Irreconcilable Differences: Is It Time For A Divorce?

I received this email today. I certainly agree with the sentiment that Conservative American and Socialist American ideologies are, and always will be, incompatible! Some of the minor terms of the agreement may need to be amended somewhat, but the major ones I'm pretty much in agreement on. Yeah, I'm pretty much ready for a divorce...

DIVORCE AGREEMENT


THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".

We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll let you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, &Jane Fonda with you.

P. S. S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

S.510: Say Goodbye To Your Backyard Veggie Garden

It was bad enough when the authorities fined a couple of kids running a lemonade stand. In fact that was downright stupid. But if S 510 passes, you won't even be able to feed your family, lawfully, from your own garden! And that's pure maliciousness by our government. Be very leery of this intrusion into our lives, and the cost it will have on our sovereignty. Bill S.510 was introduced in March of 2009 by Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois. It was co-sponsored by Lamar Alexander [R-TN], Jeff Bingaman [D-NM], Richard Burr [R-NC], Roland Burris [D-IL], Robert Casey [D-PA], Saxby Chambliss [R-GA], Christopher Dodd [D-CT], Michael Enzi [R-WY], Kirsten Gillibrand [D-NY], Judd Gregg [R-NH], Thomas Harkin [D-IA], Orrin Hatch [R-UT], John Isakson [R-GA], Edward Kaufman [D-DE], Edward Kennedy [D-MA], Amy Klobuchar [D-MN], Robert Menéndez [D-NJ], Ben Nelson [D-NE], Tom Udall [D-NM], David Vitter [R-LA].

You will notice that of these 20 Senators, Roland Burris, Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, and Judd Greg are no longer with us. And Bingaman, Casey, Gillibrand, Menendez, Nelson, and Hatch are up for re-election this year.

 
Call your Rep and Senator and DEMAND they don't support this legislation.

You can see the actual legislation here.

And here's an article that describes what the bill would mean for you and me, if it were to pass. This administration just won't reign in their maniacal inclination for power grabs. They may have been somewhat chastened two weeks ago, but they are too arrogant, to willful, and too disdainful to heed any lessons the people might be trying to teach. Watch what your Congressmen are doing these next two years, the danger to our liberty has not subsided.

(NaturalNews) Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called "the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America." It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer's markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don't comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government.


"It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God." - Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower (http://shivchopra.com/?page_id=2)

This tyrannical law puts all food production (yes, even food produced in your own garden) under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. Yep -- the very same people running the TSA and its naked body scanner / passenger groping programs.

Our Next Targets

Pass this list to the people you know - especially those not quite as active in the blogging/political world as we may be. Here are the 32 Senators who are up for re-election in 2012. We must work hard these next two years to ensure that all the Democrats, both Independents, and several Republicans are cut loose in 2012. But for the next two years, let's hold their feet to the fire! After what happened in Florida this year, my Senator, Bill Nelson, must be sitting on pins and needles! He has been very unresponsive to my expectations over the past two years, despite repeated coaching from me! Maybe the election woke him up, we'll see. Somehow I doubt it. But given what I saw this year, I'm not sure why a majority would vote to retain him in 2012. I surely hope not, he is not a friend of the Constitution or conservatives. Is your Senator here?

Daniel Akaka, Democratic Senator from Hawaii
Jeff Bingaman, Democratic Senator from New Mexico
Sherrod Brown, Democratic Senator from Ohio
Maria Cantwell, Democratic Senator from Washington
Benjamin Cardin, Democratic Senator from Maryland
Thomas Carper, Democratic Senator from Delaware
Robert Casey, Jr., Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania
Kent Conrad, Democratic Senator from North Dakota
Dianne Feinstein, Democratic Senator from California
Kirsten Gillibrand, Democratic Senator from New York
Amy Klobuchar, Democratic Senator from Minnesota
Herb Kohl, Democratic Senator from Wisconsin
Joe Mancin, Democrat, Senator from West Virginia
Claire McCaskill, Democratic Senator from Missouri
Robert Menendez, Democratic Senator from New Jersey
Ben Nelson, Democratic Senator from Nebraska
Bill Nelson, Democratic Senator from Florida
Debbie Stabenow, Democratic Senator from Michigan
Jon Tester, Democratic Senator from Montana
Jim Webb, Democratic Senator from Virginia
Sheldon Whitehouse, Democratic Senator from Rhode Island
Joseph Lieberman, Independent Senator from Connecticut
Bernard Sanders, Independent Senator from Vermont

Here are the Republicans that I think we should be sending home in 2012 without question:

Bob Corker, Republican Senator from Tennessee
John Ensign, Republican Senator from Nevada
Richard Lugar, Republican Senator from Indiana
Olympia Snowe, Republican Senator from Maine

Here are Republican Senators who require watching, can we find better candidates for them?

John Barrasso, Republican Senator from Wyoming
Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican Senator from Texas
Jon Kyl, Republican Senator from Arizona

And these Senators I think we should keep (though they require some scrutiny as well).

Scott Brown, Republican Senator from Massachusetts
Orrin Hatch, Republican Senator from Utah
Roger Wicker, Republican Senator from Mississippi

Is Another Express Coming In 2012

 

This is a picture by Terry E. Caldwell that I found on Facebook.

There are 32 Senators up for re-election in 2012. Twenty one of them are Democrats, 2 are "independents", and nine are Republicans, some of whom are RINO's. We have an opportunity over the next two years to pressure each and everyone of them to side with the conservative Republicans currently in office as well as those we just elected and are sending to Washington on repealing Obamacare, cutting spending initially to 2000 levels, squashing Cap and Trade, squashing the Dream Act, getting serious about securing our borders and enforcing existing immigration laws, and beginning the process of returning to sound Constitutional law in America. We may never have a better opportunity than this.

So, for all of you who have a Senator up for re-election in 2012, of which I am one (Bill Nelson, Dem, of Florida; think he got the message?), if you haven't already, start an active dialogue with that Senator and know exactly where he stands and how he votes on these issues. But just as importantly, remember how he has voted in the past, for he will have a propensity to return to that ideology if he is given an additional 8 year term in 2012. Stay vigilant!

Who Thinks Shari'a Law Is The Answer?

Obviously a judge in Oklahoma sees no problem with it. And while 70% of Oklahomans voted to prevent Shari'a Law from being used to decide cases in that state, 30% voted for it! Take a look at this, and then you decide! Is this something you would want for your wife? Your daughter? Your girlfriend? A friend? Yourself? Some of the images here are quite graphic, so be prepared. Maybe now you'll realize that maybe there's a practical reason why Islamic women are required to wear face coverings. And why they are hardly ever, if ever, seen without full-length burkas. God be merciful on these women, they've seen Hell, lived Hell, are still living in Hell! Take a solid, unmovable, unwavering stand against Shari'a Law in America. Not one single facet should be accepted, no matter how benign it is portrayed by Islamists or our government. Their is no place for Shari'a Law in our society, in our culture. Period!


Quran 8:59: "The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy."

And we put officials from these countries on UN Commissions for Human Rights? Are you kidding me? Why are so many afraid to stand against this? Are you? Or will you stand and vocally and actively oppose this? Who is so devoid of empathy that they can not, will not, speak out against this evil?

God also have mercy on any of us who do not denounce this unspeakable insanity. For while the women and children in these countries have done their time in Hell, any of us who do not stand against this may be sentencing our grandchildren to their time in Hell. And with that eventuality, God will see to it that we'll find ourselves in Hell as well!

Here A Tax, There A Tax, Everywhere A Tax, Tax...

Old obama had a thought, e-i-e-i-o. And in that thought another tax, e-i-e-i-o. A tax, tax here, a tax, tax there...

This article is from the Orlando Political Press. Since when does the Constitution provide for our government to tax us for the benefit of other countries, some of which may have governments that are not allies to America. And how does this all play into our national sovereignty, vs a One-World-Government, a New World Order? Our ability to re-establish ourselves as a strong government, fiscally responsible, and able to export the notion of freedom throughout the world through our examples at home, will be further compromised and diminished should this tax be allowed! This seems like something obama can get on board with, it's right up his "redistribution of wealth" alley, so get on the horn and tell him "NO!"

Rich Nations Urged To Weigh ‘Robin Hood’ Tax To Help Poor
November 11, 2010 Federal, Political News 1 Comment

Editor’s Note – Are you kidding me?
With unemployment still close to 10% in our own country and all signs indicating the worse is yet to come, there’s a push to tax Americans to help “poor countries”? Make no mistake about it, this is a continuation of the Progressive Left’s push for social and economic justice through wealth redistribution.

Don’t have specific numbers, however, if you were to add up all the aid poor countries currently get, why is it that I feel confident that America will be at the top of that list?


Rich Nations Urged To Weigh ‘Robin Hood’ Tax To Help Poor
FoxNews.com

As President Obama huddles with world leaders for the G-20 summit in South Korea to weigh proposals aimed at stabilizing the global economy, one idea being pushed is a so-called “Robin Hood tax,” aimed at collecting money from rich nations to give to the poor.

The Robin Hood tax — a global financial transaction fee that could raise hundreds of billions of dollars to pay the cost of the global financial crisis and support developing nations struggling to recover — is not popular.

While Britain, France and Germany have championed a bank tax for all G-20 nations, finance chiefs from the industrialized nations shot down the idea at a previous summit held in Toronto last summer.

Still, the tax’s supporters, which include unions, environmental groups, Comic Relief, UNICEF and others is a multinational coalition, say the tax could go to canceling debt from poor nations. Or it could be used for social programs to fight hunger, diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria or other causes, programs to which the United States and other nations already donate billions.

The crusaders — a coalition of 183 organizations from 42 countries — issued a plea this week urging leaders at the G-20 summit in South Korea to adopt the measure. While specifics have not been outlined, the idea would be to charge a small transaction fee, anywhere from 0.05 percent to 1 percent, on each stock transaction made.

In a letter to G-20 leaders, including Obama, the coalition wrote that the tax would help meet the costs “of the global financial and economic crisis, including reducing the unacceptably high rate of job loss, and achieve key development, health, education and climate change objectives in developing countries.”

So, Now We Decide...

 

Alright, I just got finished watching Glenn Beck lay out his 3-day case against George Soros. I'm sure those of you who read the posts on this blog are aware of who Soros is, and what he has done. But for those of you reading this because it's posted to FB, or because it's been forwarded to you, who don't know who and what he is - here's a the briefest of explanations.

George Soros is one of the richest, most powerful, most influential people on the face of the earth. He is responsible for crashing economies in four countries - including Russia and England. He has made it clear that America is his next target.

When you research him, you might come to the realization that he is a sociopath. Rich, yes, but a sociopath none-the-less. And he considers his interference in the economies of countries a distraction, a game. Listening to his words I was reminded of a game I used to play decades ago. It was a game I used to play on my Intelivision console. It was called Utopia. Well, George Soros is playing Utopia with real countries, real people, real lives.

Now we have a decision to make. Do we believe the case layed out by Glenn Beck and go out and research the things he says to find out how true they really are, or do we believe, ignorantly, without doing any research, that it's impossible for something like that to happen in America. That it could never happen here! This is America for crying out loud.

But what happens to you, if you choose not to do research,  IF George Soros does have us in his sights? Are you prepared to face that challenge? Have you stocked up on food? Have you shed your debt as much as possible? Will you be able to survive food, energy, gas, clothing prices 10-25% higher that they are today if inflation kicks in? What about if hyper-inflation hits? Are you prepared for that?

George Soros has crashed four currencies already. He gloats about his last - England. He claims the United States is the only thing that stands in his way in accomplishing his vision of a New World Order. That may encompass an "Open Society", he owns the Open Society Institute. It might mean a world without borders, with one currency, one bank, one government. One ruler...

So, don't take too long. You need to decide!

Are You Ready To Take Off Your Skirt!

First posted last November, given the recent news that there are at least 35 Islamic compounds currently operational in America; given the recent OK court decision to restrain a law preventing international or sharia law from being used to decide cases in Oklahoma; and given recent videos of Islamic clerics forthrightly stating that there is jihad being waged on America  and at some point an Islamic flag will fly over the White House, I thought it pertinent to repost. But this time I have a couple of questions as well. We have fought long and hard in this country for equal rights, so why would we allow the adoption of law hundreds of years (perhaps thousands of years) less enlightened than ours? At the risk of sounding condescending and/or arrogant, generally speaking, are American women so politcally apathetic (or ignorant) that they would even chance this happening? And why aren't American men speaking out? Is political correctness really our barometer for what is right and what is wrong? Gents, take off your skirts and grow a set; it's time! Stand up for what is right!

NOVERMBER 2009 - I never thought I'd say something like this, or think something like this. But you have to admit that we are in strange times, and thinking outside the box may be the only thing that gives us insight into our future. And after reading the article below, and after considering ALL the events in the world over the past 9 years involving Muslims, I believe fervently that Muslims are not our friends. Nor will they ever be. If that offends someone, so be it. I contend that those who are offended are either naive or mentally incompetent. The facts speak for themselves.


President Obama claims he is not a Muslim. But he grew up and was educated in Indonesia. Here is some info that may shed light on his personal leanings towards the Muslim religion. Like sitting in the pews of Jeremiah Wright for 20 years influenced him, so too growing up in Indonesia had to have influenced his perception of Muslims and Shariah Law.

Islam In Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Islam is Indonesia's dominant religion and approximately 88%, or over 200 million, of its population identify as Muslims, making it the world's largest Muslim population.

Remember, he has nominated people who advocate international law. How does that fit in with what you read in the story below?

After reading this article, I fear for all Christians and Jews, for my family and all my friends. With the election of Obama as President, we do not have anyone in Washington that will stop Obama from allowing Muslims to take control of this country. Everything he is doing is pointing to his desire to destroy the American Way of Life and open the doors for Islam. He is weakening our Economy, our Healthcare System and our Industries. - Vicki Young

Look up Nonie Darwish in Google.com for more information about her.

In light of the recent killings at Ft Hood, the NY Trade Centers and many other atrocities, a better understanding of the Muslim religion is needed in America.

Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by 9.

The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce. To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. A husband can beat his wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion. The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Ripping the West in Two.

Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza. When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA.. Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others...

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! As more and more Muslims enter this country, America is being drawn closer and closer into a Religious War between Christians, Jews and Radical Islam who will insist that America become an Islamist Nation. If Obama is still President when this Religious War begins, he will support Islam. There is no question that Americans need to take action now, before they are outnumbered by Radical Islam who will win the War for Allah and subject everyone in America to Sharia Law.

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion.. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America ..

So I say again, be careful; Many, many thousands (perhaps millions) of Muslims are not our friends!

The Big Fight: RINO's vs. Tea Party Accountability

Keep track of who's doing what. Watch the new guys, as well as those already established in Washington!We were able to take care of a few of these guys during Round 1, but this is a scheduled 10-Rounder. So unless we get a knockout punch, prepare to get rid of a bunch more during round two in 2012. RINO's, Progressives, and liberals are no longer our friends (if they never were). Conservatism needs to remain high on everyone's priority list in this battle ...

Is The Republican Honeymoon Already Over?

by John Nothdurft, November 9, 2010

Barely a week after the Republicans saw a tidal wave of victories in the midterm elections, members of the GOP establishment are already fighting back against the very policies that helped bring this new group of conservatives into office.

Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina who is pushing for a moratorium on earmarks told The Hill that, “Americans want Congress to shut down the earmark favor factory, and next week I believe House and Senate Republicans will unite to stop pork barrel spending,” DeMint said in a statement. “Instead of spending time chasing money for pet projects, lawmakers will be able to focus on balancing the budget, reforming the tax code and repealing the costly health care takeover.”

Can I get an Amen?

Unfortunately, The Politico reported today that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been working behind closed doors to convince the new crop of “tea party” conservatives that they need to keep an open mind when it comes to “earmarks.”

The Politico stories explains that “McConnell’s heightened activity signals what Senate insiders say is real fear among senior members — that the DeMint plan actually stands a serious chance of passing. And that could have uncomfortable implications for a bloc of GOP senators — like McConnell, a member of the Appropriations Committee — who annually send hundreds of millions of dollars for projects in their home states.”

So let me get this straight the GOP establishment is scared that they might actually succeed in putting an end to earmarks and somehow this is a bad thing? Well pardon me, but I thought the whole reason that people were supposed to Republican was because this was the party that would actually get rid of pork barrel spending.

While we all knew at some point that the “business as usual” Republican establishment would eventually try to move the party back towards many of the same habits that got them in the minority in the first place, I was hoping that my libertarian fantasy would have lasted at least until the new Congress took over.

But alas the honeymoon is over…

The Whole Is Much Greater Than The Sum Of It's Parts

If you are a oldies music fan, you will remember the Beatles. Certainly they demonstrate this concept, as even as talented they were as individuals they did not garner the respect or attention that they did as a group. If you're a baseball fan - how about those '67 Red Sox - from last to first and a pennant! A Dream Team! They had some great individualise on that team, but none greater than the team! If you're into racing, by all accounts an "individual" sport, you still need the other racers in order to excel - drafting, bumping, etc.

So it is with the Tea Party movement. Although there are a multitude of "grassroots tea party organizations" out there, the whole is greater than any of those individual "units". Here's a story you may like. It's about the "whole", it's about teamwork. It's about each "individual" and each "unit" knowing it's responsibility to the "whole", and accepting and executing those responsibilities for the greater good of the whole.

We need to be careful not to allow our success during this election to "go to our heads" and give us a false impression of our own value. We are all only as good as the whole, and the whole is better than any one of us! So don't lose sight of the goal! I doubt it will happen, but you never know.

While this story is geared towards the business community, one can easily see how it applies to the Tea Party movement.

Pulling Together by John J Murphy


Cooperation...Nobody can get there unless everybody gets there.

Consistent application of the 10 rules of high performance teamwork ultimately generates trust, respect, unity and power within any team. Conversely, consistent violation of any one rule destroys this bond. While the author of the following is unknown, "Lessons From the Geese" is a powerful illustration from nature of the rules of high performance teamwork. As you read about the natural unity that exists among this species remember - this same unity can exist in your organization!

As geese flap their wings, they create an uplift for the bird following. By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if any bird were to fly alone.

If we share a common direction and a sense of community, we can get where we are going more quickly and easily because we are traveling on the thrust of one another!

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.

If we have as much sense as geese, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go, and we will be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to others.

When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies at the point position.

If we take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership as with the geese, we become interdependent with one another.

The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. If we “honk,” we need to make sure it is positive and encouraging. When a goose gets sick or wounded or is shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is able to fly again or dies. They then launch out on their own, with another formation or catch up with the flock.

If we have as much sense as geese, we too will stand by each other in difficult times, as well as when we are strong. Let us all try to fly in formation and remember to drop back to help those who might need it! BEHOLD THE POWER OF TEAMWORK

The greatest accomplishments in life are not achieved by individuals alone, but by proactive people pulling together for a common good. Look behind every winner and you will find a great coach. Look out in front of every superstar and you will see a positive role model. Look alongside every great achiever and you will find caring people offering encouragement, support and able assistance.

Rising to this level of interdependent thinking can be challenging and difficult. Looking beyond oneself, asking for help or accepting help can feel risky. But people are not given life to simply take from one another. We are here to give. Our mission in life is to offer our gifts to benefit one another, to create mutual gain in the world. This is called teamwork, a win/win mindset stemming from a genuine commitment to the rules that allow it to happen.

Republican Establishment Trying To Derail Tea Party?

After seeing what happened to mostly "moderate" Democrats and some Rino's on November 2nd, the Republican Establishment seems intent on creating decisive rhetoric to derail the Tea Party movement, perhaps hoping to diffuse some of the power Tea Party candidates (and those regular folk claiming to support that movement) have seized this election cycle. They are scared.

They are afraid that their agenda of "get along politics, as you Dems pull us further and further to the right" in order to keep their "good ol' boy" clique in power may be coming to a screeching halt. they are afraid they may be outed for who and what they are - moderate progressives, RINO's!

And so they have taken the propaganda offensive to minimize the impact the Tea party really will have in this Congress and in future Congresses. Don't let them fool you! And as for Jim DeMint? Man, I love that guy...

GOP congressman says Palin cost Republicans control of Senate

By Holly Bailey holly Bailey

A GOP congressman from Alabama has given fresh fuel to a growing debate within the Republican Party over its failure to take control of the Senate amid last week's enormous GOP wave on Election Day. Nine-term Rep. Spencer Bachus, in line to head the House Financial Services Committee, has laid blame for that setback at the feet of Sarah Palin.

As first reported by the Shelby County Reporter's Jan Griffey,  Bachus told members of a chamber of commerce in his district that Palin's tea party choices sank GOP chances in the Senate.
"The Senate would be Republican today except for states [in which Palin endorsed candidates] like Christine O'Donnell in Delaware," Bachus told the South Shelby Chamber of Commerce. "Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate."

According to Bachus, that means Republicans aren't really in charge in Washington. "You can wipe that thought from your mind," he said. "Democrats are in control of the presidency and the Senate. It would take 67 votes to override any veto."

That's not to say Bachus, who is considered a staunch conservative, is anti-tea party.
He told the chamber while tea party candidates did well in House races, the movement's picks in the Senate "didn't do well at all."

Palin aide Rebecca Mansour responded to Bachus via Twitter Monday night, suggesting the blame should not fall on Palin, but rather on the candidates who lost. Mansour did not mention O'Donnell, whom Palin endorsed in this summer's GOP primary, but she cited three losing candidates whom Palin did not endorse: Dino Rossi in Washington, Ken Buck in Colorado and Linda McMahon in Connecticut. She also listed three whom Palin did support—Carly Fiorina in California, John Raese in West Virginia and Sharron Angle in Nevada—though she added that Palin did not endorse Angle in the GOP primary.

"Sarah Palin didn't cost the GOP the Senate," Mansour said in a Twitter message. "We were nowhere near winning control of the Senate. Deal with it Beltway GOP."

Bachus is the first Washington Republican specifically to blame Palin for the loss of the Senate, but other leading GOPers have been pointing fingers at another tea party leader, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint. Both Lindsey Graham, DeMint's Senate colleague from South Carolina, and former Senate GOP leader Trent Lott took barely veiled jabs at DeMint, each telling Politico that the GOP had not nominated its best candidates in 2010.

Politico quoted another GOP senator, who declined to be named, trashing DeMint specifically and calling him a "big loser." "It's like you're on the five-yard line ready to score and the quarterback calls the play and some member of your team tackles one of your members and keeps you from scoring," the senator said. "We came tantalizingly close to a majority."

But DeMint pushed back on that criticism Sunday, telling NBC's "Meet the Press" that the GOP should crediting the tea party for its gains last week. "I think [tea party activists] made a huge difference in the election," DeMint said. Asked about Christine O'Donnell, whom he and Palin endorsed against party pick Mike Castle in Delaware, DeMint insisted she couldn't have won because she was "so maligned" by other Republicans. "She didn't have a chance," he said.

Is The AMERO On The Horizon?

You've heard of the Euro, the monetary equivalent of the dollar in Europe. But there are now reports that the Amero - the monetary standard for North America - The US, Canada and Mexico - is being printed as we speak in Colorado. Is it true, I'm not sure. But watch this video, and then decide if it's possible? And if it does occur, what happens to the money YOU have in the bank? What happens to the equity you've accumulated over your lifetime? Look to Europe for your answers. If You aren't scared for the future, you are not paying very much attention.

Gibbs threatens to pull Obama from India talks after press dispute

By Michael Calderone
Mon Nov 8, 9:01 am ET

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is known for sparring with White House reporters, making for what often seems an antagonistic mood in the press briefing room.

But during President Obama's trip to India, Gibbs assumed the role of press advocate and threatened to pull Obama out of bilateral talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh because three U.S. reporters were blocked from covering the meeting.

Indian officials would let only five reporters into Hyderabad House in New Delhi instead of the agreed-upon eight.

The Washington Post's Scott Wilson—who was on White House pool duty Monday and filed the report for the White House press corps—wrote that "Gibbs announced loudly and persistently on steps of Hyderabad House that he would pull" President Obama out of the meeting "unless 'the White House 8,' as we've come to be known, were all allowed in."

As the discussion continued, Gibbs grew more animated.

"At one point, Gibbs literally had his foot lodged in the closing front door, asking if the Indian security officials pushing hard to shut it were going to break his foot," Wilson continued. "More angry words ensued, and after Gibbs convinced them, through high volume and repetition, that he was serious" about pulling Obama, the press secretary had the security retinue's full attention.
Gibbs' intervention worked: The Indian officials eventually allowed the full American press delegation into the event, along with a larger group of Indian reporters.
