Maybe again???

Very true in 1776. Very true in 2010. It appears those trusted with the governing of this great nation seems to have forgotten they owe their allegiance to American Citizens, not illegal immigrants, not multi-national corporations, not to have Americans die for other countries no! Their job is to protect American Citizens and to insure the very rights that are laid out in the Declaration of Independence are there for this generation as well as subsequent generations.


 


 


 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

Elected pensions

The AG is trying to take away Perez's pension.


 

My question is;

Why should any elected official receive a pension no matter how many or how few terms they serve? Another is why any government employee should receive a pension funded by taxpayers when most taxpayers have to have their own 401K. Why should government officials and employees have better pay retirement and benefits than the poor taxpayers that have to pay for it.


 

Go back to the elected ones.. It's their choice to seek that office. I don't believe our founding fathers expected people milking the taxpayers for years upon years or turning an elected office into a career. It's disgusting. I think the idea behind elected office was to bring in new blood and ideas every election or every other not this job for life. I believe in the federal system and it appears in Hartford's too that one term gets you a pension. Many people worked over 50 year and are barely holding on. Yet the same people who ruined social security and tax us into bankruptcy live high on the hog while in office and the same way once they're out all on the taxpayers dime.


 

Time to vote them all out and institute in their place such safeguards as we deem necessary for the survival of America which definitely means doing away with retirement for any elected position.

Defense attorneys.

Do defense attorneys go too far in defending the guilty? Not in protecting their rights which are the defense attorney's job but in attacking the victims?

Do defendants have more rights than victims?

Do victims get the short end of the stick?

Should laws be written that the government not insurance companies or families will pay all medical bills, including any mental health needs they may need that relate to the crime as well as all funeral expenses if need be? I mean why not? If the criminal is convicted all their medical and mental issues are being paid for by the taxpayers, hell we even pay to heal them to put them on trial.

Socialism/Communism

If socialism/communism is a better form of government then the capitalistic form we have in the United States of America, why do average citizens of countries such as Cuba and the former USSR, China and many other nations risk everything and their lives to get here?

I'm sure for the ruling elite of those countries it is an excellent form of government. They squash free speech, dissension, independence, the ability to make a better life for yourself and your family all to keep themselves in power. Sound familiar? Look at the main players in our government today. The majority are millionaires. The majority are in favor of any legislation that takes the power of governing the people out of the hands of the people and putting it in their hands. What happened to "a government by the people, for the people and of the people"?

Can any supporter of the current trend in America explain to me and perhaps millions of other Americans why the form of government (less intrusion in personal lives) the belief in a Christian God, a capitalistic form of business that together have created the greatest nation in the history of the world. A nation that took in legal immigrants from all countries, a nation that holds freedom to worship the religion of your choice an inalienable right, a business climate that lead to some if not most of the greatest discoveries and technological advances in history should be destroyed?

I don't believe it can be explained.

I think what we have is a self perceived elite class of politicians who have forgotten they derive their power from the people and do nothing more than enact laws and regulations to perpetuate their dominance over American citizens. It is time for Americans who believe in America to take back our country, to hold accountable those politicians who do not respect, honor, follow and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and vote them out of office in November and to paraphrase the Declaration of Independence "put in their place such people who will respect, honor, follow, and defend the Constitution" there-by bringing back the free America countless millions have died and are dying to defend.

Disgusting Insurance Practice

Heard something interesting from my agent for my bike. It appears that in the next 15 months or so if you don't use the internet and email to receive all your policy info and to pay your bill electronically you will be put in the CT Assigned Risk Pool. Not because of your driving history but how you pay your bills. It appears checks and receiving mail is not approved by the insurance industry.


 

As of now this is suppose to only affect the "recreational vehicles" motorcycles, ATVs, boats stuff like that. How long do you think it will be before the insurance companies force you to do that for your car? I mean to pay an "Assigned Risk" rate like a drunk driver, or an accident prone person just because you want to write checks? Disgusting and if our legislature lets this happen well fill in the blank on what should happen to them.


 

Oh yeah those of you who don't insure recreational vehicles sit back and say it won't happen to me just watch. And what happens when seniors who are on fixed incomes have their rates doubled or tripled because they are not computer savvy.


 

The media should jump all over this, as well as all of you.

OMG I was looking at the TV guide channel and here is this advertisement for that Paris Hilton idiot to buy herself a British Best Friend.

I feel like Rip van Winkle. It seems I took a nap and when I woke up they had a whole new section in the dept store, a "BUY A FRIEND DEPT" again OMG. When I was growing up and still now in my life and the people I deal with, you don't buy friends you make them with trust, caring and love. You enjoy spending time with them for who they are not what they can buy you.
Then the put this on TV and the kids grow up thinking you have to buy friends, it's the material things that matter, that other moronic show I see advertised Gene Simmons just the ads are disgusting it's all about greed and materialistic behavior.

And people wonder why kids turn to drugs, risky sex and behavior or kill themselves. Look at the role models they have. Useless pieces of junk whose claim to fame is what? It sure isn't any of the virtues of life. They sure don't exemplify any goods behaviors it's all selfish and greed.

Glad I'm my age. I shudder when I think of what the generation that will follow these teenagers will be.

ZPG

Zero Population Growth. Haven't heard much about that in awhile. I wonder why that is, maybe it had it's 15 minutes of fame I don't know.


 

What brought it to the fore front in my mind was an article in the April edition of the National Geographic about water.


 

It seems ( and I may be off a % point or 2 I'm doing this from memory) that 97.5% of the water on the earth is salty and not fit for human consumption, out of the remaining 2.5% a tad over 1.5% is locked up in snow and ice leaving only 1% of the water on earth for human and animal consumption. That's not a lot of water.


 

Another fact that was mentioned was that we are adding 83 million humans to the planet per year. To me this is a recipe for global disaster.


 

The earth is a finite sphere it only has so much land, water and air it can only support so many beings. I think it is closely reaching it's maximum limit if we are not already there. It could just take the straw that broke the camels back and life as we know it is over.


 

And we caused this problem. How? By healing too many diseases, by keeping people alive on machines and wasting precious irreplaceable resources, by refusing to accept the fact that we were born to die and not live forever. Mother nature gave us a certain life span that through out history kept the planet and it's inhabitants healthy. Now we have screwed that up. In our arrogance and science we have gone up against mother nature's plan and we had better watch out. Look at the abnormal weather patterns, the new diseases that are popping up. We have no one to blame but ourselves.


 

I have no answer to this and I don't think there is one, we crossed onto to the slippery slope of over population awhile back and the only question in my mind is how long of a slide do we have until total extinction? I don't think too long. I know people say science will save us, science caused this. What do you think caused the potato famine in Ireland, science is what hybrid potatoes that were all acceptable to the same blights and on and on.


 

I could say more but I'd like to hear other thoughts before extinction hits.

Stupid government

The fact the government is run by morons with no feeling for the American taxpayer goes without saying, however I love to say it to remind myself and others.


 

They have now reached a new low in stupidity and waste of taxpayers dollars.

In my mail this afternoon was an envelope from the census bureau, I thought OK I'll fill it out and send it back get it out of the way. I opened it and didn't see a return envelope than I read it. It was just a letter telling me that next week my census form was coming and to fill it out and mail it back.


 

Let's see, newspaper ads, TV ads, radio ads, and a form coming in the mail that says you have to fill this out and send it back. I guess who ever the brain dead moron was who thought up this mailing thought he was dealing with government employees who couldn't figure out what to do with the census form with out a letter first. Oh yeah and he probably got a bonus for the monthly government contest of "Stupidest ways to waste tax dollars". And they get better benefits than us, they'll probably get paid to fill out the form because it's "government work" who knows maybe even OT.


 

I wish I could say I am totally amazed but I'm not I'm just wondering what the next stupid moronic thing the government will do to top this.


 

Oh yeah it's printed in different languages.

Bring back America

"Industry is increased, commodities are multiplied, agriculture and manufacturers flourish: and herein consists the true wealth and prosperity of a state." --Alexander Hamilton, Report on a National Bank, 1790


 

Can anyone remember when an American administration republican or democrat cared more for maintaining jobs or pride in America what the above quote says than it did for giving it away and building up some other nation?


 

Herein is a problem for some reason American governmental officials feel what? Embarrassed that America was the greatest, most innovative/inventive country in the world and destroyed it by giving it all away.


 

Try to import into Brazil it's very tough, and our goods are highly dutied, yet anything coming from Brazil comes in with little to no duty they have most favored nation status. Also if you do not sign your commercial invoice in blue they fine you $2500 US. This is just one example I see everyday of why we are going down the tubes. Last year it took 10 weeks to get permission of the Chinese government to send in a $1600 warranty replacement motor because they had to insure that a replacement made in China wouldn't work or that the EXACT motor wasn't made in China. You see China won't let you import machinery that they manufacture there. Yet tell them we're going to slap duties on their equipment and it's unfair trade and the cowards and traitors running the American government bow to them. Totally disgusting. We should put duty and VAT on all imports to the US that mirror the duty and VAT the country the imports are coming from put on US goods that make them more expensive than the home made goods.


 

It's time to protect America and the American worker and if other countries standards of living don't equal our that's their problem have their government figure it out. It's not the American Taxpayers job to feed and cloth the world.

Thank you MA voters

Yes THANK YOU MA voters for standing up for America. Thanks for taking a good hard look at what is ruining this great country which is obama, pelosi the racist reid and their ilk and saying no more we are taking back our country. The evil kennedy hold on MA is broken and with it the evil spell the obamanation had on America. YES it is a great day again for America. I foresee obama being impeached or forced to resign in disgrace before his term is up.


 

America real mom & pop hard working America doesn't tolerate Chicago thug politics, behind the scene buyout of the unions not to mention the illegal activities of ACORN nor do they sanction Czars like van jones and the are starting to speak again.


 

If you want to say anything good has come out of the obamanation administration it is that it has galvanized middle America, it has woken it from it's apathy and the silent majority is saying NO MORE. We want America for Americans not illegals, not socialist not communists but capitalist hard working Americans.


 

One Big Appalling Mistake America has the first big hole in the dam and it is about to burst no repair possible.
