'CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?' Fort Wayne Journal Gazette 10/17/09

Hi Fort Wayne,

Let's move from the news absurd to the even more so. A southern California immigrants rights group objected to a costume that showed an orange jump suit and an 'ufo' appearing alien mask and the words "Illegal Alien" imprinted across the front selling at Target's website. That much of it, I personally, did not object to...but they showed this alien gripping a "green" card which are only issued to legal aliens such as my French wife who has been paying into the good old American social security system for the 44 years she has been here. Paid into medicare too, ever since its inception. Me too.

I am offended that someone would lump Obama's stealthy efforts to provide American health care to anyone and everyone who can sneak/strut across our borders, with legal emigrants who used the front door. All legal "aliens" are insulted by the largesse and disobedience of the rule of law exhibited by the current Obama administration. Get 'em Sheriff Joe.

Speaking of social security, ol' Ann McFeatters article entitled "Buying Off Seniors is short-sighted plan" goes on to suggest that the $250. per senior proffered up by Obama is an attempt to buy off a vote that simply costs too much, that seniors should take less of a priority particularly when the cost of living did not rise so therefore payments should not. Ann is apparently alright with this logic as it appears to be her own.

Now, here is my take. I joined the Marines in 1964 and stayed there for 9 years and that was my first job beginning 19 days after my 17th birthday. I recently, last December, retired from working in manufacturing from my 26th year through my 61st year. At age 62 I retired with 75% of my social security and not yet eligible for medicare into which I have been paying since its inception, 44 years ago.

Ann forgets that this is our money that is absent from the treasury, that every administration from its inception (the democrat mandated social security act) has raided it. Today it is penniless and democrats want to view it as a sort of welfare system.

Oh Sweetie, Ann, please dear, it will not be a welfare system until Obama includes all the illegals mentioned in the article above plus anyone else who hasn't worked for but yet expects benefits. What America cannot afford, Ann, is the largesse of your ilk... who gives when all we have is Special Drawing Rights, Ann?

Ann, you are right, some of us do not really need that extra $250. yet. On the other hand we have not felt the true weight of Obama's healthcare and cap and tax bills (you know the one under which "consumer eletric bills in America are necessarily going to skyrocket") so maybe we should clench our fists over the money that is ours anyway (let's see..an investor could draw an extra $250. per year if they invested that money themselves and didn't trust the U.S. government....us silly seniors, we trusted. And now Ann we trust the U.S. government to live up to her responsibilities).

I will use my $250. to fund my protest efforts. The scene is Washington DC on Sept 12th was marvelous. I have great uses for my money. "Can You Hear Us Now" Washington?

Then we have Garrison Keillor. First of all, someone needs who knows Garrison needs to tell him that his vitrol towards anyone against any of Obama's policies is belied by his homey picture wherein his head rests against his hand, supported by a 'not so rigid' wrist. Maybe that is fine for a Prarie Home Companion but in this arena, Garrison is going to have to man up.

Garrison article today is trying to mislead the public into thinking that opposition to Obama and his socialist agenda (21) is a GOP thing. Anyone who knows the protest movement even a little bit knows fully well that this is conservatism against liberalism/socialism wherein we object to anyone of any party getting in the way of our God-given, inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. We call it defending our republic and constitution, quite frankly, from Obama his administration and those complicit in this leftie agenda from abroad.

I believe us tea party people are offering up both Bayh and Lugar for replacement by moral and God-fearing people and when I say God, I mean my God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...the Jewish and Christian God.

I come against President Obama from my perspective as an American patriot having paid some small price for our right to fly the flag today, I come defending our republic still, against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Us former Marines are hard to shake off Mr. President. I believe the Marine Corps birthday, November 10th and November 11th Veterans Day this year would be two greats days for Americans to merge again in Washington, DC. Our numbers were great on September 12th and it was fun...I even helped an older guy and his wheel chair over a low retaining wall in front of the capitol just so we could fill in the spaces the guards tried to leave open. We were packed in like sardines.

We woke up our legislators in September but I still do not believe we have their full attention....For Patriots...See You IN DC on Veterans Day

From my perspective as a christian, the president's plans while seemingly well intended cannot be realistically fulfilled and Obama knows it but the games go on....inside of 10 years 94% of all of us will be driven into a public option and rationing will take place. Forced abortions, senior care rationing and laced drinking water systems with infertility drugs falls in the province of science czar, John Holdren.(Swine flu shot anyone?) For those who wish to concern themselves with the devil's henchmen, go to YouTube, there is a fine clip and story about the UN's Agenda 21 and the Club of Rome. I have read the entire book of Revelations and know the fate of any involved so I really do not worry about the 'who' of it. I can wait until we see the horns and tail.

Enough about that, christians know how this one ends and they also know that we will see some of it get nasty but some of you will see far worse than us christians after we leave you here alone with Obama and his ilk.

In that case, I will say to you, to Garrison Keillor and Ann McFeatters, Revelations 16:2 is poetic God given justice. Enjoy...of course your alternative, while you breathe, is John 3:16.

For Christians, this November in DC and Next Year in Jerusalem!
