&lt;H2&gt;Time To Hand Out Pink Slips&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;Watch This:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV84OBtGpSQ"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV84OBtGpSQ&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV84OBtGpSQ"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV84OBtGpSQ" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;My fellow Patriot Americans,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;I have for years been saying that we need too and must wake up and take our country and government back before it is too late.&amp;nbsp; Sadly as I write this that call seems so ever more urgent.&amp;nbsp; Things have passed and are in the process of attempting to pass that could forever change the face of our country.&amp;nbsp; Not a good change for the Americans who believe in the constitution and the freedom it is suppose to bring to us.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;I am sure most of you have seen the advertisements on TV for The Girls Gone Wild Video.&amp;nbsp; Someone should make a "The&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;Representatives &lt;/STRONG&gt;Gone Wild" video.&amp;nbsp; Most of them are doing anything but representing us, their bosses.&amp;nbsp; Yes they do work for us, not that you could tell by the way they ignore our will and the way they talk about us when we dare stand up and express our will.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;One of the first things we should do is join together and make sure something is put in effect to protect the Internet and access to it by Americans at a reasonable cost.&amp;nbsp; Aside from the 2nd Amendment and our Right To Bear Arms, nothing may be more important in our fight and struggle to keep our freedom and our country as our founders intended.&amp;nbsp; I think most would agree that the right to access to the Internet is something we should demand and expect.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;I am sure that the people in DC who are trying to ram bills down our throats that no one has read including the people voting for them wishes right now that Al Gore hadn't of invented the Internet.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;That aside this isn't about Democrats, this isn't about Republicans, it isn't about parties.&amp;nbsp; It is about principal and what this country was founded on.&amp;nbsp; both parties are more concerned about being or staying in power then they are about doing the right thing for the country.&amp;nbsp; We must put our ego aside and realize that there is very little difference in the two main political parties today.&amp;nbsp; The biggest difference is the way they spell their name.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;It is time for a 3rd Main Party and maybe even a 4th.&amp;nbsp; There is a reason that it is so difficult for another party to form and get traction.&amp;nbsp; The two main parties have passed laws to make it so.&amp;nbsp; Why?&amp;nbsp; To make it easier for them to stay in power.&amp;nbsp; There are numerous Third Parties in this country but we Americans really need a 3rd and maybe 4th party that can and will compete with the two parties in power.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;I don't have the means, knowledge or know how to do something like this.&amp;nbsp; But together we can and will have those means.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;Remember in the fall of 2008 when the earth was going to stop spinning and the sun was going to stop shinning if they didn't pass the first bailout RIGHT NOW?&amp;nbsp; Remember how it didn't pass for a few days and during those days the earth was still turning and the sun was still shinning?&amp;nbsp; That was a mistake in passing and so is this other stuff that HAS to be passed right now.&amp;nbsp; It is SO urgent there is no time to even read the bill or give the American people time to read the bill.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;One of the saddest things about this is that the burden these white haired men and women (yes they dye their hair) have passed on to our Children and Grand Children, a lot of these people will be dead and buried BEFORE our Children are old enough to even vote.&amp;nbsp; Yet these Children are still saddled with this debt given to them by people who won't be around to see them struggle with it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;It IS about our Children and our Grand Children and our Great Grand Children.&amp;nbsp; We must stand up for them.&amp;nbsp; We must unite for them, and we must protect their freedom that so many in DC is trying to take away from them.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;We stand up to them and ask them questions and they (the elite) call us an angry mob.&amp;nbsp; The people in DC don't care what we think or what we want.&amp;nbsp; If they did then they would listen to us and stop this insanity they are doing in DC.&amp;nbsp; They have forgotten and the ones who haven't don't care who they are working for.&amp;nbsp; If we had an employee that wouldn't listen to how we wanted them to do their job that we gave them, we would fire them&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;It is time we start doing some firing while we are still able to do so.&amp;nbsp; In time if we wait too long, we won't be able to fire anyone, or say no to anything they may deem would be best for us.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description><category>The Future</category><comments>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2009/08/06/time-to-hand-out-pink-slips.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">f601a6ce-d8df-4c94-8960-93eacfd6d076</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:30:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Do Democrats Really Want To Share Credit With Republicans On Good Ideas?</title><link>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2009/02/06/do-democrats-really-want-to-share-credit-with-republicans-on-good-ideas.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Gideon Henry</dc:creator><description>&lt;H2&gt;Do Democrats Really Want To Share Credit With Republicans On Good Ideas?&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;OD&gt;&lt;OD&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;What is your honest answer to this question?&amp;nbsp; The Democrats don't need any help from Republicans in the House to get anything passed.&amp;nbsp; The Democrats in the Senate don't need any help from the Republicans to get a big majority of the votes.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The facts are that the Democrats have all the votes they need to pass ANY bill they want to pass.&amp;nbsp; After it is passed they have a Democrat President to sign that bill.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;WHY then are Democrats working so hard to attempt to get Republicans on board?&amp;nbsp; They want their ideas.&amp;nbsp; Hardly?&amp;nbsp; Did Ms. Pelosi give the Republicans any chance to put their ideas into the bill?&amp;nbsp; You know the answer to that.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So if this Pork Package is such a good bill and will work so good, then why worry about getting Republicans on board?&amp;nbsp; Is it because the Democrats want to make sure the Republicans also get credit for this great bill?&amp;nbsp; You know the answer to that too.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Democrats are afraid and aren't confident that this Pork Package will work.&amp;nbsp; They want Republicans on board so if it doesn't work they will be able to say it wasn't only them.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The facts are this.&amp;nbsp; If a few Republicans come on board and this Pork Package is a success the Republicans won't get credit for it.&amp;nbsp; If it isn't a success then they will get the blame for it.&amp;nbsp; So if a bad idea won't get you credit if it turns out good, then why put yourself up to take part of the blame?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It is time for Conservative Republicans to take a stand and it is time for Pretend Republicans like Arlan Specter and Ms. Collins to change parties or take a hike because they are Republicans in name ONLY.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/OD&gt;&lt;/OD&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;Use a little common sense.&amp;nbsp; The Democrats DON'T need Republicans to get bills passed.&amp;nbsp; Then WHY if their ideas and bill is so good are they trying so hard to get Republicans on board?&amp;nbsp; It is for cover.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;How smart are the Real Conservative Republicans?&amp;nbsp; I guess we will find out.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/:OD&gt;&lt;/:OD&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><category>Think About This</category><comments>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2009/02/06/do-democrats-really-want-to-share-credit-with-republicans-on-good-ideas.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">a9f27d60-a6b5-479a-ad26-0f0a3a9ab2d4</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:54:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Do Republicans Really Want To Be In Power?</title><link>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2009/02/06/do-republicans-really-want-to-be-in-power.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Gideon Henry</dc:creator><description>&lt;H2&gt;Do Republicans Really Want To Be In Power?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;OD&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;What kind of question is this you may ask?&amp;nbsp; The problem was that they wanted to stay in power so bad that they stopped governing the way they were elected to govern.&amp;nbsp; They weren't thrown out of office because they governed with conservative values BUT because they didn't govern with those values.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It appeared that the republicans were more concerned about getting along and going along with democrats then to govern with the values that got them elected in the first place.&amp;nbsp; Now they want to change things yet the leadership is the same.&amp;nbsp; When the conservative republicans truly want to be back in power, then they will change their leadership.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Maybe then we can believe them when they say they learned their lesson and will govern with the conservative values they had campaigned on.&amp;nbsp; If conservative republicans want to regain power then they need to be conservative and not compromise those values to gain favor with the press or democrats.&amp;nbsp; Those groups don't want them in power anyway.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;At least the House Republicans stood up for conservative values and the people when&amp;nbsp; everyone of them voted against the Pork Package Obama and Pelosi is trying to force down everyone's throats.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now the Senate is trying to come to an agreement on the Pork Package.&amp;nbsp; Two so called Republicans have come on board.&amp;nbsp; Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter.&amp;nbsp; I believe Mr. Specter will be up for re-election soon.&amp;nbsp; The last time he had a tough battle to get his parties nomination.&amp;nbsp; Getting on board with this Pock Package may very well cost him his parties nomination.&amp;nbsp; I for one will not forget this.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Remember last fall when the TARP bill HAD to be passed.&amp;nbsp; When it finally passed look what has happened.&amp;nbsp; NOW this one really has to pass.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If Republicans really want to be in power again then they need to stand together and oppose this pork package.&amp;nbsp; This won't work and will only makes things worse.&amp;nbsp; Why put your name on it?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/OD&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><category>Where they are wrong</category><comments>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2009/02/06/do-republicans-really-want-to-be-in-power.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ba12acbb-90ed-4eb1-b750-fda71a819f25</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:18:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Congratulations President-Elect Obama</title><link>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2008/11/05/congratulations-presidentelect-obama.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Gideon Henry</dc:creator><description>&lt;H1&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=5&gt;The Truth Has Been Shown&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;It is less then 24 hours before the election of 2008 will take place.&amp;nbsp; If you love this country and if you love the freedom you have in this country, you may want to read this.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Everyone is caught up in this election and it's importance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So many have picked sides and there is no changing their minds.&amp;nbsp; It is time for change and nothing less is acceptable.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Let us just for a while try to use a little common sense and actually think for a few minutes on our own, without being influenced by the media and such that are in the tank for a candidate.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;First, &amp;nbsp;Change just for the sake of change is not always the best thing to happen.&amp;nbsp; Remember this.&amp;nbsp; Now remember Joe The Plumber.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Barack Obama always talks the words of helping the middle class and lower then middle class people.&amp;nbsp; Obama says the words about helping these people each and every day, many times a day.&amp;nbsp; Just Words?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here is where the common sense comes in.&amp;nbsp; Obama speaks these words, but remember the saying "actions speak louder then words"?&amp;nbsp; What actions did Obama take with Joe The Plumber?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Barack Obama came to Joe The Plumber's neighborhood and his house as he was canvassing the neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; All Joe The Plumber did was ask Obama a question and followed up on Obama's answer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This issue that came around because of Joe The Plumber's question had nothing to do with Joe The Plumber and everything to do with Barack Obama's answer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Yet Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the people that speak for them attempted to make it about Joe The Plumber.&amp;nbsp; They made fun of him and tried to demean him.&amp;nbsp; Supporters of Obama have even run back ground checks on Joe The Plumber.&amp;nbsp; And Barack Obama ALLOWED it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It wouldn't matter if Joe The Plumber was an ax murderer, that isn't the issue.&amp;nbsp; Yet Obama and his&amp;nbsp;crew are and have tried to make that the issue.&amp;nbsp; Trying to discredit Joe The Plumber.&amp;nbsp; Yet all Joe did was ask a question in his neighborhood that Obama was visiting.&amp;nbsp; That is all he did.&amp;nbsp; The ISSUE was the ANSWER, or at least should have been.&amp;nbsp; Yet Obama and his supporters wanted to make Joe The Plumber the issue.&amp;nbsp; WHY?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So using common sense if Barack Obama will go after and ALLOW his people to go after a common middle class person that ONLY asked a question, then what will he do TO you?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The FACTS ARE Obama and his machine went after a TRUE middle class citizen that ONLY asked a question.&amp;nbsp; Is this the SAME Obama that will stand and fight for the middle class?&amp;nbsp; Is this the SAME Obama that will help the middle class.&amp;nbsp; Would you want the help he tried to give Joe The Plumber?&amp;nbsp; A true member of the middle class that has dreams of doing better.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Obama is a socialist and maybe worse.&amp;nbsp; Don't get so caught up in the words calling for change that you don't hear what he is really saying and not saying.&amp;nbsp; Use some common sense then just think for a minute what Obama and his machine did to a simple middle class person that only asked a question from his neighborhood that Obama was visiting.&amp;nbsp; Obama came to him, and after Obama's true thoughts came out in his answer, Obama and his machine attempted to destroy the middle class American citizen that only asked a question.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;That is a fact and that IS an action, not just words.&amp;nbsp; Obama proved and showed what he would do to anyone that gets in his way.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;All I can say is BEWARE and THINK before it is too late.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Remember Partial Birth and Remember Birth Certificate.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp; And remember what Patrick Henry said;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;FONT color=#009b9b&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia&gt;Socialist America - How Close Are We??&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Socialist Democrats can now welcome the Socialist Republican to their ranks.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In 2006 I told people if the Republicans give you headaches by not governing under the principals that they ran for office, then vote Democrat.&amp;nbsp; They might not govern the may you would like but at least you wouldn't be surprised.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Is it a coincidence that the economy had tanked in the last&amp;nbsp; 20 months or so?&amp;nbsp; I don't believe in coincidences.&amp;nbsp; There is always a reason.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I have warned people over and over again that there is more then what is obvious to even the blindest of us.&amp;nbsp; (Is that a word?)&amp;nbsp; I have warned that we need to act while we still are able to make our voices heard.&amp;nbsp; I have warned that in time if we do nothing or ignore being ignored that it time we wouldn't be able to do anything.&amp;nbsp; That time may be closer then any of us think.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Always remember that there is MORE to it then what you can see.&amp;nbsp; Always remember people in power uses fear to keep power and to obtain more power.&amp;nbsp; Always remember the people in power want us at each others throats so we aren't paying attention to them.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Always remember that a good puppet master you will never see.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We made our desires known to congress with this bail out.&amp;nbsp; After the 777 dow drop all they talked about was the large loss.&amp;nbsp; No mention was made of the big gain the next day.&amp;nbsp; Only the big loss.&amp;nbsp; One representative stated that the opposition to the bail out went from 30 to 1 against to 10 to 1 against.&amp;nbsp; Acting like that was a sign he should support the bail out.&amp;nbsp; The fact is it was STILL 10 to 1 against the bail out.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Senate and the House of Representatives decided they knew best what the&amp;nbsp; American people needed.&amp;nbsp; One made the statement they had to do what was best for us even if we didn't want or like it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now since Both houses of congress has refused to listen to our desires and passed this bill, even though all they could say was: "we hope it will work", "we don't know if it will work", "maybe it will work", "it may stop the bleeding, but we will have to do more", "it could work", "it might work", "if we do nothing it will only get worse", "action has too be taken now", blah, blah, blah.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE!!!!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;They talked about the over 1,000,000,000,000 loss with the 777 dow drop but said nothing about the big rebound the next day.&amp;nbsp; But now it is over 2,000,000,000,000 losses and counting.&amp;nbsp; Now where are our so called Representatives.&amp;nbsp; If over $1,000,000,000,000 in losses was such a crisis that had to be taken care of then why isn't over $2,000,000,000,000 in losses even a bigger crisis?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now the government is buying stock in banks?&amp;nbsp; When will they take over McDonald's other businesses the government wants to have their finger in?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Socialism is not good.&amp;nbsp; You have Socialist Democratic Leaders of Congress and now it appears you have Socialist Republican Leaders of Congress.&amp;nbsp; Pelosi and Reid DOESN'T speak for the majority of Americans.&amp;nbsp; For God's Sake she represents San Francisco and he is from a state that ranks 35th in population and is famous for gambling and hookers.&amp;nbsp; Don't get offended Nevada that is the truth.&amp;nbsp; Vegas is a great place to visit but ask 100, or 1,000 or 1,000,000,000,000 what is Nevada known for and see how many answers you get of Legal Gambling or Vegas&amp;nbsp;and Prostitution.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;These are the two people leading the congress?&amp;nbsp; Give me a break.&amp;nbsp; Democrats need to take their party back and put people in power with common sense.&amp;nbsp; But no you have the leaders mentions plus other so called Representatives like Give me a mortgage, C&amp;nbsp;Dodd and&amp;nbsp; nothing is wrong with fannie or freddy, B&amp;nbsp;Frank.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Remember a time when both parties seemed to be working for the good of the country instead of the good of their own personal pocketbooks?&amp;nbsp; The leaders need to go.&amp;nbsp; We need fresh blood on both sides.&amp;nbsp; People who WANT to represent the people not the money.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you have read me you know I don't care for Juan McCain.&amp;nbsp; But I care less for a Pelosi - Reid led congress with a president called Obama.&amp;nbsp; If you are thinking what is happening right now seems or is socialist just wait.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What we as Americans that love our freedom and rights need to do is to concentrate on the House of Representatives and Senate.&amp;nbsp; We need to put people in that at least says they will stop some of this.&amp;nbsp; If this doesn't happen how can you as Americans have any hope of stopping the Socialist Express that is coming around the bend??&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If we don't stop barking at each other and realize our attention should be focused on the Socialists (both parties) raiding our tax dollars then many that have never prayed to God may find themselves doing so when our rights and freedoms continue to disappear.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Wake up America, Wake up Patriots, Wake up Free People, the Socialists are coming, the Socialists are coming.&amp;nbsp; Make lite of it but think, get your ego out of the way and think.&amp;nbsp; If we are going to remain free we must work together.&amp;nbsp; If we don't we will suffer together.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sometimes maybe we should go back and read what some of our founding fathers said.&amp;nbsp; We can STILL listen and learn from them.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;21 "And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue. &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;Revelation 13&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;1 And he stood on the sand of the seashore. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;3 &lt;FONT size=5&gt;And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT size=3&gt;(can we say New Hampshire healed the wound of Iowa?)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4 and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?" &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=5&gt;If I offended anyone with this I guess I could say I am sorry, but I won't.&amp;nbsp; I too am offended.&amp;nbsp; I am offended that John (Juan) McCain is attempting to Steal the conservative mantel.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Garamond size=5&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;Remember when he told Mitt Romney he could spend all of his fortune but it wouldn't make what he was saying the truth?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma size=5&gt;The same goes for John McCain.&amp;nbsp; He can run ads and more ads.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia&gt;How Good Is Your Memory?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Doesn't it seem like there is always SOME type of Crisis that we need to deal with.&amp;nbsp; Or should I say that the government will have to deal with.&amp;nbsp; Some of the ways government remains and gains power is by presenting fear to the general population.&amp;nbsp; Fear about something that ONLY the government will be able to handle in the proper way.&amp;nbsp; This will be the first in a series of articles about Crisis.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET YOU FREE!&lt;BR&gt;It IS ALL about the power.&amp;nbsp; There is no such thing as coincidence.&amp;nbsp; Very FEW will step in front of another to stop a bullet.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;Those who drink from the&amp;nbsp;grapes of power have trouble saying NO to one more glass of wine.&amp;nbsp; You have freedom as long as you do what the government says you should do.&amp;nbsp; Is that the freedom our founding fathers envisioned?&lt;BR&gt;Government gains more power and is questioned less when fear and safety is brought into the picture.&amp;nbsp; Once people have tasted power, they don't want to give up that taste.&amp;nbsp; After tasting the grapes of power for too long, people start believing that it is THEIR right to continue to taste that wine.&amp;nbsp; Not their honor, their right.&amp;nbsp; When they get to that mindset, their actions are more about keeping themselves in power then doing what is best and right for the people.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;od&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The Crisis of the War on Terror!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;I will deal with many crisis but the first one, let it be the so called War On Terror!&amp;nbsp; What has that war brought to this country?&amp;nbsp; I guess I could say thank goodness we invaded Iraq, can you image how high gas prices would have been by now if we had stayed in our own country?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What the war on terror has brought us.&amp;nbsp; We have to wear socks now that are clean and no holes if we are going to fly.&amp;nbsp; We don't actually have to, but it could be embarrassing.&amp;nbsp; Depending on the mood of the people in charge we may or may not be able to take shampoo, toothpaste, nail cllppers etc. with us on our flight.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The War on Terror have gotten a great word ,PATRIOT, &amp;nbsp;hijacked by congress in passing laws that take our rights away.&amp;nbsp; By calling it the Patriot Act they attempt to make it so that anyone that would oppose it would BE, UNPATRIOTIC.&amp;nbsp; A good way to keep people in check and quite.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As soon as this act or parts of it are due to expire, then we hear how much MORE in danger we will be if it isn't renewed.&amp;nbsp; But in truth what&amp;nbsp;is in more danger is OUR rights as AMERICANS.&amp;nbsp; The very people who would and who have killed our people.&amp;nbsp; The very people who would take our freedoms away from us have had to do nothing more then fly the planes into the buildings.&amp;nbsp; Our elected representatives have done the rest as far as taking some of our rights and freedoms away from us.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If Bin Laden was so important in this War of Terror, then why did we not continue with him until we found him?&amp;nbsp; Could it be because he would be more valuable to the people in power alive and free then dead or captured?&amp;nbsp; Why go into Iraq before the job with Bin Laden was finished?&amp;nbsp; Wouldn't there have been time after that job was finished to then go after Iraq?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Do you remember why we went into Iraq?&amp;nbsp; Weapons of Mass Destruction.&amp;nbsp; WMD's.&amp;nbsp; Now after none were found I REMEMBER the people in power saying there were more reasons then JUST WMD's for going into Iraq.&amp;nbsp; The trouble with that is that I ALSO REMEMBER Colin Powell going to the United Nations outlining the reason for going into Iraq.&amp;nbsp; WMD's was the reason.&amp;nbsp; Once they didn't find WMD's they changed their story or reasons.&amp;nbsp; The ONLY problem with that is that I REMEMBER Powell's talk at the United Nations.&amp;nbsp; Some of this stuff would be so much easier to believe if my memory wasn't so good.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So once no WMD's were found and Saddam was pulled out of the Rat Hole I had a simple solution to the problem.&amp;nbsp; Put him back in power.&amp;nbsp; Don't you think he would have played ball with us?&amp;nbsp; Let&amp;nbsp;HIM get his country back into control and remember we dug you out of a rat hole, we can do it again.&amp;nbsp; But no that would have been too simple.&amp;nbsp; Instead it was very important to make sure he was dead.&amp;nbsp; What was such the rush?&amp;nbsp; As far as that goes what was such the rush of killing the Oklahoma City&amp;nbsp; Bomber?&amp;nbsp; Both people still had much information, so why such the rush to close the lips of that information?&amp;nbsp; Remember there are no coincidences.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The war on terror has been a very high cost of blood and treasure.&amp;nbsp; The dems like to use that wording a lot.&amp;nbsp; But billions and billions of dollars have been sent to a country we invaded.&amp;nbsp; Thousands of our young people have lost their life's, and many more thousands have lost body parts.&amp;nbsp; Remember Viet Nam?&amp;nbsp; I do and back then you had old men and some not so old playing with the lives of young American boys sending them to fight a war that was NEVER declared.&amp;nbsp; Have we actually declared war on Iraq???&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;NOW the difference is that we have old men and some not so old, and old women and some not so old, playing with the lives of our young American boys and girls in a war (was it ever declared?).&amp;nbsp; So I guess the BIG question I HAVE to ask about the War On Terror is this.&amp;nbsp; If the War on Terror is SO important, and if the main reason is too keep our country and people safe, then WHY after 6 1/2 years since 911 are our borders STILL SO OPEN!!!!!!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;IF IT IS about keeping our people safe and our country safe, wouldn't one of the first things you do is make SURE it is difficult for people to enter our country without us knowing about it???&amp;nbsp; It just makes common sense to me that closing our borders would be one of the FIRST things we should do.&amp;nbsp; I would think that most of our young people would rather be protecting our borders from invasion then being the invaders.&amp;nbsp; If the terrorists can't get here, then won't it be harder for them to hurt us?&amp;nbsp; If our young people are going to have to serve in a desert wouldn't most rather be closer to home?&amp;nbsp; At least this way maybe they could get home more to see their families and be serving in a safer place.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The problem is NOT our young people serving.&amp;nbsp; They will protect us, they have already given so much.&amp;nbsp; The problem is not with them.&amp;nbsp; The problem is with the people in power on BOTH sides , that are playing with their lives.&amp;nbsp; Making them serve tour after tour of duty.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The Crisis Of The War On Terror!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;If it is such a big deal then &lt;STRONG&gt;WHY &lt;/STRONG&gt;aren't our borders closed?&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;WHY?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/STRONG&gt;You can't say we haven't had enough time to close them.&amp;nbsp; We have had over six years.&amp;nbsp; If our safety and the safety of our country is so important to take away people's rights and freedoms (such as the Patriot Act), then &lt;STRONG&gt;WHY &lt;/STRONG&gt;isn't it important enough to seal our borders???&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;How can it be a crisis, how can it be a war on terror, when one of the most important things to do to assure our safety ISN'T done?&amp;nbsp; Is it as much a War On Terror or is it more a War On The Rights Of Americans?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/od&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><category>How Good Is Your Memory</category><comments>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2008/03/04/the-crisis-of-the-crisis.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">2c650c4f-1e4f-4786-adf0-3485f6d59496</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:36:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>America's Biggest Homegrown Terror Cell</title><link>http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2008/02/27/americas-biggest-homegrown-terror-cell.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Gideon Henry</dc:creator><description>&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=5&gt;America's Biggest Homegrown Terror Cell&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;People in Washington are always talking about the war on terror.&amp;nbsp;

Bush endorsing John McCain.&amp;nbsp; Many talking about how this should help win over the conservative members of the party that have been objecting to McCain.&amp;nbsp; Of course the many making such statements would have liberal leanings if the truth was known.&amp;nbsp; Since he was Vice-President under President Reagan for eight years, then the endorsement would surely win them over.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;With that reasoning the conservatives must really be dumb.&amp;nbsp; Or is it the liberal pundits?&amp;nbsp; Let's examine why like John McCain, George H.W.

Once president, however, Bush agreed to raise several taxes as part of a 1990 budget agreement. This has been attributed to a declining economy, ballooning budget deficits, and the need to compromise with the Democrat-controlled Congress. This reversal caused great controversy, especially in the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. "&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;Excerpted from an essay by &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/bios/beschloss.html"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia&gt;Michael R.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;At the Republican Convention in Detroit, Ronald Reagan worried about the depth of Bush's convictions. At first he resisted advice to choose for Vice President the man who had gotten the second most votes in the primaries. He privately disparaged Bush's ability to "stand up to the pressure of being President": "I'm concerned about turning the country over to him." But after former &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/glossaries/bush.html#ford"&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;President Ford withdrew his name&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt; from consideration, Reagan swallowed his doubts, made the call, and asked Bush whether he could support the party platform, the most conservative in forty years. &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;This was no small question. During the primaries, Bush had derided Reagan's hallmark pledge to cut taxes while hugely increasing the defense budget as "voodoo economics." He had supported abortion rights. But, willing to pay the price for political rebirth, Bush immediately told Reagan that he could support the platform "wholeheartedly." ..... &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Bush's eight years as Reagan's number two were made miserable by his ostentatious effort to convince what he privately called the "extra-chromosome" conservatives that he was not some kind of closet one-world liberal. Bush's vice-presidential predecessor, Walter Mondale, had warned him after the 1980 election that "a President does not want and the public does not respect a Vice President who does nothing but deliver fulsome praise of a President." .... &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;But Bush now felt his only chance for President in 1988 lay in winning over Reagan and his increasingly dominant wing of the party. On the simple level of private character, he showed admirable loyalty. More than any other vice president of the post-war era, Bush refused to allow sunlight between himself and his President. He eschewed background interviews with reporters designed to make himself look good at the boss's expense and used all public opportunities to demonstrate himself as a Reaganite, at one moment incautiously saying, "I'm for Mr. Reagan, blindly!" He defended himself by saying that in his family, loyalty was "not considered a character flaw." &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;It was the unrelenting ardor of that loyalty, from a Vice President who had once so disagreed with the Reaganites, that critics considered a character flaw. ....... &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;During the (1988) campaign, Bush had encouraged the impression that his first years in office might be tantamount to Reagan's third term, with many Reagan appointees held over and the former President perhaps flown in from California from time to time as a kind of political godfather. That did not happen. Few high officials survived from the era of Reagan into that of Bush. During the Bush presidency, the forty-first President, who still held the hearts of most Republicans and to whom Bush owed his office, appeared in the White House exactly twice. Many conservatives suspected that by thumbing his nose at Reaganism, the new President, intoxicated by victory, was paying them back for all the years of humiliations while courting the right. &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;If they were correct, Bush was showing dangerous hubris and self-indulgence. The Republican Party, if anything, was growing more conservative than ever. If Bush did not wish to expend the effort to try moving his party to the center, as Eisenhower had attempted and failed to do, it would have been more sensible for the President to show that he understood the balance of forces within his party. But, buoyed by his high approval ratings, Bush gave signs of allowing himself to believe that he was unsinkable.

They were 18 - 0.&amp;nbsp; No losses and they were destined to be the champions, to win everything.&amp;nbsp; They were going against the New York Giants.&amp;nbsp; The Giants for a long time in their season were struggling just to finish above .500 for the season.&amp;nbsp; The last game of the season before the playoffs the Giants were defeated by the Patriots.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Listening to almost everyone the Giants should have just stayed home.&amp;nbsp; Think about the carbon imprint they would have saved.&amp;nbsp; When the game was over the Patriots had been defeated.&amp;nbsp; The underdog Giants WON!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you thought about the Republican Nomination Process as a football game it would be about 5 1/2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.&amp;nbsp; There are 15 minutes in a quarter and 4 quarters in a game.&amp;nbsp; With that being said the Huckabee team is down by a big score.&amp;nbsp; But there is STILL enough time in the game to try and win it.&amp;nbsp; You can't win it by holding your head down thinking there is no way to win this game.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It is time for a few hail mary passes, a few hawg wild plays.&amp;nbsp; An appropriate play since Huckabee is from Arkansas.&amp;nbsp; A Hawg Wild Formation was run by the University Of Arkansas football team the past two seasons.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;How&amp;nbsp;To Stop Or Slow Down The Media McCain Train:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/95363-88060/McCainandHillary.jpg" width=125 border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I suggested this in a earlier article before Romney suspended his race.&amp;nbsp; It would have worked for Romney because he has the money and that isn't a issue.&amp;nbsp; What I suggested was that Mitt Romney announce who his Vice President running mate would be.&amp;nbsp; I suggested that he try to bring someone on board like Newt Gingrich.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A person like Newt Gingrich (if Romney could have talked him into coming on board) would have gotten the media buzz.&amp;nbsp; Also what better person to help with how to battle the democrats and come up with a plan to submit to the voters?&amp;nbsp; A plan does need to be laid out, not only for the Presidential race but also for the congressional races.&amp;nbsp; As I stated in a article the other day, the senate and congressional races are the most important races.&amp;nbsp; With them you can get people in to stop&amp;nbsp; or slow down the liberal agenda.&amp;nbsp; I heard Rush Limbaugh picking up on that today.&amp;nbsp; He too was saying what I had put in an earlier article about how important the congress could be in all of this.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Since Mitt Romney has only suspended his race and has kept control of his delegates, I assume that he could change his mind and get back in if something odd happened.&amp;nbsp; So what could make something odd happen?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There are STILL 3 people in the Republican Presidential Race.&amp;nbsp; Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul and that guy from Arizona.&amp;nbsp; As I stated in another article&amp;nbsp; John McCain always looked like he thought Ron Paul was crazy when Dr. Paul would comment on certain things.&amp;nbsp; But after&amp;nbsp; watching John McCain's expression when Dr. Paul asked him a question about the economy, and after listening to him stumble to try and come up with an answer, I may be wrong.&amp;nbsp; It may be as simple as John McCain had the funny looks because he simply doesn't understand the issues of the economy, which was shown by Ron Paul's question to him.&amp;nbsp; If you want to see it go here:&lt;/OD&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ1OB2iLxcY" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#b33939&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=3&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v&lt;WBR&gt;=rJ1OB2iLxcY&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Mike Huckabee could still announce who he would choose for Vice President.&amp;nbsp; Then he could put that person out on the trail.&amp;nbsp; A person like Newt Gingrich would get the press and also get people excited and help bring money in.&amp;nbsp; If he couldn't get Newt to come on board he could still come up with someone else that could strengthen him and get the press.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Georgia size=3&gt;It would also FORCE all of the other candidates to do the same (democrats also).&amp;nbsp; Today McCain was asked about Vice President and he didn't answer the question, he said it was too early.&amp;nbsp; Why is it too early?&amp;nbsp; I know you would want to save that for press later, but WHY NOT NOW?&amp;nbsp; It is important everyone knows and if it is so certain McCain has this nomination then why not?&amp;nbsp; Of course if McCain made the wrong pick it might slow his train and if Huckabee made the right one it might speed up his train.&amp;nbsp; Same thing for Clinton or Obama.&amp;nbsp; But why not force the issue and make everyone lay that card on the table?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If Huckabee would do this and could get the right person on board it could really shake things up.&amp;nbsp; People are looking for something to excite them.&amp;nbsp; This would be one of those plays in the football game that if it was successful it could change the momentum of the game.&amp;nbsp; The score of the game is such that it is time to put in the Hawg Wild Formation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;People want to make fun of Ron Paul, most of the ones that do so don't understand what he is saying.&amp;nbsp; It is so foreign to what they are use to hearing that it sounds very strange to them.&amp;nbsp; IF these people who want to make fun of Ron Paul would do their work, and research some of the issues he brings up, they might then understand what he is really saying.&amp;nbsp; They might then also understand why his supporters are so passionate about Dr. Ron Paul.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The big three conservative radio talk show hosts tried to destroy Huckabee's campaign when they were trying to push Romney to the top.&amp;nbsp; They all three really have a problem with McCain.&amp;nbsp; They still have a problem with him.&amp;nbsp; Here is another play that could change the game.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Let some of these big radio hosts come on board and push Ron Paul.&amp;nbsp; One reason Ron Paul isn't being&amp;nbsp; taken seriously is because he is either left out of a debate or overlooked mostly when he is allowed in one.&amp;nbsp; Since there is ONLY 3 left if some would get behind him imagine the press.&amp;nbsp; There is a reason people who like Ron Paul work so hard for him.&amp;nbsp; If you want to stop McCain and don't want to get behind Huckabee then get behind Ron Paul.&amp;nbsp; At least enough to get him attention so people will be able to really understand where he stands.&amp;nbsp; A lot of what Ron Paul says people don't like hearing.&amp;nbsp; But for our country's sake the people need to hear it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Remember how the name Huckabee sounded kind of funny?&amp;nbsp; It doesn't sound so funny now does it?&amp;nbsp; Well if Ron Paul was allowed to speak his truth's enough and people would do a little work and research, then what he is saying wouldn't be sounding funny.&amp;nbsp; If you really want to stop McCain get a forum where Ron Paul is allowed to ask John McCain a few questions.&amp;nbsp; Get him ten minutes to ask McCain questions and he will destroy him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The ten minutes doesn't include the time McCain will fumble around to attempt to answer them.&amp;nbsp; Hell, let Dr. Paul ask McCain five minutes of questions and he will destroy him.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/95363-88060/JohnMcCainugly.jpg" width=96 border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;One of the issues that American's understand and care about is closing our borders.&amp;nbsp; Again I ask how can you really say we are fighting a war on terror and we REFUSE to close our borders.&amp;nbsp; Another way to slow the McCain Train is shine the light on one of his advisors.&amp;nbsp; Juan Hernandez.&amp;nbsp; If you watch any of the talk cable news shows you have seen this guy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/95363-88060/Juan_Hernandez.jpg" width=81 border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.juanhernandez.org/"&gt;http://www.juanhernandez.org/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;DIV id=commentsTitel&gt;&lt;FONT size=5&gt;Open borders advocate Juan Hernandez has joined the McCain campaign&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;GLENN: Here it is, here's John McCain. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;VOICE: I wonder if you agree with those policies. If so, explain it to me. And if not, why is he on your staff. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;McCAIN:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt; He's on my staff because he supports my policies and my proposals and my legislative proposal to secure the borders first, that no one will receive Social Security benefits who is in this country illegally. I don't know what his previous positions are, other previous positions are but he supports mine. I have nothing to do with his. And he has volunteered to help me with outreach to our Hispanic citizenry as that is his reach as I outreach to every citizen in America. I've made very clear my position on immigration, made very clear on my position on Social Security and, of course, I am grateful that we have so many people who came from Ireland to the United States of America and anybody else who can come here legally under the right system and that's the only system that I would ever support and I have no idea but I will check into the information you've given me. But I want to promise you I will secure our borders. I will not allow anyone to come here illegally. I will not allow anyone to receive Social Security or any other benefit because they have come here illegally and broken our laws. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;GLENN: Okay. That's John McCain. Now, it's so disingenuous to say he doesn't know who this man is or his policies. This is a guy who used to work for Vicente Fox. He is the most open border guy you could possibly imagine. Here's just one clip of Juan Hernandez, and we've got tons of them and we'll be playing them over the next few days. Here's just one clip of Juan Hernandez on TV. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;HERNANDEZ:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt; I don't think that we need to build walls to control immigration. We are the 21st century now and we're a country that has always broken down walls. Once again with regard to securing the borders, we need to work with Mexico. We're never going to have a secure border. We're not going to put a wall up for these hundreds and hundreds thousands of miles. We have to work with our neighbors. We need to think now for the future. Canada, the United States and Mexico as a block. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;GLENN: Canada, Mexico and America as a block. That's who this guy is. Michelle? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;MALKIN: A block, not a region. He said it many times. He also, when he worked for this Mexican bureaucracy called the presidential office for Mexican abroad, what he did was he spent his time traveling all across our country lobbying local, state and federal officials for driver's license for illegal aliens. He defended his operators who were carrying illegal aliens to the country and who promoted extending banking privileges here in the United States to illegal aliens, lobbied to get lower rates for them so that they could send home billions of dollars in remittances back to their country. The guy does not believe in borders. He is a senior fellow at something called the Reform Institute which is a think tank that John McCain founded and it has come under scrutiny by the mainstream media because it underscores John McCain's hypocrisy not just on open borders but also on campaign finance because he's used his supposedly nonpartisan, nonprofit thinking to solicit donations from big donors who he then goes and crusades for while he's sitting on Senate committees. At this reform institute which is in part funded with George Soros money, Juan Hernandez was in charge of leading the lobbying campaign for John McCain's amnesty effort last year. And this reform institute also sponsored an art contest for students where they spent their time demonizing the border. And you can go and look. I linked this on my website, to all of the art that compares the walls our borders and our border fences to the Berlin wall which keeps people in instead of walling people out to prevent invasion, to prevent undermining our sovereignty, to prevent encroaching of our laws. And for McCain to have the gall to stand there and tell that voter in Florida who, by the way, learned about this Juan Hernandez thing by looking at our research on the Internet, for him to say that he supports securing the border first when he's got a guy outreaching to illegal aliens to persuade them to make John McCain President?
