I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." - Edward Everett Hale
Are we at the final crossroads?
Are we at the crossroads of our Country and our World? We are Americans, we have always been the basic design for freedom in the world. We are same people who have fought and died for freedom all over the world, and to think we are ready to give up our basic beliefs and freedoms. Giving them up to people who believe that the world should be controlled by one government. Is that to be our fate, are our children and grand children going to be raised other than American? We have people right here in this country that feel that way and some of them are high up in our own government. The theorists of the Global Economy and those who are advocates of open borders are just the first wave. We are being sold out from within and the snow job has been so great that no one is even actively fighting it. It all sounds so ridiculous that I even hate to put my name to it, but if you look at the events of the last few decades and put them in order what do you come up with?
1. We have allowed the United Nations to locate here in America, and in doing so gave them total diplomatic immunity to our laws. Giving them a place to spy and gather information on us.
2. We slowly allow much of our Gross National Product to be shipped offshore in the form of jobs and allow the products to come back with little on no duty involved.
3. We add NAFTA to the mix and offer them duty free access to our country through Mexico. We even offer to build them a highway to the middle of our country to haul their goods.
4. Our government turns its back on the fact that we have at least 20 million illegal immigrants living among us, using up our medical facilities and placing huge demands on our schools and our public works.
5. We are told we do not have enough natural resources to support ourselves, so we import billions of barrels of oil from the Middle East giving them in return Trillions of our dollars. We do this when it’s well known that we have large resources available for drilling right here in our own area of the world.
6. We are being sold a ‘Bill of Goods’ about Global Warming, and how we must believe without proof that it exists. We are told that we can buy Carbon Credits and it will help our earth somehow. The only thing green about this scam is the money that is being made off of it. It has added huge cost increases to every product we make here in America, and who pays for it? We do.
7. This is not something that either political party is responsible for, this is far bigger than the Republicans and the Democrats here in America. This is a global push for control and if you want to find the source, find the money trail. It’s a private club that only the richest can join.
8. The Europeans were told that going to the ‘Euro’ would help their economy. What it has done is help the economy of the poorer nations in the area and depleted the richer ones treasuries. Who benefits from this, only the club members who bought into these third world countries and have made billions in the process. The same people who have dreams of controlling the world and have the money to do so. I’ll bet they have a few Carbon Credits to sell too.
Now I don’t want to sound like a total Whacko, but I’m afraid for our way of life. I don’t think every day Americans ever believed that this could happen here. I think this global financial crisis is just another step in the plan. Out of panic we allow ourselves to lose more and more freedoms. Freedoms that are sacred to our way of life. The United States Government buying into business and financial institutions is unheard of, it’s Socilaism, and it’s the first step towards total government control. What privately held company can compete with the government? Have you priced ammunition lately? It is getting scarcer and higher priced daily. Gee, do you suppose they don’t want us to have any?
I believe the start of this was when we allowed foreign countries to buy America. I know, it’s been going on for a long time but did you know how much money we have allowed China to invest here in America? Do you know how much money we have given the Saudi’s to buy our country with? This is money that we have given them because we have not allowed ourselves to be self sufficient in oil. It may be too late for us to drill for oil, maybe we should just drill into their bank vaults. Who owns our big companies and banks anyway, do we even know? How much of Citi Bank does China own?
For years we supplied the world with food, we were always known as the ‘Bread Basket of the World.’ Now we can barely afford to run our family farms and make a living. The government decided we should turn our corn into gasoline and what happened? They destroyed the corn market and raised food prices everywhere. We now have the Global Warmists in the government taxing the cattle ranchers, because their cows give off methane gas. If that was a real problem the plains must have been terrible in the 1800’s with those millions of Buffalo just wandering around passing gas. I guess old Buffalo Bill Cody and the boys who shot them for their pelts did the world a favor.
If I sound disgusted it’s because I really am. We need to somehow get back to reality in this country. The idea of the political correctness police running our country is appalling to me. I still believe we have enough people who believe in America, to get our country back. We don’t need to be isolationists but we don’t need to be globalists either. What ever happened to good old COMMON SENSE?
It’s been fifty years since Fidel Castro led the revolution
that turned Cuba into a communist nation. America has barely tolerated our Caribbean
neighbor over the last half century. Ongoing
trade restrictions, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban missile crisis,
and an inflow of thousands of refugees into southern Florida all point to a
tumultuous relationship with the island nation.
Here’s a simple question whose time may have come: is it
time to normalize relations with Cuba? Their big brother, the Soviet Union,
fell almost two decades ago, we now trade with another communist nation, China,
without batting an eye, and Fidel Castro
himself is reported to be in failing health. With Barak Obama’s inauguration
less than a month away we have the opportunity to reverse fifty years of
animosity. Is now the right time?
URGENT, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOWUP. For the last two years I have been asking you all to get involved in the greatest injustice perpetrated on law enforcement. Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos have been locked up in Federal Prison long enough. The President has only a few days left to pardon these two Border Guards whose only crime was to shoot a drug smuggler in the rear end as he tried to escape capture. The man was carrying a large amount of drugs and was known to the Border Patrol as a mule for the cartels. I don’t know about you but I would rather have a drug smuggler with a bullet in his butt in prison than two guys who were defending my country. Federal Prosecutor, Johnny Sutton saw it differently and actually indemnified the smuggler so he could come here and testify. A few weeks later he was re arrested carrying more drugs to sell on our city streets. I guess he couldn’t get away so fast this time because he had a bullet in his butt. This travesty has gone on long enough. If anyone should be in prison it’s this prosecutor. Please take time right now to write to the White House and demand this pardon. This is a reprint of an article I posted several weeks ago and time is running out for these men.
REPRINT FROM NOVEMBER 12. 2008 One last time Mr. Bush, here’s your chance to redeem your self in the eyes of many. You have two Border Agents Compean and Ramos locked up in Federal Prison for doing what 90% of Americans wanted them to do. It’s in your power to commute their sentences and bring them back to their families. These men are hero’s to most Americans and are considered political prisoners by the Bush Administration. They should be released immediately and they should receive 100% of their back pay. Your Federal Prosecutor Johnny Sutton painted a picture of a poor itinerant Mexican just trying to make a living he met these two Border Agents who were on patrol in an area assigned to them to prevent smugglers and illegal aliens from entering the country. These two bullies shot this poor Mexican in cold blood in the rump as he tried to get away with his 700 pounds of dope. Come on Mr. Bush enough is enough. This Mexican who was shot was given immunity by Sutton to testify against these men and soon after was re arrested for smuggling even more dope into the country. If they had just aimed a little higher we would have less junk on our streets. These men have had to be placed in solitary confinement for their own protection as they are surrounded by Mexican drug smugglers in these prisons. It would be like you being placed in a prison with Al Qaeda prisoners who are sworn to kill you. What are you thinking Mr. President? What kind of deal with Mexico could you possibly have to keep these brave men incarcerated?
You have asked and received support from many of us for the war in Iraq. Actually we are embroiled in three wars Mr. President, Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on drugs which we are losing badly. We have documented cases of actual military incursions across our border where the Mexican Soldiers have guarded the escape of drug smugglers even firing their weapons in the process. All this and you let Sutton keep these two locked up in a living heii. I voted for you twice and I must say I am totally disappointed in your last term. Most of us were so proud of the way you took charge after 9/11 but you have failed badly in all areas of the domestic front. You have personally set back the Conservative Movement at least ten years. Please Mr. President I beseech you, release these men immediately and remove all stigma from their record. They and their families have suffered greatly at hands of your administration.
Ask the people of this Nation who they would call a hero, Scooter Libby whom you released immediately or Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who are still locked up in prison. I guess if you’re not a Washington insider it just doesn’t count.
America it’s our fight now, we have do everything in our power to get these men released. They were doing their job trying to protect us when they were caught up in some insider event that I believe had nothing to do with what actually happened. The politics involved in this goes much deeper than just the wounding of a known drug smuggler. Cops shoot it out and wound drug dealers all the time and nothing ever is said about it, why then is this injustice still going on?
i wonder if the paratransit ( or flex trans) service could be considered fair. door to door service for the handicapped at the expense of able-bodied people who must stand wherever in the weather. doesn't seem fair to make most pay to support this service. all busses have access ramps, why can't the handicapped wait, board, & pay the same like the rest of us. deoes having a handicap automatically qualify one for special consideration (above & beyond access)? if so, why? wouldn't a human with a handicap find this extra consideration at the expense of others maybe patranizing? or demeaning? the difference is equal oppurtunity vs. equal condition.
Hi, I spent the New Years at the westerner, i had the worst service ever including wrong drinks. I was charged for other peoples booze that they explain to me the cocktail waitress didnt know who was on my tab although my drinks came from me ordering them from the bar myself because i only saw the waitress once and she served me the wrong drink the first and only time i saw her! then brought to there attention they escorted me out the back entrance by six bouncers who then asked me what i was smoking? i responded that it was not there position to ask, they informed me i was on private property and would detain me until cops came, when i responded what does it smell like and i would counter there false arrest when the cops showed up with a law suit they would not rest until i blew into the face of MR small man syndrome bouncer, than took me to my truck and told me to leave in my truck or they would tow it if i left it on there property,so i sat in the passenger seat called for a tow but did not have time to wait do to my well being so i drove down the road and waited for a tow, i know i was safe to drive as im a professional driver but was not going to take a chance nor hurt someone else,I used my credit card and they claim i drank 67 dollars of booze in two hours, my question is if i drank that much and i saw plenty of others who could not stand straight on there ways to there cars, why dont they put breathing units in every car or truck, or if they knew i drank that much why escort me to my truck then force me off the property with no option i didnt feel safe with all those other people drinking and driving but they must feel im safe on 60+ in alcohol they must figure those twice as drunk as me is ok to drive as well. Im against hurting others and maybe the pd should do some research along with the DABC to put a stop to ther selfish no care for others safety attitude thanks and boycot the Westerner for there selfishness for others safety. And remember its .04 when a minor in the car or driving a commercial vehicle (CDL) and .08 normal. a breatherlizer unit could be installed in every car you buy without much additional cost but i'm sure the gov would loose money in the courts if they were to think logical. PS i was smoking tobacco i roll my own natural product wich im quiting for my son's sake and my health wish everyone who trying to quite goodluck it is harder than most think thx.
throwing money at something may work for a minute, without accountability, the ones who screwed up get away with it while everyone who invested looses. bail-out could only work if those responsable are removed (prosecuted?),& competent management installed
i just read an article on infowars.com entitled "educators seek shift in u.s. schooling to stress global values, see nationalism as obsolete". The authors propose that because of globalization, education programs must be reordered. The report states that teacher education programs in the U.S. must adopt a "global perspective" and that "…the time of splendid isolation is over… purposes of education have changed." i agree, but believe that if taken too far cultural identity could be threatened in the restructering of the current curriculium. globalization of educational systems should be done carefully. pride in nation, & culture should not be swept under by a new global social order. i recomend reading this article. very enlightning
Utah has neanderthal liquor laws to start with.We lose out on a lot of large function and conventions. And to top it off, a smoker can't smoke within 25 ft of the establishment is STUPID. In all other states I've been in, a smoking room is erected adjasent to the establishment with direct atmosphere ventilation. A lot of bartenders will be out of work on Jan 1st. Keep the Church out of the liquor business.
Reading this article,
I couldn't help but feel pity for the woman. After all, she is married to one
of the worst presidents (strictly based off of approval ratings) in U.S.
history. I can't imagine that is an easy task.
Her response reminds me
of something a captain on a sinking ship would say; "the boat isn't
sinking, it's just not seaworthy." Well, Mrs. Bush, neither is your
husband.
But, in a certain way, I
have to admire her for not jumping ship. Obviously, she either feels love or
obligation to this man, and as such, doesn't use her intimate knowledge to
destroy him. Though, he's pretty much done that to himself.
She mentions how she
prides her husband on fighting corruption. Really? I thought he only made it more
accepted, considering his appointments. Removing the Taliban, which is
essentially oppressive to women, only to appoint Dr.
David Hagar, the extreme right Christian physician, to the Reproductive Health
Drugs Advisory Committee of the Federal Drug Administration.
From the article:
On Bush’s presidency being a failure:
"I know it's not, and so I don't really feel like I need to
respond to people that view it that way," Mrs. Bush said in a television
interview that aired Sunday. "I think history will judge and we'll see
later."
"I think generations pretty soon are going to start to thank
this president for what he's done. This generation will," she said.”
History has already
begun judging him. With eight years in the White House under his belt, he doesn’t
have to wait to know he failed. While he may have attained many of the goals
set forth at the beginning of his presidency, the failures that happened while
in office are going to be the reason the public judges him a failure. On his
watch, we experienced the loss of the World Trade Center, which is a
questionable event at best. We engaged in combat in two separate nations on a false premise, went into a full scale recession,
the likes of not seen since his father’s presidency and the mortgage industry
fell apart.
In another article, Bush's ex-aides said the poor handling of Hurricane Katrina was really the tipping point for Bush. I'd like to agree with this, but I can't. The real tipping point was lying to the U.S. population about why we were invading Iraq.
The article mentions how Bush was much like Sarah Palin at first; very inexperienced in foreign affairs. Cheney and Powell were there to provide damage control. Powell maybe, but Cheney? Please, he needed his own damage control firm.
The point is, Bush never
had it and he never will. Now that he has alienated many of his fellow GOP
members, he is a political disease. It was very apparent in the 2008 election
season that an endorsement from Bush was pretty much a guaranteed loss.
It is said that when you
have a job performance review at work, you should never be surprised by the
results. Now that Mr. Bush is touting his legacy, or lack thereof, and his
administration is vehemently backing him up, I can’t help but think of this. He
should not be surprised that half of the voting public did not choose him in
2004, he should not be surprised that his approval ratings mirror those of Nixon just before he resigned, and he should not be surprised that an
overwhelming majority of people in this country are counting down the days
until he is gone.
Mr. Bush, you didn’t
just fail, you gave a new meaning to the word.
With the presidency of George W. Bush in its final month we
are seeing retrospectives of his administration in every news magazine and
newspaper in print. I’ve been looking for something that you might not have
seen in other articles about our 43rd President. It’s pretty
commonly known that George W. Bush has been the dubious recipient of the lowest
Presidential approval ratings ever recorded, but did you know that he also
enjoyed the highest in history as well? Between the terrorist attacks of 9/11
and the invasion of Afghanistan W. pulled down an impressive 92% approval rating!
The gold standard of Republican Presidents, Ronald Reagan, only ever got as
high as 68%. The younger Bush knocked his own father, who reached 89%, off the
top of the approval list. But like his father he was headed for a big fall. At
its lowest W’s approval rating fell to a dismal 19%. That’s a slide of 73 percentage
points! Coming in second for the biggest decline is Harry S. Truman, who fell
from a high of 87% to a low of 22%, for a total loss of 65 percentage points. Third
place goes to George H.W. Bush whose 89% would drop to 29%, for a 60 point
loss. It seems like losing a big lead runs in the Bush family.
Let’s put that 19% low into perspective now. How would some
of our more infamous Presidents compare in this area? The approval rating for a
President is something that came into being during the time of FDR, so we can’t
go back any farther than him. Since FDR it’s hard to find a President who
failed as completely as Richard M. Nixon. Even though he resigned in disgrace
over the Watergate scandal his approval rating reach a low point of 23%, 4
points higher than W. How about a President who was just considered to be incompetent
rather than plagued by scandal? Jimmy Carter saw his approval ratings dip to
28% at their lowest, 9 points higher than W. Since I’m sure somebody will ask,
Clinton’s approval rating bottomed out at 36%. So the last President to be impeached
enjoyed an approval rating a full 17 points higher than George W. Bush.
During the 2004 Presidential campaign John Kerry
accused George W. Bush of squandering the good will of the world. These numbers
suggest that he squandered some homemade good will as well.

I've had some trouble making up my mind over the Employee Free Choice Act. I'm not too happy with AFL-CIO. For one they had a vote on who they should endorse for President, and then they didn't release the result.
I got an email saying the response was too diverse so they weren't going to take a stand on the issue. Never the less, this video provides interesting insight into the issue.
I am writing this blog because I have some issues with the Government giving these Auto dealerships 7.4 billion dollars. I have already lost my house to pre-forclosure and that was just 3 months after my daughter was born. We are now In a small 1 bedroom apartment that is so old that we cant even drink the water we have to buy water and bring it in. It Is all we can afford. We are now on the verge of loosing our vehicle and no one is willing to help us out. I think the dealerships should go into bankruptsy just as the airlines did. I think if the Government is going to help anyone out it should be the people who desparetly need it. I also think the dealerships should sell their private jets to get themselves out of this mess. Does any one else fill the same way as I do, or is anyone else going through what I am.
Christmas like it used to be. As we enter into this most wonderful of seasons for Christians, I can’t help remembering so many Christmas’s past. The wonderful thing about living, is the fact that we can take so many great memories with us as we go through life. My family was never what you would call wealthy yet we had a spirit that made us feel rich. The Christmas season was like no other, we would go to town to see the fantastic displays in the store windows. People were always friendly and would stop and talk even to total strangers, as we walked from one store front to the other, enamored by the colorful and animated displays. Then we would climb into the old 37 Chevrolet and head out for home and a hot cup of cocoa. Christmas day was a busy one in our household. My parents always had an open house with traditional eggnog and cookies and banana or pumpkin bread. The eggnog was spiked with more than a little whiskey and was always a big hit with the neighbors. Dad was always in charge of the turkey and would get up early to put it on. It was normally about a 25 pound bird from a local farm. The open house would end about noon and mom would be busy getting things ready for all the Uncles and Aunts and all the Cousins to arrive. It would be dinner with all the trimmings, turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes and of course lots of cranberry sauce. My Aunt Ellen was always in charge of the pies and she was a master baker of pies, pumpkin, mince meat and as a special treat for us kids she would sometimes bring one of her famous rhubarb pies.
As I said, we weren’t wealthy but dad always made sure we had presents to open. Most of our gifts were homemade right down in his shop in the basement. We did have one rich Aunt who always remembered us kids at Christmas, Aunt Mabel was a beautiful blond just like a movie star, and always brought us something special. Christmas had some sad times too. I can remember when my oldest brother was away in the Pacific in WWII. Mom always made sure there was a place for him at the table, just in case he would come strolling in the door. We had several cousins who were also away at war during that period and prayers always were special at those times, hands seemed to squeeze a little harder as we said our grace. It seemed like things just got back to normal and Korea popped up, and my other brother was gone for two Christmas’s. We were the lucky family in our neighborhood though, every one of our cousins and my whole family came home safe. I guess our prayers were answered.
My dad was a nut about the Christmas tree, it had to be big and full. If there was a blank spot on the tree he would get the drill out make a hole in the trunk and piece in another branch. Our tree was always spectacular and no one could ever figure out how we always found one so perfect. (It’s our secret, dad would say.) Christmas went on like this for many years as I was growing up and when my wife Jan and I were married we couldn’t wait to host the big day. My family, mom dad and my brothers are all gone now but Jan and I still carry on the tradition of the special Christmas eggnog in the giant crystal punch bowl my dad used so many years ago. We still have friends in on Christmas morning and with each batch we toast to dad for making Christmas so special for all of us. The only difference is we take our tree out of the box, instead of the forest. Dad probably rolls over every year just thinking about that artificial tree.
I know this is probably boring to all of you but these memories are what makes Christmas special to me and my family and I just wanted to share that feeling with you. From my family to yours, a very Merry Christmas and skoal dad, here’s one for you.
This will be the last blog until after the New Year, so please be safe and have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
Following media reports that Congresswoman Hilda Solis (D-CA) will be tapped by President-Elect Obama as our nation’s next Secretary of Labor, American Rights at Work Executive Director Mary Beth Maxwell and Chair David Bonior released the following statements:
Mary Beth Maxwell: "What a great choice! Rep. Solis brings the expertise and leadership required to a department in desperate need of reform and will champion common sense policies like the Employee Free Choice Act to restore balance and create an economy that works for everyone.
David Bonior: “I’ve worked with her for years in Congress and she sits on our Board of Directors – she is a terrific leader who I know first hand will work tirelessly on behalf of America’s working families.”
A growing, bipartisan coalition of policymakers supports the Employee Free Choice Act, proposed legislation that would ensure that workers have a free choice and a fair chance to form a union. Simply put, the Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers to once again choose to form unions without the fear of being fired.
The legislation would give workers a fair and direct path to form unions through majority sign up, help employees secure a contract with their employer in a reasonable period of time, and toughen penalties against employers who violate their workers' rights.
Why is this bill so important? It's plain as day: workers are struggling in this country. Today's workplaces are tilted in favor of lavishly-paid CEOs, who get golden parachutes while middle-class families struggle to get by.
The Employee Free Choice Act can restore the balance, giving more workers a chance to form unions and get better health care, job security, and benefits – and an opportunity to pursue their dreams.
I have worked union for the last 4 years, my dad the last 22 my mom 16 years, grandfather 35 years. i think people need to know about this and the people who support this need to contact our congress and political leaders.
I am addressing all of our political leaders of the United States of America,
I urge you to enact the Employee Free Choice Act immediately. This crucial legislation will protect workers’ freedom to choose a union and bargain, without management intimidation. Allowing more workers to freely join unions and bargain with their employers will help rebuild the middle class by expanding health care, improving retirement security and raising the standard of living for America’s working families. My bargaining rights are worth working for and voting for!
Ann for your privacy I won't mention your last name, but there are a few things you need to know, and I believe your husband is enough of a womaniser to where you might not even get to read this if I sent it to your P. O. box.
I was a tenant at 3678 S. 500 E. for four years we came in at $575. per month on a one year lease. Then two years later I received a $50 rental increase to $625. With a promise of no more increases for two years. He keep his word. But then when my refrigerator broke and he had to replace it he told me my rent would be going up at least $225. per month. He informed me he went to a seminar to show him how to make a profit in the real estate business.
Now to the point....there were 10 units and everyone went to $850. per month, from $600 something. First I am on federal disability so quite a few of your state laws get overruled on my behalf. Out of five of the people I know the story of four, had small children, and two of those have small children and babies just barely making it as it is. My SSA disability which is not a gift I earned it with many years of service, only calls for a 5% cost of living increase and you have raised my living expenses 35% at one pop. Is your husband ill? Because you never know who you will get jekyll or Hyde.
Everyone hates him and he can't figure out why.
Ann I am telling you this because everything he does is in your name too.
I have sciatic palsy and wear a leg brace but I still got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the tile like it were new so I no he is lying when he says it wasn't clean. He kept $100 of my refundable deposit just to show he has the last word. We'll see Orin Hatch is looking into it now!
You also have the responsibility of 4 Farrel cats and a raccoon on the property (your responsibility) Which your husband have denied as a responsibility. I have a bill for you for $70 from the Humane Society in which I personally took on your responsibility.
Your husband handled your property investment very poorly and the hate will mount and the cost will get more expensive.
Your husband has my phone # if you need the facts.
I think you need to get the property checked for a drug lab or something from the past, I used to gag and throw up everyday, and now not since I've moved.
I would like the public opinion! aproximatly 11 months ago I was injured in a car accident wile on an arin for the company that I work for ABC supply. I was told by my manager that this was not a workers comp claim and that I should let the auto insurance take care of it but was assured by him that ABC would take care of me and my family. aproximitly 6 mounths later he was fired and I reprted the accident as a claim because me and my family could not make in's meat after I went through neck surgery and was out of work on the family medical leave act i then went through the painstaking process of proving this to ABC supply and was givin a claim of workers comp. My family and I was then kicked off company insurance, I have been replaced at work eventhough I have been released for light duty and am told when I call that they have nothing avalible for me. I have there workers comp insurance company faxing my doctor frodulant claims that I am in sales not a fisical worker so as to get me released so they can stop benifits to me. and every attorney I talk with says this is legal because Utah is a right to work state. Now I see all the adds on tv about workers comp froud and am well aware of its abuse from some but who protect people like me the wisel blower,and my family. I ask all who agree with me that I should not lose my job to call and complain and boicott the three state branches of ABC supply roofing materials in Ogden murry and orem (my home branch and call and complain.
