The massive oil disaster in The Gulf Of Mexico is an environmental nightmare that will be in the forefront of our national conscious for decades. With our planet bleeding oil at a shockingly high-undetermined rate the actions taken by BP in the first 50+ days have been to recover the spewing oil, never to stop it. Having spent millions tapping into this projected vast oil reserve of 500 million to 1 billion barrels of oil BP is not concerned with losing 20 million gallons until the emergency drilling is completed in August. This behavior is not unexpected from multi-national corporations. Accidents happen and BP will be empathetically proactive even as the environmental damage rises to unprecedented levels. The mission remains the same oil recovery is paramount. Many have blamed our governments slow response to the disaster and especially President Obama’s reluctance to accept help from the best minds in the industry worldwide. Presidents are tested daily and are expected to respond to disasters with firm decisive vision that is communicated with clarity to everyone. The disaster in The Gulf Of Mexico is just another clear illustration of President Obama’s inexperience that lends itself to ongoing indecisive, reactionary and ill prepared responses to every test that has crossed his desk in the Oval Office. From the stimulus debacle to immigration to healthcare to Guantanamo Bay to dealing with the leaders on the world stage and now the oil mess Obama has shown that every instinct he possesses is counterproductive to the United States national, economic and environmental security interests.

Liberal deraignment syndrome has paralyzed basic common sense decision-making on all levels in this country for the past 30 years.
For those of us that have been around long enough to actually understand the constant nonsense spewing from our national and regional leaders let me clarify some issues that confront us so there is no confusion going forward.
Candidate Obama promised Hope n Change. Since the candidate turned President the U.S. economy has lost 4 million jobs in 11 months.
We don’t want to hear about jobs “saved” because yes, that is nonsense.
The Healthcare debate is not about healthcare it is about control and indebtedness. The Democratic Party wants to force National Healthcare on all Americans and non-Americans (Yes Illegal Immigrants) to expand and control a new constituency guarantying a new majority for decades going forward, period. If a politician tells you they are doing something for you, back away slowly. Common sense Americans understand that when we are at war the enemy is our enemy. When the enemy attacks us on U.S. soil and kills over 3 thousand innocent Americans and we catch those that had a hand in planning the attack and they admit it, even they understand the consequences. War criminals should be tried in Military Courts because they are war criminals not U.S. citizens. President Obama, Congressman Sestak and others do not understand this basic fundamental fact and support allowing the terrorists to be tried in the U.S. Court system giving captured war criminals the same rights under U.S. Law as you and me. This is political correctness at the height of its lunacy and only reinforces the liberal deraignment syndrome that has paralyzed basic common sense decision-making on all levels in this country for the past 30 years. If President Obama, Congressman Sestack and other elected representatives willfully support giving U.S. legal rights to war criminals then I believe they are not fit for office and should resign.

A Little Common Sense ...Please
The only real solution to the constant up & down cycles of the economy is to eliminate the core cause. That would be the progressive tax system now in place taxing the earning power of Americans.
It is counterproductive in a capitalistic market economy. If we switched over to a consumption tax system the earning power of Americans would immediately rise 30% or more, companies and Americans investing in the stock market would have all of their assets to confidently invest in the future with and the government would still be generating more than enough consumption tax revenue to provide services to the American people.
As we know there is enough blame to go around with the current economic mess but now is the perfect time to contact our state representatives and tell them that the American people are fed up with constant wasteful spending and that includes “forced taxpayer bailouts” through acts of Congress for their spit-swapping buddies on “Free Fall Wall Street”. All government agencies need to “justified for their existence”. If the agency does not perform a direct beneficial needed service to the American people then it needs to be abolished.
With the term abolished in mind all of those on capital hill that voted for and continue to vote for “forced taxpayer bailouts” need to be abolished also. The next election cycle is right around the corner, please remember their names. The cry that the sky would fall if we did not pass the bailout has fallen on deaf ears as Wall Street grabbed your billions and locked the doors….
When children get caught stealing from the cookie jar you do not
discipline them by handing them more cookies!
America needs candidates and representatives of any party that will always put the common sense needs of Americans first and foremost.
Americans are being forced to learn to live within their means and will do so and come out better for it. They expect their government to do the same.

The Kings Secret Plan
Mirror, mirror on the wall without a bail out will they fall?
Hurry, hurry screams the king we must not wait, we must not stall.
Bailouts, bailouts in the air, is it us they mean to scare?
No time to read, no time to ponder tax and spend to kill the monster
Shout it from the rooftops all across the land
Earmarks, earmarks for every woman and every man
A few wise men wonder how can this be?
If you keep feeding the monster will it not eat me?
The King had promised hope and change
The looking glass had called his name
Read from me and you will not falter
Stray from me and fall from the alter
Stay on script a catastrophe a day
The looking glass promised ye King would get his way
Beat down the masses they will fear the night
Soon they will lay down and give up the fight
The wise men knew of the Kings secret plan
Tax their wealth, their health, their souls, and their land
Take away their speech, their guns, their liberty, and their fun
Nanny state, nanny state we shall all be as one
Mirror, mirror on the wall will we stand or will we fall?
Hurry, hurry the wise men plead raise your pitchforks and Godspeed
The King is early in his term but the hour is late we must stand firm
Our Kingdoms fate so soon on the line
We must not fail for our children’s time
Hurry, hurry screams the king we must not wait, we must not stall.

Excusing Illegals Sends Wrong Message
I am weighing in on the Immigration problem that has come to the
forefront recently. One can understand families wanting a better life and taking a chance to cross the Mexican/United States border to achieve this goal.
Obviously we would not be in this position if the American Government properly secured its southern border and American employers on all
levels were not so eager to substitute cheap foreign illegal labor for
jobs with real wages, health benefits, and pensions. The slogan that
Americans won't do these jobs is a smoke screen for the American Governments unwillingness to control the southern border and employers that want to "cheat" the system and not compete on a level playing field.
Blame also lies at the feet of the Mexican Government as it has fallen short in its responsibility to secure its own borders and has been more than willing to let millions of its own people cross into the United States as this reduces the burden of providing employment and services for its own citizens.
When employers hire illegal labor they undermine the partnership
between the employee, the employer, and government programs in place to help all of us. When the employer pays the illegal laborer "Cash Wages" he cheats the system by not paying taxes that fund the programs that are in place to help all "Legal United States Citizens", many that have paid taxes all their working lives.
Individuals cannot sneak into The United States Of America and demand citizenship and all the benefits that come with that without going through the proper immigration procedures now in place. With a certain percentage of illegal labor collecting government programs with stolen Social Security numbers and not paying taxes on their wages they are "stealing" American funded benefits “they” have not contributed to and have
no right to.
How long can the system be "illegally drained" before Social Security
and other programs are seriously depleted.
If the President, Senate, and the House grant immunity on any level
they will be sending a message to the American public that they are not willing to uphold the immigration laws now on the books, they cannot secure our borders, they are appeasing special interests on all levels, and being an American born citizen and working within the system is no
longer relevant.
Americans are a proud, fair, and compassionate people but we have to take a stand on protecting our natural borders and understanding the consequences of not doing so.
There are and will always be Nations, Terrorist Groups, and Individuals whose main goal is to destabilize and bring down America. I would encourage the Senate and House of Representatives to pass a
strong Pro-American bill that will:
1.) Immediately suspend all benefits to illegal immigrants.
2.) Secure America’s borders on all fronts.
3.) Place severe monetary penalties on corporate, regional, and individual employers that knowingly hire illegal labor.
4.) Instruct the Government to cross check and identify Social Security fraud and suspend illegal benefits.
5.) Form a common sense immigration policy that will allow a manageable flow of worldwide immigrants into our country.
We cannot expect our government to deport millions of illegal immigrants. We can expect the government to confront the issue
head-on. Suspending illegal benefits will force both the illegal laborer and the employer to get on board and get both of them “Back on the Books” and contributing to the system for the benefit of all.
This will also streamline the process of providing all illegals with proper identification and Social Security numbers so they can be properly assimilated into the American fabric.
For all the reasons I or others will contribute to the discussion on this important issue the most important is:
By securing America’s borders on all fronts we reaffirm our deep appreciation and debt to all those service men and women that have served valiantly for the United States Of America.
