Most Recent List Of Traitors To The U.S. Constitution And Our Citizens

Common Sense Commentary: The resistance against sin, criminal and government attack is never ending. The wolves are always at the door lusting after their way with us. The very fact of their unabated, snarling hunger for our souls is proof of the existence of a real, live devil.  Men just couldn't be that determined in their own weak, human selves without a greater power behind the scenes pulling their puppet strings. Thank God,   "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 john 4:4.

Last month we came four votes away from the United States Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:
To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.

Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.
Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the U.N.

Keys To The Kingdom Of Success

Common Sense Commentary: There are two areas of success in life. The first is in the "Kingdom of Earthly Success"... business, reputation, and physical success, which has many keys.  The second, and most important is the "Kingdom of Heavenly Success" which has just one master key but it opens all doors.

There are Multiple Keys to the Kingdom Of Earthly Success. Some of them are:

GET ORGANIZED and stay organized ... Keep everything important tended to and in it's place. Reorganize often, more often, and never procrastinate. Never stop organizing your business, home and life.

SEE THE BIG PICTURE, the forest, not just one or two trees; all the stars... not just the brightest one. The panoramic view, how each thing relates to the multitude of things surrounding it. Visualize success.

MAKE FEW PROMISES, but keep, to the letter, each of them. Your word is a promise. The dependable word of an honest man will open a thousand doors. One broken promise or word will close a thousand. Keep your word or don't give it.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.  Things, situations and people are seldom, if ever, what they appear to be. Do not underestimate your enemy or opponent or competition; But do not overestimate him too much and be needlessly fearful. Our speculation as to other peoples reasons for what they do is seldom correct.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE, not gods, super humans, or superior to you. Neither are they animals, worthless or inferiors.

ALSO REMEMBER THAT NOBODY IS EVER EXACTLY WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE.... sometimes better but usually worse. Everybody wants to look better than they are and they try harder in public to leave a good impression.

NEVER NEGLECT TO SHOW KINDNESS AND RESPECT to all people... even those you have to fire, wound or kill. Do nothing with hatred. You are neither more nor less than any other human being. Your faith, brain and motivation are the differences.

LEARN YOUR ENEMY'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.  Avoid his strengths and trade to his weaknesses and the gaps and errors in his methods. Do not deal with the head of a snake but, "take it by the tail"... Exodus 4:4.

STUDY THOROUGHLY ALL PURCHASES. Buy on logic, reason and knowledge but never on emotion. Every dollar spent on emotion is a dollar lost to a greater, wiser stewardship need.  Emotional spending leads to bankruptcy and misdirects energy from the goal of success.

NEVER FAIL TO SHOW APPRECIATION for gifts, favors and a job well done. A thankful person attracts generosity, kindness and friendship. Lack of appreciation closes those same doors.

RONALD REAGAN SAID, "TRUST BUT VERIFY". Trusting other people's word is
important in all areas of life, but verification is absolutely essential in all important matters. Unredeemed human nature is never quite honest or truthful.

ALWAYS BE PUNCTUAL. Other people's time is as valuable and important to them as yours is to you. It is wasters of time and disrespectful sluggards who are invariably
late for appointments and keep other people waiting and wasting their time. Lateness, without unavoidable reason, is the same as lying and stealing other people's time.

PROTECT YOUR CREDIT RATING.  It is your "reputation" and trading platform. A
good credit rating will save you more money, in a hundred unexpected ways, than most of your investments and far more than a Certificate of Deposit. To those you do business with, it reflects the dependability and consistency of your word.

GET THE FACTS, seek counsel of experts and experience; absorb all the information available related to your decisions, business and investments. Learn to handle your own portfolio rather than paying someone with less interest in you and your savings than you are.  Good Information is a fortress with towers, an arsenal and a mote.

UNDERSTAND THAT SUCCESS IS BUILT ONE BRICK AT A TIME ...not hatched out and born whole. It takes time, hard work, frugality and consistency.

KEEP A PRIORITY LIST, each day, with most important things first, so they will get done, and leave less important things undone until later. Start over tomorrow, and every day, realigning your priorities and adding new things. Stick to the list.

THE FIRST THING ON THAT LIST is that "single key" to the Kingdom Of Heaven Success .... Matthew 6:33   But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. All of those keys and doors to earthly success, above,  are opened by this one key. RB

God Is My Governor

Common Sense Commentary:"God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.  That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.  O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth." Psm.67:1-4. God gives us "mercy", "blessings", guides us in "His way", gives us "saving health", "praise", "a song",
"judges" us and "Governs" us. He is the Christian's Governor. He is my Governor.

The word "Govern" is from the Latin "gubernare" and means "to steer, to exercise continuous, supreme authority over. A Commandant and CEO" according to Webster. His next definition doesn't seem to apply here, but I think it does... in a way.  It is this..."An automatic attachment controlling speed, pressure or temperature." Well, the Holy Spirit is more than an "attachment" but He is definitely attached to Christians. He certainly warns, convicts and governs our thoughts, words and actions or makes us  wish we had yielded to Him.  The Holy Spirit deals with the Christian all of the time.  He is a person, not a devise, but He constrains, comforts and convinces us of sin (the evil of it), righteousness (the need for it), and judgement (the certainty of it) even as a governing devise controls speed, pressure or temperature.  Jesus promised, "And when he (the Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." Jn.16:8.  He has surely been actively doing that work in my life ever since I was saved and has often had to deal harshly with me to get my attention.  This is God's way of guiding our lives into His "way" and keeping us on the right road, but not too slow or fast or reckless. There is no verse in the Bible where Jesus ran or even rushed to fill a need, no matter how serious.  Lazarus is a case in point.  Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, were very close to Jesus.  He stayed with them on occasion.  Lazarus became deathly ill and his sisters sent for Jesus.  Jesus got the message but remained where He was for two more days, until Lazarus died and was buried.  Only then did Jesus tell his disciples that Lazarus was now dead so they would go to him ... not for his funeral, he was already in his grave, but, "for the glory of God", He said.  They seemingly took their time because when they arrived, Lazarus had been in the grave for four days.  Martha, in effect, said, Lord where have you been?  Her actual words were, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."  She had sent a messenger to get Jesus but he returned without Him, so Mary and Martha knew where Jesus was and how long it should take Him to get there, but He didn't rush to Lazarus to heal him. Why?  Jesus has His own purpose in all of their lives.  He wanted to raise Lazarus from the grave, and waited so everyone would be sure Lazarus was, indeed, dead and buried for four days. Jesus wanted to strengthen their faith.  Read it in John 11:1-46. He does the same in our lives.

There are, of course, certain times when haste is required.  We may not always know when haste is needed, but God does.  He is our Governor and He knows exactly how to impress upon us the urgency of a matter.  But almost every time my "type A" accelerator hits the floor-board, I forget something, break something, lock myself out of my car or home, or otherwise make the problem worse.  It nearly always pays to stop, think, pray, make a plan and be sure the garage door is not down when you back out.  In other words, wait for God. Many a person has been killed on their way to the hospital to see after an injured or sick loved one, or rushing to an appointment .... late.  God is your Governor.  don't let your fear or emotions take control, from God, over your life.  In an emergency, like a traffic accident, listen to the Holy spirit and don't run out into on-coming traffic or stand by your car in the highway.

Yes, God is my Governor. He leads, rebukes, inspires, teaches, encourages, comforts, heals, strengthens, protects, blesses and keeps me in His way.  He starts and stops me, speeds me up and slows me down.  He is the sovereign authority in my life. He  chastises me when I go astray and blesses me when I do not.

Remember, if we do not listen to and walk with God everyday, we aren't likely to do so in an emergency ... a time of crisis. Let us yield to the governing will and hand of God.
We will get to where He wants us much sooner. RB

Who Cares Why Rattlesnakes Bite... So What ... Kill Em On The Spot

Common Sense Commentary: Having been born and raised in Sweetwater, Texas, the Rattlesnake Capital Of The World, I understand this fellow Texan's logical way of dealing with rattlesnakes and terrorists. RB 

 Rattlesnake Logic from a Logical Man....In Texas

The news media will spend weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did in Boston . They will want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They will want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something unlawful The media will be in a tissy about the new era of home grown radicals and about how they could live among us and still hate us.
 
Here in west Texas , I have rattlesnakes on my place. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because a rattlesnake will bite me and inflict me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me. It will bite me because it is a rattlesnake and that is what rattlesnakes do.
 
I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake…I just kill it. I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so that I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me…I just kill them. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are because (a) it won’t tell me (b) I already know that they live on my place…I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
 
I don’t look for ways that I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non poison rat snake. I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion I kill a rat snake, because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know that for every rattlesnake that I kill, two more lurk out there. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes.
 
Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them their fair justice….I kill them.

 Maybe as a country we should give more credit to the jihadist terrorists for just being rattlesnakes! Kill them where you find them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I give them no credit for eating rats and mice...
even as a public service. Folks in Sweetwater eat
rattlesnakes ... after they kill em. RB

The Battling SEALS Of Benghazi

Common Sense Commentary: Many a man, and woman too, has exposed their true self in a single off the cuff comment, which destroyed their effectiveness to lead, from that moment forward.   The comment, "just a bump in the road", quoted in this, now famous poem, could very well change the course of history in our country.


The Battling SEALS of Benghazi
             By anonymous Marine Officer

We're the Battling SEALS of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a firey death in a blazing hell,
defending the country we loved so well.
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate, 'n scaled th' wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety, 'n stood at th' gate.
Just the two of us, 'n foe by th' score,
but we stood fast to bar th' door.
We called for reinforcement, but it was denied,
so we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
'n Obama didn't give a damn,
just two dead SEALS, who carried the load,
no thanks to us, we were just "bumps in the road"

"Bump in the road" quoted from president Obama's
comment, about such incidents, in an interview.

And Then It Is Winter

Common Sense Commentary: Every season of aging has it's own benefits and liabilities. I have now seen all four of them and can honestly say that each has an equal weight of blessings, challenges and yes, even difficulties.  I would like to be rid of the difficulties but I wouldn't exchange old age to be young again. I have enjoyed all of my 82 years, but.... one life on this earth is enough for me.  I don't want to live, on this earth,,, beyond whatever time God has for me. I can't think of anything more undesirable than to live beyond 100 years with physical pain, failing memory, weakness and burdening those I love most.  No, winter is the last season of the year and of the four seasons of life as well. But, in the four seasons of life, there will never be another Spring .... except the resurrection, and that's good enough for me.  I think heaven will be eternal Spring, youth, health and happiness....  There are no more tears or pain or old age ... where Jesus and our heavenly Father are.  Join us there ... I want to see you, my friend,  .... forever and ever and ever. RB

 

AND THEN IT IS WINTER
          Author Unknown
 
You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

 

But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

 

But, here it is... my friends are retired and getting gray... they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant... but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

 

And so... now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over. A new adventure will begin!

 

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.  

 

So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. What ever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. Do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life.
 
         -------------------------------------------
I am not the author, but I must add this. When it is over on this earth, we will discover that this life was only the preliminaries to see who will participate in the main event of eternal youth, health, happiness and eternal Spring ... in God's very presence. RB

"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them... Ecc.12:1-5

Islam From The "Experienced Eye" View Of An Anti-Nazi German

Common Sense Commentary: Negligent, cowardly pacifists and lazy slugs are also peace loving. The following article was written by a peace-loving German who did not take the Nazi's seriously until they confiscated his family's wealth and property and threw him into a concentration camp.  He knows whereof he speaks. RB


Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well known and respected German psychiatrist, is a man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, who owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.
My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into New York and other public schools in Ontario,


and, yes, in Seattle too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?)

The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.

In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation’s shores.

In the U. K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of “no-go” zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there,
because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just ignores these facts without speaking out, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and pass this on to your friends.

All Hell Is Breaking Loose

in the world, in general.... Out of control crime, wars, natural disasters, drug abuse, incurable diseases, ecological deterioration, currency wars, mammoth indebtedness, perverted relationships,  fatherless homes and a thousand other crises. At such a time, globalization.... to deal with these impossible problems, with world-wide support,  is only natural.  Politicians world-wide are grabbing at straws to "save the world system". World Law would be cheaper to finance, more efficient, less partial, and more powerful in controlling and taxing people, stopping crime with a world digital currency that couldn't be stolen but could be taxed more effectively.  World health would also be more efficient, cheaper and more "equal" to the poorer nations.  World water authority would equalize the use and supply of water so that each person on earth would have the same amount... less for some and more for others.  Ecological Law would stop oil companies and big business from polluting our deserts, swamps and endless reaches of the frozen north and south poles.  World Food distribution would relieve the masses of human populations of hunger and equalize hunger among all peoples. A World Peace Commission could be armed with the most high-tech weaponry to force peace upon nations and individuals who insist on their own selfish rights or unequal freedom. National Constitutions and Laws would be dissolved in favor of World Equality Laws enforced by a World Law Enforcement Agency (WLEA).  It all makes perfect sense... if there are no personal freedoms, no Bible and no God. Such a system befits evolved, human animals which were not created by some God way up yonder someplace.

So you see dear friends, world leaders are not plotting to bring in the Anti-Christ. They support a world government for "logical, practical reasons".  Necessity is their cause.
They are not aware that the moving hand of Satan is pulling their strings ... so all hell is breaking loose ... world-wide.  It is so very apparent in our own nation. Suddenly the majority of our voters are Socialists, Fascists or Closet Communists.  Though they would never admit it, their actions, politics, and votes prove it is true.

All hell is breaking loose in the Religious world as well. Strange new and old cults are popping up everywhere. Sound, Biblical doctrine and spiritual convictions are no longer practiced in most denominations, churches or professing Christian lives. Even common moral standards have been abandoned by most of them. False prophets abound... even in once Biblical churches. A self-righteous salvation has replaced  Eph.2:8-9   "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Strangely, even many previously fundamental, Bible believing churches and Christians are drifting away from sound Biblical standards into a "lukewarm" morass of idle faith.  Jesus said it in Matt.24:24...  "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Even once strong Christian families are falling apart under the stress, confusion, and temptations of a wild, wicked world. These "End times" signs were fore-told by the prophets and even by Jesus ...."Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:   For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.   The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.   And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.   And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.   Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?"  Luke 12:51-56.
If your faith is not embedded deeper than your skin, it will not survive the trials,  tribulations and heart-break which are arising, like an ugly fog, up from the swamps  like foggy-bottom D.C.  Take up the slack, look up and hold on to the things that really matter in life .... especially your family and your Bible. Not Jesus ... because He is doing the holding ... on to you.  RB

The Highest Of All Human Callings: Seeking Truth

Common Sense Commentary: "Study to show thyself approved of God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim.2:15. 

God has put absolute truth in every area of creation and reality, in the universe. That truth is self contained within each thing  and in complete harmony with all the rest of creation's truths. The study of truth is truthology . Ology means study. The ultimate truthology is theology... the study of God. "The" is the expression of a "definite article", singular in it's number, unique in it's character, one of a kind in it's exact essence. There is only the one true God in the one universe. His name is Jehovah. He is the triune God as we, created in His image and likeness, are triune beings... body, mind and spirit.

Everything in God's creation is absolute truth. All truth is God's truth. The truth about evil is, that it is a lie. The Devil "...  is a liar and the father of it" Jn.8:44. That is the truth about him.

The seeker of truth will find it in God's word .... "... thy word is truth" (Jn.17:17) and in Jesus Christ ... "I am ... the truth...." (Jn.14:6) and in true science, which is the explanation of creation ... "... skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science...." Dan.1:4.  For all of these, Satan has his counterfeits ..."science falsely so called" 1 Tim.6:20. And, "False Christs" Mark 13:22.
The study of God's creation is, in fact, the study of God the Creator or it is nothing worth while. If you do not see God in creation, you are not very much of a scientist.
"If... thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul." Deut. 4:29.

God has filled this earth with marvelous benefits and blessings for us to enjoy, but of them all, He Himself is the greatest blessing to seek and find. And when you find God, who is also seeking your attention, you then find all the other blessings, in Him. Jesus promised, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt.6:33.  I must also add, seek friends, companions, husbands and wives who are also seekers of truth.

Now.... "Run ye to and fro through the streets... and see... if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth  judgement, that seeketh the truth...." Jer.5:1.  RB

Common Sense Arrives And Departs With Spiritual Commitment

Common Sense Commentary:When light arrives, darkness flees out the back door. When light departs, darkness fills every corner, crevice and crack. The light of right is departing. RB


TOP-10 "Only In America " observations of the departure of Common Sense.

10) Only in America ...could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a
$35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

9) Only in America ...could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a
black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black
while only 12% of the population is black.

8) Only in America ...could they have had the two people most responsible for
our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and
Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to
be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

7) Only in America ...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of
Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be
harmed by the backlash.

6) Only in America ...would they make people who want to legally become
American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who
sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.
