Get real!
Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.
They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!"

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still POOR
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich,
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong,
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift,
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down,
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred,
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's
initiative and independence,
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could
and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln

Stress
We should not confuse/compare our situation with others (not to ask "Why only me" and get depressed).
Every one of us is unique.
Mother Divine / Nature responds differently with unique love to each one of us. Each one of us hails from different background, have different expectations, input of different levels of self-effort and thus different results.
The shortfalls are for us to improve (let it be in profession, career, family, wealth, status). We need to acknowledge and just proceed to next action (can improve the situation or should we just leave if it is beyond our efforts and if we have done our level best)
Live life full ….We are borne out of joy and happiness …... We are borne to be happy... it is only our own concepts and own views / inference on the events that make us unhappy..... ………..Nothing can take away the happiness from us..!!!
Have a great week my friends

Gun control, it can happen to you, here!
You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way. With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pickup your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it. In the darkness, you make out two shadows. One holds something that looks like a crowbar. When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike,you raise the shotgun and fire. The blast knocks both thugs to the floor. One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside. As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you're in trouble.
In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless. Yours was never registered. Police arrive and inform you that the second burglar has died. They arrest you for First DegreeMurder and Illegal Possession of a Firearm. When you talk to your attorney, he tells you not to worry: authorities will probably plea the case down to manslaughter."What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask."Only ten-to-twelve years," he replies, as if that's nothing. "Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."The next day, the shooting is the lead story in the local newspaper. Somehow, you're portrayed as aneccentric vigilante while the two men you shot are represented as choir boys. Their friends and relatives can't find an unkind word to say about them. Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims"have been arrested numerous times. But the next day's headline says it all: "Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve toDie." The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters. As the days wear on, the story takes wings. The national media picks it up, then the international media. The surviving burglar has become a folk hero.Your attorney says the thief is preparing to sue you, and he'll probably win. The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack of effort in apprehending the suspects. After the last break-in, you told your neighbor that you would be prepared next time. The District Attorney uses this to allege that you were lying in wait for the burglars. A few months later, you go to trial. The charges haven't been reduced, as your lawyer had so confidently predicted. When you take the stand, your anger at the injustice of it all works against you. Prosecutors paint a picture of you as a mean, vengeful man. It doesn't take long for the jury to convict you of all charges.The judge sentences you to life in prison.
This case really happened.On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk, England, killed one burglar and wounded a second. In April, 2000, he was convicted and is now serving a life term. How did it become a crime to defend one's own life in the once great British Empire?It started with the Pistols Act of 1903. This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license. The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns. Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns. Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987. Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed Man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw. When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead. The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions. (The seizure of all privately owned hand guns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.) Nine years later, at Dunblane, Scotland,Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.
For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable or worse, criminals. Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns. The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearm still owned by private citizens. During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism. Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun. Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released. Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying, "We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."All of Martin's neighbors had been robbed numerous times, and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences. Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars.When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns were given three months to turn them over to local authorities. Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law. The few who didn't were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn'tcomply. Police later bragged that they'd taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens. How did the authorities know who had handguns? The guns had been registered and licensed. Kinda like cars.
Sound familiar?

Town Hall Meetings
Well – the master Community Organizer has been busy organizing supposedly ‘open’ town hall meetings, so that only supporters have access and are included in the ‘audience’. What a great way to eliminate those pesky questions from conservatives and patriots who are now refusing to shut up and stay quiet.
I am asking each of you to send a ‘hand-written’ letter to each of your Senators and to your Representative about this issue. It has 100 times the impact of an e-mail. They only way they will not vote for this crap is if they know they will be voted out of office by voting for it.
These people believe they are now the new elite American Royalty ruling class, and the laws they write for the ‘serfs’ and commoners do NOT apply to them. They get special health care for life, special perks and privileges, special retirement benefits for life, several months of vacations each year, and tax-payer provided first class trips on private jets to exotic spots around the world. It is no wonder we no longer have any “Statesmen” but now only have money grubbing, power hungry, self-serving prostitutes who pretend to ‘represent’ us – “We The People”. They work for us, but until we stand up and force them to accept that inconvenient fact, they will continue to treat us like their personal slaves and money sources.
How’s all that ‘Hope & Change’ working out for you?

Is Barack Obama a Racist?
"That's just how white folks will do you." -- Barack Obama
It is true? Is the president of the United States of America a closet racist?
Or is he really in the closet at all?
Perhaps, we did not listen, we did not ask, we did not investigate and worst, we relied on others to tell the truth and inform us.
I’m just very sad and sorry for America today.
You judge the video and its content, send me your comments.
More Obama Bombshell Audio Uncovered.
(His hypocrisy on race and divisive, negative comments about white people have been found!! This is straight from the audio book of Obama's biography, unfiltered and unedited. This video exposes the racism at the heart of the rhetoric!!! )

Destroying the best heath care system in the world
Well, does anyone have any doubt that Obama and his administration wants to destroy the health care system we have in the United States of America?
It is just amazing to see how fast he changes his approach and speech depending on the audience.
If you are a democrat, Obama is your man that will deliver universal health care. A dream that you and he have had for many years now. Soon, all people around the world will look at you as the worlds savoir.
If you are republican, Mr. Obama will just give you an option that you may choose…and this choice will lower the cost of your insurance. This will lower your expense involved with your employee benefit package, thus you will make more money!
Everyone must agree that this will be a government run program right!
Right, we all know that.
Please send me a list of all the Government run programs you feel are cost effective, justified and are a benefit to your livelihood that only the government can provide.
Then send me a list of government run programs that are being investigated, failed, corrupt, have no benefit, are going bankrupt, need more government funding to continue and send me your reasons why the US government should expand its list of failures to include health care. I what to understand this.
Listen to the words yourself in the video.

Gun Control, Will Obama Get YOU?
It’s very disturbing that our own deceitful government tries to covertly steal our long and hard fought for freedoms.
The agenda is to take away your 2nd amendment right. Without that, government has effectively neutered all Americans. Our founding father new this, does history have to repeat itself?
Again, I’m just the messenger here. You read, you look at the information, you take the links.
Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation.Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require finger prints and a tax of $50 per gun.This bill was introduced on Feb.. 24.
This bill will become public knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate voting on it at all.
The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate home page, http://www.senate.gov/ You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text
Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply.It has started.Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced intothe House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.
Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar.To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Actof 2009. You will get all the information. Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:-
It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a currentDriver's License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit toa physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. -They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip awaya little here and there until the goal is accomplished before any one realizes it..This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me.HR 45 only makes me/us less safe.<http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.45:<http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/show<http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-45>

Up lifting messages
This message was sent to me...You see if it has meaning in your life;
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you..'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around
I PRAY THIS MOVES YOU, AND MOVES AROUND

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around
I PRAY THIS MOVES YOU, AND MOVES AROUND
