Does this guy ever tell the truth?????

TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF THINGS SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID THAT AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT.


1..) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2..) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well-educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3..) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4..) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY; your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers
have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter... Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5..) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to1 man.

6..) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). Go to:

7..) I Never Practiced Islam - 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 'Obama was 'quite religious in Islam''

8..) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - 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 the New York Times: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting 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.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9..) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise); you have never been
anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine

13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, despite saying, live on TV, which you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I Miss-voted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

18.) I Was A Professor Of Law - NOT EXACTLY; you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

19) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it or create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

interests pork hidden within.

24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens . You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) 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.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel .

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY; you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate - NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.

33.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - NOT EXACTLY, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

34.) I Don't Take PAC Money - NOT EXACTLY, you take loads of it.

35.) I don't Have Lobbyists - NOT EXACTLY, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.

36.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad - NOT EXACTLY, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.

38.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - NOT EXACTLY, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don't have to buy it.

39.) My uncle liberated Auschwitz concentration camp - NOT EXACTLY, your mother had no brothers and the Russian army did the liberating.

Does this guy ever tell the truth?????

Why you must vote to deal with our debt!

Harry and Nancy thank Obama for the budget money!

What is in the NEW Obama budget for his friends Harry and Nancy?


The  Tonopah Solar Company in Harry Reid's Nevada is getting a $737  million "loan guarantee" from  Obama's DOE. (Taxpayer money,  what else?)

The  project will produce a 110  megawatt power system and employ 45  permanent workers.

That's costing us  just $16 million  per  job.

One of the investment partners in this  endeavor is  Pacific Corporate Group (PCG).

The PCG  executive director is Ron Pelosi,  who is the brother of Nancy  's husband.

He is the uncle of California 's  Lt.  Governor Calvin Newsome.

Don't ask any questions, folks; just  move  along, nothing' crooked going' on  here.


Kiss, kiss....

So God made a Farmer

How much different are farmers from those who occupy wall street?



This is how America was built, with men, women and families like these!

Obama and Leadership, vote today

Why has Obama been such a disappointment? 

 Obama "is simply not up to the task" of being our president.  Perhaps his supporters who were so dazzled by his campaign speeches should have noticed "some disquieting aspects of his biography."  Among those disquieting aspects: "that he had accomplished very little before he ran for president, having never run a business or a state; that he had a singularly unremarkable career as a law professor, publishing nothing in 12 years at the University of Chicago other than an autobiography; and that, before joining the United States Senate, he had voted 'present' (instead of 'yea' or 'nay') 130 times, sometimes dodging difficult issues.

The Obama administration has made history by presiding over the first-ever downgrade in the U.S. credit rating. President Obama has outdone all his predecessors in wrecking America’s good name. His answer to this problem: Spend even more.

Raising the debt ceiling was sold as a way of guaranteeing the U.S. credit rating. It had the opposite effect, which makes sense to anyone who understands credit. Take a family with a median household income around $50,000. If they spend $85,000 a year and have debt at $300,000 and growing, it’d be foolish to let them borrow more because they don’t have the income to pay it back. Raising the debt ceiling ignored this reality. Then, the Obama administration immediately demonstrated its utter lack of creditworthiness by blowing 60 percent of the initial $400 billion increase in one day, the largest single-day accumulation of debt in U.S. history.

The White House blames the George W. Bush administration for every economic woe, but the numbers speak for themselves. In 2008, the federal budget deficit was around 3 percent of gross domestic product. In 2011, it’s around 11 percent. Total federal debt was $10.7 trillion at the end of 2008 and is currently $14.6 trillion. Debt as a percentage of GDP was a painful 69 percent at the end of the Bush years, but Mr. Obama is pushing it over 100 percent, another disgraceful historic milestone.
 

The United States is no longer considered among the safest financial risks in the world after Standard & Poors downgraded the U.S. credit rating, but the head of the team that made the change says entitlement reform would go a long way to restoring the country's status.

S&P says that spending on entitlements will persistently drag U.S. debt further into the red.

"The key thing is, yes, entitlement reform is important because entitlements are the biggest component of spending, and the part of spending where the cost pressures are greatest," The S&P said.

S&P remarked that the agreement last week to reduce the nation's debt by at least $2.1 trillion over the next 10 years "fell well short" of comprehensive reforms that some had advocated. It added that it foresees the select congressional committee to be organized to find additional savings will likely avoid raising taxes or doing any significant entitlement reform.

This down grade is the Obama administration fault, no one else’s!

Huge sucking sound!

Debt Limit Debate

My Ex hunter friend sent me a speech he gave just the other night. It is worth reading and passing on to all your friends. Remember, you are not alone. Many common sense Americans have the answers that congress avoids at all cost. Show your support, get out to vote and get all your friends and family members to vote for conservative, smaller government. Knowing that what ever happens in the future, people will have to understand that programs they like, must be cut just as well as those programs they do not like. 

We all are in this together!

·      The federal government is over 14 TRILLION dollars in debt, and now wants to add another $2.4 Trillion.  When I voice my concern and strong opposition, I am called a Hobbit and a moron by the Democratic leadership, and a “Terrorist” by Vice-President Biden.  Our politicians have shown that they are no longer “Ladies” and “Gentlemen”, and will now have to earn my respect.  The gloves are coming off.  I am now “mad-as-hell”, and I’m not going to take it laying down any more. 

·      Currently, the United States is borrowing 42¢ for every dollar the federal government spends.  Simple mathematics dictates that to stop increasing the debt, we must cut spending by 42%, (or grow taxes enough to pay that excess 42%).  In other words, instead of spending a dollar, we can only spend 58¢, without adding to the total debt.  In order to actually reduce the debt, spending must be cut significantly and the economy must recover to near full employment, allowing more revenue to go into the government coffers.  This is the only “balanced” approach which will work.

·      As several past experiences have shown, increasing the tax rate does not translate to equally increasing revenue, because of unintended consequences.  Just look at the loss of revenue in New Jersey and New York City, when they raised the tax rates on the ‘very wealthy’.  A large percentage of those same ‘very wealthy’ packed up and left, which ended up greatly reducing the tax revenue for both areas. 

·      Something like 50 wealthy New Yorkers were paying over 30% of the total tax bill.  When the dust settled, over half had moved out of the city, reducing the overall tax revenue by about 15%. 

·      This will happen every time.  When the government overburdens one small segment of the taxpayers, they will change their behavior and situation to reduce this burden. 

·      Conversely, when the tax rates are lowered to reasonable levels, the economy will grow, because investors and entrepreneurs will then be willing take risks to start or expand businesses.  This will also result in an increase of tax revenue, because of the strong and expanded private sector.

·      If the “Debt Limit” bill in Congress passes, it will be the largest debt increase in U.S. history, regardless of what the spin-masters say.  According to the records published by the Congressional Research Service, if the current bill is passed and the debt limit is increased by $2.4 trillion, the two largest debt-limit increases in U.S. history would come in back-to-back years, both during the presidency of Barack Obama.

·      This deal does not actually reduce spending at all, much less by anything close to 42%, so the total debt will actually increase by $7-9 Trillion in the next 10 years.  However, it will probably increase much more, because almost all promised spending cuts will take place years down the road, where the next Congress can refuse to implement them, just like what happened during Reagan’s term.

·      The games being played by Washington politicians are almost beyond belief.  Quoting numbers from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the claim is that the debt is being “Cut” by almost a trillion dollars.  This is because the CBO can only ‘score’ the numbers based on strict narrow criteria, given to them by the Senate or Congress.  They are NOT like an honest independent outside accounting firm.  One restriction is that the Bush tax cuts will be allowed to expire; thereby raising billions more in ‘Revenue’ (can we say “Higher Taxes”)?  If the Bush tax cuts are extended, then there will be an additional 5-6 Trillion dollars of unmatched spending, and it will all be added to the existing debt.

·      Except for a small minority, our elected representatives have no real desire to ‘fix’ this problem.  They prefer to ‘kick the can down the road’, for some other politicians to solve.  It actually takes people who have a spine and the courage to do what is best for the country, rather than do what might help them get re-elected. 

·      The courageous thing to do, would be to NOT pass this bill, and allow the debt ceiling deadline to arrive.  If we simply paid the interest on the debt (roughly $30 Billion a month), we would not be in default.  After paying the interest on the federal debt, there would be enough additional money coming in every month to pay Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the military, and still have over $30-40 Billion left over.

·      At this point, our spineless pathetic pretentious pompous posturing political parasites would actually have to make decisions about which programs would not be funded.   Washington was originally built on a swamp, and unfortunately, we will never see the political courage or selfless statesmen from the current school of self-puffed up bullfrogs in that cesspool of political scum we call Washington DC, to actually solve our fiscal problems.  They must all be replaced, before our once great country is totally destroyed.  

We could learn a lot from history, if we were willing to look.  Here are some men in the past who have learned about national debt:

·      “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not”.  "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them".  -- Thomas Jefferson

·      "The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.

·      "The multiplication of public offices, increase of expense beyond income, growth and entailment of a public debt, are indications soliciting the employment of the pruning knife."  -- Thomas Jefferson (letter to Spencer Roane, 9 March 1821)

·      "You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer." -- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

·      "Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt." --American poet Ezra Pound (1885-1972)

·      "We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."  -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Kercheval, 12 July 1816

·      “It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.“ -- Thomas Jefferson  -  

·      “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”  -- Thomas Jefferson –

·      “No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt:  on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable.”  -- George Washington,  Message to the House of Representatives, 1793

·      “My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” – Thomas Jefferson

·      "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -- James Madison

·      "A wise prince will seek means by which his subjects will always and in every possible condition of things have need of his government, and then they will always be faithful to him." -- Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)

·      "The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys." -- Thomas Jefferson

·      "I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."  -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Cooper, 29 November 1802

·      "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.  If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."  - Thomas Jefferson

·       "A progressive income tax is needed to transfer wealth and power to the state.”   - 1848, Karl Marx

 

Congress and Morals, any wonder why we have a mess?

535 members of the

United States Congress

36 have been accused of spousal abuse (must be why they have friends with benefits like Bill did)

7 have been arrested for fraud (and that was before being elected!)

19 have been accused of writing bad checks (not if they really are members of the US congress, they all are writing checks that can’t be paid. We barrow 42 cents of every dollar from China just to pay their check writing habit!)

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses (I didn’t know that many had business experience, and we wonder why the country is broke?)

3 have done time for assault (well, wouldn’t want to discriminate would we?)

71, I repeat 71

Cannot get a credit card due to bad credit (Hmmm, this adds to the ones who bankrupted their own business?)

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges (that depends on what the definition of is, is)

8 have been arrested for shoplifting (Now that is bad because they would not be paying taxes on those stolen items!)

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, (So, what about all of them suing the states over immigration?)

And

84 have been arrested for drunk driving

In the last year ! (Teddy lives on through his congressional buddy’s)

This group of Idiots, crank out

hundreds of new laws each year

designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Opps, forgot the smartest man in America, sure, that’s right Mr. President, we have 57 states…

I wonder, what does he smoke at night? 

Obituary, today common sense died!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this blog post on. If not, join the majority and do nothing

Post your comments below and have a great weekend!

Congress, Taxes, Deficits and who is to Blame?

A very interesting column.  COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.

Be sure to Read the Poem at the end.

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...

He has been a journalist for 49 years. 
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat.  Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day.  It's a short but good read.  Worth the time.  Worth remembering!
==================================================================


      545 vs. 300,000,000 People - By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. 

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.  No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want.  If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in  Iraq and Afghanistan ....

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They and they alone, have the power.

They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.

What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren't so true.

Pass this on!

GO AHEAD. . .  BE AN AMERICAN!!!

God bless Charlie Reese and God bless America, again!
