Letter to Representative Ding Dong

Dear Representative Ding Dong,

 

I am disturbed and dismayed at the reckless and dangerous course administration and the congress has set this country on.  Currently the US Debt Obligation is 63.8 Trillion.  Yes, that’s TRILLION DOLLARS!!!  In case you are unaware a trillion dollars is substantially more than a million dollars.  Look it up. 

 

This recklessness directly negatively affects our national security, national sovereignty and of course our individual liberties.  Never before in the history of this country has the administration and the congress, you included, set such a destructive course.

 

My household portion of this debt is $546,668.  Unlike you I work for a living doing honest work and pay my own way.  I pay my obligations, but unfortunately you and your cohorts are dumping more debt on me in a reckless and wasteful manner and at an ever increasing pace. 

 

These facts underlie some basic questions.  What exactly do you represent???  Do you represent malfeasance??? Do you represent reckless fiscal policy??? Do you represent the destruction of personal liberty???  Do you represent your constituents???  Do you represent fascism or socialism???  Do you represent your party???  Do you represent yourself??? Are you drunk with power???  Are you careless or stupid???

 

We the people do not exist to provide the fruits of our labor to the government.  This is contrary to the basic tenants of liberty which our constitution reserves to the people.  The constitution, in case you have forgotten, is that thing that the congress has taken to use as toilet paper.  I would suggest that you read it before use.  But I digress, we are not servants, our labor and the fruit of our labor belongs to us, not to the government.  Anything less is forced servitude or slavery.  I was born free in a free country.  I want to die as a free person leaving a free country to my children.

 

Finally, I should remind you that your salary, your special congressional health insurance, special congressional pension plan and all of the perks you receive are paid for by us. 

 

You work for us; we do not work for you!!!

 

Respectfully,

The hot-air balloon

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
 
T he man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." 

 

Car Czar and Chrysler dealer terminations

May 28, 2009

Rosslyn Smith
We know that Caesar's wife is supposed to be above suspicion, but what about a Czar's wife, when it comes to terminating Chrysler's dealers?


From Instapundit:

UPDATE: A reader notes something about “car czar” Steven Rattner: “Rattner is married to Maureen White, the former National Finance Chair for the Democratic Party.” The comment: “So one of the guys advising SecTreas on this thing is married to someone who used to be one of the people in charge of fundraising for the Democratic Party. This explains so much it’s scary.”  Well, it bears a close look.

Empathy' in Action

By Thomas Sowell

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It is one of the signs of our times that so many in the media are focusing on the life story of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States.


You might think that this was some kind of popularity contest, instead of a weighty decision about someone whose impact on the fundamental law of the nation will extend for decades after Barack Obama has come and gone.


Much is being made of the fact that Sonia Sotomayor had to struggle to rise in the world. But stop and think.


If you were going to have open heart surgery, would you want to be operated on by a surgeon who was chosen because he had to struggle to get where he is or by the best surgeon you could find— even if he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had every advantage that money and social position could offer?


If it were you who was going to be lying on that operating table with his heart cut open, you wouldn't give a tinker's damn about somebody's struggle or somebody else's privileges.

The Supreme Court of the United States is in effect operating on the heart of our nation— the Constitution and the statutes and government policies that all of us must live under.

New York Taxpayers voting with their feet

May 18, 2009

Ethel C. Fenig

Proving former President Ronald Reagan's (R) adage that taxpayers vote with their feet, Tom Precious of the Buffalo News reports that billionaire  Buffalo Sabres' owner Thomas Golisano will save a reported $13,000 a day by moving from NY to Florida - punishing high income workers in New York state with a huge tax increase:

Gov. David A. Paterson (D) and lawmakers approved a state budget that will raise $4 billion in new income taxes this year on wealthier residents. In Golisano's case -and anyone else making more than $500,000 this year - he is seeing his state tax rate go from 6.85 percent to 8.97 percent.


But the departure of Golisano, perhaps along with others, puts that $4 billion bonus in question. Indeed, if the tax spurs enough higher income residents to flee the state--taking their companies, spending habits and other revenue generators with them--the tax can actually decrease state revenues.

Dead People Get Stimulus Checks

Updated: Thursday, 14 May 2009, 10:30 PM EDT
Published : Thursday, 14 May 2009, 5:28 PM EDT

MYFOXNY.COM - This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead. A Long Island woman was shocked when she checked the mail and received a letter from the U.S. Treasury -- but it wasn't for her.

Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago. He'd been a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the United Stated for a seven-month visit in 1969.
