes sense how he won the nomination. It didn't matter if Mitt was the most liberal of all the candidates, all the pieces were already in play for him represent the Republican Party. Unfortunately though the GOP put all their eggs in one basket not caring who they stepped on thinking they could win with Mitt. It was a mistake as the party is now in disarray.

Lets hope this is the end of the Mitt Romney chapter of the Republican Party.

One more intersting tidbit about Florida and Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney in 2006 gave 1 million dollars to the Florida Republican Party to get Charles Crist elected governor which Crist did win. But in the long run how did that money spent work out? Republican governor Crist stabbed the GOP in the back. How? Crist jumped ship and not only stumped for Obama but will also seek reelection as Florida's governor but this time running as a... Democrat.

And there you have it.  Now lets close the book, hopefully for good.

Carey's Christmas Commentary

Hey Gang,
Season's Greetings and an early Merry Christmas to you.

Christmas for the longest time has been about selling but the difference with years ago they would hide the products or wrap the products around Christmas. Now it doesn't really matter. It's sales and buy buy buy. Black Friday now Black Thursday right on top of Thanksgiving. No shame in doing this either. Soon there has to be a backlash where people say enough and the whole Christmas season will come crashing down. If you remove Christ and love the season is empty, buying can only fulfill so much and the way the economy is, do we really need to buy gifts for no reason?.

This year friends and I drove down to Akron to check out the Christmas lighting ceremony. I boycotted Cleveland's because the last few times I went I heard the term Winter Fest, which was a joke because it wasn't winter yet, but we never saw or heard anything in the way of Christmas. Holiday, Seasons Greetings all of that but no Christmas. Even the communist party was there handing out flyer's.

So I went to Akron, how was it? Terrible. It was living on its past days. Remember Oneal's Department store? Well you can see their window displays.... Remember this store.... that store..... And the lighting ceremony was terrible. One large tree and it wasn't called a Christmas ceremony but a Holidayfest.

Why America has let the communist win by removing the word Christmas is beyond me. One year all Christians should not buy one gift and then see how the world prays for us to come back to their stores. After all we are not a holiday-ian nation but a Christian nation or are we?

Why the Republicans lost

 Some are still questioning why and how did Romney lose? I understand their frustration because how could anyone lose to Obama one of the most if not thee most divisive and controversial of all the presidents who is taking away our rights daily. Sure some are correct when they point out that the Republicans need to woo African American and Latino's. They are also correct saying we need to attract younger voters. But lack of support from these groups is only part of the reason why the Republicans lost the presidential race. The real reasons are never talked about. All of what I have heard so far is on the surface with no one touching the real in depth reasons why Romney lost.


 It seems to me the GOP is more worried about how to sell a bad product rather than improving the product. When you listen to the analysis its all about how to sell or improve the ads to get more people to vote for THEIR candidate. After all how many MILLIONS were spent on advertising? A lot of us have had enough of the mind games and want true leadership not prepackaged Madison Avenue creations, let the process work and let the people choose. If the establishment would bow out a leader would arise, one that has the people and America's best interest at heart.

Here is my list why the Republicans lost.

1. Coke or Pepsi
The biggest reason why the Republicans lost was the lack of contrast between Romney and Obama. Its pretty similar to Coke or Pepsi. One may be sweeter but both are still colas. And so it was with the two main candidates. The Republicans did not pick a candidate that differentiated enough. There may of been subtle differences but in the end it was a color option, do you want the white or black Obama. This is why Mitt never hit back hard enough against Obama, how could he, he was to similar. Many voters sat or voted third party for this reason.

2. Alienating fellow Republicans.
What was the GOP thinking for blackballing Ron Paul supporters? If there was ever a case where all hands on deck were needed this was it. You can not play games with 178 delegates and the people they represented then expect everyone to fall in line and vote for your candidate. The Republicans cut their own throat.

3. Lies.
People are tired of lies. A large percentage of voters are far to educated to be lied to. Putting Mitts face on the Christian voters guide was way over the top. It would have been better to tell the truth that Mitt is not a Christian and far more liberal on most issues than what Conservatives expect but he is better than Obama. If Mitt was portrayed in this light just maybe more Christians would of jumped on board. Forcing a prepackaged lie on people you will always get resistance.

4. Not staying true to its base.
The Republican have one true base, the Christian Conservatives, that's it. This group was largely ignored this election. Also most Republicans are independent thinking, self reliant, strong willed individuals who would rather rely on guns and the bible then vote for a liberal or a RINO that even hints at taking over their rights. The Democrats are different. They have many smaller targeted groups and somehow they all manage to fit in one tent, they are unified. The Dems know how to be faithful to their constituents. Dems promise something for everyone. Gays rights, unions, environmentalists they are all taken care of.

5. Piling on
How much more bad news about Obama does one need? Daily it was piling on to the point even when Obama was right he was wrong, this turned off a lot of voters. Others questioned if Obama is as bad as they say why would the Republicans come up with someone such as Mitt?

6. Buying
Mitt tried to buy the election and Obama bought votes. Romney had excelled at fund raising and tried to use it and his previous position as head of the Republicans Governors Association to buy the election. That's why so many governors backed him. Obama on the other hand bought individual votes by promising more government help. Obama was even credited with the Obama phone which Conservatives hated but lower income loved. The truth is Obama had nothing to do with the phone program but who ever started the rumor that gave him credit for it was brilliant. Vote buying won out over election buying.

7. Fear
A term I coined is “Fear Voters” which at one time I was one also. Both Obama and Mitts campaign were based almost exclusively on FEAR and negative rhetoric. A few of the things Conservatives were worried about were Obama's take over of everything and the collapse of our monetary system. For the Democrats some of their worries were no more government help, return to past days where woman were second class citizens, rich people would kill the middle class. A huge fear that gripped people on both sides was the loss of jobs and not finding work. Mitts record of mergers and buy outs and being a multimillionaire who couldn’t relate to the working class only fed this type of fear. In the end the fear voters in the Democratic party out numbered the ones in the Republican party. I myself like many others had enough of fear voting so voted third party anxiously awaiting 2016 for a true Republican to run.


In another article I will write about the damage this election has done to the GOP. It has divided the party and it could be facing real challenges to regain itself.

Corruption American Style

Corruption American Style
When I went to the Philippines I was greeted in more than one place like this... OH you an American, America much wealth here so much corruption. And I thought to myself in more than one place - If they only knew that I live next to Cuyahoga County one of the most corrupt counties in America.

Word on the Street
I spoke with a man today, whom will remain anonymous, and he said that the crap will hit the fan and soon in Richmond Hts. 1.3 million dollars has not been accounted for and the person in charge of the department where it went missing has stepped down or if I heard correctly resigned and retired early. This happened in a city that is broke and keeps asking for levies, like so many other cities in the Cleveland area.

This same man then went on to say....
I asked a councilman why they don't televise their council meetings. He said we don't like competition, we like to keep things quiet.

If that wasn't enough to make you angry he added this....
Over the holiday weekend I went to a resort, Oglebay, WV and what did I spot in the parking lot? Well 2 Cuyahoga County Service vehicles so I contacted County Exec Ed Fitzgerald to report it. Still haven't heard back from him.

Corruption American Style, gotta love it. And yet what do the people do... feed the fire by passing more and more levies and tax increases.

You want to starve the criminals, quit feeding them.

Just a theory but am I onto something?

While pundits and the Republican Party scratch their heads still trying to cope and understand the lose to Obama another event was going on that has far more serious implications, even more so than what is currently happening in Israel. It is something we need to keep an eye on.


This event is one more step in the globalization of the world and paving the way for the one world ruler. The gathering took place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is the ASEAN Summit, Association of Southeast Asian Nations. ASEAN has plans to turn this Asian region into one zone.

We already have the EU. World leaders are pushing hard to connect Canada all the way down South America as a free trade zone. The Asians want theirs and the gulf countries are planning their own union. Whats so serious about this? Besides each country no longer being sovereign to do as they please and whats best for their nation it is far easier for a one world ruler to step in and govern 5 or 6 unions or zones than a multitude of countries.

But even beyond that something else bothers me. Before I tell you lets look at a few bible verses.

Ezekiel 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

These verses foretell that in the last days a great battle will take place where MANY nations come against Israel. How does this epic battle tie in with world leaders compacting countries into zones or unions? When the world completes this realignment process all countries will have zones or unions to fit into. All except one. That country will be Israel.

My thinking when this does happen look out because what will the world do with Israel? She will be a problem, looked as a hindrance to world peace and unity. It will be decided – enough! Lets wipe Israel of the face of the earth and be done with this thorn in our side.

The battle will commence, God will intervene and the end will be at hand.

Just my theory but am I onto something?

post election thoughts

Friends,

If you are a believer its not the end of the world and if you aren't a believer get around someone who is. Maybe some of you may not understand this but if God is not ready to redeem his people just yet then we are in a good position. Allow me to explain.

Obama's victory was not a mandate by any stretch. If anything it was a mandate against him. HUH? With Mitt as the GOP nominee MANY Christian/Conservatives stayed home. If they would of gone out and voted Mitt would of won. By them not voting it sends a signal we do not want mandated healthcare whether from Obama or Romney. We do not want same sex marriage. We expect more from the Republican Party. Those who voted for Mitt it was strictly out of fear of Obama not for the love of Romney. So if you add up the fear voters coupled with the non-voting Christian Conservatives I can guarantee they would be more than the sum of Obama votes.

Now IF God is ready to redeem his people an Obama victory could signal a rapid descent for America. It has to happen if God is to return. America cannot stay strong. It has to be weakened for the globalist movement and one world leader to arrive. So either way its all by design.

Maybe that's a bit to spiritual for some of you. Just ponder it.


Get ready to be blamed. Christian/Conservatives will be blamed and hated for failing to support the Republican nominee Mitt Romney. No matter how you tell people you voted your moral conscience it doesn't matter. All that mattered was defeating Obama. It's going to get very hard real soon trying to do the right thing and stick up for ones beliefs.

Will the Republican Party learn from this? I don't think so. I believe this was all planned? It all comes down to money and lobbyists. And who was the big winner? the health insurance industry. Whether it was Obama or Romney Care we were going to have mandated healthcare with either one of them. That's why both candidates were so much the same, the health insurance business had two horses in the race.

I know I made many enemies this election. I was told that at the Lake GOP Victory Party by a lady. Maybe I was a bit harsh or to much in your face trying to get people to stand up for whats right and steering the Republican Party back to the right. Be mad at me all you want but I held my ground and never waivered in my beliefs. So its up to you to accept me back to work together or continue to divide.

The Republican Party is DONE if they hand us another Dole, McCain or Romney again. The base of the GOP is the Conservative Right and we are getting tired. Keep alienating us as they have and they lose. And if they try to blame us for their election loses we will leave in even bigger numbers. The Republican Party will then lose elections by MILLIONS. They need us to stay competitive and win.

6 BILLION DOLLARS were spent on races throughout America. WOW. Why do people give? If people would do their own research instead of listening to ads some of this would stop. But the fact sadly remains ads work whether selling cola or politicians.  Another thing that needs to be done is limiting money.  Money should ONLY come from voters not pacs, never from outside of our country or the area a candidate or issue is from, and never from corporations. A voter has the right to support a candidate but since the others can't vote why are they allowed to give?

Finally at 2 pm election day I caught a brief interview on one of the cable news shows. I don't recall the reporter but she asked Ron Paul if he was ready to join ranks and endorse and support Romney. Paul said NO, both candidates are the same, the only winner is the status quo, nothing will change who ever wins.

my article the paper didn't post

During the height of the Vietnam conflict there were many antiwar slogans. One was What if there was a war and nobody came? Well I like to ask What if there was an election and nobody came?


That's exactly how I feel concerning this election. The two top contenders currently running for president are so eerily similar in so many ways why vote? Neither candidate is good for this country and neither one is a true leader. This is very evident by listening to their ads. Ad spending is approaching over a billion dollars but both do nothing but mud sling. A true leader leads and doesn't have to worry about the opposition.

This election really comes down to voting against someone not voting for someone. I myself can't play this game so I researched and found there are other much more qualified candidates running for president that the media doesn't cover. I encourage everyone to do their own research as I have and vote for one of these others.

In protest we should all erect signs in our yards that simply read NO. What does NO mean? Neither One. That's been my slogan since the nomination process ended, NO - Neither One. Because neither one deserves our vote.

You couldn't blame Bush so don't blame Obama.

The anti-Obama fervor is so strong that many jump all over what ever he says without reflecting if it's true or not.  For instance when Obama said America is no longer a Christian nation, Christian Republicans were appalled and up in arms. But was Obama wrong?  Not really. Why? This may be the first time that we have 3 candidates who are not Christians. Obama is of Muslim heritage, Mitt is a Mormon and Gary Johnson whom I support but even he is a non believer.  In fact I have more respect for Obama stating America is no longer a Christian nation than Republicans blasting him. Republicans are suppose to be the home of the Christian Conservative Right. I think its hypocritical for them to get mad at Obama while out campaigning for Romney.  So was Obama wrong?

You couldn't blame Bush so don't blame Obama.  Republicans were so upset every time a Democrat or Obama blamed Bush for the economy. It was the start of many jokes blaming Bush for everything.  But now Repubs are no better than the Dems and possibly worse because now they are playing the blame game they hated so much.  Take jobs for example. Whether you want to admit it or not Obama has little to do with a lot of the job mess were are in. Lets face the facts. JC Penney said they may go to self check out counters and get rid of most cashiers. Newsweek is preparing to downsize it's staff because they will discontinue their magazine and go strictly online.

I don't care who is president this is the modern age and MANY MANY jobs will not be coming back because of reasons like above.

You want jobs to return? Next time instead of buying something online go to the store and spend a few dollars more to save a job. Check for made in America labels. You do these few things as a starter jobs will slowly return.

How bad can Obama really be? IF Obama is as bad as everyone say's he is and as the Republicans claim, the establishment GOP would of said sorry Mitt we do not want your money, you are to divisive, our country is at stake. The establishment should of then rallied around someone like Santorum or Paul or any of the other GOP candidates who said right out they would repeal Obama Care. Instead they rally around Romney who started not only the health care mess but also the same sex marriage battle. So blame the establishment for bowing to Mitts money and dividing this country further and for Obama even being in this race when it should of been decided months ago.

Just keep repeating something long enough and everyone adopts it. The argument from most everyone now who is voting for Romney a liberal Mormon is: I am not voting for Mitt Romney as my religious leader. So are these people saying a candidates religious beliefs don't matter? Lets think about this. Mitt if elected will be a leader and he will lead according to his beliefs. How a person acts, thinks, legislates, dresses etc... all comes from ones beliefs. So ANY leader you vote for, you automatically get his beliefs as well as his religious beliefs. How then can one say I am not voting for Mitt to be my religious leader?  You may not look to a president for spiritaul guidance but he will lead as he is convicted.  So religion does matter. 

A vote for Gary Johnson (or anyone else) is a vote for Obama. Do the Democrats say a vote for Jill Stein (or anyone else) is a vote for Mitt? Lets set the record straight. A vote for someone you believe in is a vote for someone you believe in. Can we please stop this nonsense? Vote your moral conscience and don't worry what others say.

endorsement for president

Friends,

I am a precinct committee member for the Republican Party. This is one of the worse elections I have been through. Before I tell you who I endorse let me tell you who I will not endorse and never vote for.

President Obama will not get my vote or endorsement. If I need to explain why you must of just landed from another planet.

And because I am a Republican precinct committeeman elected to uphold the party platform AND for the dignity of the party I cannot endorse Mitt Romney and encourage everyone not to vote for him. Everything the Republican Party, Tea Party and Christian Conservative Right have been fighting against Mitt is for. Mitt Romney's own words and record have given me the freedom to search for an alternative candidate. I am tired of rhetoric. Tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. Tired of being force fed pre-picked candidates. A vote for Mitt would be hypocritical and anyone who does so owes an apology to Democrats, that’s how much Obama and Mitt are alike.

Runner up goes to former Senator and Representative of Virginia Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party. If I vote my moral conscience it would be for Virgil. He is an honorable alternative to the Big Two.

My endorsement goes to...
former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson over Goode because I believe he has the best chance of splitting up the hold the two parties have on America. Johnson has a ground game and and is the best protest vote if you want to be heard. I will be surprised if he doesn't take at least 18% of the vote.


By the numbers and numbers that matter:

Unlike Mitt, Johnson is a REAL job creator. Turned his one person handy man business into a 1,000 employee building company.

Mitt was a one term governor, Johnson a two term governor.

Johnson cut spending in a Democratic state.

Johnson vetoed 750 bills with only two over ridden.

Johnson wants a 43% reduction in federal spending.

Johnson wants to trim the federal budget by 1.4 trillion.

Johnson is for abolishing the IRS.

And the most important what all of the Tea Party's were fighting for, Johnson will repeal Obama Care and that also means NO Romney Care.

Gary Johnson has also mentioned Ron Paul would be his VP pick.

On social issues Gary Johnson is sadly the same as Mitt and Obama BUT I am hoping the Libertarian philosophy comes through that if the people say no to abortion or same sex marriage he will not over ride the will of the people. After all, I repeat, he is the same as the other two but far superior on issues concerning the budget, economy and no Obama or Romney Care.

I encourage you to get involved and spread the word.

Gary Johnson for President

When will you say you had enough? When its to late???



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pVqZzHm3Z4

On the eve of the third debate of 2012 here is my review of the first two

Presidential Debate: I am one of the few who thought Obama won. He seemed a little annoyed like why am I here debating this guy? If you would say he lost I feel its because Obama took it to lightly. Mitt’s mannerisms were a little to hyped, to rehearsed, not natural compared to Obama who kept his cool and looked forceful and presidential.

  If I wasn’t informed and basing it strictly on a visual performance I say Obama won. BUT since I am quite knowledgeable I just don’t trust either one so no matter what they say I can’t believe it. I wouldn't want either one of them behind me during a bar room fight, neither one would have my back and would probably say anything to save themselves. The only reason I watched this debate was because a friend insisted we watch it to see how many times Mitt said something stupid.  

The VP Debate I like Paul Ryan that’s why I watched this debate and have more of a review. In fact someone asked what my thoughts were of Mitt choosing him. I said I like Paul Ryan so much so that if you could guarantee that Mitt would die in office I would vote for him just so Ryan could take over. Unfortunately Ryan got thumped by Biden in the debate.  

Here are the things that stood out to me, in no particular order here they are:

 The car accident story. What was Ryan thinking about when he brought up the story of a car accident? They have so much prep and rehearsal before a debate that this was just pure boneheadedness. It was supposed to be a warm and fuzzy feel good story of Mitt helping a car accident victim instead it made me feel so sorry for Biden who lost his wife and daughter in a car wreck. The heartlessness of this made my distaste of Romney grow even more.

 47% of people on public dole. That does sound horrible doesn’t it? But Biden explained it quite well and forcefully that not all of the 47% are people who are on government help are leaches.

 Syria. I was always one to support the military and in favor of going after rogue countries that disrupt peace BUT lately because of many reasons I have been rethinking my old thinking. The way Biden spoke about Syria made me ask these questions: How many more countries can we get involved in? Do we start another war? Where will the money and manpower to fight this new front come from? We can’t let these nations continue to hold the world’s peace hostage but do we really want to start another war?

  Embassy attacks and the death of Americans. I am sickened when I think of the inaction of this president. Ryan drove home the point.  

Abortion Ahhh We slide to the left. Pro-life Ryan adopts children umm no I meant to write adopts Mitt’s policy of abortion only in cases of rape, incest and the health and life of the mother. It uncovered Mitt once and for all he is pro-choice. PERIOD!  

In closing. Biden showed up, Ryan was too nice, Biden debated. I like that. Biden debated and hard. He interrupted and he was vocal. These events are nothing more than staged Hollywood productions so it was about time someone tried to at least give a semblance of a real debate and this may be the closest we will ever witness.
