One of the things that I am consistently pushing is that each of you read, search the Internet, and find the real truth for yourself.  This is the one thing that I know will help you to speak with your family and friends and to be convincing about what you are saying. After you have found the truth about all the subjects that are important to you, then it is time to call, write emails, letters, hold coffee klatches, and anything else that will get you before as many people as you can to tell them the truth. 

The one thing that you definitely do not want to do is to take and send to all your friends the email that your Aunt Tillie sent you that was sent to her by her 70 year old hippie friend that has thirty cats, without first checking the facts in the email to make sure they are true.  If you do and the email turns out to be full of false statements or half truths, you, not your Aunt Tillie or the cat lady will look bad.One of the things you can do is to go to the Snopes web site http://www.snopes.com/ to check and see if they have any information on the email you are checking.  While I am not a big fan of Snopes because of their pushing advertising Pop Ups on their web site, their site is a good start to verify the validity of the email you received from Aunt Tillie and the cat lady.

I receive more than my share of these types of emails, from people who want to give me insight on a subject or from people who want to educate me.  As an example, I will give you two emails that I have received over the past week.  Both of these emails are from people that I would have thought would have applied the above rule, however, it is obvious they did not.

One of the emails was entitled “VETS ARE WHINERS!”, which tells the reader that President Obama  was trying to get a bill passed the would require Vets to pay for their own care, even if the health problem was caused by a war injury.  The email tells the reader that the email was based on a fictional dialogue and a mockery of the Obama plan by comedian Jon Stewart.

There is a small particle of truth in the email; however, it is mostly false.  Obama was thinking about asking for such a bill, however, after 48 hours, Obama dropped the plan for the bill due to heavy opposition from veterans groups.  Had the person that sent the email to me simply checked Snopes, they would have found that it would not have been the best thing to forward the email.  As everyone knows, I am not a big fan of Obama; however, we must know and use the truth.

My friend Larry in New Orleans who is sometimes a little off center, sent me an email showing an email someone had sent him in which they suggested that if you wanted to stop the Mosque at Ground Zero all you have to do is what local people did at Seville, Spain, bury a pig in the ground and no self respecting Muslim will build a Mosque on that ground.

Now I must tell you that Larry is not the first person to write me about this, and it is not the first time in history that it has been spoken of and I am sure at some point used.  In fact, supposedly, it is not the first time it has been used this century. Supposedly, the Moskovski Komsomol Newspaper in October, 2002 reported, “Russian security forces have decided to bury the terrorists from last's week's hostage siege wrapped in pig's skin. The aim is to deter potential Islamic terrorists from future attacks.”

The reason for wrapping their bodies in pig’s skin is because supposedly, Shahidi (Jihad martyrs) believe by their nefarious acts that they ascend immediately to heaven to be with Allah. Thus, by using Shadhidi beliefs against them, wrapping their corpses in 'unclean' pigskin prevents them from entering heaven for eternity. 

On August 21, 2001, Deputy Israeli police minister Gideon Esra suggested in the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, “According to Muslim belief, being buried in pig skin or blood could make the body ineligible for martyr status,” the newspaper said.  There have also been reports of the Israeli Army carrying pig’s blood to throw on Muslim terrorist.  Again, I not only doubt that report on the Israeli Army, there is just no information to back it up.

Even U.S. legislators have gotten in on the act by mentioning an act based on a story about General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham (D-Fla.) cited a dinner he attended with people who work on intelligence issues and have connections to the intelligence community. The dinner conversation ranged in part on how U.S. military commander "Black Jack" Pershing used Islam's prohibition on pork to help crush an insurgency on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao after the Spanish-American War.

General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, when he was Governor of the Moro Province, Philippines between 1909 and 1913.  I have yet to find proof of all the facts and to be quite honest, this just sounds out of character for the life General Pershing lived, however, supposedly, General Pershing issued an order telling the Moros to surrender their weapons, when they refused, General Pershing tried using negotiations.  When negotiations stalled, General Pershing threatened the mullahs with . . . "splattering of pigs-blood on your houses and families and any who attack us, and are killed, will be buried in pig-skins."

Other accounts actually have General Pershing ordering U.S. soldiers to dip their bullets in pig’s blood and fat and to grease the barrels of their guns with pig fat. When 12 Muslims were captured, the soldiers killed six of them with "bullets dipped into the fat of pigs, wrapped the Muslim rebels in funeral shrouds made of pigskin and "buried them face down so they could not see Mecca. Then they poured the entrails of the pigs over them. The other six were forced to watch and then released to go back and tell the other insurgents.  Supposedly, that was the end of the insurrection on Mindanao.

There is another story that is floating around the Internet that takes and replaces General Pershing with a U.S. Army Colonel.  According to the Internet reports, one Colonel Alexander Rodgers had buried "all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs."  We have tried to validate this story and we can’t find any validation for it.  There is one account in a book entitled "Jungle Patrol," published in 1938, saying that a Colonel Alexander Rodgers had buried "all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs."

There have been films that have used a variation of the Pershing story which helps continue the story.  Gary Cooper, in a 1939 film, portrayed U.S. Army doctor Bill Canavan while he tried to protect the natives from Muslim fanatics.  Dr. Canavan takes a captured Muslim and drapes him in a pig skin and sent word that all slain Muslim rebels would be buried in pig skins.  This stopped the Muslim fanatics’ savagery by threatening to prevent their entry into paradise.

However, according to Raeed Tayeh of the American Muslim Association in North America, the notion that a Muslim would be denied entrance to heaven for touching a pig is "ridiculous." A statement from the Anti-Defamation League characterized the claim as an "offensive caricature of Muslim beliefs."  Islamic reference books say the body of a martyr who dies for the faith is so pure that it does not need to be washed before burial, in contrast to the usual Muslim practice. 

The best thing that Americans can do to counter the Islamic attack on America, know and understand what Islam is really all about and what their stated goal in the world is.  Educated yourself and your family so that you can intelligently discuss with your extended family and friends what Islam is about.  This is the one thing that Islam does not want you as an American to know, the true goal of Islam.

They do not want you to know that Islam has not been hijacked.  Ask yourself one question, if your religion had been hijacked would you not be screaming at the top of your lungs about the kind of people that had hijacked your religion?  Would the leaders of your religion not be screaming at the top of their lungs, condemning the people that hijacked your religion?  Have you heard screaming from any moderate Muslim leader?  Have you heard one moderate Muslim leader say, ‘We Need To Take Back Islam From These Thugs’?

You must understand Islam is not a religion as much as it is a ‘Religious Ideology’ and it is very politically oriented.  The Quran contains a very specific and mandatory Legal and Political plan.  Striving to institute worldwide Sharia Law is a religious duty for ALL MUSLIMS.  There is no separation between religious and political in Islam.

It is made clear in the Quran that man made governments such as a democracy and FREE SPEECH, such as criticizing Allah or the Quran are abominations and must be eliminated.  How many times have you see people killed or threaten to be killed for drawing a cartoon of Allah or speaking out against Islam, the Quran, or Allah?

Sharia Law allows husbands to hit their wives, drinkers and gamblers to be whipped, commands that a thief must have a hand cut off, commands that homosexuals must be executed, orders unmarried fornicators to be whipped, orders adulterers to be stoned to death, orders death for both Muslim and non-Muslim critics of Muhammad, the Quran, and Sharia.  It is the duty of all Muslims to continue striving until all governments have been converted to Sharia Law.  According to the Quran, Sharia is the law of Allah, any other form of government is a Sin, do you really want Sharia Law?

The most important thing you need to understand is that Muslims are allowed to deceive non-Muslims if it helps Islam.  You should know and understand the words Taqiyya and Kitman. Taqiyya and kitman or ‘holy hypocrisy' has been diffused throughout Arabic culture for over fourteen hundred years since it was developed by Shiites as a means of defence and concealment of beliefs against Sunni’s. As the Prophet said: 'he who keeps secrets shall soon attain his objectives.'

You owe it to yourself and your children to know as much as you can about your freedom, BEFORE YOU LOSE IT!

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I have been kicking around this old ball of dirt for some sixty three years and I have seen a lot of success stories, however, this is one of the best success stories that I have ever seen. 

This story is about the El-Gamal’s brothers and theirs is a true rags to riches story, they are from the union of an Egyptian father and a Polish mother, however, Sharif, age 37, spent time as a child in Liberia and Egypt.  He did, however, graduated from a High School in the America, New Hyde Park High School on Long Island, NY.

Allow me to introduce you to Sharif El-Gamal and his brother Sammy El-Gamal. Sharif and Sammy own SOHO Properties in New York City.  However, do not try to reach the El-Gamal’s on their company web site or by phone, their one page web site requires a pass code to enter and their business phone is a voice mail. Even though, they are the developers of the Mosque at ground zero that has been at the center of the controversy that has 70% per cent of Americans that are opposed to the building of the Mosque.

According to Melvin Pomerantz, whose family owned the property said, “Sharif El-Gamal first came forward in 2006 seeking to buy the empty building at 45 – 47 Park Place.”  Pomerantz said “El-Gamal eventually raised $4.8 million cash for 45 – 47 Park Place.”

Now if you have been following all of this you already know that the property that is up to be used as the ground zero Mosque, is also being called the “Park 51 Mosque”.  At this point you would say, but El-Gamal did not buy the Park 51 building and you would be right because the building 49 – 51 Park Place is not privately owned, it is owned by the Corporation “Con Ed” which is a Public Utility.

So at this point you should be all a quiver with anticipation and ask why everyone is saying that Imam Abdul Rauf owns 51 Park Place.  I don’t know, why does anyone tell a lie about anything?
The truth is that El-Gamal as SOHO Properties paid $700,000 to take over a lease with Con Ed for the building, formally a sub-station, next door, 49 – 51 Park Place, next door to the property that SOHO Properties purchased, 45 – 47 Park Place.  The original lease that Con Ed holds was a 99 year lease and expires in 2071.

In a newspaper article by The Post, “Con Ed said El-Gamal told the utility in February that he wanted to exercise the purchase option in his $33,000- a-year lease for the former substation. The utility is now doing an appraisal to determine the property value, and it would be up to El-Gamal to decide whether to accept the price, the utility said. The price is estimated at $10 million to $20 million. "We are following our legal obligations under the lease. We will not allow other considerations to enter into this transaction," Con Ed said.”

Any sale proposal will go to the Public Service Commission, where it could possibly face a vote by a five-member board controlled by Gov. Paterson.  El-Gamal told The Post his long-term lease was equivalent to ownership and that it even allowed him to demolish the building. Still, he said, he was determined to buy the property. "The cost is not an issue," he said.

OK, I am thorough; I have been called a racist by Maxine Waters because she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and the only reason that she is being prosecuted is because she is black.  I have been called a homophobe by gays in California because seven million people agreed with me that marriage is designed to be between a man and a woman in our religious beliefs. For over a decade I have been called a racist because I believe in the rule of law, that illegal is illegal, and that if you are an illegal alien in my country you need to be deported. Now I am being called an Islamophobic because I think that there is a very bad man who wants to cause our country harm with a slap in the face by building a Mosque next to ground zero.

Never, in the entire history of the world has there EVER been a country that has opened its heart and its purse like the United States of America.  When the earthquake disaster shook Haiti, the good old USA was first in line to help, even though we knew that only half of everything we sent would be skimmed off the top for the corrupt political leaders,  although  we had given over a billion dollars in aid to Haiti before the earthquake.  This is fact, talk to anyone who has tried to get aid to Haiti or any other third world country, you are doing a good job if you get fifty percent of what you sent in to the people that need it.

In my last blog I told you about the “political class” that has been allowed to take control of our country.  They have not done this alone; they have had to take on partners in order to keep the power that we have allowed them to have.  In order to keep that power they have had to sell their soul and our country in order to continue.  You have watched this happen and did not realize what they were doing, they were doing the three card Monte trick on you, while you were watching the card they wanted you to watch, they hid the queen.

One of the partners they took on were the illegal aliens. They have sold your country, bankrupt numerous states, and killed thousands of people in order to allow illegal aliens to become a part of our everyday life.  Until this blog and a few others started telling you the real card that you needed to look at was the vote card, this whole illegal alien issue is about turning them into voters, Democratic voters.  Oh don’t worry, Bush and the Republicans were just as bad, they placated the illegal aliens hoping to get there vote, anyone who was in Congress or the Presidency over the past twenty five years and voted to allow this to happen should be brought up on criminal treason charges, that vote allowed people to die.

It is that very compassion, the understanding, the tolerance, the love for our fellow man that will be our downfall and will be the end to the United States of America.  Just like the “political class” the partners that they have taken on have learned, as did the “political class” that if you work the compassion, understanding, and tolerance, you can get Americans to fall for anything in the name of Political Correctness.

One of the best examples I can give you is the compassion and tolerance we have for allowing illegal aliens to sneak into our country hours away from having a child and then go to the first hospital they could find and have a child, then to give that child automatic citizenship.  Every other country in the world requires that the mother or father of the child be a citizen of the country in order for the child to become a citizen.

You, like most other Americans, think like a westerner, which is a good thing if you are dealing with other like thinking people.  We are dealing with third world people who are pushed by money and political ideologies that are not western; their ideologies are meant to redistribute wealth, and to divide by class, the have and the have not’s.  The thinking is that there is a war, however, not one where a shot will be fired, one where the end will come with a whimper not a bang.  That whimper will be the sound that America will make when they learn that Americans have lost their freedom.

This latest partner the “political class” has taken on; the moderate Muslim is very dangerous and has learned from the mistakes of others that have tried to kill America.  The Progressive Socialist Democrats, the political correct party, that is running the show currently and driving the country over the cliff, have maintained their PC standing; they have made friends with moderate Muslims. The only problem is to find the lost moderate Muslim in America.

If you want to understand the moderate Muslim, you need to go to Europe.  Over the past twenty five years Europe has been overrun with Muslims wanting to find a better way of life than the one they had in their country.  The problem was that they did not want to leave any of their ideologies and any of their religious traditions behind.  What they wanted was to have a separate Muslim area within their host country and be allowed to run their own way of life, courts and banking (“SHARIA LAW”), separate from their host country.

When the Muslim immigrants were not allowed by the host country to have their way of life separate from the host country, they took to the streets.  Just like our illegal alien problem, the Muslim immigrants of Europe have drained the welfare system and have taken to the street in protest.  Last year it took weeks for France to bring the riots under control while property, homes, and businesses were destroyed.

This is not a new problem; the following was written in 2005 by Robert S. Leiken, Director of the Immigration and National Security Program at the Nixon Center and a nonresident Fellow at the Brookings Institution.  “Jihadist networks span Europe from Poland to Portugal, thanks to the spread of radical Islam among the descendants of guest workers once recruited to shore up Europe's postwar economic miracle. In smoky coffeehouses in Rotterdam and Copenhagen, makeshift prayer halls in Hamburg and Brussels, Islamic bookstalls in Birmingham and "Londonistan," and the prisons of Madrid, Milan, and Marseilles, immigrants or their descendants are volunteering for jihad against the West.”

“It was a Dutch Muslim of Moroccan descent, born and socialized in Europe, who murdered the filmmaker Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam last November. A Nixon Center study of 373 mujahedeen in Western Europe and North America between 1993 and 2004 found more than twice as many Frenchmen as Saudis and more Britons than Sudanese, Yemenites, Emiratis, Lebanese, or Libyans. Fully a quarter of the jihadists it listed were western European nationals -- eligible to travel visa-free to the United States.”

“The emergence of homegrown mujahedeen in Europe threatens the United States as well as Europe. Yet it was the dog that never barked at last winter's Euro-American rapprochement meeting. Neither President George W. Bush nor Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice drew attention to this mutual peril, even though it should focus minds and could buttress solidarity in the West.”

Once again the “political class” is thinking like a westerner, their so called moderate Muslim friends are for the most part still thinking like a third world country citizen.  If you think for one minute that any moderate Muslim, if there is such a person, would give up any of their Muslim ideologies and any of their religious traditions for America, you have your head deeply implanted in the sand.  Their help to build their host country has not happened, it has not happened in Europe and it will not happen in America.

The moderate Muslims are just as much to blame for the terrorist attack on the world as the Muslims that did the attack, you could say, they are accessories, they have done NOTHING to stop the people that they claim has high jacked their religion.  If my religion had been high jacked by a group of radicals, I would be screaming at the top of my lungs to try and get rid of them.  That has not happened from any moderate Muslim, including Imam Abdul Rauf, who is on an around the world tour at the expense of the US Taxpayer to spread the good word about how easy it is to take advantage of America.

See, this is where you have to educate yourself; you need to go online and search the web to find web sites that carry what Imam Abdul Rauf is saying on his around the world trip.  What he says when he is talking to a radio station in Egypt?   What he says to a newspaper in another country, and then translate it back into English. This is where you find the truth; you see the good Imam has to say what the Muslim countries want to hear, this is one place that he can’t speak from both sides of his face.  He is also aware that here he can speak what he really feels without the chance that his real feelings will get back to America.

His advice on one occasion while talking to the press was to dress and present yourself as you would to a woman whom you had met and wanted to impress. You would not want her to know everything about you so you would show her what she wanted to see.  This is what is needed to be done by moderate Muslims in America in order to have acceptance in America.

Forget for a moment the fact that Imam Abdul Rauf, the chosen moderate darling of the “political class”, is a liar who supports radical Muslims, he has repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization, and has repeatedly refused to give the source of the money for the Mosque near ground zero, does this sound like a moderate? 

There is no way I can express in strong enough language; that you only have one chance to stop the insanity of the “political class”.  If you allow November to go by and you do not do something to stop the Progressive Socialist Democrats, you only have yourself to blame for what is coming, the loss of your freedom.  You can call me anything you want, I will not allow you to take my freedom.  I will not allow you to turn my country into the country you came from.

Again, I want to make this very clear. None of these issues are about who or what you are, the color of your skin, or how you worship or do not worship God, it is about what you are doing that we feel is wrong.  If you are here illegally, GO HOME, if you want Sharia Law in my country, GO HOME, if you want to destroy the freedom of this country that brought you here to start with, GO HOME.

You owe it to yourself and your children to know as much as you can about your freedom, BEFORE YOU LOSE IT!

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

There is a hidden class of people in America that you need to know about, the “Political Class”!  Not all politicians are of the “Political Class”, not all of anything is everything, however, most politicians have become a member of the “Political Class.”  The best way to find out if a politician is a member of the “Political Class” is to look at the amount of time they have been in office.

This “Political Class” has given us a lot of things, not many of them good.  They have given us the judicial branch that just ruled that it is OK to tell a lie about your military history and any metals that you may or may not have won. To do so is not a lie but the expression of your right to free speech.  All the children out there take note, it is OK to lie to your parents, it is really is not a lie, it is nothing more than an expression of your free speech.

I am sure that every woman in America would be more than happy about her husband exercising his right to free speech about his night out with the boys for a bachelor party.  The “Political Class” has enjoyed this special freedom of speech for years.  Bill Clinton was a trend setter and was definitely ahead of his time with his classic line to Hillary and the American people when he did to Hillary and the American people what he had been doing to Monica with the statement, “I did not have sex with that woman”

Bill Clinton will be so proud; he can go down in history with these two top achievements to his credit.  Children are already having oral sex but not having sex because oral sex is not sex, Bill said so, and it is an accepted practice now to a generation of kids.  I can’t wait until some of my in-laws have a little girl and she uses some of the excuses on them that they have given me when they were younger.  Somehow I can’t believe that they will accept from their little Sally that she is not having sex, because oral sex is not sex.  Oh please God, allow me to stay around long enough for that one.

There are a lot of things that I find wrong with members of the “Political Class”, however, on the top of the list is their changing of American History to fit their own needs and to further their career, their family’s political career, or their party’s political future.  One of the best examples that I can give you is one that has taken place in the past sixty years.

Ask almost anyone who is responsible for the Civil Rights bill and they will tell you it was Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1965, right?  WRONG!  The real truth will surprise you more than you will ever know and when you find out the real truth you will wonder how in the world this lie happened right in front of your eyes and you did not know it. 

How did they hide the truth so that you were not given this information in school? The truth is that Republican President Eisenhower’s administration was responsible for the first civil rights bill and the bill was ostensibly managed by Republican leader Senator William Fife Knowland from California.

Lyndon Baines Johnson was Senate Majority Leader in 1957 when the Eisenhower administration wanted to pass the first Civil Rights bill since reconstruction. Johnson was against the bill and did not want it, however, he helped to pass a watered down bill by his normal intimidation method that he was noted for.  He convinced the liberals that this was the best bill they could hope for at the time and at the same time convinced the Southern State Democrats that a bill was going to be passed and this was the weakest bill.  

Senator Knowland, who had been the Senate Majority Leader prior to the previous election, was one of the major supports of the bill.  After the bill was passed Knowland was reported to have wept because of the bill's weakness and felt that it was a setback for civil rights.  Despite their differences, Johnson as President would look for advice and solace from Knowland during the hard times of his President. Their friendship lasted until Johnson's death in 1973.

If a politician has been in office for more than two terms, they are of the “Political Class”, if their father, mother, wife, sister, or brother is a career politician; they come from a family that is of the “Political Class.”  At this point, they have forgotten the difference between political service and political entitlement.  I would think that any normal right thinking person would have learned from the existing “Political Class” that has dominated the political scene for the past fifty years or so. 

From the Kennedy’s, the Bush’s, the Clinton’s, the Gore’s (Al’s father was a Senator.)  The best evidence of this is was the indignation of the Democratic Party when a Republican won Kennedy’s Senate Seat.  See, that is how the “Political Class” thinks, however, it was not Kennedy’s Senate Seat, it belonged to the people of MA.

Of course, there is the Vice President, Joseph Robinette Biden II and his son, Joseph Robinette "Beau" Biden III who is the Attorney General for the State of Delaware and whom I am sure will be looking at other political job in the future.  Then there are the Reid’s, Senator Harry Reid’s son Rory is running for Governor but not using the name Reid, just Rory.  Rory Reid was also the Chairman of the state Democratic Party.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have no political ties to any party or any individual politician, I am an Independent.  I am a firm believer in the core character of the individual and what that individual can and will do for the country.

This blog is about the greatest movie line ever, while most would say that would be Clark Gable’s line to Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind; “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”  Still others would have you believe that it could be Arnold’s “I’ll be back.”

If you are currently a Politian in Washington take this as a word to the wise, hide, stay inside and most importantly, avoid all cameras and microphones.  Stupid appears to be running rampant inside the beltway.  Every day or two stupid strikes a member of congress and it sticks to them to the point that it is taking days and weeks instead of the normal 12 hour news cycle to get rid of this brand of stupid.

Everyone who knows Al Franken knows that the man is considered a buffoon and No One, in or out of Washington, takes him serious as a person much less a Senator.  With the exception of Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar, and Janeane Garofalo, three other no talented buffoons whom no one finds funny, actually think that Franken is funny and a good Senator.  Yet Franken, a person that has never been funny, appears to be oblivious to how people see him and continues to play the class clown thinking that he is being humorous.  To make my point, I refer you to the picture of Franken on the left.

Again, you would think, would you not, after what has happen to Obama and Speaker Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi after they had weighed in and supported the Mosque at ground zero, that even someone as out of touch as Franken would have known to stay away from the subject.  I mean, Obama and Pelosi are seasoned politicians and when they do something stupid we get to have a good laugh at their expense. But then if Franken says something stupid, it is expected, but not this stupid. Below are some of the comments from Franken and his attempt at being funny and being serious, both of which are indistinguishable from each other when it comes to Franken.  While speaking at the Democratic County Chairmen’s Association breakfast yesterday at the Illinois State Fair, Franken made the following statements concerning the opposition to the Mosque.

Well it appears that the stupid cloud that rained on Obama has struck again and this time Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi got wet and she is still standing under the cloud.  You would think, would you not, that anyone that has seen the amount of stupid that covered Obama when he opened his mouth about the Mosque at ground zero would have known that it would be better to use Superman’s cape as a handkerchief than to open your mouth about the Mosque at ground zero.

Oh, I forgot, Obama and the Democrats have been very open about the fact that they are not going to listen to the polls and in their words, “put our finger in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing.”  If they had been listening to all the polls that are out there, they would have known that we little people all over the U.S. do not want to see a Mosque built within two blocks of ground zero.  Why in the financial district and why when there is already a Mosque four blocks away?

Oh No, not the ever political correct Ms. Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi who does not listen to polls or apparently not to us little people.  Even though Obama is covered in stupid from talking about it, she would never make that kind of mistake.  After all she is the sweet and lovable Speaker of The House, the first and only woman Speaker of The House, and no one would dare to speak evil of her. 

One of the problems that I have had with the Obama Administration from day one is the fact that they have been oblivious to the needs and the desires of the American people.  In fact, it has been obvious that Obama has done almost everything he can to try not to listen to what the people wants and has appeared to continue on a course that is only known to him as his polls continue to drop.

On March 15, 2010, Obama was out on another of his Sell America tours in Strongsville, Ohio trying to sell his national health care bill.  In his speech, he told the crowd about a talk that he had a talk with Dennis Kuninich on the way over to speak to the crowd. The fact that Obama confers with Dennis Kuninich about anything gives me anything but a warm fuzzy felling about our future.  Dennis Kuninich is so far left you need field glasses to find him.

“I was talking to Dennis Kucinich on the way over here about this. The American people want to know if it’s still possible for Washington to look out for these interests, for their future.  So what they’re looking for is some courage.  They’re waiting for us to act.  They’re waiting for us to lead.  They don’t want us putting our finger out to the wind.  They don’t want us reading polls.  They want us to look and see what is the best thing for America, and then do what’s right.  (Applause)  And as long as I hold this office, I intend to provide that leadership.  And I know these members of Congress are going to provide that leadership.  I don’t know about the politics, but I know what’s the right thing to do.”

Really Mr. President, could you please give me some of the right things you knew to do and did them. Surely you are not talking about Tarp, or Health Care, most Americans did not want them.  Are you talking about your suing Arizona, or the statement about the Mosque at ground zero, or the 27 hour vacation in the Gulf States, when most Americans did not want you to do that? Obama makes some good points, “They’re waiting for us to act.  They’re waiting for us to lead.” 

The two latest examples of the “action and lead” example is his support of the Mosque at ground zero and his 27 hour vacation to the Gulf Coast and his photo op with his daughter in the Gulf waters.  Now let me make sure that I have this right, politicians children are off limits, however, politicians can bring their children out whenever they want to try and cover their butt and it makes political points.
For some reason I do not feel that the RedNecks in the Gulf States are stupid enough to overlook the $500,000 dollar trip to Spain for a week that your wife and daughter took with a few well chosen friends and that snubbed their noses at the RedNeck people of the Gulf States.

Who advises this man on action and leadership? Did he not hear James Carville (The Mouth of The South) when he said, “These people are hurting down heeerer; you need to get down heeerer NOOW.”  Did Obama not think that the people on the Gulf Cost would have benefited more if his wife and daughter spend a week on the Gulf Cost rather than a week in Spain?  If you had pulled your head out of whatever orifice you have it stuck in you would know what the polls said.  Oh, I forgot, you are not going to listen to the polls are you?

Never mind that polls are the opinions of the American people, we are not going to listen to the polls, unless they are helping us.  Hold on, I am confused again, now in your speech Mr. President you said, “They want us to look and see what is the best thing for America, and then do what’s right.”  How else do you know what America wants if you do not listen to the polls?  Americans can’t call up their elected officials and tell them what they want, they are like you, and they don’t listen and don’t appear to care. Just how did that $500,000 week in Spain help the American people?

What is really strange is that Obama appears to be taking everyone down with him by not listening to the polls. Americans continue to express near-record-low confidence in newspapers and television news which has been in bed with Obama from day one, Congress has an approval rating, depending on who you ask, at an all time low, even the states and the Governors that support Obama are dropping in the polls. Floridians showed their displeasure with only 36 percent of them saying the country is headed the right direction while 37 percent feel that way about their state and Crist who supports Obama.

Me, I have to go with the Washington Examiner's Michael Barone, one of the nation’s most astute political analysts, when he makes it clear that Obama may be in more political trouble than he or many of his allies are prepared to publicly admit.  That article was written in May, on Tuesday, the president’s approval had fallen to 44.4 percent. Disapproval had jumped to 50.4 percent, a new low for Obama.  While Obama might not want to listen to polls, other politicians do listen to the polls, when Obama starts getting no invites from other Democrats to come and support them, maybe he will start listing then.

Now if someone in the White House wanted to have an adviser on what most middle class Americans want, I would be more than happy to give them a few pointers.  You see, I have been middle class all of my life, and I have been a RedNeck all of my life which is longer than most of the Obama Administration staff have been alive.  I could have told Obama that he would have been better off listening to The Mouth of The South, James Carville, rather than his wife, about where she should have gone on vacation.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

Chapter 13, verse 11 of the Qur’an, “God does not change what is in a people until they change what is in themselves.”

Once more the President of the United States, Barack Obama, has taken the back of his hand to the face of the people of America.  Today Mr. Obama decided that it would be best, and in the public interest, if he supported the Mosque that Imam Abdul Rauf wants to build near ground zero.

Why this should be a surprise to anyone is amazing to me, after all, it was just last week that Obama decided that he would give a slap to the face of Americans by appointing Rauf as spokesman from the State Department to discuss Muslim life in America on the taxpayers dollar.

It is bad enough that they have to face the misguided political correctness and stupidity of the Mayor of New York who supports the Mosque, now they get to watch Obama give this terrorist supporting Imam validity in the government’s eyes by the State Department appointment and now his support for the Mosque.

I can’t help but wonder how Obama would react, if he would be as understanding, if a White Supremacist Church wanted to build a church in Memphis, TN, within two blocks of the Lorraine Motel, near the National Civil Rights Museum where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered?

You can bet that I would be the first one in the street protesting against the church.  Does the White Supremacist Church have the right to built the church within two blocks of the National Civil Rights Museum, YES, is it the right thing to do, NO.  Does Islam have a right to build a Mosque within two blocks of ground zero, YES, is it the right thing to do, NO.

Forget for a moment the fact that the group that is supporting the Mosque is a Muslim group that supports Sharia Law and wants to see Sharia Law applied in America.  I wrote a blog on June, 25^th about Sharia Law entitled “SHARIA LAW, A PROBLEM YOU CAN'T IGNORE!!!” and can be found on this site at, http://www.aredneckblog.com/blog.php?user=RedNeck¬e=4291, you should read this blog to understand the dangers of Sharia Law and how it will affect America.  You should also read the negative affect it is having on European countries and the problem they are having getting rid of the Muslim law after it has been approved.

If the Imam really wants to bring people together let him build a Mosque with a Synagogue, Church, and a Temple within the Mosque building.  If the Imam finds this idea to be offensive, maybe he could build a medical clinic for homosexual street people, to help the street people of New York?  Maybe the good Imam would consider a homeless BBQ food kitchen to help feed the hungry street people?

None of these suggestions would be acceptable to the good Imam; some would even say that I am insensitive for even suggesting the Muslims embrace other religious, a homosexual, or pork in a Mosque, because the Qur’an forbids allowing any of them in a Mosque.  Almost as insensitive as the suggestion of a White Supremacist Church within two blocks of the National Civil Rights Museum or a Mosque within two blocks of where almost 3,000 people died at the hands of other radical Muslims.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, even in the very darkest period of the cold war when at any moment the world could be eradicated by some idiot who pushed a button, in my heart I know that sanity would prevail.  You see, I am the eternal optimist, especially when it comes to my beloved America, WHAT A COUNTRY.

The videos that I am going ask you to view, there are two, will I hope, make you see things a little more my way.  I want you to meet a group of individuals that are true patriots, true Americans that are cut from the same cloth as their ancestors who fought in the American Revolutionary War.

On August 4, 2010, a group of BLACK CONSERATIVE AMERICANS gartered together at the National Press Club to introduce themselves in a press conference to the American mainstream media to show the media members and America in general that there were a number of BLACK, CONSERATIVE, AMERICANS, in the TEA PARTY and counter act the well publicized Democratic lie that the Tea Party is racist.  I can only imagine the number of chest pains and cerebral apoplexy that were felt during this press conference.

The first video shows reporters engage in a heated exchange with black conservative leaders at a press conference at the National Press Club on August 4, 2010 challenging the NAACP on its charges of racism within the tea party.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GizNwzKo3n8

The second video shows the group answering a question from a CNN reporter, Project 21 members Niger Innis (of the Congress of Racial Equality) and Bob Parks, along with Frantz Kebreau of the National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of All Colors, question the validity of claims that the tea party movement is racist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd71TEn5E6o  

To my black friends that have told me how they are shunned by others, especially other blacks, for there conservative principles and believes, you are not alone.  To my white friends that hold racist believes, what are your thoughts now are you ready to put aside your racist believes and fight to save our country and everyone’s freedom?

Make sure you understand that there is no race in FREE, every person has the God given right to be the best they can be, you can only do that if they are FREE.  If you believe in lies and untruths, you will never be FREE, the Democratic Party and the NAACP have a lot in common, they have the same greedy goals and they share the same lies, after all they have been partners for a long time.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

What part of this don’t you understand; either the people you elected who are running Washington are completely incompetent and inept or they are trying intentionally to run the country into complete ruin and bankruptcy.  There are no other options, this is basic home bookkeeping 101, and you can’t spend more money than you take in, at some point you have got to face reality.

What is the reality? The reality is that you are allowing the idiots in Washington to spend your children and your grandchildren into slavery, you would be better of burning the money.  Your grandchildren will be lucky if they get this debt paid off, not to mention the debt these idiots will try and spend in the next two years. While you are standing by and allowing these people to thumb their noses at you and to tell you they don’t care what you want or think, they are going to do what they want to do.

Just in case you need another example of how they are thumbing their noses at you, the Obama administration has appointed Imam Abdul Rauf to be your spokesman and travel around the world on your tax dollars to tell Muslims around the world all about religion in America.  You remember Imam Abdul Rauf, sure you do, he is the terrorist supporting Imam that wants a Mosque to be built close to Ground Zero.

What a slap in the face to all Americans who saw these idiotic Muslims extremist murder over 3,000 people on 9-11.  However, the real dishonor is the complete lack of consideration for the families of the people who had family members killed in those attacks.  It is bad enough that they have to face the misguided political correctness and stupidity of the Mayor of New York who supports the Mosque, now they get to watch the Obama administration give this terrorist supporting Imam validity in the government’s eyes by this appointment.

Sorry, I digress; the same is true with this $26 billion dollars they want to bail out the states that have not been fiscally responsible.  They are telling you another lie, they do not have to do this, Indiana has worked it out, and New Jersey is working it out without any government money or intervention from Washington.  This is another bail out to pay back to the unions for their support in 2008.  There is still over 400 billion in the tarp money that they had to have or we would go under, if you have to have the money to bail out the unions take it from the tarp money.

The following story is taken from the Washington Post.  It is always bad when a drunk driver kills someone because of their inability to not get behind the wheel of a car while drinking, whatever their selfish reason is at the time.  It is ever more outrageous when the person killed is a child or someone who has devoted their life to good.  So very strange that drunk drivers can’t seem to kill another drunk driver, the always seem to pick children, mothers or nuns.

This time it was a nun that was killed, and two other nuns were seriously injured.  You will be introduced to Carlos A. Martinelly Montano, 23, pictured left; the Washington Post will tell you that Mr. Martinelly was charged with his third DUI in five years and with involuntary manslaughter and a felony count of driving on license revoked for DUI offenses.  Montano remains hospitalized with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening.   What the Washington Post will not tell you, nor will any other newspaper article except for the Gainesville Times, is that Mr. Martinelly was also an illegal alien.

“It has been determined that he is here illegally,” Officer Jonathan Perok said on Monday. “He was out on a detainer by ICE when the accident occurred.” ICE, the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, handles immigration offenses.  Who let this person out of custody on a detainer when he had two (2) DUI’s and was in this country illegally?

American citizens are being murdered, kill, robbed, beaten, and raped by illegal aliens who are coming and going across our southern borders at will.  These people are not hard working freedom loving people who want to come and enjoy the fruits of our freedom, they are criminals, they are here to take advantage of anyone they can.  The problem is that we could stop it tomorrow if only congress would act.  It would also help if the main stream media would simply report the truth.  Why would the Washington Post not tell you that the man would kill this nun was an illegal alien?

A 66-year-old Catholic nun was killed Sunday in Prince William County when the car she was in was struck by an alleged drunk driver, according to police and religious authorities.
Two other nuns were seriously injured in the 8 a.m. head-on crash in Bristow, police said.

The nun who was killed, Jeanette M. Mosier, was known in her Benedictine Order as Sister Denise Mosier. She was in the back seat. The nuns were coming from Richmond to the mother house of the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia in Bristow for a retreat, said Sister Andrea Verchuck, subprioress of the mother house.

Police said the three were northbound on Bristow Road near Wright Lane when a vehicle left the southbound lane, hit a barrier, entered their lane, struck another barrier and hit their car.
Police said Carlos A. Martinelly Montano, 23, of Merrymont Lane in Bristow was charged with his third DUI count in five years, involuntary manslaughter and driving on a license revoked for DUI-related reasons.

As I blogged yesterday, THIS IS A TRAVESTY, Democrats will not vote for an immigration bill that does not include amnesty, Republicans will not vote for a bill that does include amnesty in it.  The American people do not want amnesty.  So because the two political powers that be can’t put Americans before their own petty political projects, we, the American people suffer with crime, waste, and corruption.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

You need to know that Democrats are quietly pushing a $165 billion bill through Congress for a union pension bailout.  The ramifications of this bill will far surpass the paltry $165 plus billion the unions want for the bail out. I use the term $165 million plus because there are other sources that have said the number could be as has as $5 billion.

You see, the Democrats need unions to be their thug enforcers and foot soldiers to march to and enforce the social progressive programs they want for America and the Democrats know that Americans are not going to stand still for the program.  You are going to hear that this bailout will create new job and save current jobs, do not fall for that lie, this is about helping the people who help the Democrats get into office in 2008.

You see, the unions had a nice little ponzi-scheme going for many years, then with their greed getting the best of them they have driven more and more union businesses out of business.  The heart of the problem is the companies that agreed to put money for union workers into “Multi-employer plans” but have bitten the dirt and gone out of business.

What this means is that the remaining employers are left funding the pensions of workers which they never employed.  This has left union pensions severely underfunded, with the companies that remain facing an insurmountable burden that could drive them out of business.  Henceforth, the cry from the unions to the Democratic Party to bail them out with the $165 billion bailout fund.  The only problem is that the Democrats will not be the people that pay the bill; it will be the American taxpayer.

Follow me here; if you think that unions do not play a major role in elections take a look at how they are involved in elections.  Did you know that in many states unions are allowed to require employers to let union workers off from work on Election Day so they can bring people to the polls to vote?

The Washington Times — Chuck Neubauer, May 26, 2010, Landmark Legal Foundation has asked the Internal Revenue Service to make sure three large national labor unions comply with tax and disclosure laws in their planned spending of nearly $100 million to save Democrats in the 2010 congressional elections.

Cambridge, MA — A first-ever national analysis of state spending per teacher on political advocacy by the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) released today found that the national teachers unions and their state affiliates spent more than $100 per teacher in five states, with Oregon at the top of the list at $360 per teacher during the 2007-08 election cycle. The report, authored by Mike Antonucci, director of the Education Intelligence Agency, and available on the web at www.educationnext.org, also found that political spending from teachers union dues topped $1 million during the 2007-08 period in 14 states, with California on top at $12.6 million.

Unions have made no secret that they plan to spend $100 million dollars to keep Democratic incumbents in office in 2010. In addition, they plan to use hundreds of thousands of man-hours with their members "campaigning " and "organizing" in key election districts all across America.

Here is what the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) told Fox News with regard to the midterm elections, "We have got to protect the incumbency in the House. We have got to protect the incumbency in the Senate...It is going to be hard. Those tea-baggers are out there. There is an anti-incumbency mood out there." This sounds more like a statement from a party chairman than a union president.

Here is what communications director Steve Smith of the California labor Federation said with regard to their upcoming election efforts, "We are going to devote more resources to the 2010 campaign than we have ever done in any prior campaign." The list goes on and on,

I guess that my question is that if the unions can afford to put that kind of money in elections to try and control who is elected, they could come up with the money they have stolen from their pension funds instead of asking the U.S. Taxpayer to bail them out.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

OK, here is the problem; once again the Obama Administration is making an end run.  Democrats will not vote for an immigration bill that does not include amnesty, Republicans will not vote for a bill that does include amnesty in it.  The American people do not want amnesty.  So because the two political powers that be can’t put Americans before their own petty political projects, we, the American people suffer with crime, waste, and corruption.

It is very obvious; if you give enough to people that have nothing, they will repay you by voting for you.  The Democrats know this that is why they want to give amnesty to as many illegal aliens as possible, they want the Hispanic vote. The issue of immigration has become a political football to be kicked back and forth till one of the political party’s scores.

Now enter stage left Obama the policeman, to make my point I point to an 11-page draft document, which could lead to a non-legislative version of amnesty, written by staff to the director, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, of the Citizenship and Immigration Service.  The memo states that they are reviewing several executive orders and other mechanisms that effectively would serve as a substitute for comprehensive immigration reforms.

Let me make this clear, Congress is impudent, they cannot pass a comprehensive bill to close the U.S. Southern border and stop the flow of illegal aliens, drugs, criminals, and human smuggling.

Obviously, the fact that American citizens and Mexican nationals are dying every day while they do nothing means nothing. Now the Obama administration wants to do what they have done better than anything else, find a back door to a rule or regulation to make it work best for them.

Do not take my word for it, take the word of the four aids that wrote the memo, that general counsel at the CIS has reinterpreted legal opinions of the definition of "admission".  Did you get that, we have reinterpreted the definition of “admission”. By reinterpreting the definition they can change the status of illegal aliens to stay in the United States permanently.  We did not like the way this was interpreted so we have “reinterpreted” it so that we can back door the law and change it from what it was meant to be when it was enacted by Congress or when the rule was made.

Who needs Congress and the Courts, we will just reinterpret what we don’t like and make it happen.  This has been the position taken by the Obama administration from day one, the only opinion that they listen to is the poll that tells them they are losing independent women voters.  When those polls hit them they dress the president up and put him on the view so he can pander to that group.

Now that the memo has been made public and some Senators have called for an investigation, a DHS official told Fox News that the memo was never signed, and more importantly, never sent to the intended recipients, including the director of the agency. "Nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions. To be clear, DHS will not grant deferred action or humanitarian parole to the nation's entire illegal immigrant population,"

I am sorry, the transparency record for the Obama administration has not been good, and especially from someone that ran on a “transparency” plank in his campaign for president.  View the attached vide on this blog and you will find just how far this administration has drifted from what Obama said he would do concerning transparency.

There is just no other way to say this, what the President and Congress is doing is a travesty.   It is bad enough that the President is going after Arizona when all Arizona wants to do is kick the criminals out of their state and stop the excessive spending on illegal aliens.  To have the Obama administration try a back door attack on amnesty is a slap in the face to all Americans.

 The real problem is that while the President and Congress play politics, real people are dying.  Americans and Mexican Nationals are being murdered, wounded, raped, and beaten while the political games continue as if nothing happens.  It is almost as if these people have no shame.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

Why do politicians steal, lie, cheat, and spend MILLIONS of dollars to get a job that pays less than they could make in a mid level corporate job?  There are used car salespeople that make as much money per years a member of Congress.

One of the reasons is the prestige, the what, the prestige, you know, the amount of respect that people have for you as the President or a member of Congress.  Oh, I forgot, the latest polls show that Congress has an eleven (11%) approval rating which is right there with used car salespeople and attorneys. Then there is Obama, his approval numbers are dropping like a rock in just about every group of voters.

If not for the prestige, then what?  How about money, many of the members of Congress who have recently left that fine group of elites will receive more than one (1) million dollars over their lifetimes, some could receive more than two (2 million.  Not only have these thieves taken the public’s trust and money while in office, once you get that pension, it takes an act of God and Congress for you to lose it.  Your pension is safe no matter which of your criminal activities comes to light after you retire.  Even more good news for the American taxpayer is the fact that the pensions for ex-members of Congress are the very generous cost-of-living adjustments that comes with their retirement.

All you have to do to get vested in these very generous pension plans is to keep you head down and do not let stupid catch you for five years and you are in, by the way, so are their staff members.  Just think, Al Franken, yes, that Al Franken, the newly elected Senator from Minnesota, will be able to collect a pension from his six years in the Senate. When he is booted from the Senate because he can’t be re-elected, he can go to work for the Post Office and add to his pension.   America, What a Country!

Then if you are lucky, or unlucky, it all depends on your point of view, to be elected President you really get to suck up the American Taxpayers money.  Congress passed a law in 1958 to provide all former presidents’s a pension, which they can collect the day after they leave the office of president.  It is not a huge amount, just $180,100.00 per year for life.

Then there is the “retirement package” that comes with the pension for life, allowances for office expenses, travel funds, and of course, mail privileges.  Oh come on, you know that all past presidents need to have the ability to keep in touch so that can reach out and touch you again.  If you are smart you can follow Bill and Hill’s roadmap on how to max the benefits of the office of the president.  You can get $500,000 and up from rich oil countries to give a one hour speech.

The latest numbers that I could get you were from 2002, however, at that time there were 4ll retired members that were receiving pension benefits that averaged $55,788 a year.  That’s not the best part, at a time when these same members of Congress want to take the retirement age from 65 to 70 years of age for the average American, members of Congress and their staff are able to retire with a full guaranteed pension at the age of 50.

It only gets better; the number of 411 includes those corrupt members of Congress that were found guilty of a felony.  This includes bribes, telling a lie under oath, defrauding their constituents, and tax fraud.  There are just as many Democrats as there are Republicans that are guilty of this gross misuse of our tax dollars, to add insult to injury, they are still getting by with it.

Now comes the race card, this from the Los Angeles Times, dated August 1, 2010, Ethics trials highlight racial tensions in Congress. “Reporting from Washington — The prospect of two long-serving African American lawmakers in the House enduring unprecedented public ethics trials seems likely to add to the growing tension between black members of Congress and Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill and in the Obama administration.”

“Congressional sources confirmed late Friday that later this year Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Los Angeles) will face an ethics proceeding likely related to allegations that she sought to help a bank with ties to her husband receive federal bailout funds. The House trial could come on the heels of the high-profile trial of Rep. Charles B. Rangel”

The LA Times goes on to explain that between them, Rangel, 80, and Waters, 71, have served in the House for six decades and are leading members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Did it dawn on anyone that part of the problem could be that these people spent “SIX DECADES” in Congress.  Why would anyone keep electing these two people, especially Waters?  This woman has spent more time with her foot in her mouth than on the ground during her time in Washington.

Let’s take a look at New York's 15th Congressional District.  It is the smallest congressional district by area in the United States, comprising just 10.29 square miles (26.65 square kilometers) of land.  If you want to know about the district, take a look at election results from the past three presidential races, 2008 – they voted for Obama 93%, 2004 - they voted for Kerry 90%, 2000- Gore 87%.  Do you think that the district just might like to vote Democratic?  I understand they want to vote Democratic, but why vote for a crook?

Rangel replaced Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. (November 29, 1908 – April 4, 1972) in Congress in 1971.  There is just not enough room for me to explain to you the type of person Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., was.  He was forced out of Congress and then won the special election to fill the seat.  His third wife, Yvette Diago was on his congressional payroll from 1961 until 1967, paid over 20K per year, while living in Puerto Rico and performed no work at all.  There were numerous allegations of misappropriated funds concerning Powell’s time in office.

So Powell is replaced by Rangel who is now accused of being less than truthful about being truthful.  That is my way of being nice, while the politicians in Washington are now coming forth with nothing but praise for the years of service that Rangel has given and trying to give him cover.  You have to love this, there are only nine (9) Democrats who have come out and ask Rangel to resign.  In the meantime Speaker of the House Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi, keeps talking about draining the swamp and transparency.  Then she tries everything she can to give cover to Rangel by postponing the investigation into his corruption charges.

Why is it when you are caught with your hand in cookie jar and you are black, Hispanic, or a woman automatically out comes the race card or the sexist card?  Why can’t blacks, Hispanics and women learn from white men, and use the insanity plea. It is not my fault, I am mentally ill; I need rehab for all the Twinkies I was given as a child that has turned my mind into a sugary mush.

The reason that I say this is because when you use the Twinkie defense everyone knows that it is BS in the highest form, they laugh and go on.  It does not divide the country; it does not water down the term “racism” or “sexist” so that it starts to mean nothing.  Everything a group of people, or a person, is allowed to use race or sex as the reason that they got struck by stupid; it diminishes the true meaning when it is needed.

Are Rangel and Waters being targeted because they are black? NO, they are not being targeted at all, they are looking at prosecution because they were stupid enough to not live off the obscene amount of money they have been allowed to steal from the American taxpayer and got greedy and got caught wanting more.  Where were all these people that I need to come to my rescue when the IRS said that I owed over $100,00.00 in back taxes and came after me to pay it and get their money?  Why do Rangel and Waters get a pass and I, like millions of other American taxpayers, have to pay.

It is time to stop the spin and all the other lies that are being forced on us by Rangel, Waters, Pelosi, Congress in general, and all the talking heads that are out there telling us that it is really not lying and stealing when they do it and it is when I do it.  These people are not royalty, they are not privileged , and they do not have special dispensation from God or the Pope.

It is time to put your big girl panties on and deal with it, you need to step up and take your lumps just like I did and like all of us regular people have to do every day.  If you are found guilty you should be fined and serve the proper amount of time in jail for the crime.  Again, not because you are black or a black woman, it is because you are a crook.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

I have been asked numerous times why I call myself a RedNeck and why an Internet blog for and by RedNecks.  The most honest and simple answer is, because I am a Red Neck.  Not because of where I was born, not where I live now, but because of what I believe in as a way of life, the American way of life.

OK, I know that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer; I am just a typical RedNeck guy trying to get by in a world that has gone mad.  So I need someone to explain a few things to me, if they have the time and it is not too much of problem to explain it.

First, California is going broke because of the excessive retirement packages the state has been arm twisted into making with the unions and because of the excessive amount of money California has spent housing, feeding, and a long list of social services they have paid out for Illegal Aliens.  Not to mention the large amount of money the state has to pay for the criminal and gang element of Illegal Aliens.

Right now, today, as I write this, there are bus loads of union members on a road trip from California to Arizona to protest the legal Arizona Immigration Law.  What part of insane do you people not understand?  What part of Unions is in most part a criminal element unto themselves; unions have bankrupted a number of countries in Europe.   They have put a number of states on the brink of bankruptcy, and we continue to allow them to cheat, lie, and steal from the American people.

Now I just want to make sure that I have this right.  The unions have been proven for the most part to be a thug tactics criminal organization, they take money from workers that make $12.00 an hour so that the union bosses can fly in private jets and be driven around in limos and make large salaries.  They have driven a number of states to the brink of bankruptcy, they have bankrupt Europe, and now they want the American taxpayer to bail them out.  These are the same people that want to tell Arizona what to do.  Someone please tell me that this is not one of the dumbest things you have ever heard.

Side note real quick here, remember you heard it here first.  There is a bill gaining support in Congress for a new bail out for the unions.  WHAT, you have got to be kidding me, the unions have priced themselves out of the market, bankrupt companies, been sent to jail for being thieves, and now they want you the American taxpayer to bail out their bad decisions. In a word, YES!  Don’t you just love being taken advantage of and then being told to shut up and pay more money?

OK, back on subject, why do we allow people to come into our country illegally, take our money for free medical and social services, social services that are needed by Americans, and then allow them to take to the street and protest a legally passed State Law.  Have we just completely gone stupid?  OK, let me phrase that another way, JUST HOW STUPID DO I LOOK?

If you want to protest, go to your own country, you are a criminal for being here, come on, you knew there was a fence there, you knew you were not suppose to come into our country this way, you know that we do not want you here.  This is not about race, it is about you being a criminal and taking money and services that do not belong to you and you do not have a right to be in the streets to protest anything. 

The only reason you are here is because of the crooked politicians that want to try and make you a citizen so you can vote for the Democratic Party and get more free stuff so you can keep on voting for the Democratic Party.  America, What a Country!

Imagine this scenario, take your family and sneak into the country of Mexico , then you tell the Mexican government that you do not have any money, that you need medical attention, and while they are at it you want them to educate your children .  See how quick your sorry free loading butt is back across the border in Arizona.  Only after you have been stripped of all the money and any other worldly possessions you have is taken from you, now get your butt back to Arizona.

If you think I am joking, take a look at the Mexican immigration laws.  They do not play with you; if you are caught in their country illegally it is up to ten (10) years in jail.  The Mexican law is very straight forward, if you are not a Mexican citizen, you are banned from interfering in the country's internal politics.

If you want to know why we have an Illegal Alien problem, look to Mexico. Mexico wants its citizens to come to America, WHY?  Gee, I don’t know, could it be that Mexicans in America send over a BILLION DOLLARS per year BACK TO MEXICO.  The money sent back to Mexico by illegal aliens in America is their NUMBER ONE IMPORT.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

"Every country has the government it deserves.
– Joseph de Maistre, French jurist (1753–1827)."

If the above quote is true, we also deserve the Politicians we get, so we deserve the Clintons? OK, I get it, I know what you are saying; will all the problems that we as Americans are facing, talking about the obscene amount of money the Clintons are spending on Chelsea’s wedding is low on the totem pole.  Besides, what would you expect from the Redneck nouveau riche?  And if you think that Bill Clinton is not a RedNeck, then you have never followed his life and you have never been to Hope, Arkansas, besides just take a look at the pictures on the left.

You also have to consider the question, what would you expect from a Social Progressive Democrat?  You know the Clintons want social justice for all and that they want to redistribute the wealth in America. Oh, I forgot, they want all of that if it is your money, however, if it is the money they received from cashing in on the years of feeding on the public trough , then to hell with them, let them eat cake just not the cake that we are serving at Chelsea’s wedding.

 According to editor Millie Martini Bratten of Brides Magazine, speaking with Politics Daily, “the average American Wedding costs about $28,082.00.”  Boy did my wife get cheated, however, we had a beautiful wedding and I saved 28K off the national wedding price.  The current number that is being bantered about for the cost of Chelsea’s wedding is from 2 – 4 million dollars for some 500 guest. By the way, President Obama was not invited.

Now I know that you have heard spin before, I mean just look at the President, Vice President, Pelosi, and Reid on the road this summer talking about the jobs they have saved.  Keep jobs in mind with the spin from one democrat in Washington, "There are probably hundreds of people up in Rhinebeck, NY, from grass cutters to shop owners, who are getting a nice little paycheck out of this. Good for Bill and Hill." Now let me see, would it not mean more money for the locals if the President of the United States were to show up?

Guess that is why I am not a Democrat in Washington, I would have thought how many families that are out of work could we feed with this money.  I bet you could think of hundreds of ways that you would like to see that money spent to help someone that needs help in these very hard times.  You remember Goldman Sachs, sure you do, they are the company that gave back its bailout money so it wouldn’t have any executive compensation problems. The future “Mr. Chelsea Clinton" works as an executive for Goldman Sachs. How nice would it be for the Bride and Groom to donate the time and money that is being spent on their wedding and spend it serving a meal to families who have lost their jobs because of firms like Goldman Sachs?

 Before I go away and start getting ready for the next blog on illegal aliens or crooked politicians, I want to tell you what I really would like to see, I would like to see the return of politicians like Harry Truman.  Did you know that when Harry Truman left the White House after Ike took over; he put his wife Bess in the Chrysler New Yorker and set out for Missouri.

There was no Secret Service detail, he was not flown in Air Force One, he did not have a chauffeur to drive him, in fact he was pulled over by a policeman for driving too slowly in a passing lane.  As the president and the former president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.  Once Truman left the White House, his only income was his old army pension: $112.56 per month, there was no pension for being the “former president”.

This is something that all Presidents and former Presidents need to know and remember.  When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."  The Clintons have, more than any other former President and their families, cashed in on the office of President.  Just think, we have not seen the last of the Clintons, Hill just can’t wait until it is her turn. 

The Democrats would have been ahead had they read and listened to what I blogged back in 2008, if you elect a black man to the office of president just because he is black and not because he is qualified, you will make sure that it will be a hundred years before a black person has a chance at being president again.  The same is true with electing a woman just because she is a woman and not because she is qualified.  Obama has proven my first blog to be true, the Democrats push him because they felt America was ready for the first black President; the only problem was the first black President was not qualified for the job.

Taking all the spin out of the equation, this type of money for a wedding is ridiculous, even for Redneck nouveau riche?  Yes, it is their money and they have every right to be as stupid with it and how they spend it as they want, however, keep your mouth shut about my money and how you want to spend it. 

For over thirty years Slick Willie and Company, remember Hillary’s health care, and the numerous other social programs they passed or wanted passed, have wanted to spend money at the expense of the American Taxpayer.  It is the golden rule of the crooked Politian, do as I say, not as I do.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.

“If you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.”

John Wayne

There are days when I reflect on my childhood and watching that little square 14 inch black and white TV as John would swagger into the local salon, I really miss John Wayne; he was truly an American hero.  The quote above really leads into my blog today, we need to remember the truth of the quote and un-join hands and stop singing 1960 peace songs around the campfire.  We really do need to get these people by whatever body part that is required to make them understand that we are going to get their hearts and minds right.

I wonder how many Muslim’s know the following verse from their Qur’an.  I know how many Muslim’s do not understand and practice the verse.

Chapter 13, verse 11 of the Qur’an, “God does not change what is in a people until they change what is in themselves.”

Until now, I have stayed out of the debacle about the Muslim Mosque that is being purposed close to ground zero in New York City.  I wanted to see just how far the powers that be in New York State and New York City would allow politically correct (PC) forces to cloud their thinking and the political powers would bend over and be violated by Muslim extremist.  From what I have seen in the past few weeks, I have an answer to my question; these people have no shame and have allowed this debate to turn into a ludicrous failure.

I am not really sure where and when we, the American people, became so consumed with politically correctness (PC) that we were willing to give up everything that we hold true.  That we would continue to elect gutless, spineless, inept, self serving thieves to run our country.  Do not be fooled, this is not about freedom of religion, check every Muslim country in the world for freedom of religion; it does not exist anywhere in the Muslim world.  Not true freedom of religion, you need to understand, if you are not a Muslim you are considered to be an infidel.  If you do not convert to Islam you should be killed.

However, now the Muslim community in America wants to banter about the term “FREEDOM OF RELIGION” when it helps their cause.  The group that is supporting the Mosque is a Muslim group that supports Sharia Law and wants to see Sharia Law applied in America.  I wrote a blog on June, 25^th about Sharia Law entitled “SHARIA LAW, A PROBLEM YOU CAN'T IGNORE!!!” and can be found on this site at http://www.aredneckblog.com/blog.php?user=RedNeck¬e=4291 you should read this blog to understand the dangers of Sharia Law and how it will affect America.  You should also read the negative affect it is having on European countries and the problem they are having getting rid of the Muslim law after it has been approved.

Again, this is NOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF RELIGION, it is about the fact that Muslim Extremist want to be able to take the laws of this country and turn them to mean what they want so that it fits their cause. They are using the excuse that this is a cultural center for all people and is a healing place for all.  This is why they named it Cordoba, while Cordoba, Spain, the capital of Muslim conquerors, the capital of Muslim Al-Andalus, was known as a cultural center after the 717 conquest, it was during these wars between Christians and Muslims that Jewish courtiers were valued as diplomats, translators, and advisors to both sides.

The name Cordoba is just another slap in the face to Americans, especially those that lost friends and love ones among the 3,497 that died in the attack of 911. You keep hearing the term “Moderate Muslims”, I am sorry, I am still looking for a Moderate Muslim, have not found one yet.  A Muslim that will stand up and denounce the terror that is being inflicted on people around the world, the hate speech, the suicide bombers, would be killed.  The reason you are not finding Moderate Muslims is because they are afraid to speak out, they are afraid to take a stand, afraid they will be killed just like the thousands before them.

Remember the quote from John Wayne at the start of this blog, this is the only thing that will work.  It has worked for thousands of years, why do you think there has been no major uprising by Radical Muslims until just the past fifty years?  Muslims as well as everyone else knew that we would not allow this type of thug behavior and sit idlely by and do nothing.  We need to get the minds and hearts of Radical Muslims right, we need to make them understand that we do not accept rude behavior from our children and we for damn sure will not accept it from them.

Now what can you do about this rude behavior?  The first thing is to write and call all of the worthless politicians that we have allowed to feed off the public for years and remind them that they are begging for us to recharge their credit card again so that they can continue to eat off the public.  Inform them that you will not be voting for any incumbent this year because of the broken promises they have made.  Then call and write their opponent that you are considering voting for, asks them where do they stand on this issue and include a copy of the letter that you sent to the incumbent you will not be voting for.

Remember, this is not about freedom of religion; it is about sticking your face in the crap that they have been allowed to get away with for the past fifty years.  PC my Aunt Fannies tutu, these people are a bunch of thug bullies that think that because we have elected gutless, spineless, inept, self serving thieves to run our country and turn it into a PC paradise, and because those gutless, spineless, inept, self serving thieves have allowed a group of Radical Muslims to get away with bad behavior, we will allow any of it to continue.  It is time for all of these people to pack up their crap and take it to another country, politicians and Muslims alike, see how this will work for you in, I don’t know, in Pakistan.

Of course, these observations are just one RedNeck’s opinion.
