Why is it that we are letting our government to give this Terrorist permission to come onto our shores, our land, to come to the United Nations to speak? Does not make a bit of sense. Moreover, neither does this. So I was listening to the News stations on xm radio and watching the news channels when I get into the truck stops and finding out that there is a protest against Iran coming to speak and supposedly this is in recent years been a show of Unity between all our people. Now then, why is it that this year it is different? It seems that with all of this bickering and squabbling that both Dem’s and all involved forgot why this whole rally or protest or whatever it is was supposed to be. It is meant to show Unity. Unifying The American People Against the Ideals of Terrorism and The blatancy of having Someone for which the Country he Represents Hates America and Israel and has Every intention on making our Armed Forces one thing that he wants to destroy as well as the Ideals of Democracy in Iraq. He Sponsors terrorists in Iraq as well as wanting to make Iraq a Terrorist state. So why is it that the people of this protest that is supposed to happen in New York having a problem with Unity? Why are Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barak Obama and The Democrats having problems with having a Unified front against this Visit? God Bless you and God Bless these United States.

What is going on with our Major Media? Ever since the National Conventions, and the Obvious Kick in the teeth that Senator Obama got, and yes I am speaking of Senator John McCain’s pick, Governor Sarah Palin, Our Media in this country does not like the idea that there is the possibility that there is a woman in the co-pilot seat. Why? They were quite happy and down right enthused when the possibility of Senator Hillary Clinton being Obama’s Second in Command. Isn’t that the same thing that we are talking about? Moreover, why is this a problem for the Democratic people? Namely Our Major Media. First off there are some in reporting that just wont come to the Realization that she is a Sitting Governor. We all know she was a Mayor and I am not sorry to know that. That is where she started to get some of the experience. Moreover, I think she did a good job there, but where is all of the positive reporting from ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC about all of the positives on what Governor Palin has done. Heck, guys and gals, she cut her government as mayor and made things easier for Wasilla. Ok so why doesn’t the Major media have anything nice to say about that. The Attack squad of Senator Obama, a band of 30 lawyers has been combing Alaska searching for all of the dirt that they can muster up on her. And everything that they find and it doesn’t have to be fact, The Major Media, reports on it But doesn’t even check on whether what they are reporting on is fact or not. How fair is that. The American People are watching this, and Frankly the Republicans are loving it. Governor Sarah Palin is one of the Good Guys. Moreover, someone please tell me how a Governor gets Earmarks. I have heard and I know to a point how this works, but that is done in the Senate and the House, not in a State by a Governor. I love to see how Senator Obama and honestly he is tearing his hair out about this, how Obama is on the Attack and how he will not even say that or give her the acknowledgement that she is said Governor. Nevertheless, he does not want to even acknowledge that he is a Senator anymore. He has started some of his answers to questions he has been asked like “When I was a Senator I” and goes on with the answer. Why is that? Why is it that it seems that he thinks that he is the Anointed one. I am sorry Barry that does not cut the mustard. Ok, maybe he sometimes slips, but why hasn’t the Major Media noticed it. It is clear and it is obvious when he does this. Getting back to the Attack Squad, Obama sent the Attackers on Senator Clinton and no one wanted to say anything about that, but in Clinton’s case, at least he gave her the Respect of calling her Senator. In addition, Shame on these Media types for bringing up Family Matters and you all know what I am talking about in Governor Palins family. Never have I seen Major Media pounce on Candidates children as they did on a story on her children. I am sorry to see reporting like this. Let us get to the Chase. It seems that major media has decided on who we vote for People. We the People have got to stand up for ourselves. If we don’t, all we are going to listen to and believe is the redirects of crap that we hear and then are we going to investigate? I thought we were supposed to believe in our news sources to be UN biased. Excuse me? I do not think that Major Media, with its Democratic leanings are doing their job. Moreover, Reporting? Most are just going off on someone else’s addenda. That is my opinion. Have a great day ___________________________________________________________ Tell us what is on your mind, and I know as We the People there is a lot on your mind. I do check up on what you have to say and publish them, good bad or otherwise. However, I do want to know whether we are doing a good job. Without We the People, this Country is not going to go nowhere. So comment and comment often.

Good Morning from what I will call Semilife Central. Escanaba, Michigan. I am looking at this new and interesting view as the sun comes up and the birds are chirping away over Little Bays De nock and thinking to myself just what has happened on the Republican side of this political race. We have John S McCain. This Maverick as he has been saying he is, Being one of President Ronald Reagan’s crew, is looking at this country that we want so much to be the “City on the Top of the Hill”, as it once was, brings to us someone that is fresh and a fresh idea to all. On the other hand, We The People have Obama and Biden, and if you have not looked at any of the other articles on the Democrats, research it and you will find that both of them are the first and third most Liberal Candidates of the democratic side. Wow… Talk about going to the Extreme! Research this all and you might see where I am coming from, and yes this is my opinion, and yes, I am not going to be Politically Correct, so if your looking for that, well you have come to the Wrong place. I am a Red Blooded American. Through and Through, and understand that I want this Country Back to being That light that shines. So. McCain has brought Sara Palin. Someone that pretty much the Major Media has almost never said anything about down here in the lower 48 states that I have heard of. In addition, I ask myself, why? First this Woman, and I love this idea, is someone that Runs a Government. Has anyone looked at the size of the state of Alaska? I was listening this morning to Meet the Press, and I heard on there in an interview with the Governor of Minnesota, Tom Brokaw say that Alaska was Small? I think Tom needs to go to Alaska and find out just how small that state is. Heck, Obama does not even acknowledge that Mrs. Palin is even the Governor in one of his first Statements when she was revealed as John McCain’s choice for Vice Presidential Nominee. Why is that? Why it is that Obama does not want everyone to know that she Runs a Government? In a short Period of time, Sara Palin has taken on the Big Boys of the state. When Sara Palin was brought into the office of the Governor, this Gun toting, Hockey playing mother of five children took the Governors Jet, and put it on the Auction block on E-bay. How Cool. She looks at our 2nd Amendment and loves it. Sara Palin is a member of the N.R.A. Not only is she someone that I love to see as a spitfire in Government, but we need more people, more men and women like her as governors, as Senators and as Congresswomen in Government. Yeah, she does bring some baggage, but you know what? She is being investigated and it will come out in the wash that her sister’s husband, who was a State trooper, went through a Nasty Divorce and did some rotten things. Now no I do not know exactly what happened and frankly, I do not care. If he did what I have read he did, then he needed to be fired. So, Governor Palin asked the Commissioner to fire him and if he did not he should have on the spot. However, she did not like what the Commissioner said and I think fired him too. SO WHAT? She is a Maverick. Just like McCain. She is a mother of five kids, and she juggles them and a Government. More power to her. She believes in life first. Awesome. She has been a Governor for 2 years. If Barry Obama, and yes I am going to call him Barry until someone proves us wrong. If Barry thinks that Sara being a Governor does not give her the experience or qualify’s she to be Vis-President, then he needs to bow out because He Has No Experience to do Squat. Plain and simple. Senator McCain, if you go back and remember, His Campaign came back from the Depths of pretty much Disaster to being the Republican Presidential Nominee. This is Awesome. Why? Because he stands for Country first. Now, do not get me wrong. I do not believe in Everything that he stands for. However, what I do agree with is that he principals have been up front and honest. Am I going to write nothing but good about him? NOPE. I do not agree with this idea Amnesty, but for now, I say this. He has brought a Great Woman with Experience and a Spitfire into this political race. Something that is good. In addition, something that needs to be looked at and Applauded. Good job John.

He tells people that his father was a goat herder. NOT EXACTLY. He was actually a privileged, well-educated youth, who went to work with the Kenyan Government. His father was NOT a proud freedom fighter. He part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had. Mr. Obama also tells people that his family has strong ties to African Freedom-NOT EXACTLY-his cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It was the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and de-establish "Muslim Sharia Law." Obama's half brother Abongo Obama is Odinga's follower. Obama's cousin Odinga ran for President in Kenya and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When he lost the elections, his followers burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian Church where they had taken shelter. Obama Supported his cousin before the election process here started. Google "Obama and Odinga" and see what you get. "My Grandmother has always been a Christian". NOT EXACTLY. She he does her daily Salat prayers at 5 a.m. according to Her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity would not allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man. “I have never practiced Islam,” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You practiced it daily at school where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made YOU CHANGE, SO YOU COULD RUN FOR OFFICE. 4-3-08 Article Mr. Obama was quite religious in Islam. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageld=60559 “My school in Indonesia was Christian” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008 Kristoff from New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, recited them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, “it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks”, Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” “I was fluent in Indonesian,” Says Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Not one teacher says you could speak the language. “Because I lived in Indonesia I have more Foreign Experience,” Says Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were there from ages six thru 10, and you could not even speak the language. “I am stronger on Foreign Affairs,” Says Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), he has never been anywhere else on the planet and thus has NO experience with our closest allies. “I blame my early drug use on ethnic confusion” Claims Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were quite content in high school to be BARRY Obama. Your classmates said you were just fine. “I won't run on a National Ticket in 2008”. NOT EXACTLY. Yet, here you are despite saying live on TV, which you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first. I wrote a tough nuclear bill. NOT EXACTLY. Your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation rejected your bill. I have re-released my state records-NOT EXACTLY-as of March, 2008 state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within. My economics bill will help America-NOT EXACTLY-your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal, which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill. “I passed 26 of my own bills in one year”. NOT EXACTLY. They were not your bills. A fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office, handed them to you after their creation. “I passed 900 bills in the State Senate”. NOT EXACTLY. You passed 26, most of which you did not write yourself. “I want all votes to count” Said Mr. Obama time after time after time on the Primary Campaign trail. NOT EXACTLY. You said let the delegates decide. “I believe in fairness not tactics,” Said Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you. “I don't have any Lobbyists” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You have 47 and counting. “My Campaign had nothing to do with the 1984 Ad,” Said Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon. The list is endless on why we do not need this man running our Country. Let us make our votes count for U.S. Our rights and our freedoms. We The People need to let the candidates know what we want. We expect the to keep ALL of their campaign promises, and keep our Country free. Well, I do think that made me think just about what is going on with the Democratic side of things. That does not take into effect the past dealings with Reverend Wright and all of his teachings in the past 20 years. Nor does this take into account Mr. Obama’s Ideas of Taxing Every Business known to man so that he can give us Universal Healthcare, or This $1000.00 Energy Credit. Well, I think I will leave those subjects alone for now.

However, No Ladies and Gentlemen, It does not stop there. They are going to keep this information on hand for 15 years after you have crossed last. They say that then, they can create some sort of pattern base so that if you do something wrong, then they can go back and connect the dots. Hmm. This does not sound like a Free Country to me. Does it to you? Sounds like Big Brother is going to keep this for other reasons. Yes, My Fellow Americans, they want to keep this and let everyone in the world as far as “Law Enforcement” or any other agency that wants it, to be able to get their hands on it and say, if your Ex-wife, in your Divorce, has a problem with it, Her lawyer can go and get the information and somehow hold it against you, well it will be able to be, because our Government will hand It over to them. On the other hand, say you want to apply for a new job. Your new employer can go and check out when the last time you crossed into Canada or any other country for that matter and if they do not like where you went or why you went over there, they might just not hire you. Hmm. This does not sound like something that I like to hear. Am I making any sense yet? I thought We the People lived in America. The Land of the Free. The Home of the Brave. Does not sound like I am Free to Go where I Want to. Yes, you say, “You don’t have to go to Canada, or New Brunswick or Nova Scotia if you don’t like the idea of them knowing”, but here is what I am saying. If it starts here, what says that it stops here? Give them an Inch, but as usual, The Government takes a mile. As long as we let them. Now, Take the Trucking Industry. I do understand that Homeland Security needs to know why we are going across and when we plan to come home. I know that it is of National Security to know what Every Truck is bringing back. What I do not understand, is why they need to hold onto a database on Every Citizen, Every time they cross and When, For 15 years. It seems to me that the Bush Administration, Homeland Security and other agencies are getting to be more like a Gestapo or something. To be able to hold all of this information for the, “just in case”, does not make any sense. It is kind of putting us on some sort of “watch list” for no apparent reason. Furthermore, they do not have any, nor, do they want to tell us why. Oh, they have all of the reasons that make no sense to anyone why they are doing this. Nevertheless, no one in Homeland Security wants to give you a straight answer. Just the Run around answer. See, we have no idea who is going to use it, and for what reason they are going to. You also, Mr. and Mrs. American have no idea who gets the information and whether they are “Authorized or Not” to see it. Too much Availability for Data Creep… Supposedly, we are given notice that The Government and Homeland Security are going to be doing this Data sharing. I know that Every time I cross the border, no one has told me about this, and I can tell you that every other truck driver in the Industry hasn’t been informed about this. Have you? Moreover, if so, how do you feel about someone that you do not know, for any reason can go into this Database and check up on you? Has this made you think why yet? This comes from the article that I read on this subject that has gotten me so fired up on this: The notice states that the government may share border records with federal, state, local, tribal or foreign government agencies in cases where customs believes the information would assist enforcement of civil or criminal laws or regulations, or if the information is relevant to a hiring decision. They may be shared with a court or attorney in civil litigation, which could include divorce cases; with federal contractors or consultants "to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records"; with federal and foreign intelligence or counterterrorism agencies if there is a threat to national or international security or to assist in anti-terrorism efforts; or with the news media and the public "when there exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information." Homeland Security is proposing to exempt the database from some provisions of the 1974 Privacy Act, including the right of a citizen to know whether a law enforcement or intelligence agency has requested his or her records and the right to sue for access and correction in those disclosures.A traveler may, however, request access to records based on documents he or she presented at the border. Without thinking about this, I wonder what is coming next. I mean, I do want to be safe and I want my family and country safe, but honestly, I would like to know why I should feel that I need to give my government the right to take my right to privacy away. In addition, that my friend, without you saying it is all right, or ok to do this, is what we are doing. Giving them the Right to take our power away. If we say, ok, I understand without really understanding, and without getting the straight answers from our Congressmen and Senators, and Frankly from our President, then yes we are giving up our right to privacy and the right to go where and when we please. I mean, so far, for security reasons, they are putting up cameras all around us, and we say ok, they want to catch the Bad Guys. Hmm. Why couldn’t they do that by putting more Police on the Streets? Tell me how you feel about this? Leave a comment and we will share this with all of We The People. Have a Great Day and Stay Safe. God Bless America.
