Barack Obama has said he wants a second term to finish his work.
What work would that be? Would that be the destruction of America as an economic and military power?
Some people have asked the question, if Barack Obama's specific intention were to do as much damage to America as he could, would he have done anything differently?
The answer, sadly, is no.
Now we are seeing the fruits of one of the most destructive policies of the Obama regime.
Canadians are awash in oil. They have more oil than they know what to do with. They wanted to send it to the United States for processing and then consumption. Thanks to Obama, that effort was blocked.
If you study economics at all, you know that individuals as well as nations act in their own enlightened self-interest. Canada has a valuable resource. They were not simply going to sit on it. If America was not going to buy its oil, Canada would find another customer. And it has.
It is China.
The Chinese are now buying oil companies and energy reserves in Canada.
Unfortunately for America, Obama has decided to make war on energy. This is what he promised in 2008. Unfortunately, no one believed him back then.
This year, coal-fired power plants representing 8.5% of the total coal fired power plant capacity, are being taken out of service. These plants are being retired because of new, massive and expensive government regulations.
More plant closings are planned for the future.
What does this mean?
For now we have enough natural gas coming in to keep our power plants generating but ultimately this means higher prices for consumers, and at some point, energy shortages.
Obama's goal is to eliminate coal-fired power plants. He has said as much. If he gets a second term, with no worry about trying to be reelected again, his war on energy is going to expand.
The only energy projects that interest Obama have two things in common. First, they are epic, abject failures. And second, they involve major fundraisers for the Democrat Party.
The free market delivers energy and an efficient and relatively cheap manner. Unfortunately for America, Obama's war on energy is a larger war. It is also a war on the free market.
If he wins re-election, we will have neither peace nor prosperity nor the ability to heat our homes in the winter and cool them in the summer.
This is the work Obama wants to finish.

Dear
American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,
regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:
We have
stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the
whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a
divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of
future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its
course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and
will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on
friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable
differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation
agreement:
1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the
country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the
difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly
agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective
representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides
had such distinct and disparate tastes.
2. We don't like
redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
3. You are welcome to
the liberal judges and the ACLU.
4. Since you hate guns and
war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the
military.
5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you
can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
6. You can keep
Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible
for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of
them.
7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations,
pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
8. You
can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless
homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
9. We'll
keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and
Rednecks.
10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and
Hollywood.
11. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine
and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten
us.
12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters.
When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide
them security.
13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian
values.
14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology,
Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have
the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
15.
We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can
take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
16. You can
give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing
doctors.
17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is an
earned luxury and not a right.
18. We'll keep "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
19. I'm
sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the
World to Sing," "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the World."
20. We'll
practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up
poverty your best shot.
21. Since it often so offends you,
we'll keep our history, our name, our constitution and our
flag.
22. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it
along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you
do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll
bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15
years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law
Student and an American
P.S.: Also, please take Ted Turner,
Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, and Jane Fonda with
you.
P.P.S.: And you won't have to "Press 1 for English"
when you call our country.
Forward this every time you get
it! Let's keep this going; maybe some of it will start sinking
in!
**If you can't
stand behind our Military, please feel free to stand in front of them!

There are actually two messages here. The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:U.S. 65%England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:U.S. 93%England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:U.S. 90%England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:U.S. 77%England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:U.S. 71England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":U.S. 12%England 2%
Canada 6%
Check this last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is...a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt...........38%
Taft.......................40%
Wilson ....................52%
Harding..................49%
Coolidge................. 48%
Hoover ...................42%
F. Roosevelt............50%
Truman..................50%
Eisenhower..............57%
Kennedy................30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon....................53%
Ford.....................42%
Carter....................32%
Reagan.................56%
GH Bush...............51%
Clinton ...............39%
GW Bush..............55%
And the winner is:
Obama............... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line. So..do you now think we need a change? I'll bet I know what your answer will be.
Pass this on! We'll NEVER see these facts in the main-stream media."One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors." Plato

Our Upside-Down Country. Each one is frightening!
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money.
======================
I LOVED THIS ONE.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of"underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health care of everyone else) whileunmarried women are free to have child after child on the "State's" dime while never being held responsible for their own choices.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks (to not work).
======================
I LOVE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, TOO
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really protecting the rights of the people.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
The rights of the Government come before the rights of the individual.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children.
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage (while buying iphones, TV's and new cars) and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage (with your tax dollars).
======================
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe".
======================
LOVED THIS ONE TOO
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.
======================
AND THIS ONE
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
An 80 year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

Ask Governor Scott to involve the public and private stakeholders to develop a plan to correct Florida’s water quality issues.
While freshwater springs are not a major feature of southwest Florida, they do suffer many of the ills as our local waterways – over consumption of water supplies and excessive nutrient pollution. Springs are also a valuable part of Florida’s economy, tourism and natural beauty and they deserve to be protected. In the last 10 years, many of the famous freshwater springs and rivers in the central and northern parts of the state have seen a sharp drop-off in flows and a steady rise in algae, including Silver Springs and the Silver River.
Please join our Florida Conservation Coalition partners to ask Governor Scott to harness the power of public and private stakeholders and create a plan to correct the issues facing these waterways. All he needs to do is direct the Department of Economic Opportunity to assess establishing a Resource Planning and Management Committee.
Here are two ways to make your voice heard:
Use the online petition
http://www.change.org/petitions/governor-rick-scott-speak-up-for-silver-springs
The other is to print the petition, sign it and mail it in, or print it and take it to a few meetings to have others sign as well. This located at:
http://floridaconservationcoalition.org
Thank you for joining us and the Florida Conservation Coalition to stand together to restore and protect our freshwater resources all around our state – our economy and quality of life depend on it.
Best,
Andrew McElwaine
President
Conservancy of Southwest Florida
LATEST OPEN-SOURCE CYBERSECURITY SOFTWARE APPROVED FOR GOVERNMENT USE
DHS S&T co-sponsors validation of publically available cryptography software
Washington, DC– The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) today announced the validation and availability of an open-source cybersecurity tool for securing information shared across the Internet. Government agencies required to use cryptographic software validated to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), will now have access to Open Secure Socket Layer (OpenSSL v2.0), a free, publicly available security software that meets federal security guidelines.
“OpenSSL is a widely-used component in many software security applications,” said Luke Berndt, DHS Program Manager for the Homeland Open Security Technology (HOST) program. The mission of the HOST program is to identify viable and sustainable open source solutions that support national cybersecurity objectives. “With this program available for government use, the nation’s critical online information will be safer while the government will find greater cost savings.”
The National Institute of Standards and Technology validated the Open SSL using the FIPS 140-2 security standard for testing cryptographic modules. This validation is required for cryptography used to protect sensitive or valuable data within the federal government. The validation process was funded by DHS S&T and other government agency and private sector partners.
“DHS S&T’s investment in the validation process for OpenSSL will help government users access the latest security software, and allow software developers to integrate OpenSSL into the products they offer to government clients,” said Berndt. “This collaborative effort is a great example of how government and industry can both benefit from the use of open source software.”
More information about the new FIPS 140-2 validated OpenSSL module is available at http://openssl.org/.
